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

I certainly wasn't trolling when I stated I have lag on r53. Not every person's phone is the same....I stated what my issue was, choppy scrolling/swiping. Been with Franco's kernels for a very long time and usually only follow and read. Can't assume everyone who has lag is trolling!

Anyone else getting poorer result on msm_hsic_host wakelock on r53? I'm getting 37 mins out of 13 hours. I got less on r46 but I'm reluctant going back to r46 since r53 is by far the fastest and smoothest one.

My carrier right now is having 3g issues in my town. I flashed r51 yesterday, r52 before going to sleep, and r53 when i woke up.

I left to downtown in the morning, my carrier was OK.

I came back 12hs later, the issues were here and not in downtown, and with r53, my phone goes to "emergency calls only". My GF's i9300 has G (gprs) or E (edge).

I swaped to a copy of faux (only other kernel on my device right now, i did not have the time to reflash the whole AOSPA to get DATA), and its sitting fine on G (gprs).

I know its a carrier problem, but i just wanted to report this (since i missed the boat on all those versions with many HSIC fixed, i don't know how data drops appeared.

After using r53, i found no any prob. It works as advertised.smooth and core perform smartly....previous version was perform as others member mentioned...increased to 1026 when touch...but now it works smartly, maintained at 386Mhz all the time...Temperature is well maintained. No lag, all went smooth with temple run 2. I am using stock rom as well.

Battery hours 22 hours

Screen time 4 hours.

Usage = WIFI (Viber all the time), temple run 2 for roughly half an hour

For me it is good enough for daily use...wonderful piece of work..Thanks franco

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

So I flashed AOSP build and rebooted. I realized I forgot to flash gapps and tried to reboot into recovery to find that I get the green android with red triangle :( plus I have no data for whatever reason (have H but greyed out, cannot access anything). I'm in class now and luckily can use the WiFi.

Cannot wait to get home to reflash recovery and minco again :)

Had the same problem, this install deleted my custom recovery.

Grey only means that there is no connection to google services, so data >should< work.

By the way: I tested AOSP build with stock and then with franco kernel. It lags a bit more - and with lag I mean the browser and long lists "jiggle". Anyway I think I'm happy with r53. Looking forward to see new improvements ;)

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

Warning. Lag trolling rant

First of all to people like the user that said build x lags i am going back to stock. That is useless garbage

But so are all of you with this if somebody reports lag they must be trolling bs.

Some of the test kernels had more lag than others. If you were using them under certain usages patterns you may not have noticed it. For example the entire 2nd core comes online after a swipe of 100pixels. While that may have worked perfect for you it simply did not cut it for me and my usage.

Example of my usage. I use nova launcher with a vertical app and widgets drawer. It relies heavily on what is basically a tap and flick to scroll through the drawer. As opposed to swiping a finger like the normal side to side way. There was a couple kernels where this type of fling in my app drawer was a lag / stutter fest.

I do the same type of flings with many apps. This isn't iOS after all where all the swipes / flings are the same and you have to constantly swipe the screen. I enjoy one quick swipe and a very long scroll. I do it on tapatalk where yes the app is not the smoothest to begin with but when a change makes it worse the lag is even more apparent. Other apps I do this gesture with all the time.. YouTube Google+ falcon pro and the widget. Facebook and web browsers.

Grab a couple of the Franco kernels before 53 r52 and fling nova around with a vertical app drawer and see the difference. Flash back to r53 and see how much smoother it is.

Maybe next time you won't say something as stupid as the people that report lag are trolling. To me those post are more useless and offending as the fool that said this lags back to stock. We generally just ignore those clowns

End rant. I dont take to kindly to being labeled a troll and needed to address this nonsense

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ansysic:
No, that doesn't make any difference. As far as I see this jiggling is related to the whole UI (not games) while slowly moving the finger and only one core is online.

It looks like this in all-apps list:

- moving the finger across screen

- apps list is following, everything normal

- now the list hangs for some milliseconds, finger goes on

- list updates to position under finger

- scrolling goes on, everything normal

repeat this every second

Perhaps you shouldn't take it to serious if the only one who notices this is me. I'll investigate furthermore.....

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Its not stealing time, this is a development thread. If the issues are well documented and fundamented then its worth to look at. So it happens on the AOSP build in the OP too? If it does then its something wrong with the kernel. I might know what it is if thats the case.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] whitedragonz83:
Screen On time takes a lot more power then higher CPU (with GNexus, probably same for Nexus 4). So if your takes take longer, then you will leave the screen on longer, using more battery. So while you don't need max cpu when you are idle'ing, you want the cpu to ramp up once you start doing something so you can finish doing that something faster and turn the screen off.

Makes sense I guess I'm just used to PC cpu's where less clock means less power :p. I used my Gnex clocked at the lowest setting sometimes if I was trying to squeeze an hour more out of it and it seemed to work just fine other than a lag or two but it was hardly noticeable. But that makes sense.

Less clocks doesn't mean less power on a PC either.

Idle you want your chip in a lower power/idle/reduced clock rate etc. When doing work you don't. You want it to complete its task as fast as possible and return back to idle. Its actually referred to as race to idle.

"Basically fsync is a process to verify data integrity to prevent data corruption. This process is critical when you involved with money transaction process, but for our tablet, there is nothing to worry about, worst to come to worse you may need to reflash the rom. Since disabling fsync saved the OS the time to verify the data, it translated into faster processing, which increased performance (less I/O traffic). Hope this help.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hrithan2020:
Hi, going by the benchmark ,FSYNC OFF would be much better right? [ But from what I understand because it actually sync the data at a later time, it is just reporting a high number ? ].

Sorry, for asking a question which has been there since 2010 [had this when using my galaxy s] at least. But, wanted to know your perspective on switching off FSYNC. From what I understand, unless the phone reboots due to some stability problems, there is generally no need to worry about data corruption. If the data corruption occurs, is it likely to occur in the system part [where random reads and writes are happening] and not the normal /sdcard?

Also what do you feel about the performance benefit bought upon by it? [ I've heard that it has considerably more performance improvement compared to the improvements made from switching off say logging]
