Nice rewrite. Good design decisions. No more endless swiping to change voltages. How about then setting voltages to set on boot, the app automatically if not available downloads an flashback.zip by which you can restore this value? To prevent it from bootlooping. Or freezes just after starting?

Waiting for 300. What will be the features?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno86:
I was thinking this same exact thing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandyqb:
no more widgets, but maybe its only temporary... :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno86:
Like the new UI. Much cleaner. Set on boot for volt = win.

Missing the widgets from previous version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
I like the new UI of FKU v8, great work Franco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
My thumb was about to fall off from all the swiping I used to do in your old app when looking for voltages, great job Franco! New UI looks great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dehein:
I never used the widgets. For what did you need them? Just curious
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
My colorprofile is 135, 135, 215 but fku shows 135, 135, 135. No big deal. It works ok though.

I really like the new app. I just wish we could set a different min cpu frequency for screen on and screen off. (Right now I'm using setcpu with a screen on min of 384 for more butter and a screen off min of 192 for more battery).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno86:
Remember guys if you're messing with the voltage, don't check set on boot until you know it's stable...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradstewart:
Stock settings, 384/1228MHz with Interactive gov and Deadline scheduler and no changes to voltage. It wasn't a problem with previous releases of this kernel and I've tried a few others without any problems as well.

I'll try going back to r297 but this has so far had by far the best battery life I've seen on the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
Still waiting for AndroidPIT to update FKU over here :(

It's there! Installing now.

Scratch that, only the descriptions are updated, apk's still 7.1.5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaich:
In powermode section selecting an existing powermode closes the application:crying:

You can add a new one and it works, but you cannot do anything with the existing ones -no edit, nor set nor delete...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fenvarien:
Great f.KU update, the new version has really improved in many ways, the layout is much clearer and the new voltage option is just awesome :)

Good job Franco & the beta testers!

GNex with franco.Kernel / MiNCO ROM v5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Sure you can do this already you just min CPU to 192 or 384 and then set max screen off speed to 537 that way the phone will scale through speeds as needed. Remember the race to idle argument, faster a job gets done = more time to rest in deep sleep

Those with FCs and oddities testing out the Power Modes, try clearing app data+cache and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnricoTFYKD:
I don't like having 192 as my lowest screen on frequency, because I always feel some minor yet annoying micro lags (stock governor settings), yet when I listen to music I want my min to be 192 cos it's enough for playing. That's why right now I'm not using fku to set the frequencies. I'm fine with setcpu but the lesser apps I have running on the background, the better it is. :D

Probably this would require a background process or something else, I don't know neither if it's doable nor if anyone else is in my situation and would take advantage of this feature. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaich:
It has deleted all my powermodes. Well, I can always create more!:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psxsnake:
@franciscofranco

in new FKU 8 missed widget... :( why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
FCs can normally fixed by clearing app data and then rebooting to recovery and fixing permissions. Give that a shot if just clearing the app data doesn't work. And please let us know if it works. :)

As for the widgets, they're planned in 8.1 or 8.2. Franco's gonna rewrite them all from scratch and add in more. But that's gonna take longer so he wanted to get this out first. Should be much, much smoother, faster, easier, prettier, and more practical. All feedback is welcomed! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boki2911:
When R300 is expected to pair up with FCU
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
franco.Cernel updater?

Just kidding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chickentuna:
no eta's yet, until then we just need to wait. After all r298 is great, didn't feel the need to switch kernels. Upgrades are always welcome though :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Soon. Potentially this weekend, but there is no set ETA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boki2911:
After such good FCU applications, there must be better kernel

thanks franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Francisco:

Nice job on the new app.

Definite improvements in usability design. I like it.

BTW: take your time on r300. r298 is the best kernel to date IMO, will be a hard one to beat, and a copy of it will remain on my root directory as the "reference" kernel to which all future versions will be compared.

-bk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeroseek:
Running r298, 1228/384 max/min, 729 max screen off, no UV, interactive with stock franco settings, deadline sched., westwood.

Brightness on auto, all location setting on (except latitude), syncing everything possible save for facebook.

No games, moderate texting/whatsapp, heavy Feedly newsreader use.

That's it. This kernel just works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
Another observation regarding the NFS Most Wanted lag. I've done this testing with M6 and r298.

It seems that with this kernel, the game chose a notably higher quality rendering for faster phones which causes the game to lag on the GNex while on other kernels it runs on this 'lowered quality' mode to ensure smooth gameplay. I've seen this happening with Asphalt 6 on the Xperia arc (my previous phone), some kernels make certain games run at a higher quality mode causing it to lag badly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SUTHRNFRIED:
New layout on your app Franco is very sleek. Amazing job as usual. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
So before r300 drops... Did those of you guys who had issues with 3rd party launchers see any improvement with my init.d script?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Astug:
Loving the new app layout, very sleek but at the same time intuitive and minimalistic. Great job, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes... I forgot that users cant use their old power modes in the new app since the implementation is completely different thats why it crashes when selecting an old power mode. Clear apps data and its good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freibergisch:
Hi,

why I can't disable the second core in latest kernel updater app?

I didn't see the settings for this like it was present in app version 7 (at custom modes).

I'm on latest nightly kernel 298.

Help wanted :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timbck2:
One word - awesome! Everything seems in its place (before I felt I had to search for the settings I wanted). Great job Franco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Never had an issue with Nova.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thats not possible anymore, I don't want people to complain about crashed devices because of force disabling cores.

Someone asked about Widgets, they will come back in 8.2 or 8.3. I want to do them properly and my time will be extremely limited starting Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rschueg:
hi,

i'm on cm10 11.07 nightly, franco 298 und just updated franco's kernel updater to 8.0 from play store. also did this on my nexus 7, also cm10 11.07 and latest franco.

immediately after installation both devices rebooted.

i think this was not intended. :-?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freibergisch:
Thanks a lot for answer

Deactivating second core was an awesome function. But when it could crash my phone I prefer it to have both cores activated.. but this dont save energy like only one activated core did.

Frequencies and Voltages are not sticking after a reboot.

I updated FKU and decided to check to see if they stuck on boot. And they did not.

Troubleshooting:

--Cleared App Data and Cache

--Set Frequencies and Voltages

--Checked both to set on Boot

--Rebooted

The Frequencies and Voltages still did not stick. Governor Control sticks fine. Doesn't bother me but thought you'd might like the input.

(SuperSu is installed and BusyBox Binaries are smart installed)

Keep up the good work Bro!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hungry Man:
In the voltages there are now two more IVA frequencies?

Also instead of listing frequencies it lists "Core0" etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
Prefer the layout in the new version as its faster to work with but I really want to deactivate the second core so I reverted to older version.

Your work is appreciated though. Don't mean to sound unappreciative.

Tapatalked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thats weird, me, osmosis, yellowdie and minooch reported no problems with settings sticking :(

The top two IVA voltages are not used on the GN.

Yes, thats their name in the OMAP opp driver.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _chanstar_:
Then it may just be my phone which is good to know. We will see if anyone has any reports of the same issue.

But all in all, you have my 5 stars and full support!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
Settings stick fine here after a reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Disabling the second core won't save you any extra power, the device turns it off by itself when it thinks is safe, so no point in forcing it to go down and having the possibility of crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk8oldschool74:
I noticed last night after charging my battery I forgot to turn my WiFi off... the funny thing is that it drained less than normal w/ it on than it does w/ it off 3% less my phone usually drains the same every night but again last night was different??? Any thoughts frankos???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Hahah thanks guys. :D The reason I made it though was because a few people (ciprianruse88, amf100) were reporting lagginess on 3rd party launchers and thought it might be due to them getting bumped out of memory, which made me remember Franco's boot script for stock launcher and wonder if adding the 3rd parties to it might help. So I'd definitely like to hear from one of those guys, or anyone else who feels their 3rd party launcher is laggy should try it, and we'll know if it's really a necessary thing or not. ;)

Clear app data and cache, and reboot right away to make sure all the sysfs **** gets cleared. Then try setting it up again. Are you setting anything with any other apps like SetCPU, or init.d scripts? Disable those of course. BusyBox should be smart installed to /system/xbin/ and maybe try removing Franco from SuperSU and giving it "fresh" permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikarbach:
This observation I have made reproducible on my nexus 7 with blackbean6 and either franco kernels or leankernels. I have also discovered this by chance. Normally I have switched to a night profile with disabling wifi and all other network settings, like sync and so on. Once I have forgotten this I have seen that drain was only 2mA with wifi in stand by when screen is off and roughly 20mA in night profile. So now I never switch into night profile.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Cool! Thanks for confirmation. Worth adding it to your shell script, franco? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I can add that option in the app, easy to build a small option that runs on boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Sweet. :)

It just expands on what you had in /sbin/fixtunapower.sh though I guess if people could just select their actual launcher from an app list within the f.KU app then it would be future compatible with all launchers forever.. :D :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _chanstar_:
No SetCPU or init.d scripts.

FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING:

--Cleared App Data+Cache and Rebooted

(This time, it set all settings including Governor Controls and Custom Kernel Settings to default....good sign.)

--Smart Installed BusyBox Binaries to /system/xbin

(It was installed to /system/bin by default.)

--Removed FKU from SuperSu and re-granted Permissions.

--Rebooted and RESOLVED!!

Thanks bro!! That was much appreciated. I didn't want to reboot 3 times so I didn't test to see what actually fixed the issue but performing all 3 methods indicated worked!!

Cheers!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeandjaimie:
Loving the new updater app.. Soo fast. But can't find the high quality sound option like in older versions. Is it just on by default or moved somewhere I didn't see?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Removed entirely from the kernel itself because it's too buggy. It would cause in-call volume to be very quiet, which could only be worked around by enabling and disabling speakerphone briefly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes thats very easy to do ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeandjaimie:
Boo.. Noticed a difference in sound quality and listen to alot of music
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
Then revert to old one. No need to get nasty about it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeandjaimie:
How was that being nasty? I just said boo that it was taken out. Was disappointed to see a feature I used constantly removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
I have a little question for anyone that might know. Its not franco kernel related but it is related to the franco app. I'm currently running lean kernel (Traitor!!) and the app has the option to dynamically scale the gpu (when running a kernel that supports it of course) but it doesnt give the 3 normal values (307,384,512) as choices. It asks for a value to be entered. So do I need to add the "384" value there or does it use the scale like the commands to oc the gpu where 1=384 and 2=512? Its defaulted to "1" so thats why I'm asking. Also maybe it doesnt even work on the gnex and is reserved for the n7? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JBNex:
anyone solve that nfsmw lag bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Sounds like the NFS:MW bug exists because they coded it to judge device capability based on kernel and is perceiving the GN with f.K on it as being able to handle it in higher quality. Is there a way to force low quality on it via settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ak:
Its possible if kernel support live gpu overclock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Likely just something we missed where compatibility is concerned. That is for the N7s live OC interface. There are a couple GN options that slipped through on the N7 side too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Only thing I'm hoping that can be fixed in future version is the bug playing music through speakers with 3.5mm Jack with headphone volume boost enabled where music playback stops. Otherwise 298 is almost perfect :)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doomed151:
I've tried searching for such option but no avail.

Also, I've done some more testing and here's a couple of other kernels affected by this issue (so far):

Nyan Kernel Tuna

Air Kernel (it's much worse on this)

ZenSERIES

and below are the ones that plays the game fine:

Trinity

AK

Stock kernel / CM10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mpokwsths:
No way. Games don't judge the device from the kernel. They judge it by the build.prop and other variables. And the graphics quality wasn't better with Franco's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Just going by what another user reported. He said the graphics looked better and that's why it was slower than on stock kernel. Which would mean build.prop wouldn't be the deciding factor. Again, I don't run this game so I have no idea personally, just passing/going on what others have reported to see if we can get anywhere with the issue.

If what you said is correct, then the issue must be within the ramdisk. I'm no expert though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I have no idea what kind of **** business EA is doing with their apps, but an app thinking the device is high end just because it uses a different kernel its absolute bull****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
I have been testing the nfsMW and I can tell you it's something in the kernel, on stock CM the game plays like butter, once I flash Franco kernel is gets really choppy in the game play, the menu system plays fine, but when it comes to the graphics of the game running performance goes way down

I have got it to run fine but at the cost of oc and it's still not as smooth as stock cm kernel on the game
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amf100:
Oh I didn't have any lag. I was just explaining that I move Nova to system automatically, and that maybe that is why I don't lag lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Ahh okay, I don't think it being in system really makes a difference though. Well I wonder if the script had any effect for ciprianruse88 then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiarc:
Minor cosmetic nitpick, for the device monitor section it feels a bit awkward having the CPU's cores status at the bottom instead of the top. Besides that really great remake, it's much easier to navigate and get to where you need quicker and easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Just pushed a bug fix patch v8.0.1 which should be available very soon in your near Play Store:

8.0.1

* Add boot animation download to the background thread

* Fix share settings force closes when the device couldn't find the files to read from

* Speed up Governor Control activity start

* Fix LeanKernel activity occasional force closes when fetching the kernel versions could return null (hope its fixed for good)

* Fix Galaxy S3 force close when accessing Frequency option (email me if this issue persist of any kind)

* Add disposable dialog when entering Power Mode activity for the first time

Also added this version to AndroidPit, sorry for the delay guys.

Thanks for all the bug reports, emails, comments, appreciations, shares, hugs and kisses, its all very appreciated

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sqjzb:
Thank for the updating. Yay.

By the way, one quick question here.

I asked the question on the twitter but here I go. :D

Im using dark paranoid 2.521 toro with ur kernel. But I cant seem to make my usb connection working.

PC detects when my gnex is turned off and even in faatboot mode. But whenever I normal boot the gnex my pc just sont recognize my phone at all.

I Got the msg from window 7 saying NTIF cannot be insyalled. But as far as I know thats only happening when I turn ON the fast charge.. I double checked that fast charge is off. And even checked sys/kernel/fastcharge and saw it was on 0...

I think something is blocking the usb connection on the boot, but cant tell what..

Its not the usb driver nor the port issue. I reinstalled the drivers for three times, changed the line and even the the usb port on the pc.

Odd thing is, it dorsnt even charge my phone until I turn it off..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ppsx:
AFAIK you can't use data transfer while using fast charge feature. It's normal.

well, I'm saying it's off and the pc ain't detect it.. :(

AK was fast but after a reboot it became very laggy and unusable

Thanks for the awesome kernel and I can't wait for r300
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Is anyone having bugs in my app with 8.0.1 or are they mostly fixed? With this re-write I realized that it doesnt matter how careful I program or how many testers I gather to test software, there will always be someone with the weirdest bug or problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno86:
No bugs in 8.0.1 for me.

Just went through all the settings and tried them all by changing them. No force closes, connectivity, or lag issues.

Franco i have a question for you.. Why need for speed most wanted is unplayable with your kernel?? It' really really slow!! :/ with trinity or others kernels work fine.. There is a fix for this? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Franco did you see the bugs where someone with Trinity and your app on their GN had access to the N7 variable OC option? Also on the N7 side someone noticed that Power Modes for them has screen off max when maybe it should have companion core freq, gpu freq and CPUquiet settings.

Can anyone tell me where the Franco Updater app stores the kernel backup? I flashed milestone6 and now its stuck on the google logo. If I can find the backup I can reflash from recovery. Thanks for any help! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I'd suggest you read back and find out. I reexplained not that long ago. But really though, if you don't know you probably don't need to since your launcher is working fine. And people aren't flashing it they're downloading it and moving it to their init.d dir.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
I still think that milestone 6 is the smoothest version ever!! :D

I've never seen this option before, only after flashing Trinity and coming back to franco's.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Can you email me that? I will forget it here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
The default is cubic, Franco uses it because that's what the Linux kernel is defaulted to.

I think most ppl and myself would tell you Westwood is the way to go.
