Agreed...the Galaxy Nexus while built by Samsung, was purposely not made to be better than the other S2s either because Samsung would lose money...future Nexus phones should be even better now that Google owns Motorola Mobility...there shouldn't be any limitations...it'll be interesting to see where the Nexus lines goes over the next few generations.

a little noob question what does SQlite defrag do ? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emerica243:
Whats your guys thought process on the best governor config for my normal use pattern.

I have the phone screen on alot, i usually find myself just turning it on every now and then and flinging around the screens. Texting is probably the number one use of the phone. Only a few calls a day. Some music playing, facebook/twitter checking. And some instagram/photo editing.

So far ive tried the following configs but cant seem to pinpoint if im hurting myself with the frequencies i choose or what not.

OnDemand

Min 192

Max 1026

Max screen off 192mhz

Wheatly

Min 192

Max 1026

Max screen off 192mhz

Right now im running with OnDemand 192/786 Max screen off at 192.

Im just wondering if somehow making the minimum on the governors 386 instead of 192 somehow be better in batt life because the cpu wont have to jump around all the time>

It will defrag your embedded SQLite database on boot. This is for theoretically speeding up data reads. Defragging was/is important for plattered (mechanical) hard drives. However, since seek times are near 0 for solid state memory, the actual returns you'd see from this are almost certainly negligible.

franco.Kernel updater app version 5.1

5.1

Galaxy Nexus: Custom power mode interface cleaned up from 95% of its bugs:

* Now you can delete modes

* It updates the app settings when you select a new power mode

* Protects you from using Franco Power Modes and Custom Power Modes at the same time

* Custom Mode list automatically updated when a new mode is added

* When creating a new mode it won't save until every field is set

* Lots more in the background to prevent derping

One X app part will be updated soon as well

Been switching back and forth from kernels but 190 is the smoothest of all fo the new ones lately
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
No kernel out there is faster than Franco's lol. I tried every kernel out there, Trinity, faux, glados, popcorn, Jame bond and air kernel. Non can match the speed and battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Yeah I've used all the 180 series but kept going back to 181 since it had the best battery life using the same settings and with same usage. Just flashed 190, hope battery life is just as good as 181 if not better:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jer_stud56:
Got less than 3 hrs battery life on 190. Phone was held awake the whole time but screen wasn't on. I'll reboot and recharge to see if it continues just figured I would share.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
Just flashed 190 and everything seems good so far. I am very excited to see how the new tweaks to interactive are. I was just recently trying trinity and everyone raves about the trinity blue that the kernel gives the screen by default. Has anyone figured out how to get this kernel to look like that with our color multipliers? I'm guessing it would just take a few tries with the kernel app. I do have to say the screen looked pretty cool with that blue tint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Can anyone direct me to either an explanation online or perhaps a post in this thread which explains all the governors for francokernel?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I'd like to know what has stopped my data drops.. moving from BlackIce .38.1 to AOKP 38 or Franco 189 with new wifi? I was on AOKP for very short time before flashing 189. My drops have been gone essentially since I flashed 189 kernel. Very reluctant to flash new nightly with old wifi. Where can I get 189 if 190 brings back problem. I don't see option in Franco app to try older.

Why haven't you looked in the OP? Why haven't you clicked on the download link for the nightlies? Why are you expecting others to do the very simple footwork for you? Why do you think its OK for others to spoon feed you for such a simple task? If you can't do something as simple as going to the OP, clicking a download link, and choosing the respective kernel of your choice, then you have no business posting here on XDA. :D

What's wrong with you dude???

It would be cool to be able to switch power modes on different situations. For instance performance improved on screen on and battery life improved on screen off.

No, but you can use tasker to create homescreen widget which changes governor and min/max freq on one click. You can even create task which changes gov/freqs when some app starts (example: you are using weathley, but when you launch music app, governo changes to ondemand automatically, and when music app closes, gov changes back to weathley).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
r190 has the old wifi driver, the same as r181 and below. r185, r186 and r189 are the only builds with the dodgy wifi driver. It most likely has nothing to do with your data drop issue though.

And yet equally:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
Just curious, did you wipe Dalvik or Cache when you first flashed the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
Yeah in CWM recovery I do a full wipe, cache wipe then dalvik wipe before the ROM then again before the solo Kernel just to be on the safe side.

Was strange, After flashing AOKP 12 and Franco 8 I was getting like 5200 in antutu, I reflashed both again in the same CWM session and got the same rubbish antutu, so I recovered AOKP 11 & Franco 7.1, re-benched and got like 4800! so then re-flashed AOKP 12 on its own, got 6000, flashed Franco 8 got 6200, OC'd Franco 8 and got 6500 so happy now :)

Re,

Testing nightly #8,now for the battery don't really know but seems good.

Perfs are great at 1.35Ghz,the general UI is much faster,more responsive (opening windows,menus),there really a difference,benchmarks are also very good and especially some applications launch really much faster at 1.35Ghz :eek: :D

Very very good work!

OnDemand governor.

Just one thing,with the nightly#7.1 i had a score of 580 for Database IO...

Maybe soon a 1.4 * Ghz kernel? :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
To overclock, get an app such as SetCPU and drag the bar from 1200 to 1350 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dubbeld00:
8 also feels a bit slower in the app drawer (going from apps to widgets), in 7.1 this was smooth, now it will stutter a bit.

Battery usage is great! It's really a big difference between the stock and your kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jenicekk:
franciscofranco: is it posible to tweak the color more? for example to add blue color so that white color wasnt with yellow tint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aron7awol:
I've found the Database I/O scores to vary greatly from run to run, so you really need to run the benchmark a bunch of times on each kernel to discern any statistically significant difference.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

I've found using interactive governor eliminates this lag for me, and judging by my CPU Spy splits, it isn't spending much more time at the higher frequencies to be worried about it affecting battery life in the grand scheme of things.

Anyway, the battery life is so fantastic on this device that I'll always err on the side of performance when I'm deciding on settings unless the battery hit would be drastic. This is why I happily OC to 1.35 GHz. In neither case is the battery hit much at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thanks everyone for the reports everyone, its very important for the maturity of this kernel =)

By the way Im using conservative, seems awesome since I tuned it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
Thank you. I'll give it a try.

Anyway, for samba streaming I've discovered BsPlayer and is working fine, w/o the need to mount the volumes.

@Franco,

I saw that stickmount app. has been updated to support ext4 and ntfs. I've tested and at least the ext4 is working OK (if you are browsing the files as root that is). The NTFS drive will mount (reported as) but I do not see anything in the mount volumes list (issuing the "mount" comand within the terminal is not reporting any ntfs drive). I was wondering: your kernel has ntfs module built-in ?

I'm thinking that being able to mount volumes with files bigger than 4GB will allow people to play hd movies from a memory stick w/o having to split the file.

Will do if reoccurs. Haven't had much time fooling around with my beloved as kids on flu.. :)

Now, time for another cm nightly love & franco kernel. Definitely noticed improved app drawer scrolling (ADW EX + 4D + transparent bg, i.e. the most demanding combo), although I got to say Nexus does amazing job regarding that already compared to older phones with GB. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidholic:

You gotta be kidding?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pan466:
hmm sorry i didnt read 2020 pages and i am new to francos kernel but i did a search and figured out that franco doesn't like 512 gpu. but i guess people are doing it or am i wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
You don't have to search and you can be new here, but why don't you just reat that 1st post in this thread? There's a link to ftp where you can find all builds, including r190 512mhz.

Edit: Try 512mhz build first, if your phone can't handle it, flash 384mhz build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
To be fair there is no mention of the 512GPU in the first 50 posts, and the files on the site don't say anything about it either.

For clarification, all the archives here: http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Galaxy Nexus/nightlies/ are 512GPU builds, the archives here: http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Galaxy Nexus/nightlies/gpu_384mhz/ are 384GPU builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
I'm sorry pan466, i didn't remember that there's nothing about 512mhz on filenames in that ftp, so it's a little confusing. But like rogersnm said, all builds in index folder are 512mhz builds and 384mhz builds are in gpu_384mhz/ folder.

I recommend you to buy francos app from play store. You can download and autoflash all milestone and nightly builds via that app, and you can change cpu frequencies, governors and other kernel settings also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pan466:
ahh soo that was the problem, i was thinking that default ones are kernels with 307 mhz gpu clock hehe...

Thanks for clarification everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
All milestone releases are with 307mhz gpu except milestone 4, milestone 4 comes with 384mhz gpu.

Galaxy nexus gpu hardware default frquency is 384mhz, google just underclocked it to 307mhz, so you can safely run 384mhz builds, and if your phone can handle 512mhz it boosts ui and games nicely, there's no much difference on battery consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
The point is that the temps peak easily but the majority of the time they are at reasonably low levels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Oh, gotcha, I love Franco kernel but I can't run new build cause of the very high temps I get, 80°c+ which are not normal IMO In comparison 2 stock kernel and few other kernels which don't ever get over 58°c with HEAVY use . 100% stock settings ....

With the kernel I use currently I run 770/1540 wheatly 384 gpu with core OC 5% SF on, no UV and never reach over 60°C with Heavy use ( I don't play games, games would probably send alot higher ...)

. So seeing 102°c seems crazy to me but if ur OK with it all gud: )

My opinion don't yell at me; )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
The stock kernel has a throttle point of 64C, throttling is pretty damn effective so it's not surprising you rarely see the temps go any higher than this. Franco's kernel raises the throttle point to 75C, which is good IMO, but it does mean you'll see noticeably higher temperatures.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KingDavid63:
Great job on the clean up of app as far as power modes went, great job man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Yes I no, been running Franco kernel on and off since day 1 ( b4 he had the phone) and I've read all 2000+ pages of this thread, I no all about his raised limit, and everything else he's done, I'm just saying in comparison to other kernels and my 11 other android phones ( 6 of them Samsung's) it gets to hot For ME, the phone IMO should not be so hot I have to pull away from my face when making a call ( OK its not that hot but u get what I'm saying ) Franco's kernels are BADASS and they are the fastest/ smoothest out there I just don't care for the heat that I get .

Obvious we have different opinions so probably should just end this here .... have great day/ night
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
If you asked Franco nicely you might be able to get this implemented: https://github.com/Ezekeel/GLaDOS-nexus-prime/commit/305047721564c2a9773d66ef67c05024688f612d :p

hey guys, wanna try rascream, but i´d like a smaller navbar. already posted in question/answere section, but no one aswered. may be you got an idea. i´d like to try rascream, my problem is told in my own quote:

"Hey guys.

Got a little question. Using AOKP at the moment. I like the option to set the navbarsize myself. Is there a possibility via mod or flashable zip to get change the navbarsize? Found a flashable zip to change the size to 2/3 of the original size. but i´d like to have 24dp =1/2 of original size.

can anyone make a flashable zip or mod to change it? i´m very addicted to aokp, because there´s no other rom that makes this size possible. always when i try other roms i get back to aokp because of the navbar. the size of 1/2 of navbar is pretty perfect to me, it´s still very responsive, but uses less space.

i´d be very greateful for some help

I plan to test your theory (this weekend) because I find it quite odd that all of sudden the data drops go away and ironically when I looked at the details for 189 it had a new wifi driver. I was running 181 previously and I was having data drops daily, while I could re-coop with a reboot or cycling wifi on and off it was consistent. Now it's gone and 2 mornings in a row, I have had IM's and emails and my network connections are active. How do we know the wifi is suspect for these other people? Where's the logs etc showing the wifi as suspect? I want to see if I get problems they had. I wonder too, is there any other kernels out there that use this new wifi driver and will stick with it? Seeing how new wifi is removed from this kernel.

Personally, I tried rascream for a couple days and it's a great rom but i didn't feel it outperforms aokp. basically just a lighter version with less options/settings - no custom backlight settings was the one i missed most. i'm currently running the latest aoskp b39 which is an added feature version of aokp from euroskank - the same team that builds rascream. anyway, there are no bad roms out there now if you are using with franco's kernel, just have to find the one that works best for you. now back to kernel discussion.....
