I am trying to install Franco kernel on my phone, and I have found the thread for this, but I am really confused on how to install it on my phone. I know that it's the same as installing a ROM, so I downloaded the appropriate version for my phone, but it said "Failed" while flashing it with TWRP. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, you are doing something wrong. FranciscoFranco does not have a kernel for the Verizon GSIII. Stop what you're doing and use a kernel from the VZW GSIII Original dev section.

Ahh! Not gonna lie, I feel stupid right now. And thanks, I will. But what kernel would you recommend in terms of battery life-friendly? I've seen you around in the threads. You're awesome at helping people!

All the Touchwiz kernels do a good job with increasing battery life.
Wow, I tried to flash the Zeus kernel and it just messed up my phone.. I rebooted and my screen was black. Couldn't reboot again, so I went into recovery mode and restored from back up :/ What did I do wrong?
which rom have you?

You need an AOSP kernel. Not TW. KT747 is probably the way to go. Just make sure you download the AOSP version. Next time say what ROM you're running. That way you can avoid confusion early on.
Oh, alright. So that kernel is battery friendly? And is there a specific thread where I can find kernels for my ROM and or phone?

Not sure if there is a single thread that lists all the kernels. Just go here to the original android development forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1692
and look for threads that have AOSP and Kernel in the thread title.

When is your CM10.1 rom dated as? When was it released? You might need a kernel from before the rom's date.

As in, from March? lol Ahh, you basically can't flash any current kernel out unless it's from around March 4th. Ahh, you're using the Linux 3.0 based version then. All AOSP roms have moved to the Linux 3.4 kernel as of early April Edit: Actually,mid-March was the Linux 3.0 to 3.4 switch which means all kernels are now incompatible with roms dated say before early March.
Here's KT747 from March 5th, should be fine flashing this.
Edit: flash the AOSP 4.2 version btw, that's what CM10.1 is based on

Nah, flashing kernels only necessitates you wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery. Neither of which is user data. Cache and Dalvik Cache get rebuilt once the rom boots so it's not something you'll notice besides the initial boot.
As for your second question, no this is not the only kernel you can use. If you want to stay on this exact rom, then you'll just have to do a lot of searching through kernel threads, for their Linux 3.0 based kernels from early March. However, this goes along with what I said in my prior post. Given that you are on a March 4th rom, you can only use Linux 3.0 based kernels which kernel devs usually mention in their changelog. Most (honestly all) kernel devs have stopped actively developing these and have moved onto Linux 3.4 kernels which will not boot on the rom you are on because it is outdated.
I encourage you to upgrade your rom to a current one and to keep up with active development that way you don't get left behind when flashing kernels (if that's your thing).

I wouldn't. Being that you're moving from a March CM build to a May CM build with a lot of changes, you need to do a full wipe in recovery to upgrade roms. Doing a dirty flash in this case introduces way too much room for issues to arise. As long as you do not wipe internal storage then you will not lose your data on the internal sdcard.

UPDATE: After a few additional tweaks to the framework, this rom appears to be working for both green and red lens defy users. I've personally used it as my daily driver for several days this week, and found it to be stable and very usable. The one thing that does not work for me is the GPS, and quite honestly, I haven't had time to look in to it.
Here is a complete, working port of PARANOID ANDROID 1.97a for Defy. It is based on Galaxy S2 PARANOID 1.97 and Epsylon's CM10 1208. This is NOT a simple port using the port tool and includes the Framework changes necessary for the hardware.
I take no responsibility for any consequences from your decision to try this rom, and being based on alpha releases, I'm sure there are other problems, but I've personally used this rom for a prolonged period of time and the only problem I've had was with the GPS not locking.
Few things to note:
1. No offense to anyone, but this thread is not for complete noobs. While I will try to help when I can, I cannot promise any level of support. If you don't know how to flash via CWM, this is not for you.
2. This rom is based on the Froyo kernel and has been confirmed to work on MB525 with green as well as red lens. This is no guarantee that it will work on YOUR phone.
3. I intentionally used 1.97 as that version was very stable on my Galaxy Nexus - much moreso than 1.98 or 1.99
4. I've cleared the PARANOID defaults that most of the other PA roms come with. You can manually change the individual app settings under Paranoid Settings, or via the \system\etc\paranoid\properties.conf file which stores a record for every app including DPI and Layout.
5. After installing this rom, I "supercharged" it using a v6supercharger script (link below) and it did seem to help make the rom smoother and more responsive.
Special thanks to Epsylon3 and Quarx for their work on CM10 for the Defy, and Molesarecoming and D4rKn3sSyS for their work on PARANOID.
Thanks to brajesh.sharma87 for pointing out the bootloop "gottcha" of simply recompiling the framework (for specifics google "framework recompile bootloop" and read the first thread that comes up).
I strongly encourage any/all of you to contribute (make donations) to these developers.
DOWNLOAD ROM (double check MD5 before flashing - 96D409B4692319D9DA63FAA9CE1516A6)
Download latest gapps from here.
Here is the v6 supercharger script that I've been using and is confirmed to work with this rom.
Make sure you're on Froyo kernel. Boot in to CWM recovery. Factory reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik. Install rom, followed by gapps. Wipe data/cache/dalvik again. Reboot (should take about 2-5 minutes). Install and configure the v6 script. Enjoy!
Looks pretty neat man! I might give it a shot soon. Any known bugs for now?
This is only PA rom which I manage to get work on my red lens defy without bootloop..

Are you guys running Froyo kernels? Did you do a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvik after the install?
Trying flashing the CM7 kernel, this rom, wiping, and booting right away before you install gapps or anything else. And make sure you give it a full 5 minutes as the first boot can take some time.
Also keep an eye on the led by the proximity sensor. Let me know if it flashes red when it loops.

Sorry, didn't even see your thread. Quite honestly, I've only been playing with PA for the last couple of weeks and have posted in rajesh.sharma87 thread as well as the rom porter thread, but nobody over there seems to want to read.
Have you looked at the logs from the devices that loop? Send me one if you have an example. I've tried lots of different combinations in conjunction with the framework-res mods before I got this to boot, but have not had any problems with this version. Interesting...

If you're on Defy red lens, I'd be curious to have you try this rom. I'm starting to think it may be a difference in the hardware.
I'm on BL6 (flashed GB when first leaked), but have been going back and forth between GB and Froyo kernel roms and found Epsy's to be most stable for my device (which is why I used his as the base).

First and foremost, thanks for all your help
Perhaps I was not clear enough, but I do not have the free time to take on any kind of support role. Please understand that my sole intention of this thread, was to provide/share a more recent version of PA/CM10 that I have been unable to obtain from anybody else. No offense intended, but I did ask you on several occasions to post a more recent version than the 1.95 you have in your (still existent) thread, and the only response I received was that you didn't have the bandwidth.
I also tried to work through/with kadevil's thread, but he pretty much ignored all the feedback he was getting about the tool not working for PA and JB.
Again, I was looking for a more recent version of PA (1.97+) with a more recent CM10 (8/06+) and was unable to find a working version. I built one that works for me, and wanted to share with anybody else that may be in a similar position...

Flash at your own risk, should work just fine though!

I flashed LeanKernel and then wanted to go back to stock kernel before flashing latest Faux Kernel.
So I have just flashed your kernel but "about tablet" is telling me I still have LeanKernel installed?
If you can overclock then you're still on lean kernel. Either way, I'd suggest a reflash.

It was definetely still on LeanKernel, I tried it twice.
Only issue could be that I was using an older version of TWRP that wasn't updated for 4.2, but it seemed to flash ok.
edit
Ok, tried it again now I have the updated TWRP and the same thing happens...i.e. nothing, it flashes in the normal way but changes nothing.
This is all wrong. The boot.img inside does not match the one from the N7 nakasi factory image and the updater-script is written for the Galaxy Nexus.
Code:
"of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot");
N7 certainly doesn't run OMAP. Flash at your own risk, indeed.
I urge you to take this down and make sure you know you've got it right before you put it up again. Only saving grace here is you were using the platform by-name method (which just plain won't work on the N7) instead of the actual mmc block names or you could have really messed up some peoples' devices.

As it turns out, I built a "slightly rooted" JOP40D stock flash kit yesterday (mods to build.prop in boot.img, and su/SuperSU in system.img). I'm posting this reply from that.
I started with the Google JOP40D (grouper) distro to do that. I thought I was going to need to unpack the boot.img from the OP's .zip to do comparisons of the kernels (to answer your question) ... but it turns out that his boot.img has the same MD5 sig as the boot.img from Google's JOP40D... and the OP's updater-script merely flashes boot.img to the /boot partition.
That means one of two things: either the two successive Google releases (for grouper) had identical boot images (which implies identical kernels), or there is some mistake by the OP. (I don't have the 40C distro to check ... only picked up my N7 a few days ago.)
It should work in your specific case though, as you are on JOP40D.
In any event, flashing boot.img is way way more than just a kernel replacement. I haven't looked at it for a while, but I would suppose that Koush's kernel flasher is a much more appropriate technique for switching ONLY the kernel out from underneath an arbitrary ROM.
cheers
That's great info there. I'm searching for the simplicity of just flashing a kernel instead of pushing the entire boot image. Thanks for a step in clarifying this question

For d2vzw! Note the forum you're in!
If you're as big of a fan as I am of KToonsez's KT747 kernel then you'll be happy to know there is now an updated version.
This is a forked version of KToonsez's KT747 kernel with commits pulled from the CM10.2 branch of the d2 kernel.
Disclaimer: Standard disclaimer goes here. I nor KToonsez are responsible for the actions you take when working with your phone. I've done a significant amount of testing and so have others but situations arise where a hiccup could cause data loss, IMEI loss, or phone failure. You, the flasher, assume these risks. Please make sure you backup/nandroid, use nvbackup, etc.
Note:
It has been reported that this kernel will not work with 4.3.1 ROMs, notably the latest nightlies of PAC-MAN. If you're on a 4.3.1 ROM flash with extra caution. If you find otherwise please alert me.

Instructions:
There seems to be an odd permissions issue that we've uncovered. Follow these exact steps so when you boot you'll have working cell data:
Reboot Recovery
Clear Caches
Flash your current ROM
Flash kernel
Reboot
Profit!!!
I'm working on clearing this up. I've verified the above process against mastamoon's unofficial CM10.2 10/07 build.

Kernel Special Features: KT747 kernel with latest CM10.2 commits
Version Information
Status: Beta
Created 2013-10-09
Last Updated 2013-10-16
Change log:
-10/11/2013
* Merged the commit for touchscreen optimizations
* Cherry-picked commit for reverting portions of the touchscreen optimizations which may cause us camera issues.
* Changed updater-script to hopefully resolve issue with no data after flashing (still researching issue)
First?
Looking forward to this
tapped from a carbonized d2vzw
ktoonsez gave the OK. Download link is now up. Please follow the instructions or you'll get no data. If you accidently goof and do this just reflash your ROM and then in the same session flash the kernel.
Thanks!

Thanks for this I've been using this without issues pacman ROM.

I normally don't overclock my phone doesn't do well with it. I tried 1728 and it wasn't ever using it. Then I bumped it up to 1809 and it instantly rebooted. As expected, my processor just won't do it. After the reboot the phone was still set at 1728 and it was using that frequency. So maybe requires a reboot work?

Rebooting seems to make it stick or show up in the apps where I see freq values.

OP Updated
Went through my cherry pick branch and realized I missed some commits. I missed about 2 days worth of merges at the end of August. These are now all added.
There is a gerrit reviewed commit for touchscreen optimizations (and a subsequent fix for camera issues). I'm having trouble merging this commit into my branch. I'll try to get that into the build for tomorrow.
Thanks!

Can I ask why there is a unofficial version of KT kernel? Did he drop support for s3?
Followed instructions to the letter and re-attempted 2x and still getting no data when running this kernel. Running liquidsmooth 2.10 final release. Thanks!

Shoot! Ok. Just want to ask a couple of questions to make sure I'm on the same page and I can collect some info to try and figure this out.
10/10 build? Probably a silly question since you posted after I posted the new build, but just checking.
Are you using CWM? If you are what version?
Just to be clear, are you flashing ROM and then the kernel in the same recovery session?
I'm not familiar with liquidsmooth. Is the 2.10 release version 4.3 of Android? I'm assuming it is otherwise you probably would have gotten a bootloop instead of no data.
Thanks for the feedback. It's important that I see these. I've been worried sick that there are people downloading this, having this problem, and immediately thinking that I through out something that is bunk. I want this effort to live up to the expectations that everyone has for KT's kernel. Last thing I want to do is turn people off to his great work!

I was able to flash 10/10 over 10/09 without having to flash the ROM and still have data. I have not gone from sans KT to ROM with KT on the 10/10 build.
I'm going to try to get some input from some devs. I originally thought it was the updater-script applying the wrong permissions during the flash. I did, however, change the script to mimic more how LeanKernel does its flash but that fix was put in 10/09. This along with the touchscreen fixes are my top priorities to get fixed.
See responses below. Thanks!

Eclipse build 6
I flashed the new version 10/10 on my Eclipse build 6 which is 4.3. I cleared cache, flashed rom, flashed kernel, and rebooted. No data at all. I then flashed the rom back over the top to get the other kernel and everything is fine. I am using the newest CWM.

Thanks for the reports guys. Researching this issue is proving difficult as no one seems to have documented it in the "usual" places. The only suggestion I have so far is checking to make sure the permissions are correct on everything that is flashed. I took a look at a couple of other kernel dev's updater-scripts and tried to modify this one accordingly. Flashing from 10/10 to 10/11's still gave me working data. I'm trying to follow up with a few other devs so please don't think that I'm not working on this. If you flash 10/11 please report your findings!
Thanks!
Hi all,
First let me start by telling you what device I am using a Samsung Galaxy S III I535 running Liquid Smooth 2.37 rom.
I have been flashing phones for years and have bricked, unbricked & in most cases had success with dirty flashing and doing clean flashes. I have gotten to the point in my adventures with flashing phones to experiment with kernels, since that's all anyone talks about that gets some legit performance and battery life stats. So my questions are as follows ( and i apologize now if this has been asked a bazillion times before. If that is in fact the case, some direction to the link would be much appreciated, thanks! )
1) what are the steps one would have to take to properly flash a Kernel
2) are there any pitfalls and caveats i should be concerned about ( bricking is the obvious one here )
Thank you again in advance for taking the time to help me out. Just trying to get fully educated before i decide to start messing around further with my phones!

1) Make sure the kernel is compatible with your rom, Do some reading about the kernel -pros & cons.
2) Flash away. In theory, you don't even need to wipe cache or dalvik cache, but just wipe them to make you feel like...it's clean!!
3) The worst thing is you get a bootloop which is an easy fix.
One other thing to note, is AOSP kernels are not compatible with TouchWiz roms, and TW kernels are not compatible with AOSP roms.
Make sure you get the right one, if the developer offers both options.

Just adding onto this, one good way of ensuring #1 is to flash a compatible AOSP 4.3 or 4.4 kernel that is dated at or about the same time as your rom. If the more recent kernel doesn't work, try the release prior to that.

Much appreciated guys! I decided to go with [4.3/4.4][AOSP] ¤ BMS ¤ d2vzw / d2usc 3.4.y (link below). So far so good, flashed easily and no problems at this point. Ill report back and see how the performance gains are.

I noticed as soon as I loaded the Kernel there was an issue. It wouldn't connect to any wifi networks. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even turn on wifi, the switch just stayed grayed out after i initially hit it. So currently I am running KT until I can find a solution to my issue. I would love to run BMS given the great response but I need to be able to use wifi lol

Stock Kernel
Background:
When Verizon released the ML1 Update you had two options, take the new boot-loader and be locked or NOT take the new boot-loader and remain unlocked. If you choose the latter of the two options the firmware and boot-loader never got updated. This seemed Ok but it would cause WiFi not to work because of the way Verizon coded the kernel to look at the new firmware (from my understanding). If the firmware was not the new version thee WiFi would just never turn on.
Intent:
As the name implies, this is just a recompiled stock kernel without the "WiFi bug" for Android 4.3 / ML1 based ROMS on the OLD UNLOCKED firmware! If you have taken the new firmware (aka: the 4.3 OTA) then you dont have to worry about this! It does not apply to you! This is Only for people on the OLD UNLOCKED firmware!
Why no features added?
Not everyone wants a super duper overclock kernel with 10 million features. Some prefer the simplicity of stock. I am one of those people! This is just a STOCK kernel with no mods other than working WiFi for the ML1 base on the old unlocked firmware.
Note: Version 2 is posted with the exFAT option checked for those using exFAT. Oversight on original build!

Funny thing is... This is a PURE stock build. BUT... here are some oddities I noticed over the stock kernel from VZW...
1. The compiled size is smaller (odd)
2. I used the defconfig that samsung said to use and I dont think its the typical Verizon defconfig. The name just seemed weird.
Its been a long time since I did a kernel so my observations may be pointless...
But I can agree with your statement that it is very smooth. I am running the stock roooted ROM I made with this kernel and I am tempted to get rid of my Note 3!
I think Samsung posted the wrong source or modified it after Verizon used it for the ML1 ROM (or I downloaded the wrong one!!!! lol).
Hmm, that is interesting...

Thanks. Will test to see if I get better battery life over lk. Also grabbed your ml1 ROM version. Been waiting for the release. All previous ROMS have been the best. Thanks.

Just so you know the ML1 ROM has this kernel in it.
AS far as battery life, Im sure LK will be better, ITs a tweaked kernel.
This is a pure stock build no changes to the code, AT ALL.
I didint even add in a build name. I just did make defconfig followed by make -j16.
The odd thing is, WiFi just happens to work but the Verizon build doesn't. Go figure!
Thats it!
After installing this kernel on old&slows ROM, my SDcard discounts and won't remount. I have wiped both caches and rebooted.
Anyone else having this issue? I don't have time to clean wipe right now, but I will try that when I have some time.

I talked with one of my Site Admins and he said he had no issues running this kernel with SD Card. Granted he is running it on "my" stock rooted ROM.
What size are ya'll running? and what format?
