Is it only with Franco? does the dev know of the issue? I have never had it running elemental for last 5 months. I would hate to leave franco though. The battery life is so good.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yorici:
Yes no changes at all I think. I can't check as I would need to flash a custom kernel, but I think it's unlikely they would change it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
it is an issue with the Franco Kernel. He's aware of it and has been trying to revert commits to figure out what is causing it. It's been this way for about a month or two
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Color control re-code is still not finished, app is still in Beta.

No.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
Well, I've had this phone for 2 months, and I have not used other kernels, because I find them inferior (tried elementalX and a couple of others but they didn't last more than a day on my phone). This happened for the second time for me so I can't say really. Not sure it is kernel related at all. looks more like an app problem to me.

My advice is if you, like me, find this to be the best kernel for this phone, having an SoD once a month per say, is a small price to pay for this. And as I said, what I got looked more like an app problem, kernel had nothing to do with it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] applesuckz:
I wish it was once or twice a month. It happens everyday and happened twice today. I use wakelock and close all apps i do not use. I barely have any background services running. Plus its the same apps i always ran. I really want to stick with Franco simply because of the battery life. But rebooting phone twice a day is also a problem. I will see stick with it a few more days and see if it improves. Hopefully the dev is working on a fix. Could it be the CPU is undervolted too much, which is preventing it from waking up after it goes into deep sleep? just a thought.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Are you undervolting? If you are then that's probably the problem right there.... Stop the undervolt and see what happens.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
Well, yes! It can be the undervolting. Here are my thoughts - Download the rom you are using, wipe everything (data, cache system, don't wipe internal, your things are there) and do a clean install. Then install the latest franco kernel (test kernel is also good if you know how to get it), and don't touch anything! Don't disable wakelocks, don't disable services, don't kill apps. Let it do it's own thing for a day. See how things go on the second day. I can guarantee you there won't be any problems after that. Just clean install everything and don't disable things.

FYI underclocking doesn't do much for battery life :)

Try everything as I said. If on the second day you have no problems, try -50mV across the board, that's what I run, and another -25mV on 300MHz, just to keep the phone from getting too hot. If you start getting SoD's, just remove UV and be happy. Please write back and report if the issue persist.

EDIT: the frog beat me to it ;)

EDIT2: I highly recommend latest Mahdi ROM (06/01). I don't know what that dev has done, but it's just amazing with franco's goodness. Got 6h of Screen on time today, watching youtube and Twitch streams!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] applesuckz:
LOL no I am not changing the kernel in any way. I am just flashing it and using it as it is. I dont even use the franco kernel manager App. I was just saying the kernel might be too undervolted by default, which is causing this deep sleep problem. It was just a suggestion for the Dev

I dont undervolt. I use it as it is. Is Mahdi really smoother than purity? Purity is buttery smooth. Have you tried both?

Thank you, and everyone else who had something to say about this. I always have my phone connected to the Internet though. Maybe one of this days I'll start my music, screen off on airplane mode. See if I can get 60 hours.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
I have tried Purity (about 1 month usage), SlimRom ( again, 1 month usage), Omni (lasted less than a day, was not happy with it), Stock (about a week on it, best in terms of stability, not much else I can say about it) and Mahdi, and in my humble opinion Mahdi is best, followed closely by Slim, then Purity and finally Stock. But smoothness is just half the story, Mahdi wins, hands down, when it comes to battery life. Purity gets second place here, but I've never gotten more than 5h of SoT with it, and Mahdi gave me 6 today, with a much smoother experience.

My advice - try them all. Flash, use for two days, make a backup, wipe everything and try the next. After a week you'll know what's best for you :) That's what I did. The backups you like, you keep. If you don't like the rom, don't make a backup. Just make sure you have at least one solid backup to go back to if sh*t hits the fan.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] applesuckz:
Thanks buddy. I will take your word for it. Will try Mahdi and see if I like it. meanwhile, still waiting for the SoD fix.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
let me know how that goes :) have a good night (it's almost midnight here)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Iirc, Franco uses stock voltages... But I'd suggest again what was already recommend to you.. Try another re-download of your Rom, verify checksums, clean flash, and leave completely "stock" for a day, then flash Franco, leave for another day and see what happens.... After every tweak, tune, or mod, let it sit for a day before making another change... Only one change per day... See where the issues (if any) restart.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 7ewis:
First day using 4.4.3 with r52 battery results.

Stock ROM, Location Disabled, Brightness on Low and Auto when outside, ART. No Greenify or anything like that.

I am impressed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
Whilst 4.4.3 is the main topic for now, did the whole issue with ram get fixed? Does android let apps run in the background now without killing them unless you have a notification like peek does? Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] californicated:
Some people claim there where no kernel changes in 4.4.3, while others say the update mostly affected the kernel. What's right? Already missing franco on 4.4.3
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
We can't really say what the changes are without the source being released, but... I've had no issues on 4.4.3 with Franco's latest test kernel....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
4.4.3 has a newer kernel, its just lucky the one for 4.4.1 / 4.4.2 boots on the 4.4.3 system. The guys on n7 2013 are having WiFi issues using the older kernel on newer ROM. When the sources are released Franco can merge the newer stuff with his kernel and our experience will be more optimised I'm pretty sure. I wouldn't be surprised if the most changes are kernel related though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
my test of stock kernel seemed to allude to the fact that the headphone audio problem is fixed. Let's see :)

Read 1 page back. Update to 4.4.3. OTA zip is out just sideload it if the update hasn't hit you yet if you're stock. Its super easy and there is no real reason someone with a nexus should be behind on updates IMO. I wouldn't try it on 4.4.2, may not boot.

Since I'm not aware of a thread dedicated to FKU I'll post it here.

Whilst I like the new FKU there are a few things I would like to comment on.

- The lack of radio buttons; typing the name of an I/O scheduler is massively inefficient compared to a pop up with buttons,

also removes the input validation for values for say mic gain.

- The way the tabs across the top, for example per-app modes, shift up whilst closing the drawer, feels very jarring.

- I believe a page which shows all the currently set on boot values would be beneficial, the new system is a big improvement over the old one though.

- The scroll bar should be flush with the edge of the screen

Thanks for your consideration.

good work there! also we should have a how to improve/suggestions on the FKU app? not sure if franco is the type of person that takes suggestions? i'll be safe and say no commentz lolz

anyways, my biggest beef with that current FKU app is that two plane view where u have to swipe away one of the planes. whats up with that lol:confused: why not just make it ONE plane single view?

Seems like your DPI is too high. Change it to <= 480, which is the default.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Using 440 and not having any problems viewing the full version if people are looking for a good dpi to use. Still feel like Google / LG bumped the stock dpi higher than what it needed to be
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dazz87:
Wall charger? Or USB charging with fast charge enable? For me wall charger is about 1% / per minutes. Where, USB charging is much longest, I haven't mess with the setting on Franco app to adjust the value. I had it enable once and it took a while to charge.

Same behavior here.The only way for me to test at max speed was by creating a profile for Stability Test with FKU (with min-max value set to 2.265 Mhz),but after 4 runs it always ended-up with a hard reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
THIS is how mine looks with stock 480 dpi. Nothing is cut off.

What did you do to mess up your phone? :silly: Change the dpi back. Use Build Prop Editor from Google Play. Search for "ro.sf.lcd.density". Change it to 480.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
Franco just a suggestion for FKU, GPU speed should be shown like CPU speed, without 0000 to keep it consistent through the app.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Hey Franco, I just bought your app and I was wondering wether you could implement something like auto flash in terms of, the kernel will be flashed automatically and the phone will be rebooted (SIM PIN might be saved in the app). I guess many people would appreciate it and are flashing new kernel anyways whenever a new one is out.

Also may I ask which ROM you are using or you have an eye on? Are you still on stock Android or could you recommend any ROM to me/us? Currently I'm on Cataclysm and I really like it.

ADB - Sideloaded shouldn't be an issue - kernel is as much a deviation as superuser or methods of hiding superuser access.

You're best to flash the whole fastboot image with the -w flag removed, re-install recovery and the superuser update, reboot, re-install busybox and open up FKU to install r52 or r53 if you have placed it in your FKU backups folder

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LittleJakub:
dear community of fellow forumers,

I've been using franco kernel for quite some time - however recently I've encountered a tiny problem... :(

when I set my voltages to custom values (vomer tweaks), after reboot they get set back to default (even though I have the "keep after reboot" icon selected) - everything according to "instructions".

I have also tried applying the script through both recovery *.zip and manual positioning in /init.d folder with permissions properly changed to 755 - in both cases the kernel still gets the standard, default values and not the desired ones... :crying:

any ideas on how to solve the issue, or ist it a ROM thing (I'm using latest Paranoid Android)?

please help, that's the way I can easily squeeze more battery life out of my N5... ;)

thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] supernova_00:
Here come the trolls to bite your head off. I've been wanting to mention the same thing since I've installed franco kernel on my phone two weeks ago but I've seen everyone else get their heads bitten off for even mentioning this.

No one has really even said a definitive way to check if this is even working either. They'll say check the logcat...OK fine but what am I looking for? They'll say install this app...OK what am I looking for because 800ma isn't fast charging!

I really wish Franco could just display it somewhere that the phone is in fact fast charging on USB! It made so much sense on galaxy Nexis to display it as charging on AC when it in fact was. There was many many many times I thought it was working then but it really wasn't because I forgot to turn off debug or something.

The charge should be able to keep up with slight web browsing when I'm connected to the USB in my truck but it can't. I don't have any other charging/battery usage issues other than that. Great SOT, signal, barely any wakelocks, etc
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Here's a quote from franco:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fredfox_uk:
The simplest tool for monitoring the current is Current Widget For a bit more there's Battery Monitor Widget Both these are easily found on Google Play. I've used both these and they're great for what they do. They all show what rate the battery is charging at in milliAmps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] supernova_00:
Thanks for the information but doesn't that seem a little absurd to you? This means I have to be at home, on my computer, turning settings on and off while waiting for the battery percentages to increase and then I have to manually calculate the time it takes to increase 1% (probably would be better to do a couple percentage points because battery might have been just on the line of the next perfcent) with both fast charge on and off just to see if this setting is actually working. I feel the kernel should do this for you and display that fastcharge is in fact on and working, like it did on the Galaxy Nexus in the Phone status panel of the settings. Could even be displayed in FKU. Just because a setting is enabled doesn't mean it is actually working.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

I tried the current widget and it just jumped all around and didn't make any sense. When it did seem to work it displayed around 800 miliamps which I think is way under what it should be with fast charge enabled. What kind of numbers should we get when plugged in to USB with and without fast charge and also when plugged into a wall socket?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
[MENTION=4470974]supernova_00[/MENTION] it doesn't seem absurd at all to me. If you want something simpler, try some of the many apps and choose to trust them. I don't check it that often to need additional app for that, so these 5 min of my time, using the actual kernel log seem quite fine to me. As for the numbers 800 sounds about right (makes for full charge in <3 hrs, which is what I experience). USB without fast charge is about 4 hrs, which makes around 550 mA
