Because Franco hasn't added Gamma interface into his kernel. Or maybe I'm wrong?

About the personal preferences, I'm fine with personal preferences, but just don't talk like your personal preference=accurate color. Not directing to you of course, but that's my stance, unless you have calibration equipment.

anyone else using that lux auto brightness app with r69? i tried it with my tablet and it sure makes the screen alot better! but of course its just 100% brightness, its kinda misleading app, i think it sucks more battery life then saves

Same issue with my N4 using r53. I don't care much for the benchmark result but couple of times in last 15 days my phone randomly shuts down (I can feel the heat in my hands - gets hot) and battery dies to 0%. Will not boot without a charger.

Sorry no log file saved - probably not helpful post but just wanted to mention. Never happened on any of the previous versions of the kernel.

Thanks for the hard work, Franco!

Alright, I assumed it was a franco kernel problem because I didn't have a problem with AnTuTu when I was on stock kernel.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mjehan:
I like how the kernel has been developing now that UV is involved and hotplugging has gotten smarter. I have some suggestions regarding the optimum mix of all variations based on hotplugging :

- Core 1 Max speed 1512 MHz (Interactive ) -> Screen off only 1 core in use

- Core 2 Max speed 1512 MHz (Interactive) -> Screen on Core 1 and 2 online all the time

- Core 3 Max speed 1026 MHz (Conservative/Performance) -> Core 3 onlines instantly only when core 1 and 2 are 95% loaded and offlines when the load falls under 95%

- Core 4 Max Speed 1026 MHz (Conservative/Performance) -> Helps Core 3 manage the load when it crossed 50% and goes instantly online. Offline as soon as it falls under 50%

Best I/O Scheduler: Deadline/Cfq

I would like to see the thermal throttling threshhold lowered since CPUs are very robust and the longer core 1 and 2 are allowed to run at full speed the later core 3 and 4 will online and the better the battery life will be. And when thermal throttling is active can we have 2 core available all the time at 1026 Mhz.

PS: -100mV across the board seems to work for everyone so should be recommended. Those with Fast/Faster CPUs try -150mV. Take pictures with your camera to make sure UV is not messing things up.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NoLunchBox_:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

I noticed that I can't UV under 700 for 384mhz on r69...I could do it before to 675. Anyone noticed this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
I like that way that you are thinking... I have had similar ideas as well. I would allow the flexibility to specify the max speed on any core to allow performance when needed instead of capping at 1026 (core 3 and 4). Straight forward thresholds (when the cores go online according to CPU demands) could be defaulted but still have custom percentage values when to go online (similar values process are already in Franco's app).

I am currently using -100mV across the board (except 1026) so I concur.

Overall, great summary and ideas!

I'm running a -100mV undervolt across all frequencies, putting me at 950mV@1.4GHz on motley's kernel and I'm getting fantastic battery life. It just sips power when it's idle. I had it sit at 64% 2 nights ago for over 4 hours. Last night it was at 69% for over 2. The graph was just a straight line. Undervolting works, seriously.

Well, I just regret not having tried this kernel before, I could have saved some money that I used to buy another kernel control app...

Is the colour control going to be integrated in the kernel updater I bought or we'll have to buy the other app you made for that?

Franco, your kernel is godly. I'm getting insane battery life. I'm averaging 30 minutes of screen on time per 10% and just sips power when idle. I wonder how long the battery will last in airplane mode :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ManOnTheMoon:
I'm getting the best battery life ever. If your thinking about switching do it. Great job
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] digitalfrost:
Franco:

Holy crap is the battery life good with this kernel! I've been optimizing battery usage for the last few days with BetterBatteryStats. Have usually tested over night, last measurement resulted in 1.2%/h. Since I flashed your kernel usage is down to 0.4%/h, and this is with me lightly using the phone.

Also I fully support your structured development approach - sure I want performance improvements, but I need something that I can use every day with sane defaults. Just bought your app :).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Logi_Ca1:
Franco isn't against undervolting, he just wants to leave it until the kernel is stable, to prevent users reporting instability that might be caused by undervolting and not something within the kernel itself.

I love undervolting too, but I'm willing to wait until Franco decides that this is stable enough for it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] newspeak:
I've had unexpected reboots twice on r13 ...not that i think its related but the last time was when I was checking for updates just now on the control app

I can't replicate it unfortunately ...I haven't touched much on the app except my max cpu is set to 1224

Just wondering if it could be caused by any of the settings?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prod1702:
Wow man i think someone has asked for UV on every page you can't search for it. I am going to laugh when Franco doesn't put in UV for awhile just because he is getting tired of people that keep asking for it. People need to learn to search.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
This kernel doesn't need UV, battery life is so much better than stock as is with no settings changes at all!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rlpaul:
Seeing definite improvement with each revision, thanks! Battery is definitely noticeably improving with each update. The current r13 may have me finally putting the Note to rest for good :)

I haven't noted the slowness everybody else is seeing, but then the N4 is so much faster than the GNex I probably haven't become "used" to the faster speed yet.

I did have one lock-up on the phone with r13 so far (wouldn't return from sleep), but I'm willing to put that down as a one-off - hasn't happened since. If it happens again, I'll do some digging and let you know, not convinced that it was necessarily kernel related at this point.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kroovy:
Do you guys have location services and everything disabled? I tested leaving the phone idle overnight off the charger and I had 8 hours idle time and the battery drained to 84%, or 2%/hr. I am running with all location/sync services however (as I use all of that stuff) and wifi off, running r13.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
I put my phone into airplane mode when I leave it overnight. Doesn't go down 1%... I mainly put airplane mode because I don't want to be disturbed while I sleep :) no point in having the phone idle with data/sync/etc on while i sleep.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rojovelasco:
For me the best thing of this kernel, besides the obvious improvements, is the awesome update cadence. This is my first Android with franco's kernel so I dont know if this will persist on time but for now its very good to see that the author takes care about it.

And, regarding to the UV thing.. is your intention to change the values internally (personal choices as the same of the rest of the kernel modifications) or just let the posibility to change the values by the user, like frequencies?

In any case, muito obrigado Franco!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] elliot.newnham:
For people having random reboots try removing HD widgets (or a similar program that constantly poles your location) this is a known issue and fixed my reboots.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] iammudd:
I've previously asked whether scheduling can be directed to specific cpu's to exploit async gov strategies... but currently, cpu assignment appear random to me. (Even with the new hotplug, sometimes you can see on perfmon that cpu4 would be maxed while cpu3 is near idle.) If so, varying gov params between cores would currently yield random results. By capping cores 3 and 4 might actually yield poorer interactive performance.

Also, you wouldn't want to go offline immediately. Franco said that what originally prompted the testing of constant online cores was the cost of re-queuing. If tasks were re-queued from one core to another, more work (and more lag) is introduced. It would be better to simply complete all current tasks (and not schedule any new ones) on that core.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] starscream92:
What are the stock values for the hotplug routine tunables:

- Online all cores threshold,

- Online a single core threshold, and

- Offline a single core threshold?

Thanks in advance.

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

+1

I can't say if these are same as PA since I've never used but they are less washed out then r67 and I've got it on auto brightness and I don't find anything too dark compared to r68. So far r69 looks awesome.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] starscream92:
Pretty sure it's CPU load. I changed them to 375, 250, and 120 for some performance improvements (it used to be at 375, 200, and 80, to mimic Motley's hotplug default parameters but noticed some instabilities with the cores' onlining/offlining and clocks).

Just to share, here's my UV config for my fast-binned Nexus 4 (simply -100 mV across the board). I have them set on boot since it's been very stable so far.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tkalli:
Using the same -100 mV and have not had any problems, either.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fkrone:
I don't know whether this can be implemented by kernel but I'd like to see the possibility to turn off charging when the device is plugged in the PC for just transfering data etc. As far as I know this is possible on some HTC devices but I'm not sure if this is possible on our Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rakeesh_j:
It varies by state. In most places it isn't illegal, rather it is just inadmissible in court as evidence. In some places it is both legal and admissible in court. Where I live, the later applies.

And no, it's not useless. If somebody is stalking you or harassing you over the phone, having a recording of it is a very good thing. Ditto with having a company like sprint tell you there's no charge for something, and then bill you for it later. Saying this is useless is rather imbecile.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Not sure if this has been asked before, but what's the point of getting the paid kernel app if I still have to download the tests versions outside of it?

I mean, there's no stable version yet, the "nightly" is many versions behind the current test version. I'm pretty sure there's no need to babysit those who spent money on a kernel updating app to shield them from test version, or at least provide a "tests" download option to at least justify the existence of the app.

Unless anyone can tell me the main reason why I'm accessing the test versions via a browser? :D

Screen brightness set to auto, and there was about an hour of gaming in here, nothing too intensive, but enough. Was r69 with hotplugging enabled, adjusted to have core onlining and offlining is easier and onlining all is harder. Other than that stock interactive settings.

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

Think I saw other users suggest but I feel dual core mode with the option to set a threshold to online other cores would make sense.

I would then assume this would allow setting very low or very high thresholds would essentially disable hotplugging for 2 or 4 cores.

Dual core mode is great for me, however can't help but feel the sentiment 2 cores are "wasted" despite it being plenty of performance.
