A premium amount? It wasn't that much. I have no problem spending the equivalent of a small drink to get a great enhancement app like faux sound. I don't expect Sony to give me a free surround sound system with my purchase of the PS4 and I don't expect a recognized developer to give away additional enhancements for his kernel either.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Whafrodamus:
Amen!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
And if the app was such a premium, then what are you doing running around with a $270 tablet. Oh and we got the kernel for free......and his time he could have spent doing something else.......and nobody made you pay for the app.......that's about it I think, have a good evening :D

Sorry for asking what may be a dumb question to some but I've never had the opportunity to try Faux's kernel and now that I do I'm really wanting to check it out. My question is I got Faux Clock which I assume is similar to apps like trickster that allows you to make adjustments to the kernel but what exactly is the kernel support.xml for and is that something I need to use? Just want to make sure I get the most out of it. Thanks.

Should we delete the file that we used on the earlier version, or does that not matter?

Also, regarding the other poster complaining about paying $1.99 for the other app......seriously? Two bucks. I'm going to buy it even though I don't care about sound tweaks just to show my appreciation for this "premium" kernel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
It's pretty easy to criticize something on xda when somebody else does all the work and all you have to do is install it. For Faux, really this is the last any of us should say on it, let the thread move forward and let's all just enjoy what Faux has given us. Personally I would have gladly paid $5 for the app. I've tried almost every ROM for the N7 and on every ROM I've tried, Faux's kernel has made a significant boost in speed and smoothness to them all. We are all grown ups here and for the work that he has put into his kernels over the time he's been here at XDA, the long nights he's probably had, all the coding he's done and so on and so forth, we should at least respect him for what he does and not post random nasty comments that add nothing of value for anybody. Doing that and attacking or accusing Faux does nothing for anybody either, and he doesn't deserve it. Sorry for the rant :) just want the thread to stay civil and I want to see the dev of this awesome kernel get the respect he deserves.

Curious, does sound hax work for those of us with Bluetooth headsets who can't use corded earphones without breaking them, hehe? Really loving my BlueBudsX, great sound and great for exercising (sweat proof warranty) but I notice other sound mods and apps have separate controls specifically for A2DP Bluetooth headsets so I wanted to ask first, thanks.

lol, yeah...its me. Ive been lurking. Since D1 I had tbolt, gnex, and now the s4 and 2013 n7. Gave up on theming since ICS because my apktool was giving me compiling errors...and I didnt want to spend the energy to solve all the java errors that kept plaguing me. Pretty frustrating to decompile and dig and play and make changes to stuff for a couple hours and have a fail during recompiling.

Hell...I dont even have a laptop now. lol

sorry for ot

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

I paid for the app. 2 bucks is no biggie. as far as development goes...i dont think any of these devs are sitting around thinking about how much time they devote to android. For most...its a hobby. Sure...any dev can and does spend time doing other stuff, but most of them probably have a bit of an obsession about it. At least I did when I was theming.

If I had to pay for a kernel...id run stock. Thats the reality that devs face. At best...devs can hope that maybe google will incorporate their discoveries into factory software...and everyone uses it. For free. I remember back on the D1 nobody ever charged money for anything. Ever. The worst people used to gripe about was getting kanged. Now everyone kangs...and charges money for stuff. As long as people are willing to pay for it...they will.

Me personally...If i think my nexus 7 is too quite (which I did think that), and a dev puts out a kernel with a feature to improve that...and it only cost me 1.99.....Big deal. I spend more than that on monster energy drinks every day. 2 bucks...and my tablet sounds great.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Good points. Just don't wanna see the dude getting attacked or taking uneccesary crap. Never actually owned a device before that had a Faux kernel on it, so don't really know him at all....but I'm sure he doesn't really like it just like you or I wouldn't :)

Follow the 5 step process and re-install superuser if necessary from the 2nd link.

All these issues are related to broken busybox and broken superuser...

for superuser I highly recommend superSU
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] yakitori2:
as for the faux sound app...it does work. The change is a subtle one though. its not going to turn your nexus into a jambox. Think about how small those speakers are...they just cant drive a big output. Your best bet as far as sound goes is to use in conjuction with DSP manager.

My personal settings are...Custom in Fauxsound app...speaker gain set to +7.

use DSP manager to adjust higher frequency up...dont try to turn up the lower frequency responses...or it will be distorted. Distortion destroys speakers. You should be able to achieve a decent volume increase w/o effecting sound quality too much. If it sounds distorted...back the gain down. If you have gain too high...you get clipping and distortion...youre GONNA ruin your hardware. In DSP manager...I basically only turn up the 3 channels on the far right.

If you want your nexus to be LOUD LOUD LOUD...plug it into a good audio output...or better yet...invest in a bluetooth speaker. I wish I had 250 to spend on a Jawbone Jambox....those suckers are LOUD for as small as they are. Pretty awsome sound quality too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Thanks for the write up. Never really played with gain and stuff like that myself very much. Was wondering what the best combo is. I'll give that a try :thumbup:

Hey faux I'm trying to implement faux sound in the stock kernel of my rom, I've put in the two commits you previously made then the new patch and still doesn't seem to work with your app. Is there anything else needed to get it working?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] stab244:
Correct busybox. Stock CM busybox doesn't work if you have that installed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] faux123:
The app currently check the version of the kernel :( I will make it compatible with stock kernel in the next version...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
OK cool :).. Thanks for all your hard work not just the kernel but your apps are top notch.

I built you a 100% stock flo kernel with fauxsound support

you can get it here:

http://faux.androidro.ms/flo/flo-jb-stock-fauxsound.zip

the github is here:

https://github.com/faux123/flo_nexus7/commits/stock_jb_mr2

you can use it as a starting point to add more stuff to it while keeping fauxsound compatibility.

I will need to update my fauxsound app as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tiffany84:
Hey, I have nothing in my checking account until tomorrow so I plan on buying Faux Sound then but are you able to control the sound with Trickster until that time?

Appears to be running just fine to me. No issues or hickups. Plus, pa is a hybrid so it takes the best of both builds. So, any kernel should work just fine.

Are you getting anything above 19k in AnTuTu with the latest PA and Faux kernel? A lot of ppl aren't getting an improvement over that number.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] copota:
On my Nexus 2013, I just flashed over PA 3.98, and then flashed Faux's latest Ultra kernel. My overall score dropped, as well as my CPU score, when compared to my last benchmark of my stock ROM & kernel.

AnTuTu Benchmarks

Stock ROM & Kernel

1512 MHz

Total Score 18419

CPU Score: 7401

GPU Score: 7224

PA 3.98 and Faux Ultra (not sure of exact scores, forgot to screenshot)

2300 MHz

Total Score: in the low 18K's

CPU Score: in the 7300's

GPU Score: in the low 7300's

PA 3.98 and Stock Kernel

1512 MHz

Total Score: 19330

CPU Score: 7405

GPU Score: 8040

Thats the case when trying to worship bleeding edge.

Anyhow, thank you to Faux for your continued support of this fine kernel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
You know what's weird is I've noticed the scores vary pretty widely from ROM to ROM. I've seen anywhere from mid 19's to 2350ish. I've used the same kernel, faux ultra with same settings on every rom: 1720 CPU cap, inteli- everything, snake charmer, fiops and swaps.

I am always curious why these type of hacks are so popular.... I mean aside from the "wow, cool factor to show off to friends", is there really benefit for these?

I guess I will have to grab the code from somewhere and hack it into a more organized module. Right now all the patches out there are all very disorganized and not very modular. It should be made into a standalone module and have some overall organizational structure to the code to make it more portable and more easily adapted to newer architectures.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] freeza:
This kernel causes my Nexus 7 to seemingly have its hardware acceleration turn off.....so to speak.

After playing a graphically intense game, the tablet suddenly becomes quite laggy and this is apparent most when scrolling in the web browser. You can see screen tearing all over the place. This, however, does not happen with the stock kernel.

IO sched: ROW/2048

GPU: 487 (it does it no matter what the setting)

CPU: 1.9GHz seems to be default, but I OC to either 2.0 or 2.1GHz

ECO mode: On

Dynamic fsync: On

CPU GOV: OnDemand and Interactive both with no change in results.

UV: -12.5mv

Not sure what else is relevant information. I will try the kernel again with stock settings and see how it performs.

Scores across the board seem to get lowered as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] stab244:
Most likely throttle. Games tend to make the tablet really hot.

Running for 2 days, no problems yet. Stock cpu and gpu.

Off topic: is there a Faux kernel for the GE GS4?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
I haven't quite figured it out either, but for devices like the G-nex, that have had reports of wonky power buttons, it's good to have other options. I can see s2w/dt2w (like ElementalX Kernel) being good for the N7 since the power button is almost under the device and requires to almost pick up the device to turn it on (unless you have a case that turns on when opened.)

It's a cool / lazy factor but it's one of those "once you have it" sorta things
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DroidIt!:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] natezire71:
I would love to see Faux adopt what ElementalX has. I like ElementalX's doubletap2w and s2s--but I never got good battery life on it. I'm using Faux's ES and I love it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Oh, figured out which Rom it was, it was vanir beta 3, it's since been updated to beta 4 and it doesn't seem to do that anymore. But yeah, I used to get the same thing on that one even without any gaming, it just did it right from the install. So like I said, I think it might just be a Rom thing.

Hey Faux, actually wanted to ask you a question as well. Noticed when I install different roms and I go into faux clock, often the values for swaps and stuff like that are set to different defaults when I first open the app. Was just wondering if I should leave the values where they're at or should I change them to what the app says are the defaults. I mean does the faux clock app automatically calculate what the ideal values are automatically or should I change the values myself?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] SSMI:
I tried using this kernel for a few days but had to stop. Maybe I was just missing a configuration or something. I got a Poetic Slimline with magnet waking on the nexus. When I used this kernel, it would only wake for a few minutes after the flap was closed. If I went back to it 10 min later opening the flap wouldn't turn on the device.

Is there a way to fix that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bso44:
You're positive it's this kernel? The sleep/wake feature works properly with the same ROM on a different kernel?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] SSMI:
Yeah. It will work for a fee minutes but then the tablet goes into deep sleep or something and it won't wake until I pish the power button. Pretty sure I was using mainline.

It's not a kernel problem. It happens to quite a few people, including me (on stock Slimbean kernel).

I have a replacement coming in. But right now, it's very weird with my cover:

* Set the tab to sleep is no problem.
