[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] da_flux:
Yesterday I installed the franco kernel on my N10. And it doubled my Wifi internet speed! Just wow!

Will it do the same on my N4 if I install the Franco kernel on there?

And what does it do with bettery life? Increased or decreased?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] vecino:
Battery life is the best with franco kernel on Nex10. Too bad for me, it does not support 3G modem.

Here is the proof (from Franco´s Google+)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] da_flux:
Okay but that is not really using the tablet...

And 100% still after 25days now way I think.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] vecino:
Yes sure ... you have to try it alone for your own experience.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] starkilling:
Breaking news: not using your device saves battery. More at 11.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] da_flux:
It seems that battery life with Franco is worse than the stock kernel for me overnight it drained around 10 -15 % while being in Ariplane modus.

How can I revert back to stock kernel ?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Pull the stock kernel image. But this kernel definitely has better idle than stock.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] da_flux:
Yeah I heard that it has better stock idle values.

But why does it drains my battery much faster overnight when on ariplane mode than stock kernel.

And it's just a fresh install of Android so no apps installed.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] vecino:
My battery with franco r13.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] da_flux:
Thanks!

I'm hoping I can get the same results as you do.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] vlucchetti:
Had the phone apk process lockup, Reloaded my nanroid, deleted phone.apk, reinstalled kernel and it works fine.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I don't know how much it might help you guys, but I have a thread in my sig the Franco kernel & FKU Learner Lounge which is a thread I originally put together for nexus 5 users to chat about franco kernel / app related stuff and a place some beginner users could use as a friendly place to ask questions so to keep the main dev threads clean and easy to follow and not miss important information in many spam posts.

You guys are welcome to join or point any inexperienced members that way if you feel their content isn't relevant in a dev thread. There's a few device specific things to do with nexus 5 in there but I'd like to open this thread to all the nexus devices Franco supports. Not owning all these devices means if any of you have any suggestions for things I could add to be specific your devices I'm all ears and plan to have a small section for each device for any repetitive questions for a particular device. This is a copy paste post across all Franco nexus threads.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] pappy97:
Just curious, is an update to this kernel to allow it to work with Android 4.4 in the works for the Nexus 10? Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] tb01110100:
No. This does not work with 4.4.

Sent via XDA Premium HD on my Nexus 10
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] pappy97:
I know it doesn't work with 4.4. Please re-read my post again. I simply asked if an update to the kernel to bring to 4.4 is in the works.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Yes, Franco has said he will still support the 10. He's been really busy with the other Nexus devices. The 10 will most likely be the last to receive a kernel.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] usafle:
And that explains why my device won't go past the Google boot screen!!! (Expletive!!!)

I just got my N10 and since I'm using the kernel on my N5 I assumed it would work on this!!!

How do I get the stock one back? I made a backup of the stock one using his app but I'm unable to locate/flash it from TWRP. What do I have to do?

TIA.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] JNewms:
You'll need to use fastboot to get back to stock. Just flash the stock img in fastboot and you'll be fine.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] usafle:
You meant: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" Not the stock.img. :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I meant to say what I said. You can try just flashing the kernel image, but I'm thinking you made need to flash the wine whole stock image, since you flashed a kernel that was completely incompatible
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] usafle:
Flashing the boot.IMG worked. Back up and running.

Thanks.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
Flashing the boot image will replace everything that was completely incompatible.

No need to replace the user's data just because of a bad boot flash.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] nigelhealy:
I'm getting my N10 on Tuesday (ish) and my plan was to unlock, flash stock 4.4 and then apply Franco kernel.... but Franco currently only supports upto 4.3. When is "soon" ? Is that weeks or days? I've got a N7 on 4.4 and still waitng and it is like 10 times more popular than N10.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
When it's ready.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] blipp:
He's doing the 2012 Nexus 7 first, then he'll start work on the N10. The Nexus 10 isn't a developer device to him, he uses it a lot for personal stuff, so it's last on his priority list.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonhans:
Quick question: Does francokernel work with cyanogenmod 10.2?

EDIT: Nevermind lol. I just read "worse question" and "nexus".
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] nigelhealy:
The only problem I had to solve, worth solving with stock 4.4 was it was broken drivers for PPP Widget. I installed tan-ce kernel and it fixed all of the problem (kernel support + drivers). I'll do a ROM backup and try Franco to see if it also fixes that stock's problem otherwise I'm avoiding Franco. My N7 on same stock 4.4 just works, I guess Asus vs Samsung differences.

So.... is Franco's N10 kernel also going to fix USB driver issues?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] wwwpuntoit:
comon franco, we have the best tablet,the latest software now we wait for the best kernel....
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] chugger93:
Does anyone know if R13 is compatible with 4.2.2? I'm guessing there should be no issues but want to make sure.

I havnt' taken the plunge yet to 4.3 or even 4.4 yet, but soon. But for now...I want these temps controlled!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] blipp:
I think r12 is the last for 4.2. r13 is only for 4.3. Use his links in the first post to get the older versions, or if you have his app it should show you the latest version for your Android version.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] David 617:
r12 => 4.2.x

r13 => 4.3 (delete phone.apk or it will fc on you. long story... has to do with ramdisk modifications that were made but the kernel wasn't updated to support it)

I'm on Purity 4.4.1 with ART enabled. It is flawless and smooth. I highly recommend it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r14!

* Merged all 4.4/4.4.1 Kernel commits

* To ensure that we have enough fluidity input boost frequency is a little bit higher than stock, now at 1,3GHz

* Merged all my work on interactive governor from the N5/N4/N7

* Higher I/O throughput than stock

* To ensure that we don't lose frames while using heavy apps with complicated layouts the GPU is now boosted to 450MHz during touch input events to make sure we make full use of the DDR frequency inherent to the higher GPU clock

* Make use of a new Suspend state from Linux upstream to save more power during idle

* Compatible with CyanogenMod and derivates

Enjoy!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] shaker2k:
Awesome!

Now I got your kernel on my hammerhead and my manta!

Thanks franko.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] nigelhealy:
thanks

Running r14 on N10 4.4.4 stock

It would be great if you get get the ppp usb modems to work like in http://blog.tan-ce.com/android-4-4-kitkat-kernel-for-nexus-10/

When I use that kernel my USB AT&T Huwai modem works in my N10 :). With Franco kernel, it doesn't. :(
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'll see what I can do.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] vecino:
That would be great (3G modem support) - intercede for it too. Thanks a lot. :good:
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] SpudsterZ:
My assumption is that 4.3 users should stick with r13, correct?

Think kernel is runnig quiet smooth, couple of feedback though let me see what you oppinion is on this :

-Battery seems to drain much faster, but haven't fully tested yet.

-brightness sensor seems a little crazy for me and feeling some heat near the camera location

Good Job franco, just want to give my feedback
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] sorcio46:
Tested on CM 11-20131213-NIGHTLY-manta, it does boot and work!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] _chanstar_:
Fast and smooth as always Franco!

Anyone use PTV3000 to cast? For some reason it tries but doesn't connect with r14 (haven't tried prior version on 4.3). When back to using the stock kernel, it connects. Before further troubleshooting, I'd like to know if others are experiencing the same issue.

On stock ROM and PTV3000 is on the latest firmware 2.4.26 I believe (Nov 2013).

Working with 4.4.2?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Is what working with 4.4.2? If you mean the latest kernel, then yes. There is a post from Franco stating that
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] ChemicalSymphony:
Totally missed it. Need sleep. Thanks
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] ChemicalSymphony:
Flashed on CM 12-16 and all is great except my battery icon stays full. Battery was at about 50% at time of flash.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] kaivalya97:
Great kernel Franco! I was using KTManta before this on CM11 and even overclocking to 1.9GHz did not help reduce lag in games. In your kernel, games are as smooth as butter! :D
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] blipp:
If you have his app he usually keeps it up to date to show the latest version for the version of Android you have

Keep up the great work! Running great on SlimKat.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r15:

* Improve interactive's input boost time count to make it more precise

* Fix GPU scaling freqs small bug introduced on r14 and improve the timers precision

* Added a new cache flush API that its less hard on the system (flushing caches is expensive)

Enjoy :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
I will try r15 for no other reason than I can.

The N10 is still smooth. It still lasts 8+ hours of real use on stock or R14.

But more franco on more devices is more better.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] kaivalya97:
Which is the best I/O scheduler for heavy performance?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Deadline
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonebear:
I think you are right but does it make much real difference? ROW is favoured by some, SIO is the most basic and kicks ass with a few tweaks.

With a device as powerful as ours, does it matter?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] fifthelement:
Thanks for update. Flashing now.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I don't own a manta so I can't tell for sure but use the bench mark app called androbench to measure your through put scores and given an average score for each you will have an answer before long
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] nigelhealy:
I get wildly different results based on what settings I choose.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] hunforfee1:
it works very smoothly with RASTACAT rom,and power saving,i use ART model,like it!:)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'll beg to differ. The I/O scheduler is not that prominent in the performance of these devices because they are not I/O constrained and our I/O activity is very low. Of course ROW and NOOP will behave better than stock settings CFQ (because this one is tuned for rotational disks) but any visible and palpable performance changes are next to null in normal usage. However, during high I/O activity a better tweaked IO scheduler will make the difference, and I'd say ROW and a properly tuned deadline will both shine. Noop is also good, but I think it doesn't scale as well as the others since it has no algorithm to decide which IO requests should be taken first or when to give priority to other request.

r15 absolutely flies with CM11 nightly from Dec 20th

Greatly appreciate it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Hereisphilly:
And the latest Omni nightly too! I think this is your best release yet! Not a single stutter or anything anytime! Thanks for your hard work
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rjrjzozo:
+1 . But can you add support for 3g USB MoDem? That will make this kernel perfect. It's already present on other 4.4 kernel but none of them is as smooth as yours. Not only my nexus flies with r15 , it manages ram better. No stutter, no lag, no matter what you open at the same time.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, lots of food, kisses, hugs, and quality time.

Thanks for sticking with FK even though this is not one of my priorities Kernel wise, although I promise to be more active like I did with the latest two releases. Very happy with r15 - but more improvements are coming.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Hereisphilly:
No worries man! Have a good Christmas and I can't wait to see what you come up with in the new year!

Merry Xmas Franco! Thanks for all your hard work. My n5 is acting like my manta for standby time thanks to your kernels.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] CazeW:
Had a kernel panic today with the latest ThunderKat (12/15) and r15 while browsing. I've also had reboots with the stock ThunderKat kernel (didn't get last_kmsg from them but they always happened while playing Clash of Clans) so it could be the ROM but I've included the last part from last_kmsg incase you could shed some light on the cause. Let me know if you need the whole thing.

Hi,

I get a bootloop after flashing the 4.3 version.

See my signature for rom.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
We're on 4.4, I don't care about 4.3 anymore.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r16:

* Merged interactive commits from FK's for the Nexus 5

* Merged 3 patches from upstream to use the new cache flash API in other code paths to decrease overhead

* Make the GPU sleep on the lowest frequency. On stock Kernel when the GPU goes to sleep it puts itself into 450MHz, but now it goes down to 100MHz

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Holer Togni:
Yeah, working really good over here. Trinity has the best performance out of all kernels I've tried, but this one is not far behind now. Plus it gives me 1-2h more screen on time, that's just wow!

The Nexus 10 seems a little like the forgotten Nexus development-wise, so you're really making us happy with those new versions :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] usafle:
Anyone have any recommended settings for BATTERY LIFE? Not really concerned about performance as much as squeezing every once of battery life out of this. I am mostly using the tablet to surf and watch movies (720p).

I fly for 7 hours plus and the plants usually don't have power sockets for recharging.

Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Holer Togni:
Try setting the cpu to lower freqs like 1000, 800 or even 600. That should be enough for just watching movies. There was some discussion about this in the Trinity thread a while ago.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] brGabriel:
From my understanding, Franco Kernel is built primarily for performance. Which is not to say the battery life is terrible, but its like buying a sports car and expecting great gas mileage. Personally, I will take the added smoothness over better battery life, but everyone has to consider their own personal needs/uses when flashing ROMs and kernels.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] usafle:
I know this contradictory past goes against my previous post. But playing Plants vs Zombies 2.... Holy lag fest!!!

I've even used the per app mode and set the governor to performance but still lags like crazy. Anyone else have the same issue?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] ipnekgs:
No lag here , 4.4.2 stock rom, underclocked, 1.5ghz.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] usafle:
I'm stock as well. I wonder why I am having an issue. I came from KTMana and did everything properly (flashed cache etc and removed KTtweaker app etc..) Anything more then 5 zombies appear on screen and it stutters / lags.

I'm getting random lags and unresponsive touchscreen when using r16...

rastakat working without issue! :good:
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonebear:
Seems to be not as good as previous Manta Francos for battery life but Francos was always best for battery life anyway, so it is just more average now. Not worse than any other kernel. Not a complaint.

No lags on Rasta or Purity, very responsive. :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jodtalingchan:
fyi, got some reboots with r16 combined with rastakat. imo, r15 is more stable and responsive. thank you Francos for the best kernel!

I am not sure if it's caused by this kernel. But it takes utterly much longer to charge my nexus 10.

Last afternoon, it charged 2 hours, battery level increased from 30% to 50%

I left it charging this morning. From the look of the battery graph, it took about 9 hours to charge from 50% to 100%.

There is a lot of bump for the charging curve.

I'm on stock rom 4.4.2 with xposed framework. It's the first custom kernel I tried on this device.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Beaster:
Yeah i ve noticed that aswell.

Charging takes a lot longer with this kernel
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bonedriven:
OK. Today I charged again from 8% to 100%. It took less than 6 hours, which is about the same as before.

And the great news is that the battery level is still 100% after 5 hours unplugged... Wifi and sync on.

This is sick....

Edit: In fact I just noticed that my setting for wifi was "keep wifi on only when plugged in during sleep". Now I have set it as "always on". Will report back.
