can you please tell me that which app to use for boosting volume of speakers and headphone ...i heard that you can boost volume and do some pretty weird things when Franco's kernel is installed on phone ...so what should i install to do some tricks with franco's kernel ???please help me ..i am new to franco
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Well you should consider purchasing FKU (Franco Kernel Updater) app on playstore, you can control everything in the kernel including sound and color control will be added soon

Undo flashable zip

Hi [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

Thank you for the great kernel!

My question is directed to you and the other pros. Pardon me for my ignorance...

Is it possible for anyone of you to make a undo flashable zip so that the process of OTA updating becomes much easier after you've installed franco kernel installed. The kernel is outstanding but it breaks certain system files which prohibit OTA updating.

If you could make a zip which can undo these changes franco kernel makes, we would only need to flash the stock kernel and recovery and the OTA should then flow like a breeze.

Otherwise it is a pain flashing the stock image after backing up practically 20 odd GB of data and then restoring it. Especially coz it's via MTP...

Does this sound feasible?

P.S : I am a proud FKU app owner : )

Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
That won't change anything. I have Location on Battery Saving, Report location to google turned on, and Wifi Advanced -> Always scan checked, and I never ever had those wakelocks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tusshar.gaba:
okay thanks man ..i already purchased FKU and it is pretty awesome ..boosted speaker and headphone volume by 10 ...amazing sounds man ..great app ..but i think Franco's latest kernel does not give that much good battery as others give ..just a reviews i got ..thats it ..Respect for Franco for what he do
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ch3micalGnetics:
I'm no expert but I think flashify app will suit your needs. You can backup your stock kernel with this app..

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HellRazorGod:
But the kernel breaks some system files besides just replacing the stock kernel. Which prevents OTA updating.

Only franco and co. know the files that the kernel modifies that prevent OTA'ing
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
Altho my phone uses more battery with it enabled, which is only natural, it definitely doesn't prevent me from getting to the end of the day with my usual usage scenario or anything. Having to plug the phone in to recharge at 9 or 10 wont change much, and to me it's definitely not worth it every time i have to check in myself somewhere or use Tasker's location based profiles etc

As far as I recall I only changed the voltages before, (was a fresh install). After this happened I was only able to use the menu and the tabs in sections (where present), but not to click any of the values, or set on boot icons. It went away after I closed the app in the app-details menu.

How do you get that performance?Running stock ROM 4.4 and Franco kernel R20.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Batfink33:
That's insanely low for N5 on Antutu. I can reach at least 30000 easily using stock and Franco.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Fluidification:
Benchmarking applications are not optimized for Nexus 5, KitKat(to a certain degree), and ART. In theory, KitKat tweaks to those apps have been updated, but I doubt that they are finished.

Thanks to the new version r20 I'm back on Franco kernel with Beanstlak official rom.

I didn't modify any settings in FKU and it seems that the battery drains faster than with the stock kernel. I have Franco r20 for a few hours so I'll confirm this in a couple of charges.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_adventure:
28-35K is normal with stock roms and kernels, higher with MotoX Dalvik. How did you only get 18K? Are you underclocking?

Here's mine:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gamerZ1:
No underclock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_adventure:
Have you tried multiple runs? I mean, if that is consistent, it's a problem. You'd need to figure out what's slowing the system down (and likely chewing up some battery at the same time).

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nickmv:
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and ask why the heck you guys get so concerned about benchmarks?

1. Does your phone perform fast? We all know the answer is YES.

2. Will squeaking a few thousand extra points yield real-world results that you'll notice while using? NO. Because everything happens practically instantaneously on this device.

3. Are you mining bitcoins on this thing or something?

I guess what I'm getting at is --- I'm sometimes amazed at you guys obsessing over tiny little tweaks here and there for getting the highest benchmark score possible. Real life usage is all that matters, and you're certainly not going to be seeing differences.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm by no means saying franco kernel is useless, as it's very nice for battery boost and other features. What I AM talking about is this obsession with benchmark points. It's just silly.

There, my morning rant is done. Carry on.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sukkunida:
Mostly i dont care about Benchmarks but still, sometimes im just curious to see how much i can get

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nickmv:
Don't get me wrong -- I'm not getting onto you guys, but sometimes I notice people constantly posting about their latest benchmarks and how high they've managed to push it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_adventure:
Just to point out, I personally don't care at all about benchmarks and don't look to perfect my device for them. But people ask. And, if someone is showing 18K in antutu over multiple runs, it could be evidence of a more serious problem, since an N5 should destroy that number. If only about half your phone's resources can be dedicated to a benchmark, you probably have other things eating resources in inefficient fashion.

In addition, they can be useful to confirm the eye test - if you load something new, and tell yourself it's better/cooler/stronger/lighter/whatever, you might really believe it and go down the wrong paths. Benchmarks give some kind of empiric test, so when you say 'this seems faster than that was', you can actually check to see if it is just that new hotness, or really just the same old busted up joint.

I ran into this trying to upgrade to 4.4.1 - are you using TWRP? There's apparently a bug that corrupts your cache partition if you try to wipe it. Resulted in my IMEI and baseband info showing as "Unknown". Ended up restoring factory images and that did the trick. I was able to upgrade to 4.4.1 - but I took care not to wipe the cache and this time it worked just fine.

Hi

I'm new in this kernel

Just flashed r20 and buy the franco app.

Can you help me make some adjustments to have better batery lifa and perfomance ?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hi viking, welcome to the N5 :) have you had fun with high clocks? I remember you like to push your device!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Hi franciscofranco ;),

Hey, you remember right :victory:

Yes, I tested 2,57 Ghz, not higher yet, but Antutu doesn't like... :p. It seems stable for me in normal use. Maybe I need to play a little with the voltage but I doubt it is the reason :confused:

I guess if there is not an "issue" with Antutu (same thing with my LG G2, so S800 too), as soon as you play with higher CPU freq or thermal stuff (with custom kernel), Antutu always crashes at 21% during the bench, even if the CPU temperature is not in the thermal throttling range, even playing with the voltage... :confused:

Other than that, always glad to see you again since my Nexus 4, always appreciate the legendary battery life with your kernel ;)

Plus provide CPU overclock possibility is nice.

Just missing one thing... the Ondemand governor... :D, because I know it well (and always use it since a long time) and I like to tweak it as my like with great results in different situations (mainly performance), I'm a bit lost with Interactive.

:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Rxpert:
Every phones different. If your phone doesn't play well with Franco, try something else

Don't blame the kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Binary Droids:
Honest opinion: just leave it the way it is. Incredible battery life and smooth performance with Franco's settings. Use it for a few days to see if anything needs to be tweaked for your use. But, you'll probably find out that is great the way it is.

Just a heads up, and maybe this only applied for 4.4.1 --> 4.4.2 update, but I forgot to re-flash the stock kernel, and it went ahead and adb sideloaded just fine.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HellRazorGod:
Hi,

I noticed that the input boost frequency on the r20 is 1597 MHz compared to the 1300 MHz it was previously in r19. Won't that drain battery more? Coz the CPU is being forced to do the same task on a higher frequency? Could someone explain the reasoning behind this modification? Thanks!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lolpok:
Thanks! i am gonna look into that :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d.kozzer:
As the dev explained in this very thread not too long ago, the idea is that touch response is better/smoother, but after testing through a couple battery cycles, there didn't seem to be any hit on battery life. So basically a free performance boost. If you want to change it back to the lower value, you can.

Have you tried lowering the thermal throttle threshold value?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zoltrix:
speaking of thermal throttle, my phone just got real hot playing Tapped Out for a few minutes

Didnt do that on r19 but does it on r20

I know there was thermal throttle changes, but i figured the heat would be less common ?

Anyone got suggestions on what i should modify?

Also, has anyone played with the Mic Gain option in FKU? Microphone is really weak on this phone while making phone calls...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Quite the contrary, the changes are ought to make the device cooler faster. Can you play that game again while having the Kernel log open on ADB shell so that you can copy and pasta the log? Its easy:

1 - connect to the computer

2 - terminal -> adb shell -> su -> cat /proc/kmsg

3 - play the game, when it gets a little hotter check the log to see if you receive the "Max frequency has been throttled to X" something like this message

Let me know the results and if you see it being throttled.

<6>[ 1671.093422] msm_thermal: Setting cpu3 max frequency to 1350000

What I think is that your device is not throttling because the CPU is not hot enough for throttling even if it feels on your hands that's just the battery being a bit more warm. I wouldn't worry I tested it yesterday for 1h with a constant stability test and it throttled alright all the way.

I don't know what you guys are doing, but mine always boots up at 2,26GHz. I've set the frequency manually both on the Kernel config and in the Kernel driver that inits the frequency. That is probably due to thermal throttle when the device heats up a bit on boot or something, its not a problem though, the thermal code will reset to 2,26GHz when its cooled. What bugs me is how is anyone rebooting so often? I never reboot unless I'm testing Kernels O.o

I had this antutu 21% issue from the beginning with r13 and I had to UV -75 and raise thermal throttle threshold to 80. Since that, I always pass 21%
