Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r72

For those people looking for very accurate colors and saturation, I've been playing with the values all afternoon to try to find a match for my hardware calibrated monitor on my PC.

Using the corrected r72+ values, here's the settings I'm using to maintain good color rendition without blowing any channels (at a brightness level of 50%):

R 175

G 175

B 175

Whites 20

Mids 100

Blacks 255

Contrast 0

Brightness 0

Saturation 200

Grays 0

This gives my photos very good tonality in the shadows and mids without blowing any channels (which leads to edge solarization).

Let me know if you like them! Bear in mind, these settings are geared towards accurate color over perceived color. HTH!

Downloaded and flashed the boot image, still experiencing the bootloops. The Google logo shows up, then the screen goes blank and the Google logo comes back up - and so on...

Is there a way I can find out the reason for the boot loop? Strange to be kind of the only one with that problem. I never had this before since I have the Nexus 4, as well - and I have tried quite a few kernels so far^^

Thanks for checking the MD5. I'm using TWRP, might be the reason for my problem. Will try to install CWM and then flash again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] visceralpsyche:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r72

Make sure you're using r72 otherwise it will look dark, due to Franco having Whites and Grays reversed by accident in r71. HTH.

I had created some scripts in data/local/userinit.d to automatically set my color settings and the vibration strength to 70... Seems the cause for the bootloop were these, after commenting them out everything's running normally.

I like the colors, but as mentioned, brightness should be set to 40% or above. With auto-brightness it's quite dark.

So, if we want to use Mole's Halfbreed values (from his calibration thread), do we now switch the grey and white values he listed? (so white would now be decimal 32 and greys would be 64)? Or did Moles have the correct labels all along and this was just a bug specifically in R71?

Hm, seems as if there is some glitch in the new hotplug version of your kernel, when I see all these reboots that occur since you have release r70...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, I have found a small bug with the app. I tried to save a colour profile as moles' halfbreed and it didn't error, but it just didn't save, I presume either the apostrophe or space was screwing it up.

Awesome kernel, really smooth. I think r72 is a winner for milestone before 4.2.2!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] iNSPiRE.DS:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r72

I did not try r70 or any earlier release of the kernel, having only installed r71 and now r72 so could it possibly be some issue that remained when updating from earlier releases?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ansysic:
Maybe it's a bug or I simply don't understand what the gamma values mean:

- stock r72 kernel settings, gamma 'whites' value is 114

- change this value to sth. like 115 with franco's app

- then change it back to 114

Now the display doesn't look like before, it's brighter and more washed out. Only a reboot resets colors back to stock.

Furthermore, some gamma values aren't linear. They are not like 0 is darkest and 255 is highest, in fact they are on maximum at around 127. Which leads to the question if 127 is the middle are 0 and 255 the same?

No it's not expected behaviour. I have stock ROM and get > 17.000 with r72. Use Franco app to set Governor to Interactive, and I/O scheduler to cfq, and undervolt all freqs by -125 mV (except 1026 MHz, -50mV on this one). Also turn off Logging in Franco app. If you want better than stock kernel performance with good battery life, download and flash Franco test kernel r61, it's 4 cores vs. 2+2 cores. With a little bit of tweaking, you can get > 18.000 AnTuTu Scores and still close to 5 hours screen on time... :D

Ok, I'm getting worried now, I must have done something wrong. As I wanted to go back to the stock kernel, I followed these steps from post #1:

AOSP build - 100% unmodified

Download: http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/AOSP_builds/mako/

In Recovery it gave an error message (something like "context_file not found") but it continued. When booting, "Android" appears on screen but still nothing after 15 minutes ... I turned off the phone and tried to boot in recovery (I managed to access fastboot) but if I press power button on option "Recovery mode", it shows Android icon lying on the ground with red exclamation mark. After 2 minutes again it reboots with "Android" on screen ... Now I'm stuck.

It seems I can't get into Recovery mode ...

Thanks for your help :confused:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Zoccat:
This > 20.000 Score is better than stock ROM 18.000 in RAM, CPU integer and CPU floating results. Obviously those "bionic" patches make better use of the CPU hardware.

4.2.2 is approaching (and our milestone kernel also) and I would like to flash it through recovery to save myself from going back to stock recovery and kernel and push it through ota.

So the only thing is to get the kernel back in stock and push it through CWM (or any other), right?

Please correct any errors:

1. Download stock kernel from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024982

2. Flash it in recovery.

3. Boot into android.

4. Go from root explorer to system/lib/hw and

i) Delete power.msm8960.so

ii) Remove .fkbak extension from power.msm8960.so.fkbak so it looks like, power.msm8960.so

iii) Fix the permissions to rw-r--r--

5. Reboot

Then flash the update from recovery and install the best kernel out there again. :o

The architectural differences between an x86 and an ARM wouldn't change the leakage resulting from the Poole-Frenkel effect. However one would be better at having a lower effect from the Poole-Frenkel effect. Since one processor can (and does) have less and more tightly packed semi conductors. Heat would still apply to and increase the power drain regardless of how great the effect is. So anything to lower heat would increase battery life (also the reason why I'm strongly considering removing the case from my N4).

Just a heads up: the gamma stuff is still a WIP, I thought I nailed it yesterday but it proves more complicated than it looks so don't ask for this, it will be done when its done.

In the mean time, here we go r14:

* Compiled with more GCC flags for some noticeable performance improvements - placebo or not me and minooch both felt improvements

* Improved Thalamus Hotplug routines timings: Increase sampling time to decrease the number of onlines/offlines; tweak the values for onlining and offlining a single core; instead of staying 2 seconds without offlining cores (after they are either all online or it called boostpulse), they now stay for 5 seconds to reduce onlining/offlining, and it also provides a bigger boost if the device needs that extra burst of performance power for at least those 5 seconds.

* Increased interactive hispeed_freq to 1026MHz

* Tweaked gamma values a little bit by reverting one of Google's previous patches - whites look whiter, yellows and greens are a little bit less strong. Overall in my opinion it looks much more vivid.
