So I just noticed the MIC and more importantly the speaker gain options and I must say that's a god send. I upped the speaker to like 10 and playing music is a dream now. So Kuddos to Franco for that. My only other concern is how to increase the levels of google now (mic/lady). I know youtube is probably just dependant on what you are viewing and how its encoded...so I can't grip about that.

Any initial thoughts on system sounds like google responding back to you? I Know audio/notifications can be increased by just doing an adb pull to your PC and using software...but system sounds like google are so damn quiet
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bilago:
I still don't get why you think I was asking for help to find the location of the changelog. I just asked Franco to include it to the OP, since A) It's faster then checking his GIT every day and B) It will reduce the amount of requests for the location of the Changelog. As he said, he just added it to the OP yesterday, which would apparently make the request I submitted, a valid post (other than the fact that I removed my post in less than a minute of posting, since I realized he finally put it up). Your attempt to minimize clutter backfired, considering my single, changed post has now turn into half a page of non informative, semi off topic, discussion.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I'm not sure how much this directly answers your question, but I know that Google has been working on an update for the 5 since launch. I'm not sure what the full scope of the update is, but I know a couple of things that will be included. They are going to fix a couple of camera issues, thankfully the camera issues were all firmware related. Also, they are fixing speaker issues. If you notice, you could watch a video from a web page, then watch the same video from YouTube, and the sound quality is vastly different, especially with dialog. I'm hoping we will see this dot update soon as I'm sure it will make a huge difference for our devices.

Loving the kernel and each app update :highfive:

Btw what ROMs are you guys using? I've stuck to Cataclysm as it's based off stock and it seems whatever CM are doing (and CM based ROMs) is intefering with custom kernels. Can't wait for PA.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ion_elgreco:
I just noticed when I use my camera app and i switch to front camera app, it doesnt switch. In the settings it gives the front camera settings but i still see my back camera. This wasn't before I installed kernel and I haven't installed something after the kernel. What could have caused this?

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] just a typo on your kernel app, in App settings under ZIPs download path, you put "it goes straigh to this location"
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letdatbassknock:
Disregard my post, because it seems to be happening when I flash any kernel besides the stock one. I've only been using r33 since I got my device but never really recorded any videos until recently. It's perfectly fine and saves the videos before flashing any custom kernels. I just tried the r45 and it did the same thing, wouldn't save them.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Reflash your Rom (clean)... Sounds like it's buggered somehow...

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

Do me a favour... install System monitor (paid app) and use the flying monitor to track cpu usage.. compare how the frequencies are handled on both stock and with franco's kernel. franco's kernel uses the higher cpu frequencies more readily and stay there longer, thus generating more heat, causing his implementation of the thermal throttle subsystem to activate (more heat requires a deeper throttling in order to dissipate it as quickly). It's fine that you're basing your assumptions on what you've read, not sure how you've seen the kernel frequencies in play (unless you're already using the app to follow cpu stepping)

It's not the rate of scale that generates heat, it's the frequency step in use... Higher frequencies generate more heat, franco's kernel is able to sit at those higher frequencies longer than the stock kernel because Of The Different Implementations Of The Thermal Throttle Subsystem.

Watching the cpu freq via the flying monitor, I have seen it ramp from 300 to 2.3 instantaneously, or at least faster than my perceptions allow me to notice... the "delays" between on-demand and interactive that you read about are in milliseconds.. On demand jumps to max freq under load then steps down freq's to find the target loading... interactive performs a few extra calculations then scales to the target loading. So yes, it may take a handful of clock cycles for interactive to speed up.. but even at 300mhz, there is still roughly 300,000,000 clock cycles per second...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Flyview:
I can't get that app right now but I don't think it's good enough to just watch the differences in how quickly they scale. Like you said, the differences are small. Anyway, remember when I was saying YouTube audio was stuttering on interactive and then a reboot fixed it? I just went to play a video and it was doing it again every 5 seconds or so. Switched to ondemand and everything is perfectly smooth, same frequencies. We'll see how it goes, people were saying they were getting reboots with ondemand so I'll look out for that. Something must be a little messed up with interactive if it causes YouTube lag, but a reboot will fix it. My uptime right now is 3 days so if you're constantly rebooting you'll probably never run into this issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I generally only reboot when making system changes that require it.. and I've never had youtube stutter on interactive...

and just so you are aware, just because two governors have the same range of frequencies available, does not mean that they are using the same frequency for the same task. okay way to know for certain is with a monitor on the cpu freq.

The only time I have had youtube "stutter" is when the playback was going faster than the buffering due to poor network connections. (I even locked the cpu freq to 422mhz and youtube played clean, both sd and hd videos...)

Have you adjusted the gpu frequency any?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Flyview:
Yes I understand the differences between governors. I haven't adjusted anything other than max frequency. Yes I agree, you don't need a fast frequency to play youtube smoothly, but something in the interactive governor is causing it to hiccup. What's your up time right now?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
21 hrs, new test kernel came out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
47 hours uptime here and I don't have these youtube isues. Never had, really. Very strange issue from what I hear.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aow1980:
Sorry for another noob question, but is there a way to setup Franco nightgowns for repo sync? I've downloaded and compiled with everything working. But everything I try to init a repo for it fails.

And yes I've searched but seem to be missing something.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Why are you trying to use repo for this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I didn't know you made nightgowns francisco. :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aow1980:
Mostly for learning to compile and build. I know with roms using repo sync allows to keep up with some of the changes. So new to this so I thought repo would be used for kernels too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AmmVid:
Just a quick question. How come whenever I play a game that is just a LITTLE graphic intensive (Clash of Clans), the battery drains pretty quick? I've under clocked to 960MHz and UV -100, and it still eats up my battery. Any help?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
UV does next to nothing for battery. There are a lot of tunables you can edit to extend battery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
mobile games eat up battery. this is nothing new
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
because games like that keep the cpu (and gpu) at max freq more often than not...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AmmVid:
Oh so if I were

To make a PAM for the game to have a max of 500, would that help?

Thanks! I'll try and find out find things I can do.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
maybe, maybe not... it might just be that you limit the cpu too much and make the game unplayable...

It's all about balance..Games like that drain the battery, you can only try to reduce how quickly...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AmmVid:
Thanks for all the help! I'll mess around with settings and see what happens. Thanks so much man.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ryukiri:
Do you mean nightlies instead of nightgowns? If so, do a

git clone https://github.com/franciscofranco/hammerhead.git -b nightlies

if you want just the kernel source.

If you want to build an entire ROM with it, you need to add

<project name="franciscofranco/hammerhead" path="kernel/lge/franco" remote="github" revision="nightlies" />

to your local_manifests/roomservice.xml and then modify your device tree's BoardConfig.mk to reflect the config change.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Aww, and here I was hoping franciscofranco had branched out into nighties.... :p

I was going to order a couple.

Just think of how good a sleep we would probably get in one of his nighties... look at how well his kernels make our phones/tablets sleep... :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] resynx:
Franco, all of the tests you've been pushing lately have been working flawlessly for me. Performance is smooth and battery life is great! :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
Pam --> max 1190, touchboost: 960; GPU 320. The game will stutter at times, but manageable.

But i'd say u bump up the max to at least 1.2 or 1.4 because it's somewhat better to have it linger at 1.2 for a shorter duration than always hover at 900 mhz in order to get the same job done...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
I'd do CPU max freq to 1.5 and use target_loads (and perhaps even above_hispeed_delay) to make it jump over 960 more difficult. That way it's stil got the option when needed.

R47 SOD

Hi [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION],

I've just had another SOD using R47. The situation was exactly the same as the last incident I reported on 30th April - I'm using stock ROM with Xposed (mainly for Gravity Box) with stock Franco kernel settings (R47), phone plugged in overnight to charge but no response when the power button was pressed, although there was ongoing LED notification.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r32-t2508284/post52304303#post52304303

The log from today's incident attached below . . .

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19242201/2014-05-05_07.23.zip

Not sure if comparing this log to the previous one will help (any common features in the logs?).

One other thing to note is that I'm using Lightflow - could this be a contributing factor?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexeius:
Hmm. My phone can't boot, stuck at Google logo with snapshot m6 cm and Franco (47 or 48 test no matter). Is it only for me?

Everything was excellent on 04/28 build :(

I'm mad, cm isn't compatible and blah blah, also m6 is older than latest nightlies. Sorry for that question.

CM isn't compatible with Franco kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] topgeardave:
Franco was never really supposed to work cm but it did. Unfortunately now it doesn't work at all so you'll have to resort to a CAF kernel. Chaos and ElementalX are the first that comes to mind although I use chaos right now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AmmVid:
I'll give this a shot. By touchboost do you mean input boost frequency? Thanks for the help.

Thanks I'll try both 1.2 and 1.5 GHz and see what works best.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mariborcan:
Hello everyone!

I was using stock kernel the other day and I've noticed that games run so much smoother than on franco. I know that that is for better battery life but I would like to get that performance on franco if possible? I have the franco.Kernel updater app but the frequency is set maximum to 2265Mhz can any one recommaned how should I change the settings to get that performance like stock? I dunno much about tweaking kernel... I know that battery life will be shorter like on stock but I can live with that if it is like stock :) BTW love the kernel and the colors!!!

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] choosetobelieve:
Try elemental x kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mariborcan:
Well I would like to stay on franco cause I like the app and update system of this kernel :) if it would be possible to set it to work like elemental x? and besides I've already purchased franco app from play store.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
Use the ondemand governor. If that doesn't work then increase input boost duration to 1,000,000 on interactive governor. Let me know how that works out. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] crapula512:
The only reasonable option you have is asking Franco to also create a CM flavour of his kernel. I don't think he is going to do it any time soon, but given that you are a paying customer you might give it a try. :)

In the meantime, my advice is to go for Chaos kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mariborcan:
i've set input_boost_freq to 1 000 000 and it seems better not really sure if as stock can't try it out now but definitely better :)

Well as the input_boost_freq to 1 000 000 is better so ok now :).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Do not change the input boost frequency. Leave it. What you need to do is go into FKU app & setup a per app mode for games. Give it a max of about 1267. This will allow your phone not to create so much heat. Less heat = less thermal throttle. Less thermal throttle = better gaming. Try that & see how it works. You might have to tweak a few other settings in the PAM.

There was a CAF patch somewhere that allowed you to use this kernel with CM - try looking into that
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] salomaoa:
Hello all

Sorry if this is OT but I'm really not sure if the problem I'm describing is completelly kernel unrelated. Also I believe most of you have a deeper android OS knowledge and could help me understand and solve this.

Today, for the first time since I have a N5 (beginning of 2014) I had severe battery drainage. In a couple of hours (from 09AM to 15PM) my battery came from 100 to 50% almost without usage (10 minutes SOT).

It seems the responsible for this absurd drainage is a kernel wakelock called bam_dmux_wakelock

I googled it and it seems to be 3G related, so I got stuck on this! Why is this wakelock coming now? I never had it and I use 3G every day. Some days I use 3G all day long and I never had battery drainage.

How can I stop or solve this? Well, of course it will stop if I turn 3G data off, but that can't be the solution. I allways used it before with no problems and still need tu use it.

Any ideas??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Thought it was more of a de-caf patch...

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

It's not kernel related, and there's really nothing you can do about that one... Other than turning mobile data off...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] salomaoa:
I can't understand why this is happening now and never happened before. Yesterday I had mobile data on all day long with no battery drainage. Didn't install any new app too...

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
It has nothing to do with your phone (unless the radio is dying) , apps, kernel, Rom and the like... That's a wake lock that is almost completely controlled by your service provider. It's basically your network and phone confirming that the other still exists....

My guess is that your provider is going through upgrades/updates and that's fscking around with the network quality your phone is receiving right now.... It should clear up in a couple days...

I can usually tell when my provider and see putting up a new tower, or upgrading an existing tower near me... By watching that wake lock....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aavvaallooss:
Can you attach a screenshot of Mobile networking signal (Settings-Battery, press con graphic, please?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
No worries... Curious about the signal quality though... That's independent of this wakelock... You can have solid green signal bar and still have a heavy drain due to that wake lock.. :P

Hi guys, I am sorry if this was asked before. I am on latest r48-test 4 with Ondemand as governor (the only thing I did beside using a color profile). All other settings are stock.

I am using the train for driving to work every day. During display off I have noticed audio hick ups when playing mp3. It seems, that the hick ups are occurring, when the phone jumps to another mobile cell. Is there a way to prevent those hick ups?

Thank you guys, and thank you franco for this great kernel. It gives me awesome battery and performance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Not really... But the gingerbread man has found some success using the next freq step above 300 as his min when playing music... Others report success with v4a audio stack. (while others claim it doesn't help)... If you're using a player with a variable buffer, you could try increasing the buffer size and see you for that helps...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TR2N:
Thank you for your answer. I am using PowerAmp. But why does it work on stock kernel? Can you explain?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Because Franco uses a different system to scale frequencies and deal with CPU load...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TR2N:
Thanks again. PowerAmp does not have buffer settings. Is it better to set min freq to 345 in general or using a Pam for PowerAmp?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Pam would only work while power amp is in the foreground... Raising the default to 345 will cost a bit of battery, but probably not more than 5-10 minutes of screen on time...

This option would be to go into flu and manually raise the freq for your train ride and then turn it back down upon arrival...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Yeah, it does: check under Settings → Audio → Advanced Tweaks → Audio Buffer Size ;)

Don't know if that'll help though, try it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] woowhee:
