If anyone is having trouble with updating to 4.2.2 after being on Franco kernel, I had to delete the old powerhal and rename the backup to get the OTA to flash. Otherwise, assertion fails. Just flashing the stock kernel + components (including stock powerhal) doesn't work. It seems to not like the backup powerhal being there.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mikeymop:
How is franco kerne running on 4.2.2 for you guys? I flashed it last night, felt a huge speed boost compared to stock. My phone went from 90-60 last night, it only spent 23 min in deep sleep. Better Battery stats showed 'suspend backoff' as a kernel wakelock for 7 hours. Has anyone gotten that wakelock before?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yokuyuki:
No. I already said I flashed the stock kernel + components zip and it didn't work. It doesn't delete the power.msm8960.so.fkbak that this kernel creates.

The specific error I got was: assert failed: apply patch check ("EMMC: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot:631xxxxxxxxgreatbiglongnumber..........")

Do this that was posted a while back:

1. Download stock kernel from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024982

2. Flash it in recovery.

3. Boot into android.

4. Go from root explorer to system/lib/hw and

i) Delete power.msm8960.so

ii) Remove .fkbak extension from power.msm8960.so.fkbak so it looks like, power.msm8960.so

iii) Fix the permissions to rw-r--r--

5. Reboot

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r72

I usually use setcpu(or similar) and change the max frequency to whatever step I want to test and run a few different benchmarks to test stability. If I have any crashes or if the benchmark scores drop after a voltage change, I know the safe voltage. This can be a bit tedious for the lower speeds but, as they are where your cpu spends the most time, they offer the best battery if tuned right.

Followed this exactly yesterday but was still getting status 7 error. Flashed boot.img and system.img and still status 7 error. Flashed JOP40D image with Mskip toolkit, said no to delete user data, re-rooted, and then was finally able to successfully flash the JDQ39 update through CWM recovery.

+1 on this, 4.2.2 is smooth but I too miss the colors and haptic feedback strength from franco's kernel...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
I updated the gamma tester app I posted a couple of days ago. It now includes RGB tuning, which doesn't stick after screen off/on (yet) but is goof for comparing rgb settings on the fly (the other settings stick fine after reboot too). It's also faster with applying the settings now. Because of the added rgb, though, it's slightly slower the first time you restore from "minimized" state. The Tasker project link is also up to date with the latest version.

You need to delete the TXT file from the previous version, for the app to start properly.

I hope no one is against me posting this here? I do it only because it seems some people find it useful. And because it's only compatible with Franco's kernel, of course.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] richteralan:

1. Download stock kernel from here:

2. Flash it in recovery.

3. Boot into android.

4. Go from root explorer to system/lib/hw and

i) Delete power.msm8960.so

ii) Remove .fkbak extension from power.msm8960.so.fkbak so it looks like, power.msm8960.so

iii) Fix the permissions to rw-r--r--

5. Reboot

Then Flashed the update zip to 4.2.2 and the SU zip, then rebooted that Franco app still controls screen calibration and my loaded profile works?

I've triple checked and I am on the new basband and the new stock kernel and all.

From what I've noticed from the app is that it only saved the rgb values and not the gamma colors, at least for me it only saved the rgb and not gamma values. Anyways the rbg settings in the app can be changed on any kernel even stock. So the profile you loaded is only the rgb values.
