I think [MENTION=3357040]Imoseyon[/MENTION] found a way to fix the CMs theme manager FCs in his newest test kernel. I think he made some _context file changes, but maybe you could ask him about those?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rugal316:
This kernel must be alien, I have my mind set to 1728 and Max to the highest, my profile is on performance, I use my phone to its full potential, 10 hours a day every day, and when I get home I am left with 72% battery left. I came from a HTC one x with viper ROM and did the same I was left with 10% battery with that phone. Franco's kernel makes my phone buttery smooth and makes it what it is a power house of a phone. Franco thank you for your work, you deserve a knighthood! Lol

franco kernel r7 + slim_shamu_twisted latest build

it might look like i live in a bunker when u see the signal strength LOL. despite such a poor signal strength i easily get close to 5hrs sot.

also i haven't changed anything. using franco kernel as it is. no vomertweaks either.

ur poor battery life/sot shud be because of some rogue app like others have already pointed out. bbs

/wakelock detector shud b the way to go.

..................................................

6hrs sot and/or 2 day long battery life is not something i am after. i prefer performance, a stutter free experience. i prefer my phone to live fast n die young [emoji6] (recharge, repeat of course lol).

i am more than just happy with the performance i get out of franco's settings out of the box. and the battery life i get is the icing on the cake.

well all this was with r7 and now r8 is out. :good:

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

thanks so much for your time and effort. much appreciated.

Google Play Services eats my battery.

The Franco Kernel helps but Google Play Services is my largest consumer of power, literally double the next item on the battery usage list. Any suggestions on reigning that in?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tommy0823:
I have absolutely zero complaints about battery life on r8. The battery was at about 90% when I really started using the phone today. There's still about 20% left. Lots of YouTube, a couple movies, g+, hangouts, Netflix, all kinds of different uses. Great work Franco. Running r8, stock settings. Liquid smooth.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] umair shaikh:
So can we flash r8 on blisspop rom's latest build (16.1.15 ) ?????
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wimmetje:
I saw a tip to disable fused location service, i did that 2 days ago and since then my google play services wakelocks where dramatically decreased.

I did not see any problems with play store or google apps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] what this post is referring to is a conflict with custom kernels and pie control causing kernels not to work with Bliss, Validus and other ROMs. RIPng applied the fix to his Sensei kernel and it can now be flashed with pie. Stock kernel comes with this but for some reason custom ones don't. https://github.com/RIPng/sensei-n6/commit/0fc4af408770034b6a2283829eb4578c1a899b7c

I freezed it in SD Maid.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] elite_gamer04:
Issue is DT2W is causing so many false wake-ups in my pocket that it ends up meaning I have to switch it off. Without S2W/S2S I have to use my Power Button, in which we all know, over a year of use plus you start to see wear.

Flar2 was able to element all drain with S2W/S2S (S2S doesn't actually cause drain obviously) - just food for thought as I know I'm not along in the hopes Franco implements it one day.

Has anybody tried messing with their Min Free values?

I feel like the N6 is fairly aggressive at killing apps for a phone with 3 gigs of RAM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
Has absolutely nothing to do with Facebook.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Right, not a thing at all. Although FB is terrible for battery and you will see battery improvement without it (huge battery improvement using FB in my browser), has nothing at all to do with core performance of this kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] big_adventure:
Facebook makes a ton of background calls as long as it is running. I opened FB, turned off refresh (set to never) and also turned off ALL notification types. I did a fresh boot, never started the app, and yet FB used 2% of my battery over 5 hours, and made over 900 wakelock calls. Again, I never even launched the app - this was just the background service.

It inspired me to, for the first time in my phone history, to use Greenify (or any other app killer) to hibernate FB. That takes care of the problem.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
Thanks for that info. I'm going to give that app a try. If you hibernate can you no longer use Facebook?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Hibernating will stop Facebook from running in the background until you open it again. I do not know if the donate version of Greenify works on Lollipop or not as it was integrated w/ Xposed, but it allowed for push notifications to still come through even when the app was hibernated, that might not be possible on Lollipop though, you'll have to check as I don't use Greenify anymore.

I tried maps and it still works fine.

I disabled the fused location and Google Maps still found my location.

Download an app called Disable Service from the play store
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
Omg. There's an app for everything. Lol
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] lalew25:
You can go to settings, apps and disable it there or...

You can freeze it with a 3rd party app. I used Titanium Backup. Titanium requires root to freeze apps. I was hoping for some way to negate it some in the Franco kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
There was an Xposed module on KitKat that you would have had to have seen Guardians of the Galaxy to understand, but it literally served only one function: make EVERYTHING on your phone say "I AM GROOT!" instead of the correct text.. it rendered the phone completely unusable and was 100% novelty. It amazes me how much development exists out there.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] LordDeath:
I am still having issues with enabling "Double tap to wake" on boot.

In SuperSU I enabled root access during boot but that is still not solving the issue. Is anyone else having this problem, too?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
I just disabled in my settings. Is this not good enough. Or do I need to do in tibu?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
I've seen the odd ROM that had it disabled by default and when you enabled and set on boot it would not apply until you let your phone sit with the screen on for a second for FKU to appy set-on-boot settings, or sometimes until you opened the FKU app. Doing either of those things and nothing more always fixed the issue for me, though.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] lalew25:
As far as I know that should work.

I'm no expert on these things. Still learning myself, lol.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] stas333:
Look for a thread I made a week ago about it...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ManHands:
If you are able to, then yes. However, most need app like TIBU to disable this service. Keep in mind that by disabling this service, you may break Maps and/or other apps that use location services.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paychex:
Kernels don't do that
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] big_adventure:
I am not using the donate version - and Xposed doesn't work either, of course.

I have all Facebook notifications turned the hell off anyway, so having it silent during hibernation is just fine with me. I use WhatsApp, Hangouts and Messaging for chat. I just have Facebook and three games that don't stop running or sending notifications (even when told not to) set to hibernate. And they do. I'd kill the games, but my kids love them.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] stas333:
disabling "fused location" app will prevent google maps from finding one's location. If your location is still found after disabling the fused location app, then reboot the phone and try again. Now the location will not be found.

One way to prevent google play services from running in the background is by disabling the "internal services" of google play services. This is very simple and beneficial. I have done this with the LG G3 and now Nexus 6. So far everything has been great and no issues. Take a look at the thread i have made regarding google play services.

Before disabling it, what is its main function
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] stas333:
GPS. Your phone will not find its location if you disable the app.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
I'm not disabling then. I use my phone for gps all the time

Why are we even discussing this GPS thing here? Seems completely pointless for the context of the thread.

@franciscofranco r8 is great. Battery life is much better for me at work with a crap signal. Smooth as ever
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks!!

I think your "deny" statement is absolutely wrong. I didn't deny per-se, it's almost impossible for me to support so many different things and their changes were very deep that required a completely different tree and a different ramdisk. I really don't want to build different flavors for the same device, that's why I stick to the Nexus line. If they don't go crazy by deviating their userspace libs/device tree to the Kernel then we won't have this problem. I'm a one man show, don't forget. I prefer to build one flavor, but make that flavor rock like there's no tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Franco, a quick comment on battery on r8. I just did a 4 hour mountain bike ride, running my GPS and that battery hogging Strava app the whole time. I was also without a phone signal for most of that ride. And I only lost 15% of my battery. Normally, on rides like that, I drop over 50%. Great work and performance is top notch too.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] uhguy:
r8 is definitely a big improvement over r6 and r7. Still nice and snappy, and now getting solid battery life again. Great work.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] vince2398:
That's awesome. Would you share your settings? I am not getting that high for screen time. Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] oak:
My basic settings are as follows:

I am on stock ROM

Location services: off

wifi: on part of the time

ambient display: on

auto brightness: on at about 40%

kernel settings: stock, just as Franco designed it

I Greenify some stuff too and I don't play any games. That's about it. Nothing special.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mptpro:
Is it just me, but the "double tap to wake" function doesn't stick after reboot, even though the set on boot IS checked.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
It sticks but you can't just let the screen turn off when you turn your phone on. You have to either a) wait for the FKU set on-boot toast message to play or b) open the FKU app. Don't mess with any settings, just open the app and leave it be, close immediately if you wish. That always fixes for me, just has to recognize the FKU settings are there or something, dunno the reason why, just how lol
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mouse100:
I've just updated the kernel to r8 but now I'd like to try vomer tweaks since many people say it could save more battery.

But my questions are: which vomer tweak I have to use? I saw there is the dual and quad.

And once I've downloaded the right tweak, which Franco kernel's profile I have to choose? Performance, Balance or Power-saving?

{Nexus 6 - Tapatalk}
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:
If you are a heavy user i suggest quad conservative and franco r8. Great combo. No need to play with settings as vomers script will do everything.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] uhguy:
Make sure you go into SuperSU and check "enable su during boot".
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ManHands:
Personally, I'd wouldn't use vomertweaks. I tried both and they were unusable for MY use; lag was ridiculous. I like to use my phone, and use what I paid for. You need to try, try something else, tweak, tweak some more, then figure out what YOU like. frano-Kernel is a great starting point.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:

Not sure if I'm asking in the right place. Can the kernel affect bluetooth game controllers? I'm on the stock rom rooted and use this kernel but having trouble with the Moga game controller. Games it's supposed to work for, it doesn't work. I also have issues of it losing connection randomly, which never used to happen on my previous phone.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] vomer:
To each their own... but I find your point on "ridiculous lag" hard to believe... I perform multiple test cases for the tweaks (on my own device plus testers) to make sure the tweaks suit the vast majority of people. Now you might be trying to break the enigma code on your phone or something in which case I question your decision to use any tweaks at all.

Thanks for trying them anyways :good:

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

:)

VomerTweaks and Franco's profiles are not to be used together. You can choose one or the other. In case of the tweaks, I suggest starting with dual and moving to quad if you feel the need.

I am working on a larger expanded list of settings which will come with a new delivery/application method as well to make things super simple. Stay tuned for that :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ManHands:
That was strictly the point of my post. Someone asking others what would work best for him. Hopefully he's tried both since and can make a decision based on use/testing. Nothing against you or your work. Just not for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
That seems contradicting doesn't it?

You're pretty much swaying a user from using a pre-defined setting. Vomertweaks is not magic and doesn't suite everybody's needs. If you play games on your phone, then vomertweaks may not be the best thing to be using for games but then that's exactly why theres Per-App-Modes.

Rather than being non-constructive, post a setting that works for you or "suggestions" on how to improve a pre-defined setting.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ManHands:
You're right, it was a rather non-constructive post. I think I was just hanging around on these forums too much today. Read too many "tell me how to make this work" posts. Let's get back to topic.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mouse100:
Thanks. I successfully applied your script but has it the priority on franco's profiles? Because I still have balanced profile set on franco software (highlighted with orange color).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Krunk83:
Even with input_boost_freq set to the highest setting I am still experiencing stutter when unlocking the phone with animations on. Not sure why this is happening. Doesn't happen on the stock kernel at all.

Running pure shamu with r8. No vomer tweaks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Wow, sorry you're having that issue - definitely does not make sense from my personal experience. I've never used Pure Shamu but I can't see why it would interact with this kernel in any different of a way than any other ROM would, but it'sbeen my personal experience on LiquidSmooth, BlissPop, Chroma, RastaPop, Terminus, AICP, Beanstalk, etc. that FK completely eliminates any amount of lag or stutter.. I feel like stock and most other kernels are a bit laggy when I first boot a ROM with a stock kernel, Dirty Unicorns being the only exceptions thus far. Does Pure Shamu have built in performance settings that could be overriding your FKU settings possibly? I've seen that as an issue with some ROMs and FKU...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
I'm using pure shamu and am not experiencing any stutter or animation issues on unlocking.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
So the ROM is not the problem and the kernel is definitely not the problem - I would have to say stutter is precisely the opposite of what this kernel adds to my phone... gotta be something a little more to it unless a clean flash is just required

Edit: worded poorly. There has to be something more to it that you need to fix, if nothing else can be pinpointed a clean flash may be the next step.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Krunk83:
No. No performance settings. Maybe I will do a clean flash and not laid any apps. Maybe a rogue app. But that wouldn't explain the stock kernel being smooth with the same setup.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
I was having a similar issue and noticed that on occasion, the max frequency would drop to 1700ish and the max GPU clock would drop as well. While trying to debug it 2 days ago, I uninstalled FKU and the issue hasn't repeated itself yet. I had the same issue on my Nexus 4 and I know there was a bug report on the FKU Google beta page where someone saw it occurring with a Nexus 5. Not sure if it's the same issue, but might be worth checking out.

Edit:

I'm running on stock w/o encryption, if it matters.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Krunk83:
Yeah I have no encryption either. Pure Shamu forces no encryption. So what did you do to fix it? Uninstalled FKU?

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hutzdani:
Im not attacking him, I just find it weird how people jump on threads and start claiming things after less than 1 day of testing.

it just shows false info for people who really are interested in real results, its pretty obvious that with very little time testing his results are either placebo on his end or he has no idea how to make a fair test environment to even give useful information or others to use.

saying yeah it works great after the thread has been alive for less that 24 hours on a kernel is in the realms of "yeah i made this cup of tea from my chocolate tea pot"

Fine test something and leave feedback but with reasoning like 30mins of SOT and lost less than 3% battery over a few hours, is not proving anything ( there are way too many variables : Active Display on / DT2W on / BT on / WIFI on / LTE on / Screen Brightness set to Auto or manual / is sound on at full whack so when notifications arrive more battery is used / is NFC enabled / Whats the Signal Strength like ?

People here will accept what others say too quickly and flash Franco's kernel and then come back with a **** storm because it never had the same effect as the guy they believed in the first place, its a vicious circle
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] elite_gamer04:
Well color me surprised - thank you for clearing up some of the misinformation floating around. Must just be simple plecebo that yours feels more reliable from peoples accounts :).

Out of interest, should probably take this back over to your wonderful thread, but how did you get S2W to not drain any battery but always be watching? The N6 have some built-in dedicated chip?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm just saying dt2w is available on all kernels with a simple command, as it's part of the stock source. My implementation of dt2w that comes with s2w is more responsive. On elementalx you can have stock dt2w or my dt2w.

But I'll let you guys get back to discussing franco kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Circaflex:
It's your ROM not the kernel faux and Franco work fine here with qi I'm guessing your running liquid rom
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] uhguy:
Please excuse my naivety as this is my first Nexus device, but will this cause any issues when flashing updates? Meaning can I go from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 when Google releases the image just like I did from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1?
