Hi

Is safe to change to color on n5 or no?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] the1dynasty:
Tethering has always worked fine for me on R12 and now this, R15... Always been stock with just by our kernel too...

As for the colors... I really wish someone from LG or Google would answer as to why such a simple modification can't be baked into the stock kernel to have better colors... I mean, the screen on the G2 looks amazing... Isn't this hardware based closely on that device? Anyone know the color /gamma settings for the G2?

Thanks Franco for changing the default color settings to stock - the blue tint not good for the eyes when you're browsing while in the dark before you go to bed :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Read the changelog for r15 Franco said to use the app for now, clearly its safe

Also I find r16 laggy, I guess I'm too used to r15 but my home screen is lagging quite a bit with widgets and I'm using a static wallpaper, guess I'll be sticking to this version for awhile as its giving me good battery life

I was using fk but decided to give ElementalX a go. Is it possible to flash fk over the top of ElementalX without causing issues or reflashing the ROM first?

I've heard that it's possible with some kernels and not others. Not sure about this combination though.

Hi everyone, I'm on Cataclysm 26th stabel version and franco r14. The battery usually are OK. Last night, I went to sleep with 44% left, but got up in the morning only to see the phone shut down due to no battery left (as in the pictures). The wakeup seems normal. I was on LTE and turn on the wifi&mobile location. I did notice the mobile signal wasn't great last night. Is it possible that's the cause? thx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rockafellor:
Your Screenshots seem very small. I can see that Google play was active on the first position? Maybe you have been downloading some updates in the background. Correct me if I'm wrong. Can't be kernel related. Update to the latest r16 kernel

Prob , but As a rule u should just get used to re flashing your ROM if your going to try different kernels ,u never no what the Dev has done or changed they all do different modifications That OP may not mention

If I wonder away from this kernel I always make a backup first that way when I realize I just wasted my time I can be back within few min :P

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
Thanks for the reply. I actually had seen your thread before, so I'll rephase my question a lil bit.

If you open a app like System Monitor, open the split screen CPU tab and let all but 1 core go offline, you'll see that the simple slight touch of a part of a screen that doesn't trigger anything (visible at least, of course the touch input is still registered) activates the second code.

Now, I understand that a second core turning on and off every second is worse than having it up all the time, but my point was that the stock governor turns on this second core even when it's absoutely not needed. A second core needed to simply register the user touching the screen in a point where it'd not trigger any actual effect / transition / computation? Come on, you can't belive that it's really needed.

Back in the Galaxy S2 days I played with it a bit, and I can tell you that the almost 3 years old exynos 4 dual core 1.2 ghz in it worked just fine while having a whatsapp chat, or a phone call or playing music on the commute even with 1 core disabled.

So yea, my point was more about how often that second core would actually have to be turned on and off with a non sucking governor / settings like the default Google one is.

If you have evidence that having a quite conservative on/off for the second core causes the first to work at so much higher frequencies that it ends up being a loss in terms of power consumption I trust you ofc.

How can I active 4 cores with r16 what value should I use with hotplug?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
I did read every page since r14, which is when I started using it, more than what, 200 pages ago?

No disrespect taken to Franco or other devs, but if you write two lines op without a single faq or anything cause you dislike long posts, you can't really expect not to receive certain questions over and over again.

In the 200 pages that I read, I read countless times about the rollback of the r14 gamma settings so I'd not have asked about it, I also read the changelogs of r14, r15, r16, so those are covered too, but at the current rate this thread will be longer than The Lord of the Rings in about a month more of posts, you can't really expect people to read every single page of it, most of them being about now fixed issues, therefore a pointless read too.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yevw2d45x2pmm8z/last_kmsg_20131205.txt
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Short answer to a long question is that's how Franco designed the hot plug driver to work. 2 CPUs always on running slower than 1 maxing out uses less voltage and smoother. Under heavy load CPU 2 then 3 activate. If you don't like it then this isn't for you but this is the back bone of the whole kernel, it won't be changed by principle for the foreseeable future.

I got my N5 last Friday, coming from Galaxy S3, and have been using stock kernel until today. I was recommended to try this kernel due to good battery life and I am very excited to see how this kernel will perform in both performance and battery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
My FAQ thread is linked into Franco's OP and linked in my signature. If your on a phone I can see how you wouldnt see the link but on a PC or web browser it should be visible under every single post from me. I agree completely with your point of veiw which is why I set up that thread.

i had the same problem before and found out the kernel crashed with fauxclock app,uninstalled it and no more.reboots
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
Yes, it's about preferences and I love we have a choice. Mine is to boot the new rom fully first before flashing another kernel. Make sure it's a good flash, get everything set up, backup the current kernel with Flashify and then flash another kernel. The only problem I see there, and it's probably because I just don't know, is if the new kernel fails on the flash. Then where is the Flashify backup? Thankfully, that hasn't happened yet although you could always dirty flash the rom for the installed kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 5FOOTER:
You guys that have random reboots can you provide a little more info? Like what ROM your running and if any other mods.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
I took a suggestion here regarding location services last night and turned them all off. Woke this morning with 3% drain / hour whereas I only get about 2 or 3% the entire night. Took a look at BBS and found that EntriesRefresh_Wakelock had kept the phone from sleeping all night with over 25k count. A quick search on xda suggested that the new google search function might be the cause looking for location. So I turned location services back on, using the battery saver one for now, and the above service has only 2 partial wakelocks in the last 2 hours with merely a 0.2% battery usage, way down on the list. Can anyone with location services completely off, weather on the google now screen, reproduce this?

Wrong thread
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] teambestyrandy:
It activates when it needs to. When you're playing heavy games for example all 4 cores are activated. there's no need for all 4 to be activated for light activity, that's just battery kill.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jeder:
Was very impressed so far with the kernel. Last night i flashed r16 and then Koush's Superuser broke.

FKU told me that i dont have root anymore. removde FKU from the allowed apps to get the prompt/toast message again, no change.

I already asked over on g+ and everybody told me to switch root apps... but... well I think such an important app like the superuser/su one should be open source.

Anyone else here using franco's kernel on a stock Nexus 5 (KitKat) and using koush's superuser app?

greetings

Toni
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Use Chainfire's SuperSU.

http://bit.ly/Iu62Ve
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shaker2k:
Or you could use wug's nexus toolkit.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
I always flash SuperSU as the last step when installing ROMs or kernel. I understand the admiration for open source, but when kush's superuser doesn't work SuperSU does.

The lead ROM developer of the ROM I use says SuperSU runs roughshod over some Android security settings (his opinion)--- but without that, that's also why you don't have root anymore. So, I don't care. :)

There are frequent complaints about superuser in that ROM thread, here, and other threads. The solution is always to flash SuperSU.

It works.

Stock ROM, this kernel :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] site1ca:
With 4.4.1 on the way (http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/5/5175568/fixing-the-nexus-5-android-4-4-1-improves-camera), I would like to clarify the steps needed to return to a stock kernel (I assume I need to be running a stock kernel to receive OTA updates; this is too bad, really, because I quite enjoy Franco's kernel).

As I understand it, I need to do the following:

1) Flash the stock boot.img in OP (using the regular fastboot command).

2) Restore power.msm8974.so.bak in /system/lib/hw by removing the .bak.

Anything else? If I restore stock kernel, do I lose root? If I do lose root, can I actually complete step 2) without root access? Or should those steps be performed in the reverse order?

Thank you for your help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
The only step I would do is wait 5 minutes after 4.4.1 launches to be on XDA and then flash it. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] site1ca:
So you're saying that whatever checks the OTA update does aren't an issue if I just flash the image myself? Hm, interesting. Hadn't thought about that. OK, thank you for that answer.

However, just for my own education, I'd still be interested in an answer to my original question as to how I would fully revert to stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PhantomGamers:
DL factory images, fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash system system.img and you're good to go.

You can just flash stock kernel and restore the backups of files that fk makes automatically too.

Restore /system/etc/sysctl.conf.fkbak to /system/etc/sysctl.conf, /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so.bak to /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so, and /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh-bak to /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChazzMatt:
NO need to flash Google's OTA ROM. Within minutes of OTA appearing, it will be here on XDA, rooted/deodexed. Flash THAT instead. :good:

TWRP is funny currently when wiping caches. It seems to take forever! A lot of people get impatient and force reboot the phone and screw it up. I know. I did the same thing a while back. Trick is just to wait it out. Takes minute or more sometimes. I'm not saying this is what you did but just general FYI.
