Basically it gives you the ability to customize its behaviour so you can get good battery or get the smoothness of stock kernel with the optimisations in the kernel. It also gives you the ability to control the colours/gamma, to change headphones volume boost, the headset gain, use fast usb charging, change the thermal throttle temperature, change the min and max frequency of the cpu (overclock, underclock) and the gpu, change the voltages for the different frequencies (so the device runs cooler, for ex), and if you use franco's kernel updater (his app from the play store) you can use the newest awesome feature that allows you to change some of the settings depending on which app you're currently in, so you can give it power whenever it needs.

That's the features (not all of them btw), going through Franco's app. The rest are under the hood optimizations and others I've skipped. You can see pretty much everything if you go through the changelog, linked in the op.

By the way if you simply flash without modifying, you'll use the default settings that give very good performance/battery ratio. I've played with these a lot actually and I find the default ones the best for my use, so no need to change them.

just another question guys:

on which point the OTA update isnt working any more:

Root the Phone?

Unlock?

Recovery changed?

Flashed Franco Kernel on Stock Rom?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nachordez:
Recovery, I think.

But anyway, it's easy to go back, and there will be threads about how to do one second after 4.3 ota is out, for sure!

Nexus4 / Carbon / Franco / V4A
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jmartino5920:
Unlock: OTA good.

Root: OTA good, but you may lose root.

Change recovery: Failed OTA.

Flash Kernel: By virtue of changing to a custom recovery, Failed OTA.

You can easily, however, flash the stock kernel and stock recovery to get an OTA.

Sorry for the noob question, i never used this kernel, but i rember that we need a reset kernel to change rom... is still necessary ? when must i flash it ? restoring a backup ? changing rom ? upgrading rom ? changing kernel? where can i find that reset kernel ? I want to be sure to know everithing before flashing this kernel :D

When you flash a new ROM you'll get that ROMs kernel. Just flash Franco's kernel after flashing the ROM.

Hey guys, just wanted to ask which Apps you've tuned with the Per-App settings?

I changed:

- Whatsapp & Play Music slower

- Gallery (for the Camera) faster because of the time it takes to capture an HDR image

Any other recommendations?

Also curious as to what per-app settings you would all recommended for some of the main apps, tried and tested settings only.

Hello guys which is the best 'battery saving' i/O scheduler? I'm currently using latest M3 with Cm 10.1.2 stable version. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Doo Doo:
either deadline or row

i personally use row seems a bit snappier to me but of course that's just my opinion
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] elite_gamer04:
Am I correct on thinking that the Per-App settings will be draining more battery on (if we don't use any) as it's checking every 10 seconds? Would it be best to disable for those not using it?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Redneck Trash:
I disabled it but I don't think the checks will have any noticeable affect on battery.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shano56:
I hate to say me too, and not contribute something, but I'm gonna say it too. What I've noticed is my phone gets hotter than usual when I'm just sending a text or on tapatalk or something. Like around 50-55 Celsius. I even have max freq capped to 1026 and UV to 750mv. This happens even in the morning where the outside temperature is cold and in the afternoon when its hot out. I think it may be worth checking into Franco. Not sure what log I could pull to maybe help out

Have you wiped your app data? Try that, reboot then set all your settings again.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:
Ondemand will always be snappier but it kills the battery and seeing as Franco's kernel is basically built around interactive there's almost no reason to use anything else.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I dont agree at all, in my experience none of this is tru
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
tru but I was talking mainly about battery life and ondemad being faster im already getting better battery day one with ondemand .... He also tweaked this ondemad gov for this phone
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nyyankees1237:
I thought ondemand was worse in comparison to interactive in terms of battery life?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I dont "follow" the crowd or take everything i read to be tru ,i usually test myself, but if u go online ya "they" say that its worse for battery, but try it out on your phone, on my phone im getting better battery atm. But on all my other phones including this one, ive always found interactive to eat more batrery but never cared casue it worked better, but finding different results atm with this phone and build 163
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alen1901:
Ondemand is more battery friendly with little less performance. it depends from user and its tasks a lot. But really, they are similar governors, i recommend ondemand.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jimbohurt:
I just keep everything stock but UV a little and I change hot plug threshold to 55. Other than that I leave the complicated stuff to Franco and just trust the default :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:
Guys... Interactive is literally just an improved version of ondemand which Franco has then tweaked even further for use in his kernel. It's no coincidence that Interactive is the default governor. If ondemand was more battery efficient and better for performance, it would be the default.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Doo Doo:
changing governor within FKU doesn't seem to stick after changing to a different governor

If its default, its doesnt mean its the best for every user and for every aspect. Thats why there are choises.

true. I've handled many android devices ( HTC Desire S, Sony Xperia ZL, Xperia Arc C, Xperia P, Xperia J, Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ), each device was on ondemand and that's the best option as it really safe the battery.

ondemand with no demand = deep sleep.

but hey, this is my first time on franco kernel, I'll give a shot on Interactive for at least a day.

Hey Franco awesome kernel BTW & I know your original post said "don't post about slide2wake" but I am coming from the Semaphore kernel which had an adjustable time in which you could touch the display to wake it back up. I really like this feature especially when I leave my display with a short 30 second automatic display off (to conserve battery) a quick tap wakes the display back up. After the time expires the phone can enter it's normal operation (Stratos had a maximum time of 90 or 120 seconds)

The governor isn't changing in fKu. I had to use a different app to change the governor.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Thats what I thought yesterday but if u change it to say ondemand then look under governor control it shows the ondemand options even tho it shows it switched back to interactive. So i figured its working just not visually showing its set right?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Haomuch:
Change it in the default system power mode setting or you need to disable the per app power mode function.

Sorry that I post it here... :(

Maybe Franco can make it disabled in the beginning, but I think it is ROM related.

Hey guys, I don't mean to be a bother but I'm having a small issue with the proximity sensor since I installed this kernel yesterday (running CM 10.1 Stable with the M3 version of kernel); namely that the phone doesn't come out of sleep mode once I take my face away from the device. I searched the thread but it seemed like most people hadn't had this problem since 4.1, if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Do you have a screen protector that covers your proximity sensor?

Nope, no screen protector at all (probably should have mentioned that first).I did use the Display Control app yesterday to change the color and gamma settings, and it seems to have been doing it on and off since then.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
That's odd. I'm 99% sure that it's not the kernel causing your issue. I've been using Franco kernel exclusively for months, and have never had an issue with my screen not coming on during a call.

Franco Minuum Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Devilicus:
Yeah and it doesn't seem like anyone else is having that problem. The only other thing I did yesterday was enable LTE on my device, which meant downgrading the radio. Could that have something to do with it?

Mine seems random; it did it earlier on a call that was only 90 seconds long. I've tried to recreate it but it hasn't done it again since that call. I heard that turning up the minimum kernel speed might help so I did that, but I don't know if it's actually fixed or not.

Thanks franco for the awesome app. Per power app settings is working great. If i may suggest for the per power app. Can it have a tick box or highlighter for apps that we want to use with the same settings.

Just a suggestion though any way i still like the per app setting. Thanks again for this one!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kocai:
No, thank you. I don't want to use a kernel with the new Prima Wi-Fi driver. I've tried them in the past and most of the time, I'd have troubles.

Although I didn't state the procedures I took before flashing r163, I didn't complain about Wi-Fi not working properly because I flashed r163 on top of another kernel before getting back the stock ramdisk. I might be a noob but I know how to switch kernel properly. I can connect to my home and work Wi-Fi. But I couldn't connect to a particular Wi-Fi network at a restaurant 3 hours ago.

imho this is somehow related to the new QS S4 Pro new architecture. We could wait for the next N4 updates from google and hope for a fixed kernel.

or to make it even better, sign and send a petition to Google, LG and Qualcomm. demand for serious investigation on QS S4 Pro issues.

oh yeah I forgot to mention that N4 bricked my router wlan function. Now I can only use LAN connection. But It's not a big deal for me at all. At least I'm happy with this N4 overall function.
