Greenify has really to do with the kernel. All it does is put certain apps into hibernation so they're not running in the background on you and killing your battery. So yes it is useful with either.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
mako_defconfig has never been used. My config is in /proc/config.gz.

Ugliest app I've seen in a while...

Don't know. Too many options are not always good.

Nope.

Use my config... /proc/config.gz. That warning happens because the config you used has ARM_UNWIND enabled.

I love the new r21, I use to think that my phone was bloated with software because I felt it really slow when finger navigating :)

Thanks again Franco.

I promise I'll buy the app, I just don't use CCs I'll do it today hopefully.

Keep up the good work.

Is it supposed to have the 3rd and 4th cores offline all the time? Mine is:S

I have the same issue. It's very annoying.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Log into gtalk and reboot , screw around on platstore for a lil while , then reboot , basically just play around on something Google for 30 seconds and reboot . has worked 100% of the time for me on all my androids ....

Franco, 21 is stupid fast !!! Battery drain very slow so far ;). Not feeling lag or studder couple people say they have , very smooth threw out phonr , including apps Thanks

First cycle after 6h of standby (because I charged it full and left it on standby while I slept), I noticed that the phone was a bit warmer than usual..

Didn't used to get warm when I did regular things such as text and go on FB or XDA. It only got warm when I played games. But will keep you guys posted.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] derPianist:
May I ask which app that is?

Looks extremely ugly but there are so many information! I like it, because I never so a app showing the actual frequency of each core.

On PAb9 and r21, not even close to smooth with default settings.

Im liking the latest exp (r21). Its funny i have never had a reboot or anything that people have complaining about. even when the kernel panic issue was going on that never once happened to me. maybe im just lucky or maybe your just good franco :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] elliot.newnham:
Why not peg the CPU at 1.5GHz, no more lag then :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
LOL, yes very funny pa,pn2, Now who's the dickhead?

I've already explained that the phone does connect to the computer when fast charge is enabled so we don't need a warning sign saying it doesn't.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Doesn't connect for me , charges but isn't recognized till i shut off fast charge . so warning is a good idea IMO ,it triggers memory to shut that setting off . ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ceejay83:
I'm on aokp, default settings and everything is smooth. I usually have force GPU rendering on but turned it off to test. With apex scrolling is smooth, the verge full website is smooth
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheByteSmasher:
This has happened to me to since R18 or so... I'm not sure why but all I need to do is a shutdown and restart. Not a reboot shortcut for some reason but actually using power off. Then turn it back on. No need to wipe cache or dalvik etc.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hakim7489:
more smooth than previous versions but gets relatively warmer on normal usage. not big of a deal though. running r21 + xylon14.1 combo.

Tried to put the governor on performance, no delay at all. Just to let you know.

Would be great if the author (is it you?) used the UI guidelines from Google. I'm sure everyone would be happy ;)

Isn't there a way to make a profile only for the moment when the screen turns off? I seriously get a huge delay sometimes (like 6-7 seconds).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raptor22:
Just finished my first cycle with r140. I am absolutely amazed at the results I've gotten with my own custom governor settings. Thought it would be useful so decided to share.

Max/Min CPU freq: 1512/384

Dynamic Toggle: Off

Above High speed delay: 50000

Go hispeed load: 99

High speed freq: 702MHz

Timer rate: 10000

Min Sample Time: 50000

Input Boost freq: 594MHz

Hotplug Settings: Default (90/50/30/10)

Suspend freq: 594MHz

Cores on swipe: 2

-125mv for all frequencies between 384-1512

Usage: Lots of xda browsing, YouTube, GTalk, some web browsing including sunspider JavaScript tests, and about 30mins of music with screen off.

I do have to mention this though, if anyone is looking for a 100% smooth setting, this is not the configuration for you. Most of the time my Nexus runs like butter, though the occasional stutter still occurs here and there (usually due to a poorly coded app I guess)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] javacody:
So you come on Franco's thread about the kernel he provides for free to show that you are too cheap to buy his app?

You sir, are a waste of space.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 3c:
I'm not using his kernel so don't need his app.

I'm simply sharing information, and offered an alternative that provides one feature requested by a user of this kernel, which apparently is not available in franco's app.

I didn't imagine being personally attacked for that.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gravitysandwich:
Even though your ui is not the best, I like the way your CPU and GPU frequencies are shown. Helps me understand better than 4 graphs showing each CPU. And it is a great alternative:).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dapsANDpoundz:
Its not your fault. Franco has a lot of groupies that come to his aid on issues that really have nothing to do with them. They think they're helping, but only making things worse.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CrimsonSmear:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

Does cores_on_touch supersede second_level core hotpluging as long as touch is not released during usage?

The simplest indication is by scrolling ridiculously long lists, or swiping in home to ramp-up cpu usage, which will result in online cores jumping from cores_on_touch value (setting to "1" will better highlight the issue) to max cores if first_level threshold is met. There is no gradual hotpluging progression of onlining cores even if second_level is lowered to an easier attainable threshold.

This issue affects long lists, UI and possibly less demanding gaming.

Hey I know many people have already complained about the wifi issues...

But let me explain my situation..I was completely stock...And the Downloading speed of my wifi was damn too slow..I tried many solution with no success...Then I flashed ur kernel see if it makes any difference...but unfortunately it didnt...still the wifi was too slow...In the end I downloaded a fix kernel of yours with prima drivers that fixed my issue...

I just wanted to ask are you going to apply those updated drivers to your kernel...so wont need to flash different kernels(fixes)...

Thanks.

Franco, in theory, is better use 2 cores at 1500mhz or 4 cores at 1026 (i.e.)? In which one the use of battery will be better? Thanks if you can explain it!

I used to use this with BANNED KERNEL when my Evo 3D was my dd. That was one hell of a kernel if you knew how to keep it stable.

Wow, seems like version 140 fixed my battery on 3G issue. Before I only had a display on time about 1,5-2h, now I can use my mobile about 3h! And I don't notice any speed decrease. NICE!

Still much faster than stock, best app to compare seems to be Temple Run Oz, stuttery on stock, buttery on francos. :D

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] trailblazerz11:
Not certain but I think as long as you have stock recovery, an OTA update will just flash over franco kernel

I doubt anyone would ask about it because it's a completely different device. All good tho.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kszaq:
The fixes in Prima driver that some of people are using here on xda have been merged some time ago in CodeAurora's branch for Android 4.3 and thus we can expect them to be present in the next Android version.

One thing to remember: please don't ask devs to merge the new drivers until they're officialy merged in AOSP, because we also need updated proprietary WiFi firmware for them to fully work. If you really need them, you can download patched version of your favourite kernel in some other threads. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] AutruiP:
Hm, i have a problem with the app. When i want to control the governor, the app crashes...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Just make a backup before u do, call it 4.2.2, when update comes out install your backup, download new google update. Zip(android police. Com will have one within min of update) and flash it in recovery, as long as u didn't mess with system files it will install with custom recovery just like custom rom dose, its what i do and always works.

Chill out man, Franco is big enough to fight his own battles if he needs to, and he has said before he doesn't mind people talking here about other apps which do kernel stuff.

Of course the best compatibility will be with Franco's own app, and the paid version does allow appreciative users to pay something back. But even if someone is using Franco's kernel, it's up to them if they want to do that or not ;)

Can anyone plz tell me why the max frequency of my phone is showing as 1728? It shd b (i think) 1518 (something). I didnt overclock my phone's cpu.

I m on carbon rom (21-5) nightly and franco kernel r140.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] spaceman860:
Because you can oc with Franco up to 1728 but if you don't oc it will only go up to 1512 which is what your current frequency is showing

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
Because its the allowed max frequency.

Use a proper tool like CPU spy. it differentiates between set frequencies and possible frequencies.

Ok, now I stablized the building, just want to tweak a little.

I changed kernel name in config file to not confuse with franco nightlies, but hostname continues to be francisco (appears stk@francisco). Where do I change this?

Want to play a little with freq and voltage, where i can check the values?

Its fun to compile stuff ;)

Thanks for the awesome kernel francisco!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] omer7:
So that means it is only showing that I can OC it to 1728? Because I only have the franco kernel updater free app, from which one cannot change CPU frequencies etc. So I was wondering how did it change, because it (max cpu frequency) used to be 1512 in quadrant (system info) before flashing the kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 3dupunk:
Because I like the info page in trickster. It lets me know what's going on at every frequency.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Like the app cpu spy dose? I dont use trickster on this phone use it on my gs3 but not for a while, but if that's what your talking about cpu spy casues no issues or battery use and is pretty legit no issues with it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Net.silb:
From using this kernel for a while these are the general results people get:

~ Full day's use off charger, 4-6 hours SOT = default settings + auto-brightness + WiFi

~ Full day's use off charger, 2-4 hours SOT = default settings + auto-brightness + 3G

I usually get 3 hours SOT ~ Full day's use off charger, default settings + auto-brightness + 3G. I can't imagine how you can't get 2 hours O.o

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
No it was a serious question? I come to this thread often. Been here since the beginning, just recently been busy and not really having much feedback to give.

Just seems silly if you're compiling his kernel and renaming it to another kernel name called purified kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
What's silly in wanting to learn?

If you come here so often, you would notice that I want to learn how to build,tweak some settings, going step by step, next will try some more like governors and applying some patches.

Who's silly now? I know francisco from his first kernels, so I know here he's coming from: he and other fellow users gave me help. If you want to help I apreciate. If not let me be.

"NOTICE: If you come from Franco Kernel, YOU MUST FLASH RESET KERNEL FIRST otherwise it will result in a boot loop due to NON-STOCK ramdisk used in Franco Kernel!"

I just read this on the faux kernel thread and wanted to know what this means. If I go back to google factory image or some other rom like CM with it's own kernel, must I also "reset" something? Really have no clue what this problem is about :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
First... Why are you trying to use faux kernel :p

Second all that means if you have flashed Franco kernel, you need to flash his reset kernel before flashing faux kernel. If you update your ROM (which flashes the stock kernel) then you'll be fine flashing faux.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
The cores_on_touch is supreme over second, third and fourth levels. Only first_level is checked first. While the is_touching boolean is true (means you're touching or swiping the screen) second, third and fourth levels won't be even checked. I don't understand how is that a problem, but I'm very tired and I might not be understanding your explanation :)

I don't have empirical data to tell you that. In my opinion, and without data, I would say 4 cores all using 1026MHz will use less battery than 2 with 1,5GHz, but I don't have real data to back it up.

Why would we need that? Do we really change freqs and voltages that frequently? I agree with a Power Modes / Color profiles widgets, I just need more time.

I changed a file for that. I don't remember where exactly, check the initial commits on mako tree back in November/December.

4.6 works fine indeed :)

I'm wondering too, how come they reached 4 / even 5 hours. But mostly peoples using wifi. And i mostly using 3G and the signal maybe not good enough here, mostly full, lol. So, i dunno. :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Why worrying about screen on time? Do you enjoy your device? Do you have fun with it? Can you use it for your needs? Can you call your friends and send them messages? Can you charge it at the end of your day? For example I run all my devices with 100% brightness. Yes my battery life takes a hit, but do I give a ****? No, thats how I enjoy my devices :) We should all enjoy what we have and stop worrying if X or Y has 2934829 hours of battery life just because we can't have it. Maybe our usages are different? Yes. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kyokeun1234:
Using 3g definitely kills the battery. Even if you have a decent signal. That's probably your number 1 reason why you're not having a great battery life. If you use it on WiFi, your battery life will be dramatically improved guaranteed. Also apps like Facebook stays in the background even if you don't use it. So use something like greenify to stop apps like this from running in the background

I've had my Nexus 4 for a week now so I haven't really tested any other Kernel than Franco Kernel which indeed is awesome. Had a GS3 before and tested hundreds of roms and kernels and know what differences these stuff usually cause. I don't really intend to flash faux kernel my main concern was to know if I had to do anything after updating my CM rom or switch to another rom (Carbon Rom). At the moment I'm using CM 10.1 RC2 + franco.Kernel M2.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pyr0sphere:
Well 80%+ of the time that you use the phone, the screen is on so screen on time is important in that sense. And not everybody has access to a charger/outlet during the day so that's why there is such a concern over battery life
