Franco = different vibration?

Well I flashed Franco kernel tonight and it gave me a different vibration.. And now the vibrator is pretty strong now... Is this a normal thing for flashing new kernals?

Yeah I noticed that too, there is a setting if you download the Franco app from the play store, turn the vibration down to 70%.

Oh thank yesus I thought I did something wrong! Hopefully Franco will save my battery -.-

I use the paid version since I've used this kernel on my Nexus 7. I would think it would also be in the free one though.

Franco increased the strength of the vibration in his kernel from the stock of 65 to 100.

Thanks, I was confused by this too. Does anyone know, does it make much difference to the battery?

Yes it makes quite a bit of difference. Keeping that setting unchecked saves battery

Does the pulse light work now?

Or is it a bug with the latest update

Mine works. Whenever I get a message, email, facebook notification, etc...
Did you enable it? Settings > Display > Pulse Notification Light
The only thing I miss from my S3 is that the Nexus 5 will not light up when plugged into the charger. Red for charging, green for done.

Use Ledblinker app and you can add those functions in as well as choose colours for any app notification

it can be normal, hows your data connection quality? which data signal do you use/catch?

Yes, that may be it. The browser keeps locking your location to provide you the best results based on your location... Disable it and see if it helps :good:

Do i have to disable location completely (on battery saving now) or can i disable just dolphin from using it? I tried looking through dolphins settings but couldn't see anything regarding location. I also have wakelocks by the name of audiomix and nlp but going through the forum i see a few people have this so maybe its just a kitkat issue or maybe its normal

Just Google for Franco's Per App Mode app and reduce the hardware resources available to dolphin browser.

Ok so since changing the location settings to battery saving its finally back to normal although i cant figure out how to completely deny the browser location

I have the fku app with per app but tbh i dont want to underclock the browser as the faster the better but it would be pretty cool to disable mpdecision and use intelliplug only on dolphin, dont think this is possible though

No I'm on Cataclysm rom and it's built into the menu on it. But my missus uses one of the app ops apps from the play store on cm11 (4.4.2) on her phone. I can let you know later when she's home if you want. But I assume any should work
Edit - trickster mod (free) has it built in and it definitely works

I've got trickster mod free but just went through it all and no option for app ops

Npl wakelock is a common one caused by having your location on high accuracy, or a rouge app that's playing up such as the browser could be scanning for your location every 10 seconds etc, thus creating a partial wakelock, audiomix sounds like something to do with audio output

I turned off location on chrome and dolphin using app ops root and the nlp wakelock doesn't seem to be on as much now, one thing though since turning off location access on dolphin it seems to be using more power than the screen again whats up with that?

Your right. On the N5 it doesn't show as an option! Weird! Just try another from the play store?

Have you got any sync settings switched on in the browser that may be causing battery drain? Thats all I can think of would cause the browser to use more than the screen.
