Today I found a very strange behaviour. It's the first time I do a long call since milestone 6 and looks like the communication hangs after about 2-2.5 minutes. I tried both to reflash and with two other kernels (cm10 stock and trinity a67), and the issue only appear with Franco's.

Is there something I can do to find where the problem is, if kernel or rom fault?

By the way, I'm on the latest ParanoidAndroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dracon6ai:
Hotplug was removed, it caused more issues than benefits and Franco didn't feel like dealing with something that unstable in his kernel. You can create custom power modes via the app that only uses one core if you want but that's all. If you want a hotplug governor, Imosey's lean kernel is easily flashable though Franco's app and he still supports hotplug + hotplugx.

Franco gazelle and turtle were removed, in favor of the Performance and Lazy governor respectively I believe. Plus with Wheatly and Dyinteractive added we have all the governor options we will ever need IMHO.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before one gets tired!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willl03:
It's damn good, I bet people who bash it never tried it.

But running M6 I had few launcher redraws, I bet the new kernel memory management has priority over some part of v6 supercharger and it's not as good. I've been supercharged forever and NEVER seen a launcher redraw before m6

I'll try running M6 w/o supercharger see how it behaves

Update: more micro lag without the supercharger, putting it back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FTMDan:
Never used to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
Franco is tired of us talking about it. This will be my last reply on the matter. Samsung themselves say it's in the battery. Many expert people say it's in the battery. Is there something else also in the phone logic board? Probably. But there's also some kind of NFC-related chip in the battery.

Franco is tired of us talking about it, so I'm not going to reply any further. I've supplied enough proof for you to accept the truth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psychedelic'd:
Been using m6 for a few days now and noticed that your lowmemorykiller settings are way too aggressive. Had a few launcher redraws, and just now my phone froze for a few minutes while I was watching a youtube video on the stock browser.

If you could tweak the settings a little, or release a version without these settings, that would be appreciated.

Also, I recently bought Franco's app from the store, and noticed that you can download LeanKernel with it. Does that mean all the settings in the app (color control, power modes, etc.) are supported on that kernel as well?

Thanks for your hard work Franco. Keep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cobra78:
Understood, so ther wiki page aboute the franco kernel i've found is outdated.

Iv'e used leankernel, but iv'e had instability problem, and after your words and some reading i think, and hope, they are hotplug related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
That wiki is outdated. All the info you need is in this thread, a simple search does magic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
you can always change it manually. its in /root/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

Now this is what I'm talking about!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
I just tried the Imo kernal and I am back after ten minutes. It just didnt seem as fast, and I lost 2% of battery in 2 minutes. I am sure I just didnt let it sit long enough, but Francos is so stable for me and great battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DivinityCycle:
For screen-related issues, you can read about stuff here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394358

Please correct anything I say that's wrong here, but here's what I took away:

The Galaxy Nexus has an AMOLED screen with a TFT layer behind it.

If you had literally zero electricity going through it, it would make the screen more laggy because it would have to turn on and initialize before redrawing. To allow the screen's refresh rates to be stable, the TFT layer is always drawing a little current whenever the screen is "on", which results in that slight glowing effect.

In other words, this screen displaying "black" is not the same thing as this screen being "off".

Also covered in the same thread: Lots of people had issues with the color mixing on the screen not looking very good. Franco's kernel includes tweaks to help make this look better.

I hope that I'm right about this stuff, and if I'm not, somebody please correct me. I was wondering about this issue for days :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deezid:
THX, that explains many things. My Galaxy Nexus is only a bit better than my 1 year old Panasonic GW20 Plasma TV in terms of blackness. My Galaxy S was much better in this respect...

I hope there's room for further developement.

Dark greys are still magenta, middle greys are green and whites are yellow... :D

Many thx for your kernel, Franco. Nightly #11 feels very fast on my phone. Battery Life seems to be great, too! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esoomenona:
Opposed to you, my whites are whites, greys are grey, and blacks are black. I love the colors of my display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deezid:
Here are some pictures of my galaxy nexus. Both taken with a white balance of 6500K.

The first one with lowest brightness (you can clearly see the magenta hue).

The second one is taken with maximum brightness (green/yellowish tinted...).

I've never seen any galaxy nexus which didn't have the same issue... lol :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
Oh man, this isn't going to turn into one of those AVS Forums screen color/temperature debate threads, is it? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
my initial impressions are the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yohinomura:
Same impression as well.

Also battery temp seems cooler in build 11 than build 10.

And tcp/IP speed seems slower in build 11 compared to 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonnyrs:
Franco, can we rename the zip file to something else, like "10, 11, 12.." or whatever else, to cut the confusion?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus like a Boss
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Hmm I know that in usage it is better, the ext4 patches helped to reduce the CPU usage. But I'm getting the same drain during sleep, I got 2% in 8 hours last night.

The tcp/ip might be a little slower, but it's stable for everyone. Previously with the ramdisk tweaks lots of people were either having awesome speed, or a lot of drops. I want stability, not peaks.

Of course you can. I just did it like that to help me with some app code.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradm23:
+1 I always add the # in there manually
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
thanks for the quick response Franco... I'll report back once I get some more usage with this kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ciscostud:
Thanks Franco!

Just got your app. Please read my review in the market. Look for "CiscoStud"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
This one, 11, feels very good to me. Subjective, not data based, but things just feel very smooth, and the unlock stutters are gone. :) Thanks, Franco, very nice work.

First post:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandman:
Since I turned off widget locker #11 is running super smooth for me. Bought updater from the market & being able to adjust the settings through there is nice, it's way easier just checking to enable hotplug than entering the command every reboot. Still takes a second or two from pressing power for the screen to turn on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
There's no chance in hell that when cpu1 is suspended that is screen turns on faster, that's fairly obvious ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoicesX:
fixed with clear cache of browser in setting->app->browser.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
Franco... can you expand on your thoughts and hot plug? do you use it yourself?

and pardon my ignorance... all I need to do is check the box in your app with no subsequent reboot? and this needs to be done after each reboot?

Franco I'll try flashing an old nightly and see if the 384mhz problem is there. It is used in m6 when I set that as the lowest frequency.

Milestone 6 .zip file was download roughly 8k times for the last 4 days. Direct auto-flash from the app I can't say exactly, but I'd estimate something along 10k. Awesome, no words are needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

What is in the pipeline? I've seen some interesting features from 'newer' versions of the Linux kernel eg 3.6 that sound interesting... Is it possible to get anything of interest back ported?

I've no idea what is of use to this phone.. But.. Worth asking!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well it's just that awesome :)

Just wanted to say that in the milestone 6 I can get full WiFi bars in my room which is a first. Usually I get 2.

Edit: well its back at 2 bars! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I'm not a big fan of backpors and I definitely think we wouldn't need any of that kernel announced "big" features, but its surely worth a look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoscoeDpG:
and word is getting around more i have actually ran into people at my work that see my phone and i have met 2 people that have franco kernels haha i know its only 2 but what are the chances of meeting just random person with it.......

Oh and franco M7 will have 12k downloads and over 15 on app :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a5pe4:
Man I can't figure out why my Wi-Fi is cutting off and on randomly when the screen is off on this kernel. I don't think I have the same problem on cm10 stock kernel. Look at how when the screen is off it's just alternating ugh.

Edit: never put keep Wi-Fi on during sleep after I reflashed this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
Open whatever super user app your using and make sure root explorer has root access
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Glad you said that, mine was doing the same thing, after I reflashed a new rom it was selected to turn off for some reason.

Hey mates, does anyone have the stock JB kernel so I can flash it via CWM? Thanks a lot.

I don't know why you would want but try googling, kinda irrelevant to ask here anyway

Anyway.. New record :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow-Nexus:
Nice!

What are your settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] despard:
Do u use Wi-Fi all the time or 3G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenzip:
Hi guys, I use this kernel practically forever! I find it fantastic but I almost never had a battery life comparable to that of many who post in this thread.

I changed two galaxy nexus and try many ROM and I do not think the problem is related to the device or battery.

Now I've:

Codename 3.6.6 clean installed

franco Kernel Milestone 6:

max 1305
min 729

interactive
hispeed_selay: 40000
boost: 0
hispeed_load: 50
hispeed_freq: 1228
min_sample_time: 40000
timer_rate: 20000
booster: 1036

max screenoff 729

sync off
logger off
wifi_pm off
battery life extender 99

smartreflex on

brightness always around 60% [sometimes 100 (in my office), sometimes 0 (at night)]

wifi always on: my office, my home
3g always on when I'm out of place
BT off
GPS off, use only around 1 times a week for navigation
data sync always on

normal use, a lot of, gallery, browsing, email, Facebook (notification off), what's up, google reader (manually sync), beautiful widget for weather (update every 8 hours), SugarSync app sync every 8hrs(only wifi) (3-5 MB in a day), no game …

So for me are good setting, and I'm expect battery life around 22h, and almost 2,30 screen on time.

But never reach this result…

I also calibrated the battery but not solved.

Now I've around 12h of batterylife and 1,30 screen on time..

What do you think about? give me some advice ...

or if you think there is a problem how can I find it?

Thanks a lot and sorry for long post :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] despard:
3G always on, how about that?:D

Bumped a lil bit to 1.4GHz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eRajesh:
Hi Franco,

There is a bug in your kernel. If I connect the Nexus to a music system via an AUX cable, and after playing some music, remove the cable and receive a call, the earphone volume would be very low. A restart fixes the issue though.

Please look into the matter. Do you think a logcat would help here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kappa Lamda:
Change the rom! :p

With CNA I couldn't get more than 2 hours screen time for 18-22 hours unplugged.

Now with baked blackbean-5 I get 3-3,5 hours!

With rasbean I was getting 4-5 hours....

3g is what i use mostly even inside my house... wifi only if im watchin a long stream of videos...

Im undervolted

I run interactive governor.

230 min to 1036/1228 max depending on mood

Voltages are:

230 at 775 mv

384 at 850 mv

729 at 950 mv

1036 at 1050 mv

1228 at 1150 mv

I dont touch any settings via franco app.

I leave brightness settings to auto...

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 AM ----------

You have definitely botched something up.

A sound piece of advice that i have heard here on this thread is that if something goes wrong u shud flash the kernel with full wipe, and of course u shud nandroid before doing so.

Im running m6 and not a single issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] venividivici87:
i think so... i have continous reboot. damn it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tarun95:
Hey Franco. As I said I would flash an older nightly and check if I have a problem with the frequencies. I flashed r276 and all 5 frequencies were getting used. Whereas in m6 4 of them get used. Like if I set minimum as 230 then 384 is not used. But on 276 it doesn't happen. Anyways m6 is running great and giving great battery life. :) just this problem. Not a deal breaker though since everything else works fine :)

Edit: after changing to other governors all frequencies work. Its only with interactive and m6. :(

Edit 2: one more thing I noticed. If I increase the hi speed load to 60 or 70 then 384mhz gets used :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
Decided to switch to full inverted apps+ theme. Really made a difference
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Where is that theme?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Just pushed r290:

* Merged 3.0.45 and 3.0.46 - one of the patches fixes a severe bug when cpu1 goes offline/online and it makes the device come out of idle faster than before

* Merged a couple of custom fixes to interactive governor

* Add a small patch to allow users to check which clock is GPU running at that second:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_clock

The value will be mostly 153Mhz during normal usage, but will increase to higher clocks when the device needs it. Next app update will feature a live monitor of this

By the way, 4M views... ****...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lippol94:
Milestone 6 has run on my phone for the whole time since you pushed it out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Franco, these are the features I thought may be of use when I asked you about future developments last night:

http://www.ashwinraon.com/2012/10/new-version-of-the-linux-kernel-3-6-released/

They certainly SOUND good to the layman, but whether in practice they can work for Maguro/Android I don't know

Specifically "TCP Fast Open" and "Better memory management" sections
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Dang you, Franco. I thought for sure M6 was was gonna be able to stop me from flashing stuff--even for a short while. Nope. Gotta keep flashin'. :cowboy:

I've asked a few times about these and a few more changes (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32423370&postcount=28743) but I think Franco overlooked the post. I'm not really sure why he considers it backporting though...can we not run a kernel built from 3.6 or is it too much work to apply all of Franco's changes to it?

TCP Fast Open, TCP small queues, the various core changes, the better memory management, and some other changes sound like they'd really help. Here's a link with all the changes, good read with lots of promising changes! http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cap'nC:
Franco, just to let you know it, r290 fixed the issue I reported in the post down here. Don't know what happened, but now all is going really well. Thank you for your hard work :)

Just flashed r290 really smooth but is anyone else getting weak WiFi signal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Controvrsy046:
Hey if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it! On the stock CM10 Kernel color settings it has DSS gamma settings and the stock CM setting is "8" I was wondering what OMAP4 Gamma Interface settings would be equal to that stock CM setting? Is it a combination of the Contrast Interface and OMAP4 or just a higher OMAP4 setting like 1.8 or something? Any input would be greatly appreciated! I love those CM gamma settings on my screen but I can't go without that Franco smoothness!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L-ViZ:
i´m afraid of flashing new nightly :D everything seems to be perfect, or is the new kernel (care, the following is a kinda neologism :D) perfectlier than m6? :D

Thank you Franco, much appreciated. Set the contrast to zero and omap4 to 1.8. Great color combo plus r290 is running great.

Yep I did and Franco missed it so why not post again? There are loads of posts here talking about all sorts.

Thanks Franco. As I said I'm very much the layman here but maybe it was of use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ourakot:
thank you for your answer franco.I wish i could though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Is CM on the 5-10 scale? If so then 8 would be 1.6, no?

It just doesn't work like that. Franco puts his changes into the Android kernel sources. Just because 3.6 is stable in desktop land doesn't mean it's been ported over to Android yet and it would be ludicrous to suggest Franco do so. Last I recall Franco mentioning it Android was only up to 3.4 and that stuff was like pre-alpha. So while Android may be linux based it's not exactly cut and paste here fellas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] --__LoRiS__--:
Since i flashed r290 my sounds at pressure was missing... how can i fix that? Thanks :)

EDIT: Wiped cache resolved this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
But hey, at least Android had cut and paste from the beginning and didn't wait until like version freakin' four to "add a new feature." Just sayin'... :p

(Yes, I know that's not what you were talking about, but still)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
You have touch sounds enabled? That's one of the biggest causes of wakelocks. I wonder how many of those others in here with bad battery life have that one enabled still. ;)

Haha, yes.. not at all :p Let me see if I can segue back into it... Franco's been great about cherrypicking some good new stuff from 3.4 Android kernel, but demanding that he rifle through 3.6 desktop linux kernel in hopes there'll be something applicable to Android in there is a bit much.:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
lol. No, I totally knew what you were talking about, but for some reason your 'cut and paste' comment made m chuckle when I thought about Android vs Apple "features." Sorry, totally off topic and random. Yes, I completely agree. Franco has already looked through it (and then half a dozen more people asked him about it) and decided there's not much there for our benefit. And if Franco says no, that means no. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Surely no one has that enabled?!? Its the phone equivalent of cars that beep too much, seat belt not being worn is fair enough, but beeping because the door is open is going too far! I know the doors open, that's how I got in the damn thing!
