Nothing sticks for me. Not in previous version or updated one. FKUpdater doesn't seem to run at boot. At least it doesn't ask for su. :(

Edit: I use Xposed though so maybe I brought this on my self. :victory:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kiden:
For me I can replicate it like this:

1. Fresh install of ROM or app. (Clearing data works)

2. Open and go to kernel settings.

3. Change value from 18 to 60 or 50 or anything that you like. I've tried with many higher values and the issue persists.

4. Flip the switch to set on boot.

5. Reboot and it works.

6. Go back into the app, change value from what you set it to before to anything else.

7. Reboot. Now it's not what you set it to either time, but 18 which is the default.

I get the toast notification every time so the app is running at boot. Hope this helps!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I just reproduced it following your steps. No idea why it happens though. I'll post about it when I find more info.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
I also checked against. After each change of any setting you do, you have to disable and re-enable the switch for applying on boot again, no matter if you did it already before. This way it works so it isn't really a critical issue.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just found the issue!!!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kiden:
Good to hear! As a fellow coder, I know how annoying these kinds of things can be. Thanks for the great kernel and awesome service on the app!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
word!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
If this is indeed the way to reproduce, then I can see why I did not have the issue. When I use EXKM, changing any setting automatically removes the "Set on Boot" setting. With that in mind, I toggled "Set on Boot" in FKU when I changed settings after a reboot. Same as below.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed a new FKUpdater 14.2 build to the store. Users affected with the issues we discussed in the last pages please test it out and let me know if it's all ok :) Things like vibration not sticking through reboots etc
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dumbhorse:
Awesome, everything sticks. Even performance profile. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Performance profiles always stick :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dumbhorse:
Didn't for me. :b this update I uninstalled, re-flashed r8, cleared dalvik and cache and then installed the app to make sure everything would work as it should.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Well that was unnecessary but if it's working for you, great!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dumbhorse:
Hehe yeah I suppose but since nothing was sticking I guessed something was wrong somewhere.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Well I'm happy it's all dandy now!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
If the start screen of FKU tells that there is a new kernel version available and I hit "auto flash" or "download zip" simply nothing happens (i.e. when on r7). Of course, downloading the zip (r8) manually and flashing it in TWRP is working. Also, everything else seems to work fine. So what's the possible issue regarding the app? (I'm on latest stock 6.0.1, FK, FKU, SuperSU and TWRP)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kiden:
Everything is working as expected now. Thank you very much! I just flashed your kernel on a friends N5X and he's loving it too.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Are you using the Free version?

Awesome!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
nope, it's the latest paid version.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Uh... I don't know. I use auto-flash every-time I release a new Kernel to make sure everything is working, and it is. The code hasn't changed in years and always worked. So I dunno.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] cogency:
Hi all - read through most of this thread but couldn't find a definitive answer: is it possible to flash this kernel and keep Android pay? Based on what I've read I think it should be if I 1) unlock bootloader 2) flash custom recovery 3) flash kernel

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
[KERNEL][N5X][ALL ROMS] franco.Kernel - r8

Yes. There's probably other info somewhere about it, but, don't quote me on this, not rooting goes a long way to make sure Android pay works.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pkadavid:
Are you going to stay on the stock ROM? If so, AP works for me with FK. Here are the steps:

- Unlock bootloader, root (systemless), flash custom recovery, flash kernel all per the instructions in the link here.

- Follow the instructions here on how to get AP to work.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ppaasseeii:
Hey FranciscoFranco, thanks for the great app (I have the paid version). I was wondering if the following fixes/enhancements would be possible for the widget:

- Update/refresh the widget after a reboot. As of now, none of the performance profiles is highlighted after a reboot.

- Reduce the size of the widget. 3x3 seems a little big, could it fit in 3x2? (very optional request, of course)

Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'll try. Widgets are a pain to code!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] MaLiXs:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tomj44:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kiden:
Slightly OT I admit, but Franco, what device is your actual daily driver, and what rom do you use? I'm debating if now that I am rooted and everything if I should just dive back into the ROM world fully, instead of Stock+FK.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
He is using iPhone 6S as a daily driver, because he don't want to feel like working when he at outside.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] schaggo:
I know it was brought up already and you debated it [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] but ceteris paribus I get better uptime on R7 than on R8. I let both kernels do their thing for a couple days to get an average feeling and R7 consistently kept the device charged higher than R8. It's not worlds, but up to +20% on R7 at the end of the day.

The switch was done as follows: stock MHC19Q boot.img, SuperSU, R8 kernel.zip --> same stock boot.img, same SuperSU, R7 kernel.zip.

Anyone else the same? Any idea what it could be? Some weird outcome of the specific compilation of R8? Heard compilations can yield the strangest things between one run and another.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
My personal device is an iPhone 6S, but on my working devices (Nexus, you name it), it's stock rom + FK.

Uh... none of the patches introduced on r8 touch battery life. While testing a new app I managed to reach almost 10h SoT with the 5X using r8 (without a sim, just wifi and GPS and 50% screen brightness, so it isn't something any of you can compare with since this thing is just sitting here at my desk).
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] BurningKoala:
Hi! Quick question, I've flashed this kernel for the first time on my n5x and I've noticed that the vibration feels less powerful, I've found the option to increase the strength on the premium app but what's the stock value? I'm afraid I can damage the vibration motor

In this topic I've found 33, is that right?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
There's no way you can damage the motor. Stock is 33 I believe, but I'm not sure. Just increase it until you're comfortable. I may increase the default value a little bit now that the motor has been tweaked since the 6.0.1 update.

Not currently. It's something I plan on re-adding sometime.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] bobby janow:
Yes, that's for sure. But if they want AP to be widely recognized and implemented they need to allow the bleeding edge to push it. As of now they are losing us and simply saying eff you. I'll use my credit card.

Should i install it on fresh stock or can i flash it on antoher kernel (elementalx)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
don't flash it over another custom kernel ... first flash the boot.img (kernel) that came with your ROM, after that flash the FK zip in recovery and you should be good.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] destronije:
Is automatic power saver in FKU working for you guys?

I have set it to trigger on 20% battery, but nothing happens, power saving profile never activates.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ppaasseeii:
Doesn't work for me either.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kryddan:
Sorry for posting this but I'm a bit confused. So better safe than sorry :)

I have stock MTC19T now with this custom stock-boot.img

What would be the best procedure for me? What makes me confused is this.

* If you're on stock rom + r4, or older, you should be flashing stock boot.img first, then r5, or newer;

* If you're on a custom rom + r4, or older, you should dirty flash the rom (or extract its boot.img and fastboot flash it) and then r5, or newer;

I don't feel that any of them apply to me. Am I wrong, or just confused :) ?

Someone please straigthen this out for me, please.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
Just flash the kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] myawan:
Friends is there any way to control auto brightness values? Default values result in too dark or too bright screen.

Secondly what are safe values for speaker gain?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] myawan:
Anybody here?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gerbig:
There's a toggle in FKU for backlight dimmer. You can search the thread for backlight for more info. There are also apps that let you adjust it more directly.

Speaker gain goes from 0-20. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64715857&postcount=169

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dumbhorse:
Isn't that just a toggle for the brightness to dim or not before the screen turns off?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] myawan:
Yes that's just a toggle and I don't know what that does.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

Did you find any solution to adaptive brightness issue? I am also having hard time, brightness keeps on changing for no reason.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gerbig:
I believe that's the toggle to disable the non-stock dimming algorithm that Franco has on by default. He talks about it in the thread, that's why I suggested searching for backlight... I believe Franco considered the stock levels "too bright".

If you want custom levels then try Lux.

I'm not sure about brightness jumping around, mine doesn't do that.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] YongJ1e:
i just don't know, but it slowed my 5X down :( not sure how did others get better performance. i did get much better battery life, but performance was a huge compromise. almost constant stutters while scrolling, and geekbench multicore only gets 3100+ (singlecore about 800).

does this kernel have powersave set by default? so i need to buy the app to enable performance mode? or can i enable it just through kernel auditor?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
First, you can edit whatever you want with Kernel Auditor or franco app. (I highly recommend buying that.)

Second, benchmarks means nothing. Also i din't notice any performance differences comparing with stock kernel. Default settings are not for battery saving, it's balanced.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kryddan:
Is this kernel safe to use with Android N preview 3 :) ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] YongJ1e:

Not sure if y'all have seen this, but there's some new data on how thermal throttling works on this device: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/thermal-throttling-temp-performance-test-t3388559

It looks like keeping the big cores online for too long during throttling actually causes the little cores to throttle more quickly. And that keeping the A57s at 633 MHz rather than offline is not necessarily beneficial because the scheduler is not diverting any tasks to it. It actually goes around and hurts performance because the more rapidly throttled A53s then begin to choke on the tasks they are assigned.

It looks like the thermal limit should not be set higher than 49.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
What do you mean with "stops"? That's too vague.
