Running the test build with latest OTA. lol
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
test version, no issue so far. with GPA19 and CM stable 7.1.0 :)
[Nexus S Android Development] scott420:
Flashed the testing kernel and my phone sits at the google screen wiped dalvic also :confused:

NSTools thread

"- If something bad happenned and you want to reset NSTools config,

install reset_nstools.zip in recovery

- If you want to switch kernel, i recommend to uncheck 'restore on boot' setting.

It will reset to default kernel setting. You can recheck that after reboot."
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
According to your sig you're using ICS, and this kernel isn't for ICS...
[Nexus S Android Development] Sykkr0:
I still have issues with the lockscreen not showing up, and the touchscreen and capacitive buttons not working (although the phone vibrates when i press the capacitive buttons and turns the screen on/off with the lock button). Have to remove the battery to reboot the phone... :/

I'm not sure if it's related to the kernel, the MIUI rom or a combination of both, but I think it only happens when I have deep_idle on (i've been with deep_screen off for the last 4 days and no problems, only had issues today with deep_idle on).
[Nexus S Android Development] krex:
What's that two black vertical lines with battery drop? (I have seen such a thing on my phone, and that was one of result of random reboot.)
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
If i remember well i was doing some reboots to install Chainfire 3D driver and nvidia plugin!!For sure they aren`t random reboots..Haven`t got one yet and i am on 25.11 testing ver!
[Nexus S Android Development] doc_v15:
Just some thought and fact..

In my context, using miui kelmsLMKing rom is waaay much better with 1st nov kernel's version of franco, in term of the gprs/3g lock speed. On other version, it doesnt works as good as the 1st nov version, the 1st bfs.

Now im coming back to 1st nov kernel :-D

What do you guys think? Did anyone experience the same thing?
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Waiting for new update *smile*

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Actually Franco can u please in ur upcoming stable release include the 1100 Mhz and maybe the 1300 Mhz on max CPU freq states?! ;-)
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
Strange thing happened today (might not be kernel related):

I was in the woods, mountainbiking, and I wanted to make a phone call. The signal was extremely poor (single line, 2G). There was some data transfer active (the E symbol active with both arrows lit).

The phone call wasn't a success (I got busy tone) and right after that I saw the phone showing a phone call being active and the network icons (signal strength and E symbol with both arrows lit) frozen.

The phone was acting "normal" but there was no way of communicating with outside world. I tried airplane mode and the phone was not getting into that mode whatsoever. The only option (beside taking out the battery) was to reboot it from the terminal.

So ... was this a modem issue or a kernel one ? ... mistery :)

The phone was running fine for more than ~90 hours (I was actually quite pleased not having to flash anything or to reboot my phone for almost 4 days).
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nop, that won't happen. 1100 you can get with live_oc, and I don't want to go beyond 1200, I didn't even want to add 1200...
[Nexus S Android Development] nathanson666:
Which version are you running?

I experienced something similar last night with the 25 NOV testing kernel. It was the first time it happened on that kernel. It didnt seem to happen on the stable 23 NOV kernel but I didn't even test it for that long. It did seem to happen on the 17 NOV kernel and I think a number of people posted about it.

I'm curious, franco, what did you change in the 25 NOV kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] Ezekeel:
If you have 1.2GHz you can also get to 1.3GHz with Live OC.

I only added 1.2GHz and 1.4GHz because people asked me to, it was an easy thing to do and these states do not hurt or interfere with anything when one chooses not to OC.

It is much more efficient to start with a frequency state of 800MHz or 1.0GHz and give the bus/GPU a huge boost with Live OC. Currently I am running an OC value of 120 with a maximum frequency of 1.0->1.2GHz and with the HW-acceleration in ICS I am having a great experience. I will try an OC value of 125 with 800MHz->1.0GHz as maximum frequency next and see how that feels.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Ok Franco...don`t get mad..lol.. ;-) 1100Mhz is not useful at all, forget about that my bad to even mention this cause it`s really simple to rich that freq with 110 LiveOC..but with 1200Mhz i have quite a good time...i am really stable on this freq and even at 1320Mhz..The only reason i asked for 1300 was that i don`t have to be really aggressive with LiveOC to get 1400+ .. ;-)

My opinion is that 1200Mhz doesn`t hurt at all..u can leave it for me..but is ur work and u have to decide what is better!!
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I know, I just wanted users to only use live_oc to overclock. But yes, it's completely unharmful. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm gonna try 120 with 1,0ghz->1,2ghz. I've tried 125 with 800mhz->1,0ghz but my phone didn't like it.

Not mad at all. I'll think about that 1,4ghz step.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ezekeel:
I just tried 125 and some 3D gaming and everything seems to work fine on my device.

My voltages:

800 1250/1125

400 1075/1125

200 950/1125

100 950/1025
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
That will be awesome..!!It`s up to u Franco!!I am actually pretty happy with what i have now!! :D

Really nice..and thank u for posting ur conf. back!!
[Nexus S Android Development] Zorrich:
Can someone confirm if I adjust the voltage for the 1000mhz step in nstools, it will adjust the voltage for 1100mhz with a 10% live oc? An example of what I mean is attached. I want to raise voltages by 25 across the board when I use live oc, but 1100mhz doesn't show. I am thinking this will work though, just wanted confirmation.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] nathanson666:
Yes. That is correct.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zorrich:
Thanks a lot.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just had a hot reboot with that configuration, although it might work well for others. Thanks for posting it.
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
I was on stable Nov 23 and my radio is XXKF1.

Anyway, it happened once in 4 days and then the conditions were kind of extreme :).
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
had the first SOD on franco's kernel.

running:

oxygen 2.3.1 (lazily flashed over 2.3.2)

franco's kernel from 23rd

no oc, no live oc

undervolted by 25 at each step from kernel stock voltage

deep idle OFF (wanted to compare deep idle on/off cases)

it may be the undervolting. it may be my lazy ass flashing 2.3.1 over 2.3.2. ;)

anyhow, after SOD, I switched kernel to 25th test version at kernel's stock settings(nstools' settings had the checkbox unchecked). now, I had the grey 3G signal icon on status bar with no data connection. trying to enter airplane mode didn't do anything. long press power to bring up reboot menu showed airplane mode menu greyed out, as well as the reboot menu.

...am just gonna blame it all on my laziness for now, and I am now gonna try the test kernel on fresh oxygen 2.3.1 install. :)

just wanted to share the common sense in custom rom flashing. it's always better if you wipe everything when switching to another rom, even if it is just a version up or down. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
Tried 23nov kernel with deep idle ON, overnight and it sleep-killed my device (had to pull back battery)...ill try with default voltage next night and see if it changes
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Same here. Can't even run 120 with those settings. I'm a sad panda. :(

ALSO, got a reboot with GLaDOS v1.9 with everything stock, deep idle off after 70ish hours. Tried to wake up my phone, didn't wake up on first power button press. Tried another time, then another, then wham.

Got tired with that **** so I wiped every damn thing, restored nothing, starting fresh and installed franco 25th. Let's see how this goes. If I can run it forever (like 100 hours without a hitch) I'll go back to GLaDOS. If I can do that another 100 hours, then I'll enable deep_idle and i'll cross my fingers.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Sorry for some fellas here for what i am going to post but i have to.. :D

I know some of you hate those benchmarking apps!!

Actually is the highest score i have ever achieved with my Nexus S and one of the highest (if not the highest for NS) i had ever saw all around the internet!!

SPEECHLESS

Thanks to AdamG for this great Oxygen ROM and thanks Franco for your awesome Kernel..Maybe more to come in the future!!! ;)

PS: No SODs or Random Reboots after 1 hour of stressing to the limit!!
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Not the highest, Simms22 broke the 6000 a while ago. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] bratfink:
Anyone know the name of the app in the screenshot on the previous page, with all the CPU freqs etc. thanks !
[Nexus S Android Development] noobhero:
should be nstool
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Niet, that's NStools. Available from the market.
[Nexus S Android Development] nathanson666:
Actually, I think it's NSTools. Free on the market.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nice one Cybergr. Testing kernel is now labeled as stable. No change from testing to stable just a rename.
[Nexus S Android Development] noobhero:
ah yeah, 4gotten the icons have been replaced.

arrgh mora coffee!!

thanks for correcting mate!

short report.

running stock rom with 23th nov kernel

no oc, 100/1000, on demand, default voltages

DID off, BLN on, Touchwake off, Dimmer off

minor to moderate usage.

phone is put to lowest brightness, 3g/wifi off, silent thru the night bout 10hrs

uptime is 36:47 with 50% batt remain (i didnt believe either)

no reboots whatsoever.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Yeah u are right..Haven`t come across of his thread here in XDA..he has hit 6092 on Morfic`s Trinity 1.544Ghz (i am on 1500) in a CM7 Kang Rom..I came across of one of his older thread on androidcommunity forum, with highest 5680..Here : http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f77/quadrant-benchmark-and-smartbench-58638/

Anyway, thats why i said one of the highest, but still maybe the highest with Franco`s Kernel..!! ;)

Maybe as i said before there will be more to come if Franco decide to release a kernel with 1400 Max Freq Step!! ;)

(to much push from 1200 Max Freq step to 1500Mhz..)

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

Thank you Francisco..!! ;-) And thanks for your 25.11 awesome Stable kernel!! ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
Thanks for revealing the secret changelog :)

to sum up, "even faster!"

The size of the custom image for Avatar is 80 by 80
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Eheh thanks, and thanks for the resize, I was lazy enough not to do it myself :p
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
I just flashed the latest stable. You just don't let me accumulate more than 100 hours uptime it seems :). I always have to reflash for some reason.
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
Phone is acting weird if i use liveOC, bit scary. Anyway tested deepidle and phone hanged after 2 hours and half...
[Nexus S Android Development] :
I went from 23rd to 25th and suffered reboots so have gone back. Live OC 105 and 25mV down at 100MHz using i9020 oxygen 2.3.1 ... Works perfectly on previous kernel.

Sent from my SNES
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'm sure you're undervolting. Use stock voltages.

Don't undervolt and increase your minimum frequency up to 200 or 400 and it will be fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] ellesshoo:
If you've been using a script for live oc in the past make sure account for the extra 1.2ghz stepping in your voltage table (ie. If there are 6 frequency steppings and you only echo 5 voltage values things will unravel rather quickly).
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
Tried now with stock voltages and liveOC 105 on smartass 210/1050 and still hangs after 10min or so...23nov kernel
[Nexus S Android Development] majorgoose:
cant get the logcat to work....

can some one post instruction to enable the logcat in this kernel ?

Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] syntax_gosong:
Thanks a lot franciscofranco. Your Kernel is really awesome.

I'm looking for a kernel that extend battery life and yours is really a booster!!

I can reach 15 hours and reminding a 60% battery life with a normal daily usage.

Can you belief it?

Setup :

- ROM : Oxygen 2.3.2

- Kernel : franco.kernel 25112011

- cpu gov : Lazy

This kernel is RECOMMENDED by me...!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes you can. Logger.ko is inside /system/modules, create an init.d script doing the usual insmod command to load modules and logcat will be enabled on boot.
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
flash logcat_script.zip in recovery (/system/etc/init.d/61logcat)

#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/modules/logger.ko
[Nexus S Android Development] majorgoose:
Thanks for both of the posts, but i still get

Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory

after flashing the zip above ....

i'm on NSCollab .60

any thoughts ?
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
Im using just nstools to modify the tweaks. Im now testing 25nov with stock voltages, liveOC 105 and deep idle ON. Lets see how it goes
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Highest quadrant score has been beaten..!!6134!!

Sorry again guys for what i am going to post once more but i have to..

:D

Now i am certain that this is the highest quadrant score all over, achieved ever on Nexus S!!

Thanks again to AdamG for his great Oxygen ROM and special thanks to Franco for his awesome Kernel!! ;)

PS: I think that i have to dismount the water cooling system from my PC and find a way to mount it on my Nexus S for more!!:D;)

Franco please release a kernel with 1300Mhz or 1400Mhz step!!That way i`ll not have to push that much using LiveOC!
[Nexus S Android Development] dinuvali:
The 25 nov version will boot, start OS, freeze and reboot.

Also the 23 nov version will drop signal (on MIUI - known issue) but won't show 0 bars and an X, but rather will show full bars and i won't even know that i can't be contacted.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Been discussed forever, reset NStools settings, it's not a kernel issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Simms22 made 6500 once... :(

Just kidding! Awesome! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Loool m8..!!!Hahhaha..!!

I was like "what the f**k, how can I didn't came across this one!?!?I had searched everywhere!!"

Thank u though!! ;-)
[Nexus S Android Development] dena994:
I noticed that in the last update the colors are coolder than the release before ....aren't them? I prefer the old setting

[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
Please .. for GOD sake .. PLEASE STOP showing off the quadrant scores.

And please stop saying that "simms got 6500 once" .. it is completely irrelevant.

Franco .. I've flashed the 25 nov. kernel this morning. Everything is fine until now. 12 hours on battery and 67% remaining with a light usage.

I'll post a more detailed status after ~48 hours on this version of the kernel.

P.S.: I've also flashed XXKB1 radio ... I saw some posts as being more battery friendly than others.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Shoo, party breaker. How is it irrelevant if that's what we're going for? As far as I know, this thread is open to everyone, even those who enjoy the kernel for it's performance.

Besides, if you read the first post...

Can't blame anyone for trying to achieve the best performance. ;)

You can use Voodoo app from market to adjust them if you are not satisfied. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
Please define "performance" ... is "performance" = "speed"? If yes, what speed? CPU speed? GPU speed? file system speed? Real speed? Fake speed?

If you look at the quadrant advanced scores you will see that most of the scoring is generated by the IO.

There is no IO such fast in any mobile device .. that score is generated by tricking the benchmark software. So, all that remains is the CPU score which is the real stuff (real speed).

I explained once the thing with the IO scoring.

If you want to achieve 6500 then beside overclocking the gadget you need to convert your /data partition into a loop device on top of a ext4 file system = ramdisk. You'll never see higher scores (fake speed) ... but the cost is ... exactly ... reliability :) ... got my point?

In my opinion "performance" = "reliability". And this is actually the part that I appreciate at this kernel ... it's allowing you to balance the setup in order to achieve whatever you want ...

What is that device in your hand ? it is a PHONE or a GAMING console ? I know it can be both but I think the primary function would be = PHONE ... so you need it to be up and running w/o issues 24/7 ...
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
But you see, that's your opinion. And it's flawed in the sense you're giving performance a totally different meaning, one that isn't implicit to the word itself. If we wanted to test for stability, we'd test for stability. We're not testing for stability here.

Quadrant scores are absolutely good mesures when compared against other Quadrant scores.

You'll have to tell me where exactly we are faking the scores here, because we're not replacing any instructions. It's a common method to simplify instructions without affecting the output "quality" to cheat benchmarks, it has been done countless times by graphic cards makers, but again we're not doing any of that.

Bus speed, CPU speed and GPU speed are also in direct correlation with real world performance. I don't think I need to tell you that your phone will feel much snappier running an overclocked bus with a X CPU frequency than running the bus at stock speeds with the same frequency...

For me, my phone isn't only a phone. Otherwise I'd be using a cheap dumbphone with no touchscreen, music playing capability, internet browsing possibilities and such. Doesn't seem too budget friendly to use one of those only to make calls.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Nothing against you mate..;)

But at least take your time before u post something irrelevant for you and scream " for GOD sake .. PLEASE STOP showing off the quadrant scores", but maybe relevant or helpful for others after only seeing the quadrant screenshot image..thats why i used Quadrant Advanced (detailed score on every test CPU, RAM, I/O, 2D and 3D ) and had a detail Setup report on my setup!!

I said :

As for the latest 25.11 kernel i can say u for sure that u going to be more that happy!!

As far i have used it for 2 days+ now (is the same kernel with the 25.11 testing..only a rename here) with medium - heavy usage and can confirm that is equal if not superior of the 23.11 which i found one of the greatest Franco`s kernel regarding always the battery life!!

PS: There is no 6500 quadrant score, was only a joke from polobunny!!Thats one of the reasons i said before take a minute more to read the posts!
