Is this a new trend, should we expect r-26 on the 26th? :p

Thanks Franco, hope you had a good one with your loved ones :)

Make sure Scroll and Animation speeds are set to faster than light. (I doubt there's lag caused by the kernel, this however will make everything launcher related fly)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chad_Petree:
I thought I was being paranoic with the scrolling ,it felt stuttery ,now it feels better :)

Is it normal that my minimum cpu frequency is very high? often at 1200 mhz and i cant set it to 300 mhz. It resets itself everytime. Is this due Mpdecision? WIll the phone go to 300 mhz anyway? :)

Thanks mate, just changed settings as you recommended and this has made a huge difference for me on Nova with r25 Kernel. Thanks Franco for an awesome kernel!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] giel123:
Hi I don't know anything about this sort of stuff, but is it good practice to always have the same cores offline when only two cores are needed? Doesn't this 'wear out' the two used cores with respect to the others? Or doesnt 'wearing' even exist in cpu-world?

Thanks for the awesome kernel Franco, pretty insane performance and battery life!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yeiyei0891:
stupid question, the Nexus works to 2.26 GHZ, this kernel is limited to work a lower power?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eustilou:
Voltages below 700 mv don't stick. I set 300 MHz to 650 mv, but after reboot it reset to 700. I have the set on boot option enabled. I'm on fku 11.1.1 with r25. r24 behaved the same.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
It's more intelligent, stock kernel ramps to 2.26 when it's not even needed, this kernel uses 2 cores always online and uses 2.26 and all four cores less frequently - only when it's needed based on load.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
i have 300mhz set to 625 and on boot, restarted the phone and waited for supersu to give permissions to FKU, opened FKU and the 625mV is still set on 300mhz

Interesting settings but i think they might be a little overly conservative with hot plug level at 99 and boost pulse could be reduced to 50k. If it works well for you though I'm happy for you

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Franco often has test versions in the TEST folder if you feel adventurous. But I don't see a TEST r26 in there. So, maybe private testing?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Langduscher:
Guys surely that must've been a typo. No r26 in FKU & no testboot image on the known server/ folder.

Relax!:laugh:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Heh, just because it's not in the test folder doesn't mean it doesn't exist. ?

I think in this case it may have been I typo though.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fradbari:
hi, where i can find some good configuration of intellidemand governor for battery save?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lolpok:
You are putting all cores active but only two cores is used. the rest they are affecting the power consumption negatively, as details such as voltage, must be running on the level of the CPU core that needs maximum value required. Likewise, the CPU cache may have run at the highest frequency.

Qualcomm Snapdragon and Intel's upcoming BayTrail is the only SoC that can regulate voltage asynchronously, but there are still parts that will need to be run at a higher frequency even at these when there are unused cores. Nexus 10 only has two cores, and it's pretty fast, you know.

I understand the CPU ramps down to 1.5 gHz due to thermal throttling but should my MAX value be reading 1.5 by default? This happened as soon as I flashed the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tsubus:
It happened to me on a clean install (after full wipe) yesterday, even though mine was at 1.2Ghz. Rebooting fixed it, though.

R24 is perfect for me, I mean perfect. Blazing Fast, buttery smooth and wonderful battery life. I know in my head I should just stay on it and call it a day. But being a thickheaded flashaholic, I'm moving to r25.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jaj473:
Use greenify to hibernate unused apps and try fku.. Its an awesome app to optimize..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
As far as I know the RGB values are present inside of what we call gamma interface.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cyb3rGlitch:
Thank you for the reply. Do you know how RGB values are mapped in the app? I'm willing to compensate you for your time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
What app? If you mean faux's app I think he has all the info in his OP or second post, I haven't messed much with it so I don't know from the top of my head. I'll add color control to FKU in the next weeks for the N5.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eRajesh:
Hi!

Any plans on adding anything like fauxsound or anything similar like you had for Nexus 4?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Why? There's already sound control interface present...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
Sorry to ask I'm new to Nexus devices.... But what is fku and fauxsound? Isn't Gamma control used to make the screens colors pop?

Gamma controls are available for users to tweak their displays to their own liking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thesebastian:
I set CPU max F. to 1.2Ghz. I didn't experience any important slowness (at least using ART). But I'm seeing the 3rd and 4th cores online with much more frequency than before.

So I wanted to ask... What's better for battery life?

- A 2.2Ghz CPU max frequency? (With a low chance of awaking 2nd/3rd core),

- Or 1.2Ghz max frequency (With high chance of using all cores).

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sensamic:
Seriously, how are people getting 5 hours screen on time?

I just don't believe it.

Maybe they are plugging their phones to the charger for 20 minutes at a time to increase the battery percentage without resetting the screen on time. That's a trick everyone knows about.

It's impossible to get 5 hours screen on time with a 2300 battery... unless all you people do are phone calls... :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shiz222:
Hey guys quick question. I'm not sure if the kernel would control this but I notice when I change backgrounds certain colours in the pictures seem to almost shimmer... Or jitter. Not sure how else to describe it. I'm NOT saying Francos kernel has anything to do with that because this is something that was happening from day 1. Just wondering if I'm the only one and if not if it's correctible
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Molitro:
He wants to get schooled, doens't he.

On another matter, I don't know what the hell have the devs done with plants vs zombies 2, but that's what I call murdering a battery. And setting a phone on fire.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Franco, for the record, in as far as how I use your kernels for my use, I have never had one issue using or flashing your kernel on my nexus 5.

I know you have fixed issues that others were having and that you have improved things along the way, but for me, no issues at all. I have used them on stock for a bit, and then on Slimkat the rest of the time. Granted I am a flash and forget type of user, but like I said, zero bugs from the start. Thanks and Happy holidays. :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] H3ISENB3RG:
I can read an it already worked on r24 but after install r25 it doesnt worked so i reflashed r24
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cmhjr:
Have to agree, The only thing I did was add the MMS.apk and MMS.odex from the N4 otherwise stock ROM. Did not really like hangouts and it is slow allot of times and seems buggy at times.

Running stock with Art and UV 50 all levels except 300 which is UV 75 to 700 and could not find any complaints. Smooth and great battery life.

Not to worried about getting 5 hours SOT because I have N7 and with your kernel the phone hardly uses any battery sleeping.

Thank you for your hard work Franco.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Its easy , dim your screen down to under 20 , shut off all the smart from your smart phone , no sync no GPS turn off LTE , no Google , no apps running in background , U basically just have to take 100% control over your phone. last time I did it was for one day with my N4 and pulled 5 with stock kernel so doing it with this kernel is just easy . I only get 2-3.5 hours with n5 but I have everything turned on and my screen is at 75% . I'd rather plug in my phone than dumb it down .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sidhaarthm:
Hi guys,

I do this from time to time NOT to promote competitiveness or make any one feel jealous. But out of respect to Franco's hard work; to show everyone what a great Kernel this is. Just keep in mind not everybody will get mind boggling SOTs as everyone's usage is different.

This time around, I was able to squeeze in these great results with mostly Hangouts, News reading, Facebook, WhatsApp and other non heavy tasks. WiFi was on the entire time as I was at home during the last day or two.

In terms of system settings, my N5 was on Auto Brightness the entire time, running R24 with a -50mv UC across the board and 725mv for 300MHz. Oh, and I was also OCd to 2.4Ghz but don't think I achieved those freqs in my use :D Everything else is stock that Franco recommends.

Now juicing up so I can flash R25 and see what results I get there! :victory:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cobmojo:
Does anyone know how this awsome kernel work with the new AOKP ROM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
Franco, question out of curiosity: could your hotplugging algorithm, and heavily tweaked interactive governor be used on other processors other than the Qualcomm branded ones? Because I always see other kernels including "intellidemand", and "intelliplug". But never once saw someone include your incredible work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thecryof:
I've had this combo running now for the last 4 or so hours, stock settings on the kernel and all is good so far. I flashed the kernel via Franco's app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] imablackhat:
Are they're color changes etc with this kernel when installed? Or do you really need a toolbox to operate it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, the steps to get that screen time make owning a fantastic smartphone like this worthless.

Basically, LG/Google screwed up with a 2300mAh battery for this Nexus 5 -- just like Google also screwed up with a paltry 1750 mAh battery for the gen 3 Galaxy Nexus.

In mid-2012, within a month of buying two of those phones, I was replacing the stock batteries with Samsung official Gnex 2000 mAh extended batteries (with new official back covers) -- which is what that phone should have shipped with in the first place. :rolleyes:

For this Nexus 5, back when the specs leaked, everybody and their brother exclaimed the battery was too small for this phone... but some said:

"No, KitKat uses less power."

"No, Snapdragon SoC sips power."

"No, LG has some magical RAM battery saving circuitry."

"No, Google knows what they are doing."

BULL.

This phone just needs a bigger battery.

But no extended batteries are going to be made (I don't think), even if you can remove the back cover. Yeah, this was my phone within an hour of receiving it. Sim card tray got stuck with "apapter", so I had to perform surgery on my $400 32GB phone. Could have replaced the battery while I had it apart! ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Ya your right . but me personally I get the same amount of battery with all my phones , this is nothing scientific but at 12pm every work day I have 60- 70 % left with all my phones for last 3-4 years, htc , samsung , nexus ,lg . so IMO I'm getting better experience with same battery usage so I'm personally really happy . I only use custom kernels for the boosted performance they bring and as long as they match what stock battery gives me I'm good .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sensamic:
Exactly. I just don't get how people manage to get 5 hours screen on time. What's the point of having a great smartphone like this is you put your screen brightness to 20%? Seriously? Makes no sense.

I can understand turning off GPS, BT and such. They are not needed all the time. But turning off 3G/4G, sync, brightness down to 20% and such makes no sense.

Even doing all of that it would be really difficult to achieve 5 hours screen on time.

Tomorrow maybe I'll buy this phone. I will try this kernel and other tricks to see how much screen on time I can get. But I wont turn my brightness down to 20%! I'm sure turning all off wont get me to 5 hours SOT like these people.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OGroteKoning:
Please help me understand. As far as I know the stock speaker setting on 4.4.2 for the Nexus 5 is 88. Before using this great kernel, I edited the mixer_paths file and set it to 93. After flashing Franco, I set it back to 88.

In the FKU app, the gain can be set from -20 to 20. If I set speaker gain to +5, does it mean that it increases the gain from 88 to 93, or is the -20 to 20 "random" settings? I would also like to know the same for headphones, headset and mic.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Agreed! Just like the guy who turned everything off (incl. airplane mode) and proudly posted his 14h SOT.

I get along two days with only GPS turned off and using Lux and I get 3h SOT but my phone is usually at 20% when I charge it.

Thats fine with me!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
this nexus 5 battery bashing and screen on time competition is getting way off topic. everyone uses their device differently. no one person uses their device 'the right way', we all use our device the right way, our way. get a life and move on, dont cry on the forum because someone else gets more SoT, they use it differently than you do

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Then you misunderstand. Try reading the posts again.

We're saying don't brag about fantastic battery life if you aren't using your smartphone like a smartphone.

It's NOT off topic if people are posting their not-quite-truthful battery life screenshots here. We're saying don't bother.

Oh, I see. You ARE one of those people. You got your feelings hurt. So, it's "off-topic" when we talk about it, but NOT off-topic when YOU talk about it? :laugh: Screen brightness at 2%? Airplane mode? Who cares if you get 14 hours of screen time living under a rock?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
You can get even more than 5 hours sot. But you need to sacrifice something to get them.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Molitro:
And on the other hand I say being always in 3/4G when it takes all of 5 seconds to make the change makes no sense.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
I don't think they're bragging. Bragging would be like this: "hahaha you noob! You only get 3hr SOT? I get 20hr SOT. SUCKER!!!!!".

If someone is posting their battery stats, so what? They are just showing as what they achieved with - wait for it - *THEIR* usage. :) most even explain what their usage was, and for the most part their usage correlates with their SOT. So, really its not bragging at all.

I've said this before. Franco kernel and stock ROM is the best optimization. For me I try to understand how to control wake locks before switching to a custom ROM. For example I've been running on high accuracy location and I had no problem with battery. Now I'm using battery saving mode and the battery life has increased even more.

I guess what I'm trying to say is understand your settings in the phone and not relying on kernel settings.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OGroteKoning:
I didn't pick up any difference. As far as I know it is the same as stock
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bei60:
When phone is idle I get great battery life. I can go to sleep and wake up and only loose 2% which is great.

But I wonder if theres anything I can do to get battery SOT?

Yesterday I browsed Reddit, The Verge, a bit of Youtube and lost like 20% in and hour. Is it normal for that use? I had something like 20% brightness, auto sync off, a lot greenified, etc.

Maybe its the not-so-good reception I get with the new .23 radio. Can anyone link me to the old .17 one?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
You are correct, the colors are stock. Very early versions of the kernel had color tweaks but they have been backed off in support of a better implementation in the future. I believe Franco is planning to perform color gamma work....
