My phone lags after flashing this modified kernel

 

[Prince_Eugen]

i dont have any problem until now

Nice. I only have 3 question:

1. After rooting, will I still recieve OTA updates when they become available with the new dev previews?
2. Can I use Clockwork recovery instead? My devices never play nice with TWRP.
3. I never flashed a custom kernel, is it any more dangerous than flashing a custom ROM? Can it irreparably ruin my phone? Does this kernel offer any advantage besides permissive SELinux?

1. Yes, it should (or if not, just flash system images / firmware images)
2. Yes
3. If you flash a custom ROM, the you flash a custom kernel. That's the logic. So basically it has the same risk of flashing a custom ROM. The kernel offers some tweakable features (it can be tweaked via an app)

I'm running Code Blue. He just released a beta M kernel on his Goggle+

 

[russian392]

I flashed @hellsgod kernel and got root. So there's like 3 kernels now that give root. Code blue has one too.

Also with this kernel I get about 6.5 hours sot cause standby is amazing now.

Where can I get the updated Kernel? Can't find the version for M.

Android m root

I'm Running M as secondary rom through multirom(with lollipop as primary and Ubuntu )
If I change kernal will it apply to both android roms?
Will this be ok if it does?

Thx

No, just flash the kernel for the secondary ROM. The kernel for the primary ROM will be unaffected.

You won't get updates. The md5sum has been altered

Kernel is the heart of your device. It processes all I/O's of your system. Consider it as a base platform or the foundation on which your Android OS works. To run any OS on the device there has to be kernel. Its a mediator between the hardware(device) and software(OS)

May I ask about your usage and all that? Any screenshots?

The best way to root M is this -

Download superuser - https://app.box.com/s/3horxkwkpcqnr64ixbl62vjblqtphco6

Download twrp img - https://app.box.com/s/1e567hg5kjm3eokl866mb69v5pqahuk5

Download the zimage made by @blackbird5308 - https://app.box.com/s/8uc03idcn2oc6wbo0iews8d4trvjyju2

Follow his instructions i screenshot'd -

Then flash twrp (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)

Then boot into recovery and flash superuser
