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

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.

Yea it was off the charger for like 6 hours last night after being charged and was only down to 97%...that's good stuff.

Does anyone know a stable ROM that can significant increase the battery life on the Nexus 4? Right now I'm stock, and battery life has been terrible and doesn't even last me through the day. It is also very slow to charge on the included charger, but seems to charge faster on a Kindle Fire 1.8A I have.
Thanks!

The custom kernels in the dev section offer decent battery life.
I'm a wifi user mostly and I get @5.5 to 6 hours screen on time with lite gaming and browsing (this site all day lol).. i do Undervolt by a total of 150mV too... I recomend Harsh's kernel personally.
Underclocking the CPU is not worth it imo because it just makes other cores go online quicker when more power is needed... though it may help a small bit.
other usual tips..
use low screen brightness
turn off google now
turn off gps location
only sync stuff you really use, turn other syncs off (i have just gmail,contacts,browser synced)
turn off nfc if not using
make sure to use the open recent apps button and swipe away all apps when putting the phone down for a while (this really helps with stock kernel because of the wakelocks)
edit.. also after a week or so of charges the battery gets better.
Mpdecision is killing the battery. Try Franco kernel or faux.

Alright. My first post of course is a question. Lol. But first off gotta say thanks everyone especially all the devs. Awesome work guys. Well to the reason of this post. I just traded my note 2 for a brand new. Unopened nexus 4 16gb. And i got it rooted and running
Aokp mako. With fauxs 123 kernel. But anyways. Either inset cpu or the performance tool in main settings the kernel is getting stuck at min 1026mhz. Ive flashed three different kernels so far. A was originally on revolt rom. Did super clean installs and all. Im very familliar with samsung, and the rooting and some tweaking. But not no coding. Any help would be great. Loving the phone by the way and way too any good roms to choose from. Haha.

That could be a bug with the ROM. I would try using an app to set the CPU frequency and see if it sticks.

I tried set cpu and cpu tuner aswell. If i set a screen off profile to dumb it down it works. But with screen on it wont go down.. Thanks for the reply.

I know with the SGS3 some of the bigger kernels were ktoonsez and lean kernel. What's good for the Nexus 4?

I've been using Matr1x kernel for quite some time now. It's the best I've used. I've tried Faux and Franco and those didn't work too well for me. Try them all out though and see what works best for you.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Franco's latest kernels have been very battery friendly. They're amazing. You do kinda sacrifice (albeit super tiny) performance though.
If you care about performance more, try Motley's. His kernels are reasonably battery friendly, but doesn't sacrifice any performance.
Trinity and Matr1x are my preferred kernels due to their speed and overall stability.
Battery go for Franco.
Hmm. I think I'm gonna try out Franco. I'm on the go a lot and battery life is a bit more important to me than performance. I wish the nexus 4 was more than a 2100 battery...

Yes to be honest Franco's kernel is the only kernel I'm confident with when I go out LOL
must say though the hunt for kernels has been remedied by google, for me at least. their 4.2.2 is insane. im getting 21.800 in antutu without touching the clocking frequencies. im getting 1-2 days of use and still 4-5 hours screen on. its reliable, it wont crash or screw up otherwise and best of all i dont worry about it, at all, its enough for me to settle and think of kernels no more. only thing that really bugged me on this plattform were the colors. but thats solved now. if you wanna try: http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/mako/ start with contrasty and see if you can live with the brightness, that one has probably the nicest colors that can be possible with this panel.
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.

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

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.
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
