I think you are the troll here, acctually 100% = 1 core, how else would you count them? lol.. also android is optimized for dual core not single core.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Stop trolling or i will report.. why the hell would i buy a single core mobile when android using 2 cores?

BTW now i will stop post here, since it's not related to the kernel its self (unless franco makes it possible to disable cpu cores which i doubt). If anyone still want to argue then do it in PM.

Going to be flashing this tonight! Any battery saving tips?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Fluidification:
So I did some research comparing battery life on CyanogenMOD + Franco, CyanogenMOD, Stock + Franco, and Stock....

The best battery life by far is on Stock+Franco.

Cyanogen on time w about 4 hrs of screen usage - 6hrs

Cyanogen + Franco on time w about 4 hrs of screen usage - 7hrs

Stock w about 4 hrs of screen usage - 9 hrs

Stock + Franco w about 4 hrs of screen usage - 12 hrs
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FRLinux:
Hey franco, thanks for the kernel, it is much nicer than stock. I seem to have only one issue with SwiftKey when auto completing words, it randomly locks for a second. I reverted to stock to confirm this behaviour and only happens with your kernel. Could this be related to specific customisation? I am also using your app but have not modified anything.

Last Merry Christmas, hope you had a good one :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'll push an update to be compatible with the N5 when I'm finished with it, current production build is not ready for the N5. And there is no N5 FK being downloaded through the app. All will be done in its due time.

No.

Jnewms has been around awhile giving Franco assistance when he could.

No harm was intended. If any offense was taken, I apologize.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobloadmire:
I thought we could flash beta through the app. That would be a nice option
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I appreciate that. Honestly, I can't code yet, so I try to do the things I'm capable of. I'm happy to dedicate my day off to this if it gets us more goodies faster.

You cannot Install this alpha Nexus 5 Franco kernel with the Franco app yet. Franco is re-writing the app to be compatible with KitKat 4.4. Right now the Nexus 5-compatible Franco app is alpha too, codenamed Pringles. All app features -- like ability to install the kernel -- are not present yet.

You have to use an alternate method, like Flashify. See here:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] arararagi:
It actually saves power, since with battery saving or high accuracy, you are using tower/Wi-Fi location, which means your phone is constantly doing data mining for Google and calling home, wasting power.

With device only, it is like only having GPS ticked, and it'll only turn on when you actually need location, not constantly in the background.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zephiK:
That's the same thought I have. I left it on gps only and it's fine for me.

That's why when you use battery saving it pops up that dialog that Google will data mine in the background and what not.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
Coding isn't as hard as it seems. If you can follow an if/then statement, you're halfway there.

Start a thread on any of Franco's modules. Talk about it. Understand it. I would bet you are fluent by year's end.

I bet you can get at least one developer to give it a kickstart.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Depends on what you're coding. A lot of these a lot of these "developers" just copy paste modules from one kernel and another basically mix and match.

Kernel development is more about knowing the hardware and putting the dots together. If you don't know what you're doing then it'll definitely be trouble some.

Coding is more than doing a If and then statement. It requires logic and thinking. So yeah it can be pretty difficult.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Slightly off topic and not saying its kernel related but is anyone else noticing after a while of using the phone the cams fail to open? I use face unlock which often won't load the front cam view finder or the rear camera. Can't really see much around on Google and only 1 thread I found in Q&A which didn't have any answers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I'm a ways off from coding, but I've learned quite a bit from Franco over the last week. It's been awesome. :)

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

I've not had a single issue with camera use with this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
Aside from the hardon you have for my posts, I was leaning more toward an educational slant.

If the general user can understand the functionality of a simple module, then maybe they could offer an intelligent question later on. And, certainly, if an involved user says he has no idea about coding, maybe send him on a simple journey for knowledge. Maybe he'll learn something, maybe not.

Or, you could just say that kernel coding is too complicated, and they shouldn't try.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I didn't mean specifically with this kernel more of a general potential software issue even on stock? It fixes its self after a reboot but stops working after about 1.5 - 2 hours. Am only posting here for faster response as nothing happened in the q & a thread I already posted in

GPS uses a lot more battery and inside buildings if you can't get a signal it will run your battery down trying.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zephiK:
GPS is turned on by request whereas Battery Saving will be on all the time because it will always be transmitting data to Google Servers is what hes trying to say.

What do you mean? ..... by time, the camera fails to open in what ways? Stock ROM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Thanks, really hoping my hw isn't defective but it works for a time then not which suggests software issue, maybe a rare one. Cheers J, maybe someone else can shed some light
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Oh you guys may end up really happy tonight... :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I guess partitially the type of building your within could make a difference some seem to allow GPS if your near the exterior / roof / window. Others you find it hard to even get data let alone GPS. Its one of those things that comes down to personal circumstances I guess.

Hello, actually I think you are using Cataclysm rom.. because it seems to happen on that rom and swiftkey... I reformatted and installed purity with R24 and havent had that lag issues with Swiftkey :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Christmas is over, time for a new release, r25, hopefully further improving battery life from r24's awesome results:

* Merged 3.4.75

* Fixed a bug where max frequency could be stuck if the user underclocked and the device thermal throttled

* Fixed a bug in the GPU governor that would make the GPU frequency to be stuck one step above minimum during usage. Should improve battery life in the mid-long run

* Decreased GPU voltage. Should improve battery life in the mid-long run

Enjoy!

Just flashed r25 and swiping on the homescreen and app drawer is very laggy and indirect. Stock kernel settings + Purity ROM. No problems with r24...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thucoisao:
I dunno whether this is a bug, just share my case. I've got soft reboot 4 times before device auto returns to Dalvik after flash r25.

Sorry Eng's not my best.

I was taking a screenshot and applied kernel settings as soon as the screenshot happened and got a reboot. Was applying 2.8ghz. Then tried 2.6ghz same thing. At 2.4 for now.

no lag, no setting & ART problem here :o just M clock changed to 300mhz so I set it up to default by manually. very smooth and flawless! I gonna test battery life from now on.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Dude, already been answered 1000 times... kernel and runtime complier have nothing to do with each other, you're probably using gravitybox or xposed or whatever that crap is, one of them makes it reset to dalvik.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Your device doesn't handle that much overclock.........
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] muEcke*:
Hmm, strange. I ran r24 with max 1,7 ghz, input boost 1 ghz and UV -50mv and was absolutely fine. But with r25 it's really laggy here. Maybe Purity can't really handle the GPU voltage decrease.

I flashed r24 again and everything is fine again...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
r25 working really well! Smooth as ever.

Thanks Santa Franco :D

Nothing to do with purity. R25 runs the same as r24, which is perfectly fine.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sudoeste:
First and second boot after flashing from stock gave me 1.2 max cpu. After clearing app data (coincidence?) and rebooting I now have the correct max speed

I read a few pages page (well, more than a few) that the camera mic gain could possibly be user changeable in a future release. Is that still on the road map?

Btw, you've got money! Greetings from Viseu! Feliz Natal
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iPsychoGeek:
r25 works pretty good, i have no lags at all. Flashed over r24 via "auto-flash" in FKU.

I actually find input boost down to 1190 quite smooth, no lag. Should go_hispeed be a lower freq than input boost? I have a step lower currently, wondering if there's any logic behind it.

I'm on R24 and will update to R25 but I wanted first to find out why I started having battery drains that where not existent on R23.

I am using BBS to log the drain but I can only see in processes kworker u2 as being out of the ordinary. In android battery stats I can also see that android system is higher than before.

My usage also was the same as before 90% wifi, light browsing and some tapatalk.

On R24 i also undervolted on 300mhz to 650mv. This are the main differences between r23 and r24.

I have attached some screenshots if someone can take a look.

What I meant is that I'm not using ART or tweaking the kernel in any way. Just flashed it. Cleared FKU app data as always. Yet my battery stats shows that weird gap. Just wondering what happened. Usually, the battery stats persist through a kernel flash, with a small blank area indicating a reboot into recovery. This blank area is at the beginning as opposed to in between using r24 and flashing r25. Had a full charge earlier and flashed r25 with about 80 percent battery. Anyway, not blaming the kernel, just thought it an oddity. Thanks.
