[Q] LA4 CF Kernel & CWM Manager Stock ROM Improvements

So, I just got my Gnote a few days ago, rooted it using Zergrush exploit, installed a stock LA4 CF Kernel & Rom.
I wanted to know if I want to stay mostly stock, while keeping the CF Kernel/CWM Manager, but also improve the speed (scrolling/homescreen/animations etc) of my device, what would be the best way of doing that?
I guess the major issue is that I like the idea of keeping CWM manager because it seems so easy to flash newer stock roms (without triangle & increased flash counter.) But a lot of custom roms change out the kernel too, which means that I will lose CWM capabilities, right? Is there a simple mod that I can flash on top of this stock ROM to keep everything as is, but with the speed benefits of a custom ROM?
Flash abyss note 3.3, It will come with the current version of CWM, and it will allow you to speed up your phone by overclocking it. You can also download spare parts app on the phone which has a setting to speed up window transitions and animations. I too enjoy the stock configuration but also wanted things a little faster without all the tweaks that custom roms have. So I use mobile odin to flash my stock firmwares because it gives you an option to flash them with root, cwm, and odin. Once its flashed the version of CWM will be old and not allow you to access CWM, so you will need t ouse odin to flash abyss note 3.3. This will give you stock firmware with just custom kernal to overclock and ise current cwm.

[Q] ICS kernel for LPY

My note has problem with CF-Root Kernal for LPY
after I flash Stock LPY Rom and Root as normal process
i cannot get a Root on my note and all Root App cannot used.
but in recovert mode already change to CWM 5.
How can i fix this problem
# before flash LPY i was come from Rocker 23 and Franco 10 kernal.
just go and download any custom rom like rocket ICS v1, and flash it as stated in the custom ROM OP then you will get back your root access.

basic Kernel question

I am extracting this specific question from my other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855867&referrerid=1918103
1. how can I tell exactly what kernel I am running? does any part of the code "-N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2"
translate into one of the kernel names that is being tossed about here? (speedmod, abyss et al)
2. and wanting to follow flashing instructions (from 2.36 to stock current ics) to a "t", can I flash any recommended kernel over the one I currently have (see above, which is also no longer stock since I already flashed that but forgot its moniker, btw rooted phone) or is there a one-way caveat?
voila, dumb questions I suppose but at least I hope they're precise;
thx

Go to phone setting, about phone, and then you will see kernel version, the last three letters is the kernel your device is running. For example if it is ics kernel lq3 then it is compatible with cf root 5.6 lq3, if you want to root your phone with CWM recovery. For ics you can use custom kernel regardless what version of kernel it is, meaning it is compatible to any kernel version if it is a custom kernel, by flasing a custom kernel using the pc odin you will root your phone and get CWM recovery also at the same time safe from so called ICS SUPER BRICK BUG.

thanks.
could you address my question if the kernel KK9 (shich appears on my settings readout) translates to any of the known kernels ie abyss, speedmod or other?
can I keep this very kernel (N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2) and flash a custom ICS via CVM recovery?

KK9 is a gb rom and has a stock gb kernel. Abyss is a gb custom kernel. Speedmod is a custom kernel also. To get a custom kernel must flash first in pc odin.
To root and get CWM recovery read this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Yes you can flash custom ics rom over it using the CWM recovery, pls read the op in the custom rom for the procedure before flashing any custom rom. By flashing a custom ics rom you will get ics kernel, you will not retain the kk9 which is a gb kernel.

Ota update custom kernel

if there comes an OTA/kies update can i flash it over my note with custom kernel Hydracore or speedmod on stock ICS
OTA will not work on custom kernel as it needs stock recovery to install and probably a non rooted phone. but kies will let you do the upgrade without any issues

root questions

is there must be a custom kernel to gain root
I mean chainfire's auto-root when it comes out will have custom kernel ?
my device is n920C I want to root it without any custom modifications Recovery kernel etc
