[Q] CM10.1 stable & Franco kernel - anyone tried it? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I'm running CM10.1 stable because I don't have much time to test the latest nightlies and need a stable phone. Everything works ok, but battery doesn't seem to last as much as it did when I had the stock ROM (Google's 4.3 ROM).
I wanted to try Franco Kernel to see if it helps with battery. Has anyone tried it with CM10.1 stable (Android 4.2.2)? It should work accoding to the Franco Kernel thread, but I wanted someone to confirm if it actually does, and maybe hear some opinions. Thanks!

Ah, thanks. Do you think it helps with battery life? Also, I should flash these ones, right?

Yea in my situation it has helped with battery life. I average 11 to 13 hrs on battery. I'm running build 163. For some reason the link you placed I couldn't click so here's the milestones http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/4.2.2/milestones/
If you get the chance try to look for in the thread for build 165 as that was the last 4.2.2 release and more recent than the milestones

Thank you very much. Build 165 seems to be in http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/4.2.2/
I'm going to try that one. Thanks!

Using milestone 3 with cm 10.1.2 stable and definitely notice better battery life. I only flashed it last night but so far im at 15 hours on the battery with 3 hours of on screen time and its only at 50%.

have you flashed any of the CM6 nightlies yet? the last 4 or 5 are using a new kernel that vastly improves battery life. there are also really awesome features that are not in the first iteration of RC2.
if you're not happy with kernel in the latest cm6 nightlies there are other options as well. go to the Android Development section and flash invisiblek's latest ASOP kernel (#17). it's gives wonderful battery life.
hope this helps.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid + Franco Kernel

Just wondering how the battery life and performance is with this set-up. If you feel a different kernel gets better battery life or performance with ParanoidAndroid, please let me know. Any comments and suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
PA + Franco is excellent.
PA + Trinity is also excellent.
Both are great kernels that deliver great performance and long battery life.

Hi,
I think you should ask about that in the GS3 thread.

I've tried all the kernels. I'm on the latest PA as well. Motley's was the best for me I regularly get over 4 hours on screen and 12-20 hours total time. I'm a pretty heavy user, I use like at least 1gb a week. The key is to always have your screen brightness at an optimum level and make sure there's no stupid syncing stuff like facebook. I only sync gmail, contacts, and calendar for 3 gmail accounts. I have "faster" binned CPU if that helps at all. I use trickstermod with a -75mV UV. Diff phones react to kernels diff. Try all of them to see which is the best for you. Most of the other kernels gave me similar battery life to stock which was about 3ish hours on screen and 12 or so hours total time and some didn't respond to UV well. Good luck with your journey :good:
my bad!

oops, my bad! ok i will move this to SGS3 thread, thanks!
hey sorry guys for bothering but im a noob at roms. i just installed PA but cant figure out how to install franco kernel as well. its an .img file but clockwork mod wont let me use that file. thanks
...Personally after just switching to franco kernel with PA from the stock mako kernel I've had a pretty shi**y experience. Today my phone lasted only 10 hours with 50 mins screen time... wtf?? I'll definitely be moving on thankyou. I have a fast binned CPU and I do run alot of auto syncing apps.. however on the mako kernel all things equal i could easily get 2-3hours screen time and 18-20 hours of battery on time

Franco also has .zip files for CWM/TWRP. img files need to be flashed in fastboot mode.

marmite_v8.7 or the default kernel of cyanogen??
or if yor are any advice...
thanks
I would advise to stay with the stock cm kernel. For the past few weeks cm has been working very well, performance-wise.

ok i'll try !!!
In the post of cm 10.1.2 i've read about franco'kernel, how about ?
Yea stay with CM kernel especially if your on CM ROM
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Ok let me make this clear. Marmite is not bad at all. But I don't use it for two reasons:
1. I flash daily. Flashing another thing daily (the kernel) is too much of a hassle for me.
2. I did have some small problems with it, but they might have been just random.

What is the most stable combination you had/have?

Hey guys. Me and my friend here (both have the N4) ave rooted and all. We wanted to install a Custom ROM with a kernel. So by far what is the most stable kernel-ROM combination you got? ROM is a 4.3 recommended and PA is also welcome (but i think it still has bugs but i can live with it). Since they're too much ROMs to try.. I was hoping I woulf do the flashing etc after my exams are over. Peace!

if you want a stable rom you should try cataclysm rom. it looks like a stock rom and there are a lot of features in it(and those feature is unique,in the sense of you can hardly find all of those feature in other roms), Simple,but quite satisfying.
But if you like to customize your phone a lot, this won't be a good choice, you should try Paranoid Android.Hit the thanks!

Thanks for the swift reply bro really appreciate it... If u could tell me another thing, please... I guess I would go with Paranoid Android's latest build. Which kernel do u recommend? Im sick of these dull/washed out colors of this screen aswell... Know any good performance kernel with that color adjuster? I know PA comes with Franco but still it would be nice if you would suggest me one

I think Franco is good. Using another kernel might make the rom unstable. And a wrong kernel could brick your phone

Dude this is a nexus. Any kernel works with any rom as long as you dont use a 4.2 kernel for 4.3 rom for example.

For me ,the best combination was on CarbonRom 1.8 Stable with Franco Kernel M3. Now I have stock 4.2.2 JDQ39E rom with Franco kernel M3 also ,and I think that performance with stock is even better.
Thanks all. I think i'm gonna take a plunge into PA really appreciate the feedback guys but still if someone can tell me what makes u have the new colors?

You can try PA by stock itself, or like me, although I like QS and Navbar with Option button, but then I still like Stock JWR with Franco's 174.
I'm using this combination to go to my 4 days trip.

Hold your horses, I thought PA works on JSS? The kernel is not compatible. The only JWR is the stock, Cataclysm and those stated in AD section but there isn't much too.

Doesnt matter as long as you dont install a jwr kernel. You can just flash a jss build over a jwr build if you want. Only if you combinate a jwr rom with a jss kernel or vice versa you will have some screen flickering.

Are you sure? Hmmm. I got experiments to conduct when I'm back.
Personally I still prefer Stock and Franco .

It's very unlikely that the ROM mentioned above is actually very stable, the first build for the nexus 4 just came out last week.
A better answer is to use CyanogenMod 10.1.2 Stable from here
Francos kernel is general pretty stable but the stock CM kernel will probably be most stable.

Dude all users of the rom say its very stable. Dont blame me for your lackness.

Okay so I think I should remain stock just for a while right? Cuz i see many roms still being unstable and all. We have XPosed framework so i might be able to do most of the stuff PA can do.. Or just go with Cataclysm rom thanks to all for ur wonderful responses i really appreciate that

[Q] What is the most stable Cyangenmod Rom?

Hey guys i was wandering if someone could help me out, I am interested in installing Cyangenmod but there are so many different versions.
I was hoping a few of you could give me you experience of using CM i.e. bugs etc.? Which version is the most stable?
I am running the UK Snapdragon 800 N9005 version..
thanks.
I can't say for other roms but I'm running temaseks cm ROM. Works on both bootloaders as well. Stable as hell for me.
