I kind of agree with that (also sorry if I can across a bit too strongly :P) if Franco doesn't mind then yeah but if not then like you said there are other threads dedicated to it :)

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

My thoughts on the stock kernel vs Franco kernel.

The stock kernel isn't bad, it's an improvement over the nexus 4 stock kernel. With stock I notice that it's more immediate to react to touch input however it doesn't stay as smooth for add long as Franco, stock ramps up instantly but then didn't feel like it stays up for very long resulting in a not as smooth experience as Franco. The phone feels warmer with the stock kernel. Battery life, I've switched between stock and test 7 and there is a very noticeable improvement with Franco kernel compared to stock. If Franco could have the instant ramp up to touch_input_freq like stock, without too much battery usage then Franco would be better in every aspect, all in all Franco is a great improvement over stock and this is before he even has a nexus 5 to play with yet :) thanks Franco! Keep up the great development.

One thought for Franco cursing at dhl delivery speed...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tibere86:
I'm assuming you are using default settings on Franco kernel, correct?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
Completely stock :) but since I did that test I have changed my runtime to ART (I kind if waited for a day to write that post :P )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zainiak:
Flashed test7, seems to be smoother than stock, as always! Great work. Using ART btw.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Max is 100.

FK has module support.

Thank you :) I'm gonna change it to FKU when I finish Pringles! :)

Are you sure using FK it doesn't ramp up automatically when you touch? My hook is directly coded into the input_report function in the touch driver, I doubt I can't make it any faster. There is only one way that I think of to make it even more instant, but I didn't want to place the hook directly into the interrupt context. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

Yes I am... I thought I would get it today, so the hell with DHL :)

Hahah, yeah I when I went up to r15, i was getting a faster battery drain without changing any of the settings. I switched back to r13 which seemed to perform best for me. Minimum frequency seemed to be stable at 300 Mhz..so I dunno. I've been pretty happy here...Great job Franco..I'm sure you've made a shat ton of updates since 13, but this has been phenomenal for me. Here are my settings:

UV -50

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Treshy:
for some odd reason the /dev/cpuctl/cpu.notify_on_migrate seems to be 0 by default. I don't know if this is like its supposed to be. i changed the value to 1 with es file exporer and then I flashed r16 test and after the reboot it was 0 again.

If I build from the source and put back the r14 gamma change, what will be the long term impact on my device?

Will it break anything? e.g.. damage the display?

I can live with software glitches.. but don't want to damage my hardware.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeppacher:
Well the reason the gamma change was nixed was because faux pointed out that the number franco changed wasn't supposed to produce a color change which means there was something going wrong at that setting causing a color change in the screen. Since we can't know what exactly is doing this franco saw it wise to remove the gamma changes. That being said if you head to fauxs gamma reverse engineering thread you can download a gamma changing app and with a little persistence you could probably tweak the colors to your liking safely. These gamma values can safely be changed (just read fauxs thread).

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mythenmetz:
Hey,

i'm also having this jumping cpu on r15. But i would be interested if someone really tested if this has a noticeable effect on the battery. Just because the cpu jumps around, doesn't mean that's automatically bad i think. Because if the cpu gets some work, it will do this work faster when the cpu is higher, and if this jumping means a perfomance advantage and not much battery drain, it is fine like it is.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] puccini:
First many thanks for this Kernel. Excellent work and communication from this dev.

I'm thinking the same. Running r15 doesn't noticeably cause more drain by the frequency jumps. Not completed full cycle yet.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Also seen today that 4.4.1 looks like it's on the way soon.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tsubus:
I have to agree with the reports on r15. Even though I can see the cpu jump around a bit on idle, it doesn't really seem to affect battery drain that much. I can't seem to feel the difference from regular usage.

edit: weird, full-wiped phone, installed a ROM (personal build of AOSPA), installed gapps, installed franco kernel r15 and I noticed that the stock frequency is set to 300-1190. Any idea what could be causing this?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shawnaye:
I wasn't implying otherwise, just thought you might have overlooked it.

Anyway, regarding your freq settings, try clearing FKU, reboot, wait for awhile before checking the app again.

Anyone else think it's weird how I could use screenshots from my phone as desktop backgrounds on my PC?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] finesse:
Thanks for your recent update. I've flashed r15 and so far it's great, however, here is some feedback for your consideration:

- Whilst listening to music with headphones - there's an audible interference in the background.

- Compared with r13, there seems to be a noticeable increase in phone temperature during light usage.

Again, this is just for your consideration, not to be negative.

Stock 4.4 ROM, rooted etc.

For those having odd battery drains - are you using a wireless charger?

I seem to have odd battery usage sometimes, that a reboot fixes, and I seem to recall an issue on the N4 where the powermanager would occasionally flip out when using a wireless charger, and wouldn't let the N4 deep sleep...

In those cases, Android OS shows as the primary culprit. Wi-fi on/off, location on/off, doesn't seem to matter.

Deep sleep doesn't happen while charging on any android powered device. The CPU will sit at lowest possible speed during idle times.

To intentionally piss off every single noob which cannot read to make them look for an answer on their own

Wouldn't everyone rather this thread be easier to follow? All these pages in here is crazy for Franco to find anything for him that is actually kernel related. I'd much rather all these posts be in the thread which is much more suited to these convsations away from the development forum which I think a lot of people forgot that's what this is for.

I'm not talking about while charging. The N4 issue was when you used a wireless charger, then took the phone off the charger, deep sleep wouldn't occur. The powermanager would hang, causing a wakelock labeled as Android OS in the battery status.

I'm seeing something similar, but its very sporadic. I'm not sure if its the same type of issue, hence why I asked if anybody else with odd battery issues are using wireless charging.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dark_ente:
No i don't use wireless charter but still had this weird wakelock. I've switch to stick and the wakelock is gone. Switch to r16 and its there. Can't identity the culprit since nothing is found in BBS, just PowerManagerService

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Transporter:
Hi community,

I was running Bricked kernel before switching to R15 and I have to say that there's a huge difference in battery life, Franco is definitely better, the difference is huge.

I'm plugging my phone during the night and with the Bricked kernel, at noon, I was at 70%.

Here, with Franco's, it's 5pm and I'm at 88% !!!! I'm impressed.

One last thing, I'm not here to start a fight and bad comments, I used Bricked kernel for years when I was on Samsung and it was simply the best. Here, it's different.

Did Franco lower screen voltage? My sot battery with heavy usage improved from 2.5 hrs to approx 4.5 from r14 to r16 test.

Very heavy usage, listening to music while gaming at the same time for ~2 hours, browsing with chrome on HSPA, downloaded 4gb of data on WiFi, auto sync and auto brightness on.

Flashing through terminal emulator

Hello,

A few pages back, a helpful poster said that we can flash the .img file through the terminal emulator using these commands:

su

dd if=/path/to/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

I don't doubt that the poster has tried it and it works fine.

But being paranoid, and probably overly cautious, I would like confirmation from Franco himself that this method is acceptable to flash the kernel. I don't have my USB cable at the moment, so I can't use fastboot... But I also can't wait to try r16 test. :)

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pchtc:
i can confirm that from the n4 forum that this was a reported issue

i do not believe it is kernel related though

Fantastic Kernel - love it - thanks. Just some feedback. Aside from the colour revert which was a shame as the settings (whatever they were) made my phones whites great - I'm also getting some judder when swiping across homescreens. Otherwise seems slightly less snappy than r15 test. Maybe placebo with the general speed - but definitely some judder on homescreen swipes which is odd. Previously I had the r15 test - flashed to r15 (release) directly using FKU app. Should I have cleared some settings between flashes? Can't wait for that colour control app to be included! - loved it from my N4. :)
