Understood.. This is my 7th android hacked phone... I know the definition of the word, especially when it comes to kernels..

I monitor my phone until I find the sweet spot.. I'm not a developer, but I do understand how this works.

Next time I just don't say anything since I would hurt your feelings?

It's all good brother, just saying that r33 does consumes more battery... And it's obvious since those patches are reverted.. And on my phone, it keeps it awake for longer... But if if works for you, great! Every phone is different.

I love Franco's work, and I'm deeply thankful he's letting us experience his development process... And BTW, I'm not complaining... Not my style.

Was running 1 day with r33 and don't like it at all. phone was sluggish and laggy, especially with excellent fast cable modem WiFi connection at home. also battery drains faster than before, but not by much. was super happy with r30 and r32, reverted to r32 now and all is fine, super fast WiFi, and phone running cool and smooth. just my 2c :cool:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
33 is working EXACTLY the same as 32 for me n , but I have no data issues now , my battery is in exact same % left as 32 would be at this time of day , I use my phone the same everyday ( for work ) so its something I do notice . no lag , its fast as hell battery still great , not sure whats up with your phone

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Some people report up to 40%... I was using CM10.1 and had great battery life with Franco's. But I get better performance and battery life with MINCO and Franco together.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rootuser11:
@franco I edited the file and raised the minimum threshold by 6'C (btw, this file also allows you to set cpu freq + gpu freq + max screen brightness at each threshold point.) Works pretty well, no problem on the phone except of course it runs hot. Mine shows yellow spots on the bottom and right side of the screen when temp is so high. But that happens regardless of threshold anyway since it gets hot either way!

-150mV UV + 6'C raise in threshold did help the phone perform tasks much faster and smoother especially in games that used to lag after a few plays due to throttling.

BTW, I suspect that some Nexus 4s have thermal issues, especially for the early batch. That's what has been happening for Optimus G in Korea (overheating, turning screen yellowish, and buzzing sound from the earpiece).

Is This kernel better than stock cm kernel in battery?

Thanks

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Never used stock cm but the battery life of Franco kernels have been nothing but exceptional since Galaxy Nexus, the same goes for this phone. Runs very smooth and nicely.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] richteralan:
I'll wait for a proper release, then buy your app in the play store.

Don't want to flash test stuff to my only phone lol...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
It's quite stable to be honest. No SoDs, no reboots. Battery life has been exceptional. Franco app not yet supported for N4 yet but should be soon (I hope)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Logi_Ca1:
franco, if I may ask, why the desire to increase the battery temperature threshold? This phone is crazy fast as it is, due to the Krait architecture. I think the throttling was implemented by Google because we have a non-removable battery, and heat is one thing that really kills batteries fast.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rootuser11:
I am not franco but currently nexus 4 throttles down rather too early. OptimusG which basically has the same hardware as nexus 4 has thermal tjreshold exactly six points higher.

Ive been personally using increases threshold and now i can play nfs most wanted for a long time without lags.

Even when you raise the threshold it still does not really go over 48 easily so no worries for me.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prod1702:
Franco what rom are u using. Are you using Rasbeanjelly like on the GN.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Imperticus:
The Optimus G's kernel source regarding thermal throttling is this:

if (temp >= msm_thermal_info.limit_temp)
max_freq = msm_thermal_info.limit_freq;
else if (temp <
msm_thermal_info.limit_temp - msm_thermal_info.temp_hysteresis)
max_freq = MSM_CPUFREQ_NO_LIMIT;

if (max_freq == limited_max_freq)
goto reschedule;
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] richteralan:
Yeah I read this thread and other Kernel threads everyday.

I'm well aware all these custom Kernels are excellent.

Just want to wait for a bit more.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
May I ask why are you exactly waiting? It's far more superior than stock kernel, as far as other kernels, I can't comment since I haven't tried them out. On GN I was happy with Franco's kernels so I've sticked to them. The only kernel I've tried on my N4 other than this was Trinity TF1. Can't really comment on which is better as they are all so fast to begin with :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] aimetti:
yep , i tried faux and was getting some random stuff going on (without uv and all that nonsense) i came crawling back to franco kernel again and all is well again.

everyone has different results from what they flash , for me however it seems i keep coming back to francos kernel.

cant wait for the app to update :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I'll try to release an app update today to add N4 compatibility, not promising, but I will try!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes but as far as I could see we have a thermald binary controlling the temperature with the thermald.conf dictating the rules. I have to reverse engineer those binaries and see what I can do since we don't have any sources of them. Not even power.msm8960.so is in the sources right now, and thats the PowerHAL.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Imperticus:
Ah stupid binaries. Hopefully Google/Qualcomm drop sources rather than binaries for the HALs.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] maddoggin:
Mr. Franco just bought my nexus 4 and rooted downloaded your kernel app and it's asking me to buy it again! I have no problem donating again If I have to. Has anyone else experienced this?

Never mind fix it!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] v3rk:
I was able to install just fine coming from toroplus. Good to see you on this side man!

Hey Franco, I just wanted to say that I love your Kernel on the Nexus 7 and now also on my Nexus 4.

Everything's smooth and stable.

Would be great if you could add more color adjustments like gamma control.

Keep up the good work and thanks ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prod1702:
@Stefa he used system tuner. There is a option under settings to turn on that CPU window.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
There was ;). I could list u 5 of them , but I won't go read other dev's change logs every one of them that had those patches had issues .
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] g47:
When we will update to the yet to come 4.2.2 will we have to go back to stock kernel first otherwise the installation will fail, right?

If yes, does anybody know how?

I am a noob but I know how to flash files, that is not a problem.

I dont have the original kernel though and they are not uploaded on the links on Franco's post on first page.

Any help would be appreciated. :o
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] melbourne408:
Only wipe /data when a third party kernel is applied over a preexisting third party kernel and your system is force- closing. If you want to be CAUTIOUS when updating third party kernel releases, use the stock kernel reset zip while in recovery, then the new kernel. End it. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] simms22:
you need to wipe data when flashing 2 different unrelated roms, you dont need wipe anything when flashing kernels. i never wipe data, cache, nor dalvik(cache/dalvik gets wiped when you flash a rom) and yet have no issues.

Ive been lurking in the background since r23 so obviously a relative newbie. Ive had pretty consistant battery usage throughout all of the different releases until r32. 23 > 31 I would go to work, have some wifi time, have some time on the London underground where the radio is searching for a signal and some time making calls. An average working day is 12 hours away from home and the battery would be at approx 30%.

Along comes r32 and all of a sudden i have a two day phone. I still have 75% free. Wifi has been on all day and signal has been average... I was even running the phone with wifi tethering turned on for a while today. Very impressed to the point that im not leaving r32. Thanks Franco...

r34:

* Few reverts to ensure better stability

* More improvements in the Hotplug driver: Since the sampling rate was adjusted a few patches ago I never got to update the timers in the delayed works to be according the new rate and the more sampling periods. Should be more snappy now when the device needs the extra processing power, without sacrificing battery.

Flashed #34 via app, after reboot got grey bars. Flashed stock and reflashed #34 have blue bars all the way up. Try it out if anyone else have the same issue.

I have blue bars. Read the FAQ - blue bars is Google services connection.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Twau:
r33 solved all my issues I had with data and grey bars after unlock screen after deep sleep. Gave me over 4 hours screen time, stock ROM.

Flashed r34 now, first thing I noticed is using the stock keyboard with swype feels more responsive/smoother.

Thank u Franco for r34 :thumbup:

Err... I reverted some patches because they were not being helpful... look at my github please. Like some users just said, some micro lags are gone now because I hadn't adjust the timers on the kernel works for the Hotplug driver.

Thanks for the amazing work on the kernels. I noticed that your kernels don't work with the built in bug reporting on the N4. Any way to enable that?

Where can I get a run down of how this kernal differs from stock, what advantages are there for me to flash this? I'm trying to choose between stock, which ive had no issues with, this or Faux kernal, both of which I hear people raving about. But I've no idea in practical terms what difference flashing either of these would make?

When I flashed kernals on my Desire for example, they usually made huge differences to power consumption for example. What does this kernal change?

bluetooth issues?

i was last using a version 1-2 weeks old, so please don't jump on me if this has been addressed in the past couple weeks, but i don't see anything in the changelogs.

i had lots of problems with bluetooth, specifically A2DP. there were weird volume issues (such as the volume getting quieter over time, or suddenly getting louder when i went into the sound settings). also, i had issues with audio playing thru the earpiece speaker rather than the speakerphone speaker (when not playing over A2DP), and the volume rocker controlling the phone volume no matter what (eg it should control the bluetooth volume, or the speakerphone audio, but it continued to control the phone volume). all of these *seemed* to be triggered by using A2DP, but there were so many and such varied oddities it was a little difficult to isolate anything.

i'm completely stock except for franco's kernel (and being rooted, of course), and experienced these issues over several version of the kernel, so i don't believe it's an installation issue.

i've seen some other discussions on bluetooth audio in this thread without all the issues i have, so i guess this could just be me. i've flashed back to the stock kernel, but haven't tested thoroughly yet to see if the issues are resolved. i didn't have these issues before installing franco's kernel, but of course there could have been some coincident app install (i've tried to find a suspect app and haven't yet).

just thought i'd throw this information out there to see if it seemed like a likely issue.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
There needs to be another thread for taking about roms. It becomes hard to find information that pertains to this thread when we all derail it. Don't flame me guys, just trying to keep us on track so we aren't having to read through 20 pages of which ROM rocks out harder.

I can't speak on blue tooth as I don't use it. But as far as I can remember from what I've read, it isn't a kernel specific issue. Your best bet may be to hang tight and hope that 4.2.2 fixes the bugs that have been plaguing us.

Franco, I have a question. I have r31 and I've been getting insane battery life the past few days. Do the HSIC patches that have been reverted affect battery life? Like in theory, would r34 give me less battery life than 31, or not really?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
If r31 is giving you great results, just stick with it. I'm using r34 right now and personally I don't like it. My battery level certainly depletes faster than r32.

OK. BTW the hsic wakelock for some reason behaves quite well with me. It's been staying under 2% (on WiFi) which is really good compared to about 7-9% on r33. Have you done anything about it in the latest version or is it just something from my device.

I'm currently enjoying very decent battery life and the snappiest experience so far. One more time thanks!

Interesting. I decided to let that change out of the changelog. I added 2 HSIC patches that I know I used before and caused NO data problems at all, morfic is also using them without any problems.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
The two you added back definitely make the msm_hsic_host wakelocks almost non-existent on WiFi, unfortunately they don't help at all while on 3G/H/H+, but depending on how much WiFi someone uses this is still better than nothing especially since they don't affect data.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JMonkeYJ:
yeah, that's the changelog i looked at. i don't see anything regarding bluetooth, audio, or A2DP. do you see something i'm missing?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] lightosx:
Hello everyone! Today is a great day for me because I've finally reached 10 posts and can now participate in this wonderful thread with you great folks. I've been using franco kernel ever since the gnexus 1xx builds and have been a fan ever since. I truly admire your work franco; thank you so much for all the endless hours you've put into making my phone run like the beast it's meant to be.

I know the data issues have been talked about plenty and everyone is probably tired of hearing about it, but I just want to share my experience with r32. I live in Victoria and I hadn't had a single data drop on r32, so I decided to stick with it instead of upgrading to r33. Yesterday when traveling to Vancouver, as soon as I got off the ferry and on the bus the data drops were terrible, even though I was on the same carrier (Rogers), but in a different city. I eventually managed to download r33 and the hsic revert fixed everything. On r34 now and everything is running super smooth.

Also I made it to the 6hrs club with r27 (benrees21). I haven't been able to properly test the battery on the latest versions cause franco moves faster than my battery can drain!

The ones reverted in r33 definitely adversely affected battery life significantly. I'm excited to test r34 though.

Oh you trickster. I always felt like people cried wolf when HSIC patches were mentioned in the changelog like they were looking extra carefully for data drops. I wasn't going to download r34 because I thought all the HSIC patches were reverted, but I'll give it a shot now! Are these the same HSIC patches that were in r29/r30?

Edit: Checked the r30 tag on github and found the same patches in them under usb. Awesome!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] lightosx:
So I just played NFS:MW for about an hour and a half on r34 and I noticed on perfmon (thanks miasmic) that 99% of the time only cpu0 and cpu1 were used and running at 1512. The game runs with no problems with only 2 cores and it heated up a bit as expected, but it made me wonder if it would help at all to switch between cores when they reach a certain temperature? Say instead of throttling cpu0 and cpu1 to 1026, switch to cpu2/cpu3 and turn cpu0/cpu1 off if no extra performance is needed and then do then same when cpu2/cpu3 heats up. I know there is only so much that can be done to reduce heat, but it could be worth trying.
