How do I extract a kernel from one rom to another rom?

I did do a search and from what I have read you can download both zips and extract the boot.img from one rom and put it in the other rom. Is this correct, a step by step on PC or phone would be nice. Or just extract boot.img from one rom then install the other rom and flash the other boot.img in TWRP on top of that rom. Again a step by step guide would help me. If I could get the source is there a easy way to make a flashable zip? Or if there is another method.

EDIT: I'm S-Off and 3.16 without touchpanel and trying to take one CM10 kernel from a rom and place it in another CM10 rom then flash.

Have you tried this? : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui

Are you s-on?

If so, after extracting boot.img got to your folder that has your fastboot and adb exes in cmd and put your phone in fastboot usb and place your boot.img then issue the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Good luck!

Yes I am S-Off. Also with the program you linked to it looks like it is for S-On and most of the instructions that I find are for S-On. If I am wrong could you point me in the right direction with a guide for Flash Image GUI.

If you are s-off you can use the same commands or flash custom kernels, depending on the rom version you are using you just need to place the zip in your sd card and flash through twrp... Can you give more details of your setup and what kernel rom are u using or which one are you trying /want to flash?

For 3.16 you can use either thicklizard's Arc Reactor Kernel or flas2's Bulletproof... And depending on the rom you are running overclock/underclock - change schedulers or change voltage values using scripts or apps like setcpu, android tuner, etc...

He's using AOSP, so those kernels won't work.

I just gave up for the time the being tried all the CM10/AOSP roms on here and Evervolv kernel/rom is only rom that bluetooth on my vehicle like the Sense roms I used. I tried to use Flash Image GUI and it extracted the kernel I think but it put ChameleonOS on boot animation and would not load. Then I took the boot.img out of the Evervolv rom and replace it in the ChameleonOS and flashed and it would not load so it is either not compatible or I am doing something wrong.

Did you check the Linux version? I'm using komodo with cm10.1 inverted rom from tronit without any issue, I've flashed the kernel stabilizer as well...

I tried Komodo with Jellybam and the bluetooth was the same so I abandoned it but I think I will try to flash the boot.img from Evervolv again with this a see if it does anything.
And what's wrong with your bluetooth?
