Quick question: Does it work on 5.1 roms? (cuz i've tried some other kernels for 5.0.x and resulted in bootloops), also, is this a kernel that should be used as it is or more of one for tweaking? Thx.

Right now, all the 5.1 ROM's for mako uses 5.0.1 blobs. All 5.0 kernels should work. But you can end having problems with the ROM it self. Like Euphoria, the DEV's stopped updating the ROM until Google releases 5.1 for mako, because users were having several problems (including random reboots).

And the default setting of Matr1x are pretty good.

Wheatley is ondemand based governor, correct? So I guess I should use it over ondemand? Thx again

Try both governors and see what fits you best. Here is information about Wheatley governor.

23: Wheatley:

Building on the classic 'ondemand' governor is implemented Wheatley governor. The governor has two additional parameters. Wheatley works as planned and does not hinder the proper C4 usage for task where the C4 can be used properly. So the results show that Wheatley works as intended and ensures that the C4 state is used whenever the task allows a proper efficient usage of the C4 state. For more demanding tasks which cause a large number of wakeups and prevent the efficient usage of the C4 state, the governor resorts to the next best power saving mechanism and scales down the frequency. So with the new highly-flexible Wheatley governor one can have the best of both worlds.

Wheatley is a more performance orientated governor as it scales more aggressively than ondemand and sticks with higher frequencies.

Hello all,

I hope you are doing well.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to dedicate any time to kernel development over the past few months due to work and life.

Also, I have got further bad news. A few days ago my Nexus 4 died (EMMC hardware failure) and I have decided to move on to the
Nexus 6.

I can provide you guys with a Matr1x v15.0 as soon as possible, so that I can end my Nexus 4 journey on a clean version number :)

Thank you all so much for all the support and patience with my releases, and I hope to see some of you all on the Nexus 6.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
mathkid95

Will you wait until android M will be released?

Hello, I'm using v14.5-cm for my N4 with the latest CM12 (march 16th).
USB OTG doesn't seem to work. It worked fine with previous versions of Android/Matr1x. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks.

Just wishing this kernel had cpu overclocking and gpu voltages adjustement. Otherwise this kernel is almost perfect.
 

LAmt!

Horribly late but still excited: anyone got the file or a mirror? the original post matr1xkernels.com seems to be down. Any leads to LP and above OC Kernels or this one appreciated. Thanks in advance

Nexus 4 CM 12.1 otg Support.

Hi everyone. I'm currently on CM 12.1 (actually downgraded from CM 13 Because of this problem) I tried flashing many kernels to make otg work. The developer claims that this kernel supports otg. But how do I enable it? Can anyone explain? I'm not a developer. I know it very late to ask this question. I have succeeded in Kitkat version using ziddeys moded kernel. I have this Y cable which needed. Pls help me in this matter

    v1.0 Initial release: stock 3.4.0 kernel with added deadline I/O scheduler tweak.

    v1.5 Added overclocking capabilities to 1.728 Ghz.

    v2.0 Removed OC capabilities, added GPU OC to 450 Mhz, 100mV UV across the board, ARM CPU Topology (which improves the efficiency of multi core devices), and various performance tweaks.

    v2.5 Added SIO I/O Scheduler, touch screen improvement tweaks (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2027476 and extra tweak by faux123), UV'ed all cores and frequencies by an extra 50mV for a -150mV overall, and switched to the AnyKernel template. (thanks _motley!)

    v3.0 Reverted the extra 50mV of UV that caused instability and added faux123's voltage control interface for manual voltage adjustments.

    v3.5 Added the reduced msm_hsic_host wakelock tweak, ROW I/O Scheduler, removed thermald to allow kernel to manage the heat using its own drivers, some ondemand governor tweaks, tweaked ARM CPU topology, and lowered the minimum voltage for voltage control interface (test your phone's limits).

    v4.0 Reduced the minimum voltage for voltage control interface even more (test your phone's limits), added the CPU Voltage table for "faster" binned chips (still -100mV UV), added Fast Charge, added a 288 Mhz CPU step for better battery when idle, and added the BLX mod (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257497).

    v4.5 Added the proper reduced msm_hsic_host wakelock tweak, fixed the "faster" CPU table (users who have "faster" chips should have no trouble now), added showp1984's Sweep2Wake, and partially reverted a display tweak from Google (this should provide a bit better display color than stock).

    v5.0 Added Sweep2Wake gestures by faux123 with the touch events patch (no more frozen touch screens), switched to the GCC 4.7 compiler from Google, removed mpdecision and added _thalamus hotplug driver, and added the min_online_cpus module capability for the hotplug driver.

    v5.5 Removed the 450 Mhz GPU OC and bumped it up to 487.5 Mhz, added thermal tweaks (to manage phone temperature) by franciscofranco, updated the interactive governor and ROW I/O scheduler to the latest version, and tweaked the auto hotplug driver for better battery life.

    v6.0 Fixed the msm_hsic_host wakelock once and for all (You may still see it but it shouldn't be running that much), added PGM support (thanks to bponury), and added faux123's gamma control interface.

    v6.5 Tweaked auto_hotplug to try to further improve battery life, removed Sweep2Wake (attempt to solve any touchscreen freezing issues), updated ROW I/O Scheduler, removed some CPU frequency steps (only kept the useful steps), added the FIOPS I/O Scheduler, and added the PA tweaked display colors.

    v7.0 Merged the Android 4.2.2 kernel code, added the final PA colors from molesarecoming, added _motley's generic color control interface to allow easier scripting, and _motley's tweak to allow color changes to be "refreshed" automatically.

    v7.5 Fixed the PGM touch control issue, added faux123's speaker amp control mod, added franciscofranco's accuracy filter control mod, updated the ROW I/O scheduler to the latest version, and added several ondemand governor update patches.

    What's up guys... this is the first release of the Matr1x kernel for N4. I am starting off real simple (I set deadline as the default I/O scheduler and tweaked some values)

    There is much more to come!

    Also, I will start posting the kernels at www.matr1xkernels.com soon... for now please use the mediafire link. You can flash this in recovery.

    Alright, 4.3 kernel out! Enjoy!
    44
    Kernel update! Matr1x now supports 4.4.3 ROMS!

    Some things to note:

    1. Voltages have been raised by 25mV to account for freezing issues. Remember, ymmv.

    2. I prefer stratosk's d2tw/touch wake implementation, so I've switched to that.

    I know some of you f2fs users are going to start posting about that, so let me address that too. Before
    adding that to the kernel, I need to thoroughly test it and see whether it has a major benefit. So far,
    I'm not seeing much benefit to it but I will keep testing. Please do not post about that, thanks!

    Hopefully you guys enjoy this one. Happy flashing!

    Hey guys,

    Like chappy824 said, we are currently testing v11.0.

    I've decided to make some changes to how I'm going to put out the kernel zips.

    From now on, there won't be AOSP and CM versions anymore, as I am going to
    adopt the AnyKernel method for kernel zips. Now there will be just two zips:
    non-GPUOC and GPUOC.

    Hopefully this clears much of the confusion on which zip to flash.

    Thanks!
