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,
Since it doesn't seem that note pro P900 will get marshmallow, I am thinking of changing to a custom ROM. I have a few questions since I'm pretty new to this. I have a Note PRO 12.2 SM-P900.
1. Will I lose the S-pen function if I change to a custom ROM?
2. Which ROM is the best and it has to be stable? - as I'm using my tablet for school.
3. Is there a guide how to install a custom ROM?
First off I'm not sure what marshmallow has to do with going to a custom rom in your mind but just so you know, in order for a custom ROM that is based upon TouchWiz to exist there must be a stock ROM available for it. That is to say that if you want a marshmallow based custom ROM that has TouchWiz functionality baked into it then a stock marshmallow ROM needs to be released by Samsung. Just figured I'd make that point clear.
Secondly, technically S-Pen function isn't lost with AOSP based ROMS but the standard baked in functions are. Stuff like, the pop-up menu when you pull out the pen, action memo, smart select, image clipping etc. Those things are in TouchWiz so if they are important to you then stay away from AOSP based ROMS and look for TouchWiz based ones instead.
Third, there isn't a ton of development for the SM-P900 so options are limited as is support.
My suggestion is work on getting custom recovery with root first. If you're successful with that then consider going custom ROM after that.
The thing I said regarding marshmallow was more in the way that since Note Pro is not getting it then I have no reason to stay on the stock rom
Is it possible for you to suggest me a TouchWiz rom then? Since I use my S-pen and must be stable.
What happens if I fail getting a custom recovery with root? Will I brick the device?
Well to be honest I believe there's only one custom lollipop touchwiz based ROM for the SM-P900 right now and that's CivZ's ROM.

As far as where to start, like I said start with the basics which is custom recover (TWRP) and root. The reason root is needed is to retain the custom recovery, otherwise booting into stock system after installing the custom recover can often result in loss of that custom recovery. You need that custom recovery in order to install the custom ROM.
There's a guide to custom recovery and root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...guide-install-official-lollipop-p900-t3154362
Worst case when trying to do the root and custom recovery is having to restore the device using a factory image and Kies so be prepared for that.
Most common issue with doing the custom recovery and root is missing the buttom combinations or a step in the instructions which can lead to boot loops and getting stuck on the boot splash screen. As long as one can get back into download mode though a custom recovery should still be able to be installed. As long as a custom recovery can be installed a custom ROM can be installed on the device. Of course this all assumes the ROM being downloaded is confirmed to be compatible with the device to begin with . . . try to install a wifi only ROM onto an LTE tablet or vice versa . . all bets are off.
Since we already have TWRP, a custom kernel, and obviously root, why aren't there any custom roms for the j700t?
I wish to gain root access on my phone (Sony D2212), but I do not wish to flash a custom ROM like Nitrogen or CM11 because I like the appearance of the stock ROM better. However I have a custom recovery ROM (TWRP) installed.
Can this be done? It it possible to gain root access within the stock ROM?
Hello, I've been trying to get custom rom and custom kernels for SM-T835( gts4llte) Android 10
And how to flash without triggering bootloop?
