Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N4] franco.Kernel - r34
I can also state that my feelings towards r50 & r51 aren't as strong as it's predecessors, when it comes to performance. In fact the version which suited my device the most was r46! It was a lagless beast (even more-so than r47).
That being said, the fact of the matter is that Franco just can't please every user, especially when folks are expecting more than 3 hours of battery life, even though this was near impossible to achieve upon the release of the N4 w/stock. Then again, stock kernel's performance is stellar, which is probably the reason for the shorter battery life.
Franco; have you done some comparing to your previous releases? How do you feel about r51 compared to the likes of r34, r46, r47? People definitely have their favourites, though it's all subjective. However, I think that your development stages should be about raising the bar and not recreating a brand new bar and placing it at the same height. What I'm getting at is that - it wasn't long ago that you considered r34 to be a potential milestone candidate. Then the test releases began. Since then you steered your kernel into alternate directions. This was neither a good or a bad thing. Instead each new release became a slightly different user experience.
I think, if you haven't already, now would be a great time to retrospectively consider your previous releases before moving forward. Not to please me or anybody else, but just for yourself.
What I'm saying should be taken lightly of course. This is your kernel and I appreciate your efforts. Sometimes though, it's good to remember what you did to figure out if what you're presently doing is your definitive work.
Many thanks and have a great day!
