Oh THAT. You could've been more specific I actually don't have that code anymore but basically you need to do this changes:

1 - Remove the sockets interface (its only used to interact with mpdecision).

2 - Change the path to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/boostpulse

3 - Change touch_boost to write 1 to the boostpulse path

Should be done.

Question franco, there's a ton of msm_hsic patches.

Is the original code half baked?

Also, where are these patches coming from (who exactly is Code Aurora and how do they relate to Linux Foundation)? I've tried their site but it did not really get me to understand at all. Are patches like this in a process for merge by Linux or Google?

I'm just a curious semi-dev.

Thanks!.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
again, very much appreciate your analysis.

but like I said I have tried removing almost all apps except the normal google ones (all location settings related stuff are off already) and had similar amount of hsic wakelocks.

and coinciding with this, another user from US also reported that his hsic wakelocks are a lot higher when he travelled to Taiwan and Hong Kong and his thought is it may be due to the fact of highly congested data traffic

nonetheless, I may try to do it just another time removing more apps to test it.

thanks man. :good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r86

I guess the 90 or 99 is irrelevant, if you set a lower high speed, you will want to have a lower load. We had times having a lower hi speed and higher load threshold. Through experiments we found out that this 99 setup is best for our use so it is 99.

Been running r85 today. Had been noticing some choppiness overall, even when set to quad-core mode. But I am missing the modified Power HAL file, so that must be it. This new version definitely reduced the msm_hsic_host wakelocks when using 3G. About 20m in 9 hours. Under Wi-Fi, it has been non-existent since 4.2.2 even with stock kernel. Downloading r86 now, great work!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just leave it.

The original code is not half baked at all.

Codeaurora is Qualcomms repository. These patches are for their hardware, it got nothing to do with Linux Kernel. Their desire, or not, to merge them into upstream is something I'm not aware of, sorry.

I'm using the threshold for testing at 85 and I'm using an aluminium laptop cooler with vents to prevent the device overheating, though with the crystal back I see little to no effect on the cooling pad.

Something is setting that up for you, its Interactive for the last 3 nightlies.

And this wakelock story is starting to get boring. The wakelock is there for some reason. If its Google's fault they will fix it, there will be a release in January to fix lots of bugs in the current version. If its not their fault just let it go.

Hi,

Awesome feedback and tests ;)

Detailed, explained with screenshots... if feedbacks were all like that (and not only about a GPU test)...

Sometimes a simple benchmark app can confirm the result above, and vice versa (for those which have noticed a drop in 3D score in Antutu and for the one who reply something like: "benchmark blablabla") :D

Maybe in the general UI it's not noticiable, but for those who use their phone for playing... and this shows that some patches are not necessarily beneficial after all.

Thanks again for these tests ;)

Just reporting on francos patches so far using his r86

Msm wake is at 1.6 compared to 1.3 from r85 however outside conditions may be a factor.

I did notice radio interface wake is at 2% compared to 4-5% which is an improvement.

My % without signal has improved a lot which is very nice to see. I have 5% showing today compared to 16+% other days.

I did notice a few times my phone switched over to edge service which seemed more than usual, but h comes back fairly quickly. I will be continuing to monitor this and report back.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] KingBeike:
Hey Franco,

i dont know why, but i experience some micro lags with your Kernel since a few versions in the launcher. Especially on the homescreen.

It doesnt matter if i use hotplug, dual core or quad core, ramp the frequenzies to maximum, set highspeed_freq to 1512.

Even with Quad-Core mode and minimum frequenzy 1,5Ghz the Homescreen isnt fluid.

There are no big lags, but if i switch between my 3 Homescreens then it does not look so fluid as it should.

It is a little bit like tearing on pc monitors while gaming.

The overall animation is smooth, but the widgets and the clock look distorted and micro laggy while the animation is in progress.

It is not launcher related! Tried Nova,Apex, Stock launcher.

I love your kernel and its battery life, but i hate a non fluid homescreen with a quad core monster.

turning fsync off , changing shedule to deadline or cfq or row arent the solution.

Maybe you can give me some advices to eliminate this micro lags? Or know how you could fix it?

With Stock kernel and trinity for example i dont have this problem, but i want to stay with your kernel, because i bought your app and love the battery life !
