[Q] Which governor does the Nexus 4 use by default? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought that Google used Interactive with "project butter" enhancements. However, when running stock, I checked an app and saw that it was running Ondemand instead of Interactive. Was this changed for the Nexus 4??

Someone must know this or at least verify what I'm seeing!

I believe most nexus devices come with a kernel that is on demand.
Here is a nice guide about governors http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017715

How do I disable Touch Booster?

Hey guys, touch booster is really annoying on this phone. It pushes the phone to 1.06GHz everytime I touch it, and is starting to bug me.
Is there anyway to keep it scaling up properly?
I'm no expert at this stuff, but isn't this fast jump in CPU clock what pretty much makes Project Butter possible?
If I understand right (and I probably don't), I think this might have to do with with governor in-use. If your rooted; try using a different governor and then touching the screen.
Great, so now people are complaining about Project Butter's features... ok
How exactly does something like this bug you?
People are getting way too picky with this phone now. Relax, its a phone guys

The CPU goes up when you touch it so it can be responsive and quick to your inputs. How is this so annoying?
If you root it you can lower the max or change the governor buy chances are you will lose much of your responsiveness.
I understand that it is good for us to discuss issues and problems but some of the things I am seeing here are just really nit picking and complaining about things that are not bad at all. We are a spoiled society of humans, some more than others i guess.

Get some CPU control app and change the minimum frequency from 1GHz to 384MHz.

Under clocking will save battery in most cases but ot will also make your phone sluggish and slow depending on how much.

That will make your phone run so slow and crappy... Why have a decent cpu if the plan is to chop it? This defeats the entire purpose of having a 1.5ghz clock speed..

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Check the meaning of "MINIMUM CPU FREQUENCY".
P.S. O and btw I'm changed it to 384MHz on my Nexus 4. AND........wait for it........my nexus 4 is not slow and crappy........woo mind blown!
What I find interesting is on the nexus 4 the governor is on demand , and the scaling range is 0mhz- 1026mhz ( you can check using CPU spy +)
However on the nexus 10 , the governor is interactive and the scaling range is 0mhz -200mhz
I wonder why that is

that app is broken.
Try No-frills CPU control, or even AnTuTu CPU Master.
Is it interactive on the nexus 4 then? I just checked on my n10 smd it still says interactive

I'm using no-frills and the default is ondemand, scaling from 1GHz to 1.5GHz.
What I changed is only the minimum frequency from 1GHz to 384MHz. Nothing more.

Nexus 10 is a dual core tablet, not a phone. Check your PC some time or laptop. They scale totally differently than a phone does.

Nexus 7 under clocking itself

My nexus 7 keeps under clicking itself to 1.5GHz from anything.
I have stock rooted with Trinity kernel 4.2 using tkt to over clock anyone have any tips

It's called 'saving power'.
As long as it doesn't lag and clocks itself up to maximum when required, there's nothing to worry about.
Or you can get some CPU clock app and set it on maximum performance. But don't be surprised if you can boil eggs on it then and the battery dies in 2 hrs :good:

clear the data for tkt and reboot. if you are using tkt, you dont need a powerhal script, since tkt runs it automatically after opening it.
Does Tegra 3 really need overclocked? Having used Tegra 2 I can say that could definitely use a little bump but so far T3 is keeping up with me and I can see a big difference between T2 and T3. Makes me wonder what T4 Wayne has in store.

does it need it.. probably not. do we want to overclock anyways.. yes! btw, its underclocked by default(its rated to 1.5ghz). i use it at 1150mhz as a daily btw.

Franco personally is not a fan of undervolting. He'll probably make sure the kernel is stable before he adds the undervolting feature. There's been a lot of ironing out going on with the kernel and adding undervolting capabilities would probably cause more trouble if its implemented now.

just got my nexus 4 but the screen looks washed out compared to my iphone 5, is there any fix for it? an app or a tweak?

Flash Franco kernel and download his app.
You can use the recommend gamma settings which are great or tweak them to your liking.

franko kernel with good performance and battery?

Hi wondering if anyone could share their setting with franko kernel that gives decent battery life and performance combine? or any tweaks with the kernel setting to improve over all? Thanks. The kernel is great btw
The values which comes with the Kernel should be good.
I think Franco himself uses these values.
Stock values are fine, but I find these allow better battery life without sacrificing performance:
384 MHz min freq
Conservative governor
100 mV UV across the board (optional)
Stock everything else

Undervolting doesn't affect battery at least not a lot. Just a little bit.
