Knocking on wood but I have never had any issues at all with any of the kernels so far. Never had a problem with 15.1 and currently 15.2 is running great. Not sure what's going on but I've been on AOKP 20 with all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SolidHelix:
I thought the stock voltages we're decreased at factory. Mine are still standard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azndan2:
Thank you Franco. Love your kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nrgaway:
As per http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14685-kernel01-feb-glados-v18/page__view__findpost__p__436884

Do not use Custom Voltage for UV! The optimal voltages for each frequency state are determined automatically by Smartreflex Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS). The nominal voltages set with Custom Voltage are only the upper limit and used as a starting point for the calibration. Reducing the nominal voltages can cause the automatic calibration to fail and result in serious instablities.

Does this sound right? :)

Edit. If this kernel does support AVS (which it should by default if above statement is correct), then there is really no need to have UV with this kernel which would solve many noob problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phishie:
Was that really necessary? I hope you got some satisfaction out of that or something.

Anyways, I did search the thread but no one definitively says how to restore the stock animation, only how to delete Franco's (not a bad one Franco - all due respect).

So for those looking, attached is the stock boot animation for ICS.

I didn't have any luck moving it to the /data/local directory with Root Explorer so I moved it directly to /system/media.

Steps (using Root Explorere app):

1. Mount R/W the /system/media folder in Root Explorer (grey button in top right)

2. Rename or delete the existing bootanimation.zip file in that directory

3. Move the stock (attached) bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder

4. Change permissions of the stock bootanimation.zip to rw-r--r-- (read/write for owner, read only for group and others)

5. Re-mount /system/media R/O

6. Reboot

7. ???

8. Profit with stock animation again

It is working now- I think I messed up something with the ROM voltages settings....

resetet, flashed kernel and it is stable now :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
What? Am I missing anything from your question?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aron7awol:
I was wondering the same thing when I saw that the UV interface changed from imoseyon's version to Ezekeel's.

Franco, can you weigh in on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aquavalanche:
Hello Franco, i just want to ask about your kernel.. Is your kernel compatible with Android Revolution HD ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
May sound noobish,but truthfully,I really loved 7.1 for both performance and battery.that was when you didn't support UV. I really love the work you've put into 15.1,god knows the phone is freakishly fast at turtle 700/1000 but battery wise,somethings still off. Maybe that avs thing is good,after all? :D

So the old wifi drivers caused the internet connection to be 'stopped' when phone goes to deep sleep.

On #15.1 which has the new wifi drivers is doing fine for me since it doesn't stop the connection when the phone deep sleeps.

Not a complaint, just wanna point it out to those who have the same problem. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Is this normal for deep sleep?... I had music playing for about 6hrs and screen on for about 4-5, charged phone a little bit at one point
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littleasian:
i'd like to second whoever posted the idea about separating kernel releases into a "stable" version and an "experimental/beta" version. this would be great for those people who just want things to work without having to worry about what detrimental effects it might have on their phone.

Romanbb does this right now with his AOKP releases (ex. milestones vs beta) and its worked out great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
franco.Kernel updater app 3.0!!!

* Completely re-coded from scratch

* New layout

* Auto flash kernels using only a single button "Download kernel"

* Set on boot function of the UV interface was removed to prevent issues of non-booting devices caused by low voltages

* New boot animation option in the kernel settings

* Thanks dirk for the Fragment layout
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] detritu5:
The app settings was reset with this version.

I have to put on the hotplug enabled again.

I don´t rebember my color configuration... Can someone post it? Which one is the best?

Maybe franco can put a option in his app to make a backup because of the settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JcMalta:
Hi Franco,

Congrats on the the updater release!

I updated via the Market App and all seemed to go well - but unfortunately the latest updater would not run. Clicking on it's icon did nothing. I rebooted and the icon had disappeared from the page although it was still present in my application draw. Clicking this icon did nothing either.

I therefore de-installed and re-installed the app and all seems to be fine now.

Thanks again for all the great work you are doing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahsengah:
Hi Guys.

Thanks for this awesome kernel.

Before I install it, just want to double check something.

I am running Android Revolution HD, which is based on 4.0.2. Do I have to be on 4.0.3 to run this kernel or are they backwards compatible?

Thanks guys! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JcMalta:
You must be running a 4.0.3 Kernel !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Brent87:
The new layout is awesome, keep up the good work. Although i will miss the old undervolt screen from the previous version of the updater, and i never had a problem with the bootscreen i cant believe you recieved some hate mail over something as insignificant as that. Time to play around with some voltage levels :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wedz:
This kernel is only for 4.0.3 roms...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattsy:
Got a reboot with the new update-tool when trying to search for kernel update.. ill try the uninstall and install thing mentioned above...

Edit : Unistall and a Fresh install did the trick..

Edit2 : I like the nice ICS (tab-swipe) layout in the new app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
My phone doesn't like the new updater app (version 3). It constantly gives the "franco.Kernel Updater is not responding. Would you like to close it?" error message, when I go across the pages to look at the Changelog.

It also takes a couple of seconds to load up.

[EDIT]: Ditto above. An uninstall, reinstall of the updater app has done the trick. However, there is still a lag going into the Changelog page.

[EDIT2]: To speed up the Changelog page, why not download the recent changelog only when someone does a "Check for kernel update" and save it in cache, instead of downloading the info everytime?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
wow nice update to your app franco! so refined.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheami:
Does the hotplug option in the app work with any governor on any kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supersquishy:
After installing 15.2 with the new updater app my sdcard partition wouldn't mount any more (meaning all my personal data seemed to have gone. I noticed only because my ringtones suddenly had changed). Even after a reboot. I had to go back to CWM and flash 15.1. Sdcard is back now. I might try to manually flash 15.2 and see how that works out.

Thanks anyway. Great kernel otherwise.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apd:
Me too. This is a serious problem. Will try manual flashing now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Brent87:
Yup my phone wiped and i was all sorts of confused, seems like the sd card got a wipe, all apps still intact and i can still download market apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supersquishy:
Okay. A manual flash in CWM did the trick. Everything back to normal.

Maybe the new kernel update method messes with the mount points or something.

Run the following to see the custom norminal and smartreflex calibrated voltages:

Just spend some time play around with the voltages and I'm sure you'll find that the AVS calibrated results are already the best voltages.

My sdcard was also missing after update with the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hosmsdos:

The OC version works fine except that the overall scrolling lags a lot....back to the standard franco kernel version which is smooth like butter.

glitch

Hi franco,

just wanted to let you know that on my GN with your last kernel 10122011 (no OC) I still have the graphical glitch. happened after the night, when coming back from the lock screen. pressed power a couple of times and it fixed itself..

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Homer314:
Sorry for the stuped question guys, but how do you delete the

/system/lib/egl/libGlES_android.so

file ? I get read-only error by adb and i don't know the /system partition to delete it from recovery

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skdubg:
delete it with root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmesisca:
use root explorer to mount system as r/w partition, then delete the file.. or you could have a look at some posts back, there is instructions to do this manually as well.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
Hi there! Just wanted to report that I'm having graphical glitches with this kernel(coloured lines across the screen, screen goes on and off by itself), they go away after a battery pull,but only for a while. Other than that the kernel is awesome, keep up the good work ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Tested oc version for 40 mins and UV by 25 across all the cpu speeds. So far so good, no reboots or freezes and no graphical glitches for me. 1.4ghz still isn't as smooth as 1.2 but better than the last time I test on 4122011. Donation to follow when I'm paid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
For some strange reason, my Nexus seems to prefer stock kernels - flashing custom kernels lead to a 4%/hr drop in battery compared to 1%/hr, even when nothing is syncing and the screen is off.

As in the screenshot attached, towards the end, I tested flashing the stock rom with stock kernel, then Franco's kernel, alternating between these two every hour or so. What I get is a series of steps in the graph, and from the battery readings standby drain is noticeably heavier.

Anyone having the same experience?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdcdxw:
Hi, I use the 10/12 oc kernel. I have the same problem, when the phone is screen off without any syn or actives, the Android OS drain 21% battery in 5 hours. The average is 4% per hour. I remember that when I use a stock kernel, my phone only took 1% battery in a whole night with standby:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmesisca:
yeah my Android OS times are high as well with this kernel..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
What I find strange is that there's no awake blue bar in my battery graph (the slope right in the middle of the graph attached in my previous post, where I was asleep and wifi and 3G was off), yet the phone seems to consume more battery in standby compared to stock kernel. I'm using the non OC version btw.

Thanks for a great kernel nevertheless, I'm looking forward to what you can do once you have a Nexus in your hands ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoEnd:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I really have no idea, all my kernels are known for having a great battery life. I'll take a look as soon as I get the GN.

No idea about that, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Just had to flash back because of an odd heating/battery drain issue. In standby it lost 40% in an hour... and was really warm. I rebooted after it lost the first 20% same thing... once it got to 55% I restored back to stock and within 2 min my device was cool again. I have no idea why because never had that happen before but something was going on. Still no graphical issues tho....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
I have noticed this exact thing. Overnight my power dropped by 40%. I thought it was just me who had high power consumption but it would seem that it is a lot more of a problem than I thought.

Where can I find a very stock kernel to test tonight or can I just take the boot.img out of the official ROM (for comparison purposes)

EDIT: got a stock kernel for HD Rev ROM so will see how it goes with stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Mine is 1% at 15 minutes... dont know why the hell that phone drains so much battery in sleep mode...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
It doesn't if its on a stock kernal......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I need more explicit details. Oc or non oc, frequencies used, governor, voltages, if you're using cpu profiles etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
I was using your non oc kernel and oc kernel, both result in high battery usage. Especially the android os. Frequencies are as per the kernel min 350 - max 1200 on both. Voltages where 25mhz under what you set. No profiles used and setCPU used. Governor set at conservative as you recomended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apd:
Flashed 15.1 and rebooted - SD card was back again. flashed 15.2 and it's still there so the problem is with the app.

The other issue with the app is that I get a few 'not responding' errors with it. might it be better if it included status bars eg when downloading?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stesmi:
As previously said - yes it does.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
For anyone who actually was following my problem or wondered what caused it, I managed to track it down to Adobe Flash Player 11. It lags the browser like crazy on certain heavy sites. An uninstall fixes it immediately, and reinstalling it causes it to perform really crap. Just in case people experience the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lehoule:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lillypad_33:
Mine didn't fare so well.

I'm wondering if there is a particular setting that I need to figure out.

I didn't put it into airplane mode like I usually do, but I lost 9 percent in 9 hours.

Not too bad, but not as good as yours!

I was also on francoturtle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
just set it to "on demand" in browser settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
I already tried that but the site still lags. Without Adobe flash player all "flash" ads etc. load as pictures so it's smooth. With adobe flash player, they all play as flash animations totally bogging the phone down. I'm guessing most, if not all users are set to on demand by default.

Oh well! Thanks again. Won't be posting OT anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoKushan:
15.2 fixed the wifi issue I was having on 15.1 (and in fact seems to have made wifi a lot more stable than 15.0, which doesn't really make sense but there you go...). However, the nightly zip seems to have replaced the boot screen again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coleburns:
Hey Francisco

Not sure if this has been asked before, but i was wondering how long you realistically see yourself updating and working on this kernel for the Nexus?

I got your app around build 11 and update once in a while and i got to thinking that what happens when you get a new phone or simply get too busy at university? I am obviously asking for my own selfish reasons as i am a big fan of your work and hope you keep a vested interest for the foreseeable future

Please note that this has nothing to do with me purchasing your app, i am really just intrigued.

You do realize that you paid 1 or 2euros for the app, right? You go out on Friday night, and spend what, 50 euros?

I think just the one update is worth that, and we should be happy that Franco keeps doing what he does.

Lets not forget that normal professional SW engineering costs 20+ euro/hour.

Franco, keep up the good work, I've been a happy/paid user since 13 myself! We all appreciate what you're doing..

I'm sure at some point, the tweaking of kernels will bottom out as the device matures. There is only so much you can tweak.

The question is "what's franco planning to do in future releases?"

Good question. I've been supporting all the phones I've worked on before the GN for a good lengthy of time. The P500 is obsolete, so I've closed my case in there. The X5 and the Nexus S are still on the way. Obviously I had to make the GN my priority for the last two months because it had a lot to do, but I usually don't drop the support on my devices. University will be simple in the next semester, I'll just take the classes that I want and seem useful for me, so I'll still have plenty of time. That answers you? ;)

Why no one never reads? I explicitly say in the app that the .zip goes to /scard/Download.

I just received an email asking if I could offer something like a widget so people could turn off cpu1 during low load tasks like calling etc. At first my reaction was like "wtf I'm not gonna do that, why turn off cpu1 at all? aren't we using a dual core?" Then I stopped to think about it, maybe it could be an interesting idea to code a function in francoTurtle governor to turn off cpu1 if the cpu load is like below 20% or something, and as soon as it hits > 20% it is powered up again, all this during screen on. I'm not counting the latency for that action, but lets get to that later. I just wanted to hear some opinions on this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lillypad_33:
On screen off, or in airplane mode, assigning 1 cpu might be an unbelievable way to save some power.

How does the loading to the CPU work? Can you assign certain processes to 1 cpu and others to the other CPU.

Perhaps not turning completely off, but lowering the frequency to one and not the other or something...
