Firstly if there is already a thread on kernel flashing I'm sorry but I couldn't find it as i am new to xda forums and could you kindly leave a link to that post ? If not, I have recently a few months back rooted my gs3 i9300 with cm10.2 (just recently flashed ) and since I'm a heavy user for games on my phone I tend to drain my battery a lot and I noticed that my phone kept getting hot (40+ degrees) and was thinking of flashing a kernel. Any thoughts and precautions on flashing a kernel and how do I flash one ?

Stick with stock on cm10.2 mate. best bet.
I9100/I9300
Kernel is just a boot.img and when you flash one, it replaces the previous one. Roms all include a kernel so if you flash a kernel you don't like, reflash the rom to get its kernel back.
More info in "understanding the basics before rooting" which can be found by following the link in my signature to general > sticky roll-up

Nothing in particular's bad w/r/t the stock ROM. It just isn't most people's cup of tea. Chip's ROM is pretty cool, though I'm limited in experience (onyl stock, Eryigit, and Chip's ROMs, to date) What I like about Chip's ROM is that it's up to date and is constantly in development, the style of it (ICS-theme), and that most of the bloatware's been removed. It's very operational and customizable. Plus, many of the "hacks" that he's introduced via init.d or elsewhere (courtesy of St. Matis; I've added a few of my own and deleted a few). He's edited the framework (or gathered it from another source) to get rid of that pesky "Cell Standby" thing that shows up as a battery drain (functionally irrelevant, but annoying nonetheless) and included a number of apps as stock that many here would install anyway. Look at the thread yourself and check its features

Disinstall all driver, make a clean install of the USB driver 1.5.6, install ODIN 1.8 and thats all...You have all you need to write a custom kernel from the stock one.
In Downolad mode the player is visible just from ODIN...i remember...
Otherwise, after installing the c.kernel, from the device recovery you can do all (c.rom-stock-kernel.zip addon).

u have very less or even outdated rooting option on GB, better to upgrade ur phone to stock ICS v4.0.3 (dwnld the stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware pertained to ur region on www.sammobile.com and flash the same using 'ODIN'.
After successfull flash and booting of ICS on ur phone, u can use Siyah kernel( .tar file for ODIN) to root ur phone by flashing the same vide ODIN
U might have corrupted ur install. If there is no VERY important data, i would recommend you to wipe data/cache and download a new STOCK rom and install using odin hope this helps. P.S. Only use odin and stock rom it has less chances of bricking the phone.

I personally think it's quite weird you don't press the thanks button for TheATHEiST, but when you get an answer you like you actually do. These all are the basic questions when it comes to rooting and flashing etc., and you clearly didn't seem to take the effort to read and search for yourself.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately all the links say "Database error". And attempt after attempt on all 3 options, Framaroot is still being stubborn.
if you are using a stock rom you can re flash it by using Mobile Odin Pro. it is in the play store for about $6 . make sure to tick the option for Everoot. this will install the rom pre-rooted. you may want to back up efs folder before flashing anything . Best of luck.
nevermind I forgot you need root to use it. sorry
Framaroot should work if you flash an older unpatched build but that could be risky.

I learned staying away from mg4 the hard way. I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly to a stock rom only to find that I dug my own grave as I previously had an mg4, so I had to flash back to it. And I'm not sure what I've flashed via recovery, I may have but I just don't remember.
Edit: and on a side note, a rom is different from firmware right? Since I got into the whole imei problem I forgot what goes where and what flashes what, it shook me up.

if you are on MG4 firmware or rom. you will most likely lose imei if you flash any previous modem. I would back up efs folder going forward. probably best to stick to MG4 based builds for now .there are some custom roms with the MG4 base in the android development threads .since that is a newer build than most. that explains why it has been patched. why framaroot and cf root are not working. There is a prerooted stock firmware for MG4 if I find it p will share the link

You won't need to wipe data if you're flashing the same ROM but yes, you should always backup. Always take a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING. Also think about using Titanium backup for individual apps.
