I know CM uses a different filesystem than for example stock ATT roms, but is it possible to create a lagfix type partition for cm? Just an idea if any devs wanted to look into it or have tried it.
Cm ICS doesn't really need lagfix. I flies for me!

Not possible. Nor would it provide faster results, it would actually be slower.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
CM essentially solves that problem already by using a smaller but faster partition for data
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
OK makes sense all you opinions just wondering if there was a way to make it even more efficient =)
Kernel sources are there
So modify them! (c) one of kernel devs
Just reformatting partitions to EXT4 doesn't work. CM9/ICS doesn't like it. Pitiful miserable little kernel devs! Kidding....

What does it take to get miui support on the sidekick 4g?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
I think the biggest hurdle right now is compiling an AOSP kernel for this phone. Since all we've got to work with is Froyo for the time being, any MIUI port would be considerably dated.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
Thanks. So basically we're waiting for a GB ota kernel source code update from Samsung. Then compile aosp. Then the roms like cm and miui can boot.

exactly or waiting for someone like krylon to get a leak for us!
To port MIUI, we need a 2.6.35.x kernel, which would require either a GB release/leak or Sammy to release the kernel source for 2.6.35 for our phone. I'm currently working on porting the 2.6.35 kernel to get CM7 working, but it's taking much longer than anticipated, given the amount of stuff that they added to our phone.
Hase anyone find any kernel that works with cm7. Please link the link

What do you mean? The cm7 build already has a kernel
Sent from my Doubleshot using XDA App
I know but another one. if ther is another one. Cuz I ve seen alot kernel out there like the og kernel. titan. Incrediblekernel. But those don't work with this rom

Alright, let me explain what a kernal does, so you'll understand why exactly they don't work.
The kernals main and only feature is to maintain the hardware and how the phone works, entirely. It's not actually Android User Interface (AUI), but what makes the AUI work and give the usability of the phone to the user.
Each phone has a different base kernal, making it impossible to used on a phone with different hardware. The only kernal available for AOSP/CM is the one that it comes with. If you choose to use the Sense ROM's, some of them work with the OC/UV kernal RomanBB posted linked here.
Ugh... I really don't like asking questions, so let's keep this short.
Am I able to use the CM9 kernel on MIUI? Specifically, Lithium's build.
I know MIUI is based on CM9, but on some phones, MIUI needs its own kernel.
Thanks for the help!
You can try it out. For science.

This is my only decent phone. I'm not going to risk hard bricking...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
do a backup, u know the drill. An incorrect kernel/rom combo in this case won't hard brick, maybe a soft one, thus the backup. Hard bricks only occur when u flash a kernel that isn't for our phone, as these are device specific
Hi
I have a question I'd be happy to get an answer to.
Erikmm sent me a MIUI port I translated and posted later on as HebMIUI.
Today I wanted to merge the cm7 front facing camera fix in.
I saw in team acid github the fix was made in camera lib and in kernel.
So i copied the relevant lib and boot.img (which as i understood includes the kernel) to the ROM zip and reflashed ROM. I think the camera is fixed but I'm getting FCs for systemui, settings and launcher and i had to restore my backup.
Can you please explain how i can sync these kind of changes to a CM7 based on ROM ?
Thanks!

Is it possible to compile MIUI from source?
Probably yes, but I haven't ever done it...plus i don't have it...
That's the problem with porting ROMs with smali, if you want to grab all the latest changes you're gonna have to use the newly built rom as base. This is why we were trying to get MIUI patchrom working. If we have the new zip it does the smali patching for you and you don't have to do nearly as much work since you can automate it.
I don't understand, on BML I used to flash a new kernel every second day. There is no way to flash only the kernel on MTD?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
The kernel changes had userspace changes to go with them (new builds of the libraries).
That wasn't going on with the BML kernels. People were just adding new features, not really changing anything that was already in the rom.
The only way of it working is if you build miui from source, or re-port it. There are 2 separate branches, android device and kernel. A fix in kernel also goes with another device. And device is built in the rom

Hey everyone,
New to the crew, and blown away by how helpful and knowledgable this community's members are. Hopefully I get smart soon so I can contribute!
Q: If i'm running stock ICS 4.0.4 on the canadian skyrocket, am I able to flash a custom kernal that allows for changing boot animations, cpu control, and various other tweaks, and how would one flash only the kernel and not the rom? I think i'm one of the few people who doesn't completely abhor the tw interface.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Yeah. Flash cwm with Odin, put su on sd card, use cwm to flash su. Then you are rooted. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, then flash the kernel in cwm.

Thanks for the reply! I should have mentioned that i'm rooted and have the latest cwm touch installed already. I guess a better question would be which kernal would be recommended in this case?

you just need to find a kernel that is ics compatible, download it to your sd card, boot into cwm, clear the cache and dalvik cache, then nav to the kernel zip and flash it. I would suggest taking a look at a couple of vincoms stickies for noobs a the top of the skyro dev forum, theyre a wealth of knowledge for us new guys.

Any ics kernel. Depends if you want bln, oc, uv. If you want those use mohans cymbaline, it's the only one we have with those options. The other kernels will allow uc and boot animation support, the basics.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
thank you! I went ahead and educated myself on the matter, and am really enjoying mohans embryo 4.1 with the cymbaline kernel. Its touchwiz base probably helps the phones stability, and the s3 features are pretty neat. I also recommend the build.prop tweaks linked from embryo's dev page.
