It's not about being loud, it's the effect it imparts to music and even more on mastered songs which are the ones we hear everyday. Mastered songs are already compressed (using multiband or wide-band processors) and limited. In this case, if we apply compression in our phones it should be done to control the music dynamics when we increase the gain (fixed_gain) and avoid further distortion but again it's always a compromise: if you increase it too much it will make the compressor work harder and it won't sound good. Having a compressor on by default may cause unwanted results if the user adds to much gain.

Once we get UI parameters in FKU to control all this it will be much easier to handle for the end-user.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Im working as fast as I can on the next FKU. Alphas start in a few days, hopefully with all these options.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RohanM:
lol, actually I was reading the same & just finished. :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
Will you give us the recommended values for this upcoming sound stuff? Because honestly i'm dumb as a brick with this kind of stuff.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Thanks man, that's why I've always supported you beyond the app itself. You always work harder to please your customers and that's appreciated :thumbup:

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

I really want to purchase your N4 display control. But this stupid play store not accepting Indian Debit Card.. any other way ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes I will based on the datasheet, Im also dumb as a brick concerning sound stuff.

No :( but if you have FKU you dont need the display app. And you can get the app for free on XDA, just run a search ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] aviz1911:
Franco provided display control apk for free on XDA. Check android app's section to download. And I'm from India too :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
"Presets", as suggested in the datasheet, will be very useful for the end-user. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RohanM:
cool, thanks for this info mate... :)

Update : - Wow this app is superb... Now I am not missing my Galaxy S3's Amoled screen & deep blacks. :good: :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] klutch:
has anyone had a problem with the kernel my colors went crazy on my phone and then i put the stock one from CM10.2 its normal why is that?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Don't use the latest CM nightlies. Explanation is everywhere in the last 10 pages.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] klutch:
gotcha my bad slacking going back since i more updated on both now i knw thnx man
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] santeana:
Explanation is all over every f****** thread in xda except CM thread it would seem! You know, people *search* has been reenabled!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Waldos:
Yeah, like: Rock, Pop, Clasical, etc and User (something that the user can customize)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
There's a hack in the cm thread to make it work, i personally haven't tried it yet but someone figured out a way...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gparmar76:
No disrespect Franco, but whether Devs like it or not, CM is and probably will remain the most popular ROM of choice...and turning away from offering compatibility only hurts you in the long run...that said, your kernel's offerings are more important to me than CM so I'm simply switching ROMS for the time being.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Problem is that if I add compatibility I'll probably derp the usage on stock roms for example. And thats a no-go for me. Stock is priority,
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
I'm thinking about moving to the same boat.

I've been building my own AOKP for a couple years (GNex to N4). I like cherry-picking, and personalizing my builds. But the build I create now can't load in an external kernel. And, this leaves me stuck at my own October 1 build. I'll probably live with it through the KitKat announcement. But if all the kernel crap isn't resolved shortly afterward, I'll look for another ROM.

I'll never even look at CM again. It took me through a couple years with my OG Droid. But the fact that they took a path that means that AOSP isn't valid is just wrong.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Im sure u already no if its correct but this is supposedly what breaks CM, /system/lib/liboverlay.so , i no nothing about development, just quoting someone over there.... If worth your time to look into
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arlenwoot:
Worked for me, using r188-JSS on 10/4 cm nightly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tarroyo:
What hack is this? I haven't heard about it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arlenwoot:
If you replace /system/lib/liboverlay.so with the one from 10/1 nightly you can flash custom kernels with cm nightlies again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Haomuch:
Hi Franco I know it is very boring to mention up the battery performance issue again but recently I found the phone can't get slept and after I installed BBS again after a long time, I found the following results and just can't figure out what is waking up the phone for the whole time. Could anybody give me some help?

The dumpfile logcat and dmesg

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Haomuch:
You can obviously noticed that the wechat wakelock time is just a tiny portion of the power manage wakelocks and after I killed it the phone still can't go into asleep
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Which ROM, what settings, etc etc. Your first bid is to clear fku app, reflash kernel or ROM.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Haomuch:
Stock ROM and no special setting. Location reporting and history off. Google sync on with wifi. You should also able to see that in the logcat.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
Franco isn't turning away from CM, CM is turning away from compatibility.

Franco.kernel is for stock ROM, and for whatever custom ROM chooses to be compatible with the stock ROM infrastructure. Most of the problems discussed in this thread have to do with custom ROMs doing crap like reporting the wrong build, or now becoming incompatible altogether. All this is taking away time from his development.

Franco is doing the right thing, focusing on kernel features, and NOT on compatibility with all kinds of ROMs doing this and that all the time. He is 1 developer, not a company, so it doesn't scale to maintain so many kernel variants. It's bad enough that he is providing both JWR and JSS.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ziddey:
[MENTION=4543885]Haomuch[/MENTION], power manager services wakelock actually represents partial wakelocks.

Dies the kernel good the washed out display ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drewtang:
It does support color controls.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I think you are mistaken.

If you look at the advanced settings in Wi-Fi you will see that the actual setting says "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep". So choosing "always" would keep Wi-Fi on during sleep. Choosing "never" should never keep it on during sleep.

I have it on "never" so it should never be on during sleep.

But unfortunately it stays on...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] miicho85:
How do I go about changing the settings on that?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] knnhzx:
My nexus 4 is always very hot after surfing the net or using it after a while. While this kernel help or is my phone a faulty set? R23 or r27? Which one is safer to install? And is it possible to restore to stock kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] albundy2010:
It is obviously the kernel. The Dev new there may be issues when he released it. That's why they were test versions that you couldn't get with his app. Then he tried to fix the problems with 25, 26 etc.

It doesn't matter if 100 percent or 50 percent of the users are effected by it. The cause is absolutely the kernel. But just disregard all the reports from experienced users ( and even a forum moderator) along with all the devs reverting the patches simply because it hasn't happened to you yet.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tmhiott:
If you download Francos kernel updater from the play store it has the color settings in it.

Download it, it's worth it to have all the options, download the updates, and to support Francisco!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] miicho85:
Will do I will support "El Generalisimo"
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tanjiajun_34:
But no Gamma control. But still this kernel is worth it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yokuyuki:
It will help with it being hot a bit. Just try both, I told you this already. It's possible to restore the stock kernel.

Seriously, you should just go back and read the last few pages or search the thread.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MiG123:
this is the reason why no matter how optimized and feature packed, i'm still sticking to faux till UV is added here. Sure this has fantastic idle drain when the CPU is basically off, but its still a furnace compared to UV kernels out there such that watching 2hr movies becomes uncomfortable for my hands.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Strange, my phone don't get hot at all , my kid ran YouTube for over a hour in car other day ,phone showed no heat at all . ;) and that guy having heat issues sounds like he not even running Franco kernel sound like he running stock kernel
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tweaked:
I have no clue what you are talking about.....My phone hasn't gotten hot since r18.. UV isn't needed, at all. Franco would have added it already if it was....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] magictwins:
lower the maximum frequency helps cooling the device.. a lot

I don't think under voltage and under clock play much differences in terms of energy saving...they are just in different forms if you are familiar with digital electronic circuits..

UV has better performance but less stability, while UC sacrifices performance for stability...all about trade off
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] |Logic|:
Why would UV yield better performance?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] blitz911:
Complete signal drop(signal icons not even gray, just becomes a black right triangle) in an area I usually have at least 3-4 bars of Edge. Stock 4.2.1 ROM, r27. Never experienced this at all before this kernel..may or may not be anything, but I was just reading this thread when it happened..I was on WiFi at the time..attached is last_kmsg.text. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] republicano:
im still on r23 as im satisfied, no issues, from r23 franco made cpu reduce performance when it gets hot so its safe temperature wise.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ArangeLTX:
Hello,

I get data drops with r27 (perfect r23). My logcat always print out this lines:

E/PowerHAL( 531): touch_boost: failed to send: No such file or directory
W/Trace ( 863): Unexpected value from nativeGetEnabledTags: 0
W/Trace (22643): Unexpected value from nativeGetEnabledTags: 0

Stock ROM. Kernel Franco r27. No problems with r23.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mobilehavoc:
You had a signal drop while you were on wifi? What happened if you turned off wifi?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Well mate, there is clearly something on your side giving the fact that no one is reporting battery drain...

I'll leave this here!

Keep in mind that I reflashed my ROM at 60%.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
Just freeze it/uninstall it, reboot the device and see if it deep sleeps, if still not then its something else.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Haomuch:
Did the test and still the same
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
Well, its not the Kernel, as you are the only one with the problem.

Anything new installed recently?

Its not the wireless charger wakelock as a reboot would fix it and its usually indicated,

You could try reflashing the kernel if nothing else helps, other that you don't have many apps installed that could be responsible from the log...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Its that wakelock from some messenger app that is derping you.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] limeaide:
So your phone sleeps for two hours wakes up and cries wanting a bottle?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arlenwoot:
Should look at the last 10 pages, but replace /system/lib/liboverlay.so with the one from 10/1 nightly and you can use custom kernels again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Honestly at that point, its not even worth the hassle. Its a temporary 'fix' and will eventually backfire when the lib is needed for a newer nightly of CM. Just abandon CM fully, there are way better ROMs than CM for the N4 that are more feature riched. I'd recommend Carbon if anyone is looking for another ROM to use. They use JWR kernels on Carbon and you won't have any deadlocks.

Another alternative route is to flash crDroid which is a forked version of CM which you can dirty flash over your current CM version and it'll work. It comes with more features and doesn't include the CAF commits meaning the colors and usage of custom kernels will be fine.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arlenwoot:
Everyone has their own opinion of what the best rom is, and for those of us that still prefer to use CM but also use custom kernels this is an easy fix. To each their own. In a couple weeks it might not even matter anymore.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Its a easier method of flashing a forked version of CM with cherry picks with the CFA commits removed. It'll revert the whole fiasco that started the issue without having to manually flash another zip or replace it manually.

Never said it was the best ROM. Nothing is the best ROM. Its subjective. :good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arlenwoot:
Replacing one file is pretty easy but lets not clutter this thread anymore. I was simply providing a solution for someone that was having trouble with the current cm nightlies, not looking for rom suggestions. Thanks to this fix I am able to run my favorite rom with my favorite kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thebryceee:
Damn, beat me to it.

I've got a two year old and one more on the way. It was nice being able to sleep through the night.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
So I've yet to see bad posts about r188 so I guess its running great! Did anyone besides [MENTION=5087599]Mercado_Negro[/MENTION] have a go with the speaker settings?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pqee:
Just a question on your touch implementation. I don't care much for the swipe to wake or double tap to wake, but the one feature I would use is being able to single tap the screen before it locks to wake the screen. My screen is set to lock 30s after the screen is off, if I tap once during this 30s it turns the screen back on. Any chance something like this is or will eventually be possible with your setup, and would I be able to disable the other options?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] limeaide:
I did but eventually gave up. My limited knowledge and settings not taking kept pissing me off. Then other things happened and I did not have the time to mess with it. However I did manage to brick a netgear modem trying to update the ddwrt firmware.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
The speaker is fine. Any modifications will only bring marginal improvements or worse sound distortion because of hardware limitation. In my opinion, sound mods are plausible when using a headset.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ziddey:
This would indeed be a good feature. At the same time, I could see it being semi-emulated completely in userspace-- have an app that "blanks" the screen 5s before timeout. Should be compatible with all Android devices and a potential money-maker. ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pqee:
If only I could code. :)

Actually the TouchControl app already has this, as does at least one other kernel, Semaphore I think so it's not a new feature, just a rarely talked about one. Swipe to wake and double tap to wake keep taking the spotlight...and your battery.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Touch to wake holds a wakelock -.-
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pqee:
Wouldn't it only hold a wakelock for those 30 seconds until the phone locks then it deep sleeps as usual?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] theclaytons:
[KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r188 - JWR & JSS

I'm testing something at the moment. I reckon 188 uses more battery. My only valid test for this is to fully charge phone, turn airplane mode on over night for 8 hours and check battery percentage in the morning. For last couple of nights on 188 I've lost 6% each night and before going to 188 ( from 184) I was seeing only a 1% drop overnight. Same rom, same apps and airplane mode on. I do not use the double tap to wake.

Have gone back to 184 tonight to double check if correct or not, can report here if anyone interested?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Serris:
I had the same battery on r184 and r188, I usually have 1% drop overnight using r188
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
It would be great mate..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NYLimited:
I don't have tangible proof but I think I may have seen this slight increase as well. I cleared FKU settings when installed 188 and am not using any of the touch features. My overnight power use seems to have increased a small amount. Certainly not enough to worry me, in any event.

Any clod can have the facts, but having an opinion is an art.

Only 1% overnight drain for me with wifi and data off (PA RC2)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ciprianruse88:
I tried r188 with stock settings and max volume on speaker distorts the sound when the phone rings or listening to music and probably may result in breaking the phone speaker.My opinion is to leave it as stock and who wants louder volume can increase it.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Er? 6% in airplane mode? Check your CPU wakelocks. I leave everything on at night & only see about 6 - 9% drain.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bill Gamble:
This has been discussed many times over the last 10-15 pages.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] triggerftu:
yup found the post. kinda messed to see there has to be a tweak for it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Danny.ns:
Since you asked; yes i have been running r188 and its been excellent - i have no complaints at all. I do not notice any performance loss by having the touch speed @ 1.2GHz (vs 1.5ghz), but i think it runs a bit cooler this way (obviously since those speeds have less voltage pumped).

OT: I have a Xperia Z1 (snapdragon 800!) in the house until my sister comes and pick it up - and side by side there is no difference in performance/smoothness in UI between it and the N4. Although the Z1 really feels premium-to-the-max. Wish they got to do a Nexus some time, the hardware really feels superb. :good:

A lot of times i get this lag for about 10 seconds when i'm typing into a chat window. Usually happens when I'm using fb chat or posting a status update. I lose the cursor and the keyboard goes away but then it finally comes back if I'm patient. If I'm not it crashes.

Running the latest 4.3 kernel
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Bill Gamble:
What ROM?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Its the deadlock from using a ROM with a JSS related kernel. Alternative is to use a JSS/JLS ROM that uses a JWR kernel such as Carbon, PA, Slim, and others tied with JWR Franco.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I used to get that from chrome browser on my galaxy nexus on stock 4.3 jwr66y rom from time to time.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Tennic:
I noticed too that the phone has higher consumption.

I also noticed that with the R188, the governor gpu is set by default on performance, whereas before (R184 and older) on ondemand. Could this be the cause? :confused:

It happens to me too, exactly the same. Also on whatsapp :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Isham.padron:
I'm using dark jelly 4.3 which is based in CM. I don't understand what you mean by using this kernel with that rom. What difference would it make if its a 4.3 rom using the franco jss kernel?

Deadlocks seem to be a "feature" of JSS based ROMs.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nothing to do with the Kernel...

Sigh... Trickster is just broken, it does not show the correct GPU governor. If you use that tab in Trickster and you apply stuff the app will obviously set the GPU governor to performance because thats what its selected in the option. No wonder its higher consumption for you, you've been running it with the wrong GPU governor -.-
