Hello I have kind of a n00b question. I currently had a galaxy tab running a kernal that was made for the JJ family, (rotos). If I want to flash a JMI rom do I flash it first then flash the kernal for the JM* family?
Wrong section. However you would have to flash the kernel first. That's what I did with Modaco.

Hi!
I'm currently using Epyslon3's CM7.1.0 on 2.2.2 official kernel for my country.
I would like to flash his ICS rom but, I need to flash GB kernel.
I saw a topic on this forum that you cannot downgrade from 2.3.4 kernel.
Does it refers to all 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 kernels depending on a region, or just to that chinese kernel ?
My current kernel is working perfectly, but I don't want to lose downgrade function.
Can someone help me ?
GB kernel to use to try the GB ICS is available either on ICS thread or in the thread in general forum. Search it out
Or you can try Quarx's Froyo kernel build too, no need to change the kernel you are using currently. Check relevant thread here.
And this should be in general or Q&A, not dev forum.
You can downgrade from the gingerbread kernel, but you can't downgrade if you flashed a full gingerbread sbf. So don't worry if you flash a kernel as long as you don't flash a sbf.
So I can flash a nandroid backup and I won't lose the downgrade possibility?
Hi XDA-members!
I'm kind of a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing, but I manage to do it with a little time and guides!
My question is:
Are all ROMs that can be flashed on Android 4.2.2 compatible with Android 4.3?
If not, what ROMs can you currently flash?
Thanks!! :good:

Dude if you want 4.3 be complete..keep stock rom stock kernel stock recovery with all system apps and no root and boot laoder unlocked...
You can flash any roms from sections if you are on 4.2.2
dev's of respective roms are building rom based on 4.3 so just stay tuned.. hope my post helped you.
I'm currently running CM 11 nightlies and have a custom recovery on my i9506, but would love to play around with the stock ROM. The thing is it's a pain to use other programs to "factory restore" the device (erasing the custom recovery, having to work out how to root it again, stripping out a bit of bloat/knox).
Do you guys know if anyone's released a flashable .zip of the stock 4.4.x TouchWiz ROM which is pre-rooted, knox removed and ready to tweak?
I would ask in the i9506 forum but I don't want to clutter it with non-ROM threads.
Thanks guys.
Hello all,
I have a i9505 and, currently I am on stock 4.4.2, with XXUGNG8 baseband. The phone is from Romania, but I live in Greece.
I am to choose from the following ROMS:
Resurrection Lollipop v5.4.0
Omega 41
GOLDENEYE v51
ECHOE v47
Imperium LL v3.1
Eudemony
Currently the most used kernels are AEL, imperium, stock.
I like having a custom kernel (as I used, in my old Galaxy S1). Which of the two(AEL vs imperium) is better?
Also are there any reported issues with 4G while using a custom kernel or 4G has to do with baseband?
Thank you

No rom is better. It's a personal choice. So just try it out.

Seems like you prefer touchwiz roms.
Depends on what you want. I haven't used any of those roms. RR seems to be the most customizable. Echoe was also very popular.

He did reviews on most of the roms here on xda. He is also from Romania. So you can ask him if you have any questions.
If you have issues with 4G then you will probably have to flash the modem. That generally fixes it.
To sum up the process:
I use Odin to flash TWRP, and from TWRP I install the rom's ZIP?
Or should i flash something else instead? Now I am on stock 4.4.2

That's exact the right way. Choose the latest twrp and flash any custom ROM. No matter if it is 442 or 5.0.1 or whatever. It could be possible that you will lose mobile data and/or wifi. In that case update your modem to a version that matches with your ROM.
Here's a guide how to update modems with odin.

NOTE: if you flash twrp or another recovery, your knox counter will be 0x1. But i think you know that already.[emoji2]

I would recommend that you root first so you can backup your apps and data with titanium backup.
This is not really necessary if you don't care about the apps.
Also, don't forget to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
