ok so im trying to hunt down and minimize wake locks and of course the biggest one for me is our friend AudioOut_2 wakelock ive gone ahead and disabled all touch sounds, sound on screen lock dial tones etc. my main problem is that i have a tendency to text alot through out the day which im means i have alot of notification sounds going off all day long. My question is what would yall recommend, i obviously cant turn off notification sounds in their entirety and im sure simply lowering the volume wont have any effect on reducing wakelock frequency. Thank you for any advice in advance and my apologies if this is OT and should be its own separate thread

- Cheers

Hi everyone, I interviewed Franco for Gearburn recently, the post is up and live, go have a look.

@Franco,

I may have asked before, if so sorry about that. I know another ROM patches with PaX/Grsecurity - any plans to do so?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gaku86:
Guys i have a little question to ask, what do you think is the best ROM to use with franco's amazing kernel I've been using CNA but im not really satisfied, i was thinking about changing to Paranoid or just root stock, what do you guys recommend me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teriemer:
r290/384gpu is so smooth on Minco v4 rom - really really sweet :good::good:

PS - stock setting - i.e. no changes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
I think Franco would recommend minco room side is the only ROM that he works with and it comes baked with Franco kernel, but personally I use paranoid android because of the customization abilities
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IgnorantNerd:
Dark Paranoid is what I keep coming back to. It has a ton of customizations and it runs beautifully with Franco's kernel. If you want more of a stock feel try Rasbeanjelly or Minco

hi all guys, I'd like to know if the nightlies of this kernel are compatible with cm10 (Android 4.1.2). Moreover I'd like to know if the nightlies still have this "issue" http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27515966&postcount=20011
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nighthound:
CPU1 offline intermittently

Hi guys, I've facing a rather frustrating issue. I'm currently using CM10 (10/15 nightly) and Franco r290 (384 GPU), using 729-1228 interactive, stock voltages.

From time to time, I would notice that CPU1 is offline, and I can't seem to get it online again. Even when I run a benchmark app, which should be putting full load and waking up the other CPU, it still remains offline.

Both CPUs are working when the device initially starts up. It's only after an extended period of usage that the problem will crop up. Because of this, I haven't been able to isolate the specific set of circumstances that causes CPU1 to stay offline.

Does anyone have any experience with this problem or something similar?

Running Milestone 6 with Rasbean Jelly and just noticed a problem (with what, I don't know), I turned on Bluetooth to stream a podcast to a set of DBEST speakers, and every 30 seconds or so, the WiFi radio cuts out for about a second, phone signal turns gray, and then the WiFi radio pops back up and everything turns blue. This happens continuously every 30 seconds or so. Anyone seen this before?

Tried r290 as well, same problem.

Is there any reason to set the screen off frequency to anything other than the lowest possible setting? Running 290 and the quality is great as per usual.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
If you set it to low processes running in background will take longer to complete and your phone would be awake for a longer time resulting in wake locks. Whereas if it's normal, 729 it'll compete faster and go in to deep sleep
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polaris441:
Is it proper if I just drag boot.img file from kernel zip into rom zip (e.g. rasbeanjelly). The problem that I see is "init.d" folder is not created in /system/etc/.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm having trouble to start "Rayman" game if I flash rom & kernel separately. It just stop at game logo screen. I know this is not kernel related issue.

I already tried the boot.img file into rom like I said above. It can start "Rayman" now. But I'm afraid the kernel would not run as it suppose to be as init.d folder is not created.

Can anyone clarify?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
The general premise behind this is correct, and Ezekeel's testing was pretty thorough. However, actual, real-world usage strays far from scientific testing and the benefits/downsides are far more complex. How much of a battery gain does this really entail? That would depend on the number of wakelocks, right? And that depends entirely on how you use your phone, as well. In addition, what about the users who stream music/podcasts/etc. often? The audio out service invokes a continuous wakelock, so wouldn't lowering the screen off CPU be more beneficial in that case? In essence, what you should the lowest value to depends entirely on how YOU use your phone. If you are the type of person who has a lot of background syncing, checking multiple emails, has a lot of IM clients running, RSS feeds, etc, then keeping the screen off frequency at a higher value might be beneficial. If you are the type of person who streams a lot of music or other audio throughout the day, then keeping the screen off frequency at a lower value might be beneficial. If you are just a normal user who uses his phone somewhere in between the two use cases, then it's fairly difficult to say what you should leave it at, but Google's decided 7XX is a good point and I say go with that if you aren't sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crwolv:
You can make your own!! Franco paid app is amazing and even works for all other kernels as long as they have the xtra settings built into them. I'm using eclipse ROM while waiting for CNA to drop 4.1.2 it's already an inverted type ROM with everything dark and it is even better looking making it darker with Francos app simply freakin amazing

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

I got much better battery life using the latest nightly with the weaker GPU. But remember every single phone is different big time. 1 of the first things I learned from Franco is the littlest things can make the biggest results. Great Dev and a great guy .always answers and emails

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

I don't know why Samsung and Google used in old processor and old technology G P U. The GPU is even set lower by default to save on power drain from the massively awesome screen(308 MHz) getting really technical overclocking the GPU to over 500mhz gets a tad over 30 percent more power but drains the battery inherently bad. Luckily we have someone like Franco that can make the best out of the screw ups Google decided to do with the Nexus. With pentile technology that has true whites and true blacks the Galaxy Nexus truly is 1 of the best screens on the planet even better than the Samsung Galaxy s3 DPI wise. And like my old photon I prefer the true colors over any possible pixelation that only an Eagle might see on the Nexus. Although I didn't like the pixelation the photon the brightness was crazy good along with the whites and blacks but with this phone being high def I don't se em and I have extraordinary vision. Of course besides the specs I told you the rest of that is just an opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joaquinf:
Hi Francisco!

I have to say that after some testing time with the latest nightly (both gpu variants) I find m6 much more responsive and faster than the nightlies. Battwise they are about the same, maybe I got better battery life with the nightly, but performance wise the difference is noticeable. Am I the only one?

M6 is the best kernel I've ever had :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Try flashing the file in post 1 that's called original SD binary or something. This tends to fix games which don't work after flashing this kernel. Also instead of swapping boot.IMG around its probably easier for you to first flash your ROM, then kernel, then SD fix and you should be fine.

bug report:

my Nex would auto reboot if it is allowed to have its screen turned off due to timeout.

It would reboot to the Google logo screen, boot animation, desktop, and then reboot if I leave it unattended

I thought it was PGM issue, as other members have suggested. So I uninstalled PGM and to my surprise, the problem is still there.

here's the last_kmsg, hope it helps (I'm not sure if it is a hardware or software issue...)

It might be a random hardware fault. I cant really say as I never seen kernel watchdog triggers in any device besides the GN.

Strange then... maybe it is just a single random event.

I wonder if this is something that could be implemented in Franco kernels?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1930050

It would make extended storage more viable. I could keep large files like ps1 games on usb stick, save storage on my device, & plug in stick when I want to play, but not have to drain my battery & limit playing time to when battery dies. One possible situation.

I bought this cable which would make it possible if implemented:

So I very rarely get Sleep of Deaths, but with r290, I've had four of them in the past few days. I just ignored them at first (takes 30 seconds to get back on), but now it's starting to get more and more. No last_kmsg because of the battery pulls. But it happened on CNA 3.6.5 and Rasbean 1016 (Rasbean was a totally clean, fresh install this morning). Not something I'm uber concerned about, just something I thought I should bring up. (fyi, SODs happen when you are using the phone, you hit the power button to lock it, but it won't wake up afterwards. Gotta pull the batt and reboot)

But more importantly: Franco, enjoy the BBQ!!! :D I'm pretty tempted to try and make it next year, but we'll see how life goes. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
No issues with SODs here.. could it be your "lightning tweaks" ? ;)

Also, ****! Free barbecue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renaud:
I suppose you know it, but the watchdog can be disabled in the kernel. The question is, what triggered it? Some hardware not responding fast enough or a real lockup or some ROM settings? Hard to say without removing the watchdog to test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
Must be Paul's ROM then bud cause I have been using this kernel for weeks and I never have any reboots! Funny how you proclaim its the kernel lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Well the first few on CNA could have been with tweaks, but the last one (this morning) was on a fresh install (ROM and kernel), and I hadn't set up the Lightning yet. But I'll watch for it. :)

And yeah! Except not free, but it's barbecue! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
Absolutely no sleep of deaths here for weeks. I don't remember ever having any on my GNex, just my nexus s and milestone. I do have a power button issue it doesn't work most of the time so I use slide to wake and volume wake instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I'm not going to the BBQ after all. Long story short: I was hired by a company in California few months ago and we've been working on my visa for the past months. I was counting to be in the USA long before the BBQ but we had some problems with the agency and I'm stuck in Portugal for the next 3 weeks until the visa gets approved, so I decided to stay here and start looking at my new company projects before I go there. I'm very sad about not making to the BBQ, but I'll go next year for sure!!

Google Now - Lag

Hello, I have searched the thread and now really found what I'm looking for.

1st off: CM10 + R290 @ 384GPU (have also tested with 512) and some short testing with Lean Kernel.

Is there any way to make Google Now / Search load faster. It always seems to take 5 - 7 seconds which feels really slow. The only way it is fast is if it was literally the last thing i've run. I also get occasional really quick redraws of my Weather Bug widget (only widget I have)

I'm unsure if this is just a "live with it" thing, or related to the min mem free some people have been posting about.

Thanks for any help or recommendations. Love the kernel and all the hard work. :good:

(If anyone has anything against CM10 I am open to other recommendations as long as it has status bar power controls (wifi, bluetooth, etc.)

You could always enable input boost and micro lag will go away.

input boost is always enabled.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savant:
Lol, maybe if the stopped it. Or they can change the sysctl settings themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Zero microlag here. The kernel is near perfect. lol And osm0sis is right, Franco has input_boost enabled deep with the belly of the beast (PowerHAL). But you could turn up the input_boost_freq and see if that helps. I have mine set at 729, but you could try 1036 and see if that makes a difference for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sruel3216:
Oh yeah its enabled. That is what has helped so much. But after waking my phone from a deep sleep, occasionally, I will get lag. Not a big deal at all as m6+ has really helped it. Might be a memory management issue causing it to occur
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savant:
You could try changing the min free values and see if it helps.
