Might be a stupid question but, I see version 66 is out however I still have version 63 and it never updates higher...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sfleury:
So you want all the changes documented, and you want what didn't change documented as well.

You have a lot of demands for a user of something that is explicitly use at your own risk, no warranty provided.

But a word of advice, maybe if you offered to help rather than just rant you'd get more satisfaction.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] galakanokis:
Fair enough, there is not much info on L right now but I wouldn't move between roms or kernels on a preview image without wiping so the whole point is moot to me.

If you originally stated what you just wrote I think you might have gotten a better response. Wasn't clear to me you were specifically asking about the L kernel especially after people linked the fax. You seemed to make no recognization that the Franco kernel on KitKat has always modified system files.

So, the question has been asked. Is the L preview kernel for the N5 changing system files similar to what the 1+1 kernel or the kitkat kernel on the N5 do? I guess the real question is, Francisco, did you implement your own thermal throttle into the L kernel?

Cheers bro, can't see this on the OP. Any ideas n when 5.0 final is out? Next few days or something yeah?

Will the OTA wipe the phone since it's a big upgrade? I know this would be coming later.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SpasilliumNexus:
I have no idea at all. Hopefully sooner than later.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't understand the hostility, but I'll bite.

As stated in the OP if you don't have the .bak files then your /system is intact. On L I added a script to change the files but for some reason the script ain't running.

What's the point in being "continually frustrated"?

How should we know? We don't work at Google. You'll know soon enough.

Could you add the 5.0 branch to the Changelog? Maybe something like

Lollipop 5.0 (starting with r65)

http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus5/5.0/appfiles/changelog.xml

KitKat 4.4 (last release r63)

http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus5/4.4/appfiles/changelog.xml

Just as an idea...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Expect a r67 later today after my GF releases me, pushed some fixes for my Hotplug driver and GPU patches to improve responsiveness [MENTION=4166799]github[/MENTION].

There's no point in showing KitKat stuff anymore, I'll change the links to the new branches.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SedyBenoitPeace:
Sorry for stupid question.. But will the r66 or the next r67 work with aosp based rom that are directly compiled from the new sources? I think not because there are changes respect the developer preview.. Right? Again sorry for stupid question :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I said last page or something, Google did not push anything new since the latest Developer Preview.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blackt5:
All this talk about system file changes made me want to check.

System/lib/hw/power.msm.7984.so has not been changed to system/lib/hs/power.msm.7984.so.bak

System/bin/thermal.engine.hh does not even exist

What gives? Im going to manually change power.msm to .bak and see if that fixes anything.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
So.. Fk works all all those "modded" L roms out there? Or is it just for the dev preview?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SedyBenoitPeace:
The official support is for the Developer Preview...but you can install the kernel also on custom rom that are based on the developer preview but you need to make some changes on the rom if you want that the kernel works fine (like for example changing the SELinux policy), the Android 5.0 roms that are directly compiled from the latest sources are not compatible because Google didn't release yet the source code of the new (and final) kernel for Lollipop
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
Thanks. Guess I'll just hold off until the final release.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CrashOverride1995:
I have flashed FK on the ROMs compiled directly from the latest source and it works fine.

No problem at all.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
But did you read what I wrote? In the OP it says "if you don't have the files don't worry about it"...

It saddens me because I give the effort of adding info and you post this...

I already answered that.

With FKU beta yes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sordna:
OP looks great to me, thanks for updating it, it's exactly what was needed, a simple yet clear reference to the renamed files. No flashable zips, no spoon feeding of shell / mount commands. Just the pure essential info.

THANKS and looking forward to the same in the N4 thread ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] There is an error in the OP.

Quote: " 2 - Rename /system/lib/hw/power.msm8794.so.bak to /system/lib/hw/power.msm8794.so "

there is no msm8794, the correct number is 8974 :) Unless Qualcomm made some new Snapdragon chipset just for your phone, then it's correct :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You're right, good eye.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Luigi_2:
Basically apart from the new official binaries, nexus 5 custom rom community is good to go.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It would be great if everybody just waited for the official images - I know what's going to happen, people are going to flash AOSP, then flash FK, then they'll have problems, and they'll say that it's FK fault, they then'll forget that the Kernel tree is unfinished and Google's still working on it until the Images are released, so there might be bugs in the current DP2 state.

The usual :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tyraelasd:
A sligtly noob question...

Just downloaded the beta version on my N10, but the questio for the app really not the device. and I can see that most optiones are disabled ( I know all they are being worked out ). Now, where I can find the old franco app where I guess most the options will work? Thanks !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] russlowe73:
Opt out of the beta test, uninstall fku, reboot then download regular fku from play store.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tyraelasd:
That's what I actually thought, but I can't find how to stop being a tester... I has to be somewhere buried in google play options..

It seems that I need a link to get to the "beta" page of franco kernel and then leave..

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ben_pyett:
Now i know we're all frustrated that L hasn't been released as yet, but it's rather disappointing that during this period of quiet time people have decided to pick holes in Franco's product and criticise, whilst constructive comment isn't bad, some of what I've read hasn't added any value (IMO) .

It's not like FK has suddenly changed overnight.

Anyone who's been around for a while, or who's ever run FK before should know about the additional actions that FK takes as they've probably been documented over a hundred times throughout this thread alone, not to mention the same again for the N4 thread (which is when I joined the party).

At least this period has now ensured that the entire reversal process is better documented and OP has been neatened up which is ultimately only a good thing and will hopefully reduce further unintended/partially informed mistakes and I hope that we can now put this issue to bed once and for all and move forward positively.

Note

For the record v64 was the last kernel built for KK but was only released as a test build.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ryrynz:
I like how I ask a genuine question and get a smart ass reply but the nubs asking why r66 isn't coming down on their kitkat devices get straight up polite replies. [emoji14]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] simonarturo:
Question for you then, did you really expect Franco to have a realistic answer to "when will 5.0 release"?

As I told somebody in another thread: trusty sources claim it will be released on November 31st
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
And I'd say that date of the 31st from your 'trusty sources' is pulled straight from your nether regions.

The general consensus is that the 12th will be the likely release date, but again that is pure speculation, absolutely nobody knows when the hell it will actually release.

Sent from my Android 5.0 Lollipop + ElementalX powered Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It's not a smart-ass reply, it's the truth.

1 - Nobody knows

2 - Nobody here works at Google

3 - Even if we worked we wouldn't share the date for obvious reasons

4 - We'll know soon enough

I don't see anything wrong about my reply :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] simonarturo:
Step 1: look up November 31 on a calendar.

Step 2: understand the concept of "irony"

Step 3: facepalm yourself

Oh, and there's a new, cheaper Nexus phone coming on February 29th, 2015!

Same source :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
Hence why I said that date was pulled straight from your nether regions.

Sent from my Android 5.0 Lollipop + ElementalX powered Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ryrynz:
It was directed at anyone who could answer it as most questions in forums are.

I read it was supposed to be on the 4th.. But anyway you provided the realistic answer.

Question for you then, does it matter who the individual is that answers? If you know you answer you can reply if you don't you do not.. That's generally how it works. And if that answer is nobody knows then that's fine I don't need to be chided with the ifs and whys in a manner that would usually be reserved for someone not reading the OP. [emoji14]

A simple "nobody here really knows" would've sufficed really, your answer was a little over the top, I don't know who knows what, but I do have a good understanding of how software development works having worked with computers for over twenty years. I don't need to be told common sense in a way that makes it sound like my question was stupid to ask.

That's really the style of answer I was looking for, cheers.

I had to change selinux to permissive for it to auto flash so it is probably the enhanced security causing issues.

When I tried that app on stock ROM it did not work because Google did get rid app ops or they call it something else now ... But it dose work on cataclysm which is based off stock ROM with added features ,so maybe the app devs found it hidden within 4.4. But it is working on cataclysm ROM so I don't see y it wouldn't work completely stock

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] halfez:
Hi guys, I am completely new to flashing kernels so please go easy on me.

I want to flash this kernel because I have been reading a lot of good reviews and I want to increase my battery life of my nexus 5. I have been reading through this forum, but I was wondering if someone could give me some pointers, tips and anything to be aware of when it comes to flashing Franco Kernel.

I am planning to use the nexus toolkit (by Mark Skippen) to unlock, root, flash a custom recovery (CWM Touch) and flash busybox(not sure what this does) to root my phone. After, I would flash the latest version of the Franco Kernel and hope everything works well.

Is this that simple or am i missing something?

Also, (probably a dumb question) will this work on stock android (4.4) ?

If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

Device - Nexus 5

Rom - Stock

Kernel - Stock
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Exel:
Yes, it is that simple, although it's not busybox you use to root your phone but I'm sure the Toolkits have a root option.

And yes, this should work well on stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] halfez:
Thank you for the quick reply Exel.

btw do you have to wipe your phone every time you flash a new update or its just okay to flash a new version right over the old one (if that makes sense) ?

I am going to give it a try, so wish me luck !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
if battery life is all you care about, r12 is proven for this, give that a shot first, then compare it to r14 if you want.

People are having mixed results with r13 and r14, just so you're aware...

Otherwise, yeah its pretty simple, you never need to wipe anything when flashing kernels :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] squeeish:
For ROMs, if it's just an update (and the developer doesn't recommend it) it's safe to just flash it over. Otherwise you usually do a wipe.

For kernels, I usually just flash them right over.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] halfez:
Thanks ! idk what I would do without the community :)

r67 .. somehow my per app mode does not want to return to normal. It's stuck at the pam max freq even after exiting the app. This has happened 3 times in a row already, but not consecutively. Will monitor further.

steps to reproduce:

1. open app with pam applied (eg 960MHz max)

2. turn off screen

3. turn on screen (app still present in the foreground)

4. return to home screen -- toast shows that pam returned to normal, but max freq according to fku still stays at 960. Needless to say, phone gets choppy
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Why is it always you that have that issue? Anyway its not Kernel related.

I've been testing Per-App Profiles extensively since adding them to FKU Beta and haven't had a single issue yet.

If you get me a reproduceable case its easier for me.

I just removed trickster and let's see what happens. And no, I won't uninstall PAM.

BTW, thanks to your recommendation, I bought tasker couple of months back and I have been having a blast of fun with it, with reducing my battery consumption to half in my normal usage (basically about 1%/hour drain in idle). :good:
