Hey I'm not sure the exact limitations the nexus 4 has but phones have built in hardware/software limitations on charging rate as to not damage hardware or battery, so that 500mAh may be the maximum rate for Nexus 4, if u find out what it is quote me and let me know (:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JS0724:
Same here. I would also like to know if this is intentional or not.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ilyadan:
Computer USB2 port is limited to 500 mA, USB3 port is limited to 1A. With AC charger I get about 750 mA max.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] buu1152:
How did u flash the boot.img?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ken_alpha24:
Flashify. Or FKU
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
It is intentional. It is actually more battery friendly than having the 2nd going on and off continuously.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JS0724:
Thought that might be why. Thanks for clarifying.

You must have been using hells for a lot of time then because i know only those kernels are still using only 1 core.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ForMartha:
Well, I've decided to change from stock kernel to Franco's one. after digging a lot, it seems that this kernel is the best for me. BUT - i hate start changing things (meaning that i love it automatically working - is the settings within the original kernel are the optimal one)?

hopefully Franco will answer so I'll keep my self clam :)

10x.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
It's not hard to change settings, everything written very well.

If you want, just UnderVolt (-100) (as I did), and change Max CPU and Max GPU to less.

Max CPU for me 1026 works great

Max GPU for me 128 works great - I DON'T PLAY HEAVY GAMES !
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ForMartha:
Still,

I'm asking just because i hate messing around with another tweak applications, just to make sure that the kernel on the 'stock' way is perfect as it is.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
It is perfect.

But... by making changes you can make it even better.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
Franco's stock was good. I only UVing it to 75k.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sublimaze:
Has anyone tried this kernel on the android L preview port?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] T-luvR:
Wow great battery life!!!!

Why its happening! Anything wrong by me or a known issue?!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] steviemch:
It's not compatible with the L port.

LOL your post makes me think i have excellent battery life.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] buu1152:
I just auto-flashed with FKU, but is that different then me going into recovery and flashing myself? Cuz if I remember you can't just flash a boot.img
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Right, you can't flash an IMG in recovery. That's why you need an app like FKU or Flashify to do it. You can also flash an IMG from the bootloader using fastboot while connected to a PC. Here's an easy tutorial if you're curious.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ForMartha:
After Flashing,

Well, the phone seems to work a little bit snappier (no changes in battery life so far,but, it probably will settle and than it could be tested).

one other thing that drive me bananas concerns the poor camera quality of the N4. it seems tho that Google did some work about it in 4.4.4, so the focus lock seems to work faster, but the image quality sucks.

do you guys (by saying guys, I mean Franco), able to work something out? it will make me (and I think a lot of N4 users) happier :)..

P.S - I came across to a topic, while trying to figure out what can be done in order to achieve some good photos, that speaks about video quality (but there are mixed opinions that say that it dosent make any effect).

could you be kind and consider manipulating this thing in order to make our life happier (I'm using my phone as a camera also - as some of the users).

thanks m8 - may the force be with you. L.skywalker.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RootNightmareX:
About the previous post .... Am i the only one that thinks that android l on our phone makes the image more clear?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
Yes that is intended to be that way, Franco did that because it actually waste power to keep hotpluging a core when its on most of the time anyway (touch boost) and it also helps with performance. As far as battery life trust me you won't really see a difference
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gm.cinalli:
I don't think that Nexus 4 has a maximum rate of 500mAh, because the AC adapter has 1A and with Current Widget I can see that it charges almost at 750mAh. The problem is: why, with fast charging enabled, I've also data transfer still active? And why if I disconnect and then reconnect it is disabled, and if I repeat the step above it re-enables itself alternately?

I've a MacBookPro with USB3, so maybe the phone can be charged over 500mAh... My first problem is what I've described above. I think that it's an abnormal behavior.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] X DoZ3R:
Someone tested the boot img on test folder from july 18?is that the r210
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] karthi89:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] BigDig:
Yes it is. And it's working just fine....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
Yup it is and so far so good.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scissorscrush:
Guys see this, this started happening since 3 days ago. The wifi itself shows that it's trying to turn on but actually I didn't even touch it. Then the wifi doesn't turn on or off, it just gets stuck in middle. Here is a screenshot to explain it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] garuhhh:
I saw that happening on mine when I installed the Touch Control module into the stock kernel. Not sure if that helps.. But do u remember doing anything else with the kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scissorscrush:
Nothing, no changes to the kernel at all.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
So I decided to experiment today and turn all cores on, underclock and undervolt and see how battery life/performance go's.... Will report after a full charge cycle. Here are my kernel settings
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] karthi89:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]Is it better to adjusting the cpu temperature threshold to limit cpu speeds rather than under locking it? Battery saving wise which will be better?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fozzie:
That depends on what temperature your device operates at, what applications you have, how often you use them, how much CPU they use, how they impact on the device's temperature, where you set the thermal throttling level, how much you underclock by, what frequencies you under-clock and what frequencies the device uses etc etc etc. There is no answer to your question. You need to try for yourself, for your phone and your usage.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] karthi89:
Mine normally operates between 40-45 and I ve set temp threshold to 40. I just want to know which will be effective? Or both will have same impact?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fozzie:
You've mentioned one of many many factors. There is no answer to your question. You need to try for your phone, your apps, your environment and your usage. And even then, the results will be different each day you use your device.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ForMartha:
Hay guys,

another geeky question. it seems that the voltages are a bit high than possible, it can be that the kernel was flashed incorrectly. what are the default FK version?

this is what i'm getting right now (via Trickester MOD) :

thanks !﻿
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fozzie:
Clear the app settings & reboot. Then you'll be on the default settings. (Your defaults depend on your own CPU's binning. Fwiw, your 1025MHz value is the default for me.)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
So what do you think about the battery life I got with these settings? Have to say... Having all 4 cores stay active even while under clocked kept the phone pretty smooth
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mariocaraujo:
4+ hours of SoT looks really good, gonna try a cycle with your settings.

Brightness on auto?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 3dawg:
Does this kernel set the cpu to 1.2Ghz by default?

Yea thanks I've actually done that before along with putting the boot.img in my rom, I just wanted to verify thanks. Also I'll definitely save that tutorial, it'll come in handy (:

this kernel does not boot on MIUI 4.4.2
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tkalli:
Did you read the OP

Don't bother asking for this as I will ignore you:

- GPU overclock

- Lower UV limit (default is 700mV)

- Lower CPU frequencies (minimum is 384MHz)

- sleep2wake

- Stupid governors

- MIUI support
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] shakatu:
Trying your options and getting better battery already! Doubt I'll hit 4 hr sot but it's still better than usual!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
No to be rude but that was stated in the op. Just so that you'll know what's going on, in order for a kernel to work with miui I has to use the "any kernel" install method. If I remember right this will pull the ramdisk mods made in the miui kernel and use it in the kernel you're installing and this makes it work with miui

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] GaspRulez:
Can I flash this kernel with the TWRP?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sidnoit22:
Yes.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] GaspRulez:
Clicking install in the recovery mode there isn't any Franco kernel flashable file
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
Use fku and press download zip, the zip will be in the root of the internal storage. You can flash it with twrp
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] GaspRulez:
What is fku? [emoji15]
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] omer7:
Franco kernel updater (app)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] GaspRulez:
I used flashify, thank you
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
OK.... So just use that to flash the kernel bro lol
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Sir_gpm:
Is possible that someone do a flashable of r210?.

Enviado desde mi Nexus 4 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] shakatu:
Kinda posting for my sake too so I don't have to install r209 again via zip just to install r210 via FKU when updating AOSPA each week... lol
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Does not compute. You can flash IMG's via Flashify. Easy, easy & done.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] shakatu:
Or I use TWRP and install the new AOSPA update, the new PA Gapps update, and the latest franco kernel all at the same time... I have certain ring tones and alarms I need to manually copy to /system/media. So I can also do it from within TWRP after the update and not fix all their permissions every time. Then it reboots with the sounds already set and I'm good to go!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Yeah, I know it's more convenient that way, I normally do the same. However, I bet you reboot not too long after a clean flash for something or other. Perfect time to queue up something in Flashify.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rohit02:
Guy searched for the problem but didnt get any help so posting it here.

I had flashed 210 kernel and using FKU it said new version 209 to download so I downloaded that and flashed it, but stil FKU is showing/asking to download 209. :( It aint showing the option to customize the kernel.

Any help?

P.S : I was on ak, cleared all the files related to it using Awesome kernel cleaner and then flash this.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
R210 is not final version for now, so FKU doesn't recognize it.

Flash r210 from TESTS folder in Franco downloads and DON'T update with FKU.

you can check the version in FKU it should be r210!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rohit02:
You not getting me.. I want the FKU to show the customization options.. I am ok with 209. FKU is not going pass that download screen.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Got it.

It happens to me too sometimes, I just kill the FKU with back button (gravity box option) and start it again.

Like End task in windows.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Yes, that's FKU's default screen. Try opening the menu, that's where all the goodies are. ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rohit02:
Did that earlier.. Solved the problem updated the app. dumb me.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Regarding the 4 cores always on setup: If you search the thread, you'll see that it's been discussed multiple times (you might get some useful info from there). Generally it hasn't been concluded if it's better battery wise to run 4 cores at lower freq (meaning optimised governor tunables) but I can tell you my experience.

A long time ago when I was testing the default hotplug value with quad core, I optimised the tunables so the overall frequency used by the quad core setup was much lower and still kept the device as smooth. I didn't underclock, just made the higher freqs more "difficult" to reach. What I got from it was similar battery life, equal smoothness (no or minimal lag), and lower overall temperature on the quad core setup. BUT even though both setups were equally smooth the quad core was actually slower to load stuff – like loading apps. The waiting time was slightly longer due to the low frequency, as it seems. So I chose to keep the normal dual core with hotplugging.

What I could recommend you to try also is familiarise yourself with the hotplug tunables and try to optimise that, so it turns on/off the cores less frequently (not necessarily more difficult). For example make them more difficult to turn off, once they're on. Try and test different setups.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rod3:
That's because it is not implemented in franco kernel. There is still the old unfinished double tap to wake code. Using a file explorer, go to sys/module/lge_touch_core and change the N to a Y in the double tap file.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
There's no option for that because there's no Kernel interface for it.

Yep, if anyone wants to be on an older version, go to 4.3 jellybean, that one is actually worth it due to WebKit text reflow working in all browsers and apps, better flash support, and better gps icon behavior.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
You'll get the same effect by putting the phone in a microwave while you play an intense game

In all seriousness why would you want to? In theory, over clocks are supposed to increase performance but the thing with mobile chipsets is there's a limit as to how effective OCs are, and in reality you aren't getting any better performance but a hell of a lot more heat. If overclocking the S4 Pro provided any benefit then I'm sure Franco would have added it back with r1.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
Any fix for this?

I know its because of mpdecision but this only started happening since the last build
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
... Nope, just turn of logcat bro
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
It's being caused because the un needed and already stripped out mpdecision deamon is still somehow running, even though it's only an empty service and not an actual hotplug any more. It takes a minor toll on performance and touch latency because logcat is forced to write thousands of errors every 5 mins to say "hey franco wtf u rmoved mpdecision hotplug but left da service running u moron now here enjoy a big red 'E' >:)"
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] icu64:
Ok... But until he fixes it just turn logcat off using fku and you won't have that issue
