So...my previous phone was motorola razr maxx xt910 with locked bootloader.
And there was nice app - bootmenumanager or safestrap, which allowed following:
have multiple virtual roms, and stock rom.
So when i had installed stock rom, with stock kernel i could also boot cm based rom which required own, cm kernel.
It was done by kexec.
Is it possible to have stock rom, with stock kernel, and as second system cm based, aosp rom like fusion or blisspop with own kernel witout needing to flash kernel on every boot?

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 and i felt like changing the rom but i've read many times that you can't flash a rom like Liberty GB or ApeX 2.0 because of it's blur framework.
But is it possible to flash the liquid smooth rom over cyanogenmod 7, through rom manager, because it built from AOSP source?
You can go from cyanogen but I would do full wipe and not flash over.
As long a you back up first you could try flashing over.
Stock with Franco:
Will it work? Will it give the same benefits as CM 10.1?
Will OTA work? If I sideload OTA will I have to reflash kernel?
CM 10.1:
If I flash new ROM/update ROM, will kernel stay?
Thanks,
Yes the kernel will work. The kernel and rom in CM10.1 is obviously different to stock and francos so im not sure how they compare - try both yourself ?
Im not sure about OTA. I would just flash a AOSP stock ROM every time there is an update just in case if you want to stay on stock.
If you flash a new ROM no the kernel will not stay you have to flash the kernel again as CM10.1 (like most ROMs) comes with its own kernel that will overwrite your current one.
I've been wanting to ask this about faux's kernel since I'm having the (very common) msm_hsic_host wakelock issue. Since we're on the subject: does anyone have a suggestion for the most stable, closest to stock, AOSP ROM?
I have tried several custom TW roms already but I'm still not that quite satisfied. There are those who are heavily debloated that some functions does not work anymore, and there are those that are so bloated... or whatever that does not matter.
I would like to flash custom kernel on stock rom to have more control on what i would like to add and remove.
I love ktoonsez SGS5 kernel. Sometimes I'm stuck on samsung boot animation, sometimes I'm stuck on Android is starting. I have wiped cache and data of course.
I would like to use the latest firmware BOJ1 or BOJ2. Is the cause related to bootloader? or anything? It seems that custom roms are using those that are a bit outdated as their base. I dunno, just a lucky guess.

Note: If you are coming from a custom kernel to Boeffla, I recommend to flash the following cleaner script in recovery before you move on to Boeffla-Kernel:

Which kernels work on Lineageos? I'm interested in flashing vegito but I'm unclear if it works? It says to flash over only stock kernel, which lineageos doesn't have, but would it work if I flash stock kernel of lineageos first, then flash vegito?

ElementalX, vegito and quark kernels should work on Lineage OS without issue (though still check their respective pages!)
By flashing only over the stock kernel, the instructions usually mean only flash over the kernel that originally came with the ROM. I imagine it's a bit confusing given the Motorola ROM kernel is also regarded as the stock kernel, but in this case, the 'stock kernel' refers to whatever kernel the ROM you flashed came with. (As an aside, don't try to flash the Motorola kernels on custom ROMs...)
Lineage OS, as with other custom and stock (Motorola) ROMs come with their own kernel included, which you replace when you flash the custom kernel. A reason for requiring that you flash over the stock (originally coming with the ROM you've flashed) kernel only appears to be because custom kernels modify the ram disk of the kernel, which other custom kernels will be incompatible with and may lead to random issues. The stock (in this case, the original ROM kernel) is clean and has no modified ram disk, so should be stable, and thus suitable for flashing a custom kernel.
If you have the original Lineage OS kernel already, then you can flash vegito in TWRP. I'd recommend taking a TWRP backup of your system and of your boot partition before flashing. The boot partition should contain your kernel as it was, so if it's clean, you can revert back from vegito by flashing the boot partition backup. And the system backup is just in case anything happens!
Alternatively, a dirty flash of your current Lineage OS build may flash an original kernel if you don't have one already.
I know that you can only flash stock roms from safestrap on cid11 but isnt there a way to flash nearly stock android with(out) root (6.0/5.0) on the cid11? I mean like changing the appearance of the os and the apps and nothing more.
You can flash any stock-based ROM that doesn't require a custom kernel.
For example, you CAN flash Alliance, Rick's ROM, jrkruse's ROMs, etc. These change some aspects, but only things that the stock kernel allows.
You cannot flash cyanogenmod, dirty unicorns, etc, because these need a non-stock kernel.
