[Q] a thing or two about kernels ??

i was just wondering what these kernels do . need less of that i read everywhere that our devs were waiting for huawei to release official 2.3 so they can get the kernel .
isnt it possible that we can make our own kernels or now as we have new kernel so can we expect new cm7 or xygen or miui to come out with an awesome flawless rom ????? surely the touch is much smoother on official 2.3 n camera has significant improvement ( UI is childish )

On the "what these kernels do..." check wikipedia, Android Kernels are based on Linux kernels. In just a few words kernels provide the basic functionality for applications to work (devices, memory management, process management)
Developers wait for the kernel source code (which is a 2.6.35 kernel), not the binary that is included in the official ROM (thankfully, Huawei is obligated to release the source).
When kernel source is released, any developers that want to build, tweak, study, copy, use the kernel source can work their magic *crosses fingers for CM7*

[Q] Best MIUI gb rom?

Hey guys! Ive been working on some mods and theming on gingerbread miui roms in the past week.. Now that I see something getting in shape I want to know people's opinions on the best gingerbread miui rom for the swift..
Also let me know if you know a good and stable gb miui for another device which is also ARMv6..
Thanks!

The best miui's we have are HTX miui by Koloses and V-MIUI v3 by TMinh, both seem to be very stable as they're based on the same rom ( CM 7.2 by tejas ) Koloses miui is little faster because it was resized to mdpi but it's little bugged.

[Q] AOKP vs AOSP?

What's the difference between an AOKP based rom and an AOSP one?
cheers

Aosp is the most vanilla version of android. It is the source released by Google. AOKP takes that source (aosp) and customizes it. They add ribbons and battery bar and other ROM control mods that aosp does not have. Flash one and check it out. I recommend task650's AOKP under the original development link.

[REQUEST] MIUI V6....anybody?

Has any of our devs looked into this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753204
I would kill to have this stable enough for a daily driver. I'm burnt out on AOSP roms and we all know the stock roms are garbage..

[Q] WiFi calling now in AOSP, can it be brought to N4 ROMs?

Now that WiFi calling has been brought to AOSP and is open source, does that mean that custom ROMs can now implement it or will it still be dependent on the firmware (radio/IMS subsystem)?
