[Q] Searching for Kernel manual

HI mates,
I'm searching for a link/doc/manual on how to install the latest Franco Kernel to my JB 4.1.1 GN, I've read several posts and couldnt find a guide on how to do it; also I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341, but no guide on how or what kernel to install.
Please I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks a lot.

if its a zip file, flash it in recovery. if its an img file, flash it in fastboot. until you do a bit more reading and educating yourself, i dont think that youre ready quiet yet. but, thats your choice. just be careful when asking for help in the franco kernel thread without first educating yourself :silly:

Meaning, I just copy the a zipped franco kernel to 'sdcard' on my GN and install it from CWM Recovery and that's it? It'll boot on the new kernel? It reminded me when I had HTC running xdandroid, everything was smooth and easy

yup, thats it. unless its in a .img form, since francisco likes to do that sometimes. if its in .img form, then you need to fastboot flash it.you have a nexus now, its the easiest to modify

Well, I installed Milestone 4 and after installing it I sent it to reboot and it's now frozen on the 'Google' initial screen, should I allow sometime to the Kernel to read the hardware and stuff or its just screwed

was it in zip or boot.img form? maybe it was a bad download. to get back up, either flash a known good kernel or just reflash your rom(in recovery). it shouldnt take more than a minute to pass google.

Its was an ok zip file, how can I access recovery mode? I used to access trough a program called QuickBoot, but since I can't access the userland anymore, how can I access it?

Hold the volume keys and then the power key to enter the bootloader
Then use volume up or down to navigate to Recovery and hit the power key.

pull your battery then reinsert it. then power button + press in between the high and low volume at the same time. this will take you to the bootloader, then chose recovery. anyways, you should give trinity kernel a spin.

Especially now that I got used to the default color setting.

yup, that is right. its just rebuilding your dalvik cache now. after it rebuilds it, itll finish booting

The first and foremost reason to change kernel for me was battery draining, I will try this M5 for a week or less and later on will try Trinity, thanks a bunch mates

what about the firmware sir? i use firmware58

OK first remove kernel from extracted zip... Then re-zip rom. Flash kernel in fastboot... Boot into recovery using either Vol. Down or the back button... Depending on kernel. Once inside recovery. Clear data, cache, & dalvik. Once those are done... Install from sd.

Going into recovery you have to continuously press back button when you boot phone... You should feel it vibrate.

I have a bootloop at the launcher chooser
I follow all the instructions correctly
I've got a Xperia Play root and unlocked bootloader
I see another have the same problem... is this a bug or I do something wrong ?

Check the zip. Make sure the files meta-inf & system are the first you see when you go into zip. If not you need to rezip to where the extra folder is gone.

Fw version will only make a difference to signal, data, battery ect, it still boots on other FW. Anyway to the point, do not use ics kernel bootlogo takes an extra couple of seconds to come on on JB kernel. Because u say u flashed lupus-isc-beta im assuming u know how to flash kernels. Ive probably flashed this over 50+ times since v2 with both flashboot (sdk) & flashtool. Did you try the kernel below the ROM Downloads??

Im not sure what u mean "launcher chooser" its not a bug buddy 99.99999% user error. If you mean CWM then the only bug on that AFAIK is the screen jumping. If you cant boot at all try the pac kernel which is below the rom downloads

[Q] FreeGee ??

I have the international LG Optimus G..
Can I use FreeGee for any thing ?
Will it give me CWM ?

seriously, how have you not found the info you need by searching? It's not like you're new either -.-
Anyway, it lets you unlock bootloader, gives you twrp which is a prefectly good replacement for cwm.
Cm 10.1 can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229806 and http://get.cm/?device=e975
They are not the same. I'm using the one by chad

Yes, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212323&highlight=freegee
To boot into recovery:
Power off
press volum UP + power, this gets you to the fastboot menu.
Now, press volume down TWICE, then Power.
Yes, only those two CM 10.1 so far. When most of the bugs they have are sorted out I think we can expect some different ones to show up (slim bean, pacman etc. I really don't know though)

Will I be able to flash new bootamimations ect like on Samsung Galaxy S3 with CWM ?

Is it posible to do full backup in TWRP and always have options to go back to stock rom ?
Will the ROM MANAGER backup/ Restore work or only in TWRP ?
Can I Lock bootloader again if it needs to be repaired ?

I think so, look in the theme & apps section. I tried changing the font through rom toolbox pro, gave me a softbrick. so be cautious.
Yes, you can always make a nandroid backup when you want. Just like cwm recovery
Well, rom manager is based on cwm, but nandroids should work regardless, you can set twrp as your recovery in rom manager.
I think you can relock the bootloader by using the kdz method to restore your phone to stock. Pretty sure its been asked before.
You can NOT use twrp recoveries in cwm, and vice versa!! Also, I have no idea how to get back twrp after flashing to cwm recovery without using a kdz recovery. Which basically wipes your phone.

Ya once you unlocked the bootloader and custom recovery installed yu can able to change the boot animations....pretty simple process.....yu can even do it without unlocking the bootloader nd witout custom recovery too but ur mobile must be rooted to do this process....using terminal emulator nd proper shell scripting its possible also we can use ly root explorer for this....

[HELP] problems with JB (4.1.2.)

Hello!
I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 ( GT-I8610)
I installed JellyBean on it, and now I think I made a mistake.
Its official version, but my phone since the update is much slower and it laggs :/ If i want to open cam - i have to wait like 5 seconds untill it opens and then 5 more until controls appear...
Tried to put back 2.3.6 but after flashing GB phone just gets stuck in bootlog and I cant do factory reset or anything.
Is there maybe any other way how to optimize speed of my device leaving the JellyBean on it ? Maybe some good custom roms or something ?
Because I mostly need a FAST DEVICE not one that looks good with the new UI etc... and is so damn slow.
P.S. Tried rooting and removing bloatware - no effect. still works slow as hell.
thanks.

or you can use my zip file for you,just run the batch via admin
& it will do rest
what you need to do is
copy the working recovery.img in c drive by making a folder named adb & rename that recovery to cmw.img
now extract the zip content to that folder & run the fastboot.bat file via admin
if it supports fastboot then it will load into that recovery mode,then do your operation.

Tired waiting for someone to repack kernel with your favorite version of recovery? Or tired to run recovery script every time you update your ROM or kernel? Now you don't need any repacked kernels or recovery-scripts. Use your FOTAKernel as recovery partition!
It works on any kernel with extract_elf_ramdisk utility (it's built in mostly all kernels for custom ROMs, but I am not sure) by @Dees_Troy. And don't forget, that you are doing on your own risk, I am not responsible for bricked devices, acid rains or thermonuclear war.
Installation:
Download zip and flash it via your current recovery. If your current recovery is unusable, you can flash it via terminal emulator:
- Extract FOTAKernel.img and place it to the root of your external SD-card
- Type su and grant root access
- Type
Code:
dd if=/ext_card/FOTAKernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
- Reboot to recovery to test if it works (if not, try again and check if you are doing it correctly).
Download:
TWRP 2.8.4.0 (thanks to @Rohan purohit for compiling it for Xperia L, I just ported and modded it)
TWRP 2.8.0.0/CWM (or scroll down, it's right below this post)
You can restore original FOTAKernel image by following instructions in this post (or just scroll down, it is 3rd post, lol).
Some info:
Sony Xperia devices don't have recovery partition. Instead of this in custom kernels is used recovery-in-boot conception with two-stage boot (ramdisk-recovery is packed inside main ramdisk). And there is partition called FOTAKernel that is used for installing official FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) updates. After unlocking your bootloader it partition becomes redundant, because you cannot use OTA function anymore. So it may be used for storing recovery ramdisk. And this very useful future was implemented by recognized developer @Dees_Troy (lead TWRP developer), he developed utility extract_elf_ramdisk (it is merged to almost all kernels for Sony devices), it extracts recovery ramdisk from FOTA partition instead of using regular one from boot image. So even after updating or changing your kernel or ROM you don't lose your current recovery! Here is some info from Dees_Troy.
BTW, I don't own any of this work, I just adapted recovery images for using them from FOTA partition. And recoveries are not compiled by me.

How to solve image unstability in FOTA TWRP?
Hello @cucumber09. I've been trying your FOTA recovery, which I consider a great solution for our device, but I'm facing image unstability while in recovery: the screen flips and flicks horizontally making it very hard to tap correctly any option, and could lead to fatal errors. Could you please tell me a solution? I've tried flashing several kernels/traditional recoveries, but when I make it work satable in recovery, then the OS does'nt boot (bootloop). I'm using stock 4.3 15.4.A.1.9 ROM, unlocked bootloader, rooted, with Xposed Framework and Gravitybox module.
Also I've tried many KK and LP ROMs but I always return to stock 'cause I can't stand glitches and gaps while listening to my favourite tunes.
Thanks in advance,
e-bert.

Your problem is using the stock sony rom, it doesn't support FOTA recoveries properly, as soon as you switch to any other rom the FOTA recovery will work.

All hail to all cucumber..
its so frustrated to install kernel only for recovery..
and its more frustrating when your phone not responsive because incompatible kernel.
i recommended to install this trough recovery..
more reliable and low risk..
if you cant install from recovery (signature verification failed), first install another kernel to get unsigned recovery (niu kernel example)..
its a long way, but i'm prefer this than risking my phone because wrong command..
tested in resurrection remix rom 5.1..

Installed fota twrp with terminal, it freezes
So I did just as it was written. Installed it with command thru terminal on a CM 12 rom on Xperia z2.
It did work, for approx 10 seconds. I reboot in recovery, got first the screen for
CM recovery, before it changed to twrp. When I got there, I couldn't press anything
And suddenly it reboot into normal again. Dunno what it can be?!

Stuck on cyanogenmod boot
Flashed it and now i'm stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen

CM recovery, before it changed to twrp. When I got there, I couldn't press anything
And suddenly it reboot into normal again. Dunno what it can be?!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is for Xperia M, not Z2. So it won't work on it.

@Neemac i think z2 have official fota twrp, so why you not use them?
