Android 4.2.2 - Settings -> Security error - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good afternoon.
I am using 4.2.2 in my LG Nexus 4. It is rooted with SuperSU and I am using Franco kernel.
Every time I try to enter in Settings -> Security I receive an error. I already tried go back to the default kernel, installed the Clockworkmod recovery and wiped the Dalvik cache and the error continues.
I don't know if there is anyway to export this error report, so here goes the screenshots:
Thank you!

Assertion issues, what rom are you using?
It is not really recommended to flash a custom kernel on the stock rom.

The stock rom only works well with the stock kernel for multiple reasons, I cannot get into detail why custom kernels can be bad for stock ROMS.
I maybe can get to detail if you want me to.

What???
I am running stock ROM with a custom kernel (Franco), as are many others, and it's fine.
A custom kernel is usually just the stock kernel with some modifications (could be a tiny change or something bigger). What's wrong with that?

Its the first time I've seen someone say custom kernels aren't recommended for stock rom. So just curious to find out why that is the case.

It can go well but sometimes something can go wrong so I am saying that it really depends on anything on the device.

Some custom kernels can cause issue on the stock ROM while others has no issues.

Sorry but this doesn't make any sense. Any app, ROM, kernel or whatever could have "issues", it's the same with any software.
Earlier you said that custom kernels shouldn't be used on the stock ROM and that's just nonsense which you don't seem able to justify. What's so special about the stock ROM which makes it less suitable than a custom ROM?
If a custom kernel has been designed purely for a particular custom ROM then maybe that one shouldn't be used on a stock ROM, but you seem to be drastically over-generalising. Most custom kernels are designed for any ROM on the N4, particularly since most custom ROMs are built on exactly the same AOSP base.

Custom kernel is gone after flashing a rom

Why is it that I have to reflash a custom kernel every time I flash the newest build of a rom?
Any time you flash a custom ROM, it will always include some kernel along with it. Hence, when you flash the newest build of a rom, you're also re-flashing the original kernel that it came with.

I see. Thanks! So I pretty much gotta flash my own custom kernel every time then?
As far as I know yes. There could possible be some way of flashing without the kernel, but I think it's much safer to just flash the whole custom ROM and then re-flashing your own custom kernel.
Yeah the easiest thing to do is just install the ROM with its kernel then just flash your kernel of choice.

Nexus 4 lag after kernel restore

Hi Everyone,
I have stock rom with franco kernel. Yesterday I reverted back to stock kernel and noticed that it lags now when I wake it from the unlock screen. I did a factory reset, but the lag is still there. This was never there when I had it from the begining. Should I flash the factory image?? Can the backup stock kernel get corrupted?

Try _motley's reset kernel, it restores other files that may have been changed too

Edit.. Note the link is the 4.2.2 version, check his thread if you need 4.2.1 reset.

after using franco kernel, you have to reflash your rom then kernel. franco kernel hides tweaks inits ramdisk. flashing another kernel on top will not change this ramdisk, so you have to flash your rom first(no wiping anything).
As I stated above...can I just fastboot then flash the factory image??

You can fastboot flash the OEM boot.img; I'm guessing you fastbooted Franco's kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=&d=1361814949
Flash this reset kernel which has the INITFRAMS.
all will be ok.
You don't have to reflash the whole phone.

Either way, you can just flash the stock boot.img via fastboot and you're good to go.

I suppose I can...however....I currently have a chromebook (ARM)...dunno if I can use fastboot with it. I wanted a solution I could do straight on my phone, like, flashing CWM recovery, then downloading the stock (rooted, CWM flashable) ROM...and flashing it.

Could you clarify this for me, If in the future I need to do it? So, after leaving franco kernel, i.e. If I'm using franco kernel and wanna go back to completely stock again; before flashing stock I'll need to re-flash the current rom that I'm using, to re-flash the rom's kernel and this way replace the ramdisk to the stock from rom? If I'm wrong, please correct me; you guys are awesome!

yes, kinda. reflashing your rom will replace francos ramdisk. all the other kernels use anykernel, so dont have ramdisk included. generally, its only after using franco kernel do you want to do this, the other kernels you can flash right over each other. anykernel kernels grab the available ramdisk. theres plenty of stock/aosp rooted roms here on xda, any of them should work for you.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid ROM Question

I have finally decided that I am going to root my nexus 4, but since I'm new to rooting I have a couple of questions.
My first question is that if I'm already on stock 4.3 so do I still have to update the radio and bootloader like it says in the PA developer forum?
My next question is what are some good kernels that can be used with PA. I was thinking about franco so I could improve the screen colors but I'm not sure if it will be compatible after reading about JSS and JWR.
Any help would be appreciated.
No need to update the radio and bootloader and use the JWR PA Halfbreed Kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
The kernel that comes with PA (calibrated halfbreed) is pretty good IMO so basically just factory reset in recovery, flash the ROM, wipe caches and reboot.

Is the kernel already with the ROM? Does this mean I don't have to flash a kernel? If I do need to flash the kernel can someone give me a link to it.
Sorry if my questions seem stupid I'm new to this.

Nope it comes with the rom. You dont need to flash one.

Custom 4.3 Touchwiz rom's and old bootloader

As title, looking for the 4.3 touchwiz based rom's that work with the old bootloader.
Almost all custom roms you can flash from recovery won't update your bootloader. I recommend omega.
Read OP of any rom and you will sure notice that the bootloader will remain untouched after flashing.

There will be no issues like lack of sound, wifi etc?
Been using GE roms since the new bootloader was introduced but I have read posts from users having problems flashing new firmware with old bootloader, or is that just for the official roms?
As long as you have the latest modem (MJ5) there won't be any issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48972299&postcount=18311 - Check the installation instructions.

I'm already using that modem so might just give it a try.
Thanks for the help.
Be sure to have the latest philz touch and you're good to go!
Flashed Omega V19, all working.
Definitely not as smooth as the GE roms but it 's not bad, also it's nice to have the Samsung Camera back again.
Also give echoe rom ago, I'm on old bootloader and mk9 modem, working much better than 4.2.2 stock

Thanks, might give that a try as Omega just started rebooting randomly..
Will try another kernel, if that doesn't fix it then ill try echoe.
All custom roms since 4.3 gave me random reboots once every couple of days.
I'm currently running omega v19 and the uptime is 48h.
Well I got Omega stable with KT kernel, but found the lag a bit annoying so tried echoe rom anyway.
Sadly the lag is much the same, I guess it's a feature of touchwiz and nothing can be done about it.
Why havent Samsung fixed this? it's almost the same as the original roms that phone shipped with.

[Q] How to flash different rom with other kernel?

I'm currently using the i9505 GE ROM but it's causing lots of problems (random reboots, can't make phone calls) so since I am new to custom ROMs I don't know how to safely flash another rom if the one I am using now is using a different kernel. Help

For each rom has instructions on how to install
These are really basic question. You should already have know the awnser for it, before you started flashing.
Forget about kernels etc for a while. It's not important for you.
Just fully wipe and flash the rom you want with the custom recovery.

I know it's basic but I don't know where to find the answers.
So is it safe to flash the stock rom while i'm on a GE faux123 kernel?

Yes you are mixing things up.
A kernel has nothing to do with flashing roms. It doesn't matter on what kernel you are in order to flash.
So forget about kernels, it's not important for you.
