Question about franco kernel ????

Hi everyone!!! Everytime when booting my phone, it's stuck on Google Logo, I have to to fastboot it with franco r14 kernel in order to get it booting done. Is there any way so I dont have to fastboot everytime I restart my phone, flash to stock kernel or franco r15 ???
I tried to flash faux123 kernel but it just did not work, stuck on Google logo...

If I recall correctly, franco kernel uses a different ramdisk so before you switch to another kernel you have to return to stock (kernel)
I suggest return to stock kernel, then flash franco r15.

This is what faux suggest to use to reset to stock kernel, for stock ROM only.

If you're in franco, before you switch to another kernel you have to return to stock kernel.
I don't know why you're stuck with Google logo in the first place with franco, but if you're just switching between kernels, especially when there is franco kernel involved, return to stock kernel will likely solve the problem.

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.

[Q] Flashing kernel issue

I recently rooted my nexus 7 and now im trying to flash clemsyn's kernel to it, however i haven't been able to get it to work. I've tried rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvic cache, then installing from zip, but it always fails. any idea why?

You flashed it on which rom? I think it's not compatible with your rom.

Ensure you read the OP of the thread to verify that the kernel is compatible with the version of Android that you're using. Remember, always RTFM, even if you think you know what you're doing.

Do you have to flash a ROM before you flash a kernel?

Roms include a kernel and will overwrite the previously installed kernel. If you want to flash a custom kernel in conjunction with a rom, you always flash the kernel after the rom.

Oh! That makes sense. I'll try that later and see if it works

wrong phone kernel?

ok first i installed the SACS CUSTOM ROM then ChronicKernel AOSP-JB4.2 and now my phone starts up slow and it has a hard time loading TWRP some one please help my phone is acting up.

First off this Sac's is a TouchWiz and NOT AOSP ROM.
If you flashed the wrong kernel it won't boot right/well if at all.
I haven't tried Cronic's kernel on TW, and I do know he said it 'should' work on TW but I don't know.
You can try loading ktoonz TW one.
Also.
Were you on MF9 firmware(s) before you flashed?

You can't flash 4.3 because MF9 is 4.2
As for firmware what where you on before you flashed this?
You can always flash the firmware, flash, flash the ROM then flash the kernel and see if it gets going.

Hello, you have to update your touchwiz rom to MF9 before you root it then you can install Sacs23 custom rom. His rom already comes with a Kernel I think its Agats so you dont ahve to flash any Kernels....so what i would suggest go to settings on your phone and about and check to see if you see MF9 firmware. if it does just go ahead and do a clean install, and you should be good to go.

I9505 KT-SGS4 won't boot

Hi!
After months of using my S4, I decided to flash custom ROM and kernel. Unfortunately, after flashing KT-SGS4 kernel, my phone gets stuck in Galaxy S4 logo and keeps flashing blue LED. I've tried using CM11 and AOKP, same results.
I hope, someone know how to fix it, thanks!

You have to factory reset when installing a custom rom

I know, I'm always doing cache and data wipe. Roms are working correctly, but when i try to change kernel, this happens.

Then you are flashing the wrong kernel. There are 3 different types of that kernel.

I tried all of them in case if this one was wrong, maybe if there is said aosp, aokp is out of reach.
