[Q] Which Kernel for which Custom Rom ?

Previously I owned a rooted Xperia arc. At that time, almost all custom roms used to mention supporting kernels. But here in Z1 development, I found that Custom Roms don't mention whether they run on stock kernel or DEV Kernel.
I want to know it because if custom roms are running on stock, then I skip Unlocking the boot-loader. If they running on DEV kernels, how ll I know which kernel for which rom ??

[INFO]WARNING: Android 5.0 Bootloader and Kitkat Compatibility

Android 5.0 (Lollipop) Bootloader and KitKat Compatibility​
Everyone wants Lollipop, however it is worth considering some of the possible consequences of upgrading via OTA update.​
Bootloader:
A new Bootloader (BL) will almost certainly be included in the OTA update. It is also very likely no KitKat Kernel, stock or custom will be able to boot properly with the 5.0 BL. Perhaps the Kernel DEVs can find a workaround.
Root: (ETA: Unknown)
It may take some time to gain root access on Lolipop as on other devices this has required a custom Kernel. A custom kernel itself may require kernel sources to be released - something that has taken weeks / months in the past.
Xposed Framework:
Developer has said he will wait for CyanogenMod based on Lollipop before properly starting development of an ART version of Xposed. CM12 may take a few weeks to release. Expect to do without Xposed for at least a month, probably longer since root is also required (see above.)
Custom Recovery:
This has not been an issue before, but it is always possible a new Bootloader could break compatibility with existing Custom Recoveries. Obviously, you would not be able to restore a CWM / TWRP backup without a functional custom recovery; but even then, it is unlikely you will be able to boot your KitKat backup.
Custom ROMs:
This is another area that could be affected by a new Bootloader. It is unknown if existing custom ROMs will require new Kernels / system changes in order to work with the new BL - something that could take days, weeks or months.
Performance:
Currently the performance difference between KitKat and Lollipop is unknown. If the first release of Lollipop for Android One has performance issues, you may be unable to revert back to stock KitKat.​Possible solution:
Wait for a flashable zip [NOT OTA Update zip] of Stock Android One Lollipop ROM - this would mean your Bootloader remains at it's current version and potentially allowing you to change 'back and forth' between Stock KitKat and Stock Lollipop. However, it is currently unknown if the newer BL is a requirement for Android 5.0 Kernels.
This is taken from the Moto G thread and all credits goes to @lost101.The sole motive of this is to create awareness about the new bootloader included in 5.0

Thanks For The Info @DC07 :highfive:

Thanks For The Information Bruda !!

This thing is only for device like motorola, samsung etc.. As I never saw same thing for nexus.. Motorola does not allow to downgrade so they update bootloader in every android version update.. I dont think it will be same for sprout

Nope. The bootloader was updated on my nexus 7 flo for the 4.4.2 OTA. Since this update is much bigger I think we'll have a bootloader update too.

Recommendation? Daily driver ROM

Hi Z3C fans,
got this great phone some days ago. I successfully rooted it with this howto. After root i flashed this Debloated ROM .
I dont like the Sony Themed Stock rom. What is the best daily driver ROM? CM 11 is not avaible for z3c, right? Or should i just wait some time?
PS:
Do i need to unlock the bootloader, to flash CM12? Haven't figured out...

Don't post questions in General section, there is a Q&A section for a reason.
If you don't like the Sony Themed Stock Rom, I guess based on the looks, why don't you try different themes? There are so many things that you can change.
For CM you need to unlock your BL because it uses another kernel.

Need quick advice on ROM choice

Hello!
Sprint Note 5 stock original 5.1.1. I need to put custom recovery and root. I know how to do that. I have been away from the scene for a while. Not since CM.
Should I update the OS OTA then root and ROM? Or can I just go from my current 5.1.1?
I need a stable ROM that has wifi tether, and no bloatware.
Can anyone suggest a ROM and a Kernel to Odin for my root?
I have been reading and watching a lot of YouTube but all the rom choice's have my head spinning.
Thanks!!
Max

[Wrong place for this Thread]
- You can go from Android 5.1.1 to 7.0 without any upgrades done befor but BL and CP have to be upgraded.
Flash Recovery and than ROM Kernel etc. ( Look at Tutorials if you dont know how to )
