The Android community is huge and there are many great developers in it that make real artwork without receiving anything in return, only asking for donations. Still, despite receiving more little merit, still working to exploit this green android Google brought smartphones.
By
root We can do whatever we want in our device, we became kings of all that happens in our Android. Some developers work to modify the kernel
Android , ie, the “core” of the whole operating system. What connects all the hardware to work together harmoniously.
We have already spoken of the Franco Kernel, a complete very
kernel and possibly one of the best to install on devices Nexus, we also remains to mention one hell. Besides having a
own program with which to customize various parameters based operating system such as clock speed
,
kernel modes and others.
What is the kernel?
The kernel is neither more nor less the heart Android . The coordinate hardware and software to make everything work perfectly. I mean, is responsible for operating the CPU, RAM and other components to perform operations requested by applications installed on our Android.
Many do not know, but the Android kernel is based
Linux , but with free
Copyright operating system. Which means that all people who want and can use Linux code functions freely. A very good idea compared to other operating systems, see iOS.
Today we will discuss a great kernel for the Nexus 4
Piasek Kernel . This kernel can find it on XDA
posted by its developer. A kernel comprehensive and focused especially on the battery consumption
to give you a little more durability.
Here we show a list of many of the main functions of the kernel ( in English). No doubt many are more than necessary on Android.
- Based on the latest msm_android source
- Built with the Linaro toolchain 4.8.3
- Linaro 4.8.3 Optimization
- -O3 Optimization
- Linux 4.3.76
- Thermal optimization
- Gamma Control
- Voltage Control (min.600mV)
USB fast charging
-
Battery Live
- eXtender (thanks for mathkid95)
sync
- Dynamic Control
- TCP offload Advance Control (default: westwood)
- KGSL: Simple GPU governor Optimization
Auto
- hotplug
- UV (-100mV)
- UC (270MHz)
- Kexec patch
Faux
- Sound Control 3.2
- Sweep2wake/Sweep2sleep/DoubleTap2Wake
- OTG Hack
As you see, is a well-optimized kernel, which focuses on giving power plus and battery life to device. Certainly, if you are of those who like to tinker with your Android, is a good choice for vitaminarlo and also give more durability to the device battery.
incorporates interesting features as
force Quick charge by USB , function as fashion press to wake
, Linaro
optimization and others. I think install, what about you?.
Remember the Franco Kernel also supports Nexus 4. Thus able to choose the one you like or simply try both and see which of the two gives you better performance.
We have discussed the Piasek Kernel, a highly optimized kernel and various functions interesting for the Nexus 4 . But there is another kernel welcomed the Android community, Matr1x Kernel .
This kernel also focuses on the internal optimization of the operating system. Allows
control the clock and also adds function
Swype2Wake (or Tap2Wake). It also incorporates improvements domestically such as force fast USB charging, load control to prevent temporal instabilities when handling the device while charging and more. Certainly very interesting.
Finally, to clarify that this kernel supports
MultiROM , ie, allows installing multiple ROMs simultaneously and choosing which to boot the switch. Between this and the performance optimization that has in its interior, is considered one of the best kernels of the Android scene.
Here we show more specifically extracted and
changelog official developer, which includes all the best Matr1x Kernel:

Good kernel linking the increasing power of the Nexus 4 with the ability to install more than two ROMs simultaneously. There is still life to Nexus 4 and developers know it.
have already been the turn of the Nexus 4 and now it’s up to his successor, the Nexus 5. Community development has also been greatly dump Nexus 5 in pulling the most juice that Google brings this device. So much so, it is not surprising to find multiple kernels or ROMs for this device unique.
One of the most famous Nexus kernels 5 which can be found on XDA
is the
Chaos Kernel . A specially created to
kernel CyanogenMod11 ROMs or based on it . Ie with AOSP ROM can not install it. This is a kernel
CAF , different from Linux included in AOSP. So if you want to install this kernel will need CM11 or any ROM based on it.
Chaos Kernel focuses, as we have discussed above for the Nexus 4,
optimize internal performance the device. Moreover, as in the previous ROM incorporates MultiROM function, something the developers can be indispensable.
also includes controls for changing display settings such as Morpheus
