Re,

At least you use the search function ;)

It's why this thread is made, to speak of stuff non related to developpement, like you said if x kernel work with Purity rom, or if x feature is implemented, clean or dirty flash with the last update? or why my battery drain is huge, etc... But users need to know that this thread exists and why...

You are right, I will add instructions to flash/update (something light) in a few days (at least with CMW since I don't use TWRP so I don't know much about it) :)

Hey there

I asked this question before and tried searching before asking again bu no success!

Does the latest version have the problem that brightness resets to 75% after reboot?

Thanks for your efforts...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

I never had this issue :confused:

Ok I saw your post about it, I'm always with manual brightness and it never happened to me.

I can't confirm to 100% but for now nobody has reported this issue... Backup your current rom and try the last update to see.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soroush0313:
Flashed the latest version now and set the brightness to 10% manually and when I reboot my phone its reset to 75% automatically!!!

Do you use another kernel other than the one coming along the rom?!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ah :confused:, weird... whatever the brightness level I chose it remains the same after reboot.

Yes I use Trinity kernel and no issue...

Do you use another kernel? Any Xposed module? An app related to brightness settings?

Clean flash?

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soroush0313:
I think the issue is from default kernel! I'm coming from completely clean install flashing pa micro modular gapps and no apps installed...

So I think the issue is related to the kernel! Thanks anyway man...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok, weird because it seems you are the only one who has reported this issue... unless all other users use another kernel, uses auto-brightness or set their brightness to 75% or above?

When this issue started exactly?

Honestly I'm sorry I can't help more, wait for feedback/help ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soroush0313:
I flashed the last two build and on fresh install I have this problem with both versions! Not a big deal and its not only me! If you search brightness on the main thread you will find posts that has issue like me! Will try changing the kernel and report back here...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's what I've done ;)

If I'm not wrong there is "only" 2 users, one is you :). The other user it's when he reboot via the power meu (apparently issue fixed with another kernel, Franciscofranco). I use always this method with no issue (I agrre with another kernel too). I used Purity kernel but I don't remember if I reproduced the same condition because no issue.

Ok, no worries. If it's related to the kernel, need to report the issue in the dev thread :good:

But weird, there is other users who use Purity kernel...:confused:

Mentioned many times...for example see post #3122. Stock kernel.

I still have this brightness issue, but I'm on a later version since traveling out of the country.

Doesn't sound like its been addressed in newer release....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

Maybe I'm stupid, blind or I didn't understand but we don't speak about the same thing here, what you are referring is a glitch with the brightness slider: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2528265&page=313 :confused:. Here nothing is mentioned about the 75% manual brightness bug?

soroush0313 is speaking about the manual brightness that came back to 75% after a reboot even if he set it to 10% for example before rebooting... I've searched for brightness and there is only 2 users with this issue.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Thanks vikings. Guess I wasn't clear, but I'm referring this as well:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ah ok, no worries :). So you have it also, 3 for now.

With the stock kernel too, how you reproduce it exactly?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Any reboot will increase the brightness. Then I set it to my usual 8% and it works fine till next reboot...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok, like soroush0313 no Xposed modules or apps to control the brightness?

I will try tomorrow with Purity kernel to see, need to investigate this :)

I put on PA Google dialer back in December. Ever since I've been happy with it. But now I thought I would give the purity dialer a chance... One problem... I can't seem to get rid of the Google dialer!

My objective here is NOT to have to do a full wipe.

I have dirty flashed purity and have flashed many updates of the other banks standard gapps and PA stock packages. The Google dialer always remains.. Anyone know the trick?

EDIT: Solved it. You need to wipe the system first. Then you can flash purity and then you need to flash gapps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucleotide:
Interesting. If you flash purity like you say you did, it should have wiped system automatically.

Wiping dalvik, and cache should been enough to achieve what you wanted, assuming you flashed Purity and the appropriate GApps correctly. :good:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

Not a single issue like you describe for me...

And you are the first user to report something like this. Dirty or clean flash (if dirty flash, coming from what build and now you are on the last build?), have you flashed something else (apart the Gapps, and what Gapps?) like mod or theme?

Have you deleted some system apps?

Try to clear data and cache for settings and contact in Settings/Apps or/and wipe Dalvik cache in recovery.

But if I were you I would make a clean flash in this case...

If you have already done a clean flash then it's something on your side... so in this case try to make a dirty flash (wipe only Dalvik cache and cache).

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Re,

Clean flash and you have these issues... weird.

The last stable build is the one you flashed (

KVT49L from the 16/02). Available always at the same place, where you downloaded the one you use (link in OP).

Dirty flash rom and Gapps.

I use this build without any issue like yours (clean flash for me) and like I said nobody has reported something like you. You must do something wrong...

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Re-reading your post..., try in first only the Gapps, the one you use are not up to date: 2013-10-31! Here the link for the PA Gapps (the one in the dev thread): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44417509.

Personally I use BaNkS Gapps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34610569.

Your FC's can be due to your old Gapps...

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucleotide:
If you're not prepared to do a clean flash, every now and then, don't update - ever! Stay on the same build. Dirty flashing will 'always' present issues - maybe not straight away but eventually something will not sit happy and for it to go away, a clean flash will be the only answer.

Assuming you've done a full wipe/clean install, I'm leaning towards a bad download.

Did you check the MD5 checksum of both the ROM and GApps once copied to your phone?

I'm going to hazard a guess that one of the MD5 values don't match.

On seconds thoughts, based on this, which I missed msyelf :D I think viking might be onto something.

You are using a really outdated version of GApps. The latest PA Gapps and ROM work fine for me as well so this could be your issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok for the contact FC it's done by clearing cache... but honestly update your Gapps to avoid bug, weird behavior or whatever. Yours are way too old...

For the FC when you change the volume, yes maybe not related to the Gapps.

Download Catlog or aLogcat from the Playstore to grab a log and post your log here or in the dev thread (maybe better) or both :D

Or begin again from scratch to see, maybe it will be better.

Hey, I have just installed Purity and I'm having the same issue, running ElementalX kernel. Facebook chat notifications on Messenger and neither FB app work.

May or may not be allowed to ask this, but has anyone used this with franco kernel, and also tried cataclysm+franco and came to a conclusion which combination has the better battery life?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucleotide:
For the 1000000000000 time, battery life is 100% user determined.

Franco is a great kernel, so is stock. Both ROM's are also decent, however I prefer Purity over Cata.

Battery life on the other hand is going to be different from one user to the next. Just because I might be pulling 4 hours SOT doesn't mean you will. If battery life is that important to you, you will take the time to try different combinations (kernels and ROMs) yourself and decide which is best suited to your needs.

What do you mean exactly, after a reboot? Did you apply the settings?

EDIT: with Purity kernel?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirovai:
Yes with purity kernel. Anyway System Monitor (FKU app) don't shows me the freq I set

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello,

If you speak about the min CPU freq, it's normal.

It's how Mpdecision from Qualcomm works (for smoothness purpose). Each time you touch the screen the min CPU freq is increased to 1,26 Ghz. In fact the apps reads this at the min CPU freq because you touch the screen to open it. When you stop to touch the screen the min CPU freq will go back to 300 Mhz, the app needs to update the reading of the min CPU freq too but with Trickser Mod it seems it stuck at 1.26 Ghz all the time (for the reading only) but your min CPU freq is 300 Mhz when you don't touch the screen. You will see better this behavior with an app with "live reading CPU freq" like PerfMon or System Monitor.

The Purity kernel is based on stock and it keeps MpDecison, if I'm not wrong you are (was) a Franco kernel user, Franco kernel does not use MpDecision so you have not this behavior.

You can disable MpDecison but you will not have any hotplug routine anymore, all cores always online but yes here you'll be able to set your min CPU freq to what you want all the time, I mean the min CPU freq will not jump to 1,26 Ghz when you touch the screen.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirovai:
Thanks for explanation! Btw I was talking about max cpu. The freq used by the cpu is higher than that I set... Maybe FKU and trickster mod can't work together?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ah! But you also said about the min CPU freq so my explanantion above :).

Yes maybe, but if the two apps have the same settings it shouldn't be a problem, or at least, for example use only one for the CPU settings and the other for colour settings and let this one only "read" your CPU settings, don't set 1,72 Ghz in FKU and 2,26 Ghz in Trickster Mod or vice versa.

Maybe it's due to MpDecison too, sometimes you set a CPU freq and after a while it resets by itself (don't remember exactly the right explanation but something like the system call the MpDecision stuff and set again the stock CPU freqs, overwriting your own settings in the app).

In Trickster Mod have you tried the "Lock frequency" setting? But it should also lock your min CPU freq then..., maybe not the best idea.

If you want to get rid of MpDecision stuff properly, the only solution is a custom kernel with its own implementation of MpDecison , like showp1994 kernel with a ton of tunable settings for MpDecision (unlike stock), or a kernel with MpDecison disabled like Franco kernel. Also Elementalx keeps MpDecison, as far as I know I never heard an issue with underclocking.

The last thing you can try is to disable MpDecison in Trickster Mod and see...

Are you sure you apply your new CPU freq? Just in case...

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Other thing, if you use Trickster Mod for the CPU settings, you don't kill it in the recent apps panel?

Because if I'm not wrong, unlike FKU for example, if you kill Trickster Mod in the recent apps panel, the service is also killed and could messed up your settings (like it has been reported in Franco kernel thread before)...

Yep, just tested by killing Trickster Mod via recent apps panel and Trickser Mod disappears from the apps running and processes...But trying to underclock and see with another app, it seems the settings remains (but it was a quick test)...
