You should be able to use just about any kernel for 4.03. lp9 our lpd even..lp7 is quite old now.

I went ahead and tried and it worked so far, phone is running root seemed to work fine.. using the lp7, can i just install lp9 over it or hows that go..

As I understand it (and I could be wrong) any kernel for 4.03 should work. Abyss, siyah, lp9, lpd. Whatever. Newer kernels and custom kernels may have bug fixes or better support for drivers. Myself I use siyah. But do your research as custom kernels have custom features that may or may not work on every ROM.
If you have cwm just use it or you can use Odin also.

And if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong and I'm not responsible for you bricking your phone.
Do your own research.

You can change kernel and modem just by flashing over the old one.(with the right file that is.)

Never apologise for not knowing.
Only apologise for thinking you know if you don't.

I am all for reading the firetruck manual, but the manual is huge and had a poor index.

Works correctly for me. Are you sure you'r eactually taking the shot? Does the photo show up in the gallery?

Boot to recovery and do a factory reset. Usually solves boot loops after a flash.
