Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r117 | M1

I've just found that for me (fast binned cpu) -100 UV seems to be a bit too much: stock camera freezes. But no reboot. -75 seems good.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r117 | M1

Well, I am on nominal CPU and UV -100 without problem since R97. And now I am on r117
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Foxnov1990:
That's propably because the nominal binned CPUs run at stock @ 900 - 1200 while fast & faster run stock @ 850 - 1150

It propably has nothing to do with what you said but I'm running Fast binned and -100 is a bit too excessive for me too

I dont think lag is the right word for what there feeling, i felt it also but i wouldn't call it a lag, more like just not as smooth /clean, the speed is there tho.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ngkongArm:
so.. a bit confuse, few pages before said 116 is better than 111, and now 111 is better than 117. does it mean 111 is better than 117? :confused:

which one is better from what you experienced? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] AshtonTS:
I would say 111 is the best so far

117 is more than ok for me

no lags whatsoever and a great battery time after a second day on it
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] QUIETLYloud:
you would be best served trying them for yourself(due to subjectivity)... I'd caution you to give it more time then some of the reviewers above I just don't think a couple of hours gives the kernel a chance to complete enough tasks to truly gauge performance
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dapsANDpoundz:
I'm on r111 and I really don't see what the hype was. I'm not getting any better performance or battery life than I was on some of the other versions. Maybe I'll give it a couple days. Typically if it sucks day one, I change versions. I'm gonna let this marinate a bit more.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Well if u have been running "nightlys" then your not going to notice big difference on 111, so what your saying makes sense, but u should notice small improvment over say M1.

Go for r117. It gets rid of proprietary mpdecision and has much greater room for improvement. Open source is the way to go :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bradm23:
From what I find r117 is snappier than r111, however I do get more stuttering than I did with r111. I personally went back to 111 for my taste. I am sure once Franco makes the hot plug options available in the user space we will come up with a bad ass combo that will blow mpdecision away, till then I'll rock 111
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Good morning, I'm back to USA. Feeling exhausted though.

I had like 10 pages to read through but I stopped reading when I read posts like "lag in XXX, back to YYY". 0 feedback to improve disgusts me.

Anyway I already finished the hotplug driver code to export the settings to userspace, just wrapping it up for release.

Thanks to whoever took the time to write detailed posts about the last releases since I included my custom hotplug driver, that is much appreciated.

Just pushed r118.

You can now tweak the hotplug driver settings: /sys/class/misc/mako_hotplug_control/

first_level -> load threshold to online all cores. Default is 90% system load.

second_level -> load threshold to online 1 core at a time. Default is 50% system load.

third_level -> load threshold to offline all cores. Default is 30% system load.

suspend_frequency -> the frequency you want the device to be capped with the screen off. Default is 702MHz. You can only use one of this frequencies: 384000 486000 594000 702000 1026000 1188000 1350000 1512000

This will eventually be added into the app for easy control.

This version will probably score less benchmarks be less warm as I increased the first_level threshold. Now you have all the control, tweak away and post your results so that I can further improve this driver.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Did you make any other changes to the hotplug routine aside from allowing us to control them?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheByteSmasher:
I haven't found that. Why can't the kernel control the LED being on or off of it can control overall color?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
Yeah but it happens even when I don't kill it, it automatically dies after doing some heavy gaming etc.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ibsonic:
I still seeing lags when I scroll in app like browser or tapatalk or instagram.. I tried to tweak it but it didn't worked.. I know a little lag doesn't matter but I really like smoothness of butter so I'm going 2 wait for interactive.. Going to try on demand with cfq now

Anyways, thanks Franco its a great kernel already. Would like to see a bit more smoothness instead of battery life..but that's me ^^

I've enabled "Fast USB charge" in the kernel settings, but is there a way to check what mA is being fed to my phone when charging via usb?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ManOnTheMoon:
Idk how much smoother this can get. It depends on the app AFAIK. I'd rather have amazing battery life. Which I am getting with this. I'm sure a lot of other people would agree granted there's no lag whatsoever
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Open dmesg and you'll see the logs.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dmorand:
Thanks I'll try that out.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ibsonic:
Franco can't I change the values using terminal..

echo "90" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold

echo "50000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate

The app changes it back when I change it trough your app.. Will that method work ?

This is quite cool. Great example of how open source works.

Same as with the battery calibration thing. I reckon myths like that will continue for ever, even when they are getting debunked by professionals.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ok, can you give me simple steps to reproduce what you're doing? If I can reproduce your problem I'll be able to fix it :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ibsonic:
Thanks mate..

using your app, changing governor to ondemand, and scheduler to cfq..Then trying to change the

sampling_down_factor to 4

sampling_rate to 50000

sampling_rate_min 10000

up_treshold 90

when i press "go back" and close your app, and restart it again the value of sampling_rate is not changed and still uses 10000.. the others were changed but im not sure if those really changed as well..

Actually im trying to use the stock settings of ondemand, want to try them out if it has to do with those values :) and try to tweak them one by one, till its smooth enough for me and a little more batteryfriendly.. 3 hours is enough for me.

EDIT:

I even dont need to close your app, close the activity by pressing back and intent again to go to that screen will set it back to 10000.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daern:
Yes, fine here. Stock + R17
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
Can you (or anyone else) try doing some heavy gaming and see if the app sustains color settings through screen on/off? This is a fresh setup and I can't see anything that would possibly kill it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jjcandroid2012:
Maybe internet speed is causing app lag i am under clocking to 1.2 and no lag at all with sync on. So i don't think its the kernel plus with apps so many things can cause it to slow down... Might want to research see if other people are having issues with the app or browser
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ibsonic:
I dont need to discuss this my fiend as i know it for sure.. tweaking a kernel will give you more juice instead of smoothness.. but it is logical. The nexus 4 stock kernel used like 1500 Mhz constantly caused by mpdecision. Not the best way to call that "project butter" anyways..

Im not a batteryfreak but more like a lagFREE freak. The tiniest lag will irritate me :cowboy: and no I dont want to use an Iphone..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] wreckone:
Stock rooted and r14 still provides the best performance (benchmarks). I've tried r15 and r17 but the performance is lower on stock rom :)

It has nothing to do with your app, manually changing it wont change it neither.. its like its being blocked to change it :D

sampling_rate is unchangeable

Is it me or r118 feels as smooth ad r111? Great job on 118 Franco!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Foxnov1990:
Was just gonna say the same. Can't tell about battery life yet but I'm gonna assume it's pretty good (time will tell ey ;))

About the phone, got a nice performance boost (standard settings) in 3Dmark (10179 to 10792). Not that that is the initial purpose of this kernel most likely but it's nice to see that's already better in that aspect comparing to r117.

Can also feel it's smoother than r117, not sure if it's placebo effect or not but I haven't seen stutters yet. (I know it's just released but I'd notice stutters right after flashing r117, by unlocking and scrolling initially)

*That said I salute you for your hard work, it's highly appreciated!*

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I ship with the settings I use. But giving users more power for setting stuff as they want and a lot of times they help me improving my own values as I cannot account for all the different usage patterns.

Now I plan to add a functionality to lock the device in 2 cores if it hits the thermal limit so that it cools down faster :) will it will be optional since some users don't like throttling.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gianton:
From the little I'm running r118, I find smoothness in UI unreal! Scrolling, opening apps, opening/closing drawer, typing etc is so smooth and really fast.

If battery life is as usual with Franco standards, r118 should be the M2!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I already explained that hundreds of times. Don't worry about that at all. It doesn't happen here because of a custom PowerHal which doesn't spam the logcat.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] .coomb.:
Franco, since you're here, I want to report once again (unfortunately) that I and other users are experiencing still the notification pulldown when trying to unlock the screen. It's very frequent on my side. As there doesn't seem to be a final configuration, and if I change the values, they get reset after a reboot, is there a chance you could be implementing something where we have the ability to choose between your custom touch configuration and Google's default one?

Oh, and one question: what's the default timer rate on r118?

Say I'm on a ROM and I tried a bunch of kernels, a few Franco versions, stock and others. Now I want to go back to Franco and make sure all the kernel settings start clean, out of the box. What is the proper way to do that? Simply flash Franco again? Any cleanup? e.g. flash stock kernel first, or dirty flash the ROM and then Franco? I want to make sure that I'm not inadvertently stuck with some settings that may have been defaults for other kernels but not for Franco. Thanks!

Followup question: when the time comes to update the ROM, flashing a new version of the ROM will wipe Franco, so I'd have to re-flash Franco. Any way to back up its settings? I know I can always write them down and I will just to make sure, but is there a way to backup all the kernel settings and restore them?
