r6 is up for grabs!

The big difference here is that we're now using Conservative governor instead of Interactive and I would like to explain you why. With this 3.10 branch guys over Linux foundation unified the cpufreq driver a little bit, so Ondemand and Conservative share the same core code. They behave differently, but the main code path is the same. There is also a new and improvement scaling calculation which I enjoy. Then I remembered that back in the old 2.6.35 branches we had a little tweak on Conservative that made it aware of micro idle accounting, which means that it sampled the load every 10ms, making it very aware of any change on the system that required fast response (this is what Ondemand does), but still maintaining it's "conservative" style. It changes very fast so there's a perception that all possible lag is absolutely gone without relying on extreme touchboost technics or overusage of extra CPU cores (like mpdecision does). But at the same time it scales down as fast as it goes up, so you'll be seeing an even usage of all steps as well. Interactive as we all know it's a very customizable governor, lots of options, but its a bit weird when deciding what freqs to use (I still like it very much).

I think you'll enjoy this experience immensely. Zephik's been using this for the past days, and he got some amazing results. I've been impressed myself.

Hope you like the change.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] these changes sound awesome, hope to see some of this lovin on the N5 thread soon ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Such an awesome release, such an awesome kernel. Franco ftw!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
Testing the pre release of r6 has been pretty amazing at what was accomplished. I'm normally on VomerTweaks_QuadMode, with r6 I used conservative with some minor adjustments in CPU Clock down to 1.5GHz, GPU Max Freq to 500 and typically around 88% on r5 I would be at around 40-45 minutes of screen on time.

By performing the same actions that I normally do (catching up on Twitter, Reddit, XDA, text) in that same time frame by 88% I would have reached 1 hour.

In other words, I gained about 20 extra minutes of screen on time with improved performance over vomertweaks.

I'm sure tomorrow [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] will work on a setup accustomed to the new Conservative setup. I'm very happy with the results and you guys will as well.

tl;dr.. gain more performance and speed while having better battery life. Its not something that you would normally put together in the same sentence, but in this case, it did.

So stop reading my post and flash R6 :D

Edit: Also make sure you guys remove VomerTweaks, it'll act "weird" because it'll be applying settings you'd normally apply using Interactive but now r6 uses conservative.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] stas333:

50+k benchmarks on conservative governor :p wow lol
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dems86:
Did you leave performance profile untouched and did you change any governor, hotplug, or cpu-boost settings of any importance? Just curious how you setup conservative besides lowering the CPU to 1.5, unless that and governor to 500 was all you really did ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
It's my understanding that you can't... But, you can build tasker profile that would mimic them.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
Huh? I used stock values with the following changes,

Governor: Conservative

Changed CPU to 1.5 GHz from the stock freq

Changed GPU from 600 to 500 (even 384 is fine)

high_load_counter 20

load_threshold 90

input_boost to 960 mhz

io: deadline

Didn't notice any stutter lag, was buttery smooth.

Thanks just flashed R6 but in FKU updater I'm still seeing Interactive ticked. Do I have to untick it so that Conservative can be the default?

Nevermind I just went to the Vomer Tweaks thread and saw this.

"No.. don't flash VomerTweaks on r6 yet. It's still set up for interactive governors, r6 just changed to conservative.. uninstall and wait until VomerTweaks is updated. "
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Skripka:
Dang Franco. R6 is like butter smooth everywhere
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Franco One thing to note is while I love having the LED used it can be pretty distracting and blinding at night to have it on while charging and using the phone. Is there a way to shut off the charging light while the screen is on? and on that note is there a way to make it red while charging and green when done instead of constantly green? I know its a step by step thing but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks again for all the great work can't wait to see how r6 performs over time!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kmaner:
R6 is very nice with LiquidSmooth ROM. Thanks Franco.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gamewarden234:
Can you get the charging led to turn off. I turned it off in Franco app but I think liquid rom is screwing with it. Won't turn off unless I use light flow

Color settings (237 - 235 - 255) won't stick after reboot with franco kernel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel)?

Once booted up, I open the app and colors do show as (237 -235 -255) in the settings but won't actually change unless I change one of them myself (e.g. change the first one to 238 then back to 237).

Hi,

I just bought the FKU App been using your kernels for a while, big fan of your work.

I flashed through the app but now my home and recents button have vanished.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Prod1702:
this has already been talked about and Franco is adding the fix into r2.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] elite_gamer04:
Dare I ask Franco if we will ever see D2W/S2W embedded in here or an option on the Application? The software implementation is horrid compared to the one included within ElementalX - wondering if it may be opensource or alike...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] chrisch91:
Finally franco.kernel on my n6, i love it! Thx!

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
I can't speak for Franco but I assure you that the answer to that question would be absolutely no.

Every Franco thread comes this question and he has never incorporated this. S2w is power inefficient and double to wake is already present by Google which can be activated using the app or is activated by your rom. I personally don't have any problems with the built in one by Google.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Langduscher:
Which app do you use - and is it more power efficient than Ambient Display?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] elite_gamer04:
I can assure you that the 'software' incarnation of D2W (one built by Google) is not the same as the one incorporated into ElementalX. I am fine with S2W not being present, but D2W does NOT cause any additional drain (separate CPU), so maybe Franco will consider it with the N6?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pafc66:
Why is that some users are having issues with their software buttons and some arnt? Does it depend on what rom your coming from?

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Drefsab:
Used to love franco's work on the one X, so re downloaded the kernel updater app and flashed :) however it doesn't seam to boot for me just stuck on the spinning colors icons.

I'm running stock rom, unencrypted, TWRP recovery, root and was on the Sensei Kernel R21 on a 64GB model.

Can't pull off a log cat atm as at work. Flashed the other customer kernel again via recovery and it booted right back up. Will see if I can pull some logs off for you later when im at home.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gogol:
When I used franco kernel on my Nexus 5, and wanted to go back to stock to receive ota update, it wasn't that easy. Flashing the stock kernel alone was not enough because few system files were modified by the FKU, I think for certain tweaking options.

Is this still the case? I am expecting there is an easy option in the FKU to go back to stock.

Thanks for sharing your personal tweaks. So, your maximum and minimum cpu frequency are the same? Or do you have a different value for your minimum cpu frequency?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
No, I only change maximum CPU freq. Having the Min/Max the same CPU freq would not be optimal whatsoever, the only time you'd do that is if you're doing benchmarking.

I just flashed Franco Kernel tonight and so far it is great. Only question I have is, I thought this kernel was decrypted. When I go into settings and Security, it still says I am encrypted. How can I change this? Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] big_adventure:
The kernel doesn't force encryption, but it still supports it if your configuration is encrypted. To unencrypt, you need to turn off encryption AND erase all data. Then reconfigure the phone, and restore your data. As long as you backup all apps and photos and such first, you'll be able to restore everything after, unencrypted, this time.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mpgolfpro:
How do I turn off encryption? And by erase all data, you mean everything back to stock? Details would be great as Im new to all this. Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Svid:
Better backup your data before doing that
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kergefarkas:
When you disable encryption, you need to make a factory reset. And whenever you flash CM, you need to flash a kernel like franco's in the same session, otherwise CM will force encryption again. Check the link under Decrypted in my signature, all necessary steps are written in that thread.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] big_adventure:
The post above mine will lead you where you need to go, but basically, once you have a kernel that doesn't force encryption installed (such as Franco), you just boot into recovery, do a format userdata (this kills apps AND "sdcard" content), then boot the phone. Since stuff isn't encrypted, the kernel won't force the issue, and you're good to go.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] big_adventure:
Not necessarily - could have been music or something. Awake != bad. Your phone needs to be awake for some things.

I had to, for the first time ever across a dozen phones, install and use Greenify. Despite turning off all auto-refresh and all notifications for the app, Facebook (despite not being opened since boot) was still waking my phone numerous times an hour. I also had two games that I keep for my kids that, despite disabling all notifications, wouldn't stop notifying me. So, those three things are now Greenified. None of those three things used much battery - doing this only gained me a couple of percent of deep sleep at best, but it was annoying as hell that crappy apps were doing anything without me wanting them to.

That is something Google might want to build into Android at some time - the ability to treat certain apps like IOS apps, and hibernate them.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] qsec:
It should not be blinking when charging, it should be on all the time.

Mine does blink with some other chargers than the original.

And if you look in status under about this phone it probably toggles between charging and not charging. Probably due to a week charger.

This happend before this kernel update as well, now it just more visible when the led blinks.
