Hello faux123 and thanks for your kernel ! Really !

But, when I tried to set Governor frequency to 300 or 327Mhz. This frequency isn't backuped and return to 487Mhz (OC..)

How i can set my frequency to 300 or 327 Mhz for all the time ?

Thanks :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
valid frequencies on my custom kernels are: 128, 200, 400, 487. Rest are not valid for Nexus 4.

Direct volume control in poweramp and FS i mean Fauxsound. Sorry

Not sure if its just me or if Faux sound was designed this way, but i dont notice any

difference in the settings. I tested them through earbuds and my car stereo through aux.

I also notice that there was loss of bass with the 009m kernel, so i revereted to 007m-2

kernel to test and to me it sounds way better.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
yes.,.. I misread your original post. IT IS NORMAL for it to request for SU permissions during startup.. (that's where all the permissions are set at once for the various controls used by FauxClock)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
Loss of bass is due to Google Music's EQ.. :p Don't use Google Music's EQ... It's worse on than off...

Make sure you turn off all music/sound while changing the settings.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
I don't know what "direct volume control" does from PowerAmp... Most music apps have no choice but to use Android's AudioFlinger interface... Not sure if PowerAmp can bypass that or not... Also my mod is very low level at the chip level, not sure why it would be affected by userspace or apps...

Can you dump the values from /sys/kernel/sound_control/gpl_headphone_gain values for me next time you "experienced" low volume issues...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] lookitzjohnny:
i use poweramp =/ with flat equalizer and i've exited poweramp before changing the presets..

Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

Just checked it. These values are still the same. I installed GMusic and no problem. It's probably something wrong with poweramp.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mayaku:
Total noob here :

I'm going to get my Nexus 4 very soon. Do I need to use this kernel to use FauxClock ? Can I use the app FayxClock on the stock kernel of the Nexus 4 ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
The average battery time is subject to many various factors. I think a more comparison would be the battery life on Faux, compared to that of stock kernel. Posting battery life alone won't help you understand much.

I usually get around 3 hours of screen on time over an 18 hour day. But I blame poor reception for most of my battery drain.

Same here, I got more by turning eco mode off :eek:

With eco mode on just over 4 hours

With eco mode off closer to 5 hours

All cores at 1.35
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] lookitzjohnny:
hmmm, that is something i gotta try. maybe because with 4 cores it gets tasks done faster.

Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

Some features will work without faux kennel, but to fully use all the features in fauxclock, you need faux kernel or a kernel with faux's interface.

Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

Update to 009. That version has FauxSound support. No earlier ones do.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MrMagic:
Question regarding FauxSpeaker/FauxSound: I've noticed that when the speaker needs to "wake up" to play a sound the volume starts low and increases slowly. Is that normal behavior?

Sometimes I seem to miss a notification sound because of this, since the volume is too low at first.

Is there a setting in one of the sound apps that I can change to prevent this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Locksmith81:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

So you're saying using a kernel that doesn't have his latest sound mod will not have the latest sound mod?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
yes, this is normal... the amplifier needs some "sound" to know what to do next (clean up or boost)... the original speaker driver does not use any of the cool features and just pass the sound straight through without any clean up or boost, and so it's instant...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
yes, unfortunately... the sound hax needs a newer kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Locksmith81:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

I believe that's ROM dependent... A setting called "ascending volume" for incoming calls or notifications
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
download my latest "enhanced" stock or full custom from OP.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tocirahl:
First of all, let me say that my music hasn't sounded this good since my SGS I.

What are the defaults for FauxSound? Also how exactly does the amping work for the speaker?

Does it pass through two different amps in series and FauxSound controls the first while FauxSpeaker controls the second?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
this depends on usage scenarios...

If you have lots of SHORT tasks which requires massive CPU power to complete, then running full quad core will get you to IDLE faster therefore saving battery...

If you have lots of LONG duration but relatively light (CPU wise) tasks then running with eco mode will save you battery...

So you really need to evaluate your usage scenarios... Eco mode is great for like book reading, video watching, music listening... and some lightly loaded games... like RPG/Puzzle games (very little actions, lots of reading)

One little thing... Using FauxSpeaker with Max Loudness I can hear a "buzz" always after some sound finish, this is not occur using Quiet profile...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tocirahl:
Yeah you're probably turned up a little too high for your speaker to handle. Try turning down the AC gain.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
yeah. max loudness sacrifice quality for max volume. You are probably hearing the noise in the original sound file.

If you have FauxSound, you can tone down the SpeakerGain to -10, then max loudness will sound slightly better...

Remember, loudness is a trade off...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Guto ViP:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

I will buy FauxSound but I need pay my Credit Card, maybe tomorrow.. :p

I can hear this "buzz" in all type of sound (ringtone, notification sound and music) when it's ends.

Now I'm using Quiet profile and can't hear the "buzz"... :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
|_WCD93xx_| ----> |_Speaker AMP_| ---> |_Speaker_|

So FauxSound controls the WCD93xx chip, and FauxSpeaker controls the Speaker AMP

With both, I recommend -10 on FauxSound's speaker gain to ensure the audio is as clean as possible, the FauxSpeaker will amplify that signal source to another level... Hope this clarify how things work!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Jrbourque:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

And making faux sound -7 or so wouldn't hurt if we are willing to sacrifice a little quality for loudness right? Or am I not understanding correctly
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
yeah, you can play around with both to get the optimal sweet spot for your own taste

That's what I thought but I purchased the new audio app and it wasn't compatible with my kernel (faux123 m-turbo) didn't know if I missed a update or if it had to be the "enhanced" kernel.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ogrillion:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

Just wanted to voice my opinion here. I love the work you do faux, your kernels are some of the best. However all these apps you are putting out is getting out of hand.

I know your time spent and you appreciate extra income. And I have bought all your apps so far, minus the new sound one. But I am a little bitter you now have two sound apps and I won't be buying your new one.

Maybe in the future an all in one application would be nice. Maybe in app upgrades or something idk.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
While you are entitled to your opinions, it would be better if you understood what the apps are for and why they are separate. They control different things. One is to control the speaker at the hardware level (Nexus 4 specific). The other controls the qualcomm chip and gives you control over other aspects (works for a few devices), which is why they are separate apps.

I know I may not have explained it well, but you should read some of Faux's post and explanations for a better understanding of why he did things the way he did.

Also, not everyone would want/need every app and would appreciate paying a lower price for the individual features they want/need. Faux can't possibly cater to everyone but this would be the most logical choice.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ogrillion:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

Well that makes a little more sense. I forget he does multiple devices. I guess I just get sick of seeing toast notifications from all these different faux apps. Sure I can disable Su notifications but still.

It's not so much the money, I look at it as a donation for his time. But at the same time I feel like I am being nickel and dimed for every little thing (how it appears to someone with little knowledge about the actual time and effort faux puts into these apps)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] KerryWood34:
big_b0sss, I noticed you are running Deep Sleep Battery Saver. I have the Pro version and was wondering if you are using any specific settings or just one of the presets. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mkamal23:
Just wanted to say... proud owner of Faux123 Kernel Enhancement App. Wanted to support the dev. Also bought the display app couple weeks ago. Thanks for all your work and time.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
in-app purchases are NOT REFUNDABLE... blame Google for this poor implementation... If you wanted an extra feature from me but somehow you don't like it, YOU WILL HAVE NO REFUND at all.. it would be a total LOSS for you and I would feel bad to rip you off..

Also, I made them separate to GIVE MORE CHOICES to users. If someone ONLY wants display, or sound or speaker, they can get them stand alone instead of paying FULL PRICE for only 1 feature.... (I got LOTS of complaints from people who purchased my FauxClock because they ONLY wanted to the Gamma/Color and NOTHING ELSE!). Again, I feel bad ripping them off $5 for 1 feature out of 30...

I will most likely do small apps from this point forward charging very reasonable pricing. So users can pick a-la-carte style...

Think of Cable TV... they FORCE you to buy a package because you ONLY wanted certain channels... How you wish you can just pick and choose the channels you want and pay only what you watching...

I will eventually release a "F'apps" launcher (and will BE FREE) that will have 1 single launcher to work with all of my small apps....:angel:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ogrillion:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

Ok didn't know that about in app purchase that is pretty crappy on Google end.

Thanks for the reply and all you do for the nexus 4 and community.

Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

That's nice to have an a-la-carte style offering, but if you look through this thread you can see most users are buying most (if not all) the apps you've created. I have to admit that I am one of those people who'd rather buy one app with features I may not use compared to several apps with only one.

I bought the kernel app specifically for color control then you released a display app which I also purchased and now makes the kernel app useless to me. I've also bought the sound app you've just released. I feel compelled to buy the apps because you put out teasers and show how great they are.

I appreciate your work, don't get me wrong. It just seems like every time there's an innovation there's a price to pay. There's a certain developer I bought an app from two years ago and features still get added at no extra charge. I'd much rather buy one app for $10 than a bunch of different ones. Just my .02.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
I struggle over this as well... Imagine in my shoes... Damn if I do, damn if i don't.. So I picked IMHO lesser of two evils. If you want a refund for FauxClock, shoot me an email with your order number and I will refund you.

I know that it appears that I NICKEL and DIME my users, but that's NOT my intention at all.. I will continue to add features to FauxClock for free and update with new capabilities... (Also I've been updating FauxClock silently to squash FCs as much as I can) I haven't stopped working on FauxClock yet... There are still many more kernel specific tweaks I like to add to FauxClock... Remember, I am only a TEAM OF ONE... I can only do so much per day.. I have a full time job + family obligations... At times I wish a day was 48 hours... instead of 24...

Trust me I DO READ all of CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms and I DON'T take OFFENSE in any of these opinions expressed here.. I am just explaining my LOGIC and thinking with you all openly. Don't think I am singling anyone out or trying to put someone down here.. I am simply trying to show you guys my position as a developer and the difficult choices I have to make to move forward...

Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

I do understand where you're coming from. To me however, it doesn't make much sense that someone would complain about having an app with the one or two features they desire and the option of others they don't. Its really just as simple as not using the ones they don't care for.

Like I've said, I appreciate your work and don't feel like I'm being ripped off. I'd just like a cleaner approach. I personally don't like having to open up several different apps to accomplish different tasks for the same kernel. I understand you're a 1 man team and you're doing an excellent job.

I'm not a developer, but it seems like it'd be less work to code everything into one app. I'm not trying to criticize what you're doing. I'm just offering my opinion as well. It may be the ocd in me that just cringes when I look at the 3 faux apps together in my app drawer. I'm grateful for what you have given us. You've led the way in innovation for the N⁴ and I couldn't be happier.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Girn:
Re: [Kernel] (version 009) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) [Mar-09]

He can't code it all into one app now. It's too late for that now for the hundreds of ppl that have bought the other apps already. The only way that would have worked is if he did it from the beginning. And some people don't want all the features so they get to choose this way. It just makes more sense. And if you cringe when you see three of his apps in your app drawer you should go back to a flip phone. You won't have to worry about too many apps then

i got bootlooped when i flash the kernel though fastboot, and when i try to just boot from it (instead of flashing) it also bootloops. how do i fix that?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prod1702:
You may need to wipe div cache and cache.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] qwahchees:
My suggestions to be added, if you could:

Screen off profiling, governor and max-clock speed during screen off.

Touch Booster, disable or set to a different value

Yeah :P, those two would be great.

Maybe individual volt controls :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abnormalreply:
Just a cautionary word to everyone

Since this is an overclockable kernel, I imagine many of the folks trying it would want to use Antutu/Quadrant to see how it measures up to the stock, which is what I tried to do, but ended up getting some serious issues. I OC'd to 1.6GHz and tried Antutu (was running AOKP.) The phone crashed and wouldn't boot. I flashed the stock image via fastboot (the bootloader loads, but nothing else) and same problem: not booting. It's not turning on at all without the charger plugged in, and when it does, it loops after the Google logo. (The battery isn't dead.) So I'm on the phone with Google and they're sending me another.

So, it may just be that I've got a defective device (but I've seen a few other people describe the same problem.) This is a testing/beta kernel and of course I use it at my own risk, but I just wanted to give a heads up to folks using it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
You can revive it by:

when it bootlooped, press vol up+down at the same time, it will bring you to bootloader mode, then select recovery, then from within recovery select reboot, then it should be fine. Nexus 4 is almost unbrickable :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abnormalreply:
Like I mentioned, I can get into the bootloader, but nothing else. When I select recovery, the phone actually has to reboot into recovery--which doesn't happen. It loops at any 'automated' boot even if I select reboot bootloader, it loops. The only way I can actually get into the bootloader, is by manually pressing the vol down + power.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sarni84:
No faux it happened to me too. And it could not be revived with any button combo or IMG flashed in fast boot. All I got was a blinking ted light when connecting USB. I was running same setup exactly as other guy. I oced the kernel went into antutu on aokp. Phone shutoff. Only thing I could get into was a download mode I've never seen before not like Samsung's.... (Made a thread on it) no big deal because you know what you get yourself into 1 doing this so it is okay and I am NOT mad besides you make the best kernels . who knows what it really was it could have been anything but it's definitely happen and there was no reviving it and I am pretty tech savvy

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] BravoMotorola:
I think he already got a replacement unit in his other thread with all of the troll bltchers. And I don't think it was the kernel because this phone will protect itself against heat due to the throttling, and if it's not heat what else from the kernel would cause it? It was simply a defective device. I've had no problems with this kernel and have done plenty with it. After running a few benchmarks you notice the scores will go down considerably because of the throttling too. Not sure what problem what you had. Sounds weird though.
