1. Linux requires kernel to work. check more from wikipedia. Every rom comes with kernel, because without it the rom wouldn't work.
2. No.
3. It is custom recovery, which allows you to install roms and do few other things too.

[Q] MIUI Question

Hello,
I want to install a MIUI Rom and before I do it, i have a couple questions:
1) If I do evil's MIUI Rom or the QnD I seen on his site, I just wipe the phone, nanbackup, then flash the new rom? I'm coming from Ice Glacier 1.1.6 themed with gorilla OC kernal.
A) Do I need a different kernal?
B) Do I need do setup ext4 on my sdcard?
2) Any suggestions which MIUI is the best?
Thanks for any help.
Kei
P.S. I did a search via Google, found info for other devices. I also looked at suggested threads above. I apologize of it has been asked before, I'm at work so I didn't get a chance to dive deep into search. :-(

U8800pro CWM Recovery

Hello everyone...this is my first post here. I got gifted a brand new U8800 pro device and i'm very happy of that fact. I've read a lot how to upgrade to the official 2.3.5 Gingerbread and i did it....after that i successfuly rooted the phone and finaly i'm wondering do i NEED to install ClockworkMod Recovery and what is the purpouse of this. Do i need to change the stock 2.3.5 with a custom ROM?Can anyone to tell me what the differences are? And finaly recomandations for some other from the stock one theme? Thanks
PS...sorry for my english...

1. You need to install CWM recovery only if you flash custom roms.
2. You dont need, if your happy with stock.
3. Differences are unique for roms. You can read them from rom threads usually.
4. Cant help you with theme
Stock roms are good but custom roms are way better than the stock.
Recently i change my stock rom with cyanogen and i see that the phone i faster than ever.
With custom rom you see the real power of the phone.
thank you julle131....and -TRANE-....i'll thing about changing the stock rom with the custom ones...thanks anyway
I recommend you installing CWM, you see, there are some really fancy stuff in UOT kitchen like more informative battery indicators and other goodness, and to install it you need custom recovery image.
What about custom ROMs, I've only tried CM7, but sadly sound of the back speaker is bad. Try it yourself, if you can cope with it then CM7, or maybe MIUI is the way to go, since custom ROMs almost always are better than stock no matter how good the last one is.

I read the post just now by Max, and he clearly stated...
At the heart of Infamous ROM is BioShock kernel, which XDA user Jamison904 also made. BioShock kernel is what makes this ROM pretty darn impressive with its performance boost with Quadrant scores near whopping 28k!

It means it is installed during ROM install. When messing with ROMs don't just read half of a tutorial and ignore the rest.
Ty for the answer, honestly i have read all the article, but i don't have a pretty english also i don't have understand evrithing I'm sorry...
Anyway from your post i get the BioShock kernel is automatically installed with the infamous rim is tath right?

You cannot. You need a CyanogenMod ROM with Theme Engine to use those themes.
If the ROM developer has flashable themes, you can flash them, but not the CM themes at all - unless you run AOSP.
What is AOSP?

- Asking for the "best" rom is prohibited on XDA, because no one can answer that question
- Regarding rooting before flashing a custom ROM, it is not mandatory. Some custom is pre-rooted already. Or you can root later.
- If you want to root using CF-Auto-Root, I will show you steps, it's very simple and easy, but it will trip the Knox. If you don't want the Knox to be tripped, search for Towelroot instead.
- As for extending battery life, you can try Lean Kernel (I have not tried it).

SORRY I wasn't aware about it and also SORRY for not reading the about RULES :angel:

I have already rooted my NOTE 3 buy using 'Odin' uhm do you think I did the right decision for that?

Question again do I FLASH Kernel after I FLASH the custom ROM?
Typically the answer is yes, but I'm not too sure. Please follow the instruction for a specific kernel/rom.

Can you suggest what ROM to flash?
I've search for the Lean Kernel and I didn't find any mind giving me a Link where to Download that Kernel.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Sorry I personally use stock firmware so I have no idea on custom rom.
here is the main thread of Lean kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488082

Lean kernel is here.
It's almost "impossible" to recommend a ROM. Everyone's needs/wishes are different. The best - and only sensible, to be honest - advice I or anyone else can give you is to read read and read again all youcan about a ROM, flash it, see if you like it, and repeat as necessary.

The dl links don't show for me from my work pc, but if you're in Europe and you have the 9500 version, I'm 99% sure it's 3.11-hlte-Eur or something similar.
Some custom ROMs may come budled with Lean kernel - not sure, I don't use it any more.
I know you're not asking for advice, but I mean well - as you say, you're new to flashing/ROMs etc. If I were you, I'd get to know whichever ROM you decide on first and its capabilities, especially root. Tweaking kernels would be the last thing I'd want to deal with. Trust me, you'll have more than enough tweaking to keep you happy for days irregardless of what ROM you use

Clockworkmod Recovery for your tablet.
You have two choices for roms, both are stock-based but still huge improvements over the stock rom:
Acheron Rom or
Prism Barebone
There are no custom kernels yet available as far as I know. Questions should be posted in the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Section instead of General
