flashing new ROM comes with a new kernel

if you want you can flash SDSL v2.0 it's much better then your current rom.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364416

Well i'm aware that by flashing a new rom a new kernel is installed. What i'm asking is if its possible to install a new kernel on my rom.
Thanks

of course, you can install only the kernel from SDSL but you can run into many problems like non-working things (e.g camera, wi-fi etc). you must download the update.zip of SDSL and unpack it. within there you can find a boot.img.
flash it like this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

but do a nandroid before !
but like the others recommended: Use the new version, or a different ROM (tejasdj12's builds, wingrime's Openswift ROM )

Hm ok thnks for the advice. Now i have to ask, what rom you think is best to me? I like roms 2.3.x... wich you think is best and more stable?

[GUIDE] Rooting SGSII & Installing NeatROM Lite v4.0

Hi,
I have been following up NeatROM thread for some time now and i see ppl asking for questions already answered there but they are having problems finding that answer on that thread so i am giving you links and complete Guide on how to install NeatROM Lite v4.0 (best rom which i have experienced uptil now but thats only my opinion) , I am really heavy user of the phone with calls and text messaging with FB, Whatsapp, Viber, Tapatalk and Twitter.
So let me start now.
First , You should make sure that you have safe kernel (without EMMC Bug), to be on the safe side , just flash any region firmware which is 4.0.3 and not 4.0.4 via ODIN.
After that you can apply CF-Root & PhilZ Rooted Kernel ( I would suggest PhilZ Rooted Kernel ) You can go Here to find your relevant kernel.
After flashing the kernel , you are rooted Step 1 Is completed.
After rooting you need to download NeatROM Lite v4.0 from Here and Flash it from the recovory , you can wipe data safely as you have safe kernel , after flashing the rom , make sure that you boot the phone and complete the boot process , after that just reboot the phone to recovery and flash Aroma Mods 4.0.2 (Whichever You Need) From Here
Everything is in order and the phone should be booted immediately.
After flashing Aroma Mods , if you want Ink effect , just flash This to get ink effect and other modification. Your phone is ready for use now..
If you have any questions, just post here and i will try my best to help you
Thanks Alot To SALE to give such a awesome ROM..
I am using this rom as a daily driver and having no problems with battery life too
ENJOY

This Is a really good idea for noobs or people coming from aokp, cm10. Good job:thumbup:
Well organised.

You can't duel boot with latest lsj based rom as the sources for kernel are not out yet for developers like Dorimanx and siyah to use.
You would only be able to boot it as the only rom on your phone at present.

I'm new too. Coming from aokp jb rom. I have no idea what will happen but I can't imagine it will be a good thing to do.
You will have do a search on that thread I'm afraid. Or be brave to ask
P. S I personally prefer the lite addition of rom so less sumsung bloat will come with rom that could drain more battery.
Good luck with whatever you do

You cannot use latest aroma mods 4.0.2 on previous neatrom versions...they r for jb rom .. there r aroma mods for ics too .. u have to use that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for the guide, its much appreciated.
Does anyone know if you can flash ICS Aroma mods onto JB?
Basically running the new XXLSJ but I really want to flash the spell check feature that was only on UHLPY, LPX etc.
Seeing that you're running the LPX lock screen I'm going to assume its okay but I thought I'd ask.

*NeatROM*

Hey guys,
I have an issue. I have installed latest NeatRom Lite 4.2 after performing full wipe but I tried to install XXLS8 Aroma modes after a day or so.
But after the installation only Note 2 gallery seemed to be installed and other features were not installed at all.
Have I done something wrong here? Should I have installed Aroma modes right after the flashing NeatRom 4.2?
Awaiting your response.

I could be wrong but if I'm not mistaken, with Neatrom (Samsung based ROM), you need to use Siyah 6.05b (or 6.04) and not the mcm. I believe the mcm is for CM based ROMs.
Wait just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, it shows Philz recovery then freezes? Or is it not showing Siyah and that's what you're looking for?

[Q] [L7]New to all this, pls help

So I'm getting a brand new L7 tomorrow and I really don't like that it comes only with android 4.0 and Lg's skin.
I want to root and install a custom ROM, and after the (very little) research I've made it looks like that the CarbonRom for 4.4.2 (p705) is the more "stable" (pls correct me if I'm wrong). In the website it said that the device has NFC so it must be the p700 which may force me to install a different kernel (to work with the ROM).
My doubts are if I can keep updating the ROM, as new updates came out, without losing my data/settings? And if something goes wrong how do I go to stock (as it came by Lg)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it's not my first language

It wil lcome with 4.1.2 .. also sucks to get L7, it really sucks...after you have a custom rom, you can keep updating it without losing any data by just wiping cache and dalvik cache in cmw and then flashing new build.

Thank you, for answering me

No need for baseband if you're running jelly bean+(v20)
Though you will need to root phone and install CMW(clockworkmod) so you can flash roms, but it's easy and everythings here.

also abut kernels, there was a kernel in carbon topic for p700, just skim through pages.

Nice that makes things easier
yeah, I have rooted an old tablet (nook color) and it was fairly easy it's just that this is supposed to be my daily driver so I just want to be extra careful
Already saw it thanks, now I'm just deciding between "installing" Carbon and CM by Cr3pT (4.4.2) they both look stable enough and smooth....

seems like you will have to change then it's nothing hard, just flash v20b through cmw and then rom and gapps

Helping My Mom with her LG L7

Hey guys, so I noticed my moms phone after 2 years got really laggy and I didn't like it, I'm experienced with rooting and flashing but its better to ask help from you guys.
First of all her phone is a LG Optimus L7 (Not II)
The baseband is 10e, I read that JB is 20e(?)
Heres a summary of what I need to do:
-Flash JB (20e?)(Can you provide a link?
-Root
-Flash a Custom ROM
About the Custom ROM, if you guys could provide your own opinion, for daily use only, and if possible, the latest OS, Kitkat.
Many thanks guys. )

My recommendation, don't use latest Android, yet. Because stability problem and speed problem, too
Use something stabler, like CM10 (Jellybean). So, you don't have to upgrade to v20 to flash it.

If you want to stick with cm10, flash slimbean with phenom kernel.
