Is it okay to use this Kernel right now for 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 ? Like there aren't any bugs anymore right ? Sorry if it's been asked or stated before
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
Asked many times. Yes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Texan1836:
Okay okay I'm sorry guys.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
No problem, enjoy this great kernel! If you have any stutters though put GPU to performance and at 320 if you don't want it overheating/draining your battery (locked to 450 is a bit overkill)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] safendi:
if i set 450 with on demand it draining battery?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Texan1836:
Okay thanks , sounds good !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
The problem with ondemand GPU governor and simple is that it switches 320 and 200 around. When it should be using one it uses the other instead.

Just wondering do I need to purchased Faux app in order to install his kernel. I am not planning to adjusting the color, sound, UV or UC. If so could i use flashify to install it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nadrojcote:
Im not sure about flashify, would probably be best to do it via recovery such as twrp, but you should use faux's app to set the recommended settings, otherwise there isnt much of a point in using the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ldkud50:
You will not be able to setup the recommended settings easily. You can use the free kernel mods in the play store.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
No you do not need the app to install you do need root or flashify will work but I never used always flashed mine in recovery
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The app options are a bonus, but it's still the most complete / stable kernel I've seen here. I think that is the point more so than if it has an app to execute commands for me.

Cool thanks, Currently I am on Franco and would like to try out other kernel. My Nexus color are pretty good stock and I have a mod for the speakers. I dont care about OC or OV.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] miketn:
How's your battery life? Notice any drain with those changes?

Also, I've been using this one particular game (Sheep Happens) to test out how a kernel acts under load. Whenever I use Faux kernel the frame rate is terrible and stutters like crazy, however when I use another kernel it's smooth as silk. I love faux kernel and would like to solve why it's acting this way. Any suggestions? I am using recommended settings and even tried the settings above (interactive, intelliplug with those GPU gov changes) still happening. Thanks in advance

Here's the settings I'm using currently. Asides from the GPU bug, it works perfectly. I'm sure that when the GPU bug is fixed this will be great.

--Memory Manager:

Top to bottom: on, on, 0%, 100%, 20%, 5%

What works: All around smoothness, battery life is good.

What doesn't work: GPU frequency is still inverted, slight stutters when it's scaling up as instead of going from 200 to 320 it goes from 320 to 200. We'll have to wait for Faux to fix this.

What I changed: I tuned intellidemand so that it scales up more aggressively and actually makes use of the maximum frequency. Before it only seemed to go up to 1.9.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Reevine:
Yes with Snake Charmer and Eco Mode you will not see high undervolting. As I said I have those turned off to achieve the under voltage I have.

I disagree with the fact that just because it's a different CPU means it's not capable. I've used several Nexus 4, Galaxy devices and other phones that Faux supports. Each with very little differences between settings and performance. The problem relies in the kernel itself according to tests.

Keep in mind that the Kernel is in early development compared to other phones that have been thoroughly tested. And as proven by the differences in version capabilities and OS versions giving different results, the kernel is how these settings are applied to the hardware.

For example I could not achieve really any UV with 001-003 I was able to UV on 003U but not 004 or any Betas. With 005 I have achieved -75mV but only only 4.4.

4.4.1 and 4.4.2 have shown other results. With time and as Faux irons out the bugs and improves the programming I'm sure we will see similar results to other devices. So simply saying that the its luck of the draw is not really accurate in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] miketn:
Thanks for posting your settings. I'm trying them out now and have already noticed a difference
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
No problem. At the end of the day I'm getting ~3h OST with 1.5h of moderate gaming. 24% left still. I keep everything (data, location reporting, NFC, GPS, etc.) on during the day. The only minor annoyance is the occasional stutters, but I'm not too worried about that as I still believe the GPU frequencies are a bit messed up right now. If I lock it to 450 then all the stutters go away, however it's not really needed and it gets hotter than needed when doing that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rancur3p1c:
and yet none of yall seem to understand why.

XDA's threading interface is very visually busy, makes it difficult to easily skim for only the text of the post. There's a lot of clutter.

Quite simply there's a lot of wasted vertical space for the amount of text content to consume.

-There's an entire half-inch of screen real estate dedicated to the thanks/reply/quote/quick reply.

-Right below that there's another half-inch row dedicated to the username/post time/date/flag post/like/twitter/g+/post#. Username should be to the left of the post content, not on its own dedicated row, and the other icons should be integrated into the post box. And they definitely shouldn't be different shades of grey but the same shade as the quoted text region. This wouldn't be a problem if everyone were writing huge paragraphs but with all the one and two liner posts it's a huge clutter$&#@

-There's also a small amount of text content to consume per page (10 posts/default or whatever).

-On top of that it's not posted on the first post by faux123 if this works with CM11.

I'm not sure why you all expect everyone to read every last page. It's like the lottery, you could read all the pages and maybe nobody's asked the question yet, maybe they don't draw the lotto numbers tonight, etc.

Fix 1 2 and 3 in that order and people will stop asking the same questions all the time.

The search doesn't work from the mobile app (everyone on their phone all the time tooling around, this means they just make another post), and even on the desktop it's rather difficult to sort the useless content. It's not natural language search that can recognize the content of a question, it's just a keyword search so you have to make sure you searched for the right terms. There's a recaptcha if you're not logged in.

So what I'm saying is the barrier to getting the information into your brain is way too high for a myriad of reasons, mostly poor design and poor tools. It's XDA's fault not just the people asking the dumb questions. If you don't want to read the dumb question just don't read the dumb question. Note that fixing 1 2 and 3 would make random off topic questions like this far less distracting/confusing to the discussion at hand. When there's only 10 posts per page it's easy to take a discussion off track and make it seem like the spotlight has changed focus.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
All those issues are resolved if you use..... Google. I never use xda search.

The problem is that many people tend to forget there is an internet outside xda....

But anyway you're right it's a Don Quichotte fight to change that.

I've got a question about the fauxsound. Every time I reopen my music app after a break from about 4 hours it seems like I have to reopen fauxsound to get the enhanced sound? Do I have to reopen fauxsound every time before heading music again?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Hmm... I think what you are overlooking is people should learn and not just recite and then we might not have such a small group that knows with so many others asking redundant single-use questions.

HowardForums, for those who just started mobile with Android, has always been a great technical source. AndroidForums gets a TON of the general guides and instructional threads. But Google has a neat feature called site-specific search if xda is your one and only source and it is natural language compliant.

Also, you have the ability to change posts per page. It is in the tapatalk settings or in your forum preferences on the web. If 10 creates problems, why not recommend a higher default to the maintainers?

Are you running any task killers or have you modified any settings that may be killing it off before its ready to die on its own?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ev!denz:
No just greenify but it ignores the app. Every time I start fauxsound this pops up and the volume boosts up.

No, the default kernel config is stocks kernel config. So you would have to tweak the settings to optimal ones. Speaking of which I feel mine are (I'll share battery stats later to prove it) :). So Here are my settings in faux clock.

Hey,

I'm trying ur kernel since some versions now and it's really working fine here....

And so first of all a big thanks for ur work!

And a question to the think u said above, is this tweak activated in 'U' or this is just hard overvolting to have high performance.

At this point my question implicate if u maybe would upload a version with tweak like u personally are happy and can recommend?

I don't have so much time to test all this things and especially not such a deep knowledge at all.

Again big thanks and go ahead with this good work.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
Bwahaha arguing over avatars. :silly:

Anyways here are my battery stats. Mind you this is all WiFi, great signal, location on battery saving mode, and I sync a numerous amounts of Google services (gmail, chrome, contacts, etc). H+ would probably result in an hour less screen time, and LTE should almost be identical to WiFi from what I've seen others get.

But i average 30-35mins of screen time per 10%. Sometimes more depending on what I'm doing. I was making a zooper widget home screen for a good hour straight (why it shows in the stats).

No, U is ultimate, which only refers to the highest overclocked kernel. Nothing different between kernels besides over clock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobokun:
Sorry if this question has been asked but I couldn't find an answer via search.

If I enable both sweep2wake and DoubleTap2Wake function will it drain more battery than if I were to enable only one or the other?

I like to use doubletap2wake to wake up the phone and use sweep2wake to sleep the phone but I don't think I will enable both if it drains twice as much battery as if I were to enable one.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dazz87:
Are you on M or U kernel? Also you running a custom rom or stock?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
I would think having both would add to battery drainage, as for double or how much i can't say. When off the wake function adds to idle drainage a relatively significant amount. But im not so sure about when the screen is on, it might add a minor amount that you probably wouldn't notice. Why not try testing it? Run one for a day see how your battery results, then run both and see if you find anything out of the norm.

See my signature. :)

Thanks UBER for your settings. I've been using them since this afternoon and the performance is unreal. No stutters in the games I play (this is one of the main reasons why I had to keep switching back and forth between kernels, since Faux's kernel was a great daily driver but stuttered like crazy during games). I can't even imagine how great this kernel will be when the GPU gets fixed. Anyway, gonna continue using this and testing the battery to see if I can get similar stats like you ;)

Thanks again, and thanks to Faux for his great work on this kernel

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] irononreverse:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes as the above two posters have said ART is completely compatible with faux. Though if u use xposed framework u won't be able to use ART last time I checked (someone let me know if I'm wrong). But this has nothing to do with faux it's a xposed issue. When I tried ART I noticed a bit of a difference though I'm not sure if it was a placebo. But it wasn't enough of a difference for me to give up xposed framework. Maybe I barely noticed any difference using ART cause Faux already has my n5 running like a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport :cool:

Started using Faux kernel the other day. I purchased the app and apply these setting to my N5. I am probably getting the best battery life since getting my N5 at launch! Been using Franco for the past month and the best I got for SOT was about 5 hrs and 30 mins. I am a very light user mostly texting and surfing and listening to music. This is what I got so far with 69% left. With 20 minutes of listening to music. The only issue I got is I enable airplane mode before going to sleep and from 69% it drop to 55% in 6 hours. I normally drain only 3-4% overnight(with both wfi and data on) I checked bbs and there was no wakelocks and looks like my phone was in deep sleep.....Weird but besides that I am very happy with my SOT now. Thanks.........
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bleuxeon:
Sorry for this question : I absolutly know nothing with Faux's kernel since I m using Franco's one since I get my Nexus 5.

Could someone please tell me what is the lowest CPU's voltage allowed by Faux's kernel?

Thanks:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
The phone wasn't deep sleeping. See the deep sleep state. Overnight that should have been 95%+. Seems you left WiFi scanning on under WiFis advanced menu in settings. At least I'm assuming. I know that'll keep the phone awake.

Also those using my kernel settings, I made a few changes.

1. Under Governor settings for Ondemand I now have the sync_freq set to 1344000. I also turned off I/O is Busy so its now a 0 (0 is off, 1 is on).

2. I turned off eMMC entropy contribution. Left on by accident.

Things are much smoother and seems battery has improved also :). 54mins in just 10% that's nearly as good as my N7 FHD which gets around 1h and some change.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dazz87:
The first thing I checked was bbs and it show it was in deep sleep for 5 hours. Its just weird. First time ever using airplane mode. After enabling airplane mode I saw both data and wifi icon on status show off. Going to test it again tonight. Wifi scan is off in advanced mode.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrPhilo:
I have my CPU set to 1.7Ghz (MPDecision+Snakecharmer) running ART, smooth as butter, faster than Dalvik+2.2Ghz.

Also I get 4 hour and 30 minutes screen on time USING 3G/H only during the whole day (16-18hours) from work

I stopped using Greenify as I hate having to refresh my apps when hibernated. Greenify hardly improved my battery anyways, yes I have paid version.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Aria807:
I get noticeably better battery life on Faux for some reason. I tried Franco and I was draining few % with hardly anything done/idling. I think Faux kernel has better governor setup and the kernel app itself is more customizable.
