Hey that is impressive battery time! Are you on wifi all the time? Because my 3G standby time kills the battery 7% per hour while the phone just sitting there, and I had good reception (4 to 5 /5 bar).

Hi,

Is anyone using the Kernel on stock? Will I see improvements to battery life?

Just debating taking the plunge and buying franco's app, reading the review it sounds like a 'must have'!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cpom1:
You will. Nice thing about Franco kernel is that you will be getting tweaks as well as official Google patches. There are some really nice tweaks in the kernel that you will really benefit from. ;)

@Franco: 1 quick question for you. 1. There is an app called light flow which allows the N4 to show the LED (in user chosen colors) for charging/charged, messages etc. The only downside to this is a. It's an additional program and b. The LED only glows while the screen is off. Is there any way you can enable this functionality in the kernel AND have the LED on while the screen is on? That would be awesome! Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] whittikins:
That's ROM functionality, not kernel. Use AOKP for both of those features. Also, what's wrong with having an app run to manage LED? This phone has more than enough resources.

Dude!!! (how often does a 46 year old get to say dude) I have been running the pa rom with .33 all the time and if you read my post you would see that I am having no problem with the pa rom stock kernel and the .33 radio. If you read many of the pa posts you will see many people keep their LTE (.33) and use PA. You would also note that I did not experience this problem with kernels before 115 using the same rom and radio. Having said that I recognize that .33 may be the issue with Franco's newest kernels and don't expect him to support it, but it may also be something he can fix or that other people may experience. Now when someone searches the thread for the word sensors they will find my posts and realize that they may have to choose between LTE and Franco's latest kernel, or who knows maybe they will find another post from me saying hey kernel 127 works with the .33 radio. Not insisting on a fix just putting it out there to see if anyone else noticed it, I know lots of people use different radios (which may not be the issue) I will change the radio after reconfirming M1 worked and getting it to fail on 116. It takes time as it does not fail right away so I want to be sure it is not the ROM a program or hardware heating up.

Thanks for trying to help I will edit my post to make it clear that I have been using the .33 radio through several kernels and versions of PA

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Foxnov1990:
Same here strangely enough. Skipped the r115 and went from r111 to r116.

Every now and again the sensors stop working so I have to reboot.

The buttons still work but the digitizer seems disabled... (until the reboot)

------

Standard program settings (max set to 1350)

No UV, Interactive.

Stock ROM (rooted)

Havent had any issues on the r111 (still not since I reflashed it) but I had it 3x on the r116 today only... so I'm guessing it has something to do with this kernel.

Just joined the party here. Stock rooted Jellybean + Franco's Kernel r116. I should've used the franco.Kernel Updater app to back up my stock kernel... oh well.

I had a quick question, by default I don't need to do any tweaking to try to increase my battery life right? I was looking at the default r116 voltage settings and I noticed it was higher than some of the "default" values I seen in YouTube video reviews for the Kernel.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

Phone seems to be running cooler. Have never idled at temps below 30C before. Probably due to hot plugging I would imagine

But there are definitely moments with noticeable stutters in the UI. I would say 92% of the time everything is smooth like r111 and then there are the occasional stutters
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
I dropped the timer_rate for the interactive governor on r116 to 18000, seems to make the phone a bit more responsive. Not sure if placebo or actual difference. If there's an actual difference, next step is testing battery life. I'll do that in real world tomorrow.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

Am I the only one whose Google Services is going wonky with this kernel? With stock kernel and my same weekly habits, Google services would never use up the amount it has with Franco kernel. With M1 it seems ok, but with the nightlies its horrible. Also the issue seems to only happen when I'm on my schools WiFi.

116 also has some micro lag for me too. Maybe I'll just stick to M1 for now.

Squarely point the blame for that at your school's WiFi. Your phone is probably having a hard time maintaining a good connection to Google Services because of something in the school WiFi setup.

I like r116. prefer hotplug over mpdecision. However milestone/r111 feels so much more smooth and better batter life. After trying r116 I'm going to wait for a more stable hotplug build. I known Trinity kernel has been using hot plug for some time and that Franco works with them. So I'm hoping for some collaboration between the two(three) to make this hotplug driver even better. Either way after trying many kernels I always end up back on Franco. its just solid.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

Add me to the list of people who went back to EpicKernel (aka r111). I really tried to like r116 but there was definitely a lack of responsiveness on the lock screen - a few seconds delay a couple of times to even turn on - and general oddities throughout, a couple of crashes. Overall, I'd been spoilt by the rock solidness of r111 combined with its superb performance and battery life. I'm sure there are tweaks and I'm sure Franco will keep improving the new driver, but for now r111 is very much a case of "if it ain't broke" for me.

I have bought the app as a token of appreciation - keep up the good work Franco.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

I think the division may well be gamer/non-gamer. I am not remotely interested in games, so have no idea about smoothness in them, but in actual use of the device, multitasking, ui control and moving around r111 just (unscientifically) feels better. And r116 has definitely been a bit iffy on my device re unlocking and the odd crash. Nothing to panic over, but doesn't give off the air of stability that r111 did. All very unscientific, as I said.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

I game a lot on this device. mostly NFS most wanted/shift and shadow gun (and plan to buy Aftermath XHD soon) but the quad cores and snap dragon are part of reason I bought this device. for gaming. and I still find M1 smoother overall for gaming. With interactive and conservative. I have high hopes for future hotplug builds though because theoretically it should offer better core response, thus better gaming.

But it really comes down to how the kernel is compiled and thresholds implemented (I always go with stock settings with kernels).

after this thought edit: I notice a bit of lag on lock screen wake on r116 compared to no lag on m1. could be my ROM and settings. just an observation.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
To everyone reporting problems – try to give the ROM you're using as well as any changes you've done to the governor settings or UV. That said, if you've UV-ed, try to restore the voltages for some time and see if everything's the same.

If you feel especially helpful, you can use an app like System Monitor or Perfmon and explain how the frequencies and cores are behaving when you notice lags. I'm sure that's more helpful for Franco than "it lags, I'm back to xxx".

Btw I'm on AOKP 6 and have no problems even with UV -150 mV all across. Everything's smooth.

Generally, you don't need to tweak it additionally. Franco's doing a good job in balancing things out. You're always free to test out new settings, though, and share here. And the different phone chips are slightly different, so they come with different default voltages.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

AW: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

Hi,

I was running 4.2.1 with a respective franco.kernel (maybe #61, cannot remember). Things were super smooth, battery lasted much longer than with stock kernel. To update to 4.2.2 I went back to stock, updated, rerooted and now got the #116 nightly running, updated through the Franco app. The phone is superslow now, especially when in writing texts in (chrome, tapa talk, mail etc.)... Is the 116 some kind of special experimental version or do I have to reset some settings to make it work?

This is by far the slowest I ever saw my phone, compared to any other Franco or stock kernel I had installed!

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r116 | M1

Reset everything. Should be a clean fresh install or no one can help you troubleshoot. I can tell you that most people here are running 116 with no issues beyond some occasional stuttering while scrolling with the new hotplug driver introduced in 115. You should not see any slowness in apps at all. At least, I'm not. So I'd say start clean without restoring all your old data and try that
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Not necessarily – depends on the usage. Conservative takes longer time to ramp up or down the frequency which could result in a different performance and different battery life (better or worse). In heavy apps and games for example it would keep the frequency generally more stable in the highs, so the fps would be better and battery life – worse. In normal day-to-day tasks it might prevent some frequency spikes and possibly improve the battery life.

That's all my thoughts, and could be wrong. I'm sure someone will correct me if that's the case.

At what kind of update steps are you implying a full reset to be necessary? I am actually using my phone quite hardcore - as a phone & organizer etc. - the things these kind of phones are designed for. I don't have the time for a complete reinstall every time I update the kernel. I know that for a lot of people here their phone is a toy they like to play with - I just installed Franco.kernel for the battery life. I am not interested in color tweaking (if I do color correction jobs I have a calibrated monitor for that) not boot animations etc. So what's the fastest way to get a working phone with the extended battery life of the Franco.kernel, preferably WITHOUT installing anything from scratch...?
