I think we discovered earlier not to bother underclocking, it doesn't actually save battery
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
just showing him benchmark scores :cool:

lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Not all of us UC for battery, it's like UV, better for heat.....

Underclocking too much can actually reduce battery... Phone is held in higher frequencies longer than without UC.

What about bootloader.img? Has this not changed?

I would like to update as well and am just a bit confused. Should I get these from the complete image zip or the OTA zip?

Will root be retained after I flash system.img?

Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Not finished...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
You guys didnt get the joke :/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Flyview:
Figured it out myself:

Bootloader hasn't changed. Since we're using franco's kernel, all you have to do is:

1) Download the full nexus 5 4.4.3 image

2) fastboot flash radio radio.img (rename it since it's so long)

3) fastboot flash system system.img

4) fastboot flash boot boot-franco.img (Franco's latest kernel, not from the nexus image!)

5) Restore root with CF-AutoRoot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
That might be all that's needed, but I still recommend a full, clean flash, after verifying the checksum of the downloaded image zip... :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
Its okay, I did. :) lol... But yes, do not ask for ETA's... :p

GPU driver

I've installed new qualcomm GPU drivers 5/30/2014 from here: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/updated-driver-binaries-qualcomm-adreno-t2629123 and everything seems to work fine, perhaps even better, but maybe placebo.

Here is a terminal emulator command to check the date of your driver: cd /system/vendor/lib/egl && strings libEGL* | grep Date

The date of mine after 4.4.3 update was 9/13 (or something like that, don't remember exactly) and after flashing new driver is 5/12/14
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] deadlast28:
New test IMG ;)

I did exactly the same to sideload since I blew my update yesterday and this works for me as well. I almost had a heart attack when I couldn't make any call in this morning (I was able to receive one an hour before it), but fortunately TMO was down.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] quiquegabriel:
r52 doesn't work properly on 4.3.3.

I was with 20% battery on r52 and I've flashed stock 4.3.3 kernel and it went up to 38%. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
So? That's userspace.

The bootloader is the same AFAIK.

I'm on my way to a pitch, so r53 goes to the server, officially after we're done. Another FKU beta was pushed today after I woke up. Hopefully I'll be ready for FKU 11.5 production this weekend if time allows.

Nope, it's not new, I just compiled again. It's absolutely the same as the last one.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TR2N:
Since last FKU update the Per-App Modes app is not automatically starting anymore (using it with notification). Maybe a bug or a conflict with FKU?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Smoosh1:
Cool :cool: So if you want to charge your phone without plugging it in you can do this over and over again till you reach 100%? I'll test and report back :fingers-crossed:

Strange...didn't work. :laugh: ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ynksbsbll2:
Is bluetooth still borked for those on 4.4.3? I connect just fine and sometimes it'll play audio for almost 20 minutes without issue, but no matter what it always starts getting super choppy and impossible to listen to. I'm starting to wonder if it's something just between my car and phone that's the issue (seems to work fine with a bluetooth speaker, only mild chopping here and there), but I've yet to test it between my N7 and car so I'm not sure
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BTT8:
Would it be accurate to say that some of the best ways to save battery is to underclock, under volt, turn off Google Now, and disable automatically sync?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Ignore UC and UV, disabling gnow, location services, and auto sync yes... Track your wakelocks and app usage, then use Pam to take the misbehaving apps..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaqaL06:
i got wakelock in airplane mode . is it possible ?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
Yeah. All airplane mode does is shut off the wireless data radios. Rogue apps can still happen since its local on the phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Underclock helps a lot, but it's not a miracle worker.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sam razzy:
Just to make sure, is there any new test build for 4.4.3 Rom?? Sorry if this question is been asked for an eternal time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] neFAST:
Anyone using Madhi ROM here? I installed it yesterday and I'm not sure which Kernel it comes with. Was wondering if using franco's one is recommended.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Playe:
Yeah I'm running the 4.4.3 update and t53 and it runs great!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Punkid:
i tried elementalx first, then flashed t53 and it would go into a bootloop. I think this has happened to me before....

Can someone comment on whether flashing franco after elementalx works or not ?

im using Mahdi 4.4.3 btw

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derPianist:
Thanks so I am not even going to bother messing around with that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
Yeah, I had UC the 300MHz step since it stays in that step more than most, and I think I only gained about 10 more minutes. Not really worth it IMO.

Now that I have wireless charging pads all over the place (thank you AT&T for selling them at $5) then Ill just throw my phone on a plate if Im getting low.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
After our FacesIn pitch, here's r53!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] neriamarillo:
The charging pad is the Nokia one? If so they're out of stock! [emoji30]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ebahena:
If I'm still running 4.4.2 is it okay to flash r53?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] i860:
Just flash r53 on 4.4.2 and no problem so far.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
Yeah. One store in my city had 6. I had the girl hold them for me. When I got there, she just brought one out and I asked her how many she had. She said six, so I said I want 4. She just looked at me and then slowly went and got 3 more. I asked if that was okay, and she finally said "Yeah, I didnt realize you wanted so many,I was just going to buy the other 5".

Because I bought 4, I got a 25% discount on top of the deal. Only cost me $16.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Right, so you're the reason Canadian stores can't get any qi chargers..... *grumbles*
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
Im buying them from AT&T. AT&T bought them first. They are the reason Canadian stores cant get them. :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] neriamarillo:
Lucky you. Everything around me for a while is completely sold out and online too lol.

I had to buy the overly expensive Google ones.... (Two when I got my n4, one more with the n5)

Gutted one of my 2 orbs, genetically blended it with a ram x-grip, and now have a qi charger in my truck.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
One charger has an MSRP of $49.99 and I bought 4 for $16. :D

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
Hi Franco, couple of FKU suggestions, when you hold the latest kernel version circle, it would be cool if it refreshed (Then you could get rid of the refresh button in the top right) also it would be nice if when you went into the file explorer and flashed a kernel image, instead of it telling you to reboot it would be cool if it popped up with 'would you like to reboot now?' Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
*shock*
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
It would also be cool if you changed your avatar.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
It would be very cool if you would fix the air conditioner in my truck
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
1 - I can make it to refresh, but not sure if that would be intuitive enough without some visual feedback saying "hey long press to refresh". What's the problem about the icon the actionbar?

2 - Sure, I can add that!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
You live in Canada. Its always cool up there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
It would also be cool if no one was bothered ;) Hehe, I like it and before this icon it was exactly the same because the main reason for me joining XDA was for Franco kernel on the N4 and N7 :) it seemed appropriate to have an icon that showed my support for the best custom kernel for a Nexus :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
There's this thing called a signature that accepts pictures in it to show support. Im showing support for Franco in my signature. :silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
1 - Good point ;) But imo I think it's cool Hehe but understandably not everyone would know to hold it

2 - Cool thanks! :)

I mainly use XDA on mobile so i can't see any sig's (I don't use it on my PC, I don't like that it doesn't update my current page number if I read, say 2 pages) it gets pointless to remember ;)

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Oh and also red5, just to end this discussion :) Franco doesn't have an issue (at least he didn't even I asked him a while ago ;) ) so it's all good, sorry if it's confusing sometimes :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I think we should all clone your avatar, a whole thread full of Franco icons... :P

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kusie:
Any comments on the GPS problems with R52 /R53 compared to stock kernel or R32? As soon as I change the kernel to the new version GPS is almost unusable, all fine with stock or old version.

Would like to use R53 on my N5 but this is a show stopper.

Tnx,

The search function is less than ideal, and there is so much activity on this thread that there may be ten to 20 new pages of posts within 24 hours. Of course questions will be repeated. Most of the time the answer is yes or no or a few words. But people will instead of just answering, write out snide remarks, long insults, bashes, UTFSEs, etc., and not answer the question which would have taken a lot less time.

Just be polite and answer the question. Seriously.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
i don't have an issue with the search function.

it has more to do with people not wanting to put any effort into finding something out. i can guarantee you that their thought process is 'why should i search for the answer and spend 5-10 minutes reading to find the correct post, when I can simply ask the question, lock my phone and go do something else while the question gets answered for me'

even if they try to search, i bet you that they spend less than 30 seconds reading through posts when they search before giving up and posting the question. no one has any patience anymore. which, ironically enough is exactly why people get ridiculed. the people who read the threads and know what's going on has no patience for someone else who doesn't spend the time to read for themselves

Could you change your name? I don't bother paying attention so I think I'm in a forum for an open source media player.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
A good 70-75 percent of the time the answer is on the previous 2 pages. I don't ask repetitive questions on here, I search and find my answer in almost all cases. Finding the answer to your question CAN be done. Most people just don't want to put forth the EFFORT to look for it. They would rather just ask it for the 10,000th time. It just takes a little trying and people now days don't feel like doing that for some reason. If you can't figure out how to search threads, and use Google, does that person REALLY belong in a development thread??? I doubt it...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rowdyw:
If people are unhappy with XDA's search they should learn to use Google's search function. I've used it several times and almost always find the info I'm looking for.

Try typing this into the Google search bar:

[MENTION=4373053]jb0ne[/MENTION], I'm with [MENTION=5518280]Enddo[/MENTION] with this one ( [MENTION=4782328]Red5[/MENTION] need anyone to call a doctor, or can you handle this shocking revelation?)...

Too many people seem to spend 5 seconds (if that) glance over the top post or two in the results. Notice that they probably used the wrong search terms, drop into the channel, post their question (usually lacking on key information) then drop out of the channel...

We ask for further information, no reply... User comes back a couple days later, asks the same question again, with even less information this time... we ask for clarification *again*, and user disappears again....

Or...

User 1 asks a question,

We answer the question...

10 minutes later, on the same page, immediately below the answer, User 2 asks the same question...

Gets upset when we don't answer....

Repeat with variations....

Those of us who are willing to help, get frustrated by these events...

So we start to filter out those who can't seem to help themselves.

As [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION] has said, this is a Development thread, to which there can be expected a minimum level of knowledge, in my mind, one of those is the ability to troubleshoot your own device, and the ability to use various search engines to help with diagnoses and solutions.

Sure, there is a lot of "chatter" in this thread, (Yes, I'm one of the worst offenders, as [MENTION=5518280]Enddo[/MENTION] loves to point out. :P ) but on topic conversation is still very easy to pick out in searches, occasionally it does take 2 or 3 to find what you're looking for (more on the picky ones)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Fluidification:
Lol. This reminds me of tech support help desks. "Thank you for calling Dell customer service, my name is *pause* Jonathan, I'm calling from *pause* New York, how can we google for you?"

Nonetheless, here's a life lesson.... If you are in need of tech assistance of ANY sort, please Google the problem by using concise yet descriptive phrases. It works.... Google is a great thing.... so go to the google...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Heh, Googling "How to use google" should be required reading....

I don't even use concise descriptive phrases (usually) I just search appropriate keywords... But to each there own.

As long as you get the results you're looking for, the search methodology doesn't matter as much.

Everyone else. :p

Asking in the development thread should be the *last resort* for help, not the first go-to...

If you have searched, and turned up empty, that's fine, just let us know what your search terms were so we can point you in the right direction, suggesting search terms. Don't just come in demanding answers. :p

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] have system apps always been missing from the per-app-modes section? I was looking to add a higher speed (than my underclocked 1.5ghz default) profile for the Camera app to reduce processing lag but the stock camera app isn't available in the app list.

Yeah he's right, there's no way anyone want stock color! you're crazy! :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bleuxeon:
You may like the new color calibration but it is in fact much far away from perfect calibration than original was.

Original Nexus 5 color's DeltaE has been mesured to something near 2.

Franco's one has better black levels but overall DeltaE must be near 8 or 10 wich, obviously, shows a very poor color fidelity.

Different panels?

For me Francos colors are also better than stock.

I made my learner lounge thread (linked in 1st post and my sig and even accessible from the fku app under the support tab!) specifically designed to help out inexperienced members who may have some questions. I took a lot of time to make it and pretty much perfecting it for all the supported devices. No one has posted there in a long time but the idea was to remove some of the repetitive questions from the dev threads and keep it clean and easy to follow any reports / updates /announcement and in the learner lounge thread you should be able to find the info you need for your device.
