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

If those 30 minutes was while your phone was standby (screen off), I think it's possible. People report that after one sleep, their franco'd N4 only lose about 7-15%. And if I remember it right, Franco once said that he hadn't lost a single percent of battery after sleeping (don't remember with which release though).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
That should be a good thing. If you're not using it and it's just sleeping, it's not using any power so why would the battery level decrease? It takes my phone 4 to 6 hours to decrease 2 to 3 percent of battery life during deep sleep. Now that's amazing!

I'm getting real bad battery usage on R83. So far today I have 6 hours and 40 minutes with 1 hour and 9 minutes of screen on time since charge and I am down to 50%.

Just flashed r82 to last the last 50% and see how it compares.

Today is the first day I have seen RILJ in better battery stats \ Partial Wakelocks, and it is #1 with 39 counts.

I read on an old thread via google that a possible fix for high RILJ is to enable airplane mode, reboot then disable airplane. Seems goofy so instead I just reverted back to r82 and set a custom reference in BBS to see what happens.

*edit* just noticed that somehow location via cellular/wifi was enabled, this normally is disabled along with gps disabled...but I re-enabled it to compare the 2 kernels*
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sga999:

Hi

I have 9h 19m on r83 with 1h.10 screen 46% battery left. 4h on 3g and the rest on wifi and heavy usage ( benchmarks, recovery flash for some mods, restart the phone 5 times ) UV-100 and brightness on auto.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hanny:
w00t, my test is ready in a few more minutes

1) Is the tunable applied even without screen off and on? In my tests for safety I did screen off on after changing the value but as I have observed, it applies even without.

2) the "hot" and "cool" of the throttle driver is based on a set value or the "closeness" to the throttle threshold set by the user? just wondering, guess its the later one.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
1 - Its a normal tunable like the thresholds, just echo X > path, and its good to go!

Boot Loops

Hi,

I wonder if somebody can help since flashing r82 & r83 I've been getting boot loops whenever I change the gamma values.

I'm completely stock 4.2.2 and I use the Franco app to flash the kernel and alter the values. I don't tweak any other settings for the kernel I leave the Franco stock values.

I've attached last_kmsg thanks for any help.

r83 & blue-shifted color.

just flashed stock 4.2.2 and franco's r83.

looks like the color pretty shifts to blue in r83 compared with stock kernel's (4.2.2).

am i missing something? i did not see any color change that mentioned in r83 changelog.

switched back to the stock 4.2.2 kernel, everything looks better on the screen.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pretty awesome tests. Good news is that we managed to find out the cause for the weird offlining during high loads. Is there anything else to improve here? I think its a pretty good balance between performance and long term battery life.

You're welcome man! :D so would you leave it 10 or 40 as default?

Also please don't forget sampling_rate in app :good: using tasker on boot right now

EDIT: oh yea just forgot to mention one thing:

recently since r82 I don't quite see the behaviour of only cpu2 going online based on load, no matter during daily usage or gaming, cpu2 and cpu3 comes together and off together.

so is "online one core threshold" and its mechanisms needed anymore? would dual-quad hotplugging be a good idea?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SchmilK:
Ok, well since then I ahve disabled the wifi/cellular location service and have not seen RILJ come back. Also in the past 30 minutes I have lost 0% battery, which would probably be back to yielding the regulard 2% battery drain per hour that I was used to with low usage.

I knew something was not right this morning when I got to work and my phone was at 90% and it had only been unplugged for 45 minutes, and the only thing *i conciosly* remembered changing was the kernel to r83...seems somewhere along my half awake screen poking last night I enabled location services, but not gps location.

After several flashes of the factory images 4.2.1 and ota update to 4.2.2 and flashing the full 4.2.2 and countless app restores and reboots and power off/on I think I finally found the problem I was having running a custom 4.2.2 kernel. It seems the "AdAway" app was causing my phone to go to the "Welcome" screen almost every time I booted the phone along with a couple other problems. So if anyone is having any kind of problems such as seeing the Welcome screen all the time or wrong location or service bars being grayed out make sure your not using an ad blocking app or at least AdAway for now. Maybe an update might fix it later on but I'm not going through the hassle with it anymore.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kchino:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r83

Ad away doesn't even work on 4.2.2 due to Google closing a security loophole

lol, it works but it must not work properly that's why it was causing all kind of problems for me. The odd part is it was fine with the stock 4.2.2 kernel. It's just with custom ones. I don't think I even had problems with the kernel moles is using in PA which is pretty much stock. Anyways Franco's kernel is running great for me now just like it was prior to the 4.2.2 update.

Running r83 right now, I haven't noticed anything too bad. I did restore the color settings back to kernel default, and I feel they are just too bright. The screen still looks better than stock, but no lie...psyche's 1st settings would be perfect to ship this kernel with.

Nonetheless, excellent work Franco. I enjoy trying out the new kernels. Keep them coming! Just don't burn yourself out doing this ;)

The only other app I didn't install aside from adaway was the fox weather app. Every time I had the problem that app switched my location to Boston and I'm by Chicago. So I don't kow.

Hey everyone, I decided to try r83 on my Nexus 4 with android 4.2.2 and first boot was fine and then I messed up with voltage value, thus led to the bootloop. I didn't set the value to stick on boot but it continues to bootloop (doesn't even go into the OS, just boot animation)

Naturally I would've restored my backup but stupid enough, I was too lazy (lesson learned)

So I just flashed test version, r80 to see if that fixed it, which it didn't.

So I re-flashed the ROM, nothing

Then I re-flashed the ROM and then Franco r83, nothing

Then now, I tried wiping the system and then flashing the ROM, still nothing.

I'm a impatient man so I waited for 5-8 minutes right now... Should I wait more? How long should it take to load the full OS for the first time? I remember when I got Nexus 4, first boot didn't take nearly as much as this. Any ideas to fixing this without wiping data? Thank you so much.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kioshi:
if you wiped the system clean and flashed a rom fresh, it shouldnt give you boot loop....

Flash new rom and reboot. Sometimes boot loops happen if you wipe system/flash rom/flash gapps/flash mods/flash kernel all in one shot. My experience. Take it one step at a time haha. Flash kernel rebooting to recovery again.
