[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cocchiararo:
Just installed r51, frist franco's kernel on my n4.

I had franco updater installed tho (bought it a long time ago on my GN).

I had used it for setting IO Scheduler and for disabling loggin on stock kernel, and then on faux enhanced stock (only kernels that supported Touch Control until today).

Now when i launch it with r51, it still picks up the old settings, so:

io scheduler = noop

TCP Congestion = cubic

I reseted its data, and it picked up the same (might need a reboot ? can't right now).

Could i ask what are the defaults ? (and or recomended, dunno, defaults will do).

thx

It's a little bit late but here's battery life comparison between r34 and r47 (no wifi and some GPS) tested to 65%. They're highly similar regarding to screen on time, the only reason why r47 appears to last longer because I was sleeping for 5-6 hours during the beginning of the test so the phone was idle. Otherwise they're all tested pretty fairly. I hope you find it useful or at least entertaining lol.

Today I'm going back to r47 to test it once more. Will do r51 tomorrow.

Additional info that might be useful:

r34 drops 7% of battery when left idle for 8 hours

r47 drops 6% of battery when left idle for 6 hours

Probably it's a noob question

But I wonder if it is possible to let data connection stay in 3g

as I start to use data, the signal will turn 3g to hspa+ , right?

And this change could take like 0.5 seconds.

I believe if the signal can be restrict at 3g, it will not only improve battery life but also iliminate the data drop problem

It may not be kernel related though, but I thought you guy may know something about it....:silly:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

I think this would be the best solution!! Please implement it, it sounds great :)

Maybe you can add the Option that the second Core goes online directly when you touch it and not when you swipe ? So its online when you swipe and the a little second Core activation lag when you swipe fast is gone ? Or is this senseless ? So a second core activation Option would be great, one for touching and one for swiping?

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

Franco, I get that you don't like UV, but you should add it as an option for those of us who are willing to use it and report even minor batter improvements. The people using UV would mostly be the battery savers, not the performance seekers, so we'd be able to manage stability without playing CPU/graphic intensive games. You could leave the voltages stock on the phone and then for people who want to adjust, they can do so by either using your app or a few others. Even some of your other kernels have UV added.

Some post things like "too much lag" or "ONLY 4h screen time" etc, it doesn't tell franco what ROM you're on, how long you've been running the kernel, if you've changed any kernel settings, if you've tried wiping cache etc and rebooting, screen brightness and any other things.

At the very least, it'd help us to help each other to compare why some have no issues and some have nothing but issues... :)

Myself reverted to r47 after testing r50 and r51 also. Microlags especially noticable in stock Chrome browser when scrolling thru regular webpages are not worth some possible extra battery savings, IMO.

Would appreciate Franco implementing some easy toggles/switches in the Kernel app tuning the Kernel either for performance or for battery savings (maybe make 3 default configs: performance, balance, powersave). Then it would be flexibly usable for any purpose.

I think r47 is the smoothest overall, but my battery life on it wasn't as good as it has been in the past (could be because I was on youtube with data, but just in general r47 gave me less battery life than the others, but it was still good)

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

I can also state that my feelings towards r50 & r51 aren't as strong as it's predecessors, when it comes to performance. In fact the version which suited my device the most was r46! It was a lagless beast (even more-so than r47).

That being said, the fact of the matter is that Franco just can't please every user, especially when folks are expecting more than 3 hours of battery life, even though this was near impossible to achieve upon the release of the N4 w/stock. Then again, stock kernel's performance is stellar, which is probably the reason for the shorter battery life.

Franco; have you done some comparing to your previous releases? How do you feel about r51 compared to the likes of r34, r46, r47? People definitely have their favourites, though it's all subjective. However, I think that your development stages should be about raising the bar and not recreating a brand new bar and placing it at the same height. What I'm getting at is that - it wasn't long ago that you considered r34 to be a potential milestone candidate. Then the test releases began. Since then you steered your kernel into alternate directions. This was neither a good or a bad thing. Instead each new release became a slightly different user experience.

I think, if you haven't already, now would be a great time to retrospectively consider your previous releases before moving forward. Not to please me or anybody else, but just for yourself.

What I'm saying should be taken lightly of course. This is your kernel and I appreciate your efforts. Sometimes though, it's good to remember what you did to figure out if what you're presently doing is your definitive work.

Many thanks and have a great day!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tma200:
Seconded - reverted to R46 as this feels the best for me in most situations. R51 was noticeably laggy when hitting the task switcher - seems to take the phone forever to decide to engage the second core and instead ramps core0 to 1.5ghz long before it thinks about lighting up core1. In R46 it enables core1 more rapidly on a load increase, and I assume that's why it feels better to me.
