running AXI0M V6 w/ r85 (350MHz Min, 512MHz GPU, everything else stock)

very smooth, although I do get the occasional lock screen lag (had it with r66 and M1 as well) but it's not a big deal IMHO.

fyi, min CPU directly effects your GPU voltage since they are linked.

*synced not linked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
No lags with AOKP M4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aleve1983:
307 or 512 have same battery usage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
GPU and CPU Voltages are linked... so that means whatever voltage your CPU is running at is what your GPU will be running at

*synced not linked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Craiq:
its a clean install and kernel after one boot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Franco, first of all congrats on your great work and a big thank you. Now Ezekeel specificly instructs not to use init.d scripts for setting the GPU clock because it will most certainly freeze the device. Does your implementation behave the same? Please provide some information.

Another thing i would like to ask, is to give us some information on how much each GPU oc step will consume more battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maisi:
That's not true, Smartreflex handles them individually, they aren't linked.

If implemented by the dev you can change them yourself too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
hmm... i can swear I read that here, and the voltage interface shows it as such...

digging up the post now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maisi:
Just check the calibrated values(dmesg), there is one mpu entry for each clock step -> cpu, one entry for iva (which should be the video encoder ) and one entry for the gpu (called core in the log).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
this is from franco himself:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maisi:
Well they increase but they still are independent since you can change them like you want.

And they get calibrated individually.

So they aren't linked per se because the gpu doesn't run on the same voltage that the cpu does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
a better choice of words would have been synced, not linked. Either way, the voltages are the same in the end
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duRin90:
Can guys who listen to the music on their devices tell me what min freq are you using?

350 or 700?

Moreover I cannot hear any difference with sound settings within your app franco. Increasing volume does nothing. High performance sound as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emerica243:
So i updated to the latest kernels. Now my MHL adapter isnt working correctly.. THe screen only turns on on the monitor when im actively touching the phone screen. Or else it flickers off.

EDIT:

went back to milestone 1, and its working fine, so something weird with latest nightly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas4ever:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
Is there any improvement for overclocking the gpu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CSCicus:
Its there way to increase bluetooth volume ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maisi:
In Benchmarks or the UI?

Well in the M3D Benchmark i got :

10,96 fps on 307Mhz ->100

12,18 fps on 384Mhz ->111%

13,91 fps on 512Mhz ->126%

350-1200Mhz with ondemand governor

And 15,024 fps on 512Mhz with 1350Mhz and the performance governor ->137%

I also think the UI is more fluent but that can't be measured and could be pure imagination.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
DSP Manager will work (Will boost volume and improve sound), here is a link for your downloading pleasure

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7812701/DSP-Manager-ICS-CM9K.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
I was not aware of this. Thanks for sharing! From a quick search on the net, they say its an equalizer that also boosts your volume. Can you point me to a direction to get more info pls? And which in your opinion is best, this, volume+ or the volume boost in the kernel?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
But seems that there's no noticeable improvement in the UI and the phone become hot very soon. Especially the area near the back camera.

Also does it drain lots of battery while in 512mhz?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maisi:
Well, at least on my phone i don't really see a difference in battery life because of the GPU OC, so I will keep on using the 512Mhz because it feels faster ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Go to theverge.com mobile site and try scrolling using the various gpu settings. To me at 512mhz the scrolling is much smoother compared to 307 or 384mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewlim:
Just flashed r85 coming from r66. Tried using 512 oc gpu but i started seeing artifacts and i ended up doing a batt pull. With r66 i dont experience any of this and it was running smooth. Any reason why r66 works good and not r85? As i understand the r66 has 512 oc gpu dunno why on r85 i get artifacts with this settings. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
are you undervolted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcoy82:
Had great results with r66, switched up to R85 and I know it's early but so far it seems like I'm getting much better battery with the stock GPU on this thing.

Keep up the great work Franco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewlim:
No. I never uv.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HTCDevil:
Great M1 on AOKP M4, smooth!!!

Let's see battery duration after at least 5 days of test.

OP naturally thanked. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
anyone notice that while overclocking the gpu the phone will get hot very soon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cchhat01:
Franco what did you do... ?

I mean i was getting good battery life on AOKP M3 and Franco 15.2... Why must you do this to me... ?

I'm on AOKP M4 and R66 and I've seen THE BEST battery life EVER.

Unplugged the phone before going to sleep and now after waking up, I'm seeing only 4% drop (at 96%) after nearly 9 hours. And this is with all gmail sync and 3G data on overnight...

Un-frikkin-believable...

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Did you seriously not read one page back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsfozzy:
Hi Franco, sorry for the lack of technical info, but I've had a reboot and a sleep of death using r85 on AOKP M4. No kernel settings were changed, and both problems happened after periods of inactivity.

Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
Oh sorry I was blind. I apologize.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alphaola:
Rom : modaco 4.0.4

Kernel: Franco r66

Autobrighness

No UV

Most time on 3g

I put the phone on airplane mode at work poor signal even when I had the signal on kept losing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alec534:
SetCPU allows you to change the up threshold for the OnDemand governor. Is there any reason not to use SetCPU to change this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No problem what so ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maguire11:
Not sure if it is kernel related. Anybody notice the phones vibrate being crazy weak? Almost un noticeable unless you have it in your hand?

Newest nightly on cna 1.5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FatherD:
BUG:

android.process.media constantly high cpu usage, often force closes after updating to r85. Very high battery usage with this issue!

GNex UK 3three

Modaco mcr Ir11

CPU 350-1350 ondemend

GPU 307mhz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes what do you want me to do about that? That's music/gallery stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
what do you suggest for the Up Threshold? I switched from r66 to r85, when I looked in SetCPU, it said the up threshold was 95... I changed it to 80.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FatherD:
oh.. ok.

It is in no way related to the nightly kernel then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
shows up as 80 by default for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Just finished the battery check - Result -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
In Franco's app, am I missing the setting to set undervolt settings on boot? I only have an "apply now" button but no "apply on boot" checkbox. The "set at boot" for the previous page only applied min/max + governor. I'm using my ROM to set it at boot, just curious why the setting isn't in the app. Not really a big deal :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradm23:
Franco I know you have been working hard on getting the color control to set on boot, however I wanted to report that it isn't sticking for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fjdifede:
R66

Is so far the best kernel I have tried better than M1 or R85 no overheat reboot or lags and good battery life wish franco can use this as a base and add 1500 over clock to it.

Thanks for this grate kernel. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
For security puposes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
It works, just re-set the multipliers at least once.

I'm really enjoying seeing awesome battery life reports so as a bonus I will drop Turtle again later today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maguire11:
Disregard my weak vibrate complaint. Reflash fixed it. I'm also getting amazing battery life on the newest nightly. If I didn't waste a couple percent rebooting 4 times trying to fix the vibrate it would be even better. Will post screenshot when I get to 5 percent
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grumphy:
Yeah! Turtle back!

This phones' getting real bleeding edge!

muitíssimo obrigado!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clepsy:
Sorry I couldn't refrain myself in not flashing the new releases :) was on R66 with 60% battery left and almost 2 hours of screen on undervolted with cpu 350min-1350 max, definitely a big improvement almost 100% better, grats
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
Same issues for me, ran #19 without issues with 512 gpu but r85 is giving me issues with 512 gpu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
r66 and r85 are 99% the same, big difference is the live_gpu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
What kind of issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubino90:
Sorry franco

When i used auto flashed las nightly with your app before phone wipe dalvik cache or not?is necessary after? Which governor your reconmended? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
Screen on nexus becomes very laggy, have to revert to lower clock speed on gpu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clepsy:
Yea I would add this now as I tested the new release when I set the GPU at 512 mhz I get extreme lags after reboot (almost impossible to switch the menus), setting back to a lower value (384 or 307) the lag disappear

Also nenamark2 is more lagy with the 512 mhz gpu than 384. I used other 512mhz gpu kernels without any issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Try to give it some extra voltage like this:

cat /sys/class/misc/customvoltage/core_voltages (take note of the stock voltages).

Then:

echo voltage1 voltage2 voltage3 > /sys/class/misc/customvoltage/core_voltages

voltage 1 -> 307mhz

voltage 2 -> 384mhz

voltage 3 -> 512mhz

Then tell me if it helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kimboinatl:
I was on R66, and now I'm on R85. Both are super smooth. I can't say that I notice much of a difference so far with R85, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Running nightly 85 with Modaco's 4.0.4 rom and so far its great especially the live gpu overclocking :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
Sorry Franco, is there a easier way to modify the voltage using your app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I farted

Using r85 and working beautiful and super silky smooth. No glitches whatsoeveToo soon to know battery life though. Glad you added the 384 for gpu as mine would get glitch on 512 for gpu. Any way you could get a step in between those in the 400's somewhere? Would like to see if my phone could handle a little more OC.

What about a way to also over volt within the app? I was actually going to try this with the 512 on the gpu as you suggested to one poster just a few posts back. Appreciate all the work FrancIts great stuff thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paranoid2007:
GPU 512 gives me graphical glitches with r85. Maybe we need an option to increase the voltage via the Franco app.

Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Not yet, I never actually cared for GPU voltages to be changed on the app, but they were there since Ezekeel released his Custom Voltage mod eheh.

I'll work on that after Milestone 2.

An intermediate step is doable. I'll think about it after Milestone 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clepsy:
hmm tried this, I checked the voltage which was 1250 1127 960, how can the lower voltage be on the higher frequency? Anyway I set up for voltage 3 1250 and the phone got frozen, had to pull off the battery :) I tried again with 1127 got the same phone froze, what was wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hi,

With your own governors,can you keep Interactive,Conservative and Ondemand governors?

Or at least Ondemand?

It would be really nice and easier to tweak with apps like SetCPU,System Tuner,etc...(for sampling_rate/up_treshold for example) :)

It's not possible if you remove the "stock" governors for your own...

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubino90:
Please reply me if i flash automatic with franco app is necessary wipe dalvik or id it automatic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
My mistake sorry, it's the other way around, swap voltage1 and voltage3 being voltage1 512mhz and voltage3 307.

Don't worry won't remove those governors.

Just flash it automatically and don't worry about anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duRin90:
Right, seems that sound controls in your app DOES work but not with speaker (now I'm listening to music with my earplugs and it's all good).

Is this normal that high performance sound seems to dim volume a wee bit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clepsy:
Yea I was thinking about, done as you indicated, phone didn't froze but the lag is still present, in nenamark2 it lags from 10 fps to 30-40fps and you can fell how it just almost drops to 1-2 fps

Is there a way to check that the voltage are applied? I used 1300 mv and second time 1360 didn't try more even if I didn't feel any overheating :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
What are some good options in the settings menu to pick for better battery life? This is what I have now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
Hey does anybody know this kernel work with Foxhound 4.0.4? Seems they don't wanna play nice with each other!! Nightlies or stable...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duRin90:
Franco, can you tell me how much more battery can high performance sound eat?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Hi! Is it just me or doesn't the app save settings on boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
I haven't used the kernel on turtle or gazelle before (ondemand now with up threshold at 90). What changes would they bring?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cubano07x:
Just as a FYI for those that Undervolt....I have tried the following settings on MY phone and they work perfectly, no weirdness, freezing, artifacts, etc. Too soon to say how much batter has improved since it has only been on for about 6 hrs, what I did notice however, is that it runs significantly cooler than the stock voltages.

I basically took the settings from the James Bond kernel and tweaked the 1000Mhz one by adding 25mV since his does not have that step.

1350 Mhz - 1225mV

1200 Mhz - 1175mV

1000 Mhz - 1075mV

700 Mhz - 975mV

350 Mhz - 850mV

Remember that this may or may not work with your phone but it's worth trying. Another side note, I'm running on m1...I will try the same on m2. I prefer the stable builds over the nightly, potentially buggy builds for reasons like this.

Have fun!

Using #85 and color are not set on boot anymore... they always reset to 200/200/200 ... But gamma settings are ok... Is this a known issue... Sorry, didn't read the whole topic...

Thanks, everything else is fine!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
It works for me. Re-set all 3 multipliers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CSCicus:
Not working but thanks for response
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maguire11:
I don't know why everybody is saying that their colours or overclocking isn't working on boot. It's been working for me for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
+1 Works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
For me it doesn't save on boot (multipliers are set to 200) and for the gamma values to take place I need to change at least one value. If it helps I am using Modaco's 4.0.4 ROM with SuperSU instead of Superuser.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Like I said change all multipliers are least once. I'm using modacos 4.0.4 as well and no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellaryt:

Franco,

Would be correct to assume that "francoTurtle" is like "conservative" with a higher up_threshold?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
For anyone interested this video can help explain how high performance mode differs from the default low power mode in our phones.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqQX3htzhSY&feature=player_embedded

Although Franco says in his app that the high performance toggle "improves clarity", that's not really what's going on. According to the manual for our sound chip, it allows full dynamic range.

This is why it seems high performance mode is quieter. More accurately the loud sounds are just as loud, while the normal sounds are quieter (as the music is intended to be).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
Thanks a lot. I am not an audiophile and don't know much about audio files but I am under the impression that MP3 filess are compressed and so lose much of the clarity anyway. Is there still value in utilising the full dynamic range?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
I forgot to post this earlier, but I left my phone from 99% while sleeping on r85 and this is what I got.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
Haven't tried Franco.kernel in a loonng time. Giving it a go again M1 hopefully M2 soon its already up to R89!

Update 1: It looks bluer!! I'm guessing he changed the color values. Is this what everything else is using? (francos color values?) I kinda like it! can anyone provide the changes or franco's color values?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
one problem though: according to the video, the songs released in this day and age are already reduced in quality becuase of the artificial volume increase. The quality is therefore already lost regardless of the playing device.

I don't think the video has a lot to do with the high performance audio of the TI chip .
