If I flash this with stock 4.4 will I also need to apply some sort of colour fix?

If so, what's the best/simplest way to do so?

Anything else I need to know/consider?

PS: I'm just after a bit better battery life and smoother UI - will this kernel help/make much difference?

Thanks in advance...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] aalvico:
To use a color profile be sure gamma button on top right is on and to set kernel settings long press individually after change it to set on boot
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ponczoszek:
when im listening to music on my headphones (poweramp), I can hear some cracks from time to time... didn't mess with settings just lowered UV to my previous lvl (-125) and capped max freq to 1k mhz, weird didnt happen earlier
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nileshgr:
No color fix needed.

Battery life, read OP.

I am on stock krt16s and color presets are applied on boot without having to tick any option (which btw has never been existent when it comes to color settings, these seem to be exclusive for cpu settings). However I couldn't manage to make it work on latest PSX. Stock settings are getting restored on every boot.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] adnan.selimagic:
Is anyone having problem with color profile reset to default for no particular reason ?

I'm on r194. To fix this I need to set it again.

Go to the gamma or rgb tab and turn the top right switch on. It's not very intuitive, but that is how to make a color profile stick.

Battery life on stock KK was horrible for me. Switched to ART and performance and battery life is better. Gonna try FK and ART together tomorrow after a full day of just stock with ART today. Seems like things will be hugely improved.

There seems to be a problem with FKU displaying loaded colour profiles.

I'm on r194. When loading a colour profile, the RGB values don't already to change. The gamma values don't seem to have changed either when you go to the gamma tab, it shows you what you last looked at, assuming you don't touch the screen. But if you scroll down that list of gamma values and then back to the top again, the values have changed after all. It seems to be some sort of display refresh issue.

Edit - I just tried something else. The RGB values are loaded correctly but not displayed correctly - again it shows the old value. If you kill FKU and then restart it, it shows the new values OK.

Is there a way to update by OTA to 4.4 coming from stock with franco kernel ? I was trying to update but the installation fails and this message appears:

"/system/lib/hw/power.msm8960.so" has unexpected contents
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
Navigate to the directory using a root explorer or similar and look for a backup version of the file (.bak). Delete the backup file and try the

OTA again.

Sent from the singletrack....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alkhafaf:
Thanks alot for the reply.

Can you tell me what is this file exactly? and there is a problem if I delete it ? it seems unfunctional since it is a backup file.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
If I remember correctly, the file is responsible for the PowerHAL which will boost the CPU frequency in response to the touch of the UI. Franco uses his unique algorithm to manage the CPU frequency (number of cores, timings, CPU freq, etc.) and present the smooth response of the screens. Since the file is a backup, it will not be called by the OS. If you are unsure of deleting the file, you can move the file to another directory or copy it to a PC for safe keeping. The OTA is looking for specific files to be present in directories before it can be applied.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] boltthrower56:
I got excited when i first saw it and everyone was nagging about the Sources not being pushed to the repos , i thought maybe compile one of my own after the sources get to the repos but i don't really know what to add that hasn't already been added to more professional kernels such as Franco or Trinity...

Seriously the only reason i bought the n4 was just so that i could develop freely (coming from an LG Optimus 3D , OTAs , Sources ,Customer Service... all MIA) but there is absolutely nothing that i could think of.

So , no support for kitkat yet , hope franco didn't ditch us for the n5 , just recently bought the app to support him.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Paragon_X:
K guys flame me all you want but I read through the thread and I'm still having problems making the settings stick. Everyone says long press settings and then you'll see option set on boot. Well I long press kernel settings and app settings but nothing. Can someone just outline what's going on? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
In general, long press the individual values of the option that you are changing. For example, if you wanted to decrease the maximum CPU freq, long press the entry after you have lowered the value and the option to set at boot will appear.

Not all "set at boot" are at need at the individual entry level. If you have changed the undervolting values, long press the "Voltage Control" selection (instead of the individual voltage/speed values) to set at boot.

Best thing to do is experiment where/when you can "long press" to set at boot. Just remember, you cannot really hurt anything by long pressing the entries.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Paragon_X:
It's the individual values! Thanks. I was pressing the settings in the slide out left column. Derp.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alkhafaf:
thank bro.

Any tips to delete this read-only file ?

thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] adnan.selimagic:
Thanks for replay. That switch is turned on. I can set my color profile and it sticks for some time. But than all of the sudden color is reset to default value. To fix it I need to load the profile again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
Use a "root" file manager (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer Manager - both can be downloaded free from the Play Store) to access the system directories. You will need to make sure that you enable the root feature of the managers to be read/write - very important. Without the R/W enabled, the file appear to be read only.

ES File Explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

Root Explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer

Astro File Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro

Good luck!

Not sure if its the ROM 17-11-2013 or Franco kernel r193 but when I get a call and talk to the person while the screen is blank sometimes the phone will hang up on the caller. The problem seems to be the sensor since it does not happen when I use the speaker and the phone is not on my face.

Anyone else have this issue and a possible solution?

so the 3G battery drain is because of the ROM, not the kernel? so sad :( I dont want to switch back to 4.3.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Maybe you should try going LTE... It's so much more efficient than 3G... Just flash one ZIP file and your done..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] flaviofavila:
Is there anyway to run Franco Kernel r194 and have OTG at the same time?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] BungleMX:
But you need a data plan and chip for LTE isn't it? or just the zip makes 3G more efficient?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gharrrrrr:
Yes you need a plan that allows 4G LTE. The Nexus 4 can do LTE on Band 4 LTE. Which in US means T-Mobile (and I think a few places even AT&T). Also need a hybrid radio (.27 or .33) right APN settings and proper build.prop entries.

Do anyone know how to activate the USB fast charge on the latest release of FRANCO UPDATER.? I saw the settings but there it shows 0 number on the USB fast charger option.

I think everyone should buy the Franco updater to unleash the real power of android.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Does anyone here undervolt? What is the safest level I should go to? I'm going to experiment myself but would love your feedback.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Just flash the ZIP and that's it... If you have Tmobile or AT&T you should get LTE with no issues... The data plan includes LTE already... Here's a link to download the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1jh6u7q3hdizjh/33_84hybridLTE_enablerV2.zip

It works.. But if you have any issues check the thread..

It differs from chip to chip.

There's a complete thread on UV somewhere, find it out. I think in general section.

My experience: I face signal issues, so I stay away from UV.

Do I just flash the franco zip over stock 4.4 and that's it. Do I need to wipe out can I dirty flash ??
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Just flash..

Many folks here undervolt ! I am at -100mv across the board, makes the phone run cooler. At more than -100mv my phone crashes / reboots, especially if I go into the camera app. YMMV.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
194 freezes a lot compared to the stock kernel, I'll come back for Franco when it's a bit more usable/stable.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] steviewevie:
What ROM? I presume you're using a 4.4 ROM because that's what r194 is based on.

I'm on stock 4.4 and r194 has been rock solid for me.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
I'm on Purity and no issues either. Much smoother than stock kernel too. I'd assume he's talking about deadlocks and using it on a 4.3 JSS rom.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pihkal:
Hi,

I'm on the latest Cataclysm nightly (21 November/ kitkat), flashed Franco Kernel (r194, kitkat) and noticed Wifi wasn't working (probably due to the Prima driver but didn't think of that at first).

So I rebooted to TWRP, wiped Dalvik and cache, fixed permissions and rebooted (yeah, I know this was pointless).

The phone booted, showed it was optimizing the apps and bam...black screen.

Can't turn on the screen, can't reboot, can't ADB into it because the computer doesn't see the damn phone, can't do anything.

My only option would be removing the battery, trying to boot into recovery or fastboot and reflash.

I'm using Franco Kernel ever since I got my Nexus (long time ago), even bought the FKU app and nothing bad ever happened until today....

It always was a great kernel and I assume it still is, I just can't figure out what went wrong...

Of to the store to buy some torx screwdrivers...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xFuGiToiDx:
You didn't need to flash the depriminator zip for franco 194. It already supports 4.4 KitKat, find the priminator zip and flash it before the kernel and see if it works. If it doesn't reflash ur ROM and then flash r194 by itself, no need to wipe cache and dalvik also.

Use the wugfresh root toolkit to flash the factory image. Try enabling USB debugging
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Jazavchar:
I just want to confirm something. r194 is using the stock WiFi drivers from the KRT16S kernel, right?

questions about the double tap 2 wake:

1. Why isn't it in the FKU app?

2. After some idle time, I need to press the screen 3 times instead of 2? why is that?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
1. Because of #2.

2. Seriously, the feature is in alpha status, buggy, and can freeze your phone. Francisco will not add the setting to FKU until he has time to properly implement the feature. It's only there in the kernel as a proof of concept, and indeed very promising, but not ready for prime time.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Depends on what ROM you're using... I'm using Cataclysm and didn't have to do anything else aside from selecting LTE/GSM from the dialer (*#*#4636#*#*) on phone information.

Also if you're on T-Mobile, make sure your APN says FAST. T-MOBILE. COM

What the ZIP does is to add the correct lines on your build.prop to enable the LTE radio... But some ROMs you have to still change the radio settings manually like I just explained.

PM me if you have any questions since this is a Kernel thread ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bexem:
Hi! This is my first time with this kernel and related app, I've got a question: What means "hotplug/cores_on_touch"? Max core online or a sort of "touch boost"? "Suspend frequency" is the frequency (max or locked at?) for the cores (how many?) in case of an wakelock? Sorry for the questions =)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
Cores_on_touch is a parameter that sets how many cores should be active when the screen is turned on. By default, only 2 cores should online during screen on. More cores should only come online when it is needed, if not, only 2 cores should be online.

Suspend frequency is the maximum frequency the phone should operate at when the screen is turned off. During screen off, normally the phone should only have 1 core running to deal with background tasks.

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gtanner00:
I'm having a problem where once all cores are forced online, they no longer drop back down after reduced load. I am using the default configuration of the interactive governor. Any help is much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
Seems to be a known issue, I've been experiencing it intermittently, comes and goes. Sometimes it acts normally, other times it suddenly onlines all the cores with no reason.

It seems to also be linked to the music stuttering issue as well.

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gtanner00:
Thanks, figured as much. I already knew that Franco only posted 194 to placate us before he went on holiday. When he gets back it will be fixed.

In the meantime, I've taken to running one of his competitor's builds.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
Pretty much, what are you running right now?

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
You may want to correct suspend frequency is for screen off
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
Oh fail, thanks for catching the error, just fixed my typo xP ... I derped lol.

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gtanner00:
Running faux. Was testing out the differences between the default setup and the recommended settings in the first post and found that the defaults are much smoother than the recommended. It makes it very confusing for someone who doesn't want to tune individual governors or even know what everything does.

Makes me like Franco's tuned governors a lot more :D

I also find that faux hotplugs up and down way more often than Franco which is supposed to be bad for battery, so I set it to dual core mode which works quiet well.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
Yes constant cores on and off is a waste of battery.

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
And there is a little stutter when they turn on and off
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deltatux:
Yes that's true, that may also be why there's the music stutter, I think KitKat might have affected franco's hotplug driver somehow.

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gtanner00:
Yeah he never did any extensive extensive testing so consider this almost an alpha release built on top of jellybean.
