I might also like to add that there's a noticeable delay on my N7 2012, too, running r75. IIRC, Franco did something with the core management there, too.

I can't convince/show you this sort of thing unless you hold my devices in your hand yourself.

Apart from the screen on delays, I can't fault anything else about the kernel.

I know franco has left the Wi-Fi related things as they are, but I've been experiencing very slow Wi-Fi connections. Be it any kernel for that matter. Is there any kernel related hack that can aid this? I've noticed that YouTube endlessly buffers on Wi-Fi but plays flawlessly over edge/3g

When the screen goes on the hotpug driver onlines all cores for the screen on thingy to go faster and smooth. I haven't touched the hotplug driver in a while, I'm very happy on how it performs. I've had screen delays on GN and N7 2012 since 4.2, all stock.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] psyren:
Does it block while it onlines the cores?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Certainly no delays. It maybe due to a faulty power button. Many many people are experiencing this.

Will I have to purchase the new FKU when it's released if I've already purchased the old one or will it recognize the old license and update the old app?

No blocks.

Of course you do not have to re-purchase anything, its exactly the same license, its the same app, its just a big update :)

I'm sorry if this has been addressed before but is this kernel compatible with cm 10.2 nightlys? I see people posting that it's working great for them but whenever I flash either jwr or jss, I get a soft brick and have to re flash.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SneakyGuyDavid:
Ever since nightlies AFTER 10-01-13 , they changed some driver in the builds that makes the rom unfriendly with kernels .... If you want to use this kernel or any kernel you're gonna have to flash a kernel on or before October 1st or use a stable rom . good luck

Flash the right kernel which I think is the jss one and the overlay hack thingy-ma-bob zip. You might have to flash the zip first then the kernel. Also make sure your not using a CWM version that is retarded.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Currently fixing some little unfinished things, like num_cores_on_touch which has been kinda broken for a while, and I didn't care much about it, but I just dedicated some time and its fixed. Also on r190 if input_boost_freq is lower than hispeed_freq it still boosts to hispeed_freq - but thankfully thanks for the reports I just also fixed it. Someone asked me for the mic gain thingy, I can also do that.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Devilman539:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] joeyfong:
Thanks a lot
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
It's off by default. When you reboot your phone, it will be off, unless you put a script in place to turn it on automatically.

This will turn it off:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cpanos:
Its not placebo. I 've noticed this delay after doing a clean install of pa 3.99rc2 and Franco 189 and I'm posting because it surprised me to see others reporting this as well. Can't tell what is the culprit (kernel/ROM/some app maybe). Its not always there so I can't reproduce and it is less than a second but its there sometimes. At a random occasion, I will press power and look at the screen expecting to see it on, and it will come on with a delay. I cannot describe it any better.

Hi all,

I have just update to the last nightly of CM 10.2 (09 October) and I also updated from Franco Kernel 188 (JSS) to 190 (JSS).

It seems that there are gamma problems with this combination... and the boot animation also does not appear.

I have reflashed CM 10.2 (09 October) without the Franco Kernel and it is all ok ... so it is a problem regarding CM10.2 + Franco Kernel.

Anyone with this issue?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Andre_Vitto:
Experienced this... some time the delay is more than a second or two.. I turn on the display and expecting it to light up but it does not and i press the power button again thinking i didnt press it properly and the display lights after that and then again locks the phone... using PA 3.99 RC 2

Why?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] LaboDJ:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] I have a question, which is default CPU governor in r190?

In defconfig I see:

CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_INTERACTIVE=y

As I can see there are 3 governors: performance, ondemand and interactive, and Performace is the default one.

Now if I clear fk.u app data and I reboot the device, the default governor is Ondemand (your app say so) and not performance,

I use interactive one but I want to understand this strange thing

EDIT: ok Franco, I found the problem, you changed your ramdisk but you have not pushed the updated code on your mako_ramdisk repo.

File changed are init.mako.rc and init.rc

Please

Franco keep your ramdisk repo updated ;)

EDIT2:

I pushed updated ramdisk code for the people that are compiling franco kernel on their own HERE

Franco another thing, I think you're compiling on a mac, inside your zip files there are these stupid hidden files starting with ._:

._MANIFEST.MF

._CERT.SF

._CERT.SA

...

I suggest you to modify your build script to ignore hidden files during zip compression and during ramdisk creation :)

I do it like this for ramdisk, and I don't know if is it the right way, but it works as expected:

find . \( ! -regex '.*/\..*' \) | cpio -o -H newc -R root:root | gzip -9 > ~/android/boot/newinitrd.img

EDIT3:

With new ramdisk changes now default governor is Interctive, but in defconfig Performance gov is the default one, isn't it strange?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] coolnow:
Here's another person reporting the same problem. Although i think my power button might be failing, i've had this problem ever since i can remember. I increased all undervolt back to stock, made device run at 468MHz when screen is off, instead of the ~300MHz option and it still happens occasionally (i have to press my button hard so i know i've pressed it properly). The screen stays off, then a 2nd press makes it light up for half a sec and re-lock itself.

I'm on stock. The problem described above though, started by 4.3 stock ROM and kernel upgrade (I call it random power button behavior). I had it for most previous nightlies of Franco too, but haven't seen it recently. (I changed to ondemand recently, I don't have the technical knowledge to say if that's relevant and fixed it or not)

Because you are using the preview of the new version of the app.

Please provide more details on your setup. I just tried both local and remote port forwarding and at least that worked fine for me. I'm on r190. I also use a firewall app sometimes, iptables definitely works. I can even turn both my wifi and 3g at the same time and proxy between them.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Hey [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], very solid battery life even on 1000000 boostpulse_duration and max (1512) at input_boost_freq. This is with auto brightness, all day wifi, all day sync, plus Skype in the last 2 hours. I swear, my Nexus 4 is smoother than my iPad4 in every possible way for the first time ever. Great, great job!

If I run at 810 MHz input_boost_freq which is still virtually lag-free and smooth, I can probably achieve 6hours of screen-on time. I'll make a report on that after another charge cycle.

Please consider these values in your next nightly or milestone?

Cheers..

Thank you Franco!!

Hi Franco,

I want to thank you for your excellent work with this Kernel. As proof, I am attaching some screenshots below of my latest run. I was running R23 all through out, but flashed R27 in between where you see a sudden dip in battery. WiFi was 'on' wherever available and I didn't really use the phone hard - just the bare essentials such as Gmail/Email sync, FB check once in a while and occasional glance at the news. Google Now switched off, and Location Services were 'on' but only when needed. Suffice to say, I could never extract more than a day (max a day and a half) with the stock kernel. Franco's Kernel sure does wonders :)

Something really weird happened during the process though, and I have a question for our forum members: I was at 35% battery on R23, and then I flashed R27 using Franco's KU App, and upon restart the battery had dropped to 25%.... I have no idea how this happened, but the consumption remained fairly conservative and consistent thereafter. Finally it died when it reached 0%, so no issues there. My question is, do I need to calibrate the battery every time I flash a new Kernel? Or anybody else noticed something with N4's battery calibration?

STOCK Kernel Results (Franco's Kernel results are pending)

FYI, I am also attaching a couple of screenshots (see below) from back when I was running stock kernel. I was not disappointed with the screen time - but I am yet to test out the screen time with Franco's Kernel. Will update you folk once I have the results.

Keep up the good work Franco and thanks to everyone in this forum for their contribution and insight.
