[Q] Franco's Kernel - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I am new to Kernels, I am running CM 10.1 Nightly 0124 build. I just flashed Franco's kernel and was wondering what does this give me? Like settings wise I dont see anything different from CM's kernel

You get under the hood improvement mostly. There are extra features such as force fast charge and under volt on the latest test build, but really, franco kernel has been amazing performing kernel.

In my opinion, yes. But you could get a little more into the kernel and change a lot of things, which I don't do since it is already amazing

Franco's kernel gives me great battery life. You can flash and forget if you want and the default configurations will work just fine. Or if you want to delve into the settings more I would recommend purchasing his app. And he just added UV-ing in the latest test builds

Go in franco's kernel thread, new updates and settings!

Franco kernel changelog: http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/appfiles/nightly-changelog
You should find everything you need in here.

Franco kernel is awesome! im on r61 and cm 10.1

Check the paid version of Franco's kernel app for lots of different tuneables for his kernel.

The real question is, why did you flash the kernel if you don't know what it does?

franco kernel
I am running Franco kernel r53 and the best thing it has given me is excellent battery life. I am gong on 1 day 11 hours without a charge and have 3 hours of screen on time. I'm running paranoid android instead of CM so I can't say your results will be the same but I am loving this kernel.

Choose ROM and Kernel

Hello all, I have a Nexus S device.
Before JB I use to flash CM every day and it works great. Now I have installed official JB and I want to speed-up my little machine.
Which ROM/kernel do you recommend?
I need stability and battery life.
Thanks and best regards.

I have this combo too. Everything is smooth and the battery life is very good.

There is no "best" combo and often these types of threads are closed. Why? Every phone runs in a different way. I say pick 1 ROM and kernel, give it 2 days and then switch it up. It is easy to clean install with TB. Example: try Cm10 stable version with latest marmite. Then try it with Matr1x kernel, etc. Then try AOKP with marmite, Matr1x, Trinity, etc. then try another ROM with ....
Find what is best for YOU. We all like different things and all our phones perform different on different combos.
Flash and have fun!
Thanks!
I will try CM10 with marmite.
Best regards.
I'd recommend Paranoid Android with matr1x kernel....lightning fast, very stabile, fully-featured, CM-based, and the best battery life of any combo for me
Everyone has their own preferences, so really it comes down to what you are looking for. Personally I'm running Strawberry (Metal Dragon Overlord or whatever) and Marmite 7.1. I'm not quite ready to test the 4.2 ROMs, but I know people who are running them and loving them.
Hell - people like to go back to Gingerbread!

I've found AOKP with the Marmite 7.1.3 kernel works well for me. Fast, stable, and good battery life.

Me too!
I'm on RasbeanJelly + AirKernel, great combo too.
I'm on CM10 but haven't flashed a different kernel..
Really happy of phone's performance so far but perhaps battery life is improvable..
Since so many of you are happy with Marmite I guess I'll give it a shot..
I'm coming from AOKP JB milestone1 which was the best JB ROM i had tried since to days ago.I now have Jellyshot with marmite kernel and everything is smooth and stable.If you want a JB rom try this.
Could somebody port jellyshot to the ns4g?

Ok people,
I have CM10 and followed your advise.. just flashed Marmite 7.1 kernel
I was expecting to see in kernel version (in phone settings) something like Marmite 7.1 blabla.. instead I see an 3.0.52-bedalus_CM-0347--blablabla..
I know mr Bedalus is the developer of Marmite, but anyway I just wanna make sure and make this stupid question..
Do you see the same blabla kernel version as I do or have I somehow not flashed the kernel right
forgive my noobness :angel:

Sounds like everything is fine. Enjoy. Try other ROM and kernel combinations to find the one you like best. The Nexus S development section is still active, if not more active since 4.2, have fun.

Where can I download RasbeanJelly 4.1.2 since the repos are empty?
blackbeen 6 + matrix 24 is for me the best choice
Good ol' Rasbeanjelly

which kernel for PA rom should I be using?

Im on the lastest PA rom, Mar18 as of now...
I have been using the the halfbreed kernel for the last 3 releases and didnt seem to have much problem...
but now with faux and franco kernel making advancements.. should I be using those instead?
I´m running PA since 2 month and i tried Franco´s und Harsh Kernel, but the Stock Kernel that comes with PA is still the best performing one for me.
Matrix here and yes running great! Mpdecision enabled

It depends on you. There aren't any kernel that you "should" be running. It's entirely up to you.

What kernel?

Hey everyone... Just got home from buying my nexus 4... rooted a few minutes ago and got pa installed. Some of the kernels I used on my galaxy nexus aren't here which I'm sure will be OK.... Are there any kernels that stand out above the others in any way?
Thanks for the help!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm using Franco Milestone M1 kernel. Seems to be a great combo with PA with about 4.5-5 hrs of SOT. But try other kernel for yourself and see which one is best for you.

I have tried every kernel here, and the best one that works for me is the enhanced stock kernel. Can under clock, under volt and is the snappiest one . Battery life is good too, plus touch control also works

Link?
Will this be compatible with 0.33 radio and tmobile lte?
It is the enhanced 4.2.2 stock kernel by Faux, you can download it from the first page of his thread.
Yes, it should work fine with .33 radio and LTE.

that has nothing to do with flashing kernels. dont listen to anyone that says they recommend to, theyre clueless. btw, try trinity kernel. and while youre at it, every kernel here is good. find the one that fills your needs and that your device likes best.
OP as pointed out....
Thanks

Running ktoonsez kernel and it has been great. Battery life seems the same (this is going to depend on what governor you select and what OV/UV...I'm on ktoonservativeq) as stock kernel but much smoother and way more options. Have not tried agat63's yet but I'm sure it is solid as well.

faux123 003 kernel has gave me the best battery life so far.. ktoonsez kernel ran good also but i got better battery life with faux kernel.. but kernel run diff for everyone.. one kernel mite run perfect for one and not the other.. test a few and find one that works well with your phone
The best kernel is which ever one works best for you.
Everyone uses their phone differently and every phone has minute manufacturing differences which make the best kernel for me not the best kernel for you.
Try them all for a few days and you quickly find the one that is best for you.

whats a good Kernel with Purity rom?

Im currently running Purity Rom with stock kernel. I dont like franco or faux kernel.
Which is good for purity rom?
Use hellscore it is a very good kernel. Also try purity kernel if you don't like hellscore.b
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
try them all. every device is unique, and reacts differently with every kernel. plus, we all have different wants, needs, and desires. to find YOUR perfect kernel, you would have to try them all.
First try the ROM kernel, if its good why to change? If not I recommended Franco or semaphore . good luck

There is a thread full of options and results. May I suggest you simply read the Purity thread
I recommend NEO kernel as its the fastest kernel along with hellscore which I heard is also quick. Battery life/stability/customization is very good on them too
