So you know: blu_spark is compatible with new root method by Chainfire.

http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/

Just follow the instructions if you want to test it:

1. flash clean system.img,

2. flash that "systemless" boot.img provided by Chainfire

3. flash blu_spark zip

4. flash zip SuperSU v2.56

Keep in mind this is for stock ROM and this is not a SuperSU troubleshoot thread.

Any doubts or issues related to SuperSU post at correct thread.

I'm using latest blu_spark on cataclysm rom. When i turn on battery saver, even though max frequency is shown as 729, frequencies of individual cores seem to act irrespective of that. 2 cores always being online and each core reaching frequencies more than 729 every often. Can anyone confirm this? Sorry if i wasn't clear :/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
That freq is set by a binary on the ROM,so the cpu governor will use whatever is set by it, if set correctly.

It's userspace stuff.

You can try to turn screen off/on to force policy applying across all cores.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] askor:
Thanks for explain. As you see I'm from Poland so I don't speak english very well.... I think for someone who learn english from games and movies my language is quite good ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
Thanks for explanation. Not trying to be rude, but I tried elementalx on same rom before and it worked fine. As soon as I turned on battery saver, Max frequency and individual core didn't cross 729 (just like with stock kernel).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Because probably mpdecision isn't killed with fire like I prefer.

There's pros and cons.

You can try what I sugested if the saver is important to you. It will work fine.

Other than that, I simply don't care...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
If you use app like Tasker, you can detect when Battery saver is activated and apply your own settings instantly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
Thanks. I will try that. And one more thing i would like to report. As soon as I connect charger with battery saver turned on, it disables battery saver but this time, maximum frequency for all cores are set to 729. It's like battery saver feature is kicking after I connect charger. Disconnecting and reconnecting returns core frequencies to default.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Same thing applies...

Thanks a lot eng.stk, finally solved it :good: At first, I didn't understand the turn screen off/on to force policy applying across all cores part :o Realized it after some time and now its working as it should. Sorry for slight misunderstanding before :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zerosum0:
Tried this on a clean install. Was expecting great things. Sad to say got a lot of random closedowns. I'd flashed a stock factory image, with stock kernel. Flashed this kernel and it was fine for a day then f/c s.

Don't complain if you don't provide a logcat! :p

This kernel is the best kernel for our N5 and makes my Chroma flying to the moon!

Maybe Google solved some issues, but MRA58N with blu_spark is working better than on MRA58K, at least on the GUI level. I re-rooted using the 2.52 SuperSU Beta.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jacakk:
Can you tell how did you update? Flash only /system from new factory image?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
No, I flashed /system, /boot, radio and bootloader (bootloader has not changed). Rebooted once, flashed Chainfire's modified boot image, then 2.52 SuperSU beta and blu_spark kernel last.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] imperator01:
Any tips on how to boost the performance even more with this kernel?

Im using default settings and I have more then enough batterie life by the end of the day, more than I need tbho.

I would like to sacrifice some of that batterie life and eliminate one or two dropped frame if possible?

I'm allergic to droped frames and hickups, any app that doesn't scroll smooth is uninstalled immediately, no matter what :)

Thanks in advance

Hey guys,

sorry for this nooby question.

Im on stable catalysm 6.0 and i want to try this kernel.

So i need to dirty flash my rom again and then flash zip. Or just flash the kernel zip?

Thanks

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mich05:
Just flash the kernel.zip over the rom.

If you have problems, wipe cache and dalvik :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] onesolo:
@eng.stk I have a problem with your kernel... This just doesn't happen with stock kernels.

Since the M devs builds, in conjunction with your kernel, when I turn Internet (via wifi or mobile), my N5 becomes almost unusable for some seconds, sometimes over a minute. The device altogether becomes very sluggish like some process is bringing down the performance of the phone. Then when phone becomes usable, it's not instantaneous but it's gradually, at the end of becoming snappier again I beggin to receive all the notifications from apps...

If I reboot the phone, when I turn internet on, this happens but doesn't happen for a very long time like before, maybe under 15-20 secs to become fully usable. But over the time, every time I turn internet, this gets worst. I normally have to reboot after a few days. As I said before, I don't have this problem on stock kernel.

Any clues?

I'm still on r35. Going to trt r40 to see if it still there.

Don't say that... have you really tried to copy for example, TWRP nandroid backups from or to N5?! This kind of big files is where he usually hangs, and to my knowledge, this happens with every kernel I tried, stocks kernels, your's, you name it... In reality I don't think this is a kernel problem, but some system problem from N5...

Regardless of the kernel, it's near impossible to copy files from or to the phone. The only way around is to go to recovery and copy those big files. That way the phone won't hang...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Nope sorry.

I already replied to this. I don't talk just because.

Can't replicate it, what you want me to say?

Maybe some phones have storage issues, something on M, idk.

In N6 i discovered that Samsung NANDS have some issues (performance regressions) compared to the models that ship with Sandisk eMMC.

It's life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] frikakwa:
Sounds like "after sales service"!

I'm really sorry for you! :-S

Ps: ... and still no logcat! :(

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Thanks mate, people just don't read my posts and advices....

By the way, my N6 had the Sandisk and was good, but a tester of mine had the inglorious Samsung.

I already sold my N6 and he's going to do it also so all good ;p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wingoku:
Is the r40 in Persmissive mode or Enforcing? Really wish it were permissive (if it is enforcing currently) so that I wouldn't have to flash modified boot.img. So is it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
It's enforcing, as it should be. You can always change it yourself with a command or some play store app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wingoku:
Yeah but for that you first have to boot into the system and enforcing wont let you. it causes bootloops
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hibble:
Fast charge doesn't work for me at all (testing fast charge action always gives back "Disabled", see screenshot).

I am on MRA58N and r40.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ali8383:
Really this is the best kernel ??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
What app is that?

Use Kernel Adiutor, fast charge works fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ksclero:
hi all, i use this kernel with pure white rom and all works great and fast, so thank you so much dev. little question: how much effect dt2w on the battery?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hibble:
It's the Secure Settings plugin for Tasker.

I haven't seen that option in Kernel Adiutor, so I have activated it now. But when connecting to PC it is still showing charging with USB in battery settings.. :/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Like it should, it doesn't force AC mode, it just use more Amps if your USB port allows it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] miseusegau:
[MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION]...with this kernel you did a fantastic job....thank you my friend...?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alen1901:
Yeah i sometimes get that hang too, even if im transfering a lot of small files (around 100kb for example). If you put your phone in twrp and transfer from there, you probably wont get any error. Not sure where is the problem, but i would say its around whole OS, not just kernel.

Sweep to sleep and most other options either missing or not working properly on chroma rom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Yes quite a bit since the panel is always on.

You can use the timeout to disable the function after x minutes and disable with power button to save juice.

But will always use more battery that having it disabled completely.

No.

No gestures available apart from dt2w.

Same issue here and still on 5.1.1. Does this trick work with transferring multiple large files?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ANDROIDRAZRM:
My large video file transfers failed 3/3 times on r35 by causing a hang whereby the phone became unresponsive and the file transfer stopped progressing, even after a reboot. Flashed the stock boot.img and was able to successfully transfer all of the large files on the first attempt. If [MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION] can't replicate the issue, welp sucks for me, as I'm not going to bother him about issues in a kernel he donated his time to develop (especially without logging), even though I've convinced myself that it is a kernel issue indeed, at least as it pertains to my hardware. The easy solution in my case is to use the stock kernel and remain aware of any new developments here.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wingoku:
[MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION] I was writing an app with SuperUser privelages that changes/toggles certain options of the kernel. The only problem I am facing at the moment is, the modified settings don't take effect if the display is off. They take effect immediately if the display is on. This is confusing because with SU previlages, this shouldn't be an issue for applying settings with display off. The only reason I can think of is, either [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] wrote SU this way or I am lacking some knowledge in this area. Either way a few cents from your side will be of tremendous help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
If the settings are related to gamma/kcal, it's the way it's meant to be.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alen1901:
Im on 5.1.1 too. I tried with 3 twrp backups of around 2-3gb in size each and it worked every time while i was in twrp.

Yeah, that bug can be a pain in the ass. For me it was present even in lollipop stock image.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] stivelio:
If I changed kernel values using a kernel editor is there a way to go back to stock kernel values without a backup?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mujib@r:
Reflash the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] stivelio:
I already tried it but didn't work. Maybe I should uninstall the kernel editor app also before I flash it again
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mujib@r:
If you have anything set on boot, turn off that setting and then reflash the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wingoku:
It's not related to gamma/kcal but it is related to gestures. Gesture settings don't take effect unless the display is on. So if gesture settinga are modified when the display is off, they don't take effect until I turn the display on and then turn it off. Is this supposed to be like this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Yes, the panel on n5 doesn't have low power mode, so you can only say the panel to stay on and dt2w ready when thr screen is on and ergo the panel is on too.

Still using purenexus newest version but not blue_spark. Rom not compatible with enforcing kernels. That being said if i remember the settings were with kernel audiator app: cpu 1728 mhz max; cpu governor blue(default); Multicore power saving agressive; UV - 75(all frequencies);

GPU max frequency 320 mhz simple(default); IO_scheduler ( default) with some miner teaks that i dont remember. Was running good with minor lags from time to time, and also good with games. Also not using auto brightness. Around 15 to 20 % brightness. Thats it as i recall.:D

I just flashed latest version over latest Chroma with zero issues.

Try flashing the latest factory image with Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh, root it/install TWRP. When in TWRP, wipe everything except internal storage!

Flash ROM + Gapps, boot up, set everything the way you like it, go back to TWRP and flash this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nmlssit:
I am using f2fs, I need a custom kernel at first boot.

Plus, I didn't do anything different from other times, rom flash > gapps > kernel and if coming from another kernel, reflashing the rom first. I don't know why you are able to boot, but I can't.

That is a very good question. Most of the time I dirty flash unless other wise told. The only thing I could say is make sure that you do a full wipe and try from scratch. Unless you have already done that. All I did was flash chroma then clean cashe. Then flash banks gapps, then flash kernel and then reboot.
