I am on AOKP latest nightly and r47 and getting 4 hours screen on and around 20 hours standby on full charge with brightness on 50 percent. I never have and never will use auto brightness as its too dark.

I use Franco kernel updator and freeze AOKP performance control and set minimum frequency 594and max 1350 settings and its perfectly smooth with what I think is great battery. That's with whatsapp and gmail syncing on 3g with some WiFi and lots of texting.

Hi all,

I'm totally new to kernel changing in my Nexus 4, I have flashed the r47 versions and I have some questions:

Do I have to modify parameters like in faux kernel or do just flash and enjoy ?

I have installed trickster MOD, and I see that the max freq is 1134 is this not low ?

I have no access to other Governor than interactive is this normal ?

I know I ask questions that I'm sure has been asked a lot of time but 800 pages is a lot and I can't find good answers...

Thanks if someone can answer me, and if not thanks aniway ;)...

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

1. Yes, f&f. :D

2. No, it will max when it has to. Probably a trickster bug, I remember something similar drum a couple of weeks ago.

3. True, only interactive.

And disabling google now and map auto location and location history helps

(With approx consistent brightness levels), it's the type of screen-on activity which affects my battery loss the most. When I was switching launchers and a new ROM rev, I had to move all my apps back onto the screen -- resulting in a lot of heptic feedback. Then I tested out the various gps mapping solutions.

In these initial 12 mins, my battery dropped 7%. That's ~35% per hour. Whereas later on, simple browsing, etc. (no video) ranged from 17% to 20% per hour. 17% per hour would translate to close to 6 hrs whereas 35% would be under 3 hrs. So people with 4 hrs of batt shouldn't despair too much. :)

FYI, for the curious, sleep on HSPA with FrancoR46, R47 and Faux Beta 4m were all under 0.3% per hour (for my setup -- with gTalk/gNow etc frozen but sync on).

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

Kind of curious here. My phone has a delay in when I touch, and when it registers the touch. I really notice it in typing on a keyboard and opening app drawer. I compared it to my brothers nexus 4 which is stock everything and it doesn't have the delay. What could I do to possibly fix this? I'm on r47 and have noticed it throughout all the builds since r23

Edit: I am on minco and I did notice it on cm10.1 before too. Also when I'm typing every ~20th letter it doesn't vibrate.

Talking of black screens, has anyone had one when you have your phone plugged in and in the settings you have stay awake checked?

Yesterday I had mine plugged in via the USB on my computer with stay awake checked so the phone doesn't sleep. All of a sudden I had a black screen (not truly black as you could see the backlight, it looked like the boot screen without the logo) I pressed the screen a few times and nothing, then pressed the power button a few times and it came back to life.

No screen protector here and I already said I was on the latest build, r47.

It has happened the whole time on all the builds. Maybe its just my phone since no one else has this issue? I think I've noticed it more on r47 but who knows.

Maybe you had a wakelock, because I only lost 1% on WiFi in 7 hours, 0.1% idle drain/hr.

This has nothing to do with a kernel comparison, but in the OP of another well known kernel, it states that because this kernel image contains a "non-standard" ramdisk, it is advised to flash a special "kernel reset" tool, which appears to be a very similar boot.img to stock (not quite equivalent) before flashing to a kernel that does contain the "standard (stock)" ramdisk.

What's this all about, and why wouldn't an "erase cache/delvik cache" function perform the same thing as some sort of "kernel reset" tool?

Just curious, that's all. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Not sure about what you've read but the cache/dalvik have nothing to do with the kernel, so whether you clean them or not, makes no difference when flashing.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] floepie:
? Surely you need to wipe cache before or after a kernel flash. I can't go from stock to franco (or vice-versa) without a cache wipe, otherwise I encounter a boot loop..

My original question though pertained to the need for a special "reset tool" if straying *away* from this kernel due to the non-standard ramdisk.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jkoljo:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34

Kernel consists of kernel zImage + ramdisk (+ other stuff). It is possible to only change the zImage in a boot.img, so that ramdisk remains the same. If my memory does not fail me, Franco kernel is an entire boot.img, so the old ramdisk gets automatically replaced.

Ah, I was aware that you could you leave the stock ramdisk in place, but I thought you had to *always* include the ramdisk in the boot.img, even if it was stock.
