I just tested it, with 200MHz Beach Buggy is unplayable, lags everywhere. As soon as I change to 450MHz (values changed with FKU) the game is playable again. Current GPU clock is exported here: /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk
And.. How to do that ? Echo in terminal emulator doesn't work :/
Sorry for the noob question, I have no idea.. And I don't know how to search 'how to do that'..

Anyone else facing this 'possible issue' ?

Better benchmarks by far compared to Art. Snappier experience (Stock ROM) with Franco kernel r25 combination, improved battery life ;)

Honestly.. OK, I dont really know. I though that it could be used in such cases, to 'extract' a value from 'a file'. I can understand things but I must admit I haven't search yet a good tutorial on such things.

Its ok nobody was born knowing everything, I can help out if you explain what you want exactly :)
After checking with Qualcomm's app (I was looking for it anyways !. Thanks Kaydin :) ) the frequency actually changes.. Sorry for the false alert, but still I dont understand bench results (even if score droped to 8000 in normal score when benchmarking with graph overlay from Qualcomm app) So.. Yeah I would Still like to know how to 'extract' the GPU freq from the file you pointed me before. :)

Thank for your help

Can you attach that apk please? I don't want to register to download it.

To read the file just do
cat file_path

R25 Battery Results

This is my experience with R25, totally awesome. Sure I've been able to do 5+ sot, but at almost 36h of on time I'm super happy with 4h 34m of sot. :good: :good:
This phone totally gets me through a full day, not very often do I need to charge during the day.

The time where it wasn't connected to mobile was when I was a sleep/waking up. I get pretty poor reception where I live, so I disable it only until I need it mostly, It doesn't bother me.

All stock settings from Franco, except uv 300Mhz to 620mV and the rest -80mV
And all third party apps greenified.

Dalvik , Better bench mark scores besides that nothing that can be really noticed .... bionic is definitely noticed for speed and smoothness . but ART still blows them away on my phones ( real use not stupid benchmarks ) . if u youtube it there's videos battling the bunch . I also have 2 N5's that I've compared side by side and that's what my results were .

What are the benefits of tuning the kernel with these settings, better battery is it snappier? Is this mainly tuned for gaming? Cheers

Its better optimized for battery and performance from what my experience has been. I've seen 4-5 hours of SOT

    Hi all.

    Compatibility:
    It should work on any rom by following this logic:
    Builds (starting with r65) are Android 5.0 Lollipop only.
    Builds (starting with r72) are Android 5.1 Lollipop only.
    Builds (starting with r76) are Android 6.0 Marshmallow only.
    Builds (starting with r97) are also compatible with Android 7.0 Nougat and Android 7.1 Nougat .
    Builds (starting with r114) are also compatible with Android 8.1.0 Oreo.

    This does not work with "CAF" roms.

    Download:
    https://francokernel.app

    Installation:
    Flash the zip in your recovery
    or
    Auto-flash from Franco Kernel Updater app

    Features:
    1 - Legendary battery life
    2 - Flash & forget
    3 - Typical interfaces like display adjustments, sound control, vibration control, and all that boring stuff
    4 - Idle power consumption reduced to the absolute minimum (if you have wakelocks from 3rd party apps you're obviously on your own)
    5 - Support for FKUpdater's Performance Profiles
    6 - Magical support, I'm here every day, checking posts almost hourly, ready to help anytime (well, unless you fail to read the OP, which contains most info you need)
    7 - Seemless integration with my app FKUpdater
    8 - No crap placebo patches, or "magical" optimizations
    9 - Probably more, check my github for all the details - the code speaks for itself

    Changelog:

    Scroll down, choose your device & select the latest release to see the changelog.

    Disclaimer to moderators:
    Slight OT is fine, but when users decide to act stupid they should be dealt with with the appropriate means - its really annoying for me when OT turns crazy. Please put the warning/ban hammer anytime any of you think there's lack of respect and/or too much unwanted OT crap - but if it doesn't meet this criteria let the OT posts alone. Thank you.

    Cheers!

    r33 is pushed! Thanks for all the tests during this last 5-6 weeks. Before you ask yes this build is newer than the last r33-test. Most of you that followed the changes know basically what changed, so this is a generic changelog:

    * FK does not work with CM or derivates anymore so don't flash if you're in one of those roms. Also make sure you're not undervolting too much, this new build might be a little extra nervous regarding low voltages
    * This is a huge release with more than 1 month of consecutive testing. It contains probably more than 250 new commits which include a lot of patches from Codeaurora with fixes, performance improvements and battery improvements. Subsystems like cpufreq, audio, video, display, thermal, power management etc have been improved. For a complete list of changes please visit my github repository
    * My hotplug driver has been improved as in having a complete new set of tunables for advanced users. Visit my repository for the documentation of each tunable

    Enjoy!

    I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, lots of food, kisses, hugs, and quality time.

    From my part thanks a lot for the great 2 months since the N5 was released, that, for me, is a great gift, thank you all.

    Pushed r37 with exciting features:

    * Misc patches with small fixes
    * Remove duplicated GPU frequencies
    * Add minimum backlight tunable /sys/module/parameters/lm3630_bl/min_brightness
    * Add RGB display calibration /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal
    * Merged some memory routine optimizations from Motorola

    Cool stuff :)
