Just stopping by to chat about N7 stuff with Steve. ;)

I'll probably hold out until the N6 (or N5-2) comes out then I'll decide if I want that or get the N5 on the cheap.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
I might check it out again in the future perhaps, thanks for the tip!

Its nice to hear of a rom with a different aprouch, most are all just the same imo. Iv been quite happy with stock though so far, no missing any features. Thanks for the links though :)

If you end up with a nexus 6 you can help me maintain this thread as I intend on having a post dedicated to it in the future.

The nexus 5 is still a great device though. If Google go for SD 801 / 805 the n6 will truly be a beast but the sd800 is still a very efficient chip.

Hey I tried out those new settings and haven't really seen any sign of worse battery life. I never get to test all the way to 3 or 4 percent, but at 75℅ battery from 100℅ I was able to get 2 hours and roughly 50 minutes of SOT time. Half the time I just leave my phone screen on and my time out is 30 minutes, but it was still impressive to me. Anyways just want to say thanks for the settings! They work great!

I tried that dalvik patch again earlier but went back to art, somehow I liked it more. I did get the bionic patch from the lg g2 (brothers in hw department with n5) and it made things maybe slightly smoother but its hard to say. So that's my set up, lg g2 bionic, art, updated 'developer' release GPU drivers along with my posted various CPU settings

Yeah I'm pretty pleased with these ones too, got enough power when needed for updating apps etc without lag while doing other stuff. Using per app mode for dual core I got 5.5 sot playing dune 2 on my n5. I was well impressed!
[Android General] wardawgmalvicious:
Do you think ART helps with your battery life? Or maybe I read wrong and you were using the patch, can't quite remember lol. I'm hoping that Xposed goes to ART eventually, probably won't til it's made the only runtime by Google I imagine, but I just can't give up Gravitybox and my other modules lol.

[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
To be honest I'm not sure if it helps battery life, I do know its supposed to reduce the workload on CPU so in theory it would save some but to be honest I can't be bothered to test it. I used use gravity box on my galaxy nexus but never bothered on my n5, didn't feel the need for it. When Google switches to make art default the developers will have to make it work or call it a day I guess.
[Android General] wardawgmalvicious:
I imagine it would be quite a pain to really test since there could be so many variables.

Lol I can't live without GB, I like all the little tweaks and customizations, I would feel naked without it.

And hopefully the developers keep going, cuz I don't if I would update then. I'll be one those guys still on KitKat wondering if some stuff will be back ported.

I tried to use gingerbread setting. Thx mate for the settings. Really love it!

I just want to ask. What is the standard sot with 3g on? Cause I got only 2.5-3 hours, while I saw there were someone who could get 5 hours sot.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
there is no "standard" for screen on time..

way to many variables... 3g, bt, wifi, nfc radios all affect it, what apps you use, what you do while the screen is on..
[Android General] silentsword:
Lol, I thought there was a standard of it. So it still heavily depended on the usage though.

Is there a way to know whether my battery is still in a good condition or not using fku?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
possibly in the system monitor section...

but there's no need for using an app... the info page of the phone (accessible through the dialer) has battery health stats...

[Android General] jaladhjin:
havin' a bad time tryin' to get "The Flasher" achievement on a Nexus 5..

When I go to the .zip in the file manager & hit auto flash it tells me I can reboot into recovery.. so I do.. via my PA custom boot menu.. & it just boots into recovery with the standard twrp setup & nothing happens..

So no flash..no achievement.. known or am I doing something wrong ?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Grab one of the image files from francos server, or backup your existing kernel then browse to that folder and flash that instead of a zip...

(I managed to get all 11 achievements so far... I'm scared what Franco will add as the 12th)
[Android General] jaladhjin:
Oh yeah good call I used the downloaded zip not one of the images..will have to try ty..

I just hope I don't get standard recovery setup again haha..

How did you get to recovery after you hit auto flash ?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
I didn't... I would just use the app to flash and image file, and the app would prompt me to reboot... There is no need to use a recovery...

[Android General] kalash_uhuru:
So to correctly install over a air updates I need to revert back to stock kernel. how do I do that?

Can I just flash some stock kernel I may find at xda or is there any way to do it inside the Franco kernel updater application?
[Android General] eretroactive:
newb here.

need confirmation but i read doing the opposite (going from faux to franco) may not be good directly due to possible hotplugging issues?
[Android General] zephiK:
no hot plugging issues, just flash the kernel.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
I think i said twice in the OP the best day to day settings are how the kernel comes with its default settings. Maybe i can reword it to be clearer perhaps. Better battery life can be gained by under clocking if you wanted. Gaming settings, well i just use the defaults but there is per app mode in the franco app if you raised the minumum cpu speed it may help get consistant fps

Sounds odd, clear Franco app data and go to your super user app and forget its root permission. Reboot and try r13 again sounds like something is playing up. As for benchmark nexus isn't meant for benchmarking, it doesn't matter if your friend has a higher number. Its about the software experience and fast updates and enjoying stock android.

Sounds like Google now launcher what ever its called is deeply integrated with the Google search app. You may need to use apex / nova

Id personally flash stock first then another kernel. Ram disk changes can be made.

I did explain about OTA update in the OP. Your phone will download it but won't install as the updater script checks if your on stock rom with matching kernel, boot loader, radio. If you can find a stock kernel around you can use Franco app to flash by putting it in the kernel backup up folder and then select it to restore and reboot. Personally I like using flashify to make a back up of stock kernel and recovery and upload then to my drop box.

As above, due to ram disk changes it may be better to flash stock first then a different kernel. You won't have hot plug issues though as that's just 0s and 1s saying to turn cores on or off under certain conditions.
[Android General] pidocchio:
just want to share my experience:

smooth experience, very good battery life

38h total, 4.5h screen on, 3h gsm talk, some wifi here and there with some browsing/g+ and 16% battery left :D
[Android General] bokoy:
It would be nice a fku guide, with the values max/min for those that are not clear like sound, mic...

And we can share the per app settings we use. Right now I'm not using any, but I'm interested in settings for games, I see that some like jungle heat or clash of clans works perfect with less hardware an they should run just fine with correct settings/underclock.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
I haven't really spent any time playing with any of the sound settings so all I can tell you is they have values of -20 to 20 and 0 is default. Anything over 0 is a boost and anything under makes it quieter. When boosting speakers it can cause hardware damage if your not careful, just because you can boost up to 20 it doesnt mean your hardware will appreciate it, your speaker could blow and distort. Unlike over clock or undervolt your device won't reboot and you could be left with permenant physical damage.

As for app settings I'm happy for you all to share and post them, I don't use that feature so don't know what to suggest. Higher min CPU speeds will cost more battery but could perform better in games for better frames per second.

Under volting you should test for your self at each frequency and isolate it setting each one as min and max testing for stability as you go through each one and take notes of what works. Only when after a long period of use should you even think if setting voltage on boot unless you want boot loop galore. You can use others for guides but no one should blindly copy another's settings as no SoC is ever exactly the same quality as another. In post 2 I have posted the stock voltage for all the PVS groups for SD800 so you can see the difference there and you can use it as a reference to return to stock if needed. Personally I don't under volt and don't recommend it.

Hmm quite impressive. Thanks for sharing ☺
[Android General] bokoy:
I didn't talk about undervolting, i said underclocking, I neither play with uv. You know, not running max frequencys for everything when they can run two or tree steps lower, i don't know if per app profiles allow independant voltages, but they allow freqs that i guess is what they are there for.
[Android General] Habs69M:
Ok trying these settings,only one i didnt find is cpu binning:2

Thks for sharing :)
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Sorry my mistake i misread. Under clocking can save some battery for sure and its much safer than undervolt. You can't apply voltage profile to an app, it works all the time when you do choose to under volt which is one of the reasons you have to be careful with it.

CPU binning 2 is not a setting, its a type. There's several different ones and they reflect the voltage your chip uses. Post 2 gives all that information and there's a link to another thread so you can find which one you have
[Android General] Habs69M:
Cool thks will look it up

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Ok im pvs 1 so not sure if i should keep those settings, even if it seems stable so far
[Android General] TheSpaceManatee:
Guys,

When I install franco kernel over another kernel and enter FKU, the clock settings that come preinstalled vary from 1ghz to 2ghz which is weird, however that's not the point. When I set it to 2.2ghz, and play intensive games or put it through Antutu benchmark, it will do a random reboot. Even though I did not set anything on boot, I can never boot into the ROM again, and need to install stock kernel to fix it. Is it my phone or does it happen to other ppl? Even r14, I cannot get past Antutu benchmarks..

Hi.

Could it be possible to add a module or something to the kernel where users who have a xbox 360 wired controller for pc could use it to play? It'd be nice.

Thanks ^^

[Android General] Ex1a:
I already tried it but it didn't work :( But if you know someone who has made it tell me how he didt it xdd

Some people have told me that to be able to use the controller a module has to be compiled with the kernel and told me to ask the developer who compiles the kernel. So here I am :s

I'll try again at home.

Thanks
[Android General] bokoy:
Doesn't it work natively? It does in the flo, mine is not rooted now, neither has franco, because it is going to the sat, and works whithout issues, I tried dead trigger 2 and works awesome, much better than this faulty touch screen on the f flo. I will try in the n5 and let you know.

Hi

I updated my Franco kernel today from version R42 I think to the latest using the FKU Free app, downloaded R45 zip, auto flashed, and my phone booted up fine and was working. I then began to use Chrome to browse the web. Was browsing for a minute or so, then the phone froze and then the screen went black and then appears to be not life. I have tried to connect it to teh PC and there is no response from the PC.

The phone was fully charged at the time and I have done this process numerous times and never had a problem.

Edit: Have just tried holding the vol up & down together as well as the power button for 10 secs and then releasing them and then pressing the power again. This got the phone to boot but now iand is running ok.

Thanks
[Android General] aow1980:
Try to hard reboot by holding the power + the volume down button together for about 10 seconds.
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
yeah, just hard reboot it... either booting to bootloader (power + volume down for 10-15 seconds) or just a reboot (power for 10-20 seconds)

Aounds like a lovely bash, def want to get the last_kmesg log from that one to pass around for a look-see
[Android General] vast524:
I tried this and after a couple of attempts it booted. I had to hold them down for the 10 secs and then press the power button separately and by itself to power up. It then got stuck at the spinning coloured balls. Rebooted and now is running. Thank you
[Android General] vast524:

Hey TGM, since flashing r47, I've had issues with the settings not sticking. Reboot always reverts to stock... Have you ever run into that and do you know what I can do to fix?

Thanks in advance!

[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Have you tried clearing fku's data?
[Android General] KTT16:
Thanks for the reply. I had cleared FKU data, uninstall, reinstall, reboot, sometimes it remembers that I set CPU to 1728, other times it starts at 1490..it was quite weird. I wish I had a video to show you guys. Lol...
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
That's odd, because the kernel has no effect on fku... So flashing different versions shouldn't cause problems like that....
[Android General] KTT16:
You're probably right about that. So it's an app issue then. Clearing data and reinstalling hasn't helped... What would you suggest at this point?
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Well, it's obvious something is buggered... Try wiping cache/dalvik, might help, but I doubt it.... But that is faster than reflashing the rom... (which may be what's required)
[Android General] KTT16:
Yeah, that's a great suggestion... I've tried that to no avail. Its okay maybe it'll go away on its own..I'll keep messing around! Thanks for the help!
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Dirty flash your rom?
[Android General] KTT16:
I'm just on stock rooted unlocked. Yeah it's so weird that this would happen so out of the blue.
[Android General] The Gingerbread Man:
Could be thermal throttle if your checking straight after rebooting. The boot process is CPU intensive. If you have a value set on boot by pressing the arrow things, reboot then check back after say 2 minutes leaving the phone completely idle. Other than that you could check your root is working properly, are you using SuperSU or the clockworkmod version?
[Android General] KTT16:
Thanks to both of you guys. I think that TGM was correct and that's what was happening here. After clearing data via app manager, I rebooted. I then rest the values as I wanted and I rebooted again. The app now "remembers" my set values. The only thing that is wonky is that it sort of doesn't immediately remember color profiles. It'll revert to stock... But when I turn the screen off and on again, the profile is correct.. Lol..
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
Ah, I made the mistake of thinking you were waiting until after the full boot sequence... And that's normal for the colour profiles... It needs a screen refresh after booting to apply... So boot, get fku applied toast, screen off then back on and everything should be applied.
[Android General] KTT16:
Yeah...I didn't clarify.. My bad. Yeah I was checking right after boot...thanks for the help and info guys!
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
No worries..
[Android General] morbidj:
Hey all! I have a question regarding FKU... I am familiar with capturing logcats with adb, how ever whats up with the logcat optioin in FKU? I am assuming it captures its own log file? If so where is it saved to? Thank in advanced...
[Android General] Tzfardaya:
No, it doesn't capture any Logcat, it enables or disables the phones ability to take a Logcat....
[Android General] morbidj:
With that being said.. Is there a benefit to turning it off? Increased performance, or anything?
[Android General] Shane_IL:
Making and storing a logcat does use resources, so turning it off saves memory and battery, but as far as I understand the effects of doing so are minimal. I turn it off when I know my setup is stable.
[Android General] morbidj:
OK thank you for the information.
