franco ... just noticed, my GN isn't going into deep sleep since 9.2 ...

didn't change anything on the rome since 8.0 ... also no new app ... :confused:

beamed in through my brain ...

With this setup:

1200max

700min

with Interactive..

Under Profile with screen off:

350max

350min

with Interactive

This is what I got lastnight...http://
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
not a good value i think...

u were in flightmode nothing else done and drained 5%

i was last night at wlan perma active no flightmode and drained 2%

for me i think its best value reached yet when i just leave anything to the kernel and dont do anything myself. didnt set or change or install anything to be able to change somewhat. running 9.1 with agb rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
You shouldn't use those setcpu profiles. You don't actually need them. Franco prolly can confirm this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
The video is currently being processed at youtube so it will become available shortly - http://youtu.be/sV4JCXg3GFI

This is a preliminary test. I realized I can not measure accurate enough the current draw due to the limitations of the multimeters (on 200mA scale the voltage drop on the multimeter itself is too big so the phone wont even start, and on the 10A scale the readings are with 10mA increments). I'll build this evening a custom current measure circuit that will allow me to read with 1mA resolution.

Until the video and the second session will become available, here are some preliminary numbers.

Test condition:

- rom: bigxie's build6

- kernel Franco's #9.2

- governor: interactive

- freq range - 350-1200

- airplane mode ON (so the radio, signal level and wifi will not create additional leakage)

Device at sleep: reading less then 10mA (obviously)

Device awake, doing nothing (maximum brightness):

- black screen: ~140mA (0.55W)

- white screen: ~360mA (1.4W)

- red screen: ~260mA (1.01W)

- green screen: ~270mA (1.05W)

- blue screen: ~300mA (1.17W)

- grey screen (~50% grey): ~220mA (0.86W)

- my average dark homescreen, autobrightness on: ~170mA (0.66W)

Real-life situations:

Playing a 480p movie (dice player):

- autobrightness: ~310mA (1.2W)

- max brightness: ~390mA (1.51W)

- min brightness: ~290mA (1.13W)

Playing Asphalt6:

- autobrightness: ~400mA (1.55W)

- max brightness: ~490mA (1.88W)

- min brightness: ~370mA (1.43W)

Average picture display - quickpic:

- autobrightness: ~200mA (0.78W)

- max brightness: ~280mA (1.09W)

- 50% brightness: ~220mA (0.85W)

- min brightness: ~160mA (0.62W)

Forcing min-max frequency to fixed points didn't revealed big differences (due the fact that in stand-by the cpu is not utilized anyway):

- 350MHz: ~160mA (0.62W)

- 700MHz: ~180mA (0.7W)

- 920MHz: ~180mA (0.7W)

- 1200MHz: ~180mA (0.7W)

- 1350MHz: ~190mA (0.74W)

Antutu benchmark: peak at 720mA (2.74W).

... to be continued ...

P.S.: If you have any suggestions of tests you would like to see in the evening session, please drop me a PM so I can make a list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grinch247:
and how do you have setcpu setup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] incomer:
Radio

Don't know if it is the right thread to ask this, but you're one of the best developers here available so I hope you can help me with my problem..

I've some problems with my signal strenght, on GSM only in the test menu(*#*#4636*#*# and then telefoninformation) it works great and I got everywhere full strenght, but its only 3G(slow internet)

When I set it to automatic switch between WCDMA and GSM(PRL) then it prefers WCDMA(because it is faster/better/newer I think) but in my house I havo 1 bar or zero bars with it, but it stays looking for WCDMA(it won't go back to GSM fast, so I got on average 10 % signal lost on WCDMA/GSM auto (PRL))

Is there a possibility to 'tweak' this and add a rule, that when the signal of HSDPA isn't strong it goes to GSM faster and earlier(so by 1 bar go back to GSM)

Hope it isn't offtopic(don't know where this problems belongs rom/kernel?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jan-willem3:
It might be your simcard new cards have sometimes better singal strenght dont know how old your one is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
I don't think brightness will stop the on screen drain. I have my brightness set to 10% and the drain is still very heavy, I have never got more than 3 hours screen time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] incomer:
Got the sim new with the phone, so he is maybe a month old?

I'm on Vodafone right now

Btw nice to see you here, bought a GN too? (recognize you from the JWMIUI rom of the HD2)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nnnnr14:
I did and look it has CPU 0 and 1 does this just mean both CPUs? I set both for 1.6

I got 99 problems but bamf ROMs ain't one! -nnnnr12
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] velis74:
I ran into a bit of a problem here:

Flashed to milestone 5. That worked fine for 5 minutes.

Then I decided to try out the franco.voltage widget. Attempting to add it to the screen rebooted the phone.

After that, the phone reboots immediately upon booting - right about time when there would be a notification about franco kernel updater getting su permissions.

Do I have any way of removing the widget from homescreen or disabling it before it activates? I figure the phone is responsive for about 5 seconds before that widget loads. Too little to uninstall franco kernel loader, I think (if that would help at all).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
I'm curious. Is it possible to have the kernel up the GPU speed in such a way that you get all frequencies? So instead of either 384 or 512 (as it seems to be now) it'll up to 384 and *then* 512? Basically the same way the CPU scales but with 4 frequencies instead of 3.

And has a frequency above 512 been tried?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
anyone got similar things?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
Not sure I understand your question/ problem. Can you rephrase?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
i meant the CPU runs on 729Mhz during play music when screen off while it used to runs at min speed such as 192/384/230 etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
Did you change the Max Screen Off Frequency to 729mhz?

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

Can someone explain what above_hispeed_delay is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
Just hut 4 hours screen on time with 25% left m5 m5. w00t w00t
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
What were you doing? That doesn't seem like much at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
my overall min is 230 and yes max screen off is 729

but regardless the max screen off, shouldn't music be running on 230? it used to runs on 192/384 whatever min speed that I had with franco.

by the way, my governor control settings are default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
Web and music. That's the best I've achieved. I'm on the stock battery too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
may I ask, if you just play music with screen off, what clock speed does your CPU runs on?

I tested with CPU Spy by resetting it, play music, and after a song i go check CPU Spy again.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
@Schizophrenia, not sure why it's clocking that high. I personally have my screen off max frequency at 384mhz.

@leets4uc3,

I think you can probably improve that quite a bit. But perhaps it's the web browsing that's doing it. It should have many hours of just regular music streaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
There is:

- reboot into recovery

- start adb

- type 'adb uninstall <packagename>'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitewallman:
Thank you for Franco.kernel updater! And thank you for adding the backup option..

This may have been covered, but I can't find it. Is it possible to make default rgb values 0 0 0 instead of the current -4 0 5?

Thanks,

Tony
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
Its stays at the min freq on interactive. On Wheatley I know it does now. Interactive is the greatest right now.

@hungry man

Really? This is the best I got. I can get a day and a half with music and 1 hour of screen on time. I have high quality sound checked in the app, other sound improvements from another thread.

What settings are you running? Music is major for me and stock CPU is enough. I was running max at 729 for a while and didn't see any lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sachilleas:
Franco Kernel + Xenon HD , auto brightness just not works as it should. When i am going from a lighted place to a darker one there is no automatic change in brightness. The opposite works correctly. I must lock screen and unlock to identify the new brightness. Is there a solution ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Color multipliers dont stick for me. r241 & MiNCO v4. And yes, I followed instructions ;)

When entering the color multipliers and changing the values to my liking, upon leaving the menu they revert to stock settings.

edit: n/m, another reboot sorted it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidholic:
Franco, do you plan on having BFQ as the default scheduler for all your kernels going forward? Is there a possibility for you to add or offer other schedulers through your app for those that prefer other schedulers?

Personally, I prefer your previous kernels before you introduced BFQ as the default; they were ridiculously fast, both on my phone as well as my Mac tethered to my phone's data. Keep up the good work!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darthaled:
hi, I bought the franco.Kernel updater, where I can find a guide or a optimal configuration for all option that FF made for us?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
That totally depends on your usage pattern & personal preferences. Just try the different settings out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotnikkelz:
Color multipliers stick for me but the gamma doesn't. Reverts to 4 0 5. Like the changes though :) Looking forward to the color profiles
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Off topic but is there a reset Kernel for 4.1.1? As far as I know the one for 4.0.4 hasn't updated... Is it ok to use the old version for JellyBean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Why would you need that? If not sure, wipe chache & dalvik, then flash kernel. If using Fransisco's kernel updater app, everything is taken care of.

Happy flashing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Well when flashing different kernels some files from previous kernel might stick around and cause problems. Thats why I was asking...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yeah I said last night I would do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savant:
Its because people don't read and they expect it for free.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepawn:
My phone seems to have trouble detecting its on an AC charger vs USB. I checked "fast charge USB" at the moment, but that'd be a pain to have to switch back and forth... I checked back a few pages but didn't see any chatter about it.

Basically I had put the phone on my POGO desktop stand, which leaves the alarm clock visible but dim, and it died after 4hrs.... poking around I noticed it said "charging USB" instead of "charging AC" while on the stand or directly plugged in.

Anyone else run into this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
weird..

i just noticed my color multipliers values are not sticking after reboot too.. RGB Gamma reset to 0,0,0 after reboot too.

FYI, I am on latest SuperSU, and just did a clean install of everything, ROM, Kernel etc and the Franco Kernel updater version also is the latest..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Did you re-set your colors like I wrote in the changelog? There were some major changes in the ColorControl layer, there might be bugs, but everything sticks for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
There is no guide. Your guide is your head. Try, search, experiment, crash, re-install, burn your device, whatever you want, but its best if you try everything for yourself. Asking whats "best" or "worse" isn't gonna do any good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Leegalaxy:
My apologies regarding my post about Google services not connecting on WiFi. Turns out that about the same time I installed milestone 5, a tree in my backyard ripped out my cable connection. Now it is working just fine. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
actually i did

but it did not stick the last time i rebooted for some reason but the settings are sticking now

sorry for my premature question and thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Easiest way would be to set them via init.d script and also in the app, that way it's as close to "always" as you can get. See the OP for the command.

Right, but WHY when it doesn't for the other gammas, and can't it be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bioan:
Franco any idea why sdcard uses so much battery? It's on the second place of battery usage. Has a cpu total of 21 min.

Using minco and m5. No settings changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No idea. Probably you have something corrupted and the media scanner is trying to load it, in vain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
Has anyone tried patching the franco kernel with PaX? I'm surprised it's even possible considering the kernels have only just merged in 3.3/3.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jiia:
Seriously, what is the point of having no 512 GPU OC option with milestone releases? "Because it's supposed to be stable" is not a valid reason because it would be OPTIONAL. If you want the best performance with Franco's kernels you can't use the milestone releases. So brilliant >_>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
...Was it your intent to sound ungrateful and arrogant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wisefreakz:
@franciscofranco can you tell why since ICS i cant hear any sound when playing Monster ate my Condo? I use stock ROM.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
I'm just using 241. Works fine and as far as I can tell there aren't a huge number of changes between it and M5 (if any?) - and the 512mhz GPU helps for games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Some months ago I would give you a proper non-nice answer, but I just don't bother. Don't like it, don't use it. I already explained countless times why I don't provide Milestone with 512mhz gpu.

No idea, I don't play that game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
your welcome to go and develop your own kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prembox:
Aww...what a Douchebag!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nightlies here we go:

r246:

* Merged around 20 Wi-Fi driver patches from Google's android-omap-3.0 repository

* Merged a newer Wi-Fi driver version

* Some fixups from android-omap-3.0

* Some previously added patches reverted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
Updated through the app and wiped then cache partition. Working perfectly so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THS1989:
Why do I even bother upgrading lol

Each and every kernel version you release is AWESOME.

Keep up the great work Franco !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dxdiag32:
goona to have a try on 246:)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
230mhz still uses the same voltage as 384mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
How can you confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
I'm going by the franco widget. And the fact that I can set the 230mhz to any ridiculous voltage (0 for example) and it doesn't crash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandyqb:
milestone5 + minco v4 = AWESOME

standard battery, smartreflex enabled, auto-brightness

:):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sachilleas:
Does the latest nightly improve wifi signal ? (whoever has installed it)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
Doesn't seem to have. Either my wifi is crapping out (VERY possible, it happens often) or its got a slower connection than before.

Again, my Wifi does crap out/ slow down often. I can't be sure if it's one or the other until I test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahse0w:
a noob question perhaps but if i have set a min cpu frequency at 729 and the max screen off frequency at 384, does the cpu goes to 384 max or 729 instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcocsh:
How can you achieve 4h screen time???:confused:

I never achieve that even I enable smartreflex and use 20% brightness. My max is 2.5 hours only:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
it goes into 384 max when it's screen off, the min of 729 will only take effect when your screen is on. hope it helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahse0w:
thanks for the reply.

i am not sure if its working correctly.

if min cpu is set at 729 and max screen off is at 729. when i want to change the max screen off freq, i can't change. the app won't let me.

but if i set min cpu first at 384 and max screen off at 384, and i change min cpu to 729, the max screen off stays at 384.

my question is that does that number really reflects what the cpu is doing? or just a graphical bug...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5nickers:
how do you enable smartreflex? the franco app only have the option to disable smartreflex or am i not possible to see this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
with Xenon vX, m5 has intermittent wifi signal with Xenon vX and r246 has no blue connection at all.

went back to v9 and the same thing with r246, no blue wifi connection at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Smartreflex is enabled by default from stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
It's either enabled or disabled, so if it ain't disabled...? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Blue connection is connection to Google services, it has nothing to do with your wifi signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
thanks for the quick response, but even twitter/facebook won't refresh. will try different combos later of kernel version+rom version just to cover all bases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thats odd. I've been getting good feedback about these newer drivers though.

I will be using the GN today to see how it feels.

Drop a post later when you gather more feedback from your experience please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
updates:

tried r246 with my current XenonHD v9 config, intermittent wifi.

nandroided back to v9 + m5, no problems.

clean flashed XenonHD vX, together with gapps 8-02 by eos (just in case you needed to know) and r246. wifi is still a b*tch to me. had to use Mobile Data to download Titanium for recovery.

will try m5 with vX after recovering all my apps since i plan to stay with vX unless that's the culprit.

my laptop's fine with the wifi (currently using it to post) but my GN still isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
A noop question, if it have been ask for many times, I feel sorry for that.

Do I need to clear the Franco's app data before I flash a new version of Franco's kernel? Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
nope, the only thing we wipe is our butt here, just flash over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
Oh:)thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
Seems to be the same according to my router before and after the flash. The fixes were probably about connection reliability rather than signal strength boost. WiFi on the Nexus looks like it will always just be satisfactory rather than excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
I used to have connection problems in 4.1.1 stock and Milestone 5.... not really signal strength, but stability... it wasn't really stable!

Let's see with these new drivers and fixes! Will report back soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtag PH:
Update:

M5 worked okay with vX, but not as reliable as with v9. Now testing 246 again. Could be the rom, will see later in the week once I get hold of my spare GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I use milestone 5 with stock JB. No issues so far. Just as stable as stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rnjsgurwn96:
When I autoflash the new nightly, it won't go over the google logo on reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prembox:
Did you click "Bring it On" ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
guys, does your "Apps" menu (in Settings) freezes for a couple of seconds?

I don't have many applications... around 50... but when I select on of them, it freezes the phone for about 15 seconds or so...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexcyn:
Mine did the same thing.

Of course.

I ended up re-flashing the nightly and it's working with the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I thought the "accidentally touching the screen when flashing" bug was fixed? Today my thumb accidentally touched the screen and I lost the download progress, (seemed to be stuck at 0% anyhow), when I tried to get back to it about 30 seconds later the Franco App FC'd. Liking what I am reading about the r246 kernel though. It's applied now and I look forward to this WiFi stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
My wife and I both have Nexus' and we both have wifi issues. I just got them in July so I had JB on them from day one, so I can't compare it to ICS at all. But I've tried a number of ROMS, and I've settled on AOKP for both. And no matter which kernel I run (Franco, Trinity, Lean) I have crazy wifi problems. Google Voice app will usually just lock up and not send. Can't make wifi calls very well (I have a better connection with two bars of 4G), and my high end router is sitting 10 feet away. :( Is the Gnex just crappy at wifi? That makes me super sad. Are there any boosters out there that actually work?

btw, I have Wifi_PM Enabled--that is a GOOD thing, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
I think it was my wifi last night. Seems to be fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
It's been quite a while since I ran Franco and I think I need to take an hour or so and figure out what all the new settings in the app do. I had been running Trinity and I had always just left it be. I flashed 246 last night and everything seems good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kappa Lamda:
Although I use settings 384/1228 and max off screen 384 all freqs undervolted 384 to 850mV,729 to 960mV, 1036 to 1075mV and 1228 to 1175mV , when I try to undervolt 230 even to 850mV same as 384 my phone becomes unstable and I even have several hot reboots, shows boot animation and ask for SIM pass again!

Has anybody noticed problem when undervolting 230 freq?

This happens to me with several releases such as r241, m5 and r246

Edit: With r246 I get hot reboots all the time even with 230 voltage to stock!!! Back to 241. M5 had worse battery than 241 for me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
I get 4-4.5hrs of screen on time with moderate usage @ 50-75% brightness. Check for rouge apps (try Better Battery Stats app) or buy a new OEM battery.

No wifi issues on my end. r241, m5 (and now 246) have been working great for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clepsy:
Also here absolutely no problems on wifi, maybe it depends on the router type, I use a cheap cisco e1000 getting an average of 30mbps down and up, and it seems to be limited by the phone because on the laptop I use to get around 40, since 50 is the maximum limit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I have zero wifi problems with this latest kernel. Working great here as it has been since Franco has been doing JB kernels. I don't notice any difference at home or at work. Router at work some mediocre Linksys router, my router at home is a Netgear WNDR3800.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
Ive been browsing heavily on 4g and even watched some Netflix and angry birds. I could easily get three more hours screen on time. Im surprised to hear others are straining to get 3 hours.
