Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r83

I'll try it. Thank you for the tip!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rivermind:
I'm having some weird issues with my gamma settings not sticking (all of them, not just the saturation. I know why that was happening). I had to reboot my phone this morning (running r82) and after rebooting it would only use the default color settings. After setting my custom colors again with the kernel updater app, they revert after pressing back and hitting gamma settings again. At this point I'm really confused because just yesterday I was using the custom gamma settings just fine with r82. I then updated to r83 and had the same issue with gamma settings not sticking. I force stopped the app and cleared out all application data (in case something got corrupted) and tried again, with no luck. :confused:

Any ideas?

edit: I'm not doing anything shady with init.d scripts that would screw this up.

edit 2: nvm this post. For some odd reason SuperSU was set to always deny Franco's app. No idea why. Working fine now.

WiFi issues ?

Hi all,

A common problem with Nexus 4 is that, after a certain amount of time with screen off, the WiFi drop its connection until th screen is on again. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40065

I was running 4.2.1 (Bionic V3) with r71 (for about a week) and I was NOT having this issue at all. My WiFi was always connected.

Now, I upgraded to stock 4.2.2 with r82 and I am having this issue.

Do you guys having this issue or not ?

Super thanks !

Some kernels are just not meant for everyone or at least their phone..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] g47:
I was pretty happy with my undevolting, having a fast binned cpu and having uv @ -150mV.

But I noticed the photo that was posted here with some colored blocks and I tested that myself.

Under certain conditions, especially of high contrast there were these blocks on my photos too.

I slowly increased the voltage and the problem was less vissible but still on some photos it was there.

Only when I reached the stock ones (@850 mV the first value) I was able to completely eliminate this.

Its a same because everything else was working perfectly but as it seems I cant uv. :(

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r83

Gaming performance is noticeably better on r83. After 45 min of MC4, the phone only got to 32°C (from 20), whereas on r82, it would be closer to 40. Also, fps rates are much more constant on the new revision, especially on demanding 3d games (namely, MC4 and epic citadel).

Thanks Franco!

Ok I just uploaded a new build: http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/boot-3.img

Things to look for which I really need feedback (this is why having no device feels kinda **** for building stuff):

* I've set Interactive as the default governor, please check if thats happening or not

* Check to see if the min freq is 384MHz and max is 1512MHz

* If Interactive is the default how does the device feel compared to Ondemand

* IO benchmarks, better or worse than stock

Waiting for feedback, thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Simer03:
Interactive is the default, with deadline as the scheduler, however the mix frequency was actually set to 1026, max is 1512....Interactive seems very smooth, but ondemand did as well....havent checked benchmarks though
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] harpo1:
Yeah but if you watch the cpu scaling in set cpu or rom toolbox it scales the entire range from 384 to 1512.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] lamlux:
Runs super smooth to me, even if not much has changed, it just does feel smoother in everyday actions.

Like before mentioned, it is on interactive, and scales all the way up and down on speeds.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] whittikins:
I'm about to test this, but I was curious if you have adjusted the thermal throttling? Also, should I be using your app to check these values you're asking about? I wasn't sure if it was ready for the N4 or not. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kabauterman:
Min 1026 Max 1512 from SetCPU and francoapp

Interactive feels pretty smooth deadline is scheduler

Cpu is a lot more over 1000 then in ondemand if i set the min max by myself.

SD card is same in antutu
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sarni84:
Yea it would definitely be cool if we could lock frequency's so it don't scale back down after a few benchmarks. Or just have the thermal temp adjusted. Idk if that's even possible. I'm sure Franco can do it though..... Also touch screen feels more responsive idk if placebo but my biggest thing was the keyboard you had to tap it kind of hard.. Feels better

Sorry to post again, but I don't see any responses to my post #13882 (I just searched for 'animation'). I want to have Franco's boot animation. I do see others here who have the opposite problem....they have Franco's but want to get rid of it and go back to the 'X'..

I have the option checked in Franco's app. I renamed the original boot animation in /system/media/bootanimation.zip (just to have it in case I want it back). I do not have any version of it in /data/local. When I boot, instead of the 'X', I just see the word 'android'. The description in Franco's app for this options says "You need internet connection for this". If my internet was somehow slow in connecting, would that prevent the kernel from downloading this? Maybe I'm misinterpreting, and I need to download Franco's animation. But that doesn't sound like what other posts are saying. Sorry if I'm missing something very obvious!

There is a difference between hybrid and full 4.2.2, hybrids are 4.2.2 emulated but are still 4.2.1 a good example to test it is if you flash a kernel meant for 4.2.2 and you get stuck on the boot screen.
