You dare question Franco! :eek:

Edit: The kernel is smooth as. Agreed that it isn't as lag free as r111 but it's still amazing. Should note that I haven't reduced the timer rate. This is with the stock kernel settings. ROM is Xylon 29-3 and it's only a small hint of a pause when opening heavy games.

since the nexus isn't efficient with heat its performance isn't optimal compared to devices with the same cpu, the governor is closed source aswell.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Here's an update on my app for quick comparison between 3 gamma settings (simple hit of a button). It's updated to work with the newest superuser app, and now changes the values almost instantly. This version also allows to control the R/G/B gamma values either separately or together – for convenience (press Cycle). There's also better safety restrictions on the entered values. Slightly changed UI to take less screen estate while comparing. Check the hidden text in this post for more info.

GamaTester_5.1 Download link

Tasker Project

Hope you enjoy! Drop me a pm with any comments/questions, etc.

Important note: delete the TXT file, made from previous versions of the app, before starting to avoid conflict.

You can set up the values and then you are allowed to browse through your phone, apps, pictures, and hit the test buttons to change the presets on the fly. You can also "minimize" the app – it leaves a button on the screen for "restore". When you hit the "Close" button it asks if you want to save the profiles to a txt file that is loaded the next time the app opens. The txt file is saved to the root dir on your "sdcard". You can also give names to your presets.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Hey Franco, I know you are a busy guy and are constantly updating your kernel and improving upon it as well.

I was just curious if you were still planning on updating the Display Control App? I purchased it right before all the breakthrough in the gamma coding and configuration and really loved the simplicity and functionality of the app. But only being able to adjust RGB and not gamma with the app (now that we can adjust gamma) makes it less effective.

I am not big into configuring the kernel itself, that's why I decided to purchase the display control app, just want to configure the colours. I know this can be done with scripts, but since I already purchased the colour app I was hoping it would be a possibility to change within the app itself.

Appreciate all you do and love your work, peace bro.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r115 | M1

This is very true and I have heard it's a fantastic app. I only asked because I have already purchased the display control app, and the reason I decided to use display control instead of kernel control is I run kernels as is and don't like to configure the functionality of the kernel itself. I just like to change colour. That's why I made my decision originally.

I will wait to see what Francisco has to say. I am not looking for an Eta or anything like that, just curious if it's still on the agenda is all? Thanks guys. Peace.

Hey guys I got very high suspend backoff wakelock today again. I think I have found some pattern of this wakelock and would like to ask you guys help me find out the hiden reason.

The substantial wakelock only appear when I was using the 802.1 EAP public Wi-Fi service of my university. When I used my own WPA2 router Wi-Fi or on 3g it basically didn't appear. I am using Franco kernel r111 and of course then Android 4.2.2. Now I think the problem must be related to the different Wi-Fi working mode under 802.1 EAP. But I am just a normal user and have no idea about the detail Wi-Fi working mechanism. So I would like to ask for your help and tell me what I can do to figure the problem out.

Followed are the dump file and catlog. I still can't get the dmesg file.

Hey people. How do you achieve such insane SOT? I'm on r111 on WiFi and if I browse Google plus for less than ten minutes my battery drops by 4-5%. Is this more or less normal or do you guys turn off GPS, disable auto brightness and UV to achieve 4 hours of SOT? My phone lasts the day but SOT is closer to one hour. It wasted 2% while on WiFi and 5 hours of not using it at all.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] iammudd:
To me, r115 seems to online/offline cores too frequently. (It is worse with a timer rate of 35k.) Simply flinging the apps list in TB would cause the number of cores to fluctuate dramatically / "randomly" (sometimes from 1 core to immediately 4). It is during the online/offline process when you can see the scrolling apps list stutter.

Recalling the comment that offlining a core involved a lot of re-queuing, I still prefer the r90-test versions where there was an option to maintain a minimum of 2 cores online.

The last two used to drain even harder before but they've improved it since. More than likely this is what is causing your poor SOT life.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
With light usage (opening not too heavy apps, some multitasking, browsing, fast scrolling through the app drawer and widgets) the performance is about the same as 111's for me (default kernel settings). The battery life also doesn't look bad but I can't compare cause I've only drained 50% so far.

Could I ask what happened to the "old" hotplugging from the early 90's? Why did you decide to drop the 2cores always online behaviour (@Franco)? It was buttery smooth and I had no complains about the battery, as so did mostly everyone, if I recall correctly.

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

Stock ROM does not suck. Wouldn't use as your daily driver? Seriously? Noting beats stock+Franco. I have none of the issues that people have with say; AOKP, PA, cm10.1... Battery life is insane (and I run LTE at all times)...

Stock+Franco FTW!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Stock definitely doesn't suck but it's not as optimized as many other ROMS. After I moved from stock to AOKP, my framerate games jumped significantly. Antutu also showed a jump from 17-18k to 21, if that's an indication.

The thing is to not only listen about other ROMs and their problems or features, but to actually make a nandroid backup and flash a few. Just saying cause I got the impression you haven't tried other than stock.

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

You're right to assume that I haven't tried any ROM on my N4. Only because I'm an old flash veteran from way back in the GT-i9000 days. I've been around the block. That said, I only flashed those ROMs to try and get the pure vanilla experience. After a while I found that the ROMs are never in a state of perfection. It becomes quite frustrating. Kernels are another story. A good stable kernel is all I need to implement the little tweaks and changes I want. Each unto his own I suppose. These are Nexus Devices after all so there are perfect for flash addicts. I'm just sick of the constant struggle.

It does kinda suck. This phone would be long gone if I had to put up with using stock for more than a few hours.

I get the people that don't want to mess around with it, my grandparents are great people, but I have no idea why you would be willing to root and use custom kernels but content to put up with stock ROM.

That said, there's a whole bucket load of people I don't understand and that's not the weirdest thing out there.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
After more extensive testing, I've gotta say the r115 feels smooth. Haven't experienced any lags (on AOKP 6). The cores kick up more often, and often all of them but I feel no lag when it happens. And the gaming – it seems it behaves extremely well. I've tried a few light games and the kernel keeps on constant number of cores online – one or two. Then I tried different things in GTA VC with max graphics, and I got constantly 4 cores up, usually on fairly low frequencies, which kept the phone cooler than usual for quite a while. they bump up above 1GHz only when driving fast with a lot of stuff to render. Also no lag whatsoever in the Play Store or TitaniumBackup (I think I heard people complaining about lag there).

Overall I'm happy with the performance. If the battery is as good as with previous versions, that's a step in the right direction in my eyes.
