Since there were no changes it's not surprising, but USB tether is still hosed in 160. The good news is that wifi hotspot does work (still haven't tested bluetooth. Actually I've never used bluetooth tether so not even sure how to set it up).

I much prefer USB tether, and it does work in previous kernels. And that's somthing that I think should definitely be fixed before a milestone release. (Also IIRC someone was asking about a bluetooth mouse a few pages back and Franco said he knew what the issue was and would fix)

On another note: does anyone know where I can find a good guide (key word being good) to compiling an Android kernel on a Linux box (specifically Debian, but I should be able to adapt instructions for another distro as needed). Google gives me a bunch of results, of varying ages (not surprising) so some assistance is separating the wheat from the chaff would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll figure it out, eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randommmm:
I've been tried Franco kernel a few times, but Fifa2012 never works with your kernel.

But today, just flash Nightly r160 by Franco updater from Imosenyo's kernel, it works now!

I think maybe because it skips the clean shell script, no ripe of something essential for Fifa2012 or just because the games just won't work in Franco's ramdisk.

so here is the question, will you kernel work well this way? ( I really want to play fifa2012 )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leos0000:
Lol.... fifa 2012 work perfect on r160 .... and all games

I miss Franco Turtle and gazelle governor. I was having between 36 and 48 hours with heavy use with that governor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Appears to be a ROM issue as reports in the AOKP thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I use tethering a lot so Im definitely fix that **** before Milestone 4, dont worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
According to my phone the r999 version I flashed was 384
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssglackey:
Yes, but than you need to unlock it and that is the moment when sd card will be wiped. I had similar issue (boot loop) and flashing new rom, wiping both cashes, factory reset didn't helped me.

Only locking and unlocking boot loader fixed my bootloop issue. So give it a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B_sHorTy:
I'm still on aokp b35 with the latest #160 nightly kernel. It's blazing fast, unbelievable, really!.

Thanks Franco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Francisco said that was a mistake or intentional, either way it was 512mhz!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssglackey:
Btw, is it possible to allow phone discharge below factory default? Liion & lipol batteries can be discharged to 3V so to be on safe side 3,2 should be fine.

I am discharging my lipoly batteries for RC offroad car & liion cell for flashlight to 3V without any issue only trick is to charge it shortly after discharging to 3V (to prevent damage to the battery if voltage drops below 3V)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
After changing the colormultiplers and reboot I always have to set them again...before I never had these issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paranoid2007:
When it show 99% unplug the charger. Replug it again and wait, until it charges to 100%. After that, it will continue charging to 100%.

BTW: Opeth DOES rock!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Ive had this problem for a while

Which Rom are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssglackey:
Yes, also on 158. This picture is from 999
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grisha1:
Yes, and I'm on lean kernel 3.6...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
I have this problem as well... ever since the feanco updater 4.6 and 4.7 did not fix it for me.

I am running aokp build 35...

Franco as well as others are reporting that 4.7 fixed it for them.

I am ready to do a full wipe if this is not resolved. Idk about u guys but my frequencies and governor keep resetting and don't stick on boot.

The only way I can get it to stick on boot is via aokp setcpu and not Franco's app

It works if you change download path to something else than /sdcard/Download, press ok and then change it back to /sdcard/Download.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opethrocks:
Yes they most certainly do, but the the problem im having with blx isnt that i want it to charge to 100 i want it to stop charging at 96. But no matter what i set it to it charges to 99. I was thinking it was because i switched to cm plus kernel for like 5 min (a momentary lapse of reason honestly), and since that kernel uses a script to configure features like blx, im thinking something got from cm plus got left in my system when i flashed back franco

I set my multiplier as below:

I use such high value to compensate the uber-low brightness on auto setting.

The gamma is below:

red -1

green 0

blue 2

With these settings, the color looks a bit pale, but it looks more real.

PS - You should also check out AOKPCB here: http://pcb.team.broc.co/li/aokpcb/

Its based off of AOKP sources and it has a pretty sweet theme. They have a stable version which is based off of milestone 5 and they also have nightlies cooking

Yes that's the Franco app, VERY useful if you use Franco kernel a lot and WELL worth the $2 or so, which is basically like a donation to Franco for his awesome work

Voodoo color helps but it still not white, that's my only issue with this PHONE, the screen color sucks!!!! U can tweak every rom and kernel u will never get actual white, ( 100 people going tell me I'm wrong and to them hold a piece of white copy paper to ur phone be4 talking $%&#; )

same question.. is OTG gone in this r160? is it Kernel related at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
Franco... just letting you know that your app seems to not stick the color multipliers on boot. Everything else does. It was fixed, and it works fine on aokp and liquid. But for some reason cm9 doesn't like it. It always goes back to 200/200/200. Gamma settings and everything else is fine. Like i said only CM9. I also wiped and installed your app clean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
For the life of me I do not know how you guys are getting 3-4hrs of screen on time? I have 4g/gps turned off, lowered the auto brightness settings a GREAT DEAL, no wakelocks that I can find, 1228/729 cpu (my phone HATED 192), interactive gov....Liquid 1.35 rom, r160 kernel.

I get at most 90min of screen on time! I'd be happy with 2.5-3hrs...even when I ran milestone 3 at best I would get 2hrs but not consistently.

For those getting these OBSCENE numbers...what are your EXACT settings for EVERYTHING. Yea I know I'm being extreme asking this...but I just can NOT believe people are getting this crazy screen on time. How can all these phones be THAT different? from 1hr to 4hrs is a HUGE difference!

Seriously, please list your settings if you are getting 4+hrs of screen on time...there has to be SOMETHING I'm not doing right!

Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Segnale007:
Yes I bought it already. However I went to the color setting and I set the color suggested within the app, however the purple tint on the top when the brightness is set to a low level its still the same...

Any other configuration suggestion I can try??

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beachletter:
My phone comes with a severe greenish color and I was able to calibrate it to neutral white. I have to set red and green to 166 and 133 respectively in Franco's app, which was a huge shift, but the result was good. Put the phone against a pure white background and I can't tell any color deviation after the adjustment.

You need to calibrate your phone with a color calibrated display as reference, or better yet a tristimulus colorimeter (if you have access to one). You can't just use a white paper because the 'white' you see depends on the light source, not just the reflection surface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hjorvarth:
There could actually be a simple explanation - have you ever considered that your battery capacity is sub-par? In other words two equal cars will get varying fuel mileage depending not only on how they are driven but on the size of their tanks. Not every battery can reach the same mAH rating when charged due to various reasons owing to the chemicals and electrolytes of the lithiun cells.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willl03:
If you have a LTE phone it will use more battery but you can get a lot more out of it than that

ROM dont seem to affect the battery so much but a dark theme will help, I'm using BlackIce myself, it's based on AOKP. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18050-rom-blackice-toro-kangorade-351-5-14/

About the kernel, r158 was great for me, I will try r160 next. r133 is also on top, probably the best kernel I ever used for battery life

With franco kernel I'm using the ondemand governor, 384-13xx, generic hotplug on. I tried interactive with 729min but it used more battery. UV dont have a lot of impact, SmartReflex is doing a great job

Try freezing all uneeded apps / services in titanium backup or "Manage Apps" and make sure your phone is sleeping well. Disable uneeded syncs like photos and browser if you dont use, set your apps to sync every hour instead of a shorter time. Uninstall the facebook app and replace it with Friendcaster or an other alternative if you use this

You should be good with that.

My personal record with this setup is 3h45 screen on time, 16h30 since unplugged on stock battery, GSM.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
Thanks for the info...I should have written that I stopped ALL syncs except for my main email account. everything else is turned off. I also use a dark wallpaper & keep the screen VERY dim. I tried generic hotplug before but it didn't seem to do much...but it was with interactive. Maybe I'll tried it again with ondemand. As for CPU I thought the whole theory was that keeping a higher minimum allows the tasks to finish faster hence using less battery? I've never undervolted since I figured it would be best to let the phone do it's own thing.

I'll try this setup for a bit to see how it works. I do have the facebook app installed but all notifications are turned off...even syncing contacts...if this don't work I'll try uninstalling it. I have Friendcaster Pro but I do like the official app better in some ways...but Friendcaster is a good app.

Thanks again!

Any more tips?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
First of all, regular or extended battery? Those getting 4 hours screen time are almost definitely using the extended battery

Second of all use the second lowest slot if the 192 doesn't work for you, most of the time the CPU speed jumps to the higher frequencies when launching an app then it tends to sit at the lowest CPU slot unless it's a CPU intensive game

Third, yes a darker theme will help battery, for liquid 1.35, I'd suggest checking out NateModz red/black theme (look for it on rootzwiki, not sure if he has an xda thread), it's a pretty slick theme in my opinion

And lastly it all depends on the apps you use, some drain battery faster than others, if possible choose dark themes for any apps that have an option for it (like the xda app), also official Facebook app is notorious for killing battery

Sorry I forgot to say it's the VZN extended battery...I guess I'll try uninstalling the FB app then! Thanks!

I don't use Facebook so can't speak for that app.

What's bad ass battery saying your biggest drain is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
Sorry to sound rude but just TELLING us what you're getting isn't helping much. SHARING your settings is what helps. I could SAY I'm getting 20hrs of screen on time...but then I need to PROVE how I'm doing it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Well I just posted a screenshot to PROVE it.

My settings are 729/1344 ondemand

I installed the kernel and use my phone there is no magic, I don't install the kernel then **** with everything, UV this OC that lower this tweak that I don't do any of that!!! Right now I'm using Franco's power setting and getting 3.3 hours if I run it at 384/1228 I get 4 + Franco has interactive as default so.that's what I use . If the guy building the damn kernel spends hours and hours finding what works and what don't y the hell would u mess with it???? Just cause u can ya sound dumb to me ( none of that is directed towards you it's directed to hundreds of people that use this kernel and mess with everything then ***** there phone don work right )other settings I use ---- screen 70-75% bright, GPS, data, sync, all ON! Like I said no magic . ; )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
I find bad ass easier to interpret.

Also for what's it's worth, for me at least, signal and signal strength are the top killers of my battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
Believe it or not I am NOT a rookie to this stuff. I KNOW what wakelocks are & how to check them ALL...kernel AND partial. As I mentioned before I have GPS turned OFF completely. I look at the battery stats once per day & that's only when the charge gets into the 20% range.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
I didn't mess with ANYTHING on the kernel either except the gov & min/max. Everything else I "tweaked" were in the phone's stock settings. The fact that you have ALL those settings turned ON and screen at 75% ALL THE TIME is suspicious! Sorry to offend...but even others I've seen with 3-4hrs have lowered brightness to AT LEAST 50%, turned OFF LTE & GPS. You MUST have a MAGIC PHONE if you get 4+ hrs and haven't turned anything off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
You know what another thing I do I don't baby the damn phone if the phone needs charged in middle of day and still has plenty of battery ill charge the damn thing, if it runs out of ****ing battery and dies oh well I plug it into a charger and turn it on. I don't sit there in watch my battery die, or install fancy apps to watch this or watch that I don't do any of that crap. If something is running in the background we'll it probly should be, unless its drastic ......

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
Well you did say you charge the battery in the middle of the day if needed...so you DON'T get 4+ hours on a SINGLE CHARGE!

And you need to chill out! You are the ONLY one who SAYS he's getting this kind of screen on time yet you turned off NOTHING while all the others who get the same kind of time had to work at it a bit...mostly common sense thinking...turn off battery hogs when not needed...dim screen etc...NO MAGIC.

Now before I SAY SOMETHING STUPID to get yelled at I'll thank those who ACTUALLY tried to HELP ME.

Have a Nice Day! :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
He said if he needed to he would charge it during the day.

Getting 4 hours isn't all that uncommon, just because you can't get it set up to get it doesn't mean no one else can.

I gave you the settings I used to get 5 hours on my phone so try them out.

Look for apps keeping your phone awake, Facebook is a major culprit.

And if you don't believe that I got the time I got then check the first post I made to you.

Now chill out everyone and take it easy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Byte:
Believe it or not, that MAY be the cause of your problem, if you have some location-demanding app on your phone. Try turning GPS on. It sounds counter-intuitive, but you might actually be able to pick up the problem by looking at GPS activity.

The display, camera and GPS are the elephants in the room to a mobile phone battery. The radios are next. The CPU is barely a factor. If your battery is dying in a matter of 10-12 hours, you either have a hardware problem, a decidedly poor reception issue, or something fundamentally wrong.

There are plenty of apps out there to track energy use. If nothing is drawing energy, it must be a defect. Simple as that. Any drain will show up somewhere. My post above was updated after you read it - it might have some other clues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
That's an interesting perspective. I never thought of it that way. I usually turn GPS on as needed. Usually an app will let you know when it needs it. I figured the CPU is the least of my worries...I figured either something I missed in my setup or a bad battery. But I do remember one time getting 3hrs of screen on time but I can't remember which kernel I was on? It was a Franco kernel but I don't remember which version? It was about 2 months ago.

Thanks
