Thanks to your kernel and LineageOS we still have the last updates and the phone is very smooth.

The idle battery drain is even better on my Nexus 5 than on my OP3T.

Own a 3T and N5 as well.

How is this even possible on a 4 year old device!?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
While I lost 1% over night with my OP3T, I didn't lost anything (less than 1% actually) with my Nexus 5 and I could use Amplify (almost stable for Nougat) to improve the stats.

Except the power button the Nexus 5 is rock solid :p

I have less user apps/data on my Nexus 5 but it's still impressive.

No UV, no black magic?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
Black magic: GApps package, Facebook, Twitter...

White magic: FLOSS apps

I don't use UV since I want tasks to be executed as soon as possible. UV uses less power but it lasts longer...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GopalKaul:
FLOSS? or FOSS?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drac0:
Just for the record UV or UnderVolting has nothing to do with how slow or fast tasks are being executed, UC or UnderClocking has. UV is all about heat. That being said, mine is UV -75 and everything else default and its blazing fast with under 1% vampire drain. Blu_sorcery bluest of the blue. Cheers people! :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
FLOSS.

My bad, I meant UC. Thanks for the correction. Still true on my end.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gian232:
Hey guys I have a question if I want a little More smoothnes wich freqs or settings can I tweak ( fastlane Is on already ) I'm having lag sometimes but it can be pretty hard tho
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chaplan:
The only lag I can find is at the end of boot process, apps are still waiting for root permissions. When that settles all is good.

My setup includes f2fs for data and cache partitions, on this device f2fs has been a game changer IMO.

This can be tested while using the storage on heavy operations and messing with the device at the same time.

Most lag related stuff has been due to some N ROMs having this effect on a couple of the last builds.

Don't really know if that's the case for you.

Using Carbon N for a while and it's smooth as butter.

blu_spark kernel stock settings with fastlane ON, threshold set to 30 just because I find it optimized for my taste.

All the other kernel tweaks I use don't interfere with the mentioned problem, that IMO has nothing to do with blu_spark kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gian232:
Yeah bro I'm using latest LOS 14.1 nigthly and well sometimes it lags pretty bad and then it settles again I'll try with 30 on Threshold maybe also 1.2ghz on input boost may help ? Or it is totally on ROM fault as you mentioned since this is a N ROM
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chaplan:
Wouldn't know.

Either way, you should read a bit of the last pages. I don't see users complaining a single bit about lag here.

Something wrong on your side must be.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gian232:
Yeah might be I'll try with the changes I mentioned if not then maybe I should do a clean Flash of the ROM again and then Flash Blu_spark
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drac0:
Indeed, also f2fs here and it was and still is the brave new world for hammerhead, trust me on that. Regarding settings, I'm with PureNexus and all default kernel wise (if you're not counting UV which have no performance effect) not even fastlane enabled and its rocking fast, pretty damn smoothie fast. So yeah it could be something derped on your side or just a "bad" LOS nightly, could get better with next one. For the sake of speed, just go with fastlane. Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gian232:
Yeah probably my friend, thanks for the reply's guys cheers ! I'll let you guys know if there's an improvement for me other that Blu rocks !

I can't have plans for something that doesn't exist.

When the time comes we'll see, but Oreo changes will probably render backward compatibility useless, so maybe this is EOL.

Dirty flash rom first, or extract the boot.img and flash that first. Flashing over another custom kernel usually derps something

Dirty Flash ROM ??

Sorry I am new ?.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nevermindthelabel:
Flash whatever rom you are running again, that will restore the boot.img. Then flash root if needed and Blu_Spark. No need to factory reset, you will keep apps and data this way. I usually keep the boot.img from whatever rom I have handy in case I need to restore it for some reason.

Settings still not applying after reboot. I always manually adjust kernel everytime I reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chaplan:
And you should be doing some digging on your own since it applies just fine for everybody else.

Anyways:

1- What settings specifically are you talking about?

2- How are you setting them? App/script? If app, Apply on boot checked?

3- What ROM?

Apply on boot works as expected no matter how I set it up. KA, ExKM, scrypt.

Double check you process.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] -Loom-:
I'm running the latest LOS 14, and with stock kernel it is very smooth and works perfectly.

But as soon as I install BluSpark, the phone gets slower and slower of the next couple of hours, until even opening the app-drawer takes 5 seconds.

After a reboot, everything is back to normal. Until is gets slower again.

It doesn't matter what settings I choose - happens even with stock settings.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
You're using a phone with 2GB of RAM, deal with it.

You can tune LMK to your own needs, it had been discussed several times.

Sent from my blu_spark'd OP5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] -Loom-:
Thank Eng, for giving a direction to look at.

I was just curious why there is no problem at all when using the stock LOS kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jacq1212:
Same problem for me, I have just do a clean flash to see if there was related to a specific app. I my case sometimes after getting slower and slower the phone reboots itself.

This did not happen with stock kernel or EucOs kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] -Loom-:
I tried the low memory killer with kernel adiutor. Checked out all the different profiles there, but it didn't help at all. After 10 hours, the phone was unusable until a reboot.

I wonder if the problem is hardware-related. Otherwise there should be much more people experiencing this slowing behaviour.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
At the moment no, because N5 doesn't have a Oreo tree, depends what they'll do.

There's some 8.0 changes that don't killl backward compatibilty, 8.1 can be a little harder. Not to mention they may decide use CAF trees, who knows.

N5 has some talented mainteiners, we'll have to wait and see.

So, for any android version, If you get a stable device tree, is it possible for us to recieve this wonderful kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jacq1212:
It is related to memory. As soon it reaches ~80% usage it gets laggy. Closing some recent apps frees memory and the phone gets usable again.

I have tried different memory profiles in Adiutor, and agreesive modes (not expected) seems to solve for now the problem. Light modes didn't solve it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Skinpipe:
Hello

What exactly is this awesome hotplug driver?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
MP decision was never an efficient hotplug, uses too much power, but sure it's smooth.

But don't forget that this kernel is meant to be tested, after all this is dev forum.

You don't knoe myfluxi or neobuddy89? Top devs, even oldschool devs pick from them.

myfluxi is doing a nice job on hammerhead, his hotplug, especially tuned by neobuddy is very efficient and balanced.

For me there's 3 top hoptlugs: faux (robust and battery friendly), franco (simple and powerfull) and myfluxi (balanced and very portable).

"Correct voltage levels", what that means? i have problem with latest release. every time i uv (even by -25) my phone reboots when i watch videos on youtube or browser. i just tested with r27 and r34. with r27 i can watch videos normally with -25mv uv (i can watch them even with -50mv). then i flashed r34 and tried watching videos with -25mv uv and it rebooted on second video. maybe that "correct voltage levels" have some impact?

Would it reboot when watching video on youtube if no uv? I had once.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alen1901:
Thats the only thing i didnt try. Right now i heavily tested r27 on many videos with UV -25 and no problems at all. It got to be something with new release. In last_kmsg i saw that reboot reason was kernel panic. Not sure what that means. Ill stay on r27 for now, need a stable phone now and tomorrow.

I bet that's some UV you guys doing, or maybe some commit I made and MP decision doesn't like it.

I do UV and use youtube for some time, no issues. I don't use MP decision tough...

Besides UV 25mV? don't even bother, it doesn't bring anything but trouble. MP decision doesn't like UV, try to use custom hotplug.

SImilar to my set up, it's smooth isn't it? But I devided between deadline tweaked and FIOPS, deadline always seems a little more smooth. on scrolling.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DarkFantasy6:
Hmm looks really nice, but gives like many other kernels a design storage fc... I thinks its a ramdisk problem because any kernel with anykernel script works just fine. And every who has a boot.img in it gives me this fc :( but i want to stick with mahdi :D

Is there maybe a solution?

As you can see, [MENTION=4832373]cryingrock[/MENTION] posted last_kmsg, he got a reboot without UV. I will test once more when i get time to test. Maybe it would work on clean rom instal, but right now i cant try that. Also like i said, previous kernel with all settings default and uv -25mv, all working great, no reboot. Im running -50mv right now and all good. On r34 even -25mv causes reboots, mainly when watching videos, reproducable all the time..

I won't change stuff to support just a ROM sorry. You can extract zImage from boot.img and use on a anykernel script, ut you will loose RAMdisk optimizations and other stuff.

That is not enough because some kernels change system files.

Reflash ROM, flash supersu, boot, flash Code_Blue.

Also uninstall or clean data of any kernel control app you're using.

I usually don't comment much on kernel threads, but I wanted to give my 2 cents on the Code_Blue Kernel. I've been running Stock With Goodies for about 2-3 weeks and usually my "go-to" kernel is Franco. I had noticed a bit of battery drain recently, so I decided to try Code_Blue r136. I'm blown away with how smooth and battery friendly this kernel is even after "dirty flashing" over another kernel without clean flashing the ROM first. Great work by the developer and your kernel has definitely impressed me. Thanks for your great work!
