The very first thing that I want to find out for long time after getting my Google Nexus 4 ~ how fast is the Qualcomm APQ8064 CPU chip inside? Slow, Nominal, Fast or Faster bin? The faster bin means you can overclock and undervolt better than other bins. So you can get better performance, battery life and generate less heat if configure correctly. Want to know yours? Just use Terminal Emulator to find out. Note – Root access is required.
Kernel is the heart of operating system including Android. Therefore, the better kernel you have, the better performance and more features you will have. Same apply to Google Nexus 4. Overclocking, undervolting voltage control, multiple tweaked CPU governors, GPU overclocking, I/O tweaks, USB force fast charge, gamma control, Fsync control are some of the features in Nexus 4 custom kernel. You will get more out of it after tweak here and there manually. If tweak well, you will get better performance, more battery life and cooler LG Nexus 4.
