This may help if you had troubling which Custom ROMs you wanna install for you device. Here some of my experiences on each OS version ROMs that i have tested. Check down below on which Custom ROMs that i have tested.
Android 2.3.6 = Stock, fast from my experience in 2012.
Android 4.1.2 = Stock, Lags and freezing. [because of TouchWiz bloatwares]
Android 4.2.2 = Haven't tried it.
Android 4.3.1 = Haven't tried it.
Android 4.4.4 = Fast and smooth. *Recommended for daily use
Android 5.1.1 = Lags and unusable. *Older builds
Android 6.0.1 = Fast and smooth. *Also good for daily use
Android 7.1.2 = Fast but unusable with Gapps. *Can be use daily but don't
Android 8.1.0 = Fast but stutters on notification bar, recent app, default launcher, etc. *Older builds

Some Gapps:
HDPIGapps working fine. :good:
OpenGapps Setup Wizard and a lot of systems app crash constantly for Android 6, 7 & 8.

What do you mean? I just follow the instruction on which custom rom i'll going to install, If you mean like the newer LineageOS 15.1 by SergeyL or Chrono just follow bien2004 instruction LOS15.1 thread on how to install it (it also works with LOS 13/14.1 SergeyL)
So far I've understood that you need to have a custom recovery to install any custom ROM, I might be in a false assumption.
That is the reason why I tried to install TWRP but failed in first attempt see

Hallo,

The only way is to install TWRP is using Chrono Kernel which came with TWRP Recovery after installing it.
And the TWRP you trying to install is old which bricks most user.Chrono kernel works with Stock 4.1.2 so no worry:fingers-crossed:
I'm sorry but I have to ask again, I don't like to make the above described journey again .
I'm now on 2.3.6. Shall I now flash Chrono Kernel what installes proper TWRP otherwise I don't understand

Chrono Kernel is only work on 4.1.2+, and what I meant by is the kernel itself have an inbuilt TWRP Recovery.You should update your device to jelly bean first before doing this.

Shall I do OTA update or flashing the image as downloading the image from hosting pages takes ages.

Just use Odin it's much easier, if things go wrong you can just flash back to stock (without re downloading it again).Here the links https://updato.com/firmware-archive...xact=1&r=&v=Jelly+Bean(Android+4.1.2)&rpp=100 (better than SamMobile since you need to be premium user to download the older ones and also faster download speed) or you can go here http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/GT-I8160/Stock_ROM/ (this from a2n server, choose the I8160XXMB4).
I can't find the topic for LOS 14.1 erased ?

Hello all !
Well is the history of my tf300t:
4.1 (stock) OTA to 4.21 (stock), (once had a crash so need to reinstall from sd card (still 4.2.1).)
i have enough with the latency of the tablet ! so i have decided to install cyanogen mod 10 (stable), but the problem is it's a 4.1 and i'm on 4.2.1.
In addition i use twrp 2.5, i was thinking to update to 2.6 but on the install note these 3 versions :
*.-ics - on the 4.0 official software.
*.-jb - if you have official 4.1 software.
*.-4.2 for the official Asus 4.2 update
If you choose the wrong file you may brick your tablet.
right now i'm on 4.2.1 so by logic i need to use the *.-4.2 file but if i want to use cwm 10 (4.1) the twrp will be compatible ? or i need to change version ?
thanks for helping ....

Hello, I have an A-510FD Duos version. I am bored of TouchWiz UI and want a new UI without installing a launcher. Currently my phone is on 6.0.1 with the latest security patch installed. I want a step by step guide on how to root it with the latest Odin version i.e 3.12.3 as I am a noob when it comes to these things. I have never ever rooted before. Also after a successful root I want help in choosing the right ROM. I would like to upgrade to Android 7.0 and a stock Android UI like in the pixel with Google assistant if possible. Thank you

Hi. There's no 7.0 rom available for Ax10 devices yet but you'll find TWRP recovery and root
in this thread.
There's no other root option available other than flash TWRP and trip knox.

try, LineageOS 13 (Android 6.0.1)
https://download.lineageos.org/espressowifi (Wifi only)
https://download.lineageos.org/espresso3g (if your tablet uses a sim card and has a phone app, use this link)
Also try Slimkat (4.4.4) by Andi
...and may be useful (to have much speed) flashing a modded kernel?
Thanks in advance

The only working kernel is Andi's Anykernel but it does not support overclock so you will not have any difference in speed.
I had the last CM13 build on my Tab 2 (7") and it worked perfectly nice and smoothly. LineageOS 14.1 was terribly slow, barely usable in my opinion. Besides, it uses up much more of the internal storage than CM 13. Then I flashed LineageOS 13 and it works as nicely as CM13. So, unless one really needs any of the Android 7.1 features, I would recommend LOS 13 to Tab 2 users. (Android 4.4.4 I didn't try.)

In my experience. KitKat ROMs are best for overall usage
Hi and hello to the great xda community. My question is this : I want my android 9.0.x custom kernel to be able for flashing on a Android 10 rom ... Little more explanation here: My device is a oneplus 6 With 8gb ram and 128 gb storage. Im running on android 9.0.9 oxygen rom with the great Smurf Kernel
The fact is this kernel is perfect! But i also want to run my oneplus6 with the latest oos 10.3.1
So there will be one thing for me ... I managed to build a kernel myself but my stuff was looking like a child drawing aha !
So i am now facing a giant issue when i try to flash an older custom kernel into a newer android os .... nothing happen it just not booting anymore !
i tried to cook the smurf kernel many time but the developper of this piece of engineering is far far too good for me i don't understand he's code and now he don't work on he's kernel anymore
SIMPLE QUESTION : is there a way to fix this custom kernel for being able to flash it in Android 10

No, you'll have to build a new kernel using the Android 10 source code to build the new kernel.
