Speaking of which, what governor does everyone use?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Interactive.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] qwahchees:
Ah I see. I'm usually using the "fancy" governors like intellidemand. I just moved from Faux's Kernel after some GPU OC issues that cause the GPU to run slower haha, but this kernel seems to be very stable, and the app is great.

Great job.

Also, just as a power user asking another, why didn't you include GPU OC's and lower CPU frequencies? Just out of curiosity, I'm not trying to tell you to add them but I guess you hate answering this question, haha :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] blsrbl:
Are you people undervolting? It's not working for me. I'm trying to undervolt more than 200 mv and no freeze!

Hey guys, I wanted to ask if anyone else was experiencing an issue where your computer cannot connect to your phone via wifi tethering, but will work via USB tethering.

I am on CM10.1, 8/1 Nightly

Franco's Kernel 165

Android 4.2.2

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Franco has answered this in the past and he hasn't inplemented GPU OC because there's no need for it. It would only cause the device to heat up faster while gaming. As for lower CPU frequencies, he doesn't want any problems with the device not waking up from sleep and the battery gain from this is too little.

That's what I remember from his reasoning, excuse me if there's something else to it.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] qwahchees:
I see, because I used to benchmark 487 V's 400 and I saw a 20 percent increase, but that's all synthetic. I also thought lower frequency meant a decent amount of battery savings, but I guess radios drain more on idle than cpu.

I do love the simple approach to the kernel, and definitely see what Franco is going for. Thanks!

I believe there's a limit and are you trying to have your n4 freeze? I undervolted by 60mv, seeing as the kernel alrwady uv'd.

I have had issues with wifi tethering but fixed it. If you're using Pimp my ROM make sure to turn off any networking tweaks, then try. If you're on LTE it won't work either.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Welcome :)

As been said I choose not to overclock the GPU because in my opinion a lot of the generated heat is due to the GPU high clocks. Stock behaviour doesnt benefit the battery that much and adding more clock isn't really what I had in mind. What I prefer is to optimise the code instead. I built some changes on top of faux'es Simple GPU governor implementation and Im quite happy of how the GPU is behaving, during gaming and out of gaming. The next release comes with more optimisations to the code path of the GPU governor :)

As for lower CPU frequencies Im pretty sure they do more harm than good and being so low will make cpufreq to ramp freqs to higher grounds.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] spupuz:
hi franco sorry asking about it i'm new in N4 kernel, do you think to support fast charge? actually i can't see it :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hughfollett:
It's supported, but not currently added :)

Inviato dal mio Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] qwahchees:
This kernel does support fast charge. Use the Franco kernel app or maybe you can echo it in terminal.

Ah, optimization over raw crunching power. That's awesome c: and thanks for the welcome. That's nice of you and the friendly community.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] blsrbl:
No. I started with 25 and ended with 200 with no freeze at all. That's why i wish it freezes :D to make sure UV is working.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] qwahchees:
That's insane, it should freeze. Maybe the settings aren't sticking then :c

Also Franco, I'd like your insight on this age old question. Would it be better to run all 4 cores at a lower frequency or 2 cores at a higher frequency. Based on performance and battery saving.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eluspo:
Bought the app to support Franco. Thanks!

On 4.2 i can only uv to -125 but now i can go -150. What sorcery is this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kenjiwing:
How do you all fix the glitchy screen issue with this kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] re4lsk:
Installing a JWR ROM. Or using the unofficial kernel for JSS builds.

ya im running the euroskank cm10.2 rom.. guessing this doesnt support it :-/ that sucks bc ive used francos kernel forever
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
You should read the thread..... theres a unofficial r173 for JSS15J. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387446

use that and it'll work on CM10.2 + Franco but keep your problems in the other thread as it is unsupported and unofficial :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Because I had disable a +25mV boost that qualcomm set on all freqs. On this 4.3 I didnt disable that, so you're running with +25mV than before, thats why you could undervolt further.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eluspo:
Thanks for the quick response. I had ticked some settings like logger, update refresh rate and auto data clearing but it seems whenever i reboot those settings doesnt stick to the app. Is it just me or the app?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kenjiwing:
Thank you very much :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] steviewevie:
The kernel isn't UV'd by default.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bill Gamble:
Don't check auto data clearing and your settings will stick.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eluspo:
Thanks for the info, but that setting clearly states that only when applying a new kernel. Does that mean every time i reboot my config gets reverted back to default even when im not flashing a new kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I think so. I'm not sure as I don't exactly remember. Coded it few months ago. I plan to write something better though, current solution is junky, bad and hacky, and I've hated it since I implemented it :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eluspo:
Okey i will just uncheck it for now, its no biggie for me at all. I just wanna confirm since i just bought the app today. Will use it again until further notice from you [MENTION=470754]Franco[/MENTION]
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
So after my challenge a few pages back I'm at 61% left with 2h screen on usage, half was 100% bright half was on auto brightness. Used Wi-Fi half of the time, 3G the other half. And started at 95%. Using 1,5GHz max freq and 1,5GHz touch boost freq. Not bad, great performance.

He possibly downloaded it, copied the apk with a root explorer app and then refunded the money. Or there could be another reason, but I know a disturbing number of people who do that.

Or he tried it, didn't think he could improve on stock colors / found stock colors good enough until the kernel updater gets the functionality, and refunded it.

Just downloaded and flashed build 6. I brought 2 N4's and gave one to my Fiancée who won't let me mess with her stock locked phone! Will give it a few days and should be able to do some none placebo comparisons between this kernel and stock.

Hey franco. Encountering some problems with the Nexus 4 Display Control app. Do we have to be on a franco kernel for it to work? I'm getting goofy results on faux kernel. If I move the middle slider to anything above 255, outlines appear around the text on my keyboard and a few of the widgets I use will have distorted colors and shoe the outline as well. The top and bottom sliders change the color a great deal, which wouldn't be an issue but I can move the middle slider above 255 without getting weird graphical bugs so I just have to keep everything on default. I initial uninstalled the app, but reinstalled it to give the another chance and now I can't refund it. I'd be willing to install your kernel, but I'd like to know if you think the kernel is causing these issues.

I'm on Faux123's latest kernel (001) and running ParanoidAndroid 2.99.

I would provide screen shots but the errors don't appear in screen shots (actually, none of the color changes appear in screen shots).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
I'm sure it's meant to be used with Franco's kernel
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] albundy2010:
There is no code involved. The ability to adjust the gamma is in the stock kernel.

Franco even said that is one of the main reasons he released the separate app first. To reach a broader audience then users of just his kernel and updater app.

It should work on any n4 kernel. Well at least anyone where somebody doesn't change/break the already included stock code. I wouldn't bet against cm changing the interface sooner or later for example.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ranguvar:
Same on Franco's kernel, I just use values <= 255.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] atticus182:
The color changer app works just fine (yeah I could have waited for the new Kernel app, but I like to have it asap)

Just trying to find the right values to lose the yellow tint but don't have a blueish glow on white backgrounds.

Currently I'm on 255,225,255, does anybody recommend other values to get it more balanced?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prod1702:
I am using 200,200,255. It makes the screen abit more blue on the whites but too me over all it the greens and reds look far better. I do also like the blueish white.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mrfrag1337:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yduck:
would you mind sharing how you fix the boot issue? I compiled the nexus 4 kernel (mako) from the google source code, unmodified, and it generated a zImage. then I did:

fastboot boot zImage

but the phone stuck at google logo screen, just as was described in this thread. is it because of the secure boot enabled or dose it have something do to with he way the kernel is packed? Do I need to pack the kernel zImage into a boot.img to make it boot?

I am still learning android kernel development, and help from you will be highly appreciated. I hope and I contribute to the community as you do.

Thanks a lot

If you flash like this: fastboot flash boot boot.img it never reverts to stock kernel on reboot.

So far test 24 is very nice. One of the main things i am seeing in my apartment is way better service. Maybe those HSIC patches did something. Maybe i am just seeing nothing. I have never been able to walk around my apartment and stay with 3+ bars, this test 24 i have yet to drop under 3 bar. No problems so far with test 24 will do more testing and see how it goes. Great work as always Franco.

Edit: Also to add the phone is doing things a lot faster as well. It feels like installing and uninstall apps with default kernel settings is a lot faster. There is a little less lag when moving around from the home screen to the app drawer as well.

Hi

The HTC One X when it was first released had all the same complaints regarding battery life as the Nexus 4 does now. I'm not making excuses for the Nexus 4, just that this trend of poor battery performance seems to be common with new phones until a few updates have been push through. As it seems common these days, devices are rushed out with the manufacturer knowing they can fix software issues later.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hmm no... Lets make an assumption:

Google tested the Nexus 4 with the current Stock code with 1000 employees. They had problems, they reported, the problems got fixed until there was no more problems.

Google released the device. Now hundreds of thousands of users have the device with different usages than the original hypothetical 1000 employees. Users are reporting the problems, Google will fix them on the next Android iterations.

There is a BIG difference between testing a product in a very small number of users and the real world big scheme of things.

Hey Franco. Just a bit of feedback on the app (posting here since I don't see an option to do so through the app):

Best settings for temperature management

While using a slimport adapter, my Nexus 4 temperature climbs quite high. Of course it's fine if Im not gaming or watching HD movies. I unplug it when the battery temp reaches 42C, at which point the CPU is also at about 60C. Those aren't especially damaging temperatures, but it would continue heating up if I let it go. What settings would you recommend to keep the temperature down? I already set the thermal throttle threshold to 37C and that doesn't seem to keep the temp down. I'm thinking it is because the GPU is causing the overheating, and the throttle doesn't actually affect the GPU? Hopefully someone understands what I'm asking.

Also does the throttle get triggered by the CPU temp or battery temp?
