I have tried 1512/1512 as max/min frequency, and it is not SUPER smooth. Did I mentioned it in the post?

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r115 | M1

Nothing to argue about with u because idc since i am able to make my phone run smooth enough not to have any lags. Min/max frequencies are not the only change one has to make in order to have super smooth device. Ask franco maybe he uploades a super smooth kernel just for you.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] persheshhater:

Sounds good. Give governor control settings a try and maybe you reach the smoothness you are looking for. If you mess with some of those values it might make a difference.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r115 | M1

I think r111 is a good candidate for M2 since the consensus agrees that the performance and battery life is excellent. I never thought I'd see this kind of battery life and performance using LTE on this phone, it's insanely good. Besides a couple of random reboot comments (I've never, ever had a random reboot on this phone and those are probably ROM related), I haven't seen any real issues.

Google's at heart a nerd's company (no offense meant at that word of course). Business has never been a strong point of Google, and I suspect for a long time, will not be. Just look how long it took Android to become pleasing to use (thanks to Matias Duarte).

On topic though, is there a reason you default to Deadline vs Noop? Personal preference, or is there something I don't know about the two governors that makes you choose it?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yep, true.

Noop is too simple, I don't feel it scales as well as deadline.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] whittikins:
Does Ondemand generally have better battery life than Interactive?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mikeyinid:
Depends on who's variation you use
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
No idea, all depends on your type of usage. If you play lots it doesnt matter what governor you use. If you just read text a less jumpy governor should make a difference between 4 hours reading and 6 hours reading.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ChongoDroid:
This. We'd tweak ondemand to scale more aggressively and in the end it only used 3 slots. Night and day battery life on sense builds especially.

Hehe remember the swarm of worried folks when you changed the min cpu to 700mhz on the gnex? Lol they're probably still asking to this day..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
OK, installed Build 4 and have done some Geekbench to compare.

Similar to the run with build 3 I post the best of 3 runs.

My observation is, that there is no real difference between build 3 and 4 in this area. Both have been between 20xx and 22xx.

But maybee there is an issue with deepsleep with build 4.

As you can see by my cpu spy screenshot, it don't hit's deepsleep.

Will let the phone now left unused for a longer time to see, if it will go to deepsleep later.

What is the normal timeout for deepsleep, i thought 10min ?

Maybee it would help in terms of battery to significantly shorten this timeout (to maybe 5 mins ?)

Or better, why there is anyway such a big time ? Wouldn't it make sense to bring the phone to deepsleep maybe after 30 sec of screenoff or something like that ?

is this timeout done by kernel or by Chipset ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] whittikins:
I see. I do a lot of reading (Tapatalk, Reddit Sync, Dolphin Browser), so an improvement for that would be great.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yeah they still ask sometimes, but I don't give a rats ass :)

Deep sleep kicks in as soon as you turn your screen off unless you have a wakelock being hold. Check your apps :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] vonapets:
This was my second full charge with test build 3. Not bad, 20 hours.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Hm, ok, will do that for sure, have installed betterbatterystats now.

But it would be confusing, because yesterday I have had deepsleep without problems and the only change since then is your build 4.

But anyway, I will check it.

[Edit]

Ok, maybee im only a complete Noob or gimp or what ever. After removing the usb cable it goes well to deepsleep^^

So don't mind, it was all about an absolute beginner error....:eek:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes it doesn't go to deep sleep with the usb charger. When its charging it needs to hold a wakelock so when you take the cable off the lock is released and it can go to sleep :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ChongoDroid:
On that note do you know if the Qualcomm S4 has something like smartreflex? Like when it goes into deep sleep does it UV dynamically?

Just trying to be relevant on my One X while my N4 ships :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Smartreflex doesn't work like that. It just calibrates the chip internals to use less voltage while maintaining the stability. Its just like doing UV with your favorite app, but it just does it by itself during boot.

I dunno if we can use AVS in here, but I remember thats what mach-msm arch used a while ago on msm7x30 and msm8x25 (if I remember correctly).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just got build 5 out. The only difference for build 4 is that I added the fsync toggle thingy:

Fsync:

echo 1 > /sys/module/sync/parameters/fsync_enabled - to enable

echo 0 > /sys/module/sync/parameters/fsync_enabled - to disable

If you disable fsync your data integrity will suffer, specially if theres a power cut, it might corrupt. In its counterpart it boosts IO performance by lots.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
No.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Romanbb:
I understand, but I was just trying to get my point across. Swiping them away is nearly not as bad as that, but you're probably causing more stress on your system (and thus using moar battery) when you close all of them. When they sit in your RAM in an idle state they don't really do anything. When you need the app, it loads much quicker, and when you don't use it for a while, Android will close the app on its own when it decides it's time.

Good analogy :) I guess in their way of thinking they feel the need to "X" out of a program (in this case, app) and not have it run in the background.

If you want colors, it must be running in the background. Simple as that. If the Franco granted root permissions bother you then disable SU notifications in the SU app.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Also for everyone to remember, as we're all using a variety of ROMs, is that a "soft" reboot is often ROM related (does a very quick reboot), while a "hard" reboot is often a kernel issue (full reboot as if you restarted the device). Franco can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I've read that from some good kernel devs. So you can also mention whether it's a hot or a full reboot if you're reporting an issue, then attach logs.

No reboots for me at all with stock settings on codefire's SR1 ROM (which is really nice). Cheers. :beer:

r115 interactive (default timer_rate=50000) 30-31

r116 interactive (default timer_rate=30000) 32-33 / 34-35

32-33 seems like just 2 average fps improvement but wow, not joking, there were loads of 4X momentary fps and i swear this feels buttery on that freaking busy road, than whatever r111mpdecision or r115. i expected 36-40 average but turn out it didnt, might because there were 2X momentary fps while doing 180degrees turnings.

after 5 minutes of testing i dont know what random magic happened and suddenly there were alot of 5X momentary FPS which pulled up the average, however the above results should be more reliable because after this i re-entered the game and collected 32-33 again.

NFS MW

(results collected at the end of the same race)

r115 interactive (default timer_rate=50000) 40,43 (two tests)

r116 interactive (default timer_rate=30000) 45, 45 (two tests)

nice, its back to where it should be.

(lol, do you see that 60 momentary fps)

while i have tested r116 with manually increased timer_rate 50000, GTA VC showed a result of 30-31 as before and gives be that non-buttery feeling. while in mpdecision, lowering timer_rate improved the freq of 2 cores in heavy games. now lowering timer_rate improves the freq of 4 cores in heavy games. of course with other optimizations that i dont notice, it finally result in that significant improvement.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
I must say it is much much better with r116, even better than r111. I like the fact that when I am in a game (high load) all the cores go online, then keep in min freq. When you were to "online" the core, you ramp up the freq.

Very nice job Franco.:good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MWBehr:
I obviously haven't been on 116 very long, but my initial impression is that it drops to 1 core quicker when idle, doesn't seem to add cores needlessly like mpdecision did, and runs 4 cores when it needs to.

Overall I expect it should give some battery and performance improvements. Nice work ;)

I'm having two problems. First, the app force stops every time I try to download a kernel, both stable and nightly and both zip and auto-flash... Nevermind, I downloaded the latest stable version of the kernel from this topic and installed it myself.

The second problem I have is that I don't know what the free version is supposed to let you modify about the kernel, looks like the answer is nothing, which would be fine with me, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Also, let me tell you this, or else I'll look like a douche, I chose the free version because I just wanted support for the swipe2wake app, I would happily spend a few bucks on the paid version, but as for know I think I don't need all the fancy features.
