I was rather suggesting to flash the kernel the fastboot way instead of waiting around for ZIPs or replacing the boot.img file from old ones. Considering the early stage of development it's not much to ask to use the boot.img file that Francisco provides.

I understand where you're going with "circumventing" stuff, but there's only so much that devs can do right after a new OS is released. Maybe labeling the kernel as experimental would stop all the questions.

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

I disagree. Franco's kernel is the fastest that I had on my Nexus benchmarks-wise. Trinity and Linaro don't even come close (the former with similar clock frequencies) on a number of Android 4.2 builds.

I do consider that benchmarks are an indicative of real-life performance. May not reflect 100 percent on "smoothness" but it's not that far away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JBNex:
I have a solution, change your governor to Performance and it will run smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rimher:
I was getting a "Couldn't install on USB storage or sd card" error on r318 from some (not all) apps in the play store. Tried to revert to stock kernel and issue seems to be gone.

I guess it's a kernel bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] F_T_B:
I think it was answered a few (many) pages back. Not sure if it's kernel related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Just installed r318 on Rasbean Jelly 4.2. It may be placebo, but the WiFi driver seems GREAT! WPA2-PSK. I run my own email server and connect to it using IMAP Idle with both Kaiten Mail and Aqua Mail. AM was previously unusable with RBJ 4.1.2 and r300 - the idle connection would always drop. Kaiten Mail had to be set to refresh it every minute, or it to, would drop. So far today, both devices (N7/GNex) are alerting, almost to the instant, when email arrives. Whatever you do, PLEASE keep IMAP Idle as it is, or better :D

192/1305 - Interactive - Deadline - 60/65/45/15 - 537 Screen Off - 537 Input Boost/729 HiSpeed

Are those still the recommended settings? Seems to be running great so far (only a few hours, but tried out a lot of things).

Thanks Franco!

P.S. Just downloaded r318.img and put it in kernel_backups. Opened up FKU and flashed it. Don't know why anyone would mess with .zips?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Hey everyone. I'll be out most of the day since its my first thanksgiving. Happy thanksgiving for all you US residents :)

Everybody let's put franco as our favorite developer for the xda thanksgiving contest (on the front page). I already put in my post. When it comes to android I am certainly thankful that he's around to make my phone better and thus extend it's value.

a facepalm droid. still i have no idea if it's working or not. my little app isn't updating anymore =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joaquinf:
Franco has released 3 test kernels for 4.2. They are located here and there is no flashable zip available you need to flash it via fastboot or the fku app (please, instructions are all over the place in this thread). You can't update it through the app because it's a test build and franco hasn't released a public nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotakyi:
It does look smoother, but it still takes 1.5~2s for the in-game clock to move 1s. As someone stated earlier, the game detects the phone as high end. The game lags because of the reflection on the ground(no reflection on stock kernel). Yes it is playable, but not the way it is meant to be played.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Flashing franco r318 through FKU on PA 199.1 gave me bootloops hmmm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malaroth:
But a "thanks" while you got one, is in order as well. Yes I'm still learning but I followed your earlier instructions and it worked perfectly. I've gone back to wait for my rom to get 4.2 but despite the frustration you helped again and again. Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah that is definitely troublesome! :laugh:

But if everyone would at least read the last 2-5 pages and search the thread for their problem before posting it would both help people get answers sooner (by helping themselves), and make it so yesterday would only be 20 posts back instead of 100. ;) I feel there are a lot of new people dropping in, and that's cool, more the merrier, but reading the last few pages at least and searching the thread are necessary behaviors for XDA. I think that was even in the "n00b vid" when you sign up. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Anyone using a PA299.1 and r218 combo? bootloops?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aR_ChRiS:
Edit: Apologies for being ignorant, didn't know that the PA team has released a beta version of the rom. Maybe the PA team has done changes in the ramdisk on their default kernel thus making the Francokernel incompatible with the PA rom yet.

Once again sorry for all of the misunderstandings, peace.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
Someone reported that they can't flash r318 with new PA beta. Might just be them. Who knows, if anyone is brave enough to try, it would be appreciated :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
PA299.1 is based on AOSP 4.2, smart ass.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

I did try it and I get bootloops everytime I reboot now. Need to wipe dalvik/cache.

Funny enough, I can live with this. but I can't live with the lag I've been getting from the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
dam.. I don't get why that would happen. R318 worked on 2.99 but not 2.99.1? I hope Franco looks into this. I wouldn't be able to choose from PA or Franco, have to have both :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Just flashed my phone to Eclipse 4.2 build 2 ROM and added francos 3.18 kernel. So far no problems, no reboots, no SOD's, no lag that have noticed yet, WiFi working no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
It's not the kernel. It has something to do with 4.2 + TiBu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SahilC:
Have you tried the latest Trinity A4 with Ras?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shiesh1:
Is anyone else having trouble with WiFi connecting at times? When I reboot WiFi does not connect for some reason.

I toggle it on and off yet nothing. Didn't happen on stock kernel running 4.2.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
For some reason, ever since I flashed 318 my data is stuck on 3G and doesn't move up to H, anyone else facing similar issues?

Hotplug off by default. There isn't a better option, just try and use what you feel it's best for you..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lamecake:
Dunno if anybody reported it yet.. but i'm experiencing wifi drops with #12. Tried both roman and bigxie's roms, and reflashing build #11 fixes the problem. Anything i can do to further analyze the problem?

Anyway, loving the kernel & the clean app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
Heya Franco, are there any plans to add additional slots to the kernel?

For example some others have created a 180mhz, 520mhz, 850, and 1060mhz. Just curious on your opinion on these additional slots and if you have any future plans to mess with this yourself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Read this thread, it's not gonna happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Hi Franco, I know your kernel is less about features and more about functionality and efficiency but I am currently using GummyNex but with your kernel. Is it at all possible to include in the future the toggles in the dropdown menu that allow you to turn on/off things such as WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE, screen orientation?

I love what you're doing for this phone but I can't use the kernel if it doesn't have that simply because I flip the toggles on and off like crazy. I'll understand if you don't want do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
What are you talking about?

That's ROM stuff, kernel has nothing to do with the toggles in the pulldown notification menu...or then I totally understanded you wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Please get me logs, logcat or something, I am not experiencing such problems.

Thats not kernel related, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puzzlegirl:
Well I for one am delighted with the battery life I'm getting and loving the kernel. I have no lags whatsoever or wifi drops or anything remotely annoying. Since I worked out which apps were causing wakelocks and removed them, my phone is sailing. The battery lost 0% in 7 hours overnight and I still have 68% after 9½ hours of use: I'm a heavy user - have smartphone, will use intensively ;) Franco, I don't need to complain, I don't want you to add anything and as far as I know, I don't have any questions you've answered a hundred times before! So, thanks a lot for all the hard work and dedication you put in :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madmak:
Puzzlegirl - can you let us know which apps you found to be causing wakelocks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jan-willem3:
Had a little bit of problems connecting the first time but after a few minutes it connected and reconnects were basically instant but I made a log;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puzzlegirl:
The biggest battery killer was Battery Monitor widget and of course Google maps, though that isn't so bad since I turned gps off after accidentally leaving it on... I still use Lightflow, but toned down the usage since it is an app which likes to wake up the phone. I installed BetterBatteryStats and went through the dump file with a fine toothcomb. I still have automatic brightness on and wifi is nearly always on. I'm using AOKP Milestone 2 ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
Great! Thanks...another single-purpose app I can remove. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joaquinf:
Did you flashed the lockscreen or quick settings mod? Some users have been reporting that mod is causing the same situation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
Ah then it must be the quick settings mod - I completely forgot about that, I had installed both the kernel and quick settings mod last night. This morning I turned on data on my way to work and was wondering why was it showing just 3G.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimcr7:
Maybe its causing by ramdisk change
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoscoeDpG:
so far last few hours running smooth on r318
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
No it's fine. Its 4.2 and tibu that are incompatible and were causing problems for me and other users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
What. No that has nothing to do with kernel and I think I figured it out its because users flashed Franco kernel right after flashing ROM, so it could either be that or they used some zip with messed up binary. So as long as you use boot image and flash after letting PA load up it should be fine. (Probably) :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
No I'm saying the issue wasn't kernel related at all. In the PA thread we realized everyone who was having boot loops were restoring lost of user apps with tibu. I got boot loops even without Franco kernel installed. I'm now running Franco and the 4.2 PA without issues. There's some incompatibility with tibu and the new pa or 4.2 in general.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmbabu:
That's nice to know, so are you using PA 2.99+1 with r318 kernel? If yes, what about your WiFi? I use WEP at home and if r318 isn't compatible, that would be trouble too :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] despard:
Just got a reboot with r318.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tetrakinitis:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yup. Known bug of the RGB Gamma interface in general, from the beginning of time when Ezekeel created it. Nobody knows how to fix it. Not really a workaround or anything, but by raising the Trinity contrast and messing with the multipliers you can get some leeway with the green gamma. Here's franco's recent statement on the matter which I found by simply searching the thread for the word "green" :good::

Best franco could do is change the app so it doesn't allow the negative values, but that doesn't allow for the cases where you can lower it like I stated above, and I'm sure people would likely complain about that as a bug too. ;)

I'm on Bixie 4.2 odexed ROM and i I would try to install r318, my simple questions are:

1) With my rom + r318 is possible to increase the max volume audio? if yes after flash Franco can i use the FKU interface or i do it only through terminal comand?. (I read a few posts above that there are some problem with less loudspeaker sound, is true?)

2) What's the best way to go back to stock bigxie kernel after flash Franco (if necessary)? specifically With TWRP is possible safely backup only the stock bigxie kernel or i have to make a full nandroid backup?

1 on 4.1 yes that was possible but its still early days for 4.2 and not yet possible to my knowledge or been implemtemted as we are still on test builds (hoping for it soon :) )
