Does flashing the boot.img from 4.4.2 factory image remove every modification franco kernel made to the system?

Nexus 4, rooted stock 4.4.2, ART
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
Yes; it performs a FULL wipe. Even /sdcard.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Just flashing boot.img neither removes all franco.Kernel modifications nor performs a full wipe.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
Darn, I thought he said flash the factory image. DERP
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Yeah, running flash-all.bat will unless you change "fastboot -w update" to "fastboot update."
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] defffizz:
So, flashing system and boot image will do the job?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Micoolef:
I was under the impression flashing the stock kernel zip is all you need to restore the changes made by Franco's kernel to default.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/04tifjyncnpolm4/MAKO_KOT49H_4.4.2_Stock_Kernel.zip

I picked this from the Hells Core kernel thread and apparently Franco himself made this 4.4.2 one. If i'm wrong let me know because I'm curious as well. It seems extreme to flash system.IMG just to switch kernels.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
You don't need to flash system, but flashing the kernel is not enough. You also need to mount your system partition rw and rename one or two files as mentioned a few posts back.

I thanked you thinking that was a joke :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cpanos:
This is how i do it when I want to be sure and start on a clean slate for a new kernel.

remember, flashing system means you will have to reflash superSU, and any mods you had before.

If you don't find it, just ignore it. AFAIK that's an additional file that is renamed by franco.kernel for the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] HarbingerIV:
The EASIEST way to remove all modifications that FK made to your phone is to dirty flash your ROM (as long as your ROM doesn't use FK as the default kernel in the first place).

Sorry for this next question, but with this process will it be like doing a full wipe? The reason I'm asking is because I fastbooted my gf's n4 with Franco kernel. Stock ROM no root no custom recovery. I'm trying to avoid losing setup and data. Don't want to end up sleeping on the sofa :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] defffizz:
It will wipe nothing, you're safe :p

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daivee:
Thanks for the quick response. Appreciate your help.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NYLimited:
defffizz is correct. There are a very few apps which store something in the system partition - you would lose their data but since you are not rooted this is most likely not an issue for you.

Any clod can have the facts, but having an opinion is an art.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
You would only lose root, busybox, Xposed, init scripts if you had any, AppOps X or any other 3rd party app you converted to system app.

Only applies to rooted phones, and easily redoable anyway.

The busy_time can be lower than FLOOR while the gpu is on an higher level than 128Mhz. My suggestion is:

if ((priv->bin.busy_time < FLOOR && pwr->active_pwrlevel == 3) ||
stats.total_time == 0)
return;

But it needs a min sample time, otherwise it will be "shaky".

I'm a light user and I get a few reboots a day - usually almost always on the "screen off" command. Its not a lot but would be nice if it could be tracked down.

Also, does anyone know how I can switch back to the original kernel to try that out again? If I update the Rom I assume the kernel will be restored for that rom, right?

Near the end of this paste is:

Same error happened last night too - after pressing screen off.

And now again (3rd time for me after I have been tracking this) - after alarm goes off and screen switches off.

Another reboot, these are pretty regular. This one is a different error and is about "usb":

http://pastebin.com/JeR03cGH

I found franco's comment about this kind of error.

I dont know if its a problem with my phone or the rom or kernel.

If it helps, here's a C file (mdm2.c) that comes up with this function:

Here's someone's comment about this error, talking about a fix (Nexus 4, CM11 discussion)

Another comment from a user reporting this same error for Cataclysm rom (using some other kernel called hells kernel)

For anyone wanting to report on reboots, you can do this: Right after phone randomly reboots and comes back, go to /proc folder and copy the "last_ksmg" file to somewhere on the internal memory/SD card location. Connect your computer, open the file with Wordpad or text editor. Copy all text and post it to pastie.org and give the link here.

I finally made my own color profile using display control app.

I borrowed my friend's iPhone 5 and compared it to my N4 (with this profile) in almost 200 photos, and as much as I was trying to be objective, I couldn't say iPhone looks better.

General problem with most of the color profiles, in my opinion, is the fact that, in order to increase saturation, they make photos look dark, contrasty, like some photoshop filter has been applied. This is the case with, let's say, halfbreed profile (at least on my screen). It doesn't make colors pop, it just darkens the screen, it makes red to look darker red, blue to look darker blue and so on..

There are other profiles, like bundy 44, which I like, colors look vivid but problem are people's faces - they look totally white.

Profile gamma 2.2 is excellent, but it's not bright at all.

So I worked on this one for couple of hours and decided pictures look way better than with any other profile. It's bright, punchy and looks natural, like enhanced stock (again, on my screen). If someone wants to test it out, I put the link in my Dropbox so you can download this zip, extract it, and replace the nexus display control folder with this one - it contains all existing color profiles plus mine (name of the profile is deff).Thank you guys!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Got your profile man and yes, it's really great. I have always been using 44_bundi, because for me, it's the profile that can closely balance brightness, saturation, colors, etc. It's not perfect though because it's a little bluer than normal, grays tend be whiter and it exhibits slight color banding in some of the images I keep. I always wanted to create my own profile but I really have no time to tinker.

But finally, your profile is the one I'll keep. Now I can distinguish grays and whites properly. It's less punchy than 44_bundi but colors are very natural to an extent that the photos in my phone look the same when viewed in my computer monitor. And most importanly, for me, color banding disappears. I have kept some photos which are high in saturation, contrast and exposure. These photos tend to exhibit banding, but now, color banding is gone. I like how colors/gradients blend seamlessly, jagged edges are now looking very smooth. I love what I see on my Nexus 4 screen. Great job! Thanks a lot.

You can't transfer apps from one account to another. Just add your previous account again but don't sync contacts, calendars and Gmail.

Hello.

Which Franco Kernel should be used with CM 10.2.1?

I installed R193 JSS and non-jss and the screen became garbled and the colors were psychedelic. Then I tried 203 and the phone didn't boot.

Previous to this I was running 10.1.3 with R165 and it was flawless. Thinking maybe i'm missing something.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
I have a question for all of you who have mobile data always on. How long does your battery last on auto brightness, autosync? My battery last only 6 hours, it seems too short. But I couldn't remember how long it was on Jellybean. BTW, I'm on PA 4 Beta 4, r203.

Google Nexus | Android 4.4.2
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bla_laber:
r203 is for Android 4.4. - so i guess this explains the problems with CM 10.2.1 (which is 4.3 I guess) I'm not sure at which kernel versions the android version has changed but it could be that r193 is already for android 4.4 - perhaps you have to take a look in the changelog.

Edit: here you can find the kernel versions for each android version: http://192.241.177.15/Nexus4/

r193 is indeed the last one for 4.3 - don't know whats causing the distorted colors.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Saml01:
I had read the change log that's how I knew to try R193 also because its in the /4.3 folder. Its a same the log doesn't include prior versions, only 194 and newer. I tried 203 just for ****s n giggles.

The distortion is pretty terrible. Colors arent only one problem. Imagine the image tearing and artifacting along with it. Never ever seen that before with any kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bill Gamble:
It's CM's fault. Read posts from past months for info on the controversy (search CAF for details). Look for a non-CAF version of the CM version you want to use or look in Ziddy's thread for his version of the Franco kernel you want to use.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] defffizz:
I can't tell you which one is the best, but try my new profile 'deff' and be free to tell me what you think :)

Nexus 4, 4.4.2, franco, ART
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Saml01:
Thanks for the info. I quickly skimmed the issue. CM basically change the video drivers. Nice :eek:

Ill give Ziddey a try based on your recommendation. If it doesnt work then I guess i'll go back to 10.1.3 or go to another rom based on Franco's recommendation.

A phone that dies due to poor battery life is no use to me, so i'll ditch CM if thats what it comes too. What ROM does Franco recommend for his Kernel? I need rock solid stock like stability and increased battery life, just as I had with CM.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gtanner00:
This is exactly what I needed. I think you and I must have less common display to begin with because Luke you my screen gets very dark and over saturated on any of the recommended color profiles. When I try them it makes a lot if light greys go dark and bright whited turn to light greys.

Now I have found the perfect profile (previously I stayed on stick since it was the best for my screen) and will be saving it for future use.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
He personally recommends stock, but I use Mahdi ROM and it's fine
