Rc2, for me, is not near as warm as rc1. Rc1 for some reason ran warm for me and I reverted to r127. Performance wise, it is as responsive as each. Around r126 I noticed a marked improvement in audio out quality.

Yes
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
Download the .img file and move it to the "kernel_backup" folder. Go to the franco.kernel app and kernel backup/restore option. Flash the boot.img.

Or you can use this

Google Now does not eat battery. I've never had to disable it to get 5 or 6 hrs SOT/19hr. Disabling Latitude and Location Sharing does help but I don't consider these useful features . This is wake locks after 36:hours, Google Now enabled:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
It does drain battery since it needs to get your location, be it wifi or network. Now how much it drains is something else. I myself don't use it and would rather have the keyboard ready for typing when I swipe up from the home key. Everyone is free to choose.

Well duh it drains battery, the point being I'm getting as much battery life as anyone posting here who has disabled Google Now without disabling it myself, I can reasonably conclude that the drain is neglible. See Google Services wake locks detail in the screenshot.

people will come back to the nexus, especially when key lime pie comes out ;) software > hardware imo, new android versions get me more excited than hardware as software is more important to me personally. nexus phones for life.

LED not working

Hi,

I'm running r19 which seems great other than my LED notifications don't seem to work at all. I've tried a couple of LED test apps too but cannot get it to light at all. Is there some kernel setting I need to make in Franco's app or does it just not work in r19?

Thanks and Merry Christmas :)

This is the whole reason I got the N4 over the Xperia Z. While all those phones are nice, the N4 really is the best of the software side of things and these days the hardware side of things is almost homogeneous. I don't think you would experience any real life difference in performance between the S4 and the N4.

Trust me, I almost ditched my N4 for the HTC ONE... I love that phone! Always had HTC... Since the HTC Nexus One until the HTC Sensation.

But rooting habits plays flawless with Nexus phones... You can just flash and flash and it's rock solid!

As much as I love HTC for the premium quality but they're a pain in the ass to root and keep up with nighlies. Don't think I'm moving from Nexus... Now, if Google comes out with an HTC Nexus again, that will the glory! :)

That's exactly what happened to me. I went to the LG Optimus G on at&t, and then came back to the Nexus 4. The only thing that I really miss is the LTE. Hopefully the next nexus will support it for at&t bands.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Underground_XI:
Htc was cool but then they became so slow pushing updates, then less dev friendly with the bootloader things+no sources being released. And not to mention the fact that they have a new "flagship" device every three months and users feel screwed because the device they paid $700 for now is outdated, deppriciated and at the bottom of the list to get htc updates.

I tried all day thoses settings:

Max freq: 1.18Ghz

So far, my battery has never been better and the performances are strong (4 core always online). It seems that it uses less battery to power 4 cores at lower freq than 2 at medium/high frequency.

But well, maybe I'm just too hype about all this.

I had an HTC wildfire, cheap beast and an s2 now im on nexus 4 and I think that I have a beast in my hands, I know the other OEM is hardware tempting but my short story with the nexus till now is awesome rooted and unlocked after some hour and it's totally crazy that other OEM doesn't make android unlock this way and also open source because the xda community is awesome and I think give a really improvements to android also for the big Sammy and co. So for me nexus will be the choice till support to all is this. And I understand the point of Francisco. BTW I'm mirko and I really enjoy this kernel I'm on rc2 and I don't have any bug all is default value on kernel and carbon ROM.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
That is true when it comes to ported but Nexus devices are always #1 on the list because like Franco said, development is easier simply because all the binaries, drivers, etc are all available. No need to do hacks here and there to get stuff working. No hacks = cleaner code = faster code = overall faster device.

When Key Lime Pie comes, yeah.. other phones will get it but it is not guaranteed that everything will work out of the box (such as, GPS/Auto Rotation/etc) because there are missing drivers and its trying to be backported etc etc.

Nexus is a no brainer if a person likes development, OR simply the fact that they like having the newest and latest Android version. Plus, its a lot cheaper off contract :D Nexus devices arent perfect though, no microSD card (doesnt really bother me, but for some they do), less accessories compared to other phones (due to sales), no removable battery (depends on which nexus you speak of) but the pros outweigh the cons for me. I like development :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Regarding the new 9.3 app: The new themes are cool, but the app menu still doesn't make much sense. According to the Android Guidelines shouldn't you have the menu in the top bar? Also, the multi-colored Color Control icon doesn't really match the others.

Also, I asked this before but it got swamped in some other discussion. Would it be possible to change all the data paths to one common folder, franco.Kernel_updater? Now stuff like power modes and kernel backups are downloaded in their own folders, while color profiles are inside the main folder. Also, a good location for this folder would be /sdcard/data/.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Goku80:
just to add to this...had a galaxy s2...back then cm9 was a pain for codeworkx and team due to the sources not being released by Sammy..Then when i moved to the One X as Franco already knows sources took forever to be released on that phone as well..Regarding updates the same....Yes phones that are released after the Nexus are always more powerful but development for those phones are not as high as this one...

When it comes to rom development...Keep an eye out on the original section here...See how many different roms they are for the Nexus...Plenty..For the HTC and Samsung most TW are the same...Slap a theme on it and they call it different...Okay they might take the odd app off and add another one but most of the roms anywhere apart from the Nexus are the same....Hence why for me Nexus from now on are the best thing since slice bread:D and i am glad Franco has decided to only build for Nexus as building anything else is just wasting his time

Might take me a bit to get used to the font in fKu. Not a complaint. Since I flash a custom font the app just looks out of place on my phone. As often as I'm poking around in the app it won't take long to get use to.

Agree that it would be good to move all the f.Ku data into one folder on the SD card.

Disagree that it should be /sdcard/data. It should be named after the app and off the card's root dir; something like /sdcard/fku

Great !!!!! updated to v9.3 the themes look slick, also on rc2 now, and looks like its gonna be stable. I'd shifted to faux's for a while after r125, but realized franco's kernel was the best in terms of battery and performance. Thanks franco!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Net.silb:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that in regard to smoothness, one core at 1512 GHz is better than four cores at 384 GHz, at least in terms of animations.

According to what I understood from this article: http://www.quora.com/Why-does-Android-scrolling-animation-stutter

The main thread is what handles UI animations and etc, but is also used for many other things such as painting, opening files, responding to user inputs etc. The problem is that the main thread only runs on one core:

"It's a software design problem and not something you can throw more cores at (not least of which because the main thread will only ever run on one core!)."

Basically, that leads me to conclude that animations across the UI and etc would be smoother if there was one core at 1512 GHz and not four cores at 384 GHz.

Your thoughts?
