[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] jazzmachine:
Is it soon yet??... How bout now?... (looks at watch) now?!??

Totally messing with you... never have / never will bug any devs about ETAs! I'd actually only discovered & began running Nadia kernel on my N910T running Dynamic Kat. Not sure if you guys venture over to the T-mobile specific forum, but there's a thread in General entitled "Let's talk ROMS". For such a... touchy topic that thread turned out to be surprisingly respectful / civil and a pretty decent resource for new users to learn a few things (such as the actual experience) that people who've run the ROM would know, but can't really be determined from just reading the thread in the devdb. Anyway, over the month (approx.) that I've had my N4, I've flashed maybe 5 ROMS and most custom kernels, and various configs have resulted in

drastic

performance & battery life fluctuations. I'm back on DK so I obviously like it a lot, but I scored my highest bench on Infamous w/ Bioshock kernel which was just a few points shy of 52000. Right before I flashed Nadia I was experience probably the worst battery / performance I've ever endured (couldn't even run a bench: reboot), so it's possible that my impression of Nadia, which solved all of my problems... for the first time since getting my phone, I really felt like it was running like it should be running. Then like the day after I flashed the latest kernel, the dev announces successful compatibility with Faux Sound, making it the only kernel with that distinction! Simply awesome man.

Anyway I believe there was a guy with a Canadian Note 4 who it sounded like the issues he was experiencing were very similar to mine on the same ROM / kernel. I learned about this kernel by someone suggesting it in the DK thread to him, then he posted a couple pages back that Nadia was working amazing well for him also. I started typing up a reply to him, but then I got distracted and never finished it... anyway (sorry I don't recall who it was) but I learned about this kernel the same way you did, then I wasn't intentionally waiting for any feedback or anything, but seeing your post in this thread made the flash a much more confident one.

Luckily I had r4 DLed and stored locally on my phone, because I ended up flashing Nadia to escape a bootloop. Following that however, using my phone truly became a much more pleasant experience. Settings-wise I configured Synapse as it was in the extremely helpful video. The only things I did differently were IO schedulers (row internal, deadline ext) and turned on dynamic f-sync.

I do have a couple of questions about what the effect is of toggling a few options... first, what would be the effect on enabling PowerSuspend State on the slider? In order for that to affect anything, would the Power Suspend option have to be userspace rather than hybrid-hook? Second, I just had an issue that was caused by one of two things. For the first time since flashing this kernel, I got caught up in a pretty vicious boot-loop, which I eventually escaped by reflashing the kernel. I did two things prior to this occurring, so if anyone has any thoughts on which was the likely culprit, I'd very much appreciate your thoughts. Ok, after just running the kernel configured by Synapse for a few days, I installed 3c's System Tuner Pro (which is a part of the Android / 3c Tuner Pro package, but I bought system tuner before 3c consolidated all of his apps.) I only changed one setting: mpdecision off. I thought to install that app after reading a bunch of reviews for the DVFS Disabler module on the Play store and many recent ones were quite negative, saying that it didn't work with newer phones / firmware. I've used kernels where mpdecision state can be checked and toggled in a terminal emulator. Does anyone know if that's possible / what the syntax of the command is?

Alright, just want to finish up by reiterating my experience with the Nadia kernel; it's truly increased my overall enjoyment of my phone. Previously, it kind of seemed like one thing or another was always "off" in some way, causing either mega battery drain or a performance hit... I wouldn't say my phone has ever really run poorly, but there have been instances that the performance that I was seeing was less than what I should be seeing on the current primo phone on the market. That's how I described the kernel in my post in that other thread, "Finally using my N4 feels like what I think using an N4 should feel like :)Just want to say a huge thanks for releasing this kernel, and

congrats

for being the first dev (afaik?) to get Faux Sound / Boeffla working on the Note 4 :good: That's huge!
