How bout, Franco kernel enhancer. Or Franco.swiss army knife. But I'm cool keeping it the way it is too. Just thinking out loud.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Does the franco app need to be always running now? I guess i never noticed it in the running services but it shows that a "BatteryService" is running. Just wondering what it is and if its needed? Thanks loving the new look and enjoying RC2!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kelah:
I don't think it's possible to found capacitance. I even can't found any info about power consuming, all I could find is about 5W on max load.

But to compare you don't need capacitance, it's constant anyway.

4x384 will be more effiective than 1x1512.

1512*1.15^2*const = 2000const

4x384*.85^2*const = 1110const

Also we need to consider some constant(?) that describe cpu power consuming by not cores - memory controller, usb and etc. So I don't think difference would be this drastic.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] realfelix:
l know that for desktop CPUs its easy to find out what consumes more battery, but look at it like this, correct me if im wrong though:

1 Core at 1512 MHz would need more time at the high frequency(requiring high voltage) to work on a thread, than 2 cores.

So if 4 Cores at 384Mhz or even 1026MHz are online, its easier for the device to work and complete a task, which consumes less power. Thats why a Pentium III CPU with ~3,0GHz consumes more power, than a i7 at 3,0GHz. Depends on CPU architecture aswell I know but I think its the same for mobile chips.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I have other plans for the Device Monitor, just need time to implement it!

That BatterService is a broadcast Intent from the Battery Monitor in the System Monitor part of the app. If you go there you'll see a prediction system that helps you know how many hours will your device last on your battery. It wastes 0 battery because it doesn't hold a wakelock, so don't worry.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Thats a good point about it being constant. As for the other factors, they aren't relevant to the discusion of what clock speed/core numbers would be best. I did email them about the capacitance but I suppose it's not important.. Interesting to note then that it would in fact be better to have all four running. Of course this is at minimum speed, and the problem is that the UI is not multithreaded in Android so having 4 wouldn't work as smoothly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kelah:
You forgot that P3 using 130nm process and i7 32-22nm.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Of course the system is multi-threaded. What do you think is taking care of the UI thread and all the other threads running in the background? Thats Android multi-threading.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
In theory one core at 1512 mhz would take same time as two at 756 mhz (i know that's not the same speed but just for reference) for 2 threads however one core at 1512 mhz would finish a single thread in twice the speed than two cores at 756 mhz.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] italia0101:
So I've been using 4 cores online today . with 1.18ghz max frequency for my normal use

2-3 hours on 3g . rest on WiFi. No games . all syncs on twitter ,Facebook , Google now etc .... 40 + gmails , whatsapp and a few YouTube vids

For me this is about the same stats I see when I don't have all cores online in terms of battery ... Performs better though imo in the ui at least

Up time - 13 hours 34 mins

Sot. -4 hours 16mins 23sec

% left. - 7

Very good performance for normal use , never had any lags in transitions or anything . so smooth . now I haven't tried games , but you probably will see a hit ( not sure how large) due to the max freq being 1.18ghz

They are relevant. When you running four cores instead of one you also running four voltage converters instead of one. And other things like this, dunno what else there is. Plus your point about 1x1512 does not equivalent to 2x756 is valid.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Well okay I didn't mean it that extremely but for like just the UI, it wouldn't be smooth on 4 cores running at 384mhz right? I guess I could try it myself actually..

But the point was ideally one core at 1512 mhz would run better than 2 at 700 unless it was perfectly optimized for multi threading. I understand obviously background stuff takes more threads but not so many that 4 cores at 386 would be better than 1 and 1512

THink about all the new users trying to find franco's application..and can't cause it has no franco kernel on the name!!! ;) Franco just leave the app as it is...is good for what needs to do...if you want to implement more thinks do...but don't just make unnecessary thinks just to change something!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
The Play Store is also searching the app's description. Add "Franco" and "kernel" there and problem solved. I've got no opinion on the matter – I don't mind keeping the same name or changing it to something else, but I do agree that it may gain more popularity from having a better name.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks for all the name suggestions. I'm not sure its the right time for a rebranding, but I'll definitely think about it.

Oh and Milestone 2 is out. Only one difference from rc2, I fixed one of the ROW tunables with the correct value thanks to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION], the resto is the same as rc2. This stable version is a great accomplishment in my opinion, thanks everybody that contributed with something. I have great plans for the next nightlies, but don't expect something outstandingly new so soon, maybe in a week or so :)

Milestone 2:

Improvements from Milestone 1:

* New Hotplug driver, completely customizable on the userspace. Better gaming experience while retaining a good battery/performance ratio

* Interactive tunables automatically scale based on the system load to improve battery while the load is low, and performance when the load is high

* ROW I/O scheduler updated to its latest version and hardcoded with magic values by the usual suspects

* Sound Control driver is improved

* Better touch responsiveness

* Lots of other small improvements and enhancements

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'm getting a lot of this lately. The thing is its not my fault everybody decided to follow me and create "kernel apps", and its not my fault someone decided to make one of those apps Free. None of the existing kernel apps offer such deep integration with the kernel, no other apps offer UI's following Google UI guidelines. I don't just throw senseless options to the app just because.

Sure some of the options that I offer could be better, but thats how software works. I will have more free time soon and I have great plans for it. Nevertheless, $4,99 is nothing, most of the people pay that much for a bloody Starbucks coffee and after the bottle is empty you won't ever make use of those 5 bucks again. Here you purchase something that is proved to work, that helps you and you can use it and re-use it again forever. And if you buy the next Nexus the app will continue to work and you don't need to waste another dime on it. How better can this be?

And in the end if you want to tinker with the kernel without paying for an app you can always download my Free version, auto-update my kernels and still can tinker with everything using shell scripts which I'm always happy so share the paths to when asked. :good:

Just flashed Franco r19 from stock and my first impression? SMOOOOOOOTH. The reason why I flashed this is because I wanted N4 to have min freq of 340 instead of 1000 to save battery but I've gotten much more! Of course, this is my 1hr-2hr experience so no battery report yet, but I gotta say, you've been amazing back with Galaxy Nexus and you're amazing with N4!

I honestly thought the paid app was just to update it and I almost didn't even click on it to see what it was about, based on the name.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pawan1993:
Franco man the respect you have in this community doesn't just come from making awesome products. Love the way you communicate with your users too. By buying the app I don't just support the app you made but also support the kernels too. I think if people saw it as a way of supporting your work overall and not just an app because the app and kernel do go together, then they would be a lot more appreciative of the good work you put in. Really do have quite a bit of respect for you :) The fact that people do buy the device you dev on just to use your kernels says a lot.

For the people who said he drops support for other phones quite easily he has always said that he wants to dev on only the Nexus line of devices and anyway he's doing this for free. Don't get how people can complain about things that are free.
