Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Sorry to add to OT but worth mentioning: A few people have bricked their N4 totally by flashing kernel from other device. It overwrites the bootloader so can't go to recovery or access fast boot to flash stock. It's game over.

I have N4 and N7, both running Franco and I am super paranoid about getting the right kernel every flash.

Just saying. It is possible to brick it.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] smirkis:
i see it being possible, the app should have more checks in my opinion. yeah i should have read, but i used the app on my gnex and thought hey thats a faster way to install the kernel and just grabbed it, and flashed it. the app should ask for you to select your device, then kernel version. if it's not compatible then it should bounce back.

in the end, it didn't brick my device. luckily the kernel only over wrote the recovery haha, so i just flashed twrp back and was good to go. IF, it happened to replace my bootloader, i could see that bricking my device but luckily it didn't.

using the flashable zip from the OP, everything is good here so far. gonna take it for a whirl for a few days and see how battery life is, but feels super smooth at the moment.

So does r62 only use two cores max? Can't get it to use 4 Lol...runs perfectly smooth though. Did I miss something in a previous post?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

I forgot to answer this and its important:

When flashing my kernel the stock powerhal is renamed to power.msm8960.bk.so so that you can return to stock hal without needing to flash rom again. Dir is: /system/lib/hw. Just remove power.msm8960.so and remove the .bk from the backed up file, give it r/w permissions and then reboot.

This is when changing to other kernels because my hal is modified to work with interactive.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Yes you missed. r62-test runs in dual core mode all the time. During screen off it offlines the second core and and the only core left goes to Power Collapse Standalone power state - its the lowest level state we have available in this chip. If one listens to music while screen is off only 1 core stays online and it changes to Clock Gating power mode because power collapse is too low.

random touch screen unresponsiveness

Recently I got random touch screen unresponsiveness more often on my nexus 4.

Did anyone face the same problem?

I don't know if it is a ROM/Kernel/App related.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tazer808:
Probably need to be more specific with

1) Rom

2) Kernel version (assuming you're running Franco's kernel of some revision)

3) any tweaks you may have done on above system

4) what utilities you're using to tweak your system.

... more information is better than guessing at this point.

That being said, I haven't seen any of the behavior you're describing. I am using Pattern security as well.

2) Franco Kernel r52

3) UV'd fast binned cpu.

I had the same problem, running stock with r62, my cpu is fast and UV by 100, cfq and conservative.

I didn't have to reboot though, pressing the power button long enough to bring the power off options and then canceling by pressing back made it responsive back again.

r62 uses 2 cores vs r61 which uses 4 cores.

I prefer r62 over r61.

Well done on r62. Great battery/performance combination.

One suggestion, could you make an option in your app to activate all four cores if certain apps are running?

I find that on r62, the CPU usage to be maxing on 100% constantly whenever I play CPU intensive games (i.e. Football Manager 2013).

Using four cores while playing games would help with battery drain whilst the games are played, no?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Only being in two cores is temporary. Two cores is the entire point of 62. 61 was always in 4. This one was dropped to 2 for battery testing purposes. So, no there won't be an option to enable all cores on 62. But, I'm sure once Franco returns from his week with his girlfriend he

The pattern thing happened to me as well about two times the past month. The only thing that could fix it is drag up from the home key to launch Google Now.

I'm using r61 with stock ROM. A possible suspect for me could be Tasker with Secure settings. I use a couple of screen on/off profiles and Secure Settings plug in to disable my lockscreen when connected to home wifi.

Is it possible to be kernel related, or it's just in me?

I thought the same thing but figured id give it a shot. I remember the days of the One xl up against the One x (international). The dual core got great real world use compared to its quad core brother but also had much better battery life. Perhaps it could be the same as the nexus 4 w/ 2 cores active.

So far I am very impressed with r62. Im not a huge gamer but the few games I have played (trial xtreme 3 , superhexagon , and tiger woods) they all play smooth as butter and the device never gets hot. As far as battery goes its as best as its been on my device. Generally anything more than 4 hours screen time has been great for my phone. This is averaging above 5 now.

For example , today I am at 4 hours 15 min total time and 50 minutes screen time (on wifi mind you) and only at 87% left. Pretty solid.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hanny:
Okay guys if you are wondering what is the DEFAULT VOLTAGE franco has included in his kernel, it is extremely simple, i mean it

because the ultimately fastest way to return your device back to default voltages is

1) uncheck voltages set on boot

2) reboot

DONE

However some may like to confirm it (to feel secure), or to read it on computer, or to bring it up for discussion

Take a look at here: https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commit/faf8a86b9223fe58b1b2b371fb8a10cb5da839ab

this is an overview of the voltage table franco has set since r52 (since he default-undervolted 1026 step)

it even includes the voltages for disabled frequencies

Left is frequencies, right is their corresponding voltages

For red and green, read the green

There are three sections - 1st is for slow binned cpus, 2nd is for nominal, 3rd is for both fast and faster

The second thing I want to say is based on a post a couple of pages ago. Maybe jacoalomg and some others just verbally and briefly described the issue which may make others think that it is a simple "My phone is not recognized when fast charge!" problem. But it is not.

When I read their post I echoed because I experienced the exact same thing before. Whether it is an underlying problem in the kernel / app side or not, I can't justify it. However, I think I am quite good at describing a phenomenon in detail.

Procedures to reproduce the USB Fast Charge possible-issue

(where MTP gets detected while it should NOT)

1) Unplug your phone completely

2) Open franco.Kernel updater > Custom Kernel settings > Check Enable fast USB charge

3) Yes, you will see a (clearable) notification that franco has kindly included that to remind new users in the Gnex period

4) Now plug the phone into a USB port

This is the thing:

AC charging is shown in Settings > About Phone > Status

(My battery is full so I had to use Battery Monitor Widget)

HOWEVER the computer DID detect Nexus 4 and opened the MTP folder like Fast Charge is disabled, while it still shows AC charging (and I doubt if it is true)

Android notification "Connected as a media device" is shown, as well as USB debugging.

These two are NOT expected, because they are not shown when you plug the phone into a wall charger. (the basic concept of Fast Charging)

5) Now unplug either side, just disconnect the phone with the computer

6) Android notifications gone, MTP folder closed on the computer side

7) Plug it in again.

Now its the correct behavior

AC charging is shown

No Android notifications about media device or USB debugging because it treats the comp as wall charger

Computer does not pop up any single thing as well

Thats it, and the correct behavior remains correct, until USB fast charging is disabled and re-enabled.

(no reboot required for the issue to reappear)

Don't hesitate to try it and see if its the same on your side? :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cobyman7035:
sometimes when i plug my n4 into computer windows8 it won't even detect the usb mode, i have to take the usb from my computer and replug it in, to get it to detect, im wonder if its the 'fast usb enabled' feature causing this issue?:confused:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hanny:
no there is NO issue when the option is deadly-disabled. we are now talking about after it is enabled by you manually.

It may be on your computer's driver side. To make sure the fast charge feature is disabled simply check and uncheck the box for once. Also note that win8 requires "advanced restart mode" in order to install the unsigned drivers correctly.
