Well im a newb how do i install a custom kernel without losing files cuz i wanna install a rom that was a cm 11 port
Hi,
You flash roms and kernels from a custom recovery, like twrp or CWM. Also, there's usually instructions for flashing in most rom and kernel threads.
I can't direct you anywhere without knowing your device make and model number.
Though I've answered your questions. ?
Good luck!

Hi y'all
Im a noob at this root and custom rom flash stuff but i did do the Casual root from beanstown which did root my device, and installed the team boot recovery my question is where do i get custom roms from and how do i install them and what is clockwork mod and can i use roms that say they require cwm?
First off you didn't mention if you have unlocked the bootloader which what Casual also can do and is required to flash anything through the custom recovery. Secondly CWM is also a custom recovery which you already have one in TWRP. There two sections of custom roms this one Android Development and this one Original Android Development . All rom threads have all the info you need including how to install the rom.
The best advice I would give you is to familiarize yourself with everything in the general and development threads here for your device.. Spend 2 or more weeks reading and learning. Read every thing, if you have questions search the threads for the answers using search function. Once you learn and understand it all it will make sense.

What i read about the casual root was that it unlocks bootloader... Is there a certain way or method i could use to figure out if my bootloader is unlocked im use to the iphone so the android system is all greek to me
First, apologies for asking another "how to flash" , like the various existing threads. I had already hard bricked the same tab once, don't want it to happen again. I was able to get a used motherboard for this tab and got it to work. Currently on 4.2.1, build no. JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.31-20130823
I really would like some one who has the same tab as mine, to give me a step by step guide ( or point me to an existing link ) on how to flash recovery ( cwm or twrp, what version, fast-boot method or via rom manager, goo manager? etc ) after unlocking the boot-loader, and then flashing the custom ROM, installing the kernel. Looking to install either Omni ROM or CM11.

Anyone?
i finally got my phone rooted and bootloader unlocked. Now i wanted to get started with installing custom roms.
Some questions i have are:
What kernel to use for roms like Glade 2.0 or any other android 5.0+ roms . why can i not use the stock kernel
Which is the fastest ,cleanest available rom for this device.
Is recovery already present in all kernels.
IMPORTANT:If i install an ota from sony after unlocking my phone's bootloader, will it brick my phone permanently..?

1. Stock kernel is for Jellybean 4.2. Therefore you cannot use it for 5.0.
The roms already have the kernels , you just need something to flash these roms. Go to the development section and download the one click recovery installer app. Use philz touch recovery from that.
2. All these roms have their own advantages and limitations. It would be better if you read the reviews/bug reports in their threads. You'll get a better idea.
3. If you're talking about the above roms, then yes. They already have recoveries.

Hello..
I think ist better for you to install a custom recovery frist
after that you can make a nandroid backup using the custom recovery...this is important..because you will messed up..it will event android guru messed up their device once a whaile..
after you have the nandroid backup..you can flash any custom ROM for your devices..to find a devices please use the search bar at the top..
after you gain enough knowlage to build a custom ROM you can compile it for your devices..but for starter I highly recommend you to use any custom ROM for your device first

Thanks for your reply brother.
I have the Samsung model number gt-p7500R. It's gotten very very slow and I can't update past android 4.0.4. I can't even get most apps because of the Android version. How can I update to a newer android version and maybe help the speed a bit?
Find a Custom Recovery ( like CWM and /or TWRP ) and find a Custom Rom, both suitable to the phone.
Once both found, flash the Custom Recovery and if successful then from within the Custom Recovery flash the Custom ROM.

I'm pretty new and don't know how to do what you suggested. Is there a forum post with step by step instructions?
