At his first post Franco says that signal dropping and kernel have no correlation. Well how comes that I have none since I flashed M3? Chapeau man! :-)

hi all

i'm using the nightly 158 build and have some results

tell, dat's good?

hotplug is on

undervolt on screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
Oh thank you! I was actually gona wipe everything to maek sure. But i'll do it in the morning. Makes me less paranoid that its all the crack flashing.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes it's my derp, I thought I was fixing something but actually I borked it. Will fix it later, going to get some sun (not that I'm any snow-white, but sun is sun) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
Algoods. I'll wake up hopefully to see a update notification/dream about it lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krex:
hi,

do we need still to have the hacked sdcard binary by DebauchedSloth? It pushes error messages into the log continuously... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes I do. Dont worry about it.

It's amazing but give us screenshots please. And btw your google services sync, wifi, data, 3G/H+ etc. were ON?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moz007:
What's your settings ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes I missed it. Because CIFS is barely used on my user base and it has a few problems is it's misused. All in all, if you want CIFS you have to recompile the kernel yourself :) the config is in /proc/config.gz.

Yep, idle time is that amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
Well its kinda hard to screenshot that you know?

I was on Wi-Fi and I have two Google accounts that sync Gmail. Other than that no syncs. I did get some drunk dials and texts from my girlfriend which woke the phone up too during that period making it even more impressive.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Just interesting to look it.

The best last result I had with r158 was 0,4% ( an average) per hour during about 6 hours sleep. Wifi is always on, 2g/3g/H+, 2 gmail accounts with full sync, 1 imap (every hour), gReader etc. I think I had a good result but yours simply amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Blind test build linked on my G+ profile. Dont bother asking me for changelog, I wont give it up because I need unbiased reports.

I wont be online for the next hours, going to the beach, so have fun with r999, it has cookies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Probably new M is coming soon?) Would interesting to test this new one)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klauhr:
I think the cookie is the new lazy govenor. Just testing it ;)

I could be wrong but never saw this govenor before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
Where is r999?

Edit , sorry i didnt see the rest of comment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas4ever:
No. Lazy gov is quite old ;)

Faster and lagfree scrolling on this new testing kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klauhr:
Okay i missed it thoug there are only:

hotplug,onteractive,conservative,ondemand,performance

okay then there must another cookie :P

you are right looked into the changelog, never noticed it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
I dont see a cookie governor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klauhr:
who says there is a cookie govenor?

i was wrong and though the lazy govenor is new but it is from r140
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas4ever:
Franco said there r some cookies in this kernel not cookie gov ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
i realise that now, thanks.

i am an idiot haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Would be interesting to see what a cookie governor would be like, haha. ;D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas4ever:
Falling cookiez from everywhere on screen on...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ch33kybutt:
The cakecookie is a lie?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diggmc:
What an awesome joke that would be... Take the one of the governors and rename it to cookie and then release it and watch the forums go nuts with people claiming better battery life on it... :-D

Sorry just my evil side showing

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tcchuin:
i dont think that the r999( or the test) has much changes, no noticable difference to me=x

just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krex:
ok, you do, but I see #999 doesn't... :) thanks for trial.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bswpt:
unfortunately it's not my knowledge to compile... but thanks answering anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Feedback on r999:

A little snappier when opening apps, there was a half seconds delay when pressing apply values for undervolting in your app on 158, not on 999.

Faster rendering of web pages and smoother scrolling through large web pages.

Overall nice and smooth.

More feedback after I use it for longer (only running it about 2 hours)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
Could anyone tell me the fast boot command to flash the test kernel?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krex:
After some testing/using #999:

If it has 384Mhz as the info describes, it brings the same scores in benchmarks as 512 did! But the CPU scores are higher, and so I got higher total score in antutu than with 1,3Ghz+512GPU. Super!

It doesn't use hacked sdcard binary, but that if it has any impact on battery, it needs more time to test. Anyway I haven't felt any disadvantage of this so far.

And subjective feelings: smooth, no lag, it seems cooler or it cools down faster. No heat issue. No errors in log.

Since I had no luck with newer nightlies from r154, therefore I think I will keep this with permanent flash. :)

Only one thing: Quadrant crashed once. I have never seen Quadrant to crash, so I will test it more yet.

Thanks for this nice (r)evolution Franco.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
Just flash this zip in recovery:

http://db.tt/0y27u4p6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Fastboot flash boot filename.img

So in this case its fastboot flash boot boot.img

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Or just learn fastboot.

it was posted as a .img and not a zip for a reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
Well it doesn't really matter to me. Same kernel either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
I think the point was that anyone who didn't know enough about fastboot etc. To be able to flash an image file couldn't be relied on for proper testing and it was aimed at a particular group of users.

I'm sure Francisco knows how to make a zip file and would have done so if he wanted everyone to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Exactly, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
not true. many people that cant or dont have access to fastboot will give better feedback than people that can fastboot but are clueless beyond that. for a long time, i didnt have a computer, so i couldnt fastboot. does that mean im unreliable, i think not. its a good thing that i know that i dont need fastboot because i know how to flash them via terminal emulator on the phone itself, do you? you should teach the other users and help franco out in this way instead of trying to make yourself look superior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gee2012:
Now thats the (positiv) spirit we need around here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
I never tried to imply that I was superior, I gave the command to flash it via fast boot in a previous post when asked. I think that if someone feels confident enough to try flash it by fastboot it means that they are comfortable enough with the workings of their phone.

But I don't think what you say about people that don't know anything about fastboot can be more useful is true.

I don't think its even close to true. If someone has no computer fair enough but other than that it shows a level of unfamiliarity with working with android and in turn not being a good indicator of any potential problems/gains with a new release.

Never once did I imply that I was superior though so you can come back down off that high horse of yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
I started playing around with the test kernel. Normally I run interactive, but started out with the default ondemand. I can feel the difference between interactive and ondemand, with interactive being somewhat more responsive. So I went back to interactive.

Nenamark gives the exact same score as 158/512

test kernel seems to run somewhat cooler when stressed (preliminary result at least). This may be a function of the lower clock on the gpu. Need to experiment more.

Was going to comment on the great battery life (was going UP. But then I noticed I happen to be charging at the moment :D )

I found one major problem though. USB (and probably wifi/bluetooth - although didn't test those) tether no longer works. When I run dhcpclient in order to get an IP address I get no response. So dhcp is broken in this kernel. Reverting to 158 fixes the problem.

Here's what dhcpclient returns with the test kernel:

Seriously? Why argue over the various ways of flashing a kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickoPulver:
Might so be but zips will be used by people that don't know enough . I know so because i have been following a lot of threads here and come to see that not all can understand what is finished or still under development....it's good to get feedback of things but when things go wrong and people start filling threads with help me and how do I fix this instead of feedback.....what good is that....trying new stuff and things under development myself I know I am myself to blame if something goes wrong.......and if for some small percent it should kill my phone it's still my own fault.......enough said about this for me now......And thanks for your great work and all the time you put into all of this Franco........

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Exactly, its about keeping the posts about the release clean and no help me please posts or the battery is way better after 5 mins of use posts.

That's all I was trying to say until someone got on their high horse and rode into battle!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
"anyone who didn't know enough about fastboot etc. To be able to flash an image file couldn't be relied on for proper testing"

again, this is not a true statement. some of the best feedback comes from people that dont know how to fastboot. feedback does not rely on knowing how to fastboot, feedback relies on your powers of observations. and knowing how to fastboot doesnt automatically mean that you are good at observation.

as many people as ive helped with android over the years, it seems as people that are familiar with tech/programming generally have a hard time with android while people that arent familiar with programming get it faster. just an observation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
For the record I do know how to use fastboot, just never used it to flash a kernel and did not know the proper command.

Lets forget about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
no arguing.. friendly debate.

but one thing is true, ive managed to sidetrack this thread. sorry about that Francisco :)

Why Franco's app Widgets not showing the correct cpu temperature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thank you for the information, it's very useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] houzuoguo:
I noticed these two minor bug with Franco's app:

"Power Mode" option in Settings tab will automatically change CPU max/min frequencies and governor, and the changes will NOT be reflected on OC/UV tab.

On OC/UV tab, max/min frequencies and governor often remember old settings (and often, the old settings are no longer current settings). Thus will not apply new settings because it thinks that the new settings are the same as old settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I'm aware of it, thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
I agree with learning and knowing fastboot but I want to flash while I'm sitting at my kids little league game! I'm a parent and don't see my laptop until 10pm if I'm lucky. Let's keep the old guys (35 :-)) in mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
R999 flies through webpages and threads.

Whatever you did is working for me.

Very nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
in a terminal emulator app(many free in the market) straight from your phone..

su(press enter)

flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img(press enter)

reboot(press enter)

replace the name boot.img with whatever the file name is.

put the file in the main file system in your sd storage. if you do leave it in your downloads folder in your sd storage then.. flash_image boot /sdcard/downloads/boot.img

most the time i flash away from my laptop, so the terminal emulator comes in handy, for flashing and many other things :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
So I did a little test on r158 to see the difference between Interactive and OnDemand. I wanted to see how much more time Interactive spent in the top slot vs ondemand.

For this test I used my CDMA GNex running Liquid 1.4RC, and used a minimum speed of 729mhz and a maximum speed of 1228mhz. I started at a full charge and for the first 50% of battery, I used OnDemand and for the second half of the battery, I used Interactive. For about 75% of the test I was on Wi-Fi, 25% I was on 3g(no 4g used at all).

As for what I was doing on the phone, I tried to keep it as mirrored as possible. Mostly I was sending texts, browsing Reddit, Wikipedia app, Tapatalk. No games or high intense activity for the most part. There was also a few phone calls totaling 8 minutes.

I apologize for forgetting to take screenshots, so I must type this out manually. These numbers were found from the CPU Spy app.

OnDemand

Interactive

So this is over a pretty long stretch, about 24 hours total phone up-time so each segment was over the course of 12 hours.

So only a 8 minute difference in top clock speed is pretty minimal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skdinesh:
Great battery on R158

I'm getting some good battery life on R158. I do however notice one strange thing.

1. My battery saver settings are 96 by default. So the battery charges up to 96.

2. I unplug and then leave the phone alone.

3. Over the next couple of hours instead of draining, the battery indicator shows a gain by a couple of % lets say to 98%. I noticed this happening a few times now when I happen to wake up in the middle of the night.

4. When I wake up after about 7 to 8 hours from my sleep and turn on the phone the battery has dropped back to 96% which would imply great battery drain if I hadn't woken up to realise that the battery stats had increased in the middle of the night.

Anyone knows why this may be happening? Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
What?! You are using 384mhz as max cpu frequency?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Lol just to mess around I tried it... I can't seem to make it lag bad at all. For some users I could see this being almost viable. 729 would probably still be a better Max.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
Wow what a difference ...I used the phone for about an hour and battery drops from 100% to 75% without the Franco kernel ,after flashing the kernel drops from 75% to 69% in 30 minutes is a huge improvement in my opinion and I've not play with oc/UV yet thanks Franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrispo:
This is screen on time? For screen off 6% still is quite much per half hour.

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zflash:
Indeed, i just tested my nexus and with Franco kernel and light flow, and i had about 7% in about 9 hours. It's with stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
All depends how much the guy uses his phone. I lose probably 6% if the screens on for 30 mins
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
What is the max. for the colorsettings without "destroy" my display ?

240 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmcsc:
Does this make any difference on the CPU speeds? (Please understand my question, I'm unsure I phrased it right xD)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
Was the drain due to something being taken out of the orig kernel? Sounded like it was constantly looking for something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I tuned some values in some of the governors yes. Just stick to the default ondemand.

I just used the default defconfig instead of what I had earlier and changed the absolute minimum, seemed to fix it.

I don't guarantee 1% drop for 10 hours with all that turned on, but the extra drain compared to stock seems fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aron7awol:
After some quick benchmarking, it appears that nightly #7 actually improved SD read speeds even more. I ran Antutu 3 times and got over 30 MB/sec SD read every time. Nice work!

I'm not seeking 1% over night ... but about 4% yes :) (4-5% was the drain on the 4.0.3 stock kernel). Anyway ... the smoothness of my phone with your kernel is something special. I have no idea how do you achieve something like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sefirosu0522:
