Obviously people with issues are going to be louder than people without and thus steer this topic & kernel development in certain directions. As one of the users without a single issue at all (including your 5 testers), no freezing, boot loop, signal drop, etc, I'm interested in knowing what needed to be changed to make things stable on all the phones that were having trouble? Am I better off keeping #14 and whatever new optimizations were included?

I just keep picturing the process in my head in a certain way and I have no idea if I'm totally off. I picture you, Franco, spending 3-4 days coming up with new tweaks, optimizations, refined code, new commits, a fix here and there, you like what you have so you send it to your testers, they like it and all is good. Then you upload it and a somewhat abnormal number of people start reporting issues, many probably legit but a good number with ridiculous setups and combinations of mods/roms/faulty hardware/ etc, who knows what. So you start frantically undoing a lot of stuff you and testers previously deemed worthy of development, worthwhile improvements, and stable. The end result is a slightly modified and pedestrian build 13.1.

Anyway, that's what it would seem like. Could you explain a bit more about the development behind #14. I just have a hard time reconciling the absolutely flawless performance of 14 with that of people who claim they can't even get to the boot animation.

Noticed a .24 mb difference between 14 and 14.1... something was deleted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I couldn't have said better myself =)

It's simple. Yesterday I did a change in tuna-display drivers trying to reduce more of the yellow tint, so I commented the 8500k to D65 color changes in all the three structs that defined the display ****s. I noticed no changes in my screen, but I forgot to revert that, and since I had no issues I never thought of it. Then I realized that I forgot it, and I only reverted that patch from #14 to #14.1. It's the only thing that changed :) But the scenario you pictured is not very far from reality. I wonder how my testers still talk to me in a daily basis, as I usually send them a few kernels per day and I bug them around for hours asking for input, bugs, battery etc etc. They deserve as much as credit as myself when building this kernels, make no fun of it ;)

That's because I used another toolchain just to rule out a possible toolchain failure. Google's NDK 7 caused me few problems in the past with the NS so for a clear conscience I used another toolchain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradm23:
I'm noticing a really fast in use drain while browsing the web as well as my phone getting a little warmer than usual. Like always I will give it a few days to settle in and report back with some better results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
I don't know what people's problems are!! My phone seems to be running nice and smooth. I personally think it's the mods these guys are adding to there phones! Just saying. Not every mods you guys see you need to download!! Then complain the kernel is giving you problems. Keep up the good work Franco ;-)

You don't know what you are talking about....

14.1 with under volt works fine with me on a brand new apex rom. Thanks Franco.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
well , i have had zero issues w/ any of the kernals thus far but i find it odd how many of us on here were all having the same issues with no signal when screen was in standby.

The only change i made was updating the kernal. Heck I didnt even know I was having a problem until my wife came up and said she tried to call me and there was no missed call or anything.

At this point I reset all the undervolting , wiped dalvik cache , installed 14.1. I shall report back.

Also on aokp.

and my battery drain is quite strange (screen attached)

Temperature CPU idle never go under 50°C

can someone help me ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phazmos:
5 hrs battery life is about normal with constant usage. and it looks like you were using the device almost nonstop. nothing to unusual here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Another possibility: f.Ku and Trickster or SetCPU conflicts have been known to raise temperature, and lower battery life (found this out on the N7 side). Flash my Emergency Reset Zip, disable any built-in ROM performance controls, and make sure you've only got one control app installed and see if that helps. Also maybe look into your wakelocks with BetterBatteryStats to make sure you aren't running any rogue apps.

Edit: Check my sig. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ivan93tm:
Thanks a lot osm0sis :) where can I find emergency reset zip? Maybe I made something wrong with this settings :) I will try to resolve the problem as u said :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Is that ROM an Android 4.1 ROM and not 4.2.2 ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ivan93tm:
nono, is android 4.2.2 but in succession of rootbox rom is 4.1 stable version XD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Someone mentioned this in nexus 4 thread (forgot who but thanks!) viper4android https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS52aXBlcmNuLnZpcGVyNGFuZHJvaWQ0eCJd for those who love music on their phone and like using the kernel sound mods with this kernel. Viper4android is a music effects / eq type app which works brilliantly and is along the same lines as DSP manager from cyanogen but even better and comes with a play store installer. I'm recommending here as I'm truly impressed with its results! Sound quality seems increased and its stupidly loud when used with the kernel sound mods from here!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Looks like DSP Manager/AwesomeBEATS, but I guess they all do to an extent. :p

I still prefer Noozxoide, even though parts of it are pretty buggy, because it works system-wide through all apps, instead of just in Google Music and other Music Effects supported apps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Ah that's the one thing viper is lacking, system wide boost for the piss poor speaker on gnex! I'll try it, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I take it noozxoide works with ringtones and navigation? Can't really test if its louder with gf asleep right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] büscher:
If you use nexus louder: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748803 it works system wide, even in call is louder. Nexus Louder also uses noozxoide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yup! Noozxoide creates a Virtual DAC that gets between all the apps instead of just the ones that use Music Effects EQ/DSP. That doesn't include system sounds like notifications, ring tones, alarms or call volume but the Louder Mod will handle all of those! I just recently ended my hiatus (now that we're pretty much done with kernel tinkering) and got involved with the latest and greatest, V7B5. Highly recommended. My personal settings for it and the crappy GN speaker are linked in the Louder OPs. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
OK Osmosis you convinced me to move away from my literally stock bar this kernel set up :p got twrp, flashed nexus louder (latest) but uninstalled beats, I tried noozoxcide for a bit but it looks messy and it didn't really do much for me. How ever I'm very pleased with the nexus louder mod and viper to me sounds better but haven't tested music play back with nexus louder yet, will do that on my way home tonight from work. Disabled kernel sound mods for now till I properly test other wise I will be deafened!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njiki11:
I don't know why my maps are like this. I think it could be hurting the battery..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Check out my setup, linked in the Louder Mod OPs. Noozxoide is messy looking and several of the options are buggy, but it's the only EQ that works system-wide (I tested it with some games), so in my opinion it's worth putting up with. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Hmm I might give it a try again then. Read through their thread there's all this talk of an n series, does it exist yet or is noozoxcide a dead project?

dvb-t support

hi,

there's a chance to include the compiled dvb drivers into the kernel to use droidtv and watch dvb-t?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bombadier:
Another request would be CD-ROM emulation for use with Drivedroid That would be cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
After having messed around with it and listening to some tunes I'm very pleased with the results! On n7 the volume was all over the place but I'm in the process of setting it up the same as gnex and see if setting as system app helps. The UI is bad, too much text and doesn't fit and is cramped but the sound is worth it on my headphones. I'll stick with it, thanks for the recommendation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Nice! I had separate settings for the N7 that helped kill some resonant buzz I was getting, but I had to stop using it over there because multiuser causes it to force close. If you're setup is single user then you're all set though! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Not had any buzz yet but was only able to listen to 3 or 4 tracks coming home, I use Google play music and pretty much all of my music I uploaded is 320 kbps mp3 so perhaps see if you can get better quality files. My n7 has 2 profiles and iv just installed the n7 louder patch and noozoxide and chose the same settings and not had any force close yet, not tried playing anything yet though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
GB man and os, what rom are you running on the gnex?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abalam:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Personally I see nothing wrong with the actual stock rom, its fast enough, relitivly stable, decent enough battery and I'm not really a big fan of all the features that get packed into some roms. Back on ginger bread I wouldn't run stock but it was ugly. If the speaker was better I'm gnex I wouldn't even have flashed the louder patch. Seriously the stock rom is under estimated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 15israellai:
Stock is perfect for me except the few imperfections that I can't stand - inconvenient quick settings, battery icon etc. I wouldn't be running ROMs otherwise.

BTW will try out those mods you guys were talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekMcLeod:
It's not that there is anything wrong with stock. I thought stock was awesome when I first got my Gnex. Until I tried PA that is. IMO, Once you try it, and see the differences in size for apps, you never go back. Everything on stock seems way too big now. That's the one feature that keeps me with PA. Plus, I'm way too used to using pie now.

Pair PA with Francos kernel and it's superb.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
I've been trying to get a decent performance and battery life with stock 4.2.2, but no matter which settings I try with Franco Kernel, my battery life was always quite bad. With normal use, which usually consists on browsing Tapatalk, using Whatsapp, G+, Gmail, Phone, and whichever kernel mod app I was using at the time, my battery would be completely drained after less than aprox. 12h or use with less than 2h of on screen time...

Are you using the stock factory img from google, or some stock rooted rom? And may I ask which settings are your favorite with franco kernel?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah it'll start force closing once you switch accounts, sometimes right away, sometimes only once some audio plays. Too unstable for my liking there. Still the best on the GN though. Happy to be able to use it here. :)

Yup takju factory image here (link in my sig), with a few apps I don't use disabled. I disable Basic Daydreams, Earth, Email and Exchange Services, Gmail, Google Play Books, Magazines and Movies, Google+ and Talk, Google Ears, Talkback, Movie Studio, News & Weather, and Picasa Uploader. All that really helps with wakelocks and speed, while still allowing me to OTA since the ROM remains intact. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I went stock, cm, pa, minco, stock.

Headphone boost and screen calibration, I use 192-1.2 deadline interactive

Makes sense it force closes since system is trying to load a disabled programme. Put noozoxide on your secondary account and enable it and I bet it won't force close ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Nah, that's exactly when it does force close. I've tried using it on only one, and on both accounts. Multiuser bugs. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Hopefully that's part of the fixes for 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
MusicFX doesn't FC, so it's a bug with Nooxzoide on multiuser, not with the multiuser framework itself. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veekay:
I've been using most of the settings from osm0sis on the PAC rom and been loving things so far. I get great battery life (8 1/2 days with 35% left) and speed. Just wanted to say thanks for the kernel and keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnricoTFYKD:
Man, you either have a nuclear battery or you meant hours.

I'm running r382 on cm10.1 and I like it. Not a single reboot, it lags just when I have way too many background apps running, and with Next browser I got rid also of the Chrome lag. Awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I'm gonna need battery life like yours as of tomorrow evening, got my mates stag do, 4 days with 3 nights camping. I don't think my phone will last, espicially using the camera. So heads up to all, from tomorrkw night don't expect to see me online and even if I get online I'll probably be too drunk to be much use lol :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
Thanks for the useful tips, but I have one more small question: with all those apps disabled, especially Gmail and Google+ come to my attention, what apps do you use to check your gmail/email or G+ feed?

Thanks again! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It's easy when you don't have a Gmail or G+ account. :p

For email I use Outlook.com, which is a pretty wakelock friendly app compared to the OS's Email/Exchange Services implementation of EAS. And official Twitter and Tinfoil + MB Notfications for FB handles my social networking fixes. ;)

I'm all about lightweight and simple. No push notifications. If the app misbehaves I find an alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veekay:
I have one of the expanded batteries and I'm not a big phone user, so mainly I just reply to texts and a few calls so I've been super pleased with the battery life after barely making it 2 days with my last phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotrodwinston:
Just want to confirm - if I reodex my rom with the cm10.1 odex script and a new version of Franco kernel drops tomorrow I can safely flash the new kernel without having to go back to deodexed right?

Just want to be sure.

AFAIK, odexing has nothing to do with the kernel.

It's the same.

It'd still be called the same thing. Those are the actual file names from the scheduler directory.

Only paid trickster gives you access to the io tunables. If that's what you have then set to deadline and go in and you should see it.

New r382-osmod up with a newer, slimmer busybox binary (for whatever that's worth), westwood TCP CAA by default (since Franco recently did this over on grouper), on-boot workaround for the finalized deadline tunables not being hardcoded, fixes to the lmk whitelist script, and the changes to the vm tunables Franco's Dev Team has in the final rounds of testing (basically just reverts them to their Android defaults except for a couple differences).

[snip]

If you're running any Franco's Dev Team init.d scripts you can/should remove them if you're running the above, since it's pretty much all included. We are also in the final rounds of testing lmk tweaks (in 925vm), but I left those out since we're a little less sure about them.

When in doubt, use my Kernel Emergency Settings Reset Zip to make sure you're running clean from control app and init.d interference.

[ r382-osmod has been pulled since Franco just pushed r384! :D ]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Tested at the highest CPU (1728 MHz) and the phone frozen and then I need to manually remove the battery.

Which did I do wrong? It is working at 1536 MHz and I'm running the stability test without problem, but I can't go further...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Highest is 1.8GHz, but seriously? Most phones can't run that high unless you're holding it in front of the AC with the back off, so that's pretty simple. Also, I have yet to see Stability Test cause instability under any circumstances, so I think it's useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fenvarien:
The new Osmod is working great, thank you Osm0sis! Is 975experimental included? It worked fine with my GNex in the last week ;)

Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Thanks.

Ok. I'm learning about kernels and I've thought it won't be listed if it is an "impossible" configuration...

Any way to test the CPU unless seeing it miserably crashing in front of you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Nah it's listed for those who like to do that crazy stuff for benchmarking purposes, but it's definitely not meant to run that high as a daily driver, and not all silicon is made the same so some can't run it at all.

Games and benchmarking apps are your best stress tests. But if you're running it with too high a frequency or too low a voltage, crashing miserably is generally the outcome. :)

Nice! The lmk whitelist and systemui/launcher priority stuff are included, since we've been playing with those for awhile. The vm heap stuff will never be included, since that's ROM territory, so that'd be the only part of 975experimental that you could still use if you like. Similarly, our unfinalized lmk minfree is the only part of 925vm that still isn't included.

I actually just recently chopped those 2 things into one script along with my color settings and that's all I run now for testing purposes. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Midomad:
Can you post that script?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Right now it's got everything that isn't in original recipe r382, some of which is commented out since it isn't required for r382-osmod. Maybe once we figure out what Francisco's going to include; but it's easy enough to edit together yourself if you're interested in trying those things. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gummie:
Just tried out the new osmod boot.img but I did'nt see the I/O tunables when I looked at it on f.KU :confused:

For example deadline still has 5000-500 not 2500-250 tunable, I don't know about the others if you had new updates on I/O but I saw different values when compared to the last 950iosettings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
r384

* Merge up to 3.0.85

* Merge two new patches for Interactive from Google
