So I am new to the nexus 5 scene and have been looking around and reading the beginner guides. One thing that I don't quite understand still is which kernel goes to which roms. Because in the Note 2, the roms either use a sammy or a aosp kernel. Is there this similar differentiation in the nexus 5?
would franco kernel work with beanstalk rom?
Franco kernel works with stock and cm now

Aosp is quite similar to stock but not entirely. Many kernels will work on stock and aosp unless the aosp is cm based. Stock kernel and cm kernel are not interchangeable

It is possible to set the Nexus 5 to run only with 2 cores?
In my nexus 4 I use a custom kernel for this, but from all custom kernels I tried for the Nexus 5, no one allows this.
Is there any other way? Thanks in advance.
I thought faux clock app could do it?
/sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu2/online set to 0 turns of core 2. Same for core 3.
Not sure how long they stay off for though

Hi,
Usually the path usedis /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* (the one you want to be online/offline like rootSU said). For all CPU modifications in "live" (I mean via a file explorer), terminal or init.d scripts.
Trinity kernel have a "dualcore" version posted in the last pages of his thread, or with its app you can set the number of cores online you want. Works also with the trick above.

I guess ANY custom kernel can
Morning all,
I had recently begun using the Chaos kernel, but with the latest version it looks like it is not going to support stock ROMs. So my question to this group is which custom kernel is good to use with a stock ROM, or should I just use the stock kernel period?
Thanks,
Steve

Chaos supports CM atm and all other kernels support stock (based) roms. Just read the OP`s and try some
Avoid anything that says "CAF"

9.1 supports stock. Some of the new releases haven't really improved anything per se since 9.1 so I would go to his download page and use that one, that is the one I use.
I wonder why they went the CM route? =/
Because neobuddy89 likes cm roms. Shame for me. 10b5 (or 6 whatever) was great

try Faux123. 008 kernel.
Thanks for the responses. I just loaded up the Franco r32 kernel and going to give it a try.
Hi guys
I am a new user for Nexus 5 which is also my first Android device.
Can anyone tell me what is the source of Mahdi-Rom?
Can I flash Franco kernel for this ROM? I noticed the the Franco kernel is not compatible with CM sources. So I want to confirm the source of Mahdi-Rom in case it is from CM source.
Pls help :banghead:

I believe it's ASOP base but has some CM aspects.
Either way if you check the 5th post of the Franco kernel FAQ thread it lists Mahdi-rom as supported

when i was using lollipop i always went with ak kernel but since ak kernel stopped supporting oneplus one when marshmallow roms began to come i became a bit confused as to which kernel i should use.
so i did a bit of searching with kernels that existed. and the kernels i found that i could use was
1. Sultan
2. Tyr Kernel
3. Andy Kernel
4. Radioactive Kernel
so i was wondering what kernel is the best alternative to ak kernel and if so does that kernel have any problems which makes so i should avoid it?
p.s im open to discussions and even having an idea of what i should do will probly help more then it hurts

It's pretty simple actually CAF kernels usually stated in the title of the kernel thread work on CAF ROMs e.g. Sultan, and any ROM that states CAF in its title works with these kernels.
CM kernel such as Lightning, Boeffla and Andy all state specifically CM12/13 in the thread title and those work with stock CM and ROMs derived from CM source and kernel trees.
Finally Omni based kernels only one works properly (Donkey Kernel) also states Omni in the thread title.
The common denominator is that they all clearly state in the thread title what they are for so there's nothing to discuss on which ones to be used for which ROM. In regards to quality that's a bit trickier as we all like different things in a kernel and personally I'm a big fan of Boeffla when I'm on CM13 cause it works great and the app is very intuitive. I've also tried Andy kernel and its got a good mix of features. I'm on Omni 5.1.1 nightlies so I'm on the stock kernel but when I move back to Marshmallow I can update on kernels

which kernels works with which rom i already knew but i still respect the answer i got. well the main concern i had was about the quality of the roms and which roms is good for what.
It depends on what you want. For example some devs here around merge a bunch of patches to improve sth. Sometimes i dont know what they are doing. I also started with that but soon i have learned less is more. Than there are kernels with gazillion oft features to choose. Thousond hotplugs and governors etc. Than there are small and simple kernels without such experimental features close to stock. I for example dont want to tune 5 days to improve me results i like it simple. So you have 3 or more different types to choose.
1. experimental maybe unstable kernels with lots of patches
2. kernels with lots of features
3. small and simple and more stable kernel close to stock
There is no best or better kernel. Choose the one you like best.
Its your choice.
You also missed the CAF lightning Kernel built off of AK's caf kernel. It's the best kernel for CAF right now IMO. It's basically all of AK kernel's great features just updated to support CAF marshmallow and bug fixes/ latest commits. Works with synapse and all of the original AK CAF kernel profiles.
Currently with CM based 5.1.1....... thanks for suggestion
Check the build threads in android development, most of those devs have repository's with custom kernels.
Mm source just came out too, new custom kernels soon
