Good kernel to go with?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a good kernel for my nex7. I'm running latest paranoidrom with stock kernel. Basically i want to OC and keep my tab smooth(and tweak it here and there). Battery is not that important to me. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

try them all, they are all good. find the one that you and your device likes best since every device will react differently with every kernel. i prefer trinity kernel.

In my opinion for me personally, the kernel is the most important custom feature because everything I like jacking with is kernel related.
I like motley's kernels, trinity, and faux's kernels. I run Motley way more than any of the other ones, it's just a really nice and easy combination with really badass performance on my tablet. I try to run every experiemental kernel from trinity too just to keep myself in the loop.
To start with I recommend Motley's 1.11. and try builds 218 and 219 which are the same kernels with different max GPU speeds.
Simms is a kernel expert, he gives out a ton of good advice in the kernel threads.

Thanks for the advice. The reason why im asking this is because on my gnex I started my kerneladventures with franco, and this messed up my ramdisk causing me to reflash my phone. I just want to make sure that it doesnt happen again on my nex7. On the galaxy i run faux kernel, i didnt know it existed for the nex7?

Motley's anykernel installation method makes it real easy to avoid conflicts by not overwriting the rom's ramdisc and things like that, I would strongly advise getting your feet with with his kernel.
Also, make sure you're following the original development section, faux's kernel is in there along with the others.

thats because francisco was defaulting to fsync off and barrier=0 for some time. thats a tricky combination that could cause problems if you ever crashed. he doesnt do that anymore. fsync off is much safer when barrier=1

Any good kernel suggestions for 4.2? I tried m kernel and faux but both dont seem to fit in alk the way...

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.

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.

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.

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] Changing Kernel from Franco to Trinity

Hi
I am new to this and recently installed franco kernel on 4.3 Jelly Bean. I was wondering how do I change to Trinity kernel from TWRP menu I have installed on Nexus 4. I understand that I need Zip and then from TWRP I can install, but can anyone you has done it advice me?
I am looking for what I need to do in TWRP?
I am looking whether I need to go back to stock Google Kernel?

since you are coming from franco kernel, this is what you should do, via your recovery..
after you download what you need, reflash your rom(dont wipe a singe thing), the gapps(if needed), and then trinity kernel. then reboot. if you are coming from any other kernel, you dont need to reflash your rom, just flash the kernel in recovery then reboot

Thanks a lot
So in this case I should just install trinity kernel as I don't have any custom rom installed and no gapps. I hope I am right as all I did was just installed Franco kernel on stock phone and that's it!
Any cache erase etc etc before i flash new kernel?

no matter what anyone tells you, you NEVER have to wipe anything when flashing kernels, dont wipe dalvik, dont wipe cache.
well, its best to flash your rom again if coming from franco kernel, it changes your roms ramdisk. trinity grabs the available ramdisk. by reflashing your rom, trinity would grab your roms ramdisk instead of francos. but, most likely youll be fine just flashing trinity on top

Thanks again
When you say ROM, are you referring to stock ROM?
I guess I'm getting confused between which ROM you are asking me to reflash.

go to the roms main settings, developer options, force gpu rendering, disable the disable hw overlays if they are enabled. if you dont have a developer options in your main settings, press about phone, scroll down, press build number 7 times. when you get the you are a developer now message, go back to the main settings and go into developer options.
the reason this happens is because you are running stock, which is jwr(build version) and aosp is jss. they are slightly different(some different drivers). this difference cause this. most custom kernels are jss, aosp based. franco kernel is jwr, stock based. this difference does not happen often on a nexus. btw, jss is the newest version of android. the majority of custom roms are also jss.

OK this is what I have done
I have dine as you had told and checked the box that states "disable the he overlays"
This fixed my problem but I hope this doesn't have any other effect ..
How can I install the aosp built instead of jwr ?

this seems to work.
One last thing i like to inquire is that to install the raspberry, they recommend clean wipe and then install gapps and rom. Would this erase my current backup of franco based system image i created in TWRP?
And If I wipe clean, how can I install the raspberry rom ..its all wiped isnt it!!!

Thanks @xthaparian and @simms22, I had already decided to take this weekend to try some stuff on mine, but your tries made me more forward to do it. I must confess of all my past androids N4 is, for obvious reasons, the one which has more releases to try, and ofc a lot of tricks in the way..

no, your nandroid backup stays, your data gets erased though. its like starting fresh. the storage wont get touched(dont wipe the system). as soon as you log in, go through the google setup, your play store apps should start reinstalling(if you enable it). most roms will jave this or something similar written in the op.

I downloaded all as instructed ..
I am on raspberry
I'm on trinity kernel
Let's see the performance .
One thing I noticed is that this kernel jas all 4 cores running and max is capped at 1024hz.
Also the governor is set to ondemand.
Any thoughts on this. Any other tweaks I should do to make it much better. Franco kernel was using interactive governor.
Also the GPU is ocd to 485 and stock is 400 max.
Any comments to tweak the kernel better or Tue stock setting are good!

Shakey Kernels?

So I am very new here and I just managed to get a kernel to work after 2 days of hard effort lol. I am using Fraco Kernel on my Nexus 4. I tried two other kernels which are the Trinity and Matr1x kernels and when I load either of those the screen is "shakey" whenever I swipe through the pages or drawer pages and it just doesn't feel right. Please help? I delete the dalvik and cache each time I load a new rom. Any help much appreciated!
Also, for the best balance of battery saving and performance which is the best kernel? I want to UV as well to reduce heat and increase battery life slightly. And what is the best looking kernel?

and there is no best kernel. every device reacts differemtly to every kernel. whats best for me coukd be worst for you. thats why we tell people that you have to try different kernels, to find the bbest kernel for your device and your needs. its actually not even allowed to post whats the best kernel threads on xda. as every person believes that the kernel that they are running is the best, and eventually starts arguments.

The under volt is likely causing the freezing. If you're using JSS, then it has deadlocks that cause temporary freezes. Some kernels have deadlock patches like Neo kernel & Bcm W4.

Recent GPU updates to CM prevent it from being compatible with most kernels. Supersu is flashed via recovery just like the ROM, and I haven't heard of the color issue before. Use stock cm kernel if you wanna use CM.

Kernels that support Fauxdisplay?
Hello,
I'be been using Mahdi for a long time now and love it. I'd like to test out some other kernels, but don't want to lose the ability to run Fauxdisplay for color correction. Can anyone suggest kernels that support it? Will any kernel with "gamma control" work, or are only some of them specific for use with Fauxdisplay? Thanks!

Most kernels use faux's gamma control, some use Franco's, just read the feature list of the kernel which should be in the opening page of the kernel thread.

Will development of Mahdi ROM stop after kitkat for Nexus 4 or all devices... Heck I wouldn't mind getting a Nexus 5 or OPO just to continue to enjoy Mahdi ROM!

@mahdi always release excelent ROM
great performance,smooth and stability
THANKS..

As someone else also pointed out.. Clean flash and try or else flash a another kernel like Semaphore or any other (wipe cache and dalvik after fishing) and see if it fixes it for you. Without logs there is not much one can do.

It is just a final build for kitkat as Lollipop is about to come out. If Mahdi got some time to spend, maybe he will be building for Lollipop. All of us hope he will be building for lollipop. Just chill out dude. Enjoy the last version of Mahdi's kitkat till L come out.

Are you using stock kernel that comes with the rom or you are flashing other kernels? If so, maybe you undervolted too much.

Hells doctor is like hellscore afaik. The default is undervolted by 100mv. Try raising it a bit.

Can anyone recommend gamma calibration settings as I am trying to get the Nexus 4 colour profile to something like Obsanity or Kel Ghu (Gamma 2.2) profiles.
Gamma settings for changes made within Mahdi Rom I do not want to use other managers or kernels.

ART
Can I switch from Dalvik to ART in this Rom ?
Or can I brick my phone ?

I'm coming from a Vanilla rootbox, 4.2.2, can I install directly this one or I need to install a stock 4.4.2 before?
thanks

Gmail crush
I'm using the latest version of Mahdi Rom and Gmail is crushing every time I try to compose a new email. Gmail app is the latest version.
Any idea how to fix this?
