Is franco kernel r36 dimmer in dark environment than r33? Is there a way to change this back? :)

Tapatalked from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] treehugger38294:
Let me clarify. My idea of a memory leak was incorrect. Since you clarified it, thank you.

BTW, after several hours of use, numerous apps on my phone are unable to tell my location using WiFi and mobile data. Is this a kernel or ROM problem? A reboot fixes this issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
maybe test the r36 test kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mibtnt:
I might just flash r32 for the time being since I have it saved. Oh wait. I could just download r36 test and flash the image [emoji15]

Edit: I don't believe it was that easy to flash a test. Waw. FKU is so awesome. This nexus like is spoiling me. In that space of time I downloaded and flashed it.

---sent from a N5 on PA4 + Franco's kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeppacher:
Hmmm this is really strange but I just installed the latest test 36 version in hopes of it fixing bluetooth problems and it deleted my phone app. Running PA with stock gapps. Will report back if BT is fixed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
There's really no way installing a kernel could delete your phone app...

fastboot flashing boot, flashify, or fku wouldnt' touch system or data partitions that the apps sit on..... only the boot partition..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] b_rangel29:
This thread wouldn't be nearly as cluttered with nonsense if some people would learn to flash correctly. Half this thread seems like its asking how to flash a kernel and flashing related issues... There are threads and how-to's on how to flash correctly, search for it. It's pretty annoying having to read through countless pages just to get a little relevant information on the actual kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] msgfromside3:
I think gravity box can do it but I have never done it myself
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abra5umente:
I'm in the beta group and I still don't have the r36?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeppacher:
I have flashed countless times on my phone using a medley of methods. I have built and modified my own kernel for source back when I had my gs3. I am not an idiot. I know it doesn't touch the data partition but for some reason after rebooting, my phone app was uninstalled. It was still under the priv-app partition, it just wasn't installed which is weird. I flashed the 35 release and the phone app didn't go away and flashed the 36 test using the FKU in app file browser and once again it uninstalled my phone app. It could be something in the app or something underlying but that;s the result I am getting here. A fix was as simple as a reboot or reinstalling the app using a file browser. Just posting in case someone else has that issue since its only a test release.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
that would be because the beta group is for the fku app, you still have to download the beta kernel images from the op of the thread... they hide on franco's server

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
part of that is from people recommending franco's kernel to their friends without taking the time to teach them how to root/flash their phone...

For many, installing a kernel is one of the first tweaks they make... coming to xda is their first foray into the wilds of device mods... cut them some slack and lend a hand, either with their current issue, or pointing them in the right direction.

Odds are since you're a master at all this, what would take them a couple hours to find searching would only take you a few seconds.

[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] happy to see u here, do u mind sharing what app you are using to manage kernel settings, and what are recommended settings for good battery
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reeco:
My alarms had no sound this morning after flashing r11. As far as I can tell all other audio is working.

I'll reflash now and retest.

EDIT: All seems fine now. Strange
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sordna:
Francisco, or anyone, sorry for the OT but how can I install the jelly bean keyboard .apk (com.google.android.inputmethod.latin) as an update (without removing the kitkat keyboard) ? I saved a copy since the old keyboard with the blue swipe colors and the richer selection of characters when you hold down the "dot" was much better. As you know, when trying to install an older version of an already installed app, android gives you a "Not installed" error. Is there a way to defeat that?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omigosh:
Just bought your app. Been with you during the N7000 GB phase and I loved your dev
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
OK. For the people that only care for benchmarks and gaming, you should just tweak your settings for the hotplug driver. I've played riptide numerous times to test performance. It's there. If you need more, then set it up for what you need. I'd rather have amazing battery than something that is just overkill. Maybe I'm alone in this, but the settings are there for you to tweak.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tontiv:
guys, just a noob question. what does the app do besides updating/tweaking the kernel? what i mean is can i just install the kernel zip file and not the app?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TinTin:
I don't care much about Benchmarks, especially since most manufactureres cheat anyway ( Google with their Nexus devices being a nice exception ), but they come in handy for stress testing.

So, which tweaks did you make?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Yes, you don't need to install the app. The app allows you to tweak the kernel via UI. But all those tweaks can also be done via shell, which is not as easy as letting the app do it for you.

So if you don't want to change the defaults anyways you are fine with only flashing the zip. But by buying the app you support franco which is quite important nonetheless.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Only thing I've changed is lowering the suspend frequency. I don't get any lag gaming, so I'm going after battery savings. I test riptide because that game is all physics. It doesn't lag at all. Once all of the game developers catch up to 4.4 things will be smoother. Riptide is how I judge the kernel performance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bloot:
Just for curiosity I tested the antutu app with r11. It reboots when reached 21%.

Then I flashed back the r10, no reboots and the test finishes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChriKn:
Hy Franco,

Thanks for r11, sound works great IMO using it in my car.

I just got a SOD (I think ?) where the screen didn't turn on again and I had to reboot the phone manually...

This happened after I had problems getting the phone to wake while pressing the power button, as for each try it took longer a bit longer.

I am in the middle of a course now, so I can't post a log (and I think that the hard reset would have ruined it). It's just to tell that if someone has seen the same he's not alone (It was the first time since I flashed the kernel I had any problem.

Awaiting more of your great work ! (Maybe Tap-to-wake ? ;) )

Have a nice day !

There is a very noticeable lag when playing FIFA 14 which is not present in stock kernel. Any ideas on what setting to change to fix this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stevemeister:
[MENTION=4602122]ChriKn[/MENTION] Take some loggs next time ;).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChriKn:
I'll try to, What would help inthis case ? logcat ? kmsg ? Problem is I mostly am outside or in the incapacity of doing logs (the only time this phone sees a usb cable is when coming home at night cherging...) I hate myself for not giving logs... That's hardly the best I can do right now :

​
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] is there a chance to add back the stock ondemand governor as an option?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kojaraty:
Enable "Force 4x MSAA" under developer options in settings. It should perform better.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
That's a workaround, what is causing that lag?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kojaraty:
FIFA 14 doesn't perform great with the stock kernel as well but i am noticing it is performing even worse with fk.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
Yeah, stock was fairly smooth with an occasional lag. With fk its the occasional smoothness with fairly laggy gameplay.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stevemeister:
I always use SysLog to create logs, too lazy to use adb. You could take a last_kmsg and maybe dmsg/Logcat.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] b_rangel29:
I understand completely. We are all new at one point on anything we try or get involved with. I was merely pointing out there are certain places for certain things. I personally went to the learning threads to ask about customizing my devices when I first started flashing ROMs, kernels, etc... Just a reminder to do a little research before attempting these things. (And please learn fastboot, ADB; its an invaluable tool when flashing!!!!)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aow1980:
It was with the help of others I've learned this much. Thank you to all who have taken the time to teach. Also flashing kernels and files with the Nexus 5 is not the same as my s3 and others coming to the Nexus may be use to one way and trying to learn this way.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] frozenhotchocolate:
Actually lately this thread has mainly been about Bluetooth issues. I don't use Bluetooth so it is of no value to me. I was on xda for a while before I even got an account and I rarely post as I discovered the search function a long time ago. I just don't understand how people get annoyed when people ask seemingly obvious questions. If you don't want to answer the question then move along. Franco has been clear that this is a rather open ended forum. Being new at this can be extremely overwhelming. Should I be annoyed that for the past couple days I have been scrolling through comments about Bluetooth that don't pertain to me since I don't use Bluetooth. No, I just scroll on through.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] abra5umente:
+1

People need to harden up a little bit.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
I too understand what you are saying but it makes it a lot harder when you come to the dev section trying to find something development related & all you see is "My bluetooth doesn't work after r34” or "My FKU settings don't stick after a reboot" & there are no logs attached & the answer to their question is on the previous page. It happens on a daily basis. It doesn't really bother me but I can definitely see where it could erk someone! Sorry for OT.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] - It just happened again. On the latest beta u released today. pam worked fine, some 1 hour later, it refused to work. When I opened fku to check/uncheck pam, it force closed!.

Also, one other question. - lets say you open fku. Then open 20 other apps. fku will then be no longer available in the recents screen. Does it mean that it's getting auto killed?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
my favorite ones are the "mai blutooth dont werk, hao 2 fix?" no kernel version, no bt device connecting to, no logs... just laugh and move on.

:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kypeth:
I find it logical that the "Backlight Dimmer" option should be located within color control and that Color control would do well to be renamed Display control, to have better symmetry with your standalone display control app. Sorry if I seem like a jerk with ocd by suggesting this, it is just a suggestion, and I appreciate all your input and efforts.

Would you be willing to create a F2FS compatible version of your kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gharrrrrr:
Pretty sure I remember someone asking this some pages back. And his reply was no. But don't quote me on it. If you would like Franco F2FS I have a link for it. The developer only uses stable/official releases of Franco though and of course use at own risk and report issues to that thread not this one. And if you try it PM me with results. I'm tempted to try myself. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Actually you're right, but it shows the laziness and spoonfeed mentality of some people. Their time in not more valuable, that they can not search for things. ... or even just go one or two pages back.

This is what bothers me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] semcosweeper:
As much as I follow this thread (which is every post, all day long) I want to recommend Franco to people who would never look at XDA. Just because I want them to get the best of their phone that they can possibly get. But we have to be willing to help the clueless
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] manny05:
It's definitely a leak..

I notice it happens way more often when I use bluetooth to play music through my car.. After two songs... My music players stops playing. I check the ram usage. It's always at 1.2 gb used, my only choice is restart the phone and even that after a couple of songs it's back to the same problem...

Mind you I'm not doing anything else with my phone! It's not like I'm using Chrome.. YouTube etc all at the same time.

Also when this happens my phone gets sluggish.. Home button delay, back.. Etc.. Not sure why the phone can't use the rest of the 800 mb.. Nonetheless it's a problem.. Just wanted to clarify!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iPsychoGeek:
Hello, I use r36 and latest FKU beta. Today I get a problem with all cores stuck online and min frequency got stuck at 1497MHz.

Sorry, I don't have a logcat, cuz I turned it off, next time I'll try to catch this bug with logcat.

I think something wrong with PerApp mode, 1497 was mine max frequency for PerApp mode.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fbf2201:
There already are countless of threads and posts to help the clueless.

They should be willing to search and understand themselves and not just being spoonfed. Otherwise, if they brick their phone or something, they just come back and cry.

Don't get it wrongly - it's not that we shouldn't help, but people should at least show some effort.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] semcosweeper:
You're probably right. I just know as ignorant as I am I still try to help people as much as I can. But that's a Southern boy in me doing what I can to help even when it is spoonfeeding

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] - just when I thought it was fixed (worked well for half a day), it derped again. Pam went non responsive :( had to disable / re enable pam again.

Can you make it unkillable? I think you can give this a shot even though you find it very hacky because it's still a beta. We'll test collectively.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Hi Blueren, since Franco updated the app about 12 hours ago PAM has worked fine for me. Just to be on the safe side go through a few minor trouble shooting things;

Use file manager go to sd/franco kernel updater/ saved per app modes and clear that folder delete anything in there.

Check FKU app set app settings to ensure toast messages are shown. Double check that per app modes is active.

Reboot

Set up your modes again and add them to your apps.

I'm at 11 hours uptime and its still working although a lot of the time I was asleep but the process wasn't killed over night.

Failing that go for full fku data clear, get new super user permissions for FKU. Set su manager to ask for new permissions each time an app is updated.

Also are you using SuperSu or the kouch version?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Its a good thing to want to help people but they have to want to help them selves if they want to do anything.

A good a place to start is my FKU learner lounge thread, its set up with noobs especially in mind and iv tried to make it all as simple as I can. Link in sig, check it out. If you like it by all means send your mates the link to look them selves!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
Do you have it there when you reboot your phone?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lownita:
Just a suggestion, wouldn't it be better to leave auto brightness at stock values and make the current ones (r36) optional?

When I am browsing my phone in a completely dark room, I still find it to dim.

Tapatalked from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Not during the boot animation if that's what you mean! Seems odd if it won't show up but the usual trouble shoot steps I do for apps is clear app data and reboot, it that doesn't work uninstall the app, delte any folders it made on my SD, reboot, reinstall, don't restore from titanium
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
I mean, after you boot up the phone, is fku in the recent app or does it work in background even if it doesn't show up? If I manually open fku it shows of course..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Oh right I see what you mean now. So, if you have anything set on boot and you reboot, the phone will load those values automaticly a few seconds after boot process is finished. Look for Franco kernel updater has been given superuser permissions toast message. The per app mode service will run in the back ground, you don't need to open fku app for it to work, BUT if you open it and swipe it out of recents the per app mode won't work again until you reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
Ok.. I disabled the per app mode service.. So it's normal not to Ave the fku in the recent apps on boot.. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
nm me
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Yeah completely normal. The difference is the app is an interface to control the settings and per app mode is a back ground service.

Go to settings/apps/running and that will show you which apps run different services.

Make sense?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
Thanks. I've been toggling between a lot of apps. As long as ur opening .. lets say 3 apps and nothign else, it works amazingly well!

I'm using PA which has superuserSU. To be on the safer side, i've set - Grant root during boot / trust system app etc.

I'm monitoring this. It's happened 2 times. But I must say, the process stays longer than it did in the previous update.

Recently sold my N4 for a N5.

Now i'm with Franco kernel again, like it was on my N4 forever.

r36 is great, haven't seen anything weird so far.

Thanks Franco.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
Yes but even there I don't see fku.. So the settings I have made don't work?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Maybe instead of switching directly between two apps (true multi task) see what happens if you press home first, get to the launcher, you should see something like its returned to normal then go to your other app.

If you set anything on boot it works automatically
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] glorifiedg:
I'm losing my signal very often since r34.i restored stock kernel and I don't have this problem anymore.

Anyone else?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
I've tried that as well! :) let me see when it fails again. I've rebooted. If the service did indeed get killed, maybe franco can add a toast msg or notification indicating that it's getting killed .. or something like that

So that we can see when it gets killed

Franco, iv just been playing some music from my headphones and decided I'll actually monitor the logcat behaviours.

It seems to me when the skipping of music is taking place the logcat is spamming about camera errors which seems bizarre as I wouldn't of thought media play back and hardware sencors are related. I recorded this logcat while playing music and turned off the screen. The music starts to act up when screen off and display locks after about 5 seconds.

If it helps you be able to replicate I use face unlock with front camera and blink detection. The skipping still occurs though if I change lock screen to 'none'.
