I have a Canvas 2 on which I would like to install a custom rom specifically ([ROM] [JB 4.2.2] ---***Ultimate Galaxy V4 [New Updated]***--- Note 3 + S5 UI) this one. I have read and researched a lot but I'm stuck at the point where it says "This ROM is Without Kernel. You Need To Flash Kernel If U R On 4.1.x. If U R on 4.2.x Then No Need To Flash Kernel"

I have rooted my phone, installed CWM Recovery but I'm not able to verify my kernel version.. On my phone it shows kernel version "3.0.13" and android version "4.0.4" ICS. Do I need to flash a new kernel? Where can I find the new kernel and how to flash it? I don't want to brick my phone by installing the above custom ROM on an incorrect kernel.

I am using this kernel..I am going to use X****** is this correct cos there are two download options one for 4.1.x and for 4.2.x and I have downloaded 4.2.x.. can I flash this on my 4.1.1 ROM? Please explain how to flash the kernel..

we cant discuss xtreme kernel here DUE TO GPL Violation....
okey then all kernels & rom installation(Flashing) r same..
download rom or kernel's zip file n
copy that zip file to ur device's sd card
now boot to recovery mode(what ever u have..like cwm, twrp, ctr, etc.)
goto install/update from sd card
find ur zip file there & select it.
install it n reboot ur device..

ummm.. so if I simply copy the kernel and run it from CWM it'll load a 4.2.x kernel without affecting my 4.1.1.rom?

thanks!!! that worked wonderfully..... now I'm on kernel 3.4.82... this means I can install my desired custom rom of 4.2.x... one last question, after I install the galaxy ROM and want to change to say nexus rom.. should I revert back to ICS or JB 4.1.1 STOCK or simply install the new ROM over the old one without changing anything?
