[MENTION=4895283]tashik19[/MENTION]: It is incredibly rude to demand an update like that. Having done a little bit of kernel hacking myself, I can say that it's not easy. Give Franco some time. He'll get to it. The biggest reason he hasn't done anything yet has already been said in this thread. He is on vacation with his GF right now.

[MENTION=4468286]bokoy[/MENTION]: Just because people have paid for his app or donated doesn't give them the right to demand instantaneous updates. I'm not privy to Franco's private life but most devs do this stuff as a hobby. People don't donate because they think they are purchasing a service or support. They donate as a way of saying thanks. The android 4.4 kernel was completely rebased from the JellyBean kernel. That means that all of Franco's customizations and improvements had to be added back in from scratch. Expecting a first release, such as r5, to be perfectly stable is ludicrous. There is a reason this is called a development thread rather than a release thread. When something is in development, it's not always going to be perfectly stable. Just as an example, look how many different kernels he has released for the N5 already.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bokoy:
Agree with you, but r5 is a release, supose to be stable not a test neither an alpha or beta, it just was not even test to boot before been released/uploaded. This forum is for development but is also were you find the final and estable versions, I guess you get a bit confused with the word development.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
If Franco wasn't away he would have sorted it so I guess its just unfortunate timing. If he didn't push an update there would be people moaning about no 4.4 update. Franco wanted to get the release out for n4 and both n7s so probably was pushed for time for testing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ipnekgs:
When flashing custom kernels, it is understood that these issues might happen. You give away any rights to complain or demand ETA from developer. We are all free to go back to stock kernel or try another kernel.

I had a couple of reboots, I said oh well, flashed stock kernel back. Life goes on. Franco will be back and release r6 fixing any issues and life will go on, same as before.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bokoy:
Just what I'm saying, to much pressure, not the good work we are use to with him.

I don't know if someone has understood that but I'm not demanding anything, again I care a f*** about these release, I'm not arguing. Mine is going to asus for second time for the touch screen issues and is fully restored and locked, for sure when it is back we will have an awesome kernell working. Neither agree with the aggresive demanding people in general.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] shreddintyres:
Respectfully, I'm afraid you dont understand what development means. Development implies an unfinished product and if you look at other kernels or roms you will be hard pressed to find any that is completely buggless on the 5th release. If its not to your requirements switch to another kernel or wait and contribute to development by providing logs and detailed bug reports. No where has it been stated that the kernel is flawless or completely stable.

- Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Warbuff:
Franco is on vacation according to his g+. Also nowhere does it say that r5 is a stable release.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] dxwilliams40:
R5 is listed as a nightly. So flash at your own risk. The reason we do these things is because we have learned to fix our own problems when they occur.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ipnekgs:
This! Wish everyone would understand this...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] FormelLMS:
Hi everyone.

I've installed r5 on the latest kitkat update and can't get titanium backup to work again.

Does someone have the same issue?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] MMeester:
Are you on ART instead of dalvik? If you are, then it's a known issue. If you aren't, we need a bit more information. What happens if you use TB? What ROM? Root issue?

I run Franco without TB issues in multiboot 4.4, so it's probably on your side.

N7(flo)-PA3.99-franco.kernel

N4(mako)-PKK4.4-franco.kernel
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] FormelLMS:
Damn, I've totally forgotten those ART thing.

Well, have to say sorry and thanks.

Never change two things in one time....

ART was the problem truly.

Again, sorry :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] konradsa:
You got it to boot? Thought r5 is DOA based on all the other posts here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] ipnekgs:
Not really, R5 worked mostly fine in my tablet. A few random reboots but it boots.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Cruiserdude:
It'll boot, but it does tend to reboot randomly. I wasn't having problems at first, and then it starting to happen with increasing frequency, until I just couldn't stand it. Seeemed to happen most often with heavy graphics loads.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] habylab:
Happens for me with anything, just a ticking time bomb that doesn't know when to go off.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] GHOSTIVVI:
What ROM are most people running with r5?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] MMeester:
You better set up a poll if you really want to know, anything else will clutter the thread just too much.

Back to topic: are you guys sure the reboots happen because of the kernel? Had a few reboots on rastakat today but didn't bother to reflash stock kernel as of yet but may do so instead of blaming xposed beta ;)

N7(flo)-Rastakat-franco.kernel

N4(mako)-PKK-franco.kernel
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Tuckycv:
Reboots are due to kernel, is a known issue. It happen to me using stock 4.4 ROM. Haven't found yet a custom ROM worst flashing IMO.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] deezid:
So I should flash stock Boot.img now (which allows me to boot) and then pull this file?

My Nexus 7 DEB LTE stucks in a bootloop with franco's latest kernel.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jak3z:
Try the image I attached on my post, and verify the MD5 sum is correct.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] shreddintyres:
Ignore my process, my apologies i misread what you had posted as you were experiencing random reboots, im not sure if this will work at all with a bootloop.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] deezid:
MD5 was identical... :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jak3z:
So the img I gave you and the one you had, have the same MD5? This is really strange...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] deezid:
yes, they're the same.

Don't know why this kernel doesn't boot with:

JLC36C (with root, xposed framework etc...)

JLC36C (with root, xposed framework. wiped Dalvik and cache)

JLC36C (with root, but data wiped)

JSS35J (factory resetted)

JSS35J (data restored)

etc...

flashed through TWRP or fastboot

I don't know whats wrong with my Nexus 7... :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jak3z:
I will think for a bit and come back :P

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] derlachendehans:
I'm expieriencing the same problem, also tried flashing the zip with twrp, flashing the img with fastboot, with or without wipe of dalvik cache ...

But i got a logcat, maybe one of you can see whats the problem:

pastebin.com/0kRxLBjJ
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jak3z:
Looks like the mediaserver is not being started for some reason, can you paste your init.rc file?

You can do this from ADB, adb.exe shell "cat init.rc | grep media"

Keep the " " to make it run grep. you should get something like this:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] janjansen85:
i have just encountered the same problem not having found a solution...

- flash zip leads to bootloop

- fastboot img leads to bootloop

- wipe cache partition / dalvik cache has no influence on the result

- using using different twrps (2.6.0 and 2.6.3) does not have any effect

BR
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] derlachendehans:
sorry did read your update just after i had pasted it:

http://pastebin.com/DZqbcMV6

just four your info, this time i did not flash the kernel, because i`m tired of flashing this kernel over and over again.

i just booted it with fastboot, but as far as i understand android this should make no difference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Its pretty strange that some users with Deb cannot boot. I will try to find out why.

It should work. I'll take a looksie.

I couldn't push the source last night, I waited 1 hour for it to finish but git was too damn slow. I'll take another crack today.

No.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jak3z:
This is really strange, I don't know why I got it working, well I flashed it from his app, but it shouldn't make any difference, unless he did a mistake on the img and the app prevents it, and that doesn't make any sense.

The logcat of the person above had a problem starting the mediaserver, so I figured that the init.rc would have something to do, but it can be a problem of the ramdisk used by the kernel.

Me really need to wait for franco I guess... I'm a newbie in kernels.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] habylab:
Thank you! I am having the same issue with normal chrome too! https://app.box.com/s/vvknouha4hz3bb0ubxiz

Oddly, no issues with Dan Kernel, but that is fairly stock. I had huge issues with Faux sadly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jak3z:
Still getting reboots? Then I'm clueless...

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Franco you know you can use my LTE device as test device right? :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] deezid:
What if the App just didn't install the kernel before? Take a look in about phone.

If it didn't flash correctly, try flashing the boot-r1.img. I guess your device won't work anymore as mine. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] jak3z:
Wait a minute, I just realized that the Stock kernel is 16 Mb and this is 6Mb, :confused: :eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] dimebagdan65:
Sit back and relax guys... r5 was the initial KitKat build from Franco and then he went on a much deserved vacation with his girl. As soon as he gets back, he'll be fixing things again just like always. For now, stick with stock, it still provides decent/good battery life and before you know it we'll have the Franco buttery goodness once again. If you're really interested in keeping up to date I suggest you follow him on Google+ (that's how I know he's on vacation lol)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] norcalsfinest:
For those having issues with random reboots,

I cherry picked the bootloader img, boot IMG, cache IMG and system img from the Google Factory Images and flashed them each partition individually with fastboot.

Then, I reflashed root from TWRP using SuperSu zip.

Then, I used FKU app to autoflash R5 over my new semi clean ROM. Not a single reboot since.

If you have no idea what I just said, don't try it, and don't ask. I'm not a teacher, and not going to be the one you blame when things go wrong.

If you feel comfortable enough to flash the ENTIRE Factory Image in fast boot that would work too, but you'll lose all your data
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] habylab:
That sounds interesting. Still no reboots? How long a period is this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mirco_pa:
I prefer waiting for a new update from Franco. Thanks anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Cruiserdude:
I just fastboot flashed it all, as I always do when Google has a new update. Sometimes I backup and restore, but if it's just a point release I just change the flash-all.sh script to not wipe my data, by removing the -w flag.

Even so, it'll still give you reboots eventually, there's something wrong with r5.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] norcalsfinest:
36 hours now and counting
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] smallvan:
I fastbooted flash-all.bat to upgrade to Kitkat 4.4 with factory image. Rooted and flashed SMS mod by GuyAdams. But, got boot loop every time with r5. Have to stay with the stock kernel and wait. :confused: :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r6!

* Merge enhancements to my Hotplug driver from my N5 work

* Merge enhancements to interactive governor from my N5 work

* Improve gaming performance

* Merge enhancements to my GPU governor from my N5 work

* Sound boosts do not randomly reset anymore

Enjoy please :)

Nevermind, Tablet running smooth and i have noticed the screen is much more responsive
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nope, I've run mine for 1 hour playing games and its just fine, what rom are you using? I'm using the same codes that I use on the N4 and the N5, they don't have any 10 seconds random reboots.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] rodrigo9411:
Well actually it did it like 5 times (I was trying to install the fku app and it rebooted), but had no reboots since then :s i will edit my post sorry haha
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You had something borked on your device for sure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bokagavrilov:
i think undervolting its the problem for the random reboots every few mins i got that too, (cought a last kernel messege if u need it) on 4.3 i had no problems with -50 now it cant even handle this. I had the same issue with the other 4.4 kernel too. Now with stock values its been running like 10m without a reboot
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] StiffyBoy:
Hate to say it Franco but I'm running a completely stock Nexus 7 that I literally bought 4 days ago. Just flashed this and had a reboot after using it for 3 minutes.

I use your kernels on Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 since forever and so I know your work very well and have never had any issues. I sincerely don't think my device is 'borked' bro.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] MMeester:
I have no clue what's happening. Latest kernel runs rock solid on my N4, but reboots my N7 regularly. Rom kernel is completely stable.

I was unable to get last kmsg and won't have time to do so before next week. Probably others will have more luck before.

This one is with - 50uv https://www.dropbox.com/s/2gjk8r6j0nk5p9e/last_kmsg1

This is completely stock values and rebooted while scrolling the previous kernel msg https://www.dropbox.com/s/1u05emaiv4aydt6/last_kmsg

The first one rebooted just few secs after it booted completely I think it was while scrolling the browser

Thanks for the logs guys, I think I may have an idea whats happening. Sorry though!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] paaaulo:

It would be great if you add compatibility info to OP.

R7 definitely fixed the reboots, much appreciated. Is there any chance we will see speaker gain control like there is on the n5?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] TrenchKato:
The speaker is already pretty loud
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] nickj2010:
I don't want it louder, I want it lower :p

When in bed I listen on the lowest setting but this has a nasty hissing, with negative speaker gain I can use higher volume setting where the hiss isn't present, yet the device is still quiet enough.

I hate that buzzing at low volume, I'm interested too, I ever use it in the lowest or the next step of volume.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Hanny:
What happened from r6 to r7? What is "Improved gaming performance" in the changelog? It is the essentially the same as r194 to r196 on mako as they basically have the same SoC.

Can't make separate tests on flo cause mine is still on 4.3 for now. Will do separate ones in future builds for more accurate fps and any possible device-specific differences. beware of that because my N7 is fully loaded with games :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] anaglich:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] nickj2010:
I used faux sound with elementalx kernel to set the speaker gain to -10, but I prefer Francos hotplug so I would rather stay with this, but watching videos in bed is one of my main uses so I might have to switch back to another kernel :(

p.s. shot you a post on G+ regarding a few questions I had with FKU
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] dud3me:
Yeah, do you know if Franco's sound mod thing on N4 version does the same?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bokoy:
I guess it would be easy for him to give us speaker control. We can manage headset but not the speakers with his app, in the n5 we can control both.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] SupWiz17:
I don't know if it has been changed but I though under volting was useless on this device because the soc automatically lowers the voltage to the lowest it can run at.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] deezid:
Hopefully the Deb version will be released soon. My Nexus 7 would perform so much better with it. :)

Is the bootloop bug the same happening with the first deb compatible Franco kernel?

Until then, Viper4Android gives a nice little boost (but N7 has decent volume stock, IMO). Activate Convolver and use the Urei 1178.irs and bump the Master Gate +3.5db. Something to try, if you want.
