Re: [Kernel] (version 005) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Optimized) [Jan-19]

Hey Faux is there any camera tweaking you can do on the kernel level? I think harsh was experimenting with newer drivers. Its disappointing how the iPhone has the same sensor as this phone, yet its not as good.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
There are 3 facets of to any "Android Camera".

1. Kernel driver

2. Userspace drivers/libraries (completely proprietary)

3. Camera app (completely proprietary for many vendors).

for Nexus devices, we got 1 and 3 covered, but still has zero chance for number 2. I praise Harsh for being active in pursuing all these things. I have other things occupying my very little available time. If Harsh got any good advancement on #1, I will just cherry-pick it from him. There are only so much we can do on the kernel driver side. Many of the advanced features and hacks are located inside #2 unfortunately.

some of 005b6 features will re-appear in the 006 beta series.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Battery took a hit with 5mainline
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
It shouldn't be anything major. The mainline has the most stable and tested patches.

Many of the battery saving patches went into the mainline from the beta versions. So mainline should have 90% of the features from Betas. I will continue to add more experimental features back into 006 series.

Also it takes about a day to judge battery life. It should get better over time.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Peter1856:
Yes I don't see any difference for the betas, battery life is pretty much on par. I am running mainline now and lost 30% with almost 2h on screen time, over 10h standby... Standby drain is pretty much non exisiting :highfive:

@faux One suggestion for your app, I think it would be nice to include a restore button for the voltage table... I happened to me twice now that I used the slider and somehow messed up on the setting and lost track on what value I actually undervolted... And once you hit the 800mV limit and you add a couple of mV you will never get to the original step width again (especially problematic if you undervolted more than you actually wanted ;)) A restore to default button would be the easiest (user friendly) way and really helpful. Maybe you can consider something like that for a future update.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
Yeah, I have to create a "snapshot" of what the ORIGINAL voltage looks like. Since we have many variants from "slow" to "faster", each has its own table. My app is NOT aware of any of these variants, it simply works off the delta voltages.

The best solution is to turn off "set on boot", reboot then readjust the NEW delta voltage again.

Re: [Kernel] (version 005) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Optimized) [Jan-19]

Hi faux,

I bought your app and configured it for best battery life using the values mentioned in the first page. I hope those are still the values recommended for the latest stable version? ( because the default values were drastically different from the recommended values)

Anyway, I am seeing that the gpu clock seems to be almost stuck at the maximum speed and rarely changing to 128mhz. Any idea how to fix this? I feel it is causing battery drain, not sure though.

Please find below the screen shot:

https://www.box.com/shared/g1ir3u7ubi0w4p0n2j5e

Also a suggestion for the app, can you please look into adding screen profiles, so that it'll be easy to switch between carefully adjusted screen settings.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
You can force 128 in the meantime, GPU scaling appears to be more sensitive than cpu's. 128 or 200 will perform just as good for the most part(if you disable GPU vsync) you will notice a slight speed boost.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Hrithan2020:
Re: [Kernel] (version 005) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Optimized) [Jan-19]

Do you know any app to monitor gpu?

What exactly does the gpu vsync do? Is it the vsync which came as a part of project butter ?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
I don't know of any gpu monitoring apps, and the Vsync toggle is for PJ Butter's vysnc or the kernel's vsync behavior. Either way I prefer no vsync(haven't seen screen tearing yet). And when Vsync is off it's possible to exceed 60fps for a given frame.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DynamicRam:
There is no point of exceeding 60fps as the LCD is not capable of showing more than 60fps
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
I know the refresh is limited to 60hz but vsync must come at a performance cost, which is why I don't want it on.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] floepie:
Coming from Franco, I see it's advised to flash the "kernel reset" kernel. I see this is also the same size as the stock kernel, but just a few bits off. It's stated that the Franco kernel uses a non-standard ramdisk. So, does that mean that this kernel does use a standard ramdisk?

By standard, does it mean that one uses Google's source whereas the other doesn't?

Because "fastboot erase cache" doesn't work properly on the N4, it is not possible to replicate the function of the "reset kernel" by wiping cache from recovery? I guess I just don't understand the point of a "reset kernel". I'm just curious what this does and why it's needed, so if someone could point me to a good read somewhere or could shed a little light, that would be great. Thanks!

Re: [Kernel] (version 005) Mako (UV Control/CPU/GPU OC/Optimized) [Jan-19]

I have a suggestion regarding the faux app;

Default background of the app is black. Default text is "default".

Now if you have a light theme, all you see is black text on a black background.

It would be readable if it was both default or both overriden to black and white.

General question: If one flashes back to stock kernel, do the items that were once flashed to /system by the ZIP get overwritten by the boot/kernel at startup by the stock kernel/boot to restore the /system partition entirely back to stock?

I don't understand what people are doing with them phones to get these huge battery perfs.

I have flashed the franko kernel, I unplugged my phone at 95% last night after 6 hours I wake up and the battery was 68%, I listened perhaps 1 hours of streaming music, perhaps 20 minutes of chrome, downloaded 1 or 2 apps, and after 11 hours i was under 14%.

My screen is in auto I have push for Exchange, Gmail, Outlook accounts. I have automateit running default rules plus one or two custom/downloaded rules, Google now is deactivated.

What did I do wrong ? Or am I an intensive user ? I don't think so...

I really want to get good battery perfs without decreasing performance, perhaps there are some parameters to deactivate, that I don't know?

I will test faux123 kernelm I'm waiting for battery to get charged 100% to test it.

Edit: Forgot to say i'm on stock 4.2.1, and all the night wifi was off.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Higadeb:
Streaming music is big drain. You're using a constantly streaming data and working the android media service at the same time. You'll also have quite a few background processes running with all those email accounts etc. So yes, I would say you're quite a heavy user. That doesn't mean you can save battery though. Have a look at what background processes you have and what's causing wakelocks etc. to see where your power is going. Also, if you don't game or push the phone to it's max, have a look at toning down the CPU & changing governors. Running the conservative governor with the settings deezid mentioned a few pages/posts back may be worth a try.

* "Snake Charmer" off

* Min/Max Clock on stock values (1,512ghz/384mhz)

For me Beta5 02 has been the best performer.

In the first charge cycle I was seeing high Android OS usage in battery, but after the next cycle that went away and I have absolutely amazing battery life. I tried 05m but went back to Beta5 02.

To be honest I haven't bothered trying any other kernel (the new Beta6 series for instance) because I just don't see how my phone could be any better. I am rock stable at -250 UV settings, my phone runs cool even under heavy use (unlike stock/Franco where it turned into a stove), and I easily get 4.5-5 hours screen time.
