Does Franco kernel work with the ART runtime?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sordna:
Only people that changed their DPI (or did other changes to their build.prop) need to revert build.prop ... FK does not change your build.prop

However, FK does rename 2 system files that you should rename back to their stock names right before applying the OTA. Search /system for files named *bak

To get the OTA notification itself, you need to be patient. I haven't gotten it either. It could take another week or two (or more) because Google is rolling updates very gradually. I suspect that most people that are on 4.4.3 already, downloaded the system image or OTA .zip manually.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] site1ca:
Thank you very much! These system files (and their ilk) is exactly what I was after... Greatly appreciate it.

Thanks also to tigger360 for your help. Good to know that flashing system.img doesn't wipe the phone.

Check the FAQ linked in the op, it has directions to prepare for an OTA update....

Keep in mind though, that depending on how many tweaks you've made to your system, it might just be easier to flash the new 4.4.3 image from Google, clean flash and start over...

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Nah, both are simple and quick, a third option is the app flashify from the play store, it's also simple and quick...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TrenchKato:
Ahh. For some reason the no custom recovery raise the flag and I missed the FKU part. It will be fine. FKU uses fastboot (I'm thinking).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Why would you need a custom recovery? Except to root the phone via zip? Fastboot flashing doesn't need root, fku might, but the kernel itself shouldn't....

Two questions: I have updated my N5 to 4.4.3 all stock. Go easy pls. I'm a new to Nexus.

1. Can I use Franco's kernel and stay stock? Also I assume I need to unlock the BL and Root.

2. If I want to revert back to the stock kernel, how do I go about it?

Thanks peeps!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lesp4ul:
1. Yes, unlock > root > flash custom recovery > flash FK OR use Franco Kernel Updater app to flash the kernel.

2. OP, go to kernel download link, there's a stock kernel in the folder.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Welcome to Nexus... May I suggest you check out the FAQ linked in the first post of this thread?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] android4temo:
Thanks. Would there happen to be a .zip for the stock kernel? I prefer flashing zips instead of IMG files.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Why? IMG files are easier....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] galakanokis:
Use Flahify or even FKU to flash the .img files. It's easy peasy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
To flash FK you don't need root or custom recovery, you only need to download the boot.img from the server and fastboot it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tuncan:
With R53 my phone again have problems with brightness. For example - when I receive phone call (and phone screen was off) it takes a lot of time to get right brightness. This behavior (issue) was there before, but I don't remember what FrancoKernel versions was "contaminated". It simply disappeared ... now it is here again.

Any idea or someone else with this?

I like how many people post "New test kernel running great" as soon as a new test build is up, when there was in fact an error with the latest one. Makes me wonder how many people are really trying the new test kernels and how many are just saying it because 'its the cool thing to do".

I have FKU installed and now on 4.4.3 it says there's no kernel version compatible with my phone. What's up?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
No idea, running stock ROM? Any additional tunes, tweaks, or mods?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slider112:
Quick question gang:

First, details - Rooted, TWRP, running stock 4.4.2 w/ Franco kernel, no other mods at all.

Just got my 4.4.3 ota update notice and it caught me a bit by surprise. With running a custom recovery and custom kernel, I didn't think an ota would try to push through, but sure enough, there it is. Anyway, I was hoping to verify some things that I believe to be true before proceeding:

1) The OTA won't download and update properly as is, because I'm on a custom recovery and custom kernel.

2) Even if I reverted to stock kernel, the OTA wouldn't work because I'm still running TWRP.

3) Easiest way to update to 4.4.3 is to either a) wipe everything and flash the 4.4.3 image file directly from Google or b) wipe everything and flash a 4.4.3 ota zip file, vomer's specifically, through TWRP, as I would any other rom. Followed immediately by flashing SuperSU, then back to R53.

Correct thinking? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Most of these postings come 10 minutes after the kernel is there. No other words needed :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
As stated about ten posts before yours, the easiest way is to extract system.img and boot.img and fastboot them.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
You could download your current stock image from Google, dirty flash it over your current, reflash the stock recovery, then accept the OTA... Or dirty flash the zip vomer linked (think it should work, or so vomer claimed :P ) ...

But otherwise, yes, correct thinking..

Personally, I'd recommend downloading the 4.4.3 image from Google, and clean flash it... Always nice to start a new Android version with a clean base. Don't forget to back up any tasker profiles you use, and other data you want to keep.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
I agree. This thread that Vomer made was simple and straight forward. Its what I did to get off of Cataclysm and just run stock 4.4.3

Plus you cant really beat the awesome support that Vomer gives.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Well, I don't think he was asking specifically for the easiest way, I think he was just checking his options... ;)

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------

./flash-all.sh

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

In that case, grab the image from Google and flash away. ;) don't forget to verify the checksums before flashing
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slider112:
I've read every post in this thread for the last 6 months, including the one ten proir. Wasn't looking for easy necessarily, just verifying my options.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I make a point of keeping the latest Google Android image on my network for when my phone starts glitching, re-clean-flash usually fixes any issue I've had.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
In that case, you already listed your options in point #3. Id have to go with option B as vomer provides everything you need and that step dosent include having to flash TWRP again. Just the 4.4.3 update, then SuperSU, then franco kernel (you can do that last part after you boot up and install FKU too).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slider112:
I did; and it's good to have those options in #3 verified. Same with verifying in the first two points that an OTA would fail w/ custom recovery and custom kernel. Sounds like either way I go to get 4.4.3 will work just fine. Thanks for speaking to vomer's zip Red5, appreciate it :good:

Solid practice. Gonna start doing that as well, thanks Tz. :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slater_g:
Aftern some usage (usually 5 to 7 days) the phone starts to get gradually slower. Most notably, the screen-on (wake) times are much slower. Reboot fixes this.

When the phone does some computing in the background (rendering a photophere for example), the wake times are getting really bad; around 3 to 5 seconds. Sometimes the screen does not wake at all. I have to let the phone finish the task at hand first. This also happens directly after a fresh boot.

r52 and before, not testet r53 yet.

Anyone experiencing this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
sounds like a slow memory leak.

What other tweaks, tunes, and mods do you have? any xposed or other system edits?

I personally haven't experienced this, probably because It's rare I go that long between reboots (I'm usually on latest testing to keep an eye out for major glitches)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slater_g:
Thanks for the help!

It's standard Paranoid Android (+Gapps) without any configuration or system tweaks but running on ART. I have the official franco.kernel app but only changed the color profole, reduced vibrator strength and disabled logcat; all other options are defaults.

My only other root apps are AdAway, Titanium Backup and PNF (Push Notification Fixer).

EDIT: by the way: I had the same behaviour last year on my N4, also with franco, running on Jelly Bean and Cyanogenmod.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Okay, I'm running ART as well, I would suggest disabling AdAway for a bit and see if that helps any (I've noticed that various ad blockers have been known to cause "unrelated" issues), and possibly pnf too...

fku's probably not the cause, franco's usually pretty good with his code.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slater_g:
I'll try, but I think that will not help:

- AdAway only modifies the Android-internal .hosts-file. And it only does this when I actually start the app. So there should be almost no impact.

- The PNF app only modifies two system internal heartbeat values (once).

Also, as I edited in my fist post, this also happend last year on N4 with franco and CM (Jellybean) and at that point I am sure I wasn't using Adaway and PNF.

I suspect the kernel since I have another N5 (totally stock) that behaves just fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
I believe that it was AdAway that was causing some music mishaps too. You would be surprised what an app can disrupt.

Its worth a try.

Has anyone found the solution to r53 not enabling fast charge? I didn't have a problem with fast charging with r52. I'm only getting ~300mA charging with fast charge enabled, which is the same rate as it is disabled. I can still access the device through MTP with fast charge enabled, which shouldn't be possible with fast charge.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
renamed, not deleted...

go back to the first post in this thread, check out the faq, and follow the directions listed there for returning to stock/preparing for ota

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

two things,

first fast charge only works on some usb ports, the port has to be able to provide more than the 500mV that is spec for usb2 and below, (usb3 is a 750 I think...)

Now, I know that you're counter agrument will be that you're not reading 500mV, but that's because the device is making use of the power to operate and shunting the surfeit to charging the battery...

secondly, the current implementation of fast charge allows for the device to transfer data while fast charge is enabled...

check out the faq linked on the first post regarging fast charging...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
You will need to do the following using a file manager:

Rename /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so.bak to /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so

Rename /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh-bak to /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh

Once the files have been renamed, you should be able to flash the stock kernel.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dbolot1:
I am having the same issue... Whether the fast charging on or off, the current that I'm seeing is the same...prior to update to 4.4.3 I was seeing 1000mA+ after the update the most that I get is 400mA, that being off of the same USB port using the same USB cable. I am not by any means an expert, but I think something has changed from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
As I recall the boot Cycle the cpu it locked to max, it isn't until android boots that the frequency starts scaling, and not until after the fku toast that the fku settings take effect...

I just recieved the OTA for 4.4.3 and was wonder how can install it without wiping anything. What files do I need to rename and change back after the OTA? I just have a FK custom kernel and recovery and Xposed nothing else.

Franco are you gonna implement an option in FKU for allowing OTA's like you had prior?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
check the op faq link for preparing for ota...

you'll need to flash the stock kernel, stock recovery, remove xposed, rename a couple files, etc, etc, etc....
