r69 - March 8th, 2018

1. Merged March security patches

2. Some fixes

Auto-flash with http://beta.franciscofranco.xyz or get the zip from the OP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aquatix:
Interestingly, my 6P now spontaneously reboots randomly while being idle (laying on the table) after updating to r69. Using stock ROM, just rooted with SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] benchmaster:
R69 Spontaneously Reboots

Noticed the same thing twice this morning. Stock 8.1 OPM3.171019.014, Magisk V16.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChemoNL:
Can confirm the random reboots on R69.

Latest LOS 15.1 with Magisk
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] the.emilio:
Same. No logs though as I reverted back. Be sure to get a log if you're still running r69.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xterminater07:
Random reboots too! How do we revert back?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aquatix:
What's the best way to get logs (and which are relevant)?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] maxxie85:
I have the same experience. Going on vacation today so no logs from me. Sorry
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] the.emilio:
Here's a tutorial..

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aquatix:
OK, plain regular logcat, check. Mine appears to start with the boot after the crash though, it has no log of the latest crash itself. Having it dumping log continuously to disk now, maybe it reboots in the near future.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] maxxie85:
Flashed r68 again, no random reboots anymore.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] techmekk:
My 6p ends up in bootloop after auto flash the r55 with the FK manager, I tried to flash it with recovery, same effect. Anyone with the same problem?

Running Pure Nexus 7.1.2

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aquatix:
Can't seem to get a log of the crash: every logcat starts at boot time right after...

Reverting to a previous version now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rsobczuk:
My phone also restarted twice today on r69.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CH3ck0r:
I am also experiencing random reboots (1-5 per day).

Current system:

OPM3.171019.016 (march security update)

fk #69

stock rom without root

the phone was idling in my pocket upon reboot

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] maxxie85:
You can flash r68, I did and there is no random reboot anymore.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rsobczuk:
Flashing back to r68 with the newest android (march update) works ok.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Yikes. My phone has never been slower on latest version.

Is that normal? How do I fix this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TR2N:
I so habe reboots and terrible slow downs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aquatix:
I also have the slowdowns on r68 (or at least after reverting to it); it makes the phone just stall for extended times. Flashed stock kernel and seeing how that works for now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] komidzo:
Congrats???
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] maxxie85:
Oh strange, I'm running Rock solid on R68 with latest security patch.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aquatix:
Yeah, not sure what's up. Wanted to see if they return with stock kernel and then retry r68. Stock seems to be smooth on my device now, so will likely be back on FK tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mlin:
I believe you need to reflash the system partition as well.

From the SU thread found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3

"If you are coming from any SuperSU install in /system, you must re-flash the stock system (and vendor and oem, if present) partition contents prior to installing this."
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gytole:
I flashed the Pure Nexus, booted pure nexus, R3 then came out, rebooted into recovery, flashed UNsu, then flashed R3, then 2.64 systemless and my phone is just fine eithout relashing partitions?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Asselalf:
Thats correct. If your ROM comes with SuperSU 2.5x you have to unroot first, then flash this awesome Kernel and then flash SuperSU 2.60 or later

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gytole:
no, I was saying that this is what I did and I am fine without flashing system again...hahaha

not my first rodeo on Andy
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Exactly, why would you flash system again?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] seh6183:
How do you access kernel features such as high brightness and speaker gain without the FKU app as it is not updated yet? Is there a way to do it with terminal?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
High brightness mode: /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb0/hbm

speaker l: /sys/class/misc/soundcontrol/speaker_l_boost

speaker r: /sys/class/misc/soundcontrol/speaker_r_boost
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] seh6183:
Do I just type those into terminal, or do I use root explorer to access those files and make modifications?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Whatever works for you.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gytole:
Has everyone gone full befuddled or what?

I have noticed that the confusion is almost at an all time high...

I don't get where to reflash things when the boot gets patched anyways...but idk I am not a developer.

Do have a random question, as I hate dirty flashing, strong beliver that clean is king, is there a way to erase the kernel before flashing thebnew kernels as time progresses? Sure it is fine to flash overtop, which I have done for years...but just curious if I can add a nice fun step to my TWRP routine. Hahaha

Thanks again for the 3rd Kernel Franco, won't be leaving my device until the next revision!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Wiping before flashing just a kernel is like wiping your butt after you pee. You can do it if you want to, but it is not really going to do anything.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't fully understand what you mean with "erase the Kernel before flashing the new kernels as time progresses". These things are written to a block, theres no "cleaning" before hand. FK doesn't change any system file, you just need to flash it on top of whatever thing you had before and forget about it :)

Is es file explorer pro the best root explorer?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gytole:
Good to hear, like I said was just curious if it had any benefits, didnt care either way! Thanks guys
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] seh6183:
I'm using the standard es file explorer, not even pro, and I was able to adjust those settings just now. It can be used as a root explorer without buying the pro.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Root Explorer is, in my opinion, the best one.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] EarlZ:
What app to use for the speaker gain control ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:

Kernel is so good in battery life and my phone is not lagging but sometimes my phone reboots, any fix for that?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sharp87:
battery Life backup is good but Phone gets rebooted with latest release.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChemoNL:
Already discussed, r69 causes reboots. Revert back to r68 untill the dev can fix this.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xingyakong:
My phone always rebooted after flashing r69
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gamool:
Yesterday I got one hour of SoT using only 25% of the battery and I was thrilled. Naptime was running in the background and underclocking CPU to 50% less. Performance was a bit laggy but I was fine.

Thank you sir for developing a ground-breaking kernel!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] darksome123:
Is there a reason why "Underclock the CPU" under Battery Life Labs enables itself? I press "Restore" and it goes back to the "Applied" state even after restarting the app. Currently running the "Balanced" profile. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] darksome123:
I'm very well aware of that. It still doesn't answer my question as to why it enables itself. My phone is speedy at times and sometimes it's greatly throttled. I go back to check and sure enough "Underclock the CPU' is enabled. Is this just part of how the "Balance" profile functions or is something else causing it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
hi, I have a problem with your sources. compiling the kernel for a Nexus 6p gives me an image.gz-dtb file. replacing it with the zImage file of your precompiled package does not start the phone. what procedure do you use to package in zImage? the make command does not allow it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r70 with a couple fixes, go get it!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I think you're just thermal throttled.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gamool:
Thanks Sir! Is this gonna fix random reboots?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] maxxie85:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] incognitonk:
The quick settings tile for the Night Mode in FKM is not very consistent. Sometimes I need to tap it twice for it to activate. Sometimes it takes too long to activate, so I press the tile again, so Night mode turns ON and turns OFF right after. Right now I have to open the app, so to Display Controls, then Night mode, and then finally turn it on or off. Too many steps.

Can you add an App Shortcut for Night Mode? Like the ones you have for Performance Profiles? Those would be immensely helpful.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CaIydon:
Can someone confirm there are no rebooting issues with r70? I'm scared to flash haha!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChemoNL:
Flashed it last Monday. Since then no issues
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] incognitonk:
Magisk? You mean as a root manager?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Well the tiles aren't really synchronous, so it's not instant after tapping them. But they'll get activated.

App Shortcut for Night Mode, yup, sure thing!

I put my 6P and 5X into a 24 hour long CPU stress test with random threads spawning at crazy rates and with some fake load going up and down. They passed the test. I know there are other crazy tests I can do but be sure to let me know :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
New beta!

http://beta.franciscofranco.xyz
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gamool:
I am on r70, today my battery went down from 65% to 30% after a random unplanned reboot.

Another planned manual reboot killed my battery from 28% to 5%.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Seems like you have some other issues...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AforAnonymous:
1. Flashed angler-opm3.171019.016-factory-08de5265 (Stock, March update.)

2.. Converted to File-Based Encryption (FBE) via developer options.

3. Flashed the special TWRP build from https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/854#issuecomment-372503905 to have TWRP with FBE support

4. At this point, phone can boot & works fine, FBE works as intended.

5. Flashed fk-r70-anykernel2.zip from TWRP.

6.. Phone remains stuck in active boot animation (i.e. the animation does NOT freeze, phone does NOT bootloop, just... the boot never ends.)

Any suggestions for figuring out why/how this happens?

Hey Franco,

Since the beta 9 update for your kernel manager the temperature monitor doesn't update anymore. Is this intentional?

Nope, it'll be fixed.

After latest update, Night Shift on Automatic (Sunset to Sunrise) turns on automatically, but fails to turn off in the morning. I have to manually turn it off. Is this a bug or something else causing it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] infus38:
Hi :)

Your kernel is just awesome , even more with your kernel manager for switch between profile when needed

Only one problem

When I use wifi the battery drain fast ( of course less than stock 0_o ) is it possible to reduce that please

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your hard work

Thomas
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] burningcreation:
How do you know it's this kernel causing the issue?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] infus38:
I'm also a kernel builder

My kernel faced some problem regarding that I just use a TCP less aggressive and reduce some wakelok for that thing

But I'm not like Franco , I didn't manage to drasticaly reduce it

This I don't have other ideas for reduce it

Have a nice day

Can i fix my nexus 6p lag?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dankstogin:
Running r71 on lineage right now. Running smoooooth. Broken fastboot brought me back to the custom room scene and I'm liking it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gamool:
- On this kernel, the last 30% is wasted, battery goes down by 30% and switches off.

- On default LineageOS kernel, my battery goes down to 9% then switches off.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mbc663:
Has nothing at all to due with the kernel. Your battery is degrading, replace it
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] darksome123:
Edit: Night Shift doesn't even turn off with custom timer.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aquatix:
I have the same issue. When I change the setting in the app, it immediately corrects itself.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chrb1985:
I am sad to say I don't use this kernel anymore. After many attempts I have now stoped using it. The reason is that it breakes the 4G.. the wierd thing is I can still play Boom Beach without issues but the XDA app an regular browsing in e.g Chrome does not work. Same with Facebook and messenger not working. This is sad because I was really satisfied with this kernel for a long time..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chrb1985:
I know now after a lot of problem seeking it has nothing to do with the kernel! It is something with the root access in LOS15.1
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kureta:
Hey [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

I have added USB HID support to your kernel using patches from pelya/android-keyboard-gadget repository, and sent you a pull request from github. I hope it's ok for you. Thanks for the great kernel and the manager app!

Hey Franco,

Is there a reason may security patch love is absent?

Max
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Face_Plant:
Google just published the May security patch 2 days ago and I assume Franco has a life outside of Android kernels, other more popular devices to support, or whatever. Pestering him for an update won't make it come any faster.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] frreak:
Does my device need to be rooted?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] maxxie85:
I thought they were released earlier.

Pestering is not my intent. I was just curious, there is a difference. That's also why I asked about a reason instead of a when. And I think as a long term supporter of his work I'm allowed to ask a question once a while.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

You can install the kernel from TWRP and it will function fine without root.

If you want to use the functionality from the kernel manager, like night shift, you need root.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Face_Plant:
Google posted the May security patch for supported devices on May 7th, but pulled the update for the 6P an hour or two later. They finally officially released the update for the 6P on May 15th. The reason for this is unknown.

For the past few months they've been posting two different builds for the 6P, but this month they only posted one. I suspect there were some bugs as a result of merging the two builds, so the update was pulled to fix them. This is just speculation, so there's a chance I'm completely wrong. We'll probably never know...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] maxxie85:
Ah that it was pulled I didn't know.

Maybe I missed it due to all the announcements from Google I/O.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kherboucha:
I know thanks, but i was wondering if it will be implemented in future updates ... That would be great [emoji106]
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ziedje:
Hello,

I've been using this kernel for 2 months, but I always had problems with that the cpu tab in battery tabs was always on "applied" and wouldn't return to normal when I restored.

I've flashed back the stock kernel (flashed boot.img, then I updated my device with the latest full OTA) , uninstalled the app but it's still slow, so I installed the app again and it still said "applied".

How can I fix this? I might sell the device so I won't go back to Franco Kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mbc663:
Sounds like it might be thermal throttling. does your phone get really hot? original battery?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Willdrick:
Thanks Franco for your work! I was having some issues with battery life on vanilla AOSP, switched to lineage and kept having my battery drain overnight. With your kernel and naptime I noticed a huge improvement!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ziedje:
I have a dbrand skin + Spigen rubber case. Sometimes when I'm out on a hot day the screen is indeed hot but this rarely happens. The issue with "25% CPU applied at boot" is an issue I've seen in other Franco Kernel threads on XDA. I thought that reverting to the stock kernel would fix this but unfortunately it's still slow. It is the original battery.

Also when I installed Franco kernel, my phone would often shut down when the battery was 20% or lower (rarely survived when 15% and under). This only happened once many months ago with the stock kernel. Since reverting back to the stock kernel, the issue hasn't occurred yet. (battery life did suffer but was expected)

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aureljared:
The big cluster is disabled when the device is too hot. AFAIK the kernel manager hides the big cluster when it's disabled.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rootvish:
Is there any setting I can use to reduce the temps, I would really appreciate it as my phone gets too hot after light use and affects my battery. What kernel manager would you recommend and any specific settings I can tweak ? I understand it's different with different users and usage but I would just like to get a feel from you guys as I haven't flashed a kernel in a while. Currently on AICP ROM. Thanks !
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] LordKitsuna:
Any chance you could toss MPTCP into this kernel? I am trying to find a kernel for the 6P with this, i have a usecase for it at work and would love if you could consider it. More info is available on their site. https://multipath-tcp.org/pmwiki.php/Users/Android Thanks for reading.
