Hey guys I'm just wondering if I get the latest siyah kernel on my phone if it would work. The jellybam stock kernel isn't the best battery life for my phone so would this kernel even help with this?

It is very important to read about the whatever it is you are about to flash and know more about your device. If you have read more into siyah you would know that it is an i9300 kernel which is the international S3 you have a i535 device which is the US S3. That kernel is optimized for the quad core processor that the i9300 has while all US versions of the Galaxy S 3 have a duo core processor. I am quite sure that wherever you got info on siyah mentioned what I just pointed out.
Thanks! That probably just saved my phone.... And it was just a thought because I asked my uncle what kernel he used and he said siyah so I didn't really even occur to me that not everything is universal... Do you know of any good kernels that would work on my device?
Well that depends on whether you have a Touchwiz or a AOSP rom. Pretty much all of them work like it suppose to. Since jellybam is an AOSP rom BMS works well.
Ok thanks... I didn't know whether jellybam was aosp or not and I didn't want to start blinding flashing kernels.. that cleared things up, thank you

I am rooted and unlocked and was hoping someone could offer an opinion on which kernel would be best to run with stock JB rom. I would like the option to OC and as far as I can tell there are 2 main kernels; KToonsez and Leankernel. Are there any more? Either way, which would be most highly recommended? I realize what one thinks works best might not be the case for another, but I am open to suggestions. I also found the Siyah kernel but I think it only works on international versions.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
There is another TW JB kernel in the original development section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063058. There is also Faux kernel for TW JB here:http://faux.androidro.ms/d2tmo/beta/d2tmoatt-faux123-kernel-tw-015b03.zip. Here is the homepage for it: https://plus.google.com/u/0/109078966818501160423/posts/ahiHu35k2p5, and the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785466. It is supposed to work fine on Verizon. I haven't used any of them to be able to offer any experiences.

Really depends on what your looking to do with your phone... AOKP, Cyanogen, Paranoid android... Then your going to want a kernel to back it up. I personally use Franco nightlies but thats just what I like, you'll have to experiment with dozens of them to find whats best. Obviously if you don't already have CWM or TWRP installed you'll want to do that and make your life so much easier. I haven't checked to see if Paranoid android has released an s3 specific Rom but im using version 3+ on my galaxy nexus with franco kernel r364 right now and its fantastic. Do a quick search for it on here, Loads of customization.
Title says it all really, i'm trying to find a stock like ROM (with all the stock features) but with an OC'd kernel for the GPU and CPU.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would help a lot - looking at all the threads that exist for custom ROM's and kernels is overwhelming for a beginner.
Thanks.

i've seen that one, but it says you need 4.1.1. the latest for my tablet is 4.0.3 according to KIES.
also its for the 10.1" model, is that compatible?

nope that isn't , my bad, don't try
i guess i should clarify the question better:
my 7" 3110 has 4.0.3 as its stock ROM, kies says nothing newer out there. Thats whats making it harder to find a 'stock' OC'd kernel/ROM for it
since i cant find anything, i'll assume it doesnt exist.
will just go to the CM nightlies and deal with whatever official samsung apps i lose.
just wanted to let people know that hte latest CM10.1 nightly is working well, with this kernel

Hi guys. I've been following both the android and original android development sections of the OPO forum and have found no kernel that can overclock the OnePlus One running stock (rooted and BL unlocked) CM11s.
So, my question is very simple: is there any kernel that overclocks CM11s? (Yes, i know it is plenty fast already, the only purpose i have for it is bragging rights at the bar TBFH and to see how far it can go)
There is currently no custom kernel with overclocking features that will boot on CM11S.
If you really want it then you can go and flash a custom ROM and flash a kernel such as ak kernel which does have overclocking up to 2880MHz.
Do not flash ak kernel while on 11S, your phone will not boot.

Thank you for you answer. Yes, I realize it wont boot on CM11S. infact, that is the first warning you read upon seeing the kernel.
I guess I will have to wait, since I think CM11S is by far the best ROM for the OnePlus... I had already installed 5 different roms on it and flashed furnace kernel only to see no difference in benchmarks (i think it's because it throttles, even though i stuck it in the cooler)

Benchmarks mean absolutely nothing. Its all about day-to-day performance. Custom ROMs are better in my opinion because currently on 11S there are numerous crucial bugs that are affecting the phone from being used. Just to name some,
- In-call audio volume fixed.
- Some workarounds on the touchscreen problem.
... the list goes on and on but I don't feel like explaining all of them but custom ROMs offer a lot more features than what stock has to offer plus they give you a sneak preview of whats to come in the next OTA without having to wait for it.
The decision is up to you, they're all free after all. Thats the joy of custom ROMs and kernels
Hey xda~ :laugh: noobynoob here and I got a few questions about overclocking, here we go:
1. Is it safe?
Just bought a Note 2 N7100 and got it in a bootloop [scared me senseless, thank god i fixed it]
2. Kernels?
Um what are kernels and what do they differ?
3.Are all kernels for overclocking compatible for my device/rom?:fingers-crossed:
Note 2 N7100 with Dr.Ketan's Custom Rom v10.0 android version 4.4.2 (I currently have my eyes on this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001838)
4.What kernel do you guys recommend (in case this one isnt compatible or if you just know a better one):victory:
I'm open to suggestions, I just want whats best for my phone
5.If something goes wrong flashing the kernel is there a chance I get bricked/stuck in a bootloop?
already messed up once when trying to flash my custom rom, im afraid itll happen again
ThanQ :laugh:

The kernel, in the simplest terms, is the piece of software in the operating system that tells the OS how to use the hardware.
Custom kernels typically take the stock kernel and modify the settings, and/or add features and setting parameters (often ported from other custom kernels).

I don't know. It's your responsibility to make sure it's compatible. I know Samsung makes many different versions of their Notes and Galaxy XS models (for different carriers, different regions of the world, etc), so a kernel for one version of the Note 2 might not work with your Note 2.
Further, just like it is with computer processors, not all are created equal. After manufacturing, processors are tested sorted into "bins" (literally) according to how well they work. Typically processors are all underclocked below their potential to some degree. That way they're not maxed out and overheating won't be a problem. Since they're underclocked, that means they can be overclocked to their true potential, but how far is a roll of the dice. One guy's Note 2 might have a processor from a higher bin and stably overclockable to 1.9GHz. Or you might have gotten one from a lower bin, and all you can OC it to is 1.7GHz. OC'ing too far will cause glitches and crashes.

I can't help you with that. It's best that you just read up on the kernel(s) you want to try, and by "read", I mean start from the first post, and read every post until you've read them all. That way you know about possible problems and how to sort them out if you encounter them.

If you have a custom ROM, that means you have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc). From within the recovery you can do what's called a nandroid backup. It probably won't be labeled as "nandroid" (even though that's what we call it), but just a backup. This creates an "image" of your phone as it is when you run the backup. Store it on your SD card or PC (or both). If something goes wrong, you should still be able to reboot into recovery and restore your backup. Or, if you have a copy of your current kernel (custom ROMs sometimes have their own kernels, and might be available to download), you can just reflash the old kernel in recovery.

hmmm I guess ill need to read up more, I read on the kernels page something about needing a touchwiz based rom? what does that mean and how do I tell if my rom is tocuh based? As for that backup idea, that seems pretty useful, im gonna do that right now

TouchWiz is what Samsung calls its interfaces.
