[KERNEL][N5] FrancoKernel - r115 - 2nd November - Stock & Oreo

[RobbieL811]

Basically it's the changes on the video stack (mdss) and IOMMU stack because both require userspace work.

Thanks. Just trying to learn a few things.

Just noticed with the test kernel I am getting SoD. Phone rebooted and went to Dalvik instead of ART. Was running fine on r55.

Guys, I am using this kernel on top of PA and USB OTG isn't working.

Coincidence, Kernel doesn't change your runtime, besides it doesn't know a single **** about what is the runtime compiler.

For the 1000th time, use StickyMount and SuperSu.

Sorry for getting on ur nerves there. Its just that I already tried stick mount and it didn't work, I'll try it again though.

Not getting on my nerves at all. Use SuperSu, it doesn't work with superuser.

Yeah, I don't believe the switch from ART to Dalvik has anything to do with your kernel. I figured more so because of the SoD, then when it booted, it rebooted again and "Android is Upgrading".

Flashed r55 and changed to ART, and all is beautiful again.

15% left. 22h exact on battery. 4h 58m screen on time. Estimating would've got almost another hour more if I didn't have to max brightness on 1 show I watched.
Overnight 6 hours lost me 0-1% life.
Good stuff

I've had an issue with test r56 and Xposed...if I try to reinstall (and I've used both classic and the recovery zip installation methods) the framework, my phone almost immediately spontaneously reboots and then when it finishes loading everything and granting root permissions, it reboots again and again...reverting the kernel to either the earlier (non-L) r56 or the release r55 doesn't stop the reboots, only either going back to the stock image or uninstalling Xposed stops them.

Xposed is 100% framework, has nothing to do with the Kernel.

Screen off idle power usage doesn't change between Kernel changes, I've said this countless times... either you have too many wakelocks from your apps or you don't... What changes is screen on drain.

I'm confused, do you mean just within your kernel or in general?

(Anecdote) Screen off idle time was one of the first things that for me hooked on your kernel. At home, on WiFi, I was dropping 20%+ while sleeping on stock whereas with your kernel it's 5% or so. (/Anecdote)

In general.

That was because when the Nexus 5 was launched they had a bug on the Wi-Fi drivers that frakked the battery life. Before they launched 4.4.2 I merged a couple patches from kernel_common (base Kernel tree from Android) that fixed it

You have a wakelock problem for sure.

Same thing happened to me, was on ART, phone crashed and rebooted on Dalvik.
I see that you're also using PA, that might be the issue.

For me, changing to Dalvik and doing a more conservative UV (-50 instead of -75) than what I had in R55 got me through the day without a crash. Will try again on ART with the same stable UV to see if I can isolate the source of my reboots.

Hello, I just got a random reboot. Sorry, my internet is so slow, so I can't upload it on pastebin. Also I have a little undervolting but it was always stable. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kxw74j25y5ad7oj/last_kmsg

Ah right. I'm undervolted a fair bit. However r55 and ART with my UV runs well. May go back to stock voltages.

Go back to stock and then UV bit by bit until you find how low you can go while being stable. For me it's between -60 and -50. My previous -75 UV that worked fine with R53,54 & 55 is not stable in R56 with my configuration. Also, just changed to ART, will run a couple cycles to see if it any problems arise

 

[Damian2013]

Rooted apps as is aren't safe on L. I was sent into a bootloop for loading up Greenify and granting it root.

And for good reason, too. There's many bugs that can only be squashed by Google right now, people stating that L is stable clearly haven't played around with it enough.

Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.

I've been on it since day 1 and no issues for me so don't count everyone in that statistic.

My voltages have been fine on all previous versions with ART except r56 test. So I guess it is voltages.

Only issue I found was Facebook comments being transparent and my carrier widget being transparent. It was solid otherwise.

Sorry for going OT.
