No CPU or GPU OCing? Two governers only?

Real racing 3 - lags are there against pretty much no lag on stock kernel.

BTW, what app to use for OCing? May there's smth better than trickster mod?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
I guess you need a different kernel as I doubt Franco will ever add OC for the N5.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Savant:
Its amazing when most of the devs say that its usually to over clock GPU and CPU for everyday use. No lags on this kernel or others playing real racing. Maybe its your setup or your holding it wrong.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
No GPU or CPU overclocking, don't bother asking me. Yes two governors why? You don't need more.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rsa 329:
Just a personal note...I read through this forum and all I see is people *****ing about their battery life, their low antutu scores or their screen color.

This kernel rocks! If for some reason your screen time isn't or scores aren't high enough or long enough...return to stock and quit *****ing.

These are comments coming from senior members, which implies you must have some knowledge of how **** works...doesn't seem that way to me.

Great work Franco! keep it up, some of us appreciate your hard efforts. BTW, if you (all the whiners) haven't noticed...this is a work in progress.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] caribouxda:
I feel I am the only one that has the nexus 5 since day 1 it came out and never ran a benchmark score app...however users should no be blamed, since there are rom devs this year that promote their roms about high speed, based on benchmark scores so of course whoever has been with android for 2 months, believes benchmark scores mean A LOT!

They are definitely going to boost your scores. But they seemed to make Tapatalk more jittery for me.

Qualcomm dalvik libs are not relevant to the kernel. No need to report back. Enjoy your benchmarking.

I'm currently running r12 as this gives me far better idle battery consumption than r14 (not tried r15) and I've not had any lag on RR3 with any of these kernels. I've not tweaked or messed with any of the kernel settings, just running stock ROM & r12

Oh come on... Search!

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] darkghost568:
A lot better! I still want to get a little higher if that's possible. Are there any other settings I might be able to tweak? (CPU: 2.3 GHz, Performance, deadline, MP Decision off. GPU: 450MHz, Performance.)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes, something like this:

X = initial load

X1 = load

X2 = frequency

echo X X1:X2 > target_loads

You can add as many X1 and X2 as you want, just separate them with a space. Example:

echo 70 70:1026000 80:2260000 > target_loads

Don't use this example values, its just to illustrate. It basically makes the governor jump to your desired freqs if the device hits that load. Its good for finer control over the governor.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 75markus:
just for your information, there´s a benchmark thread over there in the general section ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
r12 and all other newer versions have the same idle consumption. Today I had a flat 1% loss over 9 hours of sleep. It just works.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] darkghost568:
Cool OK thanks. I'll move it to there :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fredfox_uk:
:) I'm not knowledgeable enough about the inner works to explain why I've see a difference, but I do ! with r12 it's almost dead on 1% an hour when "idle" i.e. I'm not interacting with it but sync & data on - email and the like. Overnight with sync off 1% for 9 hours yes, on all the kernels :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Rxpert:
Pretty normal
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Wenzo2:
ok! someting like this is useless?

PS: the thermal throttling isn't responsible for the low benchmark score. i've lunch antutu in the freezer :silly::silly::silly: and i've get the same score. I suppose that the nexus 5 isn't optimized for the benchmark (because is useless) but a confirmation would make me feel comfortable.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Wenzo2:
i suppose you're listening .flac music. 4.4 kitkat isn't compatible with flac music. with the next update google fix this problem. until then you must increase the frequency on hotplug to 1,4-1,5ghz with an high battery drain. I recommend you to listen .mp3 file for some time

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] suchevent:
correct

ot: I'm reading a lot of "r12 is the cat's meow". personally, I haven't noticed a difference between r12 and r14. is anyone willing to back up their claim with some empirical evidence? it would be interesting to see if there is, in fact, validity to these claims.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
This isn't a helpful post. You need to be including more information. Like what parts of it are "slow", what activities are you doing when you experience it? For me the latest test is the smoothest build yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dazz87:
Weird issue with Franco App running on r13. I turned on my phone when it was full charge. I noticed that the cpu speed went back to 2265MHz even tho it was set on 1267MHz. Also, my headphone volume boost was set to 4. Both cpu and headphone had set on boot enable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Not run any benches on either my n5 or n7 2013. Benchmarks can be helpful and I have used them in the past to test through put for SD operations and seeing if your making improvements or not when I had my galaxy nexus and older n7.

Both are old. Compare r15 v4 to either of those then say they are better

Did you set on boot?

Couldn't agree more

Awesome, I'm already bought the paid version. I'm trying to switch fully to drive
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Notechis:
Agreed. For personal purposes benchmarks are a fine thing to tune the phone a bit and see where the neck of a bottle is, not more.

Either CM or [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] should really do something about this. It's really awful that you have to decide between CM and franco.Kernel. I will probably have to go with CM once official nightlies are out. :/

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'm working on a new mode when the GPU is busy for 8-10 seconds in a row then all cores go online permanently until the GPU is not busy again.

No -.-

About target_loads, that's correct!

About thermal, you're wrong, the device will hit thermal throttle very soon on Antutu and drop the values down.

When CM nightlies go live I'll see what I can do to give it compatible.

You can disable it because I've been using Pandora now and others. I used it once when the device first came out.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] squadz:
I use tune in radio, had no idea there was FM support. Wouldn't affect me if you remove FM support.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bleuxeon:

I think that unless there is some draw back enabling FM, it is important to keep all hardware featured by stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lucifer9:
Please do so. I'd like to test FM. But which app should I use to use FM if enabled in kernel ? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ok I just enabled it:

Qualcomm IRIS FM support (RADIO_IRIS) [Y/n/m/?] y

Qualcomm IRIS Transport (RADIO_IRIS_TRANSPORT) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) y

I'll try Spirit FM.

Just bought my N5 like I said in an earlier post, this thing flies. Awesome work, like you did with the N4 (when I had one). I can easily get 3h30 SoT with LTE only with everything enabled (except G Now, I don't bother using it in Quebec).

Vibrate

I noticed the default vibrate strength is 100 and even still it feels weak for haptic feedback. When it vibrates for calls it I barely strong enough to notice. Do I have a faulty phone or is everyone else experiencing weak vibrate?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Haptic feedback is a pure pile of shít in this device, it has the worse vibrate feeling I've ever experienced.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] albenex:
I used this function to REDUCE vibration strenght.. At 60% is more or less like iPhones' vibration.. So i think your device might be faulty
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alpione:
Franco, question about your sound boost solution.

Faux has two settings for headphone boost, one analog and one digital. The user space mixer boost mod uses these two values for each channel:

<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />

<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />

What does your setting use and why did you choose to do it that way? Just curious.

Great kernel. Good battery and smoothest for me. Thanks!

I had a real hard time trying to kill my phone, but I finally did it. I used Francos suggested settings for test-15 on cataclysm rom works great. Thanks Franco!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
That HPHL & HPHR that's what I call the headset boost, maybe my word name is wrong though. I usually on my device I remove a bit of that gain to reduce a bit of grain and distortion.

What settings did you actually use? I've been trying a lot of values the last days :)

Argh I just found out why gaming might be a bit laggy, the device was automatically throttling to 729MHz if the temperature was equal to the threshold value, which is easily attained instead of scaling down freqs progressively in small levels. Sorry fellas. Also implemented something from mako: when the GPU is under very busy load during 10 secs in row device turns into insta quad code and it won't drop below 4 cores until the gpu load is normal again, should definitely boost gaming performance.

i feel that the vibrate for a phone call is stronger than haptic, but the weak haptic feedback is ruining the user experience of this phone. im reaching for my nexus 4.. i really wanted to like this phone, but the nexus 4 has a better user experience due to its shape (hand feel), stronger haptic feedback, and weight.
