It's certainly a step in the right direction, so kudos to the Dev for getting it work as it does. Long way off being a daily driver for someone who uses this device as their primary device and the battery doesn't last long even when it's just left doing nothing, but that's what's to be expected in these early days.

Hi guys,

I'm on LineageOS 14.1 and FrancoKernel r111. I'm using Franco's kernel app to set min/max CPU freq, etc..

My minimum CPU freq is set to 300MHz, is it normal that if I touch the screen then the minimum CPU freq switches to 729MHz for few seconds? I'm talking about the actual setting in the app..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yup. The default boost freq is higher, but if you set it lower then that's the reason.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r112 with more security patches!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] armando_rod:
The changelog still says r111
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] L.F.B.:
Im just waiting pure nexus to push up Oreo.

This is my daily device and Nexus 7 2013.?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Oh darn I forgot to update the changelog file.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just realized how gigantic this thread really is. This device was absurdely popular and I'm so glad to have been through this journey with you all!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lmulli:
It says Oreo, I downloaded it from your 8 folder, but it doesn't appear to work alas. Just dumps me back at the bootloader each time. Easily remedied though with a backup though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
I will install on my dark ROM but dirty flash. Is procedure to clean cache & dalvik, install ROM, install Magisk then the FK? Thanks! I don't want to have bootloop at this point

Yeah, look in the mirror and you'll see who's to blame:laugh:

Hello,

FYI: latest two releases of this kernel break EDS encryption app. It force closes immediately after opening. Going back to prior version.

K.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
It's probably due to a security fix, so you should probably instead report it to the app developer with some logs so they can try and work around it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nleitao:
Obrigado Francisco plo excelente trabalho.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It should work unless the rom your using made changes that need some kind of Kernel support? Dunno really. What I tested worked fine.

You don't need to wipe caches.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
Yes I do need to wipe dalvik & cache because I will dirty flash ROM first. Then install Magisk & kernel or whichever comes first? Thanks Dev. I miss using your superb kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] L.F.B.:
This is a really sucesfull project. It will always be!

Its all your fault Master Franco.

You havee created a legion of crazy fans.?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aleksb1712:
Lost network on dark rom with the kernel franco r112
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Wiping those caches is useless for what you're doing.

FK doesn't touch the network, and with 2353458943754305938 users not once being such thing reported you're probably just using some weird ass rom, either outdated or some crazy ass ****! :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dawidececk:
Thanks!

Thanks for this kernel! After broken LG G3 this is my "new" phone. This kernel is one of things why I choose N5.

300-1547MHz

Interactive

-75mV globally

CPU input boost off

2y old battery

RR 5.8.4
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ysfzone:
How i can set 75mV globally ?

How i can turn CPU input boost off ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
You won't see magical results / improvement just by doing that. You should be able to use Franco's app to UV and change input boost
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paschfire:
I wouldn't suggest applying the same -75mv UV values until you are sure your Nexus 5 CPU can handle it, this can be done by gradually increase the undervolt value by -5mv over a 12-24hr period until the set value can be determined as stable. -25mv should be an ok starting point but obviously there are no guarantees.

NOTE!! Making sure the UV set-on-boot toggle is disabled within FKMU until the set UV values can be deemed stable, if not you could be setting yourself up for a continuous loop of bootloops everytime the UV values are reapplied after every reboot.

Not all CPUs are created equally as the SoC silicon is rated on a scale of 1~5(slow-nominal-fast-faster-fastest), this 'bin rating' determines the grade quality and performance of the chipset and will also determine what the stock voltage table values will be set to.

For example a CPU with a binning level of 2 will have different base voltage table values compared to a CPU with a binning level of 5.

Even then, when comparing two CPUs with the same binning level as they may have the same stock voltage table values may not be able to handle the same undervolt value changes and doing so could causing erratic performance, bootloops or other issues.

You can determine the CPU bin level by using the following terminal command.

su

dmesg | grep PVS

Undervolting will return very little if anything in regards to battery savings, at most it will only slightly decrease the temperature output of the chipset and this may not even be detectable.

Imho.. It maybe better to just leave the stock voltage values intacted, as undervolting can have a greater possibility of erection performance comparing to what will be minimal in any performance gains.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fun12892:
Is this normal? I set the max frequency to 2265 MHz but it always reverts to 1497 MHz. I couldn't find someone who has the same problem on Nougat on this thread. Or is it a feature?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thermal throttle?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fun12892:
Right. I just checked. Thank you very much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paschfire:
Let the device cool down in standby for 5~10mins and recheck, most likely thermal throttle.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gab92:
Hello everyone and hello Franco.

So I just bought back a Nexus 5 after my beloved OPO was stolen.

And I need some help there !

- I want to install Android 7.2.1 with Franco's kernel, which ROM should I use ? my Nexus is on 6.0.1 and wont update with official update, it is stuck, i dont know why, and anyway I think I should go with custom kernel. I am looking for a neat ROM, fluid, stable, with good battery consumption and good camera.

Franco if you read me, which one are you personnaly using, or which one would you recommend to use with your kernel ?

-Second question : if running Androind 7.2.1, which kernel version I am suppose to download ? r112 will work ?

Thanks in advance, and thank you for your amazing work ! I wish my OPO wasnt stolen because I wanted to try your kernel on it but oh well, will be on my Nexus 5 !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KittenSauce:
The Nexus 5 has not gotten official updates since 6.0.1, hence why you can not download an OTA upgrade. Personally, I use LineageOS with this kernel, which I find to be quite fluid, stable, battery-optimized, etc. The camera is hardware, so the ROM won't exactly change that; however, non-stock ROMs seem to have some trouble with Google Camera, so you'll need to install an older version of it to get HDR+ support (there's a flashable ZIP in a thread somewhere -- not sure where to find it).

You should navigate to "7.1.2" > "anyKernel" on Franco's webserver. Download the file at the bottom of the page (currently, it should be r112). Obviously you should not download the one for 8.0.0 if you don't have an Oreo ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gab92:
Thanks for the quick reply !

-I was looking for lineage, but on my OPO it was quite buggy, and as it is still in nightly, and from what I read, it seems like it was still buggy ? But could be it ! I like lineage, like I liked cyanogen.

EDIT : Isn't LineageOS ROM CAF ? And this kernel not suppose to run under CAF ROM ?

What do you think of AOSP ROM?

For camera, I read some ROM comes with better camera software that can let's say use full capacity of it and have good treatment of image, (for example sultan camera for OPO is suppose to be great)

-Oh that's why ! I was looking at the dates, but they seemed update the same time, I thought it was just the same for each folders. Thanks ! Will download right one :D

Thanks again
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KittenSauce:
Well, this phone isn't the OnePlus One, for one thing :P

LineageOS is, officially, only a hammerhead ROM (no CAF). However, there is a fork of LOS for hammerheadcaf; though I've heard it's not really worth installing.

If you want an AOSP ROM, you could use Santosh's Nougat builds, or Pure Nexus. Those are the two I can name off the top of my head, at least; I'm sure there are more.

Google Camera uses proprietary code engineered specifically for Nexus/Pixel cameras, named HDR+. Because it is closed source (I believe), other camera software can not take advantage of the hardware like Google's app can. However, the latest Google Camera app no longer works on the Nexus 5 with Nougat (not sure why), so an older version must be used.

This version can be found here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70442654&postcount=37

It's a flashable ZIP. I don't think you need to reinstall the ROM to flash it properly, but you might have to reflash it whenever you update the ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gab92:
Thanks again ! Finally I will move to lineage OS and this kernel. Just need to figure out few things before installing everything :D -> https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73987654&postcount=2351

Just so you're aware, any FK builds residing in the 8.0 folder are identical to samely named builds available elsewhere in other folders (eg. 7.1.2), this goes for all duplicate FK placements within other folders.

I've since checked MD5 matches to confirm this statement.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
That's AK2 magic at its finest right there. :D

Yeah it's just duplicated for the app to know what's what, nothing else.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
They are actually just symbolic links to the 6.0 directory :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Palmiro:
Dear colleagues, sorry for the inconvenience but I need your help, I have installed on my Nexus 5 the original Android 6.01 version M4830Z and the Franco kernel r112. I installed it using the application Franco Kernel Update and after installation when I answer the phone call the other caller can not hear my voice. If I record a voice message using the Whatsapp I have a file without sound. The google assistant interface also does not recognize any sound when I use the microphone. At this point you might think it's a hardware fault, but if I pick up the call using a loudspeaker the caller listens perfectly and if I record a voicemail using the Waze application everything works as expected. Has anyone had this problem yet and have any suggestions?

Sorry for any mistake, English is not my native language.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Dunno, that portion of the driver is 100% stock and I haven't seen a single report of such a thing. Sorry.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Palmiro:
Thank you, if I find out anything else I'll let you know.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] what kernel version to support oreo ????
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paschfire:
Try using the search function before posting, the answer to this question was discussed within the previous posts above your own.

FKr112 is the latest version and Oreo compatible.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
I installed FKr112 always back to bootloader when I reboot system in TWRP
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hbenz2008:
Same here
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
That's got nothing to do with FK. Official TWRP is buggy. There's an unofficial one from [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] linked in the hammerhead TWRP thread that fixes it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
Ok I will try it :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
So this is what you mean ???
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
I success install TWRP 3.1.1-1BETA1...but kernel Still not working...back again to bootloader
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Okay, you need to make a proper report then. What ROM? Did you come from another custom kernel? Any other mods?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
I used this rom https://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-unlegacy-android-project-t3593425/page36 root use superSU v2.28-SR5...I NOT use any mods and not use costom kernel... everything default from rom
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
default kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Maybe an incompatibility with that ROM then, either kernel (zImage) needs a commit or they changed something in the ramdisk that does something funky with AK2. It'll need further testing.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
Yup....I ready for testing :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
First thing you can try is to reflash the boot.img that comes with the ROM zip, then extract the zImage from the AK2 zip and do `fastboot flash zimage zImage` with it. See if that boots.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
Where can I get it AK2.zip ????
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
The r112 zip
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pjotr91:
Nothing.

It returns back to fastboot. Rom doesn't boot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
So that suggests there's a kernel commit the ROM expects. [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] will have to look into that further to see if it's something that will work on all other ROMs or not.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
I just to try it....This is happening me too after reboot system to TWRP back to bootloader
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Probably just another **** from mkbootfs :/

Hey guys I just installed latest kernel for Nexus 5 but I wanna know if it's normal for the cpu to always just run 1 core and all other 3 cores offline ? I'm using LOS 14.1 nougat 7.1.2

All four cores should be active/online during onscreen use.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gian232:
Yeah they show as online but it's weird in geekbench or any kernel manager shows like 1 core [MENTION=3058039]2.2[/MENTION]7 and 3 cores [MENTION=2281583]0.0[/MENTION]0hz also shows for cpu frequencys tab as little cluster and big cluster that's my primary doubt thanks for the rep tho !

I don't know what've done, but your device is royally screwed. Dirty flash the rom then flash FK.

The Kernel has nothing to do with GPS.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gian232:
I've flashed black the stock kernel and now it's all good all shows normal like how it should. I did a clean Flash when I installed this ROM tho dunno what might be. I saw that when mpdecision was off then it showed like 1 core and 3 cores off while using ElementalX if I turned it ON then all would come to normal again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paschfire:
ElementalX?

Sounds like something is left over from a previous Kernel install, maybe conflicting config files or kernel manager app causing the issues.

For best results you should be using FKM&U app to control and configure FK, you need also to delete and remove all previous custom Kernel related files or app before installing FK to avoid these types of problems.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Last time I checked EX left a bunch of config files all over the place too, so if one did a dirty flash of FK over top, it's entirely likely something could be causing problems.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kingkhan2843:
hey bro please add LCD Kcal support in your kernel.thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paschfire:
