It's the other way around. Cm doesn't support Franco kernel or any third party kernels. The only kernel working for cm is bricked kernel.

To anyone complaining about idle drain on r14. 1% over 6h with terrible signal (overnight) push email whatsapp etc.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
At the end it says wdog bite. I'm assuming that means watch dog but don't know exactly what it means and I know Franco doesn't. R14 is working great on mine and many other peoples set ups so I'd suggest its something your end either voltage or rom. I use stock rom with default kernel settings

Poor mobile signal is a cause of battery drain. Your device rriws harder to keep the signal in weaker areas. I'd suggest you charge over night or use air plane mode (if your sleeping in the same place every night that is haha ? )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sidhaarthm:
Thanks for having a look mate. Anyone else with comments/feedback? I spent ages last night setting up my phone and want to avoid a wipe/reset. Since the reboots only occur while running FK, I am sure it is resolvable. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to read (or decipher) kmsg messages :(

/looks down
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Krynn!:
I've got a question on "fast charge". I've set it to enabled in FKU (and yes the cable was unplugged when I set it). The tooltip for that in FKU says that it'll disable communications to the computer. But when I plug it in to a computer, the phone shows up as a media device.

Here's where it gets even stranger... When I plug it in to a 2.1A USB charger in the car, it charges fast. And when I plug it into a computer, it charges slow (as expected). But both times, it's saying "Charging (USB)" for the charging method, where I thought it was supposed to say "Charging (AC)". And (here's what I'm really wanting fast charge for) when I plug it into a slimport adapter hooked up to a 2.1A USB power source, it appears to be drawing only 500mA.

So, am I doing something wrong, or is there something broken?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Köhvwezd:
What an oddly specific thing to think of without provocation...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] h4rdXc0r3:
By franco defaults, you mean you didn't tweak anything after kernel install, right? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Audioboxer:
Yeah, except fast charge and colour profiles. I always trust the defaults Franco sets to run the best. I undervolt a little, but only because I have PVS4 (or is it PSV4?)

Wanted to try vomer for better battery, and it does seem to make the battery last longer, but in doing so I found it a little laggier than stock (not blaming vomer/saying everyone's experience would be like mine). Plus some people value battery greatly to last a day.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] h4rdXc0r3:
Awesome!

Vomer's color profile's though are great, especially the vomer_amoled. Was just like my S5 display when I still had it.

I removed the negatives. Can you just reduce in the volume rocker?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mpgrimes:
In order for Android devices to charge and detect Ac charge mode. The 2 centre pins of the charger must be shorted. I had the same issue. So I took my charger apart and soldered the centre pins on the USB connector together myself. Charges nice and fast now. Fast charge mode only enables the device to draw a little more power still not equivalent to ac mode
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Here's the settings* I use, based off of [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] but changed up a bit by me: http://pastebin.com/dfRSB2dt

I use Piereligio_TrueRGBv7 for the colour of screen, and I believe fsync is enabled by default on franco, however I had it turned off at one point, that is why it's still there.

Have this in init.d and works beautifully. Also have my readahead cache set to 2048.

If anyone has any input as to anything else I could modify to squeeze extra juice out of my battery, I would be happy to hear it. :)

Wouldn't having 4 cores online all the time at 1GHz use more power than say, limiting it to 2 cores @ 1.2Ghz?

That's subjective, and useless doesn't tell anything about your setup. I was a Faux/ElementalX user for ever. I'm getting 6 hours SOT with R63 and stock ROM. Look at what's using your battery before making such unhelpful posts.

This is just my use this morning, and I'm in a bright room so screen brightness is much higher than normal. Even so, I'm going to get over 5h 30min.

hi. i using slimat adn r63

is it normal that my gpu never go below 200 mhz? even when idle

when i use El ex it was going down to 27 mhz
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Franco.Kernel doesn't have underclocking for the GPU.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reyfista11:
thanks

i see. so it doesnt uc the gpu. will it affect battery life? i mean will i get little bit more jouice if the gpu UCed?

i tried franco kernel because el ex was too hot. hope this kernel little bit cooler
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
the amount of juice you'd save from adding extra underclock steps to the kernel is rarely enough to justify it...

in most cases, they're brute forcing the cpu/gpu to run at steps that aren't native to it, requiring ADDITIONAL voltage to be applied to support it... (sometimes requiring a higher voltage than the higher, native step would use)

Forced UC can be as hard on a device as forced OC... If the steps aren't native to the chip, you're probably better of not using them.

And the kernel doesn't create any heat on your device... that's the cpu/gpu/display/battery at fault... all the kernel can do is throttle the cpu/gpu when it detects too much heat...

If your phone is running too hot, try limiting the max cpu freq via fku, tasker, command line, trickster, or another app... (But only use one... conflicts can occur if you set up more than one)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reyfista11:
thanks for explanation.

when i see it with perfmon, el ex touchboost is keeping my freq on 1267 mhz longer thatn franco did. i got 50-53oc reading light novel with chrome.

strangely when i use franco kernel it just 43-47 oc (yeah not much differ). but it feels cooler (maybe placebo?)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hellsgod:
Actually it isnt underclocking. Its just a fix for the sysfs, to show the frequencies correctly.

hells
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
that's a 3-10 deg C difference, definitely noticeable... but like I said, you could try lowering the max cpu via fku, sounds like your phone is still sitting higher than it needs to (but, depends on the app I guess.) I know that having my phone capped to 1.5ghz with a hotplug threshold of 0 I don't notice any lag or delays... (but that's me, others seem to) and keeps the phone nice and cool
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reyfista11:
isnt threshold of 0 make all the cores stay online? would it reduce battery life?

and kinda OT, my nexus 5 got a little light bleed on the bottom side. it noticeable brigther than other areas. it visible on all colour, but on black it's barely visible. i fact i just noticed it when my display rotated to the right(when the navbar move to the top side of the phone)

is there any colour profile that could reduce it?

thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Thanks for the information. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Your point is? I know the GPU has overclocking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] h4rdXc0r3:
Thanks for sharing dude. :fingers-crossed:

Just wanted to ask if this is still the same setting you're using for the latest Franko kernel r63 for the Nexus 5? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aavvaallooss:
No overclocking, just underclocking indeed. 450 MHz is stock frequency
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
I thought 400MHz was stock frequency, and Franco added 450MHz (just like elementalx kernel)? If 450MHz is stock, that means it ALWAYS runs at 450, even when it isn't needed?

I guess 200/320 is underclocking, but not as extreme as some.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
Nope
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Glad to clear that up then. :) I have mine set at 320, and works fine. So guess the GPU is underclocked. I would have thought 320/450 would have been stock frequencies.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The small hit to battery with all 4 cores always on is offset by my limiting the max freq, and by not flicking two cores on and off... (turning the cores on or off is relatively expensive power wise...)

No, nothing you can do about light bleed
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akaHardison:

I noticed last night from full charge then woke up after 6 hours that I only lost 1% battery. :cool:

But on SoT I think its way more less than you guys are having.

Any advice for having a good SoT of maybe 5 or 6 hours?

:)

Sent from my Stormtrooper Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sviborg2241:
Oh my god, why cripple your device to 1036 Mhz? You really shouldn't and it actually won't give you extra juice since it takes more time for CPU to process stuff on this freq. Leave it on stock value and go on a hunt for wakelocks and stuff. And yeah, use per-app modes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
With those settings you could better buy a moto g [emoji14] Just leave it stock settings and kill the wakelocks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
These settings don't really affect the screen off behaviour of the device. It's just placebo :)

I wouldn't call 4 cores always on, even on 1GHz crippled. It's smooth (no lags), just loading times aren't as fast as fast as on higher freq. If battery is priority, then these default settings with perapp modes for certain apps makes sence.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
SoT is fairly dependent on what apps you use as well as the system settings... I use similar base settings, but I use Pam to raise settings for larger /heavier apps...

The question is what are you doing with your phone on? Looks like you got a good handle of your wakelocks.

Wakelocks affect the idle drain more than sot time. Radio signal strength/quality affect both... Apps affect sot time the most... Yes, using a lower cpu freq for a heavier app takes longer and possibly more power than a higher freq. But it also generates more heat.. the trick is to use a low enough freq to prevent thermal throttling, that's still high enough to work efficiently.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] h4rdXc0r3:
Thanks for the reply guys. :cool:

Yes it doesn't really affect the performance that much with 1036 max CPU freq, its barely noticeable but its fine for me.

And you guys are correct that I need to look into Per App mods as I haven't touched it yet.. :D

Also with regards to the wake locks, I'm not really familiar how it works or how to fix it.

So I need to google it. :o

Not unless you guys have an advise on how to go about with the wakelocks, battery over performance preferred.. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wkwkwk:
Hi,

Is there any way to initialise the USB-OTG during ramdisk 'on fs'?

I'm trying to mount some filesystems off an external sd but it's not detected at that time.

I've hooked a '/sbin/busybox ls -la /dev/block/ > /cache/filelist' immediately after

<code>

on fs

mount_all ./fstab.hammerhead

</code>

and I can see that there are /dev/block/loop[0-7], /dev/block/mmcblk* and /dev/block/ram[0-15].

There is no /dev/block/sda detected at that time (although the led goes on for the usb device so it gets power).

Is there any way I can load the driver at that time?

Or if you can point me to a direction where I can mount the filesystems (/data, /cache, /system etc) from an USB disk during the ramdisk load it would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
use wakelock detector or better battery stats to see which apps are causing your wakelocks. then decide if it's an app you really need or not and delete it, greenify it, or limit it's access some other way (app opps perhaps)

It's also possible that you've cut the cpu freq too much, and it's taking longer, and thus more power to run some instruction sets. Google "Race to Idle"
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] topgeardave:
Thought I'd clarify everything here about the GPU freqs, like the cpu scales between 300mhz-2265mhz, likewise the gpu scales between 27mhz-450mhz. When idle, gpu sits at 27mhz but apps won't show this because the sysfs interface isn't configured to show it with this kernel. Under normal usage gpu sits at 200mhz, whilst utilising videos it uses hardware decoding so it will hover between 320mhz-450mhz depending on the video itself. Whilst gaming it will give you the full beans of 450mhz. If you don't play any games you don't need to decrease the max gpu freq as you'll never utilise it except for videos.

This is perfectly normal behaviour mate, I'm always out of the country for meetings abroad so I put my phone in aeroplane mode and just enable wifi or if I'm staying for a long time and get a native sim. The reason why you get battery drain is because the phone is looking for a signal for your original network at the same time as well it is roaming. I've had battery drain for my phone when abroad with my HTC Desire & Sensation, LG G3 and iPhone 4s
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Understand. I have my max GPU set to 320, so wont ever scale to 450Mhz. May even set it to 200 since I don't game.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
if you're not gaming, no need to play with the gpu settings at all, without gpu load it won't scale anyways...

Just don't understand why would people buy such a powerful phone and limit it capabilities almost twice to get some extra hour of SOT. But well, everyone has their own meaning of running great and are free to choose :D

By the way, I'm working on power saving profile in tasker and it seems like it can't control clock speeds and governors on cores 3 and 4. Is it fine or it's just my noobness?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Don't know if you'll find perapp modes that suit you because each device is behaving differently – different stuff running on background, therefore different responsiveness. Also different people expect and look for different performance. Take a look at the Learner's lounge though.

It is because they need to be online while you echo the value for max freq. Either change the hotplug value to 0 and then change the max freq, or do (for cpu2 and cpu3 respectively):

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online && echo 1036800 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

(the 1036800 value is example)

so to do this I need to set my max to 900mhz. touch frequency to 900, high speed frequency to 900. and then load threshold to 0?

or would 2 cores at 1200mhz be better? (what about the gpu?)
