[Moto G Android Development] SeannyM:
Even if you somehow corrupt your data partition (EXTREMELY unlikely) your phone will still be able to boot into recovery and you can fix it. Trust me, I managed to corrupt the data partition on an old phone, and it was easily fixable in recovery.

Ok, I'll do but by "format /data partition" you mean go to "Mounts and Storage" and hit "format /data"? Nothing else? I have Phils Touch Recovery will work with this recovery or I need to install CWM or TRWP?

Random Reboot

Hey guys, so, I was deciding which governor to use, and I've pretty much settled with interactive.

So, I used 'Performance Manager' to select interactive govenor, 192MHz min, 1593MHz max, and BFQ I/O Scheduler, all at stock configurations.

I then used AnTuTu to get a benchmark, and got my highest ever score (17,500) :laugh: . I then used the AnTuTu stability test, which it passed with no problems what so ever. I also used the 'Stability Test' app to test CPU and GPU stability, which it continued fine with (until I got bored of checking it).

Everything seemed fine... until I turned the screen off to continue watching TV. After a while, I noticed the notification light blinking, but I ignored it. A minute or so later, it rebooted itself.

It seems to work fine when I'm using it, and there's no jittering or frame drop or lag. Time will tell, but can anyone tell me why it rebooted? I know I'm being annoying, but I don't know how to read kmsg files.

Thanks.

Edit: [MENTION=4888452]SeannyM[/MENTION] Any ideas about the 'perfromance mode' thing I mentioned?
[Moto G Android Development] SeannyM:
The reboot is likely from CyanogenMod, not the kernel or any kernel settings. People get random reboots on stock CM kernel too.

[Moto G Android Development] kieranc:
Ok, this might seem crazy as I don't really see how a kernel change could cause the problems I'm seeing, but...

I'm getting a significant increase in Lost RAM when using pink kernel. I noticed it at first about a week ago after a wipe and flash, I'd enabled ART and flashed pink at the same time and started seeing a serious increase in lost RAM, 3-400MB after a day, leading to lag etc. I reflashed CM without ART or pink and the problem went away, lost RAM stayed around 60-100MB. I've left ART disabled but yesterday decided to try pink again to see what happened and today, I'm up to 350MB lost RAM and my phone is performing very badly. I'm about to reflash the new nightly and overwrite pink, I'm fairly sure it's going to resolve the problem.

It seems unlikely that I'm the only person this would affect, or that people wouldn't be screaming about it if it were happening for lots of people so I'm a bit confused. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing it? Using CM nightlies, no xposed, pink 0413 on all default settings.

[Moto G Android Development] SeannyM:
There must be something else in this kernel taking up the RAM, because now there is 880MB which is still 2MB less than stock. Not too big of a deal, just wondering what could be using more RAM. I'm pretty sure faux123's kernel still has 882MB, so it must be something specific to this kernel. Oh well, this kernel is still faster than stock CM11 kernel, that's for sure.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

I think that the smoothness tweaks should be reverted, I get about a 10-15% fps drop in DraStic emulater (running without frame limit) compared to the previous build. I also have to set my draw distance lower in GTA San Andreas for smooth gameplay. These are my main two speed testing apps, so I haven't tried anything else yet.

Edit: Just noticed in the kk-exp branch that four commits were reverted, I assume they are the commits in question? I didn't look at the diff so I couldn't tell.
[Moto G Android Development] mccbrandon:
I think that the system performs better but in apps and games it's worse, maybe a gpu overclock
[Moto G Android Development] pinkflozd:
will compile a new build tomorrow :good:
[Moto G Android Development] mccbrandon:
Can it have overlooked gpu?
[Moto G Android Development] SeannyM:
Before we move on to the GPU, it'd probably be best to get the CPU overclock working first. That would help performance everywhere. Not that the performance isn't good already ;) my previous device was single core so this is a huge improvement.
[Moto G Android Development] mccbrandon:
Ok

You just need to download the latest zip to your phone, then boot into recovery (CWM), press 'install zip from sdcard', 'choose from sdcard', then go to where you downloaded the file, and select it. It should then flash this Kernel, and then you can reboot, and you're done!

[Moto G Android Development] HellPie:
So why does samsung and kernel devs keep saying that it can run at 1.6/1.7GHz? It's a lie or with this "fake overclock" the phone runs efecctively more smoothly?

Sent from my Galaxy Note with CM11
[Moto G Android Development] callidus_ex_de_latebros:
The S4 Mini has an MSM8930, which is a dual core KRAIT. The Moto G has an MSM8226 quad core ARM. One Krait is slightly better than one ARM, but the Moto G has twice as many cores as the S4 mini, so performs equally.

I say that they perform equally, but this is when the S4 mini is at 1.7GHz, and the Moto G is at 1.2GHz. At 1.6GHz, the Moto G would thrash the S4 mini.

No, the nominal frequency for our MSM8226 is 1.6GHz. See this:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a8226&c=qualcomm_snapdragon_400_msm8226

The Samsung uses an entirely different chip, so comparison is pointless (but I've already covered this).

I'm gonna clarify this here, so anyone asking in future can see this:

The Moto G has an MSM8226 quad core ARM processor. Qualcomm (it's manufacturers) specify 1.6 GHz as the top speed.

However, Motorola under-clocks it to 1.2GHz to give better battery life.

If we set it back up to 1.6GHz (which is what it was designed for), that is NOT over-clocking, that's just returning it to what it should be.

Even at 1.2GHz, the Moto G performs excellently. At 1.6GHz, performance would be even better than it already is.

If we were to actually over-clock it, then, using the 20-25% rule for stability, that would take it up to 1.9-2.0GHz. At those speeds, much more heat would be produced, so it would thermal throttle a lot faster. We would therefore see ridiculously high levels of processing power, but in short bursts, and the rest of the time, it would peak at 1.6GHz, where it would still be a powerhouse.

Oh, and bear in mind that, as I mentioned, '1.9GHz' does not mean all the time. For example, the Nexus 5, which is essentially the Moto G's big brother in terms of price/performance ratio, is advertised as running at 2.3GHz. Due to heat production, when you open Asphalt 8, it takes just 40 seconds to throttle down to just 1.2GHz. So the N5 is rated at 2.3GHz, but actually does most of it's heavy work at half of that.
[Moto G Android Development] HellPie:
So we can actually run it at 1.6GHz or not? If so, when I record the screen or i do benchmarks, i get better performance when i run it at 1.2GHz

Sent from my Galaxy Note with CM11
[Moto G Android Development] callidus_ex_de_latebros:
It's perfectly capable of running at 1.6GHz, but at the moment, we can't figure out how to tell the CPU to go faster. The conventional method doesn't work.
[Moto G Android Development] fabus:
Official public information says about 1.2 Ghz.
