Re: [KERNEL][GPL][GN] franco.Kernel r372 -&gt; 4.2.2 | r364 -&gt; 4.2 | r300 -&gt; 4.1

No issues here like others with both recent kernels (Franco's and osmod version).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creeve4:
Easy killer, just reporting, not criticizing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I already apologized. Pour salt in my wounds, why don't ya? :o:p

Because that little bit of lag is on every kernel and every ROM. We made it worse for awhile by hampering write speeds to improve overall feel with nomerges 2, but that's been reversed. That's why everyone now thinks it's worse here, but it's universal and there's no way to remove the Play Store lag entirely that anyone has found. Go read the last 30 pages of the AK thread if you don't believe me. ;)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][GN] franco.Kernel r372 -&gt; 4.2.2 | r364 -&gt; 4.2 | r300 -&gt; 4.1

Then why no lag or minimal lag with stock kernel? I thought Franco kerel is about performance and battery.

Seems that performance is not perfect and battery thing is placebo :) I am glad it has fast charge :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It's just as bad with stock for me. I tried a few weeks back.

The placebo is you thinking stock is better. :p

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Now there's some good new info! I don't use lockscreen widgets and I find the lag to be the same as stock. What are those who are feeling affected using?

fatappel in the AK thread also tried going into (I think) Google Play Services with AutoStarts and enabling everything and said that helped him over there. Also worth looking into? My guess is, if it's not just something that was always there and we only didn't notice until we made it much worse, then it's something from one of the recent Play Store/Services updates.

It's a good workaround to set our test values as the scheduler "defaults" until Franco can hardcode them via the scheduler source.

I've been getting the damned play-store lags / freezes again for last few days myself. I don't know why as I haven't changed ANYTHING over that time. I even had to pull the damn battery twice, and the installs weren't even big apps - they were just updates of modestly sized ones (6 - 12 MB).

I only had one 3rd-party lock-screen widget (dashclock), so I just uninstalled that. Here's hoping!... but I'm not really that hopeful since I've had dashclock installed for weeks and only got freezes over the last few days.

I'll report back if removing dashclock seems to fix it. Otherwise, I suppose we'll all keep waiting for Google to fix the play store.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][GN] franco.Kernel r372 -&gt; 4.2.2 | r364 -&gt; 4.2 | r300 -&gt; 4.1

It's like some other "homemade" bootloaders, I just edited config files inside it, nothing big. :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkgnex:
So, after uninstalling dashclock from my phone completely and removing Google Sound Search from a lock screen (not uninstalling) - and thereby leaving absolutely no lock screen widgets active - I had 3 sizable play store updates tonight (incl. Chrome and Google Search) that downloaded and installed like butter! I haven't had a play store install go that well for any app in several days now. Maybe there's something to the "3rd-party lock screen widgets causing Play Store havoc" theory, or maybe it's just a weird coincidence so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Alright folks, the great dev, trevd, compiled the latest Cygwin-based mkbootfs.exe for me this afternoon and I can happily report it fixes the charger permission issue your helpful bug reports led me to. Amazing that almost 1000 people in my Android Image Kitchen thread didn't notice (maybe they're using it on older platform version kernels that don't have the charger binary, or use it for recovery images only :confused:), and even here only 4 out of the 160 that tried out my little Easter present noticed this fatal flaw. Again, sorry for not taking them seriously at first, I had forgotten which version I was running on my device at the time when I'd tried to reproduce so of course I saw no problem. :o Thank you for continuing to bring it to my attention. :)

I'm going to sit on making a new osmod for a bit since we're almost done with a few new things in our scheduler testing and I might as well wait for those. Francisco is also back from Portugal I hear, so we might see if he's got anything up his sleeves too. ;)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][GN] franco.Kernel r372 -&gt; 4.2.2 | r364 -&gt; 4.2 | r300 -&gt; 4.1

Anyone got any governor setting for sourcery 5.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
I didn't have any "charger" issues with your modded Franco kernel. Still using it, on Slim Bean rom 4.2.2 build 3. But I look forward to the update whenever it's ready.

I'm not an expert, but maybe something in that ROM or something else I have installed gives it the permission needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Have you shut down (power off) your device and then plugged it in? That's the only thing it affects. You could just check the perms on /charger with any root explorer to see as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Yes, I have shut down the phone. Yesterday afternoon driving home. Randomly my APN disappears (long standing issue, don't know why). The only thing that quickly fixes it is to shut down, pull battery, pull sim card, power up, power back down, pull battery, put sim card back in, power up. Magically APN is restored.

But I haven't done a full discharge...

GUESS I self-corrected the problem wth the battery pulls for other issues?

It always has some juice when I start charging again.

Is this the screen shot you want? Do I have the correct permissions or not? Sorry, I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. Does the phone have to be plugged in at the time? I took two screenshots -- not plugged in and plugged in.

Discharging:

________

Plugged in and CHARGING:

Since the "execute" box is not checked, do I need to fix that? Or am I totally confused here and that's not what you are talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gafanhotz:
No way it can solve the problem.

And a full discharge I mean, really discharging your phone, to a moment when it will ignore you pressing the power button. It gets stuck on the charging logo when you plug the charger. The permissions, I didn't verified what are needed but osm0sis can tell you the right permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
No execute perms. So you do have the issue. You've just misunderstood me on how to reproduce it. Shut off your phone. That's when it won't charge because of the issue. Booted up it still works fine. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Yes, I misunderstood. Sorry.

I just hadn't encountered the conditions yet to exhibit the problem.

So what if I'm late to the game...

I just climbed onboard GNex, flashed up to 4.2.2 and decided I'd spend the couple of bux for the franco.Kernel Updater.

Nice. Got my Westwood for handling TCP Congestion. Got my modest overclock at high CPU load. Got my reduced CPU speed when the screen is off. Threw in a few tweaks for the display and...

WOW. Running smooth, looking great, battery lasting really well.

Awesome work, Sir. You make it easy for us and I know that means you worked hard.

I'm going to start recommending this to anyone who has a device that is compatible. :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pulsar_swift:
Hi,

I tried Franco Kernel R372 on PA 3+

I am experiencing lag when I am opening the app drawer and dialer and home screen transitions.

The lag is only seen when I use live wallpapers as the back ground. Static wallpapers cause no lag what so ever

There is no lag on stock kernel even with live wallpaper. I hate the color calibration on the stock kernel.

Please suggest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha_wolf:
so i flashed the 372 kernel with cm10.1 nightly 4/6/13 on my toro device and got bootloop i wiped cache and same issue my ak kernel boot fine im curious any idea ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bombadier:
It was actually after a reboot that I noticed that PGM had stopped working!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhrrsn:
Did you flash the ROM and gapps again first when coming from ak? Pretty sure his kernel does something to the ramdisk and causes this issue as francos uses a modified one as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
If he just flashes the reset kernel that ak provides he should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Great to see you didn't take it personally, or hold a grudge or anything. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
As promised here's the fixed up version of my "Easter present", which should be my last:

[removed since my changes and our tunables have been incorporated into r374+]

[156 downloads of the original upload and 217 of this one. Wow! Thanks folks. :D]

r372-osmod has a modified ramdisk with:

- our winning tunables for interactive governor.

- my lmk whitelist for most popular launchers (for whatever that's worth).

- our latest (7-Apr-2013) iosched tweaks, now as defaults(!) by detecting each time the scheduler is changed.

- cleaned up and renamed /sbin/fixtunapower.sh to /sbin/fkbootscript.sh: removed unneeded zram test leftovers; combined PowerHAL backup/replace and disable sysctl.conf sections; expanded general queue overhead tweaks to all blocks; added init.d dir creation and permissions if it doesn't already exist; and if a /system/etc/init.d/950iosettings script is found it doesn't initiate its own iosched settings loop.

- changed TCP Congestion Avoidance Algorithm to westwood by default.

- increased the kernel entropy pool slightly as it seems to help with random read+write speeds.

The zip now also properly creates the /system/etc/init.d with proper permissions as intended.

You

do not

need the current init.d script if you're running r372-osmod; it's already all built in. ;)

If using osmod, remove any older 950iosettings from /system/etc/init.d to run the latest defaults. 950iosettings overrides the fkbootscript.sh settings now so you can keep plugging in new init.d scripts as we release them (but of course none is needed right now since they're the same). :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Boot.IMG worked just fine. Thanks Os.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha_wolf:
ok will do

hahaha ok yeah i didnt althought i never used it before but idk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gafanhotz:

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but what is the boot.img for ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha_wolf:
the kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhrrsn:
Do I flash both though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
One or the other. Depends how you flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhrrsn:
Okay that clears it up I use cwm and the boot IMG isn't needed. Sorry for being a noob
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnaye:
dude, just flash the zip via recovery, img is for bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
No worries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1458:
Can I flash the Osmod right over the original 372?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
You can also use the img in f.Ku's Backup/Restore, which is how I flash kernels mostly.

Yup. Only thing is you should remove /system/etc/init.d/950iosettings, if you have one, in order to run the new defaults. I wrote it so now the init.d script overrides the boot script. That way we don't have multiple loops running/competing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhrrsn:
That's what I had flashed but I wanted to know what the other was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah same thing, just accommodating the different flash methods people prefer.

And before anyone asks again, you can use the "cwm-" zip in TWRP. It's just my naming convention for flashable zip, and it's rare that they wouldn't be universal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnaye:
yup, looking forward to trying out your work os :D

shall flash by end of work today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allblackt:
Can anyone point me to a guide on how to flash this kernel ? I already have an old version of it (#366) on Xylon 2.3.3 with TWRP. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raijin:
Running Osmod with no problems at all!

What this means? There will be no more releases? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Well yeah. It was only ever a one-time thing because I was bored over Easter weekend. ;)

But then it had the wrong permissions on the /charger binary, so I said I'd make one more with that fixed and a few other things added, like our finalized cfq, westwood tcp caa by default, and now you can plug in a 950iosettings init.d script to override the defaults, etc. Pretty much nothing else to do. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmcsc:
So, uh, heh. What do I do if I was testing out the color settings that the Franco app has and now I literally can't see anything on the screen? It's all black. I can't... don't know what I'm tapping on the screen, haha.

I really think these settings aren't meant for a Galaxy Nexus, ha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
:eek: That's really weird. No issues with the color settings in f.Ku here... Reboot to custom recovery and flash the emergency reset zip from my sig. Should be a decent cure-all where f.Ku is concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
Couldn't find this in the changelogs but ah, did franco change default sched. to ROW? Or did i not clear the fKU app data properly? Thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reysonance:
ROW is the default scheduler now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnaye:
os, flashed your mod already, was running LK before. but after flashing your mod, the IO tweaks don't stick, they are all the same except for the 2nd last and 3rd last. and when i try to change them, they switch back automatically. so it's 100 / 75 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 15 / 25 on my phone.

any ideas why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fenvarien:
That's intended behavior because on the GNex some very special mathematics are necessary ;) I asked Osm0sis about just the same 'issue' some days ago and he enlightened me about thoses calculations... :thumbup: 12 becomes 2 and 10 = 15 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnaye:
Very "special" indeed. in which world does 12=2 and 10=15... haha, so i'll leave them as they are right?

what about the Timer rate, instead of 15000, it shows up as 30000.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunnahabhain:
Awesome osmosis - francos base and your additions work flawlessly on my Gnex. Thought the quality of this kernel would have decreased because franco left the Gnex-Building, but wow it's rock solid, stable and fast. I got rid of flashing kernels on a daily basis. Will stick to franco, hoping that he, and you guys, will continue to keep the francokernel smooth, customized for users experience and up to date!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timbck2:
Setting aside the question of how do you already have Franco kernel #366 if you don't know how to install a kernel, the easiest way is to purchase the app "Franco.kernel updater" from the Play Store and update it from there. Besides getting you the most recent version of the kernel, doing this helps support future development and makes it easy to tune all kinds of settings. The next easiest method is to go to the first post of this thread, where you will find a link to the download location. Download the latest version (the flashable zip) and flash it in recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allblackt:
Thank you very much for your information, I found the ZIPs and I flashed it with TWRP through a slightly different process than I would with CWM. Initially I panicked when I saw the .img files. I have some experience in flashing with my SGS I9000 which I traded for GNex. When I got he phone, it already had Xylon 2.3.3 with Franco #366. Sorry if I confused anyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah differences in scale across the 4 supported devices meant we had to split the difference a few times to get what we wanted on them all with a single value. lsq in row (12 = 2) is an extra special case of weird though. If you search the thread I worked it out in a few posts; I don't remember the exact ranges for what would result in a 2, but they were different on each device and I picked 12 since it was in the overlap for the GN and N7. The N4 has a newer version of row that makes input work normally there. Hopefully Francisco can port it to us at some point too.

Weird I didn't touch init.cm.rc; can anyone confirm? I'm not going to do anything about it but it would be nice to know. :p

Yeah, you can flash the boot.img files as well, but you have to use fastboot for that. Not difficult, but different. I think flashing zips from recovery is the easier of the two manual methods, but for this kernel the f.ku app is the best method and well worth the money (I think it's $2.99).

Anyone else have a scheduler they like better with all the final tweaks?

I have a personal preference for cfq, but the difference is really minor. Just try them out if you're bothered and see which feels better - don't expect anything huge though as they're all pretty great now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunnahabhain:
Oh that was me and my comment, sorry... i meant it as a metaphor, that he left (steped out) of the Gnex-Building (Gnex-House) because his focus shifted to the Nexus 4. He will continue to build a kernel every now and then, but not as often and with as much as effort as we used to know. Fortunately the top-users like osmosis and the the guys are going a special way to make this kernel better by testing and optimising tunables, frequencies and other settings to make the kernel as close to a perfect userdriven kernel as possible. Thanks again for that!
