So you guys think franco is worth it on AOKP? I am on the fence about getting it...
No question. Worth it. What's holding you back?

I just keep seeing posts where they claim it hurts battery life, doesn't do much, better off with kernel that comes with the rom, etc.
Lol that's all BS. It's plenty worth it if you enjoy his kernels at all.. Which I believe are the best out there now. As was suggested try his kernel and if you like it at all def get the app its solid.

New guy here, I tried flashing Franco from the updater app and now I'm stuck on the boot screen "Google" am I totally screwed?
I had just rooted the phone and I'm trying to flash Franco on the stock build. Thanks.

Well... Problem is his kernels are made for 4.0.3 or higher, lol its good to check that stuff... so if you're on stock 4.0.2 then that's your problem. If you made a backup in recovery you can just restore that, backups include whatever kernel you are running.
To get to recovery pull battery, replace, hold both volumes and power to bootloader, vol down to recovery, power to select recovery.
If you don't have a backup you'll have to either fastboot a compatible kernel or fastboot restore factory images... Both are easy, don't panic, just let me know what the situation is

No back up.. (my DUFUS BAD) I can get into recovery, I also have the Gnextoolrootkit, shouold I use that to flash back to stock? (concerned about the debugging being off) Thanks, this "Fastboot the kernel" seems easier, googling fastboot now, thanks again.
Edit: Well I'm back, HUGE thank you. I think the biggest help was the "DON"T PANIC"
Hey all. I've been searching for answer to the question I am going to ask, but I haven't found any reply that would satifsy me. Is it 100% safe to use the generic hotplug option? It doesn't hurt the CPU life/performance etc in any way? Thank you in advance for responses!
Yea it is safe to use. All it does is turn off CPU1 (technically second core of the dual core) while the screen is off and I believe under very minimal loads and then it will activate once it is needed based on processing loads (or if when the screen comes back on). I will help battery life significantly and it wont harm your CPU. Your computer does the same thing, when it is sitting idle it will turn off 1 or 2 cores (depending if you have a dual or quad core) to conserve energy assuming you have energy saver settings. I have had it running for a while now and I haven't had an issue with performance and it wouldn't harm the CPU life cycle at all.
Edit: I honestly don't know why that hot plug doesn't come enabled by default. I have noticed a significant battery life improvement while the phone screen was off for an extended period of time.
Thanks for your explanation. I was a bit concerned about it since if it improves the battery life without affecting performance, why it was not implemented in official Google kernel that came with stock android images (because it wasn't, was it?).
