elzafir is right, there was very little 3g use because im already over my cap :P Though this is still improved on what I was getting without 3g with earlier builds. But there was some 3g! at least a good 30 min + connected, just not much transfered. Other than that, i found that often times i'm getting very incorrect battery reading, like some days i'll get to 2 hours screen on and find i have 40% left, others like today be at 3 hours screen on with 50% left, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to emulate proper battery level with charger in the morning, i'll keep you updated.

I use auto-brightness and mostly wifi, though in my defense for whatever reason my schools wifi is so bad that it doesn't sleep while connected, i get pure wakelock, so my 3 hours connected were 3 hours of no sleep.

Oh and btw hotplugging is when the kernel decides how many cores should be online at any given time to handle a load

As an auto brightness user, r68 is way too dark that both me and my girlfriend look like Indian/African American in my wallpaper... we are both Asian... So go back to r67 is the only choice.

The s3 colors are over saturated.

Changing the nexus gamma and color settings to try and get the end result of a excellently calibrated display is what is going on.

Not let's make it look like a over saturated amoled screen.

If you look at the replies from moles first test you can clearly see that. Plenty of this looks horrible from that one. It actually reminded me of a amoled screen. I kept that kernel installed for less than 30 seconds after boot.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] k_nivesout:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Definitely looking much more rich and vibrant, however I'm noticing some issues with gamma, especially in the greys. Using the display tester app, grey gamma is off the charts (above 3.0), when it should be close to 2.2. As a matter of fact, all gamma values should read close to 2.2 but I haven't seen any configuration of color settings that could achieve that unfortunately. There are a few other colors that exhibit the same tendencies, but grey is the most extreme.

Aside from the display, the new kernel is feeling quite nice! First time recently that I've not had to adjust governor settings to achieve smooth gesture typing. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r53

Try this app "Lux"... It overwrites the stock autobrightness app and you can set different scenarios. Lots of options and much better than stock... Especially if you're rooted of course.... Then disable the autobrightness from Android.

Yes, it's pretty neat indeed. I went ahead and bought the app. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] molesarecoming:
yep, thats something i was trying to counteract. the original preset for this kernel is from lg, rich colors, contrasty, heavy banding. google changed it in terror of getting bashed for it cranking gamma to hide it. i have since tried to mix and tweak them to get both. compared to the lg type of banding its very very little but still needs work. overall i like darker, i saw its not 2.2 but i thought so what. googles setting is far from 2.2 as well. its easy to go up though, amp0 will reduce contrast and saturation. amp1 will increase gamma overall. i try this:

kcal_r = 243;
kcal_g = 245;
kcal_b = 247;

static char p_gamma_r_setting[10] = {0xD0, 0x40, 0x15, 0x76, 0x00, 0x1A, 0x00, 0x50, 0x30, 0x02};
static char n_gamma_r_setting[10] = {0xD1, 0x40, 0x15, 0x76, 0x00, 0x1A, 0x00, 0x50, 0x30, 0x02};
static char p_gamma_g_setting[10] = {0xD2, 0x72, 0x15, 0x76, 0x00, 0x18, 0x00, 0x50, 0x30, 0x02};
static char n_gamma_g_setting[10] = {0xD3, 0x72, 0x15, 0x76, 0x00, 0x18, 0x00, 0x50, 0x30, 0x02};
static char p_gamma_b_setting[10] = {0xD4, 0x72, 0x15, 0x76, 0x00, 0x17, 0x00, 0x50, 0x30, 0x02};
static char n_gamma_b_setting[10] = {0xD5, 0x72, 0x15, 0x76, 0x00, 0x17, 0x00, 0x50, 0x30, 0x02};

better whitebalance, brighter, less saturated.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
The new colors on r68 are really horrible, there is too much gamma and greys are tinted reddish.

I don't have a color-meter right now but I compared test images to my calibrated screen, with a "trained eye".

Could you keep subjective and/or device-dependent stuff like this at stock, and then let people tweak them?

DISCLAIMER: This kernel is amazing and I'm not a hater, I simply comment whenever there's something "wrong".

EDIT: Found your post saying that it should help to set RGB values to 255, but on my device they were already at that, and changing them around didn't affect the gamma.

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

Hey Franco... Just as a matter of information.... What's the difference with r68 in terms of hotplugging?

I see the 1st core is the one usually taking the easy load, but the other 3 fire up pretty easy as well.... Wondering if all that taxes the battery....

It's definitely very smooth and fluid... But what's the penalty? Or what's the difference comparing to past builds?

You avatar seems fitting. I wasn't complaining but asking franco to essentially revert this gamma change, although having Gamma control also solves the issue for me.

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

I gave r68 a whirl, but the gamma is too dark unfortunately. Back to r67 for now with my calibrated color settings.

I should mention that I'm a working cinematographer, so my tolerances for color and gamma are tighter than the average phone user!

What we need (and what Franco is no doubt working on) are the following controls in order to properly control how our phones look:

- RGB 0-255

- Gamma

- Saturation

- Brightness

- Tone curve adjustment (maybe 5 finger movable points at 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 where 0 is black and 100 is white, with each point fixed on the X axis and movable up and down the Y axis)

For the last control, see Gamma/Luma curves in most video editing suites, or Photoshop. Generally these map to a smooth S-curve for good contrast with control over the mid-tones.

Provide these controls and you will have color fully controlled on any device.

HTH!

I'll take back my last comment. I was using Lux but using the Lux auto brightness. Going to manual settings I get close to spot on gamma results (2.2ish) for all but Grey (2.6). That's close enough for me. Go Franco and folks please use LUX manual settings!! Now you do have to crank up the brightness a lot (-20 to +25 at 0 lux), we'll see how we do with battery life.
