Hi I am about to install CM on my galaxy ace, the only instructions I can find are a little old and for an older rom. Do I need a kernal as well as the rom zip? I have cwm installed and the rom zip ready.
Yes u need to flash cm compatible kernel, either the included one or custom eg the fire kernel.

Hello everyone.
I'm using humberos HumberOS-v1.3.0-Americas custom rom (froyo).
I saw humberos post [Jul18][GSM][Kernel][Gingerbread][P1000L/N], and want to know if i can use CwM to install the rom (CM7 Rom - BETA) and flash his kernel, os is it necessary to go back to stock froyo first?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you are running a safe kernel you won't have issues. Make sure that you are in a safe kernel and do a clean install (full wipe)
That is the usual method, but also make sure that you read the rom download instructions just to make sure that you follow the correct instructions. Take into consieration that some AOSP roms fail when flashed from TW based CWM, so you need to flash an CM based kernel first..:good:

How can I know if I run a safe kernel?
which kernel do I exactly need for RocketROM ICS?
RR v12 runs on Notecore which is a safe kernel unless you have applied a different one

Well, that's a strange question.
Why couldn't You?
You just install a new ROM, You don't care about the old one.
PS. You gave a number as a kernel? The kernel is philz....(here's the version)
hi.. this is my first time with rooting and installing custom ROM..i have successfully rooted my note and now i want to flash it with Asylum Omni 4.4.1.. i have downloaded all the necessary files except the kernel. I am confused as to which raw kernel to download..is it r1 or r3?
i am currently running stock JB 4.1.2 and my kernel is 3.0.31-906407. my build is DDLSC indian version. plz help!!!
PS: does doing a backup with cwm backsup the kernel too??
Yes doing a nandroid backup don't see backup the kernel as well.
You can flash any rawr4 sc3b or r3p2. Both has a se Linux compatible recovery.
