Changelog (google translate):

C8812/U8818, overclocking kernel to support the performance mode [Additional Settings], revised version of fast boot BUG

This part grabbed my attention so I flashed the boot.img to have a look and it does indeed have a new overclocking kernel compiled by Geno. The interesting part is that bluetooth and the camera work fine, flash included. Looks like we have our first first fully working overclock kernel and it almost sneaked past.

Here is just the boot.img from those who want it. I used it with Infusion and it works well. http://www.multiuplo...o.uk/UT9XXBKNB9

Thanks - I was expecting an update.zip - what do I do with boot.img?

Sorry, I just used fastboot.

Make sure USB debug is enabled. Power off, boot in to fastboot (vol. down and power on), then connect USB cable. Open cmd console, cd to where you have the boot.img and:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Guest wrtease]

he is some screen shots

fastboot flash boot boot.img

So if you flash the boot image, only the kernel is changed? And basically your UI experience is the same? Oh I assume recovering a nandroid backup will remove the the kernel and other changes?

Yes, yes and yes. You can even just restore the boot.img via CWM backup and restore > advanced restore.

But I am not pushing anyone in to flashing this - just providing it for those interested.

[Guest toge64]

geno you sly devil!!!!! he probably saw what omegamoon was doing and decided to have a crack at it himself.

[Guest wrtease]

am just testing the rom out and seems okay apart from an od force close .

[Guest emu123]

how do you get the play store on this?

[Guest maritimesbob]

Run smoother than the previous MIUI release?

[Guest Rico_89]

Yes, yes and yes. You can even just restore the boot.img via CWM backup and restore > advanced restore.

LOL I almost bricked my phone enough for one day, but this is just good to know. However the responsibility always starts and stops with the person pressing the buttons and not with those that just present the information. ;)

Thanks for the info.

Just for you dood, a cwm flashable zip I've tested it here but forgive me if your phone implodes. Make a nandroid of course. :)

Thanks for the restore tip!

[Guest Potatoes]

Nice, thanks for the boot.img Cyda, got it working here too, though not yet played around with it.

What I did was to replace the boot.img in omegamoon's zip with this one and flash it as normal

Here are a couple more benchmarks using the overclock kernel.

Please note: this is using the geno overclock kernel only, not the miui rom itself (the rom used was infusion). The clockspeed was 1.26ghz.
