[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
The easy way is configuring the FKU app, selecting the various options and changing the values.

The app contains the interface for full CPU settings, kernel setting, per app modes, screen colour control, free system monitor, file manager, some acheivents along the line to make it a bit more fun.

There are other free CPU tuning apps available if you look but for best compatibility the fku app is recommended with this kenrel.

Or run the scripts as Tzfardaya has described in his swap meet thread.

It all really comes down to which level your comfortable at working at :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tkoreaper:
Is the default configuration settings the best for battery life or are there better settings for that?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
That's easy, you just cd to the directory you downloaded the script to, then run it with

sh <script-name>

The default are a solid balance between battery and performance...

Both ginger and vomer have custom settings that improve battery, at a minimal cost in performance...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tkoreaper:
Where can I find these settings? Is it in their sig?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yes, but I'm also putting a thread together to host everyone's tunable... It's linked earlier today in this thread. Gingers are there already, haven't grabbed vomers latest yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Switch that around, improve performance at minimal battery cost ;)

I don't think the jury ever came in about perminant quad core vs hot plugging. It might use a little more battery having all 4 cores on but its allows the use of lower freqs which really helps keep temps down and also spreads the loads on threads much more evenly. The debate could go on but I'll be keeping with my current set up for the for seeable future, maybe the odd tweak here and there but I'm happy with my performance vs battery life with use of per app modes for various levels of gaming
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Heh, maybe compared to your old settings, but compared to stock it's an improvement to battery with minimal performance cost... (that being said, your settings with franco's kernel are an improvement to battery AND an improvement to performance... )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reinert012:
I'm pretty new to FK and i've been running stock kernel for the longest time. A lot of the research I've done here seems to be helping with things on a per-app basis and UVing. I'm more interested in an overall device battery saving tweak(s) while keeping decent performance.

What is the most common tweak for overall device battery saving?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I use a hotplug load_threshold of 20 ginger uses 0,

ginger locks his phone into a quad core state, I do the same, but allow my phone to drop to dual core when idle.

we both underclock very severely.. I run around 1ghz... can't remember what ginger does...

I use per app modes to raise the max freq for apps that need it (and there are VERY few that I've found, our phones are beasts)

Underclocking is one of the biggest power savers you can find, so long as you keep enough performance to drop back to idle rapidly...

undervolting is more for heat than battery life... but it's VERY difficult to set up properly...

A good thread for battery saving is here, but keep in mind you don't have to apply them all, just pick and choose the ones most useful for you.

I'm faced with a serious bug today, I'm on r45 stable+complete stock+stock settings in FKU, but when listening online radio in CHROME or Dolphin Browser and screen turn's off audio turns off too, and when i tirn on screen it starts again(tryied at home wi fi (40 Mb/s) and in work that's not wi fi related problem, last kernel that worked for me was r34-r36 after r36 I don't listening music online. And when i use app(for example TuneIN Radio) all fine and playing good
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_bum:
And are you sure this isnt' a Chrome/Dolphin "feature"?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JeyLo:
I can install other browsers and test it again, i'l report soon but on chrome on r34-r36 before all worked i try 2 new browsers and report soon
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] big_bum:
Maybe the Chrome version installed when you were on older kernel versions worked, but the newer versions of Chrome don't work anymore.

I just tested with radiotuna in chrome with r45 and it works even with the screen off.

This thread grows just to fast...

Didn't manage to read all of the unread. Still trying to catch up;)

Aaaanyway I wanted to leave some feedback.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]:

I am running r45 on:

Omni 03.04.14

UV: 50mV

Throtteling 1,5GHz GPU: 320.

Gonevor: Ondemand

And some color settings.

No SOD anymore since ~2,5 days :)

Great job thanks! as always in SW it just takes a bit of time and a few trys :)

FYI: before I had them 1-3 per day.

One general Q in comparison to other Kernels.

Some other go down to 96MHz Frequency wise. Why don't you? Is there any special reason?

Thanks again man! The few bucks for your app are more than worth it!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] msgfromside3:
If I recall correctly there is no advantage of having lower freq if the voltage is about the same. Moreover, each freq step consumes more power.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SedyBenoitPeace:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] with r45 the audio glitches are back.. I don't think that is the r45 itself because you didn't make any audio changes probably the problem is the latest audio patch that you implemented to improve audio quality! However for now I disabled the gain and the volume boost for headphones then I reboot and the audio worked well! If the bug will appear again I think that I need to install Viper like someone told some pages back!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adivorandroid:
I use franco kernel r45, the latest. 100% compatible i read on this thread.

For complete request screen is responsive after reboot.... but after 10-15 minutes i can only use power botton.

No, but there is a zip in another thread that makes it compatible.

With the kernel of the Paranoid there is support for otg without external program (like stickmount).

Franko will you ever add this?

I don't complain about using a program, but with stickmount the external usb will be mounted in /storage/emulated/0/sda1 and this give some problem with another program I use (foldermount). Instead the Paranoid mount it on /storage/usbstick and this is perfect.

Anyway thanks for your work! :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WettbackMartyr:
Searching this thread for "USB otg" yields results which you can see several times Franco mentions that he has no plans on making the function automatic. Lots of us use stickmount.

No SOD since r45!

Hi there,

An new here so a little background on me:

I came from SonyEricsson x10 (it's still is great there [MENTION=1240506]thegingerbreadman[/MENTION]), and I'm using the Nexus 5 (stock ROM) since a couple of weeks.

I couldn't resist and started running Franco kernel (r38), and started to follow this thread and kernel-updates. Since r45 there a no more SOD on my hardware!

This thread has a rapid flow of posts and as a newcomer i can say that it's hard to keep up. On the other hand, there is never a dull moment.

You all make a great community!

Thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] I've tried out your kernel and some of your free app and I'm hooked.

So, I'll buy your apps and will keep using the kernel for a while.

Keep it up and ket us know if you need some testing or other feedback.

Kind regards,

UltimateGeppie

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
Just a heads up... What's all this SoD business about r45? I haven't had a single one yet on stock settings and voltages. Even played with it a bit. And yeah, not to get off topic but Franco does deserve his earnings. He doesn't even force you to use FKU, it's just recommended for its easy GUI and options. You can use any other kernel modifier and it'll work all the same. Look in Android development and just look at how many of those kernels are based off Francos.. I'd guarantee you more than 75% of them are. There's a reason why, the kernel is Flawless.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The sod business in r45 is because people are reporting that it's fixed... R42 through 44 had sod issues.... Some were hit worse than others...

Aw thank you. I had one SoD on r42 everything else has been a smooth ride so far.
