I'll continue to support this device, specially if they bump it to 3.4 kernel as well. But my main focus will be the next Nexus line, with the soon-to-be new job I won't have time for anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fenvarien:
Thanks for your plans to further support the GNex, that's good news :thumbup: It's really amazing to see how much a custom kernel can improve this device! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Right now I'm running 192MHz-1036MHz, with screen-off max at 537MHz. I am testing hispeed_freq at 729 and input_boost_freq at 537. It should make my battery amazing, and so far the performance is fantastic! :):D:laugh::good:

SR will only ignore if you set a voltage below what it can handle--which is 830. So unless you want to set 384MHz below 830, then SR will still apply.

GAH!! I want an N10 soooo badly!!!! :( The N4 price is AMAZING! The N10 price is SUCKY! lol. I won't be betting an N4, but if Franco ever leaves the Gnex, then at least that will take care of my flashoholic problem. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derPianist:
BTW @Franco.

Will you include N4 into the Current Franco Kernel Updater or do we have to buy another app? :)

537 worked for 1 second for me... skips that step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk8oldschool74:
Franco I am getting some freezing and force closes on your updated app... WiFi is nice and strong like on m6. still notice some scrolling lag not to bad but noticeable... Using stock settings... Running r298
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Astug:
Working now and thanks for the hint. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
It will be all included in the same app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Ditto as some others...

I've gotten 537 for 1 second. Otherwise, the CPU skips that step.

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _chanstar_:
For those getting 537MHz for 1 sec, is your Max Freq for Screen Off at 537 MHz?

YellowDie mentioned his Max Freq for Screen Off is at 537 MHz which mine is at. I get 537MHz for more than 1 sec.

Franco, for verification, is our Max Freq for Screen Off suppose to be at 537MHz since the CPU State was implemented?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
What happens if you change go_hispeed_load to 70 or 75?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fleischbanane:
Hope that too. Just installed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901526

Seems maps is the battery-eater! > 350 wakeups. Next is system with 8 wakeups. But there was an update right now, so I will test it with the new kernel and hope for a day of battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fenvarien:
Now that's an awesome setup, I just tried it and couldn't believe how well this works. :) :good:

I put hispeed_freq at 537 too - still fast and very efficient.

And with this the 537 step is used quite often of course... ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
I didn't see 537 hit ever with 192-1305 (only changed min/max, left the rest of the interactive gov. settings per Franco's r298). Changed off-screen max to 537 and it is clearly hitting 537 with screen off. So the frequency works, just during the normal interactive cycle with a range of options from 192-1305, it prefers to hang on 729 for a long time and then jump down to 192 (or maybe 384 at times).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wavedashdoc:
What are the default interactive settings for 298? I had the boxes checked when I flashed so I have my tweaked 295 settings.

Does your kernel use kernel same page merging Franco?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Un-check the set on boot checkbox and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JBNex:
Yes, Franco Kernel does something to the adj file on startup which conflicts with Supercharger, right Franco?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
Thank you do much Franco for adding a mid step at 537. Will flash now and definitely excited for battery savings with high speed at 537 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Is there a reason it doesn't? I've read it provides a memory usage and performance improvement?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Francisco:

No dice. I tried both settings and 537 continues to be the only step that is unused.

I tried re-booting as well.

Sorry!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] six_dfx:
This would be the worst kernel feature to add for a phone, unless you don't care about your battery lasting a few hours.

KSM is good for heavily virtualized environments, but it's a tradeoff: more available memory at the cost of significant CPU time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JBNex:
Is this setup good?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
I tried this as well.

Still no dice.

537 just isn't used.

Hope this helps!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amf100:
I was only able to get it to use 537 with my settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Try setting your min and max both at 537, you'll see it works. The problem is if your input_boost_freq and/or hispeed_freq are at 729 or higher, then you're gonna spend time at higher freqs and then jump straight down to the bottom when load goes away. The middle ground isn't used much. That why I set input_boost_freq to 537, and my screen off max to 537. The the mid range gets used more, thus better battery and great performance.

No, try this:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
your input boost shouldn't be higher than your high-speed, or else your high speed won't be used as much.

you can try my settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thisguy23:
So you're getting the new nexus even though it doesn't have lte? Deal breaker for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
This I feel is incorrect. Franco ships his kernel with high speed at 729 by default and touch boost at 1036, and both frequencies are very balanced as far as time spent in these frequencies are concerned. 729 high speed gets used plenty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
i feel its better to have a higher highspeed, this way it starts off with your input then if it needs more, it moves on to highspeed. fracno's default has a higher clock, i set my max at 729, so theres limited options really :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lizaSB:
Can't wait to test this out! Tuesday is normally the day I need my battery to be a beast because of heavy usage and many hours of music playback, so I'll have a nice chunk of data for you later. Nice of you to allow me a chance to cycle my battery before then, too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
This is what I see too. You want the touch response to boost high enough to keep things (scrolling/etc) smooth. The hi_speed is just when your CPU is in a lower state, it knows the first "high" level to jump to when over XX% cpu load. I rarely notice the CPU staying at the touch boost speed of 1036, usually dropping down to 729 or lower asap. However, it does appear I see less 384, no 537, and mostly just 192 for lower speeds. I do get some 1228/1305 cpu speeds too (briefly) as I set the max higher. So it seems things are fine with stock settings, but maybe it holds too long at hispeed_freq and doesn't have a chance to drop lower to 384 or 537 without just deciding it is at idle and going to min cpu (192) in my case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Personally, I hate LTE. It's a huge battery drain and it's totally pointless. If I want speed, I'm obviously gonna use Wifi. If I'm not in wifi range (which is rare) then HSPA+/3G is perfectly fine for me. Just my two cents.

See that's one of the only places that Franco and I differ in the settings. I think that when I touch the screen, I want ti fast but not peddle to the metal fast; but when my CPU starts getting pressure, then I want it to ramp up higher. So prior to the 537 step, I ran 729 as my input_boost_freq and 1036 as my hispeed_freq so that when I touched it I spent a good amount of time at 729 and less time at 1036 (which is my maxclock speed). I don't want to always be at my max speed when I touch the screen. Now for people who are not underclocked to 1036 as max, then it makes more sense to raise the values a level. But that's just my opinion.

:):D:laugh::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Haha that is true there is not a lot of room to work with there. Just curious as to why you have this beautiful device underclocked to 729? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _chanstar_:
Yeah, 537MHz isn't hitting with screen on with the default governor settings. I prefer it default if Franco released it that way. Not sure if its working per design where 537MHz is only meant to hit when screen is off or if he wanted us to tweak the governor settings as many are doing. We shall see......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
OFFTOPIC: Lucky you that you have LTE available on your region, here not even the frequency bands (700, 1700/2100MHz) have been granted in license for the carriers to deploy their network, and it seems that the local carriers are not that interested in it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Not for me. I went from LTE LG Esteem to this amazing HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus phone. Verizon LTE is very overpriced and other carriers like Sprint and MetroPCS have wimpy LTE speeds. I'm getting faster speeds with HSPA+ on Straight Talk "AT&T" for $45 per month than with MetroPCS LTE for $50 per month. More speed and less money.

Plus, at home and work, I have fast wi-fi. When I'm out driving around the 5mbps - 7mbps I get with HSPA+ is fast enough.

___________

However, I just bought two of these phones in July for me and my wife (when Jelly Bean came out) and I can't justify spending another $800 (including tax and shipping) for two more Nexus phones when these two practically brand new phones work so well.

Galaxy Nexus + Franco's kernel + upcoming Android 4.2! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
because I really can't feel the difference between 729 and 1036, also there is a huge voltage gap between the two clocks, I'm under volted and these are my lowest possible stable voltages. For 729 - 875 mV and 1036 - 1025 mV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Had a call and low call volume bug is back. Had to switch to loud speaker and back to get proper volume. Using my headphones. Music definatlely seems better though. Seems to be one or the other is broken. I'd keep it how it is and have better music and switching loud speaker on and off for call volume to correct its self.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savant:
I turned the volume all the way and rebooted and that fixed the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
As a test I made hi_speed set to 1305, my cpu never hit the value just below it. It hit every other value all the way to, 192. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RevengeFNF:
How do you test the voltage, to know they are stable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
Keep lowering the voltage by 25 mV and play a video and scroll through app drawer really fast. If it crashes and your device reboots then it's not stable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It's amazing. I don't know why, but my touch screen just feels more responsive with this build. Even the soft keys. Awesome work Franco! :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OMFGNuts:
Hay Franko, any plans on GNex development after buying Nexus 4?

Franco I don't know if you have seen this, but highspeed_freq always overwrite input_boost_freq.

For example, highspeed_freq = 1036 mhz and input_boost_freq = 729 mhz, it will still go to 1036 mhz whenever the screen is touched.

Please watch the video I uploaded to know what I am trying to say.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajm786:
Just tried 298. It does something really strange.

So one of the things I am very sensitive to is sound output changes (I mix and master my own music, so I can pick up on this stuff pretty quickly :D).

298 makes a continuous high pitched background sound, when the sound is activated. Moving back to 290 cures the problem. The slight hiss is still there with 290, as usual, but the high pitch sound is gone. Going to 298 again reintroduces the issue, so the problem is definitely something with 298, on my phone at least.

Compare to M6, battery drain when idle drop significantly. And now I can play FLAC without any popping/clicking in sound with screen off max freq at 537Mhz, which is lower than I can achieve in M6:laugh:. For screen on I am using 192-1228 with 192 uv at 750mV. So far no problem in playing FLAC when screen on too;).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DigiK:
I compared r295 and r298 side-by-side on two GNexes tonight and any perceived improvement is placebo. The extra step in r298 might provide a smooother ramp up through lower frequencies, but it starts to make interactive feel like the conservative governor, introducing some micro-lag.

R295 with one less step is just snappier. It would be cool to test an r298 derivative that reverts to the previous 11 proc steps and see how it does.

All that aside, undervolting 192 to 725mV has really worked wonders in its own right.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fenvarien:
I did my own side-by-side test with the GNex of my wife running with r295 and my own with r298.

There is definitely a huge difference, measurable even for the untrained eye of my wife. R298 improved smoothness, responsivity and overall performance of the device.

Make sure to compare both with stock settings and to remove 'set on boot' @ governor control after flashing to r298, otherwise the new interactive gov. tuneables are not active.
