Franco's the shiz!

Here is what I did to greatly improve my battery, especially at idle. I do have not have many apps on my phone to begin with, however I was getting very frustrated in why my idle battery seemed like it should be better.So I started deleting apps one by one, however something still wasn't right.

Then I though, what about Gapps? We load this on our phone with every rom and forget about it even being there. I personally don't use many of the gapps, so I decided to disable them one by one (Settings-> Apps-> All-> click the Gapp and click disable). This will disable the app almost like uninstalling it but keep it on your phone in case you want to enable it again. So one by one I disabled GTalk, GMail, GWallet, and G+. I know many of you use these and that is ok, that is what they are there for, however if you do not, I highly recommend disabling them. Along with these, I uninstalled Facebook also (mobile face book webpage is almost identical to the ****ty android app anyways).

Since then, I have been experiencing the less than 1% an hour idle drain that I have been shooting for. I also noticed less partial wakelocks in better battery stats. I am running AOKP 21 and Franco 14.4 for anyone who is interested. I run the kernel "stock", and use franco's app to turn on hotplug. Hopefully this helps users obtain the best battery life possible. The strange thing is that i always manually sync, I have all of my sync turned off, and even then these apps were calling for bandwith and waking my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thats what I've done, disable all the **** that I don't need = 0-1% lost in 8 hours idling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmesisca:
franco

Im sorry I dont understand. with your kernel prior to 14.x the app list was listing the apps with a number of bytes associated with them. this is obviously not happening anymore. having a list with all apps at 0Bytes is obviously not normal. unless every other kernel except yours ****s up.

so.. was it broken before or is it broken now?

thanks for clarifying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
Then what's the meaning of having this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
You disable/delete the ones you don't want.

If you use the apps, then keep them. But if you don't, delete them, as it's a good way to save battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradm23:
Seriously? Did you even read what I wrote? " I know many of you use these and that is ok, that is what they are there for, however if you do not, I highly recommend disabling them"

I use this phone for everything I need and even more, however I personally do not use the apps I listed above and figure it would be good advice to share with the community, especially there are so many question revolving around battery and wake locks.... If you use these programs, you should of probably just ignored my posting and not made a comment, and if you do not use some of these, you prob should of taken my advice and disabled them.

I know I am not that far out of line if Franco (you know, the developer's whose thread this is) agrees with the technique I mentioned.... End of rant

So almost exactly half way there. Hoping donations keep going in for you. Excited to see the work you do when you own the device, when you don't own the device and do this good!

Francisco, the kernel should work on build compiled from aosp/master no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
I'm dying to see this question answered finally. It's been brought up quite a few times in the thread but I saw no replies.

How do you get the USB Host to work on this thing. No mouse or any usb thing will work (I'm using the $25 Samsung OTG cable)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
This version seems slower than yesterdays. I'm noticing a slight lag at 1.2 that wasn't there in the last kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes, it should :)

I can't answer you that for obvious reasons.

Really? Maybe it's the HZ thingy. Can you add me to G+ and go talk with me. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aleve1983:
I have grafica Glitches with no pc KERNEL 10 december
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathanhuerta4:
I also have glitches, mainly when I leave the phone alone for a good 1 hour of standyby, then I would get a sms and i wake the phone only to find the lockscreen glitch and will become black, but it gets fixed when I lock it and wake it again. All in all I still love this kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Again? What the ****...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't answer that?

I mean, I did end up finding the .config file changes in your git commit history that enabled USB OTG support. What's wrong with sharing that info?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Oh, I was answering something else. He asked us how to use UST OTG and as I can't test it I can't answer him. I can obviously tell you what I changed in the config to enable USB OTG support, is that what you want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Oh actually I think you are right, he's asking about getting it to work with your kernel. Nevermind, I did figure out how you changed the .config file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Try again, just pushed two fixed kernel .zips (I'll kill someone if the glitch happens again!!!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nothing is broken it just doesnt report the amount of bytes of ram used by each app...that is just a reporting tool, nothing more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmesisca:
well the reporting tool is broken then.. :confused:

was listing properly before, not listing properly now... I m not saying this has any effect on the phone or the apps at all.. just that one of the recent changes in the kernel broke this.. I know if it was me I would be OCDing right now to find out where this gets broken..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
It may be just a cosmetic bug, but its still a bug nonetheless. Obviously its up to Franco to decide whether its something he thinks its worth fixing.

Looking forward to the new governors.

Has to be said, even though I fully understand the theory behind the 700/1200 and Conservative governor using the min/max frequencies, since I switched to 350/1350 on Interactive my battery life has improved dramatically. This kernel has always kicked ass in idle, but now I'm on course for hitting almost 6hours of screen on time (official extended GSM battery).

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
is it just the ramp up percentage that will be different? or a bit more complex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nic85:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nrgaway:
I thought it would also be a good idea to freeze apps for same reason. Problem was it is a pain in the a$$ to defrost then re-freeze when you want to use a frozen app, such as maps for a few minutes.

So I came up with the idea of a widget that would show the app icon, and have a status toggle beside it (to freeze/defrost). Just click the icon, and the app will auto defrost and launch. When its done, auto defrost (well this may be hard to do).

Any way I started a thread on this a few weeks back, but got no response. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455661. Basicly I was asking if there was already such an app, and if not I would attempt to create one if there was enough interest (which there is none at this time hehe)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No idea about that kind of app, but thats a nice idea for the future when I'm a bit more experienced with Java/Android programming ;)

By the way people I'm going to host an hangout on G+ in a few minutes, everyone is free to join if you have any questions or suggestions for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nrgaway:
Whats you google+ id? I look in profile and op and did not see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
-50mV UV from Franco's values. I'm on course for almost 6 hours. Currently on 3 hours 27mins screen time and 42% battery remaining. To clarify, I'm using the official Samsung GSM extended battery (2000mAh) and the CPU set up posted previously on AOKP 21.

Enjoy the screens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
To wrap up whats coming for #15 (which we talked about in our hangout):

* Two new governors based on conservative, franco_turtle and franco_gazelle, first for battery second for performance

* 920mhz bumped to 1000mhz

* CFQ scheduler default completely tuned for flash devices (fastest thing I've seen so far regarding IO schedulers)

* Other optimizations and tweaks that are not finished
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slip666knot:

Quick question Franco. Will the above 2 be in both kernels. From my point of view I would like to run the gazelle version with the ability to turn down the speed for long periods when not needed.

you're always doing a great job.

We are looking forward to 15! :)

so is gazelle 700-1200 and turtle 700-1000?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
Francisco, I know you said that UVing will be taken out of 15, is there a way I can manually put it back in? I've actually had pretty decent success with it.

I don't know if anyone else sees this but look. I'm using a variant of Bigxie's 4.0.3.

I don't care rats ass about that. RAM on Android is to be used, and I'm making sure that happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectre85:
Agree'd, I never understood why Dev's wanted to kill every single thing running in RAM, who gives a sh!t what's free and what's not.

Thanks for the contribution, looking forward to 15
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
That isn't what the guy is trying to point out. He is pointing out how from 14.3 on the app listing does not properly report how much ram an app is taking.

The complaints are NOT about total RAM used (well one was but this is a separate issue)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmesisca:
I dont care about the ram used either. I do care a bit about the broken reporting tool. why is it broken and could it potentially break other apps functionality if the API that is called to get the value is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Hello

Im using franco kernel 14.4 with AOKP 21, and i have a lot of data drops... do you think could be my baseband version?? is 19250XXKK1

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
It says all over the forums that for 4.0.3 roms you should be using at least XXKK6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
My guess is the upgrade to 3.0.18 broke it as other kernels w 3.0.18 have the same issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
Everything is fine for now.

Just 2 quick questions:

- how comes francoTurtle is set by default on 700-1200 (I did not touch anything)

- how can I remove the boot animation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Oh YES I forgot to write it in the log, it's stock! Thanks for the reminder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AzzaD:
thanks for #15, flashing now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
i'm positive this will be the best release for battery/performance yet! :D

also, the boot animation automatically set itself up, and it looks great ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schiehallion:
Just flash alternate animation. Thanks Francisco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttlycnfuzd:
Francisco - might want to let ppl know that if they have had one of your "set at boot" options checked, that they would have to delete the init.d script that gets created at that point.

For me, that old script overrides the turtle script that you created.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmicho:
Hi Franco,

Thank you very much for your work...much appreciated.

#15 installed and running well. With Franco turtle, should I underclock to get even better battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
Where can you delete the bootanimation from Franco's kernel? I really love the pink unicorn :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
is that the reason because I have it set to 700-1200 on francoTurtle, even if I didn't touch anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meilstone:
Actually i like the cry me a river part in the changelog. Like ever props to franco for this stunning release!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Im a bit unsure about upgrading now, i never had any interest in overclocking as it's 1.2 for a reason however i have no interest in under clocking it either.

I do however want the good battery, not sure whether that's going to be neglected now on the gazelle kernal in favor of the turtle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d3rutat:
...same here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meilstone:
Ist the battery life of gazelle comparable to the battery life of 14.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jrbourque:
Yes a version without changing boot animation would be awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Dunno, try and test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Remove /system/media/bootanim
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
Franco can you please confirm that this is set correctly? Is it supposed to be on 1000max or its just a governor thing?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmicho:
Franco, after install, in your app, default Franco turtle was set to 700-1200. Is that normal?

Also I cannot buy any apps from market is it possible to buy your app from other sources?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellesshoo:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcLandis:
It is caused by the previous settings still present in /system/etc/init.d/13overclock

Marc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
I never OCed though!

So what? Shell I set it back to 700-1000? Any other change?

Edit: indeed: I don't have any 13overclock in the init.d directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harmohn:
Not sure if it is as I've got the same & no 13overclock in init.d?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mondfahrer:
1. I copied the bootanimation.zip to system/media and also to data/local but still dont get any Bootanimation, only the Google sign. What to do?

2. After every reboot, my governor changed automatically to "interactive". I selected "francoTurtle" and 700 / 1200.

Anyone got some ideas? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jrbourque:
Sweet...I had changed my boot animation already prior to 15 in data / local ...flashing 15 didn't change it...just in case people don't want it changing when ever updating kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradm23:
I think Franco.turtle was suppose to come with stock Max at 1000? If so mine was at 1200

15.1??

Also I.like the boot animation. Sure scared me at first boot though. Always thought stock Aokp was kinda gay, lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:

Thanks for one more release Franco. I was using 14.4 on AOKP and it's an amazing work. After reading about some problems on AOKP I decided to go back to stock (rooted) but I miss the benefits from your kernel.

Is there any chance you release an 4.0.2 stock compatible version of franco kernel?

Obrigado
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minooch:
You have something that is changing your freq on boot - check init.d folder for 13overclock & make sure you're not using any other program to overclock on boot (like setcpu)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
No, I've got the same issue without having either 13overlock in init.d or any other overclocking app.

I have never overclocked or anything, but still turtle is set to 700-1200 default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewtang:
Try flashing faux's reset kernel, then try again, make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing. Good luck.

I didn't think voltages would be left accessible. Thank you for leaving them in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
I have same issue. Went from 13.1 to 15 boot looped. Got into cwm wiped cache and dalvik flashed 14.4. Booted fine. Boot to cwm wiped cache and then dalvik again. Failed again. Got to boot animation then crashed then stuck at Google screen. Recovery again and flashed 14.4 and that's where I'm at now.

Aokp build 20.

Only different mod is circle battery and soft keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
then just use francos app or setcpu to move it back to 1000mhz, or delete the whole init.d folder and flash again. why the panic?

working all fine here, thanks alot franco! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
No panic: just trying to understand where 1200 comes from! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
if 1200 wasnt there then you wont be able to get 1200 or 1350 with any governors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cutting-TM:
+1 for nit saving francoturtle as governor. Every time the interactive come back -.-

Tried Franco's app and set CPU, but not simultaneous ;-)

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
I mean set by default on first boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlrbjr:
Sure, but that kinda defeats one of the main features of your app. I like to download right to my device. Changing a zip on the device is not straightforward.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
I had the same thing... Turtle started at 1200 for me too and I didn't have anything set at boot. I can't say that I care, I just moved it to 700-1000.
