[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
Some kernels write or modify some system files that make Android os refresh cache automatically, even without script instruction.

Some other don't.

That's why you have to restore stock boot img to swap from some kernels to others.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
I am experiencing some stuttering when playing music over Bluetooth using 003u no OC no UV intellidemand/plug. Sometimes it's ok sometimes it's not like right now i left home heading to work and it was all ok then i used my phone a few min while i had a smoke and it was still playing ok but when i turned off the screen with power button the stuttering started.

EDIT:

I hope this edit does not get missed by [MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION] this only happens when playing flac encoded files. Just wanted to specify that since i just confirmed it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MagicalSword:
Beta4004 has a small stuttering for me with tapatalk as well, but beta 5 is smooth (intelliplug and eco) and is working very nicely with -50 mV with my PSV 1 phone. So far battery life has been amazing, but I have just flashed the new beta, so time will tell... :) So far, though, nice work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I was getting some of this on WinAmp. I turned the equalizer off in WinAmp and only used dsp and set faux sound to quality and haven't had any stuttering (little gaps in playback) ever since. :thumbup:

Thanks. How's your battery life on this kernel say compared to Trinity ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Marescallus:
I haven't tried Trinity in like a year, so I couldn't tell you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fruitsalt:
OK, how's the performance and battery life on faux then ?

Also this does include the volume boost, have you noticed a boost in volume from stock. I'm coming from an iPhone so the volume of the phone seems low.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Marescallus:
Performance and battery are both good. I have noticed a boost in volume, but I did purchase FauxSound from the Play Store.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
You can either look for it in the Faux kernel app (paid), or use a shell command. I think TricksterMod may have it as well. The shell command to activate it is:

su
echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

And to deactivate:

su
echo 0 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

I have an issue where when using default settings found on https://plus.google.com/u/0/+PaulReioux/posts/gj2v8nVqqfP

I get audio glitches when listening to music through poweramp. I've tried using both stable versions and even the latest beta but my I guess my Nexus5 just doesn't agree with the recommended settings :( Does anyone know the cause of these audio glitches?

The sound kinda sounds like the sound a dial-up modem makes when connecting to the internet. It also happens at random times on random parts of every song.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nealkoy:
Does the same audio stutter happen in google music too? or is it only isolated to PowerAmp?

Headphones only, Mp3, it happens both screen on or off. Happens on youtube as well as any app that plays audio. I find that it triggers more when I am multitasking (texting, switching between apps) etc.. but it also happens when I'm just listening to music with the screen off as well. I'm not sure why it doesn't do this on stock settings. If I use stock kernel it's fine as well.

Just tried listening with PlayMusic... I haven't been able to reproduce the issue with PlayMusic. This is really weird.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Its been mentioned multiple times already but I have noticed it too. I have frequency throttle set at 80, and core throttle set at 75, just like in the recommended settings. However, things start getting stuttery at 50 degrees! Its not even hot to the touch, yet I know its throttled because the stats tell me so (pie graph).

I believe we need to keep device cool so don't let it be high.

What do you guys think??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Aria807:
I have the same problem. Audio gets all choppy like the 56k modem sound whenever under heavy load; for me it was when I was updating apps so a lot of read/writes I guess.

Hey I not new to faux kernals but I'm new to the nexus 5. What ROM would you suggest is best with faux kernal. And customizing is really good but amazing life is better since coming from a note 3 and lg g2
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hotnikkelz:
Cataclysm rom.

TBH, there's very little difference in battery life across ROMs, in my experience. They're all about the same, however cataclysm has an awesome and unique feature set.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Agreed. Battery life and performance are usually the same across ROMs for me, so I pick my daily driver based on features and stability.

I also have this problem and I don't think its the kernel, find out what processor bin you have and what hardware revision you're running. I'm on revision 11 and PVS 2. I think it might be a hardware problem

I have revision 11 same problem as welll. How do you find your PVS?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Type this in terminal:

su
dmesg | grep PVS

I think this doesn't work on Faux kernel though, so you might have to flash stock kernel, find out PVS, then return to Faux.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Marescallus:
I agree. It wouldn't output what everyone was getting for me. Faux kernel installed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
I noticed something interesting: the "stock" value for throttling has frequency throttle temp lower than core throttle temp. I assume that means it would first try to lower frequency before turning cores offline. The recommended values for Faux have core throttle lower than freq throttle. Which one is better?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
It worked for me on Faux. You have to reboot and pull it in the first few minutes after reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sparx639:
We need people that don't have our odd throttling problem to post their hardware revisions as well, it might just be us and not the hardware revisions
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Actually, I realized that the issue was not caused by throttling at all. I set my limit at 75 to start core throttling and 80 to start freq throttling, and the CPU stays around 60. As expected, throttling does not occur. To prove this I ran the same game, Riptide GP2, on both Faux 004 beta 5 and stock kernel. Stock kernel starts throttling at 60. What I noticed was that the game ran smooth the whole time on stock, maintaining an FPS of between 40-60. On 004 beta 5 I'd get between 20-40. There was also no annoying occasional stutter when transitioning between apps. I'm about to test 003 and 004 beta 6, but I doubt it's throttling kicking in for me as CPU is nowhere near hot enough for that. More likely something to do with graphics performance.

EDIT: Correction: FPS with Faux ranges from 20-60. It will try to stay at 60, then all of a sudden go down to 20-30 for a while (tons of lag there) then back up to 60. If I switch CPU governor to ondemand all the lag goes away. All of this done on 003 stable, testing on 004b6 right now. Currently suspecting it has to do with intellidemand.

EDIT 2: Tested 004b6 and using ondemand, performance was even better than stock. Stock kept to 40-50 ish, on Faux it almost always stays above 55. Occasional drops to 30 but that's on both kernels. Like once or twice. Also noticed an issue with gamma but I'll post that in detail over on the gamma threada.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sparx639:
So it looks like intellidemand may be causing these problems. I don't have a computer right now, otherwise, I'd love to take some logs. I'll keep you guys posted and I'm going to keep looking into it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jumparound246:
Thanks for that! :thumbup:

Mentioned earlier that gesture based apps like lmt are not working anymore since version 3 stable (since sweep2sleep is built in).

Don't think it's annoying more than a few users but would like to ask if there's a solution to get it back working again? Thanks in advance :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
From Faux's FAQ
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
it depends on what you think is better. with the stock values, you'll keep all cores on at lower clocks, whereas with faux's values it keeps higher frequencies with less cores.

after running eco mode and experiencing next to no lags, i buy into the higher clocks > more cores
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drms12:
My device is suffering from quick throttle problem, PVS 1.

I decided to check my device behavior in terms of cpu power and thermal throttle.

First started with stock settings (stock thermald, 2.26ghz ondemand, mpdecision on):

Start the test of both antutu and Stability Test, after 5-10 sec of all cores on and 2-3 of them max clock,

all cores cpu speed were down to 1.19ghz until the end of the test.

CPU Temp was 60c or less ! never even came close to 70c!

Second test I tried IntelliThermal set to 80c freq, 75c core,

Test started with all cores on at max,

but after 5-10 seconds of test on both cores 2,3 turned off and never turned on until the end of the test,

and frequency started to lower itself for both core 0,1,

But again device cpu temp was 55-62c , never close to 70c!

Battery temp was max 34c,

Device wasn't hot to touch at all!

Something is really wrong with the Nexus 5, Why they decided to put such high end CPU if they never let us use it ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
This is exactly what I am seeing as well with PVS 1 as well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Just a standard logcat, or is there something special about the type of log needed? I'd be happy to take a few logs this morning.

I'm not really sure what Antutu tests do, but perhaps it's not requiring all the cores. For me I noticed that often only cores 0 and 1 are needed at 100%. Then when 2 and 3 kick in they each are only to less than 100% used up. Perhaps it's less to do with throttling than with hotplugging and the kernel/governor deciding what's needed or not needed. If you really want to test throttling I'd recommend setting governor to performance and finding a way to keep all cores online. Then they should only go off when throttling kicks in.

EDIT: Freq throttling starts at 60 for me. Could someone with a non-rev11 device or PVS above 2 confirm? What I did was run Antutu stability test with perfmon monitoring CPU until I noticed that cores are at 100% but only at 1.9 GHz. Then I switched to FauxClock and looked at temperature. This might be due to intellithermal not being set, or set incorrectly, as thermald starts freq throttling at 60, regardless of the parameters you set. No obvious signs of core throttling. This is more evidence for the fact that it might be thermald active instead of intellithermal, as thermald tries to lower freq first before turning off cores. I set intellithermal to do the opposite.

Hello

is normal after installation of kernel 003.m AnTuTu decrease from 30000-23000?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Are you using intellidemand? Try it again with ondemand governor if you are. I think there may be some issues with intellidemand for now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] liviugreuu:
with ondeman, I grows up to 34000.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
This seems more like it. I noticed this order in terms of performance from highest performance to lowest performance (in the ones I've tested):

Faux ondemand > stock ondemand > Faux intellidemand.

My testing was done with FPS meter in Riptide GP2 though, so it may not be the most accurate. But your Antutu test results seem to support my observations.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sparx639:
Are you undervolting? Have you tried the new beta? I'm on the newest beta, revision 11 PVS 2 and my problems aren't so noticeable now
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
makes totally sense :)

thanks for your interesting input, for me it makes totally sense like that.

ondemand is for good performance, one of the strongest next to "performance governor and VM where available,

while intelligdemand is what it says intelligent, which is never best performance but seeking a good if not

one of the best performance to battery usage ratios and this is exactly how intellidemand performs.

i'm glad to have intellidemand since it gives me a good performance for normal use while it still treats the battery with care.

let's keep in mind that usual smartphone tasks ask for quick and relative short peaks while spending most of the time

in moderately demanding tasks and/or idle mode.

it's always possible to use another governor for gaming, videos etc. even per app if needed and those who only

play games should probably use a playstation or similar device. the fact that modern smartphones are quite

well performing in games does not mean that they are mainly built for such tasks. it are mainly communication

devices after all :)

Hey faux, would it be possible for you to integrate the screen dimmer module with your kernel so we don't need to reapply it at every boot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sparx639:
Try logging the kernel and logcat the ROM, we still aren't super sure what it is yet
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
I do understand that intellidemand isn't the best for high performance, but it stutters even on basic animations such as entering app drawer. All those disappear with ondemand. I might try interactive as I have had good results with that on previous devices.

Another issue is with Snake Charmer not working. For some reason anything less than 2.49 GHz is considered "underclocking", and cores 0 and 1 will cap at the 2.26 GHz I have set, but 2 and 3 will go up to 2.49 if the load is heavy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
i see :)

hi,

yeah you have a point there i must say, i'm just so glad for the extremely low battery usage that i gladly forgive for the little lag

for the icons to jump in places LOL

anyways, since i could not reproduce the color settings due to the now not anymore available gamma settings i went back to

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:

hi,

yes the kernel as it comes ( i'm using latest beta currently ) is good to go.

only things i have changed are:

- gamma a bit closer to 2.2, currently rgb+wb not possible to bring to 2.2 alltogether,

. max i got was 3 out of the 4 to 2.2 [ you need the nexus 5 gamme revers app ( free ) ]

- a bit higher thermal thresholds

- max gpu clock at 450

- bfq scheduler and 2048 readahead

- all memory manager settings slightly higher

- all misc to on
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
I find that my thermal thresholds aren't being respected by intellithermal. I set it to freq throttle at 80, yet it freq throttles starting at 60, which is the stock value.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kr3w1337:
Okay the proximity sensor not being respected when s2w is on is a kernel bug.
