[Q] How can I install a kernel? (please don't kill me)

Hi everybody!
I tried to search everywhere, but I can't find it.
Does anybody know where can I find a tutorial/guide to install a kernel (voodoo if possible) un our SGS flashed with darky's 8.1?
Every info i found is uncomplete or requires certain things I've never done before.
thanks in advance!

Flash .zip(kernel) with clockwork mod recovery like you flashed darky's rom.

Every kernel developer writes installation instructions in first post. Well,
*if you have rooted phone with ClockWorksMode recovery you just download one of CWM zip files of kernel of your choice and go to recovery and install zip file from there.
*If your phone has 2e recovery do the same as above but rename your zip file to update.zip and place it in root of sd card and flash update from recovery
*if your phone has 3e recovery you need to use Odin - download odin version of kernel of your choice, unzip it to get .tar file, add this tar file to PDA field of Odin, start your phone in download mode and flash it from Odin.
You can also use "SGS kernel flasher" from the market. It is simpler (recommended). Use CWM versions of kernels or unpack zImage somewhere.

You do understand that Darky's Rom comes with a kernel (Voodoo Advanced without OC/UV I believe).
You can check it's enabled by enterring recovery mode on your phone by turning it off and then turning it back on with the combination of Vol-down + Home + Power and then the appropriate sub-menu.
If you want to install a new one, download the CWM (ClockWork Mod) version of the kernel and flash it through the same Clockwork Recovery.

three excellent responses, each one better than the other
Thank you, thank you very much !

Sorry to be picky but its vol up, home and power.
Vol down gives you download mode.

Yes, as Zeroundead said, if you already have Darky's ROM, you just reboot into recovery, and enable it.
Darky's Version 8.1 has Speedmod kernel.
Here's a video of enabling the lagfix in version 8.0.

[Q] [i9000] Recovery mode problem

Originally I had 2.2 on my SGS. When Samsung released the update to 2.3 Kies couldnt update my phone. So I applied the recovery mode downgrade from 3e to 2e via Odin and flashed a custom ROM from romkitchen.org
Now I wanted to flash team ICSSGS rc3.1 rom to my phone but when I go to recovery mode all I get is a black screen.
The phone is working though, and pressing the power button boots it up.
So I installed rommanager.apk by Clockworkmod and via it, cwm recovery.
But still the same black screen.
What can I do to get recovery fully operational again?

Usually when you create a ROM from ROM Kitchen you have chosen a kernel. Which kernel you have chosen?
A recommended way: flash a custom kernel (you can DL from "Android Development" zone) via odin. Then follow the instruction from ICSSGS.
Hope I can help you!

Ah yea, I've forgotten to mention that. I've chosen Talon kernel. Can you recommend me one?

You could flash Semaphore kernel, pick the version to match your rom you have currently installed. Once you have Semaphore kernel installed you can follow the instructions to install ICS rom.

I did this now:
1. Return to stock 2.3.3 via Odin
2. Flash root kernel
3. Install CWM recovery
4. Install ICSSGS RC4.1
5. Install devil kernel
Voila
Thanks for the help

[Q][i9000] SlimICS installation, anyone could link me a guide for dummies?

Hi, I'd like to try this rom but the installation instructions on the official site are a bit obscure to me. I never flashed a cooked rom, I just flashed an official samsung rom with Odin months ago. I'm looking for a full guide to flash SlimICS.
Official site guide say this:
■Download latest cm9 nightly or any ICS kernel (odin or cmw flashable), device_x.x.zip and Slim_Common.zip
■Enter CWM Recovery, Wipe data, Format System ( In Mounts and Storage)
■Flash CM9 nightly or any ICS kernel ( via odin or cwm).
■Reboot to recovery.
■Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then Slim_Common.zip.
■Reboot to system, Enjoy.
My primary doubts are:
1) Wich kernel should I download and from where?
2) How do I flash the kernel?
For the other doubts I should have found a guide (is for CM9 flash but i guess the procedure is the same).
EDIT: BTW, wich ICS rom do you think is the best atm: SlimICS, CM9 or AOKP?

Slim ICS includes the kernel.

You can use any ICS kernel. Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795 You need to download *.tar kernel in order to use it with Odin. *.zip ones are for flashing via recovery.
Place all downloaded files in some folder on the internal memory.
Just download latest semaphore kernel from the link above (in tar archive) and flash it via Odin. Put phone in download mode, start odin, place kernel tar into PDA field and hit start. Your device will restart and fall into bootloop. It is because you have flashed kernel for ICS on GB rom. It is ok. Then pull out the battery, inser it again and go directly to the recovery via 3 button combo (VolumeUP+Home+Power). Then wipe all (data/cache/dalvik) and flash the firmware (■Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then Slim_Common.zip.) That's all.
PS: At any time during this process you will be able to reflash your stock rom via download mode and odin.

I love the TiramiSlim 2.0 Rom which already contains Slim and another great Rom. The installation is the same way like Slim but you'll have a nice touch interface during installation which is very user friendly.

Thanks!! Especially to JuggerRUS for the guide, I'll try those roms soon

Question about EXACTLY process to flash roms

First of all, HI guys and sorry for my irregular english.
I read since a long time XDA Forums to prepare me in flash and root methods for my galaxy note.
At now, i'm using this stock rom:
[ICS][4.0.3][Stock][OpenGermany]N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5
+
CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.6-CWM5.tar + SuperSU
but i came from a stock rom: N7000UBKK2 with default kernel KK1 from Samsung and Movistar. and i have only a nandroid backup of my default Samsung/Movistar rom.
I have another gingerbread samsung stock rom, for emergency cases:
N7000UBKK8_N7000WEKK1_N7000PETKK1_HOME.tar.md5
But my point is:
I wish test some roms, before to decide which one use in dual boot system:
- Stock 4.0.4 (LRG or you suggest me LRK or another more recent ?)
- AOKP
- Criskelo
- Chrack
- Paranoid
- Cyanogen 9
And i have ready to use: Odin 1.87, Odin Mobile, SuperSU (if is necesary), Abyss 4.2 (CW/Red) for recovery, Abyss 4.2 CW for odin and CF-Root for LRG (if is necesary i can find one for LRK or another recent)
But i'm confused about how exactly do that. Yes i know there are many... MANY topics about that but, I only need a bit of help guys to understand the exactly process and avoid EMMC BUG...
If i understant correctly, i must follow this method, please correct me if i'm grong:
01 - Check if i'm root and settings are in depuration + unkown sources
02 - Because i'm using an ICS Kernel i need first downgrade to Abyss for continue
03 - Reboot in Recovery and flash Abyss4.2 CW/Red, after "reboot recovery" and make wipes
Which one should i use for this CW or Red Version?
...
But after this i have problems, because i have ever red: before flash a custom rom you need a same base. Then ok i think for use for example CM9, or Paranoid, or Criskelo, I need a 4.0.4 rom then i have a:
[ICS][4.0.4][Stock][OpenGermany]N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5
Ready to flash but...
If a this moment following the previous steps, i'm in recovery of Abyss CW/Red:
Should i reboot using this Abyss kernel in download mode to flash a stock LRG ?
...
Or in another reality, is not needed flash Abyss to flash a stock rom using Odin ?
I wish first test the Stock 4.0.4 before any other custom to make a base point of comparison
...
And after, using 4.0.4 LRG + CF-Root, is safe use install from zip file in recovery to flash any other rom like CM9 for example ? or i need use abyss recovery (before flash it using CR-Root recovery) to flash any other rom (ICS) ?
Again i hope you can help me with these questions, and really sorry is the text is so long but i prefeer to know rightly how to procced before brick my phone, because i still waiting for a JIG (you know, for emergency...)
Tnks to all.

First of All You need to know that there is no need for the same base to flash the ROM.
Second thing You have to use Abyss Redpill 4.2 Original Logo Recovery(It uses GB Kernel) If you are not going to downgrade to GB and want to flash on top of your current ROM
Third Whenever you want to flash CM9/AOKP/AOSP first downgrade to GB(Pre rooted Rom) OR GB then Root it and then flash the rom by going it to CWM recovery.
Fourth thing is Never flash Abyss using PC Odin.
Proper Way to Flash CM9/AOSP/AOKP for a clean install (You will lose data)
Download a prerooted GB Rom from here ===> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Reboot your phone is Download Mode. (Vol Down+Home+Power)
Open Pc Odin on your Pc/Laptop
Connect your phone to PC via USB Cable
A Small Box in Left Upper turns Yellow.It means your phone is recognized by Odin
Now Select GB File under PDA Tab (Do not change any settings)
Start Flash
YOU WILL HAVE A GB ROM ON YOUR PHONE WITH ROOT
Now Go to Recovery
Install Zip from SD Card
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Do All 3 Wipes (Cache/Dalvik/Data)
Reboot System.

you might wanna root first and backup efs before jumping to any rom that is different csc then you previous one.

Tnks to all, at now i'm testing some roms and kernels, looking for a "perfect" mate for my paranoid android (tableted rom), and in my tests i still looking for a decent kernel because (may this is my imagination but...) CF-Root LRG kernel in LRK Rom (Chrack's Rom) consume excessively batery but i will test in an ordinary day because may is not problem from rom, this should be a problem from kernel...
I read before: SpeedMod kernel was developed just for this situation: low batery comsumption + high perfomance...

[Q] Where can I find official rooted rom?

I already have a custom rom installed but I'm going to sell my Note... So I want to make it official but rooted...
I cant find any thread for it. A near official rom I found is CleaNote rom but I want a fully offcial rom like on Samfirmware but rooted.
I dont want to download via samfirmware because then I will have to though whole process of rooting again and then triangle removing mod etc...

its just a one step method for rooting ics these days.
Download the rom of your choice
download philz kernel as per rom
boot into recovery
install zip
done
you have root, and cwm and safe kernel
No triangle, no counter

There is a prerooted gb rom but i dont think there is a prerooted ics cause its not safe to stay stock after you get rooted
So as nokiamodeln91 said,download a stock ics rom and flash philz kernel

Thanks guys!
I hv downloaded the Stock rom from Samfirmware in ZIP format... As my phone is rooted, can I use mobile ODIN to flash that zip and Philz Kernel OR should I use cwm recovery to flash both.... (Im asking ths bec what if the phone reboots immediately after installing rom via cwm.... it wont gimme a chance to install philz after rebooting because stock rom also installs stock kernel)

Use pc odin to install the stock rom and then philz from recovery... Or u can use mobile odin aslo. If u already rooted, mobile odin may give the option to inject su, and u may have root as well after the rom install.
cwm u can't flash stock

You cant use cwm to flash a stock rom
You can use either pc odin or mobile odin to do so
