I know two different forks of miui v4 on the dev section - JIUI and WIUI. Since they seem to be based on cm10 only, I would request the respective rom devs to make flash-able zips or some guides to convert cm10 into miui v4, iff possible. It will have numerous benefits:
1) We will have to download smaller files.
2) The developer wouldn't have to make separate 2ndboot or linaro builds. As I see right now, Wajk hasn't implemented 2ndboot at all and JIUI doesn't seem to be linaro version. I know many people don't like linaro but there should be an option.
3) This would reduce the devs work too as he wouldn't always have to update his rom when quarx releases a new cm10.
So all in all I hope for a positive reply from Wajk and Janeindiran
It's not possible as far as I know, because both miui and jiui are not using the latest cm10 as base(heavily modified) and the custom kernel implementation seems to work for only older kernels. I don't think this will happen

Ok, I think the title is clear enough but, I'd like to know if there are any MIUI ROMs for the Motorola Defy Plus with a 2.3 (GB) Kernel. Thing is, I have Quarx's CM9 on Multiboot but I'd love to try ICS MIUI on it, but I understand I have to flash Froyo Kernel but don't know what would that do to my CM9 I'm so in love with.
I've searched all the threads on xda and the web but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Unfortunately Currently there is no miui build that works on gb kernel.

Thanks for the reply! Is there another rom that I should try? I don't really know about another interface for 4.0 but it would surely be great if there were one.
Edit: I have another question, is there a way to install a froyo kernel on multiboot so i can keep cm9 (GB) on my default boot? I already have multiboot but I'm not sure if flashing wiui, for example, will damage the other rom.
Look at the miui ics thread by sesme

Well as far as I know multi boot requires same kernel for the roms. I don't know if any recent development has changed it. You may check multi boot thread.

Sorry if this sounds like a noob question. Is there a CM7 or 9 ROM which is based on gingerbread kernel (e.g. 4.5.3-109_DPP-11)? The reason I ask is that I really like CM7 functionality, but have heard that gb kernel based roms (like ms2ginger) have awesome battery life. If there is such a ROM, does it have battery life comparable to ms2ginger?
Cm7.2 or cm9 defy+ builds work on gingerbread kernel. You can use 4.5.2.109 dht 22 kernel, which ms2ginger uses, and with it either cm72 or cm9 gives similar battery life. You can find the kernel link in Walters ms2ginger thread, if any difficulty tell me I can upload for u.
For quarx builds goto HTTP://quarx2k.ru
For eppy builds goto HTTP://defy.wdscript.fr

Thanks! Now I just have to figure out which one to use between Quarx and Epsilon..
I couldn't find the thread or topic for Quarx/Eppy's gb bases CM7.2. Does someone have the link?
I flashed the Rom of Quarx's latest cm9 ICS version.
And now he may be all developping the CM10.:good:
Does anyone know that whether Quarx will update the CM9 or not?
The CM10 might be a long time to debugging stage for normal using :angel:.but CM9 is nearly final-stable.I hope Quarx can do the final step to finish the Final-CM9.
Is there possible that change the CM9 as smooth as CM10 or each more smooth? Maybe it's impossible.

For Quarx and eppsy this is a hobby, so its normal that quarx now spends lots of time with the new toy (CM10) but, it seem to be pretty much compatible with CM9, so yeah, in 2 or 3 weeks once they get tired of toying with CM10, I bet we will see more news of cm9
Its Already started my friend....
Serach for this thread in XDA.... 1768702
Epsylon already stated that his intention is to create a stable ICS first

From the way it looks on github, Quarx is getting repos ready and laying down the groundwork for CM10 while Epsy is still working on CM9 and starting CM7 for the Samsung 9103. I wouldn't expect either of them to leave CM9 unfinished. I don't remember them abandoning CM7 for CM9. I only wish I'd have checked Epsy's ICS repo before starting a compile a couple of hours ago.
It is possible to have custom kernel with existing CM7 based rom like WIUI or MIUI (especially wiui), that supports swap function? I know that is implemented in last JB roms but they are too slow on my opinion. Yet.
Even if you could get it to work, you're forgetting that swap is slower and can cause secondary performance bottlenecks.
I think that maniac's build has custom kernel, but doesn't have swap support

I´m currently using CM10 by Tezet, and I have flashed the GB kernel that Tezet put in his post. It all works nice and well, but I wanted to try Danik's MS2Ginger. Does anybody know if it works well without flashing the custom kernel from Danik? Can I just keep my current kernel? If possible, I'd appreciate the opinion of someone who has tried this.
Thanks in advance!
PS: On a side note, my current kernel (CM10) is named: 2.6.32.9- Jellybean, etc, etc. I had the impression that the Linux Kernel for Gingerbread (that is to say, the GB Kernel) was 2.6.35. Why keep the froyo kernel number?

I think you can keep your kernel but you would really benefit from the new one when using Danik's ROM. I haven't tried his ROM though.
CM10 has a thing called "2nd-boot" which allows us to boot custom kernels, from an already running kernel.
2.6.32.9 is the Linux kernel version (which btw, the number doesn't have anyhing to do with the Android version, but newer Android versions work better with newer kernels, that's why there is a WIP 3.0.8 kernel for the Defy). "Jellybean" is just the branch of code. That kernel has the ramdisk and init binaries (I think, kernel experts please correct me) necessary to boot JB.
Motorola has never actually released a kernel newer than that for the MS2, the "official GB kernel" it's an older kernel "built" for GB.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for answering!
