Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where we can download or view a list of current and previous Franco kernels? I'm using r25 on the Nexus 7 for example, but preferred the stability of r23. I of course forgot to backup anything before moving to r25. Definitely my mistake, but I thought it would be very handy to have a list of previous versions and can't for the life of me find it.
I've tried searching the forums and online but can't seem to find anything on this.
Thanks!
Nevermind...
Gah. .Nevermind.. figures I just realized they're all available by the download link on the Franco thread. I was originally using the Franco Kernel App and not directly downloading from xda. I can flash r23 myself now..

Hi,
so, i'm looking for a good kernel for my N4, but... I can't really decide. I heard that franco and faux's kernel were good, but i can't see why. What's the difference between those kernels ? What's the features ? What's the difference between the stock one, and those one ?
Thanks for your answers !:good:
I'm running the matr1x kernel and I've liked it. I tried the others and this one provided the best battery life.

bricked kernel is the best!
look at this!

Sorry to bump this post, but i'm still looking for the pros and the cons of each kernel...
I didn't find any changelog or features for franco's kernel, and faux's kernel seems good... But i don't have my N4 for the moment... So i can't test them ! Thanks for your answer
Franco's kernel gets a changelog posted every time he does an update, it just isn't added to the first post. If you use his app (free version available) to download the newest kernel, the changelog is given through that as well.
I don't know how Franco compares to other kernels since i haven't tried them, but all the standard options seem to be there. Latest update added gamma control.
I believe every device reacts differently to kernels. I personally get the best battery life from Matr1x.

First off, yes I have read this in the original kernel post
8. My Wi-Fi is borked, doesn't turn on, haz gray bars, drains battary and killed my parrot. Fix plz."
A: This Kernel has stock Wi-Fi drivers, same as stock Kernel. The problem is YOU and YOU alone. Probably installed some wtf Kernel with some wtf Wi-Fi drivers. News flash, fix your derp and stop spamming this thread with nonsense. By the way, gray bars only means you're not connected to Google servers, but your Wi-Fi works just fine.

But this is not my actual problem, I guess.
My Nexus 4 kernel history. I only used stock or franco kernel, no other kernel whatsoever.
With Android 4.4 I got back to 100% stock, complete wipe, using the "nexus root toolkit" (Back to Stock (Flash Stock + Unroot)).
The only change to my device, rooting it, apart from that 100% stock.
With 4.4.3 I decided to try franco kernel again, it was either r201 or r209, not sure anymore.
I haven't used the fraco app for a long time. The last time I used it was when there was still a beta and a stable kernel option.
Anyway, I installed franco kernel, and my WiFi issues started, but not like mentioned by franco.
So what's the issue?
Kernel installed, phone is booting, all looks fine, WiFi is connecting, all good.
As soon as I leave the WiFi area, the problem starts. The WiFi menu doesn't show any WiFi, just searching for WiFi.
When I try to turn WiFi off, the button moves to the left, but will remain black and nothing happens.
When I close and reopen the WiFi menu, WiFi button is still on "on" and WiFi is searching.
A complete phone reboot is fixing the problem, WiFi works just fine, until I leave my WiFi area again, this is also happening with any other WiFi, at Work, at my Friends house, at Starbucks, just any WiFi.
As soon as I flash Stock Kernel back, with the "nexus root toolkit" (advance options, flash stock kernel) WiFi is working fine again, all problems solved.
Today I tried again, but now with Android 4.4.4 and r210.
I have the same issue again, exactly the same.
For now I am back to stock again, but I would like to use franco kernel.
Is there anything you can thing off, that went wrong?
What could I try to fix the issue?
Thanks for help in advance,
MiLeX
This is the exactly same issue that I had on hellscore kernel. By any chance, are you on a custon rom? Cm11 maybe?
I couldnt find any solution for that, so I stick with matr1x kernel. No problems and I am happy ever after I also think stating that this is the users problem is quite rude. I mean, what is a kernel after all if only a few people can use them? And the other question is why do others kernel work and this one not?
However, try matr1x kernel and see what happens
so you've flashed stock ROM, then Franco kernel, and then r210? And no WiFi? What was the last ROM (and android version you used)?
In the nexus root toolkit, did you have "don't wipe during flash" enabled?
Are you flashing boot.img or installing zip?
What recovery?
Edit: nvm I read more details and don't anwer the questions you answered in OP

On CM11 it simply won't boot, and the colours would be borked.

I used to have the same issues with Neo kernel (oh the good old days) on my Nexus 4, but the only difference was the issue would start randomly at any circumstance. Are you undervolting or anything? Any custom WiFi manager like Chainfire's Pryfi?

I come to think it is caused by the android version.
Would you mind testing something out for me? Flash the following kernel: matr1x and hellscore. If hellscore didnt work, I am sure it is a kernel issue and you could do nothing about it

As the Kernel is not for 4.4.4 I would expect issues. Well I do know there is barely a difference from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. but anyway.

Bootloop on DirtyUnicorn
Hi , nice work. I've been using HellsDoctor and the battery life is just amazing... but, when I try to flash TARDIS I got bootloop.
Running DirtyUnicorns[Du_mako_4.4.4_20140823.v.7.9-OFFICIAL] and 3.4.104-hells-Doctor-R6.
I am sure I've followed the steps and also I tried some combinations by myself but still isn't working.
Thx in advance.
Which kernel version
I'm using "fiui ROM" -http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-fiui-nexus-01-10-2014-t2892753
Please suggest what version of your kernel will run on it. I tried the latest versions and i'm getting bootloops.

CM version
Hello, and thanks for this awesome kernel!
I was trying to flash Dirty Unicorns and Hell's Doctor today, but all kinds of strange behavior ensued. (namely: I lost my display, while ADB could see the device normally).
I flashed the CM version, so am I correct to believe that I should flash the AOSP one?

I will answer my own question here, based on the search in DU's thread:
We need:
- AOSP kernel version
- Revert_4.4.3_Wifi_Fix.zip from http://bit.ly/makostuff (thanks @gorilla p )
and If you want to flash TARDIS, chose CAF dalvik libs.
Tested with HD3_R6 on DU 8.1 & 8.2 and all is well.
Hello,I just wanna ask is this kernel working on aosp lollipop? Which version should I use?
I would also recommend checking out Unleashed kernel along with the latest UKM 3.5 for Synapse.
What does this mean. Every time I open synapse it pops up.LRX21M with hells Dr3-R6.

I have clean flashed Lollipop on my N4. Can I simply download the kernel, tardis, and UKM and flash them as per usual, like on KitKat?
I've read through the original thread and it appears some people are talking about a "permissive" boot image? What for? Do I need it or not?
How do I flash this on a clean Lollipop install? It's not clear.
Thanks for the help
I'm having problems with the battery like someone reported before.
The Wi-Fi seems to appear active even if I shutdown.
Some search boxes when are suggesting options the image appears strange.
As I am a new user I can't post images.
Can you include volume rocker wake phone, please?
@AnaguaMateus The volume rocker is included in the N5X-ROM
I'm using this ROM and it has very cool features, I recommand it A new build is going to be release in few hours
Also a FULL WIPE is recommended if you have those bugs

It means that your N4 didn't shut down properly last time so Synapse isn't applying the parameters you've set in the last session/boot

I think the easiest way for you is to install HellsCore Kernel Manager intead of Synapse, the most important parameters are configurables and you don't need to deal with those permissive boot images, UKM, and flash things ;P

Boot into recovery (hold power for 10 seconds to reboot, then volume down to go into fastboot mode) and then flash your ROM again.
Reboot to see if it boots ok, then flash HD, without TARDIS. If this boots successfully, flash TARDIS, with extra care to choose the correct dalvik (if applicable)
Comparison Of Greatest Kernels For Our Samsung Galaxy SIII(GT-i9300)
For Touchwiz Based Roms Only
Now No More Confusion
Few Things To Know Before Going Through This Post :-
1. This is based on my personal experience with my SIII.
2. ROM-> Glamour V8 prev+S5 Mini V4 Alpha+S5 Sensation V6(A Complete mix).
3. Review on complete stock(Pre loaded) settings.
4. I AM NOT AT ALL TRYING TO INSULT ANY KERNEL DEVELOPER.
Here We Go!
1. Boeffla Kernel beta 6 --- The King
The Best Kernel.
Pros:-
1. Great Stability
2. Good Battery Life.
3. Great Ram management.
4. A helpful screen which displays all information about your SIII.
5. Governers are tunable.
6. Pre-loaded Boeffla Sound Settings. No need to install the boeffla sound control app.
Coins:-
1. No Dualboot.
2. Difficulty in adjusting the touch-to-wake duration timing slider.
3. No pre-loaded LMK(Low memory killer) settings which may create confusions while changing it.
4. Governers are only tunable only if you buy the donation app.
2. ArchiKernel V1.5.2 --- The Beast
The Most Advanced And Heavily Tweaked Kernel.
Pros:-
1. Average stability.
2. Very Good Battery Life.
3. Fast.
4. Options to choose from different sound mods( boeffla and woflson).
Coins:-
1. Not so good Ram management.
2. Buggy Stweak App.
3. "Any Kernel" Method- creates problems if you flash this beast kernel upon any other kernel. To flash this beast you need to flash the ROM again but I have made a stock kernel so that you dont need to flash the whole rom again . You can get it here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/kernel-t2918638
4. No pre-loaded LMK(Low memory killer) settings which may create confusions while changing it.
5. No DualBoot.

Pros:-
1. Best and Great stability as comparison to other kernels.
2. Great Ram management.
3. Very Good Battery Life.
4. Fast and Smooth.
5. Options to choose from different LMK(Low Memory Killer) settings --- (Recommended to set Aggressive option).
6. Boeffla Sound.
Coins:-
1. No Dualboot.
2. Not that good AGNi Control App(Personally I dont like it).
4. Arter kernel v3.1.1 --- The Hybrid
The Amazing Kernel.
Pros:-
1. Good Stability.
2. Good Battery Life.
3. Good Ram management.
4. Full of customization options.
5. Few Governers are tunable.
6. Touchwake manual mode(what i love in this kernel).
7. Dual Boot
Coins:-
1. Difficulty in adjusting the touch-to-wake duration timing slider.
2. No option to tune LMK.
Upcoming :-
Sorry. Busy with my life. Nothing for now.
Warning:- I and other kernel developers are not at all responsible if anything wrong happens with you and your SIII.
Press Thanks button if my work is really helpful for you.

Where is devil kernel?
The biggest disadvantage of boeffla is lack of f2fs support. It is main reason why I'm not using it, and I never will be.
The best kernel for me is arter97's kenrel (kernel, great config app and best way to multiboot), but zram is not working (terrible multitasking), so I'm using Agni pure stock (which is almost that good like arter, but sound quality is a little worse and his app doesn't allow to change mdnie functions).
PS, coins, really ?

IMEI Lost
thanks for this effort, i actually moved to 4.4.4 (back to n00t) but lost the imei after and cannot restore it, i'll try to flash another stock ROM and see.
While your effort in writing and testing is greatly appreciated. But reading this review is like reading a very commercialized propaganda magazine that makes the ranking no sense at all.
How can you rate Boeffla number 1 and the king if it has the most con? Not to mention "4. Governers are only tunable only if you buy the donation app." is putting it mildly. You can't even choose the amount of working core, which you can in other Kernels . I can understand to tune a governor "variable" require donation. But amount of working core is a bit too much. And the description/documentation on some of the preset Governor is confusing.
I haven't tried the ArchiKernel, so I can't comment on the "1. Average stability.". But I don't think Boeffla would deserve "1. Great Stability". I used 3 kernel so far (GoogyMax, Boeffla and Agni), and preparing to test Arter Kernel, but Boeffla kernel is the only kernel that hangs on me - on a good basis when the multi-task become too intensive for the poor 1GB S3's RAM. Sure AgniKernel has some bugs - but coding bugs, no stability issue. And it weird you have "6. Boeffla Sound." under AgniKernel but not under Boeffla itself. And I'm pretty sure Arter Kernel has it too.
I can't say for Arter yet, but having great hope for it, but one of the best thing about AgniKernel is how the developer takes it preset setting for a everyday user's perspective. Not a programmer. Sure, it kernel app is geeky, but it most likely the only kernel that works great just by installing it - off the shelf, no changes needed. The preset ZRAM, memory optimization alone makes S3's crappy 1GB RAM much more usable. This along deserve a better ranking than all other kernel. Just my two cents

If you ODIN back your stock ROM for your specific model and still no IMEI - you're screwed if you have no back-up. Its more risky to try ported stock ROM than custom AOSP/CM based ROMs. I wish all modder would all mention this, since not everybody has the time to keep track what happens on Android all the time. If you lost IMEI and has no back-up, read my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/guide-how-to-restore-efs-i9300-t2726998

Coming from used a few devices, stock/ported/custom ROMs, there isn't much different between the Kernels for stock or AOSP/CM based ROMs, as long it coming from the same developer. There maybe occasional coding bug issue, but lots it related to the ROM itself. Though I might get flammed for it, but remember - stock ROM comes from same root as AOSP too. Manufacture just change and add their own stuff. And in Samsung's case - pretty bad as we all know. Custom ROMs has their problem too, one can only hope it get fixed by it more regularly updated future version.

If you lost IMEI and has no back-up, read my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/guide-how-to-restore-efs-i9300-t2726998

Coming from used a few devices, stock/ported/custom ROMs, there isn't much different between the Kernels for stock or AOSP/CM based ROMs, as long it coming from the same developer. There maybe occasional coding bug issue, but lots it related to the ROM itself. Though I might get flammed for it, but remember - stock ROM comes from same root as AOSP too. Manufacture just change and add their own stuff. And in Samsung's case - pretty bad as we all know. Custom ROMs has their problem too, one can only hope it get fixed by it more regularly updated future version.

Nope, perfectly understandable. The more I try, the more I feel KitKat is just a gap stopping measure for Google. It was quickly abandoned after LP.
4.1 was pretty balanced overall
4.3 probably the most feature packed since 4.x ICS, downside - the more resource hungry one goes to JB.
4.4 this is when Google realize it getting out of hand with the lack of optimization. Its is the quickest response of 4.0 branch and RAM usage is like 4.1 but for me, the battery drain seems worse than 4.3 in actual usage (screen-on activity), than again it could be the Kernel. But for two difference devices and ROM/kernel combo... I don't think so.
I'm on KK now purely because of security. Despite I had Xprivacy, my phone was giving problems (think some malware) and I had to do a clean install after about a year. And I don't install any app or play games after I set everything up. Phone ins't a gadget or gaming device for me, it for work, e-mail and internet - that it. If it wasn't for that I'm more than happy to stay on 4.3.
