Hi everyone, I'm new here.
So can anyone will help me find good kernel for my phone? I was having some problems when I used stock rom 4.4.2, i downloaded the KTSGS4, AdamKernel, Ausdim and Arter97 kernels and put it to sd card (i did choose the TW one), when i flash each one of it, i saw the samasung logo for 1 seconds and directs me to odin mode, only working kernel is arter97 but it makes my phone hot and extreme battery consumption.
I was using cm12.1 before and kernel is one from arter. I dont know what to choose whether AOSP or touchwiz because i dont know my phone whats in it. Is custom kernel will work for custom roms only? I dont if its gonna work for stock rom too.
If you want my specs so here:
Galaxy s4 (Korea SHV-E330S) KitKat 4.4.2
32 GB Internal and 2 GB Ram
QuadCore 2.6 GHz

Custom kernel works on certain ROMs which the kernel is designed to. Even if you're on stock, you could anyway install custom kernel but you need to watch out the annoying Knox notifications.

Hi, complete noob here.
Recently I flashed JellyBlast v3 by Avijit, but since it is now a banned rom and I will no longer get support and updates, I would want to change rom and kernel.
Am I on stock kernel or not? because in about phone settings, it doesn't show that I am running kuro kernel, it only shows that I am running [email protected]#1 (stock i think)
and if my kernel is on stock, can i flash a new rom right away???
flash kuro kernel instead
Yes you are on stock kernel and secondly it depends on the ROM's instructions and requirements since not all ROMs have the same procedure for installation.

yes u r on stock kernel.
use odin for flashing stock rom or you can restore the backup you created before (if backuped)

Hi folks!
I'm one of the the few lucky ones still being on the pre-KNOX 4.2.2, buildnumber JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA. I own the international (swedish unbranded) version of the I9505. At the moment i have Root and a custom recovery installed, stock TouchWiz.
Now I want to discuss the pros and cons of WHETHER staying on this version, installing a custom ROM and a custom recovery OR updating to Jelly Bean 4.3 and only having the possibility to root without voiding my warranty.
I'm wondering:
Are there are any improvements in performance and stability with Jelly Bean 4.3?
Is there a stable custom ROM?
Is there a stable custom ROM that uses all the possibilties on the SGS4?
The reasons why I want to have ROOT is the annoying inability to move app data to the SD card. I don't want to void warranty.
Every answer/idea/opinion is welcome!

Hi, first of all, you lucky guy can flash every custom ROM 4.3 and also 4.4.2 when no new bootloader is included.:good:
the Samsung based ROMS are fully working. All you have to do is to flash a ROM of your choice and update your baseband. It should have the same base as the ROM. So if the ROM is based on a NB8 firmware, you have to use a NB8 baseband. But flash only the modem.bin file, not the non-hlos file.
for working wifi use a custom kernel like KT or similar.
The performance and the batterylife are in my opinion much better in 4.3 and 4.4.2.
it depends on your using.
just try a little bit. As long as you not update you bootloader, you're on the safe side.

How do I know that a custom ROM doesn't contain the new bootloader? Does the bootloader come with the kernel? If so, which kernel versions are safe? Which custom ROM without new kernel is most stable?
Do 4.3 and 4.4 run on the old kernel? Are there significant improvements in the original kernel coming with 4.3?
After reading about 4.4 I absolutely do not want to update to KitKat.
Many questions but the amount of kernels and ROMs is simply overpowering for someone who does not have the time to read every post on XDA every day.
Seeing forward to your answers.
I'm pre knox and have flashed various rims including the Google Edition roms. Currently I'm on KitKat TW rom using the pre rooted debloated version. You'll have to update to the kitkat kernel but this is included in the rom. All custom roms that are flashable via recovery will not have the new bootloader. Knox is tied into the bootloader. Why don't you want to install kitkat? It's better overall with the new kitkat features.
I run KT kernel it's a fantastic kernel in my opinion and has many tweaks.

Thank you for your answer. I read about problems accessing the SD card in KitKat. Or is this not a problem with custom ROMs? I want to be able to move app data to SD card.

Would you mind and give me the link? I want something to start with.
OK after trying a couple of ROMs and failing miserably and having to reload the stock Firmeware a couple of time i am getting tired of this. Even what Rom makers say it is W8 compatible i get screwed... It's not my first phone, was on a S3 before and did plenty of modding and Roms , but this S5 W8 is starting to give me headaches... Maybe it's me, maybe i'm stupid all of a sudden...
So Canadian owners of the S5 W8 what Roms are you using successful ? And how did you do it.
I know it was discussed before and the consensus was that a separate W8 Canadian section was not needed due to it's compatibility with the F version, but i think it is, maybe it's just me....
W8 Telus here. XtraSoLite for the last two weeks without any problem. Stock kernel. Blaze kernel didn't work for me so I gave up for now.

What Kernel did you use ? This one StockXXU1ANE2Kernel from the link in the Rom thread ?
I'm using alliance with blaze kernel and have had no problem flashing any thing else.What I did was flash super su via Odin to get root, then I installed mobile Odin and flashed latest twrp recovery. I backed up stock Rom then through Rom customizer I flashed alliance. Good luck.

Are you still having difficulty? What are your steps? Maybe I could help?

Before you flash a ROM you should make a backup through recovery. In the case that the flash fails this will enable you to recover instead of ODIN restore

Thanks Salem , got the Alliance rom running ( still had the yellow kernel warning ) but it booted. Followed the steps you wrote.
I'm on the fido w8 and I tried just about every rom and blaze kernel everything worked. I'm back to stock with exposed though nothing beats it imo.

Newb here.
When you say stock with exposed .. can you clarify ?
Stock rom? or stock kernel? And is exposed a rom or just a framework you can install?
Cheers.
Stock, rom stock kernel only xposed framework and modules mainly wanam.

Is anyone on Bell ? what rom works ?
What's the best ?
I heard Omega is good ????
Is anyone else getting a persistent voicemail notification? I'm on the Rogers variant and some Googling has indicated that people using the AT&T/Sprint versions had the same issue. I'm on the latest update but this is still happening.
What Canadian Rom come whit Spanish whit it.
I'm sure

I know this is old but I happen to be playing with an s5 from bell right now. I'm on ressurection remix nougat and lineage os 14.1 nougat works as well. Flash cf root with Odin. Flash a custom recovery, I use TWRP. Go to the ressurection site and get the ROM, for you it will be klte. Reboot into recovery,wipe the phone, install ressurection remix. You also want the magisk 12.0 zip and manager APK. That's pretty much it. Custom rooted ROM running a lineage kernel. If you aren't familiar with lineage it's where the cyangoen team went. MIUI ROM works too but it's a slow download for not much reward. I've loaded lots of others but they require tweaks and fixes for things and I don't want you to need more help after the fact. Stick with one of the two I listed for the s5 and you will be ok. Also remember KLTE ROM. And as for how I'm on two roms that's a whole other story and probably not something you need to do.

I'm doing the same with my SM-900W8, but I'm finding the Camera app (in RR keeps crashing). I have no issues when I use the stock rom. The camera is the only problem I'm finding. It freezes (sometimes after the first couple photos) and then reboots. Are you having this issue? Likely not. Don't know if I'm missing something.

Hi installing A kernel is easy here are the steps
1. Make a backup because if anything goes wrong you can restore ur setting
If you want to make a back up go to Backup and restore click backup ,back up everything: System,Data,Cache,etc
make sure you backup ur stuff to ur micro sd card
2. Make sure the kernel is compatible for your device and the rom
3 Flash the kernel an enjoy
4 By the way can you tell me the kernel name and link for the ROM and the kernel so i can check if its compatible with ur device/Rom
If i helped you please press the thanks button
If u have any problem contact me
there are many kernels for s4 based on 4.2 and 4.3
perseus, adam and many more
do remember to create a backup using recovery
philz recovery is best
then download the zip of any kernel (do remember to check its compatibility with ur OS version i.e jb or kk)
any flash it using recovery

I thought that for the I9500 almost no custom kernels are being maintained anymore. Better to stick with the one that comes with the rom.
Hi guys I'm new to android and rooting and this seems to be really a noob question. I am wondering if it is possible to flash galaxy s7 to Android Marshmallow rom just like Nexus phones.

You mean go back to stock touchwiz firmware? Yes you can. Go to Samobile, download the firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.

Nexus phones run stock aosp roms, if that's what you're asking about, it depends on the phone having unlocked bootloader and root, then you would need a stock Android rom for your specific device, you can't just download any rom and flash it, you kill/brick your phone that way.

If we can flash custom roms on galaxy s7 (of course rooted), why cant flash nexus rom?

Because the custom roms are based on Samsung touchwiz. An AOSP Rom needs to be made for the specific device. And that means the developers needs the sources for the phone. In this case the S7. And they are not public on the exynos devices, unlike the Qualcomm. So it's a try and failure. That's why it most like will never be a stable release of AOSP on exynos ( and Qualcomm since they have locked bootloader)
