I think the bootloop was caused by franco's modified ramdisk. If you want to try other kernels you should flash stock boot.img then flash the other kernel. It's just an advice. BTW I don't think this kernel is for performance and gaming only. I use it for a long time. The UV is a good thing to decrease the heating of the phone i use - 100 mV, It depends on your cpu type

Hey, I am currently using r203 and i do not find the battery to be too great compared to stock, so I want to try r201 because many have said that the battery is much better on that version. Do i just flash that one over and wipe dalvik and cache? Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
Oohh.. And i thought I'm the only one. Tried semaphore and variants, hells and variants but always back to franco's.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Just flash without wiping nothing...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Piemo:
Haven't read last 70pages, but...just a quick (probably silly question):

Is development on N4 kernel stopped? Never seen a so long pause between two releases since I installed FK on my GNexus.

Is Franco over other project yet (maybe RL)?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Gemichi:
oh...thanks for the information :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
I've being using this version of Franco for months now... Still using r200 Franco-Sabermod since the performance is amazing and the battery is the best I've ever had. It comes with a few more optimizations I including Faux sound and prima drivers for wifi (faster and more battery efficient wifi) and supercharger (fast charging battery - 1%/ 1.5 minutes).

BTW, I'm not responsible if something happens to your phone... But a lot of us are using this version and can't complain about it since it's amazingly based on Franco Kernel.

Nandroid first and flash.

If you want to try it here's a link from my Dropbox :

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scissorscrush:
Everything is great on this kernel but the battery life may be a question but if I may, I would like to give a suggestion as I'm on hellscore now (which isn't as battery friendly as Franco but still testing), the touch screen responsiveness is a huge difference in hellscore. I mean the moment you touch the screen and scroll, there is very little difference in that time and feels smooth as hell. I hope Franco sees this.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Tell me please, I am using Franco now, if I would like to go back to stock kernel, with the Wugfresh Nexus root toolkit, can I just do "restore stock kernel" or it's more complicated ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rohit02:
Just flash the stock kernel zip, profit.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
I don't have the ZIP file, but with the Wugfresh I can do it, right ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rohit02:
Here is the flashable zip file : KOT49H kernel.zip

Yes even toolkit works
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Thank You.

And just to be sure, I won't be able to update the stock android with Franco kernel, right ?

Franco kernel is not CM compatible (CAF).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jekkel:
with stock

Maybe a noob question, but can I use this kernel with stock 4.4.2? And if I can, is it improving battery life compared to stock kernel?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Edvin73:
Yes, you can use it and no, it doesn't improve battery life but improves a lot of other stuff.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ciao99:
really? i didn't know this. My last rom was cm10.1.3 and i used it with fk. It's so sad, i love franco kernels :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jekkel:
Thanks. In this case which kernel should i use for an improved battery life? Of course without losing performance ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
I use FK for quite a while using stock, and I'm really happy, but I feel like changing things up a bit.

Can someone tell me from his/her's experience, does FK work well along with Purity Rom? Does it perform better/worse? how's battery life/performance compared to stock?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ejadsyahrizad:
try hellcore... but... In fact... performance need a battery to maintain the performance. but in Franco,

battery life = normal performance = butter smooth = Franco kernel... ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jekkel:
And how is it compared to stock kernel? I assume that performance is at least that good as stock, but I'm afraid that I'm losing even more precious battery time.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] samuelrf:
you'll get better battery life and better performance for sure, i promise ;)

btw, why to use stock? flash a custom rom and fk, you'll discover a new world :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
The best thing about custom kernels is that you can tweak the hell out of them. You're on xda – take some time, learn what the tunables do, and enjoy the ability to make the kernel do exactly what you want ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Man, I had few Galaxies - S1, S2.... there I flashed custom roms because I really hated Samsung addons - tons of them !!!

Now I am with N4, stock 4.4.2 - its great ! Really, its clean no **** like other roms, so I flashed Xposed stuff and now the Franco.

I think Google clean rom works great, and Xposed addons make it better. I see no reason to flush other roms.

And about the battery - you are right R201 better then R203 (my oppinion), and undervolting helps a lot !
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] samuelrf:
i know that stock ROM is really good, but why to stay with a good ROM when you can use an awesome ROM? :p

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jekkel:
Totally agree. I'm coming from i9001. On that I have flashed many roms and kernels to get loose of samsung stuff and all worked great. But N4 is an other dimension with stock rom too.

I'll give a try to xposed and franco kernel soon I think.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] anandbibek:
Any idea why this constant stream of errors?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gecko316:
currently on latest purity with stock rom.

thinking of flashing r201 or r200 as i get better battery with those over r203... any other good battery/stable roms besides franco that work well with purity?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] svnhvn:
ROM besides Franco?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sandy-achar:
Any one else gets delayed notifications on r200?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] randras83:
+1. I'm coming from HTC Sensation it was a great experience about flashing roms and tweaking.

I tried some custom roms for N4 but I always revert back to stock with Franco. I use ART so I don't use xposed.

BTW with the earlier franco kernels there was some in-call delay and problems with flac audio (shutter etc.) I really hope we will get a new r204.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
By rooting, unlocking boot loader and flashing a custom kernel your warranty is out. You can get it back by restoring and locking, but there's nothing to worry about
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
I don't know about rooting, but unlocking the bootloader of nexus devices does not void warranty
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hardwareadictos:
I think (in the cases of the Nexus's) that you only break warranty if you make physical damages to the device (scratch screen or put phone into a liquid) on october my nexus 4 was having motherboard troubles, was with Cyanogenmod, bricked-kernel, rooted, overclocked and unlocked (all possibilities to charge me a new device on my account :P) and when i returned it to google due to mb issues they send me a new replacement without charges, totally free, with this message i mean that nexus are phones are devices for development, and google asumes that you buy the phone to put it to its max possibilities, going to phone limits, and for this only send you a replacement if you dont damage the phone phisically, but, this is just my case :)

Please tell me why I'm getting this constant stream of errors on franco kernel and CM rom? Does it happen with stock ROM also?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gtanner00:
Well for a start franco is incompatible with anything CM based since about October of this year. I'm surprised you even got it to boot properly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] anandbibek:
There are CM compatible franco kernels. Which includes some ramdisk modification and the two famous CAF display commits.

But the errors I'm getting constantly seems to be a generic one, with nothing related to CM or compatibility.

Could you or anyone please confirm by checking your logcat if it has those constant errors too?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gtanner00:
I don't have any of those.

He's only one person. Be patient my friend I'm sure he has so much going on at the moment . And its not like he has abandoned the nexus 4. Lets just enjoy what we have now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Sure seems like it, because it has been a long time now since he even replied in this thread. I sure hope he releases a new edition for N4 because the N5 kernel received a lot of fixes/improvements that might benefit our N4.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
As a hammerhead owner, many of the improvements are now being reverted.

There are audio/bluetooth and a couple other things that have him puzzled. In fact, he's about to revert a bunch/boatload of commits (start at stock, go from there).

It may be a while before he gets to other devices again. However, I've suggested that he make much smaller changes to N5 and wait three days to see if the changes are good or bad. And, maybe take one of those days to give another nexus love.

Maybe he likes what I said. Maybe not. It's up to Franco.

Guys who were asking about other roms: try Rastakat(as close to stock as possible with few important unobtrusive mods) + Banks minimal gapps + qualcomm dalvik/bionic tweaks + franko +ART. This combination is the best android experience I've ever had and totally cured my flash'o'holism

How is battery life? Is it anything close to Purity?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] PugRallye:
Have you used a recent build of Purity (also with things like Franko, Qualcomm drivers, ART etc)?

Just asking because I've tried loads of ROMs and always end up going back to Purity.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arcticrobot:
I haven't. But according to Purity description it is heavier modified, than Rastakat. From my experience Rasta is closest to stock with just the mods I prefer to have(led notification, battery circle - thats all I need). It's got a little more, but I really only need these two.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] chrisrozon:
Honestly, at this point what's left to fix? I think 18 months in this kernel is about as good as it's going to get.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] PugRallye:
I would encourage you to try Purity then.

You may think that because it's a little "heavier" it may not be as good, but it's by far the best (smoothest, best battery etc) ROM I've ever used on my N4.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] IndDoc:
Yep, true. I don't meant to sound rude and ungrateful, but just a headsup to everyone asking for "updates" - franco does this all the time. That's just how he works. GSM GNex users will know what I am talking about - he goes at one device like crazy, and the moment something newer comes, it's adios muchachos.

HTC One X, OG Note, GNex, Nexus 10 -- just some of the devices he's left abandoned. And now, this device as well.

The community owes a lot to him, though. Dynamic hotplug, gamma tweaks, FKU app, all amazing work. We can hope N4 continues to get some more development, but the chances of that happening are growing smaller.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RootNightmareX:
At least a final version which improves the battery life will be awesome :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pollie81:
serious? i think r203 is awesome..

this and arkenstones kernel are my top favourites, both in terms of smoothness and battery life.

i've read some comments about battery issues on r203 but i never had any issues with this version.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RootNightmareX:
R203 performance is awesome but the battery could be better ...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] blsrbl:
Yeah r200 is far better than r203 in battery. Even r201 is better but 200 is the best among these.

Can someone please explain me what is hotplug?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
It means turning on / off CPU cores
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yanleites:
It means that if I want my Nexus 4 works with 2 cores I set it there?

I thought android does it itself, it turns on more cores only if it needs...

So I just limit the Android to work on 1 or 2 cores by that function?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scissorscrush:
It has an option there which says on touch how many should be enabled. So i guess that says that but I don't know if you can limit the cores active all time.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hughfollett:
By default you have all the 4 cores on. That doesn't mean they are on all the time, but they're available when an activity needs them.. With hotplug you can turn of permanently some cpu cores..

R.I.P N4 Franco kernel, lol just playing I did move to hellscore though!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheRebel:
Both kernels are good. No offence to Franco Kernel (he's an awesome dev).

But I also tried hellscore, the only thing I disliked about it, it lags during games. Like subway surf was lagging. Tried changing GPU governor to On-Demand, but no big improvement.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] khanhtrinh:
You got it wrong sir. The r203 version doesnot neccessarily implicate that there were 203 updates.

Was a fan of franco kernel for a long time, but I switched to hellscore and stayed with it. However, I feel that nexus 4 development is coming to an end. No significant update for months. Hopefully a new version of Android would improve this situtation.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] karthi89:
Yes. Once Nexus 6 is released, it will become much worse. Hard to accept.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] forever_lol:
I am afraid you're right sir.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Once the N6 is out, I'm in!

I'm getting that baby for sure!

I love my N4... I didn't see any significant reason to buy the N5.. And this is coming from a guy that buys a new phone every 4 months. That stopped when I got my N4.

I know that the N6 is going to be worth buying...

Development for the N4 will continue but not as much as last year.. Nor this year.. It is what it is :)

People still develop for the HTC HD2! And I think the N4 will have that longevity.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pollie81:
I really can't believe some of the guys here.. complaining about the lack of updates and posting so much nonsense.. I don't know if Franco will return to this project but all the nonsense posted here for sure isn't going to help to get him back on track.

and I personally think this is still one of the best kernels around.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Piemo:
Well, seeing the new technologies around in mobile world... no, probably the N6 would be the same of a N5, which is pretty the same of a N4.

Yet "we" are at a very high level, and if you see the new offers of the S5, you accept that are all useless crap made to make the phone more "new". But in fact there's nothing new at all in which will change the usability of a phone... at least until someone would create something different, and special.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
I agree with you.. We've reached that level were will take sometime to see the next real innovation... What I meant is that most likely the N6 will have a better camera, which I miss... Some new hardware specs of course... But for the same reason the N5 isn't much of an upgrade, the N6 would be some how a good upgrade to have coming from the N4.

Suggestion - create a new app which does ONLY kernel customization, without colors, without per-app. As you do it only to raise money. Then comes only file manager. Then only volting. Then you may combine: per-app + colors, per-app + kernel customization, per-app + volting, per-app + color + kernel, per-app + file manager, per-app + volting + color. And so on. Go ahead franco. And all of them paid of course. Btw you may add IAP to cheat achievements, e.g 0,99 for +10 flashes, or 6,99 for +100 flashes

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
_artem_ I don't want to argue with you but whats your problem? Franco is 1 guy, about 6 supported devices at the moment. He does tend to focus on the new ones when they come out. You aren't the first ones to not be the focus of attention, when this phone came out galaxy nexus stopped getting so many updates, and the note phones and htc and what ever got dropped completely when he went nexus only.

Simple thing is to be grateful for the work he has put in so far, if you want updates first get a newer device. I skipped nexus 4 as I was in 2 year contract on my galaxy nexus, same as my nexus 5 so I'll skip the nexus 6 probably as I'm on 2 year contract. Acting entitled is not a good thing.

Also bearing in mind I think android development is Franco's full time job at the moment, he has bills to pay same as everyone else. How will he get new cool devices to work on if he has to ask for donations off the community to buy them?

Post from [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] on G+

Someone asked me yesterday which setup was more battery friendly (this may apply to the Nexus 5, 4 and 7), two cores only but max frequency unlocked, or 4 cores always online with lower max frequency.

My answer was, without any numbers to back it up, that 4 cores with lower max frequency will be a better balance than 2 cores with no capped max frequency.

To try and back it up I'll be running with 4 cores always online (screen off doesnt count) and 1190MHz as max frequency for a couple days to see the results.

Do you have anything to share from your experiences? Let us know :)﻿

End of quote.

What did you guys think? Im trying it with lower the hotplug to 10 and lower the freq to 1134mhz.
