Kernel discussions - Nexus 5 General

I think stock kernel is the best. Every kernel I tried had some kind of lag at some point. Now I am back to the stock kernel and it is smooth as butter. Google got it right the first time. How is it for you guys ?

I am running Franco r14 smooth as butter. I would try using Nova launcher, I do agree with you that the GEL launcher is a bit laggy on custom kernels.

so for me on francos kernel the keyboard is super laggy

I love Trinity kernel, I've been using it for two years on my Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Nexus 4 and now Nexus 5.
B11 on the stock ROM (odexed and rooted with ART enabled) is sleeping better than the stock kernel did and the performance is amazing, which is to be expected considering it's Trinity.
@morfic just does something special... And the community around Trinity is the best on xda.

eventually, but it wont be the same as franciscos.

This thread will become a kernel fans thread lol. Anyways running franco since forever no lags at all after r11. Op you are right somehow though, custom kernels have to save some extra juice from somewhere, so devs try to find it at the expense of performance.

Clear improvement over stock running Faux's latest.

Bit of lag? Adjust governor parameters.

I would assume that the reason for lag is that many custom kernels disable mpdecision in a quest for better battery life.

At this stage what do you expect? Give it a while and then you'll find the stock kernel "laggy".
I like to keep things stock myself, but on my 2012 Nexus 7 I can't stand the stock kernel.

the stock kernel run smooth and great
the only thing I'd like to have is tap 2 wake but I don't like the other custom crap

Why is that? I did have lag using the latest Faux kernel and switching back to the ondemand governor fixed most of it, but I did keep the Intelliplug Hotplug driver on. How does enabling/disabling mpdecision affects battery life and stability?

back in the day with the captivate one of the early developers tested different cross compilers and the effects on wake time. i think that might have a little to do with it. most people are using the linaro compiler these days and it is good, i notice the difference on my other phone using linaro but my other phone never quite feels as good as it did stock with wake time. it may be possible that an older compiler may be better for some things. i tend to feel modded kernels do feel a little glitcy and this could be one area to look at. good news is that the sources have to be posted so you can compile your own version of someones kernel with different compilers or options to test things. maybe remove a commit or two...

Mpdecision ramps up the CPU instantly to 1ghz when a touch event occurs. This makes for a much smoother UI in general, but obviously would use a tiny bit more battery than if the phone were to stay at min clocks.

Fed up with stock 4.2 (ROM suggestions)

I lived my nexus 7 on 4.1 but man 4.2 build is so bad. It is almost unusable to me. It is laggy and buggy with freezing all the time. Any suggestions on something very stable, close to stock? How is cyanogenmod? Ideas would be appreciated. Looking to root tomorrow I can't take this any longer.

Strange how peoples experiences differ
I use stock rom 4.2 and never ever have any kind of lag or freezing of any kind - everything works 100% and buttersmooth constantly
I never have to reboot or anything, it just runs for months and not even once have I had any lag or problems
Try a 4.1 rom, CM 10.1 is your best bet, but im not familliar of this device roms.

People have problems with 4.2 if they have old applications that are not updated for 4.2, don't clean their cache, or don't trim their storage.
Any complaints about battery life are due to applications requesting data synch or location. Those wake the Nexus up, and can be turned off.
4.2 is fine for me.

I had similar issues in stock 4.2, tried about 3 others before settling on cm10.1, which runs smooth as can be for me with good battery life.
Seems like the these things are pretty finicky and everyone's handles different ROMs differently.

I love sparksco's saber mod ROM (4.2.1). It's very smooth and has excellent battery life (10%/hr screen-on time + 10%/day). The supplied kernel is great but I prefer metallice's m-kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 7
That's exactly why I finally decided to root and rom. I did like the 4.2 features so I was shooting for one that incorporated those (dual-sided notification bar, etc.)
Paranoid Android nailed it for me. It feels just like stock 4.2 but is wayyyy smoother, wayyyy less problematic and has a ton of customization options.
I gave cyanogenmod and a couple others a chance first but Paranoid Android definitely has my vote.

If you have the latest version of jb and it is so bad you can barely use it than you need an RMA.. While it out may have some minor bugs I used it for a long time and loved it... I only switched to paranoid because I love the pie..
It sounds like a hyperbolic exaggeration to me. If not your device is faulty.. or you have some really bad apps messing things up..

what are you running on your nexus 7

eactly what are you running on your nexus 7, rom, kernal and launcher and are you rocking any other mods or tweaks with this combination. the device is not brand new most people may have found something that works well for them by now.
ChameleonOS with Chameleon Launcher, and Trinity Kernel have become my Daily Drivers.
No Lag, games play well, videos play well with XBMC and MXPlayer.
Haven't found any need for any tweeks, N7 has been running beautifully.
I'm running this.
I've tried almost every popular ROMs on xda and finally I stick with Purity ROM because
1. It's one of smoothest I've ever tried and it smooth because it's really smooth not by change the way launcher animate and animation speed like in some other ROMs.
2. It's contains only function I want like Pie, Expanded desktop and choose-able status bar show or hide for example.
3. It's can have a really good benchmarks score if you're run it along with some good custom kernels.
4. It's not only fast in benchmarks score but it's also fast in term of real-feel as well.
And for a kernels my choice would be
1. M-Kernel if I want overall performance and best battery life.
2. Faux kernel if I want overall performance (a little bit overall smoother experience).
3. Motley kernel if I want best frame-rate this kernel always give me additional 6-12 fps compare to all the others.
All above is just my personal taste and experience.

Unpredictable performance?

Sometimes my phone is very smooth, but every now and then it will suddenly act like a single core phone, this is particularly noticeable if I play a game, it will be smooth usually but when this happens it lags like hell, home stutters and multitasking problems are also present. I've tried everything, deleted system/bin/thermald and overheat control apk, lowered the go max speed load of the CPU, increased readahead size, changed to deadline scheduler... The list goes on! I'm on the latest JB firmware and have a locked BL, any roms that don't have these random lag spikes? Or any other fix? I'll even revert to ICS if its more stable, I did this on my LG before

how the hell is that possible?!!!!!!
i have the same issue, especially on JB
everytime i turn the phone on, i just HOPE to be the PERFORMANCE time!!!
sometimes it is SMOOTH, sometimes it lagges, especially in games
you know, having Performance governor is not a real solution, it will drain battery the worst way possible, we have to know the reason, since i've done whatever you said as well,EVERYTHING, and yes, when i put in performance mode, it's ok..
any idea about the culprit?

EGG ZAKT LY!!!
when i was on ICS, the games were amazing, no lag whatsoever to call ISSUE, but unfortunately, the lag was INSIDE OF OS, even the phonebook, dialer, messaging, all of the system apps, started slowly, but the gaming performance was awesome, on the other hand, in JB, the whole UI and OS is just smooth and beautiful, but games are awful
BTW, how do you modify GPU governor? i thought we could only change CPU
Well its settled, I'm moving to ICS to compare. Is there any ICS ROM where I can avoid using flashtool? Anyway about the GPU gov, use trickster mod kernel settings

the difference is quite HUGE, at the very moment of entering the game, it's total new world...
so, in this case, in which your preferred gaming console is your phone, go for ICS, the UI lags a bit, and i repeat, A BIT, but gaming is brilliant, just like it doubles the graphic power, i've tested NFS MW on both platform, ICS EASILY outperforms JB
hope you'll have good time there, in ICS

Try different kernel and different combination of scheduler and governor. Every kernel have a "performance" governor.
Btw don't forget that the benchmark are not really representative of the true performance of a device.
It is always good to have some big numbers, but some benchmark apps can be hacked easily to show to incredible scores (and in particular Quadrant).

Did you install CM nightlies? I heard they are more bug-free and has better performance than RC versions.By the way, don't expect any custom ROMs to be faster than stock ROM for the moment, most of them has a lot of bugs or performance issues, stock ROM is the best choice for now.

With the cyanogenmod 10.1 playing dead trigger and other games i get no fps drops at all! And with cm 10.1 theres no freaking brightness temperature control ****, thats in v20a. Now i can see the screen in sun to! :laugh: Back to cm for me again!

The screen dim can be disabled by renaming or deleting /system/bin/thermald. Which kernel are you using? I find CM to be laggy in my games, there are exceptions though, NFS MW is very smooth, but NOVA 3 and modern combat are very laggy

What other games do you play? Which version of CM?

I play NFS MW lag free, i have not installed so much more heavy games yet, since i flashed cm today latest 07/02 nightly.

Hmm those two ran OK anyway, gamelofts titles have tegra 3 issues anyway but CM seems to worsen the effect

Nexus 7 Battery Saving Kernel *Need Testers*

i have compiled a nexus 7 kernel similar to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903304 but for 4.3 roms the main theory for this kernel is less heat and more battery (i was able to get 7 1/2 Hours SOT With 2 Days Standbye)
These Are The Features
1.vdd_core/vdd_rail ,emc, pll_c, host1x, GPU, CPU Pre Undervolted
2. CPU LP Overclocked To 666MHz
3. Speed of GPU 2d/3d/vde etc set at 400 mhz (close to stock of 416) (Also 228MHz GPU Step Decreased To 215MHz)
4. 1300MHz Quad Core Patch
5. Min Backlight Level 5
6. host1x Underclocked From 260MHz To 255MHz
7. Some MISC. Tweaks
8. FSYNC TOGGLE
Tell Me What Your feedback Before i make a thread in development section
it has Mkernel Ramdisk So it should boot on all roms ive only tested cm10.2 though (i will not be adding voltage control as i think this kernel has a good undervolt 75-100mv undervolt on all frequencies)
Enjoy

Any sauce? I would like to look at the changes on git before flashing
Thanks I will probably flash it anyway

Okay no worries, just wanted to see in detail what you did exactly Cheers mate
Nice kernel for start! Always favor battery save kernels.
Keep coding and create thread in right forum. I'm sure many will be interested.
Good luck!

Been testing for quite a while now. Everything seems to be working. Extra juice from UV really helps. Do you plan on further development ?
I'm very interested.

Regular 6 hrs from nexus 7.
Has anybody actually tried kernel or am I being questioned close-minded here ?
What is the steps for the instalation?
I would like some screen shots for do it because I have a poor battery stats in my Nexus 7 3G

Not sure why you think we're being closed minded? Some people post on here claiming battery life of 11+ hours, so 7 might not be that good, alternatively you might've just increased from 7 initially to 7.5 now. Wouldn't be worth my time, given the problems I've had flashing kernels before, if the increase was hardly noticeable.
Doesn't hurt to look into stuff a bit more before we flash something completely new with little info.

Yeah but there's nothing as remote testing for a kernel. You have to try and see for yourself. All info lies in OP's post, anyway.
