Its not about being good, I wanted to test it, but I ended up forgetting I had it, I noticed no change in performance at all when opening apps and that's mostly where these runtime compiler patches shine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] P.Mobile:
im reading dont see what im looking for tho.. so i take as a no i guess
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Off topic, trailblazers are killing this year lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pinoymutt:
+1 only difference is that I used CWM vs TWRP and I had to disable Xposed, but the nice thing is when I reenabled Xposed after flashing all my mods came right back without having to reconfigure! Just need source to come out for the kernel so our man can do some franco magic on the latest! :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
Gotcha.

I screwed up and deleted a file I need.

I never thought about backing up.

I only have a slow network.

I'm impatient.

You must give me the file now. Share it, dammit!

Good luck with that.

To be able to flash 4.4.1 just fastboot flash system.IMG and boot.IMG from 4.4 image....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] oediv:
Well same here, after flashing catalysm i didnt reflash the Patch cause i didnt see any different. At the Beginn i "hope" that opening apps needs less time so the CPU have to work shorter = more battery

But it wasnt so :(

Oo yeah haha. I'm a pretty optimistic fan but was still pretty skeptical of this team. But after the nail biter wins over Indiana and OKC, I'm convinced: teams legit
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes, that's much easier, but most users get scared when fastbooting stuff, so rather gave them the step by step if they only want to flash boot.img.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
Guys how did you take the root again after flashing the 4.4.1? :eek:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] STi_Fanatic:
Same way you did it the first time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] javacody:
By using CF Autoroot. The same way I did it the first time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
Umh...first time i just used a modified boot.img but that one isn't viable now, it's for 4.41.

Anyway i have just done via cmd :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jphilippon:
So should we wait for source to be released or are you guys using Franco on 4.4.1?

sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Its your choice, but I would wait until Kernel source is out. I'm 100% stock right now... but I already looked over to the N5 a couple times feeling the urge of flashing FK :p

Step by step for noob users with stock 4.4 + root + franco kernel to 4.4.1 + root + franco kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] EmperorX:
Does anyone have the stock system image in zip format? Is that even possible? I am currently mobile and flying on on a plane so ..... Lol

I flashed the stock kernel back and just need stock system img I think... Does this include system apps? Because I currently have a modified exchange apk that just needs to be replaced with stock. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Khaiyan:
Ah, so I can just flash boot.img and system.img? No need to rename the files you previously mentioned?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] STi_Fanatic:
If you flash those two files, it will replace the modified versions with the stock versions, thus negating the need to rename them.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anaglich:
Im sorry, but where in the world can I find these two files - system.img and boot.img.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the1dynasty:
this ^^^
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pinoymutt:
Get a copy of UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and flash it in CWM/TWRP - viola, rerooted.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I already posted it........

1 - Rename /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so.bak to /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so

2 - Rename /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh-bak to /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh

3 - Reboot to the bootloader and flash stock Kernel by downloading the Nexus images and then fastboot flash boot boot.img

4 - If you're using those Moto X dalvik patches you gotta reflash stock system.img, just use the images you just downloaded from 2) and do fastboot flash system system.img

5 - ???

6 - Profit.﻿

Nexus images, google it and its the first hit.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] STi_Fanatic:
If you're messing around with kernels at this stage in the game, you really should know the answer to this question.

That being said:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shakuyi:
thats exactly what i did and it works fine

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

reboot recovery (TWRP for me)

flash OTA

re-root as requested

profit and abuse the new camera

its a bit improvement from before when it couldnt focus for ****
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Khaiyan:
Ah right, just so to confirm, those two files I have to flash are from the 4.4 image? Also after flashing those two, I have to flash 4.4.1 boot img?

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

Ah right. And these image files are from 4.4 and not 4.4.1, correct?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] STi_Fanatic:
The post above yours contains great directions for doing what you wish to accomplish. I personally am waiting for a new FK before applying the OTA since I value excellent battery life over camera tweaks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Random question but is that lock screen slide indicator lag still there in 4.4.1? Just curious about it lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pinoymutt:
You have two choices:

1. Rename the two files that Franco listed (it's also in the FAQ), flash the stock kernel (you can fastboot flash boot.img, use flashify, or get a copy of the CWM/TWRP flashable stock kernel in the dev thread). Reboot and verify everything is stock, then reboot back into recovery. Flash the OTA zip and then for good measure flash a UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.xx.zip to reroot before rebooting. You are done.

2. OR if you don't want to rename the two files, you can fastboot flash the system.img file as well as the boot.img file, which essentially does the same thing. The rest of the steps are the same.

As for putting franco back on -- it's amazing how many people aren't reading and listening. The MAN FRANCO himself is recommended that you DO NOT put r17 on the lastest version until source is released and he can come up with an update. You are just playing with fire. It might work, but no reason to mess with it, especially when the dev himself says wait.

FWIW, I just installed the 4.4.1 update, flashed SuperSU 1.8, flashed Franco r17, and all seems fine! I had to re-enable Xposed, but that's all.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] timbck2:
I hope this isn't off-topic, but I downloaded the 4.4.1 update, flashed my kernel back to stock, then attempted to flash the update, and it failed. The error was something about a thermal binary (sorry, I didn't write it down). Any ideas? Or where else I should look for help?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anaglich:
I flashed R17 on 4.4.1. :cool:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] IAreKyleW00t:
Go here: download.chainfire.eu/supersu and downloaded the latest flashable ZIP and then flash it in recovery. That's how I do it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] timbck2:
How would I have known to do that? How and why did that binary get renamed?

OK, I renamed the file and attempted the update again. This time it fails with the following error: "/system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so has unexpecte" (then it's cut off and I don't see any way to view the rest of the message). Why am I having so many problems?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cadbomb:
Simple answer? Because it's made easy to do by either double clicking or following an easy 1..2..3.. process.

Most people either don't take the time to learn or simply aren't tech savvy enough to understand the necessary language being conveyed, so reliance on others without due diligence ensues. Mind you, this is not the case for all people, but what seems to be a vast majority.

Everybody wants the latest and greatest and best of the best, regardless of the cost. And somehow when something goes wrong or change comes about, assistance is assumed, demanded, or otherwise expected. This is a simple human condition.

I apologise in advance for any delivered offenses, but this has been my experience in reading the forums since android rooting and development has become so popular.

I say forget the flaming, calm down, drink a beer, and help where you can. The only thing we can control is ourselves. (Simply not answering questions that irritate, you will encourage self resolution and avoid animosity.)

Francisco, this is way off topic of your kernel thread, as are many other "you're an idiot" flame and rant posts in this thread. Any chance you can hit up a moderator to clean this thing out, to include this post?

Thanks!

It happens when you flash Franco kernel I believe.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Because I already posted the step by step instructions to flash OTA.zip 2 or 3 times and its posted on the FAQ in the OP.

That said, that file is renamed because we don't want the stock thermal-engine to run. Unfortunately if we leave that file untouched, even we stop the service, it comes back on after a while, so renaming it and we're golden.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] timbck2:
Sorry, it didn't even occur to me to check the OP for update instructions. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RussianBear:
Franco, do you mind making an .img or .zip of the new 4.4.1 kernel, by any chance?

The OTA has boot.img.p file, but from what I've read, it's just the patch file.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Already modified, sorry. Just flash 4.4.1 ota.zip and extract it yourself, its easy.

Its usually pretty fast. I'm sure Kernel sources will be out when the Nexus images are also out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Those are just binaries. The zImage-dtb is the Kernel itself compiled with the device trees.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TaintedByte:
Because the custom kernel doesn't use those files so it just backs them up. When the update zip looks for those files and doesn't find them it fails.

Do the same thing for power.msm8974.so.bak as you did for the other file, just remove the .bak

Colour calibration for Nexus 5 - coming soon!

Just got my Nexus 5 (D821), 32GB black :)

I'm running stock for now and will run Franco's kernel as soon as he has official support for it in his app, and I can get CWM on there as my recovery to flash the ZIP files.

No doubt a lot of you will be waiting for me to provide a new set of colour corrected numbers as I did with the Nexus 4, to give you a precise, calibrated screen, so rest assured that I will be doing exactly that as soon as possible!

At first glance the screen is a lot brighter than the Nexus 4, so hopefully those of you who found the Nexus 4 visceralpsyche profile a bit dark, will have a better time of it with the new phone. I intend to make a profile that is properly calibrated, but also one that allows for as high a brightness as possible without clipping colours, so you are then free to set the official 120cd/m2 brightness level OR set a higher brightness that is still colour accurate, just brighter than spec.

Cheers from Tokyo!
