Don't worry, I will come back but I have been busy elsewhere for a while...
You have a life and other things to attend too.

Even if I don't use fugu much on my Galaxy Nexus, I'll say this. Make your own AWESOME kernel or find one from another dev and use that then.
Cos we have choices so just switch away and don't rant here.

Hello Renaud,
can you explain me how to enable the init.d in my self compiled ROM. I was googling for a while and also checked some githubs but can not find clear instructions. Is your tree on github so I can fork?
I have some time during peaceful Christmas evenings
Update, no need to explain anymore. Found a tool to de-compile a boot.img (split_bootimg.pl and reverse engineered an OMNI kernel). Will try now on my ROM. Nice holiday....
Update 2, stupid me did not see your link for the source on Github. Already there to fork

Would be super cool if you would fork this for CM support, or fork the CM kernel with your mods. If I knew how I'd try, but never compiled android or kernels before. really happy someone is focusing on the security perspective of the core. I feel CM focuses well on the security of the system, so the two together is desirable. Any objections to this thought, please explain. I'm not here to argue, but to learn. Also wondering your thoughts on using Franco vs stock cm kernel, from both security and optimization perspective.
So I will take back development of this kernel again. It seems most of the features of grsec (which was available in testing version) makes this kernel really unstable.
I will soon make a CM compatible version.

Glad everything is going good for you and its nice to see you on xda again.

Someone mentioned mobiflage to me, are any of you interested by this feature? http://www.ccsl.carleton.ca/~askillen/mobiflage/
Note that this will only work on some ROMs and you need to reboot into "user 2" mode each time you want to read/save sensitive data.
20140120_r31 should work on CyanogenMod. I am not running CM, so if people can confirm it boots on CM, that would be nice.
FuguMod, working well in ProBam ROM.CM based.Thanks for this work.

Appreciate it Renaud. Your kernel use its on IMG and its not an any kernel zip is it?

It's probably due to the CM compatibility, it seems it introduces some issues.
Please try r33, I think root should work, and it should be more stable now that I removed some CM optimizations.

29FuguMod is a secure, open, reliable and no nonsense kernel
This is probably the only custom kernel for the Nexus 5 which adds security instead of removing it.
Current features are:
- compiled with linaro gcc4.7.4
- various small fixes
You can download the kernels at:

Flashing
Kernel zips are intended to be flashed with CWM ot TWRP, if you want to flash using fastboot, you need to unpack the zip and flash the boot.img which is inside
Versions
Kernels are based on the below version scheme
kernel_FuguMod_20131104_r1-4.4.img
20131104 is the date it has been packaged
r1 is the release number
4.4 is the ROM it is compatible with
Stable vs Testing
There are sometimes kernels in testing folder. These may be very stable or may not boot at all. Be sure to have an USB cable and fastboot under the hand if you try one of these. That said, in general, if they stay into testing folder for more than 15 min, they should at least boot and work more or less. I tend to remove non booting kernels from testing folder in less than 10 min (depending a little bit on the speed testers take them), and so if you see them one hour later, you should assume they are safe enough to flash.
So, in general Stable is the safest bet, but Testing may be the best. I, myself, generally run testing one.
Deprecated folder
In general, unless you really know what you are doing, you should avoid flashing those, they are mainly there for historical reasons.

Compatibility with hackish style apps
All apps which require direct memory write, access to symbols or memory offsets or modules will NOT work. And, no, don't ask they won't be supported in the future. Example: Arararagi's light is only provided as a module and will not be supported unless he produces a patch.
Security
If you want good security when your phone is stolen, in addition to encryption, don't forget to turn debugging off. Also, use enpasschanger to change your encryption password, any short PIN encryption can be cracked in a few minutes easily (for example, using my script at http://pastebin.com/Mdu06RZN)
Redistribution
As per GPL, you are authorized to redistribute this kernel with any of your custom ROMs provided you give out the source code like I do. You can link to my github in your distribution site.
However, if you modify the kernel yourself, whatever the modification is (compiling it yourself with a different compiler is a modification), you are not authorized to name it FuguMod, although you can credit me and tell the base comes from FuguMod but you cannot call the kernel itself FuguMod.
