r34 has been exceptional:

3 days and 14 minutes with 14% battery left!!

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

did you actually use your device though? So that we can gauge the level of usage what was the Screen on time?

Reason I ask is that I currently also have 14% remaining, but I'm on 46-test and have only 11 hours with just over 4 hours screen on.... although I also installed a new ROM/kernel version, performed a few recovery tasks and rebooted twice.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fetto666:
Hi,

Yeah, my on-screen time is abysmal.

Thanks Franco!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Hi all, Franciscofranco,

I'll receive my Nexus 4 in the end of the next week (I'm haaaaappy!!!! :p) and I already know what kernel I'll use...: franco.kernel ;)

Glad to see you again here (since the Galaxy Nexus, S III and now the Nexus 4).

But to be patient now...

;)

Habemus smoothness! r47-test is up, only 1 change to make the device melting butter during scrolling or moving the finger 100px away from the original position. I hope everyone feels it :)

I'm getting a lil more than that with screen at 70% , data, GPS, sync all on , Google now is on only for weather , battery bout the same as my Gnex with this kernel , stock i was only getting 2.5 , alot less heat with Franco kernel I blame for better battery ;)

So your battery life is very good for these types of phones , people getting 5 hours are not using full value of the phone

Don't usually really bother with the "look what my battery did" posts but I feel the need to break that trend.

I've been running Franco's kernels since he first started on the Galaxy Nexus so I know how good they are.

On r46 i'm getting 3 hours of screen on time on 100% brightness which is an outstanding achievement considering what I was getting on stock (I can squeeze about another 45 minutes if I drop the brightness to 50%)

However I have never on either of my Nexus's had my sleep do this...

When I went to bed.....

And when I got up (it was actually still on 47% until I started messing)

Top work as always :good:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zFayZz:
From my daily use of franco kernel i learned that when its sleeps battery never drops like its frozen in ice lol but when in use it drains and you can see it drop after light use.. While am typing this i lost 2-3% battery which is not good when my data gps and my brightness is low.. Only thing in use was wifi..

Using stock cm10 kernel i notice huge improvements in battery but i think this kernel focuses in having the best battery performance when in use regardless of battery use..but franco kernel is great if you like to lock your phone forever
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Not on my device. That seems like your battery is all whacked and its not reporting the correct %. You're going to ask me to help you, but I can't, I don't have your device to take a look. Anyway cm kernel = stock kernel btw.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fluffenforliberty:
What I can tell, build 47 is much smoother when using the notification drawer, but still a bit choppy and slow in the settings menu, Falcon Pro, Instagram etc. Always seems it's just me that don't feel the butter. But this is one of the better builds even if flinging/kinetic scrolling still aint butter

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

I swear I come here and spend like hours reading through these threads and man, you learn a lot. Not going to lie, reading actually helps. I don't get why people don't do this more often really.

Instead we get people complaining why a certain feature isn't on the kernel. Like what? Lol there's like 5 other kernels I seen and they're all really damn good. Go flash them and see which ones good for you.

Not trying to start anything with anyone, seriously. We all just need to open our eyes and see what's in front of us. I wonder if you guys have really noticed that XDA, isn't for the average user. Its development and testing. Finding out what's good for you, learning from each other. I hope you guys learn that one day.

Oh and BTW Franco, still loving the kernel man. R46 isn't as warm as the last few releases. Typing on my keyboard is a little laggy still, especially in landscape mode. But other than that, real solid dude. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I have no lag in both of those apps :crying:

Yep, thats right. Without that I imagine the battery life would take a hit. But its every smoother than r46 while interacting with the screen, no doubt.

Reading is knowledge! Try r47-test!

right now Franco stable is running test builds... see OP, when he thinks they're stable enough they'll become nightly, then stable release. Get it? Do if he made new test builds, he IS putting out the next kernel... Just watch the thread for feedback.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

r47 doesn't feel as smooth for me. Especially if I allow the screen to scroll by itself after flinging. (If you let go of the screen after flinging it). It tends to stutter quite a bit (even using chrome beta, which was smooth using r46).

I'm using the new defaults. I'll keep on testing r47 despite my initial impressions, although I can see myself reverting back to r46 in due time, as the performance dip is extremely obvious.

As always many thanks for taking the time to push the kernel forward! :good:

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

Adjust go_hispeed_freq until it feels good. Also you can go to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/boostpulsetime (something like that) and increase the value so it stays boosted for longer after you release the finger from your screen. Let us know about your findings.

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

Tested r47 for a while and honestly I didn't find any obvious change in smoothness compared with 46. Maybe the previous is already very smooth. But the very aggressive 98 go high speed setting is very bold. May have significant impact on battery time. Will see what it like.

There really is value added benefit to Franco's app. We all like free... but Franco really does put A LOT of effort & time into the kernels, along with an open mind to suggestions... and all the kernels are free. Plus with the app you get the nexus 4 screen color tuner built in. If you like playing with your gadget it's worth it. He's also frequently updating the app, like in the future, it'll have a new kernel notify feature. :)

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

I think you're confusing the value as being higher and using more battery when in reality the higher the value the less your processor will ramp up hence saving the battery not using it more.

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

From github commits, franco added an input boost to 1k freq along with the previous 2nd core online.

Make sense to me for best interactive experience without stock keeping freq at 1k the whole time.

No longer need to rely interactive go-hispeed for boosting for UI smoothness. I believe i read in interactive governor documentation go-hispeed-load supposed to be 90+ anyways to prevent oscillation .

Much smoother on initial boot:) compares to stock, badly written apps like tapatalk and whatsapp msg scroll smooth now :) thanks franco, hopefully battery doesnt take too much of a hit.

You using superuser or SuperSU?

If your using superuser, flash this:

It gets rid of superuser and installs SuperSU. After flashing, reboot and go to play store, update SuperSU and then open it and update the binary. Your settings should stick. If not let me know.

I went back to stock kernel yesterday and did a little push notification tests.

On each test I lock my phone and allow my phone to idle for 15 minutes, then send an email or Whatsapp message using another phone. Wifi sleep policy is set to 'Never'.

Using stock kernel, average delay time is 5 minutes on both mobile data and Wifi. It means that when I send a message to my idle phone, most of the time it will rings after 5 minutes. Sometimes a little bit faster or slower.

Using franco r34, push notifications haven't arrived to my phone even after 15 minutes both on mobile data and Wifi. Sometimes it can go as fast as 10 minutes, and sometimes more than 20 minutes. I noticed that after I unlock my idle phone, sometimes my signal bar and Wifi bar turn grey. THERE is an internet connection even though the bars are grey (I can browse). But emails and Whatsapp messages push notifications only arrive when the bars turn blue again.

Push notifications are definitely delayed on both kernel when the phone is idle, but stock kernel is way faster at receiving them. Whether to choose faster notification or better battery life is up to you.

This is just my experience, take it with a grain of salt.
