[Q] Asphalt 8 High Graphics? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since it became free i decided to give it a spin.
I am limited to medium graphics.
I read that you could get high graphics on stock kernel + stock rom, but i dont want to have stock rom.
Im running PA 3.99 + hells-core kernel.
Is it one of these factors that is limiting me to select only medium?:
Also, i can ONLY select medium, not low or very low...
Thanks

Hells core under clocks your CPU. So the game thinks you have a lower end phone. So PA with the built in kernel should be fine.

So i must reflash PA to get the PA kernel back right?
But i like hells-core amazing battery.
Is there no other kernel that can help me?
Or can i OC or clock it back to stock speed? what app can i use for this?

Quadrant scores!!!

Hey guys with all the quadrant scores being posted everywhere, I haven't seen a topic dedicated to these alone. So that's what this thread is for. Here are the rules:
Rule 1: when you post a quadrant please tell everyone what Rom/Kernel you are running so if anyone wishes to follow your steps they may do so.
Rule 2: Please merge your posts if your going to post one after another or simply edit your post and update it to maintain order.
That's it. Thanks guys and here is my quadrant. AOKP 40.1 devil .97 with v6 super charger and kak

Hey azuma how did you get your CPU so high? Also I need you to test something for me. Antutu tels me I'm pulling over 3200 in a quad. But quad pro tells me just over 2600. I'm unsure which to believe
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I believe antutu runs more tests than quadrant, therefore showing a higher score, but I could be mistaken?
My phone IS fast and stable, but now I think I need to work on better battery!?

Dim your screen. Go to (I think development) and put a chexk in kill background processes and leave no programs running. I also use toolbox pro to freeze apps that continuously run and use the mobile web version of them.

Seems like you started this thread so we could show off each of our own tweaks and roms. I came here for a little advice too. That way I could see some big performance increases to my phone.
(first screen capture)
old rom: AOKP 40
old kernel: devil .79
old CPU governor: smartassv2
min-max frequency: 200-1400
(second screen capture)
Current rom: AOKP 40
Current kernel: devil .79
Current CPU governor: conservative
min-max frequency: 100-1400
I was curious I used the ROM setting built into the AOKP rom to set the cpu frequency, but should i use devil kernel config or manager or nstools. or is that just for live OC? My cpu frequency is set at boot. My quadrant scores are pretty low. Any tips for a noob?

Yeak I got a couple for ya.
Go to settings, Developer settings, then put a check mark in Force GPU Rendering Make sure the Max CPU is 1400 low is 100 Governer I have set to conservative, ZRam is set for 100mb. Try those settings and reboot before you test again

Ok I believe the Force GPU rendering definitely made the biggest difference. My 2d and 3d scores jumped up. I updated my post. For some reason in the ROM controls it took a couple tries for the new cpu and governor settings to stick after reboot.

MunkyDrunky that still seems a little low considering what everyone else is pulling. Try this as well. And I'll include the files from my phone when I get to my computer with instructions.
Get if not already had toolbox
And go to performance and SD card boost. Change the value to 2480 (I think it is. It will give you a preferred high set)
Go to app manager and freeze any constantly running services that you would normally use such as yahoo mail Facebook etc. And use the mobile web versions to help save ram. I'll include v6, 3G, and a few other files you'll need as well.
After the SD boost and app freeze reboot phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot and try your test again.

Ok Ive used Rom toolbox when I was using the Gummy rom. Would I still use devil kernel config or manager for the cpu and ram free value changes? How do I make sure the changes will always stick, ive had trouble with that after reboot.

I should say my running apps are usually not many. Right now its Rom Control, Android keyboard, Maps, Nova Launcher, and Rom Toolbox, and Superuser. I test my gps a lot with Maps. Otherwise I dont have a lot running since this isnt my daily use phone. I want it to be again but want to get it flying first.
Thank you for the good advice and help. Trying SD boost now...will try v6 and 3g speed boost later
I use v6 supercharger, sd boost, and app quarantine while at 1300 MHz and I still only get around 1500...I feel like that's pretty low for AOKP MS6 with devil right?

How will a custom kernel benefit me

What will a custom kernel do for me. I have been thinking about rooting but I do not want to flash a ROM. I am really loving stock. How will a kernel benefit me. I heard they have something to do with battery. How is that?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
With a custom kernel you can do some really cool tinkering for example
- underclock (save battery)
-undervolt ( MAY save battery , but will def help with heat)
- change governor ( may help battery)
- change screen properties . I.e colours
- GPU over clock / under clock ( obvious)
Other cool performance tweaks as well

I'd go with franco's kernel for now.
All of them are new and may have bugs, but franco is a longtime kernel developer and he's the least likely to do stupid stuff or claim features that actually hurt performance or are just placebos.
Franco's kernels seem good. I use it on my N7, but I just wouldn't use it yet as he's working blind. Faux has some amazing battery saving kernels. Mathkid's kernels pretty well as well, I used to use his on the Nexus S back in the day.

I'd be careful about recommending a kernel where the developer is doing so blindly. Honestly its very irresponsible. Unless he's got a device that's 99.9% identical, i cant recommended it.

Under clock can be done on a stock kernel just needs root. Custom kernel allows over clock doubt its needed though CPU is fast enough.
Different governors can be used on stock too but custom kernels may offer extra ones like smartass etc.
They may also add things like NTFS cifs run etc not available in stock.
Using Motleys kernel just now too soon to comment on improvements.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If stock is working for you, there's no reason to flash another, unless you have the itch.
The stock kernel is great, and undervolting is more trouble than it's worth if you're starting from scratch, unless tinkering with voltages is your thing, and there's zero need to overclock the N4 CPU or GPU IMO. There aren't a ton of options, yet, either. 3.4 is pretty young yet.

As someone who is using Franco's kernel at the moment, I can recommend it strongly. It's running very well :good:

Agree. Franco is amazing and once he actually has the device he will only improve.
Yeah -- that was my other experience, I'm using franco's kernel and have been since day one.
Quite stable at least so far, no crazy changes.

[Q] Which is the best kernel?

What is the best kernel overall?
The best kernel for battery improvement?
Best kernel for performance?
and the best kernel for gaming?
.....and GO!
Stock.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.

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.

[Q] Nexus 7 overclocking

Hey guys i gotta question for you, what overclocking app do u guys use? And would you recomend it...
Try TricksterMOD.
ETA: and make sure you know what you're doing.
Trickster MOD
if you just use your nexus for regular thing, well no need for overclocking. 1.3ghz quad core can handle it very well.
+1 for trickster mod. 1.5 with trinity kernel seems to be a popular oc for a lot of people.
Also you may need the powerhal fix to stop it reverting back to core frequency.

[Q] CPU underclocking/undervolting/core-shutting

Hi,
does anyone have working CPU underclocking/undervolting/core-shutting in CM Nightlies? The Performance setting there is broken and set limits only for fist core.
I mean the battery life is not bad, but I would sometimes appreciated ability to go into somehow ECO mode (for example runnning only on one core) when I'm nowhere near charger with nearly dying battery.

Nope, not until someone creates a custom 4.2.2 kernel. Maybe Faux (or others) are waiting for the CM10.1 kernel rebase to be released as this will be a much better one to start modifying?
