You don't necessarily need to flash system.img !

As long as you haven't deleted any system apps, you can rename that .bak library file (search /system recursively for anything ending with bak and restore original name) and restore your DPI if you changed it, and of course put stock kernel and the ota will succeed. I did the above yesterday and flashed the KRT16S-from-JWR66Y ota zip using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and it worked like a charm.

I'll stay stock till I get the 4.4.1 OTA the natural way ... I wanna see what kitkat stock kernel battery life looks like .

* Merged 4.4.1 Kernel patches

* Merged new patch works from my Nexus 5 Kernel

Have funs :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mdaamir1989:
Dumbest of all the questions . Does r198 still work on 4.4 ? or does it contain anything specific to 4.4.1 ?

FKU still shows me r198 build . So im assuming itl still work fine on 4.4.

Pardon my lack of knowledge.

Franco Kernel R198 runs smoothly on 4.4.1 KK (Ota), then test functioning and fluency with some games, although my Nexus 4 will not use it for games, I think most look like Franco Kernel for its strength and fluency in daily use

Franco Thanks for your work for our Nexus

Thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] for the new kernel version, working nice and smoothly here! Are you planning to merge the latest 3.4.xx Linux kernel version like you did for the N5?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Too bad it makes things harder for you, honestly; it would help us a lot and I'm not changing ROMs like underwear lol franco.Kernel is the only kernel that breaks root on several ROMs, including Slim.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Dunno, not really important tbh, most fixes are towards x86 hardware. I only merged it on N5 because someone else had done it for me and I just cherry-picked the entire work :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
That root thingy is different and I'll get around that when I make this ramdisk work on CM sometime soon.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Ahh it's something you can fix without anykernel approach, well that's great news then. I'd really like to use your kernel and FKU again on Slim :D :D

We never really came about changing the gamma settings in real time eh, without switching off the screen?

Yeah I haven't worked on that again, I shifted priorities to the new N5 so N4 is now merely receiving code updates from N5 but I'd like to go there again someday and make it pretty without having to screen off/on.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rajendra82:
You think Google rewrites a new kernel from scratch for every release of android? What they do is take the old base source code and make incremental changes to it until they all add up to a new released build while keeping a majority of the rest the same, they publish the source code changes after release. What merged means that those same changes have also been added to this kernel. The old code that got replaced is now obsolete.

Pretty sure the latest TWRP will mess up your permissions if you "Fix Permissions" in the TWRP settings (even if you fix it over and over again). Just don't use that until TWRP gets updated again.

I lost root before because of that and made my entire phone go wonky. The only way I fixed it was reflash the entire ROM with a clean slate (clean install).

r198 doesn't make you lose root or whatever.

The app IS restoring the settings but you've got to wait a little bit. If you just enter straight after a boot, you'll see the default kernel settings.

All this confusion demonstrate FKU needs much more UI work. In my opinion the application has now good things but it's developed from and for developers, not users.

Hi

Just to know if this only stock issue or it also happens in franco kernel. No matter how many apps I open, my fully stock 4.4.1 nexus 4, has always 52-50-48% free RAM (seen with ram usage app and memory booster app).

This per se is no problem. The problem comes when it has to kill heavy apps to keep this almost 1Gb free and have a constant reload of apps that could be permanently un RAM.

If someone can tell me if I would avoid this annoying problem with this kernel, I'd really apreciate it. Or at least a reason why this RAM is unused, if there is one.

I googled a lot finding several similar questions but no answer at all.

Thanks a lot!

PS: A friend of mine has a fully stock nexus 5 and has seen with memory booster a 28% free ram! So this is not a generic android OS or kitkat problem but a nexus 4 specific...

CM is an aosp based rom, but it has CAF commits which makes it incompatible with aosp kernels unless they add the necessary commits to make it work. If you want to use franco.Kernel with CM checkout http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2181820 it adds USB OTG features to your rom, but also gives you franco.Kernel with the commits needed to run on CM.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] anazhd:
Yes you are right, CM is based on AOSP. But what makes you think that the corrupted inc didn't change anything, in the other hand, just kang it from AOSP ( which this is not what CM did, they didn't kang, they just use it as a base ). CM is heavily changed, including the display driver. from AOSP to CAF ****. That's why it's not compatible. But if you do a few search, there's a thread, franco's kernel converted to support CAF.
