New here:)

Hi, I'm a user of Xperia Neo V and now my friend wants me to upgrade his SGS to either ICS or JB.

Since this is my first time flashing SGS, so there are 2 questions that I want to ask :

1) Is there a kernel included inside a custom ROM?
2) Is the kernel needs to flash separately like Xperia phones? Or the kernel will flash through CWM with ROM?
3) Is the kernel or ROM requires specific version of ODIN to flash?

Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English :)

1.) Yup, the roms all come with kernels
2.) The kernel will flash with the rom in recovery, and if you want to change kernel you only need to flash it in through recovery
3.) With ICS and JB, all of the roms and most of the kernels are made to be flashed through CWM/TWRP/Devil etc etc, so you won't need Odin

Android 4.4.3 and Greenify

I have the latest CM11-20140607-nightly for my Galaxy S i9000. After reading about the Greenify app, is it worth installing as most of it's features seem to be built into the ROM?
I am very impressed by the quality of all the CM ROMs I have downloaded and have had only a few problems.
