The sensor is looking for 0 so all is fine :) The wrong number, which is in the stock kernel is 7 ;)

@ Franco ,

Got bored , tryed out some other kernels out there , waist of time I'm already back here :p .but I noticed and don't no if an issue or how it works cause I'm no dev but faux kernel replaces the power.msm.8960.so ( powerhaul right ?) file with his own version , and after coming back to your kernel that file dose not get replaced back with ROMs ( stock one ) . something u prob already no but I'll mention anyway just in case that could be causing some of the issues only some have .... Haven't seen it mentioned be4

What was your experience with the other kernels?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ben_pyett:
lets stay talking about the thread, if you wish to discuss and compare the other kernels then you should create a new thread in general section.

Please do a search on this thread about gamma and you will have your answer I dont have time to repeat.

Hmm good point. I might force 2 cores online while the GPU is on max freq, shouldnt be too hard!

I game just fine. But really I dont give a rats ass about gaming.

Well I dont know wtf is faux doing. There is no source for the msm8960 powerhall, either he reverse engineered and changed something in the binary code or I dont know.

Hi,

I have weird one for you guys. Stock 4.4

The Game GT Racing 2 crashes while loading with the r197 (everything in kernel settings is default). It opened fine with stock. Didn't open the game while on r196.

Is this my phone or something in the Kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mara-:
I also noticed this. Is it because of kernel? Does it happen on stock?

For anyone wondering: you can use r197 on 4.4.1. At least it's working for me and I have no problems so far
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jmudrick:
Even as a committed Francophile it mystifies me that people would want to instantly go back to a Franco kernel without taking the time to experience and evaluate what Google has done. You certainly can't say anything to compare performance if you don't live with stock 4.4.1 for a while.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
You mean the stock 4.4.1 kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
You should read the N5 fk thread. People flashed the kernel within 10 minutes of receiving the phone, and then were saying what great battery life they got with the kernel.

Hello?? Compared to what? Lol.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] redsmith:
To be honest, I just can't live without gamma control. Regarding mpdecision vs custom hotplugs, in more than one occasion I've done research about each side without understanding every nut and bolt, so I've long decided to blindly trust our devs =)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jokkir:
From my experience, even with updates, the experience with stock (at least with the kernel) is more or less the same. And this should be the same for, what I'm assuming, is a small incremental update to the previous kernel version.

And if a certain thing satisfies/impresses a person (kernel, software, whatever), you shouldn't be surprised that there are people willing to update right away back to the configuration they are familiar with.

For me, I like how Franco kernel manages the CPU than the stock kernel. Especially since Franco doesn't use MPDecision while stock does. I found really mediocre battery life with it on and Franco kernel seemed to have addressed and fixed those issues I was having. Instead of going back to the pain I had with stock, why don't I just switch? That's what I did and sure many others did as well though their decision is probably different like adjusting the display colours.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jmudrick:
Oh I won't live without it either, and I'll be back to r198 as soon as it's out and I've had some time to gauge performance and battery life with stock 4.4.1. I don't know how we can provide FF with constructive feedback without at least taking a couple or a few days to do that.

Brothers, I have a general questions.

Do you keep WiFi on at all times even when you're done using it, or do you switch it on and off a lot? I'm a huge WiFi fan, so I'm trying to figure out if its better for the battery to just keep it on all the time, or always switch it on and off right after you're done using it.

Hoping to get some insight from more experienced users than myself :)

Thanks.

What you say doesn't make any sense. How would he get such a high SOT without using the phone?

I would agree with you if his phone survived for 2-3 days with a low SOT, but that is not the case.

[MENTION=4480800]Adee.roy[/MENTION], can you write what your settings are? Any UV? Your CPU binning?

I'm used to my custom gamma settings, it just looks horrible to me without those. I of course understand what you're saying if you're comparing with stock though.

Hmm, why dont all those apps show up in your battery use screen then?

When I "use" my phone every day with Tapatalk, Hangouts, Chrome, WhatsApp, bit of gaming etc... I get the app usage showing and my SOT time barely hits 4.5 hours.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RohanM:
may be he is bluffing, by taking taking screnshots at same time but on different day... u can get whatever SOT by charging in middle.. so take a screen shot of that & then take a battary graph geniun screen shot at same time but on different day.. voila.. u cheated successfully. :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It is easily possible to just keep the screen on without using any apps.

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work though.

You or an installed app changed the build.prop and you have to have the stock-version installed for ota-updates to work.

That's very light usage. No voice calls, gaming, real web browsing. I think a lot of people's problem with the penis measuring battery time is that it's not really reflective of the average smart phone use and most of the time the phone is just idling.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] spacebar2011:
For future reference: To flash OTA, you will need to flash system.img, boot.img (in case of Franco or any other custom kernel installed) from the factory image of the preceding build. This will NOT touch your personal data or user apps. Also, after flashing OTA zip, flash the SuperSU zip while still in recovery, to keep root.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rajendra82:
I was on Franco kernel with 4.4, and I updated to 4.4.1 just fine. You have to fastboot and flash the factory boot.img and system.img from 4.4 for the OTA to work. The download only contains patches, and if your /system partition has been modified in any way, the check before the patch will fail. Flashing the two files will not result in any loss of settings or apps. You will need to reroot and reinstall busybox after updating. Of course you will also need to reflash Franco kernel afterwards too.
