I'm on Nexus 4, never CM 10.2 nightly. What kernel should I flash? I'm getting yellow colours on 188. Any older one will work?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BossNexusS:
I read on my rom thread the replacing the sys/lib/liboverlay.so file from the cm10.2 nightly 1001 in your rom will allow you to change to any kernel again.. But don't hold me responsible ;)

I'm just gonna try this now I'll report back.

just replace the sys/lib/liboverlay.so from oct1 nightly on the latest one.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ilyadan:
Very good

I'm coming from matr1x kernel, stopped using it because it doesn't work well with JWR (with patch). So far so good. Undervolted 100mV, topped speed to 1.1G and lower to 164M. Left all other settings as default and the kernel behaves perfectly for now. I only miss the "battery life extender" feature from matr1x.

Thanks. :cowboy:

I have a strange problem.. After some time my led light just stops working.. It happens after I have been on wifi and when I disconnect from wifi I don't get anymore notification led but I still get notifications.. I even went into my light flow app and tried to test for a the app lights and they don't even light up there, nor on the aokp led settings or the stock one.. They just don't turn on.. And nothing fc's or anything so I have no idea what's going on.

Not sure if rom problem or kernel but if anyone can shed light please will be appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ham duden:
I assume that the following "recommended settings" are found under "Governor control" in the FK-app right?

Interactive governor:

dynamic_scaling: true

input_boost_freq: 1026MHz

input_boost_freq_duration: 1500

Interactive gpu governor:

up_threshold: 60

down_threshold: 25

sample_time_ms: 80

Whenever I try to enter "Governor control" in the 'franco.Kernel updater'-app, it FCs. So I can't really do the above settings. Is that a big problem?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ufo900:

Battery life is very good. Getting random reboots, currently on cm 10.2 Oct 1 nightly but it's happened on prior builds too. When it happens, phone freezes up for a minute and then sometimes reboots.

R189 is out
[Nexus 4 Android Development] shay2911:
yesterday I was thinking about change my kernel to a more battery friendly kernel. after 1 month with Neo kernel I flashed yesterday this Kernel and the battery life are amazing:

after 15 hours lost only 25% battery when:

Screen Time:1 Hour

Music: 1 Hour

3G: active the whole time

Wifi : On for 3-4 hours

WhatsApp: 30 Minutes

with a easy calculation the approximately amount for full battery cycle is 4 times stats so:

Total time without charge: 15*4 = 60 Hours !

Screen Time:4 Hours

Music: 4 Hours

3G: active the whole time

Wifi : On for 12-16 hours

WhatsApp: 2 Hours

which is pretty good to my opinion so I'm very satisfied :)

there stats make me believe I can survive 2 days on my nexus without charging :)

Forgive me because its clearly OT. I'm using PSX too, if i update the ROM should i reflash gapps too?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BossNexusS:
For any rom if initially you have to flash gapps.. Every time you must.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nadavar:
This is to enable:

echo 1 > /sys/module/lge_touch_core/parameters/doubletap_to_wake

So I guess to disable is echo 0 or N.

Anyways it shouldn't be enabled by default. What kernel did you move from. If it's from neo or others like it you should dirty flash the rom and then flash the kernel. I had it enabled after just flashing the kernel and I after I reflashed the rom it was disabled

Battery charging time

Hi, as my battery widget reborn says, it takes 5 hrs 15 mins to fully charge my battery. In stock it used to be around 3 hours. Is this normal? Is there a way to decrease the charging time? Do I have to tweak any default values of the kernel? Thanks!

I'm running stock 4.3. Franco is by far the best kernel that I've experienced on stock.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jmudrick:
Not normal. 2:42 minutes for me. Stock charger?

Don't Blame Franco
[Nexus 4 Android Development] benbugohit:
Perhaps time to clean battery stats and perform 2 - 3 full cycles charge
[Nexus 4 Android Development] aghilvr:
Yes, stock charger. In stock full charge was done in 3 hrs. Right after changing the kernel I'm experiencing 5 hours. That's why I seek advice.

Also I have a US Nexus 4 and i'm using it in India.

K. Was hoping I could try it on your kernel. See if it increases the responsiveness without battery taking much of a hit.

Hotplugging cores needs extra battery if it happens too often.

First impression: The frequencies are too low for games. I will optimize it soon, but it would be nice if you post your own custom interactive settings (the new version).

Anyone on here using pacrom ? It seems on latest nightly 10/14 this kernel no longer boots the device.. Get stuck in a boot loop. A few others in the thread have experienced this issue also, happens when dirty flashing and clean install.. Possibly could be a Franco kernel issue itself (original)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] b1337:
PAC is cm based.....
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jmudrick:
It's not a kernel issue. Franco is committed to keeping his kernel compatible with stock, which it continues to be, as well as working fine with JWR based custom ROMs (like Cataclysm which I use). If CM or other developers are going to do weird **** requiring kernel developers to modify their kernels, don't expect the kernel developers to happily wag their tails and jeopardize compatibility with stock. I respect Franco's position on this and am growing tired of the whining from the CM crowd. Switch to a non-CAF JWR based ROM for rock solid stability.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jjs0891:
when i flashed r188 or r191 i was booted with some weird graphical issue. Then all my colors were messed up. Reds became blues and oranges. Blues became yellows. wtf?..

r191 eats battery?

Hello to all members,

After flashing r191 I noticed that my battery holds only 1/2 time then r188. I thought that It's just a glitch, so I ran 3 full cycles, all ending 1/2 time. I noticed that CPU is in lowest state most of the time, and only about 1/4 - 1/3 at deep sleep. Just to verify I flashed r188 over r191 and the battery drain stopped immediately, while deep sleep now about 75% and rising. Same settings for both kernel versions. I use latest stock JWR ROM with JWR kernel. Wakelock detector doesn't see any noticeable wakelocks at both kernels.

What is wrong with my phone? Any idea will be appreciated :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
I would ask something similar.

Did anyone notice any improvement with 191 in battery life in comparison to 188?

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sysak:
Does anybody have any idea why i lose all my FKU settings whenever i reboot my phone and how to fix it?

Everything was fine and dandy after installing franco kernel R172 + fku a while ago and a few dirty flashes of the kernel updates, but then with the R188 i've decided to do everything by the book, so I've wiped system (but not data), reflashed rom and flashed the kernel on the clean system. after this i reset the FKU settings and reinstalled the app. And thats when the issue started.

Since then nothing i try helps. Now i've removed FKU, dirty flashed nightly version of paranoid android, flashed the R191 kernel and installed the franco kernel updater again, and was hopeful this will solve the issue, and after the first restart the settings stuck, but with the next one they were gone again.

Since it seems like the problem goes deeper, than reflashing things, reseting app settings and reinstalling it, does anybody have a faintest idea about what could possibly help here? I'd be very happy to finally be able to have my FKU working properly again. Cheers!: :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] santeana:
Does it for me too. I've never gotten a straight answer. Just ridicule and told to use an init.d script.
