[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Franco has been crazy busy working on nailing the new release on n5 with quite alot of test builds. People forget franco is just one guy, he is only human and while maintaining the ability to have a normal life style and a girlfriend we can't ask for more. Things that work well on n5 will come here I'm sure but it just takes time. He is just a guy not with a whole team to support him
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
I think it finally rebooted on 810@750 while I was charging it. The voltage reset itself. 775 it is. Borderline is so tricky with this device though! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
**Copy paste post over all current Franco kernel device threads**

I'm trying to list all compatible roms that work with Franco kernel in my Franco Kernel and FKU Learner lounge thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532422 . If you are using a custom rom with Franco kernel can you report which device your running and the name of your rom? I am keeping a list for each device for reference.

Please post in my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532422 don't fill Franco's threads with the answers. I don't own all devices so can't do this single handedly, your help as a community will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Iv settled for -75 across the board, some freq might take the full -100 but I'm happy enough with -75 and over clock up to 1.7ghz. Battery is still good
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Stevemeister:
I've settled for -75mV aswell, -100 seems to be borderline for my N7.

BTW, hopefully some of the new kernel patches on the r33 kernel for the N5 can also be used for this device. They seems to improve battery life a bit on my N5.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] sandm4n:
Been using this kernel for the past 3 weeks, smooth, stable and getting really good battery life. Great work Franco! Thanks! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] frozst:
Hi all,

I changed to SlimKat now (tired of Carbon updates...) and when I flash the kernel I lose the root access so I have to install SuperSU again. Now is working but I using SuperSU instead of the integrated app that comes with SlimKat.

Do you know how to fix this?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Yes. Turn on root in developer settings in SlimKat. A simple search in the Slim thread would've shown you that. Plenty of info on it.

Hey guys! Next week i will get a Nexus 7 2013!! I am a Franco Kernel user with my Nexus 4, and i will be with N7, my question is, its dangerous to push this device to 1.7 ghz for daily usage with this kernel? Will it degrade my cpu?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bokagavrilov:
From what I remember the Nexus 7 has a under-clocked snapdragon 600(and that works out of the box at 1.7ghz) the model number of the cores is the same as the s600.. But the gpu it's different so that's why it was called s4 still I guess

On wiki ( http://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon) it says that it's a 600 but advertised as s4... XD so why we shouldn't have it at 1.7 when all the rest of the devices with s600 came at 1.7 ;)

What about battery drainage and heat over this speed?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 4 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bokagavrilov:
I never had heat problems this isn't the n4 you won't even feel it here. About the battery it really depends of your usage so can't say really but I'm happy with it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
Does this kernel have support for smart covers, or is that a ROM feature? I posted a similar question in the thread of the ROM I'm using (Mahdi) and got told by another user using Glitch kernel that it had an option to enable/disable the feature. I was told to investigate /sys/module/lid, but looking at my tablet, this path doesn't exist...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] teddy0209:
Don't know about this since i have deb, but Glitch and Elemental x have that support... =)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Puzzlegirl:
It works with a smart cover anyway - I thought it was a stock feature. If you want to disable it, that's more of a problem, (though I think there may be an Xposed module which can do that).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Iv been using 1.7 as max speed for a little while and haven't really noticed worse battery life. You can be smart about how you allow your apps to run using the per apps mode if you but the full version of fku.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] hardwareadictos:
Thanks for the response man, i was refearing to this, to the battery drain and all of that, i think this cpu is not a 600 processor, is an hybrid between 600 and s4 pro, maybe google has done it for battery life, with 3950 mah battery they can assembly a more thinner tablet and reducing CPU mhz to 1512 can increase battery life, so, maybe putting cpu to 1.7 ghz is not as good as we think.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
The CPU is either a bad sd600 or great s4 but it is somewhere between the two, I linked in my fku Lerner lounge thread just now where its explained properly. Your probably right about the mild umderclock though, they did the same to the galaxy nexus, native 1.5ghz but they released it with 1.2 GHz. Personally I can't tell the difference in a notable way regarding battery but it does help my flo not feel quite not as snappy compared to my hammerhead.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] frozst:
Of course I tried but it didn't work... That's why I was asking. Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Yeah. Search was broken last night. I found that out for myself. My apologies. Have you enabled root in developer settings of Slim? Flashing this kernel doors not break root. The problem is somewhere else.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] frozst:
No, I meant that I of course enabled the root on developer settings but it didn´t solve the issue. When I flash FK I lose the root access so then I have to flash SuperSU. The thing is now that I'm root now but using the SuperSU app, not the integrated in the ROM... It may be that this kernel is not compatible or something...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
I do not have that problem. I do not lose root when I flash FK. How are you flashing it? .zip or fastboot? Try a clean install & see what it does.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
To get the built-in ROM interface to work again, you just need to reinstall Koush's Superuser instead of SuperSU, since that's what it's based on.

Root on this ramdisk is working by the install-recovery.sh workaround until Franco adds my "bulletproof" universal native service support.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
I want to enable it, but not by flashing another kernel. Any word from [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] about this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Puzzlegirl:
I'm pretty sure mine worked even before I ever flashed a custom kernel and it certainly works with rooted stock and Franco kernel. I know the N7 2012 tended to be touchy as to whether it worked or not, but never had a problem with N7 2013. I open the cover, the device wakes up, I close it and it goes to sleep. Sorry I can't be of any help, but it just works!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
Yeah, weird thing about that. I tested it the other day by closing the first 1/3 of the cover so the screen went off. Opening it again immediately made the screen come on, so I have no idea what's going on. Opening the cover after the device has been idle for a while (I haven't timed) doesn't do anything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] anwedr:
I know the smart cover turns the screen on and off, I have a smart cover on the device, but anyone notice a huge drain in battery with the cover? I get an insane two full days of battery usage. Before I had the cover, the tablet would idle for a good 7 days.

Can I help test LTE versions?

I'd be glad to test on my LTE model. Really miss not having FK installed. It is on my N4 and N5.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
From what I've seen, I'm guessing that when the device is asleep, it doesn't respond to smart cover openings (I've noticed that sometimes, Aldiko gets kills when I shut the cover).

I guess that's better than having a wakelock?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Hmm mine immediately turns on when I open the cover, and I receive notifications, apps update, etc. no problem with it closed. So I'm not sure what the difference is for you.. I even just had it closed for 24h, no issue with it not coming back from deep sleep.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
Need a logcat or last_kmsg?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Wouldn't hurt!

last_kmsg is only useful if you can reboot without resorting to holding down the power button (that's the same as a battery pull and doesn't produce a last_kmsg).

Not sure how you'd go about getting a useful logcat either. That's the problem with SODs. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] GrijzeGeest:
Hi, you may want to read this thread, it may not be related to the kernel:

https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/nexus/nAI1sgnM0Ys/LlLBF8eWGJ0J

Apparently it was a known problem and you need to have the latest firmware for the nexus 7 2013 to fix it. (Had problems before, is ok now)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
I don't actually get a SOD. The device still wakes up if I use a physical button, just not the cover...

I'm running Mahdi 2.5. AFAIK, it's based on the newest revision of Android. I'll investigate.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Cool so definitely if you can get it to trigger immediately after a reboot (so the log is basically empty) and then reboot again (using the Android menu) once you reproduce the issue, hopefully some info will be in the last_kmsg. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
Ok, unplugged my tablet, let it sit for a while, opened the cover, no response. Rebooted, here is last_kmsg.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Huge log since it wasn't from after a fresh reboot, but I'll see if I can pick anything out.

Never actually used stock kernel on this device, always Franco, did a clean flash with multirom and slimkat few weeks back and it turns out it ain't too bad! Haven't booted to the stock and Gravity box rom in ages...I reckon kernel has the least influence on battery on this device, switching to slim and being careful with what I install has doubled by battery life - averaging 9hrs+ screen time over two three days, no joke.

Franco kernel definitely helps on the n5 though

Will flash r12 on slim and post my impressions later

There is UV and this is a kernel thread, and Franco's at that, so perhaps keep your recommendations elsewhere?

No init.d built into the ramdisk yet. No native su daemon support either. Hopefully for the next one. :fingers-crossed:

Depends which PVS version you have

https://github.com/franciscofranco/flo/blob/nightlies-4.3/arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-8064.c#L241

Look at

static struct acpu_level tbl_PVS0_1512MHz[] __initdata = {

For your PVS version

This is stock google source ACPUCLOCK, as you see franco has not touched it in this commit (he did later on)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:
Is this why superuser doesn't work correctly on custom roms?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Yes. But it should still work via the install-recovery.sh method after you flash Koush's standalone install zip, same goes for SuperSU.

Hi Franco, used your kernel for my old nexus 7 2012 and loved it and I'm still useung it. I was wondering can you please add Color Control, I want a nice blue tint to my nexus 7 2013. thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] sizzlers:
Has Franco quit supporting this device, cause lots of time passed without anything new.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Stevemeister:
Nah.. he's busy with the Nexus 5 kernel and with his FKU/Per-App modes applications.

There are some issues regarding CAF commits that he merged in his Nexus 5 kernel, so that has a higher priority than this kernel since its very stable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] CrunchMilk:
I have installed the PAC Rom and tried to flash the kernel but myscreen goes bonkers after the splash screen. There are weird graphical glitches. I think the device boots up fine, but i am not sure..

Hope anybody can help me :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mdamaged:
I think PAC is CAF, so it can't use non-CAF kernels, this sounds like it's at least using the CAF video driver.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Sounds like it contains CAF display drivers, fix by reflash the rom or use another AOSP rom

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
If it's phone crashes, a ramdisk update is required for MSIM (CM-based and those that kanged that feature like Vanir), and PAC Framework (PAC-Man ROM).

Go pester Francisco in the N5 thread. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] mdamaged:
SuperSU has a setting to 'respect superuser settings'.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] philseven:
Okay so maybe I did something wrong I tried it yesterday and got this greenish Blu old tv screen and tab wouldn't boot. I am sure I did something wrong that is why the question was asked in that manner if I offended you or disrespected you in any kinda a way I apologize.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] habylab:
This kernel still performs the best I feel, partly due to the excellent app reassuringly applying settings. Glitch doesn't have that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] psyren:
An interesting note:

I run Mahdi on both my N5 and my N7. Placing my N5 on top of my N7 (with the smart cover on), the N5 wakes up and sleeps as you'd expect (when I lift it up and put it down on the cover) - it doesn't have any issues with sleeping through the cover "opening".
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] bobloadmire:
Is development for this dead? N5 is getting tons of updates but this is over a month old and Franco doesn't post here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Franco pretty much only posts in the thread for his primary device unless it's around release time for one of the other devices. All the groundbreaking stuff happens on the primary and gets ported over to the others later.

Trickle-down development, but not dead, no. ;)

If there's something pressing he can always be reached in the primary device thread, on G+ or by email.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Guys you should check out my new CPU settings check my settings post.

Franco had something of a theory that 4 cores with lower max speed is more battery efficient than 2 with higher speed.

Also [MENTION=4788174]Nbsss[/MENTION] found a neat trick in GPU settings by editting the up threshold to 25 and down threshold to 15 there is a significant boost in perceived performance. Its probably more effective than having a high input boost freq!

The settings in my post should be very battery friendly without noticing any lags, although I haven't tried any heavy gaming.
