I'll admit, I did not know that. I spent so little time with the stock kernel that I didn't pay attention to its settings. Thanks for the heads up. :)

I still recommend the stock settings, with minor tweaking though. With very few changes, I average between 25 and 27 hours of uptime, with between 4 and 6 hours of SoT... That tells me that the kernel is pretty good as-is. :D

Hmm. Must be my settings then. I use all the Faux recommended settings and I think the only way I could get 25 to 27 hours is if I didn't use the phone lol. I use pretty much all the same settings I did as on 005, 006, and 007 though and I had better battery life. Ah well, still no complaints as it's still the best kernel in my opinion. Time to try your reccomendations and go stockish I guess. :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jjhiza:
These are my results from a couple of days ago. I used my phone normally, which for me is a lot of Tapatalk, some Web browsing, a few phone calls, podcasts, a little tethering, and about 30 minutes of Final Fantasy VI. I'll post my exact settings if you'd like. :)

I got these from G+ and from posts here by uber. I'm not sure if uber has changed anything in his settings but I'm pretty sure faux's recommended settings are still the same (plus: enable zram swap w/ 1GB disk size).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I'll play a bit first and see what happens. I did install some apps for a smartwatch I got, but when I go to gsam it says almost 40% battery drain by kernel. If I can't get it figured I might ask for those settings. :)

For me after flashing faux on cm based rom it boots alright but it seems i lost my root. Flashed superSU but still no root. Do i need the CAF / unCAF flashed to get root back?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jjhiza:
Honestly, I have no idea. I went looking for a solution for the CM crowd, because 1) I wanted to try to help, and 2) I didn't want the thread to keep being buried by CM compatibility questions. I don't run CM though...

The best place to drop your question would probably be in the thread I linked to. If I understood it correctly though, you'll need to flash the ROM, unCAF and then Faux kernel. Check there though, since those guys/gals have a better working knowledge of the patch than I do. :)

Sometimes when my screen is off with knock2 feature / s2w enabled my phone reboots by itself.

The last_kmsg report always the same here it is:

What happened here? Is it because the s2w / knock2 feature? Using the 008 no OC version
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jjhiza:
Do you have any heat issues prior to a reboot? And are you charging the phone with s2w enabled? I only ask because charging while the phone is - essentially - always awake, could increase heat, and therefore cause a hot reboot... Just a shot in the dark though.

Any Recommended settings for fast charge with the default Nexus 5 wall charger?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
I'm pretty sure the default charger will only output at 1.2 amps, so the 1200 setting is it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silentbob999:
fast charge should have no effect on AC.... just affect USB charging ;)... you can disable it or force it at 500ma and your 1.2A wall charger will charge just as fast.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] qpkg:
Everything looks working smoothly, except charging. When I connect charger, system shows about a second charging and then discharging/not charging.

- Charging is working normally with other kernels (stock, slim, omni, cm, elementalx)

- I have tested several wall chargers and cables also USB charging with different cables (all cables and chargers are working with other kernels)

- I have tested latest 008 build with several custom roms (example slimkat, omni, carbon), but still same

- Logcat doesn't show anything suspicious, exactly same what it show when charger is connected and charging starts normally with other kernels

Does anyone else had similar problems? Or anyone have any ideas what I could test next to get charging working?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Do the various fast charge settings make any difference?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reddvilzz:
No heat problem though, it's just quick reboot for 3 - 4 sec then back in action. And i haven't test it while charging, this all happened while unplugged. Is it have to do with the s2w being enabled?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jjhiza:
I'm not sure honestly, I was just throwing out ideas. Sounds like you're having dirty reboots though... Have you tweaked the voltages at all?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reddvilzz:
I tried 2 different version while enabling s2w (UVed one and non UV one) both the same. But when i disabled the s2w it works fine though
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DesignGrits:
Any updates on the multirom patch?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jjhiza:
Hmm... I can only assume that s2w is the issue then. As annoying as it may be, you should probably just disable s2w until Paul has time to address the issue.

Not to my knowledge. Paul is taking some time off, because he and his wife just had a baby. No worries though, he'll be back, and will likely look at the patch.

*actually, take a look at the Faux github... I can't be 100% sure, but I think I saw something about multirom in his commits.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] afraaa:
is this kernel by faux or in corporation with AK (anarkia ) or its indivisual kernel by u faux ?. . and why on earth developer like faux shoudnt be recognized developer with this awesome kernels ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Maybe he doesn't want to be.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jjhiza:
Nothing to do with Stefano's (AK) work as far as I know. I was actually thinking of shooting him a pm, to see if he was interested in doing something for hammerhead, but I'm not sure he'll be up for developing for a device he doesn't own.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] qpkg:
Unfortunately no.

In addition to earlier, I have multirom installed. I assume that multirom should work with 008 version, because of this commit and this comment.

MultiROM Manager app shows compatible kernel (Kernel: has kexec-hardboot patch) and everything else is working normally for me, except charging.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Faux's not a recognized dev because trolls got the title stripped from him. Everything here is his own work (and so is a lot of stuff in other kernels). He does a lot of reverse engineering. Faux's a true innovator.

It looks like it. I haven't seen that anyone else has brought this issue up. Maybe just try to reflash the kernel? Wipe dalvik and cache, flash the kernel, and see what happens... That may fix things. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reddvilzz:
Well i changed my rom to aosp now and the reboot still happened, maybe i really need faux to come here :D. Maybe because of that. Liquid smooth. But for some reason the option to change the thermal into intelliplug isn't there.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silentbob999:
In theory, yes, in fact, except if you play heavy game all the time; NO.

Especially with Faux intelliplug and intellidemand your cpu will rarely top to max frequency, So bringing down the max freq will have low to no effect. This is what I can see with my utilization but this vary depending of the quantity and type of application you have and utilize.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Circaflex:
The only one to blame is faux not "trolls" he didn't provide updated sources for some time but kept pushing kernels... break the rules pay the price pretty simple
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lets_zock:
So for clarification: you have to give sources for your work when it's based on open source? I'm asking this cause I know some devs here on XDA don't do this.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Yes. Its called GPL and there is usually a sticky in every devices dev forum. It mostly applies to kernel devs but its not exclusive
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lets_zock:
So it doesn't apply for Roms?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I didn't say that. Find a sticky and have a read. It will explain better than I can

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Faux recommended on with 1000 mb and 80% swappiness. And nope, I haven't seen any impact on battery at all and at the same time a big change in speed. :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kr3w1337:
GPL says to release source when requested. You don't have to release it ever on your own. Also you only have to release the stuff that uses open source because that in turn becomes open source.

This is different than MIT which says that you can have it and don't have to release it or anything, just make sure that the code is credited and the license is attached.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OptimusVDarwin:
Can someone link me to the Google+ recommended settings

Also what is frequency lock?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjondenon:
A few questions.

1: What does faux sound exactly do? Is it a dsp app or whatsoever and can it be turned off? (i am very satisfied with the 'stock' audio quality)

2: The only reason I am using a custom kernel is to be able to use color control. I am currently running Franco R32 without any changes in frequencies etc. I feel that the performance is much worse compared to the stock kernel (lag when using chrome or scrolling through the facebook app etc.)

Is the performance out of the box (so only flashing this kernel and not tweaking anything) similar to stock? I don't want to mess around with kernel settings.

I am running stock 4.4.2.

thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
I'll answer the second question first, since it's the shorter one: yes, it should be more like stock, since Faux123 doesn't default to his own settings.

Now for Faux Sound: it's not a dsp, it's a chip level hack that allows you to adjust some parameters of the audio chip itself (primarily digital and amp gain). DSP and other EQ apps are on the software side, whereas faux sound is kernel/hardware side. Use them together for great sound.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjondenon:
Thank you very much for you answer!

So if I do not adjust those parameters you mention, audio output is exactly the same compared to stock?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Yep.

Sent from my Slim Nexus 5 with smoothness by Faux.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjondenon:
So I just gave Faux kernel a try. Unfortunately i'm still experiencing a lot of lag, especially when scrolling fast. Is there any kernel which is exactly similar to stock with a feature for color control?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bamboosensei:
Faux kernel doesn't change any parameters on installation so it should be the same as stock if you haven't made any changes. Technically, you should be able to use it with the colour change you want. What ROM are you using and which app is causing the lag? Certain apps are known for scrolling issues, such as XDA / Tapatalk.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjondenon:
I'm running stock.

The apps that lagg are chrome, whatsapp, facebook, play store, twitter and some others.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bamboosensei:
Do you have Fauxclock installed? Or maybe any other CPU tweaking app?

Also did you make any changes to the kernel parameters or did you just install the kernel and from there experienced the lags? For instance, did you change the hotplugging method from MPdecision to Intelliplug or the governor from Ondemand to Intellidemand?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjondenon:
No, I did not change anything.

I just reverted everything back to stock by flashing the stock rom and unrooting the device through the nexus root toolkit.

Strangely, the lag is still apparent, maybe even worse. I don't know how this could be possible

Could you recommend me a free app and some settings which could make the phone smooother?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bamboosensei:
Have you installed any apps recently just before you started noticing the lags? What about another kernel before trying Faux?

When you reverted back to stock did you fully wipe your phone as well? As in deleting the data partition (this wipes your sdcard/ external partition, so back up any important pictures and files) and system partitions?

You could try to use Trickstermod, which is free to set Uber's settings (you can find them in this thread with a search). However, since they involve setting Intelliplug, and are slightly more battery orientated, I suspect that they might not help. Probably worth a try anyway and if not then you might have to fully wipe and then see where to go from there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjondenon:
I reverted to stock through the nexus root toolkit which in believeautomatically wipes the whole device.

I will give your advice a try, thanks!

Eventhough I find it strange that a device with such powerful hardware and a 'light os' has such problems
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Nothing against tools as they can help in a pinch, but I always do as much as I can manually so I know exactly what's going on. I bricked a phone in the past using a tool, and I don't think it was the tools fault, I just didn't know everything it did. I made assumptions, went to try other stuff on my own and ended up with a brick. Sooo, I would just read a little more on processes to get you to where you want to be, or if you can't find anything start a Q&A and do everything manually. My two cents. :)

BTW, I've never seen lag with faux either. More than likely apps/services conflicting with each other would be my guess.

More than likely, it's a version of interactive that also hotplugs, like the way intellidemand is a modified on demand governor. Hotplugging - > battery savings when the screen is off I believe.
