I wish there was a way to have the color profile selector as a floating widget to switch profiles while looking at a picture from my gallery.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Connor Baker:
I believe that you don't have to do that anymore. Originally I believe it was due to Franco accidentally using an outdated ramdisk, and that ramdisk caused problems. Now, I thought that problem was resolved, so if you still need to flash the reset kernel it's above me.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
Because Franco makes tweaks to the ramdisk. Its not stock and causes issues when you flash a different kernel. More specifically one that does not replace the entire boot.img or inserts its own ramdisk. The way most other kernels work is they inject the zImage into the boot.img. Franco just uses the entire boot.img packed with his ramdisk and zImage.

Wrong. See above.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ceejay83:
Yes same here with defaults. Also notice when pressing recents there's a tiny bit of lag. On the other hand, I get the highest fps with Franco when gaming

Stock settings right?

Go into the F.K.U app if you have it, then frequencies and voltages, then hotplug control, and change cores online on touch input to 4.

Try that and report back. It could just be that the CPU isn't ramping up quickly enough.

Those are Power States for the CPU. The states are being used just fine. That mister in the post you quoted is funny. Read this commit from Google: https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/mako/+/546e578579b678178095c95af8ba99b20894f86e^!/#F0 - they know it better than any of us. If they disabled Power Collapse Standalone then there must be a reason for that and that commit message is probably the answer.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:
Thx for the info franco!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
So how does the stock kernel correct this but you can't just flash faux. Sorry if this is redundant, just trying to understand.

Carbonized and francofied N4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
It loads the stock ramdisk...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
No such thing here on AOKP, apps and even resents ( mentioned as slow further in thread) r very quick to open no lag whatsoever. Stock settings
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
I understand that but does faux use a different ram disk setup as well then. If not why can't his kernel just overwrite it like the stock does?

Carbonized and francofied N4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
He doesn't use a boot.img format like me so when you flash his you're only flashing the zImage (Kernel compressed). When you flash mine as in boot.img format you're flashing zImage + ramdisk.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I don't THINK it includes ram disk it uses one installed (stock) witch is y it won't boot
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:
Whats the point of using kernel/rom that has to release an update 1+ month now??at least if you wanna test something else and come back to franco..try a supported kernel!!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
And faux is the only one that uses that format? So you would only need a reset for his, not trinity or whatever others are bout there.

Carbonized and francofied N4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
No... Most use this method. Lean kernel is the only other kernel that I know of that uses the whole boot.img like Franco.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MrDarkKV:
I think its fair to say Franco cant really add many more features without effecting the battery at this point. Seriously, great work man, honestly I don't see why r140 isn't M3. :p

I cant wait to see what Franco will have lined up for us on 4.3, with hopefully the push from Google on the new 3.8 (unless they push 3.9, but the timespan doesn't seem right) Linux kernel..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] trailblazerz11:
Unlikely they will update kernel version. They havent on past updates, leaving devices in same version. Too much work to rebase for update. 3.8 probably for new nexus 7.

All speculation at this point.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Are you sure? ;)

r142:

* Automatically online a cpu with a boosted frequency instead of waiting a sample for recalculation of load bla bla. If a core goes online it should be because there is a bigger load so to save ms and to get better performance the core comes online boosted to hispeed_freq that comes from interactive gov;

* Wait 5 seconds before scaling up interactive tunables on high load. Sometimes just by interacting with the UI around we can *ocasionally* have the four cores online, but we don't really need the high performance tunables. If we're gaming we'll hit this 5 seconds easily;

* New first_level default, decreased from 90 to 80;

* Interactive defaults changed: timer_rate to 50000, go_hispeed_load to 95, hispeed_freq to 1350MHz, input_boost_freq to 1188MHz. This should help battery life when the load is low while maintaining some smoothness if we suddenly need the processing power

* Bunch of patches from Linux upstream Kernel and CodeAurora (check git)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Laurentwb:
Hello,

I am using a Qi charger (Wcp-300). Apparently, it charges to a certain battery level (96 or 97%) than stops charging until it is down to approximately 95%. If I place my Nexus 4 to charge overnight, it goes like this all night long and it is not 100% charged on morning.

Other users have reported that they get 100% charge.

I was wondering if this unconsistent behavior could be solved with some kernel tweaking.

Thank you.

Laurent
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
r142 is nice. Seems to smoothed out any microstutter I was having with animations opening apps.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MrDarkKV:
I've actually never has this problem myself, until I read this post.. (I kid you not, I got this issue in the last hour, my batterys stuck at 90% charge). Most battery inconsistencies can be fixed with battery re-calibration apps, which determine the actual levels of the battery. But if that doesn't fix your issue I suggest you get RMA. unless its a global issue with that certain model of charger.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Laurentwb:
Thank you.

Which battery re-calibration app do you use ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:
[MENTION=470754]Franco[/MENTION] what sorcery is that??this is the 1st time after using your kernel that i can notice so much difference between two updates!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MrDarkKV:
Theres a lot to chose from, but this is the most popular calibrator by far I believe

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Lap823:
Kernel 140 running great. Thanks Franco.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
We really have to go over this again.

All that does is delete the battery stats. So does charging to 100%. You can't calibrate your battery. All these apps are snake oil.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] LuisLAN:
That is because it is actually two updates in one
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MrDarkKV:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:
Dianne Hackborn - 6:42 PM - Public Today's myth debunking:

"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/directory."

No, it does not.

This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.

That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."

It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.

It has no impact on your battery life.

Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it for away.

@franciscofranco

What's the logic behind 3 cores online?

I was scrolling through facebook to test the smoothness, it is ridiculously smooth on 2 cores online, smoother than any devices I own. But somehow I tapped somewhere, a 3rd core comes online, which makes scrolling choppy.

Scrolling on XDA app is smoother than ever, navigating system UI is snappy.:good:

It seems like we need a larger load to enable 4 cores, I was running a CPU-intensive game, and it only had 3 cores online @1.2GHz.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dapsANDpoundz:
r142 is smooth as butter so far, but does that need to be said anymore? Everything since about M2 have been smooth for me so no problems there. I've been on M2 last couple days and battery has been great again as opposed to r140 which was terrible for me. Hopefully r142 is way better.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
r142 kept using 2 cores at high frequencies for moderate and light use, the result is super smoothness, but we still need to see how it would impact battery life, and heat production.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
Don't let the phone die completely. Just charge it whenever you need to. Some folks couldnt boot the phone up and some were getting red light of death.

soliciting hotplug control suggestions please. what high/med/low suspend would you recommend for me since my n4 gets real hot when mirroring hdmi/slimport in my car using arlibertaor on a pioneer appradio. my binned cpu is fast and uv'd by 125mv no problem. that keeps it from really frying but it still will shutdown from heat when all cores are busy with nav and music and texts or emails start hitting. pa rom.

Underclock to 1026MHz, should be fine then. Your case is pretty extreme, mirroring is very harsh.

Loving the new r142 update! So smooth running at 1026 freq with default settings! This is a winner Franco!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Underground_XI:
The hotplug method works fine, but to me it seems that r111 still remains a masterpiece compared to any kernel release up to this point. (I am sure it is not placebo, but if somebody else can go back to r111, test and report that would be interesting).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TrenchKato:
From what I understand this is the same behavior as with a wired charger. Even though it is not reported in the battery stats. The phone will drop to 95% then trickle charge back to full again.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
If you want to test it, increase the second level threshold – that'll make additional cores onlining more difficult while still keeping the first level (4 cores instantly) the same. Though I doubt you'll have better experience.

Q. "Best I/O Scheduler?"

A.There is nothing called "best" i/o scheduler. Depending on your usage environment and tasks/apps been run, use different schedulers. That's the best i can suggest.

However, considering the overall performance, battery, reliability and low latency, it is believed that

SIO > Noop > Deadline > VR > BFQ > CFQ, given all schedulers are tweaked and the storage used is a flash device.
