What's your screen on time so far?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
2 Hrs 30 mins - 1st cycle - 20% WiFi, 80% 2G (which sucks)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeandjaimie:
Omg loving this Minco v4 + Franco m5.. Sitting at 5h on battery, 50min screen on, wifi pm, on wifi.. 384/1.5 interactive.. Still at 76% battery this is gonna be a good combo!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pete7ate:
I think 156 acting much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
Wow that's doesn't sound right. I got 3.5hrs on the first cycle. Now 4.5hrs on the second cycle. Lot of heavy gaming and web browsing?

20-25% drain per hour (screen on) sounds about right.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kappa Lamda:
One day on Milestone 5, was on r241-512 before! Same rom only newer nightly. I use JellyBro CM10 Euroskank.

With Milestone5 I noticed a little bit battery drain even when screen is off. Wifi always open and 2G most of the time! I am thinking of getting back to r241.

A couple of questions though.

I use 384/1300 and interactive governor. I have to disable the three Smart reflexes options to work properly right? Do I have to change the voltages?

Also how can I use BLX? What setting do I have to put and what do I gain? Is it going to cause damage to my battery?

I use franco's app to control kernel features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisq:
kernel config file

I need to build a kernel module for existing kernel. Kernel version is 3.0.8-franco.Kernel-Milestone4. /proc/config.gz is not available.

Which kernel config file should I use?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] safendi:
The milestone 5 have 384 mhz gpu or 512?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marreboy:
384 MHz (Posted many times already) And according to Franco there will be no 512 version of milestone 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
flashed franco m5 yesterday…hving 2h1min on screen time with 46% left…not really tat good…maybe bcuz its the first cycle?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Flash Milestone 5, config.gz is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djjonastybe:
512MHz is too much anyway.

I have been using hotplug and noticed the Nexus runs about 13C cooler.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nnnnr14:

I got 99 problems but bamf ROMs ain't one! -nnnnr12
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
i pair franco with CNA...performance is just awesome...no reboots and everything is smooth...but battery life is a bit bad...gonna experiment it for a few more days :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supernova_00:
I wish I could ***** about 2 hrs screen on time with 50% battery left. I barely ever hit 2 hours total with no/minimal wakelocks, screen very dim, perfect 3g signal, pretty much default settings other than changing govenor to lazy (I barely get 1.5 hours with other govenors).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
I installed M5 within hours of release - I am using BB ROM. I saw increased battery drain immediately (over r241) and it has continued. It's especially easy for me to compare battery usage as my apps don't change, my usage patterns don't change and I look closely at drain during idle time, like when I am sleeping. M5 uses more battery, for me.

I am back on r421 as of this AM. Guess what, in the past couple of hours it's easy to see that my battery drain is already less than M5. No need to let it "settle" to see the diff. Over night, r241 used almost no power. With M5, I lost over 30% during idle. For me, that's reason enough to go back to r241.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I appreciate the feedback, but this is only what changed between r241 and Milestone 5:

https://github.com/franciscofranco/Tuna_JB_pre1/commit/307862f3ef5f41949c501e7176db3755190f84b1

I observed no such behavior and I tested M5 for over a week before releasing. I had minooch test it for that period along with other 2/3 testers testing MiNCO v4 with M5 and they also observed no such problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
not sure if it's a noob question but i noticed my Core Voltage is always at the higher step (whatever 307Mhz). the voltage never goes down even if the phone is mostly idle (except the screen on that I am looking at the kernel app)

Is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gparmar76:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tishfire:
Hi all, need some advise, I had a plenty of time in the morning for appointments and spend alot of time surfing net and a little music(traveling 30mins) only. battery drained quite fast, just want to know if this is normal? On 241 512gpu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Very normal. Many get less than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Really dude? Lol 2 hrs with 50% left? Worst screen time you will get is 3.5hrs and that's normal with stock battery. Now if you have extended 4hrs-5.5hrs is normal, I wouldn't be complaining if I were you. M5 is solid and basically the same as 241, anyone having battery issues should try doing a full wipe and trying a new ROM...I'm on minco v4 and m5 and battery is insane for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Francisco,

Thanks for sharing.

I will let r241 run a while longer to see if I continue to get the battery life I was getting the first time I installed it last week. As you know, this stuff can be subjective as there are so many variables that can affect battery life - it's hard to attribute 100% of it (either positive or negative) to a selected kernel. I'll probably end up trying M5 again given it's popularity, as well as the Lean Kernel accessible via your app - never tried that one. I will also take a look at MiNCO v4.

BTW: Is there any truth to the comments in this thread that kernels need to run for days to attain optimum performance? Is there code in the kernel that dynamically changes performance characteristics to address specific operating environments/conditions and usage patterns?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
i was previously on lean kernel and battery life was a bit better than this...but as i said, i hv to further experiment m5 for a few more days..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Anyone have any input on this? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
Me too, I'm not seeing any change after issue that command.

Question about Trinity colors

Okay, so I'm now running Milestone 5. I have a question, I've seen mention of M5 including Trinity colors by default. Does that mean I should change all my color multiplier settings back to zero for each in order to get the settings as defined by M5? What about gamma and Trinity contract settings? Is there a default I need to set for those as well? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Screen off battery life has improved significantly over the last few releases and so has screen on with on demand governor.

M5 + CNA 3.3 has yielded me the best performance and battery life of any JB- kernel combo so far.

Excellent job Francisco!

The relentless pursuit of the perfect rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mert2go:
Waiting for the next nightly :D Franco Kernel is just awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dai323:
Hmmm....I was running the newest aokp jb build and all was well...flashed milestone 5 and its great, but USB mount seems to be broken. PC can charge the phone, but I can't mount storage.

Confirmed on my friends GNexus as well. Aokp JB USB mount working fine up until milestone 5 is flashed. Now charge is only working with no way to access memory from PC.

Known issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Do you have fast charge enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoscoeDpG:
ya this has to be the prob i was super tired once and was going crazy forgetting this was enabled lol

I ll give that a try. Thanks guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
Seems like you will get atleast 3.5hrs for the first cycle. 2nd cycle will increase like mines did from 3.5 to 4.5hrs. Check my post earlier about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30541164&postcount=25402

Not normal. I'm getting 4.5hrs now after the 2nd cycle. Check my post earlier here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30541164&postcount=25402

My battery drains ~1% every 2 hrs. Hardly alarming. So your 30% while idle/sleeping claim is not normal. Must be a rogue app keeping your phone awake. Try some battery monitoring apps like Battery Monitor Widget, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
That's because they are not using their phone as much as some. I barely get two hours of on screen time. Some of it is due to poor signal where I travel. However, the stock 4.0 ROM gave me 45 minutes of on screen time. I have 3 email accounts (one exchange), 2 facebook accounts, 2 twitter accounts and a linkedin account all syncing. This plus Current, Google Reader, Google Now, Google Voice, Drive, tapatalk and a few social games (songpop).

I really use my phone and I am impressed with 10 hours between charges and 2 hours on screen time.

I've been out of the loop for a while but when the GNex was new, wasn't there problems with over-clocking past 1.4? Was this sorted out or were the earlier processors a binned version?

Anyone else having a problem where they can't adjust settings in the app? I changed it when I first flashed minco v4 to 1536-384 interactive and now when I set it to anything else it changes back to 1536-384 interactive. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Running M5 and my WLAN kernel wakelocks are really high again and it is draining my battery :(. The odd thing is it only seems to be at my work wifi not at home. But, running Trinity last week kept the wlan wake locks very minimal. Any tips you guys can give me? Franco do you use different wifi drivers than trinity that would cause this? Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Same problem, only I'm stuck on normal clocks. If I adjust the clock speed nothing happens at all. Shame.

Neps, we use the same wifi code (unless morfic changed anything last time I checked his repository - which was last week).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Thanks. Any idea what it could be? Why would it be just work WiFi and not home???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsn:
I had the same issues on my HTC Desire (before I got my gnex). ROM, radio and kernel versions didn't matter.

At home the battery lasted about 2 days, just on wifi, at 2 meters (~6ft) from a simple Sitecom-brand access-point.

At my work, I'm sitting about 8 meters (~25ft) from a Ruckus-brand AP, my battery was fully drained at the end of

the shift. Still not sure what it was. Maybe some enterprise wifi protocol thingy talking too much. There were

no disconnects at all and performance was at normal levels.

I do not observe the same behavior on my gnex (maybe a little, not really noticeable).

But.. Maybe the cause of it is more common than we think.

Someone with lots of inside-802.11b/g/n-knowledge may step up now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Haha yep sounds like the exact same thing I am experiencing! I wish I could figure it out. Tried giving it a static IP address but didn't help. Thank you for taking the time to help me out!

Hi Franco,

Was wondering if you could add a default name to backups such as

Franco-241-512-date-time.img

By default it saves with a blank name. Multiple saves overwrite. To see this information its very helpful and makes it way easier for the user. Your application currently displays this collected information as it is. Hope you consider this. :)

@godisanatheist you can see that neither is better or worse, it depends on your usage and which feels best for your day to day tasks. Try both out after your battery cycles a few times and see which one works better for you.

Use trickster mod it works well and its free and works across different kernels :D

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

For Franco's kernel you do not need turning off SR unless you are undervolting. You do not need to change the voltage unless u plan on undervolting.

As for BLX, I don't use that function so I can't answer.

for battwry life is better use smartreflex or set the value of voltage manually?

for example when i go in calibrated voltages in franco's app i have the clock speed of cpu and the current voltage. if i have 840mv with 384mhz and set this value manually and disable smartreflex i have better battery life?

IVA and CORE are still controlled by SmartReflex. I also still have fsync ON, by my logger is checked and turned off.

Those are my stable settings so far...I havn't went down any further yet...but will try later on potentially. So far, I'm happy though with my settings setup.

How can I find an only-in-one tutorial to know and understand each tweak of this kernel..?

I would like to

know and understand

the best settings to have the most battery life (most important) and to have the most performance (less important).. but it's so hard to find informations about each setting in this thread..

I don't want to make noob question but it's pretty hard to understand how each tweak works..

Again, Sorry for the question and for my english; just sayme where I can find the "guide" I'm looking for.

I hate to be that guy, but you just need to google it!

Seriously, everything you need to know can be found in two seconds. You are asking a lot of someone to go through and explain every setting to you. You need to do the ground work yourself and then if there are things you can't find ask those specific questions and someone will definitely answer them for you.

This might sound retarded, but I've played with these settings soo much that i have no clue what are the defaults :p can someone help? Is it interactive gov with 1000mhz and 700mhz?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GIKE:
Maybe it's only a coincidence, but every time I change the data connection (2g/3g) with the weathly governor, the phone loses connectivity.

With on demand and interactive doesn't happen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SUTHRNFRIED:
I run mine @ 384 max screen off. My standby time for battery drain is around 1% per 4 hours.

Based on settings your milage will vary. I also uv all freq.

No issues here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
I have mine at 384, it's the only change I made for the second battery charge cycle since flashing the kernel. The first clocked in at a little less than 3 hrs screen on time, now I'm at 3hrs with 43% battery left. Haven't followed the idle battery time but logically it must be better since all polling tasks during screen off are capped at a lower freq. This is with email on push, calendar and whatsapp on sync and Wi-Fi and/or 2G always on.

Is milestone 5 for ICS or JB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creeve4:
JB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Easiest way to get back to default Governor and CPU settings is to uncheck the "Change on boot" options for each and reboot. This will reset them.

We had a discussion on this a few dozen pages back and lower frequencies interfere with the race-to-idle, in effect keeping your phone awake longer when wakelocks do occur. Thus, contrary to "common sense", a lower frequency tends to give you worse battery life. The default of 729 is pretty much already in the sweet spot, I've found.

M5 is for JB only. r196 is the last build based on ICS and basically the final milestone for ICS, as r200-ICS wasn't really stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gm007:
