Just a quick question, I am currently running the latest 'Motley' Kernel and wondered if it had the high quality audio tweak enabled that I know M-Kernel among others has? If not, is there a way to manually enable it?
Thankyou,
Frenetyc.
Check the OP.

Developer for Motley Kernel is 'dead' (RIP). So does anyone know if the kernel has the high quality audio tweak? Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Exactly what are you looking for. What results are you lookin for?
There are many sound options, some dependant on kernel support, and some working on almost any kernel.

It's a kernel based tweak, something to do with turning audio compression off I think? I know a lot of kernels have it, just wondered if Motley's did?
Thanks.

M-kernel has it turned off. I don't know what other kernels have it turned off or on.
Try searching for AGC in the kernel threads.

Thankyou but I know M-Kernel has it turned off, as I said in my OP. My original post was more specifically regarding Motley Kernel, as it is my current daily runner and there is no mention of 'Automatic Gain Control' in the related thread. I wish I could just ask in the thread itself but as I am a 'n00b', I require at least ten of my own posts before I am allowed to post in the thread! but I do appreciate the 'breadcrumb' so to speak.

Sorry thought you were looking for an alternative.
If you haven't already, you might what to check out Viper4 as a sound App. It's kernel independent.

What is the best kernel overall?
The best kernel for battery improvement?

Based on my experience. For overall excellent gaming performance with good enough battery performance, I suggest M-Kernel a25 or a27. And to over clock your device after installing the kernel, use Trickster Mod from play store.

theres no best kernel, they are all good. theres only whats best for your and your devices needs. evrybody is going to say that the best kernel is the one that they use, no one is going to say that they use the worst.

Well I base it on most popular. If its popular it means its good and works most of the time. Maybe I should've used better wording?

popular doesnt mean good. try out a few, find what your device likes. every device is different and reacts differently with each kernel.

Yes you can read there, OP just updated the score. If you want to try, try trinity for best performance, m kernel for best overall. I'm using Mkernel now, really good kernel. No problem so far.

I get about 10-11ish hours "screen on" with light use on franco kernel #38
Motley kernel
i tried
Motley kernel,
Franco kernel
Trinity Kernel
Trinity is the fastest if you tweak it good..
but on the downside the most glitch..
but Morfic just released two updates in two days...
so theyre fixing it.
So im back with Trinity Kernel.
Its good..
and the only Kernel i find that you can change GPU speed, ofcourse Using
the glitchy Trinity Toolbox
I love Franco.Kernel R31. Battery life is great and performance is good as well. R38 is the newest and great, but I feel performance is a bit lacking on 38.

Closed, try them and see
I'm not much into over clocking or under volting and all that stuff, I just want a smooth kernel, without connection issues, and bug free as possible.
I only usually change I/O and governor's, which is already available on my current kernel and ROM so that's fine.
Any suggestions?
Oh, and works with AOKP

There is no "best kernel", its not a competition. Search in the Development Thread and try them out. Then choose what suits you best in terms of performance/battery.

OK, you obviously took my question out of context, let alone did you even read my question? I did search in the development thread, or else I wouldn't post this question. Out of other peoples user experience, I want to know what kernel was best for them, excluding the over clocking and undervolting features. And BTW, I'm not looking for battery specs as every user is different.
What kernel are you using at the moment? And why is it the best for you?

Oh sorry then I must've misunderstood it.
I am using Francos r51 kernel. Because.. eeerm .. the batterylife is just amazing without sacrificing performance.
These "Best kernel" threads usually get closed. Just giving you fair warning. I'm using Harsh kernel. It's great.
*obligatory there is no best kernel statement*
For 'normal' users I would recommend intersectRaven's kernel. Requires almost no user intervention - you can of course change governor and I/O scheduler - and is easily as fast as stock in performance but with much better batter.
All my opinion of course, yours may differ.
Currently I'm running AOKP with faux which is giving me the best battery life I've ever had. About 5-6 hours of screen on time!

My vote is on faux.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you're a normal user, then why do something abnormal by flashing a custom kernel? There's always a trade-off. You might gain a bit of battery life, but you're more than likely to gain a bit of quirkiness. Furthermore, some kernels like Faux's overwrite system files, whereas other kernels like Franco's use a different ramdisk. This may cause problems if you subsequently flash a kernel that replaces only the zImage (kernel) and which assumes that the ramdisk is stock.
there is no best kernel , all of those are good

I like this topic, I was actually looking for it.
I'm not an advanced user, I learnt pretty well how certain things about android work (i.e. I've used custom roms since I first started using a smartphone) but I know little to nothing about other stuff, like custom kernels.
Now... let's say that I'm not comfortable messing around too much with aspects of the kernel that I don't fully understand...
- Would you suggest a reasonably simple custom kernel that you believe is better then stock even if you don't mess around with it very much? (to me, and I believe according to iAndropple too, this is not a topic about "the best kernel")
- Would you suggest to stick with stock?
- Should I search for guides on YT or on the Internet so that I can have a better comprehension of how a kernel works, what is relatively safe to tweak and what is not?

I tend to agree with this statement, one has to try and learn, but maybe floepie is right, using a custom kernel is not the same as using a custom rom, and could be dangerous.
I know noobs like myself can be annoying, but I'm just seeking for advice and trying to learn new things here, any answer is welcome.
Thanks for the responses guys, and I'm just getting used to custom kernels, so I just want a low user based kernel, so I can learn my ways from there. I LEARNED how to flash ROMS and ADB stuff, but I didn't learn custom kernels "yet" to a full extent.
Hope you guys get what I'm saying

[KERNEL][UV][Linux 3.4.26] Harsh Kernel build Jan-22 - PGM
as describe by the dev himself " I am just sharing what I have made for myself as my daily driver." this is the best kernel imho. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048739, i have tried motley's, franco's but still the best kernel for me is Harsh's.
Hey guys, I am currently running PA but find things aren't as smooth as I would like. What is the difference between these three roms?
What are your personal preferences for each?
Oh, as well I am running the stock PA kernel for the display calibration. Does Franco kernel offer a similar calibration? I am afraid I will lose the calibration if I switch.
Thanks a ton guys!

I'll provide an answer for the Franco kernel question -> Yes and Gamma correction as well via the franco.Kernel updater application from the Play store. Also allows you to save the display color profiles as well which is always convenient.
I know you didn't say anything about this but have you taken a look at JellyBam ROM? It nicely incorporates all three ROMs into one (and among other things).

Paranoidandroid allows you to perform lots of customizations to your device like the hybrid mode it porvides in it's setting. The tablet or phablet mode. It was the pioneer that started the PIE interface. So simply said, it's made for customizations loaded with useful settings and tweaks. CM is based off stock rom.

CM is based on AOSP or Android Open Source Project. It's purely based on stock rom and that is the Team total focus point.

That's all I know. Lol. Perhaps someone else chime in more about it.
These answers are great guys thank you. I have to inquire further about the gamma correction though. If I'm clear, to get the awesome display settings that are baked into the PA kernel I will need to buy the application and fool with settings in it?
Or do the display settings come as a pre made option in the theme?

I assume you're talking about the franco.kernel updater app. Yes you can fool around with it. There are preloaded color profiles in the app that you can choose from. You can find out of that in "color control" from the app.

your kernel has a huge influence on how smooth a rom will run. if you like PA, try flashing a different kernel or a different version of the one you are using

Hey guys, I am new to the nexus 4 forum. I have expeirince with Samsung phones but not this phone.
The question i have is i got recovery installed. Found my favorite rom which is slim rom 4.3.
But when i finished flashing it i had no sound at all... I started the process with the latest version of kit kat
If that helps. I personally just don't like kit kat yet, not enough features... Thanks in advance.
I also am taking ROM suggestions. Looking for one that will help the low sound on device.
My personal suggestion... Flash hells core kernel and download FauxSound from the play store. Hells core will enable the sound levels to be changed and FauxSound is what you can use to change it.
I use this setup as I use quite high end headphones and my nexus just can't produce the volume I like through them.

Thanks for replying..
Are you using TWRP or CWM? I use the latest TWRP and never had a problem installing ROMs.
Do you experience the sound issue with other 4.3 ROMs too?
