(4.3) Franco Kernel with PA 3.98 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am running AOSPA 3.98 and need to install franco Kernel. In the downloads for the kernel I see separate Gapps to be flashed. So why do I need to flash the PA Gapps first and then the ones with Kernel?
I basically don't get the idea, sorry for my ignorance

Oh come on, no one?

Flash ROM (assuming you wipe first), flash gapps and then kernel.. That's it.. Oh and use jwr kernel from Franco for PA..

You can flash kernel before gapps. It doesn't matter. The ROM always goes first though.

No no, you don't have to flash a separate gapps if you have already flashed the PA Gapps. I think the gapps available for download from franco is for his own rom.

Thanks for the replies, I figured I was a total fool to consider them as mandatory to flash.
All I needed to do was flashing the zip

Updating from cm7 7.0 to the newest nightly build.

Alright, I know. It's here somewhere, but Google, and the search here aren't cutting it. I am on the old cm7(Emmc) with the old kernel, and I want to update to a newer nightly build. How do I go about doing it? I am afraid to flash a new nightly because of the kernel. Does it flash with the new build? I am running smooth now, but wanna try out the working USB. Thanks......

Just do a nandroid, flash the latest nightly, clear the caches. you are good to go. the nightly contains the new uboot and kernel.
Make sure you also flash the latest 6/13 gapps after you flash the latest nightly.
Im also going to update from nightly 87, .29 kernel and 1.1 uboot. I want to install nightly 117 or 118. I know the new uboot gets flash automatically. So just to clarify steps. First install nightly then kernel 6/30, gapps. Clean cache, wipe dalvik. Correct?
What about updating Clockwork Recovery? I've seen some people talking about it -- is it actually necessary?

Use Rom Manager to update clockwork to the latest. Can also use it for flashing nightlies... or RC1.
if you wish to check out usb hosting, you'll need to flash dal's new kernel 6/30 and his awesome app nook color tweaks

[Q] Custom Recovery and Kernel's

I'm curious what everyone thinks the best Recovery is for the Razr M and what are the best kernels as far as functionality, battery life, and speed.
I haven't played around with installing custom kernels and ive been using the CWM recovery on my razr m and im currently running the AOKP custom ROM.
Dead Calm, arghhh kernel

I think cwm is better than twrp but I am prejudiced by having wiped my extSD in one of the newest versions. See my signature link for an older BETTER version.
I like TWRP 2.6.0 and I had been having great performance with Carbon ROM 1.8 running the arrrghhh kernel. Currently though I'm having issues running arrrghhh kernel with the Carbon ROM 4.3 nightly (runs smooth with the provided kernel) and yes I did use the CM 10.2 version. I'm sure this will sort it's self after a few more updates.
***edit***
as of 8/16/2013 the arrrghhh kernel and carbon rom nightlies now work together properly

When installing a custom kernal, do i have to take any special steps such as wipe dalvic etc..? Or simply just flash zip from cwrm?
Making a backup and wiping cache and dalvik are always a good idea.

[Q] will installing custom ROM overwrite custom kernel?

Sorry this is a total newb question
I currently have stock ROM with Franco kernel.
I would like to try out CM and have downloaded the zip file and copied it to my sdcard partition to install using CWM..
If I install the custom ROM, will the Franco kernel remain intact or will it be overwritten?
If it will be overwritten, what steps do I need to do to install the Franco kernel again? (Can I simply install CM and right after that the Franco kernel (both using CWM?))
Thanks
Yes it'll overwrite Franco kernel. To get it back after flashing cm, you simply flash Franco kernel again.

Don't think so.

It will overwrite your kernel and replace it with the roms built in kernel.

[Q] how do run latest cm 10.2 nightly with latest franco kernel nightly

I wanna run these two together but when I install Franco it messes up the screen color....
Plz help

youre mistaken, its not franco kernel that messes up your screen color, its your cm10.2 nightly.
cm xhanged its sourse from aosp to qualcomm, so running any asop kernel in cm will give you that effect. only cm based custom kernels will be fine. theres a temporary flashable fix for this floating around, if it still works that is.

COLORFIX zip : DOWNLOAD
Press thanks if I helped you.

i flashed CM10 colorfix for the 4.4.X based CM11 variant but seems it'll restart the session after the boot animation

I'm using the US Cellular version which is the single SIM xt1607 and I've had no trouble unlocking boot loader and flashing twrp or any Rom, in stock Rom I was using xposed as well. Currently running axosp room with no issues.

Thank you bro. I previously used an MTK device and i know about flashing and rooting. But never used custom kernel. Can we use custom rom without any custom kernel? or is it necessary that i have to flash custom kernel for every custom rom?. Also give me links of bugless roms for our device?

I've been using the ASOPEtended Rom and have had no issues. Download can be found in the main Android development thread. As for custom kernels. I've been using squids kernel, but you can use the kernel built into the Rom with no issues

You flash the kernel just like the rom,I would flash the rom, then open gapps or bean gapps. Next I would flash supersu which you can find by doing a search of the forum, wipe dalvik cache, start finish setup then flash squid kernel. Also download kernel auditor from play store to get the most out of squid kernel. Helix kernel is another alternative based off squid kernel. Both squid and Helix allow you to change several options to improve battery life and performance.

Thank you bro. Installed Aospextended But there was a bug, camera and videos are stopping at a point. I flashed Helix kernel(Didn't tried squid kernel) then bug was gone, now everything is fine. I will try kernel auditor. Thanks for the guidance
