Tasker

Ive got a profile set in tasker to change to the Power save profile at 25% battery. Along with this I would like to have the max clock be dropped to somewhere around 1.5ghz but when I use the cup task in tasker to set it, it wont actually be changed. Is there a way to do this without manually changing the frequency in FKU?

Franco Kernel - R10 stutter

Hello Franco,

since R8 or R9 (should be r9) im experiencing a little stutter in my APP drawer and options... And in chrome too..this was not on r7....Im stock rooted 5.0.1.... With R6 and R7 everything was perfect and suuuuper fast!

I just noticed that DT2W is in kernel settings in FKU. I was really surprised to see this as I thought Franco kernel does not support DT2W. So does this just enable the Google code or is it the more reliable implementation of DT2W by Flar?

This is just the google code, it's not the flair implementation. However on the chroma thread, there is a modified franco kernel that you could try that includes the flair DT2W and S2W and S2S

Problems updating to 5.1

Hey guys, I have problems updating my N6 to 5.1, I'm guessing it's because of the Franco.Kernel. I don't have too much knowledge about rooting and flashing back the original ROM, so I need a little help here :) How do I remove the Franco.Kernel and go back to stock 5.0.1? I tried flashing it with ADB already and it looked like it worked but after finishing my Precious is still running the Franco.Kernel. After I removed it and gone back to stock and updated (or flashed the 5.1 ROM) can I just reinstall the FK Updater app and SuperUser again?

Sensor_ind setting not working?

Hi all, VERY new to posting in forums, however, been lurking for a while doing my own educating and what not.

Running:

N6

Stock ROM 5.0.1 - encrypted, rooted, twrp recovery

franco.kernel r19

Xposed

Greenify

Adaptive Brightness - ON

Ambient Display - OFF

I have tried enabling, disabling, and re-enabling this wakelock setting under "Kernel Settings" with apply on boot checked and many reboots completed as well. (and verifying that the settings stuck after reboots - according to the franco kernel app anyway)

Directly after a reboot and for some variable duration afterwards the wakelock is indeed not showing up in BBS's list of kernel wakelocks and all seems well. At no particular time nor after a particular event (that my skills or knowledge have allowed me to find) the sensor_ind wakelock will appear and run for hours and hours. Seeing as this was the MAIN reason I donated to downloaded Franco's app package I am bummed out that this isn't working well. :\ :(

Can someone please advise?

PS - Please any thrashing you feel like dishing out if I deserve any. I have browsed this site along with Google resources for days now to the best of my abilities to find an answer along with emailing Franco himself, but have not gotten a reply yet, however, he was very prompt with my questions last week or so.

NextAlarmTracker Wakelock

I have been experiencing the NextAlarmTracker wakelock on my Nexus 6 running stock 5.1 LMY47D and Franco Kernel r28, and I have a rather persistent partial wakelock stemming from Android System. I looked around for information about it, but the only thing I could find is a CM12.1 commit (I can't link because I don't post with my XDA account much, but if anyone wants the link feel free to ask) which may be of use.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperfi123:
See I thought so too, but the wakelock doesn't show up on ElementalX or stock kernel, and the CM kernel commit mentions a fix for the nextalarmtracker wakelock, so it appears to be kernel related to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzfardaya:
By not kernel related, I mean the kernel isn't causing them.. It's likely caused by an incompatibility between the rom and kernel...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperfi123:
Ah I understand. That's what I figured as well. But it was stock LMY47D, so its still an issue that potentially could be an incompatibility with AOSP. The only thing I could think of that might have caused the wakelock on my end is that I disabled the msm_hsic_host and wlan_Rx_wake wakelocks, but I'll have to continue testing to see what exactly is the cause.

Profiles - > kernel adjustment to the colour space displayed, has no effect on battery usage.

Themes - > app level changes to the colours used by the app, darker themes use less display power on amoled screens.

Okay, so I've gone from stock Lollipop kernel to Franco, then back to stock, then Franco again, then stock then LeanKernel and what I see is that the original wall wart from the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 always register as AC chargers no matter what kernel I'm on, current drawn also stays consistent.

But I also use another USB wall wart, which is from an old bluetooth headset and this charger will register as AC when I'm on stock Lollipop kernel and draw 1000mA. But on Franco and LeanKernel, it registers as USB and only draw about 300mA.

It's not the cable either, I've swapped them. It's the wall wart and kernel combination.

I also have an external battery from ZeroLemon and it behaves the same way. It will register as AC charger with stock Lollipop kernel but USB on Franco and LeanKernel.
