still having issues with 3g connection on Gmaps and Gplay...I've done 35km to come back home, don't want to think my carrier has problem all over the city, and I went across tons of repeater...

Is there any chance that something have been corrupted during the kernel flash operation? I've never experienced this kind of issues before...with my home wireless everithing is ok. I've even reverted back to the first version of the two application, but they were wrong the same way...:confused::confused::confused:

PROPS TO FRANCO! Thank you for the signal drop fix! It's an amazing feature for me as I work in an environment with very weak signal. I've always had to deal with the signal going out completely and then it could take 5 to 10 minutes to come back, so I would usually restart the phone to get the signal back.

Of course this is just a small fix out of all the amazing work you put into this kernel, but it really affects me and I wanted you to know!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] getaceres:
What's the big deal? People at Samsung are careless and they leak releases before they are ready and Google don't. If the official release comes to HTC and Samsung before than Nexus 4 we could be upset (although it isn't written anywhere that Nexus should recieve updates before anyone else) but it's not the case.

And also Android 4.3 could be 4.2.3 given the new features found in the leaked ROM. Basically Low Energy Bluetooth and a slightly updated camera app that we can get today.

What I hope is that they fix the faulty Wifi drivers and all the wakelocks and mess they have with 3G so we can finally have decent battery life with stock kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Did you build it from nightlies branch?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
Clear app data and reboot
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] trailblazerz11:
Yup, no changes besides some compiler flags and wakelock. Do you not experience the same thing on your local build? I probably should have tested on the milestone first :P

Hmm, just tested milestone 3 and it scales perfectly fine. Did you make some local changes?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Funny thing that I just noticed is that I was testing some changes on faux's Simple governor regarding the exact same thing that you just reported, I changed branches and I thought my local changes would be deleted or something. I guess I compiled the Milestone 3 with those changes but since I didn't know about it I didn't push any code to Github. I'll push the commit now and merge it to the Milestone branch. No wonder some users already reported great battery on M3 because this GPU governor code is much more conservative than r666. Will push to github.

EDIT: Here's the dedicated M3 branch: https://github.com/franciscofranco/mako/commits/milestone3
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
And please do keep it conservative. The adreno320 is already capable of 99.9% of the tasks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yokuyuki:
It'd be nice, but realistically, it's unlikely. His app sales are at 10,000 - 50,000 so let's say we assume that he has about 25,000 installs and he's earning $3.50 per install ($5 * 70%), that's equal to $87,500 which is well below the annual salary of a Google engineer and that's assuming he had all those installs within a year.

Of course, Franco works full-time elsewhere so what he earns through donations is a nice bonus.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shardzmi:
l'm new to franco so sorry for the probably stupid question , but which one is the latest : the 156 nightly or the m3? Since I know that e nightly should be older but I have no idea how it works when there's a new milestone out :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alanwyl:
This time the milestone is newer.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
M3 is the latest FK for Mako.

I like m3 and trying it currently but having an issue with this kernel and so with other kernels I tried except faux's, issue is that the internet connection will not last in my pc when using usb tethering, but in the phone it's okay. Using faux's, the connection will drop but it will recover immediately, but using this and other kernels(stock cm, semaphore, harsh and intersectraven). Any idea on this? Thanks.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ibsonic:
And compared to dreadline ? Why deadline and not row ?

Verstuurd van mijn Nexus 4 met Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kyokeun1234:
Just searched. Deadline is faster on write than read, unlike ROW, which is faster on read than write. This is really a personal preference IMO, but for me, ROW seems to be better choice, since I don't do a lot of writing to my phone (And not literally :silly:)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] richteralan:
Look at the link someone posted above and you can save the thread from unnecessary questions.

I'll post it here again:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ibsonic:
Well, what exactly is writing ? I mean sending a message is also writing..

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kyokeun1234:
Hey Franco, first impression on r23

-With the kernel settings I used on r22, r23 is as smooth or smoother than r22

-Heat is definitely reduced. I can notice this on WiFi and 4G, but especially 4G. Never felt my phone this cool!

-ROW seems to be better for me as a I/O than deadline. Personal opinion

Can't report on battery, but will later when I feel is right :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mobilehavoc:
Also caching is writing so ROW will have tradeoffs in those cases as well. At the end of the day ROW would be great for a server like a web server but for most normal users I think you'd want a balanced IO scheduler
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] richteralan:
here we go again omg....

Can you try it out yourself before questioning other people's choice?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
r23 is great! loving the new stuff! trying out ROW now :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] KyraOfFire:
Deadline also prioritizes READ but not as much. Deadline gives a deadline to every thread so nothing is starved, ROW may starves WRITE.

ROW vs deadline: increase READ throughput and decrease READ latency by a *huge* deal. WRITE performance is halved.

Edit:... deadline prioritizes WRITE. my bad
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kyokeun1234:
Not that kind of writing, but writing (Or creating/modifying) a file to the storage kinda. Reading is reading the file off the storage. Like I said, I don't mean it literally. Also I'm not a professional at these nor I did a lot of studies, so it is best if you search it up (I/O or read and write) on Google :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
Exactly.

To reproduce you need parallel read/write tests.

Found this in the comments of this patch:

Anyway, the improvement added by ROW is in scenario of parallel read and write, which iozone doesn't do so

running iozone for comparing ROW to CFQ is useless.

> If it's not too difficult I would appreciate if you could run the bellow 2 commands simultaneously on your setup:

> adb shell /data/lmdd if=internal of=/data/writefile bs=128k count=3000

> adb shell /data/lmdd if=/data/readfile of=internal bs=128k count=3000

Haven't tried it,but read should be better with ROW.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ibsonic:
A forum is for asking questions and help each other..and row is added, so instead of being "smart" you can help ppl..

I'm not the only one asking this question.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Is it just me or dose 23 feel a lot faster ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
This.

Instead of relying on feel its useful to do some dd tests. I usually use this command to test IO schedulers on write:

time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/zero bs=1M count=500000

That times the time that takes to write random **** into /dev/zero.

To time sequential writing using if=/dev/null instead of /dev/urandom should do it.

For reading the command from Testraindrop should do it.

I've done changes on deadline since r1 to prioritise reads instead of writes, but I'm sure ROW does a better job than that since its written from scratch and its mainly done for flash memory storage devices. It should also preform better on threaded IO requests, but I haven't done much testing on that part yet.

Yep. I believe that the less hotplug calls in this release make up for that.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kyokeun1234:
Thank you sir for your kind post. Will try that from now on when trying new IO :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NUNsLAUGHTER92:
I'm pretty sure franco changed it so that two cores are always on, unless he changed it back something is wrong.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bilal6229:
When I say the game doesn't lag I mean there were a few skipped frames but nothing major.. These skipped frames were not there in PA franco kernel.. What I'm worried about is that there hasn't been a single time when the other two cores have come online, I'm worried my phone has become dual core after installing franco kernel!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nachordez:
Well, if I understood properly, what he complains is that two cores are not coming, i.e. there are just two cores. Its OK so

Nexus4 / Stock / Franco / V4A
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rmead01:
lower the hot plug threshold and they should easily come on for testing purposes.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nachordez:
OK. That's different. If you are loosing frames, then you need 4 cores, you're right then. Try to lower 1sr parameter in hotplug to less than default 70, let's say 60 or 50. Probably that's enough

Nexus4 / Stock / Franco / V4A
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bilal6229:
Yea lowering threshold helps, I can now see the other two cores coming online for a bit :good::good: One more thing what should I set my governer to ondemand or default interactive?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] colapro:
I just upgraded to the beta version of FKU and I noticed that I can't see my backup of the stock kernel in the backups list anymore. My backup is still on the SDCARD. I found a new backup folder in sdcard/franco.kernel_updater (did you change it?). Is it safe to move the backup to the new folder or did the backup format also change?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Isn't the phone dual core when two cores are online? Same goes for quad core when all cores are online. If they don't come up as much as you want then lower the threshold, the path is everywhere, in the changelog etc...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nachordez:
Interactive always. Is the one Franco makes all his tunings for. And you can make is as responsive or conservative as you want changing a couple of values! Is great!

Nexus4 / Stock / Franco / V4A
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes I changed it, I wrote about it in the first beta changelog. Yes you can move it over.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] manulemaboul:
Totally, and I'm using it on his 4 cores as default since a few days now :).

It's just awesome, and it confirms again that hotplugging do drains significantly, as I'm doing even more SOT :).

I've just limited him to 1188mhz max, as It's what he needs to be awesomely smooth and fast and it makes him never goes over 950mV. I've simply locked him at this freq for some heavy apps or in dual core for light ones.

Right now, he's on 1188 on the 4 cores for exemple, taking my time to write this post, waiting for him to heat up and he doesn't :).

Fixed freq and online cores number as often as possible and as low as possible without compromising perfs is the way to go IMHO :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jassycliq:
Not necessarily true. A great example of this is subway surfers. Try playing this game with quad core at 1ghz its laggy as hell. Raise the freq to 1.5ghz with dual core and it becomes smooth.

Maybe Franco may mimic turbo boost behavior? Like we all know not every program is optimized for dual cores let alone quad cores :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Turbo boost is stupid on these chips in my opinion, sorry.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] BakaPhoenix:
You can use the franco power modes to boost the freq to 1,5 while using specific apps, so that is the probelm? you can put 1 ghz max when using the pone normaly an boost the frequency while playing.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Tricepz:
Can you expand on that? all of the major changes are set only to the interactive governor?

Before updated to M3 i was on another governor (i think on-demand) and the battery life / performance were still great.

+ 1 for Intereactive and tweak as per need. However, certain times the tweaked values wont stick. Here is what I have noticed. After turning off dynamic sync, I filled in the values and rebooted. Went in back in the governor settings to check if the new values were applied and all was good. Out of curiosity, I just kept going back and forth in the governor settings from the main menu with continous taps. To my suprise, on the 4th tap all values were messed up. The above highspeed delay went up to 50000 from 20000 and the timer rate went up to 80000 from 30000. On the 5th tap, the values were back to the normal :)
