[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigbear6708:
that is kind of low..guess it depends on your usage. I have UC mine to 1.7..but the kicker is the hotplug set to "0". that enables all 4 cores always on. the reasoning is, we are trying to determine if lower frequency on cpu with 4 cores active is better than hotplugging 2 cores with a higher frequency. so far, for me, the UC option seems definately better
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I'm taking a slightly different approach... Still uc heavily... But setting load_threshold to a very low number (currently 10) so when the phone is actually screen on idling, it can drop down to 2 cores... I've also adjusted the minimum time that a core can be on to limit on/off/on/off sequences...

Really impressed with the battery life on r36 and using vomer's settings.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Riptide 2 is the most graphic intensive game I own at the moment and it runs fine. I can't comment on others but if you did see lag you could bump the max speed

Performance is boosted overall, battery is better. You should try for your self. With all 4 cores active all the time we don't need really higj speeds, its very efficient! Deadline is in kernel settings its already default io schedular and hot plug settings require beta apk for now

Yes that's an interesting approach. I have wondered about that but then wondered about the battery hit with cores onlining and off lining almost constantly so decided to stay at 0 hot plug

Is anyone using init.d scripts with cataclysm rom? I can not get it to work, did everything like described here. They just don't execute. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
You need busy box in system/xbin to run init.d afaik. There's loads of installers on play store
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lownita:
It already is installed right there! No idea why it isn't working though :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Permissions of the file and folders?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lownita:
init.d folder is drwxr-xr-x, file is rwxr-xr-x.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Just for fun check all the boxes for permission on init.d folder and the script and reboot. If its still broken I'd say its something broken on the rom or its using something else to over write later in the boot process. Do you have any other scripts in there?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Yeah, I'm trying to find that sweet spot where the phone in idle won't bump to quad core but can run all the background events as dual core... and why I raised min_time_cpu_online to smooth out the online-offline cycle a bit...

but still testing, still messing around with it... Still a lot more settings I can change to try to smooth out the frequency curve and load targets... if I can find that sweet spot and maintain lower frequenc usages, I will raise the uc a bit so that *if* the system get enough of a load hit it can still ramp up higher than normal....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KuChar_:
little ot guys,

Is there somewhere a topic that contains list of games with peer app mode?

That would be a great thing
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
after a reboot, system is supposed to go back to ro, however the file permissions you set *should* (unless I'm missing something) stay as 755 (rwx/rx/rx)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Sounds kind of counter-intuitive to what you're trying to achieve here with the 4-cores always online, low clock thing, but why don't you try setting hotplug at a higher value, say 85-90? That way, you've got it running 2 cores for most tasks - underclocked, obviously - but it kicks up the remaining two cores when it only really needs to? To balance it out, try setting the min_time slightly higher so it stays with 4 online for a bit to ensure it's not going to go on/off regularly when running an intense app.

Alternatively, you can try setting the hotplug to 100, and a couple per-app modes with the hotplug at 0, and set all the intensive apps under those. That way, for background use and most everyday-apps, you're effectively running a dual core, and when you want to game, it kicks up the other two cores. I think, to ensure smoothness, though, for the dual-core setup, you'd have to increase the GPU clock or something?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
what I'm trying to achieve, is a quad core phone under usage, but when I've put the phone down for a moment, or just reading the screen for a set time with no interaction, leave the phone the ability to drop down to 2 cores

idle = 2 core

any load = 4 core

I'm just trying to mess with the settings to smooth out the idle/2 core state...

besides, what I learn from this experiment may be used by vomer, tgm and others in their tunes as well...

I'm playing with the other settings simply because in all th custom tunes I've seen from others, they all make the same changes, just to varying degrees... only tweaking (on average) 6 or 7 options... when the kernel gives us far more than that to change... fine tuning the governor might possibly end up saving us as much battery in the long run as straight uc, meaning that if we tune the governor to prefer certain states, we can avoid having to uc as heavily, but still get the same battery performance out of the phone, while leaving higher cpu states available for when/if needed on the global tune, won't need to pam as heavily or as often...

No issues here. I just tried Adaway on R11 and no problem. I'm not sure the kernel has an impact on that. Try it one more time.

You've noticed lag in games ? Which games? I haven't noticed and i even underclocked from where you have it (1.9 ghz max, touchboost at 1 ghz, hispeedload at 1.5ghz)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JNewms:
I agree. I haven't found any lag yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
No offence, but if you don't have the device to test this for yourself, please don't make assumptions and make a post about semi-related facts. FIFA 14 has a very noticeable performance dip when switching to Franco's kernel from stock, this wasn't placebo since I tested it twice by switching between kernels. There's a chance some GPU/CPU governor isn't cranking things all the way and causing lag, but if anything, this is most likely related to franco's kernel as I have made no other change when testing out FIFA.

As far as your kernel settings suggestions goes, thanks for those, when I switch back to Franco's and if the problem persists I'll try them.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Testraindrop:
The better question is: "Will CM support AOSP?"

If go on their own again like on the Mako, then I doubt Franco will build 2 Kernels extra for them.

If they don't do own incompatible stuff, then the Kernel with work like on every other AOSP Rom for every Nexus device.

You need to get one, your tests on the Mako were absolutely perfect :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ok I manage to reproduce that Antutu reboot Kernel panic. It seems that there is a L1 cache parity bug, and by default the Kernel panics when this happens. My guess is that there is some software bug in the L1/L2 handlers, and that's way over the top of what I know since this is directly from CAF. I tried a bunch of things and reverting code, but no dice. I sent an email to a Google contact to see if I can get some direct access to one of the Android team to report this.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hanny:
Thanks for your reply, and I have edited my post a bit to make it more objective :)

However you might like to try my ideas about testing the differences in a more-controlled manner about the CPU behaviour rather than simply switching without making changes because the kernel settings in stock and custom kernels are different. For the assumptions they are all listed as possibilities for you guys to test them out and give more informative feedback instead of just posting about "lag". As an experienced gaming tester that's all I can try to contribute, and clear up confusions about how people think what MSAA is. You don't need to phone to post here, because our ideas contribute to the same generation of kernels :highfive: Cheers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Savant:
Gaming performance is awesome and I have no lags or anything playing dead trigger or other graphic intensive games.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dragooon123:
That's the entire point, if default settings are causing lag then they (IMHO) shouldn't be default, because people would keep pestering about them.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I haven't noticed any lag during gaming, but I agree that interactive is much more conservative than ondemand on scaling freqs, so I think there's some room for improvement in that department. I'm working on it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
when I have more time. I'll post a script to run manually to test that vomers init script will run properly, and clear any issues with access by the script itself.. (I encountered a few of those last night, easy enough to fix temporarily, but I still want to know why they're happening...)

that way I can rule out issues with the script, but still need to figure out a way to get the init.d tested reliably... that's the difference between the init app that vomer suggests and the one i suggest.. the one I suggest will duplicate an init system (whereas vomers supposedly enables the init system of the rom.. I haven't looked too hard into it to see, but...) the big difference is the one I suggest also has an test to see if the init system (rom) works by default... helps to narrow down issues that way too...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jmartino5920:
Funny, I woke up wanting to post about how I had no problem running Vomers' script via Terminal Emulator but I tried the automatic method of placing the script in the /system/etc/init.d/ folder and ran into the same problems as some others have. I know I changed permissions correctly, but like others, upon reboot the script didn't run. In fact, after placing the script and changing permissions, nothing happened. Is there something we're supposed to do after that?

I'm on Stock rooted Android 4.4.2, r36, FKU Beta, and certainly have the latest BusyBox installed. Thanks for the help in advance.

Problems with newest r36

I'm getting some strange errors with the new r36. My phone turns on fine after the initial flash, works for about a minute or two, then crashes. Usually, that'd be no big deal, but it then gets locked into a boot loop. Not sure what you changed, but please fix it so I can go back to using your awesome kernel!

I'm running stock 4.4.2, no kernel mods, with the 4.4 bootloader and radios (the 4.4.2 radios are a freaking joke for data speeds). I auto flashed from r34 to r36. Sorry, but I was not able to capture a bug report.

In a browser look for vomers or the gingerbread man's post and you will see a link to their settings to modify the kernel. Also the FKU learners lounge by tgm is a great way to learn all you need to know about Franco's kernel.

The kernel is awesome as is. Right now a few uses are testing 4 cores and comparing their results to hot plugging and 2 cores.

4 cores isn't default, as to which app, franco kernel updater is the app this kernel dev makes for tweaking his work (and so is targeted to this kernel and likely the best for it... buy the paid version it get's updated far more often than the free, I think the free only installs the kernel to the n5 these days..

other apps, are a terminal emulator, tasker, trickster mod, kernel tuner, kernel tweaker, etc, etc.....
