[KERNEL] [blu_spark r152] [Marshmallow 6.0.1 / Nougat 7.1.*]

[fr3quency]

There is no magic option to make device snappier, other than fast lane. You can choose the performance governor for both CPU and gpu, which will run all cores at max freq always, but you won't see much of a difference in speed, but will lose power. Not worth it. Go for default with fast lane

The performance governor is one of the worst. Having the phone run at max speed doesn't equal max performance. So from what I read here, I cannot do anything else. I could play with the values of the blu_spark governor but that's a pain in the behind.

Thanks a lot everyone for your replies.

Good afternoon everyone. I am running latest r118 on F2FS @ PureNexus. Battery is not a problem to me so I'm looking into making the Nexus 5 kind of snappier/faster.

I have played with Kernel Adiutor(latest version) but I believe I can do much more so I am asking for suggestions on what to add or even remove from my kernel setup:

1)Fastlane=1
2)GPU Governor: ondemand
3)Scheduler: ROW or FIOPS(I'm not sure which one to choose for speed as those two are my favourite ones xD)
4)Read-ahead: 1024kB (maybe I should increase the value to 2048?)
5)Entropy - Read: 1024 and Write: 2048 (Increasing the R/W values from 64 and 128(which are pretty low) I now have 70-80% available entropy)


These are my settings. Any recommendations? (like laptop mode=1 instead 0? But I don't know what those settings do.)


Thanks a lot for your time.

I have found that setting the scheduler to Deadline at 128 gives me the best performance. Pretty much everything else I leave at default except for GPU governor, which I also switch to ondemand. I leave Fastlane at 0 just to save a little battery but if I want a little more snappiness I'll set it to 1.

Itching to install r118.. but there's a problem I'll bring this back to life for blu_kernel and LOS soon.

Damn man, I felt the pain! The same happened with my Nexus 4. Sucks when it happens. Hope you can replace it or buy a new device. :C

Ouch, the pain!

Just finished, all original parts (screen assembly and back)

Now back to topic lol ??

Any profile for the last versión? (Battery life) I have DU 11.1

You can enable USB fastcharge and change vibration, but otherwise, just use the stock settings (i.e. don't change anything). I believe that you can just flash-and-forget with custom kernels and devs aren't trying to ruin your battery on purpose :victory:

I run this kernel with all four cores online at all times (even with screen off) and get decent battery life (only have to charge this phone once per day; SOT depends on what I am using my phone for on a certain day). Franco kernel works almost the same way.

Franco kernel works almost the same way.

Yeah, both are flashable through recovery and both boot up just fine on the device.
Apart from that the diferences are pretty obvious.
You should not make this kind of a statement on a kernel thread.
Not true and not polite.

Yeah, my fault. I should have been more specific and wasn't trying to suggest using one kernel over the other. But rather suggesting even trying setting all four cores online in a kernel app. And that this isn't a crazy idea

Can someone share what program use for manage my kernel ?? Thanks in advance

Will this work with lineage is 14.1

Read the OP. It works with Android 7.

Personally, when someone asks me any kernel for Nexus 5 I suggest them Blue Spark. Give a try to it in LineageOS. I think it will be supported

Yes it works, I'm currently using it, and it's giving me a really good battery life

Use Kernel Adiutor Mod. There's a thread here on XDA. It's based on the old interface, so it's not as pretty as the one available in the Play Store, but it supports more Kernel features than anything else available.

Can I use this kernel with resurrection remix 7.1.1 builds?

Hi all, been using Blu_spark with pure nexus 7.1.1 for 2 days, and battery is very bad not because of drain, but instead when screen is on, the frequency never goes down (always 17xx ~ 23xx Hz). Is there anyway to solve this? Stock settings
