PhantomGamers · Nov 22, 2013

Hey guys, this is just a version of @franciscofranco's kernel built with DoubleTap2Wake and Sweep2Wake from Bricked Kernel merged in.

(By downloading and installing the kernel you assume all responsibility for any damage to your device, but I don't post images with the intention of this occurrence and test them to the best of my abilities.)

I do accept and appreciate any donations but I urge you to first donate to the amazing developers listed above for their work because my contributions are minimal and without them this kernel variant would not exist.

Hi all.

Currently does not work with recent CyanogenMod nightlies or any rom has uses CM sources as a base because they made underlying changes that are now incompatible with Kernels that don't follow their path.

Installation:

Slight OT is fine, but when users decide to act stupid they should be dealt with with the appropriate means - its really annoying for me when OT turns crazy. Please put the warning/ban hammer anytime any of you think there's lack of respect and/or too much unwanted OT crap - but if it doesn't meet this criteria let the OT posts alone. Thank you.

Cheers!

Kernel Settings

Disabled by default. To enable execute the code next to terminal in adb shell or terminal emulator as root.
If you wish for it to be automatically enabled on boot you can create the file named in the boot section.
After creating this file you can still execute the terminal code to enable it immediately or you can just reboot and have the kernel enable it for you.

[DT2W/S2W]

S2W
terminal -

Code:

echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake

boot - Create /sdcard/fkSettings/fks2w

DT2W
terminal -

Code:

echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

boot - Create /sdcard/fkSettings/fkdt2w

Bottom Half Screen DT2W (Only allows you to double tap bottom half to turn screen on, instead of above.)
terminal -

Code:

echo 2 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

boot - Create /sdcard/fkSettings/fkdt2wps

S2Sleep
terminal -

Code:

echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/s2w_s2s

boot - Create /sdcard/fkSettings/fks2s

PWRKEY_SUSPEND (Turns off touch to wake when display is turned off with power button, reenables when turned on, useful for long idle periods, unaffected by sweep to sleep)
terminal -

Code:

echo 1 > /sys/module/qpnp_power_on/parameters/pwrkey_suspend

boot - Create /sdcard/fkSettings/fkpwrks

Touch Wake Timeout
terminal -

Code:

echo 15 > /sys/android_touch/wake_timeout

(15 is an example, include the number of minutes you prefer)
boot - Create /sdcard/fkSettings/fkwt with number of minutes to delay timeout (IE: text file with "15" inside)

[COLOR]
*This tweak is experimental and you use it at your own risk.
**Breaks gamma calibration apps.

terminal -

Code:

echo 1 > /sys/module/mdss_dsi/parameters/color_preset

boot - Create /sdcard/fkSettings/fkcolor

just giving my 2 cents, franco's kernel intention is to deliver a stable, optimized and battery efficient kernel for the n5, by baking in these S2W/DT2W features into the kernel, aren't you defeating the purpose? If I would want those features built in, I could have flashed Elementalx, Bricked etc. No offense but that's what occur to me, to others, it may be godsend. :good:

Elementalx and Bricked don't have Franco's custom hotplug driver, personally that's the main selling point of his kernel to me.
I don't particularly care for these features anyway though and just used this as a learning experience to build kernels.
(I am currently running this build though to play around with it, haven't noticed a huge difference in battery life myself)

I am used to flashing zips, I guess I am not advanced enough to flash img files. Can I get more detailed instructions on how to flash this?

tyrellcorpnexus · Nov 22, 2013

This is very tempting to try out.

Thank you!

Flashify seems like it'd do the trick, if original Franco kernels are any indication.

grumphy · Nov 22, 2013

Well, I tried it, and it works!
Thanks OP!

Tip: if u have FKU, put the img in the franco.kernel_updater bkp folder and restore if it were bkp. Most easy!

Yeah Flashify seems like your best bet if you're rooted.
I might try and include zip releases in the future, sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Nastybutler · Nov 22, 2013

Thanks for doing this. Will you be updateing this to keep up with Franco's releases, or was this a one time experiment?

Yeah that's my plan, I'll most likely keep this going until franco includes his own DT2W feature or unless I run into some technically difficulty.

Nastybutler · Nov 22, 2013

Welp. I'm having trouble getting the dt2w working. Here's what I'm entering in terminal emulator (after "su" of course) without the quotation marks: "echo 1> /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake"

Nothing happens in the terminal after I hit enter, it just goes to a new command line, and if I turn the screen off it won't wake back up with a double tap. Did I enter the command in wrong?

The space between the 1 and the > is essential.

Eureka! That was my problem. Thanks! Works a treat.

tyrellcorpnexus · Nov 22, 2013

Gonna give this a whirl

edit: works great thanks so much! for subsequent kernels you release, will one have to put in that command every time?

Also so glad you carried over francos screen calibration too! you rule! And so glad you'll be supporting until (if) franco implements it.

What are you guys doing to put the device to sleep without hitting that button? I'd like to do without it all together

Currently you need to do it every time you reboot but you can put a file in /etc/init.d to do it automatically.

tyrellcorpnexus said:

Yeah it's essentially a straight franco build so anything he implements will be included as long as he pushes it to github

This isn't currently a feature of the kernel but I do agree that doubletap2screenoff and sweep2screenoff would be really neat.
I'm going to TRY to implement this myself but I wouldn't hold my breath because I'm not really experienced with this level of coding.

I see I see. Thanks again! Hitting that button one time to go to sleep is better than waking every time as well that is for sure!

I'm used to putting my device to sleep with a gesture on Activator with my JB'en iPhone 5. But I still have to wake it using home or lock button so I guess its still needed on that as well..

I don't think double tap to sleep would be the best, what about when getting text to fit the screen on Chrome and such? Double tap is a relatively common gesture once the device is awake.

Also, any way you can walk me through how to make sure it automatically kicks in on a reboot?

This is too good

I have the LMT Pie controls and one of buttons on my second row is a key that turns the screen off. So now, in theory, I'll hardly ever have to use the power button. :good:

Would you be kind enough to walk noobs like me through how to set up that file? Right now I've got a note saved with the command that I copy & paste into the terminal each time now, but I can tell that's going to get old pretty quick.

Do you have a link to the APK and maybe a screenshot of what it looks like? I'd only be interested in this toggle.

I meant like the G2 does it, where it's only when you double tap on the notification or nav bar in certain apps etc

Trying to figure this out now, it would appear that the kernel doesn't actually have init.d support as my script isn't working... maybe I'm doing something wrong here.

Ah, in that case, that'd be awesome!

No worries, appreciate your work thus far.

This is so great :highfive:
