[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DirkBelig:
I find Google Now too useful to throw away because Android has battery-killing bugs. I've disabled all the location reporting and history, though. I broke down and finally rooted a couple of weeks ago so Greenify would have a fighting chance and as a result I dumped Foursquare because it refused to stay hibernated and in the thread at G+ about it, someone pasted the most pathetic "Nothing is wrong with Foursquare staying awake because we're wonderful and just use what's needed for a fabulous user experience" slab of tripe from a 4S BSer. (Groupon also keeps waking up, but I need that.)

Since I'd rooted and was desperate, I decided to give Faux's kernel a shot because it worked so well on my Nexus 4, but that had comprehensive recommended settings for battery or performance emphasis. If all the stuff is pre-tweaked in the kernel, it would've helped if he'd either hidden those panels or put a note that it's already adjusted for maximum win on those tabs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GzC:
If you read his kernels changelog you'll know what's been tweaked what's haven't.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Perhaps. But, different phone's with different ROMs and apps and mods equals a different experience for each user in a lot of ways. Some of the pages in his app don't default to his reccomended settings and some do. The screenshots he provides on G+ are his personal settings and those are the ones he reccomends because he get's the best experience with those. Basically the kernel settings that are missing from his screenshots are ones that can be left at the default settings or tweaked to each user's liking. Doing that covers about 95% of what I do. I just use his recommended settings from the screenshots that he does have and pretty much leave everything else alone. I've never had any problems that way. [emoji106]

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mortal300:
Hello, I'm running the latest kernel and using [MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION] recommended settings that he recently posted. Everything works fine for me except that when my phone is asleep and I click the power button, many times it doesn't register the first click of the button and then I wait a second...click it again and the screen turns on then off probably because the phone proccesed the first click which was to turn on then quickly processed the second click which turned it off.

Is this a common issue? Its super frustrating cus I can't even wake my phone up the first few clicks since it keeps lagging to register the command to turn the screen on. Maybe this is an issue with the Power Suspend option that I have enabled? Of course I'll test to fix things but just wanted to know if anyone else hit this issue before

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] misterviolinguy:
I've never experienced this with my device. Maybe try reinstall/resetting settings and starting over?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] boykomac:
Same here, very frustrating!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Android System still devouring battery on 16_r2.

I did a fresh install of KangaKat and didn't install any apps (other than the basic Google apps included in the ROM) and Android System continues to be the greediest user of battery (unless I'm actually using my phone, then screen is top).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mortal300:
This was happening on a prior version and I just recently updated thinking it would help but it did not. Should I try wiping Dalvik?

Let me know if you fix it bud! Super frustrating!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
I've had this on and off since v10... Yes, drives you nuts when you click the power and nothing happens, then you press it again and the screen blips for a second before going off again - almost like the phone thought the screen was on the first time!

Someone suggested turning off power suspend in the miscellaneous section but that didn't fix it for me.

As for wiping dalvik, every time I change kernel I wipe dalvik and cache before AND after the flash, so this won't help either.

This phone had so much promise but with the microphone issues (that clearly Google have no intentions/ability to fix) it's started to become a bit of a turkey, even with the master turkey baster Faux ;)

I'm pushing Google for a full refund as they have done it for other people based on the dodgy microphone issue.... Is most likely hardware.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FatBoy_Seconds:
I hate to brag or anything, but I haven't had a reboot in a while......
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cellsafemode:
You never need to wipe dalvik or cache with a kernel change unless it is including way more than just the kernel. The kernel, itself, has absolutely nothing to do with dalvik generation or processing and the same goes for cache. All of that is firmly userspace.

Despite the phone being awake a lot while the screen is off and android system and os being high on battery list, over the day I'm seeing pretty good battery life. I could easily go all day with heavy browser use. Kernel setup is left as-is. I don't use sysfs tweaking apps at the moment. Quite pleased with regular user experience

I had that running this Kernel for a long time, but have to admit its disappeared either with a newer version of the kernel or the rom i have now installed over stock. Havent had it for several weeks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
I doubt it. I think he's linked before to tests showing you don't get much benefit from going higher than about 450. You end up draining more battery for only a point or two more on benchmarks. Again, that's just what I remember reading, not first hand knowledge.

What ROM are you running? I'm KangaKat - I always end up back with KangaKat as it's IMO the most stable stock based ROM. But I'm open to suggestions to be rid of this issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hollywood084:
I know you weren't asking me, I run stock with gravitybox (xposed mod.) What do you (personally) use from a custom ROM that you cant get with xposed?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Savant:
Because some prefer using art.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
OK, so if I have zero interest in using ART, then the Google stock factory image (rooted with Faux kernel) will likely be a better option than KangaKat? If so I have no problem with stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Savant:
Pretty much, and gravity box. I use slim because I like having options and never once had stability issues. I like it because it feels fluid and has lean customization. Not menus everywhere and it feels like how PA rewrote everything.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hollywood084:
Using gravitybox with xposed framework gives me every feature I want from a custom ROM, with the stability of stock. Just my experience. Check it out!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Yeah, Slim choosing to keep those dated Jelly Bean icons and colors made it a no for me. If I wanted a jelly bean phone I can use an old one.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Savant:
Jelly bean icons they got rid of those a couple builds ago.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Which jelly bean icons?? I am confused we never changed the stock KitKat one lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Savant:
Yeah that's why I said slim got rid of it awhile ago.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
I must be mixing up ROMS as I thought that last time I looked at the OP images, the icons and look were not KitKat? Maybe I need to check again!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Is Carbon X AOSP or CAF? Faux Kernel is AOSP.

From my Pro Tab 8.4
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anub1s18:
carbon is supposed to be AOSP but when i tried kernel 013 with carbon the systemui would start to crach consistently untill re-flashed the rom without faux kernel afterward.

not sure if it's still a issue with the currect kernel version and the current carbon version (this was 3 weeks ago).

just make a backup flash both to see if it works if it doesn't oh well back to the old rom :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I'm trying to overclock this kernel but my settings never stick. The range always goes back to min 300mhz max 2.26ghz. I've tried trickster mod and locking freq, I've tried franco updater(use it for the color control mainly) and I also use faux clock. I don't have anything to set on boot except my color profile but if I set it in trickster mod to have a max of 2.5ghz and min 300mhz and lock the freq they don't stick and end up both max and min at 300mhz but they do scale according to system monitor. I've tried intellidemand and intelliactive... What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I'm on SlimKat and 016_r2
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GUGUITOMTG4:
The problem likely is that you have many apps that do the same thing and the kernel doesn't know who to obey.

I personally stick with faux apps if using his kernel or franco apps if using his.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ogboot:
I apologize for not catching it in the thread, but it seems we're not branching oc & non oc anymore? Thx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Yeah, Faux123 managed to enable always-on snake charmer and set stock freqs as default, so no more need for mainline.

From my Pro Tab 8.4
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I now only have fauxclock and fku installed(the later for the color profiles) and and oc still does not seem to stick.

EDIT: I now only have franco updater installed and when I set the max CPU to 2.5ghz as soon as I back out of the app and go back in its back set to 2.26ghz.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iKlutz:
Since you've been flashing multiple different kernels you should revert back to stock kernel and then flash faux.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I have not been using multiple kernels, only faux. I just had different kernel tweaking apps. I don't see what could be causing a simple OC setting not to stick.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cellsafemode:
Depending on ROM, power library module can easily be to blame.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I'm running slimKat. I can underclock and it will stick but anything above 2.26ghz will not stick.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] r_tarandus:
Hey folks,

I run these kernels in order to use FauxSound, leaving everything else stock. Would there ever be a need to update the kernel if I'm not using new features? Are the newer kernels overall stabler and snappier? I'm running on v10 right now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I ran Kangakat on my Galaxy S4 and it is basically an optimized stock ROM. It is just as stable as stock ROM with some optimizations to improve performance and battery life. I would highly recommend kangakat if you are trying to stay stock...however I'm currently using SlimKat and it is just as stable as stock/kangakat but I can use ART since the customization options are built into the ROM.

[MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] As I'm on Slim would this power library module be the reason my OC won't stick?

With kernels the if it ain't broke don't fix it can apply...I personally wait a few days after a kernel update comes out to see if others have issues...and of course always make a nandroid backup before flashing an updated custom kernel. I would recommend updating from 010 to 016...why? I don't know...I'm not very familiar with kernels and what different patches do but generally updates contain bug fixes(sometimes bugs like memory leaks and other stuff that you wouldn't pay much attention to unless you know to look for it).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I've relfashed stock factory images, reinstalled the kernel and tried both franco updater and tricksterMOD to OC to 2.5ghz...still will NOT stick. What is the deal? Does OC only work on certain govenors? I also notice that even if I OC and don't leave the app except to switch to CPUspy the CPU scaling freq is still 2.26ghz even though the app says 2.5ghz until I back out of the app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Well I assume he meant the power HAL and no is not the reason for sure...aside it is the pur stock one. Sure you have mpdecision disabled?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Yes, I have mpdecision disabled, but have intelliplug enabled instead. I'm also using intelliactive govenor. When I use tricksterMOD to set my max cpu to 2.5ghz.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Sometimes in the past when I've used faux123, it has taken my max CPU setting about 10 to stick before. Just set your max and check back in in about 30 minutes and see if you're good. Not sure why mine doesn't stick sometimes. Most of the time it does, but again, just let it sit for awhile considering you flashed stock and all.

Better yet learn to cherry pick on github and build your own kernel based off faux's kernel sources. There are guides out there, I couldn't have gotten started without the guides floating around xda.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alangrig:
Have a plan to root Nexus 5 and install faux kernel, due to audio hissing noise while taking video. Is it possible with faux kernel to disable AGC (automatic gain control). Nexus 5 camera, during taking video uses front mic, which uses AGC as well.

As i see for now it is possible to resolve audio hissing noise while taking video issue only by:

1. Disable AGC

2. Disable front mic and enable second mic during video recording,

Thnx in advance
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iKlutz:
Been using faux kernel on my internal slimkat rom for months without issues. Today I was flashing a ROM in multirom, and after rebooting the internal ROM all of fauxclocks settings and returned to default, and I can't get it to save settings anymore. Note every reboot results in all settings returning default even after waiting for 5 minutes. No UV either, the setting doesn't move. Same for ksm. I've cleared the app data and wiped dalvik cache. Still nothing.

I'd remove the apps super user permissions and regrant them. Worth a shot.

Does Trickster Mod work?

I tried tweaking this kernel with Trickster Mod last night, but the governor kept on going back to ondemand when I changed the min/max freq. When I changed the governor again, min/max were both set to 300 and my CPU freq was stuck. Is FauxClock the only way to make changes to the kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flunk03:
Well clear the data on trickster mod and a fresh flash of the kernel should fix this issue .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phantom_11:
I also had issue with changing freqs using trickster and emailed them about the issue. Yesterday the latest beta version got updated. Try that. Now it seems to work well for me, though the max freq will return to 2.3g after reboot if I overclock it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zonehack:
where did you get the beta version from?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phantom_11:
You can join the Trickster Mod community and opt in beta in Play Store. http://timos.me/tm/downloads/start#beta. I have started using the beta versions only recently, but haven't notice much instability with them.

I've been looking or a solution on the slimkat Nexus 5 thread but I love faux;s work and wanna continue using it. Right now...all of a sudden trickstermod donate(and other kernel apps tested separated reactive in similar watys. For example, Faux kernel supports OC. If I try 2.5ggz as max cpu and 300mz as min at 300mhz, both min & max go to 300mhz.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
I'm not sure what you're asking. Your using faux kernel on SlimKat and trickster mod isn't setting CPU frequencies correctly?

exactly coming from. restoring everything to stock factory then reflashing slim. my freq's not only don't stick it I change and oc it drops to 300mhz.

The only suggestion I can make is flash SuperSU and update busybox. At least that way you make sure it's not a root problem.

but you guys are talking about using an ultimate version, which turbos the phone up to the limit! doesn't it affect battery life?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] b_rangel29:
You don't have to OC. The new kernels have the "snake charmer" built in that caps all the cores at whatever you set it to. That's why there's only "u" versions now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zonehack:
All default mate, don't even have the app to tinker with the kernel. :)

i don't play games, and I'm careful about what apps to install
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Thank you for the reply, I didn't understand the snaker charmer stuff (I know what it is though) XD do you mean that they are stable from stock but you can overclock them up to turbomegahyperdeath limits?

Thank you again! ^^
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] b_rangel29:
You can set the clock to whatever you want and all cores will be capped at that setting.

Edit: Completely stable for me on 16u_r2.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Yeah, he basically rewrote it so that all cores use stock frequencies unless otherwise told by a kernel control app. As opposed to the old way where an OC kernel started out OCed and you had to tell it not to.

Is anybody else noticing a slight pause when turning the screen on from sleep? I just flashed 16u_r2 yesterday after using bricked for a few weeks and it seems like there is a definite pause when turning on the screen with the power button. It almost seems if its a second or so (maybe a little longer sometimes) until the screen actually turns on after pushing the power button.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 8bitplus:
I get the same thing.

Press power button.... nothing.... until you touch the screen.

Its fine for me anyway. Just press the button and start to unlock the screen with pattern (even if I cant see where to start lol)

Doesn't happen every time. I just assumed it was down to power saving mode or undervolting.

I don't want to sacrifice too much performance but will to do some for battery life. I do not do any game playing or anything too intensive.

p.s. Why do I continuously get prompts for BusyBox free when I launch FauxClock?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
If you're looking to stretch battery life, underclock the CPU and GPU. Fool with it and see how low you can go before it starts to bother you. You can also try eco mode, which limits to two cores.
