Hello, i have tried v10 and v15. In my opinion v10 is giving me a better user experience with the same or even better battery life than v15. Disabling the 2 cores is giving little or no benefit when the 2 remaining cores are obliged to work at 100% for more time to handle a medium to high workload.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] truevision:
.... you have to try v16, it's better than v15, give me good battery and stability.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
v16 really is good, but I definitely have a best experience with v10. v10 is more simple and have a better RAM manager than v16.

[MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] Can you explain what is KSM and for what is used it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
Well better experience is a bit hard to say considering I don't know what you're doing with your device. That said, the battery life could be explained by the values I've put to interactive. I'll try to tweak them more.

Looks like V10 is legendary lool. Though I would like to understand how V10 is simpler lool.

As for KSM, it is a feature used for lower ram device and it shares the same memory pages for different processes.

As such, it should save some ram at the expense of a bit more cpu activity. It also it possible that KSM is too much/not aggressive enough. That remains to be seen.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
Yeah, v10 is very nice., with it I have just some problems when I was tweaking interactive governor. Some settings didn't applied (like max freq to 3rd and 4th cores).

As feedback I can say apparently KSM is more agressive, when I'm using CM 13 stock kernel or Quanta v10 my free RAM stays, approximately, at 1,4 GB (yes, I'm light user) but with v16 it stay easily 1,1 GB. Honestly I can't understand how.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
To be honest, it doesn't make sense to remain so fixated on free RAM, unless it's dipping into the 200-300 MB range. RAM is there for being used. The more things that are loaded into RAM, generally the faster your phone will feel (it can switch faster to tasks that are loaded to RAM, it takes less processor time and read/write cycles to access data if more frequently used data is loaded to RAM, etc.).

Many people have the tendency to keep freeing up RAM (by frequently closing all open apps, clearing recents, etc.), which really only hurts the smoothness/fluidity and makes the phone less snappy. This is part of the reason that Task Killers have been actively recommended against as of the last several Android versions.

My point here is... maybe the RAM management of V15/16 is less aggressive on clearing apps/data from memory, but doing so is not necessarily a bad thing. It's a different matter if your phone is running out of RAM to open new apps, and it's automatically having to kill tasks to compensate. If you notice this happening, then you certainly have a right to complain.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
Well, I understand you point and agree with it. But I talk about it because the system is what is consuming more RAM now. My apps are consuming the same, but the system double your RAM usage with v16 and I don't see a true advantage in this during my use.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
If this makes you feel better, RAM is there to be used. It's gonna intelligently free it when needed or when it's absolutely required. For example in Apple's Mac OS, almost all the RAM is used pretty much all the time. People freaked out at first thinking it was a problem, but actually it wasn't.

I never paid attention to how much RAM I've got left no matter how many tasks I had open at the same time, mainly because I never had a problem with the RAM.

So you shouldn't be worried about that. And also it's better not to "clear all tasks". Leave them open. The phone knows what and when to close stuff. If you close the tasks that you're constantly using, the phone will force itself more to opening everything up again and again and that might also slightly affect the battery life.

So don't worry about RAM and tasks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
Right, I got it. This was just curiosity about the change.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
Actually I believe this is still a remanant of the gingerbread Era where the OS couldn't manage RAM as efficiently as now. Though because we have way more ram and that the system is efficiently managing it, it is less than an issue.

Also your example about Mac OS could be said about Windows 10 as well.

Also I never had a moment to ask for it but is V16 smoother than V10? As I said some posts earlier, the way interactive is tweaked may make the cpu always go to the max frequency available. It quite wasn't that way with cpu_boost but I'll see if something can be done.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
My personal opinion is that v16 is better than v10. The battery life is also great. Yesterday I got almost 3h SOT, of which 50m consisted of playing Boom Beach. The smoothness is also pretty obvious compared to v10. But again, that's from my point of view. Scrolling through a lot of apps is smoother.

I'm more than satisfied with v16.

As for the RAM, I noticed that some apps stay loaded in the background very well. With older builds I would move between tasks and when I reopened a previous one, it would resume it at first, then after a few seconds restarted the app really quick. Not it just stays open and let me resume the thing I was doing. So if right now the RAM is used more intensively, I'd say it's for the best.

As for the Mac example, Windows 10 uses a bit more RAM and that's exactly what improved the experience on my laptop.

So it looks like even if the RAM is used more intensively, its management is better and more efficient than before, from OSX, to Windows 10 and now Android.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] aldus12:
In my opinion v16 is way smoother than v10. Also ram management is better than previous builds (but in par with v10) because background apps stay open instead of being killed. However v10 is an absolute winner for battery life for my normal (light) usage. V16 is not bad at all but not at the same level. I hope this helps the development!

And again, thank you very much!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
In my configs v16 has a great battery life too. I have more 5 hours of SOT using Whatsapp, Firefox, playing GBA games, etc. The battery life is very impressive (see attachments) but in stand by v16 is double worse than v10. With v10 my battery drain is 1%/60 minutes, with v16 is 1%/30 minutes. But still is very decent, I'm ejoying v16.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
That's some very decent battery life.

OTG Issues

Hi guys, I'm trying to get OTG working on my N4 and I'm kinda struggling...

I'm running the latest version of the Kernel, a PureNexus ROM and I've enabled OTG with the Quanta Tweaks app. The thumb drive is connected to a powered USB hub, then an OTG cable to the phone. It's formated to Fat32 and works with my Galaxy s6.

Any help would be really appriciated. Thanks! :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
It's possible that the rom isn't mounting the drive automatically. In this case, you might need StickMount to mount it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mlesniewski:
I forgot to mention, I've tried stick mount as well. No luck... Could it be anything else?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fefecilly:
I don't tink this cable configuration can work, I've tried something similar without success too.

Have you tried a pure USB y cable?

This resolved my problems.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mlesniewski:
No, I haven't... I'll order one on amazon and give it a go!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mlesniewski:
I couldn't wait and modified my OTG cable to give it external power. It works! Thanks :)

Before installing kernel Quanta - V16 for CM13, I must first return to the stock kernel?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
If you are using a different custom kernel, then YES, it's absolutely necessary.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nimbold:
I'm really happy with v16. My battery is kinda broke after 2 years of non-stop using but now once again I could achieve 4 hours SOT with heavy usage.

Ondemand, underclocked to 1.2GHZ and - 100 undervolt. Along with DU ROM.

Thanks dev!

Hi everyone!

I installed Quanta V16 to gain OTG access on my Nexus 4 but using a dual pendrive I'm not able to connect my pendrive via OTG with my N4.

Chroma ROM last version, Quanta V16 and Stickmount installed, OTG Hack enabled on Quanta Tweaks app, but OTG not working for me.

Any thoughts?

Our N4 need the Y specific cable, the phone only can't supply the power needed for external drives. The hack is only for recognition, but you need the right cable

Hi guys, as I was checking out on my server, I was wondering on the rendering of QuantaWorks so far. I know the website isn't quite done yet and I didn't really worked on it these days. (Scheduled maintenance planned this weekend)

Have QW been solid so far? Should it have something more? Let me know. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mmonaghan34:
Just so that you're aware, the auto updater in QT is offering me v7 as an "update" to my currently installed v13 as can be seen in the below screenshot
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
You should flash v16. V13 is one of those that have caused issues for a lot of users. Flash v16 in recovery after dirty flashing your ROM or only the "boot.img" found inside the ROM.zip. Get the kernel from the OP since you can't get it with QT.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mmonaghan34:
I tried v16 when it first came out and found it made my N4 lose in general performance when doing the most basic of things, and yet to have any issues with v13, I'll try v16 again
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Make sure you flash it as I previously mentioned. Flash the "boot.img file found in the ROM that you're using before flashing v16. This way you override the custom kernel with the ROM's stock kernel. Only then are you good to go.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mmonaghan34:
OK, just flashed v16 and QT is still offering me an update to v7, so it's not me using an outdated version of the kernel that's causing the issue
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
For me it's working fine. Try to delete QT's data from Settings/ Apps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mmonaghan34:
I just used QT's inbuilt wipe data feature and still same issue, could be something to do with me still running L?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
Yeah, the updater checks your android version and tries to give you the latest kernel version available for this release.

I haven't taken this case into account because I don't expect people to update over the most recent version of the kernel.

Whilst I don't normally support this, I'll adapt QT so you can be at least able to download the version you're currently in.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Vioner:
Guys, I've searched the whole thread for all "brightness" occurences and I've found no one complaining about the highest brightness level in exponential brightness. I really like this feature as it lets me set the screen really dim without any screen filter apps or other 3rd party ones, but I'm wondering why the peak brightness level is so low. I thought this feature would let us dim the screen more, but it has a downside of making the max brightness "darker". Anyone know why that is? Should I contact the feature dev about it?

Of course I know I can simply toggle back to linear brightness to have the brightest light levels, but why not have all at once? For now I'm using the widget.

By the way [MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] , great kernel, thank you!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
From this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46131489&postcount=3994

I think that the values requested by Android will result in a different value in the kernel because of it being Exponential. This feature doesn't only allow the brightness to go more dim, it completely changes the behavior of the brightness as it is on the hardware level side of things, which is why the highest brightness level can seem so low.

It is possible to change the maximum values as set by the kernel. That said, I won't touch them because I think Stratosk knew what he was doing when implementing this feature and as you said, nobody complained about this.

Hi everyone, I just want to say that I'll do a maintenance on QW later today. (in case you were wondering if it was down)

Father's Day update

What's up guys, in these times where security is important, I wanted to keep Quanta the most up to date possible. Albeit a bit late, here I am! I also wish in advance to some fathers here a happy Father's Day :).

V17 (11/06/16):

- Merged Flo's security patches (Important)

- Updated F2FS

You can see a list of fixed vulnerabilities here: http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-06-01.html

I also introduce Quanta-Cleanup. It's main purpose is to cleanup the ramdisk of your kernel if you were to update Quanta or if you were to change kernels for example. It is available here:

http://quantaworks.me/kernels/quanta/cleanup/Quanta-Cleanup.zip

Source available here: https://github.com/zaclimon/Quanta-Cleanup

Like Quanta, you can either sideload it in TWRP or flash it as a regular zip file. I've also added an option to flash it directly using QT.

I've taken the occasion to updated QT to 4.2.2, I wanted to add a feature that was bugging me when I didn't want to add another app yet again on my devices for it (My custom ROM doesn't support it natively) Here's the changelog:

V4.2.2 (11/06/16):

- Added Wireless ADB as a tweak

- Added the possibility to clean up your ramdisk

- Possibility to choose between a Toast and a notification after booting

- Misc Improvements/fixes

Releases are available on QW and BasketBuild. QT should be available shortly on the Play Store.

Enjoy!! :)

I upgraded the new Kernel by QT but it seems not to wipe dalvik and cache.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] akash3656:
I don't see why you need to wipe dalvik/cache after installing a kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
This and flashing by QT doesn't wipe /cache and dalvik cache, so it is normal if you have this happening.

Often on installation instructions on Kernel-Threads there is the info to make it and so I use to do that. If it is ok to install it without wiping dalvik it is ok for me too.

Cool!

Just to confirm, does V17 maintain the 2 cores online only configuration from V15 and V16?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] MtG92:
I thought the security patches came from the rom side. Does this mean that v17 is more secure than other older kernels?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
Yep that's correct!

The rom side fixes some stuff related to the os. (example mediaserver) their patches are on AOSP.

However proprietary related stuff are fixed in both kernel and possibly the proprietary userspace drivers.

In this case, the patches are mostly kernel related but could have been patched in vendor files as well.

I came over from another popular kernel to Quanta and I really like the simplicity of it. The other kernel had a plethora of options that was a little overwhelming, not to mention battery life seemed to suffer. With Quanta, battery life is at least as good as the stock CM13 kernel, which is to say (in my case) was good. Now I have a good base to play from and start to get a bit better performance, at the cost of battery of course, but still I'm not happy until I break something.

Good job on this kernel. I may stay awhile
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sacob:
does that mean that my phone wont use more than two cores no matter what?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
Not really. It only means that most of the time it will run at 2 cores because of the presets I have put into the hotplug driver. It will still be able to wake up the other 2 cores when it feels the need to.

I did think of remaking the current status section on QT which is kinda static at the moment. (with the exception of the updater) Though nothing has been planned yet. I may begin to think about the design soon. :)

Also now we're in that subject guys, is there something that you would like to see? (No KA-like feature, we already have KA that does it...)

Hi Guys,

I am going to explain you all how to root your Mi3, Redmi1S or Redmi Note - Indian version - Works on other variants too - Tested on Singapore, Malaysia and TD too. This may work with other Country ROM's also. If you are successful please let me know & the method u followed. :good:

This is so far the easiest method to gain root on your MI Device - Even a Noob can do it :laugh:.

1. Download the follwing zip file and rename it to "update.zip"

2. Put these files on in the SD card of your phone. - Not inside other folders i.e on ur root of sd card.

3. Now open Updater app, click menu - select "select update package option". Then select the "update.zip" and update. Now your phone will ask you to reboot. Select reboot now.

4. Reboot your system now. Go to Security app - Permissions - Root permission - Turn on. U have root access now. (Screenshot for the same has been attached below - Just for Help).

Questions:

- I copied over a few mp3's. In the HTC music app I see there is a way to turn off getting album art, etc. Anyway, out of 10 songs, 3 of them got tagged with correct album art, correct band. The rest show up in an unknown folder. Any way to stop or fix it? Now that I turned off album art, should I delete the songs and put them back again?

- I have a 1,5A car charger. Do you think it's safe to use mp3 and GPS for an 8 hour drive or do you think I'm best to stick with just GPS? I'm not using bluetooth as I only have 3.5mm jack in my car.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] deakelem:
1 - id force stop the music app and clear all data from it and when you reopen it turn off album art and see if you get no album art anyways, it could be that your mp3 have meta data that contain the album art.

2 - i see no problem with this..are you concerned about heat? or it drawing too much power? I've never had an issue doing both of the above mentioned things and using a charger, go for it. Ive driven from NY to TX using gps and audio through my car through 3.5 and never had any issues with any phones i had.
