which kernel for PA rom should I be using? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

OC kernel for CyanogenMod 10.1?

Is there one? Just switched from stock & feeling a little sluggish. I was using the kkboot4.1 on stock & it helped a lot. Anyone know if there is one for this ROM that works.

AOKP OC kernel works well on cm10.1.
I used the 4.1 cmenard kernel. (Aokp)

[Q] Franco's Kernel

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!

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.

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!

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

Flashing a different kernel

Im running pa 3.60 and Franco kernel and I want to try a new kernel but I was wondering if I can just flash the new kernel over the Franco kernel? Or do I have to wipe something?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
No need to wipe anything. Just flash whatever you want. I think faux needs a reset kernel before using his kernel. Other than that all other kernels are fine. Just flash and go.

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
