miui kernels

just want to know if kernels at xda (franco, eternity etc) can be flashed to miui 4

i have been running franco without problems, just switching to Faux kernel as i speak. as this is still based on HTC sources all the kernels should be fine, as long as you repack the boot.img

only thing to point out is that after changing kernel, after each reboot you will get a notification saying that you need a kernel upgrade, i just ignore this as it runs better on other kernels

I can confirm to you: Kernel franco work fine with MIUI v4:

Can this be confirmed?

im not sure if that is relevent mate, on built in kernel you dont get the prompt. as soon as you change kernel you get it once every reboot
Here is your confirmation


but again, you just clear the notification then it doesnt come back until a reboot

yep

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Updater.apk
adb push Updater.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

will give it a try now

EDIT: that worked a charm, thanks Peaches

so what exactly does this updater do or do differently from the original updater?

also when i downloaded it and tried to install it i was asked "this is as system application, do you still want to replace it?"
-i pressed "ok"
-then i pressed "install" on the screen where it says what your allowing the app to do
-then instead of installing it says "application not installed" with only the option to press "done"

any help with this would be greatly appreciated

sorry bit new to this but do those commands be entered into a terminal emulator app or can i plug my phone into my linux computer and use the terminal or do you know of any tutorials where i could see how this is done?

thanks peaches

Brilliant! thanks for the info and help in this thread!
Any news on when MIUI will update the base ROM to the newest version with the screen flicker fix? I recon that MIUI, with the newer base ROM, combined with the latest franco kernel (for all the latest nVidia Tegra3 power management updates) would truely rock!
In fact, if I wasn't so damned busy with work, that is exactly the sort of project that might encourage me to learn to cook up a ROM myself..!
Where does one even find a kitchen/tutorial for building a custom MIUI ROM?

im still looking for a repacked franco kernel to use in this miui release....ive noticed some are using francos kernel already..can we just flashboot it immediately without repacking for miui? i just need to confirm. thanks.

Yes, both franco's and faux's kernels work fine out of the box.

But do a backup in case! I flashed both of those kernels yesterday, and after franco's r7 it didn't boot - system_server was consuming 100% CPU with no apparent error. It may be caused by a bug in the kernel causing data corruption (I ended up restoring) or a coincidence...

do we install francos kernel by just putting it on our sd card, booting into recovery and installing the zip or do we have to flash the boot.img for the kernel first and then install through recovery?

After you flashed the new kernel did you erase cache?

franco r7 was pulled due to a bug. try 8.
