I've always loved franco kernel, and used them for all my android devices. Was using on 7.1 and was amazing.

Was on completely stock, fresh wiped 8.0 and was working great.

However, flashed r59 from twrp, and it's super laggy and hangs and stutters a lot. Rooted just to install FK Manager. Just seeing if anyone was/is having similar results. And if any idea how to combat these issues if I flash FK back on.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hmm... something's odd there, there's absolutely no lag at all, it's the same setup as < Oreo.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Daniel91z:
yep i'm on officiale Oreo (no custom rom) , i have googled a lot but obviously i'm doing something wrong with the boot.img stock.

Since i've no idea of what to do, can you guys tell me how would you flash back to stock kernel?

Probably soon or later i will wipe everything for a fresh install, but i'd like to know what im doing wrong...

edit: since im on r58, should i flash to boot.img > then flash r59 without booting the system?

thanks :p
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
There are several ways to get back to stock kernel.

1. Fastboot the stock boot.img from the factor image.

2. Restore your backup that hopefully you made.

3. If your using SU instead of Magisk, and you flashed SU before the custom kernel, just flash SU again.

4. If your using a good kernel management app like EXKM or FKM, you can backup/restore your stock and custom kernels.

5. You can use TWRP to flash the stock boot.img as well.

6. If your already on FK r58, just flash 59. No need to go back to stock kernel for that.

And there ya go :good:

Of course this kernel is universal, you can even install it on your coffee maker. Cheers and good luck!

Using the Night Shift QuickTile does absolutely nothing. After you press it and try to open the FK app it is completely frozen.

Enabling Night Shift from within the app works fine.

Stock rom, FK59 and Magisk 14.

I just tried it and it's working fine with stock rom and SuperSU v2.82-SR3.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] Is Conservative governor scrapped for Oreo? :confused:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eak1080:
It doesnt work with magisk, but it works with superSU... something about magisk being slow to issue root commands...

Annoying but not the end of the world.... Its the same thing that causes franco manager to be slow to load settings on magisk
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bluetigger68:
Just to be sure, flash stock boot.img via fastboot or TWRP and reboot back into TWRP, flash latest Franco and then SuperSU.

I can enable it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mick.li:
I can not install r59. After rebooting and opening FK Manager & Updater it always shows that I have kernel r1 installed. Even when I try to install r59 manually in TWRP.

I just noticed that while FK Manager & Updater shows r1, the "about"-tab of the phone shows kernel #59 correctly. Must be a bug in the app then.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Pipiou211:
Battery-save mode on, Power saving CPU profile and low usage (Messanger app for fb messages, WiFi on coffee and home, tons of mp3-player-usage and some google searches) resulted me to one and a half day (second day 17:00 o' clock it went zero percent).

(24+9 hours, considering I woke up 8 o' clock those two days)

It is supergood I guess ..

Have fun!

Is touchboost forcibly disabled or a toggle-able option?

Also are there any best practices when flashing kernels especially on already used ROMs like maybe doing the flash while the device is at 99-100% battery or 75 or any amount ?

Or is it not really that not picky just make sure the phone won't die during flash & 1st not?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Touchboost is disabled by default. No big deal on the battery juice. Just make sure it doesn't die. Oh, and make sure your on the roms stock kernel before you flash it.

Hi Franco! I'm on stock O, with latest r59 kernel, SuperSU rooted and FK Manager installed. I don't know why the battery labs settings, E/S fsync and haptic feedback doesn't stick after reboot. It's a bug on FK manager? Something that i could try to fix this? Thanks for your amazing work. ;)

Can I use this kernel with the latest RR Rom?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] swapavi:
Just clean flashed latest Oreo factory image (September security patch) and flashed r59 and magisk.

Got everything set up and when I went to check the kernel management app it shows all 4 big cores completely offline.

There is no way to enable those cores either, I tried clicking to enable them and restarted my phone to see if it was just bugged out, but nope. All 4 big cores completely offline and no way to put them back on.

I'm just confused because this was a clean flash so I have no clue why that happened

Anyone have any advice other than clean flash stock image again?

I just want all cores to get online.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] -Deco-:
Its probably just an analytic error, however try launching an app which requires high CPU usage - a game for example - if there's any slow launch of the game (or if it doesn't start whatsoever) the big cores may indeed be dead.

*However* if there's no notable performance drops it will most likely be an analytical error, count yourself lucky if it is the first option, most people cannot even boot their 6P as the cores are broken internally.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mikezf:
Change the performance profile more times or clear the cache and memory of FK manager.

I do, just been lazy to be honest.

Great update, I don't play games but running r3 on battery saver, I'm on pace for a easy 7 hr sot with high usage. The slow down doesn't really bother me at all and isnt very noticeable to me either. You the man franco
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mgear356:
Bro, sorry r3 is still causing hangs in future fight.. So far experienced 2 hangs in 2hrs.

Pls see logs
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
That is really odd. I was unable to reproduce it anymore and I really tried. I'll check the logs again. Thanks & sorry.

Kinda hard to figure out in the logs where those hangs happened. This never occurs in any of the other Kernels? And it also happens in r1?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mgear356:
No worries bro, I will monitor again..

Yup was on lean, elemental x, kyro and AK, all no issues except device is much hotter lol

If I remembered correctly, this problem exist in r1 and r2. Do let me know if u need more logs
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] THATTON:
R3 seems to have smoother performance compared to r2. Nice job! Battery is sipping too.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Those logs don't tell me much. I'll try to reproduce the issue again.

No surprise that others are hotter :)

EDIT: managed to reproduce it, I had both dmesg and logcat activated and running, I saw 0 errors. It seems like a deadlock from the looks of it. I'm going to try a couple things.

Dread to go back to other kernels.. Your voodoo of heat reduction is ducking unparalleled!

wow. am getting better battery life on r3.. 1hr 20min SOT. Mostly on Facebook, whatsappand tapatalk. no wifi, just mobile data. battery at 80%
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Casyis:
I noticed this, too. I didn't take any screenshots or perform measurements, so it's purely subjective on my part. With R2, I was getting awesome screen time, but waking the device frequently or switching between lots of apps was causing a noticeable dip in battery percentage. R1 was much smoother in this respect. Flashed r3 during my commute, and so far so good. Very smooth.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Brembo109:
Hey Franco do you reduce the vibration strength in your kernel by default? If I remember correctly you did this on other devices. Don't know if I'm just paranoid but vibration is so weak on the 6p and can't remember if it was this way on stock kernel.

Edit: Tested Stock Kernel again. Is definitely stronger. I hope this is no placebo and my fingers are tricking me

There are no Kernel patches from the September release, you can flash away.

That is false. The CPU is boosted on input touches.

There are no Kernel commits for the September release.

Battery lab settings it's working as intended (next release they'll have option to restore on boot). The others work fine for me, I just tested o_o
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] -Deco-:
Perhaps this is applicable?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Shaftamle:
Just wanted to stop by and say I think what you said in the link below is beyond cruddy! Especially since your kernel is pretty much stock-ish. Where do you get off blasting ROM developers? CM has talent? Is that why they went under? Paranoid Android? About as stock as a custom ROM gets. How about RESPECT?? Between Screwed, Pure Nexus and DU, how can you say they aren't as talented if not more then CM or PA?

Not real professional IMO.

https://plus.google.com/+AlexCruz/posts/8ib5y3kvRKW
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes, that patch is important, I already had it merged for some devices and will merge for Angler soon.

Shaftamle you're entitled to your opinion, I have the right to have mine. I didn't insult anyone through what I said. And just a small note, CyanogenMod didn't go under anything, CM was the open source, community driven, multi device Android rom. CyanogenOS was their commercial rom built on top of CM. They are completely separate. What went under was Cyanogen, the company, therefore CyanogenOS is dead. CM was rebranded to LineageOS and it still lives.

This is all I have to say on the matter, I already explained my point of view and it's pretty clear in the interview and everywhere else people decided to twist my words to their benefit (or simply just to hate, which is Alex does to everyone who doesn't share his views).

If you wish to discuss this, go ahead, you can contact me anywhere and I'll gladly answer, but I don't want to keep going that "hateville" road in this thread, I respect my user's inteligence enough to not have them go through this.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Shaftamle:
I respect the professionalism of your response. I can't say I agree when you say you didn't insult anyone. Maybe not directly but it seems like a pretty broad statement especially coming from someone who's as respected as yourself. That being said I can't disagree with you as far as Alex Goes because I've noticed that myself.

I guess all I'm saying is it was surprising coming from someone like yourself. When I first started rooting and modding your name is one of the first ones I learned since clearly anybody who does this knows you. I guess the only reason it bothered me is I try to give all of you guys respect because truthfully I know a little bit but without people like you and beans and everybody else that contributes Android would be a hell of a lot more boring!

No train to hateville here. I was just a little taken back, but as you said we all have the right to our opinions. Thanks

Screw Yourself with Screwed-7.1.2
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It's not an attack or a message to anyone, It's a broad statement. You have to put things into perspective, XDA is GIGANTIC, my "99%" number isn't that farfetched when you fanthom the absurd number of devices and roms around here. 1% of 100 is 1, 1% of 10000 is 100 (numbers are made up) and the 1% was just a number without any data to back it up.

There's a lot of amazing developers who've done great and original things through the times. sultanxda for example does amazing job, and he knows what he's doing. I respect anyone who tries to do things differently without trying to copy one another.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
Cruz likes hearing himself talk lol!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zelendel:
Yes but that team is the only one doing anything new. All the other are just cherry picking from one rom or another and using Los as a base which is a huge mistake.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xenreon:
With all due respect I'll have to disagree on that one. Sure du is one of the main contributors on the custom ROM scenario now but there are several other roms too that also contributes original and genuinely useful commits.

True that! Lol

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zelendel:
This is true. There a few but the number is very small and getting smaller everyday. The majority of roms are just Los roms with a bunch of cherry picks. I have gotten to the point that I wont even look at a rom past the CM base. Once I see that I go looking for another rom.

Just thought I should mention that r60 caused my Nexus 6p to go into boot loop. I'm on nitrogen OS Oreo 16/09
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] datsoy:
Working great here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cathlynn:
What order did you do your install?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] datsoy:
flash vendor first then ROM, Gapps, root method of choice, then custom kernel if any. if it boots flash other mods.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cathlynn:
Yep I did that. Though I flashed vendor, Rom, gapps then custom kernel. When it was stuck in boot loop, I reflashed the above but without the custom kernel and it booted up fine. I then tried again, but this time with elementalx and that worked no problem. So I reflashed everything again but with Franco and it got stuck in boot loop again.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] datsoy:
hmmmm. have you tried downloading FK again? or trying older versions?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cathlynn:
I did try downloading it again and have also tried r56 which was the version I was using on nougat.

I should mention that the boot loop that I was experiencing on r60 caused it to boot into the lock screen, then it just constantly restarts.

On r56 it actually boot loop. Doesn't even boot into the lock screen. I get the nitrogen OS boot animation and it just restarts the phone.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mikeandjaimie:
This was exactly what I experienced as well.. Had nitrogen running already and installed the franco app.. Everything was running good.. Used the app to download r60 and flash and when it booted up, got to lockscreen and as I started to unlock, it reboots android to the nitrogen logo, then shuts down till I manually restart the phone and go into recovery. Tried wiping caches and rebooting, same thing. Had to dirty flash rom/gapps/magisk to get it to boot back into system.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
No idea, maybe a conflict with Nitrogen's changes? I can flash the rom and see what happens.

No clue about magisk and nightshift, need to flash magisk and test.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jaladhjin:
Having a small issue with a Nexus 6p & the fku app.

The performance profiles tab won't show me anything after setting it to battery saving on the 1st day.

I've even done some reboots.

No force closes or anything it's just blank.

On PureNexus 7.1.2 & fk of course ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] revanmj:
This issue was mentioned many times - Magisk for some reason can take really long to process SU requests, which causes issues with apps like FK Updater.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] revanmj:
Yes, but it most likely have to be fixed by Magisk, so not much Franco can do about it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
If you're using magisk that might be the case since it's slow as hell to run commands. I do need to run a root command to check for the prop :/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It's definitely weird. It's on my to-do list to check.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jaladhjin:
So it might come up eventually I'd I just leave it on?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It already does.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jaladhjin:
I see what I have to do & yeah I'm using Magisk..

I've got to remove it from Recents to sorta fully close it & open again if I want to access the performance profiles..

All other tabs load fine while it's still available in Recents.

I was also wondering if you'd consider a feature in the FKU app :)

In the Performance Profiles you've got it able to set Android Battery Saver & the option to swap to Power Saving profile..

That's awesome I really love that but could you add the ability to swap back to the previous profile & disable Android Battery Saver when charged past the 5-25% threshold ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
In the next update that'll work much better, I have some derped code on that activity. Yeah, I have more ideas for that panel together with Battery Life Labs. Not sure I'll ship everything for 2.3 though, time's getting short.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jaladhjin:
I read the wording again & in its current iteration maybe I was mistaken.

When android battery saver is triggered if the power saving profile switch is enabled does it swap to the power saving profile?

I believe it does since I'm pretty confident I was running balanced until battery saver was triggered.

But the wording is strange so perhaps I was mistaken.

The way it is worded it kinda seems like it does the opposite.. low profile mode triggers battery saver..

In that case if that functionality is correct.. then I might increase my request to enabling the Power Saving profile when Android Battery Saver is activated :)

If so then yeah swap back would be so awesome.

I look forward to any of your new plans though ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't really remember from the top of my head how the whole thing works together, I need to re-read my code.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Matrix1999:
Hi,

I have recently installed Oreo on my 6P. And of course, I wouldn't even think twice and installed the Franco Kernel (via the update app). However, it seems like I am now stuck on the notication where it says "Flashing the Kernel... Magical enhancements incoming". The notification stays for long time (like 3+ minutes) and never rebooted my phone. I tried to flash the kernel via TWRP (latest version used) but every time when I open the update app it says my kernel version is r1 ?? I saw someone posted about this earlier and you said it would be fixed in the next app update, and that's fine.

However, what's strange now is that the following options are screwed up for me. I can't really set or reset them:

- Underclock the CPU

- Underclock the GPU

- Lower Max Brightness

So what should I do now? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
