Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

I think Franco said something about this. I think he said he doesn't know enough about the hardware of the mic or something.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bar81:
r51 is better than r50 in terms of stutter but not as smooth as r46.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zFayZz:
Auto as always
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes I have no clue about that stuff, not even know if thats kernel related.

Anyway I will release r52 officially today, worked with morfic last night to improve the hotplug driver. Small improvement but I'm very happy with it. Bumped 1k points in CFBench. Also motley showed me the powerHAL source for this device (it was buried in a different directory than all the other powerHALs, damn Qualcomm) and after some hacking/fixing its working correctly with interactive.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

It's truly great when you devs collaborate. I feel this is true essence of xda- a group of great devs collaborating and sharing their knowledge even though their end viewpoint ( say, how a device should perform and at what expense) might be different. We, users are fortunate to have such a bunch of great devs for our n4 :)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

Hey, I'm new to Franco kernels and all that. Do I download r34? I see people saying r50 and all that, or is that just the test kernels? I just want a stable kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] realfelix:
Well, they are all stable as far as I know, I'd recommend r47 or r51. Or wait for r52.

EDIT: Two things that I've got to mention: First. Anyone else experiencing lockscreen lag when waking up the device from deep sleep? The animation around the unlock-ring stutters as hell and it doesnt unlock immediately. Second, question: What settings do you guys use to get the best performance? I've only enabled boost and set the go_hispeed_load to 90 instead of 60. Suggestions?

AW: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

So what exactly is powerhal? And who is morfic? Does he have his own n4 kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Morfic is a kernel developer, "Trinity" is his work. It's in the N4 forums.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bleuf1sh:
i noticed it hasn't been mentioned since the r51 release... but I used to have data issues (none of that delayed wifi stuff... actual 3G H data drops) and I havn't yet experienced that after a full day on r51 .... however I noticed in github that there weren't any real changes to anything related from r50 to r51 .... so I think... and this may be crazy... but the one change I made after flashing r51 is to change the TCP Congestion algo to cubic..... so although I doubt that's what fixed it for me, i figured i'd share....

also r51 has been sexy smooth with nearly 4 hrs of screen on time (with wifi never on... only data)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hrithan2020:
Don't know fully, but powerhal essentially provided a way to make the custom clock settings by kernels to stick. Had heard about it being useful for kernels which support OC in other devices. I am not exactly sure in context of N4, maybe it is for customization in the ondemand/interactive governor to stick?

Morfic is quite well know for his trinity kernel . [ My friend using Galaxy Nexus was quite entusiastic about it]

He develops for N4 as well. See the below thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2083904

Right now, it seems to be mainly populated by OC'ers [ the kernel supports 1836 Mhz] who post screenshots where they have highest benchmark scores, though I am sure his kernel would perform smoothly at stock speeds also.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
The PowerHAL is a binary that is tight together to some Android system wide functions to detect when there is interactivity going on (eg. touching on the screen, gpu clock going up, predicting an interaction in the future etc) and then do some work like ramping the CPU to a higher frequency to ensure the device is smooth enough during interactivity.

Takes you longer to ask what it is than actually finding it yourself in this forum.

Doesn't really matter what rom I use. For what its worth it could be MiNCO, it could be a self-compiled AOSP rom, it could be anything. Its not really relevant.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hrithan2020:
Crudely speaking, yes. But don't know exactly what his philosophy is!.

But his kernels seem to be quite stable.

Franco is focused and concentrates on a few things at a time. That way, generally it would be easier to understand what causes problem or issues like micro lag , if it occurs , I suppose?

No. However, if you don't actually use lattitude, I'd highly suggest you to create a titanium backup widget which freezes/defrost and launch maps app!!

Essentially, one click would defreeze and launch the maps app when you need it and one more click would freeze the maps. I feel it is a very handy feature for apps which one doesn't use frequently and don't need to run in the background!!

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

Is r52 going to go back to dual core with a high go_highspeed_load on a swipe, or stay the way r51 is? I feel like 47 was much smoother and pretty much the same on battery life.

I hope this too, if performance is like r51 I'm afraid franco goes a way with the kernel many dislike.

I know that we can't and won't force anything onto franco because he does an awesome job, but I agree the performance still needs some more tweaking.

Bought the app just to support this and will keep on doing it ;)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

It is kernel related according to that thread. And the problem is widely affecting not only voice messaging but also normal video shooting since the audio recording quality is quite bad and I don't know why so many users didn't notice this but instead kept reporting the barely changed smoothness and battery performance.

I believe this could be a much more interesting issue that could be solved. Maybe it's not so easy to be done by only one developer but just as you did before, you may collaborate with other developer and figure it out. That could be a very significant achievement if we can have a more clear audio recording.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
There r52 is out as official nightly. Difference between r51 and r52 is basically improvements in the hotplug driver, making it more responsive depending on the number of online cores, reducing sampling periods thus it reacts faster. Also compiled a new PowerHAL from source, hacked it and made it work with interactive boostpulse instead of working with mpdecision touch_boost implementation. It works the same as the previous "touch screen and ramp to 1026", but now its made properly just like Google intends to. Also adjusted some interactive tunables that were wrongly tuned. All in all everything should be better smooth wise without crapping it out on the battery, just reacting faster on the device changes.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
There are no hotplug errors, the github source builds fine. What you see is a mismatch, just run make -jY again and it will build. My configs are always in /proc/config.gz and its GPL compliant, I don't like to release configs in github. Before complaining make sure you know what you're talking about ;)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r52

It adds and removes cores based on demand.

If you don't need them, no reason to keep them online.

That's why you safe battery if everything works out.

Like keeping on a light in a room even if noone is in it is wasteful, so is keeping cores online if you don't need them.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tazer808:
Initial impressions pretty much echo the others about r52. it does feel a bit smoother, but on r51 i didn't mind the few micro-stutters i did see. Now with r52, transitions from app to app and panel to panel seem smoother than silk and even scrolling in XDA app seems greatly improved (force 2D GPU rendering = OFF).

I've been enjoying your kernel work since re-joining the modding community w/ the acquisition of this nexus 4 and look forward to seeing where you work continues to take this platform.

I have not encountered any swype problems or dropped data connections at all.

Currently re-charging my phone and will run it to see how battery life looks on this nightly.
