Hi Francisco, since a few kernels ago, I've seen that battery life gets drowned quickly when listening music, is this an isolated issue? I have no logs for I am just a regular user that uses cell for music & browsing.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
For some reason, the cpu ramps up since r35. It's something I have been trying to figure out too. For now, set per-app for your player. 300mhz max should suffice, but you may have to go one step higher if you're using very high quality audio.

Edit: Let me add, at least this is the case with PowerAmp on my device. And let me also add this is not related to adblocking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CM-PRo:
Is it possible to put 3 cores offline in franco r49 when the phone is idle? Also, any other battery saving tips for this kernel? Maybe some more governors like intellidemand and smartass would be nice? :/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigmem:
On r49, no faults I have seen on anything since it was test version. Then today just I was watching youtube app. I got a major panic and freeze till it then just rebooted. Logs attached. Any idea on conflict or such. Everything has been smooth for me since r47, audio all good and no issues with casting. I'm on stock rom with some xposed modules
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Triversity:
No and no. Franco has already answered those multiple times. Just search for it.

Why search when you could post something for the 40th time?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SpecRek9:
Yes, exactly it is with Poweramp here too, I will set the suggested changes and see the results. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ProNewb:
Damnit, I cannot connect to my Bluetooth anymore R49, even back tp r33. What could be done wrong. Tried clearing cache, what now. How to go to stock ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Just reflash your Rom.. (dirty or clean, your choice) and that should clean up you bt issues...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
BT was not touched in this kernel. Could be your rom.

Per-app mode question...

Does the selected mode remain enabled when the screen turns off? The reason I ask is because I noticed that after starting an app that has a mode assigned, I see the "setting applied" notification. I then turn the screen off, and when turning the screen back on, I see the notification again.

I suggested someone set a per-app mode for PowerAmp, but if the settings aren't applied when the screen is off, it kind of defeats the purpose, since it's more likely the screen is off when listening.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Pam is only active while the screen is on and the app is in the foreground.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Looks like you might be better off using Tasker. Per-app modes don't stick with the screen off. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dannaoj:
Anyone here using this amazing kernel with viper4android?

If yes, can i flash this kernel after flashing viper4android? Or this one should go first?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Shamus69:
Yes, it works just fine. I converted viper4android to a system app to work properly. I don't think it matters which order you install them, they work independently.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Haidary.T:
I did experience the same issue on Trinity too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
So whats on the docket today? How can the already awesome kernel be perfected anymore?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prstorero:
By making our devices grow money ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Per-App Modes is only for the foreground app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Oh yeah, that's another reason I use Tasker instead of Pam... :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Since we're on the topic...

I was trying to use a script to set load_threshold to 0 and then min all 4 cores to 300mhz. However, cores 2 & 3 don't seem to have the ability to be set. There's no /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu(2/3)/cpufreq/scaling_(min/max)_freq

Cores 0 & 1 get set to 300mhz but 2 & 3 stay at 2.3ghz. And if I set only core 0 to 300mhz, core 1 stays at 2.3ghz.

Does this sound right?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The manipulation files for cores 2 and 3 only exist while cores 2 and 3 are online... :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Tasker does that incorrectly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Was my understanding this phone had async cores... In which case that is the "proper" handling.. ;) but if you're expecting all 4 cores to cap at the same free you need to handle them all manually... (which iirc is why your own flu would blip cores 2 and 3 on for a quick moment when changing min/max freq a while ago :P )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Duh.. right! Ok.. I added a sleep to the script and it now works correctly.

I'm just using Tasker to run the script, not actually adjust the settings.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
New boot test image? Whats new?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The boot test image...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes, that's why I do that on FKU.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
And Tasker isn't as user friendly as fku. So we need to manually set each core with Tasker. :P

Note to self, current scripts are built to work with fku... Make appropriate tweaks for standalone restore scripts...

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cyanoviper:
As the new release stated something about fast charge I was really excited. But I cant get it to work for the life of me, has been the same way for the last couple of versions, or even forever on the N5. I activate it in FKU. Anyone got any hints for me? Always gets recognized as a media device... Im on the beta 4 version of paranoid android by the way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theowner997:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] Wow latest test boot image has definetely better battery life while playing games, I am really amazed, did you do any battery related changes? or is it me being crazy? :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
that's the way it has worked on this kernel since implemented... Faster charging + media access..

You're crazy.. :P not sure what that has to do with battery life though...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Placebo mode = activated.

See how things are so random and so much usage dependent? I merely merged a security patch and cleaned a small portion of code on my hotplug driver, code is at github.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cyanoviper:
well THATS embarassaing. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theowner997:
Yeah I am crazy I always forget github, my bad ???
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tandxcstar1:
I flashed the newest boot.img and the strangest thing happened... Most of my Homescreen widgets diapered and I had to re-add them back (which is not a bad thing) but never had this happen before at all with any of the img's or FKU flashes... Other then that so far so good :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
did you boot into safe mode perhaps? I've had that clear a few widgets on me...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Not Kernel's fault that's for sure.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Skyrocket2Paradise:
awesome kernel running r49 with rastakat and battery life is awesome
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Nope it didnt boot in Safe Mode.. Just same as usual minus some widgets.. Again... Not sure how it happened, not a big deal but this is the first time this has ever happened sooo who knows lol. Thanks everyone
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lilkidz:
I'm having a problem with using my nexus one's ac charger. I have used franco kernels before and it would work fine when I activated fast charge. But after r49, I haven't been able to get my ac charger to work, even if I activated fast charge. It would always display charging then not charging. And repeat itself.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Sounds like the charger is dying... And fast charge should have no effect on ac charging...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Edo 91:
Lost 6% during night in airplane mode, is it normal? :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] EPayne123:
It's normal if you have a program attempting to update but unable to do so possibly due to no connection this creating a possible nice heavy Wakelock. . . but that's only a small possibility lol could be any number of things.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fibilt:
Hi Franco, awesome kernel, I'm more than happy with battery sensations. But I'm experimenting a kind of issue which I'd like to advice you: I've realized when I kill applications I stop receiving push notifications. I don't know where is the matter but I think it's just with your kernel. Is it possible? I'm talking about whatsapp, Twitter, linkedin... However gmail works fine even if I kill the application to quit
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say your problem isn't with the kernel. It's definitely something on your end. Could be related to a custom ROM if you're not on stock, or an app like Greenify.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fibilt:
Thank you for your answer, but I don't think so. I did not greenify applications which I'd receiving push notifications. Discard the ROM as well because with elementalX everything works fine. Likely ain't kernel issue, but started off happening after flash this kernel. Any other idea could be responsible of this? Thank you in advanced guys
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
You're welcome. Kernels don't generally touch apps or their notifications. Unless the apps are force closing everytime a notification comes through and that's not normal at all. The kernel and ROM itself may just not be compatible. Keep in mind Franco kernel and elementalx kernel are are entirely different kernels. Which version did you flash? You could try flashing a different version of the kernel and see if the problem persists.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Hey [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], I sent you a Hangouts message, but not sure if you saw it. Also figured I'd post my idea here too, for others to see. It's with regard to your Per-app Modes app. If possible, I would love to have a function that would give you a notification when a new app is installed that would prompt you to set a mode right away for it. Maybe have 2 buttons for predefined profiles and a third to bring you to the app for the rest of the profiles, or to make a new one? This way new apps don't get forgotten. I think it would be quite helpful. Thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
This is a bug from android 4.4.1 which became more apparent in 4.4.2. Force stopping applications stops their services running. Simple solution don't swipe apps out of your recent apps menu.

Sounds quite good to me, I like that that idea
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
After a cycle the latest test version of 5-15-2014 seems to be giving great battery so far. Stock settings on stock ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theowner997:
2 hours non stop Asphalt :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You kill the apps and you expect them to keep pushing notifications? Its like killing a bee and waiting for it to revive and sting you... Apart from that theres a bug on KitKat that services that should auto start after killed don't.

Yes I've seen the message. Its interesting, I'll think about it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theowner997:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] will dalvik and bionic patches affect the kernel??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Haidary.T:
It's a ROM tweak so nope:) don't flash on Slim or you'll get bootloop :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fibilt:
I got it!!! Hahaha. But the strange thing is that just going on with some applications. For example I can kill gmail and notifications are still working, although not for whatsapp or Twitter... Thank you anyway, I won't kill apps anymore.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] perrocaliente:
I have a question for anybody who owns a wireless charger. I'm running franco kernel of course (r49) but I have an issue that I believe is unrelated? My wireless charger is supposed to light up solid green when my phone is full. This functionality worked fine on my nexus 4 100 percent of the time. However my Nexus 5 it always blinks charging no matter what or how long it's charging. The phone charges fine but I'm worried it might be overcharging? Is this due to some form of communication between the charger and the phone or do I have a defective phone? Does anyone else have any knowledge they can share?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
For some unknown reason Google apps go around that KitKat bug... Gotta love Google.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SpecRek9:
Thanks for your reply, so just to verify I understood correctly: I'd have to create a per-app changing the Max CPU Freq to 300MHZ and leaving all other values intact, and, assign it to powerapp right? (This would set the max and mix cpu freqs at 300MHz).

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MikeF0209:
ART and r49 release

Hello all, I'm back to Andriod after a few years with an iPhone on sabbatical. Glad to be back and with this device after extensive research on which Android phone to get. Originally had an Inspire 4G modded rooted etc,

In any case, I'm rooted on stock rom running franco's kernel. After extensive reading on here and on the web I decided this was the kernel to have.

I searched this thread for ART settings suggestion but couldn't find a decent answer.

My main question is. should I run this kernel with ART or dalvik?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theowner997:
I believe no problem, because ART has nothing to do with the kernel, maybe I am wrong.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] odavans:
Is the deadline default IO Scheduler for Franco Kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MikeF0209:
I read on here that some people were having issues randomly. It doesn't interact with the Kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
My best guess is that the N5 charging circuit allows some type of trickle charge, or just shunts some to ground. The N4 would charge to 100%, then stop charging. It would start again at 95%(?). Rinse, repeat until it was removed from the charger. Occasionally, it wouldn't release the charger wakelock, never letting the phone sleep. The N5 may leave some current draw all the time on the charger, and just release it when removed. But yours is not acting odd.

Tl,dr: mine does the same.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
1) you made a very good choice with the Nexus 5. It's the best bang for the buck in Android phones right now, especially if you go with a quality pre-paid provider like AT&T's GoPhone. And of course 5" full HD 1080p/445 ppi display beats the iPhone's 4.0" 640p/326 ppi display any day. ;) (640p is sub-HD resolution. 720p is the minimum to be classified as high definition display. 1080p is full HD.) Welcome back!

2) Either ART or Dalvik is fine. Many claim ART is smoother, but there are some hiccups. For instance, Xposed modules (which can give you some custom features on STOCK ROM) will only run on Dalvik. Some other apps also had trouble with ART early on, when it first appeared with KitKat, but that has slowly been resolved.

Gravity Box is the most popular Xposed module. It's a toolbox for stock ROM that replicates many features in custom ROMS.

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v2-9-1-tweak-box-android-t2554049

Once you install it, you can select what features you wish to enable. You install the Xposed framework and then download and install this module. IF this is something you would want to tinker with, then stay on Dalvik for now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Yes and no. The per-app mode will only be active if PowerAmp is in the foreground. So, if you turn off the screen or put PowerAmp in the background everything goes back to normal.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Sure, but that Pam would only be active while the screen is on AND poweramp is in the foreground...

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

I've ran art since day one, no issues with it here, one caution about xposed modules, there have been situations in this thread where the mods have caused instability issues...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_bum:
Yes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MikeF0209:
Awesome thanks for the answer. Yes I'm already using Xposed and GravityBox :) and a couple of other modules for Pandore skips and IG saves etc. My bad, I guess I should had mentioned that on the original post. So I'm definitely staying with dalvik for now. Thanks again for the info. :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ali8383:
Why only 2 cpu online and 2 always offline ? It is normal in this kernel ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yes, go read the FAQ linked in the op
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BungleMX:
anyway that per app speaker gain could be added?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Already can be, check out the op of the swap meet thread linked in my signature...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] odavans:
lags in Simpsons :( can it be kernel related?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Nope, seemed to start with the last tsto update...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] odavans:
strange, but from kernel version R48 Simpsons lags like hell
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Not on my phone, it only started stuttering in neighbours towns today after the in game updates downloaded.... Otherwise stutter/lag free here (uc'd to 1ghz)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] odavans:
what is tsto?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The Simpsons: Tapped Out
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BungleMX:
Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I want my speaker louder just in one app, (PRIP APP)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yes, and the information you need to do that is in the thread I directed you to...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BungleMX:
Ok I'll double check, thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Custom tunable for Pam, there's an attached zip with the use full paths... Including audio...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_adventure:
It's because Google Apps all use the built-in Google Sync services that are not linked to the front-end apps. So Gmail can be dead, but you'll still receive the notifications. This is true for all of the Google apps that receive pushes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Google cloud messaging, right? There are other apps that are starting to tie into that too....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
Franco, I'm really enjoying your PAM app! Great job on it! I also use your FKU app. I use these apps regardless of the kernel I'm using, yours, or somebody else's. And that brings me to suggest a feature for your FKU app. With some other kernels that I use, they have different hot plugging systems, and different tunables. Do you think there is a chance that FKU can get the "add a custom tunable" option? It would make your app sort of "universal" as well!

Edit: Maybe even making a separate app? That will allow us to create custom tunables, and then set them on boot. That's it. I'd buy it for sure!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ben36:
Good idea
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Add it yourself... The functionality to do that has been in the app for a while now...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Savant:
Yeah r13 is a daily driver and definitely improves the performance of the phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gormsen:
Amazing work you have done with this kernel Franco. Have been running faux and bricked kernel so far. Then signed up for the beta version and bought you app on Google Play, flashed r13 and have been flying ever since.

Haven't had time to test battery life, 'cause I've been play RR3 all night. And what an experience. My phone runs so cool now, without the slightest dip in fps.

In speaker gain, 5 seems to be the sweetspot for me before I begin to notice distortion.

This is by far the best kernel I've been on so far on the Nexus 5.

Once again: Thanks mate!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
Okay, thank you. Lower priority? :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Lower priority like the kernel source for flo, deb, mako, grouper to bring them all up to 4.4. Franco has a fairly large group of devices to cover as just one man (machine). So I think he's just doing what he can here while he can, enjoy the attention for now and then when kernel source drops for those devices I expect him to take some time to update those guys.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
I understand that, but imho this feature for hammerhead should be a TOP priority :(, I'm missing bad this from my N4 and would like to swipe to Franco this time.

Well you should move along or code your own kernel to do what YOU think is top priority.. Understand that how your putting things sounds demanding and Franco isn't to please your desires especially arbitrary features that dont really matter at all.

I'm having that too, but guess, since the app being in beta, it is going to be solved later.
