Quanta Tweaks

All your tweaks are now regrouped into the app I've developped. No more hassle in tweaking 10 files/5 different apps togheter. It also has a franco.Kernel shortcut so your tweaking experience won't be stopped when trying to reach it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zaclimon.quantatweaks

It includes various tools and a beautiful user interface to enhance your experience even further!

Request for new features

Listen, I want to keep this kernel as minimalistic as possible. For this reason, I won't add any GPU OC, CPU OC, S2W,S2S, etc... DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO ASK!!

Thank you. :)

Good to see this new thread. I hope you have merged updates from the new test 212 which fixes idle battery drain for many.

Tested on latest BETA3 of ParanoidAndroid and is working good.
Is there a possiblity to see mods concerning brightness? Minimum stock brightness is too high for me, but I love Franco kernel and I don't want to change to (for example) AK Kernel that support lower brightness levels.

I ported the experimental brightness driver from stratosk which supports even lower minimum brightness. You can use the stratosk app to enable/disable it.

It is based on the official r211 but I just saw that he made some changes which is, I suppose, the test version Franco released tomorrow.

I'll try to make an update today in order to reflect those change.

Thanks for this kernel, I flashed it and everything works fine ;)

Just one question, which hotplug this kernel use ? On Synapse, MPdecision is unchecked and no other hotplug is showing.

    July treat

    Hey guys, another month, another release. This might be the last release before Nougat or the new Nexus appears. (I hope so I can finally upgrade my phone XD) It is without saying that the Nexus 4 is a really great beast on it's own. Anyways, here it is:

    V18 (16/07/16) :
    - Merged security updates for July
    - Performance improvements (From Franco's release for Flo)
    - Faster boot up (From Franco's release for Flo)

    Both releases are available on the regular release platforms.

    For QT, I know I've been slacking but it has been a bit hard to work on it. I plan to make a maintenance release before I being my work on some overhaul based on some neat stuff seen on Google I/O. :p

    Anyways, Enjoy!! :)

    EDIT: Rollout paused for the moment. Back online! Sorry for the waiting. :)

    Hope this one is good

    Hey guys, I've been pretty much silent since last week. I hope this build will fix all the issues related to the panics/watchdog that you've been having. Here it is:

    V13(09/03/16)
    - Reverted a commit related to timers that were the cause of the panics (Looks like @jolinnard was right)
    - Reintroduced Nvidia Power savings
    - Updated F2FS

    Both builds are available on BasketBuild.

    Enjoy!! :)
