Hell Franco, r30 is smoooottthhh :D

I always had a slight lag when I scrolled in Apps>all Apps, also on other devices (S3 :rolleyes:), but now... its flying :D

Thank you.

r29 and r30 the performance seems to dropped for me.

Tried on the game Subway Surfers.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiloo.subwaysurf&hl=en

Beginning of the game it is fine. A bit of laggy. But after some game it starts to lag badly that it is quite impossible to play. I flashed to r23 and it works fine all the way. Even the starting is smoother than r29 and r30. Going to try r27 and r28....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] PDP///M:
Hey Franco, still having issues streaming WMA radio stations on tunein with r30. Everything else is smooth sailing. Going back to r25 for now. Let me know what I can do to help.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ck2009:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tanjiajun_34:
You try running the Antutu benchmark 2d and 3d test. Then go and try play that game. By 20 mins, you mean 1 round 20 mins or you keep restarting?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
All cores go online for a few minutes after boot because the media scanner does its regular scanning. After that load is lower and they wont go crazy again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
Can you try playing it after a reboot?

If I use the phone heavily all day, use loads of RAM and then try to play a heavy game, maybe there could be a bit of lag..

Wanted to finish my longevity test with R29 before going to R30. Very impressed.

CM10.1 Nightly (which apparently sucks for battery, so I'm looking forward to see what MiNCO may do on my phone).

1 day 4 hours on battery

Over 1 hr of phone calls

4 hours on screen time (Auto Brightness, a lot of browser, tapatalk, a little youtube, and some texting). I think I could get 5+ if I didn't have any phone calls... but at the end of the day, this is a phone! :p

Network Location is ON. Location Reporting for Latitude is Off. Google Now is on. CM's Weather widget syncing every 4 hours. Gmail Sync and 1 IMAP account sync (every 10 minutes). Gtalk is on. Google + sync is off and no notifications (I barely use this app). I use twitter and facebook through the browser. I use the Zendesk app for my job, so it has a push service built-in (no noticeable drain from this).

Mostly Wifi and a little Data (ATT) - 80/20 ratio I'd guess.

Screenshots attached.

I flashed my phone r30. Ok playing was terrible so I flash r23. Game play is smooth so I try r28. Smooth as well. Then I flash r30. Smooth?! I thought might r30 at the start and the problem was solved but then I run Antutu benchmark to try out then I tried playing the game... The lag is back... -.-

On stock Android btw...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] evostevo1:
R30 is smooth for me. Nice work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
Your phone probably heats up because of antutu and is still lagging because you are trying to play the game too soon? Try playing it on a fresh boot.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sasho36:
Thanks Franco for your time and great work! For me, this kernel is nearly perfect for everyday use, it's lag free and really battery friendly !

I rarely play games on the device but had some time today and tried NFS MW to see if it lags, and yes, it does (if I compare it with my TF300t ).

I used Cool tool to monitor online cores and temp while playing. The temp was between 30-32°C, so it doesn't lag because of throttling. But there was only 1 core online unless I swipe the screen, then the second will come in but after some secs it will go offline again. It's strange because the load was always near 100% for the first and near 90% for the second core.

After that, I tried Quadrant and the 4 cores were always online while testing CPU (normal) but 3 of them will go offline right after the beginning of the 3D test and will stay offline (unless I swipe the screen). Then after 2 or 3 Quadrant runs the 4 cores will always stay online, even on home screen. If try NFS then, (with the 4 cores online) it's absolutely lag free. The 4 cores will stay online until I turn the screen off. When I turn it back on, it's normal again (4 cores boost on screen on then 1 core Online, 2 when swiping).

I don't know how the hotplug driver works, but if I understood well, it checks the GPU freq to prevent cores to go online to often. So maybe the GPU freq isn't high enough while playing and then the hotplug driver is preventing cores to go online.

Thanks again Franco for your work! You're a great Dev!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Your device is throttling due to heat. I already posted the path if you want to increase the threshold.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SchmilK:
A great real time CPU monitor is

I've been using it since I got my nexus and especially useful since playing with the Franco kernel and app :). I prefer it above the status bar for easier viewing.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Performance seems exactly the same here , battery is going down even slower tho , gained 20% better battery from 28 to 29 , now looks like I'm Omw for even better , Franco how u do that ? ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] calanizzle:
Today I'll try XylCo combo (Xylon + Franco), will post impressions!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jmejiaa:
Can the kernel somehow stop Play apps from being compatible?

I can't install NFS MW and someone suggested it may be because of Franco kernel as they were able to install on stock but not Franco.. NFS is the only one giving me issues so I don't understand how this could be Kernel related.

If so, what's the workaround? Another temp kernel to install the game?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] capcanuck:
I hate to be "that guy", but I've tried everything, even 30 minutes after leaving my device sit, I still get all cores online. If I turn my screen off then back on, it stops, but as soon as I engage in any kind of task and go back and check my cpu states, they're all stuck at 384 again.. Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
Yes same here.

@ Franco

Following situation, if you stress the device so that all 4 cores are online, then they don't offline themselves until you turn your screen off/on again.

You can try using eg. stability test app for 5 secs to force all 4 cores on, exit it, then you will see that all cores are still online and stay that way.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks for the details, that will help me :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] direwolf1:
I'm using that combo now. Really liking it-- very smooth, stable, and great battery life. Only two issues, and it would be great if you could see whether you can replicate them:

1. Bluetooth headset doesn't work well. Drops signal constantly, and lots of clicking. Seems like no one else is having this issue, so maybe it's the hardware.

2. Weird gps issue where distance trackers (i.e. running apps) vastly overestimate distances, though they map the right route and GPS works fine in other apps. At least one other user has reported this issue on franco's kernel in a thread in the q&a section but on a different ROM, so seems like it might be kernel related.

Planning on trying codefirex + motley next week to see if it fixes anything.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
The GPS issue was fixed at least on CM. It was a bug in Dalvik as far as I remember. nothing to do with the Kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Does it have to do with what you were planning on implementing with forcing cores online under heavy GPU load? I know that was in your todo list awhile ago :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] GJ123:
No default at the moment is 918Mhz, as seen in franco's kernel app ;)

I bought the app yesterday and the app is just brilliant! Glad to support franco with the money!:good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
hm I only have enable_all_load_threshold, guess you meant that.

enable_load_threshold on 500 also doesn't change the behavior.

No problems with Blutooth either. Using Jabra Freeway in my car, works really good, connects really fast, doesn't drop connection. Only complaint is that the sound is really loud on default:)

One more thing, Blutooth used to destroy my HTC Desire battery, but here seems to be extremely low consuming.

Running stock ROM, rooted, v30 Franco, all silky smooth. Decided that buttery smooth sounds too cheesy, so from now on, it's silky smooth for me!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Nothing to do with Kernel. Something EA changed with their side in the Play Store. Flash the stock kernel and try it if you want to test your theory.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] osi13:
There is something definitely wrong with Bluetooth on the N4. I use Sync in my car and the audio quality over BT is subpar. I can hear popping noises and it generally sounds a lot worse than my Galaxy Nexus and N7. It is very noticeable while comparing the same media. Although, the N7 has issues of its own and occasionally sound will "drop out." This is not the fault of Franco, as the BT issue was apparent on stock. Anyway, this kernel is just great. I had over 4 hours and 45 minutes of screen time yesterday and I was very surprised. I was using r29, by the way.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tweaked:
It works perfectly in my car and on my Stereo blutooth Head phones.

Its your Stereo. Not the N4.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a couple of other kernels (clearing caches and flashing stock reset in between), harsh ran as hot as r29 - hitting 43 degrees, top part of phone way too hot for my comfort level just doing things like surfing/listening to music with screen off.

Currently on faux, intellidemand/deadline and UV -175 across board and phone is flying and average temps regardless of what I'm doing of 27-33 (absolute max I've seen with long continuous usage) degrees.

I'm happy for now... Will try future builds of Franco but faux is working really perfectly for me right now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Slymobi:
1st off ...... Sorry if this is a silly question and has been answered.

Can anybody tell me the download path of the kernel etc when autoflashing with Franco's app. ( where the download is stored ) and if I can save a little space by safely deleting it maybe !?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Bluetooth in Car - Both music and calls seem to work for me, AVRCP meta info (1.3) doesn't work but I think that's a problem with CM 10.1 at the moment.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] awtacular:
Good luck getting an answer. I asked this a couple 100 pages back and never got a answer because of all the random idiots complaining about stupid stuff irrelevant to the kernel. However I think it might just be a temporary image and is replaced by each new one. I myself just started downloading the zip. Also the only thing I could find on my phone was under data/user/0/com.franco.kernel theres a boot.img so I assume that might be the image for the auto flash. I'm not 100% sure so hopefully we will find out.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Slymobi:
Nope, that's just the basic download path.

What I mean is when you choose auto flash from Franco app it says downloading and installing, then it reboots etc etc so where has the app downloaded the kernel to ? And once its flashed is there a file that is now safe to delete.

If I manually download the kernel without the app I am given a zip to flash from recovery and once its flashed I can delete the zip I downloaded...... This is what I am asking?

Does using Franco's app create an unnecessary kind of zip that can be deleted after ?

The Bluetooth quality issue is a known bug or problem in Android 4.2 and it affects all devices running that version of Android. I also immediately noticed this problem when I got my Nexus 4. If someone says it's not affecting their Nexus 4 it's because they don't know what to listen to

Huge thumbs up to whatever changed in regards to the msm_hsic_wakelock issue between r28 and r29. Went from 15% down to 5-7% now. Awesome job, franco.

I'll test this later, but I definitely recall being on wifi and streaming audio to bluetooth speakers just fine.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] awtacular:
Your still not getting anywhere with this. Yes it's an image file. The question still remains... Where is the image file located? This is basically as far as this question got when I asked it back on page 270 something. This is all the guy is trying to find out.

Edit - The image is stored in data/user/0/com.franco.kernel/. The file name is boot.img. The image is automatically replaced with each new auto flash you do. I know this now because the last time I did an auto flash was 12/24 and that was the date on the boot.img. I just now flashed the latest kernel via auto flash and the date on the image file is 1/11. Hopefully this is a better answer for you than "sdcard".
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] veyka:
Just tried a WMA station on tunein (BBC radio 1), worked fine.

Look, now that the hsic patches have been reverted, network issues are most likerly to be carrier or modem related, rather than kernel.

Hopefully 4.2.2 or whatever will bring a new radio, and fixes for these wake locks, until then let's try not blaming the kernel for everything.

*suspend back off wakelock is caused by to many user land (aka rom/apps) wake locks in quick succession, so rather than sleeping and waking the phone rapidly, that wakelock is held till things calm down.

*quick reboots (aka when you only see the animation and not the boot splash, splash being the screen with the padlock icon on it if your booyloader is unlocked) are caused by the rom, not the kernel, a kernel panic will dump you back to splash.

*bootloops are a rom issues not kernel issues

*hsic wakelock is a fast of life until new kernel source from Google/LG or maybe new qcom patches which don't break gps, data and slim port.

Tl;Dr blame network or modem for data issues, blame iffy apps or rom for wakelock issues, hsic is just a fact of life

Also "It's broken!!11!oneone" is not a valid bug report, look at how the guy a few pages back described the slowdown in a game, they have detailed info about the problem, and data about what the cores where doing etc.

People are not mind readers!
