[Q] should i must have to change the kernel if i change the ROM?

hi guys,
i wanna ask you senious guys that,should i have to change the kernel each time if i want to change the ROM of my galaxy s II or any kernel will work with any ROM?
kindly assist me in this matter.thanks.
What type of Rom are you trying to flash?
Most custom roms include a kernel so you you will have to refresh back to your preferred kernel.
Or you can open the zip file and replace the kernel of your choice as long as it matches your firmware version, ie GB kernel for a GB rom etc.

any kernel may not work with any ROMs...almost all samsung firmware versions has got its own versions of Kernel.
In SGS2 normaly custom kernels are used for rooting your phone, like CF-root, whcih are made for almost all the samsung firamware matched kernels, you only want to pick the one matching for your ROM.
It is also seen sometimes advised to back up your Kernel, this can be done using a tool from Market called "Ktool", at a worst scenario, when your installed custom kernel giving you a treble you can restore the previous one.
EDIT : you are already on a custom ROM as well as Custom Kernel. both have got their newer versions alredy.
checkrom is now on V6, and Siyah kernel is now on v2.6.14
Well your still on gingerbread and an early kernel and early checkrom. There are many roms and kernels you can try the best for battery life us what works best for you and only you can figure that out with testing.
Try out an ICS Rom if you haven't done so already and there are now custom kernels for that as well.

I meant the kernel that is already included with the rom when you flash it. So just flash the rom and you don't need to install another kernel after it.
Here is a link to the Resurrection rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Hope this helped you
If you flash a rom it replaces the kernel you've been using with that of the rom you're flashing...
Soooo
Eg cm9 + siyah
If you flash a new nightly it'll replace siyah with cm9s kernel so you have to flash siyah each time.
Think that makes sense..!

[Q] Help with new ROM for SGS2

Hello all,
I am a super newbee in this field ( please dont laugh ) ! I apologise if i have failed to see the solution for my queries in other threads
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with the following config:
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband Version : I9100DDLPA
Kernel Version : 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected]#3
Build number : IML74K.XWLP7
I have already rooted the device with the help of posts on xda. I aspire to put a custom ROM of Jelly Bean in my phone. I have certain questions abt it.
1. Can someone suggest me an apt choice of ROM to suit my current build?
2. will i be able to come back to my stock firmware incase of any problem with the custom ROM. If yes, how ?
3. can i partition my ROM and have to Androids running ? Custom ICS and JellyBean ?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
JB ROMs are still in development stages and need some time to get fully baked.
If you want to try one CM is great.
And you can return back to ICS anytime.
To dual boot JB and ICS you need to flash Siyah kernel.
I would suggest you to flash (install) CM9 for few days. Bcoz its better to be using known stable build for regular use. You will get an idea of what to expect of AOSP ROMS and what are their limitations.
Then you can plunge into exciting world of flashing nightlies (less stable) builds.
You can always go back to default samsung roms if CyanogenMod roms dont suite you. There are lot of custom Samsung rom based roms to choose from with very good customizations.
But before you do any flashing of rom, BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM.

[Q] From AOKP rom to Samsung based rom

Hi guys,
I have tried looking for answer to this question but cudnt and gave up in the end.
I currently have GT-I9100 Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.2 [AOKP JB (4.1.2) and want to install Omega v17 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 which i believe is based on samsung XXLSJ.
Do i have to follow certain steps to go from AOKP to samsung based roms or just can just install it directly from recovery.
Thanks.
Avi
Its a great opportunity to learn. Make a backup, flash and try to use it.
The thing is, unless the people who made the ROM dont state explicitly, its really hard to ensure it will work.

Have a look at the OP from the rom-thread. Almost always there are descriptions for how to flash it.
And to make it a little easier: changing roms between AOKP, AOSP or Samsung based roms allways need a full wipe, plus the OP's own recommended steps for flashing.
Sent from the Matrix
Most of the time standard 3 steps would be back up, full-wipe, then flash the new rom + gapps.
In case of any failure, you can still restore the back-up-ed rom.

Quick Dual Boot Question

Hey Guys, Im coming here and well modifying my phone after a long time..I have forgotten few things and just want to reconfirm 2 things about dual booting(as i want to install a new rom side by side). My current kernel is siyah 6.0vb5(the last beta produced for s2). I currently have alliance rom v9 installed which is based on 4.1.2. SO:
1. I wanna dual boot omega rom v24 which is also based on 4.1.2. I can do this dual booting legally right on my siyah kernel version?
2. How does the internal data storage work in case of both the roms? For example, i play temple run on first rom as well as on second rom, so will their save data be saved separately or will be shared?
Thanks for replies in advance
1. You cannot dualboot any jb 412 rom out of the box. It has to be modified but there are modded Roms ready to download. Dorimanx is the kernel for dualbooting jb Roms.
Here you find lots of Roms already prepared:

2. I think they have different data if they dont link to a server.

Not even if my first rom is a custom rom? Alliance rom v9 currently..
Edit: ok i got it, but i jist have 1 question now..For dual booting, should my second rom be dualboot modified or the first rom? or both?
If you want two jb roms both need to be modified since 4.1.2 uses preload where your second rom would be. If you have a 4.2.2 or 4.3 you dont need to mod it since they dont use preload.
In short: if you want alliance as first rom you must download it premodded and install it. Then you install premodded neat as second rom. If you would use cm aokp or pa rom you dont need to mod it. It works as it is.

Ok so u mean to say if i want to install Resurrection remix 4.2.2 as second rom,i can install it as it is right? No need to have either alliance modded or RR moded?
No you cant. Your alliance( IF not modded) is already using preload so you will probably mess up things. There is alliance v9 modded which i used as second rom. Works well. Dont know IF you can get ota downloads though.
I guess you have to backup your data with TB and wipe your current rom(make nandroid first) and install modded alliance. Make sure it works both as first and secrom first since with the thread i linked before. I always use 422 , 4.3 in first and 412 in second, because at first there wasn't 412 for first ROM so it kind of stuck. RR you can flash as it is. No modding needed.

Ota doesn't work on modded alliance rom. Also a good man to talk to would be @Troubadour666 check his links out. Dorimanx 8.xx Imo is best for dualbooting.

There isn't a ''best'' custom ROM here. If u want perfomance, flash CM. U basically flash CWM via stock recovery, and in CWM flash ROMs, kernels etc.

It seems you are new to this forum.
So listen,
There isn't any best rom for any devices. Every developer tries his best to make his rom best. Head over to development section to search for roms.
See features of rom and watch their screens and decide which rom you are gonna flash.
Whatever rom you choose their are instructions given in first post of thread how to flash , what are the bugs, how you can solve some bugs etc etc. So you have to read that. You can't ask everything.
Now about CM,
CM for ace I is not fully stable yet, it has some bugs but they may get fixed in future. Instructions , download links to flash CM is also given in CM thread or in discussion thread.
You can always go back to stock rom ( if anything goes wrong or you don't like any particular rom ) by flashing stock rom with odin.
Important thing,
Whatever you do with your phone is completely depend upon you. You can't blame developers if anything goes wrong.
I hope all your doubts are clear now.

I told you bro,
You can't ask for best rom here. Go to Ace I development section and choose rom which suits and fullfills your needs.
Latest version of stock rom can be found on samfirmware.com
But that doesn't matter. You can flash any version of stock rom. Not much changes comes with latest version.
To know how to flash stock rom go to General section and refer stickied threads. You can download everything from there. Instructions also given there. You have to search little bit bro. I can't provide all links. I hope you understand.
