FYI

Kernel Setup:

Battery life

- Set minimum cores to 2 instead of 4

- Set CPU governor to Ondemand

Performance

- Keep Stock Settings

Try those and see whats best for you...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] californicated:
Flashed Velocity with latest Arkenstone. Over night my phone drained more 40% battery in airplane mode. Anyone else with the same issue? I'm already using the same settings for battery life as mentioned above.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] johnb380:
Try with 1 core min and max cpu set to Stock clock That's what I use... I only See a minimal performance boost From OC In real life I see more negative effects than pos. for me... Also Dont forget Let it settle A day or 2... Me I also Do a dalvik and cache wipe after I restore my apps and set my n4 up then let it settle for 30 mins then reboot!

That's just me!

_______REMEMBER_________

Give it AT LEAST 2 battery cycles before u judge A kernel!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dankatz1:
I'll say for battery life and general use:

reduce min cores to 1, and change scheduler to noop.

And yes, Ondemand of course.

I also increased buffer and undervolted a bit but that personal per Device preference.

Not effecting my performance but of course it's not as static max frequency (performance and battery wise).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ATRIX-BEAST:
my personal opinion

These kernels are all nice and awesome well built. Well made. Effort I can see it right away. Some people want more battery some want more performance and some want the best of both world's. Half and half. But if u can have a kernel based on pure battery saving while having the performance you looking for without having to adjust anything or tweak stuff with other apps. That's beyond awesome. We have to sacrifice some performance to get battery. And we have to sacrifice some battery to get performance but if we can have full performance without sacrificing battery and adjusting anything that be awesome. I'm currently working on that. And will let the mastermind behind it all know of this when I'm done with it. As u guys will have a kernel like no other ;)

You have to use betterbat stats and verify your wakelock situation.

My phone doesn't really sleep well so I installed fauxclock and saw that only the C0 sleep state is active. Is it not recommended to turn all On?

[Nexus 4 Android Development] californicated:
This could be the reason for battery drain in idle. BBS doesn't show anything suspicious. 40% drain in airplane mode is nothing that gets fixed by letting the kernel settle. For me the first cycle is usually the best one. Don't know why

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Gnome:
Try this:

- wipe cache and dalvik

- re flash kernel

- reboot

- go to faux clock

- configure hot plug and set min cpu to 2

- change CPU governor to ondemand

- set it on boot

- reboot

- Observe

Hopefully that helps...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] californicated:
I was using ART, but will try with Dalvik now. Followed your steps, but faux clock doesn't show me options for hotplugging. It worked with trickster before :rolleyes:

Update: The drain goes on. 30min SoT, 60% battery left. No wakelocks, android settings show display as no.1 (not possible).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Jagdish84:
Am i the only one not being able to edit hotplug settings via Fauxclock?

Isnt it suppose to be visible on CPU tab?

ccab beat me to it...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Gnome:
Not sure about faux clock since I use trickster. Try trickster if it doesn't show in fauxclock

Solution : Use both apps. Set on boot your settings in trickster and only set on boot the cpu idle settings in fauxclock

Were you on AK 32 kernel before flashing this one? Did you flash the AK uninstaller zip before changing kernels?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] j1mp492:
I've never heard about re-flashing the ROM for just a kernel. I'm not doubting you or anything but could you go in to the specifics why it might be necessary?

Anyway.. it seems like "Blood Diamond" broke Wi-Fi and "Sapphire" broke root for me on the stock ROM. I had an early version of Arkenstone that worked just fine.

Derp. Well I was at least and didn't know about that at all.. gotta try it. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iskandar1023:
It's necessary to dirty flash your rom if your previous kernel if modifying system and ramdisk

Like ak that add prima driver and some modules.

Just try it :D

Btw this kernel is great! I want to try it with velocity but the last version is 17-01 am i right?? :what:

A question for you Gnome, white edition says stable config, for me black was safe too, so whats the difference? :) Is black faster? :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] wcn:
It's SELinux related. Read here
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Gnome:
White is tweaked to the stablest configuration but it doesn't mean that It'll degrade the performance, as for the Black Edition, it's tweaked to the best performace that it can give but quite fast to drain. Anyways try it out and you yourself can answer that. ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] pejakovic1:
Thanks, performance is the same, now its time to test the drain, happy running at 1700 with 23600 score in antutu :D

Battery on average is around 4.5 to 5h SOT with reading Tapatalk and Google+, some YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. That's it. Since first edition, these are my stats. David's PA latest.

Edit: ART, occasionally on data, 2g, mostly on wifi.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ATRIX-BEAST:
Yes the battery is good with this stable kernel. We have configured it to the best settings. I personally I'm a some what heavy user and I get around 10 hours of battery. I usually play a lot of games and heavy on texting and on Facebook lol. So if you're a light user or a average it should last you beyond 14 hours if anything. Also with they being said it can differ on people as some like to have apps running on the background such as oovoo Skype etc... I'm currently on the stable one and it's flawless :)

I do like the the improvements from the last build but I want too see the battery life for this one since it is overclocked and I'm wondering if that drains the battery more or less because it completes tasks faster.

It seems to have potential to be my daily driver for my kernel.

Of course since its overclocked its going to drain battery faster, but I don't really notice a difference in battery drain compared to stock frequencies, just in speed :good:

Thanks [MENTION=5334172]Gnome[/MENTION], fast charge working now.

As for battery life, last night I wrote a post and when I was about to take a screen shot of the battery stats I accidentally closed the xda window. Pissed me off lol.

Anyway I don't know what you guys been doing with your phones but I had 9 hours, 4 hours (3:53) screen on time on auto brightness. Started with 85% out of the power and plugged it back with 4%.

That's include web browsing, mail, writing, browsing xda, playing 3d games.

Dungeon hunter 4 butchered about 20% of my battery.

Dead trigger 2 almost took no battery.

I don't use greenify as I feel that freezing apps on a smartphone kinda take the point out of it, personal feeling though. I feel android manage itself good enough.

I do use xposed framework and use intelli3g (smart switch 3g/2g).

I also have a Tasker profile that use proxy while the device is sleeping, so the proximity sensor is always active (habit since my HTC Desire to save buttons life).

Luckily for me, Kitkat reduced battery drain on that part.

I did changed a bit the default settings but that shouldn't change so much.

If your battery drain so fast you either have a wake lock, some Rouge app or you play/watch movie / on full brightness - the entire time.

If hells core uses a modified Ramdisk, you need to wipe cache and dalvik cache reflash rom and flash kernel. But if not, no need to wipe just flash the kernel and you're fine.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] wcn:
As [MENTION=5334172]Gnome[/MENTION] has replied above. However it is recommended to dirty flash your current rom if wanna switch to other kernel because of some i.e. some scripts or some modules inherited from the earlier kernel might interfere with the new kernel and system.

He meant the kernel is overclocked to 1728mhz as stock, you should lower the maximum frequency of the kernel, that should stop your phone crashing.

If i understood correctly your phone had the red light of death while benchmarking with antutu..if so it happens because your phone does not handle frequences bigger than 1728...also i have to run antutu at 1728 maximum..if it happened only with that kernel...i don t know :D maybe lower the freq to try
