I was testing battery life today.

Purity ROM + the latest Semaphore kernel with Ondemand, cubic and noop.

Two accounts, all syncs active in G acc settings, Zooper Widget weather too. It was my usual Sunday phone usage (Google+, Hangouts, YouTube, Chrome, Tapatalk, Gallery editing....) plus 25 minutes of Ingress.

Guys its been a while, I've been on stock locked for sometime but back on the root machine lol. sorry for having to ask but would you know which is latest kernel build and type for this ROM ? As its none of the 2 I know about ( Jw / Js ) when did this new JLS kernel come around !! Semaphore is my desired kernel.

TIA

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Jss kernels will work on jls rom. There were no kernel changes. Using semaphore, that's the one with a "j" at the end.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Slymobi:
Cheers.

Mmmm never used a j kernel as all ROMs I've been on in the past were jw !!! might have to re-think my ROM lol. ( AOKP ) by the way.

Any known issues with JS setups ?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] da900:
Does this kernel have a simple GPU governor? It is shown in trickster app, but when I try to set it - it reverts to ondemand.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stratosk:
No. Only stock.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] combatdeity:
Been a fan of yours since the i9000 days stratosk, kept that phone chugging along.

Would you ever consider adding volume boost for the 3.5mm jack?

[MENTION=3750240]stratosk[/MENTION] hey mate, MultiROM for N4 has been officially released by [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION], and he is asking kernel devs to merge the mako version of his kexec-hardboot patch: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46223952, would you support it?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Tipkaros:
I actually wanted to make the same suggestion as he did as I feel it would be a great addition. To make things more simple you could just set it to work with any notification that makes the LED blink.

Hello..I want to ask for undervolt..I had franco before and have set on boot -100uv,i flash this kernel and cant do undervolt with trickster..i turned off boost voltage..Now how can i see my voltage??

Search is temporary anavailable so excuse me if it writen before..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Sukhi:
You can't see Voltage table in Trickster. You'll have to use semaphore manager. You can UV though with trickster.

Another thing,why touch control dont work on latest kernel??
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
Touch control works fine in the latest version 1.7.1
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] andrewk2x:
I load semaphore 1.5.8 and i have error : null

Please report touch control issues in the respective thread.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] benbugohit:
Your kernel version is old: you've been suggested to flash semaphore 1.7.1 ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
I just dont get it..Why are you selecting 1.5.8 when there is a module for 1.7.1 in the list :eek:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stratosk:
Thanks.

I really don't know.

I am always very skeptical to add new features. :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] andrewk2x:

Hi [MENTION=3750240]stratosk[/MENTION] , I just deselect linear mode so for use exponential and min value to 65 but the brightness setting is not set back saved value after reboot.. Can you please check this? It looks min value is 65 in application after reboot but recognized value is 2..

EDIT : I could not get used to exponential in low light (at office.) How did you see anything at 50? I saw just darkness :) I was defined min value. ~70. Are you sure about it saves some battery? Also it looks cannot adjust the brightness quickly at light changes..

Thanks in advance,

Ibrahim
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stratosk:
I cannot reproduce this.

min_br is restored after reboot.

You may check it using terminal emulator:

cat /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0038/lm3530_min_br

The brightness will be adjusted in min-max range in next brightness level update.

Yes, lower backlight = less battery because you decrease the LED's operation current.

I switch off automatic brightness before changing the exponential settings in Semaphore Manager. Then I currently use 75/114. With these values I'm able to see outdoors, 50 was quite to low for that purpose.

I didn't even think about installing back an older version... Thanks for the clue! Disabling Touchwake works again during call!!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nil253259:
What is the best easy to use exponential brightness? If i am not using auto brightness, what is it's benefit over linear? If i am not wrong.. One possibility is that you can have really low brightness level which can be handy at certain scenarios.. And it ramps up luminous level more with same amount of slider slide compared to what linear does.. Because now brightness is an exponential function of slider movement.. But probably i am missing some point.. How people here are utilizing it? With autobrightness?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
Hi all, i'm pretty new to this thread, tried to search (they really have to do something about that, on the phone is painful!), but did you guys have discussed before about adding faux sound mod in the kernel?

I got 0 results and i think it's strange that nobody asks before... ^^

2) If you like the exponential modification of brightness.

I read at night a lot and the new lower levels are fantastic, but I also used to keep my nexus 4 at min brightness for all indoor use, and it was plenty bright. Now with a tasker autobrightness profile tuned to my tastes, most indoor is a little lower than the old minimum, and I am seeing battery savings. It wasn't a feature when I first got here, but it's my new favorite.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schmitzekater:
I use it mainly to dim the screen real dark. The lowest linear brightness is too much for me at night.

I set minimum to 80 and Max is 114. With llama I use 80% brightness through the day and10% at night.

But I'm still fiddling to find my sweet spot.

Best would be to adapt the minimum brightness level different depending on the time of day and use auto-brightness. Maybe an idea to update the semaphore manager. :)

Same here, but mine shows up purple. Doesn't really bother me though. Have you tried disabling the led settings in the Semaphore app?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
I like faux hacks not for amplification, but lowering volume (i got very sensitive headphones and i don't want to burn my ears), and for hardware sound compression (tunable in trickster app only)..

I know and i really the fact that you don't want to change your kernel to a collection of supermagicincredible tweaks, but i think that one has a really good benefice/cost ratio.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alen1901:
Stop using carbon and flash some stable ROM without army of bugs. Purity FTW!

Never had this problem with purity ROM and any semaphore kernel. So.. User or ROM fault.

Yes I installed latest nightly and then semaphore

Edit: I didn't reboot my phone before flashing semaphore
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stratosk:
OK, I thought that maybe this was due to a not clean flash.

WiFi works just fine in stock ROM.

Please send a kmsg and a logcat if you have again the issue.

I'm getting a lot of random hot reboots with Semaphore 1.7.1 on PSX 7.2 :crying:, like uo to 10 an day.

Cant reproduce it, but it happends when screen is on, and also when it is inside my pocked.

Best way to help for me? What log you need?

I use higher touchload and touchtreshold 8. Set my colors with trickster mod, the touchload with semaphore. everything else stock settings

Undervolting does not affect the random reboots, they are also there with stock voltage.

Did a clean flash of PSX, gapps, then semaphore
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stratosk:
Please send last_kmsg and kmsg right after the reboot.

This cause some confusion with light flow.

Never knew to disable this on Semaphore App. Since i didn't notice this on previous versions.

It's the same. Please do this after reboot:

I don't think so, but it was coincidence that "i have" led settings on Semaphore app, didnt pay attention before lol. Try to disable the led related to thermal settings (red one).

You dmesg show that the kernel is up and running for ~31 hours.

You have soft reboots. The kernel does not panic.

You may try to disable touchcontrol. Otherwise is something specific to you ROM.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ihancioglu:
Hi [MENTION=3750240]stratosk[/MENTION],

If I configure min brightness value to ~70, it remains same brightness level from %0 to ~%50(at manual brightness slider). So little light changes(from darkness to dim light room) Automatic brightness module of ROM changes nothing. Sure it changes around %30-40 but we don't see any changes because under the limit. I think you should implement your auto brightness module as you did for i9000.

Thanks,

Ibrahim
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] KingBeike:
Is there a way to See, if touchcontrol causes the issue With a log or something ? Because i dont want to miss the feature !
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stratosk:
In kernel auto brightness driver is not possible, because there are no in kernel drivers for sensors (light, proximity).

No, I can't see something specific. I suggested to try without touchcontrol because some users had issues with this app.

transfer file via usb cable problem

I dont if this is a kernel issue or a ROM issue. But before when i'm using stock kernel of PA i can transfer files smoothly on my laptop (by the way I use this laptops for all my nexus stuff. Got good drive and all stuff needed). And know after running semaphore for more than a week this is my first time to hook it using usb cable. Usually i used airdroid to transfer file. Now i got issues while transferring files. Help pls.

By the way i noticed that it re connect the phone if im transferring files. other than that it still connected if i do nothing.

just an update after few thinkering. I tried restarting the phone and re copy files again and again but still no luck.

What I did is flash the 1.7.1 version since i am running 1.6.5. But Luckily I got it all figured out. Sometimes the answer is just infront of us. Just try to figure things first before complaining. (lesson of the day) ahaha.

After trying trinity for some days, which is praised by its users for performance and battery..I have to say Semaphore is unbeaten in smoothness, battery life and stability. Plus unqiue features (SAI working fine) and free kernel app. I should be punished for trying something else :D

The red led for whatsapp messages when touchwake is enabled is the only issue I have atm. But that's no reason to leave :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
Nothing beats Semphore in smoothness.I try other kernels but always keep coming back to Semaphore :good:

1.8.1. Tried the 1.8.1 donate version but still the same on semaphore 1.7.1. Can you share 1.8.3 of TC?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] manpildo:
No I can't, it would be against the rules. If you have 1.8.1 donate then why don't you simply update to 1.8.3? I reckon you must have at least 1.8.2, because the change log says this

== Version 1.8.2

* added options to use new server - more devices will be added in near future

* UPDATE IF YOU WANT TO GET NEW MODULES!

Also try erasing app data and rebooting, I've seen it suggested somewhere before.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
You have to update the app if wasn't new modules

In first post, you've said "Zip files in download section are for flashing from CWM recovery". So, there is no Zip file that I could flash it via TWRP recovery? I have TWRP and don't wanna change it to CWM.

I've never used TWRP so I didn't test it there, but AFAIK it's compatible with CWM zip files.

Hi,

I've been using 1.6.5j on CM10.2 for a little while and its been great. I decided to flash a recent nightly (10/06) the other day, and screen colors were completely messed up -- all rainbow or inverted. Sometimes only half the screen is visible. I found at reboot, the google logo is fine, but once the cm boot animation starts, the screen turns a certain shade of blue that just looks unhealthy for the screen to display. I just tried 1.7.1j and same results. The nightly is visually fine without the kernel.

Is this a common issue or could I have mucked something up?

Thanks.

It's a known problem from cyanogen's part, they screwed something up so now no custom kernels (afaik) are compatible with it.
