Does anyone know if touch boost is turned off by default? If no, how do I turn it off? Thx :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I already answered that question, you don't disable msm_thermal since that's the Kernel driver. Just change the temperature if you want, but take notice that higher temp threshold and the phone will only throttle when it gets to that point, and lower threshold the device will throttle sooner.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Why would you possible want to disable input boost freq?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
Msm_thermal doesn't do anything on this device. Just set the temp and change the file then you are good.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yilun:
Tbh, I have no idea.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I strongly suggest you don't do it. It guarantees cpufreq will stay up there when there's input interactions.

Naptime update for Android N

hey [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], thanks for the Naptime update for Android N some minutes ago, its the #1 doze optimization app and now also improves doze even more in Android N.

I sent a donation to thank you for your efforts. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thank you very ****ing much :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Thanks, I appreciate.

Thanks, changed the temp and installed the thermal tweak with TWRP.

Unless I'm doing it wrong (using R17 on MTC20F), I'd like to report that rotation is broken on R17.

I suspect a vendor partition issue [emoji19]
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] apatal:
I believe r17 is only supposedly for Android 7.0. Try r16.

like we all know him, [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] will apply this patch soon ... maybe alongside with a few other specialties :D

Franco's middle name is specialties =]

I just didn't know if the toolchain gets included in a source drop lol hence the shruggie

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
r17 is for Nougat. Says on the OP and in the changelog.

I'm already using the nougat-release branch patches.

Hi Franco, thanks for your amazing work.

I would like to ask your opinion on the mod L-Speed http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138, considering that I'm of course already using your kernel. Do you suggest using this mod? Do you think it will add any beneficts?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hilla_killa:
This mod is not made specific for 5x, it is universal so i dont see how can achieve any real gains from this, different strokes for different folks! but like always make a backup and try it. If u dont like it restore
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pitt93:
i've tried to disable touchboost on N cause i found N smoother than M.

No difference, the device is smooth as before, but now the cpu frequencies remain low when touch display.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
thats the way how its supposed to work, and thats good.

btw: in francokernel touchboost is disabled by default and there is no option for that, so most likely you meant input boost.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It's bull****.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Psychofrantics:
I dont think so that touchboost is disabled. I guess franco kernel dont allow you to disable touchboost. Correct me if I am wrong
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SKUndef:
Good to know!

Btw today i got 3h SOT with 50% battery left. Thanks Franco :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
gladly I correct you:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Thanks fo clarification. You always learn something new
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
input boost isn't disabled. You can disable it through cpu-boost (if you have FKUpdater it's very easy though).

to disable:

echo 0 > /sys/module/cpu_boost/parameters/input_boost_enabled

to enable:

echo 1 > /sys/module/cpu_boost/parameters/input_boost_enabled

It's obviously enabled by default.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
What? touchboost and input boost are synonyms, they mean the same thing. Of course boosting cpu on touch is enabled, this **** would lag everywhere if you disabled it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
I always disable input boost and never had lags. maybe its a question of governor profile/settings. also, I don't use any games or heavy apps.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pitt93:
Sorry I meant turn off "input boost".

I've disabled it (on N+ fk17) and the bullhead works fine. As smooth as before.

Edit:

When i've tried to disable it on M the bullhead became a bit laggy, but on N is Always smooth so i've preferred to turn it off
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
r18 is up. Get it now https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FranciscoFranco1990/posts/W4MK2YBN1zz
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
nice, thanks!

does the fingerprint boost drain significant more battery when unlocking the phone very frequently?

also, can you disable those wlan wakelocks by shell command, too?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] 021adam:
Flashed r18 and wouldn't boot. Wouldn't get past initial Google screen. Yes I'm on Nougat. Was running r17 before flashing r18.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] RTNDO128:
Autoflash doesn't appear to be working on 7.0. After the "magical enhancements" message, my phone rebooted and was still on r17.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Richard_10:
Franco, can you explain futher these Wlan parameters olease. ? And how it's gonna help our battery ?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] eatsleep:
Theoretically, yes. It would be almost negligible But why are you so much concerned with battery life? You bought your phone to use it, right?

Just charge it again or buy a battery pack
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
The same thing happend to me, but it was ny first time updating with FKU.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dickenam:
This happened to me as well.

Also, unrelated: are we able to modify "/sys/module/cpu_boost/parameters/input_boost_freq"? All the changes I made there via Root Explorer would not save, I tried repeatedly. FKU will only let me change CPU0 and CPU4.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
For those who can't flash the kernel, use FlashFire by Chainfire.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] schaggo:
On the SD808 and its brothers and sisters all cores in a cluster always share the same freq. So small cluster=CPU0 freq, big cluster=CPU4 freq. Cores cannot be separately set.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] antroid88:
And again FK updater 2.0 failed to flash the kernel. Franco, can you please put new downloaded zips not in backup folder, but in sdcard/download? It's weird to look for new kernels in backup folder.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] grumphy:
OK. So autoflash downloads the file w.out .zip extension, causing the flash to fail. Download 1st, then flash it. this works as workaround for now.

Further, download loc. can be changed in FK app.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
1 - Nope.

2 - Yes.

That's really weird. I tried and it worked. I'm so sorry, I don't really know more.

Yes, there's something going on with auto-flash and Nougat. I'm working on it.

I don't know why those locks might be acquired, but a wakelock keeps your phone awake, so if you're having a ton of those you can now disable them.

I'm really sorry. Auto-flash is pretty reliable, but there's something going on with Nougat and I haven't yet figured it out.

sysfs changes don't stay on boot, that's how Linux works. CPU0 and CPU4 are like the master cores, changes are synced with cpu1, 2, 3 and then with 5, 6, 7 respectively.

You can change the download path through settings.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Weird. I dunno what's causing that issue, but thanks for the tip.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] apatal:
And don't flash then follow it up with SuperSU. The latter seems to be looking for something that's currently not supported by the kernel so it restores the "stock boot image" which in this case, is r17. Too bad I didn't manage to backup the last FlashFire log before my last (successful flash).

Bottomline: flash the kernel by itself using FlashFire.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
No problem. I was able to download de zip file and then I flashed using TWRP. Everything went great.

Franco, could you describe your settings and major apps? I mean, just to know the scenario that you make your magics.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't see how that's related to FK.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I use the same settings I ship FK with, if it's good for me, it's most likely good for most users. I don't use mostly any app (besides my own apps), I just use my devices to development. But I do use Per app profiles A LOT though.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
Here is last log of the successful flash with FlashFire

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57c79ed3a8d2f/lastlog.txt

I think that the anykernel method is causing some trouble on Android N.

Tested to flash ex kernel with twrp and that is working fine.

Fk works only by flashing it with FlashFire.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
so whats the command/sys path please? :)

EDIT:

found it, its echo N > /sys/module/wakeup/parameters/enable_wlan_wow_wl_ws

btw: can we disable /sys/module/wakeup/parameters/enable_wlan_ws, too?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Richard_10:
I flashed with twrp. and no problem. I must say I did a clean android N install ( factory image ) then I flashed franco r17. now I flashed r18 and everything went well.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guys that are having the trouble upgraded to N through OTA ( even if I don't have scientific explanation to that)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
Nope. Flashed the factory image. Are you encrypted?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Richard_10:
No
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
I just say r18. You know why I use your kernel? Because battery is good and its fast and stable. (I love FKU too!!) I guess that's what anyone would use a custom kernel. Yeah so anyway thanks and have a good day. :D
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pitt93:
wow, r18 is incredible.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Rapper_skull:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] Why are so strongly against call recording? There are plenty of cases where is is perfectly legit.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] JJHunterx:
I've had the same issue on other versions on MM...try booting into recovery and flashing, then try to boot, when it sits on the Google screen, hold Pwr+Vol Down buttons till it boots to booloader, then go to recovery then flash the kernel again...sounds strange but it has worked for me.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AllCapsMatt:
I flashed Franco in TWRP. It worked. Not sure what everyones issue is
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Also flashed R17 and R18 using TWRP and both were fine.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
flashing in TWRP works, but autoflash via the app or flashfire doesn't because of some incompatibilities with N. franco is aware of that and he's working on it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Yeah, I know. He quoted me 2 days ago when I related the issue here.

BTW, so far I'm very satisfeid with R18.

Regards
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
me too, very good kernel release!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Issues with auto-flash on Nougat have been identified and fixed thanks to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]. I already pushed a beta release of the app into the store and if no big issues are identified until then, I'll push it to production Monday/Tuesday.

Yes, you can disable both if you want.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Yes :good:

Not only my family had issues with ilegit call recording, I strongly believe no one should have the power to record a call without authorization. The decision is final and there's nothing anyone can say/do to change my mind. Users are free to fork my Kernel source and it themselves.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Rapper_skull:
I know it's your decision, I just wanted to ask. BTW call recording is legal in many countries and cases.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
it doesn't matter if its legal as its a personal decision because of some experiences in the past, obviously. please respect that.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Rapper_skull:
Where do you read that I can't accept his decision and can't live without call recording?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
your hint that its legal in some countries was just unneccesary ... nevermind, have a good one.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Sure, and I respect that ;)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] OptimusVDarwin:
Franco kernel always has good better life!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
I'm satisfeid with Franco Kernel. Made a post about my battery life HERE. I'm happy with perfomance and battery life.

Thanks Franco, keep up with your excellent job.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
[MENTION=410271]fransisco[/MENTION]franco I have been using ElementalX and ex kernel manager for over a year now. I've been playing around with your kernel for a little bit and I'm hooked. Just went and purchased your kernel auditor to go along with your kernel properly. Thank you very much for your work and dedication to the Android community! :svetius:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
You mean Fku? ;)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thank ya'll! :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
I know this may seem very trivial, but I did not get that achievement for donating for support on the Dark theme? Not complaining, but just thought you should know.... Bug?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] antroid88:
Hey Franco! Just discovered headphones volume gain in FKU. Really cool feature because I listen tons of podcasts and audiobooks. But I'm little bit aware with these volume gains. Is there a chance to damage hardware by volume gains for headphones or speakers? I put headphones gain for 10 now.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Yes. If they get set too high they can be damaged. Experiment.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] antroid88:
Any idea what is "high"? I put 3 for headphones initially. Difference was significant. 5 and 10 - volume definitely increased, but not so significantly as from 0 to 3.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
It all depends on the headphones I believe. Check the max decibels allowed on each headphone. Just keep bumping up your game until you notice the headphones getting to distorted.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
I have some issue with the purchased dark theme.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Were you connected to Play Games?

I doubt it'll cause hardware issues on the headphones, but you'll probably hear distortions because that's pumping the gain DB. Just use the value you're confortable with.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Don't know if here is the correct place for the question, but let's see if someone knows or can try to help me. Let me try explain.

Even when I was on MM, i've noticed that sometimes my battery was on 83% for a long period (the % is just an example) and then, it almost "drops" directly to 81%, I mean, only stay on 82% for a really short period. I saw it happens on MM (full stock) and now on N (both ExKernel and now with Franco).

If I remember right, it also used to happen on my old Galaxy S6. Does it have an explanation?

It is not a problem, my battery is good (as some of you could see on my screenshots), but it's kinda curious.

Is it related to kernel or something?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Yes.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It's just the system auto-correcting itself.

Ok, that's not good. I'll look into it. I'll also add a routine to award the achievement retroactively for the next release.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Thanks for the explanation.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milan187:
So this is my first time playing with kernels. I just installed the kernel. Do I need fku? I plan on getting it if I am happy with performance. Just wondering what are the most useful features in fku.

Thanks for developing for our phone.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Welcome to the dark side. You don't need FKUpdater, but it's a very powerful tool. I think most important features are listed in the app description, but I'm particularly proud of Per-App Profiles and how powerful it is. Performance Profiles are also pretty handy since it works in symbiose with FK and it's dead simple to apply without messing with any other setting.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] antroid88:
For me: volume gains, per app profiles, system monitor, but mainly the way to support dev.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milan187:
Wow a reply from the man him self.

That feature sounds pretty awesome actually.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
What is the best way to instal de monthly security updates, since the phone isn't stock anymore? Stock Nougat + TWRP + Franco and rooted
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ota.zip from Google.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
Please add gamma color support.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/...16218c0#diff-e687f19dc3a0542d999ba239bd62303c
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Thanks, bit what files should I flash from the Ota.zip?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
The entire zip. Considering there's still no security patchsets for Nougat, there's nothing to worry about. But when they arrive, just download the zip and adb sideload ota.zip with stock recovery/twrp.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] antroid88:
In FKU per app profiles sometimes got stuck so I have to manually switch performance profile of the whole system. Can't find a solid way to reproduce it. Seems like the issue happens when I switch a lot between apps with applied per app profiles and when I turn off screen when I browse through these apps.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] eatsleep:
Can I buy fku anywhere except playstore? (I don't own a credit card, will borrow my buddy's)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Would you be kind enough to tell me exactly what gets changed when switching the performance profiles? Or is there some documentation I can read for myself?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
This is not gamma
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] inscythe:
Ever since I updated to Nougat and r18, I noticed that the stock adaptive brightness behaviour is a bit weird. Upon wake up, the brightness would go to the lowest then return to normal after about 1 second. It seems that the ambient light sensor doesn't kick in together with the screen.

I haven't done thorough check with stock kernel or r17. I just wanna check whether anyone here is experiencing the same issue. Running a rooted stock Nougat with r18 (and Naptime aggressive doze).

Still, just a small price to pay for an excellent battery life with this kernel and Naptime!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yeah, saw that happen sometimes. Very hard to debug and reproduce though. 2.0.3 should be up in the store tomorrow which had some fixes on the service. I haven't been able to reproduce it anymore

Neps, sorry.

Yeah, you can read init.performance_profiles.rc from the root of your device. I can copy pasta the contents if you can't read it yourself.

Probably two things:

1 - r18 has stock brightness algorithm, pre-r18 I had backlight dimmer automagically applied by default. You can still enable it though

2 - Naptime's sensor disable might do that (I have yet another workaround planned for the next release)

Kindly show me what is "gamma" and I'll implement.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Thank you. Found it. So can I just change the script manually if I wanted to adapt it more personally?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
If I'm not mistaken it's because of Naptime? I have the same issue....
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Don't mess with that file. It's part of the ramdisk. I made the Perf Profiles to be just like that, static and non-editable.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] inscythe:
Thanks for the quick reply! I seem to have forgotten about that Naptime FAQ. Turning off the sensor disable eliminates the issue. However, I decided to keep the sensor disabled for now... Kinda addicted to the battery life.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
That is not gamma
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzo_cz:
Just a quick q, guys. Is it ok to leave the CPU Boost by default? Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Psychofrantics:
You can absolutely leave everything on stock franco. It is just awesome as it is. And install naptime also. Killer combo
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzo_cz:
Fantastic bud. Cheers for that. Heard of NapTime. Now I am Franco stuff all the way :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Ok, thank you. I'm gonna use TWRP.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Awesome! Enjoy it and feel free to chime in anytime, I'm pretty active.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'm growing ****ing tired of that. I already showed you our current display calibration suite. If you think its not suited please make a pull request with your code. Spamming that **** every ****ing page will just annoy me specially after my replies.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzo_cz:
Brough, I would like to chime in but there's nothing to be talking about. I am speachless. SPEACHLESS. Having put all your stuff on plus System Monitor I can just be staring at my phone in wonder. This stuff is a bloody hell one. Kernel smooth and like one brough said on here with Nap Time the device just keeps on flying. Absolutely stunning work sir. And after all those attempts to get better SOT I was almost sure to get back to MM even if I've enjoyed the N. There's no need now.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] antroid88:
Has anyone tried Naptime and Google fit? Doesn't seem that Fit survives aggressive doze even if it's white listed in the app and not optimized in Battery settings.
