I know this has been mentioned before but benchmarks (quadrant/antutu) mean nothing comparing two different devices because not all devices are created equally. Two n5's from teh same batch can have wildly different performance on these "benchmarks". The real only use for benchmarks is comparing changes with a particular device, EG. is your device performing better or worse than it was before. But even then there are few benchmarks that do any appreciable job analyzing your device and some rom/kernel devs (not Franco) code their material in such a way as to trick the benchmark program and yet perform on a day to day basis worse.

Personally i have never been able to get consistent results with antutu or quadrant. The only app that I've used that gives me very consistent results provided same thermal conditions is the 3dMark benchmark application. Its one of the best for PC and is fairly reliable (atleast for me) when testing my devices.

bottom line dont worry so much about high your bench mark score is or if its low, worry mostly about your user experience and if you must use the benchmarking apps try not to compare to other devices but use it as an indicator of the function of your individual device against its self with different kernel/rom/settings set ups.

Any plan to fix the non-working fast charge? no kernel out there has it working.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Januka:
I agree to what you say, by the way i never use benchmarks, just did it cause i saw that results. But it sounds strange a huge difference like that, even if 2 devices are not comparable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DerItaliener:
Without knowing anything I guess wildly that he has the dalvik & bionic fix from moto X installed and his min/max freq locked to 2,3 GHz, whereas you have not.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Not necessarily true, I'm running Slimkat and just ran the benchmark with stock Franco settings + UV and got 33k, no per app stuff
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DerItaliener:
Yes, Indeed. There is a vast amount of possible factors involved, like thermal throttle etc. But without any further information I thought this could be the best guess =)

i recommended buy FKU app:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shreddintyres:
I can certainly understand and appreciate why it would seem so odd especially when benchmarks are widely accepted in use for PC performance, so it would logically follow that it should also be valid for mobile devices.

Consider this, in the manufacturing process of a CPU companies like intel and AMD only create a select number of chips for a very lmitied market yes there are a ton of different brands and models etc of computers but the CPU's are by far and large the same. Specifically talking about AMD processors a few generations ago it was considered cutting edge for 45nm transistor design, but now the standard is shifting more towards and below 32nm. To put that in perspective we are talking a difference of 13 per 1 billion meters. Now we can consider the materilas that processors are mostly made of (predominant component) Silicon. When we are discussing such minute and precise measurements simply variations in humidity, temperature and even Air composition (increase decrease of Nitrogen etc) can easily alter these distances appreciably at this scale (we wont discuss the calculations as that is a bit beyond what we need to understand).

Now even then with the incredibly highly controlled and highl QC that intel and AMD processors go through you often will find two of the same processor and model/design which perform differently one may over clock from 3.6 to 4.0 the other may not even be stable at 3.6. Now lets change our focus and look at mobile processors. I think we can all agree that the rates of mobile processor production are much much much higher than those for PC's, with additionally much greater variation, then add onto that the less rigorous and less standardzed quality control standards. See Qualcomm as of right now is more or less the only company worth mentioning making Mobile processors, as such they really dont have any competition and consistency verus pumping out new chipsets for the next leading flagship device from Moto, HTC, Sony, Apple, LG and others. Samsung is one of the only companies of the group that has its own processor line that it focuses on for its devices and produces in house, but even then exynos chips are not nearly as well documented (sadly) as most qualcomm chips nor as they as cheap. But in any case the point im trying to highlight is that there is a high likely hood for variations in mobile processors due to: poor QC, poor environmental control during production, etc.

Hopefully this helps to clear some things up :) its by no means as simple as ive stated as there is soo much more involved in this.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Batfink33:
Some companies throw Cpus away that aren't up to standard in the manufacturing process I understand.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shreddintyres:
This is true however often times in order to protect the bottom line manufacturers will do something called "binning" where they take the proper chips and sell them as such then teh defective they reduce tolerances limiting them to lower frequency or disabling cores and selling them as a separate processor. This is in large part the difference between AMD xx50 and xx70 graphics cards, not to mention this is extremely common with defining the "black" edition cpus which are "higher performing and more stable for OC" than other chips of the same design. This was also how back ... iono how many years ago AMD and intel marketed poor functioning quadcore chips as tri core inorder to prevent losing money due to lossy manufacturing processes. (this is a horribly simplified explanatino which i am certain is missing quite a bit of detail. please look up CPU binning for much more thorough explanations)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bradputt:
It's not working? No wonder I don't feel the difference if I turn off or on.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tsubus:
nope, not working (for any kernel, not just franco)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ConMcCRay:
You all seem like the smartest people to ask right now, but when Paranoid android releases, is that ROM CM based or AOSP, I wanna flash this kernel with it :D

How did r15 hold out through the night? U said u were letting it run for the whole night, curious ;) as I'm still on r14.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Getting excellent battery today, mostly tapatalk and a bit of chrome and triominoes. No WiFi at work so relied on data and some of the time I was switching to 2g as signal wasn't great. Home now so got wifi on. I have turned off Google now, location reporting and history and location mode set to battery saving, WiFi always scanning off and WiFi optimisation turned on. My biggest wake lock is from my proximity sensor while I made some calls.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It was awesome, 1% drop over 9 hours, I'm fine with that. Just wanted to make sure a couple changes I did were working fine. Time to upload r15! :)

Very nice, ui feels smoother and doesn't lag in tapatalk.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Ah thank you. I was using the app. Still says latest is r14. Flashing right meow
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikolkang:
Nice! It's beautiful! Thanks Franco I'd buy your app a second time if only the play store would allow it. :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Don't give the man ideas. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Official r15 is up:

* Major performance improvements across the board, which include a lot of algorithm improvements on my GPU governor, on my Hotplug driver and on Interactive governor. Changes will improve your gaming experience while maintaining the already great battery/performance balance ratio

* Gamma interface by the developer myfluxi have been added. In the mean time you can download faux's free app app to mess with Gamma colors. I'll add an interface to my apps as soon as possible

* Reverted to stock Gamma values since we can now change the display gamma on the fly

In case someone asks this r15 is different from the latest r15-test I pushed before.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
No! What happened to the custom colour ;) how can I change the colour back? You have to change the value in a file right? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Its not possible anymore to change the value I changed before. Faux has a pretty good explanation why one should not mess with that command so for the lack of better insight I'll follow his gut.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jrn2k:
R15 :D will report back!

What ROM are you using Franco if i may ask?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rxmxsh:
Wow. I mean really wow. Read his post above yours again. You have to get Faux's app for now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcusva79:
Agree with this guy Franco. Went ahead and wipe everything and started from scratch. Will report in a couple of days. What gamma settings do your prefer Franco?:silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MikeLibbey:
flashed r15 coming from r15 through FKU and im getting random reboots every couple of minutes just FYI and FC's on some apps

I miss the color tweak but I kinda like how my N5 and N7 have consistency now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
That was the first time that I auto flashed through FKU. So awesome.

Also Franco, just wanted to let you know that r7 kernel you put out for the Nexus 7 makes a HUGE difference in performance. The nexus 5 is already blazing fast, so I mostly noticed the battery improvements on your earlier kernels, but that Nexus 7 feels like a different machine with your kernel on kit kat. Thanks for your work.

Red- (0, 100, 117)

Green+ (60, 100, 150)

Green- (60, 110, 124)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d.kozzer:
I feel like I'm partially colorblind because I can't tell the difference between r14, which I had installed up until a half hour ago, and r15. Maybe it's just too low on my radar to notice. Either way screen looks amaze-tastic to me, just like it has since I first fired it up.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] oediv:
thanks for the update :)

one question

you reset the colours to stock, maybe you can tell us the colours you used in r14 ?

dont know if there is a big different now but it would be great :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeppacher:
Was this adjusted in the latest r15-official? Just sitting in system monitor doing nothing with no apps running in the background I only sit at 300 for the briefest of a second and it ramps to 1.2 and 800 mainly on both cores. Also are all 4 cores supposed to turn on during screen on as part of the boost wake or is this not supposed to happen?

Great work on this kernel, I have never followed a thread so closely. I saw some disappointment with paypal a couple pages back, I would like to buy you a coffee/beer, is paypal still your recommended method of donation?

No - I wrote in the changelog that it does because I'm drunk.

I already explained that, its not possible to achieve the same whiteish/bluish tint anymore unless you recompile my Kernel.

Yes, I address that on r15! Paypal works again too ;)

No offense intended, but fúcking read before posting, its really annoying.

Finally the wait is over after reading for a week to the official release of r15. This my first flash of kernal on the device all went smooth on stock.

Thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] for lot patience for this release, initial feedback is nice so far coming from stock it feels more responsive overall. Waiting for it to settle down well and let you know more about my experience with r15 in few days. going to run the kernel default settings.

Thanks ☺

Soon planning to buy your app too, waiting for pa!?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I'm unable to modify the settings in FKU on r15. I've wiped the app's data/cache, and even wiped the cache in recovery. It doesn't recognize any modifications that I make within the application (or so it seems).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrGriffdude:
Doesn't seem to be effecting me
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I'll fix perms and see if that helps.

EDIT: It appears that my root went kaput for some odd reason when I flashed r15. All is good now!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] javacody:
Max Frequency is not sticking on restart for some reason. Tried resetting FKU. Didn't help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Triversity:
With r15 it doesn´t sit on 300Mhz while idle anymore. When there is the slightest CPU usage (like 3%) it already ramps up the frequency.

On the last r15test it stayed on 300Mhz.

Is it supposed to be that way?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] finesse:
Thanks for the update, however, I've not updated to r15 because of the return to stock colours. I am still using r13, and the colours are fantastic!

Since the screen colours app is still in testing, I am not willing to try....yet
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcusva79:
Franco is recommending it. You can do the colour settings with an app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tyrellcorpnexus:
For me the problem is finding settings that match r14 in color pop and whiteness.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Calm down about the colors, peeps... The changes are not too dramatic. Either I'm blind or people are exaggeration because I only see the whites beeing a bit more grey atm. Thats all.

So no complaints from my side [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]. Thanks for your work!
