I've been using Franco kernel for awhile now but I just noticed that camera will not record video anymore. Not sure if this is caused by Franco kernel but another thread said reverting to stock kernel fixed the same issue. Where can I get a flashable zip for the stock kernel? I've looked around and cannot find it.
Franco r32 causes this, flash r31 until r33 is released.
If you want stock kernel, then download the rom and fastboot flash boot.img.

Does anyone have a copy of the stock kernel for 38r. I've run into issues trying to use Franco kernel updater and using the backup copy of the kernel made in that app. Just want a clean version of the newest stock kernel. Thanks in advance.

Well, it seems to be 33R (it's what it says while flashing in recovery).
But it as the same version as show in this thread : [ ROM ][ Oct 7 ] Stock Rooted 4.4.4 XNPH38R
Weird.
i am not overly familiar with many things regarding different kernels and how to work with them, so i was wishing a few questions that i had could be clarified by someone who knows:
1. when a kernel is flashed? i mean except for the times when we flash kernel.zips via recovery, is it flashed whenever we install a custom rom? or is it flashed with bootloaders when we flash firmware?
2. I am using CM12 official nightly and facing camera frizz issues. I came across a post in the official CM12 thread where they said flashing a modified kernel supposedly fixed this problem. Now my question is, after flashing a custom kernel, is there any way to go back to the stock one? by stock i mean either the one i was on right before flashing the custom kernel or stock moto g kernel provided by motorola?
that also begets the question, can kernels be backed up like roms using recovery?

1. The kernel is first flashed when you install a ROM. You are supposed to flash a custom kernel after flashing a ROM otherwise the rom zip will overwrite it. It doesn't matter if you install it in the recovery or the boot loader.
2. To go back to the stock kernel just take it from the zip of the ROM and flash in the bootloader
where can i find the kernel inside the rom zip?
and if i want the stock motorola kernel that comes with factory firmwares
how can i collect that?
A ROM.zip contains the system folder and a boot.img
The kernel is in the boot.img
So if u flash a different kernel and still facing problems then flash the ROM again.

flashing only the boot.img of a rom wont bring back the default kernel?
and is there any way to make a flashable zip of a kernel from that particualr boot.img?cause all the kernels i see (like donkey kang/customized cm12 kernel) there are all distributed in .zip format.....
Im about to flash dirty unicorns 5.0.2 . I already have twrp recovery and have downloaded the elementalx 2.08 kernel.. Do i have to install kernel in order to install the rom or everything will be fine with the stock lollipop kernel?
Usually the ROM is packed with the kernel that is compatible. So every ROM has it's 'default' kernel You can replace it with ElementalX afterwards though

BUT it's ALWAYS better to read a few pages from the ROM's thread before flashing it.
Actually if you flash BlissPop rom today then your device won't boot (issue with stock kernel). So you must flash a custom kernel to be able to boot to Android.
Hi guys,
As the title says, I've been having relatively poor battery life with franco kernel r42. How would i revert back to the stock CM12S kernel? Can i download and flash just the kernel?

If you're running stock 12S you can just dirty flash the below stock rooted Rom.

Flashing the whole ROM isn't necessary.
@RashidD, all you need to do is extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash it with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hi,
I have recently gone from tweaked to stock kernel by flashing a 6.0 rom. Should I do anything with .dtb files now?
I had to flash one when I had charging problems on a tweaked kernel.
Thanks!
