Does anybody here can achieve a super smooth scroll in Tapatalk or Facebook? I guess the smoother I got was with stock kernel (mpdecision maybe?) but battery is crap!

Even with input boost set to 1512 in M3 I can't achieve that "smooth" iOS feeling.

I really like franco. Kernel and I would like to have the best performance possible regarding things like micro stuttering when scrolling, smooth animations, etc

Already tried to search for values to change in the governor but I'm getting mixed opinions. Timer rate, high-speed frequency, etc.

I get that M3 is performing very well and it's really fast. But I really like animations smooth. I don't know why I value this so much, but seeing stutters really get on my nerves! :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Super smooth for me. Using stock settings for the most part when it comes to governors and all that. Did you try clearing app cache on FKU app if u use it?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 3dupunk:
I was just gonna comment on how smooth it feels, and I'm underclocked [MENTION=4199750]118[/MENTION]8 with everything else stock.

have you tried the per app settings? If not then you should and remember, sometimes app just suck! ;)

After flashing m3 the signal bar and wifi bar are grey and wont get blue. Anyone knows why? I was using m2 and using modaco cmod as rom.

What are your governor settings?

Well I think I have the last fb app. No updates available.

Tapatalk Beta really not smooth but as I said, I know it's in beta and is poorly made, but it was smoother with r666 and stock kernel I think.

Can UV impact the scrolling smoothness?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hospital349:
If you really want to go all out (which I usually do, 'cos that's what we have these uber-devices for) - you should try hispeed_freq @ 1026MHz and input_boost_freq @ [Max CPU Frequency].

Performance literally doesn't get any better than that. Totally sensational!

Of course! Major smoothness and battery improvements. As in 1 or more hours of screen on time and smooth everywhere(almost)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] username8611:
Between m2 and m3, there have been some wicked improvements in performance, smoothness, and battery life. Rock solid stability also. Been using it for a few days now, and as much as I love bouncing between this and trinity, this may be the one that keeps me on Franco. Also, I'm glad to see that faux color has NOT been added, nearly every kernel has it and it completely drives me away from it, its wayyyy too complicated to get the screen looking good. A huge thanks for allowing me to tweak my interactive settings again, previously I would set what I want, and the kernel would override them.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ben_pyett:

Its the frequency of which the CPU gets boosted to when you touch the screen.

Tried increase the volt +25 above 1512MHz but still got reboot :( btw I've got it fast bin

Nope I didn't, firstly I did only OC max to 1728MHz with stock voltage and slowly increase the voltage by +25 each freq above 1512MHz but no avail. perhaps I should increase the voltage some more? Thanks! :highfive:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] toxicbubble:
This was mentioned about 10 pages back but this thread moves fast. For those who have had some performance issues on higher end games, I've found the reason this was occurring for my usage and phone.

The combination of the 60° C thermal threshold and the aggressive dynamic governor scaling when 4 cores are online was causing me to throttle after a few minutes, even at -150mV with a faster binned chip. I think the dynamic governor settings for 4 cores are keeping the CPU up at higher frequencies more than is necessary for reasonable performance, which is causing it to heat faster. Also note that it's winter here in my half of the world so ambient temperatures aren't a lot with a 14°C high.

I changed the governor settings to somewhere in between the '2 core' and '4 four' settings (disabled dynamic scaling). ATM I am using 20000 for all three tunables (above_hispeed_delay, min_sample_time and timer_rate) and things are smooth with minimal battery impact to normal low intensity usage. This reduced heat and therefore throttling while gaming so the overall performance is better and more consistent, even though the settings are 'slower'. I also set the thermal threshold up to 65°C just to give a little extra headroom.

Wondering if anyone else is seeing similar results to me? I know it's not possible to change the dynamic tunable settings but wonder if they should be tweaked to be a little bit less aggressive?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Drmol:
Is it a good idea to set high load threshold to 0 for all my games? I mean I'm looking to get the best performance possible, but I'm not sure how much this will affect the battery life / CPU and battery temps? Can I use it without worrying about those things very much?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gravitysandwich:
If you undervolt some bit, it will help. Real Damage to the CPU is done at 90° C or more, so if your looking best performance, make the high threshold 0 and over clock to 1.72 GHz. Set the the thermal throttle threshold to 80° C and Yea. I've managed to get this temp with these settings so be careful. Hit 85°C

I've had 3 rma replacement nexus 4's for sleep of death issues and on the one i have now as soon as i flashed M3 i got the SOD issue. any chance this kernel is causing SOD ? i find it hard to beleive all 3 phones were faulty. and it never happened once with the stock kernel for over a month until i missed the colour / gamma mod too much, and flashed M3.

thoughts ?

What is that sleep of death issue ? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noobdeagle:
all stock except franco m3, and franco settings are default as installed only with recommended gamma values used. nothing else has been changed. no apps are installed either apart from the base google ones that ship with the phone; this was the case with all 3 phones.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

basically the phone gets stuck in deep sleep and fails to respond unless you force a reboot (vol up + pwr). quite often it will show on reboot that there is significant and sudden battery drain.

when stuck in this sleep state the phone will not trigger alarms or alerts which is very irritating.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I think u may be the first one to mention a SoD since android 4.1 with this kernel, i seen your post say all stock dose that include your rom? Some phones dont like the low suspend freq try raise it to "1000" freq.

Next time just go to playstore open app then back out, update button will show up now , sometimes it takes few times but faster than reboot :)

yes factory stock rom just rooted and franco kernel;

how would suspend frequency be affecting this ?, seeing as it wouldn't be hitting even the lowest frequency in deep sleep ?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
The issue I expect is the screen turning off as gamma gets set which iv read here can cause SOD for some. I don't own the device but that's my guess so don't change your gamma values keep it to what ever stock is
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
No, just don't turn off your screen while Gamma is being set.

This usually leads to a reboot anyway, not a SOD...

Not all chips are equal it seems. There are slow, nominal, fast and faster. From what I've read here on XDA some people can oc UV and whatevs on a nominal same as on a faster. And other can't. Some people have faster and can do crazy UV while others who have faster can't. Seems to vary a lot from phone to phone. But I do know that by default fast and faster binned chips are at a lower voltage then nominal and slow. Does it make much of a difference in the end? Depends entirely on the owner and their perspective and use I believe.
