Alright... then I don't know why he seemed to think that was a problem...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sirbanger:
Apologies, was posting from my device.

See the attached pic. When you open fku the new splash-screen, even if you have the latest version installed it still says download. Shouldn't it just say the version, without an actionable download button?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sirbanger:
Didn't mean to say it was a problem... You must have designed it that way. Just a suggestion I guess.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jb0ne:
Like this... (Hope it attaches)

It confoozled me at first too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Oi, you've got mail.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
No.

1 - its not a splash screen

2 - it says download because usability wise that lets the user know that button is there for downloading a Kernel

3 - when there's a new version instead of saying "latest version" it says "New version!"
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] armoguy94:
yes you're right, my apologies, just went back and double checked. I got it mixed up with the changelog from 4.4.3 update. So do you think your kernel has nothing to do with it? I just flashed ElementalX and I'll see if it continues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sirbanger:
Ok, no problem. Sry, just called it a splashscreen. lol what is the proper name of it then? Opening screen? I guess I just liked the old way, that when you had the latest installed and you pressed, it didn't prompt you to download zip/auto flash the same version.

Don't over think this sir.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
Just Unpacked That Device:rolleyes:

I need to be adapted:p

Appears a good kernel:thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Before it always prompted you to download zip/auto-flash when clicking the Latest version. The behaviour is 100% the same as before.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sirbanger:
lol must be a mind f%!k then. Sry man. Just seemed different to me. All good...

Guys I need help.

I'm faced with a strange issue - I can't skip tracks from my headset on the newer version of 4.4.3/franco? Don't know what is causing this... I play my music with poweramp. I turn off the screen, try to skip a track - nothing happens. I turn on the display and try again - track skipping works perfect. I turn of the screen, it works for a while longer, then It stops working, or all I can do is pause. Can anyone please help? I am using latest Slimkat, latest franco.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] VoluntaryMan:
What makes you think it's kernel related?

Have you tested the functionality with the official Slimkat kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
Since upgrading to 4.4.3 google play services is keeping my device awake. Any recommendations on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lesp4ul:
Playstore > disable auto update.

Location > battery saving.

Google setting ads > uncheck.

Google+ > disable photo sync.

Google search / Launcher > speech, ok google disabled.

Reboot.

Followed all your instructions and made no difference [emoji17]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikebeatrice:
I am cautiously optimistic that I determined what was causing the SODs I've been having since r50.

Usually within a few minutes of booting r50-53, I'd get a SOD. So I've been slowly freezing apps and finally found one that appears to have made the difference....SetCPU.

The only profile enabled was to lower the cpu speed if temperature gets above a certain threshold.

I used to also keep the speed low with the screen off, but I didn't like the lag when turning the screen on.

So...something changed between r49 and r50 that causes this kernel to not like setcpu.

I'll report back if something changes, but right now I'm three hours in abd haven't had an issue.

I'd really like to limit the system speed at high temp...is there any way to do this with FKU?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PresidentMcCain:
I've been seeing the same thing. Google Play Services guzzling down on fuel.

4.4.2 + franco.Kernel r52: 100% - 92% in 12 hours

4.4.3 + franco.Kernel r53: 100% - 68% in 12 hours

No app changes (except bundled gapps in factory image of 4.4.3 and FKU update), no Xposed module changes, just went from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
But the Kernel has a built-in temperature thermal throttle, why set up an app to **** with the thermal throttle?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikebeatrice:
well...to be honest, I've been using setcpu for years. I've been using your kernel for a few months. it's been an app that I've had installed across many devices...while I've used custom kernels across these devices, fku is the first time I've ever used any form of a companion app

call it ignorance on my part. I hadn't considered the conflict since I didn't actively configure that portion of fku...and like I said...setcpu has been a staple for years

My real point is...it's possible that the other small percentage of users that have had issues may have a conflicting cpu manager installed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
I don't believe it's related to Franco kernel at all. Just thought I would ask the question here in hope to get a quick solution from someone else that has possibly experienced and fixed the same issue. This issue started for me since upgrading to 4.4.3 then I received an update to Google play services, this was on stock kernel I then flashed Franco kernel, so clearly unrelated to kernel!

If I have ElementX Kernel installed and now want to change to Franco Kernel. Do I have to wipe the whole thing and start installing the whole rom again or just flash Franco on the top ?

Thx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drdrewdown:
you're safe enough just dirty flashing the rom/gapps & then flash franco
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Its ok. I don't know why would an app could do that to be honest. I don't know what to you tell though :/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yeah I've noticed the same, my battery life took a hit with 4.4.3 for some odd reason I'm not aware of.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ladaga:
Is the battery drain the same with stock kernel (4.4.3)?

I fell that the drain with 2g or 3g is so hard (60%/h with 2g).

It seem that the latest boot.img (6-13) is doing great job on the battery. I am trying to monitor current using current widget and it seems that the average current draw is much lower, will see what will happen in the long run

Okay. I hope to see your long run feedback.

I had this battery drain problem the day I flashed 4.4.3 with radio img too. first I thought it was kernel problem andI know if I post my complaint here then people will start telling me to check whether any app is eating the battery. I wanted to see whether any one has the same problem like what my phone is facing. Thanks to Franco, I think the problem is persisted by radio image. I know it was not kernel related that is the reason I didn't write any bad feedback here.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Molitro:
It's funny, in my case not only has it improved a little, but I have google play services not even show up in the battery stats, while in the last days of 4.4.2 it would take some percentage.

I did start with a clean slate flashing the stock google factory image before updating to the 4.4.3 purity.

And BTW, I noticed the other day that 3G drain was quite low. Pretty much the same as 2G, which is what I'm usually am unless I need the juice.

So in conclusion 4.4.3 coupled with a fresh start has given me an improvement battery wise, and I'm quite happy with it right now.

Swiftkey'd from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kusie:
I solved this by enabling APP OPS in 4.4.3 and remove the "location" and "keep awake" permissions for play services.

See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53332521&postcount=39 for app ops enabled settings.APK. After replacing the APK, renaming and setting the permissions, you need to install one of the many free app ops enablers from market.

But I´d like to address another topic, the SOD issues some keep having on FK.

Let me tell you a little story, I´m not and expert, just a "power user", but yesterday I experiences the following, maybe this helps others:

Been running the R32 version of FrancoKernel on my Nexus 5 (stock android with root and TWRP recovery) exclusively in the past months since I found that this was the most battery friendly kernel version FOR MY USAGE and it has a fixed limit for only two CPU cores, the other two are always switched off, which did not hurt snappyness of gaming performance, but saved lots of power and my device never gets hot.

Oh, I´ve NEVER had any SOD in the past!

After upgrading to 4.4.3. I thought I´d give R53 a chance and installed it, used it for 4 days and found it to be very good. No issues at all, no SODs, nothing. Only downside: when playing games like Candy Crush Saga (yeah, I know, ... save your comments ;) the device gets very hot and drains battery like crazy, seems that all 4 cores are unneccessarily working hard at over 2 GHz, and this was confirmed by system monitor.

The standard setting of the kernel is to keep 2 cores online mostly at 300 Mhz and switching the other two cores on only iff needed, and switch them off again afterwards, which is good!

So I wanted to limit the CPU for this game, which made me buy the FKU app to use the "per app mode". Installed, created a profile (as far as I can see, I can only limit the maximum frequency, NOT the number of CPU cores used, right? That´s a pitty!) with maxCPU freq of ~1 GHz, applied to Candy Crush, and run. Worked at first, but after exiting the game I found that suddenly 3 cores where online permanently, and that the max setting of 1 Ghz seems to be sticky now. Only a reboot could solve this, setting the CPU behaviour back to "2 cores offline". But the most important was this: I GOT 2 SODs within 1 hour after installing the FKU app! I did NOT mess around with any of the advances settings, just used the "per app mode" and system monitor.

I deleted the per app profiles and deinstalled FKU and all seems to be fine again, no SOD since then.

So if you are having massive problems with SOD please look if you have FKU installed and just for a test deinstall it temporarily to see if your SOD problems are gone.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]: this is NOT to blame you for anything or disrespect your work, it´s only my experience. Maybe there IS a problem with FKU?

Hi Franco!

I've running your kernel since r27 and I never had any issue..

I'm running last r53 on PA 4.4 RC1 and this morning I had a self rebbot.. I'm not sure it depends on kernel, but I saved some logs on pastebin.. Maybe they can help you :fingers-crossed:

Thanks a lot for your work!

Radio Image 4.4.3

Can anyone confirm an issue I have had ever since the 4.4.3 update? Basically, I live in Manchester UK on the Three network, on 4.4.2 I was able to access the 4g network no problem here in the city centre, but ever since I flashed 4.4.3 I have been constantly on 3G, I have not once been able to connect to 4g, is this a radio problem, as I know the network is sound?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tuncan:
Check "Settings/More/Preferred network type" first!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] willgare:
I have selected the preferred 4g option, and even forced 4g through the advanced settings menu, to no avail?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
I downloaded the app from the article and tested, and the service seems to restart properly on 4.4.3 (Purity). So it seems like it's fixed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stevemeister:
PA 4.4 RC1 is a build with a lot issues. Ive had multiple reboots and Chrome kept crashing etc. Best is to revert to 4.4 BETA1 for now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikebeatrice:
I'm not sure either, but it's been 12 hours for me and no SODs.... I'm feeling more confident that it was a conflict with setcpu.

Anyone having SOD problems should try freezing it, system tuner, etc., and see if the problem goes away.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fbf2201:
Blocking the location for Google Play Services is not without consequences.

I tried it once, but after that it didn't update the prices of apps in Play Store anymore.

There was an app on sale, but I couldn't get the lower price, without reactivating the location service again.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
I think its the new radio. I noticed that my battery was depleting more than normal with the same usage (I use my phone about the same everyday) and also noticed that my signal was worse (would drop LTE way more and show less signal everywhere). I flashed the LGD820_KOT49E radio (the 4.4.2 radio) and it seemed to help.

tl;dr - Its placebo and nobody cares.

What setting Device to gps only will do is stop the non Google apps/widgets from grabbing coarse locations (wifi and cell based)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blinde:
Automatic brightness feels way more unstable in 4.4.3 with r53. Sometimes it's way too dim and sometimes it flips quite randomly from bright to dark.

It was perfect in r52 with 4.4.2.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TrenchKato:
I see the confusion. In English that breaks the rule of the double negative. I would assume that having the disable ipv6 disabled is in fact having ipv6 enabled

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jdec529:
I just noticed with system monitor that when exit and app I have a per app mode set for that it sticks to 4 cores online until I screen off. Something else I noticed lately is my max CPU is never at 2265 after a reboot. Tried clearing fku settings and still a no go. Running latest PA no other CPU apps

I did the same as you early this morning (also went back to r53 from one of the test .img) and battery and the wakelocks seem to be much more inline with what I saw when I first flashed 4.4.3 and r53. Right I had great bay life then. We'll let it run a few days see if Google services start to creep back up. Should add nothing turned off, location everything running.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] F.B.8.:
hi guys,

I'm sorry if this has already been asked dozen of times,

I know that franco kernel will prevent OTA from work, but if I flash back the stock kernel with the root-tool, it still won't work? because after flashing stock kernel and attempting to flash the OTA in recovery I've got an error message about a modified "thermal-something" in file system, so the OTA failed. This is franco-kernel related or something else I have installed? (maybe another custom kernel that installed additional things or something like this) Knowing this would be very useful for my next update

thanks in advance

Meh. I don't understand the point of per app mode. You have a kernel that already steps the cpu to different frequencies based on load. So now we're adding an app that controls the steps. Seems like overhead.

I wish it did voltage control per app so I could undervolt except when using my camera and need the power.
