I can understand the desire to push as much out of a device as possible using OC, im usually right there lol,

But as its causing hardware problems im not going near it , and anyway, this device is a 1.5ghz quadcore, its so fast it burns sometimes..

I do look forward to all the cool kernel features though :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
Here's the issue with Qualcomm's m(ake)p(oor)decision binary :(. mpdecsion has a poor design flaw to begin with. Instead of reading the maximum "user set" frequency, it reads the maximum "system" frequency (in the overclocking kernel case, it would be 1.83 GHz). So when it hotplugs the cores on and off, it would IGNORE the user set maximum and use the "system" maximum instead. This is exactly why m(ake)p(oor)decision is not good IMHO. I have since deactivated m(ake)p(oor)decision for my intellidemand version, hopefully this wouldn't be an issue any more.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] v6ser:
Maybe that's something about S4 pro processor(if you're using same source of course), if i know about you well as i think i do, you have no devices with dis type of processor except Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
N4 is the first S4-pro device I developed for. I don't have LG Optimus G series or any other S4-pro devices.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
Makes perfect sense.....I am guessing all those that were bricked during benchmarks were NOT using intellidemand. I wasn't as it doesn't clock all 4 cores to the maximum. I'm glad this isn't an issue when using intellidemand. Very nice work!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] undercover:
Does it mean mpdecision is disabled all together on any governor or just when on intellidemand?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
mpdecision is disabled for the system from 005 and beyond.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
If thats the case then why did I experience that on the oc version of 005? I was using ondemand as the gov at the time.

Can we flash the .img in CWR? Or does it have to be a zip?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nibrwr:
Needs to be a zip for CWR. Use fastboot for .img files
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] FallingEdge:
Thank you very much.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
you can do "ps" using adb or terminal emulator to see if "mpdecision" was active or not. If it is, then you can do "stop mpdecision" to disable it.

I'm running this kernel right now, and am enjoying the tweakability and undervolting and all that. I have one problem though, and I don't know if this is a widespread thing, or how long it's been happening, but I cannot under any circumstance seem to get my minimum CPU frequency to stick at 384. It always jumps back to 1026. Is anyone having similar issues? I spend about 50% of my time at 384 regardless, so I think the problem is superficial.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] FallingEdge:
Follow up Q, is the .zip usually provided by the developer? Or is it something we can create ourselves via a script/program using the .img provided?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
No Frills CPU Control....go into settings and select "prevent change from other apps". This is the only program I am aware that addresses this currently.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Shaky156:
If youre disabling mpdecision, you probz better off getting out a custom powerhal or disbaling the current one, itll spam the logcat on how touchboost isnt working (imo touchboost is alot of ballocks) probz shrows freq to 1-1.5ghz when you touch the screen. I also think disabling dcvs(dynamic clock/voltage scaling) would help its controlling all the voltages & freqs :).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] undercover:
Google "make flashable zip android". Easy as pie. Although, I'm not sure how it works with IMG files on Nexus. On HTC you hat to name it PGxximg.zip and flash from bootloader.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] undercover:
I'd be all over it if it had custom uv table. On stock voltages it just runs too hot. Not requesting or asking for anything, just throwing it out in the open for you to consider. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eep2378:
Read back a few pages. Faux put a kernel out there for people who prefer stock feel. Its basically a stock Google kernel with hsic wake lock and data fixes included.

Edit: and YES. It does support gamma controls :D:D

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The2max:
Does anyone know how Faux's enhanced stock compares to the kernel Cyanogenmod uses? I'd read CM has made a few changes, but always assumed it was fairly similar to stock as well. (I'm sorry if this a little off topic)

Stock-ish Nexus 4 kernel does seem to yield the smoothest performance for me. Personally I'd be happy with a kernel that runs like stock screen-on, but gets the amazing idle battery life of Faux's kernel. Even with MPdecision/Interactive on, it just doesn't run quite as smooth for me as stock, especially on games like Need For Speed.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Enhanced stock definitely feels snappier... no hiccups.... Interactive/MPdecision off, 1134000/384
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Jake-CT:
What is best setting for enhanced stock to make it closer to "stock" - interactive or on demand? Overclock GPU or not? I think CM 10.1 defaults to On demand but is stock usually interactive for project butter?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nbeebe24:
+1 I never really got a chance to test the stock kernel (flashed a custom one almost immediately after rooting) but all I can say is wow! The stock kernel is yielding better performance and battery life as far as I can tell. Beta 5 was depleting my battery ridiculously quick and was really really choppy. I think I'll be sticking with the enhanced stock kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abz54:
Hi faux,

Will you be implementing or have you implemented the discussion you had with showp about thermal throttling and sensor 7
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] djemgee:
Sorry guys but what build is this near stock kernel with the wake lock fixes :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] The2max:
Is intelliplug in the stock enhanced kernel for when MPdecision is off?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hrithan2020:
If true, [better battery life thingy] then it could be a great alternative to franco kernel or motley stable line one. [As those who need UV to reduce heat or s2w , can still use other kernels which support that]
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] djemgee:
No worries grabbed it:rolleyes:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
My thermal fixes are already done. There are no issues with stock thermal sensors. It was a false alarm about sensor 7 not working. So there's nothing to fix or modify.

I dont have much knowledge on this stuff, but in my humble opinion, I highly doubt it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 0.0:
So to those users with the enhanced stock kernel, is it placebo in terms of performance and battery comparing to the faux one?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Sucalakafufu:
so i decided to see why people are flashing stock enhanced over the betas. and tbh it feels exactly the same. im feeling that this "smoothness" users are feeling is completely placebo or rom related. anyone else switched back and forth and feels the same? or do you think its actually better on stock?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] droidmeup:
Its a placebo. I'm back to beta 6 :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Its a stock kernel, disabling MPdecision is why everything is so fast. Your cores will all stay online full time, as intellidemand is not present in a "stock" kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] whittikins:
This is very true. I can relate 100%. I have found that Motley's kernel achieves this stock-like speed and smoothness while still giving good battery life. Matr1x seems to do this too. I think there is something amiss with Franco/Faux's custom hotplugging and core management, or perhaps agressively low clock speeds. I very much respect all of the devs' work and innovations, but I think there is something major that can be tweaked to resolve these butter issues.

I found Faux' earlier betas a bit laggy buy since the introduction of Intelliplug it's been perfectly smooth and has given great battery life. I only experience micro-stutters in poorly coded apps like Tapatalk but even then it's barely noticeable.

Had a data drop using beta6. Dmesg link is https://www.box.com/shared/v9yefo1h93hbziuzbdy5

I think beta 4 has been my best recently for all over performance including data and battery life....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Lol. +1 on this.

No way is my take on this......

BTW - liking beta 6. Average temps are 10-15 degrees lower than stock or harsh or Franco.

Phone is between 27-32 degrees on faux, other kernels were in the 39-43 degrees even just listening to music with screen off... Phone almost burning my damn hand. UV across all frequencies by -175 I'm sure is keeping my n4 from being a stove.

Hoping battery life is good, on first cycle after battery stats clear and seems OK. Might get about 4 hours screen time if I'm lucky... hopefully it will get better as it settles down.

Thanks for the great kernel.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] _ice_:
Anyone have any data drop explanations I mean I would understand if we were all flashing "nightly" modems/ radios that a few of us would have data issues, however how is that some people have data drops on certain kernel versions while some don't? And why, how is that a kernel is impacting data connectivity?

I have had data issues on 04,05, and stock modified, 06 so far so good (knock on wood) no drops, but I shall continue to extensively test this.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] droidmeup:

No data drops so far as compare to 6 to which it constantly drop.

not working after a reboot? hmm has that slimport ever sent audio? also, does the hdmi cable you're using support sound? lastly, does the tv or device receiving the signal support receiving sound over hdmi?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CloudTown3:
Definitely get the app. The app works with other kernels too. Well worth it, but like I said, if Faux is cool with it, I can put a link to beta 7.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raycaster3:
I've never seen this kind of behavior before.

7% of my battery use on 12 hours on battery. Not normal.

DARKSIDE
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
That's weird. Fauxclock should be less than 1% for any usage.

I've been using perfmon (a paid application) to test my kernels. I found issues with most benchmarks. They just fail with my kernel most of the time using only 2 cores :p (that's why they have low scores). When doing normal stuff like web browsing, youtube, gaming, all cores will work according to demand of the app. So the intelli_plug is working perfectly for any app or game except for benchmark apps (you can't fool intelli_plug with fake loads ;) ) :victory: :angel: :victory:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raycaster3:
I

All I've done is install it and choose my settings. It's only been installed (the update) the 27min in that screenie. It's messed up for sure. Has eaten thru 15% in this time.

DARKSIDE
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jacklebott:
So that's why StabilityTest often refuses to use more than 2 cores even without eco mode...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MarlinFF:
Not working after a reboot, yeah. Same results each time.

The slimport used to send audio on stock CM kernel when I first got the phone. The HDMi cable should be capable of sound as it... works with my Xbox 360 perfectly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
This is why my kernel is very smooth for normal apps and games but does poorly with these artificial apps like benchmarks and stress tests :p

perfmon is a good app, it allows real time monitoring of CPU load and usage while running another app. I've tested against many games (3D, puzzle, angrybirds etc) and many different apps and intelli_plug is working great with very nice hot plugging of cores and ramp up/downs of frequencies. I wish I known about this app earlier, would have been much easier to tweak with it :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jacklebott:
Annoying thing with Perfmon is that it uses a decent amount of CPU power to fetch its data though. It likes to keep the CPU around 7% usage or more. Normally, the CPU stays around 0-1% usage when idle
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
well, it make sense that by monitoring the cpu, it alters it a bit ;) uncertainty principle applies ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Sucalakafufu:
app still sometimes dies and then stops recognizing the kernel until backing out of it and restarting the app :/ when doing this faux app goes through first time checks again :(

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MasterJam882:
strange thing for me:

app is running under active apps and using 2,5mb RAM. but under battery it doesn't occur - so no battery killer. so far so gd. Annoying is that once in an hour (maybe more or less) the app is reuqesting supersu right though it already has them. The only thing I need the app for is screen/color calibration. Is there a way to set supersu permanently?

Also the newest app version is not starting blazingly fast for me as it is stated. It takes as long as before. very very strange
