The new boot rocks! Even at 702MHz Hi speed! It's actually smoother than 143! Good one!

On another note... My cpu0 is staying all the way at 1GHz... Doesn't go down to 300MHz..

Is it supposed to be like that?

I AM on franco right now. And i would neither buy a Toyota nor a Nissan. I wasn't blaming anyone or anything. I can't See where my post is more unrelated then colorprofiles Or the buggy game or useless questions that are answered over and over again or the massive amount of sceenshots with the SOT. It just came up to my mind after he named ironman3. I know i didn't ask a specific question, but i just wanted to know how hot his phone gets by playing it. You should stop *****ing around and try to catch someone with a "fail" just to blame him with an even more stupid post.

Have a nice day!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:
Well is the issue still persisting now that you're back in Franco kernel? Iron man 3 is an Intensive game, your phone is going to get hot! I apologise if my post was somewhat rude but you honestly can't expect anyone to give you a useful response if you don't even know what kernel you were on at the time...

I know you don't like this kind of tests, anyway I made some I/O benchmarks using Antutu,

Database I/O and SD I/O only, 5 test for each scheduler:

Noop: 830, 897, 878, 736, 727 ---> Avg: 813,6

Deadline: 753, 678, 705, 702, 688 ---> Avg: 705,2

ROW: 832, 870, 644, 683, 890 ---> Avg: 783,8

CFQ: 700, 904, 897, 779, 903 ---> Avg: 836,6

I think Noop is the simpliest one, less battery heater, and as I can see it performs quite good.

CFQ seems to be the faster one, don't know about resources it use.

Thanks, i use to test any kernel which release day and day.. But today i got new nexus phone, so I'm in stock with rooted unlocked and custom recovery.

I was using Galaxy Nexus and I loved Franco kernel with any ROM. Since Franco was using Optimus I use to love his kernel.. He is the best among all the kernel in giving stability and speed.. ;) I'm not boosting. Jus my opinion and my gratification. :l

Offtopic : Jus one question, can anyone temme whether USB OTG can be enabled using this kernel or any other app ? Sorry to clutter here.. I need to know where I can find my answer very soon.. Love to hear something

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Foxnov1990:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ratcav:
It can only with an external powered hub, so it's pretty useless for most of the user out there
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sigma392:
He won't implement it as it's still experimental and adding stuff like that will definitely cause a support nightmare. Franco released his Kernel's source code anyway so you can just compile his kernel with OTG changes.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Foxnov1990:
That's true, but bottomline is that it "can" use it. It's just not recommended to run around with an external powered hub, but it's still highly possible ^^

[edit] I never said I disliked it not being implemented, because indeed.. it's highly experimental. I just replied to someone stating it's not possible with an N4 ;)

On the latest boot.IMG (999) and getting what looks like big battery drain when out of WiFi. I've left the house twice and each time it drops very quickly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] wirtzpeitz:
On r143 my phone started to die again, like I reported previously. Last time someone suggested that my phone hadn't actually shut down but had frozen up, and I now agree this must be the case as the LED kept flashing some notification but nothing happened when I tried to wake it. I also noticed that it seems to happen around the same time of day (4 a.m. or so), so I wonder if some scheduled syncing activity is responsible for this. Is there any way I can determine what activity preceded the freeze? Thanks a lot.

I also previously reported a Franco-specific bug that sometimes did not let me enter my unlock pattern after waking the phone (it would always work the second time). Several other users reported that they also experienced this bug. I now think that certain lockscreen widgets are responsible for this, specifically DashClock and some media controls for apps like Pocket Casts. When removing these widgets I do not experience the bug. I also do not see if when using the app Touch Control, regardless of whether or not I've added any widgets. I wonder if anyone else who was also affected by this bug can reproduce this?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It onlines the second core and changes the minimum frequency to 1026MHz, if you swipe everything goes crazy. 1512MHz gets used way more than it should anyway. Thats why it hits the thermal throttle in no time.

Hey Franco sorry to ask here but I figured better than spamming your inbox, were you going to implement the new-ish interactive hotplugging that you implemented in r135 for the nexus 10? I just got it but noticed your kernel hadn't been updated since before those changes so i'm ASSUMING they weren't in it but i'd love to see it cause it's so perfect :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thebryceee:
Idling is significantly improved. Also doing less intensive stuff like web browsing and Tapatalk, battery is significantly improved. I upped the hi speed freq to 1026 and feels smooth. Gonna be on straight LTE all day so we'll see how the battery fares, everything synced like how a smartphone should be used.

Under the hotplug settings check your suspend frequency. 702Mhz is default if it is lower than this it can cause some slight lag.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
So maybe that's what project butter does, the battery melts like butter.

Kidding aside, r143 gives the best UI performance and battery for me. Comparing my Nexus 4 and my friend's Nexus 4 running stock, the latter is hair smoother when swiping within the widgets drawer but other than that, all interactions seems on par between the two. The problem with stock is.. with our tropical weather, the heat it produces can cook rice. :D

So far, this is the best. But with franco, the best is yet to come.. as always.

Can't comment on battery life for r999 but general smoothness feels exactly the same to me, despite all the changed values within the app.

Not sure if this is already been reported but this has happened to me a couple times within the app. I'm not entirely sure how to recreate but if you're bouncing between menus, then hit the back button, then open something else up. It overlays the new set of options over the old ones. I know that's a terrible explanation but I can't accurately recreate it :eek:

I just realized something; A lot of people who post pictures of their battery life don't actually make any phone calls. While I must say that I'm having great battery life as is, I can't tell if there's any improvement of life whilst making calls.

Can a kernel even affect the battery life in that aspect?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Josh98:
The Franco app crashes when I click on a Power Mode preset - this occur to anyone else?

I've wiped the app data and reinstalled the app, still happening. R134 seems to running nicely :)

EDIT: OK nevermind, it's my old user generated ones doing it. Others are ok. Not sure what I can do to remove them though.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jawz101:
Unlikely. The only thing that I'd think improves battery life is thru radio firmware updates which are closed source. Anything else would probably be at the sacrifice of call quality.

I suppose I don't know the extent the kernel has in the handoff to the cell hardware but it might be worth investigating. I mean, if you could send more juice to the radio or adjust some sort of sampling frequency, I dunno. I'd think those sorts of things are probably well scrutinized by manufactures. I used to have a job in telecom and worked with an electrical engineer that still used a bag phone because he said they have significantly more range than modern mobile phones. I guess it's a slightly interesting thought

So far battery life on r999 seems to be much better than previous versions. Haven't done a full run down yet, but just providing some live feedback :)

I don't agree with most of it. There is almost no time ever where the device hits 100% load, theres a small margin that we gotta give, otherwise no dice. Thanks though!

The only thing I can implement there is some kind of dynamic tunable scaling, there is no Hotplug during screen on for that device.

my FKU beta feedback or every thought I've had about the app:

Add 3g prop tweaks to custom kernel settings.

Include an option to have a floating widget to tune or change color profiles while looking at gallery pics (if it's even possible.) Comparing to reference pictures on your device makes more sense than relying on settings from someone else's device. I can only guess those that have made floating apps are using this guy's library.

Expose a Tasker intent so you can change color profiles based on Time of Day, for example. This would be stinkin' easy I think and it's just an added bonus to us Tasker users- which is likely a lot of the Nexus 4 population since we're all geeks.

For some reason my io scheduler keeps changing on me. add option to force on boot perhaps?

Bring back a Franco Boot Animation yo! I never got to use it :*(

Bump the kernel update check up to at least every 6 hours. Realistically, how often do you expect to release a new kernel? If it's hitting the server hard why not stretch it out further? I bump mine up just so everyone else's dl speeds are better and as courtesy to the server. Oh, and get rid of the intervals lower than default.

And what do you think of the Google+ community? Is it functional enough to move the whole kernel discussion to it? It's just something I started thinking about. Personally, it seems like a cluttered mess compared to a forum post but I could see merit in how it breaks up topics.

Update : refreshed 999.. Same deal.. Stays at 1GHz without touching the screen... No new apps which I barely have any... I'll use it the whole day, and if it gives me the same battery then I'll report back... But it might be a good idea to keep cpu0 at 1GHz all the time.... It barely uses battery and the UI is the smoothest I've seen so far..

That makes no sense. That logic is probably in the charger itself. That happened with my MacBook charger few days ago, the charger was very hot and it stopped charging to protect my hardware.
