Hello. I'd like to install Faux123 kernel in my moto G but I don't have clear how I should install it . I have found the app on the play store Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro. Should I have to install it to get work it properly?

You dont need the app to use the kernel, but you need to have an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery (maybe also a rooted phone).

Ok I understood how to install correctly faux123 kernel. but what should I do if I want to come back to the original kernel?

Before installing faux kernel do a nandroid backup in recovery. If you're unsatisfied with faux kernel then restore your backup.

do you loose data when installing a custom kernel? what are the advantages of this kernel? I am enjoying the stock rom and want to stick with it, but don't know what I'm missing if I switch the kernel to Faux123. Already UL and rooted

No, you will not loose your data when flashing a new kernel.
Long story short, the advantages are a much more effecient and optimised kernel that will allow for better performance, battery life or a balance between the two depending on what your after and how you setup the kernel... Read, read and when you think you've read enough, read somemore!

I did read up on this kernel but the info I found wasn't for this device and I didn't know there was anything specific to the Moto G.

I want to root and overclock my ns4g but I don't want a ROM is this possible? I'm running 2.3.5 and I just came from a epic 4g, what is the safest kernel and speed? Thank you.
What do you mean you don't want a ROM?
You are running a stock ROM lol. However, you can continue to run it and flash kernels without using a custom ROM

Yeah I meant non custom, ok just wanted to make sure because on my old epic you had to be careful about what kernel you used some for ext4 and some rfs, anyone recommend a fast kernel for a stock ROM?

I meant if he wanted to change any settings, should have specified
Sensation chip is not on the list of SetCpu 2.2.4 even though the post say yes.
Can't find MSM8X60. And I can't change the speed. Maximum is only up to 528MHz no longer 1.5GHz... Help!
OK, first off, this should be in q and a section. Second, did you select autodetect?? I use setcpu regularly and always use the autodetect option.

Your kernel probably doesn't support it.

Yeah, you're most likely using a stock kernel that doesn't support over clocking and under clocking. Usually is the case when that happens with setcpu

Hi, I'm using stock rom. I must use custom rom to use the setcpu app?
I'd recommend flashing a custom rom, as you get far more options to choose from - more freedom as well. If it truly does become clocked at 500ish Mhz, just uninstall SetCPU and you should be set.

Hi can anyone help me in installing cwm recovery in c2104 without flashing thunderzap, phantom or any other kernel?
My device is entirely rooted with an unlocked bootloader _
I don't know if this will work, but search xparts in the play store, it is an app for flashing xperia recoveries. Idk if it supports L though. But worth a try. Or just download a recovery from ROM manager. Also found in the play store.
Sent from my ST18i
Nothing different between flashing kernels or installing recovery. Flashing kernel is way easier and faster so I would just flash this instead going around and bothering with recovery instalation.

Recovery is intergrated in the kernel (boot.img) on Xperia devices.

Thank you replying, actually i wanted to flash a couple of tweaks by using cwm_but it looks like now i really have to install a kernel_i have tried both phantom and thunderzap kernels before, phantom was laggy, and games were taking a lot of time in loading on the other hand thunderzap was pretty good but it consumed a lot of battery even when i was using the max frquency at 1ghz only_can you suggest me which kernel to install then, and if it is thunderzap what should be the cpu configuration?

How to connect phone to use this installer? I've searched forum and G. I'm stuck at "Step 1: Waiting for Device..."
I've looked into many threads, but have still not been able to find a definitive answer: when changing kernels (going for example from ElementalX to Franco or Purify) should I do a dirty re-flash of the rom and then flash the new kernel or will just a flash of the new kernel be enough?
I know it's been asked before, but I can't seem to find a clear answer.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
So (just to make sure I have it correct) right now I am running Purity + Purify. If I want to switch to a Purity + Franco setup, I need to dirty flash Purity rom (in which case it brings the kernel back to the standard Purity kernel) and then Franco kernel after that, right?
Do I need to wipe cache or anything else?
Thanks again for all the help

You're right. To prevent any issue it's better to follow this rule regardless of the custom kernel. We need to dirty flash our current rom due to modifications done by the kernel on the ramdisk.
You never need to wipe before flashing a kernel.

I actually have an additional question: do we need the same process even if we're talking about the newer version of the same kernel? Like going from an older version of Franco's to the newest

Wondering the same thing. If I am currently on stock rom with franco kernel, in order to switch over to elemental do I have to flash the stock rom zip from the thread here on XDA and then install the elemental kernel?

Flash the stock boot.img and system.img and then flash the kernel you want to change to..
I have also tried just flashing the stock boot.img and then the custom kernel.. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I would reccomend flashing both! (boot and system)
also check to see if the original kernel left any init.d files, some kernels do. you would want to delete them, as those could, probably would, not play well with your next kernel.

another noob question,
does your advice still applies if someone flashed both stock system.img and stock boot.img?
if it is where that file will be located?
thanks.

yes. they arent located in either of those locations, so my advice applies, and is the only reason why i posted this. they are located in /etc/init.d/. you either dont have that location (best option), have it but an empty folder, or have an init.d folder with files in it. if there are files there, delete them.
Flashing a system.img will overwrite init.d scripts. /etc is a symbolic link to /system/etc so when you replace /system/etc with whatever is in a ROM.zip or a system.img, these changes apply to /etc too.
If you look in any ROM.zip or kernel.zip, they all flash their scripts to /system/etc/init.d

I've been researching about this for 30 minutes and still couldn't find anything that answered my question, I apologize in advance if the answers are obvious.
So the question is as the title states, what should I be aware of after flashing a Kernel on CM12.1? Will I have any issues when updating to another nightly? Or when flashing a stock-ROM ? Thanks in advance!
if you update your rom, your kernel will be replaced with one if the rom.
so you have to reflash your custom kernel

Thank you for the answer, but despites that is there anything I should be aware of when using a custom kernel? Xposed, going back to stock, etc
Nothing i know of, xposed doesnt give any problems to me when i flash a kernel so you should be good.
so its pretty save to flash a kernel

One more question if you don't mind, how can I custom my kernel settings? Currently on Squid Kernel (Moto g 2015), CM12.1
Install kernel adiutur from the playstore. With that app you change all your settings
