I put my phone down for the night, r16test, at 38% battery. Woke up 7 hrs later at 38%! Good stuff Franco! Everything on, including Location.

This is just moments ago:

This is when I woke up:

it happens to me as well(im on cataclysm too) but i think it's app related and happened to me when i was running everything stock
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I cannot reproduce. If you think you need more juice you can increase input_boost_freq.

That's XDA app that sucks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moh_Jay:
I can agree with xda app sucking

Its exactly that attitude that makes these threads grow 30 pages a day. People just asking the same things over and over again. I took the time to create a FAQ thread so its easier for people to find the answers to comman questions. If you care to do so follow the link in my sig.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daniel84cs:
Thanks Franco your kernel is really spectacular. I am using version 16 and I have an exceptional fluidity with low power consumption as never seen before. Are you a big one.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] and other users.

Are you guys all using stock rom? or a custom rom?

Kinda new with the nexus , just reverted back to the odexed stock rom because if screwed things up :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tyrellcorpnexus:
Franco do you have the commit for r12?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Stock.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
Hi Franco, I got a kernel panic with r15, no UV:

Kernel BUG at c04d5758 [verbose debug info unavailable]

[ 653.022512] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM

Dunno why, thanks for the log, I'll see if I can understand what happened.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tyrellcorpnexus:
Can you show me what the last commit is for r12, I should say
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
No idea, why?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tyrellcorpnexus:
Wanted to have someone build an r12 dt2w since I've had best luck with that revision so far and supposedly that is needed. Oh well, thanks anyways!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] colander:
in my opinion the latest r15 test version has by far the best battery life of all releases.

today I tested r16 and the battery life is about 25 percent worse than it was with the r15 version before the final release.... but I will keep an eye on it how it develops in the next few days
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
That's pretty much impossible seeing that r16 is much more conservative when scaling freqs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Didn't mean to thank you. I pressed the wrong button. Im getting much better battery life on r16 test than I was when I was on r15...

What changes if any have you made to BT? I test at Harman Intl. and noticed on my Nexus 5 more connection drops than usual.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jmartino5920:
Agreed. r16test is very well balanced! Getting even better sleep and idling on this than on r15.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] colander:
maybe it has something to do with my rom or with something running silently in the back.... i will investigate that an report how battery life developed on r16

the only thing that comes to my mind is touch control ( it didn't work under r15 test), but I don't think that this app cost me so much of my battery life
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcusva79:
I know I am thinking on going back to stock. If franco is reporting great specs with it, minus well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
0 changes to BT.

That's placebo, idles as same as every other Kernel as long as you don't have wakelocks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r16:

* Tone down the agressiveness of the new freq calculation on interactive to stay on minimum freq more often than r15

* Merge upstream patches from 3.4.0 to 3.4.71
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sir*mez:
Had a reboot after a reboot at the lock screen; here is the last_kmsg on r16 test: http://pastebin.com/pkAVWMB2

Well, new official kernel out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nyyankees1237:
r16 fixes over aggressive scaling on r15 for me, thanks franco.

I've used r12/13 the most and they've given me great battery life but r15/16 seem smoother. Time to test r16's battery life.

Thanks again.

Hey Franco, wer r ur colorz? Y u reverted to stock?? Lol jk.

Working well so far!

Music Stutter due to Network switching / wifi connect is still there - but like you said this could be a google thing? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jumparound246:
Touch control does cost battery, indeed. You should test without running it and see if it's causing the drain. The 25% percent you mentioned could be caused by tc.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jmartino5920:
You're placebo!

JK! ;)

I just meant that it stayed on 300mhz idle without the spiking seen in r15. But you're right in that it idles like any kernel when wakelocks aren't experienced.

Now I must go...and flash r16! Thanks Franco!

When I try to flash r16 zip file from CWM recovery the installation seems to start but it stops with message "installation aborted"?

No problems with r15 zip file. I try to re-download file and to re-copy it on phone... :confused:

Is it different from the test build?

just got a failed in twrp when trying to flash the r16 zip.. gonna try again to see what it says
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] colander:
I will test that tomorrow and report my results
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
So battery life is indeed a little better on r16 test compared to official r15. Comparing these screen shots which I had similar usage over using tapatalk, a little chrome, light gaming (triominoes) and calls and texting. I tried to get both at around the 50% battery from 100% charge at the start of the day. Both had been tested while on mostly away from WiFi networks while supposed to be at work.

Today's screenies compared to yesterday's (or day before I forgot). We can see the difference in CPU ramping and use of frequencies from system monitor. I'm really pleased to get through days not needing to charge up, the battery does its job even if 2300mah sounds small, shows just how well the kernel is working.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mendozaram:
I was having "Instalation Abort" on CWM... I flashed .IMG thru Fastboot and everything is fine. Try that or use Flashify.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] Something is wrong with ZIP file bro.

but its not a problem

just extract the boot file and flash it in fastboot

Hey guys sorry about that .zip. I started using a VM instead of booting to linux every time I want to do Kernel work so since I had to set up Linux again I may have slipped something on the .zip front. I'll re-upload it fixed in a couple.

Don't do that! its not a good idea to mix ramdisk contents like that, specially since the introduction of SELinux, theres a bunch of policies that are inherent of each device.

Yes.

My free app is not yet compatible with the N5 or even 4.4. Free app is never a priority, paid app and Kernel work comes always first.

Well... what do you think? Updating from 3.4.0 to 3.4.71, like I wrote, sure seems like 71 upstream patch lists on top of 3.4.0...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PhantomGamers:
r16 official is out now, non-test.

No you misunderstand haha, I just brought the format inline, not the files.

The files are 100% hammerhead, I just thought including the mkbootimg binaries was a good idea from mako.

Why don't you just use your beast digitalocean vps to build? :D

i kno benchmarks dont mean much but just ran antutu and quadrant and im getting lower scores 2,000 lower on antutu and 2,000 lower on quadrant.. anyone else getting that? was getting like around 35,000 on antutu now im getting 33,000... and on quradrant i was getting around 20,000 now im getting 17,000

Hi

Is this normal 2h11m kernel wakelock powermanager?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] liperus:
PowerManager wakelocks are all the partial wakelocks, not kernel related

I'm having EntriesRefresh_Wakelock keeping my phone awake for many hours and have not yet figured out what is causing this, maybe it's the same for you?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Powermanager wake lock is all the individual partial wakelocks added together. See the partial tab for more details

Because you want a viable copy of the kernel available if you flash a ROM.

ROM

GAPPS

Franco

SuperSU

???

Profit
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] catpunt:
that's my experience too so far, i've been on r13 for weeks and have had amazing battery life. now running r16 with exactly the same settings i'm seeing slightly higher battery draw. however everything does seems smoother and snappier
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bkai:
derp... didn't even think to do that :P feels like a Monday
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nickmv:
Not sure I'm following what you're getting at here? Are you saying you want to have the stock kernel from whatever ROM youre using just in case you need to flash it back, or what?

I flash the zip files whenever I update to the latest franco kernel, no problems.......til r16.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mbh87:
Make a backup in recovery before flashing a ROM and restore just boot after flashing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nickmv:
This. The restore function is amazingly useful for partial restore situations.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cavolo:
Oh just one question, just to know ...

Why root isn't included in kernel ? I came from Nexus One, and I've never needed to reflash root after each rom update oO

I have updated my rom, flash franco, and in FKU: "blblbl you're not root go away from here dude blblbl", really disappointed :p I have to get the routine of flash root before reboot after update now D:

Oh and of course, this kernel still amazing, I'll try r16 battery life tomorrow ;p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
Or....

Do it all in one session when you flash a ROM. Because you've already got the Franco .zip available in the same directory that you put the ROM, GAPPS and SuperSU.

Really?

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Maybe I'm confused as to why you are confused....

The ROM you download or build has a kernel built in.

If you flash an update to the ROM (or another), the ROM will flash it's kernel over Franco's.

So, while in Recovery (or in the OpenRecovery script), you flash all the files at once. ROM (wipes all kinds of stuff), GAPPS (puts the Google apps back onto your device so you can access Play Store), kernel (because you prefer Franco's) and SuperSU (totally optional, but I've had better luck with his than Koush's open source ROM built-in version).

Upon reboot, everything's there. Done. No more reboots. No need to nandroid before a minor ROM update. Still got the latest ROM, Franco and SuperSU to start your day.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
As someone turned me on to Flashify this morning, the app will backup your current kernel (boot.img), save it for an easy restore and then flash the new kernel without jumping through any hoops. A reboot and you're done. All while waiting for the light to change.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
I don't care about benchmarks either, but I had the opposite experience with my phone. On r15, my phone barely hit 32,000, and today on r16 my phone hit 34,300 which is the highest it has ever been for me. I don't put a lot of stock in that app though, I just know that the phone my phone flies with this kernel and battery life is great too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
However, if you are flashing a different ROM, you are already going through a reboot. And all flashing is done through .zips. So it's good to have a kernel .zip handy.

Booting to system and then rebooting the kernel is actually an additional hoop.

Anyhow, it's my preference. I'm a little surprised that more flashers aren't doing this, but everyone has choices. It's Android, after all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] journeyman73:
I've always done this as well but lately since running Cataclysm & the way he does his incremental updates I haven't being doing it as much

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bartolinio:
as I understand correctly it v16.zip is corrupted?

[MENTION=470754]Franco[/MENTION] can You upload correct version?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dark_ente:
I have the same problem

there's no information in partial wakelock so I can't figure out what causes those wakelock

revert back to stock and the wakelock is gone

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] maybe kernel related?

My rom is Slimkat
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Been wondering the same myself... I am pretty sure its the same build but just "Official" Release status since the orig r16 build was just to test and what not. I am sure if there was any changes he would let us know but I think its the same. Hope this helps and I am loving the r16 Test version.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mbh87:
Or....

Just deal with it. Really.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I think he said they are different
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
Hey Franco! Loving r16 for real. Much better than r15 in terms of idling. And performance is the same. I was at work and I was thinking about your kernel. And I was wondering if you've ever thought about doing this:

So currently your hotplug works like this (right?):

Core 1: always on

Core 2: always on

Core 3: comes on as needed and then turns off

Core 4: comes on as needed and then turns off

What if it went like this:

Core 1: always on

Core 2: always on

Core 3 + 4: both come when on when needed.

Wouldn't this have a similar effect to how you have both 1 n 2 always on? Cause this way 3 n 4 don't have to individually turn on/off. And since both cores would be coming on maybe the frequencies of 3 n 4 could be lowered a bit to balance the 2 cores coming on at once.

This is what I was thinking about at work, look what you've done to me. Brain washed me with your kernels.

BTW I am in no way a developer or anything of that sort. So please don't flame me :eek:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Most likely ROM issue not kernel . root is included in ROM ... make sure it includes root .... If there using koushes SU that's probably your issues right there get rid of that fantastic app and use chainfires supersu .
