[Q] Question about kernel

If I flash to a new kernel can I change it back to stock kernel? im very new to this:good:

yes, by flashing the stock kernel or reflashing your rom.

Thanks
Thank you and colud you tell me where can I download the original kernel?
Thank you:good:

a google or xda search is a good place to start. you can always pull tbe boot.img out of a stock rom and flash it.

Question about franco kernel ????

Hi everyone!!! Everytime when booting my phone, it's stuck on Google Logo, I have to to fastboot it with franco r14 kernel in order to get it booting done. Is there any way so I dont have to fastboot everytime I restart my phone, flash to stock kernel or franco r15 ???
I tried to flash faux123 kernel but it just did not work, stuck on Google logo...

If I recall correctly, franco kernel uses a different ramdisk so before you switch to another kernel you have to return to stock (kernel)
I suggest return to stock kernel, then flash franco r15.

This is what faux suggest to use to reset to stock kernel, for stock ROM only.

If you're in franco, before you switch to another kernel you have to return to stock kernel.
I don't know why you're stuck with Google logo in the first place with franco, but if you're just switching between kernels, especially when there is franco kernel involved, return to stock kernel will likely solve the problem.

Custom kernel is gone after flashing a rom

Why is it that I have to reflash a custom kernel every time I flash the newest build of a rom?

Any time you flash a custom ROM, it will always include some kernel along with it. Hence, when you flash the newest build of a rom, you're also re-flashing the original kernel that it came with.

I see. Thanks! So I pretty much gotta flash my own custom kernel every time then?

As far as I know yes. There could possible be some way of flashing without the kernel, but I think it's much safer to just flash the whole custom ROM and then re-flashing your own custom kernel.

Yeah the easiest thing to do is just install the ROM with its kernel then just flash your kernel of choice.

[Q] Switching ROM and Kernel precaustions

If you flash a brand new ROM to your phone does the kernel (and RAMDISK changes) go away?
I'm asking because I have another Kernel and ROM running on my phone and I'm thinking of flashing a new (completley different) kernel and ROM as well, a lot of kernel developers require you flash a stock kernel before switching to another kernel, then flash the kernel of choice.
I'm scared to brick my phone...
So what would be the steps I need to take to change kernels and update my current ROM?

Which kernel are you planning to switch to?
When you need to flash the stock kernel first in order to flash their kernel, they will tell you in the OP. You can flash the stock kernel every time you flash a new kernel if you like.

I'm swittching from Motley to franco, I'm staying on the same ROM (xylon)

Just flash Franco's kernel as is. No need to do anything else.

[Q] Need stock kernel for I9505

Hello, I have I9505 with Philz Recovery and SlimBean ROM.
I've tried to flash this kernel, but my device stuck at boot,
tried flashing Chronic 4.2 kernel - reboots after 1-2 minutes.
Please, give the link to stock kernel (as far as I remember is was something like "....3.4.0.....")

Why would you flash a stock kernel on a custom rom? No benefit in that, only possible trouble. It is better to stick with the kernel that comes with the rom.
