Hi Monkey Hung

Im afraid that's not going to happen. It was my intent to make this thread noob friendly as possible. Most noobs only know how to communicate asking lots of random questions in poor English so I'm really trying to cater for those here. Professional or not I can't be bothered to change it, this being my first post on XDA in months. Thanks for you valued input

Hi PuzzleGirl!

I'm good, had a nice Christmas and its standard to over indulge on food and drink this time of year, got to be done :D I hope your well!

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION] else

Weather or not I'll add nexus 6 to this thread I don't know, probably not. Most questions that could be asked around most other subjects are already here for all the other devices so it might be pointless adding repeat information. If I feel inspired sometime I might add it in. My patience has been some what lacking here and no matter how many people you help there's 6 who want help more than the guy you just helped and basicly I can't really be arsed anymore. Iv put loads in here although not as much as some others. I have been spending more time with other hobbies and interests. I still run FK and enjoy android but unless I decide I want to dev I have probably got about as much out of XDA as I wanted, made friends and met lots of people, gained knowledge and learnt enough to get by modding devices and fixing them!

Consider this an unofficial retirement from me, I might pop in from time to time but don't expect me to be posting any more than I have in the last 6 months. Good bye unofficially from me your local neighbour Gingerbread Man,

Steve

I purchased the Franco kernel app. Can I back up my Nexus 6 stock kernel with it?
[Android General] Binary Droids:
Yes you can. The FKU app is fully compatible with the Nexus 6.
[Android General] Ms. K:
Using his app is so fast and easy.

[Android General] ammarr:
Does anyone know if the purchased app (FKU) will work without Google Play Services? I'm running one of my phones without gapps (no need for it), but I can purchase on another device and copy over the apk.
[Android General] Mythos123:
this was asked in the main thread as well by another xda member...

anyone know, where to put the colour profiles in for new FKU (material design), i have put them in the color_profiles folder in franco_kernel folder in sdcard but its not showing up in the profile list in the app. txt extension is removed.

Nexus 5 & Tapatalk.
[Android General] murfi:
excuse my ineptitude. i downloaded the franco kernel updater app, the free one. clicked on auto-flash&reboot, and it downloaded and rebooted.

now what? the menu button and the settings-button in the updater app dont do anything. i cant find any settings either. whats the point?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Because the free app only install the kernel, need the paid app to tweak/tune the kernel.. Or command lines, tasker, trickster....
[Android General] angus242:
Ever since the material design app update, I've been having trouble getting settings to save. I have seen others report this in various Franco kernel threads too. A most basic one is backing up a kernel. If I try to, it looks backed up but if I go back to app main screen and to backup, the one I just tried to save isn't there.

Any ideas?
[Android General] YogliB:

I saw image for Performance Profiles where it says you can automate this actions by mentioned Tasker via :

"com.franco.kernel.POWER_SAVING"

"com.franco.kernel.BALANCED"

"com.franco.kernel.PERFORMANCE"

I would like to make a Widgets with Script Manager.

What do I have to do?

Where can I find these?
[Android General] fatspirit:
These are already there. You just have to find out how to broadcast them via Script Manager. BTW, they're intents.
[Android General] alpha007org:
fatspirit: Do you know how to "broadcast" them? How to "start" them in Terminal Emulator? Just typing them doesn't work.

(I have some linux knowledge but I am not familiar with Android system)
[Android General] fatspirit:
I use AutomateIt Pro that has required functionality.
[Android General] iaguilera14:
Is there a way to use tasker to automatically disable the charging LED? Similar to how you can change profiles with tasked. I think it would be cool to disable it at night time and turn it back on during the day. So I can avoid the bright light but still use it when charging during the day.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Yes, just have tasker execute the echo commands listed in the kernel thread to enable/disable the led...

Double tap to wake

Everybody knows this, but with the nexus 6 would it be possible to double tap (or single tap) to wake in ambient display ?
[Android General] Cincybearcatfan:
How do I turn of the green LED charging light? It drives me crazy as I try to sleep.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

I searched and this seems to be how I need to turn off the charging light. My problem is how do I grant Terminal Emulator root rights? Normally when I open an app that requires root, it asks me for permissions, this app didn't do that so I went through the process of typing that LONG script above only to have it tell me permission denied. I'm assuming that is because I haven't been granted root rights.

Anyone know how to get root rights with Terminal Emulator?
[Android General] shawnbrennan55:
You can change root privileges for any app using the SuperSU app.
[Android General] iaguilera14:
Thank you. Is there a specific place that all of the echo commands are listed for shamu. Not sure where to look and didn't see anything specific in the n6 Franco thread. Thanks!
[Android General] atulclassic:
supposing you are rooted and supersu installed.. just type su in terminal and it will ask for root permission
[Android General] Mythos123:
Hi fellow XDA-members!

This was asked in the main thread as well.

I'm running FKU version 12p403 (403). On previous versions I managed to put custom color profiles in the color_profiles folder in franco_kernel folder on sdcard. When I do that now the profiles don't show up in the profile list in the FKU app. Txt extension is also removed.

Am I doing something wrong, any solution for this?

[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Changing kernels breaks the setup.. Reflash fkr10, reset you light flow and reconfigure... This is a known issue for pretty much every kernel from what I've read...

Boost audio on Nexus 6

Is there any way possible to boost audio: speakers, headphone, and ctr on nexus 6 with franco kernel installed?

Thank you all.
[Android General] DebianUser:
How do you access mis settings to change headphone to headphone volume 2?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Not til Franco adds it to the kernel... (this question better asked in the device thread as it's device specific)

Hmm?

[Android General] xet:
Hello guys ,

I ve bought the phone, rooted and installed this beautifull kernel.. I want to ask you .. I am between interactive and conservative cpu governor.. I want a good performance but i woudnt sucrifice a lot of juice .. What do you tevommend??

Do you have experiences betwrrn the two??

Thank you
[Android General] christianrance:
As [MENTION=4860519]Tzfardaya[/MENTION] indicated this is a device-specific question and should be asked in the relevant thread, however, in the interest of helping others...

One way to enhance audio (increase max volume) is to modify the following variables in the "mixer_paths.xml" file located in /system/etc. The default values are "84" but increasing these values will increase your speaker/headphone volume levels. I wouldn't recommended going higher than "95" to avoid damaging the speakers.

Once finished, save the file and reboot for the changes to take effect.

[Android General] mn147:
I want to set up tasker in conjunction with betterbatterystats to run some diagnostics on my battery running franco.kernel.

here's what I would like to do:

dump bbs stats/set custom ref/change guv

@ 75%, 50% and 25%

I've got the bbs task down, my question is, using tasker to change guv need I change only one core or all? in other words if I setup tasker to change core0 say from conservative to interactive, will this also change the other cores? also I noticed that franco.kernel usually runs only 0 and 1. this, I suppose, is why tasker won't let me change guvs for cores 2 and 3. assuming tasker will change guv for one core only, what happens to cores 2 and 3 when they kick in, will they stay on last applied guv or change? thanks
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
You need to change the Governor for all 4 cores independently... The reason why you're having issues with cores 2 and 3 is they're not active when you're triggering... Best bet is to use Tasker to drop hotplug threshold to 0 before making changes to all the governors, then resetting it back to the previous value (which you'll have to figure out on your own... Depending on the device/kernel version it ranges from 70 to 98)
[Android General] mn147:
what does dropping hotplug threshold do?

LG G2 L-01F with tapatalk pro
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
By lowering the hotplug threshold, you lower the requirements to activate cores 2 and 3, by lowering it to 0 you're turning all 4 cores on all the time. I think Franco's n6 thread is the only one where the merits of quad vs dual vs variable hasn't been debated to death...

Quad core usually means more performance at a minimal battery cost, dual core (hotplug threshold at 100) means slightly better battery at a small performance cost. Anything between means cores 2 and 3 will turn on and off depending on the system load. I usually run a threshold of 15-25, low enough that the phone stays in quad when I'm using it (no battery hit turning them on and off) but high enough that screen on idle still let's the device drop to dual core... (say when I'm reading a book)

cool. I'll try it out

[Android General] Stigga:
Does enabling color profiles or using per app scripts to make certain apps (very few games) use the performance settings cause battery drain? Thanks!
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Colin profiles, no, performance settings, yes.
[Android General] Stigga:
Thanks, is it just using performance settings for some games or the action of switching back and forth too?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Just using increases drain, switching is minimal/nonexistent additional drain.
[Android General] Stigga:
Thanks!

[Android General] ToYeD:
I have a question. I've searched and it seems nobody has asked this yet. I bought the full Franco.Kernel Updater app when I was using Franco, but I'm now on ElementalX. Can the Franco.Kernel Updater manage any custom kernel that is not Franco or is it limited to Franco Kernel?
[Android General] fatspirit:
It probably can, but in very limited way, like governor/scheduler or frequencies change.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
It's designed specifically for the Franco kernel, but, any options that share control paths will work for other kernels too, but any options specific to those kernels won't be adjustable through FKU... Your better off using the tools designed for the specific kernel you use.
[Android General] ToYeD:
Any idea which app is built specifically for ElementalX as flar2 mentions nothing about one on his kernel thread?

Alternatively, would you know which tweaks I'd need to do in order to stop chrome and other scrolling apps from freezing up on Franco Kernel? That's my only issue with it. Its an amazing kernel otherwise, I'm just sick of apps freezing up when I'm scrolling.

Edit: I've searched and can't find why it freezes on scrolling apps. And I can't post in the Dev sections to ask.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Compare the settings between the two, adjust the Franco settings to match the other.

sensor_ind wakelock persistency (or lack thereof)

Hi all, VERY new to posting in forums, however, been lurking for a while doing my own educating and what not.

Running:

N6

Stock ROM 5.0.1 - encrypted, rooted, twrp recovery

franco.kernel r19

Xposed

Greenify

Adaptive Brightness - ON

Ambient Display - OFF

I have tried enabling, disabling, and re-enabling this wakelock setting under "Kernel Settings" with apply on boot checked and many reboots completed as well. (and verifying that the settings stuck after reboots - according to the franco kernel app anyway)

Directly after a reboot and for some variable duration afterwards the wakelock is indeed not showing up in BBS's list of kernel wakelocks and all seems well. At no particular time nor after a particular event (that my skills or knowledge have allowed me to find) the sensor_ind wakelock will appear and run for hours and hours. Seeing as this was the MAIN reason I donated to downloaded Franco's app package I am bummed out that this isn't working well. :\

Can someone please advise?

Can Greenifying the FK app cause this?

PS - Please any thrashing you feel like dishing out if I deserve any. I have browsed this site along with Google resources for days now to the best of my abilities to find an answer along with emailing Franco himself, but have not gotten a reply yet, however, he was very prompt with my questions last week or so.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Something somewhere is resetting the value.. Are you using the set on boot function for that wakelock toggle? Greenifying the app wouldn't affect that, but you shouldn't greenify fku anyways...

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

And, upgrade you stock rom... Most of the Sensor_ind issues were patched in 5.1...
[Android General] organick87:
Yes I sure am.

About your statement about Greenifying though, for example I use the Advanced Power Menu+ Xposed module (that has an actual app for it not just accessible in the Xposed Framwork Installer inferface) to add the "reboot" function my N6's power menu and if I Greenify this app then the "reboot" function does not appear in the power menu. My thoughts were that this behavior was also occurring with the FKU app because up until now I had it Greenified. I have since de-greenified the app to see if maybe if for whatever reason it really was affecting it.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
The wakelock toggle is a fire and forget... I stays at the set value until the device reboots, or something else changes it. As long as fku is autolaunching at boot, and saying active long enough to change the value in the appropriate file before getting greenfield, it wouldn't matter... But, that's one reason why you shouldn't greenify fku, another is that fku doesn't hold wakelock and has no discernable battery drain (unless you've opened it and are actively using the app)

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Greenifying everything can be worse for your battery than not greenifying anything... You need to track down which specific apps are holding unnecessary wakelocks, and greenify only those apps.
[Android General] organick87:
FKU is de-greenified as of a couple hours ago. I do all my wakelock/battery testing overnight so I will see if there is any change in behavior tomorrow morning. I suspect that I will somehow.

I have heard this Greenify rule before also. It may sound odd, but the majority of apps that I have on my phone are more or less, one time use type apps. What I mean by that is apps like the Calculator app that I'll go on for a minute or two and not know when the next need to use it will arise. Whatever apps I have that I use in this manner, I Greenify. This method so far has gotten me 98% deep sleep fairly consistently since I've gotten into wakelocks and advanced battery optimization. As of now the only wakelocks I have issues with are the already mentioned sensor_ind and a few system-based ones which are in the process of seeing how far I can limit them with Amplify.
[Android General] WolfFX:
Hello ToYeD, I'm having the same issue with scrolling apps lagging, sometimes mid-scrolling it freezes for some seconds.

Hey guys

I bet this had been asked before, but is there a way to enable double tap to wake on the nexus 5? I thought the Franco kernel updater had this feature, but I can't find it anywhere to activate.

Anyone know why I can't swipe to wake or sleep on my nexus 6? Can double tap to wake but not swipe, I'm on r31. Thanks.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Because that's not in the default/stock rom/kernel... Franco doesn't add those to his kernel, so...
[Android General] DannyDrama:
I definitely remember running a version that had it because I used it specifically for that feature. Thanks for the reply though. Franco is the only non stock kernel I've used on my N6 so I'm not getting confused with another kernel or rom.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
The oneplus one has support for tap and swipe baked into the rom, other third party roms have those baked into the rom as well. If you're using the stock rom and Franco's kernel on the n6 you've never had swipe to wake (unless you were using one of the third party modified Franco kernels with it added.)
