Disabling the touch boost helped...

But as soon as I enabled it after changing the frequency it tends to jump back again

So is it recommended to keep touch boost disabled..

Will there be any performance degradation?[/QUOTE]

918MHz is the touch boost frequency. Every time you touch the device, it jumps to that frequency for a short time. After that it scales down.

Okay, I have a gut feeling that I'm going to post this and get a reply that will make me face palm, but after 10 minutes of searching I've found nothing, so here goes:

Where do you actually download Hellscore B72 (I'm running stock 5.1 with root and unlocked bootloader)?

I followed the link on the first post: https://github.com/hellsgod/hells-Core-N4/commits/l-mr1 but after clicking around

everywhere

all I have found is just comments about updates etc. but no .zip file links (additionally I noticed a "B73-L" post -- should I be searching for B73 instead of B72?)

Proceeded to scroll through the past 10+ pages of posts on this forum, and still just as clueless.

Searched Gorilla P's Mako Stuff topic, and nada..

What am I doing wrong?? I'm blaming my flu-affected brain and the fact it is 12am here, but I can't be that blind, surely..

I'll stand by and wait for my likely well due face palm. (but please get me out of my misery, I feel like I've gone crazy)

[Nexus 4 General] salxtai:
Thank you kindly.

Just a quick clarification - "L" stands for Lollipop?

I haven't read anything on the past few posts regarding the B73 kernel that's in the folder (off the link you provided). Is that one a beta version, or full release?
[Nexus 4 General] bombadier:
Thats it there are two versions one for CM based roms and one for AOSP, b73 is the latest release

Here is the post
[Nexus 4 General] salxtai:
Aahh, thank you - such a small post by comparison to most on the thread that I missed it (plus wasn't looking for B73 at that moment).

Just one more question, now that I have the kernel up and running.

When I ran hellscore on 4.4 I used the "hellscore kernel" app (I hadn't heard of synapse at that point in time), and it seemed to do okay.

Question is, would I see better battery life due to the greater degree of tweaking that synapse allows compared to the hellscore kernel app?

I was pretty pleased with the improvement in battery life when I ran this kernel originally, but if I can maximise it even more given my nexus 4 only continues getting older, then that's a bonus.

I did love the ability to change the screen colours though - used to use the "PA_halfbreed" colour profile.

I just flashed b73 CM version on the latest Euphoria OS, the System boots but the screen stays black. I wiped cache & dalvik cache but still doesn't work.

I flashed Semaphore kernel and everything works again.

Anyone know why this is the case?
[Nexus 4 General] dcop7:
Euphoria uses the non CM version. You flash the wrong version.
[Nexus 4 General] hellsgod:
b74 for you to test. Because I'm sick of the question "why my min_freq is changing" I've removed the input boost framework from mpdecision and replaced it with francos input boost listener. It doesn't change the min freq, but still boosts the cpu on touch. I've also changed to his conservative governor and adjusted boost freq and duration for my needs (1026mhz for 500ms). hellsactive currently doesn't have a boost logic. I've also added two flags from shamu, so lets see if it smooths out some jitters. Have fun! :)

Big changes! Last time I used Conservative it was so slow, almost unusable... But that was a long time ago. Could you please describe your needs?
[Nexus 4 General] nivrams_brain:
usb debugging enabled by default

Hey,

I was just wondering if usb debugging and dev mode is enabled by default in this kernel. I've broken my screen and can't enable it through the UI. If this kernel doesn't, do you know if any of the other custom kernels do?

Thanks,

~Nivram
[Nexus 4 General] hellsgod:
Its not the stuttery conservative everybody knows from the past ;) If you mean my needs I've spoken of in the changelog, they're already described (input boost freq 1026mhz and 500ms duration). But a little more back story: Most of you know I also own a shamu since a few months. Shamu is shipped with interactive as default governor. I compared interactive with francos conservative and it was like night and day. Where interactive has noticeable stutters, conservative was like a champ in these parts (mostly scrolling).

No kernel enables USB debugging, sorry.

hells
[Nexus 4 General] gorilla p:
Yeah, since 5.0 Conservative has been running much smoother. I believe this is mostly due to ART and the improvements that it has made regarding performance.

In fact, I tried the same settings I used in the BatMax profile on 4.4.4 and it was really slow and laggy. Touchboost helped a bit, but a number of other settings needed to be tweaked as well.

Since 5.0, Conservative with touchboost has been running very smoothly and the battery life it provides is noticeably better than most other governors. Especially, if you have a clean/lean running device (I.e. don't have 20 apps running in the background, 5 social media apps constantly checking in, a gimmicky launcher/theme, etc).

[Nexus 4 General] underskyzx:
I was wondering if the 500ms touchboost you said was towards battery or performance...
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
So far I would say that B74 with conservative is a little bit smoother than B73 with ondemand.
[Nexus 4 General] gorilla p:
That would have to do more with the touch boost.

Touch boost is there to improve performance, directly the ramp-up speed under low loads.

In this case, no matter what you're doing, the second you touch the screen, the CPU ramps up to 1.026GHz, rather than slowly ramping up normally.

This allows the battery saving of Conservative, without lag while using the device.

I set my touchboost even lower, especially on BatMax. I found its pretty smooth, even when at 702-810MHz. 1026MHz is plenty fast to get good performance.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] hellsgod:
Both. We had 918mhz for 1s before. Now we have 1026mhz for 500ms. Lets see how it impacts battery (or not) :)

Just 1 word for this update: SMOOTH!

This kernel only gets better and better, I'm starting to feel guilty for not donating ?
[Nexus 4 General] emboon:
I'm new at this stuff so am really sorry if this is such a newbie question. Couple months ago i rooted my phone unlocked bootloader and installed stock androod 5.0.1 together with hells core kernel. Im wondering if there's any way to upgrade my stock android from 5.0.1 to 5.1 without wiping my userdata. Something similar to the OTA update. If this is possible, could someone please point me to the right direction. It will very much be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] hellsgod:
I'm doing it just for fun, no need to feel guilty :) I'm glad you like it (=

There's a way, yes. Look for a flashable Stock Rom. General section or Android Dev section. Another way would be to flash system.img via fastboot, but this needs basic knowledge.

[Nexus 4 General] _Sparks:
I would just like to take some time to thank hells & the other contributors for this amazing kernel!

I tried other kernels and no kernel has improved my battery life as much as this kernel has.

I simply had to flash this kernel, without applying any tweaks and my SOT increased by 1hr30mins+ !

I honestly can't thank you much, since I can now use my phone more reliably.

This coupled with Euphoria OS has changed my phone for the better.

Thank you bro :)
[Nexus 4 General] Aaron_Knowles:
+1

Been pretty much using HellsDoctor exclusively since I got my n4, I'd occasionally flash AK or Unleashed, but always went back to HD.

Since Barome has taken a break, I found myself on this kernel for 5.1, and feel like I'll be stuck here from now on. It's great on battery life and doesn't compromise performance too much, at least not for my uses. I will miss elementalx, but conservative works just as good, if not better.
[Nexus 4 General] oxxshadow:
I really enjoy the newest update! Never thought that conservative can be this smooth for general tasks!

On a side note, I have been experiencing this issue, and I want to know if others are as well. Sometimes when unlocking the phone, the phone becomes laggy and stutters for about 10 seconds. Not sure what causes this, as all my settings are stock and what shipped with the kernel.

Hello,

I'm using hells-core with default settings, except:

* set cpu governor to conservative (I believe it is default, but in Synapse it showed ondemand as default).

* set minimum cpu frequency to 384 MHz.

* applied -100 uV.

* enabled fauxsound.

* enabled dt2w.

* set wifi scan interval to 300 sec.

* set selinux to permissive.

* disabled google play services wakelocks.

* disabled data connection when on wifi.

This is on latest Euphoria rom. I got these results with the infamous memory leak in effect. So far this is the best result I've got on 5.1 yet.
[Nexus 4 General] russells.android:
Hi there. Hells core have fauxsound 3.5 right? Do you think it just the same as 3.6? Saw you post on another kernel regarding fauxsound + viper that's why i asked this. Sorry for the noobish question. :D
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
I don't hear any quality difference between 3.5 and 3.6 ( though I've never actually compared specifically), and I'm not sure why hC uses an outdated version (probably been already answered here, but I'm not too bothered about it). If anybody is bored over here and wants to answer why fauxsound isn't updated, then be my guest :)
[Nexus 4 General] russells.android:
Wow! That was quick! Thank you very much. You are the reason why i installed viper on my n4 after months of not installing it. :D
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Thanks. I tried the same combination also from another user's recommendation. You will not believe your ears once you've enabled fauxsound quality/loudness profile and configured V4A to your preferences.

Btw, I recommend flashing V4A through this zip (credit to gianton): https://mega.co.nz/#!VdQwGDha!glh6RYEnKVzokFhJ3FQOqCDAl9EMcgdTviWSCondwdc

It's meant to specifically work on lollipop. Do a TWRP backup before flashing (bootloop chance). Many L users are experiencing difficulties by simply installing the official APK, it functions best as a system app.

Not sure though if this is also kernel related, as the first thing I did after updating to 5.1 is to flash b73: my phone lags for a good number of seconds (to the point that screen becomes unresponsive) the first time I turn on internet (3g or WiFi) after a whole day maybe of no internet. After apps have updated their data, phone comes to its smoothy state again. Happened only in 5.1, using both b73 and b74. All default settings, running stock ROM.

How may I help to troubleshoot this?
[Nexus 4 General] leninke:
Yes, dt2w is on.
[Nexus 4 General] hellsgod:
Turn it off to see if it's really dt2w. Or you can try to tap with all fingers on the screen once or twice to reboot the driver. There's no other way, if its really dt2w.

I always disable DT2W for battery saving purposes. I confirmed it is off and I have had this issue 3x in the past 2 days. I was going nuts trying to figure out what it was.

One more thing I forgot to mention. Leave SELinux state to enforcing unless you are using apps that require permissive selinux state (Viper4Android the most prominent example), otherwise permissive state is a security hole and doesn't have any impact on performance or battery afaik.
