You did nothing wrong. Franco kernel just makes your phone awesome in the internals. Franco kernel doesn't have its own boot animation if that is what you are asking. Its not a new rom...

So how do i known i have it¿
I have nothing new in my settings and it stated quite quickly after flashing

What did you think would happen? You can't "see" a kernel, if you flashed it you're running it

Go to Settings>About phone and the kernel version will have the franco version as opposed to what was there originally

You make a good point.
Sorry for the open nobbiness
So how do i control the voltage, clocking etc...?
Do i need an app?

Hi,
You can use franco.Kernel updater.

The kernel is the engine of the "rom", to exploit the kernel modified as under / overvolt and under / overclock or change colors or have any other goodies you get other applications like "SetCPU" or in this case "franco.kernel updater" provided that the "rom" does not allow to do these things by default

1. Your internal storage will not be deleted.
2. GApps is the Google Play store apk file. It's a flashable file.
Have you tried turning wifi on through the settings menu and not in the notification drawer?

Try wiping cache and dalvik, then fix permissions and reboot.

Not sure, but maybe there is a difference in the ramdisk and that's why wifi hasn't functioned.

What Do your Mean difference in the ramdisk?
What i need to Do?

Some developers provide a reset kernel if coming from a kernel such as franco which makes ramdisk modifications.
If not you can do a full wipe and flash the whole ROM again with kernel and then flash the kernel of your choice.

u don't need to wipe all.
just flash this revert: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1951201&stc=1&d=1368195077
wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.
now u can flash m3 and have the wifi working.

[Q] What should i do to flash stock kernel?

HI all, I have a Rooted N10 (Android 4.3) with KTmanta Kernel and stock ROM. Before installing KTmanta kernel i made a Nandroid Backup. Now if i want to go back to the Stock Kernel what should i do? Is it SAFE to flash the "Boot.img" in the original nandroid backup? I believe it contains the kernel. Thanks in advance.

It's fine to restore the boot.img from your backup as boot.img does contain the kernel. What I usually like do in this situation is I download the stock 4.3 boot.img (Which can be extracted from the latest Nexus 10 factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjwr66y) and then flash it in fastboot with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will restore your stock kernel. Let me know if you still have questions.

I am much thankful for your help Infact, I do have a question related to flashing kernel. I have read in related articles that after flashing any kernel you must perform the following in the CWM recovery: 1. Delete cache 2. Wipe dalvik cache 3. Fix permissions.
I am using CWM Recovery 6.0.4.3 (the latest for N10 downloaded from CWM website) and it doesn't offer the option of FIX PERMISSIONS. So the last time i flashed KTmanta kernel i couldn't possibly use option no. 3 above. My N10 is running smoothing without any issues. But the thing is, I am asking because I do want to follow the steps as directed by the author of the kernel or the ROM. Thanks in advance

When your flashing a kernel in recovery it's important to follow the directions provided by the kernel developer. Deleting chache, and wiping dalvik cache are essential to ensuring the kernel runs properly and doesn't bootloop your phone are you flash the kernel. As far as fix permissions this utility was removed for recovery because the way it was implemented was outdated and broken, fix permissions is more of a helpful option rather then a necessity in this situation. If you really want to run fix permissions you can download and run Stericson's Fix Permissions App. If you need me to clarify any of my points or anything else let me know I'll be happy to do so.

Thanks again for your prompt reply I don't think i really need to run "fix permissions", as long as my ROM is running good. I am happy that I at least know how to do that in case i am in real need of running fix permissions. God bless you

[Q] CM10.2/11 guide/tutorial -- are these steps right

I've been trying to find instructions for installling CM11 (or 10.x for that matter) on my Bravo. The only guides/tutorials I find assume that I know a lot that I don't. Can anyone verify if these instructions are correct? I've included links to where I found each step.
Step 1: Install Drivers
Download and install Bravo drivers from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481/action/auth
From link in this thread by josuearisty: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559109
Step 2: Root and bootmenu and recovery
Follow the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817842 also by josuearisty.
This roots, installs bootmenu (2nd init) and a recovery image.
Just running runme.bat you will have a Bravo ready to use new roms in less than a minute.
Instructions:
1. Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?yfgvds9a1w8sbds
2. Extract files whenever you want.
3. Enable USB debugging (menu > Settings > Applications > Development) and connect your phone to the PC.
4. Run runme.bat, in folder Root+Boot-AIO.
5. Press Enter when script ask you to do it and READY!

Step 3: Install GApps and ROM
Get the CM11 Bravo ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036 by Quarx.
This also has a recovery (or an updated recovery?), is this needed? If so, how do you install this?
For CM10,10.1,10.2 < 07.11.13 users:
To install KitKat, need update recovery. Do not forget reboot, after install recovery.

Google Apps are available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857 by BaNkS. Is this step optional?
If you have problems and brick phone the recovery or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559109 by josuearisty.
Finally, instructions for using bootmenu from: http://motodefynbravoromguide.blogspot.com/
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: You must be on a froyo rom or higher to install this.
Copy the gapps and the cm zip to your sd card.
Boot into 2nd init(voldown on blue LED).
Use volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select an option.
Select Recovery.
Select Custom Recovery.
Wipe cache, data and dalvik cache.
Go to install zip from sd card and then select choose zip from sd card.
First select the cm zip and install it.
Clear cache and data again.
Now install the gapps zip.
Hit reboot and set up CM!

Does that sound right? Thanks!

Actually I had to install CM10.1 first, then install CM10.2 and last was to update the recovery.
After the recovery update I was able to install CM11.
So far so good. the only issue had been the crazy battery drain because the default clock have far to much voltage.
A little tweak and the battery is been drain like before (hardly a day of battery).
Any how It nice to see the latest version of android in this ol phone and see it work as my daily driver

One more question, how do you update the recovery?

Here's steps I took from stock.
Root and boot
Flash CM7
Boot and then recovery
Flash CM10.2
Boot and then recovery
Flash recovery update for bravo
Boot and then recovery
Flash CM11 and gapps
Bravo recovery
http://quarx2k.ru/cm11.0-nightly-kobe/update-kobe-recovery.zip
CM11 gapps, must use these
http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2//1-16_GApps_Core_4.4.2_signed.zip

ilmcgee, that's the sort of instructions I'm trying to understand. There's too many assumptions in what the user knows how to do and very little to no way to gain sufficient understanding to understand that abbreviated explanation.
For example, how does one install a new recovery image? It sounds like with the recovery from the (probably out of date CM11 build) that you don't need to progress through the other CM versions.

The Bravo's bootloader isn't unlocked so you must progress through newer roms to update the recovery. As far as I know, the recovery update must be flashed on twrp 2.6.3 and is not a standalone recovery. I do not pretend to understand how all this works, I just try to read and follow the guidance of others before me that know a lot more.

Not able to install ANY custom roms?
This seems recent thread seem to be the closest to my issue.
I have followed the same information as noted on this thread but have not been able to install ANY custom roms. I have tried to install 4 different versions ParanoidAndroid and CM7.2 Kang (and CM10.2 though I understand that it would not work directly from rooted stock). For PA, it seem to install but does not and boot back into rooted stock. For CM7.2 Kang, I get the euroskank bootloop. Which I had to use RSD Lite & *.sbf to reinstall stock, re-root, etc. Spent half the day at it and am lost.
I have had half a dozen Android phones which I have rooted and install custom roms on and I have no idea why this is not taking. Tried TWRP and CWM and same effect. Have even used the Bravo Recovery app as well but also the same.
Bought this phone for my parents and am planning to change it to a seniors phone. Thought I update it to the newest fast stable rom beforehand.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!

From stock you just need to do the root and boot and then get into your new recovery, volume down at the blue led. Once in recovery make sure to wipe battery, dalvik, cache and do factory reset. Battery and dalvik wipe are in advanced options in cwm. Then install your rom. Always be careful flashing sbf, most dangerous part, I prefer to use linux when flashing sbf.
And as far as new and stable, the cm7 roms are really your best bet for this phone, imo.

4.4.1? why are you flashing incredibly old nightlies?
Also it sounds like you flashed from a very old CWM build which likely didn't set selinux contexts properly. The included Omni kernel has a recent TWRP, reflash omni and wipe using that.

Flash this file in recovery:
http://ge.tt/7mJqhvw/v/0?c
Then, reboot to recovery again and perform a full wipe (factory reset/data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe preload). You'll find those options in various places there, so dig around. Once that is done you can flash OmniROM and Gapps
and @zachdees - you most probably didn't do a full wipe, so do those steps above and it will work for you too
