[Q] Need a little thought-provoking impulse - ROM-ing not just MOD-ing? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
since I own a S3 Mini I am into this board and the great custom roms here .. :good:
but what I still don't get: how close are the custom roms to the stock rom.
for instance:
stock for S3 mini is 4.1.2 - kernel 3.0.x?
custom roms: 4.2.2, 4.3.1 and 4.4.2 - all (maclaw roms) use the same kernel 3.0.101
but 4.4 uses linux kernel 3.3 or 3.4?
so what does this difference in the kernel versions (3.0.101 to 3.3) mean? Isn't it like using windows 95 with a windows vista or windows 7 theme?
dont't get me wrong, I love the custom roms! Using the slimrom of maclaw and like it a lot. Just wanna get it right in my head :silly:

I dont really know what are the changes in the different kernels but think of them like software updates, there may be tweaks, fixes and new features
All we have is 3.0 is because there are only 3.0 kernel sources and STE died and are not releasing kernel sources anymore

Hi,
thx for the information!
i've just read about the "STE" thing. Is it the "munjeni" - "story" in the Sony Xperia thread in this board and the legality of using leaked source code?
What a pity

Moto Atrix 886 HD Noob Here

Hello everyone After selling my xperia u I got this cellphone which is At&T branded .... I was running gingerDX on my xperia x8 a long time ago then I installed some custom roms on xperia U as well after unlocking it's bootloader and installing custom kernels etc. I sold xperia U as it was a bit slow for me....
Now the question I want to ask is : what are some good roms (without any bugs) fast and stable for this cellphone ? right now I'm on Android 4.1.1 official ... is it good enough if I only root it or should I go for a custom kernel / Rom and what is the easiest method to root it ?

Arrgh kernel for photon Q LTE works for our phone too, best and only(?) custom kernel we have besides N8 (only for 4.2.2 ROMs). Carbon, CM 10.2, PACman, and HoloBlur are my personal best experiences with this phone.

Carbon 4.3 nighlies by far the best and most stable

As for rooting and unlocking bootloader plus flashing a custom recovery, the Myth Tools program for Atrix HD has all those 3 things wrapped into one easy executable.

Thank Neighbor808 if you provide 2, 3 links for roms and the link to kernel I'll be thankful to you.. as I don't want to risk anything here as I'm new to Motorola world

Make sure you get CM 10.2 kernel for non stock based. Don't flash the kernel of the date of your nighty is later than the kernel (Oct 2 so far). It gets updated regularly.

I can't figure out which kernel to download ASA / FFW ? I've downloaded Oct 2 version of carbon ROM, any thread with it's screenshots and features etc ?
Please also tell in which sequence I should do the procedure ? like : root > recovery > Unlock Bootloader > kernel and then rom ?
Root, unlock bootloader, recovery, backup current rom, wipe data and system, flash rom then kernel.

Deeje is spot on. As for which kernel to download, Post #2 contains the kernels for STOCK or Stock-based ROMs. All of the ROMs I linked to you are CM-Based except for HoloBlur, which is stock based (but it already comes with Arrgggh kernel so don't worry about that). The thread clearly states:
ASA-36 (Original 4.0.4 ICS firmware)
ASA-14 (Final 4.0.4 ICS firmware)
FFW-5 (Latest 4.1.2 JB firmware)
Pretty much the only stock kernel you're ever going to need unless you fastboot flash back to ICS is FFW-5.
Post #5 contains the kernels for CM-Based ROMs (Pretty much all the ROMs out there that aren't stock based). The CM 10.1 Kernel is for Android Version 4.2.2 ROMs, while the CM 10.2 kernel is for Android Version 4.3 ROMs. If you are flashing Carbon October 2 nightly, that is Android 4.3, so you will flash the CM 10.2 edition.
Here's links for the standalone posts to make sure you know where you're going...

By the way, check Atrix HD Development section, has all of our ROMs + screenshots and explains features.
Thanks alot homie this explains everything now tell me some good features of Carbon / Pacman Roms so I consider flashing ?
Carbon is basically CyanogenMod with some great Paranoid Android features added in (like Halo, PIE, navbar customization, etc.) . Smooth, reliable, great battery. PACman is a combination of 3 popular ROMs (Paranoid Android, AOKP, CyanogenMod) and has pretty much every feature you can think of. Highly customizable, but has a few minor bugs and slightly worse battery. Carbon is more stable but not by a whole lot.

Can I flash latest carbon nightly builds if my kernel date is earlier?

Yes, you can. Just take latest kernel currently - Oct 23 2013 CM10.2 and latest Carbon rom from here (*Currently there are some problems on goo.im*) or here.
Kernel and rom date should be close as possible to avoid problems.
If there will be newer kernel then it might not work if rom is older than kernel but even then if there are any problem you can just re-flash earlier kernel. Although you don't really have to mess with kernel at first. Carbon actually come with a working kernel (latest build have mattmanwrx kernel) but it doesn't support overclocking/undervolting.
Ohh, and don't forget to flash gapps if you need them..
Thanks mate... for me most stable versions of kernel and roms are : 7 oct 2013..... I don't want to change them untill something really big comes out....I don't like overclocking as ATRIX HD is fast enough already with or even without pureperformance mod but I see battery improvements via that mod or maybe that's "Greenify" app that I'm using...

What are the available kernels for 4.3.1

Hello,
i just installed slimBEAN 4.3.1 on my SP and i was wondering wether there are any kernels available to flash except doomlords which is meant for stock ROM (said so in requirements right?)
I am looking for OCing and the usual optimizations that come with a custom kernel.
Thanks in advance!
There's no custom kernel based on aosp yet (other than the one that comes with the ROM). We still have to wait for some dev to make one.

Until the sources are released custom kernels won't be coming out. All the kernels in the present 4.3.1 roms are basically hacked together to work from the older sources. Building custom kernels further would just lead to more problems. Wait for the 4.3 and 4.4 sources and you'll see custom kernels popping up here.

I have had the same query. It is quite possible to port all these CM11 ROMs for LB too. PA and SlimROM work on KK on LB. Why should they not? If someone makes an effort, it can be achieved.
I also have LB, I have planned to try to port them somehow. But its my first time ever. Downloading the source for CM11 now. Possibly I might be able to. I don't know

Good luck !
If ever this is the version KitKat with CM 11 and PA 4.44 (latest version I believe) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-pac-4-4-4-beta-1-0-t2811990
Yes it's possible to port or compile all KK roms for LB.
But bringing a new port is useless if you don't improve and maintain it for a long time.
Compiling using available trees is very easy as 1 2 3.
Improving is the tough part.
By the way, I am planning to bring one more Rom beside paranoid android.
Choosing between resurrection remix and PAC

This choice is difficult...
PAC seems better now that i have seen some threads and devices.
RR is also good, but have to choose one. PAC gerrit and git looks more mature. Stay tuned for the thread.

I guess this only shows on the Chinese website? [I looked on en.miui.com] Is it still KK based?
Are we not better off following STRYDER~007's guide and building on a LP AOSP base if so?

Its 4.4.4 and it would be better to build from source , as I have damaged my m7spr and switched back to the nexus 7 grouper ,I can not build or make this ROM without testing , I have only had problems with boot.IMG but it is pretty easy ,as of now there should be a 6.0 source I have seen it was ported to a new device
I'd be all for giving it a go. I think that sticking to 5.1.1 for now would make the most sense, 6.0 isn't anywhere near ready to daily at this point. - I could give the @STRYDER~007 method a go, but I'm not aware of any non CM bases. I don't have the room to compile from https://android.googlesource.com/ and I don't know of a "clean" AOSP ROM. Any suggestions there?
...I may give CM12 a try, it just seems that leaving as little room for error as possible would be ideal.
