Nexus 5, autonomy and improve yield of the screen with the Franco ... - International Business Times Italy

Nexus 5 is a smartphone that thanks to the work of the Xda community is reaching a level of optimization definitely good. In our previous article we have proposed a solution to increase the audio output from the speaker is the one that the headphone-HERE driving.

In this article we will see how it install a Custom Kernel . What is a kernel? The kernel is the part of software that is directly in contact with the hardware . The kernel is the piece of code that allows the device to propel itself and function properly. The kernel is the core of the operating system and provides all the basic functions of such a system needs: main memory management, resource management, hardware and peripherals. The kernel is also responsible for managing the clock frequency of the processor, the speed of memory access and priority of such access, the supply voltage of the processor. Changing the values ??that manage these settings you can go to affect performance and autonomy.

We will

below to see a simple process that allows you to change kernel , whether you are using a file . img or a. zip archive. The following guide has been tested on a Nexus 5 32 GB. The procedure to install a custom kernel are different: one is to use the command prompt windows having sdk installed and another uses the toolkit WugFresh, a procedure using the program for the play store flashify root user, and finally, the last one, involves the installation of the kernel recovery changed.

PREREQUISITES. ‘must have got root permissions, unlocked bootloader and install a modified recovery: Here the guide on how to get them. P rhyme to proceed it is good to make a backup of your phone with Nandroid.

INTRODUCTION. As always in these cases, a clarification is in order: the case of proceedings unofficial Google you will go will void the warranty. It ‘also true that for the service warranty will be enough riprinare the stock firmware. Among all the methods that can be chosen to complete the installation of the modified kernel, the one that involves the use of Flashify (for Root Users) and are modified by the recovery the most simple and immediate, so we will deal with these two procedures.

USE OF FLASHIFY

STEP 1 . Download and install Flashify (for Root Users) from the Play Store.

STEP 2. S upload the file. img chosen kernel, copy it to the device and launch the application.

STEP 3 . via the Menu application allow you to flash the boot image, allowing you to select the folder of the sdcard where it was previously saved. When you open the program you can see that the app allows both the flah file. Recovery img for both the flash. Zip file. Another very useful feature is the ability to do before operation of the flash, make a backup of the stock kernel and restore it in case of need.

Once the application is open press on flash boot image or zip file (depending on the type of file that you downloaded), then select the folder where you downloaded the file and start the flash. The process takes a few seconds, then the program will prompt you to restart your smartphone.

USE OF RECOVERY

Into It ‘obviously need to have installed a modified recovery (TWRP Cmw or is indifferent).
recovery only allows the installation of. zip file, so it must be downloaded the release. kernel zip. Then you restart your phone into recovery and choose the file to install. The final step involves only a reboot of the phone.

CHOICE OF KERNEL

Into Among all the available kernels definitely the Franco Kernel is the best in terms of performance and autonomy. We installed it on a nexus 5 and the range is increased compared to the stock kernel. We also recorded a better color rendering especially in dark colors. For these reasons we recommend the installation of the Franco Kernel, however, are also available for other kernels, so the choice of one rather than another depends on your needs and expectations.
