[Q] Is nexus 4 running paranoid android and franco kernel possible?

Hi, I have a newly rooted Nexus 4 with stock kernel and ROM but with TWRP recovery. I am kind of a noob when it comes to modifying my phone so any help is appreciated. I want to install paranoid android and franco kernel so that I will have good battery life and features, I wanted to know if this is possible and if so, how would I go about doing this. If there are video guides on youtube, please post links, I couldn't find anything when I searched for this

thanks for your help
Just to add on another question, I was using franco kernel updater free and the latest version I can see in there is 164, I know that this will not work, so what should I do. also I was reading about the whole issue with jss and jwr, so just to make sure, franco r174 is compatible with pa 3.96, right?

Yes PA 3.96 is JWR based rom and official Farnco kernel r174 is a JWR kernel.. So you are good to go.
Flash it and relax. You can find the latest r174 in the OP's thread(original dev section)

Instructions for PA 3.69:
I'm on PA 3.69 (4.2.2 not 4.3) and using Franco nightly r165 which is the same as milestone 3.
Get goo manager from play store and click on "browse by compatible rom" then select paranoid android, then mako and flash 3.69, then download franco kernel updated free from play store and flash it.

I'm sorry to keep asking questions, but could you please post a step by step guide with links to the particular items that I will have to download (ie. radios and additional files (if needed) in addition to the rom, kernel, and gapps). Also seeing that Franco Kernel 176 has also been released for JWR, will that work with PA 3.96?
This is my first time installing a custom rom and kernel so please go into great detail if you can through all of the steps of the process.
Thanks for your help.

See this is what you have to do..
As you are on 4.3 and twrp installed download PA3.96(JWR based ROM so flash a JWR kernel) from original dev section,
Franco r176 kernel_JWR. Gapps latest in the same PA's thread updated one is 20130815.
Installation steps:
Factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
wipe system
wipe data
install the rom then gapps
AGAIN wipe cache and dalvik cache
flash Supersu v1.51(search for it-google)
flash the franco kernel
reboot.
enjoy the rom.:good:
Additional help(optional if you using TB.)
ROOT IS WORKING BUT IT NEEDS TO SORT OF BE ENABLED
1. Enable developer option by pressing build number 7 times in settings>about
2. Enable usb debugging and set root access to adb + apps in developer settings
3. root should now work
Titanium backup may not work on 4.3:
To fix it:
1. In tb go to menu>preferences>backup folder location
2. Press detect
3. Then you will get two options ...choose the one with legacy in its path
4. Then it will ask you to move backup to that folder.... Select that
5. Restart app and restore.

It might be your router issue.. pl check with the settings.. I had also read in the PA thread about the wifi issue so it better you can ask it over there, if you are lucky enough the exact person can help you who had the same problem .

Thanks, your description helped me to set up PA together with Franco Kernel.
Unfortunately, I have lost root access now.
I set the phone to developer's mode, but can't find any option to 'set root access to apps + data'.
I also tried to flash supersu, but after doing that, both TitaniumBackup and SuperSu report that there is no root access.
What can I do?
thanks, r.

FYI, I've solved the problem by myself using Nexus Root Toolkit.

[Q]Recovery required to flash roms?

Hi i have just rooted the device downloaded a CM7.2 rom now im wanting to install it, I have only found a CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery that once flashed is not permanent on the device? i cant use it to wipe data nor wipe cache and mount system, What recovery do i need?

please first clear your problem do you need a permanent custom recovery ? if yes then flash a custom kernel.....or if you want to use your downloaded CWM file ....then place it in root of youe sd card (not in any folder ) and boot into recovery mode by powering of device then press and hold (volume up button + home button+ power bhtton) you will boot into recovery mode ...use volume buttons to navigates and select apply update from.sd card...the. select CWM file and flash it....then CWM recovery will be opend....now do whatever you want press thank if i helped you

trying to install custom ROM
Hi I'm trying to install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913349
(Yes, it is Galaxy Y Pro Duos, but it doesn't have its own section on xda, therefore posting here)
When I'm in the temporary loaded CWM and trying to install the Kernel it seems fine. The operation takes seconds and finishes with DONE!
But after I reboot the OS looks untouched also when I go into Settings it says Android 2.36 ...
Any ideas?

its a kernel not a rom so nothing will look like its changed
make sure you mount system before you flash
look in about phone in settings - it will tell you what current kernel you are using
you can use apps like cpu spy which will give you kernel info and no frills cpu to change freq governor and i/o
and yes it will always say android 2.3.6 when flashing a kernel as you have not changed the android version
and there is only 2.3.6 gingerbread available for galaxy y (stock based) or 2.3.7 (cm7 based)

kernel 2.6.35.7

The phone is rooted, but never unlocked the bootloader, actually never found a way to do it on this phone. This cell has no fastboot so using SDK tools is not a way...

you dont unlock the bootloader like you do a htc phone
it has a file in the zip which does it each time you flash kernel
make sure you mount system in cwm before you flash the zip!

you want permament cwm install cm7 and flash percy kernel.

the problem was solved and had nothing to do with having a perminant cwm
also you dont need cm7 to have a perminant cwm as its kernel related - you just need a kernel that has it built in - for example hells fusion #50
also he was using duos not gt-5360

Unable to get F2FS to work on Grouper

I've got a Wifi 2012 Nexus 7 (GROUPER) that I've been playing around with. It is abysmally slow with stock on it, and I've been reading that an F2FS recovery, with an F2FS kernel and an F2FS ROM and F2FS GApps work pretty drokking well, so well that it's like having a new, factory fresh Nexus 7 and it's supposed to run a lot smoother to boot.
That may be hyperbole I've read, though. But between here, Reddit, Droid Life and other sources, I've read enough compelling evidence that doing this on my tablet would be in my best interests.
However I spent a good couple of hours last night trying to flash the M-Kernel with AllF2FS support as well as an AllF2FS ROM, after flashing the FixFilesystem zip, rebooting recovery (TWRP 2.7.0.0 F2FS) which was recommended, and then I flashed ROM THEN GApps THEN Kernel, which I've learned you want to do in that order because ROMs oftentimes have their own embedded kernel. The M-Kernel gives F2FS support, so I went with that.
Well, I tried everything and every order I could, but I cannot get either the ROM or the kernel to flash in TWRP, nor can I get any success with using the N7 Rootkit tool.
I've given it multiple attempts, even tried other kernels and other ROMs but I haven't had any success.
Are there any experts on this who can either pound out a step-by-step or point me in the direction of one that already exists? I searched the forums a bit but I didn't find anything usable that wasn't outdated by several months.
Thanks,

It should be pretty straightforward.
I would start by upgrading TWRP to the latest, as it has the fixfilesystem stuff built in, so you wont need to do that step.
Download a ROM that has AllF2FS support, and dont worry about the kernel for now, and grab it's associated gapps
reboot to recovery(I am running 2.8.2.0), and under wipe->advanced wipe, there is an option for repair or change filesystem. Highlight System, Cache and Data, and change to F2FS. Run a repair on all 3 after it finishes, just to be safe.
Now you'll need an OTG cable, or micro-USB adapter for a flash drive with your ROM & Gapps - install both like you would normally.
Reboot when finished, and you are done. Easy-Peasy. . . You can go back and flash your kernel if you want

Thanks for that!
I will give it a try later; The tutorials I read before suggested using the 2.7.0.0 F2FS version. I'll try the UTD version.

Hey quick question man, I am finally getting around to this - When I select System, Cache and Data and try to tap Change to F2FS, it says "invalid partition selection" and clears the boxes.

[Q] need help with 2012 Nexus 7

hello everyone,
i have a nexus 7 2012 tab i have had for almost 3 years now and ever sense the last version of jellybean or the first version of kitkat the tablet will eventually lag after a fresh install after 3 to 4 weeks. i have had my tab rooted for over a year now and have tried many versions of stock roms to cyanogen and slimroms and i even tried converting the filesystem to F2FS but it just seems every rom i try it will just get to a point where it lags so much its crippled. right now i am on slimbean 4.3 build 2.2 official 1776 with ext filesystem. i am just trying to get some feedback if anyone knows a rom that is nexus 7 2012 friendly before i reinstal again as i am about to try downgrading to a slimrom version of 4.1 which they say was the original version the tabbed shipped with
any input would be apprecialted

I use stock 5.1 + latest Franco kernel with /data and /cache formatted to F2FS. It works flawlessly for me. Very fast and responsive. No lags at all. For me, it is as fast as 4.4.4, if not faster.

how long have you been using it with that configuration? i ftried using F2FS with lego's kernel with a version of slimkat. it made my tablet speedy but after a month it just slowed back to a crawl

I'm not sure for how long exactly, but it's a long time. I'd say two or three months at least.
Correction: I'm using it since Android 5.1 is out, I don't know when that happened.

cool man would you be able to link to me the directions you used to install F2FS with from your post i'm not sure how to install F2FS with stock. android. i do want to use 5.1 though

I don't remember where I got the instructions so I can't link it. I think I went like this:
1) download the official factory image from google (https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-lmy47d-factory-ee97ce42.tgz)
2) extract it
3) flash it using the flash-all script
4) let the tablet boot android 5.1, skip the wifi and google account setup
5) reboot to bootloader/fastboot
6) download latest TWRP recovery ( http://dl.twrp.me/grouper/twrp-2.8.6.0-grouper.img)
7) flash it using adb: "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-grouper.img"
8) using the volume and power button boot to recovery
9) wipe -> advanced wipe > select cache -> repair or change file system --> change file system --> f2fs
10) wipe -> advanced wipe > select data -> repair or change file system --> change file system --> f2fs
11) in TWRP select reboot --> bootloader
12) download Franco kernel(http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus7/5.1/boot-r82.img)
13) flash franco kernel using adb command "fastboot flash boot boot-r82.img"
13) If it doesn't work that way, download the kernel in zip format(http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus7/5.1/zips/franco.Kernel-nightly-r82.zip)
and flash it using recovery's sideload(advanced-->adb sideload) --> to sideload type this adb command: "adb sideoload franco.Kernel-nightly-r82.zip"
14) After you've flashed kernel, normally reboot the system and everything should be fine.
If anything is unclear, please feel free to ask. I repeat, I don't exactly remember how I did it, but I think it goes the way I wrote now.
Note: Everything you do, you do on your own risk.
Good luck!

thanks for posting the instructions i will give it a try

Now Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.

Open microSD folder and backup TWRP folder to a safe place.
Youe /efs partition is now safe (+/- other partitions if you need to fix some crashes).
5) WIPE PARTITIONS
Go to Wipe > Format Data
Type yes and confirm with bottom right Check icon.
Then go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup from step 2), then Swipe to Wipe,
then back.
Go back to TWRP Home screen > Reboot > Recovery and Swipe to confirm.
At reboot, if TWRP asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
6) FLASH ROM, GAPPS AND MAGISK
Back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose LOS16*.zip,
(if you don't see the files, tap on Select Storage and make sure Micro SDCard is active).
then Add more Zips > open_gapps*.zip,
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
### OPTIONAL FOR ROOT
Go to Reboot > Recovery.
Once phone rebooted, go to Install > Magisk.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 10 minutes.
7) ROOT ACCESS
No extra steps for root. Magisk starts with Android.

8) DON'T USE BUILT-IN CAMERA APP
Using LineageOS default camera app will crash when switching from photos to videos.
Use Simple Camera app included (or Google Camera, Footej camera).
9) EXTRA
You can use GPS Status & Toolbox app for faster GPS fix.
For faster phone, go to Settings > About.
Tap 7 times on Build number.
Go to Settings > System > Avdanced > Developer options.

And Dark mode > Dark.
Enjoy,

Update: Thanks to C0rn3j in the TWRP thread I got it to work with heimdall and pulling the battery.
Great guide, worked well for me except rebooting to TWRP recovery failed with the kernel length error. Tried using the previous version of TWRP and then with the stock kernel but both failed with the same error. Does TWRP work with LOS14.1 on kminilte?

Nice guide! I have been using custom roms on my mini for about a year and never knew mutch about that I can change the filesystem.
However sometimes my phone becomes very laggy, and unresponsive.(Maybe memory settings problems) I tried several kernel settings but did not find the best yet.
What is Your opinion? What are the best kernel settings to our model?

Hi, try not to overclock too much, like 1600 Mhz, cause overheating can slow down phone.
What other parameters did you try ?

Hi. Yes LOS 14.1 and TWRP 3.1 both work very well on my dad's G800F.
You can't boot in TWRP ?
What kernel do you use ?

Latest version of tutorial is available to obtain GOOGLE MOBILE SERVICES (GMS) CERTIFICATION
+ updated TWRP recovery
+ updated Kernel

Do you think LOS is stable enough to propose it in my tutorial ?

Thank you for the guide! It worked really well. There were a number of details I didn't know, like the performance difference between filesystem formats, and everything was very step-by-step and super helpful.
One issue: TWRP 3.2.1 doesn't work with the 6.0 Spookcity kernel. You have to disable the device check to get it to work. Looks like Panzerknakker uploaded one with that change: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77725358&postcount=285

Are you talking about LOS 15? If so, no IMO. It was stable but buggy. I'm actually downgrading back from 15.1 to 14 due to issues with internal storage and battery consumption, and sometimes it would stop charging and require a hard restart..

Hi, thank you very much for your help.
I'll fix the Kernel thing and stick to LOS 14.
Thanks,

v4. Updated pack with TWRP Recovery 3.2.3-0 and Spookcity kernel 6.0-1

Update: I'm having some major issues with lag on my device. 15 seconds to open Chrome, occasional overheating, high CPU usage on small things, etc.
I've had LOS14.1 (a slightly older version) on this device before, minus the different filesystem format and the Spookcity kernel, and not experienced this issue. So I'm thinking about rolling back some of the changes to see which ones were the cause.
Is there an unmodified version of the kernel out there?

Hi,
I didn't experience that but we never know.
To have a fresh system, reboot to TWRP recovery. Wipe cache + system.
Flash LOS, addonsu, OpenGApps.
Wipe cache and reboot.

Thank you for posting this guide. Much appreciated.
Was thinking of getting a Galaxy S i9000 ready for moms but didn't quite understand all the dated guides/roms so decided to buy a 2nd hand s5 mini which now works like a charm!
(struggled a bit with the power off/power on after twrp flash but removing battery for shutdown and holding home+power+vol+ a little longer works!)

Hi, you are very welcome for this tuto.
I like when phones don't go to the rubbish !
You are quite right, Galaxy S2 i9100 can be tricky when USB is badly recognized by the PC. And to be honest its performances are low.
Hope you had a merry christmas,
cheers
