If that is the case, he should provide details so that the dev can understand under what conditions possibly the kernel is facing these lags. Saying that it lags and he is going back to stock, is worse than not providing a feedback. [who knows what all he was running then?]

As you can see, there are far more people who feel r53 to be the best version and very smooth overall.

You've basically reduced the load needed to ramp up frequency's. So yes, but definitely look it all up as you can do a lot more.

Search the Gnex thread of Franco's kernel, there's loads of info especially from Osmosis and Yellowdie.

Thing is, after a reboot the media scanner runs for a little while (depending on the amount of media in the device) and during that time the device is under stress (happens in all devices since ****ing ICS specially because they binded fuse mounted partitions etc), then in the first swipes and the first time apps are open they build the caches so the first time seems laggy, but its not.

Hey Franco,

Have you modified the touch driver, or anything related?

I'm asking this because I have always been using this mod which flashes the older touchscreen driver (E015) which has MUCH better touch sensitivity. The thing is, when flashing this with your kernel, after ~30 mins the touch starts behaving REALLY strange when swiping etc...

For now I'm not using this mod until I figure out what is causing the weird touch issue... (it didn't use to happen a week ago with the same mod)...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xploder270:
To me, r47 seems like a better compromise between performance and battery.

Sticking with that for now :good:

Temple Run 2 and CF-Bench perform very well on r53 and battery life is amazing - my problem is smoothness under light load, like scrolling through widgets, menus or using gesture typing.

Looking forward to optionally have the second core online while swiping like it was in r47.

Which is exactly franco's point. It is possible that the people who were reporting battery drain 10 mins after flashing [ :eek: ] or people reporting the phone to be laggy are telling that based on the initial few mins of the boot . It may be that , after that, they might not face any such lag issues.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] iammudd:
Yes, flashaholics also need to take into account the battery drain per reboot or time in recovery (which isn't captured by batt stats).

From before/after stats, it seems I average 2% battery drop while flashing rom, gApps, and kernel, wipe Dalvik/cache, and re-optimize apps takes about 4%.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Utini:
So here are my stats after one day of r53:

11h 50 minutes uptime

- 1h 11 minutes display on

-- 21 minutes Temple run 2

--- Mediaserver active for totally 43 minutes (maybe also due listening to some music)

48% life left

cpu spy:

1512 MHz: 14 mins - 2%

1350 Mhz: 4 mins - 0%

1188 MHz: 7 mins - 1%

1026 Mhz: 31 mins - 4%

702 MHz: 4 mins - 0%

540 MHz: 6 mins - 0%

384 MHz: 1h 50 mins - 15%

Deep SLeep: 8h 5 mins - 74%

So I think my batter life is worse compared to other reportings ?!

At the same time I noticed some very minor mini lags during temple run 2.. which makes me wonder since the CPU hasn't been on max. speed during the whole temple run 2 time ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Already thanked 15 times today :'(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Why do you need the CPU on max during gaming? Games tax the GPU if properly done, CPU not that much. What I want to do in the future is lock the CPU speed to a certain level in the GPU is busy, but I haven't had much luck finding where to fetch for busy status in the GPU drivers for Mako.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Utini:
Well I just know from desktop games -> Some games need a good gpu, others rely more on the CPU. Since I had some minor mini lags I thought it was a bug with the CPU since it didn't get to its possible limit.

Anyway, I wonder why my battery stats are worse than others.. i mean ppl say 7h screen on with 20% loss.. I don't seem to get close to that.

Making CPU & GPU working together like that makes sense :)

Ok for troubleshoot purposes I now provide a unmodified AOSP build in the OP. Its compiled from the master branch and has 0 modifications, just exactly as it is from Google repos.

If you desire to use it as daily rom a link for a gapps package from rascarlo will be linked in the OP as well.
