Hello guys,

i have a problem with a color profile, i named it 'Óptimo' and now in the franco app shows as 'ÿtimo' and the app FC when i click on it (doesnt show the dialog to delete it).

I went to /data/data/com.franco.kernel/color_profiles and tried to delete it with Solid explorer (file was shown as '?ptimo') but it gives an error saying no such file or directory, same as if i try to delete ir from Terminal Emulator (when i do ls the name shown is 'ptimo' and same error when try to remove it)

any ideas on how can i remove that profile?

PS: Sorry if it have been already solved but im trying to use visceralpsyche's color profiles and in the app i cant set values of 255 at Black neither 200 saturation

You don't need cifs anymore really.

You can just use an smb server or share your network drive with dice player. Its a great app that supports just about every format.

CIFS is bascially enhanced SMB is it not? But I get your point, the same thing can be achieved.

Do you just hate CIFS for some reason or dont you use it enough to bother putting it in?

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r85

Those values have found to be invalid and outside the regular range (the real values seen by the kernel for those will have been different from 255/200). The possible values that it lets you set now (in the kernel app) are the only valid ones. If you will look back you will see that visceralpsyche posted some new values (try a search for just his posts).

Just for the record, I had similar problem with a profile I named 'über' (no quotes).

It looks like if you start the profile name with a non-English character, the saved file gets corrupted somehow.

- 16m hsic wakelock (3.6%) (previously around 10%)

- deep sleep time 88% (previously around 80% or lower)

Franco, it sure is big improvement provided that no one reports any data drop

there are none data drop for me so far since you released r85.

i've been testing since a month ago and I flashed the new radio some days ago and never got such great low hsic wakelock from franco until r85

.48 radio did NOT help me with the wakelock at all and I personally do not see any battery improvement at all from 4.2.2, as opposed to many other posted
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bradm23:
I had been getting between 4-5% msm_hsic wake with r83 and now with R85 I got 1.2%. I would say mission accomplished when it comes to that wake lock!

Been getting about 3-4 hours on screen time with 12-18 hours up time with all my test so far all on H+. Even though with Franco's kernels I do see that they can get choppy in some situations which I have seen with my Gnex also, I believe its just the aggressive settings?

I also wanted to share an app that another member mentioned in Trinity's page that will kill apps when they are asleep like facebook so they will not hold wake locks. We can finally have the ****ty FB app and not have to worry about it draining our battery when in deep sleep! Win to that! The app is called "Greenify"

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Franco- how does the "race to idle" play out with the N4? I know with the Gnex there was alot of debate on if a lower freq for min did more good than harm. I know the N4 stock min is 1026 and you added steps all the way down to 384. I came late to the party here, were the higher freq's tested to see if the race to idle played a factor with the N4 also? Seems like a big jump IMO, but what do I know.. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] halluci293:
Hi Francisco, I put together a gamma calibration test image in photoshop (attached) using the same dimensions as the calibration_test.gif image I extracted from the fku apk. I tested this out by replacing the image in your apk for now and it seems to work correctly (see screenshot, make sure you view at 100% size or the test pattern will alias on your screen).

Feel free to use it in your app if you'd like. For reference, top row is 75% luminance, middle is 50% luminance, and bottom is 25% luminance. These have been set so that if your gamma is calibrated to 2.2, you should not be able to distinguish the middle area from the surrounding in each box.

I can also create 2.0 and 1.8 gamma targets if you'd like (2.2 is pc (srgb) standard, 1.8 is mac standard, 2.0 is sometimes used as a halfway tradeoff)

Edit: Hmm... looks like the screenshot got butchered by xda's jpg conversion when I uploaded, it works fine in the real app :p

The gamma test image gif is still ok.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r85

I am getting great deep sleep. Battery line is just flat. First I thought data was really slow with r85, I was getting 50kb/s down and 3 KB/s up. So I reflashed PA 3 and checked it with stock kernel. I was getting same result, thought it was a ROM causing it, but after a while data is back to the fullest. Pa stock kernel had 1600kb/s, r85 got 2200kb/s. Fast data and Great battery. Thank you Franco.

Always was a Trinity fan on my GN, but on the N4 I have to go Franco, it's the smoothest to date. Wakelock was killing me on 83, but hopefully with this update I'll be good. I'll try it out tomorrow.

Here goes another release. I wasn't expecting to release so soon but I found a whole new batch of hsic patches so now that we are in the roll of testing them it seemed like a good idea to push the new kernel:

r86:

* Fixed a bug that was prevent the custom PowerHAL to be set properly

* Merged another handful of patches from Codeaurora in hope to improve even further the msm_hsic_host excessive wakelocks

* Merged an handful of GPU patches from Codeaurora that should improve performance and battery life at the same time

* Small code change to the Hotplug driver that now works in dedicated workqueues instead of using the general kernel queue list

I hope Miasmic makes another round of testing to see if the GPU driver changes helped on gaming.

Not to belabour the point of standby / sleep tests...but since there is still so much focus on msm_hsic, pardon me for using your stats for this post.

Perhaps you and others will completely disagree with me... but what I was saying was the opposite. IMO, standby time (and msm_hsic) is greatly influenced by apps. Don't simply look at the wakelock TIME percentages and don't simply focus on msm_hsic (e.g. ahalford speculates that it has simply been "re-classified" -- perhaps as radio).

Look at the wakelock with the highest COUNT as well because it will tell you how frequently your phone is waking. Your wakelock COUNT per hour (on Harsh and on r85) is at least 6x more than my setup on standby. On Harsh, you had 1 msm_hsic every 11 seconds!!! On r85, yours was 1 in 12 seconds while mine was 1 in 85 seconds (3g only). You had 1 radio wakelock every 23 seconds while I had 1 in 15 minutes (which coincides nicely with some keepalive values.)

My wake% was ~2% while yours was ~12%. My batt drain has usually been <0.5% per hour while yours was 1.6% per hour. Even though r85 seems to have reduced wake times by 1/2 (from r83), since we were both on r85 you can no longer ignore the impact of apps and their "offline" usage pattern. If you wish to improve standby times, I would be trying to find which app is waking up the phone every 12 seconds and see if there are any alternatives. (Try freezing likely culprits -- including gTalk and location reporting -- to see which one has the most impact on wakelock count.)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] halluci293:
One last test image that you can mod into fku to replace the calibration test image. This one is continuous rgb+gray gamma throughout the whole luminance range, both horizontal orientation and vertical orientation to be safe (does anyone know if the subpixel layout for the N4 is RGB when held in normal upright position, or RGB in landscape mode?). If you can get all of the bars to blend in everywhere, your gamma should be pretty close to perfectly calibrated for 2.2 in all settings.

My settings, starting from visceral's and tweaked to achieve almost perfect gamma with my test image:

R 200

G 190

B 185

Grays 0

Mids 23

Blacks 119

Contrast 0

Brightness 8

Saturation 23

Whites 0

Gamma is stable across the brightness slider with these settings, and I see smooth gradient transitions throughout the range with no banding. Subjective contrast and saturation is somewhat less than many of the other settings here though, but I couldn't find any way to get more contrast/saturation without banding or significant gamma deviations in certain ranges.

Edit: All of the test images I made are now officially released in Franco's kernel updater app!

These are still my recommended settings, and get me closest to completely blended bars in the gamma test image. (The fourth one if you click through in fku).

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ahalford:
I'm not speculating, that's first. Do me a favor, don't tell me how to calculate wakelocks. I was talking about certain results for the couple of hours, and it may differ due to various reasons, starting with network conditions and ending by apps behavior - and it's never linear. Then - yes, apps are triggering wakelocks, but it's netto stated under "Power manager service" and detailed under "Partial wakelocks" and "Raw alarms". msm_hsic may be bigger or smaller in amount, than Power manager service, hence there is no proven correlation between those two. It can be related, it can be not. Also, I'd would gladly listen to your explanation why wi-fi & 3g results are different with same setup.
