Colour Controlz

RGB sliders have been added in to the FKU beta app so finally we have a little control over our screens colour calibration. Personally I found my display just a touch too warm and now now longer is an issue now I have tuned it.

When you make a profile and save it, upload the file somewhere and leave a link and I'll download the file, then I'll upload to the collection and I'll keep them organised and rename to my OCD standard (I really don't like it when listed items have some starting with capitals and others not and spaces between words).

To load profiles you just need to download them and place the file in SD/Franco kernel updater/colour profiles, then go to the app and look for the desired file. If / when nexus display control app gets updated the same applies but put the files SD/nexus display control/colour profiles.

Whoz da Osmodz¿

[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] has played a significant part in the development of the Franco kernel mostly on galaxy nexus and nexus 7 2012. He is a highly respected member and has fingers in several projects around xda including working directly on Franco's kernels for Gnex and N7. He takes Franco's kernel and with some help of the other Franco Dev Team help further optimise settings to ensure you guys always get the best setting for performance and battery. These include modifications to interactive governor and the Franco Dev Team spent along time optimising all the IO schedulers for best performance. These changes all got put through to the main Franco kernel. Since Franco doesn't have much time for Galaxy Nexus with all these newer devices Osm0sis is pretty much the main maintainer for it these days.

good thread! my suggestions on how to improve that FKU:

1) it doesn't tell you the version number, it gets cutoff at the side there?

2) eliminate that right part of the app, its weird how it has 2 'planes' kinda annoying to have to swipe one of them away

3) make it more user friendly with checkboxes instead of values u have to enter, newbies won't know what is high/low range

4) also make a set on boot option radio button on each page of settings, no one knows the LONG press lol

5) have cpu/battery temp readings on the 1st page of app, not in system monitor, i hardly use that app

thanks

last_kmsg

I'm using franco's r13 with Cataclysm rom and my phone rebooted while I was using whatsapp earlier today. I'm using Dalvik (never switched to ART) and have done no UV/OC/UC. Here's my last_kmsg.

Hope it has some useful info in it :)
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
1 & 2 that's by design which Franco is following googles design principles. Check out just about any Google app you find they have multi panels and swipy bits

3 I think is planned I want it to

4 I don't understand set on boot radio. What do you mean there bud? With the long press set on boot is constistant around the app. Once you found it you will know. I think there's a mini tutorial which mentions that if you wipe your app data and reboot you should see

5 Franco felt the status page was redundant and removed it
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Done :silly:
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
welcome and congratulations on your first post and submitting a bug report in hte correct way, your off to a flying start here! These posts where you are reporting a reboot are best in hte main franco thread. Franco said he probably wont monitor here so it could get missed by him.
[Android General] liperus:
Haha thanks :) I've been following the other thread (yes, all 300+ pages of it :P), but I can't post there ( dev thread and it's my first post :( ), so I posted it here. Maybe someone can "forward" it to franco's thread?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
il quote your post and copy paste to the main one. You need 10 posts i think to post in dev threads
[Android General] liperus:
Thank you. Yes, exacly, I need 10 posts...

And thanks for this thread, I hope it'll ease things in the main one. It's definitely annoying seeing the same questions again and again and again every 5 posts.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
No worries youl be up to 10 posts before you know it! The idea of this thread was to stop those questions or refer them here. It gets like this in every device tbh and it annoys me and like you I tend to read most posts in threads I subscribe to

My Nexus was on stock ROM with franco

I already flashed back to stock kernel, and then try to flash zip file for 4.4.1

but it got an error on unexpected file "thermal_h_h" and then the installation aborted

Is there anyway to fix this without clearing my data?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Fastboot flash system system.IMG

Fastboot flash boot boot.Img

They only over write the ROM and kernel. All your personal stuff is under data. The above commands are the easiest way to return to stock. Unless your PC is too **** and freezes like mine :mad::banghead:
[Android General] whitedragonz83:
With my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, I've always just needed to fastboot the boot.img. This is also how I typically flash Franco kernels. How/why are system.img files being modified during this process? What's different with the N5 vs N4/GNex?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Power.msn98 something blahdie blah don't know exactly its purpose and thermal something or an other. The files get over written to have a .bak extension so keep their services from ever starting as in their normal forms are services which cannot be stopped any other way.
[Android General] thomas999:
I have problems flashing the 4.4.1 OTA update in CWM, always getting Status 7 error.

Is it due to Franco kernel ?
[Android General] Binary Droids:
If you're still running it while attempting to flash the OTA, then yes. You need to have the stock kernel and unmodified system files to flash OTA's. Franco's kernel also renames 2 system files that need to be renamed back. I don't know them offhand, but the instructions are in the OP under "Return To Stock".

[Android General] fugn:
I flashed the factory system.img & boot.img which should over write franco's changes and return it back to stock 4.4 kernel. When I flashed the ota.zip everything rebooted fine but the dialer and the home button did not work. I ended up doing a factory reset using flash all script. Was there something I missed?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
That doesnt sound normal I don't know what happened there. Just rebooting may have fixed it. Obviously those functions work normally so its something funky going on your end.
[Android General] Dolphin Trainer:
Can anyone recall if Franco Kernel previously supported mounting USB devices without the need for Stickmount?

I was mounting devices without stickmount installed (Nexus 7 2013 w/4.3) and had assumed it was because of Franco, but that feature is absent in r19 for Nexus 5 KK and now I am wondering if maybe it was never a feature of Franco and it was something else? (Definitely wasn't stickmount, I had uninstalled it).
[Android General] osm0sis:
Might just need the vold entry in the fstab. But you're right it is working without Stickmount on my GN and N7'12.
[Android General] myvijay:
I searched for the values to tweak mic gain but could not find it so posting this. I would like to know what the range for mic, headphone and speaker volume gains are in FKU app. I am using N5 with 4.4.1. The volume has increased after the update but I would still like to increase mic gain so wanted to know what the range is.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
The range for all those tweaks is -20 - +20 with 0 being the stock value. I don't know the command or exact file path, if you ask in the n5 thread you may get better answer. However if you were to purchase the app you could change the values in there without scripts and stuff.
[Android General] myvijay:
Thanks for the response, I had bought FKU, long back when I got my GNex. In there FKU used to display what range it could set, now it shows the current value and you must know the range. I had read somewhere that negative values means higher gain for the mic and the opposite for other gains but I cant find the post any more. Are max values safe to use ?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
I wouldn't try anything higher than +15 for speaker boost simply because it is possible to blow your speaker causing perminent hardware damage which will result is everything sounding ****. Iv heard people say +6 is a good place to start. I wouldn't recommend trying 20 I think it should be limited to say 15 to stop someone blowing their speaker and go crying in the thread.
[Android General] samdal:
My FKU show max CPU of 1958. Is UC default in kernel (r19) or have I unintentionally changed the value?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Something on your end. Clear data for the app and reboot

[Android General] Martin-Doc:
I want to upgrade my Nexus 5 from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 via the flashable ZIP file. Do I have to flash both system.img and boot.img before I can make the upgrade? If so, where do I find these files? I guess those are not the files from the original 4.4 ZIP package.

[Android General] Martin-Doc:
Call me stupid, but I didn't get it from that thread.

I am running 4.4.1 and franco kernel. I downloaded the update ZIP 4.4.1 to 4.4.2. In order to flash it, I have to restore the stock system.img and boot.img files. This is where I am puzzled, since I only can find these files from 4.4. If I restore those, would it make sense to apply the 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 update?

I will be happy for a response containing actual words, not only URLs.

Thank you.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
4.4.2 will flash straight over 4.4.1 with Franco kernel installed, proved none of the other files the update will change have been modified.

Not to my knowledge
[Android General] Martin-Doc:
Just tried it. Nope, the flash failed.

Having Tasker and Secure Settings as system apps and some modules from Xposed installed, it probably modified the system folder. I say probably, because I am a doctor and never studied programing and do not completely understand the Android file system. Take my apology and do not be hard on me.

Now, I probably need to flash the stock system.img right? Probably the system.img form 4.4.1 right?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Yeah xposed modules do change system files in order for them to run. Tasker I don't think changes anything like that. You could try turning off xposed and rebooting and try again. Failing that fastboot system.img which won't wipe data or apps or your settings, only over write the rom.

Fastboot flash system system.img is the command. I put a fairly good detailed explanation in the 1st post which should help you.

Are you a medical doctor or in another field?
[Android General] Martin-Doc:
Thanks, will try tomorow, now I need to catch some sleep.

Yes, a medical doctor, psychosomatics.
[Android General] sordna:
The link I pointed you to is the proper place to ask questions about N5 OTA's, if the instructions it provides in the OP are not enough.

Anyway, I believe you only need to restore your stock kernel. Hopefully you backed it up before you flashed franco, right? FKU and other apps, as well as custom recoveries, can backup your kernel at any time, so make sure you do that after any system update.

Other than the kernel, you need to rename any file under /system that ends in ".bak" to its original name (without the .bak that franco.kernel may have renamed them to).

ES file explarer can easily find hte files for you, and mount your system RW so you can rename them. That's what I did, and saved myself from flashing system.img altogether.

Alternatively, wait until Franco Kernel Updater app gets back kthe "Prepare for OTA" functionality, Franco said he will add it shortly. This will rename the changed files for you, but you'll still need to flash the stock kernel.
[Android General] kenpen:
Is there another app that allows me to controlled kernel outside of Franco's app from play store..

Thanks
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
There's trickster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod which is free but I recommend fku which ensures 100% compatibity with Franco kernel. Trickster is like one size fits all type thing, not all options are needed for Franco kernel and it doesn't have an option to download and autoflash the kernel.
[Android General] shiz222:
is there a guide somewhere that teaches you how to properly tweak franco's kernel? I was playing with undervolting ...but thats about it.

What are some of the tweaks people make?!
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
I'm afraid I can't be more precise than try to point you in the right direction here. I did link not too far back in the thread to page which gives a lot of information about a lot of the governors and various parameters. To be honest a lot of the tweaks incorporated by the Franco dev team (although Franco is the main man we were a bunch of guys hell bent on getting best results on galaxy nexus nexus and 2012 n7) all the tweaks have really all been integrated along time ago. Unfortunately we (as a group of handful of guys) are somewhat disbanded across several devices and can't create the data we once all collected testing all sorts of stuff like crazy. I miss those days. I'd love to see the old group come together again

Other than turning it on then off again I don't think you can. Iv never used it
[Android General] ProNewb:
I don't understand. What do you mean? How do i turn it on? I want to do this without fku app.

Thru the terminal maybe?
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
That feature isn't in the FKU, there's a separate app for it by another dev. If you look in the dev section there's another Franco kernel by [MENTION=4150128]PhantomGamers[/MENTION] who has enabled it on his build he is sharing on xda. I don't know anything more than that its not really a feature I care for. Here is the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47734977
[Android General] BirchBarlow:
So where is this so-called tutorial that explains all of the different options in FKU? I admit, many of the different settings are like Greek to me.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
I haven't had a lot of time for that I'm afraid. I have posted a link which explains some stuff. Search for posts by yellowdie in galaxy nexus thread and between him and osmosis and others there's a good amount of info around. I have been busy in my day to day life hence not much here has been added for sometime

Weird Battery Readings?

I seem to be encountering a rather odd issue. Specifically when using Franco Kernel (r23), my phone thinks it has over 100% charge. In fact, it think it's at 4000% +. Not really sure what's going on, the only fix I've been able to do so far is to go back to the stock CM Kernel, but I'd much prefer to use this, obviously. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android General] DerItaliener:
This is a Problem with CM.

Somehow they broke the compatibility again, as users report that battery stats are suddenly showing battery voltage instead of percentage with any Kernel but the CM Kernel. Unfortunately for you this is on CM ROM side, so you either have to wait for a fix in the nightlies, switch to an older/other CM version or change ROM.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
For people interested about various interactive tunables though its not my own wording but there's good information for an understanding.

Copy paste post from main n5 thread

You might find some of this useful from back in the galaxy nexus days, although not all of it will apply and some can't but there's a really good conversation about tunables and it might help people who are interested in learning about what things do and how they work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33126885 loads of good stuff until I say I feel my head is going to explode some pages later lol back when I new to this stuff

[Android General] casper312:
Hi. Under kernel settings, what do the plus and check mark symbols on the right of each setting mean? By default they are all pluses. Clicking on it changes it to a check mark. Sorry I tried looking for the answer but couldn't find it. Thanks!

Also, is there any way to force the vibration amp to be a number lower than 100 when updating the kernel? Personally 100 is way too much for me and I like to keep it at 30. Thanks!!
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Those are set on boot options, the plus thing means not set on boot, the book mark means set on boot. That should help with your 2nd question too

[Android General] jb0ne:
Ok based off all the glowing endoresements I just flashed Franco kernel r23. Also went and bought FKU on the app store.

And now I am completely. Frucking. Lost. I have NO idea what to do in FKU. I saw one post where someone said they undervolted by -75 and a number of other settings. I figured I'd do what they did. I went through all the voltage/mhz settings one by one and substracted 75. I tried doing their other settings (other than cpu binning 2, can' find it). But I can't set one thing, I think it was "target loads". That's because in their settings, there are spaced and colons. Well, the text entry screen I get does have a space but it DOES NOTHING when I press it, and there isn't even a colon! So I don't know about that one. Finally when I run the battery monitor in the background, every time I open it FKU force closes.

One more thing: I have r23. But FKU doesn't seem to detect it and is offering to download it for me. Why? I have it already.

And the last thing: PLEASE someone post a guide to what all these settings do! I'd love to see recommended settings for optimal battery life but still excellent perofrmance in Real Racing 3 for example. I'm LOST.

Edit: And all the changes I made disappeared when I rebooted despite making the bookmark into a check mark.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
If that's the way you feel then I don't think your ready for this. You need to understand what you are doing, this is frequently asked questions thread so I won't teach you everything here. By flashing non stock software by logic you should alteast understand what it does. Come back when you know what you are taking about
[Android General] jb0ne:
I've read this entire thread and many of the *844* pages of the main Franco Kernel Thread. Your reply was rather rude to be frank.

I'd just like to know what good settings are. Fairly simple request. I'd also like to know why I can't save my settings on reboot.
[Android General] sordna:
Best settings are the settings Franco.kernel has by default. Unless you feel and understand the need to change something, don't change anything except vibration strength!

The kernel has many improvements over stock without need to change stuff. Once you are used to the performance and battery life, you can start exploring tweaks. But first use it with default settings for a week or two.
[Android General] Binary Droids:
Personally, I leave it the way it is. Franco has done an excellent job of balancing the settings for battery life & performance. A couple of days ago I got 5hrs SOT & 14hrs total battery with the stock settings.

I could've squeezed more out of it, but purposely tried to use my phone as much as possible to see what the kernel could do. Took over 100 photos (geo-tagging on) in bright Florida sunshine, location settings on high accuracy, and mobile data only.

Try it out with stock settings for a few days to see how it works with your usage & then tweak from there.

[Android General] jb0ne:
sordna and Binary Droids, thank you very much. I will do just that, on both my N5 and two N7s, now that I have purchased FKU.

Edit: On both my N5 and N7, when I enable the Background Monitor in System Monitor Light, then try to access it from the notifications bar, I get ""Unfortunately, franco.kernel updater has stopped"

Is this expected behavior?
