Hello, i'm using nexus 6 with franco kernel r34, i want to reduce the touch boost frequency but i dont see the option to change it in the fku app, from what i've read i have to change the input_boost_freq but i cant find it in the governor control.. Is there something that i missed?

HTC One M9 cm kernel (or lack of)

Hello, I'm having a tough time trying to get the cores for the M9 (msm_8994/ octacore) kernel for cm12.1 to behave properly. By default, the 4 little cores are ALWAYS ON and usually around 1300mhz or so. Even kernel controller apps don't seem to help with that.

Anyways, I was told that I should try to create an init.d script, and I'm hoping to get some help with that.

Here's what I want:

ONLY 1 big & 1 little core online when idle (at 384mhz)

But also want all 8 cores to go online as needed...and to be able to hit their max frequency:

big cores max: 1958MHz

small core max: 1555MHz

I know my init.d script needs to start with:

adb shell

Hello, I have a sort of noob question (sorry) I am currently on the latest elementalx kernel on 6.0.1 (nexus 6) running SuperSU 2.61. How do I go about flashing r37? Should I revert back to stock kernel then flash r37? Do I flash stock boot.img then stock kernel then r37? Or UnSU then stock kernel then r37? I've been looking on all their threads but find different answers, don't k ow which one is right. Thanks so much for the help!

Hi,

Have a question regarding FKU for Nexus 6P.

I'm currently on SuperSU 2.52 & Marshmallow 6.0.1

Using system root method since couple of root apps I use don't work with system less & just crash.

My question here is, will the latest build of Franco Kernel for 6P work on SuperSU 2.52 or does it have to be one of the beta versions that work use Systemless Root method?

Hoping to sort this out :)

Best Regards

Karthik
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Well, the information you're looking for is actually in the first post of Franco's nexus 6p kernel thread... That's usually the first place to look for 6p information...

Does applying monthly security update OTA's cause problem with root?
[Android General] fatspirit:
No. OTAs just won't be applied if system is modified.
[Android General] ijustwantaname:
I'm having a problem where my FKUpdater is losing its settings on each reboot. Specifically, the custom color and kernel settings (dt2w & vibrate strength). For kicks, I re-flashed the Nexus 6 factory boot & system.img's, re-rooted (SuperSU 2.65), and reapplied the Franco kernel (r42), but it's still not keeping those settings when I restart. The set-at-boot slider remembers its setting, but the specific enabled/disabled/whatever settings revert. Am I crazy??
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
How quickly after reboot are you Checking? Is fku throwing the "applying set on boot" toast?
[Android General] ijustwantaname:
I hadn't thought to distinguish, but you raise a good point. If I go in there immediately after a reboot before the "applying on boot" toast, I know the settings may not have been applied yet. Even after for toast though, my settings are back to the defaults. I can go in and set them and they immediately apply, but as soon as I reboot they'll be gone again.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
I asked, because there have been people who didn't realize that. So, my suggestion now is to turn off all your set on boots, reboot, (to stock settings) clear the fku app data/cache/settings, reboot again (probably not necessary, but hey..) then make your changes and toggle set on boot.
[Android General] ijustwantaname:
I should've said that I'd already tried this in my original comment. I did it again for kicks though, as I just flashed the February security updates. So I flashed boot & system.img's, booted into the OS, rebooted, re-rooted, booted back up, applied Franco Kernel, rebooted, removed all the set-on-boot settings, cleared the FKU app settings, rebooted, changed a few FKU settings, rebooted again, aaaaaand they're all back to defaults.

Interestingly, the set-on-boot sliders retain my settings between boots. It's just the actual settings of each of those components that is being lost. What the what?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Display changes? After the toast, toggle the screen off and on... See if that helps.
[Android General] ijustwantaname:
Huh, I thought I replied to this but apparently not. Turning the screen off & on head no impact on the color or kernel settings. Also, I removed root approval for the FKU app and let it re-request it... But no change. :eek:
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Time to post in the device specific kernel thread then, since Franco doesn't actually follow this thread (neither does the guy who originally started this thread.)

Just installed Franco Kernel on my Nexus 6 and loving it. I was wondering it there's a way to reset all the Franco options back to their defaults for my phone? I've changed a few things willy-nilly and would like a way to do a reset-to-defaults for all Kernel options to start afresh again.

[Android General] Empty Hand:
There should be no problem flashing a different kernel over Franco (although why would you want to :D). Check whether the file is a zip or img. If it is a zip, make sure it is for the N5 (hammerhead). If it's a .img, you will need to fastboot or use an app like Flashify.

Many thanks for this thread! I started reading the franko.kernel thread the day I ordered my Nexus. It took me until yesterday to catch up to the (at that moment in time) last post. :laugh: But then I found this thread and it was the last piece in the puzzle that convinced me to take the plunge and actually flash the kernel. As a recovering flashaholic (forced to go cold-turkey on a screw-you-Motorola-for-bootloader-locking-my-Photon) I'm actually amazed it took me almost three weeks to move off stock (not counting TWRP). :victory:

I have a Gnex and am about to order a Nexus 5. I just upgraded the Gnex from 4.2.2 to 4.3 and since this upgrade my wakelocks (especially NlpCollectorWakeLock) have skyrocketed and my battery has plummeted.

My question: do you all experience any extraordinary wakelocks on the nexus 5?

Come to think of it, I hope that this isn't too much OT.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Well your not off topic this thread is for all supported nexus. Google have made their services for location reporting quite bad for battery, I think anyone on anything newer than 4.1 is getting these wake locks. You can turn off location reporting and turn off WiFi when you don't need it. Turn off WiFi optimization and scanning always available and google now and that should help.
[Android General] osm0sis:
If you're going to use Wi-Fi at all then optimization is actually better. It powers down when it can and also does the equivalent of Wi-Fi PM Fast for screen off streaming. :)

Thank you:(
[Android General] osm0sis:
Did you seriously try to flash a recovery with a kernel app? That means you overwrote your kernel with a recovery.

Best thing to do would be to flash a kernel through fastboot.

Thank you!

[Android General] sweetrugger:
I've long used SetCPU on other phones and ROMs to underclock in general, and in specific instances/profiles (screen off, low battery, charging).

Given what the kernel and FKU app do, is SetCPU now redundant with Franco kernel?

You can set it in franco.Kernel updater app, don't need to use SetCPU anymore.
[Android General] pappy97:
I posted this question in the Nexus 10 Org Android Dev thread for Franco, but it seems deserted. Is there work on updating the Franco Kernel for Nexus 10 to work with Android 4.4?

I LOVED Franco Kernel r13 for Nexus 10 on Android 4.3, would love to see it on 4.4 incorporating the same features that were in Franco Kernel r13 for Nexus 10, like, perhaps, Steve Kondik's USB Audio fix. :)

Thanks!
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
I would imagine so but only Franco knows when that's going to happen.

This is the joys of fast boot, you think you killed it but most times with a nexus you can resurrect it. Seriously you should pay attention next time you flash. If you want to flash recovery.IMG use either flashify, another recovery or fast boot. Franco's kernel app writes only to boot.img area.

If your using Francos kernel I'd suggest using the fku app but there alternatives. Fku app is designed specifically for Franco kernel and set CPU is a one size fits all kind if thing. I can't say more without sounding like I'm attempting to advertise a paid application...

Lol
[Android General] sweetrugger:
I get that you can set max/min values for the CPU and for app-specific scenarios, but what about situation-specific scenarios (screen off, low battery, etc.)?
[Android General] JazzMozz:
I understand your comments. But what I don't understand is why some people with devices with 4.1 and above manage to achieve depletion rates of 0,1 to 0,5% per hour. Have they disabled all location features on their devices? If so, what's the use of having a smartphone? Why then not have a classic mobile phone? :p
[Android General] osm0sis:
Okay, I've been waiting awhile for help in the other few Nexus 5 threads I'm in, so perhaps the savvy franco crew can help.

I've got 3 burning questions about the Nexus 5 that need answering:

1) I need someone with a custom recovery installed to flash my Nexus BootUnlocker script so that the bootloader is unlocked but the tamper flag is set to false (if your device is currently unlocked that means flashing it twice in a row). You can then double check to make sure by typing: fastboot oem device-info

Then type: fastboot oem lock

Don't worry, only unlocking with fastboot wipes data. Then type fastboot oem device-info again and tell me if tamper remains set to false.

Then you can just flash my zip again (or use the BootUnlocker app from the market if you've rooted) to unlock again.

2) Please try my BootUnlocker zip with the latest official Nexus 5 ClockworkMod Recovery, some people are reporting that it doesn't work. This appears to be because on certain devices (though it works perfectly well on others) the getprop command is failing. Please, I need someone who the zip currently doesn't work for to try a new version I've made where I hope it will. Post here or PM me and I will give you the link to the new test version.

3) CWM recovery for the Nexus 5 uses a DTB image (a new thing added to kernel/recovery images so far seen with Snapdragon 800 devices). I have made a new version of my Android Image Kitchen that should work with these but I need someone to test it by downloading the latest CWM recovery, unpacking, repacking the file, fastboot flashing, then booting to recovery to ensure it worked. Again, post here or PM me and I will give you the link to the beta.

Thank you all! :D

[Android General] korsjs:
Couple questions.

1. I flashed latest franco kernel last night. Works well and would like to buy app from playstore to support. Do I need to go back to stock kernal before buying app or will the app know I am on the latest franco kernel and be ready to update when new kernels are released.

2. I am on stock rom, rooted, and unlocked. I understand franco will not work on CM11 builds. I plan on flashing a stock type room soon that has some of the mods like batter %, clear all aps, and power menu. Do I need to flash stock kernel before going to new rom or if it says it supports other kernels am I ok.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
1 if your on franco kernel and buy the app the app should detect that already, no need to flash stock kernel there. You shouldn't ever need to change kernel to buy any app (unless you wanted another devs kernel CPU manager type).

2 the ROM you flash will have a kernel included, flash it, let it boot then flash the kernel you want after you have booted at least once. If you plan on sticking with the same ROM if you want to change kernel again flash the ROM again without wiping, let it boot, then change kernel.
[Android General] Seattleite:
Okay, I know this may seem pretty novice, but since KitKat, I've not found a straight answer, as every thread blew up to 100+ pages overnight it seemed after that first batch Tuesday. Do we in fact still need to wipe cache/dalvik after flashing kernels, or is that an unnecessary step these days? I've been flashing for years now, and it seems as though some things can change overnight. While it is much faster with the N5 to do this process, I'm curious if it's even necessary.

TIA.
[Android General] benjdm:
I'm pretty sure you don't have to wipe cache / dalvik when you flash a kernel. I haven't been doing so.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
That's correct, no need to wipe cache or dalvik.
[Android General] jag826:
Custom Recovery

Is custom recovery required when using the franco.Kernel updater app? Can I just make a backup of the stock kernel thru the app and restore to receive OTA's? Also, is r15 stable are there release notes?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
No custom recovery isn't required, it can be handy to have one to restore a back up if you encounter a serious issue though. You can use Franco's app or flashify by Christian Göllner to back up a kernel and restore it later, I prefer flashify for this as you can use cloud storage. Francos kernel changes the name or adds a .bak extension to a few files of which the names I can't remember so after restoring stock kernel an ota would more than likely fail as the updated script would detect system changes. Best way to ensure its successful is fastboot system and boot imgs which is how I tend to roll when otas are happening.
[Android General] Neekapp:
Sorry if this has been asked... But can I use Franco Kernel with the stock ROM? I've already rooted but not sure on changing ROM's yet.

[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Not a Google restriction but that function can't be used for system apps, but you can convert chrome to a user app by either copying and pasting the apk to data/app or use the function in titanium back up. Same process if you wanted to greenify a system app
[Android General] wrext0r:
Ah okay seems legit. I didn't know that chrom was set as a system app. Have to twakt a bit because chrome need so much ressources...
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Resources don't really come into play other wise games would all be system apps. The best simple explanation I can offer is

System app; pre built into the rom you use

Data app; user downloaded and installed into the rom

If you look through on a root file manager you will see system/app and data/app
[Android General] wrext0r:
By resources I mean CPU usage. While browsing the CPU is quiet often in high clock frequencies. I just want to limit the frequency for chrome.

[MENTION=2918197]The Gingerbread Man[/MENTION] Awesome! Thank you! No worries about timing, I just finished working 45 hours in 4 days myself. :)

Really good info to know that basically unlocking is the only important tamper event. Someone said they had a look at the code and that flashing a kernel may set tamper to true as well, I'm less interested in that but you can check if you like. ;)

Now, can I send you the link to my Android Image Kitchen v1.8 so you can tell me if a repacked CWM reboots? See your PMs. :good:
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Repacking gives me this. Trying to repack cwm 6.0.4.5
[Android General] osm0sis:
Hmm that does look problematic. Try renaming the image so it has no spaces in its name and see if it works then. Thanks!
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
OK I'll try that now, this might make your day though. Fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img does not change device tampered state

Edit

Changing the cwm img I had to have no spaces did the trick and it was able to be repacked in your img kitchen, good catch there! The bad news is it wasn't able to boot to recovery and got stuck at google screen. I used the recovery img that the kitchen created and used the fastboot oem device-info command for the screen shot above. The kernel I used was r15v6 (latest n5 test kernel)
[Android General] osm0sis:
Hmm that's really unexpected. I've had people report success for N5 kernels and with TWRP repacks using v1.8. Thanks for the help, I'll look into it.

Great that the tamper didn't get tripped. Now people will only need to remember to relock before RMA to possibly avoid questions about why their unlocked device "hasn't" been tampered with. ;)
