Stock kernel?

I flashed a new rom yesterday with a custom kernel, it is running way warmer than the stock one...
Does anyone have a .zip file for the kernel to flash in recovery?
Please and thank you!

Please post questions in General section.

I'm asking for someone to post the stock kernel, I'm not asking a question. This should be in the Dev thread.

ROM questions please?

I have uk sgs2 with xxkg2 and chainfire root with the yellow triangle on bootup...question is as follows:
There is a ROM thread kh3 in the general section and also lots of roms in the development sections referencing kh3 etc...what's what...which one do I use...is kh3 firmware or rom?
Do I have to use odin or cwm to flash the new rom/firmware?
Finally whats the difference between the two development forums and which ROMs the most popular in your opinion?
Thanks and sorry for noob type questions!

They're basically different ROMs based on the KH3 firmware
How you flash it depends on the ROM itself.

firmware=/=rom=/=os=/=android all the same thing in this case
kh3 is the newest leaked rom, there will be odin flashable files available from the thread, and there's a cf-root kh3 kernel available

Instruction come with each rom .

First of all, welcome to SG2! Hope you enjoying it.
1. All depends on your preference. Some say KG1 is good, some say KH3, etc etc. All depends on your preference. Just try and see which is your preference.
2. Odin is need to use computer and cwm recovery is by turning off phone first, then home button, volume up and power button all at same time.
3. Original is where dev who created them using new ways (in easy words). Most of them are less-samsung-ness. So if you install them, example CM7 (cynogen mod) or MIUI roms, you will not have samsung apps inside but you can install them if you are interested.
Hope this helps a little.

Thanks guys...Let me see if I've got this right...
1) I need to install the ROM first and then flash a kernel from chainfire..correct?
2) Also, I'm interested in MIUI, Villian, Cognition and Modaco ROMs...don't know much about them just seems a lot of people are using them/have interest in by looking at number of pages for each thread...any views please?
3) Sorry, lastly the KH3 rom in the general section is I guess original Samsung unmodified ROM??

What ROM ??? you have a ROM installed already its your original firmware .
For root flash kernel from Chainfires thread you will also get CWM .
2) Also, I'm interested in MIUI, Villian, Cognition and Modaco ROMs...don't know much about them just seems a lot of people are using them/have interest in by looking at number of pages for each thread...any views please?
Your choice Cognition and Villain probably easier to start with .
3) Sorry, lastly the KH3 rom in the general section is I guess original Samsung
KH3 rom in the general section would be the same as the rom in the stock roms post in Dev section .
One ROOT and install Clockwork Mod recovery .
Two decide on custom rom and follow its install instructions .
Nothing to stop you flashing a stock KH3 rom before above steps .

Thanks jje...I don't have any custom roms installed...just stock leaked kg2...phone is already rooted and with CWM recovery..
How does Modaco rate as I have kitchen account (previously owned zte blade!)?

Basically, the ROM is Gingerbread. There are many updates which are very tiny tweaks. Look at Samfirmware.com
Rom developers use these latest ROM's because of the unsatiable appetite of those who want the latest (not a proper update) slightly changed update with dev tweaks

In other words, we have an OCD when it comes to version numbers and not having the latest firmware installs. Just ends up feeling like there is something we are missing out on and could benefit from whatever it is in the update.

[Q] flashing CM9

when installing CM9 to your defy is it the same process for flashing CM7 or is there a slight variation or something?

Now why would you open a new thread for this question?

i realised that i could've directly asked on the actual CM9 thread, only after i'd just posted this thread, sorry.

another weird thread

is there anything u want to see in this video that i missed explaining >?

The original thread was Dev based, about the ROM being released and how stable it is as released. This thread was noob based about how to flash said ROM and if it is different from another, very similar ROM.
Why clutter one thread when you can have two?
Anyway, to answer the question instead of of questioning the question, Yes the basic principle is the same. Once you have the System Recovery installed, it's a case of copying the CM9 zip file to your SD card and flashing the same as CM7, although the way I've personally done it is using Multiboot, so that I can normally use CM7 for "production" but can have a go and see how CM9 is progressing for a few minutes or so.
The Multiboot thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
Have fun.

And to get back to CM7 from CM9, you only have to flash the CM7 zip?

Reboot and press vol- when you seen blue light. You'll be taken to the bootmenu. It's stated in there version of your current bootmenu.
And yes you need to change it speaking of compatibility..

Absolutely not. You don't need to mess around with bootmenu versions and other stuff. Just read the thread i pointed to above, it works, proven by people following it with succes, and no need to change bootmenus

Installed scndInitvs2.0 which gave an option of installing either 0.6.5 or 1.0.7 bootmenu. So chose 1.0.7
Rebooted a couple of times.
Did factory reset , cleared cache and cleared dalvik cache in that order.
applied 12-07 CM9 zip

Help with installing CyanogenMod 9

After downgrading back go gingerbread stock safe from overcome, I put CM9, gapps, and overcome kernel in root, as per directions.
I then went into recovery and installed CM9, however I can not see overcome kernel in there anywhere. Why is that so?

overcome kernel? are you installing cm9 or overcome? cm9 its ics, overcome is gb, why you looking for overcome kernel?? there is cm9 kernel for cm9 rom, it's totally different!!!

You read the instruction incorrectly.
After stock safe you must use odin to flash overcome kernel.
That will convert your partition to ext4 and give you cwm recovery.
Boot to recovery and flash cm9 rom then latest cm9 kernel, then gapps.
Btw: this should not be a new thread in dev section.
Mod, please move it. Thanks.

Also you might want to search first before you ask.
@priyana - Report the post & I can respond to it. Just typing the word "Mod" does not summon me.

Before making any threads first please READ THE RULES. :good:
This general section and you should post your questions in Q&A section.
Yes you can directly flash the kernel on CM10.1.3 rom.
Goto franco's thread in Original dev section and download the 4.2.2 based kernel and flash it.
Moderators please move this thread. :good:
Press thanks if I helped you.:good:

CM has changed the way the ROM uses the kernel. 10-1-2013 is the last date you can use Franco's kernel anymore.
That link should provide more info.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/80060-custom-kernels-issue/

OP is talking about cm10.1.3-- 4.2.2.
If you want Franco, you flash the same one you flashed on stock rom... r165 is the last 4.2 compatible kernel. It's right in the first post of the thread.

Thank you for all.
