How to know which kernel to use ? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I have a old Moto g 1st gen (xt1032)
And been trying to get it running now but with not much luck.
The bootloader is unlocked and twrp installed and I installed a stock rom but it keep crashing about once or twice a day so I formatted everything and installed another rom can't remember the name right now but was comparable for my model .
And that won't get passed the black "android" screen
So been looking into it and people mention kernels but I haven't got a clue about them tbh so how can I tell which kernel I need or do they suit all ROMs
Can anyone suggest a matching kernel and rom
Cheers

I'm a lot really late but just a try a few different ROMs and make sure they say XT1032 or Falcon. ID crisis and Exodus are good 6.x ROM that are very stable. As for kernels, unless you really want to do some low level tweaks that require kernel intergretaion like Overclock, DT2W, CPU governer, etc., I wouldn't worry about it.
If you DO want a kernel I can't recommend ZERO Byte kernel by @BryanByteZ enough. Under volt/clock and over/volt clock, DT2W, it's got everything. Works great with Exodus

Sooo about that a good start is to flash the latest stock 5.1 then flash twrp and choose a 6.X rom (based on cm13) and that depends of your likes and wishes if you want a stable like rock rom i recommend AOSP+OMS 6.X/EXODUS/VanirAOSP if you want customizations there is Ressurection Remix,Dirty Unicorns and others, you just "need" to flash other kernel if you want more advanced features. This is just a recommendation for roms but lucky we have Kitkat,lollipop,marshmallow and nougat roms.

Thanks for the replies guys
I'm beginning to think I have a hardware problem on the phone.
I installed 3 versions of stock 5.1 on it last night
Eu,Brazil,and US I think they were they all install without errors
But only the Eu one boots up the other 2 stay on the "android" black screen.
The one that does boot us unstable though and crashes quite often .
That's why I thought about kernels and maybe it was that as I'm not sure if I need a certain one on my phone or any compatible one will do.

Well I already passed on that I change my bootloader to the one from BR stock 5.1 and now everything works fine. Try to change data partition to f2fs file system.

Any Kernels that work with GPE Moto G?

So, I picked up another Moto G, I missed it a lot after selling. I have unlocked it, rooted it, and installed TWRP on it thus far. I tried a few ROMs, but I really like the stock GPE setup so I converted it over. I then tried to install a couple of Kernels on it, but can't get the phone to even boot.
Are there any Kernels currently out there that will work with the GPE Moto G? I would really like to tweak a few things in there, and have access to the 1.6OC.
Cheers
Aero Kernel, but it's still experimental. Make a backup and see if it works
Unfortunately it doesn't have 1.6GHz OC but the kernel is very smooth and good enough anyways

Aero Kernel works for me, see the aero kernel thread where I listed What I did to get it working.

My new kernel should work for you. Would you like to test? Its still in testing phase but the only issue I have with it now is it doesn't go into deep sleep. I am working on that today and hopefully have a new build today as well. If your interested I could send you a link.

Yes! Definitely. Once you have figured out the deep sleep issues, please shoot me over a link. I would be more than happy to test.

[Q] Kernel for overclocking CM11S

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

Advice for new Rom (XT1039 Peregrine)

Hi,
I know that this is going to be a very subjective question, but can anyone suggest a super slick Rom for my Motorola 4G LTE?
I tried CyanogenMod but did not fair to well with it - some lag and increased battery usage.
I really need something super lightweight and prefer function over nice looks.
It seems that three of the best contenders for this phone are Carbon, Paranoid Android and SlimKat - can anyone perhaps point me the direction of which one to use (or indeed suggest anything even better)?
Thanks very much.

roms which you suggested above their, development has been stopped mostly or has been inactive for 9-10 months. You may try Resurrection Remix rom .

If you find there is lag or battery drain flash hurtsky kernel

CM 12.1 is very slim, if you just use the smallest package for gapps.
greetings
Thank you both for that - I might have to try both suggestions and see which works best for me. (I am currently using CM 13, which might be the reason I am having problems).
It is very interesting that abhi0502 has mentioned flashing the Kernel - this is something I was not even aware of until now.
How does flashing a Kernel and flashing the ROM tie in with each other? I always thought that a new ROM would automatically provide its own version of the kernel.

yes it has own kernel but if battery and performance is not good as expected you can flash kernel (that is the reason i have rooted the phone.) You can flash kernel with cm13 currently and see if performance improves. But its always recommend for clean flash (Rom+kernel+gapps) to avoid errors
Just wanted to pop back on here and say thanks for the advice above.
I did try flashing the kernel as suggested but it kept causing my phone to randomly reboot - although it did not work well for me on this particular occasion, I shall definitely start experimenting with other kernel's in the future.
As suggested I wiped and reinstalled Resurrection Remix with the smallest version of gapps and not only is my phone massively more responsive, but the battery improvements are really noticeable.
Thanks again.

new to idol 3 quick question

Hi guys looking at getting the idol 3 5.5 just a couple of questions
Can someone tell me what the different model numbers are as far as I know there are 4 different variants of the idol 3
Also I'm looking to keep to a stock rom based rom which one is best to use or should I just root and stick to the stock rom anyways as all I really want to do is remove system apps I don't use and install viper4android lol
Thanks
Hello,
The problem is with the 5 models (6045I,6045Y,6045O,6045K,6045B they are 99% same, i think the diference is in kernel/radio/dual sim).
so there are lot of custom roms, but the problem is, that they are only builds by fans and not really a developers (except "Unjustified Dev" which is the only one real developer here so far). so they just build the rom and cannot do much about the problems. This ends in many builds (CM, PAC, LEWA... ) all are CM based builds, there are also a lot of kernels,. the problem is nobody really knows what are the diference.
For someone is kernel " x" working for someone not etc.
So thats the reason i am on stock.
I managed to find, that TCL i806 is alcatel idol3 (TCL is the owner company of Alcatel). So i get the stock firmware for i806 and made some mods. Its probably the nearest to stock firmware. The only problem is, that it includes kernel, thats 100% working with 6045Y. You can try to boot it on your own device, but for suer to flash (not boot) TWRP recovery, make full backup and also download the other kernels, so you can swap them in TWRP.
If all things go well we should have android Marshmallow start rolling out in june.

thanks for the reply well ive ordered it and its coming tomorrow its the 6045Y version so am i right in saying i should be able to just install your rom no problem and i dont need to install the different kernel
also what kernel are you using as ill properly use the same one lol
sorry one last question do i unlock my bootloader as well before root ect
thanks again for your help
6045Y is same model as mine. So unlock bootloader and then flash TWRP recovery, make backup, flash my rom. I allready included overclocked ARDE team kernel. If you have some problems (freezes, reboots) then probably your SoC isnt capable of holding the OC, then just launch the kernel adiutor and lower the frquencies.

does xposed work ok on the idol 3 and if so what version do we flash
again thanks for your help carnt wait till tomorrow now
i dont use xposed, but should work without problems (have tried months ago). and also download mobile uphrade q v. 5.0.6 (its also on my google drive). its the alcatel app to get you to stock if something goes wrong. Also in my unlock bootloader thread is a bat file which makes all partition backup of your phone.

Can't get much better than the stock rom that comes with it. Can't get much more stable. Why go to custom rom?

None of them for me.
Try pure nexus ROM,very few app come out of the build and install only what you need.Very stable for me
Stock... You need stock ROM for this situation, it is the most stable and battery friendly and the least confusing. At least they could ask someone who has general familiarity with Android questions without going into menus on Res Remix or AICP or something that would confuse them.
The situation calls for simplicity, stability, and functionality... stock is the best choice. If you don't have your backup, look around here, there are plenty of tutorials on how to go back to stock.
Go with stock rom
I was also looking for a stable ROM for Moto G3 XT1541. Interesting to see all the recommendations here to stay with the stock ROM. My reason for considering a custom ROM was that I've stopped getting system updates: last was around June with Android patch security level 1 April 2017 so I've assumed no more updates are being issued. I'm not comfortable using a system that isn't getting security updates, so is a custom ROM the way to go?
(Hope this isn't considered thread hijacking, happy to post as new thread if so.)
Stock or LineageOS, as they don't have unnecessary customizations.
