Custom kernel flashing - Xiaomi Mi 4i

Hi guys!
I'm using the lastest MIUI 7 Rom and i was wondering if I flash a custom kernel like Sensei, will the rom still work?
Also, if I flash CM13 with that kernel and then I want to go back to MIUI, will I have to flash the stock kernel?
Thanks!

My kernel works only with Miui6 as reported by @davtse as the're significant improvements on the partitions of Miui7... You don't have to flash back stock, just use MiFlash and it will handle all the fuzz of flashing back Miui.
Hope this answers your question.

I am on CM13 + Sensei.
If I want to update CM13 (dirty flash?), I don't have to flash stock kernel before doing that, right?

No but you have to reflash back my kernel since the rom flashes back stock...

[Q] Mahdi rom

Does the Mahdi Rom work with Franco Kernel R4? I have this kernel on my stock 1+1 64gb international version. Reading on the developer forums some say yes and some say no that it causes reboot issues. I am just trying to get some clarification on this issue. Thanks

Yes it works with it, but only the version posted in the mahdi rom thread
Few users have reboots, many don't
Mahdi Rom
Do I need to add the kernel off the op page or just use the one I already have in twrp, it is the Franco kernel r4. It is the same one that is on op page I think. I see some people talking about dr87 twrp. I just have the stock 2.7.1.0 twrp installed. Do I need the dr87 twrp? Sorry for the noob questions just trying to it get right. Thanks

Use dr87 twrp and dr87 franco kernel r4.
I'm using both on MAHDI and it works perfectly.

Just one more question. Do you flash the dr87 twrp right over the stock twrp or do you have to remove the stock twrp? Thanks for the quick reply and all the help.

It doesn't matter what recovery you have prior to flashing, flashing dr87 twrp will override whatever recovery you were using before. Fastboot flash it or use the flashable zip to flash it. Up to you.

I flashed the dr87 Franco kernel today and never got past the one+ screen on boot up. I was just wondering if I needed to flash Mahdi rom first and then flash the dr87 Franco kernel? I did get the dr87 twrp installed and all is well with that. I re- flashed the Franco kernel r4 and I'm still on the stock cm rom and everything is good. After reading the MAHDI ROM forum it seems they are having problems with this.

Simply follow the steps in the MAHDI OP post.
Its pretty much.
1. Factory Wipe
2. Flash MAHDI then gapps or kernel (doesnt matter if u flash gapps or kernel first).

Are they getting all the bugs worked out of this and is it ready to roll? I kinda have been waiting a little while to see how everything is going to play out. It seems like it is getting better and better. Let me know how you feel about it. Thanks

Yes, it has CM11S in the kernel filename, as long as you're on the most recent build of CM11S (44S) it should be fine.

What should I be aware of after flashing a Kernel?

I've been researching about this for 30 minutes and still couldn't find anything that answered my question, I apologize in advance if the answers are obvious.
So the question is as the title states, what should I be aware of after flashing a Kernel on CM12.1? Will I have any issues when updating to another nightly? Or when flashing a stock-ROM ? Thanks in advance!
if you update your rom, your kernel will be replaced with one if the rom.
so you have to reflash your custom kernel

Thank you for the answer, but despites that is there anything I should be aware of when using a custom kernel? Xposed, going back to stock, etc
Nothing i know of, xposed doesnt give any problems to me when i flash a kernel so you should be good.
so its pretty save to flash a kernel

One more question if you don't mind, how can I custom my kernel settings? Currently on Squid Kernel (Moto g 2015), CM12.1
Install kernel adiutur from the playstore. With that app you change all your settings

Update then flash twrp again and flash extreme kernel v5 you will not lose data guaranteed.

The OTA will update normally? Without issues cause of custom kernel?
