Does the boot.img install kernel modules? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed faux123's kernel yesterday and tried undervolting the kernel, but it was acting weird so I decided I want to go back to the stock kernel. If I extracted the boot.img from google's factory stock image, will it re-install all the kernel modules if I decide to wipe the sys/module folder? The stock kernel modules are installed by the rom from what I understand, correct? This means that I will need to re-flash the rom on my phone to get it back to the stock way. I just don't want faux's leftover kernel modules in that folder after I flash back to the stock rom.

Mjolnir Kernel wifi modules

Hi everyone, i just installed Mjolnir Kernel, but wifi doesn't work, i know i have to install modules, but how do i installed them?, is there a guide to do it?
Put them on SD card and through recovery, same as roms.
thanks, i'll try that way
it didn't work, i installed new FXP 133, i really wanted to try mjolnir kernel.
Did you flash the kernel first? I use mjolnir constantly so I know it works.. The order you should be doing goes: Kernel (flash tool or otherwise) then from cwm, wipe cache, flash rom, modules, then then gapps.

[Q] Backup stock kernel

How can I backup my stock kernel and drivers before I flash a new one?
Download the factory images and pull out the boot.img. When you want to go back to the stock kernel just flash it in fastboot.
There's lots of ways... if you're not aware of them then do your homework before you mess up your phone.

Quick question abot franco.Kernel

Hi, I'm currently running stock rooted 4.22 rom and franco kernel r134 with ClockWork Recovery and I want to flash the ParanoidAndroid, what should I do? Should I just download PA and GAPPS, flash it with factory reset, dalvik and cache, and I will still have my franco kernel? Or should I flash kernel reset first and then flash PA?
When you flash the Rom you will lose the kernel and it will install the one included with the Rom if you want Franco kernel back you have to refresh it.
Flash ROM gapps Franco kernel and reboot done

[Q] Boot loops after flashing kernels

My Nexus 4 has been unable to flash most kernels without giving me a boot loop. I was on the Purity rom for a while and tried to flash Hellscore, Hellsdoctor, and Matr1x kernels but each would give me boot loops. However franco kernel flashed just fine. I then tried the Nexus 5 Experience rom with the CAF kernel packaged into the zip file and that flashed just fine. I now am trying C-Rom v5.6 and trying to flash the AK kernel v103 and it of course gives me a boot loop as well. I tried to flash Hellsdoctor to see if that would work, it did not. But franco kernel still flashed just fine for this rom as well. I did wipe data, cache, and dalvik and flashed the rom, then gapps, then the kernel. Unless I am missing something really stupid I do not understand why I cannot use most kernels. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i was on AOKP when i flashed franco and this happened... then i flashed FAUX123 and also happened.. but not the kernel with ROM....
until i figure out that most of those kernels only works on AOSP based kernels

HELP! restoring stock rom and kernel

hey guys. i am running my mi a1 with franco kernel and with liquid remix- latest version. i want to go back to stock everything. if i will use miflash tool to flash stock rom and lock the bootloader, it will also install the stock kernel as well? and if not, how do i install the stock kernel? thanks alot.
Flash tool will replace everything including kernel and lock the bootloader. Go ahead and flash..
Btw what makes you go back to stock?
I want it because of the battery reason. I installed the franco kernel only for the battery life and it doesnt seem to make too much... Around 5 hrs to me either way
It will also restore recovery, if you flashed it. It restores pretty much everything. Except persist partition.
Whatever govenor did you try? I use conservative and het good resultaten in combi with nap time.
