I just barely upgraded to 4.3 and now have Paranoid Android 3.99. Are there any issues I need to know about when using Faux Kernel with this ROM?

Furthermore, are there any special steps I need to take for flashing this kernel? Do I need to flash a reset kernel first? I read the OP but was confused about the OTG hack mentioned.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] justanut:
Buy it, try it, if you don't like it, Google play has refund options.. 15 mins or something
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
Don't worry about the 15 min thingy.. if you really don't like it, just email me and I will refund you.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RedBeardT:
The gain in volume and quality make it a must have purchase. I will not even consider a kernel if it lacks faux sound. Buy it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
wanted to know if its applicable on Nexus4 also and safe to use with these settings ?

Yes.

I want to try this Kernel with Carbon but I can't tell which version (JSS/JWR) to install... I've searched for info on this and found some vague comments that made me think Carbon is JSS based but I'm not sure.

You could have just used search in carbon thread and not in this one:

Is there a way to increase in-call volume via faux sound/speaker apps? I'm not sure which setting to tweak, but I can barely hear people I talk to :(

Set faux speaker to 'max loudness' and faux sound to 'quality' make sure you select both to 'set on boot' done ;)

Lol faux quoted me but didn't post a response to these questions.

Can anyone answer this for me?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Freacky24:
If you have 3.99 without any custom kernel you can just flash this one.

I don't think you will use otg, so don't worry about that ;)

If you are going to use otg someone else has to answer what to flash, because I do not use it.

Is there a difference between faux sound and awesome beats?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fischwrap:
I actually has these settings. Maybe I'm just going deaf! Do these apps control the ear piece volume/gain, not just the rear speaker?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] FrozenLord:
Imho Fauxspeaker controls the rear speaker while Fauxsound is responsible for everything else.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Faux Sound is a core hack, it allows you to control parameters of the audio chip itself. I'm pretty sure beats is audio processing at the user space level.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] elitemeat:
Yea but I thought PA roms use a modified version of Franco kernel.

When I was on 4.2.2 and had PA rom I had to flash Faux's reset kernel before flashing the mainline Faux kernel or I would get stuck at a bootloop.

Anyways, I can't find a reset kernel for 4.3 in the OP. So do I even need to flash it first?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Freacky24:
if you have not modified your PA 3.99 you can just flash the latest JWR Faux without any problems, because the PA Franco kernel is modded in a way that doesnt interfere with the compatibility, so just latest PA and latest JWR Faux, without reset or stuff

wait what? currently rereading you post.

i had PA 4.2.2 and ALWAYS flashed Faux without any problem ?! am i missing something?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Demonic240:
PA uses their own kernel that is modified BY Franco. It's not his kernel. I'm on PA 3.99-RC2 and was running FK JWR 184. All I did was wipe cache/dalvik and then flashed Faux26m JWR with no problems what so ever.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] elitemeat:
Yea for some reason I had a bootloop once when I first flashed PA 4.2.2 and faux. I posted here and they told me to flash the reset kernel and it fixed the problem for me. I just assumed I had to do it every time I updated my ROM and kernel so I did it because it never hurt.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Freacky24:
ok never had that problem, i dont know why you had to do this, this problem never occured to me.

so to get back on topic, grab latest PA 3.99 and latest Faux JWR and tell us, whether it worked or not. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] a g bell:
OK so lm probably a bit to much of a noob to be using this kernel but could somebody explain an error l have seen using the latest 026 jwr performance kernel with stock and psx roms.

So l go to recovery flash something try to reboot and can't a green screen appears saying ap watchdog error bark detected and gives me various options to enter fastboot

Am l doing something stupid here?:eek:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
you didn't do anything wrong.

This is done ON purpose so you can DIFFERENTIATE the random crash due to hardware issues or Modem issues.

Without this, sometimes you will get a Random Crash and you would have NO IDEA what the cause maybe because MODEM crashes are NOT reported properly (ie, in your case AP Watchdog Bark!) Simply choose reboot and you are good to go.. It's just a screen showing you the error in the bootloader portion (which helps catch hard to detect errors).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] a g bell:
ahh thank you so much l was little worried not seeing this ever before

Bit odd phone would refuse to reboot kept going back to same screen but now l know what that screen is less of a worry,a bit of fear of the unknown:)but if phone refuse to boot with same error is there anything else worth reporting here?:confused:

Can anyone provide a simple method to install busybox? I am now on stock, later today I will unlock bootloader and I want to flash faux but I know that the app need a busybox to work properly.

Keep getting random reboots into "ap watchdog bark detected" I dunno what it means. On carbonrom 9/23
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
can someone show a screenshot how does it look ? i also face random reboots sometimes.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mash87:
something like that?

Are you undervolting? Most likely this is caused by it.

If you do increase the voltage back a step and see if the reboots / watchdog barks happen again.

Faux once said that the N4 modem is rather sensitive to undervolting.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] millomonk:
Hi,

I try to compile cm10.2 form sources and want to switch from cm to your kernel. So I checked out jb_mr2_jss branch and wanted to make the changes to BoardConfig.mk.

But I don't know which file to provide for defconfig. Searched this thread and found your post about faux_mako_defconfig, but I can't find the file...

Am I blind or is there a reason why it's not included?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mor_1228:
I never saw this type of screen
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zakkyzombie:
That's the screen. But it varies on color. Sometimes its red or blue or pink.

And, no, no undervolting, under clocking, nothing. I only use kernals for fast charge, custom colors, and otg.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] FrozenLord:
I got that screen on earlier versions of Carbon.

My solution was to switch over to Paranoid which cured the problem.

It is known that fast charge can cause instability, so you could try turning that off.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ak:
You can install the kernel and extract config.gz from proc dir
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scarcry:
I got that screen running both official PA and [MENTION=3080607]fabi280[/MENTION]'s PA nightlies with mainline kernels.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dassin4:
Just wanted to share my experience: I was getting the green watchdog screen crash / reboot VERY often (after about a minute of booting up) as soon as I flashed this kernel (everything was fine on stock JWR and franco 184). I couldn't figure it out until I flashed the stock .84 radio image as opposed to the LTE hybrid modem that I had been using (with no reboots) with the other kernels.

No LTE, no crashes. Not sure what's going on here, but I'd rather have Faux kernel than LTE :)

Edit: never mind, still didn't work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kat-CeDe:
Hi,

then I think you set it to performance. This is good for games/benchmarks but a waste of battery. Default I think is ondemand but I use interactive.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] millomonk:
That's my current workaround. But you need to flash the kernel before you can build it...

kinda chicken-and-egg situation

You can also use defconfig from my git under the last AK faux
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] odeccacccp:
So is this official this kernel does not work with Hybrid Radio?

I think I used it before thou.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dassin4:
Turns out it didn't work for me even with the stock radio. Got another green screen this morning , right after my alarm clock didn't go off. Both my stock and aftermarket alarm clock apps would FC when I try to configure an alarm , even after a reboot and clearing their data. Flashed another kernel and all is good. I hope I'm a fluke.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] odeccacccp:
Exactly this is my problem as well on 26u JSS, but mine only works for like 5 sec. then freeze and then green screen.

I am on CM custom rom, is this kernel something problem or am I doing something wrong?

I've used Faux before on the same rom it worked great.

Hi, Faux,

Could you check the volume setting for headset during the phone call?

I am using 26m.

I found out that during phone call my headset volume is too loud.

Even I tried to lower the volume, it stays very very loud.

My ear can hardly take that.

Does anyone have the similar experience?

I am using faux clock only. I am not using faux's other audio apps.

help, please!

Thanks

Is Adaptive Voltage Scaling in Snapdragon CPU turned off? I was just aware of this in Nexus 7 2013 and just wondering if it applies to Nexus 4 too. So we aren't really undervolting if its enable as it resets back to normal?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45796321&postcount=834
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] arvonn:
Your mileage may vary, but for me 26u is stable with cm10.2 nightlies if.. Either a.) Zram enabled. + enough voltage ( no under volting) and GPU oced

Or b) z ram disabled + GPU under clocked and CPU under volted...

B ) is much better on battery ... And running GPU at 320 MHz is more than enough for me.

I had all sorts of problems when I started using zram... I had to over volt ..run at +50 MV...to stay stable.

Shut off zram and now I am back to -100mV..

All with hybrid 27/84 radio

[MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION] default faux kernel works as dual core...and if not how i get this results??
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
No, default is mpdecision + ondemand. It's all the Linux 3.9+ hybrid technology.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:
So you are using something different from other devs??3.9 kernel??we use 3.4???Your results are close with trinity that has default maxcores=2
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ÜBER™:
3.9 patches, the kernel however is still 3.4 just has backported patches IIRC.

Which if those results are accurate that's insane, just attests to greatness of this kernel if with all cores available uses about as much power as only having two cores.

i dont uv but do oc a little, quite happy at 1.7ghz-performance gpu- not had any camera problems at all so not sure why you had them?- i do know that n4 is very sensitive to uv since 4.3 so maybe that was what caused your glitches,some phones will not uv at all and some are quite happy with -100mv-150mv
