You shouldnt run with a different kernel on CM9 (this is what they recommend) The Rom is smooth and runs great ! Ehy do you flash another kernel ?

Kodink says...stay on CM Kernel, its trimmed perfect to the Rom.

Apps Touch Up

Franco, i found some temperature display error on your apps.. Picture below explain everything :)

ROM: AOKP Build 32

Kernel: Franco Kernel b135 512mhz

LCD Density: 320

NOTE: Only occur at certain temperature...

By the way, core temperature hits 58 degree Celsius when i am playing games... Is it too high? Ambient temp is about 28 degree....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
Strange. I don't have this problem. Please give additional info (ROM, LCD density).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkaDiZ:
Information updated in my post...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Mine works fine. On the average 35-37˚C
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 6jaipur6:
No it happens with Faux too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Thanks got it. Is there a rom that has the option of enable/disable hotplug by default in a menu? Should i use only terminal or franco app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
just use his app, you're donating to him AND it's my (and for many of us) favorite app.

Thats the temperature when you are playing games? What is your ambient temp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Does anyone know what a prx_wake_lock is? Found it through BetterBatteryStats under kernel wakelocks and it's eating my battery while screen_off.

This is an average temperature. When i'm playing the temp is about 42-44˚C

An ambient temp is 21˚C. I'm in the office now.

I hit 57c yesterday while playing dead space, i almost cracked an egg on my phone an made an omelet, :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] relax24:
Just did a screen on test in terms of battery life. I opened up wifi explorer which ensures the screen doesn't go off:

auto brightness - 1% drain every 4 minutes

100 % brightness - 1% drain every 4 minutes

Not sure what to make of that. I'm thinking im going to test a full days usage and just leave it on full brightness to see how much screen on time i get.

I tend to wake my phone alot to read and reply to whatsapp so everytime I wake the phone, I assume the autobrightness sensor is reconfiguring? Could be completely wrong, but hey worth a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
It could be that wifi explorer is causing 0.99% drain every 4 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] relax24:
No the screen was on during the whole test. It's the screen on battery drain that I'm gauging. Wifi sxplorer doesn't use all that battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikosrs4:
Auto brightness but what were the light conditions? Maybe the screen was almost at max even on auto. Try also with minimum brightness.

Try it. Liquid doesn't run as smooth, I can guarantee it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Liquid runs better for me, but it differs from user to user since we all have different opinions and usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
I've been on liquid for about 3 weeks... longest I've been on one ROM without updating or anything in a loooong time. Liquid is smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
same here. while the first day is prteey smooth. but it become a bit slow especially while scrolling in the home screen. quite laggy.

now trying cm9 rom with franco kernel and see how it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
I tried to search for this answer but no luck.

Could you share what min/max/gov or generic hotplug you use personally?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Liquid never really ran very good for me, gummy was just awful, AOKP is to packed, bamf is awesome and CM9 wins
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
I think he's 350 -1200 (idk actually exact numbers) interactive with no hotplug
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
i suggest you can try it out yourself as different device has different result. also this kind of question is keep asking in almost every page.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveact:
same problem with me.

the prx_wake_lock is eating my battery on wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Is there a big difference in stability and performance between milestone 2 and r135?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
With 2000mah battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
More performance thats for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
Well I saw people asking what other people were using, but I was curious as to what the man himself was running.

Oh ok, thanks. I was thinking he was running something like 700-1000 OnDemand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I've never had a bug with a nightly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Hi,

I just rooted my phone.

Installed $135 nightly.

Settings / about shows that I'm running Franco kernel v135.

What's next?

Should I purchase an App from Market?

Do I need that App? What I'm gaining from Franco kernel after default install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
I wonder how strong the "Franco" effect is whenever he drops which rom he is using. To me it seems that he is rom agnostic and uses whichever. But I'm sure the rom he name drops sees a sudden spike in downloads bc Franco is currently using it and we think it's the best combination with el kernel. Testament to how much we trust and value his opinion.

edit forgot to quote,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
Last i heard he was runnin CM9 but that was abiut 4 weeks ago i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
I have a question I really hope someone could answer, what affects the GPS signal? Is it the kernel or radio?

When I was on 4.0.1 the GPS was a beast it connects instantly and I have very strong signal even under tunnels after I received the 4.0.2 OTA, it became almost useless.

So if the kernel helps or has something to do with GPS, will this one help the GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nightly 5 is up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
Thanks for all your work Franco, all the best and happy holidays to you and yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asenduk:
Working great..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sona911:
Thanks for your effort and a great kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Noticing some lag when scrolling through bookmarks in the browser with build 5 and hotplug governor.

Nice and smooth with ondemand however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
Just installed it and its amazingly faster. Merry Christmas :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
It was apparent from the boot animation that this was good. I already have the improved ics boot ,but this time the colors just popped. And dim whites no longer look like linen. Thank you and merry Christmas!

Absolutely spectacular kernel.

Phone is smoother than i have ever experienced. Battery life is average though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GchildT:
Awesome kernel. Thanks! Looks like you pumped up the blues. I like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
Nightly 5 is great! Much smoother and faster, and the colors are awesome. Now my whites at low light have no lines! And other colors just pop even more ! I think you did an amazing job. I will report battery life after using for a day... see you later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deus_eps_machina:
How are you seeing the colors? I certainly don't see the colors on mine I even wiped everything and then flashed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leshake:
What ROM is everyone using with nightly 5? Using the latest AOSP 4.0.3 from Bigxie and getting some random freezes which require battery pull
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Odd. I use that ROM and I haven't experienced any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Loving the speed and stability of your kernels. One question though... how does one go about tweaking colors?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leshake:
my mistake. it seems that despite a complete wipe, after installing the ROM one must re-wipe cache and dalvik before installing the kernel.

works perfectly now, amazing speed! and boot times seem to be quicker. no GTA support as others have mentioned (although the inconsistent framerates make the game nearly unplayable).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manafa:
Merry Christmas to all of you, guys. I just installed Franco's kernel over Paul's rom, but I have one question? Should I use setcpu or something similar to set the governor or I can live without that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protocol 7:
Thanks for making this, but I have one question. Should I be doing anything prior to or post flashing? I'm on stock ICS and when I flash the kernel, I can't get past the Google boot image. It's unlocked and rooted, but I can't seem to figure out why it does this. I've tried restoring and reflashing twice, and even tried flashing on a brand new ROM, still no dice. It's LTE.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
This is for 4.0.3 not stock 4.0.1 (or 4.0.2 if you've updated with OTA)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I would purchase the app, it offers great features like auto-flash latest nightlies, CPU management, many of Franco's kernel features such as hot plug, color settings and more. You have now transformed your phone into a brick of butter after flashing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Maybe my english is not good, but what is "brick of butter" in this case?

But for instance I don't have that up purchased, does the kernel itself saves my battery?

Or in other words: what this Kernel does without an app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
it's great without one, but you would support Franco and your phone experience by purchasing his app. It's just a few bucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
He means his prone is really smooth, like butter. You can do the basic things without his app like overclocking and undervolting, but if you want to change the colors or the core voltages I'd suggest the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
So do you guys use regular CM9 nightlies or Winner's Kang of CM9? I am probably going to try CM9 out with this kernel since I never tried CM on my Nexus yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Henchmin:
Cm9 definitely feels faster and more responsive to me but I use AOKP purely for changing the nav buttons, not having a dedicated search/menu button annoys the **** out of me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I only would recommend with Stock Kernel like the CM9 Team does ! I just heard that many people had issues with different Kernel.

Taptalked by GNex -- CyanogenMod9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
+1 for CM9 nightlies. I've been on it for a while (back when Franco said he was using it on 4/1). I have had no issues with using Franco's Kernel with CM9. In fact I came from AOKP, tried liquid, and fell for CM9.

edit* ok 1 issue, can't use cm9's color settings but it's a non issue with the franco app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GibMcFragger:
I use Skankwich, which is CM9+cherry picks.

That combined with this killer kernel and voodoo color = a fat stick of buttery goodness.

Swyped from my GNex on CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Aye, its unbelievable when I drop what rom I'm using roms get a big spike of downloads =)

I'm running Liquid at the moment because I'm helping them with code on the OS part. Let's see how much customization and speed I can give to the rom. Currently I'm going to try and tweak the default ICS launcher. We'll see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
If you can make the ics launcher smooth when opening and closing the app drawer without dropping any frames, then you're the best
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
I'm going to have to go back and try Liquid + Franco Bonus when that happens. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myrdog:
Doesn't Liquid force you to use Apex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cutting-TM:
Very interesting. It would be funny if you step in dorimanx's footsteps Franco. Own Kernel, own Rom and it was amazing. Think about it? ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
My current choice, glad to see your expertise is being used to improve it.

Still have no idea how you get the screen on time you do when I use practically the same setup :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Hmm, I pulled some strings, lets see what happens :)

Not my own rom. I had a rom a year ago and its just too much trouble for my likes. Currently I'll help Liquid rom and see what we can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
I know you just stated that you dont reg post your rom because everyone jumps on it but would you consider posting in the OP your current settings for the kernel so hotplug uv settings etc.....?

Im not that technically gifted when it comes to Android but could use your app to mimic your settings knowing im using the same as you

Im sure im not alone in my limited knowledge..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winner00:
and off to liquids github.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
OP is updated every Milestone release. My eta for Milestone 3 is next week tops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
I mean the actual settings you use, so whether you use generic hotplug or change govenor etc.

I know you already have a hole load of stuff to do so understand if its a pain for you mate

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
Franco i have a question,

Iam using your 135 kernel 512 OC, i love playing games on this phone, mostly asphalt 6, would it be worth OC to 1344, or should 1228 be more than enough with the gpu being at 512?

Thanks for this great kernel by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
just passing by

but actually i suggest you to feel it by yourself from trying it out both frequency when playing

i am interested to know your result too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myrdog:
Franco,

I was hoping I could bug you for a feature addition to the app. Is there anyway we could get an indication of which GPU we are running? I can't remember if I flashed 384 or 512 and I don't see anywhere that I can check. I know this partially comes down to me being an absent-minded dope, but I feel like I'm not the only one that may forget from time to time. Would be nice to see, if at all possible. Even if its just the nightly identifier reading #135-384 vs #135-512

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
I will give a good testing with asphalt as its fast action paced, and frame rates are crucial.

Will report back in about an hour or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manafa:
Guys, can you point me to a thread, where I can read more about different governors and what excatly they did?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:

Huge difference in speed and certainly battery life. I upgraded 2 days ago from M-2. Just loving 135.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theMaDHakkeR:
How are you guys getting Asphalt to run? It keeps telling me its not compatible with my device.... That and RipTide also never works for me..

Im running CM9 with #135 and 512GPU. No problems with any other games or apps.

Never mind, just updated and its working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
Wait so CM9 doesn't have menu button soft key feature? I need that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
It done that to me before, I just rebooted my phone.

(I am aware this is off topic but he's asking for help)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniac2403:
No, CM9 doesn't have that yet. When the first milestone comes out, then it would have all those features. Till then AOKP is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] latiszm:
Best of two worlds is Skankwich CM9, its CM9 with some cherry-picks. They got nav-bar customisation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubino90:
Sorry i have one question but the fast charghe is possible damage the battery? Thanks for reply i can't wait for milestone3!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myrdog:
Fast charge won't hurt the battery anymore than a wall charger. All it does is allow the same speed charging as when you're plugged into the wall when you're plugged into your computer's USB port. Normally the computer would charge the phone slower due to the data connection. So sure, charging faster probably has some detriment to the battery, but unless you're a USB socket purist, there's no reason to not turn it on if you want the same speed from your computer port.

r138:

EXPERIMENTAL BUILD DONT CRY IF YOUR DEVICE MOVES TOO FAST

* As a little experiment I enabled Smartreflex3 for real instead of Smartreflex1.5. According to TI's errata the Galaxy Nexus works better with SR1.5, but I will only believe after I read users feedback. This change breaks the CalibratedVoltages panel in the app since the voltages calibration is done at the hardware level

* Reduced VAUX3 and VUSIM voltages for extra screen on time

* Some relevant OMAP4 patches from omapzoon and android-omap-3.0

* Some other minor changes that can be seen on my repo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChosSimbaOne:
Thanks Franco! Time to make and Nandroid and start testing :-) Will report later :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Thanks man. Also heard you're working with Liquid ;)

Edit: And I thought the One X was fast...holy ****, my phone fliesss since the past 5-10 nightlies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
Ive flashed all is well, what should i expect to notice if smart reflex 3 is not as good as 1.5 ? Worse battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes I'm helping them, the project seems solid.

Well if SR3 sucks I bet there will be worse battery life and *maybe* some crashes. My testers didn't complain, but I'm always ready for the worse ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
Liquid is a GREAT ROM and now combined with the BEST kernel it won't be beat! I've been using Liquid since I got my Nexus about 6 weeks ago. I can't wait for 1.3 to be released. Are you involved with that release or part of future builds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes I think some of my code will be merged for that release but future ones will be much more involved with my code as I plan to help them up a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
Ok thanks dude, will give a good testing, should imagine a good few high end games will push it. (If there will be any crashing that is).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpbelli:
You can use this (which works pretty good) to accomplish that: update-reloaded-1.9b3-cm9-041012.zip

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Flashed 138 5 mins ago and already have a new high score on temple run. This nightly is clearly a winner
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bavilo:
Ok so which settings do you guys recommend for r138 in terms of UV/governor/etc..

I guess we should try smart reflex again. But combined with which governor. Also does anyone still use generic hotplug ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnIXmA:
smartflex is not under volting for me on r138.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siuba:
r138 just tried..

calibrated voltages doesnt show any voltage.. all 0mV

and the fonts all mess up..

btw, i found out fran.kernel updater cant flash back to r135, need to use CWM.. omg!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No ****. Reading changelog helps too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
lol, read the changelog of r138 before you post something ridiculous like this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bavilo:
It just breaks the panel right? But it still under volts? Also could you recommend a governor for r138? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myrdog:
So this is the r138 post... Read the section on Calibrated Voltages

See above and use Milestone builds if you're too prissy to open CWM when running something you were TOLD is experimental.

See above.

**** me, I've only been in this thread a couple days but I can see how annoying the people who can't so much as read release notes can get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UltraBoykj:
It warms my heart that francos kernel is giving me the highest benchmarks. Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I don't want to be a prick, but if it broke anything else I would inform in the changelog. I have a user base so big that I can't afford to disclose important information. Just use the default governor, its there for a reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnIXmA:
I did read the change log about the new smart flex before posting. I wasnt complaining or whining, just informing that it is not working:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bavilo:
My post wasn't meant to be offensive. I just wanted to make sure that it still under volts. I don't care if the panel doesn't work. Keep up the good work :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
The low memory killer changes is causing lag for me in 138. Anybody notice this?

Its also breaking the functionality provided by the v6 supercharger.

Now the kernel isn't obeying the minfree settings that I've set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siuba:
R135 restored thur CWM .. how come need to optimize app again?

i m using double-bytes characters! (chinese language)

is it the main reason cos the fonts mess up?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Running great so far. What's the default governor again? I change it so often I forgot lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Thanks... its not the script, but the fact that i've made changes to the minfree values to give me 300megs of free memory. With the lowmemorykiller changes, it doesn't seem to be obeying that anymore.

Thats something google still hasn't fixed.
