xDA developers community here first thank you for pumping life back into nexus 4
I rooted, custom recovery using CWM running N5 port from best developer and user friendly Dev ever Mr Anderson
However being so simply noon I always prefer trial and error and learn the hard way.
I installed touch control for n4 from this thread
[APP/MOD] TouchControl (Nexus 4)
And it downloaded and updated the kernel, my bad no back made prior flashing extra the three way boot. I come to learn the kernel isn't compatible with N5 port stock image 4.4.2
I am a newbie here and love it when stuff works. I respect posts and op also xda rules, yes I know I need to read prior ask, well I've searched and read more than 100 posts on nexus no less than 50 pages per thread
Y question, what kernel I am on from N5 image stock ROM 4.4.2, touch control is playing around, touch ain't responsive couple of times therefore I want to uninstall but anything I should do to re- flash custom kernel again. And where can I get the kernel, I know where but as said am newbie and can't ask or post on threads yet.
Thank you for this great experience I had and huge knowledge I got on Linux android ADT adb debugging modes custom recovery and kernels, not to forget flashing custom Roms

Hi guys. I've been following both the android and original android development sections of the OPO forum and have found no kernel that can overclock the OnePlus One running stock (rooted and BL unlocked) CM11s.
So, my question is very simple: is there any kernel that overclocks CM11s? (Yes, i know it is plenty fast already, the only purpose i have for it is bragging rights at the bar TBFH and to see how far it can go)
There is currently no custom kernel with overclocking features that will boot on CM11S.
If you really want it then you can go and flash a custom ROM and flash a kernel such as ak kernel which does have overclocking up to 2880MHz.
Do not flash ak kernel while on 11S, your phone will not boot.

Thank you for you answer. Yes, I realize it wont boot on CM11S. infact, that is the first warning you read upon seeing the kernel.
I guess I will have to wait, since I think CM11S is by far the best ROM for the OnePlus... I had already installed 5 different roms on it and flashed furnace kernel only to see no difference in benchmarks (i think it's because it throttles, even though i stuck it in the cooler)

Benchmarks mean absolutely nothing. Its all about day-to-day performance. Custom ROMs are better in my opinion because currently on 11S there are numerous crucial bugs that are affecting the phone from being used. Just to name some,
- In-call audio volume fixed.
- Some workarounds on the touchscreen problem.
... the list goes on and on but I don't feel like explaining all of them but custom ROMs offer a lot more features than what stock has to offer plus they give you a sneak preview of whats to come in the next OTA without having to wait for it.
The decision is up to you, they're all free after all. Thats the joy of custom ROMs and kernels
I recently purchased a photon Q, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. All went well until I tried installing a new ROM. I've tried installing both Carbon and CM11 but with no luck. Thankfully, I've been keeping backups of my stock ROM so I'm still able to restore the phone and use it.
I'm currently using cwm 6.0.1.3 , and I had been trying to install the new ROMs via rom manager. I'll try to get more error details up Friday as that's when I'll attempt to install the new roms.
I tried installing the latest nightlies for both CM11 and Carbon.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.3 doesn't support SELinux and so it doesn't support any KitKat ROMs (CM11 and newer).
Use TWRP or OR as a recovery.
I wondered if that was the problem. How would I go about putting twerp on my phone? Do any threads cover that? Would it cause an issue with CWM or would I have to get rid of that in order to install TWRP?
Thanks, by the way.

The TWRP page for the Photon Q goes over how to flash TWRP.

Any recovery you flash will simply overwrite the previous one. Simply flashing TWRP as normal will just replace CWM.
Same with OpenRecovery, simply flashing OR over CWM will replace CWM with OR.
Let us know if you have questions. I like the fastboot method, but there was an app in the Play Store TWRP Manager - which I have never used, but should work fine.
Awesome! I replaced cwm with twrp last night. I'm going to try installing Carbon either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for the help guys!
Well, it worked...sorta. i tried installing Carbon, but there seemed to be some kind of bug that didn't let the wifi turn on(along with some performance issues) and I have horrible reception at my place so that didn't get too far in setting up the phone.
So I installed the latest CM 11 snapshot and that's working great! Pretty awesome to be on the latest version of Android for a change!
Still want to try Carbon though, do they have more stable releases or do you just have to go out on faith with the nightlies?

I run Carbon as my daily driver, no problems.
Post in the thread if you have issues. As always, clean flash before reporting any.
I posted this in a couple other threads as well but since you guys are talking about it... do you think the Carbon is superior to the CM10/11/12 roms? I've found mine to be laggy lately. Maybe it always was I'm not sure.. lol but I was thinking of going to 10.2.1 .. someone on another thread said he did that and it was like having a different phone .. it was so fast.

Please quit cross-posting. You are severely diluting any community effort to respond to you by posting the same question in so many threads...
Truth be told, YOU need to make the decision for yourself. Take a backup of your current setup and try something new, you have nothing to lose but some time. If you don't like it, restore the backup you took (please please take a backup IN RECOVERY before making any changes).
LOL sorry lets not kid ourselves. There are 4 active threads since May 24 in this sub category of the Photon Q. My intention was not to spam-post, however given the slow movement of the forum I posted in a few relevant threads in the thinking that those who were active would have subscribed and were maybe notified Sorry if I did a few too many... for tonite I probably have had a few too many Coronas (Cervesa Mas Fina!).
This device is in a production environment. There is not much room for any downtime on the device so I do not have that luxury of playing with it. All these Photon Q's I would think have the same specs so there must be a general consensus or benchmark'ed result as to which ROM offers best performance with the usability balanced. I do need more of these devices moving forward.
Funny thing, I live within 50 miles of Blackberry's campus and they have failed us yet again. Their passport phone is a little more reliable and less buggy than last years Q or Z models, however I'm still lacking a row of numbers and a dang home and back key. When are they gonna figure it out! Just using the gesture/swipe to get to the homescreen doesn't appeal to me. You can't give me a home button? Anyway #offtopic a little.. but is there no general consensus or are they so close its difficult to pick a winner?

Have tried a number of ROM's carbon, PAC, Cmod, stock ICS, & JB.
Tried different flavours & unofficial versions.
I'm now happier than ever, running stripped JB - removed bloat ware & other obsolete APK's, plus added a few niceties using xposed framework.
Phone is fast - as in no slow downs & pauses, like I was getting with carbon & PAC, battery is unbelievably long life - using an xposed battery saver module, plus I added extended power menu options.
The main killer of all the other custom ROM's is the persistent Bluetooth error during calls. This is something that has been in the ROMs since Cmod wrote the first one, as all the other are built off of it.
If you don't require Bluetooth for calls, then go for it - personally I am finally happy with the JB stripped & tweaked stock.

Hey, i got a little project right here. It's important to say that i have knowledge in this kind of stuff but i never messed around with it except from installing roms on my phone.
I have to modify my self a ROM and kernel from android stock ROM (lets say Lollipop 5.1.1).
I need to do stuff like disabling the SD/Bluetooth /WI-FI in the kernel and comping a new ROM. Can someone here send me to the right places to learn how can i achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me to build a custom kernel for my lg g3 D855 I have done android development before so its nothing too new for me and I've had quite success in the past but these not many forums about this topic and especially up to date the trouble is either the code to install required packages in Linux don't work or I get random errors when building the kernel like a error 2 or 1 which there is nothing online about this error
So again I would really appreciate it if someone could lead me in the right direction or just some help anything is better then nothing
If you want to know what I'm trying to do then I want to build a custom kernel to overclock the phone but also help in performance because on full stock it gets too hot and constantly lags so I have install a custom ROM on the phone, the viper os ROM and hope to make a kernel to have a full custom phone and I can't use kernel apps like kernel adiutor because the setting don't save and there's no overclocking present after the reboot so that's why I want to make a kernel plus I would enjoy making one instead of getting one offline and most of the custom kernels for the D855 either bootloop the phone or puts it in download mode so there are many reasons why I want to make one and source.android.com seems awkward to follow along with but I have been doing dev stuff for a few months now so I know a fair bit about it just not as much as I would hope
Thanks for reading the post I know its a long one if you can help me it would be much appreciated
