I got 6200 on 17.2 turtle 350/1200.. but I have been noticing that's the phone heats up rather quickly and lags sometimes while typing.

Benchmark

Wow!!! Ur phone so fast, no girl ever going to.say that so who cares, Franco Nos the issues damn!!! Glad I bought the app To check for updates .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Shut up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
I think this guy just summed up life pretty well.

If a girl isn't going to say she's impressed by it. Its pointless.

Apparently a girl might be impressed by how stable your phone is though. lmao.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atsavlis:
Franco, apparently over at the James Bond kernel they getting good standby battery life by turning off android debugging when the screen is turned off which reduces the OS wakelock. Do you know anything about this? Is it worth trying out on your kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Don't think that shutting down Logcat has any correlation with less OS wakeups during screen off, but you can try it.

Good news, you can now purchase my updater app through AndroidPit!! http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.franco.kernel/franco-Kernel-updater

This is specially to all the users that can't use a credit card and want to use Paypal. Since I got tons of requests for this I finally was able to do it.

Does enabling the hotplug mod via the command line require a reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No, but when you reboot it will be at the default values again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
GScript to the rescue! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Just so hard to see/ read actual issues with all the my phone better than urs crap .just My opinion . Few people on here have actual issues and there questions get missed or skipped cause of 15 pages of same non issue . Just my opinion I will shut up now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Franco's main goal is stability. He said he is spending all of today to basically re-do his kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maisi:
Can you tell me how much space you had left on your sd card? It only happens to me when I have under 1GB space left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
Not that benchmarks really matter but with aokp 23 Franco 13.1 700mhz- 1350mhz conservative I get 7000ish on antuntu and 137k browsermark on chrome.

Completely stable amazing battery y bother change?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
guys I wanted to ask you a question

which scaling governor is best for battery performance? I am asking because I bought the APP franco kernel app and it was set to 1ghz max and tutrle governor and I dont see anywhere describing which one does what :)

thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
That's already the best setup for battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiannocky:
BUG: 1.5G very unstable

On Modaco 4.0.4 GSM beta2

1350 MHz OK

1.5G very unstable, quite slowly, and only 3000+ on antutu test
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Unbelievable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viskas:
Sorry to bother you again, but I didn't see any answer.using 17.2 on aokp 23. The phone gets often very very Hot. Any advice?!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
How's the battery life going for you? You might have some rogue apps working in the background..... if your battery life seems low (less than a normal work day with low-medium use) rogue apps might be the issue..... I hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
What's very hot? Temp ? Mine runs between 90 and 100 after bout an hour being on it. Samsung said normal . Others have had problem with apps running wild, I had this issue in past on my gs2 and it was the music app . Maybe u get lucky and same for u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
NOT a bug. Its a known fact that most phones cant handle 1.5Ghz without DDC enabled.

Take the time to read the last 50 pages and you might learn a bit about the kernel.

Dont use 1.5Ghz. It increases the amount of thermal throttling resulting in an increase in slowdown due to the large drop in frequency to as low as 200Mhz in some instances.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
Does anyone still have a ZIP of 15.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clefster:
http://www.world-of-nexus.com/download-section/category/4-franco-kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
strange fact...after trying at least 20 times many kernels (all franco's and rd trinity's)all with 1500\1536 slot,i had no luck with that freq,when i hit 1500 step,my phone stuck and reboot.ALWAYS!after i change to 1,5...after 1 or 2 sec it reboots.

today,for challenge,i retry all the kernels....and magically my phone now can handle 1,5 slot freq. but also after doing a thing..i upped the voltages for 1.5 to 1425\1450...francisco,do you think it's to high?or dangerous?

now i have 17.1...don't know that works also 17.2 with this upped voltages...on 17 i can't try because 1350 And 1500 voltages aren't changeable with system tuner\yours app..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
Was a bit counter intuitive with me, I found UVing made it more stable on 17.1 with 1.5ghz. Maybe something to do with lower thermal transients on load?

But no matter what governor/voltage I get major stutters in performance with 17.2 @1.5ghz. Although these major slowdowns are minimize by fixing the clock speed to 1.5 so maybe its partially to do with ramping through different frequencies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
i agree..tried also 17.2 and trynity some minutes ago...17.2 with 1425 mv 1500 step not reboot...certainly also 17 but can't try (reboot because 1500 step's mv not adjustable).did many bench with 17.1\17.2\trinity-rd and scores are low...used antutu and quadrant new..a bit high with trynity for the 500 gpu on 3d tab...but all lower than my prevoius with 1350 mhz (now min max 1500,before min max 1350.only curiosity,i don't care too much benchmarks.now i can see how it goes on prox days....finally that i can handle 1500 mhz but only with overvolting the higher step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
My first kernel rebase is complete and I lend my Galaxy Nexus to my best friend so he can test the device for 24 hours in hope to get some real data and not biased testing that could come from myself. ETA on #18 later tonight.

I hope to push Color Multipliers on my app as well depending on my available time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antob125:
Thanks for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
I am amazed by my phone .. until yesterday, every 1500 step kernel I had tried restart my phone after 1 or 2 seconds.it never ever see this step working my cpu for more than 1 sec.but today I made a overvolt more stringent than before (before i change max to 1300\1325 mv the 1500 step,now instead until 1425\1450)and my phone finally handle that mhz.tried many bench,apps,call etc..and my phone seems good!some minutes ago,i set the 1500 mhz step with 1300 mv (less 125 mv than before)and magically it works well,no reboot!what the ****?!!10 days of testings with kernelz,and never have 1500 sets that phone reboot quickly!!!now,after tht my cpu stays on 1500 for an hour at 1425 mv (for the 1st time since i have gnex),on 1300 works well.

very happy for that,but i don't know how it's possible....:confused::(

curious to see what happen with my phone at 1500 from now with future release.

thanks for all the work francisco..wait for 18 and updates for the app.:)

keep up yours good work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Excitement is abound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
Sorry for bothering,but :

I have really high battery drain. Im using latest franco kernel with default setup, aokp milestone 3.. I have checked for wake locks, no kernel, only partial wakelock - haxsync 4 44.7.. And my batt drain is very very high.. Please help folx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
What exactly do you mean by "really high battery drain"? When did you switch to the latest franco kernel and what was your previous kernel? What was your flashing procedure? Many people are using 17.2 without issue, a little info about your setup would help to diagnose things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
Before this one i was using stock 4.0.2 rom with stock kernel.. Then i wiped everything and flashed aokp milestone 3, latest franco kernel and new baseband..

High drain im getting is 1 % per less than minute when using phone,and bit lighter when it is on standby.

Thanks mate in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] incomer:
I've with 17.2 a great battery live, 5 hours + with screen on time and 11 hours battery life

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
If you just flashed recently I would give it a while to even out. It should get better. What are your voltage settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
As i said i havent touch any cpu or voltage settings..

I flashed 10 hours ago :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
Understood, but, when I flashed from stock I initially had fairly high voltage settings. Once I set these to recomended values (and waited a day or so) I got great battery life from the stock franco settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
And, what are those recomended values :D ? Thanks :)

Any other advices / solutions :) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
Waiting for the build 18, this is my lucky number.

In my opinion, these builds #17, #17.1, #17.2 don't give me any significant change from the #16.2 in term of battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdk82:
If you post your voltages someone here can tell you if they are overly high (which was my case). Exact voltages will vary from chip to chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
these are my voltages, if you mean this :

:)

how to know which are the best voltages for me ? :)

EDIT : i have read that people get best performance + batt life with #17 build... Maybe i should flash that :)

p.s. Gimme the info on what voltages i should set :)

Thanks in advance folx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukasb9000:
Hi! I would also like to know what are good values for the voltage? Is it that different for different phones? Does it sepend on rom and/ or kernel or can I use the same values no matter what rom I'm using? Sry for asking for values I would do it myself, but I've really no idea of how many for I can reduce the values...I' had a Droid until now, there you had vsel it's kinda different =]

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Nobody's battery is the same, we have ranges from 5 hours to 3 days 1275, 1200,1150,1050,900 were the voltages that were set stock with build 15.2 . IF THEY DONT WORK FOR U go back to stock before " *****ing ": )

Btw there's 100000 pages that have the info ur looking for NEXT TIME search lil
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwood:
Ok, I still have boot loop issues with every kernel above 16.0., 16.0 runs great and with great battery life, 16.1 through the current 17.2 gives me boot loop after install.. Any ideas...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Full wipe or flash stock kernel img . Try agn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Maybe try using faux kernel wipe. I realize that you've been with Franco kernel for a while, however I don't think it would hurt?!

Wipe data+cache+dalvik, then faux kernel wipe (check faux123 thread for download), then reflash from then the ultimate FRANCO KERNEL:D Anyone else with other ideas???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
You should flash back to stock rom, root and flash franco's kernel to see if anything goes wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwood:
Flash stock rom and re root??? Not!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
With Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from mskip, it'll take you 5m with a few clicks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Ya don't do all that, probably even easier is just wipe cache and delvik cache in recovery reflash whatever Rom ur using, I figured u already tried that tho ..... if u did and it didnt work the factory kernel .img gets rid of all the " left over " crap . Just Google it or search xda
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwood:
Yea.. I will flash a stock kernal and then upgrade...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
yay! What time is it where franco is? haha just to get a better idea of the ETA, as i am in NZ

My First Bench with Christian Gollner's new app (Endorsed by Franco).

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cgollner.benchmark

There is a Free and a Pro version.

I'm currently using FK15.2 as it offers the best real-world performance for my setup and the benchmarks say the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
Since the issues raised by the #17 release of Franco Kernel I said that while Franco is working on a rebase I've tested other kernels too and I've found something. I don;t want to rant here (I am a Franco kernel fan) but still ...Franco .. you might take a peek in trinity's kernel sources ... I'm trying now his 384GPU/1350CPU "any" kernel (with 350-1200, conservative) and the results in terms of battery and performance are great (2% over 5 hours of overnight with my regular setup) and the phone is running cold when under utilization. I don't know details but there is something good in the code that makes these ticking.

Can't wait for a rebase kernel from Franco :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
have you tried leankernel its got really good battery too. But man does francos kernel give me awesome performance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EsPeHil:
Nice score! Considering I'm on 17.2 and 1500MHz(just for test, otherwise Turtle 700/1000), score 23.429...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
For comparison, with 14.2 I get -

CPU - 12958

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
Quick question: Are the voltages in Franco Kernel by default the GN's stock voltages? They seem awfully high to me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master84:
i also think that the stock voltages are very high

i use the following voltages

1200mhz:1200mV

1000mhz: 1100mV

700mhz: 1000mV

350mhz : 1025mv

but i use only the 1000mhz and the 700mhz slots. governor is franco turtle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bemymonkey:
So 1300mV+ really is stock? Holy balls :p

Testing <1100mV now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EsPeHil:
Indeed they are. Reduces some unwanted reboots...

EDIT:

I know benchmarks don't tell the 100% truth but.

AOKP #24 + *other popular kernel* @ 1200 = 13k points

AOKP #24 + Franco 17.2 @ 1200 = 16k points

AOKP #24 seems to be a bit slower. But it's packed with more stuff than previous #21 I was running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] insanemal:
I get random slowdowns on Franco kernels.

It benchmarks faster for sure.. But it hicccups in games. ESP GTA3 and GunBros.

Even Osmos and others (with only 2d graphics)

So I dunno what the deal is. the AOKP kernel is way smoother in game.

Just letting you know. I can run tests to help ID the issues if you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
Figured I'd run it too: 25,242

I'm on AOKP 22 with FF#17 @1.5ghz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timafey:
I am not sure what changed, but I can get close to 2x the screen ON time with 13.1 kernel as I could with 17.2, also my antut score is almost 1000 points higher. This is on stock kernel settings without any OC, UV etc... also the 13.1 feels much quicker for me as well (probably bc min is at 700mhz). Anyone else found similar results?

I right at 2 hours of screen on time, with the phone being unplugged for 23hours and 50min and my battery is at 46%. On 17.2 I would be lucky to get even close to 2 hours with my phone almost dying after about 14hours. The idle on 17.2 was just as good as 13.1 however, but screen on time would kill the batt quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
I have the same results/feeling with #13 vs #17

Waiting for #18. Never had so many reboots and freezes like with #17.1 / #17.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniac2403:
I don't have any reboots with AOKP #23. May be its' your ROM, or did you UV the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meilstone:
Using also #23 with full wipe. i set 1000 mhz as max freq. because 1,5 with draining too much and was instable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nightly 18 is out. Feedback needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ratson:
is 1.5Ghz back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Not yet, I had to make it stable first and I've been having a LOT of work: 4/5 devices to support, apps programming, writing articles about Android for pplware.com and having a life... :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ratson:
I know that feeling :) just asking pal ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
installs and boots fine, you had it set as 1350-200 as default lol? and also the color gamma was back to stock nexus so i had to redo the settings of -4, 0, 5 even though it was already set as that. other than that its all good :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes, I still need to tinker some default values that I either forgot, or haven't had the time yet ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
In settings > about phone, kernel version is 3.0.8 #10.

Colorcontrol (at least multiplier) doesn't work anymore ;)

Does GPS work for you?

It does for me, but it's unusable (only 4-5 satellites, lock after 2-3 Minutes with AGPS enabled!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poopooface:
I took the issues I have been having with performance lately as a cue that I should do a full wipe and go to 4.0.4, so now I am on Paul's MoDaCo Beta 2. I started with Franco 17.2 and it was very slow. I won't use benchmarks as my criteria, I'll just say that I couldn't type quickly in Evernote without the input trailing behind my typing severely. I couldn't slide between homescreens smoothly either.

If anything, I've noticed that the slowdowns in real world responsiveness are correlated more with slowing down and speeding up while running AnTuTu than the actual score at the end.

At any rate, I installed Trinity kernel at first and performance was downright decent. The evernote typing didn't trail for more than a tenth of a second or so no matter how fast I started typing. I put Franco 18 on there and it lagged considerably as soon as I started pressing keys.

I care much more about snappy performance than battery at this point because my battery is so huge. Is there some other governor that I could try to improve my performance with Franco, or should I just wait for the next release?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eiabea:
#18 feels really snappy :-) no lags, but with every release less usb devices work for me :-(

#15.2 keyboard, mouse, usb stick

#17.2 keyboard, mouse

#18 nothing :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
I'm on 18 and don't have any issues ur having my typing is smooth and perfect, scrolling works fine this feels faster than all the 16's and 17's so its ur phone not the kernel, if ur just going to install kernel after kernel over top each other, from different dev, why would u think its a kernel issue and not ur phone?? I tried trinity without the tweeks and its no were near as snappy strait out the box. At least wipe ur kernel before u can actually give any use full information.Just my option cause my phone flying: )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treperio:
kernel 18 haven't francoturtle cpu ? what is the most similar to francoturtle?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poopooface:
Well, even though we are both on 18, we could have other points of dissimilarity. My test evernote file is a really honkin' big text file, I need to have a ton of text already in the file to get delays.

Regardless, I'm willing to try what you suggest. How do I wipe the kernel without wiping the whole phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] insanemal:
He doesn't know what he is talking about. You can't "wipe the kernel".

You can wipe everything or replace the kernel.. you can't wipe just the kernel.

Franco.kernels have been giving me hell also. They cause patchy performance in games.. like 100fps then 2 then 100. I've stopped using them.

EDIT: I've also noticed since going back to the AOKP kernel that other things related to battery usage are better. I don't have random "Android System" eating my battery (this is with nothing installed so don't give me that old "it's something you've installed chestnut")

That sounds awesome, I've never seen a flashable zip of the stock kernel. But I can say that when I did a full gut wipe of the phone and put MoDaCo on there with whatever kernel it comes with, that was "F*CKING fast".

Could anyone be so kind as to link to the flashable zip of the stock kernel, or tell me what kernel MoDaCo comes with so I can flash that one and try from there?
