Re: [KERNEL][3G+WIFI][4.2.1] M-Kernel - a36

Pandora for 4 hours with constant updating on Facebook as I was doing homework on the laptop. Also some words with friends, sudoku, and an hour of note taking in class with my 7.

Butter that lasts forever...a36 touchdemand min max at 204/1200, everything else normal. PA 3.0

Forgot to add another screen, had a glitch in battery graph, tablet had sod or turned itself off in my backpack sometime today.

I'm not sure if you know, but all of the Rapidshare links are down, so I can't seem to download any of your kernels :(

Does anyone have a mirror I could download it from? I'm looking to try it out :)

How about real test (no screen off and wi - fi on) turn off your tablet when you don't use it. I got 10 hours of pure work (1.3 - 2 cores). What is your results?

I'd like to pose a basic simple question, somewhat:

For general good performance and battery life, using a36 and Paranoid Android 3.0, is the recommendation simply to use the defaults that Trickster Mod shows for this kernel and be done with it? I know I can tweak this, tweak that, change this, change that, till I'm blue in the face, but I really ain't interested in going that far. Over the years I've tweaked till I'm blue in the face and then some twice over squared times half infinity and to be honest, I'm just flat out sick of doing it. :)

I know what I'm asking is pretty much common sense stuff considering the defaults exist for a good reason, but I figured it can't hurt. I was using franco.Kernel for a few days but I think based on what I've read and learned from this voluminous thread full of content that M-Kernel truly is the best Nexus 7 kernel... at least for me and my usage. ;)

It's only common sense if you are pragmatic and not fixated on maximum performance or battery, so given that you seem sensible, my response is that defaults get you close to the magic point on the curve, at least with this kernel. You could undervolt the mpu settings a little and reduce cpu min/max a couple levels, and you might get some additional battery life, but unless you can't charge the tablet easily and conveniently, it's not worth the effort. The dev has done a really great job of finding the sweet spot with a36 with PA, so I'd enjoy the combination and using the tablet. :)

Like you I've spent too much of life tweaking stuff and eventually realized that while the benchmarks might be slightly better, usability wasn't. It depends on the hardware and OS. I've spent more time tweaking kernels with GS3 phones because their battery usage is not good stock and needs help even with custom stuff.

Hi everyone! I'm new to m-kernel and so far it's working nicely, but I have a question that's bugging me and didn't manage to read about it in the OP or while searching for "brightness" (at least in the most recent posts).

I installed the kernel after a clean install of Paranoid Android 3.0, but I consider the minimum autobrightness WAY too low. I read about "Root Dim" but couldn't figure out how to override the minimum brightness while leaving autobrightness on. I mean, it's so dark I can barely see anything, even in a fully dark room. Is there a way to configure this? I would like only to raise the minimum autobrightness, the stock one was okay for me. I wouldn't like to give up on autobrightness by using the static one.

Thanks a lot for reading this, and thanks in advance for the help!

Every display is different in their brightness curve. My first N7 got really dark around 4 and the display would shutoff at 3. My current one goes all the way down to 2, which is still much brighter than my first, and shuts off at 1. I had a defective one that I RMA'd whose display would shut off at 13, meaning it would shut off under normal use on stock kernel.

I would consider your display however, if it is really dim at 8 (the current min), to be "partially" defective, (or at the very least well outside of the bell curve) and there's not much I can do about that other than recommend an app like lux.

    How would you guys feel about me closing this thread and starting a new one in Android Original Development? It technically belongs there anyway, and I wouldn't mind reserving a couple more posts in the beginning for a FAQ and other stuff. Hopefully to stop any more "Why is my min stuck at 340MHz?!?" and others like it :)

    Now, on to my status with this -
    As a quick fix, I will revert this patch for the next build. This should hopefully solve all issues with a33 including, but not limited to, SODs, reboots, and increased battery drain in LP1 (too little voltage, but not little enough to cause freezes/reboots, has been shown to actually cause increased battery drain as compensation).

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to whip up a quick fix for a couple reasons.

    For one, I have other responsibilities. I had a Physics midterm early today and had to spend time reviewing and studying. Also, my father purchased a new HDTV (very nice one, super jealous) and I had to help him go pick it up and transport it, unpack it, remove the old, gigantic, heavy as f---, rear projection DLP HDTV, set up/secure/mount the new one, situate all the cables with the FIOS box/DVD/AV receiver/Surround sound, reprogram the universal remote, set up the new smart tv capabilities with the internet and their internet video services, update the TV software, set up the 3d and 3d glasses, and teach them all how to use the new stuff.

    Second, my computer broke. The graphics card started acting up, kept getting messages about it failing and successfully restarting until it no longer would successfully restart. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and the whole kitchen sink, but the card was dead and there was no way around it. Aren't laptops with their all-fused components wonderful :rolleyes:? To be honest four years is a decent run for a cheap 4-yo HP. Anyway, I need a computer for school so I got a new one as an early birthday present.

    So I have a new computer now. First of all it's a macbook so I'm going to have to learn how to use OSX for one thing and get everything set up, and I'm going to have to re-make my kernel build environment from scratch which will take some time.

    So hang tight please!
