[Q] Bad battery on Franco. How to go back to stock CM12S Kernel - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Where to get stock CM11S 44S Kernel?

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.

Install stock rom from a custom rom ?

Hello guys,
I'm now on a custom ROM but I'd like to get back to the stock CM11s ROM.
However I couldn't find how to flash it with the recovery without losing my internal storage so I'd like to know if there is a way ?
(All I found was the factory image which needs to flash with fastboot so I'll loose all my date.)
Thank you.
There is a stock rooted version of 44S by Calkulin in the development section that you can flash like any other ROM.

[Q] about kernels of moto g [CM12]

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.....

Dirty unicorns rom kernel

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.

Download the stock images and extract it from the zip.

Google Cyanogen 11S
