To be honest. If you don't know where to find a kernel and how to flash it. You should not be flashing anything and you should sit down and read some more.
And as for best kernel for your ROM. That is impossible to answer. You find that out yourself through personal testing.
I will cut you some slack and say kernels are in the same location you found the Slim bean thread.

And that's the biggest thing. We try to prevent users from bricking their $600 phone. I was in your place 2 years ago with my GS2.
Lets make some progress. Since you have slim bean you must have a custom recovery, cwm twrp, or philz. For 4.3 aosp there are really only two kernels. That is Ktoonz and Chronic. For customization Ktoonz is a good kernel. You have to download the right one which would be the AOSP 4.3. I'll give you the direct link so you don't have any problems flashing.
You just download the kernel. Go into recovery and find the zip file then flash. After successful flahsing you should wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot phone and you should be good.

Why make a thread ? Anyone who uses CM9 reads the discussion thread (or at least they should), and anyone else probably doesn't need to know about this.

Works great from now
this is news, and news are good to be shared, people came here everyday to look for something new, if mod wants to remove/lock the thread its up to moderator. i can't change the fact that its moderators choise to lock or not lock this thread
I can confirm that it works perfectly fine with siyah kernel 3.3.3d

If I flash this, do I need to do a full wipe? Or just dalvik cache? Literally flashed CM9 last night, and now RC2 out LOL.

No, you don't. Just flash the update and reboot. It wipes cache and dalvick, which will rebuild automatically on reboot, but your data is untouched. Easy as pie.
Hello,
I am running CM 10.2 (latest nightly). I flashed the franco kernel r191 for the first time and it bricked the phone. The boot animation won't come up. It gets stuck after the Google logo. I would appreciate if you could help me out. Fortunately, I had a full nandroid backup and was able to recover my phone.
I use the TWRP recovery.
Thanks.
You need to learn what the definition of bricked means.
a bricked phone is worthless and unrecoverable, it makes a great paperweight/door stop. flashing a kernel that wont boot is not bricking a phone, and not close, and there are many ways to recover from a non booting kernel, nandroid restore being one way. you can also just flash a good kernel or your rom to recover.
Thank you for clarifying the definition of brick. I did not know that. Please feel free to chime in regarding my original question. Thank you.

What IS your question? From what I've read, you were able to restore your nandroid, right? Just don't flash that kernel if it messes things up.

try a different franco kernel. are you sure that you pucjed the right kernel? 4.2.2 kernels dont boot on 4.3, and 4.3 kernels dont boot on 4.2.2.

According to the author, I am supposed to flash the one that has a JSS tag in the file name. http://franciscofranco.minooch.com/Nexus4/4.3/zips/
I am sure I downloaded the correct file and flashed the right version. Since I am new here, I am not allowed to post in the original thread, which is here:

I would like to know whether there is a way to flash the franco kernel on CM 10.2. It seems to be buggy. I wanted to post my question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002782
But I need at least 10 posts to ask my question there.

no. custom kernels no longer work on cm properly, if at all.thats probably is the reason why franco kernel wont boot. cm changed their base code from aosp to qualcomm a few weeks ago, and that broke the ability to use custom kernels on cm. custom kernels are based on aosp, and qualcomms code breaks stuff because of it.
Thank you so much! Now I understand why.

Started a couple of days ago. Not sure if the r191 is the cause or the cm 10.2 nightly.

As said previously CM is the cause, Franco still remains AOSP based, you can try hellscore kernel, Google it, it as a nice reputation for amazing battery life and has a CM version of it.

I don't even like the way that term is used to be honest. To me a soft brick is more or less something that requires a JTAG.
A bootloop or a failed boot just isn't any type of brick at all really as far as I'm concerned.
You really should change the title of the thread. Franco does great work and really does not need to be slandered. After all cm is preventing your device from booting not Franco's kernel. If you want to rant maybe you could change the title to cm bricked my phone

Boy who knows, could be.
But you should ask this on that dev's ROM section.
Also while you're on that tangent it has been discused dozens (if not HUNDREDS) of times in that forum that the KT kernel DOES NOT WORK ON ALL devices. It may work for some but certainly not all.
Spend some time reading through the ENTIRE thread and you'll find the answers you seek.
Good luck.

Try all the kernels and see which one is the best for you. And no halo, that is a ROM feature.

This cannot be answered by anyone else except YOU, since kernels react differently to different phones. The experiences are never exactly the same.

You need to search. Ktoonz, and Negamans kernel are the only custom kernels. Then there is stock NAE kernel.
