OK, so I've switched to this kernel from Faux's mainline and will see how it goes. A few quick questions:

- where are the GPU controls in TricksterMod? I'm seeing the GPU frequency, but not the other settings that were there for Faux's kernel.

- I'm noticing that Core 0 and Core 3 seem to be on all the time, while 1 and 2 go offline, whereas before 1, 2 and 3 would go offline. This is with both intellidemand and ondemand.

- any recommended settings for Governor Control, Multicore Power Saving, or Battery Life Extender?

- what are the default voltages? I'd like to check that I'm not carrying over any settings from the previous kernel.

- suggestions for screen settings?

Apologies if any of this is already in the thread; I'm reading through but have a ways to go yet.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] spupuz:
if we want to move to another kernel can we use deprimator.zip?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ak:
I dont know this zip.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ak:
- where are the GPU controls in TricksterMod? I'm seeing the GPU frequency, but not the other settings that were there for Faux's kernel.

-> you have to switch from conservative to trust from command line

echo "trustzone" > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/pwrscale/policy

- I'm noticing that Core 0 and Core 3 seem to be on all the time, while 1 and 2 go offline, whereas before 1, 2 and 3 would go offline. This is with both intellidemand and ondemand.

-> 2 core always online - set min=1

- any recommended settings for Governor Control, Multicore Power Saving, or Battery Life Extender?

-> no

- what are the default voltages? I'd like to check that I'm not carrying over any settings from the previous kernel.

-> default with boost disabled

- suggestions for screen settings?

-> no

Apologies if any of this is already in the thread; I'm reading through but have a ways to go yet.

Thought I throw it out here. I tried the v056 jwr version on linaro Paranoid Android rom and it's working. Haven't had any hickups. Good to be on AK kernel.

I've used it on stock 4.4, illusion 4.4.1 and now dirty unicorns (omni) 4.4.2 without any issues.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ak:
No, but i dont never see this problem.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ak:
DONT USE SET ON BOOT FOR 2w.

I answered this question 20000000 times
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] wcn:
Some of us were having the same issue. When using other kernels that has TC module, the problem does not occur. Hope [MENTION=2538253]bponury[/MENTION] - Touch Control developer would support AK in the near future.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Giocarro:
OK, now I got it.

But then, I have to enter Trickster mod and do something each time I reboot, right?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mohitgalaxy3:
Yes you have to enable it, every time you reboot.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] eurochild:
You can automate it using tasker, this is what i did..

** echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake

*** Action details:

1. Task > Wait > 25 seconds

2. Script > Run Shell > echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake (use root)

3. Alert > Flash (optional)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Giocarro:
OK then, I guess for me is easier to reboot manually once a day and just wait a minute to unlock the device instead of keeping set on boot disabled and going each time to Trickster app to enable the s2w feature.

Thanks a lot for clearing all out, little glitches are to be expected and I'm still very happy with this kernel!

Edit: oooh, thanks [MENTION=534975]eurochild[/MENTION] for your solution, that's a lot better!!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
I tried in factory image... No such issue in that...then i took its backup and flashed cataclysm rom...flashed kernel and then rebooted my phone...phone froze..rebooted again and still same issue.then i restored my factory image backup...did a reboot...no problems..screen was not freezing even with s2w set at boot...then i flashed purity and found same freezing problem in it...all this flashing i did just as an experiment to pinpoint the root cause of this problem...i flashed ak,bricked,faux,hellscore...no freezing problem.. don't want to talk about other kernels here but just wanted to clear this thing
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Giocarro:
[MENTION=4770534]snak3ater[/MENTION] that's fine, AK answered on the previous page: the issue occurs if Trickster mod is configured to set kernel on boot.

Anyway we found a way to solve the issue with Tasker, so world can live in peace now. ;)

Edit: unfortunately for me the Tasker solution causes the same issue as Trickster app.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] johnb380:
Why don't u guys just unlock the screen and wait for set on boot to complete and everything is fine! I don't understand why u guys r still complaining use the feature correctly or Don't use it at all! It isn't Aks fault for user error!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Giocarro:
Nobody is blaming AK, not at all!

We are just trying to find a solution to what seems to be a common situation that could be changed for a better users experience.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
Off course no one is blaming Ak...i have set to boot Option turned off.. no problem for me...one should never blame devs
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gorilla p:
Thanks man. That is actually very useful. A lot of people have been having troubles with s2w enabled with set on boot. It has been suggested that people disable set on boot but nobody wants to have to enable it each time they reboot their phone. Now we can point them to this solution until it is resolved.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Sucalakafufu:
so i actually finally experienced a random reboot. when i woke up this morning i saw that my phone had rebooted sometime during the night

last_kmesg: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lifeiaz1al5ag9r/1387280210426.txt

not sure what caused it. seems the unit got sent the reboot command

On ver. 242 trickster Mod cpu Speed is can not set min384. it always 918000.

Screen Settings is not work. it always google Setup.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tvisforme:
IIRC it is the other way round - Fsync on is supposedly faster, but riskier if there is a reboot while the screen is on.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] creepinm3:
This was explained countless times. Go to the MP-decision menu (if you're using trickster) go to boost freq CPU 0 and change it to 384.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] themike10452:
fsync off* is supposedly faster and riskier. I keep it on at all times, I can't risk loosing my data in case of a crash :P

Sent using my nexus⁴ running Purity ROM 4.4.2 (Dalvik) powered by matr1x v12 Linux 3.4.0 kernel.

????????
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tvisforme:
Yes, but with this kernel Trickstermod asks if you want to toggle *dynamic* fsync. It isn't disabling fsync, but it does make fsync asynchronous when the screen is on and synchronous when the screen is off. From what I understand, if you are concerned about potential data loss you are better off disabling dynamic fsync and thus keeping fsync synchronous at all times.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Starsream88:
Amazing, great performances and battery. I love the new elementalx governor !! Thank you @ak
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dioadi:
love the new elementalX governor !

very great on battery life,

for performance, maybe not as smooth as interactive/ondemand,

but we can do some trick with reducing sampling rate.

overall, very good !

keep up the good work AK !
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gorilla p:
Im liking elementalx as well.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Giocarro:
Ah, this is interesting: so elementalX is built to enhance battery life more than smoothness?

Then I guess I'll be sticking with ondemand governor, because for me is enough to have a complete day of power and then charge during the night.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] musa47:
Which ROM?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Starsream88:
Slimkat latest beta
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kirpman:

i'm also testing that combo...feels nice until now...will report battery life later...thanks for the kernel AK. Nice job!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Targaeryan:
Its not just kernel. Its how you use the phone. What apps, what settings, syncing, wifi, data, mobile network signal etc etc. So a lot of things influence battery life.. ;) :p great results btw. :angel:

do i need to turn on freq lock and lower minimum cpu clock to 384000 ?

it seen to be default to 918000.

or just update it via mp decision and change cpu0 boost to 384000 ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] RealSlimShadyMC:
Guys, nobody gives two shíts about your SOT, as it varies on usage. Turn off auto dimming, and leave the phone for a full day with the screen on. There you have your 6h+ SOT. Some people have different needs. I kill my battery with Bluetooth headset, and get maybe an hour of SOT with Facebook and XDA as well.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Targaeryan:
I don't see the point of changing it as mpdecision hotplugs and controls frequency accordingly. If you don't touch the screen, the freq goes to 384. If you change boost to 384, the smoothness won't be there.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kakabobo:
what the default setting for boost_freq_cpu0 ?

Without the rest of the stats that SoT is worthless. I could leave my phone doing nothing with the screen on and it will last 6 hours easily.

Not saying this is the case here, but you need a lot more info then just the SoT to determine if they actually got good battery life.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ak:
What are your suggestions for testing battery life for kernel/rom combo?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arju:
Well all I was doing was asking for the settings. I have my own tweaks which I prefer to use and love to gain knowledge from others to learn more. So no harm in asking or sharing.

Thank you [MENTION=3685904]ak[/MENTION] for the latest kernel. I find the new governor to be on par with intellidemand which I'm a fan of. I might have a new favorite. I'm mostly using my phone for social media, web browsing and listening to music so that's why I care about battery life. I do usually get 1day and 12hours with 3h 30min SOT. So getting the extra juice is always appreciated when I learn and test new settings from others.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gorilla p:
Yeah, setting boost to 384 is pointless. This is more effectively done by disabling boost in mpdecision settings via trickster. Also set minimum freq to 384k. You'll likely wanna set minimum CPU cores to 1 as well.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Targaeryan:
Did you use trickstermod? Please make sure that ak kennel is installed also.

I'm trying out this ROM. It worked with your cm11 kernel. The KO kernel had the color issue but cm11 kernel works :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arju:
Have you flashed AK kernel? if you have you can download Trickster mod from Playstore to change and tweak kernel settings. xposed framework and gravitybox has nothing to do with kernel settings.

edit: Targaeryan beat me to the answer.

Hi

First of all give you thanks for the amazing work you do. I have been using AK132KK for a lot of time, and now I decided to update and just install AK251KO

I see it comes with mp-decision activate, but I have never used it and I want to deactivate it.

I used trickster mod and I went to the specific tab-->mp-decision tab and turned off both "enable" and "boost enabled" also

Is that ok to deactivate the mp-decision or I have to do anything more or any other things? ty in advance and sorry for my english

You can set off the "enable" tab under mp-dec .. And reset your min freq

For those having problems with s2w (phone hanging etc.). If I remeber correctly before using trickster mod to enable s2w I was using the app Touch Control app with some other kernel.
