Sorry mate, you can't go from non caf to caf as you need all the libs from source to use a caf kernel. You should just stick with 9.2 of his kernel then flash any other kernel on top like faux and retain nxtweaks.

And for those who use CM, chaos kernel is the best custom kernel out there! Nightlies everyday in sync with CM nightlies so there's never any conflict with the latest versions. Also battery life is awesome with intelliactive governor as before with interactive I got 4-5 hours sot and now I get 5 hours minimum with HSPA+ all day
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
i try chaos kernel and got more battery drain than with the patched zip and franco and dont have done more today. i will try this zip attached today again cause if I update the files i only got the bootlogo and no nothing more :eek:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jsylvia007:
So, I've been lurking this thread, and figured I'd post. I really do love CyanogenMod, and to be completely honest, I don't want to take the time to find a ROM that offers everything, wipe, re-setup, etc. So I decided to stick with CM and ditch franco.kernel. I stumbled across this post, and decided to give Chaos Kernel a shot... I couldn't be happier. All of the cool stuff (color correction, touch2wake, etc), and almost DOUBLE the battery life that I had with Franco. I'm in awe. Looks like I'm a CM + Chaos guy now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
I can confirm that my updated zip do the bootloop:eek:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dancooper93:

I experienced issues flashing the Nine Inch Nails Halo kernel after flashing the non CAF zip on AICP and Commotio. I'm guessing it's to do with the halo kernel?

so you are saying there are no audio issues of any kind? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] treIII:
OK. I'm going to ask a question as most of this I read becomes very confusing. I'd like to use aokp ROM. Its CAF based. Can I flash the aokp ROM then flash the non CAF zip? Then let the ROM boot up and then flash an aosp kernel? I'm trying folks. I just want to get this right because from what I've read it seems difficult to go from cm back to aosp unless of course I'm misunderstanding that also. Thanks to anyone who may help.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] knapz:
Full wipe, flash rom, flash non CAF, flash AOSP kernel all back to back. If something doesn't work right (volume, glitches, or whatever) then stick to the proper rom and kernel combo. Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] treIII:
Thanks you. One more question. If I flash A CAF based ROM such as aokp how do I go back to an aosp ROM? With an aosp kernel? Can I just restore a backup without doing anything special? Thank you so much.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 5 Android Development] knapz:
I'd fully wipe and reflash the rom. Or restore a backup that you hadn't messed with.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Valdeck:
In case anyone wants to know this also works if you want to run the bricked kernel. Not sure about long term stability or speed or anything but it lets it boot at least.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
I think we need an update:good: with latest cm nighlty I got the android phone crashed after flashing it :( and if i change it for my own the files I got a bootloop stuck on google bootlogo :(

please can you tell me why?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Cloonix:
Same here with nightly 3/7/2014. Anyone tried a full wipe?

EDIT: Flashed CM11-M4, installed ElementalX and then Franco r34. Works. Why? ;)

EDIT2: Customized my CM11-M4 download. Removed and added some apps directly in the zip. Then I used the folder "/system/lib/" within the ElementalX CM Kernel zip and put it into my CM11 zip. Flashed it, flashed Francro r34. Works.

EDIT3: Bad idea. Device got hot and the display didn't turn on anymore. Don't do it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FuMMoD:
Elemental makes a CAF version just flash that. I flash the cm aka CAF version on beanstalk.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gamerman123x:
You don't need to flash the caf version on beanstalk I tried the regular aosp version and it worked fine.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] t1.8matt:
I think Elemental needs to update it's CAF drivers, I've been having volume issues on .32CM on CAF roms.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FuMMoD:
Yes you do because it's a CAF ROM. If you want to run an AOSP kernel on a CAF that's up to you but I'm just letting you know. You won't get the maximum performance and the sound will take a hit as well.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] picarito:
question? so if i want faux kernel on beanstalk do i flsh the non caf kernel support or the caf kernel support zip???
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CrackerTeg:
Non caf
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chris41g:
Nice to see you around calkulin
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
but with latest cm you will get phone crash with this workaround :crying:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
[MENTION=1188493]Calkulin[/MENTION] hoping you can come back and help make a patch for the more recent versions of CM. And also any luck in addressing the media volume issue?

I really love Franco kernel and CM, so I can't live without the two :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] topgeardave:
Temporary solution, just use Mahdi ROM. Features are exactly like CM and more yet it's AOSP so Franco works fine.

Or for a CAF kernel there's elementalx and chaos kernel. Chaos is perfect for me as I want the bleeding edge.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kecinzer:
Try to switch to AOKPk :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
better way is that franco merge a few lines of code :rolleyes: but I hope to see here an update :victory:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mic213:
I've used franco r36 and linaro r36 since release with CM11 (Just updated to 3/21 build from 3/18). He made the telephony-msim update to bootclasspath so phone doesn't FC anymore. Loving the battery with CM11 and r36.

Try with r36. Works great.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Still need the Calkulin patch? Media volume problems still?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mic213:
Yeah, you need the patch, and I haven't had any media volume issues
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
If you play a song via Play Music the volume will be maxed out. The bug still exists due to Franco's audio commits being incompatible with CM. :(

It also prevents me from playing games on the toilet at work because the bathroom stall will explode with noise. Boy was that embarrassing the first time.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
if this is real you made my day :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I tested and it works but the audio volume issue exists still.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Nburnes:
I had the same issue as you up until literally 10 minutes ago. Media volume wouldn't adjust and stayed at full volume. For some reason, I was just adjusting the media volume hoping it would work WHILE plugging in headphones and now it does! Sorry if I sound like a crackpot but now I can adjust media volume freely? :silly:

Play music

Adjust volume on device while plugging in headphones

Profit?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
but still not work after release from 22 or 23.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] xdp:
Is CM's CAF kernel decent? Why do they feel it's the better branch to be using? It would be nice to just flash the ROM and know you're getting a good kernel out of the box.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jwhyte:
From the looks of it everyone is still having the media volume issue? Anyone figure out a workaround?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alcibiade:
Was working perfectly with the bricked kernel until the very recent iterations of CM11. Typicall working good with M4, but not with M5 :(

Any chance to update the patch? I love that kernel and CM11...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Luigi_2:
yeah, it's good, i can get about 5hr and a bit more SOT with mixed usage which is pretty good. But it lacks the customization such as color calibration, a must for many
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
I think many people like me wait for a new build :angel:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alcibiade:
Any chances to update for latest series of Nighties?

It used to work perfectly with the Bricked kernel but not anymore since M5 (Get process phone.android.com and acore crashing)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
I think we dont get an update :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alcibiade:
Luckily Bruce2728 makes a Non CAF version of CM11 :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] topgeardave:
Just flash a CAF based kernel like Chaos or ElementalX. I use chaos and I'm getting better battery life than stock, especially with music playback as cm now tunnel the music through the DSP rather than use cpu power.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alcibiade:
The day you try Bricked you'll think differently. Probably the best performance and battery life. However there is not (yet) a CAF based version
[Nexus 5 Android Development] topgeardave:
I have tried Bricked, battery life is subjective depending on how you use it. Using botched methods trying to get a kernel work on a ROM which requires completely different libs is a recipe for disaster. You really ought to go CAF like Chaos kernel or go AOSP like Mahdi ROM and use Bricked. Mahdi ROM is pretty much AOSP CM with additional cherry picks.

Personally I'd rather go for bleeding edge and go completely CAF because I like it's smoothness and customisability like gamma control. For me nothing has beaten CM's new audio tunneling feature, it saves so much battery and sound quality is brilliant.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alcibiade:
Nope battery life is not subjective. Always drives me crazy to read that. It is RELATIVE to how you use your phone. You can OBJECTIVELY measure battery life across a number of typical usage. Just nobody bothers to do it.

Try bruce2728 implementation of non CAF CM11 it works very well. No disaster.

Bleeding edge is maybe not the right term for CAF. Some implementation may be,I trust uour word on that (For Chaos). But the original CAF, the CM11 original kernel, is slow and consumes more battery. Not good.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] topgeardave:
Don't want to start a debate here lol. Let's just say anyone who wants to try AOSP CM should use bruces cm11.

Bleeding edge is the best way to explain caf because if you look up the term online it means it's the implementation of the newest code available even though it may be unstable. As CAF is from qualcomm themselves CM is bleeding edge haha.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
Luckily Bruce2728 I dont know.Much better to know why I cannot update the zip for my own without boot loop :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alcibiade:
The zip was made for older versions of CM11. Recently some things have changed (Probably the ZRam) and as a consequence you cannot use this zip anymore. Ideally you'd need the OP to do an update
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jamescable:
Anyone have a link 2 the bruce2728 patch?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jwhyte:
He has a thread in android dev you can find his ROM on goo. Don't think he has a patch just a ROM built without caf.

Battery life mainly depends on usage. ROMs and kernels do not impact that much.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] johnnyolivares:
OK, thanks. I was specifically asking because of OP's Special note about Franco's kernel and possible high android OS uage
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hatshipuh:
I'm wondering about the note about franco kernel too.

I went and tried to simply flash franco kernel and these libs, no issues so far, but there is still this paranoid feeling lingering that I did something wrong.

Edit: Not without issues after all, can't change volume in some games, e.g. Farmville Heroes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] big_bum:
Franco ramdisk isnt very different from CMs one. You cant change the vibration amplitude and governor, but all other things are in sync with CM.

Volume issue is not from kernel, but from an audio lib.

Sent from my ΠΞXUS5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alcibiade:
Not really true, or I'd say misleading.

Sure if you play games you will eat your battery faster than if you are in stand by... That I hope everybody knows. That being said with the same typical usage, your battery life can easily vary of 20 to 30% depending on your ROM, your kernel, your governor, etc...It's an hour or two of usage of your phone (for the same type of usage) which is usually worth it :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MaxPower99:
Anyone have an explanation for the note about franco? I was also wondering if there's anything we need to do besides flash this patch then the kernel.

The only thing I want to do and can't make work is the Wifi Hotspot (I used FoxFi on my old phone and I loved it and have already paid for the license, if using it is possible)

My concerns in order of importance to me:

Stability is

critical

.

I don't want to own a $700 brick.

I need to be able to use my unlimited data plan to create a hotspot several times a week.

Not voiding warranty.

If the advice is to root to achieve this function, what is the safest rooting process, with the most reliable outcome for my above 4 concerns?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SanityBroken:
Every Rom I've flashed for this phone has been at least as stable as stock if not more so.

The rooting process for this phone is simple as can be, I haven't seen any reports of bricks.

Hotspot working in pretty much all the TW Roms, not sure about CM

Rooting voids warranty, Sprint will "USUALLY" fix it anyway

Chainfire's one click root is the best way to go, all that does is give you root and you can stop there if you want to stay stock with root privileges. If you want a custom recovery so you can flash new Roms, that's another very simple step. Chainfire's thread gives you all the instruction you need. Hope this helps.

There are a few reports of it here on these forums, but you are correct in that a bit of tenacity seems to have paid off for most.

I believe many here sort of held their breath either before or during the Knox tripping deed.

Some early adopters of the device were left with few tools even to take an upgrade. Thank goodness for the dev community.

Just be thankful that they are here. When KitKat drops, we're gonna need them a heck of a lot more than they need us. Perhaps throw your favorite dev some jingle.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Got to Upgrade Then Root...

If you are NOT rooted, then you must upgrade first, then root. If you do not wish to upgrade to KitKat, then you may root now, but the upgrade will not install. Samsung's syscope service will check the status of your phone (official/custom), and your ability to install the update will be nullified if you root whilst on MJ4.

So...upgrade then root. If you need help with rooting, write back. As to preference of ROM, I am a TouchWiz guy that loves inverted apps. Others like AOSP and swear by it. Just select the direction you want and hit the dev forum. There are many good ROMS from which to choose.

Good luck!
