How to flash this?
how to flash this kernel on stock unrooted 7.1.1?
and what's new on this for example it is compatible with AOD?

@nikos7hellas That is kernel SOURCE released by SAMSUNG for the J510. You need to compile it before you can flash it.
If you don't modify it it would be the same as the kernel that comes with STOCK Samsung ROM.

[Q] Building ROM with official kernel/device

Hi,
I have a moto E and want to build a custom ROM. But I'm new in building the ROM.
I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762685. But I wasn't sure
where to put the device/kernel/vendor source. Should I put it the root of ASOP tree?
Is there are more detailed guide in the building?
Also, I managed to build the official kernel sources https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC
into a zImage file. How can I flash it to the stock ROM?
Thank you!

How to build pre-rooted ROM?

My phone is Samsung J1 (2016). There is no custom recovery for this model so far.
I never built Android or recovery from source, but I can compile kernel and repack ROM.
What should be modified to achieve pre-rooted ROM?

Do I need to update kernal with custom ROM?

I am currently on stock MIUI but I came from a Nexus and prefer stock android. The phone is on MIUI 9 which is based on Android 7.0. Am I right in thinking that the kernal I am currently using will only work with a ROM based on android 7.0? If I pick a 8.0 ROM can I use my existing stock kernal or do I need to update the kernal?
I fancy moving to LineageOS and I see I can pick LineageOS 14.1 (based on android 7.0) or LineageOS 15 (based on android 8.0).
Thanks.
Every custom rom including miui, have their own kernel source, you need not worry about the kernel used in a particular rom, because they are not cross supported. Miui's kernel is not supported by lineage and lineage's kernel is not supported by miui. Only custom kernel formed by merged source code support both of em. What exactly is your purpose?
Ahh so each custom rom also includes a new kernel, I hadnt realised that.
I havent rooted a phone since my ZTE Blade about 7 years ago, since then I have had Nexus phones and havent needed to change anything. I did update kernel then and my phone signal suffered so I wanted to avoid updating my kernel. I understand that the kernel contains the 'drivers' for all the components in the phone and I didnt fancy messing with them but seems I have to.....
Thanks for your input...

Kernel source modification for different android versions

I have the kernel source for JellyBean 4.2.2 that boots cyanogenmod 10 and other jellybean ROMS. But when I use that kernel for Kitkat like Cyanogenmod 11 that doesn't work.
To make sure the problem is in the kernel I packed the cm11 boot.img with the jellybean kernel and it didn't boot.
So my question is what modifications does the source need for a newer android version ?
I posted it many times found no answer .
