I've been using Hellscore kernel b58 since a few days with the Android L port for Nexus4 and this is brilliant. The smartphone gets sometimes very cold, scary! :good:

Which governor are you using/ could you recommend? I'm currently using "hellsactive", is "smartmax" better?

I'm really looking at improving the life battery as much as possible.

Cheers
[Nexus 4 General] LeoPosas:
Hi [MENTION=647113]hellsgod[/MENTION], just one question, I want to enable DT2W on bottom (half) zone, but unfortunately can activate it with synapse

It's this a kernel failure or simple the kernel doesn't have that zone enabled?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] TheNerd:]:
Hellscore does not have that feature. Only the double tap in the middle
[Nexus 4 General] Adrian.Chandra:
I use smartmax on b59 v1, for my usage it give the best battery lifes. The best way to know is just try both governor and use it like you usually do then before charging see how good it is 4 u.

Edit:

Using hellsactive and smartmax i found smartmax give better battery life with my usage. Seing the cpu states hellsactive use suspend freq more often and seldom go to lower freq, with smartmax it use all freq below suspend freq more evenly.

Hellsactive:

Smartmax:

[Nexus 4 General] zalzondabuzz:
You mean. CM kernel?
[Nexus 4 General] Fiscelan:
Hi Adrian,

Thanks a lot for the advice and the stats: I'll keep using hellsactive for a few days, so how the battery goes, then will change to smartmax, and see how it goes.

:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Fiscelan:
Would there be a battery life improvement by underclocking the GPU clock? It's set at 400 Mhz max, and seems to be underclockable to 320, 200 and 128.

Any idea?
[Nexus 4 General] hardwareadictos:
Use smartmax as governor of CPU or simply flash b47 (for me is performing better and less battery drainage) :)

[Nexus 4 General] RASTAVIPER:
Better battery life comes only from cpu settings and in general from cutting down wakelocks.
[Nexus 4 General] Fiscelan:
Does Battery Saving location mode make a big battery life improvement compared to High Accuracy mode, in your experience?
[Nexus 4 General] RASTAVIPER:
Not huge, as gps location is used only when it's a reason (gps navigation or Facebook check-in etc), but for sure it will help a bit if u shut down totally Location, when you don't need it.

[Nexus 4 General] acejavelin:
Why does everyone run with minimum cores set to 2? Does it really save battery over set to 1, seems counter intuitive...
[Nexus 4 General] dcop7:
Not exactly. If you use heavy apps, the kernel have to turn on and off the cpu's more times, since 1 core isn't enough. If 2 cores are always online, it could be enough for those apps, so it wont turn on any more cpu's.

Turning on and off cpu's cause battery drain.
[Nexus 4 General] eurochild:
I personally use 2 cores minimum cause i feel my device faster when waking from deep sleep and other performance related little activities, dont care about battery
[Nexus 4 General] Fiscelan:
Good point, I was wondering the same. will run the test on 2 CPU min online to see if it changes something about battery life.
[Nexus 4 General] Ciao600:
I have enabled 2 cores min and I didn't see any battery life changes. Just more smoothness.

Ps :does anyone need a oneplus one invite?
[Nexus 4 General] Fiscelan:
Hi

Just to be sure before doing something silly: I understand that Kernel (even the latest b59v3) would work with a Moto G running KK 4.4.3. Is it correct?

I'm asking because I cannot see the Hellscore kernel manager from Google Play with the Moto G of my wife.

Just wanted to say thanks for the kernel. Just got over 6 hours of SOT (limited use but I did have Waze going for a bit on it) and I am so impressed by the battery life. After trying Semaphore and Faux, I think I'm sticking on hellscore for a bit.
[Nexus 4 General] shengovind:
You have to set it for cpu1 cpu2 and cpu3 also..

Only setting it for cpu 0 limits freq of first core only.. Set it for all four cores..

Hope this helps..

Works fine when used directly from terminal emulator.. I use trickster mod to monitor CPU frequencies..

Make sure you have intellidemand governor.

Anyone have problems with bluetooth and volume control? I tried this on my phone vs. N7 2013. N4 has hellscore and N7 has the stock kernel still but I'm getting bluetooth wanting to go up to max volume while it's paired to my soundbar.

So if I adjust the volume on either the soundbar or N4 itself, it seeks immediately to go to max. On the N7, I can change it on either and it's fine.

Just seeing if this might be kernel related.

So hellsgod has to clarify this..

Many thanks to hellsgod for his work..Loving the kernel. I have a question though..What would be the best app to manage this kernel? Trickster,fauxclock, Franco's or something else?I know in OP it mentions all three of them are recommended,just need to know if any of these has an edge over the others. I have a 2012 nexus 7 so I'd like to use them on both devices..

I bought it on eBay after reading a review from a German guy that has tried a few batteries after having the same issues (a replacement battery that dies after a few days.)

Freeze

Hi

I very often get my N4 to freeze after a reboot. The only solution is to force it to reboot (and pray that he will be more fiendly next time).

I've noticed it happens when Hellscore Manager has not applied the profile yet. What I do is that after the reboot, I open as quickly as possible the Hellscore Manager, touch a few things, and hope the Nexus won't freeze. Also when the device freezes, it gets hotter and hotter until I force reboot, showing lots of CPU activity.

Also I notice the network connections (Wifi + GSM) are in orange (not in white), so not ready/active yet.

That would be very good to fix that, because I assume I'm not the only one with this issue. I'm with Android L port for N4.

Right now I'm not using any UV, however I changed the following from default using HKM:

- 384Mhz min freq (phone wakes faster from deep sleep this way)

- Noop 256k scheduler - I "feel" it could be the problem with video freezing, 1024k is too much to read ahead and the video freezes because it's caching (correct me if I'm wrong, probably I am :P )

I picked Noop with 256k to replicate Stratosk's settings on his Semaphore kernel which I consider the most stable out there.

Testing last version...

b59v3 was brilliant!

hellsactive is awsome for performance but it tend to overkill using too often higher cpu freq states even on light usage (ex music playing with screen off). I can still manage to the end of the day, but i think it is suboptimal.

smartmax with 2 cpu always on is a perfect balance for me.

b47 is still the best for battery life, but b59 is not so far and is better performing. b59 best version so far, for me.
