Quick questions about the franco.Kernel Updater app:

1. When I choose "Auto-flash latest nightly", does it automatically wipe cache/dalvik before flashing?

2. Is there not an option to download the nightly zip through the app without auto-installing it? I only see option to download stable version.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mistermojorizin:
i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say flash a new boot animation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I don't know but I never wiping before a new kernel flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kout:
I did, went to system/media, pulled the bootanimation.zip, and it's the default bootanimation, that's why I don't understand

edit : found it, deleted the bootanimation in /data/local, and it's back to stock. didn't know bootanimations could be stored at different locations
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colpophage:
The one in data/local overrides the system/media one, allowing you to put one in data/local that will always reappear when flashing a ROM.

Swyped on my rooted AOKP(m4) Galaxy Nexus with XDA app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kout:
thanks for that, I was just used to my old Galaxy S :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fritzman:
thanks

...your last nightly r66 is really the best...all is now so smooth...don´t change this

version please...many greets
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nah I won't. Only live gpu now and it will be labeled as Milestone 2 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I'm not sure what live gpu is, but if this kernel gets any better I'm gonna have to marry you Franco. No homo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Wow, thats great! I will have a lot of catch up to do..

Keep up the good work Franco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
Don't be ridiculous, Francisco will marry me. :-P

Lets hope his gf never sees this then :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstanton86:
Hi. Apologies for such a nub question. But what's the difference between r66 and milestone one? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flattyfour:
late in the game but... wow r66 is snappy!

very nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alphaola:
could you please explain more about the live gpu stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hasnol143:
Fixed volume probs, reduced standby and screen on battery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Explain what? I havent even start coding it...

*Process of insane music testing* r66
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradm23:
I played Google music over wifi for 30 min and lost 4% with high performance sound in Franco app checked. I consider this really good and found my go to kernel if I ever test more. Best kernel I've tried to date, can't wait for it to get even better!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
Just wanted to post to say that I had switched to another kernel for a month or so, just came back to try out r66, and WOW that thing is insane how smooth it is. Been a while since my phone has been that smooth.

I changed max freq. to 1350 and min to 350, but I suspect the smoothness is actually coming from the GPU clock that I've been reading about in the past pages :) So was Colin Cross wrong about his GPU clock statements? Or have you gone about GPU OC a different way Franco?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I believe that what Colin said is true. Who am I to say that one of the main Android Kernel developers is wrong? But there is no denial that 512mhz brings huge improvements to the UI rendering, no doubt about that and I'm willing to sacrifice a little bit of my battery, dunno how much but I dont care, to have this kind of smooth feeling. I was a little skeptical about this overclock but now I'm looking forward to use it forever :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
To be honest I feel like 350mhz with the 512 gpu is smoother than 700mhz at 384(?). Even if it uses more battery, it doesn't seem like it's much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I'm still trying to decide if using 350mhz as min is now better since we're using an aggressive GPU overclock. Thing is that the MPU OPP and Core OPP run synced (not 100% sure but pretty confident on this). When I increase my min to 700 from 350 I watch both MPU and Core calibrated voltages rise a bit, so I maybe we can save some battery with 350mhz to force the Core OPP to run at a lower voltage. This is a little hard to explain since english is not my main language, but I think this is what happens.

This is all speculation so don't start going berserk because I said 350mhz as min might be better now with the GPU overclock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
I know what you mean haha, that would be neat to see in some future nightlies too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
What do you mean? I already removed the 700mhz as min restriction on my local build mainly because I don't want to force users to run at a higher frequency. If they want to run at 700mhz they set it, if they don't want to I can't force them to do so ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
I have to add that even though I understand the reasoning behind the recommendation of 700Mhz min, I have always gained battery life with a negligible impact upon performance running 350Mhz min.

Everyone's usage/experience differs however.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZPrimed:
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this kernel won't fully support the Toro Nexus (LTE/CDMA)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nop, that's something I plan to do soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicandris:
flashed kernel on GSM Nexus 4.0.2... stayed on Google logo... time to update the kernel? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
This is a 4.0.1 boot.img no wonder it didnt boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GchildT:
Is there a 4.0.2 boot.img coming soon? I'm using MoDaCo. I'd rather use one of yours!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
Let's ask him again after he gets his GNex tomorrow :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
Not sure if this is accurate or not, but I've been using AOKP lately and I was on their kernel for a little while during becoming accustomed to the ROM. I flashed the beta kernel "franco.Kernel-13122011-GN-OC-TEST-JRCU" and it all went downhill from there. Not having modified voltages or frequencies yet, I was talking to my girlfriend on Talk and all of a sudden it just cut out and died right out. I tried just turning it back on - Showed about 2 seconds of bootanimation and crashed out again. I had to sit it in fastboot for awhile and try 5 or 6 times to boot into recovery before it would. Trying to make an effort to isolate the issue as much as I can here but, I have a feeling the kernel caused it.

Edit: It's now sitting at bootloop, but it's crashing too early in the boot for adb to recognize it. Going to try fastboot flashing a kernel/boot img.

Edit2: It's a hard kernel crash as far as I'm aware, I've not seen anything like it besides when my kernel's gone bad. See attached log.

Resolution: Can't say what it was. I formatted everything and reflashed AOKP and it worked. Gonna see if it happens again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
My Galaxy Nexus just arrived. Nothing could be done without ALL of you. I promise I won't let you down. Here is a pic of me holding the phone...I had woken up few minutes before that photo so my face is a little dull :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmicho:
Congrats young man. Well deserved! Looking forward for this great kernel you will build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
Will you be concentrating on 4.0.1 kernels or both inc 4.0.2?

Forgot to say congratulations on finally getting the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
My focus will be towards the newer builds, as of now, 4.0.2. I'm going to try and make anyKernel to work so that flashing kernels will be independant of the ramdisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schrickm5:
Fantastic! Looking forward to the next few months!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
Very good man, I am very happy to hear that.

Glad I could contribute.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
Nice time too play :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
I flashed to ICL53F last night and monitored battery drain overnight, they seem to have improved the drain signifigantly. I showed only 1/3 the draw during deep sleep as 4.0.1.

Lost only 2% overnight! Performance however just isn't as snappy as your kernel :(!!

Have fun with the new toy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GchildT:
Finally! Congrats man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicandris:
i can confirm this also and this is good news. 8 hours, wifi on, 3g on, autosync on, screen off, lost abt 8-9%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
I hope you can get something going on 4.0.2 the battery may be better but its REALLY laggy.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
This is whats going to happen in the next days/week: I am going to give an Android Kernel presentation up in the north of Portugal tomorrow morning and I have two university projects to deliver, one Distributed Aplications and the other Object Oriented Programming, this last one to be delivered next Wednesday, so until there in my spare time I'll work on local builds and after that I'll start rolling kernel nightlies everyday. Earlier than Wednesday its impossible and I'm already sleeping 3/4 hours a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hkoutso:
Francisco loved your Nexus S kernels and now love it that you are on the Galaxy Nexus development too :) I am currently on your 12dec kernel and its super!

Great work man!

Greetings from Greece ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hasnol143:
I was wondering if you set min at 350 and max at 1200, does it cause an increase in battery consumption than say 700 and 1200? Because youve added more steps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
steps don't matter. 700 will obviously be more power hungry than 350 as min. remember that cpu spends the majority of time on the lowest slot. However 700 will not be so bad on battery since the phone can "race to idle" faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yep 100% true :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flolep:
To have an even better lowest frequency, why not putting back 400mhz frequency instead of 350?

I remember one of your release with that frequency and the impact on smoothness was REALLY negligible. I don't know why but that only 50mhz difference was doing a lot of difference in smoothness compared to 350mhz which has always been a bit laggy for me. That is why I use 700mhz at minimum for now.

But I feel like we could have some more battery with the lowest slot fixed between 350 and 700 without sacrificing too much smoothness. It is even more true with the current gpu oc. And it will "race" to deep idle more quickly than 350 but won't be as "power hungry" as 700...

Thanks Francisco for all your work. Your application is really really good and your kernel is just perfect for our GN.

Take care.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I've lost 16% battery in 7h. Thank you franco. Only 25 min screen time but I'm still impressed. And I finally got 3h screen time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
There's a problem with 400 instead of 350, the device starts using 200mhz without it being in the frequency table, which is rather odd. Let's leave the CPU frequencies experiences to the nightlies after Milestone 2 :)

By the way guys Live GPU is working on my local build! As soon as I clean this up and add support for it in the app you'll get a taste of it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XAviierG:
Franco buddy ! So I just installed your 66 on gummynex and with your app I adjusted the volume but no increase. But on AOKP it get boosted. Is it because GummyNex comes installed with DSPmanager?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Maybe, I don't have that rom so I can't answer with certainty :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hasnol143:
Im loving this fast charge! Its soooo good. I just hope its not hurting my battery :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XAviierG:
Hmm dang. I'm getting better battery on Gummy than AOKP and wanted the boost :( I'll ask Kejar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] revolt1:
hum mm milestone 2 huh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nightly r79 is ready for download:

* Live GPU added - now you'll be able to change the GPU frequency on the fly with 3 presets: 307, 384 and 512 mhz with this command:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/live_gpu/gpu_performance

Replace 0 with 1 for 384 and 2 for 512.

* Ondemand up_threshold changed from 60 to 80 for some extra battery juice

* 700min on boot removed to give the users more freedom

App also updater to 3.5:

* Added GPU overclock interface with the possibility to have it load on boot as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hasnol143:
Thanks franco!

Just wondering, r66 was set to 512 right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yep. Now its 307 by default for maximum compatibility with the ability for GPU overclock on the fly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exostenza:
Does your application require your kernel to be installed first? I upgraded to AOKP M4 a few days ago and finally got around to flash your kernel on and the program just force closes when ever I open it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timafey:
Hey, after the app update i keep getting FC when opening it. Not sure why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yeah I forgot something. If you flash the new nightly the app will work. Fix incoming in a sec.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrMikeSv:
+1

I'm getting FC everytime too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Where's the option for live gpu? Not seeing it after flashing the new nightly lol

Edit: didn't update the app...derp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
So what exactly is GPU? Is it just the graphics, and the higher you have it the smoother your transitions will be basically? And how is it in battery life with the highest vs lowest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
GPU is your graphics processing unit. I'm not sure if I miss you transitions smoother but the only way to test battery life is to test it out yourself :p set mine back down for now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
With r79 and gpu oc at 512mhz, it seems subjectively slower than r66.

Might be related to the up threshold being changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Thanks for the response, Is 307 stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/live_gpu/gpu_performance

Replace 0 with 1 for 384 and 2 for 512.

So 0 means 307 => stock value.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Idk if you meant that in a sarcastic, **** way or if you wanted to help. Either way, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Is anyone changing their sampling rate? N79
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Same here. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app with no success.... just an fyi:)

Su asked for permission twice, and then fc'd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
From the changelogs you'll see that the up_treshold changed from 60 to 80 so our phone with wait a bit more to change the CPU freq. This would be one good reason for a really slightly loss of performance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
3.5.1 was available for download few minutes after that FC version. Get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deltatyger:
I got the latest app but it still FC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Sorry Franco, I'm still getting the fc. I've tried wiping cache within app and still no luck....

Just a sec plz, my GN decided not to boot, good timing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Haha, technology is awesome, eh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deltatyger:
Nevermind, I manually flashed 79 and the app works now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes with the new nightly it worked lol

3.5.2 is out there, should be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
That worked, thank-you! :):):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
I could hit 4 hours of screen on time...a first for me :D 1350/700 on demand with 512gpu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clefster:
Hmm nope.. I'm still running nightly 66 and I can't open the app (updated to 3.5.2).

Have done a crash report.. hope it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Disregard please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Try manually downloading 79. That worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clefster:
Yeah, just trying to help Franco fix the app though.. it should work with older nightlies (I believe).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
If you close it then open again does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Good stuff. I read that the gpu over clock only worked with 79. Maybe there was other stuff that didn't align properly... its amazing how fast Franco responds to the thread posts!

Thanks for all the attention and hard work Franco! Cheers!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
3.5.3 uploaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clefster:
Sorry still fc.. have done another crash report
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ondrej.svec:
Still getting forceclose on 3.5.3, my kernel version is r66.

Force close seems to happen when requesting root permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kid1da:
I got force closes on r66, I updated to r79 and the app worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
3.5.4 is up try plz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellaryt:
3.5.3 got FCs with r66.

But works with r79.

Clicking on the colour multipliers option gives me an fc.

Latest on market is 3.5.3

Strange as the market says there is an update but when I click on it all I get is open and uninstall. No option to update it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellaryt:
Did you change the version 3.5.3 to 3.5.4?

Google show me that have an update,but still open button not update.

And I unistall and download,still 3.5.3.

3.5.3 is working so I have no idea if it updated to 3.5.4 already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nailbomb3:
Anyone noticed choppy outgoing call audio on the last couple nightlies?

I left a voicemail for a friend yesterday and it was pretty garbled apparently. No probs hearing anything on MY end. Made a call today and same deal. They were having a hell of a time hearing me but I could hear them just fine.

At first I thought the culprit was radio's so I flashed back to 4.0.2 (phone is a Toro so CDMA) and still the same deal.

Then I flashed my kernel back to M1 and the problem seems to be gone. If I dial 511 for Road and Travel the voice recognition is working again. It wasn't on r79 and the release before that.

Franco?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
On demand up threshold seems to be defaulted at 98.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
@dwang Really? Lemme check. Yup, thanks for noticing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
r66. App updated to 3.5.4:

"Unfortunately, franco.Kernel Updater has stopped"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I found the issue, just testing it.

Ok 3.5.5 should REALLY take care of that, I flashed r66 and I fot no FC. Enjoy peeps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Np

How about adding the ability to change some of those values within the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Thanks! Waiting for update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I can do anything, just need time for that :) and wow it's 7am, this has been a fun night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Geez Franco, I hope you have a day off like I do tomorrow! Thanks again:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
During the week I'm 100% on Android, so yes I have the day "off" tomorrow :)

Franco you're updates are amazing. Thanks so much for all the work.

Any one using this kernel that doesn't purchase the Franco app from the market place go and buy it now.it's one of my most used apps and makes everything so much easier.

Again thanks!

Get this app!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
One little feature request for the app if I may :)

It would be nice to see a progress bar for the downloads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
+1

Yes. It's a really must-have app!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khenderick:
If a feature request for the app is possible; When using the nightlies, I can auto-download-and-flash them, but they wont be stored permanently on the sd-card (or I can't find them). In case one nightly is giving troubles, I won't be able to flash an older one, since I don't have it on the sd-card. Unless I manually download them, but that defeates the auto-flash button right?

> I'd like to configure a nightlies download location, and the auto-download-and-flash would download the latest nightly, put it at the right spot and flash it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
ondemand is default (has been since M1).

Your phone just can't handle the GPU OC it seems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theviruz:
will be patch the kernel to the latest kernel sources? 3.0.23 or somethink... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
wasn't #19 gpu oced to 512? My nexus handled it without issues, running for weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I use "ondemand"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Craiq:
Hi

iam on Foxhound 0.2 (4.04)

when i flash r85 my system wont boot. It stops in the first animation.

r79 runs without problems as i remember, but will check it again now

edit: r79 also make problems. maybe i can check if its a rom problem

edit: reflashed "shipped" kernel and everything works - so its a kernel problem i would say

edit: with clean rom and kernel from start it works for first boot ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
I've been running the overclocked GPU for a while now, but just updated the kernel and can't notice a difference with stock! Need to check battery life.

Franco, excellent work. For once I'm glad I've bought an app for a kernel - it's useful and you actually add features as fast as anything. Thanks for the great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubino90:
sorry maybe later reflash kernel franco but when i flash version 66 nightly the phone boot but with my cm9 i have glitch screen the last version works good? ps i have buy the app franco and if possible i would use thanks:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
Download latest nightly through app (#85), and then make sure the GPU overclock is set to 307MHz (it should be default).

That should fix it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atsavlis:
Im running the same ROM as you with absolutely no problems.... I would do a clean install of the rom and kernel from start...
