Are you sure you don't have something hogging your CPU's? It only onlines cpu's if the system load is bigger than the thresholds, so if the load is big something is going on in the system.

r53 acting normally.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Net.silb:
Franco, I suggest you flash the stock kernel once in a while because right now, it is a lot smoother than r53.

I have a feeling mpdecision does a much better job in making it smooth...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Of course it is, its with 2 cores online most of the time for no reason and using 1026MHz as minimum frequency 90% of the time as well - kiss good bye to your battery.

Its not 12424294242049823% smoother than this kernel, but it will be a little bit snappier because of what I just described. I'd rather find a balance in between than having the phone on steroids and then last 10 minutes.

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

I was in a T-Mobile store earlier today. I put my N4 running r51 next to the device on display. Mine was considerably smoother than the stock one on display. No two phones are made alike.

If this kernel isn't up to your standards, flash another one.

To the guys with cpu idling problems:

Do you use Franco's kernel app and have checked "set governor settings on boot" ?

Then maybe you have old settings from prior version saved that make that problems. remove "sat governor settings on boot" and maybe clear Data from app then reboot and look if it's better then.

r53 is working smooth for me and also CPU1 to 3 are idling like supposed to be. CPU0 is @384 most of the time, only if i tap the screen it goes up to 1026.

Having trouble getting this kernel onto my LG Nexus 4. I connect phone to PC. PC can see the phone and I can add things to the sdcard. Have added the boot image to the sdcard.

You need to put the kernel you're trying to flash in your fastboot directory on your computer, not on the phone's storage.

I have lags in UI with r53 and the other releases where onlye one core is used with screen interaction :-/

I already changed go_highspeed_load to 50 and highspeed frequenzy to 1180.

Still laggy UI! Using CM10.1 with Trebuchet launcher.

Also facebook etc are not as smooth as with cm10.1 kernel.. in know that there are 2 cores online when you start to tab on the screen...

So pleeease add the option for a second core to go online when you tab the screen in your app. So we can choose between best battery and best performance in the UI etc.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Charles Collins:
Thanks Vangelis13. Yes I did use a toolkit and it worked fine. I have flashed CWM using the toolkit but for some reason it doesn't see the zip file on the sdcard. Added another zip file and it doesn't see that either. Says there is an update.zip file but I can't see that when I go into internal memory on the pc.

How do ppl find out how many cores are active ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rootuser11:
Some say that utilizing just min and max is a good thing. I think not especially given that optimus g purposely uses msmdcvs as its governor. I believe this governor tries to turn on other cores and keep the frequencies low across cores rather than maximizing one or two cores only. Hope msmdcvs was open and we could get benefit from it too..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mikk36:
What Franco did was to change the minimum clock of 1024 Mhz when touched to 384 Mhz. In default config, it ups the minimum to 1024 and stays there for a few seconds, where as now when you touch the screen, it keeps the minimum at 384. On both occasions, it will ramp up to full speed on the touch itself.

Thats how it works I believe. The problem was that before it raised the min cpu to 1026MHz and stayed there for a long time instead of just ramping to 1026MHz and ramping back down when done.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You don't need to buy my app for anything at all. The app is just an helper for lots of useful features. But a kernel is just a kernel, you dont need any userspace thing to make it work better or worse. Just buy it if you want, if you don't you're perfectly ok as the kernel works fine out of the box!

r53 is definately snappier than r50 / r51 while scrolling / web browsing, very well done Franco! :D

Early indications for me it is a great balanced Kernel for performance and battery savings.

Would recommend wiping cache and Dalvik and rebooting again, after flashing it. No issues

here, after doing that. Deep sleep and 384 stats are fine.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Utini:
I thought wiping those caches shouldn't have any effect? I am coming from r34 without any wipe.

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

Correct.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

No need to wipe. :thumbup:

If moving to a different brand kernel and you want to be safe, flash the rom (+gapps if applicable) directly followed by the kernel. In case ramdisk was modified and so on and so forth.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Low(est) cpu usage mode, you'll probably have only one core idling at 384 mhz unless a process needs more power. Notifications go through, radio is active.

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

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] albundy2010:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Nope. Its reported because it is lag. Lag that is not there with stock. Or compared to a previous version of the kernel.

Not saying it needs to be as lag free as stock. Just got to say it is lagging more or less than a previous build for Franco to get useful feedback.

idea

Franco, I have been very happy with the kernel performance throughout your revisions for battery savings. It seems there are 2 camps of thought using the kernel one sides battery savings and other sides speed with smaller battery savings. Reading throughout the form it really seems like the goldilocks and the three bears issue between people tastes of battery vs speed. It seems you spend alot of time bouncing on revisions to find the happy middle for this. Could it save you time to just have alternative version of your interactive governor ie x2 interactive battery and interactive speed?
