[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Crittias:
Quick question for folks more savvy about incremental Android updates than I am: if I want to keep Franco kernel, but move from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4, can I just fastboot flash the system.img and the radio from the 4.4.4 image? Anything special I need to do to maintain the custom kernel and/or keep root?

I do this stuff so infrequently, I can never remember the specifics. Thanks in advance.

Just flash.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
You can flash the stock rom from recovery (twrp/cwm) that is linked in my signature. That's pretty simple.

Or you want to use:

fastboot flash system system.img

I thought seeing 4.4.4 was a troll earlier today. God damn it not again :P

I'm going to assume there's a towelroot patch in there, maybe a new radio?

Guess I'll wait a few days, don't feel like erasing my phone again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Nah, I'll just shame them into learning how to google... :p

I'm an advocate of clean flashing each update. download the image from google (search for nexus image) untar it, then use the appropriate flash-all command... assuming you have fastboot and adb installed and available on your system (need to be in fastboot mode first, from a running phone use the adb command "adb reboot bootloader" )

I'd love to, but I can't... I've already given you your ***** for it. :p

I leave them on push, for the convenience. My job doesn't leave me sitting in an office or the like, I'm always on the go. So with push notifications, I know when I get messages while on the run. Wish I had an office job... maybe my next one, but I think driving in circles is more fun right now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
You don't need to clean install it. Just dirty flash it's a small update.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ryrynz:
Is the radio actually flashing down in 4.4.4? Anyone know the changes if any?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blackt5:
No, its different. I'm going to try it now that tmo made some changes or "will" be making some changes. Its worth a shot, never know if you don't try it.

After flashing Franco all my paid apps were corrupted. Had to install them again. Why is that? :confused:

An issue with your ROM. All is good on stock. I'm sure several people have had issues, but I'm not sure if they came to an conclusion, maybe searching the thread would be a good idea.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Brazooka:
Hi,

I`m a happy Franco Kernel app owner. :D

But I have a minor hiccup: I can't play Soul Calibur (Namco Bandai game from Google Play) with Franco kernel.

It works OK with stock kernel...

Can I fix that somehow?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Smallsmx3:
On stock for the first time in quite awhile... Forgot how good performance and battery life is compared to custom roms
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
Its an issue with franco, every other kernel doesn't care about paid apps but franco does. And I did search the thread, no solution
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fredfox_uk:
So if it's a problem with Franco, how come it doesn't happen with everyone and every ROM ? Unless there's some conspiracy that Franco has going on to remove all rival apps ? Yeah, that must be it :D

I wasn't suggesting that you didn't search, I just couldn't remember if anyone came to a conclusion about the issue :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
It also happens with Code_Blue, so definetely not a kernel issue, rather an issue of ROM/kernel combination.

It happened to me to on Carbon ROM on both Hammerhead and Flo (here only with franco), even though it was pretty annoying, I wouldn't blame it on franco, since the only common variable I had with this issue was Carbon ROM.

Tap-a-talked from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Why can't you play?

Flashing kernels does not touch app/data partition... Something else is conflicting...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
Could the Ramdisk affect paid apps?

I noticed when it happens, the apps FC until reinstalled, but the app data is still there.

And it seems at reboot, the Dalvik cache for the paid apps are not being rebuild.

On another note, the new baseband is working a lot better for me, drain with previous baseband is gone and standby behaviour of Wifi improved a lot, though I don't know if baseband even affects Wifi.

Tap-a-talked from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Ramdisk shouldn't... And rebuilding the Darvin cache is a rom function, not kernel... So, Rom issue... Have you tried rebuilding the cache after installing Franco manually? Do you still need to reinstall all your paid apps?

I'm on stock rom (4.4.4), art, Franco, and I've never had an issue with apps needing to be reinstalled (unless I've buggered my rom enough to need a clean flash)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
There is no other way than reinstalling the apps, I have it on both Mahdi and Carbon. And ElementalX doesn't have an issue

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Because every device is different, but I am not the only one with the issue. I'm not blaming anyone but it's very annoying if you have a lot of paid apps
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ffs the Kernel gives no **** about apps on your phone, it doen't even know what is an app. For the Kernel it only knows processes. You must be having some **** on your rom. Stop saying there is an issue for something you don't know anything about before it gets into snowball effect and people start thinking that there's an issue where it doesn't.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The "every device is different" generally only applies to device specific "tweaks" like CPU voltage or display calibrations...

Apps and the like are userspace, and all our devices should run the apps identically, so, the fact that you are having issues with your apps, means that somewhere is your setup, rom/kernel tweaks/tunes/mods there is a conflict causing those issues...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
Well on Carbon and Mahdi it does know what a paid app is :p

I am not the first one having this. I'm not trying to make you mad but maybe someone would know a fix so I asked

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Same setup on stock, no problem
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Go back, and reread Francisco's post before my last one...

Take your time, there is something else in your setup triggering this mess when you use his kernel, it is not an issue with the kernel, it is a conflict between the kernel and other software on your device... Clean flash your particular rom, fresh download, verify checksums, full wipe flash, then install one paid app, make no changes to your device, no tweaks, no tunes, no mods... Completely fresh stock I stall of your preferred rom... After installing that one paid app, install this kernel. Does the one paid app fail to function? Yes or no?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zyphur:
For those who haven't tried yet, if you're on 4.4.3 with the .2 radio, you'll get an unexpected content error and gotta flash the .2 radio first.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
I did that exactly, stock no problem, mahdi paid app is corrupt. I know what a kernel is and what it does, that's why I asked because it's weird
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
Sounds like you just need/want a different kernel then. Bye.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Well, we just gave you the same answer as always when this "issue" appears.... And there are others on Mahdi without this issue, so it must be something specific to your loadout.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Brazooka:
The game (Soul Calibur) just don't start on Franco Kernel, it goes black screen.

On stock kernel it runs fine without a glitch.

Any feedback on the new radio from people yet?

Ive got it flashed, but haven't been on the move so not really had a chance to see it at work.

Edit After looking through the Nexus 5 modem thread it sounds like the new radio is much better.

Double Edit Can also report the radio is much improved, better than the 4.4.1 radio for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
Signal strength, download speeds and battery all seem to be excellent.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
Yes it's much better.

I know it has to be on ROM side, I'm not blaming franco or anyone, just curious what the cause might be.

Rebuilding cache manually still has the same issue.

Also the behaviour is totally random. Sometimes only a few paid apps are broken, sometimes everything is fine, sometimes all paid apps are gone, all with exactly the same setup.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zyphur:
K, just finished going from 4.4.3 with 4.4.2 radio, stock rom + xposed, and franco 54, to 4.4.4 without losing any data.

Hei Franco there is something wrong in your kernel because i have problems with my girlfriend..could you fix it ? ...just joking, kernel works perfectly,it's stable,blazing fast,no problems at all
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Woody:
Probably something wrong with your Hotplug or even the Ramdisk. Could be Xposed though too.

Most will say it is a Frontend problem, but you really have to take a look at things on the Backend and see what is being tweaked there.

Best if you upload a screen shot so that we can get a better view and get in deeper.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:
I too have my paid apps disappearing, when flashing Franco Kernel. Data is still there and all you have to do is reinstall the apps and nothing is loss. So it's definitely not an isolated issue Franco. Not saying it's the Rom or the Kernel fault, just some weird conflict.

For the 100th time, you're always physically dependable on the charger output capacity. If it outputs 900mAh even with Fast Charge it will charge with 900mAh, and so on. There's no magic.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
nope, you can download the kernel for free and flash it via fastboot/adb/whatever

the updater app is for convenience and additional features like color profile. but you can flash and forget via command prompt and it will be just as good
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 5FOOTER:
Understood In my other post you will see I was basically saying the N5 doesn't like to be charged to fast, like most lion batteries. After 2 months testing I get way more batt life charging on the stock charger. Maybe others who don't get great batt life are charging it to fast.

I just flashed the latest test boot.img and set everything back to default and noticed in FKU, governor control, target_loads default settings are..

85 1500000:90 1800000:70

Is the 70 correct?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
The 70 would imply that at frequencies above 1800000, it'll use a value of 70. Yes, it's correct, means that the governor would ramp up easier, if it's currently at high frequency.

It's most likely due to thermal throttle. The device almost always hits the threshold while booting, that's why if you check it quickly after boot, you'll see the max cpu freq lowered. Wait some time while not using the device, then go and check again. It should be 2.4 GHz

Can i flash latest R54 on Rastakat 4.4.4?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gknnn':

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
I don't think that is correct. 70 is the load not a value. From the kernel documentation my understanding is...

85% load uses 1500000

90% load uses 1800000

70% load would be free to use max

Which is why I asked if it's correct. If 70% is free to use max freq, why are 85% & 90% targeted?

I believe it might be a typo, perhaps it should be 95.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
I don't think you understand exactly how it works (sorry, if I'm wrong). It's not like if it hits 85% load, it'll jump to 1500000. It means that if the current cpu freq is below 1500000, it'll ramp higher if the load is above 85%. If the current freq is between 1500 and 1800, it'll ramp higher, if the load is 90% or more. Then if the current freq is 1800 or higher, it'll ramp easierly to max freq (load ≥70%). It means that frequencies between 1800000 and cpu max freq will be used less often and cpu max freq will be used more often instead.

I can see that this is franco's intention, and it is connected with some of the other tunable values, to work well together. Don't remember the defaults now to give you an example though, since I use my own, slightly customized.

Further info from https://android.googlesource.com/ke...26724e7c/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt :

target_loads: CPU load values used to adjust speed to influence the

current CPU load toward that value. In general, the lower the target

load, the more often the governor will raise CPU speeds to bring load

below the target. The format is a single target load, optionally

followed by pairs of CPU speeds and CPU loads to target at or above

those speeds. Colons can be used between the speeds and associated

target loads for readability. For example:

85 1000000:90 1700000:99

targets CPU load 85% below speed 1GHz, 90% at or above 1GHz, until

1.7GHz and above, at which load 99% is targeted. If speeds are

specified these must appear in ascending order. Higher target load

values are typically specified for higher speeds, that is, target load

values also usually appear in an ascending order. The default is

target load 90% for all speeds.

Note that it says Higher target load values are typically specified for higher speeds. Typically implies that the intention is "the higher the frequency, the harder it is for the governor to ramp up the freq". In this case that's not the intention.

This is my understanding. Someone correct me, if I'm wrong.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WettbackMartyr:
franko.kernel is optimized for better battery life without reducing the performance of the nexus 5 while running franko's stock settings. others have found tweaks to improve battery life even further using franko with little to no performance loss (see vomer and thegingerbreadman signatures) that uses can apply to suit their needs. you comparing a different device with a different kernel is, in and of itself, pointless. not to mention all on this thread are clearly using the nexus 5 at the moment so we cannot comment on another devices performance. usage varies from user to user, kernels vary, devices obviously vary.

Here's the thing: even if Franco added this and that, a kernel won't magically double your battery life from 2 hours SOT to 4 or 5 hours SOT. The problem is somewhere in your system and either an app or Google's services are causing wakelocks. Franco can't fix that for you. You need to find out what's the problem and then you can find a proper solution instead of moaning in Francos thread. Here is an excellent thread where you can ask for help regarding your battery life.

im not sure if its been mentions before, but using FKU the sound tweaks are difficult to set, the values seem messed up...for example, HEADSET GAIN BOOST, when i boot up, doesnt have any effect, but if i change it to some other value then back to 0, it has maximum effect...and if i try to set the value 0 to boot, it doesnt work. any way around or am i doing something wrong?
