Is anyone here using the r25 / r26 build with Cyanogen / Omni / Catalysm / Dirty Unicorn Mod?

If so, how stable your device is running?

I have got a problem with the Linaro build (from LaboDJ) and it seems that whenever I change the CPU governor from performance to interactive, kernel panic / watchdog error occurred immediately, while for others (except AOKP), the crash will take place after 5-10 minutes.

If you guys can confirm that the latest Franco build is working with other mods, I will just switch it to Franco build for testing.

By the way, Franco, will you consider to use the Linaro toolchain in the following builds such that I no longer need to rely on those unofficial build?

I guess most of us would want better performance and efficiency with the Linaro toolchain optimization.

Reporting back! Idle drain is reminding me of your N4 kernel now :D :good:

Only 3% drop in about 7 hours over night!

Specs:

- WiFi enabled

- All google now/sync stuff was on

- WiFi Scanning always available - turned off

- Only CPU change was an under clock to 1.4GHz

Have not even touched undervolting and it's already awesome :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dmmarck:
Welp, I just used flashify. It booted, so....success.

I do appreciate a utility like this; minimizes USB usage (it appears the port on the N5 will become quite ugly in due time, so I'd like to minimize this as much as possible).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alpione:
Agreed. Tough to get a cable into that port and it will probably look pretty chewed up in due time.

On the WiFi thing, I always keep "Scanning Always Available" set to "On" and have no battery drain issues. So I'd venture something else is causing that. Sometimes we're too quick to turn all of the features off unnecessarily. "Battery Saver" GPS is a good example. The app list in Location Services tells you whether apps are requesting full GPS or just WiFi/network location, and for me at least it's much more common to see the "Low Battery Use" (non-GPS) selection. So doing Battery Saver might save you a couple percent of battery, it also disables GPS in Maps, etc., unless you turn it back on.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 75markus:
true !

that´s also a big advantage of this tool, you don´t have to USB connect your phone for every kernel flash

i only connect the N5 via USB if it is absolutely needed, i usually transfer small files like pictures or kernels via dropbox

if you search the forum, you´ll see endless posts from people who killed the USB port on their phone with plugging in 20times a day
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dmmarck:
The teeth and some edge wear is already showing (very minimal, but enough to send my OCD into overdrive). Will be looking into Qi chargers soon.

Re: WiFi, I actually think an app kept it up. If it happens tonight I'm going to go through the usual procedures for seeing what's what. Forgot to do that this morning before I jetted off to work half asleep...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sordna:
So is the port on the N4 more durable than the N5?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dmmarck:
I'm less concerned over the port's functionality than the port's aesthetic look. The extremely close tolerance of the plastic around it, while looking great out of the box, is absolutely terrible for repeated use. Maybe this is Google's subtle way to push us to wireless charging? ;)

I plug it in to charge overnight and that's it (well, now that Flashify exists). The rest I do what you do--Dropbox or Drive.

Hard to tell. See my above comments; my concern is not necessarily with functionality, but with how it will look after repeated usage. In fact, there's a picture from the Ars review that shows the port dead on and the image is startling. I've attached a photo with yellow circles showing the wear evident already.

That being said, once FKU gets updated to allow flashing direct from the app these concerns will dwindle.

Also, while I know it's a meaningless sample size (2 hours), the leveling off of drain from stock kernel ==> reboot ==> test 8 is absolutely comical.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dazz87:
Getting the same issue. I unplugged it from the charger (100%) at 11:00pm last night. Woke up at 6;30am this morning and noticed my battery was down to 83%.....No idea why its draining like this. First time this has happen since using this kernel. I had great standby time when on stock. I am clocked at 1497MHz/300MHz no uv. No changes to my phone except for flashing this kernel.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
2 hours screen on time isn't because of a fault with the kernel. It sounds like you really need to get better battery stats and figure out what in the world is draining your battery. You can definitely achieve 4-5 hours of screen time without "neutering" your device, as some put it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r27, last release for 2013, its just a bug fix but an important one:

* Fixed a bug that was making the CPU stay on input boost freq too long after the boost period has expired
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nope, I'm using exactly what Google uses to compile stock Kernel. Other toolchains don't do much in terms of Kernel code optimization, its more placebo than anything.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] UnknownzD:
Last release -> Party time! :D:laugh:

Anyway, I guess I will just switch to Franco build for now.

The r27 fix seems to be vital for CM11 and CM-based build. And I can't wait to play these goodies with the multi ROM support at the last day of 2013 :P

So I guess I just have to use the Franco build for now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] travisjustin:
I can get 6 hours over an 11 hour period without any neutering on a regular basis. I don't use Google now, because I have no use for it. I under volt -75, and use greenify. That's it..

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Rejinderi:
I don't, just CM and FKU, I did not change anything on CM.. it was 2265 MHz on FKU before I flashed R27

Hi,

Sorry for the OT, but it's wrong. There is 3 different restore files depending of the Android version, all in flashable zip so no need to reflash the rom... not in the OP right but in the last pages or with a little search. But in any case a Nandroid backup is obviously the first thing to do.

Since I'm here, happy new year Francisco and @ all (grrr in advance but...) :D :good: ;)

End of OT.

:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_adventure:
That's totally normal. PVS 1 devices often choke on -50 everywhere, and I don't think that anyone is consistently hitting -75 everywhere. Try this: -25 everywhere, but 675 (so, minus 100) at 300Mhz. Since the large majority of phone-on time that is not in deep sleep is at 300, this will help more than -75 everywhere.

Somebody (maybe [MENTION=2918197]The Gingerbread Man[/MENTION]?) tested his phone (PVS 2 IIRC) at every frequency and found that he couldn't run the middle frequencies safely at more than -25 or so, but that the low end frequencies could be grossly undervolted.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] UnknownzD:
Yea, this is true that actually I was going to make a thread to warn people about it, since this uv problem is actually a kernel-independent problem.

For people who are trying to uv the cpu voltage, please keep in mind that the global -50 or -25 thing does not work on all PVS level.

For PVS level 0 ~ 2, it is possible to place -50 or -25 on higher frequency levels.

However for PVS 3+, it is impossible to place a global -50 or -25 on higher frequency levels.

I have tried to set the global -50 UV setting on my phone (PVS 2) & my gf's phone (PVS 3), and has found that the default voltage table for 2.2 GHz to 2.5 GHz are already differed by -25mV. Until I have manually reset the voltage setting for 2.2 GHz to 2.5 GHz from the PVS 3 level to PVS 2 level, my gf's device just constantly crash when she was playing any kinds of games.

So here is general rules:

Only apply large amount of uv for low frequency, and do not apply / do reduce large amount of uv for high frequency when kernel panic occurs.

By the way, I have also found another bug that whenever I try to set the CPU governor to interactive under CM11 based mod with Franco kernel, kernel panic just occurs immediately.

Franco, could you tell me whether this is a problem caused by your kernel or is it on their side? Do I have to use their own modified kernel? :\

Personally I do feel your kernel is better based on what I saw from the src code repo.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Madpiercing:
im PVS 1 and i have 300 and 2.2 at -100 and the rest at -75. i'm noto the only one if you look at the undervolting thread. PVS doesn't seem a definitive indication of soc quality and performance to me honestly..

I am having a reproducible kernel panic and reboot while using Sixaxis Controller App under Franco kernel. The panic happens when I hit stop to turn off their custom Bluetooth driver and restart stock Bluetooth.

Fc fku, clear app data, in recovery clean dalvik and cache, fix permissions.

If that doesn't solve the problem it's either rom and/or 3rd party app causing crash (ie. Xprivacy can cause crashes if you don't configure it properly).
