What does the multirom app say? Does it say the kernel has the kexec patch?

(for that matter, what does a search of this thread say regarding the same?)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fagin:
hello, I installed this kernel (last release for 5.1) few days ago on Cataclysm 5.1 Nexus 5 ROM. everything was ok but today my phone reboots continuously and I don't know why. it boots, i can use it for some minutes then it reboots. Could it be an issue related to franco kernel? I restored cataclysm own kernel now and for now it seems to work properly again. any suggestion? First thing I thought was that I had stucked power button...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pipusz:
I use r75 since its release with Cataclysm and I didn't encounter any kind of problems like you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Yeah the same here, in my case I need to go to recovery and wipe cache, if not, it will enter in a bootloop
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] armando_rod:
This happened to me yesterday also Cata + Franco kernel, though it was the power button but after a power off and clean power on hasn't happened again.

BTW the last kmsg says, it was rebooted normally.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] californicated:
There must be some changes in custom kernels that cause chrome freezes. Stock, code blue and bricked are fine, while franco and EX both have this issue. Even more complicated, not all users experience the freezes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fagin:
you solved the problem wiping both caches?

sorry what do you intend for kmsg? And for "clean power on"?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sivabalan:
does v75 work with CM 12.1 Aosp?

I have tried but getting an Bootloop!!! not working. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] armando_rod:
There is a file in /proc "last_kmsg" that says if it was an error in the kernel in the last reboot.

Clean power I mean when it soft reboot I just power off the phone (from the power menu) and then power it on again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fagin:
I found that file file but can't open it to read inside...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Woody:
Copy it out somewhere and the put .txt at the end of it. Then long-press in your file explorer and open with text reader. The .txt is key
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
You need to wipe cache partition only, no need to wipe dalvik. The problem is that it fixes the issue for some time, because after two days or so I need to do it again
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Eltorito94:
Why this kernel have lag with chrome?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iDragon@list.ru:
init.d running in the 75 version?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gaosphappy:
This has happened to me on cataclysm with code blue too. Cache wipe as above fixed it for now. Can't seem to get it to happen again just now. Any how as I'm on a different kernel I'd say its not that... THAT DOES NOT MEAN I THINK ITS ROM. Am still testing and can't rule out button just yet only feel like its not.

****EDIT**** this could be the issue
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fagin:
sorry but this seems to be a camera related issue, not franco kernel, isn't it?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] denshigomi:
I'm using r75 on a stock rooted Nexus 5. Frequently, when I try to scroll in Chrome, it freezes up for a variable amount of time, sometimes up to 5 seconds. I tried the interactive and performance governors, but the problem persists. When I use the stock kernel this never happens.

Hello,does anyone feel that screen light is a little low on adaptive display?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
So adjust the slider... Adaptive works with the slider, not one or the other as in previous android version...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
Why is it called adaptive display if i have to manually adjust? Maybe i've explained it wrong. I keep the slider to the middle and in low light screen brightness goes to low.Never had this on stock,that is why i'm asking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Rimher:
What would be the stablest ROM to go with this kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Stock Lollipop 5.1 (factory image) :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Try disabling screen dimming in the kernel.

There may be an issue with this feature.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
I'm using it with rastapop. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] denshigomi:
Update: If I expand the notification bar while Chrome is frozen, Chrome immediately becomes responsive again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
Tapping Recents does the same thing and has been my goto for the issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sykomaniac:
I too have this I thought it was a rom/app issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
Chrome issue seems to be related to Franco Kernel. Have tried other kernels including stock & don't see symptoms of chrome freezing, only seems to freeze with r75 :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
Elemental too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lcrponte:
Stock ROM & stock kernel here, my Chrome freezes too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
Euphoria ROM plus CodeBlue kernel absolutely NO CHROME FREEZES ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dox81:
Only difference in code_blue is that the kernel is rebased from scratch from 5.1 sources. I also got freezes in chrome with franco & elementalx. When elementalx was rebased (version 3.0, but taken down after a short while), chrome was ok.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Balino:
Some Users did report it with elementalx 3.0 too. I'm one of them. As somebody said it seems more a chrome bug with ADS. Anyway it's not known why with stock kernel it doesn't happen at all, it's still a strange problem
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kissme99:
Hi guys, I have a problem with a battery life in my N5. Can you tell me how much does this kernel improve it? I want to know should I flash it or not, how much benefits it will give me, and I am too lazy to flash roms/kernels often. I'm on stock android and the only thing that sucks for me is battery life.

Thanks in advance.

So we can all thank CM, again, for whatever ****ed up reason I can't make a single boot.img for both stock and CM based roms, so I'll have to build two. Normally I wouldn't, but my userbase on this device is huge, I can't just ignore it. Users on CM-12.1 or derivatives (if you have to ask, don't flash it) please try the attached boot.img and let me know how it works and if something is broken. Thanks.

[UPDATE] It may related to root, FKupdater does not seem to be getting root ... [/UPDATE]

I'm on the 20150501 Nightly.

FKupdater report r76.

It boots (unlike r75 which bootlooped)

The CPU manager doesn't report current settings (shown hidden below)

The Kernel settings does not seem to retain settings (tried min backlight == 3)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] francescobabbaro:
Hi everyone, I have a very strange problem... I'm trying to undervolt my CPU at its limit: I'm setting the same max and min frequencies, then reducing the voltage on the corresponding frequency until the phone restarts. This seems very easy, but when I lock the frequency (300 MHz min and max for example), I can set the voltage of that frequency at a very low value! I arrive to set it at 600 mV (the limit of the franco kernel app) and the phone works! I do this for the next frequencies (422 MHz and 652 MHz) and I obtain that with 600 mV set in the app it works. The problem come out when I set as max and min frequencies two different ones (for example 300 MHz and 652 MHz), and the phone restarts. My doubt is that the app don't set my voltage for some strange reasons, or I'm wronging something... Can a good man help me, please? Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cloonix:
Works fine on cm-12.1-20150502-NIGHTLY. Don't have issues with FKUpdater (paid) like [MENTION=1763928]MNBooZe[/MENTION].

Will report after a few hours of common usage if needed.

UPDATE: Using SuperSU 2.46
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Way way too low voltages.

Not worth the extra 10 minutes battery you'll get.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Because your phone can handle (maybe) that low voltage at a static freq, but is being starved while trying to switch freqs (higher drain).. Raise the voltages until reboots stop... Realize though, that even though the phone may not be rebooting, doesn't mean it's stable. . UV can cause all sorts of other errors. We've seen camera artifacts, ram issues, CPU/GPU math errors, etc, etc, caused by UV.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] apex84:
Do you guys have a list of ROMs with the Theme engine that are compatible with Franco's kernel? I was on Paranoid Android up to KK 4.4.4 and always flashed Franco's kernel but they're just too slow with their LP 5.x release and still stuck in alpha 2 since 2 months. Now I'm on CyanogenMod but I really don't want to use it since it's not compatible with this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Scroll up just a few posts above yours.... Post 38381
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] apex84:
I know. I posted my question with that post in mind since the CM team keeps changing things making it incompatible with Franco's kernel. So if I have a viable choice I'd like to get away from CM. I just wish the ParanoidAndroid team would start building on a weekly basis again.

Btw, the kernel in post 38381 seems to work on CM 12.1 20150503.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ramis:
Hey guys,

I'm going to a concert tonight and I usually get pretty bad sound from my videos when I go to concerts.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what settings I could use to improve the quality of the sound?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Yes. Get a dedicated audio recording rig. They're not terribly expensive and you'll be farrrrrr happier with the results. The microphone in your phone is not meant to be assaulted by that many decibels.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Proper video capture device would be good too, something that handles low light better...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ramis:
I'm not looking to buy new equipment. Its only really for things like snapchat or some short videos. I was just wondering if there are tweaks to like audio gain levels or something. Its not really easy to try out different settings while I'm at the concert so I thought someone might know some settings they like.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
Can someone tell me what tunables should I edit to get rid of lags while scrolling? Kernel is good in terms of battery but cant withstand those lags :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sc0rp10:
stock / unrooted flashing

Hi Guys,

I am stock unrooted with an unlocked bootloader to use some enterprise apps. If i flash this kernel through fastboot and stay unrooted would I still be able to receive google's OTA updates? Also, do I need to change anything else before or after flashing the kernel?

thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
Don't know about OTA,what i can say is you don't need anything installed pre or post installation.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Are you on Power-saving profile?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
I am using chroma rom which comes with default franco kernel. And didn't change anything. I always observe lags n stutters with this kernel. That's why i am asking about any tunables to edit to get rid of those lags. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Really, the only way to ensure you're not blowing out the audio is to check the gain live. I'm sure there's got to be an app to help check your levels. Keep lowering the gain until it never peaks in the red. Try to keep it with the peak just above the green/yellow line so you still have a little room to work with. You'd rather end up with it being a little quiet than blown out because you can increase the gain with software later...but once it's clipping, there's no going back.

Good luck
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
No lag with rastapop here. You can install franco's app for tweaking kernel ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
I am using other kernel tweak app kernel adiutor as i don't have means to purchase app :/ Anyways, any idea what tunables should i tweak inorder to have smoother scrolls without those lags n stutters? I have been using this kernel since kitkat days and was satisfied with battery backup at the cost of performance( lags atleast for me ._.)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nicolae-Daniel:
You can change the CPU governor to preformance. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
I ran this on chroma, the included Franco and r75, no lag with stock settings.

Me thinkest thou hast issues of another nature.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
Well, dunno why it lags for me with stock settings, found tweakables and their behaviour on internet, will try trial and error by myself :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Akath19:
No, you won't receive OTAs after you change the system partition or change you kernel in an way.

Also FK changes a few system files in order to load Franco's hotplug driver.

If you want to receive OTAs, you have to reflash stock kernel and system image when they become available.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] osm0sis:
You still receive the OTAs, they will just fail to flash due to unexpected file contents.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Very highly recommended. What you learn, besides being a lot of fun, will enable you to set most any kernel to behave the way you want.

Sometimes I think I have more fun tweaking a governor than loading roms.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AstroBoy89:
Has support for the nexus 5 kernel been dropped? It hasn't been updated in about a month whereas the nexus 6 kernel is still being updated. I know its a pretty stable kernel, but I was under the assumption that Franco regularly updates his kernels. The only ones who don't are the guys at ElementalX, or at least that's all that I know of who don't regularly update their kernel. Is there an update planned anytime soon?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swirly05:
I believe Franco still hasn't gotten a replacement Nexus 5, he bricked his first one and development was a bit tight. Idk if he's building from the naked eye or he might have undercover Nexus 5 testers. Be patient, good things come to those who wait.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AstroBoy89:
I just saw the posts about his bricked nexus :( that's terrible! I hope he can find one as working on a kernel without a device of his own isn't optimal even with testers.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TrenchKato:
You need closed framework to get BBS to work on kk
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
FKU is your best bet if you plan on using Franco's kernel from here on.

If you want to try them all, get TricksterMod. It's in the Play Store. Then you buy the kernel specific app for the kernel you choose.

Regardless of your decision, buy the app you use.

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask. And I'm definitely not screaming BUG haha.

But, the kernel has flashed just fine. But the option to enable root in developer options disappears when running the kernel. And even though privacy guard is on Always Allow I still get a toast saying that FKU cannot get root and will not function. I tried to put privacy guard to always ask but I don't get a promt. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
