[Q] ICS Custom Kernel?

Are there any good custom kernels that work on ICS (touchwiz) roms? I tried the lp6 rooted kernel but it was too battery inefficient imo. Franco.kernel didn't work and i had to do a nandroid restore. And SpeedyMod is GB only for sure. I'm running tmt 1.1 ROM at the moment and would like a good kernel to go with it...any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Dafuq kernel is totally custom.

=D thanks ill check it out

I don't think he was trying to be mean. Dafuq is the only custom ICS kernel for touchWiz roms currently. More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617981

Thanks. Initial search didn't show any results so i assumed the obvious lol my bad.

I'm trying to flash abyssnote 4.2 custom redpill kernel to my note. It has been "install from sd card complete" state for about 30minutes now and numbers keep running under the screen (65000 at the moment). Is this normal?
I have Cassie's xtraliterom + lp6 modem + abyssnote 4.2 custom kernel in my Note and i'm trying to flash in Stunner ICS. But i have this problem going on with abyss 4.2 kernel installation.
I'm using this installation guide:
http://team-passion.com/index.php/roms/galaxy-note/13-ics-stunner-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000
Edit:
It went back to CWMR when i pressed back button. I flashed speedmod kernel back and now i'm breathing again. I don't know what went wrong.

Custom kernel for stock ICS?

Any plans on an ICS kernel for stock sammy roms without the superbrick bug?
Im not a developer myself but i would love the idea to use the stock ICS rom without risking to brick my phone while wiping/deleting big files.

Franco is testing his first custom ICS kernel as we speak.

can i install custom kernel on stock ics (rooted)?

franco kernel for ICS is available here, current release is r5, although some people have wifi problems with it, so it might be safer to use r4 for a while, running it now on stock LQ2, works great

XXLQ2 safe to flash CM9?

Ok im so sorry if this has been covered.. I bet it has but i cant find it. When i got the phone i updated to XXLQ2 i now want to get on cm9 with stock ics. Is it safe on my kernel? If not what is the best/safe way to flash back to a 2.3 rooted rom?
Thanks guys!

I can answer your question partially. The advised method to go to CM9 from amy ICS ROM is to go to a stock GB ROM first. Hopefully someone will better answer your question, and you're right that it has been covered several times in the CM9 thread.

NO!!
All released ICS Firmwares have the Brick Bug.
I think it's enough to flash a safe Kernel (like Speedmod) before flashing cm9

Thanks. flash speedrom.

[Q] Is it safe to flash a gb cf root kernel on ics?

Hey Guys! Just needed a bit of help. Is it safe to flash a gn cf root kernel on stock or custom ICS rom?? Like, will I be safe from the superbrick bug if I flash a gb kernel over an ICS one? Any Help will be appreciated! Thanx in advance!
P.S I am sorry if the question is asked before..

its hit and miss really, Some users report that CF root kernel is safe, others say its not.
One kernel confirmed to be safe is Abyss
They have one for GB and one for ICS

So if I flash Abyss Note kernel, I am safe from the superbrick bug? But won't the device be already damaged if I flash stock ICS? And also if I use factory reset from recovery or other superbrick commands, will my device get damaged? Sorry for the Q's!

If you flash an Abyss GB kernel for stock ICS (or ICS at all) it won't boot (or give a lot of errors IF it does).
Just use Speedmod or Franco kernels for stock ICS. They are safe.

You are never completely safe from the superbrick, But with abyss, and as said above speedmod (what i use) the command that causes the brick is disabled, So providing you only ever do a full wipe on a KNOWN SAFE KERNEL you will be fine.
There are a few safe kernels now, Im unsure of them all as ive only ever used speedmod & abyss, Feel free to use another one, Just be sure to check if its safe or not.
The bug is in the chip, But the command to trigger the bug is in the ICS kernel, Hence why GB is the ultimate safe option.

Thank you very much guys! I guess that I'll stay on GB till a stable ICS comes out!I really wanted to try the cool mods for ICS! But are you sure that if I use speedmod Wiping or Restoring won't brick my note? :laugh:

Well no can can confirm 100% that you wont get a brick, Although the chances of that happening on a safe kernel is minimal.
As with all modding you do it at your own risk, I can confirm i have successfully done a full wipe in CWM using both SpeedMod and Abyss kernel, So have 100's of other users too ! So you should be fine
I had doubts at first, So i upgraded to ICS via ODIN without wiping, never had any issues.

Hey...What if I flash a gingerbread cf root kernel on ICS??

Abyss kernel and CM9 ROM
thanks a lot every one.... a lot of info floating around...
but there a re a few questions im not sure about.... i hope if you can help answer them....
1. i checked my GN ICS 4.0.3 rooted stock and it has the chipset known to have emmc bug issue.. so now if I flash using the abyss kernel it should be fine. But do i need to flash it with a ICS ROM only or can I flash it with a pre rooted GB ROM as well?
2. I understand there are two versions of Abyss Kernel. One for ICS and one for GB. Which do i install if i plan to move to GB from ICS official stock? and vice-versa?
3. Is it safe to directly move from rooted stock ICS 4.0.3 to CM9? using Abyss kernel?
4. Just one las thing. When we flash a kernel like Abyss to ensure non bricking, does it mean that the new ROM would use the same kernel (Abyss) ? or would it install its own kernel? For example if i flash Abyss and then flash CM9 ROM, will CM9 use Abyss as the system kernel or will it install its own kernel?
Sorry for asking soo many dumb questions, but i want to get my facts right before i flash.
Thanks in advance.

azzle, are you sure there is an abyss kernel for ics too ? everyone says abyss is meant for GB only ? where is the original thread please ?

here you go...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
read all on that thread bud before you do some actions.

Abyss is a gb kernel, it's useful for doing quick flashing under ics as it's already rooted with cwm baked in. But yeah, I you can't run a ics rom under abyss, but you can install abyss, run wipes, then install ics rom and kernel all in one.

[q] safe kernel for xxlq2 ics

Hi Friends,
I flashed my SGN N7000 with stock ICS rom XXLQ2. I noticed in the xda forum stock ICS rom has a e_mmc fault and can be cause heard brick.
Could anyone suggest me a safe kernel which I can full wipe/ reset facrory and all other recovery options without any fear.
I'm looking forward your earlier response since me new to this android..
Kind Regards

Speedmod or Abyss are known to be safe.

Any 2.3.5 kernel is safe.
Go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Download a GB 2.3.5 kernel, and you got yourself a brand new phone. Did the same 2 days ago to go to Paranoid Android ROM v0.4. Can recommend this, I'm very happy with it.

To do this check out this tutorial by me here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5K5Wm_201Y&feature=plcp

I can recommend the Goku Kernel. It's based on Speedmod but comes with a few extras like additional cpu governors... And even the latest beta is stable. What's more funky81 is actively developing his kernel.
By the way because it's based on Speedmod the emmc bug is fixed or more precisely circumvented.
