Thanks, i ask cause it seems 5.0.1 (LRX22C) has an updated kernel.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] - When is your grand appearance to the nex6? The PAM is being sorely missed :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
He had to wait in until his arrives from Amazon (A couple of days after Christmas) :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _raz_:
What's wrong, cpu max setting reverts to only 1497 MHz, even when i set it manually to 2265 MHz. It goes nicely to 2265, but an hour later I again see it's down to 1497. What gives?

Running LRX21O (bigxies's rooted version) with r68.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] icethegreat:
For real, i feel like a crackhead dying for his fix...ive delayed rooting/unlocking til I can get a hold of a decent ROM and franco

Dang, sux that he hasnt been able to get one over there yet. Will continue on Hold Pattern :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] blueren:
PAM works over stock kernel. Well that's something! :) But i'd be wise to at least do the oem unlock if you've not done so already
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] icethegreat:
Yea, im more interested in his kernel and modifications than PAM. Been lazy about getting the unlock done tho...dont feel like redoing my stuff right now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] silvan g:
Your probably thermal throttled
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _raz_:
Thanks, checked that too. Also, in the q&a section of this thread I read that reflashing kernel might help.

Reflashed kernel and wiped fku, and presto, things seem to be in order.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
I just flashed r68 and installed the paid FKU 11.59 and noticed that the font in a lot of UI letters and apps has changed/has a black border. This also happens in the quicksettings toggles or Facebook. Does anyone know what it is and how can I revert it? Uninstalling the FKU or reboot did not help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kevtrysmoddin:
Did you snack high contrast text in accessibility?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
Thank you, kind sir. It was indeed checked, although I could swear this was not the case before flashing :)

I'm fairly sure that he has the same issues detecting the foregroup app that Tasker has been having: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/DiIQm1ctX3w
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] msgfromside3:
Maybe, but it detects PAM itself just fine. Something I would rather find weird unless it has very special logic for PAM itself. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] msgfromside3:
Hmm... I thought it was the default behavior of the kernel since a few versions ago. That is, set the max scaling freq to lower freq (I think it was half) but have all 4 cores online all the time. Is it not true any more? :)

BTW, I am trying to figure out why my phone gets slower and slower (mostly UI response) after a few days use without reboot with L... Has anyone experienced it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] arpitnathany:
Yes there is a memory leak in lollipop which causes the system to use more and more ram the longer the phone is running, so after a few days of use you will find that the phone is laggy and slow, a restart will usually fix it. Only solution for now is to restart every two or three days. You can check system usage yourself by going to settings apps running.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] msgfromside3:
Thanks and I am aware of this. It is just that I didn't notice it be that bad with my n7. I don't use it very often (only when I am home) but I don't reboot it for more than a week. I wonder if 5.0.1 has the fix - my n7 is running 5.0.

Let me check on the memory though. Thanks.

Edit: BTW, I sideloaded n5 without reset whereas for n7, I sideloaded the entire thing which resets everything. That was one factor I was wondering of.

Oh and I just recall that I can't no longer use Now Launcher with n7 on L. I get lagged so bad. Maybe that is another factor. BTW, I don't find much difference in memory consumption except Google Search takes up 100mb on phone vs 18mb on n7.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] federikk90:
End of development for this kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
Not sure where you got that idea from ;)

Franco's got 5 or so other devices that 'need' kernels and he's actively working on FKU. You've just gotta give him time :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daniel84cs:
Even if it is not updated for more days is still the best kernel for our Nexus, I love Franco Kernel .... <3

xTraSmooth 2.6.3 Powered By Franco Kernel R68
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
not all that impressive... I've been using cataclysm and elementalX for the past week, and when I tried, I got 24h of usage with 4h30min screen on time - and that is 4 hours of watching youtube videos and streaming twitch videos, unlike your usage. I had around 20% at the end of that. I say franco needs to put alot of work, the current state of the kernel is far from what it was when he was putting out updates for 4.4.4. But that's just my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daniel84cs:
Not all that impressive.....no.....????..Post your screen with Catalyst and ElementalX
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
I'm sorry but you cannot compare chatting with video streaming as a battery drain. One is considered light to moderate use, while the other is heavy. My point was that franco has some things to work on, his android 5 kernel, at this point, is not up to par with the competition. As for roms, It's a personal preference. I have tried your rom, and it's by no means bad, it's actually quite good, but I like cataclysm a tad bit more :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daniel84cs:
I do not speak of the Roms, exclusively Kernel, I do not think chatting arrivals ever at 6.30 min of SOT streaming video uses less CPU than chatting on Facebook, Tapatalk, Chrome and Whatsapp simultaneously running ....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _raz_:
Well.... I do remember something in that vein, too. I just wanted to set the max freq to be the real max, instead of it being roughly half of it. After the reflash, this seems to work, whereas earlier it defaulted back to 14XX MHz.

And yes, slowdown after a few days without reboot is present here too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
You are forgeting about the GPU my friend :) It uses alot of power too. I would like to apologize for the heavy OT.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daniel84cs:
Personally, when I watch videos on YouTube have very low power consumption and I think we can overcome 7h SOT ..... I'll do a test and let you know ...;) ... Good day friend .... :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
I am very interested in your results! Let me know how it goes please. And I hope I did not offend you in any way, it was not my intention. I also hope you will share your settings to achieve such great SOT, as I am unable to come close to even 6h with youtube. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daniel84cs:
My setting is simple:

- Power saving profile If necessary balanced or performance with FKU beta.

- My UV Table.

All my android and kernel setting are on my first page topic.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kenpen:
Hi guys, I just rooted my nexus 6 and was wondering if there is a kernel version I can use with stock rom
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] msgfromside3:
This is N5 thread. Please don't come here with N6 - we will all get jealous. :D

I don't think franco has N6 kernel released yet. You might want to check on his G+, which I've found much easier to communicate with him.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 5FOOTER:
No Franco kernel yet for the N6 I'm waiting also. It just runs great on my N5 and N7.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hello r69!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daniel84cs:
Thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]....:)...Eagerly awaiting an update, although the R68 went really well .. I'm sure this will be even better .... :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Isley_:

For those that may be having bootloops....

As an FYI, I've been using FK since GNex days (just to prevent noobness replies) but was experiencing bootloops with r65 and up with 5.0. I've searched but haven't found the reason why and seen a few posters having bootloops as well with no replies.

For those that may be having bootloops (if on 5.0 using r65 and up) and are afraid to ask, try clearing FKU data or any Kernel App's data as a setting may be causing the bootloops. I did this and now have r69. Man all the smoothness I've been missing.....

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChriKn:
I have been getting strange reboots since r69... I just wanted to pay this here to know if I am the only one... I will reflash the zip to see if it fixes anything
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
Anyone else having issues with Franco kernel on Euphoria 1.0
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aeroseek:
Flashed r69 few hours ago. All was good until just few minutes ago got random reboot. Then bootloop constantly. Even now.

Trying to get to recovery and it bootloops that.

Trying to get into bootloader and bootloops there too.

How do I stop it? lol

I've never seen anything like this. Running pure stock and franco.

EDIT: Not kernel related. Seems my power button is getting stuck on constantly thereby rebooting. Crap.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MaxNXS:
Using FKU beta with r69 on stock 5.0. When I try to set up per app profiles, I cannot see any of the Google Apps on the list. I tried to clear data, but they are still not on the list. Any idea?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
in the non beta... Top right corner, three dots lined vertical, show system apps.

not sure about the beta though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChriKn:
I have the same thing (see two posts above yours)... It would be funny both out devices malfunction the same exact moment (after flashing r69)...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
On the Beta I haven't yet added that toggle.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mibtnt:
I think when I installed FKU on lollipop it came with an extra battery. My battery life went from crappy to manageable. Thanks Franco!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mo123456789:
I love this kernel. Currently getting 4hours SOT with 16hours battery. Do you guys think this is OK?

What ROM partners nicely with this kernel? I'm still on stock!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kellybrf:
on stock 5.0, just updated to r69 yesterday and I get a force close anytime I open tapatalk. if I clear the cache I can use it again, but the next time I try to open it (even from the recents list ) I have to clear cache again. went back to r68 and it's working fine again
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
Not kernel related, not sure why you think it would be.

Sent from my Android 5.0 Lollipop + ElementalX powered Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kellybrf:
it started immediately when I updated to r69, and stopped immediately when I rolled back to r68 with no other changes. the only variable is the kernel, so I'm not sure why you think it's not
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gustavo_pr:
It happened to me last night also. Bootloops when pressing the on/off button and connecting to charger. Turned it off, charged overnight, and reverted to r68.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ZacksBuilds:
People keep having reboots... I haven't had anything :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
I know it's not because i know without a shadow of a doubt that the kernel would have no effect on whether tapatalk opens or not, especially if clearing caches makes it work, if only once.

Apps and their caches install and run in userspace, not kernelspace.

Question about bootloop and logs?

Would requesting the last_kmsg log after a bootloop using this (cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt) will be usable information to determine if its kernel related?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] A4ko:
Yep! Navigate to /proc and find last k-msg and upload it to http://pastie.org. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gustavo_pr:
http://pastie.org/pastes/9774711/text?key=ef2e3jzs63c4gkoib0pwa

The thing is I powered off the phone after it bootlooped. Would it still show the cause of bootloop?

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Android_Mailson:
this kernel works on any AOSP ROM Lollipop??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rabaker07:
How does Franco r69 compare to the Stock Lollipop Kernel and exactly how do you measure this? Can you display this with statistical comparisons of performance, battery life, smoothness (perhaps frames per second with a graph to show dips and peaks?), stability, etc?

Exactly what makes Franco Kernel worth flashing over Stock for you?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
To be honest, since everyone uses their devices differently, has different apps installed, it is not possible to give you a precise answer.

The empirical data you're asking for would be best generated on your own device with your own usage habits.

I can give you some general information however anyone who does things differently can easily question the accuracy of my personal experience, observations and results.

My best advice is to make a backup with recovery. Flash the kernel and give it a spin. This really is the best thing for you to do and that way you will truly see if this kernel suits your needs and usage.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
Should with most. I do know that it does in fact work with Stock, and Terminus AOSP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] arpitnathany:
Everyone having bootloops revert to twrp 2.8.1

Latest twrp 2.8.2 is having bootloop problems
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rabaker07:
Certainly results may vary. But what do you think? Why do you use Franco Kernel?

What are your results?

Better battery life? Smoother, faster performance?

Or is it just for the customization aspect (ability to easily alter colors, volume, vibration, clockspeed, voltage)?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Ok, since you asked. I currently don't use it on my N5. I don't have to. The stock kernel is perfectly fine for my usage. I can get 8+ hours of battery and 1.5~2 hours of screen on time. This is all I need because I pretty much always have an outlet or pc for charging nearby.

Instead of changing kernels, I just got into the habit of charging my phone if the device drops below 50% and I'm near an outlet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Onismurai:
What you think it's fine to do is just a PITA for another. I personally really hate to charge my phone twice a day, and if I have to do so, I just think about buying a new model with better battery life.

I used FK before and to be honest, the result is YMMV. Sometime I got really good battery life with it, and sometime it's just bad. Same usage every day and not a single wake-lock.

What I realize is, KK is overall got better battery life. We are sacrifice our battery life for a beautiful material theme, which is impress me at first, now just annoying. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kamild_:
Where can I find a list of features for this kernel? Or maybe you could tell me if F2FS and USB Fastcharge support will be added sometime in the future? :)

Maybe could someone implement F2FS to the newest version of Franco? Or at least tell me how can I do this myself?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Android_Mailson:
But I tried to automatically install the kernel through the app, but not installed !! I'm using NX ROM by Anderson Aragão!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
All I can say is make sure you have busybox installed. Even if you do, I'd still recommend manually flashing the kernel through various means. CWM or TWRP recommended, but you should be able to fastboot it to your device too if your boot loader is unlocked. (Again, if you're unlocked though you have the ability to install a custom recovery, and can even use the app Flashify in conjunction with the flashable kernel .zip, requires TWRP or CWM)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Android_Mailson:
Thank you! I'll try ..

It's alright. Bare with me. :)

Simply download and flash the latest SuperSU, it is here.

http://download.chainfire.eu/638/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.39.zip

After a reboot you should have root back and still have Franco Kernel installed of course.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery or CF Auto Root in fastboot after you flash the kernel.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Why is DIAG related to a band hack? It's an option for debug not suitable for production, Google disabled it before pushing 5.0.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ltdrev:
Sorry to bother with that it was a question not a demand :D

Basically to execute the hack I have to reconnect device as a com port, in adb shell by diag mode < setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb>

Still getting 5-6 reboots a day. It really began with r69... I tried going back to r68, going back to TWRP 2.8.1.0... It's completely incomprehensible...

Can such reboots happen from themselves ? Like if the phone got dropped ? Sometimes it reboots just by laying in a corner...

I will try to give a last kmsg the next time. Is there anything other I can do ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ben_pyett:
Capture and post the logs here so that they can be diagnosed
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChriKn:
looked at them. Last reboot was caused by hardware key... Looks like an EMA case...

I would like to sell my "new" Nexus 5 and buy a OnePlus One instead... Do you guys know if there were ever RMA's which were denied (the question is : if I buy an OPO now, may I find myself with a problem if Google refuses my device (which is in mint condition)).

Thanks !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ben_pyett:
One can always try, although as their RMA stock shortens they 'may' enforce tighter guidelines.... But that's pure sure speculation on my part, but would make sense.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hardware key = you forced the reboot yourself :) but the log would be helpful, nothing strange was merged for r69.

Its my error of interpretation of the descritption, I'm not a magician of English, sorry.

100% Free for everyone Confused me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pipusz:
It means that if you have purchased the app previously, you don't have to pay it again. Franco worked hard on this one, but he doesn't want users to buy the app two times. Instead, they can send donations if they want to.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ah I see! Sorry for the confusion :) as the post above correctly states the update is 100% free for existing users, I don't wanna follow some other "famous" developers that are asking for their users to pay for the apps again for these new material-wannable updates. I also don't work for free, I have to eat and pay bills I added a donation page where users can purchase small tokens of appreciation whenever they feel like without any obstruction or limitation on the app (which is already paid so no reason to block features). :)
