In this case you probably don't need to do any change. Just enable low-power-mode with mcetool.... You will get the desired behaviour.

Once the lpm-screen shows up, a single tap or a swipe is enough to enable the desktop.

I use it with these settings:

Code:

devel-su zypper in mce-tools
mcetool --set-lpmui-triggering=from-pocket,hover-over
mcetool --set-low-power-mode=enabled

There is definitely some 'space' for improvement.

After boot I set the CPU governor to 'conservative' as root. That cuts power usage in idle state to less than half, looking at the powertop stats. Best I got with the new CM12 base is 141 mW, with some peaks. Definitely better than with default settings.

Code:

devel-su
echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

You're certainly right, I don't know the internal of the N5. But the screen is switched on only when the proximity sensor is triggered. That's the same behavior on the Jolla I guess. Proximity switches the screen on, then the touch layer is on too and you can double tap to wake up the phone.

The hybris-12.1-security branch of kernel will now at least boot sailfish. It will make your device extraordinarily slow however, so I don't yet recommend it. I was going to upload rpms, but it's so slow I don't think anyone would actually use it :P

i tested the cm12 based sfos version of TheRealJohnGate for several hours and i am impressed: everything seems to work well, video recording and bluetooth connection stability are both big arguments to switch to a cm12 base, i only miss sfdroid, ota updates is untested and battery life has to be observed for several days. thank you.

p.s. not sure about battery life and sensors in idle, can someone share his observations?

On my first tests I could trigger a high cpu usage again though that "high" usage was much lower than the 15-20% I got on cm11 base.
Here I got a 3-5% cpu usage if turning on the device shaking a little bit and turning it off again.
Still the same if the cpu usage is high and you press the power button to turn on the display the cpu usage will go down again.

In general though charged the device fully yesterday and after letting it sit during the night this morning it had 90 % Battery life still. So its an improvement at least for me.
Though not perfect yet.

I would be great to have working camera recording and Sfdroid on the N5. Does anyone has experince with enabling the LTE bands on a N5 D820 model? I want to know if the CM11 kernel supports DIAG mode and why windoze doesn't reconize the N5 COM port.

I've enabled three network lte in uk. Data works fine on both android and sailfish. People reporting hearing their echo during calls. I'm not sure it's related to lte hack. Anyone with same bug and possible solution?

On which kind of rom did you perform the 'hack'?
