Franco Pre-r1 testing battery results from a one day period, was at home on wifi all day. 7h 22m 40s @ 2% using very similar settings that I used on the OnePlus One (vt_quad)

Edit:

Battery should be better since more changes were made to the kernel compared to the pre-r1 build I was using.

Hi, the 1st image shows 5.0.2 lollipop?! How did you get that please?

does this kernel work on all phones, sprint att and such with stock roms or do i need a custom rom?
also, i am used to flashing roms and kernels on galaxy phones, so this is new to me. Is it the same process? Get into TWRP and install the zip? Or do i need to do a complete wipe? If i want to return back to stock for any reason, what will I have to then? Basically, im concerned with erasing my data.

Thanks

Why are you using the old app? Update it. It's been out for a week now.

Update to a custom rom that uses 5.0.2.

The kernel is universal, works for everything. Just flash the zip

same process, boot into twrp and flash the kernel and then reboot.

It's as simple as that. If you want to return to stock then flash stock kernel zip, it's simple.

For those of us running LS your home and multitasking buttons will disappear. You can use pie controls to counter this. Also your lock screen won't work it will just shown your home screen when you dt2w or press the power to wake the device. I don't use a lock code so this is what happens to me. I love Franco's kernels after using them on my Nexus 7 and I can't wait to use this one once the issues are fixed.

Franco kernel updater. It's the app that companions the kernel which let's you update the kernel with a click of a button as well as tweak settings of the kernel and change colors and have profiles etc.

It's 30 percent off right now. Is it worth buying? Of course, it's on sale and still holiday season.

You can flash the kernel with on click via the app. Its painless and awesome. If you haven't used the app before check out the options there are even ones to save previous kernels and per app settings. The app is worth every penny.

thats nice to know, to bad i didnt make a backup of the original kernel. oh well.
another question. I selected the power saving mode, restarted the phone, and it wasnt highlighted anymore. Do i have to select one of the modes every time i reboot? Which mode is automatically selected after each reboot?

It should automatically apply, I haven't used Franco's kernel in a while since I sold my Nexus 7 (2013) a few months ago. A lot has changed in the app since then. I would try some things and see what happens.

It's obvious that you're pirating the app because the app isn't even called FKUBeta anymore. Buy the application and then your problems with the application will go away.

Also, stop saying ??? It adds nothing to the conversation

Okay thank you very much

I don't mean to be rude or anything but yeah. Piracy isn't something we endorse on xda, it's a app that was well thought out in terms of design and is updated quite frequently. Plus it's on sale!

You won't regret buying it for the convenience of flashing newer versions of the kernel.
