[Nexus S Android Development] litanyoffail:
I've been using your kernel since you built it the first time for ICS, and I tried your r4 kernel. It's damn fast, but I rely a little too much on BLN to give it up so I switched over to CM's kernel just to keep current.

Don't think this is another "ZOMG Y NO BLN PLS PUT BAK IN PLS" post. I'm just curious: what instabilites were caused by BLN that caused you to remove it (because, correct me if I'm wrong, it was in your previous versions)?
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
You have nothing to lose if you flash it..okay?
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
BLN is cool but drains a little a little extra battery and thats something I dont want.

This is simple:

Want a pretty darn fast kernel without a zibillion mods and that works great out of the box - use this one.

Want a full-feature kernel but that can crash sometimes - there are plenty of other kernels to try that are also good.
[Nexus S Android Development] renna1992:
i think i get it now franco :) maybe i'll try to live without bln and give your kernel a try. i was running your kernel on gb 24/7, im pretty damn curious what you've done here :D
[Nexus S Android Development] waterface:
Thanks for your reply. Seemed odd that it would be a source of instability.

I've gotten used to it and I think it's a really useful mod.

And I think about the juice drain this way- if I don't see the keys lit up, I don't turn the screen on to see if I have notification, thus I save battery! This obviously makes sense if the extra battery drain only happens when the lights are on. Anyone (maybe a developer who knows what is going on under the hood in BLN kernels, maybe franco himself) can answer this question?
[Nexus S Android Development] Lazat:
Tried your kernel new, feels really snappy! don't know if it is from your on demand tweaks or something else :)

A feature request (just one because I know you hate it :p) :

biggermem (like CM9kernel with 397mb). Would make multitasking fly even more :)

Thanks for great kernel! Now I'm gonna test battery life, I'm a bit afraid that screen on time will suffer a bit from the aggressive ondemand setting. But maybe not so much, time will tell :D
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
+1 for the biggermem.
[Nexus S Android Development] bjuderas:
Hey franco, thanks for this very nice kernel! I tried other famous kernels, but now that I tried this one, I think it's smoother and faster than the others I tried!

Great work man! Keep it up! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] XxSilent22xX:
Your GB kernel 08122011 was perfect it had all the features and never had any instability issues from what i can remember, i still keep it on my sdcard just incase i ever need it.

i must say your kernel runs great and is fast like a cheetah! i had no issues for the 24hrs i used it.
[Nexus S Android Development] FL0OD:
Agreed. I actually flashed gb last week and used that kernel. Perfect.

[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
It's worth flashing just to read what Francisco wrote during CWM installation. :P

Going to try this out now. Thanks for supporting us Francisco.
[Nexus S Android Development] kong:
Lol, just quoted that and made it the description of your kernel in my ROM :D
[Nexus S Android Development] y3mita:
I don't think BLN is a battery drainer! Not at all, the problem I think is users not using it right...

I had set mine to 5 minutes blinking and 5 minutes after and then turns off. My battery is fine... Any dropage by using BLN has to be very minimal.
[Nexus S Android Development] BullHorn7:
I installed this last night. Used the phone most of the day without noticing much difference (The music did stutter once when I started the screen after listening to music for 20 minutes) but at some point while I was writing an email in the email app, it just froze. After the reboot, I had 20% battery less.
[Nexus S Android Development] motorator:
Franco has stated his point of view so it's pointless to flood the thread badgering him in the hopes of getting him to add this, that, and the other.

I think it's safe to say that he is familiar with his work and with what works. And as he pointed out, there are alternatives with some or all of the features that he chooses not to include in his kernel.

BLN is a must-have for me, so I went back to Matr1x, which has been good to me.

Move on, people.
[Nexus S Android Development] Serial Kazama:
Franko is the Dev so he chose the rules.

Im happy with the Kernel. Waiting for Voodoo Support. Thx from me.

PS: U miss notifications try noLED!! (App)
[Nexus S Android Development] renna1992:
will give it a try, thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] BullHorn7:
Can someone point me to a page which explains all these features? Googling each feature separately will take too long.
[Nexus S Android Development] Maxxd01:
I don't know why, but in CyberGR rom the last version of this kernel has lag issues when comparing to stock/simple kernel...
[Nexus S Android Development] dabl8:
Please, can you enable CONFIG_FUSE_FS? Its required to be able to mount fuse filesystems like encfs. Still requires root access but that's the roms problem I think
[Nexus S Android Development] dyndragon:
FYI

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1609721

path to wifi bcm module in latest CM9 nightlies has changed and broke custom kernel installers. Do you mind fixing the path or making a symlink to accomodate in your update.zip?
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Try looking a few posts/pages back. I think someone already posted a modified version of the new r4 in the thread with the path corrected.

Cheers!
[Nexus S Android Development] dyndragon:
Wow, I didn't realize I hadn't refreshed this thread in a while. Sorry about that!
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Hai franco and other..

Im wondering..why did you said that OC will cause more harm so you decided not to include OC for your kernel but in the same time your kernel for galaxy nexus can OC up to 1350mhz..

Just curious to know.:rolleyes:
[Nexus S Android Development] skitapa:
Hi,

I am wondering, I have compiled kernels for desktops but not arm and android. Is it possible to compile like fuse fs and other fun things like modules for those who want them or would it give overhead? There is already the wifi module, so I guess there wouldn't be more overhead. And why is the wifi module not compiled into the kernel if overhead is an issue?
[Nexus S Android Development] bjuderas:
Hi Francisco,

Does Wi-fi work if I put this kernel with cm9 v7?

Because that rom has now a diferent path for wi-fi or something! :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
probably not, but you can always use biergazi's fix detailed in another thread in this forum. also, try searching a few pages back and you will find that someone posted a modified version of Franco's kernel with the paths corrected in order for it to function on the new CM9 nightlies. Hope this helps. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Franco's kernel now in the UX GRAPH!

You can hover over the bars or lines to see which thread it is, or if you are using a phone, just tap on them.

EDIT: With this pack it works fine! Testing performance and battery life now!

Thanks to all for sharing and Francisco for all the work ;)

Flashed r4 hoping for a great kernel like in Gingerbread. Nothing it's more needed from a stable kernel with goon battery life.
[Nexus S Android Development] jhalmeida:
The kernel is very stable. Flashed it a couple of days and no issues. Battery life is not the best.
[Nexus S Android Development] bjuderas:
So I'm using cm9 v6 and had a random reboot with this kernel.

Just for you to know, francisco! Maybe you'll want to fix whatever is causing that!

After a day using it I have to say that the battery in standby mode is excellent. During the night lost only 2% (10 hours of sleeping), while with other kernels I was loosing about 10%...
[Nexus S Android Development] jhalmeida:
well can you be more precise like , 3g wifi, push?

many thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Wifi on, sync off, data on, 3G off only 2G... But I think that this doesn't matters so much since it is only screen off time.

I/O scheduler: Deadline Governor:Ondemand. Min Freq:200MHz Max freq: 1000MHz.

Edit: Also ROM I'm using is CyberGR v11.

Edit 2: @Franco I have two requests I know that you probably won't include them because you decide the features of your kernel. But I would love to see the option to tweak the voltages and also a kernel app for nexus s or upload the latest kernels at ROM Manager again. Thank you very much for all of your work!
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
anyone still on franco kernel..

how good your battery was??

my nexus just get 2 hours playing temple run..:)
[Nexus S Android Development] nsnsmj:
I'm still using it. Screens from yesterday:

I think this is great battery life. That Triple Town game was what drained the battery so much at the end. Wifi was on for a little over 5hrs in total, if that means anything. I also have similar battery life today even without putting the phone in Airplane mode for part of the time like I did yesterday.

Can we get a standard voodoo settings in the next version. Not every phone/screen is the same and we always have too adjust voodoo settings on reboot because the settings don't stick

I'm with you on this one.
[Nexus S Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
Yea my voodoo colors don't stick but sound does.
[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
+1

The standard blue hue on my screen that comes with this kernel prevents me from using it. This would be my first choice kernel as it seems like the most popular one for ICS. It's just too bad that something like color pushes me away from it.

The settings in Voodoo color also don't stick for me so altering it after every reboot is too annoying to be worthwhile.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ok, thanks for the feedbacks, I'll revert to the original Voodoo settings then. Expect a release with default voodoo **** and more fixes in a few hours ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] intheb0x:
I beg to differ, i love the screen settings that comes stock.

Perhaps you could have two versions, one standard voodoo and one the way it comes now.

I love the way it is, dead sexy.

PS no freezes or random reboots with your nov 24th kernel.

Thanks again!

Sent from my Nexus S 4G with Ics 4.0.1
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Well I won't have two different versions, because in my opinion is a little bit of waste of time, specially because I suspect official 4.0 and kernel 3.0 will be released very soon, and this kernel is just experimental work to provide everyone with the most stable ICS AOSP system possible. I can post my Voodoo settings in the OP for the users that like the colors.
[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
I think that's the best way to do it.

Let everyone have "stock" and let the rest alter it if they so choose.

Thanks for taking our feedback!
[Nexus S Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
any ideas on why voodoo color settings reset after reboot? is that the kernel defaulting them?

EDIT: I cannot get the exact RGB multiplier numbers posted in this thread here. And using those values my screen looks a little orange tinted. I get better results using these values in the first post. I can get close but the numbers dont exactly match as they did in gingerbread. Anyone else?
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nah, maybe rom related because voodoo **** was made for 2.3.x.
[Nexus S Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
no biggie, i dont ever reboot my phone unless im flashing something so its not a problem really. thanks for the quick response! love the kernel, makes kwiboos ics port fly!
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks for those values. I'll maybe use them and see if people like them, if not I'll revert back to stock ****. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] obsanity:
Thanks for taking our feedback Franco.

What are the chances of getting 1.2 and 1.4 frequency added? Maybe just 1.2 since bumping the bus higher would result in way higher frequency than the nexus can take.
[Nexus S Android Development] kjaved373:
I just tried those values and it looks so amazing! I definitely recommend using those values.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I know a few people would want OC, but I really wanted to step back from having OC on my kernel...I dunno, I have to think, I definitely don't like the idea of having OC because live_oc is enough, bus speed > cpu clock speed in my opinion.
[Nexus S Android Development] tjackbjorn:
"Overclock - this crap is fast enough, we don't need overclock."

Oh and I'd like a report an issue where my phone rebooted every time I turned off my wifi. Singled out your kernel as the possible source of the issue as it didn't appear with other kernels. Too bad because I really like to try out how fast the kernel is. Thanks.

[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
This one is correct. When in standby, the phone goes to Deep Sleep state, which means the CPU isn't running.

Deep idle is effective for tasks running in background while the screen is off, and in this case the most relevant is playing music.

True, it doesn't make it that much faster but I like having the option. Normal boot would always be 100-1000. I just seen Ezekeel add higher frequencies so I figured I'll ask your opinion.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'll think about it, but don't get your hopes too high, I want to be different than other kernels with my own ideas, and this one is definitely a choice that I've made.
[Nexus S Android Development] FirmShark:
Can I just say thank you for responding to requests from folk so quickly and for providing a great kernel. I'm running it with as it comes but with deep idle off and liveoc set to 100.

On the topic of voodoo colours, I use the settings that are in the Best settings here thread. They make the screen 'pop' with colour and it looks very vibrant. It would be awesome if you used them as default as others have said in this thread. It does get pretty tedious having to re-configure every time the phone boots.

The settings I use (from the first post in the settings thread):

1) Screen v1 gamma hack:

-50 red

-53 green

-44 blue

2) SRB multipliers:

Red ="2300875360"

Green ="2300875360"- update.

Blue ="2709919680" -update.
[Nexus S Android Development] obsanity:
I can guarantee your settings will not look the same on other phones. I have 4 different Nexus S 4G phones (own, wife, mother, friends) and none have the same settings because when set to same numbers all look different.

Screen fabrication (quality), age and date of manufacturing makes the difference. All the numbers people post are useless.
[Nexus S Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
Yea those are the values I linked, def the best IMO. Makes the ics blue POP!
[Nexus S Android Development] vinnypel2ella:
Would this be why I can't get the screen multipliers those exact numbers? There close but not exact, only to the first three numbers and I know in gingerbread I could get them exact. Anyway I think those are the best, tried a bunch of different suggestions and those seem to work the best.
[Nexus S Android Development] FirmShark:
I can't get the exact numbers either but I've noticed that other folk when they are posting settings up, they just have the first three numbers listed. They do the job for me and a lot of other folk.
[Nexus S Android Development] obsanity:
Yeah, they may be close but some phones are just very odd and just look completely off. Again, if you bought 2 phones at the same time they may be close because chances are they were manufactured about the same time. I think people should be posting phone serial numbers with those settings so you can get a feeling if you're close to that manufacturing date. But I don't think that's a good idea LOL

There are known problems with the ICS ROMs and BT (BT rfkill switch is not properly triggered when BT is turned off in the UI), so I would not be surprised if there are further problems with BT.
