I will risk it and say those freezes its bugs from 4.2 (its full of bugs everywhere) than something kernel related.

Yes I'll try to find out where to increase the throttle threshold.

That fsync toggle works or nop?

Higher throttle temperature would be awesome.

I'm not sure if you saw my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34483685 but I wanted to add that I successfully flashed build 5 last night but it is still using those aggressively high clock speeds. Screen on battery drain is just very excessive for me. I'm starting to wonder if my battery is bad.

Check out the battery drains in this screenshot!

I think quadrant and linkpack is only using two of the cores on android 4.2. If you look at the scores they compare perfectly with the dual core s4 scores.

The droid DNA uses the same chip and it beats the N4 in every bench mark. By alot. The N4 kernel needs work.

I hope Franco can confirm/deny this but I don't think the clockspeed of the phone matters too much for battery life, I've tried many different variations of clockspeeds on my GNex and other Android devices before it and I've never really had vast batterylife improvements lowering clock speeds. Even undervolting isn't too useful.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478406&highlight=undervolting.

There are more things to improve battery life rather than underclocking and undervolting. I really don't notice a difference doing either of those. Not 100% sure about this but from experience and reading random things here and there about it, don't see a reason to bother with adjusting clock speeds.


Just my 0.2c :)
Then use the performance governor 24/7..... and make sure the processor never sleeps as well as raise all voltages to the same voltage for every frequency since it never makes a big difference. What are you going to lose like 5 mins of battery life anyway?

I've been watching CPU core speeds and use but only 2 cores are ever used it seems like

That could be the thermal throttling going on that's been mentioned. Benchmarks increased radically when placed in a freezer which tells me that some serious temperature throttling is hindering that performance. Regardless, as is the phone is fantastically smooth and by no means a loser on performance.

I agree. I want knocking the N4. By far best phone I've owned. Just mentioning it. Look at the pic I'm attaching.

First Reboot

So my phone stayed hours just charging (not plugged on a computer), I unlocked it, I had a notification telling me that there was an update for a game it went to the playstore and the phone was stucked and then rebooted
The only change I did was to set fsync on 0 (but hours before)

Franco,
just wondering if color adjustment is something even possible with the N4 on an IPS display. Seems that everyone is thinking that the washed out colors can be tweaked by a kernel developer.

So I just want your opinion on this. Is it even possible?
