[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
Brightness on 20% (I'm indoors) one email account, everything is on, Location on High Accuracy, Social Networks syncing ALL the time (except Facebook) Google Now is on, in other words, "features" were not turned off, the phone was NOT "dumbed down"

Here is what I did, I use this kernel. it is slightly more battery friendly than stock with Franco's settings, but with the plethora of options, you could create a huge gap between this and stock with regards to battery, I also used the available tools to make sure I DON'T have unnecessary wakelocks

This was to show that the phone was not dumbed down to achieve this, and even if someone decides to turn off features that they don't use on the phone they paid for, there is nothing wrong with that either, I am trying to figure out when it became wrong to use your smartphone in a smart way:confused:

I am no big fan of the SOT posts myself, but it irks me when someone jumps out and tells person that their SOT is useless because they switched something off, hence why I am doing the thing I am not a fan of

Oh and people, enjoy your device, stop looking at stats, and plug in when close to a power outlet

EDIT: Not going to respond to any "what are your settings" questions

I have cluttered this thread enough with this post already

scrolling seems much more fluid with the r25, it is a placebo effect or has anyone else noticed? :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nerotix:
For some reason, every version after r20 hasnt been to same.. specialy when sleeping.. with r20 I lost about 1/2% max during 6/8 hours of sleep.. now I lose around 5/6% during 6/8 hours of sleep. I tried people's tweaks and haven't changed anything regarding to what I had with r20 but still I don't get the amazing stats I had back then. I was getting 2 days 15 hours with 5 hours SOT. Not saying r25 is bad or anything, it just seems a little less deep sleep friendly.

Anyways, franco, thanks a ton for making this the best kernel there is by far <3
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
I am still not sure whether lux saves battery or drains it.. Anyone has experience with this? I didn't try the rom with only franco patches for brightness..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eluspo:
Running the same set up as well :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] buggerthis:
I'm not sure about the subzero overlay.. I just use that in very dim or completely dark conditions.

Under normal conditions I find the stock auto-brightness to be too bright at low light levels and not bright enough at higher ones. Since the majority of my use is indoors (as is nearly everyone's, I'm sure), the lower display brightness lux can be set to does make a difference to battery life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
That's why it's a test :p, though it feels great to me, even gaming

Sorry I meant r25, long Christmas :o
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ben36:
Can someone point me to the r25 changelog please... There's sooooo many pages since I've last looked
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Hi,

You can find the changelog in the OP, on Franciscofranco's G+.

I believe it is and has always been linked to the OP.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] muEcke*:
I can't figure out why r25 doesn't like my device. I wiped my device completely and just installed stock 4.4.2 + root + franco kernel r25, all settings stock and I experience the same laggs like before with Purity. Not usable on my device... very strange...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] donwhall70:
I don't turn anything off and mine lasts from 5am to 11pm with extra to spare. Battery is more than adequate.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
I should probably explain the tweaks i've played with:

input_freq is still the same so you still get that overkill fluidity when touching the screen.

boostpulse_duration reduced so input_freq doesn't hang around for so long when its not needed, i kept reducing this until system monitor showed only a slight delay before going down again, but not too short of a delay.

Higher threshold for the intermediate speed (hispeed_freq) - but clocked at a higher frequency so it gets that bandwidth boost or whatever.

Higher threshold for the above intermediate speed.

Clocks ramp down faster (min_sample_time), looked better to me on system monitor.

hotplug - only use quad core when absolutely needed eg when unlock screen or very intense gaming (this one is more of an experiment than anything else, to test that "android only needs a dual-core" argument from a pages back - i'd prefer to make my own judgement and at least give it a try before dismissing it completely, as you never know before you try right? ;).....)

Performance so far feels the same, it does feel a bit cooler though which I prefer as my phone is naked except for a glass protector. There's no reason why battery life should be worse, but i haven't got proper tests yet.

I recommend most people just flash and forget, but i'm only sharing my current setup for the few that are interested, nothing more...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 5FOOTER:
Try this stock ROM Franco kernel and under developer look for the 3 animation settings put them to .5 and see if your still lagging at all.

99 problems but Franco kernel is not one. N5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vsot13:
I'm interested, I'm on first battery circle with your settings: 4.5 hours SOT and 26% still to go. Buterly smooth. I'll post a screenshots, when I'm done. Thank you

Is this normal for this phone?

Any fix for this I'm on stock 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Franco I think I had reboot when my alarm went off cause I woke up way after my alarm was supposed to go off and I remember setting it the day before. And when I checked battery stats it showed my phone was on for only around 1 and half even though I unplugged it the night before. I did have my phone UV 625mv at 300MHz maybe that was the cause more than likely? but I never had the issue of my phone reseting in the middle of the night before so I just wanted to see if the last Kmsg has anything to say about it or if anyone can let me know why or give me an idea why. Thanks!

Here's the Last_kmsg http://pastie.org/8578432
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Fix for what?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andrew149:
The kernel having 2 hour wakelocks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] filthygoat223996:
That does the trick
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Dunno,I see the alarmtimer failed to set an rtc, dunno why.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Is that why it reset? but hmm I'll increase Volage on 300MHz and hopefully that doesnt happen again.

I will be when mpdecision can be fully turned off and Franco's hot plug comes into play
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
We've tried hotplug, I think he's going to wait until he has the device for that. Getting the hotplug going was hours of headache. But, we're working on something else that will be awesome right now... ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Yup stock rom. So basicly say your on lock screen and swipe right to open the camera it opens the camera application to take a picture and you can see through the veiw finder through the lens, well mine just stays black. No image, front or rear cameras. Only way I know to fix it temporarily is reboot, it works for a time and takes and saves images but after a while stops working again. That's using the stock camera application. Again not suggesting its to do with this kernel but having no luck finding anyone with potential answers. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2519652 is the only thread I can find if anyone has ideas I invite you to post there :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Hmm, I would try a custom ROM to see if it still occurs. It sounds more like a software issue than a hardware issue. I personally am not on Franco Kernel at the moment but will switch over to try out its N5 kernel once the hot plugging algorithm is implemented. I'm using Cataclysm and is working pretty well, has 90% of the features I want (percentage is a estimate)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Thanks but I'm inclined to say if it isn't right on stock rom I'm not sure it will work on a custom rom where I wouldn't imagine anything is touched on the camera.apk. I'll try again on stock kernel, not that I'm deserting this thread and I'm a fan of Franco's work but just for general trouble shooting.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zephiK:
It wouldn't hurt to give a custom rom a try. You never know ;) .. you can always revert back if it didn't resolve it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] saywhat4118:
I've had this too. Dont remember if it happened before this kernel or not but happens from the lock screen only. Basically want to take a quick picture and use the swipe to get the camera out but its just black. You see the ui but the image finder is black. I don't have to reboot though, just press home and click on camera from the home screen app it works as normal. Just randomly from lock screen I have the issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dazz87:
I am having the same issue with the camera not launching when sliding the lock icon to the right. I know it was working before. I flashed the kernel this afternoon. In my case, I really dont care cause I barely use the camera. If I need to take a picture I will just use the app on the home screen.

[MENTION=1545164]fracisc[/MENTION]ofranco currently, what are the differences between your test kernel and stock kernel. Searched and still quite confused?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Do a search for his posts. Each time he has updated the kernel he makes a post describing what he has changed. You can also look on his GIT to see what he's been up to.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't have the energy to answer you, sorry.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] .dan:
so it seems like a restoration of a nandroid backup of just boot, or flashify would not revert back to stock since files have been renamed. correct? a reflash of rom and gapps seems the only way, short of knowing exactly which files were renamed.

ok, for this kernel, franco posted it in post 5700 which files were renamed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
How do you edit these settings?

Device: Nexus 5 16gb Black

ROM: AOSPA 4.0BETA w/ Franco r25
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shreddintyres:
Franco this kernel sucks!!!

In all seriousness tho its says alot about the kernel that people only have personal battery optimizations to complain about with your kernel. Fantastic work, thank you. Your attention to detail and zero bs attitude are the reason I run your work on both my primary devices.

Again thank you and keep up the amazing work.

Have a happy holidays have a few drinks on me.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
To answer your question from my understanding NO this is NOT normal! The question is what is the cause, if you do a kmsg log for Franco maybe he will look at it for you ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] connecorn:
Okay...after turning "TouchControl" off. My juice became extremely incredible in an instant.

I charged my n5 up to 100 and then I went to bed. Then, 8 hours later, I still get 98% remaining! Thanks for your tuning.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andrew149:
I'll probably do a log soon, I just reboot the phone if I catch the issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
@franciscofranco - just had a thought for your app. If you had a "current settings sharing" ability that can be exported to SDcard and restored it would be awesome. 2 benefits: when wiping ROM - all custom settings and boot preferences set by user can be restored easily + we can share our setups on this thread easily as well :)

My custom setup inspired by @Nbsss

CPU Manager > Governor Control:

above_hispeed_delay: 150,000
boostpulse_duration:100,000
go_hispeed_load:95
hispeed_freq:1497600
min_sample_time:10000

CPU Manager > Hotplug control:

first_level: 99

Max CPU: 1497

UV:
300mhz to 675mV
All others -50mV

Working really well for me - no lag & super battery! Post back on your results if you try this :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ccombe:
Thanks, just reflashed and it's working, guess my phone was on holiday mode ;)

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] I was wondering if you can or if anyone can verify that when setting a negative (-) number in headset gain boost it raises the gain volume instead of decreasing it and when setting a positive number it actually decreases the gain volume.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
That would be great, I've memorised the numbers and most frequencies like 1574400 from using the app so much lol

Oh and the other two cores still kick in if load is intensive, even when Hotplug is set to 99, which is good I guess

eg. See screenshot where I had titanium backup in the background and browsing at same time
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigbear6708:
Can anyone bounce the default CPU values off me. I swear I thought Franco shipped slightly uc... right now my min is 2.2g. Also.. Setting input boost to 500k is like magic
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] miketn:
I ran into one of those first world problems. I've been snowboarding all day and every time I pull out my phone, it was running so cool that it would reboot. I'm not blaming the kernel haha, just a bit annoying. And my friends who have other nexus devices (nexus 4 and gnex) didn't have these problems so it wasn't really the temperature. Anyway, still happy with this kernel, rather it run cool than too hot anyway!

Lg g2's 100% brightness = N5's 60% brightness..

So when you put n5 @20% its like g2 @35%..

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
Hmm, this kernel seems really interesting... And Franco seems like the kind of developer I like. :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
Yup, seeing the same here. Have had no issues so far and things are working great :) Hopefully more people can report back so that we can help franco with some more optimized default settings for this kernel (not that it is bad right now but progress is always good!):good:

On a serous note- have fun buddy :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
Are you referring to input boost freq?? Where mine is set at 1574400
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
Most likely boostpulse_duration
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
What are the benefits if any and is there any downside to this like major battery drain?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
You can see its effect on system monitor, increasing this value makes it stay at the input_boost_freq for longer, thus draining more battery as it could have reached 300mhz faster.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Shes not here, I can look around :D thanks to who sponsored beers, Im on my 6th, couldnt be happier eheh

Does anyone else find the ringtone/notification volume a little loud?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nbsss:
I think the new kernel in 4.4.1 made changes to increase the speaker volume, you can just decrease the volume though :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] teh_g:
Hmm, can I put negative values in FKU? Having my notification volume just above vibrate is really loud even in a quiet room, but maybe a negative one or two will get it a little quieter.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] droid@xda:
Lol! 5 hours SOT is easily achievable on my N5! All i do is set brightness at around 30% when at home, automatic when outside, keep wifi off when outside and unless I know there's a wifi network I can connect to. Keep NFC and BT totally off as I don't use it. Keep HP cloud printing off. Voice call volume at 80%. Location history and reporting off. Location services to Battery saving unless I need high accuracy. Google's wifi scanning off etc. And most important part- cellular coverage at my home and office is really good. I always get full bars. This is important because low or no network coverage really draws too much out of battery. And with this setup and normal phone usages like daily 1-2hr calls, few SMS, whatsapp, 2-3hrs of web browsing mostly over wifi, occasional gaming, occasional skype etc, I usually get 5hr+ screen on time on battery range of 100% to 5%. I fully charge my phone every morning and by the time I go to bed, my phone shows 5%-20% juice left and having SOT of 4.5-5.5 hr. Will post screenshot soon. BTW I am on stock ROM and Franco R24.

Your phone shouldn't get that hot with Franco kernel. It has thermal throttle which in my case is really nice. I played heavy duty games and my device never reach over 40°C. the max for my use is around 35.6°C and that's with heavy gaming. With stock I had way over 40°C and up.

Fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-hammerhead.IMG

^that should be the twrp recovery. Also depending on what you rename your twrp.img

Either I usually flash su through twrp after I flash twrp. You can also edit flash-all.bat with notepad++ find fastboot -w update and delete -w then save. Now you can basically just cmd flash-all.bat and it will flash everything without wiping your device.
