Thanks! Will try this out..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kostas1601:
Can someone please explain what these features do exactly?

The first one boosts the volume of the speaker right? if I run

echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/soundcontrol/volume_boost

Is the audio quality bad? Has anyone tried it? I ran echo 2 yesterday and it sounds ok...

Also what does high audio performance actually do?...

Thanks in advance..:D

Franco kernel updater

Enable Fast USB charge:

Suggest that there should be an indication or even a warning that when this is turned on, the device will not be detected when connected to a USB port although there will be fast charging.

There is such warning in AOKP JB ROM when Fast charge is turned on.

This will help those who may wonder why their device is not detected without realizing that it's because Fast charge is on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrAk0H:
The first one boosts volume in headphones only. The second activating high performance mode for audio system (low power is default). High performance mode is expanding dynamic range.

What's your screen time like? Also, doesn't setting the color multipliers over 200 run the risk of screen burn in?

i use these exact same settings and i get 14-15hrs battery life with nearly 3 hrs screen time. im pretty sure it doesnt burn the screen... or i hope not lol

Are we sure about this? I thought that with a stock kernel colors were like setting 400 400 400. 200 200 200 Seems way darker than what display looks like with a stock kernel and I don't think they would use values that could damage the display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Whats everyone stand on a Kernel backup/restore interface in the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
I rarely back up. Maybe once a month
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tarun95:
Stock kernel also has 200 not 400
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
To back up any settings I'd just use titanium back up so I'm not too sure if its really needed I use the power controls daily and editting those would be good and an interface to save multiple colour profiles would be welcome.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
It's not an interface to backup settings. Its basically this:

1 - Flash stable kernel -> backup using the new built interface

2 - New omfgpwn kernel is released -> auto-flash it

3 - Want to go back to stable kernel without any hiccup or you just don't have internet access or a computer nearby -> no problem, restore previously backed up kernel

I already finished it and its working wonders and I made it modular enough to port it to other interfaces like color control.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
I could have used this... I had a problem going from 240 to 241 and I couldn't connect to the network. Had to go back to 223 which I downloaded a while ago then find 240 and go back to that. This backup would have been helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
My thought is that a revert built into the app is minimally helpful. The revert is usually needed because the phone won't boot. If the app saved the old kernel as a flashable zip and left it on the sdcard, that would be best. This way if the phone didn't boot, you could revert to the old kernel in recovery without issue.

Just my two cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prembox:
Sounds like a darn good idea...reminds me of my i9000 days when using the smooth Tegrak..to .restore the prev stable kernel that I had backed up and restore it even though I was in a dungeon.....this would be a welcome functionality to the FKU! Go for it....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
cool idea - also how about a way to backup app settings? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prembox:
Great Idea.....especially when the phone won't boot....yeah..happens to a few...but can revert to the prev one If one feels that his devices is acting a lil nasty or unsatisfactory....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Now you have explained properly I think it sounds great. I thought you meant a simple settings back up / restore. Sounds like your idea has good potential!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
This is what I was thinking also. Unless it backs-up the current kernel to the sdcard0 as a flashable zip, I guess that'll work. But i'll have both custom kernels on my sdcard0 regardless. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Its also planned, but I'm only one, will come in due time.

Its a cool idea. I'll think about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
That's what Titanium Backup is for :rolleyes: .. Unless you're talking about backing up the franco.kernel app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RevengeFNF:
Auto Brightness controls the bright from 0% to 100%.

It happens that on most phones, if we set to 15% or less, the grays will become purple.

So its possible to set the Auto Brightness to go only 15% to 100%? I don't know if that is even possible.

New franco.Kernel updater version 6.0:

6.0

* Add a Kernel Backup & Restore dynamic interface for the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SIII. You can backup your kernels as much as you want and with a single click you'll be able to restore whatever backed up kernel. This is specially useful when you're testing new kernel versions and you want to fall back without having to deal with the recovery. Not available to the One X due to not being possible to flash boot.imgs in the system without S-OFF

* Added fsync setting for the One X

Should be up as soon as Google adds it to their servers.

Hi, I'm on stock 4.1.1 with #241. I find it a great kernel altogether but just wanted to ask a couple of things.

- I don't know why everyone is having such great battery life. I mean, has it changed much between this kernel version and previous ones?

I'm using an extended battery and I roughly reach 3h screen-on time. It's not bad at all, but it's neither GREAT!!!OMFG!!. wifi and 3g all day on, most of the time connected to a wifi network.

- I'm having a lot of WIFI drops lately. I tried with 3 different connections and the same happens. Its connected ok but it sometimes dissconencts for a couple of seconds to then connect back again. Anyone experiencing same problem?

I'll try another kernel to check if this is the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] murdah204:
What ROM are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etche:
But the thing is I didn't have this issues before, so I'm not sure if its the last kernel version or not. I need to do some testing. Is there much battery draining with this option on?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savant:
How far can you set the battery life extender and will it do any damage ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I believe 96% was the default level at one point for this, heard of others setting to 100%. I have never come across a post reporting damaged or exploding battery's so you should be OK.

@Franco, about this new kernel back up feature, the file is named to .IMG is it ok to change it to what ever and it not damage the md5 so it won't restore? Or maybe if the naming system could be made to reflect the build number as the IMG is generated by your app as a minor update?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrm43:
hi, just wanted to verify some steps when flashing r241 kernel. I came from trinity kernel and wanted to flash franco kernel r241, can i just flashed (using CWM wipe cache, wipe dalvik then flash) the kernel on top of my existing trinity kernel or do i need to bring it back to stock kernel before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dascjb:
You can just flash over existing with cache and dalvik wipe

Wheatly corner is being me awesome battery life. However I noticed it has periodic slow downs compared to interactive. Is there anything I can do to tweak it to scale up faster or something?

I'm quite dissapoonted with it. I don't do much gaming. Lots of chrome, whatsapp and tapatalk.

Nope, I bought the original one. I sometimes switch them to compare and I don't see a big difference

I'm trying it right now and its working a lot better. I'll have to test it for a couple of battery cycles. Thanks!

Guys, is there any way I can boost the speaker volume with this kernel? I don't understand what most of the features do...if there is an FAQ explaining what wifipm and thermal throttle etc actually are, please point me there...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
yea think u can use franco kernel updater and turn up the volume boost. or check the op and theres a command u can do in terminal, but it doesnt stick after boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
What volume that settting increases (I'm talking about increase max volume 0-3)?

Ringer? Overall (games etc.)? Phone? Speakerphone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
That's for stuff over headphones, anything played while you got something plugged to your 3.5mm jack.

@other guy WiFi pm fast boost WiFi signal / strength but uses a little more battery, the difference in battery drain is basicly 0. Its good to stream music for instance with screen off. If you look for a thread in the theme section you will find a few thread by difference people to do with audio stuff, I'll let you decide which one you need. Thermal throttle, basicly when your phone gets hot will reduce the CPU speed so it won't fry its self until the CPU has cooled down. The phone reboots if it reaches 110 celcious.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hanny:
thx for the cool feature franco!

heres one idea: i think the new backup/restore tab can be moved to the last (right of calibrated voltages) cause i think we adjust the settings (OC/UV/color/etc) more frequently than doing a backup/restore.

I think your users will be happy to see it! :D cheers :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Also worth mentioning WiFi pm fast only makes a difference when the screen is off, as it keeps the wifi from going to a lower powered state. Screen on it's no different as wifi is already full power. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcampbell:
There are reports that sleeping at a lower min CPU causes the phone to never wake up. Some people have found making a higher "min" speed helps this.

The battery savings from a super low min speed is quite negligible for me anyway; maybe it's different for other people.

That's funny, by itself, Trickster MOD does not apply anything. Did you smoke crack, considering I'm using my app with franco kernel ATM?

Hi mates,

I rooted (using WugFresh Root Toolkit) my already-unlocked GN JB yakyu, and upgraded the CWM recovery to 6.0.1.0. Now I'm not sure wheter to change kernel to Franco's or not in order to improve my battery life.

So I have two questions: 1) If I change kernel to Franco's will I still be able to receive the upcoming OTAs from google? and 2) Which kernel should I install and how (I haven't found any reference document).

Thanks a lot :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
You will get updates from google. But they wont install/flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
That'd be after I install any non-Stock Kernel?? Or upon unrooting and installing CWM recovery (with it) I'm already non-elegible to receive OTAs from Google??

-pardon my ignorance-

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:

I need some help. I've been running francos kernel forever now. I favor AOKP. Recently I installed the nightly from the 13th and since the 15th . it boots fine with the AOKP kernel. If I flash the 241 nightly it won't boot. It takes me to the lock screen then freezes and restarts. Is anyone else having this problem? Are there things to look for? Please let me know.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
I know there's plenty of claims about the best SAMOLED color values using Franco's Updater app, but here's the best results I found for my screen:

R:122/G:128/B:200

R:-10/G:0/B:7

OMAP4 Gamma = 1.0 (or 1.2)

I don't have anything selected in Trinity's Contrast

I have Content Adaptive Brightness enabled (but thats just me)

You guys should try these values out and report how it worked for you. And yes I know every SAMOLED panel can differ from the next, so yea, YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hanny:
some may answer you that AOKP is not yet a stable rom and i can even agree that their default faux kernel is unstable on JB nightlies causing random reboots and SODs.

however, as im always using franco kermel, ive encountered ZERO problem with franco kernel + AOKP JB nightlies since they first released. everytime dirty flash when update. ;)

try factory reset

format system

flash aokp nightly

flash gapps

flash franco kernel

reboot system

then you should be fine

when nightlies update,

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

flash nightly, gapps, franco kernel

done! :D good luck

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Rom issue, use market enabler or contact your rom dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Wouldn't this depend on whether the task needs to go to the web? If your background task needs to wait for a response, then wouldn't it be better to stay at 350hmz instead of 700mhz?

Also what about reading? If you are reading it would be better for the CPU to clock at 350mhz instead of 700mhz.

I'm not fully convinced that 700mhz is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
About the relationship between the phone lagging on lockscreen and the minimum clockspeed, why doesn't the phone lag when running the stock kernel (I assume the stock kernel uses 350MHz)? Franco has tweaked his kernel a lot, then at some point this lockscreen lagging problem was introduced. Maybe it was caused by some of the tweaks? The 350MHz shouldn't be the cause because the stock kernal has this (I assume) and doesn't lag on lockscreen. Just my opinion.

Also, I'm reading a lot of positive comments about version 7.1 (no lags, good battery life, etc). Then from version 8, Franco started playing with UV, clockspeed etc. Maybe some of the changelogs from version 8 onwards is the cause?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I would like to quote this post. Which explains quite well why it's a better idea to run at lower frequencies instead of high frequencies.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16702647&postcount=1839

The key part of the post is this one here:

Which would be in our case:

925² x 350 = 299M power units

1103² x 700 = 851M power units

And the quote from Wikipedia

In addition: The device manufacturer may be not perfect but they are not as stupid as we might think. The reason why our CPUs have the ability to underclock itself is because it saves power. Otherwise we wouldn't need any governor or low frequencies so the manufacturers could lock the CPU straight away at 1200Mhz and just use the deep sleep state to save energy. Which, I reckon, would save them quite a lot of money if they don't have develop all this stuff.

And finally if your statement would be correct then it would be a stupid idea to use the conservative governor because it changes the frequencies slower then interactive. But according to your theory faster is better so we should use the interactive governor because the CPU could finish tasks faster.

Don't take it wrong. I really like this kernel and how it performs. I just don't agree on this particular point. I don't want that you change something because of my post. Just consider it and that's fine. I can still change this things in SetCPU on my own. I don't want to discuss this as well take it just as a little input. You're the dev so you're the chief.

Keep up the good work.

Just tried switching from fraco kernel 9.2 nightly to the lean kernel about an hour ago (experimental from 1/4). On default settings, I had my first spontaneous reboot. I guess I'll be sticking with Franco's kernel from now on! Never happened to me with any of franco's kernels in weeks now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DivinityCycle:
Yeah the hard part to control for here is ROM- and user-specific settings / tweaks with regard to lockscreen behavior.

I, for example, just have my lockscreen disabled, but in the past I was sometimes using face unlock, sometimes using LockerWidget, and sometimes just using stock. However, the "stock" wasn't stock for this phone, it was AOSP stock, which (I think) was slightly different. Point is, this could lead do varying observable behaviors.

This isn't even bringing in what other processes may or may not be running in the background.

Is it correct that if ANY process runs sufficiently high in the CPU usage, it will make the governor begin throttling up the CPU? So like let's say I receive a text message, and this triggers off some reactions on my phone. Could that throttle up the CPU? And if I then go look at / unlock my phone in response to said text, it could already be running at a higher-than-idle rate, so I don't see "lag"?

I may be over thinking this :P
