That explains it, your uv is too aggressive and thus causing reboots. Try more conservative values

I tried this set up with interactive and get some lag. Ondemand runs smoother than interactive, but is not totally smooth. Thats is my impression.

I cannot MOUNT USB STORAGE using TWRP. Is this a Kernel side? I heard that franco kernel doesn't support usb mounting unless you use ann app called Stickmount.

I have been using Franco's kernel since I got my nexus 5, over 9 months ago. Used several ROMs, currently on Slim/letmedanz.

Just wanted to say that I am using my phone more and more normally in stead of tweaking and trying to squeeze a little more sot out. Never had a reboot or other weird things.

[MENTION=470754]Franco[/MENTION], you do a great job here. Thanks.

Just my 2 cents

I am on our pure stock, new phone. Minimal apps, no games etc. I'm noticing once in a while my phone just freezes up for a few seconds. Clock 1.7ghz/300mhz, GPU 489, UV -50 across the board, never had a reboot or anything.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
GPU: 489??? If you're overclocking, don't ask for help. Also franco's kernel does not allow overclocking to the GPU, so you might be using some other kernel.

If it's a typo and you ment 389 - provide logs. Also try stock frequencies and no UV!

Hi guys, sorry for being OT, i know maybe its not kernel related but i just want to find out whats causing this issues to me. It happened yesterday and i didnt install any mod or whats so ever...

Can anyone read anything out from my logs. I got this weird issue with hangouts, news & weather and YouTube FC. If i uninstall the updates of them they work again.

TIA

Twrp uses its own kernel iirc

In any case the system's kernel is not loaded while in recovery, so it can hardly be the problem.

Running quad at 883mhz hinders performance by a ton even comparing to 1200. I'll run with these settings for a day or two to see if the battery life is worth it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Seems smoother on quad @ 883 than dual at 1200, battery slightly better. I don't play any games. YouTube, gmail, some browsing. All works fine for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Köhvwezd:
It just seems to be a little more jittery when doing stuff like opening the app drawer and scrolling.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kennypow3rs:
It got more "jittery" for me as well big time. It got so bad I just turned off all animations in the mean time lol.

Nudge it a little higher then... Let us know what freq the jitter stops for you on quad.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Köhvwezd:
Im at 900 mhz with dual (testing on this for a day, then on quad) and there seems to be some jitter while switching pages in the app drawer, but it's negligible.

Where do I change to using just 2 core or 4 in FKU? I recall seeing this option in FauxClock but can't see in FKU?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] el_smurfo:
I get that we're all trying to save battery, but why would anyone do this? Every time I go into kernel tuner, only 1-2 cores are ever running anyways.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
CPU>Hotplug Control > load_treshold > set to 0 for quad, 100 for dual core mode. Basically this is the load required for a core to come online. Set it to 100 and it becomes impossible for all 4 cores to come online. 2 online is the minimum. Set it to 0 and all cores are online all the time.

Personally, I find dual core with some underclock less laggy than 4 cores at even 900MHz. Ultimately it's up to you, and I guess it also depends on what you do. Also don't expect miracles in terms of battery life by crippling your CPU :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Hotplug load_threshold 0 for quad, 100 for dual, trying between for dual/quad based on system load...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] XiaoBBB:
Go to hotplug control under CPU manager and change the 'load threshold' variable: 0 for permanent quad core and 100 for permanent dual core, anything in between is a dual core that goes quad core depending on the work load.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WNSTNSNRS:

Actually, if he were to use the settings from Vomer Tweaks and underclock further he would probably get at least an hour and a half more SOT.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Laggalot:
after testing both 800quad and 1.2 dual i have to say that my network screws me over .... I still only get around 1 hour and 20 minutes with 58 left in the battery .... thats not worth the performance drop . I got a wireless charger for school anyway ^^

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
From my experience, anything 1.2GHz or lower, regardless of load_threshold, will start to affect network speed and filesystem read/write operations. With my device running higher than 1.2GHz, I get a consistent 3.3~3.5 MBs download rate from my NAS. Anything lower, and it starts to slow down.

You may be prolonging the operation and in turn consuming more battery.

It's something you might have to play with to find out where things start to go downhill.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
I will keep saying this, underclocking does not affect bettery life either. Vomertweaks does a little
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Köhvwezd:
An hour of battery life (edit, SOT) from vomertweaks isn't 'little'. And of course it affects battery life. Lower clocks = lower voltage = better battery life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
Lower clocks = longer load times and lower voltage = longer using the highest voltage. Only way to get better battery life is killing wakelocks, having good signal and using your phone less
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Köhvwezd:
This sentence alone proves you don't know what you are talking about. Do you somehow think that vomertweaks, or undervolting, which have evidence of improving battery life, are just magic?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
No, vomertweaks does a little and undervolting does nothing. Tested myself and many people agree with me. Or else every custom kernel had undervolting enabled by standard
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Laggalot:
I only undervolt for the reduced heat!

If underclocking didn't save any battery, Franco's app that sets different max frequencies for different apps would be useless!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
Already saw that thread and only the things from the first post gave me extra battery

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

underclocking and undervolting are different :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Flyview:
You just said neither saves battery. If you like saving battery, try my app, LeanDroid :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Underclocking battery savings vary depending on what apps you use... Heavier apps save more than light apps..

For example, with the n5 playing TS:TO

Stock kernel, approx drain 1% in 2 minutes

Franco kernel (more efficient thermal system, allows the device to run higher freqs more often)

1% in 1 minute.

Underclocking Franco kernel to quad @ 1ghz

1% in 3-4 minutes...

Or a 50-100% improvement over stock kernel/freqs

Lighter apps that don't ramp the freq won't see as much gain, if any..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GtrCraft:
I have it already :P and per app modes is something different than overall underclocking
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] el_smurfo:
I've been trying to get better battery life out of phones for many years. I've tried all the kernel tricks in the book, underclocking, undervolting, etc. Some help (UC), some don't (UV), vomer, greenify, etc... but most aren't worth the performance hit or are xda placebo.

The overall mix of stuff in FK seems like a good compromise, so you can tackle the true battery killer, which is wakelocks. One thing I've been using lately is the Xposed module, "Unbounce", which reduces the number one battery killer of all time, google nlp and location wakelocks and alarms. I like some features of Google Now, so this is a good compromise to get those location aware features without flattening my battery. Try it out...you will hardly believe what your phone is doing behind the scenes that even wakelock detector or bbs don't report.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Not really, the power save functions of per app modes are basically done by controlling the device's frequency (ie, underclock, load targets, cores used)

Only done based on app used rather than global..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] roland23:
I have a small annoying issue : since R63 everytime I receive a call my screen remains black. I have to manually unlock the phone by pressing power button to be able to answer. Not sure that is kernel related though. Maybe you can help me with this.

Running stock Rom and R63 with default settings.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Try flashing stock kernel to see if its kernel related or not.. If it is grab the dmesg log after you get a call and the screen stays blacked.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] suchevent:
Hey, all. I have a question that is loosely kernel related (Francisco, I hope you don't mind).

If I'm having SOD issues and want to grab the logs, must I do this during the SOD (which means that I would have to be near a computer) or can it be done on the phone using an app (SysLog) after it has rebooted? My understanding is that last_kmsg will survive a reboot but dmesg won't. I've read this post but I still need some clarity. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Iirc Last_kmesg is stored as part of the crash/recovery/reboot system, if you reboot the phone (by using the power button) it may/may not exist after reboot, you almost have to pull the dmesg log via adb for it to be of any use... Sometimes you get lucky and last_kmesg will exist and have the info you need after a manual reboot.. (I may be wrong about all this though)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] oOMavrikOo:
Can I use this kernel with the stock ROM for Multi-rom?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
Certainly can, just purchase Franciscos FKU app from the play store it will allow for kernel tweaking. Otherwise just download it directly from the OP and flash using flashify or in custom recovery ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
Wow, the new FKU beta sure is a nice surprise to start the day! Just got the update via Play Store.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fredfox_uk:
PAM doesn't work either :( FKU either crashes or nothing happens when you select PAM and if you try and enable (enable on boot +) PAM in the settings, FKU crashes.

Also selecting the set on boot for CPU temperature display causes a crash :)

I have granted SU access.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] odavans:
very interesting question, can anyone help?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RandomDude:
I just thought I'd throw this question out there regarding Touch Boost. I feel there could be some optimisation done, but I'm not sure the best way.

Typically, when I'm reading a text webpage, or XDA, or document or whatever, I tend to rest my finger on the screen and slowly scroll down as I read. I don't think I'm alone in this.

It occurred to me that Touch Boost would be holding the MHz high, despite the fact that there is no significant GPU/CPU activity or responsiveness required. Therefore, there could be oppourtunity to tweak the logic for Touch Boost to have it fall back down if there is no significant activity.

Is this something that is better addressed in Per-App modes, or in the wider Touch Boost logic? Or should I just take the Apple Antenna-gate mantra of "don't hold it that way"?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] el_smurfo:
If you've got your screen on, I'd think the CPU speed is the least of your problems?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RandomDude:
Yep, I see your logic there. Rather than waste battery by having the screen on I'll print it out instead. Cheers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
In FKU set CPU Manager - Governor Control - boostpulse_duration to 0.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Iirc, touchboost has a limited time use... It's just a quick ramp up to begin after the initial touch, after that boost time has ended, freq is calculated by load...

By leaving your finger on the screen you're actually letting the cpu freq potentially drop from load than if you were tap tap tapping on the screen (resetting the timer each tap)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RandomDude:
Actually that's only partially what I see. For example if you go into FKU, System Monitor, CPU page. Let the CPU idle, then tap the screen - it boosts as expected. Now tap and hold the screen, keeping your finger still. CPU ramps up, then ramps back down - which is good.

But if you tap and hold, and then slowly move your finger down, the CPU remains touch boosted, and doesn't drop back down (I guess this is the touch timer being constantly reset as you move).

Surely there are some optimisations that can be made around calculations of how long to hold a touch boost duration, dependent of rate of finger movement? i.e slow scroll = ramp down, fast scroll = remain boosted.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Well put.

I'm getting about 6 hours SOT with stock kernel settings, so I doubt crippling to 2 cores would get me an extra hour. I wonder if using just 2 cores on a chip built with 4 could create more battery draw?

Either way, I think I'm good as is.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Juzman:
Completely wiped my N5, with a fresh install of OmniRom, PA-Gapps and R63.

Using my same init.d script based on [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] but tweaked. Have set CPU to 1036800 with all 4 on, will see how it goes. Seems snappy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
The touchboost is working great as it is. If you remove the boost while dragging the finger, then you might see stutterness on some ui elements when scrolling.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Visa Declined:
I know others have mentioned, but fku beta won't open kernel settings for me, it won't auto-flash either. It downloads the kernel, and my phone reboots, but I'm still on the same kernel after completion.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
It could, using two cores instead of four could mean using higher freqs longer, higher freqs user more power than lower freqs... Might be noticeable, might not be...

At least yours boots, I got stock on the boot logo..
