Do you think it's possible to route 2 of the cores to language etc.. Like the Moto X ? Seems like if possible it would also help dramatically with battery life.

Marketing garbage that's all. Its a dual core chip with some off die voice "core"
Oh the tegra 3 was a 17core OMG!! Let's count the radios as cores to eh moto...
Good point lol

How do I know that both cores are working and activated ?
Is there a program which reports processors status ?
Thanks.

Core 1 avg usage - 43%
Core 2 avg usage - 4%
does android useage of the cores is so bad ?
So why do I need 4 cores when even the seconed one is used so poorly ?
Or is there some kind of magic kernel switch which makes the cores usage more equal ?
Running on kingdroid v2 ROM trying several kernels.
Thanks for any info

You should ask for the kernel in another post so the question will be probably read by more people...
I don't think there is a kernel like that btw but it would be interesting to try something like that

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

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.

GPU
its because the adreno 320 is a much better gpu then tegra 3 i think its about 2.5x stronger so if gameloft put max graphics on nexus 7 it would lag
Wrong by a long shot!!! Tegra is one of the best CPU's around, just gotta tweak it. Also for your answer try a different ROM and kernel. Should help!!

I own both a nexus 7 and N4 and the nexus 4 is a lot faster even with the n4 CPU @800 and n7 CPU @1500 its still faster than the n7 in graphics
EDIt: anyone with a brain knows S4Pro is a. much stronger soc than tegra 3 do you work for nvidia or something oh yeahs when's the last time nvidia released drivers that's right never
Is there any way to improve the graphics?

You can find modded APKs (I am not gonna link them) but 90% of the time they won't work. You can try editing some config file in the data directory. Dunno which though.
Run down after first charge with all this and more :
- Ingress which kills battery
- ChromeCasting
- YouTube and Netflix
- Feedly and Chrome
- listening to music and podcasts via Bluetooth for long periods
- Reading in Kindle
- Downloading and playing with many apps
Etc
Overall I would categorize as very heavy use. I still have 15% left and I'm thrilled.

Mobile signal is a huge battery drainer if you're in an area with poor reception, WiFi only is a huge plus for the battery.
O my. I thought i was the only one that had excellent battery life. I am currently at 8 hours standby time and 5 hours of Screen on usage and have 52% battery left. I would post a screen shot before the battery is completely drained
This may be good from gen 1, but to competition.....my mini is 5 days standby , 8hrs used with 25% left.

Granted, cell radio and modem could lead to a faster rate of battery depletion. The original nexus 7 wifi only version had a bigger battery but the battery wasn't close to the results i am currently getting on the New Nexus 7. Best guess is that the new cpu chip is highly efficient

Nexus 7 cpu is more like an underclocked snapdragon 600, than an s4 pro. It supports ddr3 ram and has krait 300 cores, unlike the n4

Incorrect. It does not use the same CPU at all. The naming scheme for Qualcomm has gotten out of whack.

You are referring to an 8inch device with a lack luster 1024x768 screen. Being 8 inches it has a larger battery as it can fit more battery than a 7inch form factor.
iPad mini battery = 4490 mah (powers crappy screen)
Nexus 7 (2013) battery = 3950 mah (powers 1920x1200 screen)
You tell me which should have more battery life?
