Hi all,
I am using a rooted n7.
I have over clocked my galaxy s2 to 1.5ghz before, but I am not sure what is a safe level to over clock the n7 to.
What is a is is for battery life and performance?
And which kernel do u guys recommend
?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

I run trinity kernel on my Gnex and N7 and on my N7 I keep it stock speeds because I've seen no reason to realistically OC it. Most of the improvements I see are from the kernel software changes over stock. You can OC to 1.6 safely but I'm not sure of the power usage difference but I'm pretty sure the loss in power isn't worth the gain from OCing.

I have mine at 1.6 just for the hell of it, I get a good 4 or 5 hours of continuous usage out of it.

For the benefit of the community, can you tell us any major changes at 1.6 GHz?
Is there anything noticeably faster?
Hi, I have a related question but can't post since I'm new.
Using the glazed rom which i like but it apparently has gpu overclock. I would like to know how to adjust that back to stock setting or at least see what it currently is. I found the CPU section but there is no gpu I can see.
Is there a tool I can use?
Sorry for the hijack...at least its sort of on topic
IMO over clocking is a gimmick, its the kernel build

My thoughts exactly. I play some light games and web browse on my Nexus 7.
For those purposes, my Nexus 7 is already extremely fast, so I don't think I would be able to notice if it was over clocked.
But I guess it depends, maybe there's a big difference when running GPU heavy games.
I have OC mine upto 1640 MHz for bench marking alone for half and hour or probably more and it went fine although the tablet was getting warmer more than usual.

Hi,
I decided to flash trinity kernel.
I am currently OC to 1.5yghz, is that a safe level to keep it at full time? Or can that burn the cpu out?
Thanks again
Cheers
Corey
Edit,
I over clocked my galaxy s2 ages ago, and I noticed a huge difference in performance.
So that is why I want to over clock my n7 too lol

there is no such thing as a safe overclock. overclocking, by nature, carries some risk. that said, i havent seen anyone brick their device from overclocking.

Just wondering
Why do you feel the need to OC?
I go to 1.6 but use the Trinity App to go back to stock when OC not needed
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I have not over clocked the Nexus 7 yet but one way to test your devices max is to use setcpu. Make sure you do not have "set on boot" option selected. Then step up your cpu. If your cpu can not handle the over clock it will force restart. If you do not have the set at boot selected it will revert back to the last good state on restart.
Each device is different on what it can handle for over clock.

To be honest I doubt you'll notice much increase from oc the CPU since the CPU already is so powerful nothing pushes it to max really.
Only thing worth overclocking is GPU really. And at that, your not going to notice a difference unless your playing some intense games.
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows a setting in the latest kernel (008-tbm) that affects wireless charging. I am on stock ROM with only this kernel installed. Wireless charging worked fine until I installed this kernel, so I know something is goofed up with my kernel settings. I'm UV -12.5 mV global

try raising your voltages, undervolting can have create such issues. every device is different in what it likes and dislikes.
OK thanks for the help guys. I'll try that right away. Right now it'll show as charging for about five minutes and then for some reason will stop.

OK I tried that and it didn't work, I'm using the intellidemand governor and all of the rest of faux123's recommended settings. My CPU bin is nominal if that helps any.

Posts like yours are more annoying than the original threads.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
you should try a different kernel, just to make sure. it takes seconds to flash a kernel, so that shouldnt be an issue. if it works fine with another kernel, then the issue is the kernel. if the same issue persists, then its your rom or device.

Yeah I'm on faux's kernel as well with no wireless charging problems. There's a good chance that it might be stopping because your battery is getting too hot. Do you have daydream enabled? Does your phone feel hot when charging?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I just got it working for about 30 minutes and my phone is super hot. It's never been this hot before so I'm gonna try a new kernel and see what happens like someone said earlier to narrow it down if it's the kernel for sure
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
What charger are you using? Some do not work well with the N4.
I have used several different kernels and none have affected the wireless charging. My phone gets up to 41°C while charging wirelessly so getting hot is not unusual.
I'm using the official nexus charging orb from Google play. I just flashed a new kernel and wireless charging seems to be back working. I'm gonna give it another hour just to make sure before I make any assumptions
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
One weird thing I did notice though is that on faux kernel I could not UV past -50mV without my phone rebooting, making my lowest clock of 384Mhz at 850mV. However I'm on harsh kernel right now and it shows that my lowest clock is at 800mV stock without any adjustments and is working fine. Would that make any sense? I know the governors could possibly be more or less harsh on the battery but shouldn't the failure value resulting in rebooting be the same no matter what governor or kernel you use? I'm by no means an expert as to why I'm asking
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Is not unheard of to not be stable at the same voltages with different kernels. Also if you were using one of the kernels with turbo boost your chip may have needed a higher voltage for the higher frequencies. Or not, I don't know lol.
Glad your charger is working now. I like Harshes kernel.
Can you refer me to a kernel that's out of the box ready to go? To be honest I am pleased with the stock kernel, which i am using, but I want a mod to make the in ear headset volume louder and supposedly I can't do that on stock kernel. So I need something close.
When I look through faux and Franco threads I get overwhelmed with all the settings and interfaces talked about.
Another thing is I like stock Google colors, not the darker ones a lot of the devs have been updating to.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Go with Faux To the best of my knowledge if you flash Faux's kernel you retain stock Google color presets until you choose to tweak them via Faux's kernel management apps (you can also revert to Google presets via his app after experimenting with colors yourself). He does have an enhanced stock kernel if you want to keep as close to stock as possible.
As for volume or speaker settings he's got you covered there as well--check out his apps on GPlay. You don't have to feel overwhelmed because he does provide you with "recommended" settings on the various sliders & knobs within the app interface. And the enhanced performance & battery life you'll get is just gravy. Good luck!

With either Franco or Faux's kernel, no need to be overwhelmed by all the settings. They work just fine using the default settings out-of-the-box, and you can just change the settings that interest you.
Use Franco kernel. It's been amazing so far. Everyone is impressed with battery life and all. You don't need to mess with the settings. Just run as is.

If anything, some kernels could probably be better for you.
Thanks allot both of you guys. I've been going from phone to phone flashinshing cynagonmod on almost all of them. Till I finally got a nexus 4 but was not so happy with battery. But will be flashing a new kernel. Also I'm running pacman ROM on it so and vice for kernels??????

Hi everyone,
I posted a few months back whether I should buy a Nex 4 or not. Now that I did, I have another Q.
With my old Galaxy S, i HAD to root and install ROMs cuz it was reaaaally slow. Now, with the Nex 4, it's super fast that I'm not even thinking about ROMing it any time soon. However, I was wondering about rooting it. Does rooting affect the speed? it made my GS faster. Will it do the same for the Nexus?
Thanks.
Just rooting won't actually do anything but installing the right apps will. Of course if you overclock it it will get faster, but personally I underclock it to save battery. I'd say it is definitely worth rooting it. You never know you might feel like installing a ROM later so it can't hurt to root now. Basically everything rooting did to your GS it will do to your N4 but the nexus is already fast.

I'd suggest a kernel change at least. The stock kernel made my phone very hot sometimes and the battery life sucked.
Unlock bootloader, root, start modding and theming, or flash custom rom, have fun, and ignore all the idiot trolls here.

Same situation here, from Galaxy S to Nexus 4... well, I've rooted, installed Franko Kernel... and here stops my modding, now enjoying the speed . The only problem is that now every phone I touch, feels slower compared to the nexus

To each his own.
I rooted my Gnex the first day I got it. Although I plan on staying stock for awhile on the N4 since my favorite custom rom (CM) seems to be a bit glitchly atm.
What I did for an while was run stock-rooted for a bit. I turned ALL animations in Dev Options to .5 and my phone was flying! Quick to menus, opening and closing apps, and saving RAM. Battery life was great considering I'm a stickler when it comes to WiFi and Data toggled. Than I would run either PACman or Paranoid Android. Both were fluid experiences. But nothing beat Stock Rooted speeds.
It just matters what you're looking for. Try ROMs out, there's plenty of them out there! Good luck and happy rooting!

Honestly I thought exactly like you when I first got this phone but I eventually decided to root and install custom ROMs and I like my phone a lot better. I think you should
