Root [International] siyah kernel

thank you. im just wanting to kno whats the best kernel to use i did try siyah kernel but i dunno if i flashed it right...it kept switching my phone off and then i tweaked the settings i changed like speed and battery and it was ok...but i want something reliable and also something mayb to make my memory bigger x
 
What part of the memory do you want bigger, The internal storage?
Siyah, in my experience is 100% reliable on the s3 tbh :thumbup:
 
Why can u have both storage bigger? Someone recommended wanamlite? What ya think. If i use siyah kernel coukd someone semd me link to the right one plz x
 
The kernel will work on 4.1.2 it doesn't work on 4.2.1 firmware though. If you want to go down the custom Rom route you can't go wrong with neatrom or wanamlite

I'm running neatrom now and have used wanamlite in the past and they're the two best I've tried. Make sure to go for the latest 4.1.2 build (mc2) as the 4.2.1 versions are based on unofficial leaked firmware.
 
Siyah is a kernel. It's like the control centre for your ROM or firmware.

The latest is siyah 1.9.1

It looks like the dev is working on the kernel again so be prepared to keep checking back to flash the updates as once he starts he tends to update quite regularly.

Edit: I'd probably stick with stock for now and see if you get the performance you need with just the kernel. If you're not happy or curiosity gets the better of you, you can try a ROM later.
 
Once ive put on wanamlite do i need to reroot? The cwm app thing wont work for some reason...if i instal busybox and superu will it go over the one i have already....and do i flash those both seperate too x
 
If you've already downloaded it give it a try. You should find it's an improvement over stock. Siyah can be flashed with Odin or recovery, you just need to download the right file. If you're flashing with Odin download the .tar. If you're flashing with recovery download the zip.

Click to expand...

The ROM is rooted so no need to reroot after or flash busybox or supersu. It will come with its own kernel so if you want to use siyah you'll have to flash that after.
 
i have downloaded both tar and zip but wil more than likely use the zip...i have used siyah kernel before and my phone kept goin of and on as id used the tweak to changed processor speed and battery once id reset them it was ok...so what should i do..mayb i didnt have the up to date one. do u use the kernel and rom together or just have one or the other x
 
ah so the wanamlite will just install the superus and busybox itself cos on the forum it gave them files seperate? so much to learn lol x
 
ah yes i already have that on my phone so when i instal wanamlite it will just go over that or shall i use the zip file from the other form...so what is philz touch is that a custom rom same as wanamlite or something else lol x
