Franco or Faux display control? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to decide which one I would rather use. I am leaning towards faux but with the coming of the display control app I'm not sure if the 5 dollar kernel control app will be enough.
If you think it is worth the 5 dollars for either one tell me. Then tell me which you use and why, I want to figure this out today!
Thanks guys

If you want to change the colors, I'd try Trickster MOD first.

Flash franco's kernel and buy his app

I started using Franco, but it didn't offer enough control of the gamma, which is pretty important if you're going to calibrate your screen really well and get images that really pop out at you.
Using FauxDisplay now, (which seems to work fine on my N4 with Matr!x kernel), and getting some decent calibrations.

Odp: Franco or Faux display control?
I'm using trickster mod with enhanced stock kernel by faux.

i don't want to sound harsh or anything, but please try the kernel first, and then buy something !

I bought the display control and it worms just fine with his enhanced stock kernel. I did have some trouble getting it to work at the beginning but after that it was pretty easy

[Q]Does Rasbeanjelly have brightness slider?

Does Rasbeanjelly have brightness slider? I really like this feature and use it more often than i thought i would, now i can't live without it. can anyone out there using rasbeanjelly share a screenshot or just in words what kind of notification customisation options are available? thanks
No slider I'm aware of, just an option to toggle different levels of brightness in the notification bar.

I've been hearing alot about rasbean lately.
Could it be used as a daily driver?

I mean the AOKP style slider, but this should work. Is there a theme out there which has a percentage to indicate the brightness? I use to have one of these but then I lost it.

No. It has the cm brightness slider. And I don't think there are any mods that add a percentage to it.

I've been using it for just over a month trying both Franco's kernel and the trinity kernel with very little time on the stock kernel. I've had three crashes in the last three weeks. Two of which may have been my fault for not fixing permissions after flashing a new kernel.
Edit: fixing Sig in text issue.

And as YOU can see it has ROM control which is part of AOKP not CM and rascarlo only uses CM code which means no part of AOKP is available.

it has nothing to do with ROM control. this theme is built with the t-mobile theme engine, so in theory it works on any rom with that feature: pa, cm10 and most other roms. all i am doing is a proof of concept, it is achievable, even though most themes dont have them.

Best romto install coming from stock

Hello, I'm wondering which is best for features, battery life, general use, performance etc...? I've searched and don't see much. Just wondering what u guys prefer, thanks!

rasbeanjelly + franco.Kernel
That's what I prefer anyway
This is incredibly subjective. Just make a backup and give them all a try until you find one you like. When it comes to ROMs, its a case of to each his own.
For what it's worth, I'm using AOKP with Franco's latest kernel. I've tried all the others, but I find myself going back to it.
Yea I know I just figured one might be better or worse for battery or be a little further along on features than some others.
One thing that irritates me is stock keyboard. Does any room also come with better keyboard?

As others have stated, AOKP is great. And yes, it gives you, in my opinion, a more useful keyboard (for example, the top row of letters allows for long-press for numbers). Battery life seems pretty even compared to stock. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

You can easily download a zillion better keyboards from the play store. Don't need a custom rom for that. My favorite is thumb keyboard.
As for roms there are many good ones. I am trying out liquid smooth right now and its good. I also like aokp. Using the ktmanta kernel.

Scott just posted CleanRom 1.0. Runs great.
Paranoid is a great rom with Franco R4.

What is the difference between Paranoid Android, Cyanogenmod and Aosp?

Hey guys, I am currently running PA but find things aren't as smooth as I would like. What is the difference between these three roms?
What are your personal preferences for each?
Oh, as well I am running the stock PA kernel for the display calibration. Does Franco kernel offer a similar calibration? I am afraid I will lose the calibration if I switch.
Thanks a ton guys!

I'll provide an answer for the Franco kernel question -> Yes and Gamma correction as well via the franco.Kernel updater application from the Play store. Also allows you to save the display color profiles as well which is always convenient.
I know you didn't say anything about this but have you taken a look at JellyBam ROM? It nicely incorporates all three ROMs into one (and among other things).

Paranoidandroid allows you to perform lots of customizations to your device like the hybrid mode it porvides in it's setting. The tablet or phablet mode. It was the pioneer that started the PIE interface. So simply said, it's made for customizations loaded with useful settings and tweaks. CM is based off stock rom.

CM is based on AOSP or Android Open Source Project. It's purely based on stock rom and that is the Team total focus point.

INFO:

AOSP is the source that makes up Android OS. The OS you see on your Nexus device is AOSP. Pure android without Touchwiz, Sense and etc. It's basically Android without it's "clothes".

That's all I know. Lol. Perhaps someone else chime in more about it.
These answers are great guys thank you. I have to inquire further about the gamma correction though. If I'm clear, to get the awesome display settings that are baked into the PA kernel I will need to buy the application and fool with settings in it?
Or do the display settings come as a pre made option in the theme?

I assume you're talking about the franco.kernel updater app. Yes you can fool around with it. There are preloaded color profiles in the app that you can choose from. You can find out of that in "color control" from the app.

your kernel has a huge influence on how smooth a rom will run. if you like PA, try flashing a different kernel or a different version of the one you are using

Is there a color tuning kernel?

One of the things I liked about Franco kernel was that you had the color tuning option. I understand that Franco kernel isn't compatible with Xposed framework (or something along those lines it really isn't clear) but I'm stock 4.4 with lots of Xposed and would like to be able to fine tune color saturation and all that. Anyone know of a solid custom kernel that would allow me to do that and still be compatible with Xposed? I had to use the Franco kernel app before with his kernel.

if you install a kenel like hells core or ak you can download the app "trickster mod"
there hava a opcion that can change the calibrete of the screen like
-google (stock nexus 4)
-lg
-halfbreed
etc
works perfect and is the most simple and easy
Franco works fine with xposed.

Seems like I was reading through that thread and saw some issues with the Xposed mods. Maybe my bad. Another thing I struggled with is knowing which to download. I can't seem to decipher nightlies from stable releases.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Xposed doesn't work with the ART runtime, that might be what you read?
And don't stress over Franco - there is no stable release for the N4 since he's making little changes a couple times a week. Just flash the most recent nightly from the official thread. We're on version 199 right now.

And since we're on the conversation of the Franco kernel is there support for 4.4.1 or 4.4.2? I see this as the heading. I'm curious because I haven't upgraded past 4.4 yet and not really sure if I'm gonna fool with going back to stock and reflashing etc...
