Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

With these new settings the cpu hardly uses the higher frequencies. When scrolling through the home screens 4 cores would come online after awhile, but mostly stay at 384 and occasionally go up to 594. I rarely see the cpu reach max freq and everything is super smooth; I can only imagine the battery savings will be huge. Going to try nfs to see how it performs with these new settings. Nice one Franco!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hospital349:
Thanks dude.

I need to get myself into bed. Sorry to cause such a fuss. It seems as though even go_hispeed_load: 70 didn't cut it (strangely enough). However, I changed my min_freq to 594MHz and left everything else on default (even the boostpulse_duration is set to default) and everything is perfect. For the time being I'll leave my min_freq where it is and enjoy the performance boost.

Many thanks for getting back. I appreciate it. :good:

I'll edit the config later and see how it goes. I saw another thread about fixing this.

Franco, any idea what causes push notification delays longer on this kernel compared to stock on mobile data?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sucre213:
U are not alone

with r47, scrolling between apps or in the system settings is very smooth

However, some apps stutter

other than that, Franco kernel is the best !! Great work~

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

Hey guys,

Do any of you use a battery saving program with this kernel? I use 2X Battery and I'm wondering if I even need to.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
The kernel itself is battery saver.

If you really want to squeeze even more juice, under clock to 1Ghz. But I doubt it would be necessary.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

I don't really use any of those apps... I let the kernel do its thing... Some of those apps uses batteries just by running and killing apps... So it contradicts the whole idea... But that one looks promising.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

Why is it a waste?

All jd does is turn off data, that helps battery. What does jb do that makes it not needed?

It helps a lot when your phone is off, u purchased it but decided I needed my data always on. For someone that doesn't need this, it would make a difference like I saw.

Have you personally used it and found it to be a waste when you turn the screen off?

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

Disabling data automatically on sleep while it saves a lot of battery can be cumbersome especially if you rely on push notifications for gmail, social networking stuff etc. If this doesn't apply to you... why is it so hard to just turn off sync and data from the toggles until you needed data again? I've noticed a lot of people just over complicate the os with all these apps that do basically things that take a fraction of a second to do and in most cases just make battery life worse. I just don't see the value in an app that does something we can do manually in a fraction of a second.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] darkamikaze:
I think it's the automation. If you had the chance to get automatic lights when you walk in the room as opposed to turning on a switch, wouldn't you rather have that?

Or power windows, on the drivers side you press the button once to go down and it automatically brings it all the way down instead of holding the button.

I think that's why people use it.

Either way, not a big fan of JD either, I personally see no difference. In fact its worse for me just cause I constantly turn off/on my screen when I get text.

Obviously it depends on the end user but for me personally I would want some form of connection to ensure I got notifications such as the ones you have started above so turning it off would be a no no.

However I've always wondered why the connection doesn't automatically switch to 2g, surely that would be a " go between "

As far as I understand Android right, dalvikcache couldn't have an impact in kernel because the dalvik is a cache for the apps inside the Android system but kernel is the underlaying system oft Android so dalvik has nothing to do with kernel functions.

Only if an APP would save something in the cache depending on kernel and is able to conflict hole system, then wiping cache would make sense. But I am not aware oft such app.

Hi guys.

I wanna say a huge " Thank you" to Franco and his work. I was on 23 for a long time and it was really good for my needs. I wasn't so happy with 32 and 34, but 46 is a real dream.

26 hours on with 3.5 hours on screen and 36% left. 90% WiFi. How could this get any better?

But that is what I thought about 23, so I am really excited about the future versions. Will give 47 a try today unless a newer version will come out today. :p
