Kernel 1 v 1: Franco kernel vs Elemental X - Nexus 6 General

Mainly heard about these two when looking for kernels. But which one would you prefer if you had to choose?

How bout you just try them both out? All of these kernels devs are great and a topic like this shouldn't be made in my opinion, so you should just try them both out and pick the one that suits you best.

i use elementax, mostly because i can oc to 3033mhz stable. but both franco and elementalx are great kernels. but it would all depend what you are looking for.

I've tried both kernels on multiple phones and roms. Personally I like franco, but I've supported both devs by purchasing their apps. Without these guys we wouldn't be able to be crack flashers.

on multiple phones it wouldnt matter, they arent nexus 6 . and yes, they are very good developers. and yes, there are even more of them here on xda

I wish we could get some @ktoonsez love. It was/is a solid kernel as well.

Try zen kernel. Try all.of em. To each their own.

I always used ElementalX kernel on my old HTC One M7, it was great. In spite of that, I'm actually using Code_Blue on the Nexus 6, mostly as it is well-known for its good impact on the battery life... and it has just been updated!

i paid for both franco and elemental app.
but in the end i use leankernel.

Any big benefits too the kernels vs stock

Code blue

You are seriously missing go out if you limit yourself to just those two, there are so many great kernels for shamu it's almost too much. My personal favorite is lean kernel, but the others are all good. Try several out, and use them for at least a few days each. Also, make sure you are ONLY changing the kernel to keep everything else constant.

necessary its not, but it does let me enjoy the phone that much more. plus it doesnt really affect my battery life, since i see from 5.5-6.5 hours sot every day at 3033mhz/300mhz. its just a keeping me happy sort of thing, thats all

Elemental all the way. They are indeed all great kernels though.

Currently the best custom rom?

It really depends what you're looking for in a ROM. There are a lot of different ROMs that are currently available depending on what you want. Whether it's a stock feel (AOSP ROMs), customizability (AOKP, PA), CM10 of course, and more. I highly doubt anyone has tried all of the ROMs that are out there so go into the dev sections and do some reading and see what you like! :good:
Really too subjective of a question to ask. "Best" is the ROM that contains everything you're looking for.
The best custom ROM for me is CM 10.1's nightly builds. The best custom Kernel for me is franco.Kernel. Both together = awesome (for me)
Thanks guys . I realise its a subjective view but thanks for replying

Whatever ROM you choose, I second using Franco kernel :good:
I've been running a CM10.1 nightly with no custom kernel, its been pretty solid. I might have to check out Franco's kernel though, I'd like to try out undervolting for better battery life and heat at some point.

I've always understood this, but never really knew where to look. Is there some place that has a list of all the kernels and ROM projects and what their goals are. User reviews would be pretty handy as well.
As others have stated, this is very subjective. For example, I'd recommend AOKP. Not because it's the best per se, but because it's the one I'm using and I'm quite happy with it.

There is a list here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003731
But you will have to read up a little on each one for specific features, bugs, and user reviews. Many ROMs with lots of features sound great but in practice aren't the most stable. Most bugs get ironed out in time by our great dev's, but its something to consider. When in doubt, flash & check it out!
For the record I use schnip's AOSP ROM w/ Tablet UI + Franco.kernel = clean, fast ROM with tablet interface. Can't ask for much more.

I honestly couldn't tell you since I don't own an OTG cable but you can flash franco's kernel and test it. If it doesn't work just reflash the ROM (without wiping) and you'll revert to the original kernel without losing any of your apps and data.

At this point, I've gotta give it to AOKP. Lots of customizability and very smooth and quick. Rotating 180 degrees has no noticeable lag for me.
Paranoid Android is one of my all time favs in order to maximize your tablet space by altering app DPIs etc (not that you need to with a tablet this large). MMuzzy's ROM is a nice AOSP replacement which is what I'm on currently. As far as kernels go, it's really up to personal preference. I'm on KTManta (ktoonservative) and it flies though sometimes I get the lockscreen (black) of death - not waking up from lockscreen. I bought Franco's app ages ago before I got a tablet and can vouch that he also builds a strong/stable kernel.

Want to root

I would Like to my nexus 4 with a rom that will boost my battery life, give me a bit more customization in my settings and, most important, is stable. Also if there is a particular rom/kernel combo that would work better thats cool too. I just got my N4 a couple days ago. I'm switching from a galaxy note 2 that had some hardware issues (long story). I like this phone other than I feel like its a baby switching from my giant phone. I appriciate any help.
Thanks

not true, its the best for you. just as i can say trinity kernel is the best.
Like simms said, the best would be to try as many ROMs as you can, or until you find the one that suits you the best. It takes some time, but it's worth it when you actually find that One that suits you.

I honestly do not understand such a mentality.
It takes a long time and a lot of work to try out all these roms on the forums, it should be understandable that many people would rather just ask the community for opinions, surely you are right that each of us have different preferences, but we can contribute our own opinions so the OP would at least have somewhere to start.
Personally I`ve tried a lot of roms, and ended up sticking with rasbeanjelly because it`s the fastest and most stable for me, saberMod was also good but i prefer rasbeanjelly`s blue theme. I`ve spent some time with PA and other feature rich roms, but the initial attraction quickly fades and they do become boring and irritatingly slow compared to the cleaner, less bloated roms.
as of kernel I`m using Franco atm, my phone dislike the newer trinity releases but many older trinity versions were really good, but for me franco is the best right now.

And this is precisely why these types of questions are redundant. They're like asking 'what's the best colour' or 'what's the best type of food'. All you've done is given a bunch of opinions which are in no way provable and if I disagreed with every one of them then your post would be invalid. For example, your point that feature rich ROMs become slow after a while is simply wrong, I've been using PA for 2 months and it's been fast and stable for all of this time, and I have no reason to get bored with it. Also imagine that you were a dev. You've put in hours of work to produce a ROM for FREE and release it for people to enjoy. Is it fair that people would suddenly start saying that your work isn't good to new users, on a public forum for everyone to see? No.

[Q] Which rom is currently the best for nexus 4?

I have switched from HTC One X because I hate its quiet speaker sound and GPS jumping around. So far i am really happy with nexus 4. Currently I have it stock rooted. But Im just wondering if I should flash a Custom Rom because I am currently really happy with stock root. But is there battery improvements .etc. with other roms.
I have my eyes on Cyanmogen and paranoidandroind but I think they both are buggy?

There is nothing like the best ROM.
For one person best is stock, for another, best is heavily modified.
Personally i use AOKP (milestone1), and for me it's virtually bug free, with healthy dose of improvements over stock, which I got used to on my old One X
basically this is nexus, so pretty much all ROMs are stable
they're built from exactly same source as stock. it's not HTC where published source code won't even compile properly without intense troubleshooting and fixing.
Both roms have been around for a quite along time so bugs are at a minimum level or none at all. Every rom will have a few bugs here and there that's why there are releases to fix them. Both CM 10.1 and PA are pretty stable and prefect for daily use.
If you're happy on stock then there's no need to flash a custom rom. There's no such thing as "the best rom".

another of this best topics...There's not a thing like "best" rom, what you can find however, it's a rom that fits your needs better than others. If you think the roms you're looking at are buggy, then don't use them, custom roms are always a work on progress unless it's a final version, so deal with it.
Both roms have a complete changelog and you can find what's working and what's not. they bring different things to the table, for me Cyanogen+franco kernel do the trick.
Interesting answers I guess i'll stay stock for a bit longer. I was tempted with custom because battery currently is alright. But just wondered if there was a custom rom with like battery improvements.

a lot (or at least some) of people report, that battery life is much better after re-flashing stock rom. apparently something to do with factory flashing method. after reflash they gained extra few hours between charges.
personally can't say much as i didn't ever boot my nexus on stock, oem unlock was the first thing, and straight after flashing custom.
about kernels - try franco. He's got years of experience with custom kernels for different devices. Plus a lot of new settings to play around (when using with his paid app, but IMO it's worth it) - voltage, frequency, display contrast, gamma etc... tons of useful tweaks.
Kernels alone are worth it for the screen color adjustability. Try a bunch of roms before settling on one, most are plenty stable.
Depends on whether your looking for customization, or performance. Not saying it's the best ROM/Kernel combination, but I use RasSaber with franco.Kernel currently for performance :good:
After trying some different ROM's I settled on SentinelROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233740
It has ROM+kernel tweaks and gives good battery life and performance right out of the box. Plus it's based on CM 10.1 source, but optimized for the Nexus. So for me it was the best of both worlds, and I'm very happy with it. It's very stable fast and gives you 48 hours of battery with moderate use.
I have to say... I was skeptical about rooting my Nexus 4 because I didn't want it to mess up in any way but then I saw ParanoidAndroid3+ and immediately rooted my Nexus. I've been playing around with it and it is awesome. I haven't bumped into any bugs or problems yet. I'm very pleased! :thumbup:

[Q] Optimal Setup for Nexus 4?

Hi!
I got my Nexus 4 three days ago.
My Usage Specs -
I use my N4 mainly for internet ( WiFi, sometimes 2G ) and a little bit of gaming. I make occasional calls and text rarely.
I don't use WhatsApp or Facebook.
I'm using STOCK ROM+Kernel.
I'm getting around 10-12 hours of battery life, with 4-5 hours of screen-on time.
Now, I want to be able to over/under clock & volt my CPU+GPU. This is to increase battery life and increase performance, as required.
It looks like too much choice is very confusing. So, I'd like some experienced suggestions and recommendations.
So, which _ should I use? ( And, I've already narrowed down the choices a bit )
Kernel - Faux, Motley, Franco
ROM - AOSP(Stock), CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, Xylon
Also, should I use Battery, CPU, RAM managers? If so, which ones?
What are some cool, useful N4 specific apps?
Any other tweaks and tips? - You can link to other xda threads, if available.
I will be unlocking and rooting tomorrow, once I decide which kernel+ROM to use.
Thanks!
Ram and battery managers are not necessary. You have 2GB of ram. Battery saver apps do not work. besides you said you're getting 4-5 hours of screen time. That's great!
Download greenify. It's a great app.

I use Paranoid Android with its stock kernel. For me, no other rom can compare to Pa on the nexus 4! Not even cyanogen mod is as fluid, stable, and efficient. With my current setup I get around 16 hours battery life (5:30 am-11ish pm), with ~5 hours screen on time. I don't use any task killers or memory managers. I just make sure to force close all my apps when I'm done with them, and I reboot the phone every 24 hours to keep it at its maximum performance. Although my usage is slightly different. I use my phone mainly to browse the Web, text and occasionally snap some pictures and check instagram. Hopefully this helps you out a bit

Trinity and Franco kernel works great with PA. And so does semaphore. I use Franco kernel mainly because I get more screen time than any other kernel I've used. Franco kernel delivers a balance between smoothness and great battery life.

Okay, and you use PA too?
Also, how does the kernel affect smoothness? Shouldn't the performance be the same as long as you don't change clock speeds? Or is it due to the new governors that the kernel uses?
Also, what about motley kernel? The thread is very spartan, and I can't glean much info about it.
Has anyone tried Xylon? - it looks efficient.

I've tried the Franco kernel before but I find the stock PA one to be perfect as far as colors go. I've never had an issue with smoothness using it and I don't even worry about clock speed or governors. As far as xylon goes, I found it to be very washed out using the stock kernel that comes with the rom, again in terms of display. When I ran xylon for a few days, I ran into a few hiccups in performance that weren't acknowledged, even when running with different kernels. I've also tried AOKP, Cyanogen, and axiom, but I always return back to paranoid

HI!
So I have experimented and tested most of the major kernels and ROMs.
AND..... My selection/combo for now is:
kernel - Franco Milestone 2
ROM - Carbon 1.7
I tried Paranoid Android, but I didn't really like their interface adjustments.
And, just CyanogenMod is boring, IMO. Xylon, too.
Carbon has great customisation, and the specific adjustments that I like.
Thanks for the help!

Drivers with code from Code Aurora. They *may* fix stuff like slow WiFi speeds and delayed notifications. I personally use them but if you don't experience any problem with WiFi then I suggest flashing the normal ones. :fingers-crossed:
Try Matr1x kernel, gave me the best results when I tried through different ones.

My internet speed is 4 Mbps and I don't use my WiFi to transfer files at all.
At the moment I'm getting the speeds I can technically get. So those won't help me, I guess.
Also, I've been running R140 without any problems for the last day.

They're pretty much the same really. But Matr1x does wonders in benchmarks. I would love to use it however I need those Prima Drivers badly :S

[Q] For you all, Faux or Franco is better at all?

As the title
which you will recommend to use?
faux. I usually get better battery life and longer SOT. Others might disagree of course.

there are the recommended settings in the 2nd or 3rd post in faux's thread. First check which version of the kernel you want to use, being; mainline, turboboost mainline or ultimate and apply the preferences whether you need performance or battery

No particular reason why I am using Franco's Kernel. Using the Linaro one right one and battery feels quite long and the phone feels really smooth. Haven't tried any of the latest Faux kernel's.

i am using the faux kernel,
i was compare it to the franco's one. faux is better with its app , faux has many setting to the kernel.
Just my opinion:good:
Faux. Here's a screenshot from today on the latest beta. And I get 3-4hrs of battery even with media apps(YouTube, browser, etc). The ROM is uxylon in case you were wondering.

totally stupid, agreed. but.... i always jump at an opportunity to share my opinion. franco is solid and stable and fast, but i dont like that im not able to tweak my interactive governor and and hotplugging settings quite how i want. i hear faux is awesome, but after trying to get my colors right and failing bad, i give up. i would give it more of a chance without faux colors, its just too many options to spend the time trying to make the screen look good. currently on trinity which is giving me everything i was looking for.
What's the better kernel? threads aren't allowed. By the time you get enough responses to this thread to be meaningful, you could have flashed both kernels and made up your own mind.
