Sorry to quote this again, I was feeling a little drunk earlier and my head has cleared somewhat now. Of course you can't add these things as I'm sure Google are keeping an eye on what's going on and IMO you really seemed to of stepped up you game recently, not that you ever did a bad job but you have evolved since n5. Sorry for making such requests while not thinking entirely straight

r20 or 21-test?

That's a bit strange... specially the part of not booting, FKU changes nothing that can prevent a boot. A log would've been precious, but now its probably lost.

My phone is not going deep sleep with test r21 is it normal i left phone after full charge for 2 hrs lost 13% battery.

Im on Same ROM same kernel , deep sleep is working fine on and off charger
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dazz87:
Or you could do this install xposed and gravity box, make your change (status box colors etc etc) then uninstall both xposed & gb and your change will stick. Only when you reboot the change will go back default. With cataclysm I was able to move the clock to the center of status bar, and have volume rocker change tracks. This is good enough for me without sacrifice battery life
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Fix your apps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AhmedFaiz:
My Bluetooth was connected to the speaker after it was full charge but didn't use it at all just that it was connected, I guess that might be the reason. Will give it some more time.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sydius08:
Sorry for the noob question, but does this kernel support ART runtime? I know its a feature in 4.4 KitKat, but I just want to make sure it works on this kernel. Running stock rooted 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
ART/Dalvik has nothing to do with the Kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
You should check Android Development section there's kanged Franco builds by PhantomGamers and LaboDJ that have S2W and D2W but don't come here if you have issues, post in those threads

I have no idea how some people are getting 4-6 hours of screen on time

I have everything turned on. I'm using lte. I'm using WiFi here and there and I got Bluetooth on but it only is actually used while driving.

I play Simpsons tapped out for a bit thought the day and did a bit of browsing

My r20 usage between yesterday and today has been nearly identical. Today however I tried to undervolt by -50 since that seems to be the common thing that people do in his thread. I didn't really see an improvement

Can someone take a look at my screenshots and let me know your thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mbh87:
Why is your WiFi constantly on if you aren't using it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
If you check their screenshots you'll realize that they have location services off, which may or may not affect battery life. They could also be only browsing XDA or reddit or something on minimum screen brightness. Some have even underclocked to 1 GHz and stuff. IMO what's the fun in using your phone then. I prefer to just keep what I need on (pretty much everything xD) and make sure performance is good. Whatever battery issues that come with that I can deal with later, as I usually only need 2h or so OST per day. I've reached 3.5 no problem, and there's about 5 days per month where I actually use that much. Besides, I could always just bring an external battery pack or plug it into a charger. It's not like I'm lost in the middle of a forest for months.

So for me at least, performance and functionality > battery life. Make sure the former is satisfied, then worry about the latter.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Looks like your phone is awake for more than twice than your screen is active. You must have some apps running rampant in the background.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zoltrix:
That's what's bugging me

What the heck!

Why is Wi-Fi like that. I've seen many people have that.

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Yea I agree. That's insane

I was just expecting really wicked battery life versus stock. This kernel is better and smoother but yea.

Will try to reinstall Flashify? It's weird if I try to select it from the Downloads section in Flashify, it does not let me. I have to go through Solid Explorer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] i860:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Theberge43:
Yes. Thank you.

I love solid explorer, but it does not always behave well with other apps it seems.

I'm running stock, locked, unrooted at the moment.. All of a sudden, after yesterday nights charge, my battery life sky rocketed.. I was having to put the phone on the charger by 2-3pm and yesterday around that time I was still at 60% with my same average usage.. Not sure wtf happened but now I'm afraid to unlock and flash this thing.. I'm sure the kernel will work great, I just hate to mess with something that is now working lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] i860:
img7 looking good.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] i860:
You can always go back to factory settings after unlocking bootloader and root.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] donwhall70:
Well I unlocked the device, rooted, and flashed the kernel... See how it goes :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] i860:
Don't worry you are in good hands. Soon he will do the colors and the audio boost so keep tune in
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, flashify won't work going straight to the Downloads section. It wil SEE the img, but won't flash it. You have to navigate (in Flashify) using one of the Explorer/Browsers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nitrogen618:
Just a question before I flash with flashify.

I'm running stock right now, and I have searched and find that I do not need a wipe before I flash.

On Flashify, do I flash as recovery or boot?

However, if I'm going from franco to stock kernel, do I need to wipe?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jmudrick:
I don't think with location reporting disabled GN should be a big drainer. I got average battery of 6/17 with Franco on N4, only location reporting disabled.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andrew025:
Flash as boot.

no need to wipe.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] donwhall70:
Am I seeing things right? Is this running default 1190/300? If so it's pretty damn smooth..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, flashing through "Downloads" on Flashify does not work. It will show the img file but will not let you flash it. You have to navigate (in Flashify) to the location (like the Downloads folder) using one of your other explorer/browser options. IN the Flashify interface. I prefer Root Explorer myself.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nitrogen618:
For Flashify, do I flash it as a boot or recovery image?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
Boot image.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tito2007:
Plug in the phone to the pc, Then hold vol+ and power button, the pc will make a sound like it has been connected or disconnected, when that happens immediately hit vol up,vol down and power to get into fastboot, might have to do a couple of tries because you cant see anything on the screen.

Looks like you have wakelock issue that keeping your phone on......"NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakeLock"

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
[MENTION=698133]zoltrix[/MENTION] It seems that your LTE signal is quite poor. Poor signal is often the leading cause of battery drain, I'd recommend forcing 3G if your LTE signal is consistently that poor. Another thing is the nlpwakelocks, but that's the location services. I keep them on, they don't bother me too much, and my keep awake stats are about the same as yours.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zoltrix:
Sweet I'll give that a read in the morning

That would explain the Wi-Fi on too I guess

You have those issues too?

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

Awesome thanks

I've set my phone to 3g only now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shinesthru:
My bet is that your wifi is "on" even when it is "off" because under wifi - advanced settings, you have checked "scanning always available." Turn that off. It is a location service, your device can scan wifi signals to better determine location even when you have wifi off. I believe that is also the source of the wakelock, but I am not as sure about that one.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I agree, and for that reason I do pack an extra battery with me (mophie battery pack) but I prefer not to need it... with my n4 I was having to use the pack around 3 pm to make it through the evening, the n5 configured for my usage gets me though the day and them some with franco's kernel, couldn't with stock... Maybe I'm going blind, but on minimal brightness I can't even see the screen unless I'm in a blackout room... how people use that as a daily level is beyond me...

I'm using this kernel to find that balance of the performance I want/need and the longevity required to get through the day...

For the quick top ups I have a qi charger in my personal truck, cla charger in the work truck, mophie pack in my lunch box, and qi chargers by my couch and bed... If I was going to get lost in a forest for months, my n5 is one thing I would be certain to leave behind... gpsr (with extra batteries, AA of course) and paper maps/compass would be far more useful....

So, to keep this on topic, franco, thanks for the awesome kernel, and if you ever make it out to Alberta (Canada) let me know, I'll help you unplug and get lost in the mountains for a few days to recharge your own batteries, forget about phones and computers for a time. And if anyone has any issues with you taking time off, I can get them lost in the mountains a little more permanently too... :P

Hi franco, I have lux installed.. Better uninstall it and use the brightness patch in the kernel?

Its faster,smoother and better on battery for me!!

Thanks alot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
I waited to say how well this kernel runs until I tested it with both stock and my personal AOSP.

I have been running it on stock for about 2 weeks and it was great.

I have switched to my own build of aosp and flashed test 21. It is amazing!

Thanks so much for your time and effort.

CM11 USB OTG doesn't seem to work with Franco kernel.

Reflashed CM11 to get back CM stock kernel and USB OTG works.

Can someone else confirm?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jmartino5920:
As of right now, you need to use a third party app like Stickmount to use USB OTG with both the stock kernel as well as Franco.kernel. CM has modified something in its kernel to allow for USB OTG to be enabled without the use of a third party app.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jithendra194:
Uhh.. I have a question....

Well..I see two cores are active and running at 300Mhz when on Franco kernel when I'm not touching the screen and when I'm on stock kernel and not touching the screen only one core is active ( 300Mhz )

My question is....wouldn't this drain a little bit of battery on Franco kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Langduscher:
That's f.K way of handling power. His way of managing CPU is waayyy more batteryfriendly than the stock mpdecision way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
But is this setting automatic or can we mod it with some kind of app?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PhantomGamers:
You can change it using FKU or manually by hand but IIRC Franco said it was more battery expensive to constantly offline and online cpu1 than to just keep it on whenever the screen is on.

EDIT: Oh you were asking about the brightness, sorry haha I derp'd
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stevemeister:
Don't need to mod anything. The lowest brightness setting is just lower now. I set my brightness manually by status bar so I don't know how it behaves on auto brightness.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] muEcke*:
Hi Franco!

Just signed up to thank you very much for your great work. I use your kernel with defaults and I get a really good performance and a great battery life. Looking forward to your next releases!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jithendra194:
True! I found that on stock kernel CPU was ramping up to 2.3 GHz way often. This wasn't the case on Franco kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Here's an odd problem. If I flash the test 21 img (using flashify), when I reboot I have no status or navigation bars. If I then flash back to r20 in recovery it reboots fine with status and nav bars intact??? :eek:

I'm on the latest rastakat.....any thoughts?

Edit: actually I'm losing the status and nav bars after a reboot on r20 as well .....looks like a clean reinstall of everything for me

Edit 2: clean install seems to have solved it....must have been something I ate..... sorry for the off topic clutter

It's a patch for MultiROM. Since you've enabled it in the past for grouper (and maybe other Nexi) I'd really like this patch included in the kernel for hammerhead too.

Sure thing :)

Yeah I know, I'm just not I want that stuff to be automatic, currently thinking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r21:

* Added KEXEC MultiRom patch

* Severe improvements to interactive to make it more intelligent during high CPU load for long periods of time

* Merged a series of patches from upstream to improve the kernel threads management per each cpu

* Improved the hotplug driver algorithm

* Merged two patches from showp to decrease the minimum brightness values

That Omni torch thingy should be fixed too.

Have fun!

Franko would it be possible to make the notification when only downloading the zip is finished in the notification bar touchable? So it would ask me which program I want to use to "execute" the zip? This way I could select Flashify to flash it.

I know there is the auto-flash option but I want to download the zip, too. So I would need to download it twice.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes me a [MENTION=4446775]cgollner[/MENTION] were talking about something like that the other night when I was coding with him. After v11.1 gets out to production I'm gonna add a couple hooks to improve the flashing experience and then a possibility to, if the user is running flashify, upload the downloaded Kernel to the cloud, and some other things we have in mind. I still have to think a little bit, because FKU features cannot be depedent of the user having another app to do certain things, but I'm sure the cloud backup thingy is a good feature to be there if the user is running Flashify. The .zip auto-flash is something I can simply add to FKU like I have in the File Manager if you click on a .zip. We'll see what happens :)
