I would like to bless the LG-E970 users with a kernel for your device. This kernel has many enhancements.
Read Carefully
I am in no way shape or form responsible for bricking your device. You're flashing this product at your own will. If you point your finger and try to blame me I will laugh and enjoy my beer.
Requirements
JSS for CM10.2, Carbon, Beanstalk, Slimbean, AOSP on geeb_att_us
JWR for PA, Rasebean
If unsure what version or 4.3 your favorite rom ask the dev or look in about phone. If you flashed a kernel and experience any screen tearing then try the other kernel before posting about the tearing. I will try to keep up with all the roms. If you come across a rom not posted above and you found out what kernel works for that rom and let me know so i can add it to the list.
*****Will not work on anything based of e975 sources this is includes Dvhexers alternate CM10.2, Shelnuts Cm10.2, Official PacMan

Go ahead n try it. There's going to be tearing. The tearing is due to the GPU difference with jss n jwr. Tux is using dvhexer cm10.2 as a base for beanstalk. With this assumption there using jwr
looking at dvhexers source cm10.2 is jwr. take aloof for your self

I don't mean to offend you or correct you, but cm10.2 is using the 4.3r2.1 branch which is jss. I've compiled it and it states its jss at the start of the build. It also says cm10.2 is jss in the article you have linked in the 2nd post.

I am probably getting excited for nothing but if I do use this kernel with CM10.1 will it take care of all the bugs like audio, BT, and camera
no all of those things are still a work in progress and i cant work bt anyways i dont have a headset but i am going to try i fix audio not sure how fast i can work as im still learning the ins and outs of coding
I haven't had a chance to search or ask Crpalmer about this...but could you add in the 192mhz clock speed? Since one of his updates to the CM kernel, its only ever had 384mhz as the lowest select-able. As far as I know his sense kernel still has 192mhz in it. Just a thought!
I clocks added all the way down to 100 MHz but for some reason I can only get it to show 384 _ 1512 mhz

the reason crpalmer/chad removed it was because now at 384mhz it uses the same amount of power as the 192mhz clock did, so now it does more for less power basically
Is this gonna be dependent on cm builds? If so, you might wanna designate dates like in Palmers thread

Dr. Herbert West's Re-Animated Franco Kernel Staging branch Kernel
a.k.a. Dr. West's Re-Animated Kernel
"I have taken refuse of your God's failures and I have triumphed. There! THERE is my creation!"Dr. Herbert West
Bride of Re-Animator (1989)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The short story ...
This is, for all intents and purposes, Franco Kernel. However, I have worked to cherry-pick commits
from the nightlies branch and apply them to the staging branch. I feel some great commits were lost
in the rebase and since I can't find the specific commits that make it great, I decided to just
carry on, adding commits from the nightlies branch to staging.
The long story ...
On March 19, 2014 Francisco Franco decided to rebase his kernel which is currently the nightlies
branch. To my understanding the reason was that users were complaining of various bugs, glitches,
etc. He had applied many CAF commits and was unable to determine where things were going wrong.
He was faced with a decision, find the problem or rebase? He chose to rebase. Since then, the
kernel has continued to get better and better!
"Then why are you using the staging branch?" you might be asking. Well, I was never plagued by
the problems other complained about and was really happy with r35. In fact, there is a little
nugget of gold with great value to me, hiding away in this branch! Let me explain.
On r35, when playing audio through PowerAmp, the CPU stays steady at 300mhz. Also, the way the
kernel selects which speed to run at seems to be more consistent. Apps, such as audio/video players,
seem to maintain a steady speed. Since r36 this has not been the case, audio/media players will
ramp up to 1GHz+ for no apparent reason. I was able to isolate one commit that as been applied to
the nightlies branch but the ramping up still continues.
This brings me to the nugget of gold! I have been able to determine there are about 1100 commits in
the staging branch that have not made it into the nightlies branch. The odds of finding the one or
two commits that reduce the ramping up are pretty slim. Believe me, I have tried.
Therefore, I have decided to re-animate the staging branch and work to bring commits from nightlies.
What is different?
The biggest difference is it is based on the "staging" branch
I've added 96Mhz, 192Mhz and 249Mhz CPU speeds.
Compiled with Linaro 4.8 (2014.03)
There will be no test builds, only releases that coincide with Franco Kernel.
The version will have a trailing a, b, c, etc. Each letter represents a build that has had past commits merged within that release. For example, the current version is r55a. Presently, there are about 120 commits from nightlies that I have to go through. If I merge some old commits before r56, the kernel will be released as r55b, r55c, etc.
What is the same?
many hundreds of commmits from the “nightlies” branch
initramfs files
Default FKU settings (see Notes)
Notes...
1. The FKU settings I change on my device are as follows... updated 06/30/2014
1a. If you are using a build named Re-animator-t** I suggest only changing the Minimum Frequency to 96000 and let me know how battery life is.
Minimum CPU frequency 96MHz
go_highspeed_load 95
highspeed_freq 192000
input_boost_freq 1036800
sync_freq 96000
target_loads 85 96000:90 192000:95 300000:98 600000:99
up_threshold_any_cpu_freq 300000
cpufreq_unplug_limit 1800000
2. For a long time I used PowerAmp, however I have recently switched to Rocket Music Player. Which you use is up to you but I believe RMP has a slightly less demanding UI.
3. At one point I suggested using Powersave governor to maximize battery. However, I think it does more harm than good, and has been removed.
4. I accept "Thanks" as payment.
5. Any monetary donations should be sent to Francisco Franco.

Cool! I'll keep watching this thread.
Good to see developers actually looking at the code and explaining things to us users.
Keep up, I'm gonna try this.
This is AOSP kernel right?
Thanks

It literally just came out, battery is probably similar to Franco's, and yes it's an AOSP kernel...
The name alone intrigued me as a huge horror fan. The write-up sold me, going to flash it right now. Thanks!

As I said in the OP, for all intents and purposes, this is Francisco Franco's Kernel. The difference is that it is not rebased. This is the staging branch of his git with most commits from his nightlies branch applied to it.

It will definitely get better battery life in some situations, specifically audio, which is what I use my device mainly for. For example, last night, on airplane mode, min cpu at 96mhz and governor set to powersave, I lost only 13% battery after 7.5 hrs of audio playback.
and does this work on mahdi rom ?

If a rom works with Franco's Kernel, then it should most likely work with this one.

i know, thats what i dont wanna use/download.. but did anyways
i like to do all my flashing in recovery all at one go.. i dont like the thought of, "downloading/updating a new rom via recovery, boot up, then have to use/download flashify just to 'finish' the procedure".. Lazy? maybe.. but doing everything all at once is better, and better for my ocd.. dont like back tracking things if that makes any sense ha -- makes sense in my head :angel:
EDIT: LOL :doh: I just downloaded franco kernel .zip (since thats where it come from) and just replaced his boot img with Dr. West's (OP's) img... Flashed it via recovery, and booted up fine :good:

I personally prefer fastboot but since many prefer recovery method, I will upload a zip that can be flashed via recovery.

Ah, fantastic! -- Thanks a lot :highfive:
Been using it for a solid few hours now and it's running great!
I'm getting issues though when I restore your preferences xml in FKU. It restores and reboots me to fastboot mode no matter what I do. I've rebooted multiple times to no avail and I've even started over by reflashing my ROM, then the kernel, then re-imported the settings again and the same thing. Any reason that might happen? I've wiped all previous settings in FKU previous to doing that. Not a big deal, just trying to get some good new settings to try from someone who knows what these numbers mean.

To use the settings xml, you'll need to be rooted. Copy the file to /data/data/com.franco.kernel/shared_prefs/ then make sure the permissions are 0660.
NOTE!! I've removed the link to the xml. I realized I had also modified the voltages. I'm so sorry. See the OP for the changes you need to make. Again, really sorry about that.

Great kernel name, loved the film, excited to try your work. Thanks for bringing this to us!

No problem at all, I just thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks, very much appreciated for the update!
Overnight, I lost a single percent of battery. I've got 'keep wifi-on during sleep' set to never, which I'm sure helps, but even still I can't recall a time recently where my battery did so well overnight!
