[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.

[Q] LPF & LPY Kernels for ICS

I thought I read that installing the LPY Kernel you might risk not being able to reinstall another ROM if you want to change back.
Is the LPF safer, or is there still an issue with it, also? Did I misread that warning about the LPY kernel?
Thanks!

You are able to revert to GB from both those kernels/Roms. However,
they are not safe. There's been reports of superbricks on both those
versions.
The only safe things for now are
1. Gingerbread Roms
2. CM9-based ICS Roms (official Xplod's CM9, Asylum, Paranoid and MIUI).
However, CM9 Roms don't have TW framework and some of the TW apps
are not included.

A question from a Samsung beginner. What does LPY and LPF mean ?
Thank you

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

[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.

Flashing a custom rom on International Note

Hi guys,
I was a bit confused about flashing and many questions stormed my mind.
Ok my current situation is like this --> I have a rooted galaxy note.
I am on stock ICS 4.0.4
I have kingdroid v3.0 and cynogenmod 9 with me.
I know basics of flashing and will be able to flash them.
My question is that,
Is kingdroid rom safe from the emmc chip bug?
Which method is safer- flashing through ext storage or through odin?
If kingdroid is unsafe, then is it really worth flashing CM9?
Thank you in advance.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

Kingdroid is based on CM/AOSP right ?
In order to flash that you need to be on GingerBread, GB is safe from the emmc bug so you wont have any issues.
flashing through CWM or ODIN are at the same safe / risk level, Theres a chance you can brick your phone using either.
However, You will only get the brickbug if you are on a Stock ICS kernel, You shouldnt encounter this as you will be flashing from GB.
Just follow the instructions on the ROM thread and you will be fine.

I agree with the azzle.
Steps:
-Dowgrade to GB
-Flash the abyss kernel [which will also "install" CWM]
-Wipe and flash a rom...
-\0/
I dont know anything bout this Kingstuff, but CM9 is great, or paranoid rom if you want the tablet/hybrid mode stuff.

Downgrade to GB KL3 or anything before it...

Thank you guys...that was helpful...as the CM9 dev has said that it may contain lots of bugs i m thinking of some other rom....the thing i wanted kingdroid for is its SGS 3 apps and live wallpapers!! Anyone has any suggestions for any good roms...i want a good interface and a kernal which supports OCing.
