Dont set cpu freqs on reboot, done.

Hows the msm_hci wakelock thingy working?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
After getting this on my phone last night I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed. I left it off of the charger last night and it is still sitting at 50%. Well done sir.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yeah I'm pretty happy with power consumption at the moment!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
I agree, I totally forgot to take screen shots but with build 7 I got 1day 4hour and 5hours screen on, main difference I've noticed with your kernel is deep sleep battery drain is excellent, I like what you done with ondemand it uses the steps much smoother.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rootuser11:
+1 hope the overheating can be managed somewhat by UV (I know you are against it until things are settled down).

yes.. my phone def. overheats as soon as I apply your kernel as apposed to others that have UV functionality (and I apply around -150mV at least).

Anyways, great to see that 1Ghz touch lock up is solved with yours. Cpu-spy shows more distributed results.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
Deep sleep performance is definitely one of Franco's fortes...

Thankfully performance is another!

I have not noticed any type of overheating whatsoever.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rojovelasco:
Hi there,

I have been using the kernel a couple of days and its awesome. I have notice a major duration of the battery without losing any performance, but, just two quick questions.

Since Franco's kernel app does not support the Nexus 4, is there a way to flash the *.img directly from the device?

And... are the frequency's tweaking working? I have set a cap of 1024Mhz but it seems to restore the nominal 1512Mhz value randomly.

Anyway, thanks for the job Franco, I have bought your app to support although the lack of support for my device.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cpom1:
hey franco is it possible to use your app now or any app at that matter to control the kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't have any overheating.

You'll have to wait until my app supports the N4 to be able to use it for auto .img flash. Just dont mess with the frequencies what-so-ever and it will work as intended.

My app is not officially supporting N4 at this time... I already answered that 65457157 times.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cpom1:
No you mentioned that we should not use any cpu controlling apps for new builds that you have so I was wondering if we can now? I already know your app is not fully compatible.

BTW it still does the job I need it to.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] elliot.newnham:
He hasn't stated that he has made it compatible? Why would it magically become compatible now? It will work when it works.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 0.0:
Conservative governor is not included? :( also, can the SIO I/O scheduler be included? I read its the best option to use for phones.

And which is better: ondemand or interactive? I can't really tell the difference

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cpom1:
Did you read my post or did you just want to reply? I clearly said im already aware that the app does not fully support the N4. Franco said not to use ANY cpu control apps and to let the kernel do its thing. My question was whether that was still in place and would we have any issues if did decide to use but leave the settings alone. I use his app to view cores and temp and etc.

Read before you reply
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] elliot.newnham:
I can read thank you... you said "hey franco is it possible to use your app now or any app at that matter to control the kernel?" which means that you were asking an obvious question. Does it work now?

The answer? no it doesn't work now... You can infer that by reading the Franco's changelog between build 7 and 8.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cpom1:
from my understanding we should be using ondemand for now as interactive was having some issues. i could be wrong. now that could be resolved which im sure it will.

as for which is better, its pretty much your choice; try them both and see which you prefer :)

I would switch between them on my GN before so I cant choose :P

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

okay do you see the part that says "OR ANY APP"? You obviously skipped over a key point
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
We don't need more IO schedulers, thats just bloat and buzzwords.

There is no best, they are different. Just use ondemand, thats why I ship with it.

Ladies, take that elsewhere.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] laverdure#1:
Same here regarding r27 vs r28. Currently on day 3 with r28, but I see significantly more msm_host_wakelocks in r28 (7%) than I did in r27 (1%). Might just go back to r27 since I had not noticed any data drop.

Thanks again Franco for your awesome work!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xecut:
i can't seem to underclock my CPU, i want to set my maximum to be under 1000Hz. How to do this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
It's not possible to do that with this CPU. 1026mhz is close enough to 1000mhz.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] syncopy:
Use one of these apps:

franco.Kernel updater

Trickster MOD Kernel Settings

Edit: didn't really see "under 1 GHz" there. 12 hours shift having an effect. My bad.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Because r27 had gazillion HSIC patches, but then again it ****ed the data/wifi reability.

If I disable wakelock stats in the kernel people wont even know whats happening and start enjoying the kernel and less worrying :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mobilehavoc:
This is weird. I flashed r28 from stock kernel and I'm getting better battery life and performance than when I flashed r28 from a prior Franco kernel. I'm using fast boot and it makes no sense.

Odd.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You know its exactly the same thing? ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Simer03:
I didn't even look at wakelocks once! Its kinda like battery, people get too obsessed over it and don't actually enjoy using the phone cuz they're too worried about the little things! This phone will go all day no problems, enjoy it! Don't make a job out of it! ;p

Hey Franco, are any patches that were in r25 going to be added in future releases? I can't WMA radio stream in r28. Don't know if you read any of my previous posts. Keep up the good work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Juppehup:
Read a post somewhere about the usage of the phone and the added value whether the phone had been used or not. Here are my statistics with a day of reasonable usage. Battery dropped to 36% before charging it back up again in my car.... I'm on aokp build 1-1 and r28

Hi all, I just got the phone and flashed franco kernel.

If i want smoothness and reasonable battery life, what setting for governor control would you suggest (above_hispeed_delay, boost, go_hispeed_load etc.)? And I also know that every phones vary, but what Color Multipliers setting are you using? I found the screen a little bit yellowish and I want a pure white.. Really thanks a lot!!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
Leave it at stock values, fransisco knows better.. ;)

Colours, try 235-230-255.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ringo.C:
Okay:D

I will try that!! Thank you so much :good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Ya 27 was bad for drops 28 don't seem an issue , only had 1 since Franco release it ..

I could onl. get maybe 2 hours with stock kernel , reading others experience with it confuses me ;) francos kernel I'm getting bsolutely no issues with your stock settings over 4 hours over and over agn , even wth screen at 70% brightness .

@franco having absolutely no issues with 28 your stock settings and a aokp rom

NO lags , still fast as hell ( faster and smoother than stock for sure !!).

Thank u
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yeah it works just fine!

I'm currently working on the list I posted some pages back. GPU freqs proper scaling is working now I believe, the finger touch coordinates is semi not working yet (I fell asleep on my computer last night :( ). I reverted a few patches and data/wifi connection seems more reliable, made thermal values user configurable etc I blame CES for not letting me work :D

Same issue as this guy, flashed 208 on stock 4.4.3 and it broke wifi. Reverted to stock 4.4.3 kernel and wifi was fixed.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] _artem_:
It's a n4 thread afaik there is no 4.4.3 for mako

Upd: oops there is also factory image 4.4.3 for mako. Sorry
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ken_alpha24:
4.4.3 has new wifi drivers. That's why it doesn't work with r208 in my guess
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
Why Google always release new version of android when Franco is not around?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Yeah, it's the franco-curse :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Franco has stated many times his kernel does not modify WiFi drivers. I may flash 4.4.3 later tonight, I'll see what happens.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ken_alpha24:
Franco may not. But google may that's why franco's stock drivers is incompatible with 4.4.3 new drivers. Make sense?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] KcLKcL:
Oh, cool. I was having wifi problems recently (had to reboot if disconnected, else it won't turn on)

Can't wait to get back home and flash 4.4.3, even though no franco this time :(

(I failed to make a flashable zip this morning, had class so I rushed and couldn't flash lol)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
Someone on G+ stated that r208 works on his mako. Anyone can confirm?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hughfollett:
It should work on 4.4.3 but without wifi

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Franco kernel doesn't have WiFi support, as I know, it means the the WiFi is taken from the Rom - not kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
People should read a bit before repeating like parrots. A kernel uses WiFi (Stock) drivers so in this case it seems current drivers in franco.Kernel need to be updated for 4.4.3.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
So... not to Flush the R208 on 4.4.3 ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
According to a few comments before, no. I haven't tried it myself, though.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] agascon:
A similar problem here. I recently tried another kernel, Matr1x kernel, and when I tried to come back to Franco was not able to set the correct color profile. It looks like it was not applied.

As I was testing the other kernel I though was something related to it, but even after a clean reflash (meaning flashing the whole Stock ROM), problem remains. Really weird problem..

I actually though I could have broked my H/W, but well with Matr1x color can be set without problems.

If you are having similar problems, maybe the issue is in the latest Franco releases or maybe FKU tool.

Any idea??
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] _artem_:
It's fku. On the latest beta as of today there is a more weird color bug... Now colors are applied but weird colors... Tried couple of them screen went violetish switched back to stock color profile... Now everything is bluish. Even notification drawer isn't darkgrey transparent... Now it's blue transparent. Rebooting hope it goes to stock normal (non bluish) color

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Upd: reboot fixed that weird bluish color but when I switch to any other and even back to stock it will again be crapped. So don't try applying color profiles on the latest beta (the one with big blue circle download button and without connection (news) tab)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] agascon:
Hi Artem,

Exactly, it's FKU. I searched through my backups for an older FKU version and using that version the colors are applied successfully using r208.

So mystery solved. For a moment I certainly though I had burned my screen after playing with Trickster/Matr1x and set a really incorrect color values.

Now, just wait Francisco found a minute to fix this...

Thanks!

Ok, putting an off topic question but we Franco kernel people are more vocal than anyone else. So...

Ok, so now the new version of Android is out and I have rooted, bootloader unlocked, Xposed installed, custom recovery, custom kernel and some root apps installed on my nexus 4. Now can anyone tell me how can I upgrade to new Android version without losing any data.

I can put back the stock recovery, stock kernel, I know I can disable the modules in Xposed (don't know if that's gonna help). But don't wanna lose any data and settings. I'm also using a utility to root my phone and it has the sideload option, don't know if that's gonna work with all these things on my phone.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Download an OTA zip file and do it....

Search internet, it's easy !
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] carlosmg2:
My situation (stock + franco kernel+ TRWP recovery + Xposed) and i have just installed the OTA. This is what I did with no data lost:

1- Uninstall Xposed (from inside the installer)

2- Uninstall Cerberus app (because in some cases it modifies system)

2- Flash stock kernel

3- Flash OTA in recovery

* It failed because Franco kernel modifies /system/lib/hw/power.msm8960.so --> so renamed power.msm8960.so.bak to power.msm8960.so

4- Flash OTA in recovery

5- Flash TRWP recovery

6- rooted

Installed r208 and Prima drivers for my gf's N4 since she can't live without Touch Control.
