[Q] Need for clarifications about installing custom ROM

Hi,
Just got my beautiful Note, installed Root and CWM using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
One thing is not totally clear in my head and I would you to clarify it because I don't want to make a mistake.
According to the rooting topic, I have a KKA kernel on my Note.
If I want to install a custom ROM, should I install a KKA ROM or can I install any custom ROM I want? For example XXLA6 or LA1 or anything else in ROM titles, so I'm not sure I can take any of these ROMs.
If anybody could guide me, it would be great.
Thanks for your help.

you can install whatever rom you want, because most (if not all) custom roms bring their "own" kernel with them (whatever kernel the dev choose for his build)!

[Q] Stable GM ROM? Opinions?

Hello,
I am looking for a stable GM Rom with everything working for a friends Galaxy Mini.
I will not be home for several months so he will not be able to modify smth as she doesn't know how to flash Roms etc.
Thanks in advance.
The Gxy Mini is on Stock 2.1. Anything special i should know before flashing?

I believe you first have to upgrade to Gingerbread before flashing custom roms. Also, install clockworkmod recovery via Odin before flashing custom roms.
That's about it really.
A pretty nice rom that sticks close to default is Chocobread. (Current emanom is too buggy right now, although v6 is in the making).

. Installed Stock 2.3.6 then Creed's Rev. 1.3. Interesting that the contacts didn't sync from 2.1. Then, (didn't checked on PC before) i found out that i have no phone contacts on the Google account although i synced them on the old 2.1 before wipe.
Creeds ROM feels laggy than stock 2.3.6 somtimes. I overclocked it to 710 mHz. Angry Birds Space doesn't load past the "Space birds" loading screen.
I told her to test it for a few days but i consider other options?

mebitek's cm7 rc 1 or kitten's cm7 base on mebitek's deodexed or MORe v3

i would recommend Stock ROM!

If your friend is not a techno wiz then i would suggest why don't you flash stock rom.

Theres no risk of bricking.You may even root this stock rom using odin if you wish or even flash cwm.

Change the Kernel of a rom

Hello everybody,
I recently bought a galaxy note, so decided to put in a custom rom and a custom kernel.
I always love MIUI so after a bit of search i found this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738632
So i'm asking some things like:
Is that's kernel's rom is safe?
If not safe can i change it anyway with the Abyssnote who look life more secure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424/

Pick a custom rom that is simple to install. When it is complicated there is a lot of things could go wrong.

If you want to change a kernel in a ROM the safest and simplest way is to use mobile Odin.
First select the open file option, set the partitions.
Then select the kernel tab and choose the custom kernel.
Cm9 kernels and TW kernels shouldn't be mis-matched. They go only with their corresponding ROM's.
After that you can flash the firmware. You also get the chance of Rooting it at the same time.
If you are flashing ROM through zip files(Eg. Cleanote Rom) first install Rom
Then In CWM recovery choose Advanced>Reboot recovery
ONLY NOW your new setting will be active.
Then flash the corresponding Kernel of your choice and reboot.

1. If safe that you mention is to wipe data/factory rest with that kernel i suggest don't do it..coz i got stuck onces went do that :crying:
2. and no you can't use any GB kernel with ics based Rom mate
I like that Miui to hehe.. and far as i try that TMT_Miui i pretty happy with catchy and great perfomance and as long as you don't try to wipe data/factory reset then you gonna be find

Thank you for answers

Can some explain to me why I would change my Kernel?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note NT-7000 which I won in a UK competition ..
Orignally it came with Gingerbread and had excellent life - then I did the official OTA update to ICS 4.0.3 and then I found it much slower and battery life sucked
So I decided to try rooting it to allow me to reset the battery calibration file.
I followed a very good video guide BUT I didn't add the Kernal, simply because I have no idea what the Kernal does.
I am confused as to what a Kernal is and what's the pro's and cons of different Kernals - perhaps that would make for a good video?
As far as I am ware my Kernel is whatever came with the phone. What is the safest / best Kernel to put on a Galaxy Note NT-7000?
I keep hearing for trying out new ROMs that something called the Abyss Kernel is safest? Could someone explain why this is the case and what's the latest version for my phone.
I used to have a ZTE Blade and used to flash ROMs on that all the time using ROM Manager but I don't ever remember anything about a Kernel.
When I tried ROM Manager on this phone it doesn't have any option for Samsung Galaxy Note, so I didn't go ahead and install the ClockWork Recovery.

All the ICS galaxy note has eMMC bug which can brick your phone due to wipe/factory reset.so,kernels basically save you from that.and plus gives you better performance and stability.and you can do many stuffs by rooting+wd a good kernel.
if you want a kernel for your stock rooted ics 4.0.3.then go for speed kernel or notecore.both are good and double safe.

You are with a dangerous kernel right now
Flash speedmod or notecore kernel which are asfe and emmc bug free

OK I've done a bit more reading since I posted and researched, so starting to understand a bit more was a kernel does
So right now I have a standard GalaxyNote ROM 4.0.3 (although I removed two Apps Weather App and Yahoo! Finance)
So if I want to simply change the Kernel, all I have to do is push the volume up button, home key and power and then it will book into the standard CWM and from there choose update from ZIP? and that is all that is needed to update the Kernel?
I was thinking of updating using the latest version of SpeedMod on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072
speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-CWM.zip
This version of ClockWorkMod doesn't have any backup option listed will an option to backup appear when I update the ZIP file?
I also now have Mobile Odin Pro could I use that in anyway to update the Kernel?
Do I need to change my Kernel from stock Kernel if I wish to load a totally new ROM using Mobile Odin Pro?
I was looking at perhaps trying Classic_ROM_V3 .zip which looked pretty good?

Mobile odin can be used to flash stock ROM not custom, you can flash custom kernel in same operation while flashing stock ROM with Mobile odin (by selecting custom kernel for kernel Tab)
Custom ROM will already have safe kernel, though you can change later.

Use mobile odin to flash your new custom kernal (a safe one free of emmc bug) you should then have clockwork recovery instead of stock and you can then flash new roms through said clockwork recovery. Or stay stock with the custom kernal.

Cool .. I used Mobile Odin and the speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar Kernel File .... all went well.
Now I am on Samsung's Stock 4.0.3 ROM
I've backed up this ROM in CWM to the SD Card
I ran some benchmarks before and after the Kernel upgrade - according to all the benchmarks it'snow running slower then before BUT the real world user experience seems faster.
If I were to do a Factory Reset would this Kernel now remain in place?
Also on the website I download the Kernal from (http://touristinparadise.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Samsung Galaxy Note)
It states This version is only for Samsung ICS ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or AOKP ROMS!
Does that mean Original Samsung ICS ROMs or does it also include ROMs which might be based on Samsung ROMs?
Main thing I want to try now is moving to an ICS 4.0.4 ROM so I can use the new Movable Video Feature and perhaps squeeze some more everyday battery life out of my phone.

Yes that is only for samsung galaxy note....it wnt work 4 custom roms......

1. Yes, you can use it as long as you want
2. Which rom are you using?
3. You need to run android 2.3.x at least, because you need CWM 5.x.x.x to flash the latest custom roms
Here a useful thread where you'll find llots of info (How to root, install CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed, flash a stock rom via Odin...and lots of tips )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313363

can you please kindly tell me which rom has a bugless? coz i have tried reading some of the custom roms even outside the forum ., some roms has a bug like camera ,wifi etc. all i need is a custom rom which is based on a stock rom but have changes or tweaks like removed the useless apps. im running on GB 2.3.4 and i want it to upgrade it to higher version but a stock rom with a tweak, because nothing beats a stock rom i guess ^^
