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

So what is the default core behavior of 67? Using single core only? I only ask because after turning the even off and back on only core 0 is used for the next few seconds but then all of them start to be used shortly there after

is there a script to re-enable hotplugging? i am testing battery between 2 core and hotplugging. it would also be awesome to hotplug using only 2 cores, I think that would be a good alternative for people who would rather take a more conservative approach than a performance approach. It's difficult to balance between the users who want performance and those who want battery life. BTW, I love the colors on 68. grungy like the '80s

reverted from r68 to r67 because actually after testing a couple of hours, didn't like the new colors. Definately in r68 Gamma is way too dark (so that I had to increase my default low brightness setting from 10 to 25 on a 0-255 scale), and also the colors are more intense, especially yellow, orange and red offended my eyes. have r67 color calibrated with Franco app to 238, 228, 240 (got these values from someone here on XDA who used professional color calibrating equipment to measure them). would appreciate also if Franco could include more controls (i.e. Gamma) in the color profile section of his app.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] vladm7:
For the sake of people who will be searching forum for default / stock voltage (as I spent quite a few time on this), I'm gonna transcribe the above screenshot :

CPU Freq Default voltage, mV
384 850
486 875
594 900
702 925
1026 950
1188 1100
1350 1125
1512 1150

it's commonly believed that most can safely UV by 100mV from the above values. Some can do -150, depends on your CPU sample.

Was wondering why I wasn't getting any updates in the app, some stuff has been going on here! I flashed 68 and saw the new colors. Yes, some things looked better - whites were less blue (though a little darker), and most colors more vivid. However, I noticed a lot of banding/blotchiness, especially in lower quality pictures (like those received via MMS). Going to stick with 67 for now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] necksis:
I've been using r68 since last night when it was posted, and at first I thought the colors seemed a little dark like many of you. I've given it some time though and they have really grown on me. I just picked up my wife's Nexus 4 (running r53) and her colors just seem so washed out now.

Just a little bit ago I did install Lux Free (will probably buy the full version since it is pretty awesome), and with it controlling my brightness this screen looks unbelievably gorgeous.

I'm running r68 now, a fantastic kernel revision I must say.

Only gripe: colours are too dark, is there anyway to brighten it a bit? I like the fact the colours are less washed out, but it looks like the tweak was overdone.

I was looking at the colour tuning but it's already set at 255,255,255 by default according to the Franco Kernel app so I believe that's the brightest it can go.

Any thoughts on how to make the colours less dark?

I'm on r68 and Touch Control works perfectly fine. Make sure you're on the latest one.

As for r68 itself, I agree that the default color settings makes the screen a little too dark. But as everyone else has suggested, Lux balances that out pretty well!

Performance seems fine so far, and I haven't had sufficient time to test battery. Will report back if I notice any aberrations.
