I will install on my dark ROM but dirty flash. Is procedure to clean cache & dalvik, install ROM, install Magisk then the FK? Thanks! I don't want to have bootloop at this point

Hello,
FYI: latest two releases of this kernel break EDS encryption app. It force closes immediately after opening. Going back to prior version.

It says Oreo, I downloaded it from your 8 folder, but it doesn't appear to work alas. Just dumps me back at the bootloader each time. Easily remedied though with a backup though.

It should work unless the rom your using made changes that need some kind of Kernel support? Dunno really. What I tested worked fine.

You don't need to wipe caches.

Yes I do need to wipe dalvik & cache because I will dirty flash ROM first. Then install Magisk & kernel or whichever comes first? Thanks Dev. I miss using your superb kernel.

Just realized how gigantic this thread really is. This device was absurdely popular and I'm so glad to have been through this journey with you all!
This is a really sucesfull project. It will always be!

Its all your fault Master Franco.

You havee created a legion of crazy fans.?

The franco.kernel church folowers...?

Wiping those caches is useless for what you're doing.

Lost network on dark rom with the kernel franco r112

FK doesn't touch the network, and with 2353458943754305938 users not once being such thing reported you're probably just using some weird ass rom, either outdated or some crazy ass ****! :(
 
Thanks!

Thanks for this kernel! After broken LG G3 this is my "new" phone. This kernel is one of things why I choose N5.

How i can set 75mV globally ?

How i can turn CPU input boost off ?

I wouldn't suggest applying the same -75mv UV values until you are sure your Nexus 5 CPU can handle it, this can be done by gradually increase the undervolt value by -5mv over a 12-24hr period until the set value can be determined as stable. -25mv should be an ok starting point but obviously there are no guarantees.

NOTE!! Making sure the UV set-on-boot toggle is disabled within FKMU until the set UV values can be deemed stable, if not you could be setting yourself up for a continuous loop of bootloops everytime the UV values are reapplied after every reboot.

Not all CPUs are created equally as the SoC silicon is rated on a scale of 1~5(slow-nominal-fast-faster-fastest), this 'bin rating' determines the grade quality and performance of the chipset and will also determine what the stock voltage table values will be set to.

For example a CPU with a binning level of 2 will have different base voltage table values compared to a CPU with a binning level of 5.
Even then, when comparing two CPUs with the same binning level as they may have the same stock voltage table values may not be able to handle the same undervolt value changes and doing so could causing erratic performance, bootloops or other issues.

You can determine the CPU bin level by using the following terminal command.

su
dmesg | grep PVS


Undervolting will return very little if anything in regards to battery savings, at most it will only slightly decrease the temperature output of the chipset and this may not even be detectable.
Imho.. It maybe better to just leave the stock voltage values intacted, as undervolting can have a greater possibility of erection performance comparing to what will be minimal in any performance gains.

Is this normal? I set the max frequency to 2265 MHz but it always reverts to 1497 MHz. I couldn't find someone who has the same problem on Nougat on this thread. Or is it a feature?

    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

    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 :)
