smoocha kernel -- AOSP - AT&T LG Optimus G

Hey, here is a little kernel Houstonn and I have been working on. It's based on Faux123 kernel for nexus 4, however, it has evolved into a "buffet" kernel. I keep choosing what i believe is the better interface / way of doing things in a choice of various way or what could give us better battery / performance. I'm trying to maintain a certain balance.
This version is for geeb (AT&T/Canadian) with the 8mp cam. If you have a 13mp camera use that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246152
I won't link to Faux123 kernel in the nexus 4 for the simple reason that 99% of the people don't read and on these 99% of people, a few will end up flashing nexus 4 kernel which mostly flash by partition number and not by partition name thus hard bricking their device.
Reason to at least try it :
CPU voltage table
Intellidemand and Wheatley governor added
All the block I/O scheduler
TCP Westwood algorithm
Faux123 sounds interface
Faux123 gamma interface (color control)
Newest Prima (wifi) driver.
In-kernel thermal watching
Msm_mpdecision (In-kernel OpenSource MPDecision)

My source are there :

I recommand using trickster mod to control this kernel.

Reserved for the pleasure.

too many pleasures.....

Thanks for creating a thread here since many of us don't go to the Canadian forum. Should cut down on the redundant "where do I get the houcha kernel" questions in all the ROM threads, since googling "houcha kernel" is apparently too much to ask.

Intelliplug (Disable mpdecision to use it) -> Use franciscofranco mako generic hotplugging driver instead
Faux123 sounds interface -> Use franciscofranco sounds interface.
Faux123 gamma interface (color control)
Eco mode (Dual-core mode) -> Seems to come with intelliplug
THIS WON'T WORK WITH 13MP CAMERA. I hope it was clear enough.

Is there a great benefit to flashing the latest release of the kernel? I'm on V12 and I see it's on V18 now (in less than a day ).

V18 seems to be very fast for some reason. No harm in jumping up to the latest in my opinion anyway

And what is the "Franciscofranco sounds interface"? Do I need apps that are not FauxSound and FauxSpeaker?

---

yeh u need his app which is 4.99 i think

---

I use the FauxClock app to mess around with the settings. Franco's is something completely different.

Where do I find these tools? Googling the phrases in the OP just show me the Franco Kernel (which is different than the Faux123 kernel ours is based off of, isn't it?) and this app that, while it claims compatibility according to Google Play, doesn't say in the description that it supports our phone.
I just want to be absolutely sure that something works with what we've got (and is actually effective) before I go off and waste another $5 on an app that I can't use.

Settings don't seem to stick with the Franco app. Completely clean flash of 4/20 Rootbox ROM and Houcha v18.

He said in the OP he removed Eco Mode because it comes with the new intelliplug stuff from Franco. Turn off MPDecision and the cores will shut off when not needed.

---

I'm using Houstonn's root box rom and Performance Control keeps overriding TricksterMod. Before, I was able to deny PC SU permissions, now I can't. Also, not seeing intelliplug with TM even after turning MPDecision in the app. Any help?
Edit: I'm not finding intelliplug in Franco's app either. Interactive is the only governor that seems to be limiting all my cores to the min frequency. Intellidemand let's them all scale up to 1ghz.

---

Well that kinda sucks after I spent money on faux123 kernel enhancement app. You say it disables cores when they're not needed, and that is true but the overwhelming majority of the time I'm not doing 4 things at once with the phone. It handles 90% of my usage just fine on 1 core or 2, not 4 lol.
