Flashing a different kernel - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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.

[Q] Bricked Kernel and Minco

Hey, guys
so i tried to flash the minco rom.
which worked fine but when i flashed the bricked kernel
it was stuck on the google logo for ages.
Is there anything wrong with my download?
or is the kernel not compatible?
I thought one of the main features of MinCo is Franco kernel and you are saying that you flash another kernel... Why not using another rom then?
To your question, how about flashing a reset kernel first then the bricked one?

Restore your latest nandroid backup
if you want you can use rasbean jelly. its like minco v6 but optimized for trinity kernel. im using minco though. flash a reset kernel first then flash your own kernel of choice since franco kernel uses a different ramdisk then the other kernels i believe

Kernel help.....

Does anyone know if there is a stock cm10.1 kernel floating around with ParanoidAndroid colors compiled?

I believe Matr1x has that integrated into the kernel and you can flash that kernel with Cyanogenmod no problem.

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.

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

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

Can't flash Kernel

I'm running CM 10.2 Nightly 9/27/2013
I'm trying to flash Franco Kernel Plus R184 but everytime I flash it, it goes through but ends up reverting back to the CM kernel. I tried flashing stock Franco and it still does the same.
I'm still looking for help on this matter
Gotta download the alternate kernel he provides.

I thought JWR doesn't work with CyanogenMod.
