Hey guys someone on here pointed out to me that Captain throwbacks TWRP recovery flashes images so I went ahead and put it on my phone. Did a clean install of Slim then. Went back to install again and where it says zip I pressed it and it switched to IMG. And succefully flashed Franco schedule fix.IMG from recovery pretty awesome if you ask me. And the good news is that it is compatible with all M8 variants.

Here is the link if you guys wanna check it out

I saw you mention that so I reflashed Slim [emoji106]
[One (M8) Android Development] Rauch:
Just flashed that recovery last night and tested the IMG flash right before I posted. Love it. Checking to see if they can add f2fs as an option since a lot of ROMs support it. But unfortunately, recoveries don't st the moment.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Franco latest img

So I have enabled all 4 cores setting the load_threshold to 0 in hotplug settings

UC [MENTION=1801495]1497[/MENTION]

UC GPU @462

In CPU boost control dropped input boost down to 20 ms

Wonder if battery is gonna be better or worse with this setup even though I have all 4 cores running but UC @ 1497

So far everything is running smooth as ever might be able to UC even more with all 4 cores on gonna see how this goes first.

Edit: so decided to go another route

Mako hotplug load_threshold @ 40

Mako hotplug cpufreq_unplug_limit @ 1100000

Uc@1497

Uc GPU @ 462

CPU_boost- input_boost_ms @ 20

Governor setting change 2 values

Timer_slack @ -1

Go_high-speed_load @ 50

Deadline scheduler of coarse

I feel these are pretty solid and hoping to save more battery maybe. Other 2 cores come on quicker but it makes up for the low freq UC value. So far everything is buttery smooth just gonna run a full day tomorrow to see what kind of battery life I get
[One (M8) Android Development] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
I've been following this thread for a while, and finally decided to flash an image or 2. I'm running CM11 nightly 9/5 on a Sprint M8. I flashed the Franco graphite 2 and got good results. Then I flashed franco-schedfix.img, and WOW! Default settings, I just changed boostpulse_duration to 80000 and I'm very impressed. Very smooth and the best battery life I've ever had! The only downside that I saw, was when I got down to less than 15% battery it was lagging very bad. But, I don't usually let my battery get that low, & I was viewing extremely long threads w/ lots of images on XDA (tapatalk), so that might have been a factor. The smoothness and the battery life up until 15% remaining was amazing! Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Probably was the long threads you was viewing I always get lag too when viewing them.
[One (M8) Android Development] juancaperez2000:
[MENTION=2666372]dandan2980[/MENTION] OT questions, that recoverey still reading regular TWRP backups or no, also can I use Flashify to flash the recovery?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
It restored my Slim backup no problem also downloaded the zip from the link extracted it and used Flashify to flash the recovery.IMG also I was on official twrp2.7.1.0 prior to switching to the new one by Cptb. But you should be OK just make a backup of your current set up and then try to restore one of your old backups if it doesn't work you will have current one to restore and flash back recoveries if you feel like it
[One (M8) Android Development] Rauch:
Just realized using whatever ramdisk xboxfanj has in his builds that 268mhz is now available on slim... Definitely a ramdisk thing. Wonder if whatever is different is the same cause as to why the OC options aren't there. Hmmmm
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I can't get over how smooth the latest Franco IMG is. Its unreal and I'm under clocked down to 1497mhz
[One (M8) Android Development] Rauch:
How's the battery life faring with those 4 cores?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I actually switched up my initial settings I posted and decided to run on 2 cores but with a quicker hotplug and faster high-speed load which really isn't bad cause high speed is only 1190
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Also I'll get a better idea on battery life tommorow on a full charge

But this is what freq usage is looking like.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
OK just adjusted max_load_counter from 10 down to 5 it determines how long the 2 cores stay plugged in so I wanna make them come on when needed and unplugged as quickly as possible when phone is just sitting idle after using the phone.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Ok read this it will tell you his to adjust settings for the mako hotplug
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Here are the mako hotplug settings I am currently rocking and it onlines and off lines the other 2 cores really good with my settings no lag at all
[One (M8) Android Development] reaper420:
Could someone point me in the direction of the latest franco image
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Post 878
[One (M8) Android Development] paulg1981:
dandan could you post your complete setup? I see the mako settings but can't decipher what governor settings etc you are using with it!
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Scheduler is "Deadline"
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I decided to bump up load threshold a tad bit higher from 40 to 65 cause high_load_counter will also determine when cores are plugged in
[One (M8) Android Development] reaper420:
What app are you using for the kernel?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel
[One (M8) Android Development] direwolf1:
Are you running dalvik or ART?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Dalvik
[One (M8) Android Development] direwolf1:
Interesting. I've been running ART for a long time, and (I think) consistently getting worse battery life than you have. I'll switch to dalvik for a while and see how it goes.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
This is with just over 2 hrs SOT

1hr of poweramp, watching a few YouTube videos, browsing xda, and other web apps. I also make sure to turn off LTE when I'm not using data or really don't need it I'm on Sprint so LTE can be spotty, about 40 min voice calls.

What do you guys think is this seem like pretty good results??? Also Franco sleeps like a baby stand by time is incredible.

Posting my frequency stats too
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
That's all the frequencies my phone uses are the 4 steps plus deep sleep. I have to say its 99% lag free might get a slow down every once in a while but its not often at all and isnt a deal breaker under clocking this low pretty amazing kernel
[One (M8) Android Development] tjeeeeee:
Been watching for a while and using most suggestions by you [MENTION=2666372]dandan2980[/MENTION] battery life seems great! Appreciate all the info you've given :)
[One (M8) Android Development] jkt97401:
How did you get to the CPU boost screen?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
You have to use an app called FK "Franco kernel updater" I had it from my nexus 5 days. Only paid version will work for are device but it gives you all of Franco kernel options.

You can also find the parameters for cpuboost in sys/module/Cpu_boost
[One (M8) Android Development] Shamestick:
For those of you without FKU to control the mako hotplug, I edited the init.d script that dandan posted a little ways back so that it reflects the values he has been using recently for people to try out

[One (M8) Android Development] _moelle:
awesome! thx a lot! something like that is just perfect for me! i dont touch this settings by myself, cause i would probably make it way more worse than better! :) :D
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Franco still killing it on stand by
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Also trying some new thangs just bumping max up to 1728 from 1497

And load_threshold in Mako from 65 to 70 trying to delete the 1% lag I very seldomly see but OCD tells me to try lol. Battery should still be great
[One (M8) Android Development] k5t4j5:
Well I think I need to throw out a "My Bad" if I influenced anyone with my talk of lag with the recent builds. Thinking now my issue was with apps. I've had apps running in the background for a while now, didn't think it was harming much. Using greenify now and already seeing improvement.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

I switched to this recovery to try the .img flashing but I'm not seeing how to. When you say you "were it says zip" where exactly do you mean? The extra options are there but this looks like the regular TWRP, so I'm not sure what you mean.
[One (M8) Android Development] Rauch:
Under install, where you have the file browser, they'll be a zip icon in the top right. Tap it and it'll switch to IMG.
[One (M8) Android Development] Shamestick:
when you go to install something, there is a little square in the top right corner that says zip, if you click that it will switch to a little image that says img, meaning that it is in img flashing mode
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
What the 2,post above mine say after you click install there will be a square with zip press that then it will read the images on your device then it'll ask what type of image boot,recovery and forget the other one
[One (M8) Android Development] btje:
Im a bit lost here. Which image has the sound improvement?

Maybe the op should only contain images. Makes it more clear.
[One (M8) Android Development] k5t4j5:
Thanks everyone

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Well, reason I wasn't seeing it is because it's not there. Flashed fine, kinda weird. Guess I'll try to flash it again.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
The thread you downloaded the twrp from on mik mik there is also a theme you can use for the twrp called 1080_black_twrp.zip download that and through in your theme folder in twrp rename it to ui.zip and you will see what we are talking about. I used the theme off rip so never seen what it looks like as stock twrp theme
[One (M8) Android Development] k5t4j5:
Yeah, just figured that out. Trying to download it now.

[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:

Also, do not be worried about the bizarre CPU stats. Oddly, it does not add up to 100% in trickstermod anymore. I'll revert faux's quad core stats commit.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Sweet thanks for the new kernel gonna run it straight default settings to see if the battery improvements are there

[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Sweet flashing the newest Image just woke up with a fresh charge
[One (M8) Android Development] phoenix2217:
This one still corrupted my internal. Had to flash partition fixer.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I don't have this issue on the new IMG. A good suggestion would be to reflash your ROM every time you flash one of these images. Just dirty flash it then flash the image.
[One (M8) Android Development] phoenix2217:
I know the ropes ;) I only do clean installs.

This was on a clean install of Carbon 9/8/14. Used the img flasher in TWRP to flash it.

So I should flash the rom, reboot, flash the img and then dirty flash the rom again?
[One (M8) Android Development] Rauch:
Negative. That'd put the stock kernel for carbon back into effect.
[One (M8) Android Development] paulg1981:
Last image flashed fine for me. I don't have either if the aforementioned issues!
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Use captain throw backs recovery you can find it on the mikmik it for all variants of the m8. Also there is a theme for it flash recovery and theme it will allow you to flash IMG and zips so you can flash ROM and gapps the go back to install and change it from a zip to an IMG and flash the img . his recovery let's you flash images

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

The recovery is 2.7.1.1
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
OK guys I also just got the partition bug once again on the latest Franco caf. When I went to check the first time it was all good. Just went in recovery and had to flash the partition fixer seems to be random
[One (M8) Android Development] krazie1:
I confirm the partition issue on the 3rd franco-caf img
[One (M8) Android Development] Shamestick:
How can you tell?
[One (M8) Android Development] krazie1:
When you go into recovery you will have zero storage for internal sdcard
[One (M8) Android Development] phoenix2217:
Just got a PM. Here's the zip for those who need it
[One (M8) Android Development] Shamestick:
After going into recovery again, I also had the partition bug and a lot of my app data seems to have been cleared. Not a huge deal though, thats what backups are for lol.

Edit: I was also running the third version of franco-caf
[One (M8) Android Development] _moelle:
had the mount data error on the one image, posted before last one. - last one works for me. - just tested it several times, booting in recovery (unoff. twrp with img flash functionality) ...everything just works fine.

i do really hate this mount data asshole :D - in a time, as i was still using my good old samsung s3, there were no such diva called "cant mount data" :P ...good old times.^^
[One (M8) Android Development] paulg1981:
Yea I just rebooted to recovery to check and i had no issues with data partition either.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Seems to happen randomly cause I booted in recovery was all good and then it just happened I mean a simple recovery boot might even fix it
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/franco-caf-trinity.img

kanged a couple patches from morfic: https://github.com/xboxfanj/android...mmit/7292c3fc1098e745603c0300f91c0d687f7ea088 and made the default GPU value 200 mhz thanks to flar2.

It should fix any filesystem errors you were having, but no promises. Let me know.

[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I didn't run his on my nexus but I used to run his kernel back in the day on the Samsung Vibrant aka GS1
[One (M8) Android Development] k5t4j5:
For the partition issue, I've had it happen alot from other reasons. Most of the time though, if you just reboot system, then automatically start holding power vol-up until black screen, then immediately power vol-down to bootloader, go to recovery, problem solved. I don't know why, but it works every time for me. Maybe you too
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Thatsbwhat I was thinking maybe just a simple reboot will fix it. I have had the partition issue before when it was more of an issue. And you knew when you had it. Nothing in root explorer would be there and it would always be unresponsive that how I knew I had it then. I see no signs of weird behavior with this kernel just randomly get it but hurts nothing while in Android atleast for me.
[One (M8) Android Development] metalspring:
I was having the same issue, until I saw this-

https://github.com/metalspring/m8spr/commit/7cd39802b20e9a7b913b2b373b2d3029e990a921

Just using that binary and the command in the commit message makes it easy to get the dt.img that is needed after you build the zImage

This one is actually pretty nice, and just uses the exact tools you mentioned, I've used it to make m8 boot.img's and it even works well with the whole dt.img :P
