[Q] Why not flashing ROM using update.zip??

Maybe it's a alraedy posted question but didn't find.
Since i'm usong android saw that all ROM are flashed using update.zip, why are we still usong odin or system.img to flash ROM??
Thx in advance

Because its less convenient. Well kinda. If you use update.zip to flash oxygen rom/cyanogen/miui, for me I don't need to have a specific rom, just any gb rom. But if you want a custom rom, you need to have the base, for example dxkp99 base or xxkpq base in my case before flashing the rom.

General quick question about ROM/KERNAL

I have ICS, and i was just wondering what would happen if i installed a gingerbread ROM? and just another question with kernals, if i download a kernal are some only for ICS and some only for GB?
thankyou.

Well you can flash Gingerbread rom and kernel and you will no longer have ICS. If you wanna go back to ICS just flash any ICS rom and Kernel you will be good.

There are usually dependencies between kernEL and non kernEL code - non kernEl code is referred to as "userspace"... Typically you can't just swap a kernel meant for one version of android with another, unless the manufacturer has done a great job of abstraction. Not so in the case of most phones.

thankyou both for your replies

What is the best root/kernel for XXKPQ?

Hello.
i have XXKPQ and I would like to install a custom kernel and root. I don't know which version is best.
Root enough to do this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987169
Because I have a tutorial here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056

Sorry for my bad english.

now I'm using xda bam s kernel, its great, including root (cf-root version)
if you want performance, use vurrut v9 with 1300 overclock stable, if you want battery will use
a bam or uc

hello. i have MIUI 10.5 and it is great. but after install MIUI 10.5 , i wanted to install UtterChaos V12 (newest) and Samsung does not turn on. I went back to the previous state. Does UtterChaos not work with XXKPU and Miui ?

no worries ur english is enough to make me understand wat u want to ask..
ur on KPU..so dont USE the Roms mentioned above.. vurrut has a version for kpq
yup...
go to thread Clean KPU rom By lueitsiyo its a fast and sleek rom.. and thn u hv Bilma rom too both meant for kpu
Try any one f thm
Or u can Flash to XXKPQ and hv LOADS of options available.!

So XXKPQ is better i will return to XXKPQ. I did not know that the Custom Roms are under the specific stock roms. and Custom Rom is enough? or yet you recommend any MODs ?

In every custom rom thread you can see if its based on kpq or kpu etc. Also, custom roms already include tweaks and scripts and mods to make the phone snappier, so no need for extra mods. Kpq would be better to someone who loves Modding and flashing his phone because kpu does not have enough mods and roms meant for it. However if you're on kpu I really recommend cleankpu

Yes XXKPQ is better for modding..
But if you want the most recent rom, you can try XXKPU or DDKP3.

cf-root version

what?

[Q] Gingerbread to ICS

Quick question. I bought this phone recently and it came with valhalla final pre-installed on it. I wanna flash an ICS based rom and I was just wondering if I can flash it coming from valhalla final or do I have to go back to stock in order to flash an ICS rom. I'm only asking since I read that some roms are BML and MTD and I'm a bit confused

You need to flash AntonX's Basic with a Twist kernel or bhundven's Blastoff kernel to flash ICS. Valhalla Final's version of CWM with not flash ICS properly.

About your question, i got running on my lg thrive, which is identical in hardware to the lg phoenix; gingersnap, gingerdx, gtr, cyanogen mod 7.2,, only that ones...
Currently joban's kernel is only supported in gingerbread, even in those roms is kind of unstable...
Now, we have a new kernel from the great developer DJnoXd, it supports Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jellybean... But if you are only interested in Gingerbread, tell me and i will pm you a better method to get roms

DJnoXd kernel will work on GB also. Arjen has a kernel that will work on GB too.
joban kernel is old base band... so any p500 rom that is obb will work.

can you give me the link to the rom and kernel your useing
Do I flash the rom then the kernel right after or do I flash the rom, boot up the phone then go back into recovery to flash the kernel

Just figured out djnoxd kernel no good for gb. Found in original development here on xda
Arjens is found at androidcentral under Phoenix / thrive thread
Sorry no links .. on phone.
Flash rom. Reboot recovery. Flash kernel. Recamend full boot. Then flash gapps. But can flash gapps after kernel

iirc I just read the new kernel runs on the p500/505/509, I don't know which one is the phoenix tho
