another NEED FOR SPEED person?

WHY did you say it didn't work with PA, when the issue is a stupid game whose code has proven to be crappy over and over again? ONE stupid game and you say this kernel doesn't work with an entire ROM? :confused:

Do a search in this thread for NFS or "Need For Speed".

"Need For Speed": http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=134426297

"NFS": http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=134426549

Dozens of complaints about this one game -- and ONLY this game -- and they are all traced back to coding incompetence on the part of the game makers. Finally someone posted a fix to bypass their idiotic restrictions. Has nothing to do with Franco or his excellent kernel, has nothing to do with Paranoid Android ROM.

EXACTLY.

See? Why didn't you mention this to begin with?

What he's talking about it for some reason the game makers see Franco kernel and automatically think the phone is some quad-core, massive GPU phone. Yeah, games play differently based on whatever phone you have, details of the graphics, etc.

And THAT fix makes the game act like it should with your phone, instead of miscategorizing it as an SIII phone. ;)

Sure. We've already covered the behavior with franco's own kernel, now I'll demonstrate what happens with another developer's.

A version change could immediately throw off any "grab up to the first n characters" (eg. 3.0.61 vs. 3.1.0 - remember this app works across multiple devices), and regardless, nobody wants a 15 character long filename for their images. Logistics aside, this is a lazy request; if you know what your kernel is called and what revision it is, then name it yourself.

Thanx for a prompt reply.

Well, it happens on every ROM including Stock 4.2 and 4.2.1. This issue only appears only in Google Movie Studio and never happened before on previous Android versions 4.0.1-4.1.2. Everyone can reproduce this bug in Google Movie Studio. I've tested on 10 different Galaxy Nexus unit: all Nexies were on stock ROM installed from scratch. I guess Google screwed it up in rolled out update 4.2 and still haven't fixed in 4.2.1 version.

To replicate this bug is easy: import some clips in Movie Studio project, then apply intro transition anyone you'd like and try to replay project from the start, or just skip from one clip to another one, and then try to replay project from different trim points in timeline, and voila message comes up on the screen: Can't preview project...an error, or Movie Studio will exit to initial list of projects.

I've as well confirmed this bug to Google and there were some responses as well regarding this bug from other Galaxy Nexus owners with Android 4.2 and 4.2.1 versions, but no response from Google yet. Hope they gonna fix it in the upcoming update 4.2.2

Thnx in advance.

n = franco sets max limit - so adding helpful functionality that replaces manual tedium is lazy? Then this entire app is lazy since you can do every single it does without it from the command line!

Riiiiight. :p How often are you backing up kernels that your life has become an endless nightmare of typing out kernel names for f.Ku's backup function? What makes more sense: you typing in the appropriate name once in a blue moon when you actually use the function, or, Franco supporting parsing all the myriad build string formats to something concise enough for the dialog?

I'd like Franco to make it change the # to r so that the suggested name matches the naming on minooch.com but I wouldn't hold my breath for that one either. ;)

Your really better off playing with the tunables to achdeive greater smoothness than over clocking. Plus the over clock will effect battery more than messing with the tunables use 15/95/0.7/45/15/85 and just try it with stock CPU speeds first (so that's 384-1228) and perhaps try row or cfq as those seem smoothest to me. The other thing you could try it messing with the read ahead value but you'd have to check back on Osmosis posts for the command to do it, apparently 512 is working well from what I have read. So there's a bunch of stuff to try but over clock should be your last resort as its most resource hungry

Ok so here it is one more time an init.d script "how to" set the read_ahead_buffer size on boot. Follow the following steps and enjoy.

Using any root explorer app go to /system/etc and create a new folder named init.d (obviously, if you already have one there is no need to create it again :sly: )

Set the permissions to drwxr-xr-x or 755

Download this file

Make sure it doesn't have any extension

Copy the file you just downloaded into the /system/etc/init.d folder you've created

Set the permissions of the file to drwxr-xr-x or 755

In that file i've set the read_ahead_buffer size to 512, to change it to any value you want to the following:

Navigate to the path where the file is located /system/etc/init.d using any root explorer

Open the file as text

Change only the number (512) for any value you want

Save the file

Enjoy

Done, now you can get rid of trickster mod and use fku :)

hispeed freq 729 mhz (= 0.7)

inpust boost freq 85 ?????

Inpust boost freq is gray and says "not supported in this kernel version"

Then you talk about ROW / CFQ. Where can i find that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Nicely done, sir. I think you put CRs (carriage returns) instead of LFs (line feeds) in that file though?

If it works then I guess it doesn't matter, but if it doesn't, that might be why. ;)

Edit: Doh, forgot I changed font from Terminal to Fixedsys, that's why. Disregard.. :p

No 85 is for target_loads

But Ray.. Seriously, you've been in this thread long enough.. you should know how to find settings in f.Ku by now and how to search the thread for answers.

I understand your point. Since the app has been set to my own language, i think i'm lost there....sometimes. Now i just downloaded and set the "99readahead.txt" file. Is it possible that FKU had less permissions without this 99readahead file? i really have the feeling i now have more options then before.

In the meantime i found almost everything you have mentioned....except the target load. Could that be the one below "Wifi PM Fast"? It is written in Dutch. If i translate: "Extend Battery Life - which is now set to 100".

Where can I find the cpu sample_rate for myself?

t_r default value (and by default i mean google's stock value) is 20k. 15 was a test and tests shown that 15k gives better results than the stock value. The so called "sweet spot"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
yellowdie's post is actually mistaken there, if you go back to franco's original posts on the subject it's not the CPU sample rate, it's the max CPU transition latency (the max time it takes the CPU to change from one frequency to another), which is at 30000 µs. Franco hypothesized things should be smoother if timer_rate was the same as that, but in the end decided that 1/2 was even better. This might be because 30000 µs is the max possible, not necessarily what the realtime latency is. So yup, I think 15000 µs is our sweet spot, just slightly lower than the stock default of 20000 µs.

The other thing we keep proliferating is that they all need to be multiples of timer_rate, that's not necessarily true either. The only one Franco originally thought would be important as a multiple was above_hispeed_delay; we just made min_sample_time a multiple too because we felt like it and it worked well. ;)

My Galaxy Nexus died tonight. Either Franco Kernel or Rascarlo ROM is the suspect. Naturally I think it to be more likely the kernel, I was on the latest release 364.

What happened?

I am charging my phone at my bed, this morning i took it from the charge and noticed that it was warm and the screen black. After the usual battery pull, power button presses and key combination tries, it remained dead. On a different charger, the whole phone starts to heat up. Same like on the original one. Disconnected from a charger, the top of the phone gets quite warm but besides that its totally dead. The phone is about 4 month old.

My conclusion was, that it hung up last night in an unfortunate way. Hours in that condition, parts of the electronics were fried.

Hope I can get it fixed/replaced within the warranty, despite custom flash. Otherwise I might be Milestone user again.
