Uhm, I'm in the N5, N4 and N10 forums.

A question was raised about another device. I continued the line, thinking all the answers would come at once. And, how about that, they all came at once.

Lighten up, Francis.

And, maybe not 10 years old, but sure wish I was 10 years younger.

nice to know the timeline... thanks for the update... can't wait to try r15... i couldn't boot up r14 at all so i flashed back to r12 since that's what i had on my internal storage...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nyyankees1237:
Sorry if this was answered already but I'm running r13 at the moment (waiting for r15 to drop officially). Which versions of FK support faux's gamma app? r15+ or all versions? (Including r13) thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
r15 test only.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] javan966:
been watching this kernel since i got my Nexus 5 about 2 weeks now just rooted it today and flash your kernel r12 since thats the one i see everyone is saying they get the best results from. I also purchase the app, hope to get great battery life like i see everyone getting around here lol....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gundamboy:
Don't worry man, even with r14 the drain is minimal.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Time to flash r14.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed the latest r15-test boot.img http://192.241.177.15/Nexus5/4.4/tests/boot-test15.img which has a couple of important fixes from the last test - no point in explaining what I fixed, check git commits if you want to read it. Have fun, I'll release in 24h if no major problems are found.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] javan966:
Think am gonna hold off til you release r15

Firefox Beta fcs for me on boot ad well. What type of log would help?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the1dynasty:
Franco, any idea why my device shows the boot animation, then reboots... it just repeats that... i skipped r13 and tried r14 a few days ago and it did that... then i just tried it again with r15 and its the same thing... i do have ART turned on... i know you would suggest turning it off but i'd rather not unless there was definitive reason to... thanks for your work on this either way ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
You answered your own question.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the1dynasty:
i realize i can guess why its not working... but i'm curious why r12 works fine with ART but r14-15 doesn't?!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jdh10475:
I think from previous posts I have read that Franco has said he does does not support ART I believe something was removed. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the1dynasty:
thanks for the heads up... i thought i remember him saying something about ART but i didn't realize he removed something from it to prevent it even booting up with ART...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
No idea why firefox is crashing on boot, I haven't tried to reproduce the issue yet.

No idea. What rom are you using? Runtime compiler has nothing to do with the Kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dwang:
Art isn't the problem.

I'm using art w r14 and r15 without issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mbh87:
r14 works fine with ART, using it now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the1dynasty:
weird... i'm stock just rooted and installed your kernel for better colors and battery :D thanks for your response... i'll try again i guess...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sekkyboy:
I already join Beta participate , Google Plus group and Bough the Kernel updater still not receving the beta update and i just come from S3 have no idea about the cpu setting app here are my question interactive governor is good for a battery ? if i want to save more battery what do i need to do. (looking at the FAQ can't find at all)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
interactives the only governor in the kernel... You could use performance but that's mainly for benchmarks. For battery, its the same for every phone... Under clock, undervolt, location off, etc.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
There's currently no beta FKU available.

Hey Franco, and everyone else,

Just curious, but would a kernel affect NFC capability? It seems that my NFC isn't working..tried to tap with my gfs N4..no prompt to beam. Anyway, not a HUGE deal because I rarely use it...I actually don't know if NFC was working prior..so could be hardware issue. Thanks in advance!

Best,

I'm using the optimizeed dalvik libs no ART.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
He said r15 will come in the next day of there are no problems and ART works fine, the kernel makes no difference to ART :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
But there is also no need to use it aswell. Furthermore franco said plenty of times don't use ART. So if you experience problems don't expect him to help you.

kernel wakelock

[MENTION=470754]Franco[/MENTION]

I am on 11/27 Purity with r14 and while connected to car handsfree via bluetooth I get two wakelocks:

bluesleep

msm_serial_hs_rx

Both wakelocks are present for whole time during BT is connected to the BT handsfree.

This was not present on my Galaxy Nexus with 4.3 and various FK versions. There was only a minimal BT wakelock (typically few minutes per hour of connection to car handsfree).

Is this now normal behavior on 4.4? Is the new BT low energy presented by those wakelocks?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 75markus:
i only did what francisco mentioned, change the kgamma_1 section's first value from 119 to 255 -> back to stock colors :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Just a report, although you said otherwise [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], I'm getting a lot of lag in games, I'm using r15 v4 test and tested only the two games I mentioned before, Beach Buggy and Minion Rush, I'm on Cataclysm and tried its stock kernel as well as flashed Slimkat kernel (based on stock kernel), have no lag issues with either of those, flash your kernel and getting stutters at regular intervals. I've only had my phone for two days and haven't flashed anything besides ROM and the kernels I've mentioned
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] i860:
Hi

Also a small lag on Dead trigger 2 with r15 latest version.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
The problem with beach buggy is it hasn't been updated to be optimized with 4.4. You can mimic stock kernel in per app settings. Just open the kernel up on those games and it'll be just like Mpdecision does.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bogusetti:
deleted
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I'm aware of the per app settings but the point of Franco kernel should be great out of the box experience (messing with settings should be optional), I had issues with games on Nexus 4 back in the day and after Franco changed the hotplug algorithm to be more aggressive it gave a great experience
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cvsolidx17:
Longevity wise, how much of an improvement is this kernel on stock ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukas_s:
Barely perceptible. I'm getting no improvements over stock on battery life with r14, and haven't seen any improvements with any of the other releases, either. Functionality is remarkably smoother, though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gparmar76:
Anyone else experience audio distortion every once in a while while increasing the gain and volume boost? Its very random but I had it on my N4 also right before I got the N5...now I have it here with r14.

Oh and by the way Franco....don't ever change these colors back to stock...this is perfect!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Once you flashed this kernel you'll never flash stock again. I mean, there is a reason franco is the most thanked dev on xda. Everything about this kernel is awesome and I can't get why Google didn't hire him, yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] P.Mobile:
over stock this kernel is killin em!! smooth/snappy.. battery life is CRAZY great!! im still on r14.. waiting for r15!! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 75markus:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukas_s:
Not trolling, definitely serious.

On stock kernel, I was getting 5 hours SoT. On Franco r14, I'm getting between 4.25 and 5 hours SoT, depending on whether I've played Final Fantasy 4 that day or not.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tdagraca:
I read that some people are experiencing gamma issues in r14 ....as in the colors are off. Anybody have a screenshot it this problem? I wanna root and get this kernel but it'll mess up ota comparability... I've never had a nexus device but I've rooted and converted my HTC one into a Google edition and could easily go back to stock because if the files HTC have on the website.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fredfox_uk:
No gamma issue, the kernel contains the colour settings preferred by the dev. It's possible to tweak these colour settings using a couple of tools, these are discussed further back in the thread.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nerotix:
You must be trolling or live in fatansy world.. my battery life more then doubled compared to stock.. getting 5+ Hours SOT and 1d and 20h off the charger......

Do you know what the Max setting I can put there is ? Or is it just 100
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
The max setting is 100. Where are you feeling like the feedback is lacking? If it's while typing, you can go into the keyboard settings and increase the timer for haptic.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DJ-Tumor:
We are told NOT to do so (several devs including faux wrote that in their posts) since it´s experimental and everybody is still looking out errors in current software I totally agree with him...for now. Though not afraid of trying something new.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mushroom.:
I currently have mine set to the max vibration setting of 100, and can't really feel a difference when it comes to the feedback from the onscreen buttons, or the unlock vibration; they're both still pretty weak.

The keyboard feedback is a little better, but then again I've also changed the vibration time in the settings there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] caribouxda:
Cool story.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] trailblazerz11:
Tried it out, most apps work fine but Whatsapp FC's so no go for me. Interesting nonetheless, hopefully Google helps and encourages devs to make their apps compatible.

Keep in mind it takes quite a bit longer to compile then dalvik caching, so a bit annoying switching.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zainiak:
I'm using it right now. It felt smooth. when I switched back to dalvik, i felt a ton of lag for some reason. So i'm using it for now

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
probably answered before (in another thread)

but is there a reason that android devices use linux kernel 3.4 instead of later versions?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GHOSTIVVI:
Agreed. I was considering returning my nexus 5 with stock battery life, once I flashed this kernel is drastically boosted battery life for me as well. I don't see how any other kernel can come close to this magic Franco cooked up
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mag01:
Well, I'm at r12 which is by many claimed to be the best on this front, and I also see no improvement over stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shreddintyres:
Everyone's experience with battery life is going to be different. and largely is dependent on usage. Spend alot of time reading and web browsing, you are going to experience a longer battery life than some one who say plays resource intensive games. Additionally with certain applications being used no matter what you do they are going to draw alot of power. In my experience the real beauty of Franco's kernels is the extended idle battery life. I normally dont experience any extreme change in SOT but the idle drain is often more than double what i can get on the device stock (ex: galaxy nexus 3 hrs SOT stock but less than 12 hrs total, with FK - 3hrs SOT up to 1.5 days). as long as batterylife doesnt get worse IMO the performance increases from this kernel are well worth it.

What
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukas_s:
You must not know how to read, or must not know that battery life will differ person-to-person, usage-to-usage.

All one has to do is check out the various threads on Reddit, and check the various posts of people in this thread to see that many are NOT seeing improvements in battery life on Franco's Kernel. Many people ARE seeing improvements, and for them, that's a good thing.

You XDA dev worshippers always try to turn a harmless comment about personal experience into a dig against the dev. I have no issue with Franco's work. I'm just reporting MY experience.

So no, not a troll, but call me what you like. Such is the way of XDA these days.

Colours

I've got Franco's r14 installed. My friend has pure stock everything. When we apply the same wallpaper, and hold our phones side by side, we can't see any colour difference at all. Yet everyone talks about Franco having adjusted the colours by default in his kernel...

Can someone provide screenshots comparing stock/franco, or at least provide a better test than looking at wallpapers to see exactly HOW the colours are different? Because I'm either colour blind, or am simply missing it.

Thank you.

That's the input boost freq when you touch the screen it gets boosted to that freq for 1 second before ramping down.

NFC driver is in the Kernel but its 100% stock.

As I said I haven't tested Firefox yet, so I have nothing to say about that atm.

Bluetooth stack is 100% stock. If those wakelocks are present here they are also present on stock Kernel.

Flashify users, here's a new beta from [MENTION=4446775]cgollner[/MENTION] please test.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
For now you have to download separate free app found in Nexus 5 XDA kernel thread, as well as have Franco test r15 v4 or newer (for the latest version of the app).

HERE:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544128

The app was made by Faux kernel developer, but he, Franco and some other guy are all working on this together. Eventually will probably be integrated into Franco kernel app. Ignore the part where it says you need Faux kernel for it to work, it's also compatible with Franco test R15 v4 and newer.

You also need to give the app root access.

Yeah he knows about that, we were just having coffee and we laughed about that. Its easy explanation, if we ask a linux machine the time it returns the time since 1970, he just forgot to add an if clause to change the text to "Never checked before." instead of showing the actual "Last check 43 years ago." :) He's planning on adding Google Drive next after this iteration.

Is "prepare for OTA" coming back to FKU ? It will be good, especially with a help saying what it does and what it doesn't (some people used to mistakenly think it would restore your stock kernel).

And please don't forget the option we discussed in the past to optionally call a user-controlled shell script! So that users can put custom settings to be applied on boot which are not officially in FKU yet. Thanks :)
