How can I do a dirty flash of the rom? I only want to install CM kernel, no other fs (system, data, etc.), is this possible? I have CM 10.2.1 zip in order to install with TWPR but I know that doing a install I will reflash system and I dont want to do it.

About doing a flash of boot.img with TWPR I did a .zip install of stock kernell but didn't work (I think because franco ramdisk), but in order to fix it I can do a install of franco kernel r165 with no problem. So, the problem for me more than "how to install a kernel" I think is "how to complete uninstall franco kernel".

I saw all the tabs (except kernel wakelocks that is empty) and no one had any high use of battery (counts or seconds used). In order to reproduce I do a full charge 100% battery, disconected and after waiting 15 min more or less I can see that Android OS is like 80% batery usage with like 10m active.

The problem is, as I said, if I can't see any problem in any tab (process, partial wakelock, network...), the problem it might be in kernel wakelocks. This is the reason I want know to try stock (or any other) kernel to try solve this problem.

I think this thread has some bearing with this problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102986

francisco posted in this thread and I think one of the previous kernel releases applied this patch but I don't remember if reverted the code back in newers versions (14xr I remember doing all this): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102986&page=71

If I understand correctly the doing a "fastboot erase boot" I will do a complete uninstall of franco kernel (and any other kernel)? Doing this the I can use TWRP in order to do a install of stock kernel .zip or any other kernel (franco too), right?

When installing a .zip stock kernel with TWPR I supose it replaces previous boot.img (kernel) with the new one (stock kernel). This would be correct but because franco kernel's ramdisk I have to do some other things in order to install corrctly the new kernel, right?

Pure Drive GT the problem is that I think that with 4.2.2 stock rom I have no problems with Wifi... but I can not asure this :(

But Drmol says the same as me :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pure Drive GT:
Ok maybe you are right, I also was on cm stable rom. Just found it very weird that it only happens on that one network so i tought it can't be cm's fault :) how often are you an that network? If all the time, and now with sb you simply don't have the problem anymore, it really Could be some cm error ^^

I can reply with my case. I had since february stock rom 4.2.2 (and in March-April I put francisco kernel) and I had no problems staying connected at my home wifi. Now since days ago when I installed CM 10.2.1 I have too much usage with Android OS ONLY when connected to Wifi (and I usually only connect to my home wifi).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Drmol:
Well he didn't say it happens only on one network but when connected to wifi in general, at least that's what I understood from his post and that was my case as well. And it's my home network so yeah I'm connected to it pretty often. :)

Also I was running the same version of franco on both so probably no wifi driver problem or anything like that and it wasn't caused by any app - at least not by a user one - since I uninstalled them all in attempt to solve this.

But yeah I agree, it is very strange.

Sorry for off topic by the way. :cowboy:

You cannot flash img using a recovery. It is used with fastboot. Plainly zip the img won't do the trick either.

Correct me if I'm wrong, a kernel is like the engine of the car. The car won't move if you completely remove the engine. It needs to be there or replaced. Flashing img would replace the current kernel. Dirty flashing won't remove your app data, that's why it is dirty. It only replaces what's changed.

As Francisco had mentioned thousands of times, Android OS has nothing to do with the kernel. It has to be problems with your apps.

Your test with 15min idle is not useful. You should really leave it there longer, without touching it, like for 5+ hours. That way you can get a more accurate result, you can export the log from BBS and post in their thread or here if you really think it is the kernel, which btw is very unlikely.

For the Wifi issue, to my understanding, Francisco has reverted the changes to wifi driver, and claimed it to be stock.

Hi guys..im new to franco/custom kernels.could anyone please recommend some settings which i can apply through trickster mod which would help me get better battery life? Again im sorry for this post but I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to serious custom kernels which can be tinkered around with.im running r170 on stock android 4.3 JWRR6V

Great kernel! Thank you Franco!

With this kernel the best settings to use are always the settings it comes with. Those are the settings Franco uses. 170 doesn't yet have all of the usual features because Franco is on vacation and hasn't had time to build his full kernel. Franco updater is the best app to use with this kernel.

Dude, stop talking about things you do not know about. Android OS can be a MULTITUDE of things. I wouldn't say it's the wifi network causing you to deep sleep. If your wifi network is having connectivity issues, then I would blame the connectivity, not necessarily the wifi network. You could potentially have the same issue on 3G as well.

The point is with Android OS, you need to dig further and look at partial wakelocks in BBS or use Wakelock Detector to find out what's going on.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Not sure. Just Google it and see if it will work in yours. I have no problem letting you have it. As long as they remember to bring it to me I should be able to give it to you tonight.

Sh.ut the fu.ck up people like you piss me off. Totally unnecessary comments. Mocking people who are just trying to help. Of course A. OS is a collection of things happening but we are talking about a specific issue were a certain wifi network causes this behavior and even franco himself told me this is because of busy networks and crappy wifi drivers.... But i'm not sure if he has this issue on any network or just one. If it's on all network then it's definitely not cm more like a random issue caused by "unclean" flashing. Once again, you are an idiot just to remind you, if you start every post like that people will just hate you no matter what follows...

hi guys im on mako 4.3 now and rooted, can i install latest franco kernel r163? thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
What I'm saying is you jumped straight to saying its a Wifi NETWORK problem. How do you even know it is a Wifi network problem? Android OS itself does not necessarily mean wifi. You're talking about Franco who's referring to the wifi bugs of 4.2 with the Nexus 4. I have a multitude of devices, that sometimes have Android OS higher than normal. Like you said yourself it can be a multitude of issues. On the Nexus 4, its easy to blame Wifi because its a known issue, but what do you say on other devices? Go Google "Android OS Battery" + "[Device Name]" and you'll see hundreds of threads. They're not all suffering from the same Wifi bug the N4 is.

So that's why I said you were wrong in jumping on the wifi network immediately. Your whole post that I quoted reeks of uncertainty. There's proper diagnosing, and there's jumping to conclusions which you did. I'm not saying your conclusion is completely wrong--I'm saying you can't conclude that without proper evidence.

Too many people on this board like yourself like to jump to conclusions. That's not what developers do. And last time I checked this isn't a board designed for mainstream users who act like mindless minions.

Ok, regarding my "Andoid OS" problem, now after 4:30h I have Android OS at top usage with 56% of total battery use (15%). Android OS was active 3:15h, now you think I have enough use time?

This case was from another user. I'm now with CM 10.1.2. Since I have this ROM I have this problem. Probably if I will return to stock 4.2.2 I wil solve this problem but I prefer CM 10.1.2 than stock.

Now just revert kernel with the CM one and I can see kernel wakelocks :)

So will post in CM thread instead of this (because now it has nothing to do with franco kernel) :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
The numbers seem normal. Strange. But something is in the background running the whole time.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pure Drive GT:
Ah ok ^^ , well I had this also on the CM Stable rom, but only when I was connected with University Wifi network. With both Franco and Stock Kernel(CM Kernel is 99.9% Stock) I also found no strange partial Wakelocks so I could not lock down any app. Then I had the feeling something had to syncing like all the time to do this so I went Airplane mode and the issue disappeared. Which made me believe it was a syncing problem, so I uninstalled basically every app I had one by one but nothing helped. After I gave up I noticed at home that the issue was gone, and the problem only occurred when I was connected to the University Wifi network. After asking Franco and other competent users if this could be the issue they told me it was because uf busy networks and crappy wifi drivers.

This was MY issue I don't know if you are having something similar, but try going Airplane mode and seeing if it solves the issue, then it could be some rogue app syncing or doing some bs 24/7. Maybe disable/uninstall some suspicious apps. If nothing helps try changing to other roms like mentioned before: Slimbean, Rootbox, Aokp, Carbon, PA. If you also have this problem with another Rom then it's 100% that Wifi network crapping things up, maybe try resetting, no idea why that would help ;)

This is all I can share about this Problem and i really don't know if this helps anybody. Well if not you can just ignore it instad of flaming me for being a noob no idea dumbass minion of the not cute type.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mierda1:
When you say to turn in Airplane mode and the problem dissapear it means that wifi is off? You can turn on only wifi when being in airplane. I say this because my problem appears only when I'm connected to any wifi, whenever I'm on airplane or not. Well, regarding "when I'm connected to any wifi"... I'm not sure about this, but with stock rom I had no problem connected in my home wifi. Tomorrow I will test in another wifi anyway.

After doing some search in google I remember that days ago I read about some dhcp relating this problem, so I put static IP but the problem don't dissapear. Also I disable sync and reboot the router too with no luck.

Now I only know one thing: with BBS and wakelocker detector I can't see what the hell is my "Android OS" consuming too much battery (the prove is the 5h log I attached). Tonight I will keep connected to wifi and I will have more than 8h of stats, hope it help (but I will post in CM thread as I said, it has nothing to do with franco kernel).

Thanks for the help and regards to all of you.

While I too at times think Franco is a magician, we are still bound to the laws of physics. Extreme battery life and performance doesn't happen at the same time. But, his settings he ships it with are the best of both worlds that you can get at the same time... In my opinion at least.

And I can't see any weird drain. So, supersu is working fine for me.

I didn't ota update, I was on Carbon, so I used a flashable build with root yet inside, for been faster. All was fine!

I was just wondering. Apparently there exists a source code of Android 4.3. Can this easily br compiled? Or must stuff be done before it can be compiled abd just work perfectly. I would really love a completely clea AOSP rom with 0 customizations. Just the most pure AOSP experience possible. If this is not too messy, could someone quickly explan what has to be done and if someone has already done this successfully could that person share it with me :) All this Google crap and chrome are pissing me off slowly ¬.¬
