For the most custom ROMs you have to repack the kernel. However, on ViperX ROM there's no need to repack, just flash the boot.img for the kernel and install the modules in CWM.

Sweet so no repacks needed for viperx Rom just install the original custom kernels then? i.e faux123 kernal

Sorry another noob Question based off of this, but how do you know if a Rom needs a repacked kernal or not?

Yuo, no need for repack. Just download the ones from the official faux thread and you're ready to go!

If there are any ramdisk tweaks you need a repack. It's usually also stated in the OP if you need repack.

thank you for you time, but how come ?! you said no for the first question, and said "is compatible" for the second question !!
Just help me please, I'm New in this world, I want to learn that's all.
Thank YOU again

I'm sorry I didn't answer your second question. The kernel is compatible but sweep2wake will not work on JB roms, so that includes: CM10, AOSP and AOKP. Only will work on Sense ICS roms.

ics kernels for sense (fix miui v4 video playing) **update

fix miui v4 video problems
here are ics kernels included in viper rom (chinese ota kernel) and tazz's rom (leak kernel) to be used in other sense ics roms.
I actually made these to work with miui v4 as those have garbled video.
Any other rom which needs kernel updated can use this without any problems.
All credits should go to nitsuj17, tazzpirate and microdroid. All I did was extract kernel and hardware drivers from their roms and make a kernel update pakage.
flashing these kernels will fix garbled video problem in miui. both f these have working wifi and data. tested. these will not wipe data but make a backup just in case.
there's no point of flashing these kernels for a viper user. but tazz user may flash viper kernel to fix occasional wifi drop issue
flash only one.!! either tazz's one or viper one
thanks. :good: :laugh:
new version added. people having problems can try flashing that
Any one still having problems with these kernels just flash this boot.img from 4ext recovery after flashing the kernel zip fie.

I'm familiar with Viper's kernel since I've used viper rom but how does it differ from the one Tazz used? Is it just the Viper one having the wifi fix or is there more? Better yet is there even a reason to use Tazz's over Viper's?

I flashed the viper kernel over Miui and it gets stuck at the white HTC screen. Anyone else?

I think only viper kernel has fixed WiFi drop issue. Tazz kernel hasn't fixed it. And tazz kernel has some graphic driver issues so some items doesn't render properly in some games.

Using this on MIUI, good work. Now all I need is to stop the radio from disconnecting for a few seconds when WIFI connects and I will be 100% content, until I get the itch to flash again, that is. Thanks again

[Q]

Hi all guys. I flashed Ice col jelly 4.2.1 and i have some questions.. Why there si no photosphere option in camera app ? Which 3.x kernel can I sue for it to use project butter and optimize battery life ?

Hi. I've heard that photosphere is not supported on our device (it makes the camera app FC) and that's why developers removed it from their rom.
For the kernel, I don't know, I might be interested if someone has an answer.
PS : maybe you should be more specific in the title of your thread

I tried Trip's one x+ kernel on ICJ421 when it first came out it was v002 if I remember right. I was able to boot but got reboot after a minute of use.
The stock kernel is the best at the moment.

Maybe I will try this kernrl to know if the developer fixed this bug! How to flash the kernel ?

Repack the boot, flash like normal: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then flash modules in recovery.
And nandroid before flashing!

Cant flash any kernels on my hox quadcore

i tried both with viper x 3.3.1 and insertcoin v15.2.0. Every time I try to flash bricked kernel it flashes the kernel and then bootloop. I would really appreciate if someone would give me a zip file of faux kernel. I only find moduls on this site...
Please help I need a kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Currently there are no available custom kernels for the jelly bean base, because htc didnt release the kernel source code yet. All you can use will be the stock htc kernel that is also incorporated inside the rom when you extract it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

There is the custom-stock kernel made by TripNDroid from Tegra3 references and from HOX+ source.

Just reflash the rom to fix the modules and reflash the original boot.img .....

Yeah , and quit flashing ICS kernel onto JB rom , that can lead into some issues, bigger then you think.

Ok got it. Staying with viper x 3.2.2 and waiting for jb kernels to be created. When is htc giving the source to the devs?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

They should release the code about 90 days after the release.....but nobody knows for sure !
