The last pages were somewhat different from the other 200 pages where people would actually read the OP and search for the questions first. This isn't directed to everyone directly, but let's just say that I give my ass off to give my best kernel every time, I can't answer every question like "release kernel with 350min", "how to do Y" etc.. Before asking please do some search, it's a bit annoying to read useful feedback, or useful suggestions because the thread is getting flooded with not so very much intelligent posts.

I usually answer 90% of the posts directed to me, but if people just start to ask out before attempting to search I'll start to answer a lot less because I can't do everything and sometimes it's annoying.

This is just an appeal to make this thread clean from questions that have been answered, that are in the OP or just basic stuff like "INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS PLOX".

A new version will get out in few hours with a few ironed kinks, until then enjoy and if you have USEFUL and DETAILED suggestions/feedback make sure to drop a post. =)

Possibly off topic, but not sure.

So something that I have been noticing of recently, I seem to be loosing my connection to the Google servers much more than I would expect. (The wireless or 4G/3G icon goes gray) Franco, I know you've been changing a few things with regards to the internet lately, would any of these changes possibly affect this?

This may also not be kernel related at all, as I also just recently upgraded my router to the Cisco e4200 v2. If it's not the kernel, does anyone know what I might look for in the router settings to remedy this? Does the GNex's wifi support 2.4 and 5ghz? 20 and 40hz band? I have everything set to auto on my router currently, so it should be switching to whatever the devices needs. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manager77:
l'm using #9 with conservative set to 350 000 at min. and everything it's great(intensive for 3 hours,l've lost 30%)....l don't know what was so wrong with my question...not my intention to be rude...btw...thanks for your great work!...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arrio:
Nightly 9.1 with AOSP kang rom build 13.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arrio:
I have also randomly lost both data and wifi every once a while. Both wifi and mobile connection bar just turns grey and disappears into a cross with no bars.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
Setcpu is showing me as being pegged at 1350 on this kernel. It never seems to drop below it with the screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nrgaway:
manager77, its just that your question has been asked and answered many many times (recently as well). Thats why search is important.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GchildT:
Was something done in regards to sound quality, or is my PowerAmp EQ Effing up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I don't have that, wifi and data always work fine. Check your baseband, it might be outdated.

Are you sure it doesn't drop from 1350 once screen is on? From my head I don't see why or how that could happen, but I will look for it.

Effing up like what? Care to explain a little more?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chikimonke:
On the CDMA GNex, I'm running the EK06 and EK04 Basebands, to the best of my knowledge that's the most recent. Like I said in my previous post (Not sure if you saw it Franco) I did just recently upgrade my router, but I'm not sure how that would have negatively affected my wireless performance. I went from an old 802.11g router to the brand spankin new Cisco e4200v2 802.11n router.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
I'm on CDMA, latest radios like you, 9.1 kernel, getting 20 mb/sec download on Time Warner. I think you have a router issue (or maybe rom), not a kernel issue. I'm on Winner00's CM9 Kang ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chikimonke:
It may very well be the router, I was just posting here in case it wasn't. I was also hoping someone might know something that I'm missing. I'm running AOKP 13 and Franco #9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gubshi:
Besides from this kernel just running great, why is (in "jellybro 4.1.1") unter phone information "Kernel-Version: Unavailable"?

And autoflashing nightly kernels with franco's app is hit and miss, it often stucks at 100%. anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Does GPU 512mhz actually improve UI performance at all? Just flashed, can't really see a difference and am wondering if its worth the battery hit if there is one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeandjaimie:
Scroll back a few replies I just answered this a page or two ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prembox:
I'm new to G-Nex and had patiently read the last 30 pages having bought Franco's Kernel Updater last nite. Yeah, from what I read... GPU 512 mhz gives only slightly if not negligible improvement the UI performance as JB has the 'Butter' preloaded in it. And from what Users reported here... therez only negligible if none no difference in battery consumption between 512 and 384 Mhz....try it on and report your findings!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barrist:
could be placebo, but it seems to for me, at least a little. i had 384 on for a while and noticed a very very very slight lag or stutter when beginning to slide through homescreens. tried 512 and it was gone. (at same cpu freq 384-1036)

again, could all be just a placebo or other factors. but i have no issues running it, and haven't had a chance to check battery life differences really yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
cheers all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
99% sure its CM's code culprit because that isnt the case on normal AOSP roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gubshi:
well, damn. but it's not that much of an issue, kernel's behaving normal :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
Yea same here. Jellybro running great with Franco but says unavailable. I also have serious auto flashing issues with it. Takes multiple tries and had a few SODs. Once booted up all seems well :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Don't auto flash then.... download the zip and flash yourself... lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
lol yes I could do that but I'm lazy and the auto flash doesnt mod the sd wich causes some issues in a few games. Again I could remove the file that does that from the manual flashing kernel but back to my first point :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah.. why do the zips still include the sdcard mod? What benefits are there to it when so many people end up going back to the original?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thuynh022:
What sd card mod? I've been flashing nothing but the zip's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
That's what I was thinking... what SD card mod..... always flash the zips. Nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
system-bin- sdcard. Thats the file in the flash type kernel. It was something for sd card reading if I recall to improve battery. I dont really remember the purpose. Anyway it has rarely given me any issues but an example is monters ate my condo it completely breaks audio. Again rare but there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decarre:
Hi franco i don't know if the question bas been posted, but do you think the GPU can handle more frequency ? I can handle 512 mhz at 0.625mv.

Do you think in future you add an other frequency ?

Thanks a lot for answer and for all your work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barrist:
anyone get the issue where their touchscreen just stops workign? i was riding home on the bike using endomondo to track it. when i got home, i could turn the screen on with the power button, but touchscreen wasn't working at all. had to pull the battery.

(franco 512 running 384mhz - 1036mhz, bugless beast rom 07/24)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
It can handle more, but not much more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Iv read many many many pages of this thread and not heard this one before

Sounds like a challenge ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decarre:
OK :) thanks :)

There are a limit degrees for the GPU ?

It throttle ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barrist:
Hopefully just a freak incident. i will keep an eye on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Trinity kernels offer GPU OC up to 537. I have been running it for a couple days, seems pretty smooth. Don't really know the difference it makes compared to 512.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.sonic:
Me, once, same situation, had to pull the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
How is the power consumption? I bet most of the users cant run that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
The difference in battery I bet is close to 0 but the speed between 512 and 537 isnt a great deal, still would be cool to see an 'experimental' implentenation for next nightly

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
I was running 537 and it didn't seem to have any tangible difference compared to 384 on Alpha31 from Morfic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
really, power consumption at 537 is about the same. you cant tell a difference unless you look at it through a microscope. ive been running 537gpu kernels for a few weeks now, even had a 5+ hour screen on time with one last tuesday(my day off, at 1036mhz). but youre right, id say 5% of users have issues at that gpu speed, mainly slight rendering issues, and i know one person who cant boot a 537gpu kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
What's wrong with download links?

Edit: nwm, they're up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPhilo:
Couldn't find no information in search, but I always wondered does the GPU run solid at 384Mhz or 512Mhz whatever you choose? Or does it scale back down like the Tegra and Mali GPU?

It be good if you could implement this in. Probably save a bit of juice right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
I know this is off topic and asked again but Franco do you have any plans on developing a kernel for the Nexus 7? I am not demanding anything, just asking politely. I will have my Nexus 7 next week and I would love to use your kernel there.

Cheers!!

No. Max speeds are separate. Every GPU scale down the freqs, but if X device cant handle 512mhz as soon it hits 512mhz its toast.

My Nexus 7 is with simms, he should send me the device tomorrow ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
when mr francisco franco meets my demands, i will release the hostage :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Whites are definitely better but the purple is still there. I think this screen just needs some serious calibration....wish that was possible lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
For purples increase the green more to balance it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shonen45:
I encountered this problem twice. The first time was when I could only wake up the phone using the power button, but not PGM Nexus (from Google Play). The second time was just after I ended a phone call. The touchscreen stopped working, but it could be turned on/off using the power button. Had to pull the battery to reboot.

Hope to get logcat the next time I face this problem, provided I am near a computer with ADB tools.

(bigxie's ROM JRO03C deodexed. And Franco kernel #223)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Looks fine. The green is a tiny bit too much but still hasn't gotten rid of the purple. I think this is just a bad panel tbh lol. I asked supercurio on twitter if he has any suggestions. I might just have to send it to Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juanzr1:
What's c.a.s.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Guys. For color settings, try this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790325

It has a Google Docs public spreadsheet for all of us to share, and a thread to discuss and keep it out of this one.

I had purple in the Settings gradient even at full brightness, give my settings a try from the spreadsheet. There are a ton more there to try too, including franco/trinity defaults. Add your own if you come up with something you like.

c.a.s = c.a.b. = content adaptive brightness. makes whites darker to conserve energy. also results in them looking "grainy" at lower brightnesses. most people recommend disabling CAB for this reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] butikofer08:
Just flashed 223 with jellybro toro and so far so good. Came from trinity where I'd get 1-3 random reboots a day with no overclocking, so far no reboots here and I'm running at 1420. Also seems to save my changes under setcpu/performance settings for over clocking. Trinity would save but revert back to 1200 after a random amount of time. Question: is it normal for my kernel info under settings to say Unavailable? Everything's smooth operationally...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EYEramid:
Can we use the powermodes with the jellybean kernel

r225:

* Merge 4.1.1 kernel sources

* A little config cleanup for a more lean kernel

* Ondemand governor by default instead of interactive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x986123:
Just wondering, why ondemand as default? Wasn't Interactive better for smoothness as I recall?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ringo.C:
I prefer interactive than ondemand too...:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JarGnex:
On demand n Wheatley give me great results . Thanks Fransisco I can finally post lol got your app n kernel since ages :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stick1300:
I'm still on 223 (about to try out 225), but is anyone else periodically losing your Google services connection? My bars will go grey for a few seconds (about 2-15 seconds), then go blue again. Sometimes it's when the device is sleeping, sometimes it's mid use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
awesome! flashing now! Thanks

change it in app then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eris72:
also curious why the switch to ondemand, namely because all i've been hearing about project butter is interactive is the governor to use, but obviously you have your reason Franco. would you mind sharing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sg1969:
does anyone else have to set screen off max freq. to 700, otherwise music in poweramp stutters?

Not a big deal and I can understand why this happens, but just wanna know if it's the same for others. Also, what's this set to on a stock kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Necrolust:
Interested in the default Max screen off freq too

225 on cm10 kang: simply amazing on interactive or on demand!

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marreboy:
Just flashed r225 (384) and it seems very stable and good. However OnDemand governor gives me micro lag in some apps like gallery while swiping through pictures. Easy enough to change back to interactive through the updater app.

Not dissing or anything just providing some feedback.

Any specific benefits for OnDemande vs interactive? Battery life? Stability?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] splus:
MUCH better battery life on ondemand compared to interactive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
Have a problem. Don't know it's kernel, or JB itself, or even bigxie's JB repack. Doesn't seems like it's a faulty apps.

Every time I download some video or music via DropSync (app that auto-sync folders with my dropbox) I have a video playback problems - any video player just freezes up when loading video, and lags the system. Pressing home helps to unfreeze the system - but player is hanging anyway.

Reboot fixes the problem and video plays ok, but rebooting each time I download some videos is not very convenient... Yes, just downloading it from the browser triggers the same problem, and it persists with ALL video files, not only the ones I've just DLed.

Had this problem on 223 and have it on 225 still. Maybe even more builds before than that, but I remember no such problems with SOME of franco's JB kernels before.

Trying to refresh media info does nothing with this problem, not from some apps, nor from settings - storage. Only reboot.

Any possible leads to check?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aquavalanche:
just got home and i see r225.. gonna check it now with Minco V1.. hopefully will give extra battery performance..

Will be back to give comments
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:

Maybe this is a nooby question. Whats difference between 512 mhz gpu and 384 mhz gpu?

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Jst clock to stock frequencies , governor, and io sheduler and u r done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tarun95:
I am getting low battery on Franco now :( switched to stock for some while :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
Stock freq already (approx 300-1200), no undervolt, was on wheatly governor - set to ondemand atm to check.

And what is io sheduler - I can't find that option in Franco's app... Think I didn't touch that anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeandjaimie:
One over clocks the gpu to 384Mhz (which is actually stock for the chip and down clocked by phone manufacturer) and one to 512Mhz (which can increase smoothness in the ui, especially when scrolling). Not all phones can run at 512 and either won't boot, or they get extra lag and artifacts onscreen. Neither really affects battery in an noticeable manner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 15israellai:
I flashed 225 some hours ago. Since then the phone is either really slow at connecting to Wifi or it totally fails to do so. Besides, the network and wifi signal symbols keep switching between blue and grey. Is this related to the kernel?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekMcLeod:
For a bit now my phone hasn't been charging all the way to 100. Anyone know what the issue could be? It charges to 96 every morning, I usually shut it off and it will charge the rest of the way but I shouldn't need to do that. It's only been on francos kernel that it happens. I tried Trinity but it was doing the max CPU reverting to 1200 for me, even though I use SuperSU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StormIceX:
same for me since i flashed r225

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Answering the question of "why Ondemand default?" - it's simple, I want to gather battery feedback on Ondemand vs Interactive. Settings it by default will force a lot of users to use it and I will be able to get the feedback that I want.

I also just realized this and having issues with gtalk ever since ...trying to stay connected

volume and battery

Hello all,

I´ve been reading these 23hundred something threads and nothing I do or follow works.

Yes, I have Minco ROM and franco´s kernel.

Sound volume was and is always a problem. Too low, can hardly hear darn thing ringing. Battery is also bad. Everything else is perfect. Well, maybe some screen freezing sometimes also.

I read here that after installing Minco and franco kernel people are awed with the increase in speaker volume. Well, I know I have no hearing problem but miss calls like crazy because I can´t hear the darn GNex ringing. Notification sounds are also so low that I only see them when I happen to see the notification light on...

Tried DSP, Awsome something, Volume+...

I only had excellent volume with a ROM from ICS, before 4.1.1 (Modaco?) can´t remember.

I´m mainly "venting" but had to let someone know. :)

A side question. How can I get a Nexus 7 in Portugal? Anyone know? EBay´s are too expensive. Amazon uk doesn´t seem to have them.

CB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
IIRC Franco removed that feature a while ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puzzlegirl:
Enjoy your sleep ;)

I think Franco changed it so that both cores are always on as they're designed to be and took away the option to turn one off.

My phone"s running great on 384 GPU 384 - 1305 MHz, dutifully using Ondemand. 60% battery left with 21/2 hours screen time (extended battery), but looking great so far.
