I just saw that I had the governor set to interactive as this gave me good results with the #53 or #61 kernels back then. Could it be possible that #116 and governor interactive is an almost unusable combination? Changed to conservative now and it seems MUCH am smoother. Btw high CPU demanding apps like temple run were working fine in both settings it was the low CPU tasks like text-input which got unusuably slow with interactive!

im on stock rom and fracnos latest nightly... I have the $4.99 updater app and trying to input some undervolting values that another member posted from a screen that that was working for them you have for undervolting and every time i get to the 1100 frequency it keeps booting the phone. 2 times so far and now on the third attempt the phone is stuck on the nexus logo for 10 min....

I rebooted phone by holding power button and getting into recovery and flashed stock Kernel and still can't get past the nexus logo.. tried flashing Motley kernel and still cant get past the boot logo.

going to try flashing just the system.img to see if i can boot finally with out losing my apps and text messages.

any ideas why this is happening?

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

Sounds like you undervolted too much. You need to find out what speed binning your phone has before you go and start playing with UV. If you're unsure what you're doing leave it as is, UV doesn't have much effect on battery anyway

Franco it is possible to add the function to change the readahead and scheduler in your app? I would also appreciate if you add the functionality for profiles. So it's easy to change between battery and Performance profile.

Sorry for the bad english.

Keep up your good work:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] formicae:
Well, the reboots are because you undervolted too much; for the record, if you get a crash or reboot at a certain value, don't try that value again, it's too low.

By doing it three times, you also tripled the chance that you'd get some data corruption when the phone crashed ungracefully.

There's a lesson here, though. ABN: Always Be Nandroidin'

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

A flash of the kernel should be all that is required, but something is clearly very wrong with your setup if it is incredibly slow. In that case a full reinstall may make sense.

You mentioned that it seems fine with conservative. So I wonder if your governor settings are messed up. It would be worth trying to clear data in the Franco kernel app to see if that makes a difference.

First time trying this kernel out, really digging the control I can have over the colors & contrast/brightness levels. One question: Do I have to reset kernel to stock every time I flash a new ROM/update my current ROM?

This is because most other kernel simply inject their zimage into the stock boot.img however Franco completely replaces this. That is why you must reset to the stock kernel prior to flashing any other kernel that does this otherwise the modified ramdisk conflicts and what not.

Awesome kernel so far (r116), running on the latest version of ParanoidAndroid.

Only got one thing to note. I just recently upgraded from the stock PA kernel to franco, and i noticed something strange.

When i look into BetterBatteryStats, i see that a partial wakelock has ocurred: AudioOut_2.

This happens even when my phone is on vibrate mode.

So i went and investigated some further, and i found the culprit. When i get a notification (eg. WhatsApp) and my phone is on vibrate mode, the speaker in the back of the phone turns on for a couple of seconds (~4 seconds) and then turns off again. No sound, just a little bit of noise.

This causes the wakelock to appear.

Is there any known fix for this? Since it did not appear on the stock PA kernel, i assume it has something to do with this kernel.

Hope to see this get fixed, or maybe there's already a fix for it, since this is making my battery life alot less awesome with Franco's kernel :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sir*mez:
@franco I have noticed that if you choose the default color settings and then move the saturation setting to let's say 71 in misc . , press home check the color ddifference and then go back to misc. settings bring back the saturation setting to 0, it will not go back to the default settings. It will go to a wash out color setting. Has this been reported? Is something wrong with the color settings?

Edit: I have noticed that this only happens with the saturation setting.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] johann2204:
you don't need to delete the txt ending. it works how it is.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
That's because the not all of the "default" settings are in the values available to choose from with the sliders. I.e. the app initially shows the saturation to be 0, while it's not really 0, and when you slide it, you apply the value you see, so you can't revert to the original. If you're wondering why are there values that are not available to choose from, search the thread for information.

Yeah only that's not really the same exact thing as the stock boot.img. When 4.2.2 came out I tried using that to reset my kernel to apply the OTA and it didn't work. Worked fine when I found a different stock boot.img in zip format. Not sure what the differences are, just wanted to share my experience.

On another note, r116 has been pretty good for me minus some stuttering and hesitation, most commonly when unlocking/waking the device. Looks like 117 should help with that though. Still get some occasional wonkiness with the status bar in those situations too but nothing major.
