Seems it only happens while using fauxs simple governor for GPU, at least for me. Using ondemand is smooth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Mike318:
Having issues with that download... have you had a chance to make a flashable zip?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
If you really need to get to stock (including ramdisk) you'll have to flash through fastboot because this one uses koush's anykernel zip.

Sweeet kernel Jassy, you rock! Everything has been running like a dream and battery has been very good so far. One thing i noticed which is prob nothing related to your kernel, is my gps.. its works for about 5 mins in google maps then loses gps signal completely until i reboot.

I'm thinking its prob defective gps. This is the first time i have tried gps since i got n7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Device issue. Google knows about it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] conan1600:
Quadrant is erratic and even if it were not you really wouldn't see a performance boost at 100 points. Antutu is a bit more stable and in my own testing I found a small difference In high end performance on synthetic benchmarks between 5 and 6 but I doubt you could tell a difference in real world performance. The nexus was smooth from factory and remains smooth with any decent kernel. Its only my own OCD that leads me to lean to the R5 lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Don't forget to rename mpdecision if you're on release 5!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] djdisturbed:
I'm having a issue on release 6 with the screen not coming back on after you turn the screen off. I'm running the cm10 kang rom. I flashed the release 6 beta test and it fixed it.

Edit.... Never mind, I went into the cm10 system performance settings and turned off the save at boot check box and now it works fine

Edit 2.... Getting freezes on release 6 kernel, fine on the r6beta
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Imppy:
Release 6 with mpdecision would be nice!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jiggytom:
where can I get r6beta...getting lock ups on r6 too.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] sherpa:
Do you recommend installing the new R6 if I am satisfied with the original R6?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
No, for some reason the tab is freezing randomly. For example it was fine all of yesterday for me, was playing vice city watching Netflix browsing tapatalk and Facebook without issues but today it froze. I pulled the last_kmsg but there wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Comparing that to a kmsg from a working kernel it looks just fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] roustabout:
I'm using r5 on paranoid android and last night I thought that the battery indicator had stopped working!

I did see a few freezeups when I was downloading a gapps update in the background, not sure what to make of that. When the UI froze, the cpu was running flat out. I didn't see it this morning at all, so I do think it had something to do with bringing in the file.

I'm using Trickster to set a -75 UV on boot, the gpu is set to 320, the kernel has its run of frequency from 386 to 1.8 - but I'm telling the ondemand governor to prefer 386 mhz at idle.

won't know for a bit, but I have the feeling the battery life with these settings is going to be great. The UI is responsive - the governor understands what to do when scrolling is going on.

I'll look at r6 tonight.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] looney2388:
so basically if your on version 6 rename mpdecision_bck. terminal wouldnt let me but i renamed it through root explorer. i took bck and have it as mpdecision for now. is this correct?

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

or we rename it if on version 5 only? im confuse here. rename mpdecision_bck for ver 5 or 6?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
If you were on version 6 and want to go back to version 5 or before then rename. I'll be adding that to the script from now on depending on the version and what not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] looney2388:
Yeah I went back to version 5. Version 6 froze on me as well
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] farmer bobathan:
I was wondering if you could please add higher cpu overclock frequencies. My n7 runs great at 2.1ghz on faux's kernel and the difference between available frequencies is the only reason I can't decide on a kernel. Thank you for your great work!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jiggytom:
still getting lockups on r6beta. they stop when I change the governor to ondemand from smartmax.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Is faux sound working properly. I know its not on his kernel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
No

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Malvarose:
I'm pretty happy. Though once I figure out why my apps are crashing on that Elemental kernel, I will be switching to that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] conan1600:
With 9 plus hours screen on battery time in 2 days standby time and overclocks that actually you know... Overclock, and no overheat or throttle issues on this kernel I'll stay put on this kernel as my daily driver till such time as someone offers a kernel that's actually better. Tried em all, ain't found one yet. I have found release 5 rock steady with actual gains over stock. I'm silent because I'm satisfied.

Edit. One of these days I'm going to have to see what kind of screen on time I can get from power save settings with this kernel, but I get such darn good time on demand I just can't seem to garner the interest.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] fadi33:
So is R5 preferred over R6, especially with stability? any advantages of performance and battery life ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:
R6 had some issues. Though I'm curious if R6 will be released here in the near future with the features fixed? :) Here's to hoping.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Soon.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:
He lives :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Cuzz1369:
Any luck getting sound controls (faux) working yet? I haven't seen a 4.3 kernel for any nexus device which works yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Not really. Been playing with GPU voltage control (yes that means you'll be able to UV GPU), more steps for GPU, better GPU governor, refined ondemand governor, boring stuff really :P
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:
Jassy, where, might I be able to modify your click settings for both GPU and CPU? I'd like to play with the GPU file but this is my first attempt at it. Like to play with a few clocks :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
You mean my source? Its in third post. As far as what to play with just go through my commits, you'll see exactly what is what. I usually do one commit at a time instead of cluster****ing commits.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:
Yes thanks found it. Must of been blind. Guess that happens when waking up at 3am in the morning.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] sherpa:
I see that release 7 is out on your link. Is it good to install?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
No, sorry was away and needed a way to download it lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] sherpa:
Actually, I have been running it with no issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] angieri918:
Hey guys which one is release 6?? Is it the very first one with no release details??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] roustabout:
Yeah, you'll need to dig through the thread to find release 6.

Some folks were seeing the smartmax governor make trouble with it. I'm running it using the ondemand governor because the deep sleep on Jassy's kernels works really well and I like having sweep to wake and double tap to wake.

I've been able to get better benchmarks using the Elemental kernels, but the idle battery consumption isn't as good.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Gareee:
After a lot of issues with R6, I had to remove it completely, and reflash stock kernel. Jassy said he is working on 7 now, so I'd stick with the stable R5 till 7 comes out.

Also, use CM, and use the "have your cake and eat it to" thread setting recommendations for the peak performance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
I don't have my tab with me for the time being. I do have a test though that should take care of whatever issues version 6 had. It also has some other experimental stuff that I didn't get to really test when I did have my tab (just one specific change concerning GPU) Anybody up for a little test?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] gerald410:
I'm willing to!:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Bryan949:
I'm using R5 with CM nightly and quadrant hit 7510. Very nice!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Joeful:
I'm down.

Also, which changes were made?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Toxicoblivion:
so, if i read right v5 is what i should install for stability? and can i install this on stock rooted ROM? (just rooted tonight, this is my 1st tablet)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] conan1600:
V5 is my favorite. 6 had a few flaws but was nice. I have run V5 on stock rooted before so yes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WeRSpecialPeople:
Hope V7 will be coming soon and be as stable as V5. V5 is running well and was kind of worried at first but it works great and better than the stock kernel so far. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Hey sorry guys was working on server then had work and some other stuff going on. Should post that test tonight though.

Hey buddy that stock img kernel which ROM build is that from? I'm in the same boat as in flashed this kernel without backing up LOL

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Can someone help me out with all the custom terminology in this thread e.g. msm-mpdecision, install trickster?!?!. I'm confused by all the chat re: this setting and that - all I did was flash v5 and bumped up the OC a notch in setcpu. Is that all you need? How do I tweak all the other settings and what should I tweak?

If I missed it in page 1 then I apologise EDIT just realised trickster is like setcpu ok
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WeRSpecialPeople:
Works fine so far. Let it sit overnight and seems to be fine. Time for some Game testing. What are the changes so far in this one? :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Honestly, a lot of this was done nearly a week ago, I don't remember what all the changes were (and I'm getting ready for work so I can't check) but ondemand is different. Don't remember the exact new settings but if you check with trickstermod you'll see some new sysfs entries. I'll need to look at my repo when I get home for whatever else I did.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] timrock:
i am stock and i just installed this. After wiping davlik and cache, i rebooted, ran a quadrant (got 6000) and then i went to chrome and it froze. I am currently rebooting now.

edit: so far fine after a reboot. reran quadrant and now get 6500
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WeRSpecialPeople:
I also froze when downloading something from chrome. Had to reboot but have not tried downloading anything after. I was fine before this.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] timrock:
yeah, mine froze after downloading something.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Can you guys try downloading again? Need to know if its a reoccurring issue. Like I said, I don't have my tab for now doing semi-blind testing. If need be, I'll just re-release version 6 with ondemand and leave it at that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mumumusuc:
I am using version 7 test 5 now but it seems that it is not as stable as the test 2 is.I got several freeze and reboot during last 2 hours, so, I would ask is this the issues of the kernel or something else? And thank u for ur great wort, I really appreciate it.:thumbup:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WeRSpecialPeople:
Tried downloading something again and it worked. No freeze issues so far at least. Will report if anything happens.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Joeful:
No freezing while or after downloading via Chrome. Will comment if I encounter anything.

P.S. My Quadrant score jumped by 1000+.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] wintermute000:
SOmething I noticed on v5, the battery stats chart (settings) becomes completely invalid. It thinks its not awake 95% of the time and there is NO screen time at all shown (might have to do with msm-mpdecision?) Performance and stability was excellent though. Gone back to stock to wait for OTA but eagerly following this one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] show-p1984:
With my kernel in the mako and various other devices (with msm_mpdecision) battery stats work just fine.

How do you reach that conclusion?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
To add on to what [MENTION=4195844]show-p1984[/MENTION] said, release 5 doesn't have msm_mpdecision enabled by default. Its running Qualcomm's MPDecision.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] wintermute000:
Because it showed no screen on stats even after half a day
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Check your ROM its more likely to be at fault.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] wintermute000:
No worries not fussed thanks

Noobish question: when using TWRP, is backing up / restoring only BOOT the same as the kernel?

i.e. if I try a new kernel and want to revert to stock, can I just restore the boot only from a TWRP?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] bloodhawk:
Combined with CM10.2

Haven't faced any issues yet. Asphalt 8 works flawless at High Graphics Quality! Along with Sine Mora. Love the gaming performance so far. Just have to wait for the battery cycles.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Poke851Le:
V7 crashed the root explorer

I dont know why V7 crashed the root explorer. After V7 flashed, the root explorer was unstable. I think V5 is stable. Thank you for your effort jassycliq !! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lpachuong:
what setting did u use for flawless A8? I got an average of 20 fps only :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] bloodhawk:
I'm using Jassy v5 at 1.5 GHz. And the other settings at stock. Nothing much I did with CM. Im gwetting an average of 32 fps. If I pump up the CPU to 1.8 GHz. Average jumps to 38fps .
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] lpachuong:
thx bloodhawk. I was on v7 beta 5 and it was running pretty smooth. I was on ondemand and set at 1.5ghz. though i didn't get an average of 32 likes urs but being around 30fps is better than 20fps before :) Hopefully the final v7 will give the best balance between battery and performance :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Well, I scrapped mostly everything and started back with release 5.

Will continue using Qualcomm's MPDecision (like on release 5), I removed GPU OC to see how it behaves im hoping to lower heat with this but maintaining its performance, its not a permanent change though, it could change depending on whether or not there's a significant difference(it has a higher bus bandwidth though that's how I'm hoping to keep performance high), its -O3 optimized, faux sound is updated, and a bit of debugging is removed.

here's the test kernel, hopefully will be updated to release if no issues arise.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Joeful:
Flashing now. Will mention any issues.

EDIT: Everything seems to be in order. Browsed via Chrome, listened to music, played some Bejeweled Blitz, moved some files around in ES Explorer, etc. No stuttering, force closing, or freezing. I've got it paired with CleanROM 1.5, and a custom navbar that was posted in the CleamROM thread. My Quadrant score is sitting at around 5,500. It's been higher, but I don't notice it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] squashpile:
Just updated from r5.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Lower quadrant score may be attributed to lower GPU clock. Personally I rarely had thermal kick in while using intelli-thermal, so performance would rarely suffer but that's just me. If you guys wan't I may upload one with GPU OC? idk was just trying playing around with the idea.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Oh yeah, forgot to mention. No need to rename anything you guys, installation zip takes care of it. So if you want to switch kernels or just go back to release 5, use that test zip so you guys don't have to do it manually ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Joeful:
I'm good with this one, as long as it's stable. xD
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] itsmejson:
Can I flash this kernel with the latest ota? I only have

an unlocked bootloader and not fully rooted yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] wintermute000:
flashing kernels is done in recovery (zip) or fastboot (img) root should be irrelevant but you won't be able to run any of the apps that monitor/alter the behaviour (trickster, setcpu etc.) so you'll be stuck with whatever default clocks, governors, volts etc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] itsmejson:
Got it thanks for the info
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Any thoughts about lower GPU clock? Did performance take much of a hit? Heat? :P
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mumumusuc:
I tried the beta6 and it is truly stable and power save.

I notice that the lower GPU frequence brings the lower fps in game and benchmark. In the Antutu GPU test, the scores decrease from 7800(beta2) to 7000(beta6).for more details,

When running the OpenGL ES 2.0 test, the fps is 25 in ave’(used to be 30) and 33 the maximum.

So,I think maybe the GPU oc to 450MHz is the probable way to deal with both the heat and the performance.

And thank u for your nice work:thumbup:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] looney2388:
How come the gpu oc max is 400 with beta 6? Version 5 was 487 max
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
Was a test. Will post release 7 soon and that'll be back to 487mhz.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] looney2388:
OK and also im glad you added faux sound cus i tried faux kernel to boost my sound but didnt like the kernel so i went back to yours and now using beta 6. ill stick with this til version 7 comes out
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:

Changelog in 2nd post.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:
Still getting the GPU to be 487Mhz... any Reason why this would be happening still?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
I raised it back... Would you like a 400mhz version?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:
Yeah would like a 400 or 450Mhz version. Seems like I've been having issues with the higher frequencies as of late. Think its heating up to much and throttling.

Was running Faux's for a few days at 450 and seemed to do great. Even Faux's at 487 was causing issues for me. I know your R5 worked great at 487 but I knew it was throttling in games.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
I'll try 450 then, give me a bit trying to fix a laptop once I finish I'll compile a kernel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] conan1600:
Also interested in trying 450 GPU. And I'm really excited about faux sound now that my long battle with Google play is over where I had to prove to my google overlord I'm me so they would take my stinkin money to buy apps again. I'll download faux sound and enjoy the extras soon.

Edit ... Ohh my deity I'm in Google hell here. Tried to make a purchase and declined, account suspended again. Google play support sucks butt cheese. I've never witnessed this kind of incompetence.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Tooke:
What ROMs?

Hi guys, this looks like some awesome work. I am going to do some work on a friends new N7 2013 and I was interested in what ROMs people have been running this kernel with. Anyone running a rooted stock build with this kernel? OP, will this work with a rooted stock build?

Thanks all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Deathman20:
Was running release 5 with this on stock build. Actually the only Kernel I used on stock build til I tried something else this past weekend.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Tooke:
Thanks for the info Deathman20!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] looney2388:
I have tested fauxsound and it works superb:laugh: I couldve used this a long time ago but its better to have it now then never;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] parmend:
What app would you guys recommend for CPU adjustment?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jassycliq:
For something free, I'd recommend TricksterMod. For full compatibility, I'd have to say FauxClock. TricksterMod does a good enough job but it lacks proper intelli-thermal support and snake charmer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] conan1600:
Jassy release 7 with the correct settings is a total win. I highly recommend it. Awesome Benchmarks, great real world performance, faux sound support is a very nice bonus, smooth daily runner. Very impressive Jassy. Thank you for a great Kernel
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dpaik:
actually scratch that...latest build caused my tab to stop on nexus logo bootscreen...had to wipe data and reinstalled rom to get back to a working tab...gonna stay on stock CleanRom 1.5 kernel...please fix
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] itsmejson:
I'm sure this is real simple but how do I edit the sweep too wake and double tap settings? I know where they are located just need to know how to edit. Also where would the faux sound settings be located?

Once I turn on sweep2wake and dt2wake, why does it reset after a restart? Is there a way to always be on?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] WeRSpecialPeople:
Did experience another freeze when using chrome. :confused: Don't know why it happened this time. I am using the stock ROM and had no other applications loaded. Any idea?

EDIT: It never froze again so far. Seems to just happen when I flash and run chrome the first time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] looney2388:
For some reason Im experiencing freeze sometimes that I have to reboot and battery drain higher than before. Im using the settings you posted with fauxclock on page 19.
