But you are more than sure keeping location sync and/or a lot of other features off. There is no way in using all the features of the phone and getting more than 13 hrs battery life with 3 or 3,5 hrs screen on time.

I have uv with 137,5 mV, using hotplug with one core minimum, and 80% treshhold. Also underclocked at 1.45 and using location, fb notifications whatsapp, email sync 15min and screen with approx 75% brightness and about 30 min calls per day -12-13 hrs of standby with max 3 hrs sot.

And i dont see the point in buying a smartphone like this, just to use it only for phone calls and sms honestly... It's like calling a call girl over just to masturbate in front of her:))
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] themike10452:
Data syncs are off yes, I hate syncing my contacts with google account. Besides, I prefer having a longer battery life when I'm away from the charger than having GPS on (which I don't really need) and syncing my gmail when I'm not reading my mail.

It's up to the user to choose between functionality or battery life.

I should mention than I'm on wifi / 3G 24/7 and I haven't underclocked, just undervolted.

Hi [MENTION=3750240]stratosk[/MENTION],

I just flash 4.4.2 system.img and boot.img then Semaphore 1.8.5.

I am getting

What could be the problem?

Thanks,

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] PeterFdeVries:
Using a minimal of two cores? Or just one? I thought that using less cores it would use less battery. Otherwise, switching on and off the cores on regular base isn't doing the battery a good job is my idea. What are the pro's thinking?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] themike10452:
I use bundi's iPhone5 preset. It looks different on Semaphore. I will have a look again anyway :P But I'm loving my current kernel and I don't see a reason to switch back to Semaphore. Battery life here is a bit better, but on semaphore the phone is snappier. I'll go with battery over performance.

Sent using my nexus⁴ running Purity ROM 4.4.1 powered by Hells-Core b42-n Linux 3.4.71 kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
Yes..You are right..2 cores min is a better idea.Because if you set a min of 1 cores & start testing your system in idle,you will notice that at some point Only 1 of your Cores would be running.But 2nd core would turn on as soon as you touch the screen.The question is:Why using a min of 1 core if 2nd core goes online instantly when there's some activity.Why not use 2 as min and get rid of this on/off thing...Turning cores on & off has got a negative effect on battery life...But 2 cores min seems to be good for battery..

That's what i think..Let's wait for Stratosk :highfive:

Hi guys.

If I agree, will I have to root and flash TWRP again before flashing Semaphore ?

To be honest.. Never had any lag in these games while using ondemand governor.. Beach buggy blitz is really demanding game.even that game runs silky smooth in ondemand
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stratosk:
Few months ago, I release a version with mpdecision off and all cores online all the time.

The battery was not so bad, so I decided to write a hotplug driver with different logic from mpdecision.

By default min online cores 2, so the system will always be ready for spike loads.

Other cores easily go online with some load. Touch boost logic transferred exclusively to ondemand governor.

For sure when you online/offline a CPU is power expensive operation. Maybe with min online cores value of 1 we would have a little bit more battery, but I prefer performance over battery. Of course, this is parameter is tunable. Everyone is free to try and set it according to his/her needs.

Guys, I want to try Semaphore. I'm currently running Matrix v12 (latest) on Purity 08/12 build.

If I need to flash stock kernel first, could some kind soul link me to the 4.4.1 stock kernel? :angel:

Would appreciate any guidance. :good:

Also, can I use trickster Mod with Semaphore or is Semaphore Manager better ( I mean will SM give more things to tune than Trickster?)
