Guys!

Why cpu settings doesnt save??

I set max cpu to 729, I select the governor, I check set cpu on boot etc.

But after restart, max cpu is different (I set to 729 and after restart it's1036!).

Same with governor. I select conservative and after restart - lazy.

No patterns at all. Seems it works randomly. Any ideas?

Latest franco updater and latest nightly. But the same is with all previous versions.

Maybe nstools which comes with Slim ICS is guilty?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
After this discussion about SD card stuff and gta3 in particular and why it wouldn't work for me. It took me literally hours to delete app and SD/android/data/rockstar.gta3 and download and reinstall the app and data again using 106 kbps **** old UK sky wifi. Kept stop responding and got me sweating it was pissing me off so much lol

Any way, came by to say M4 before 176 is a great idea as 175 has been great again for me today and also wood like to see this modified SD binary thing implemented through the Franco kernel app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Great to hear that wheatly is to be implemented. :)

IMO r176 then M4. But whatever's going.

Good news on Ezekeel involved to. Pretty much the 2 best kernels available in my opinion. If they melded together, which I know they wont literally but the idea of it in any case is great.

Good work Franco. :)

After a little bit of playing here's the best way to handle GTA3:

Before installing the kernel:

1) Go into TitaniumBackup

2) Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Backup app external data -> Enabled (Always)

3) Go to the backup/restore tab and make a backup of GTA3

4) Install the kernel via CWM

5) Boot back up into ICS and uninstall GTA3

6) Install GTA3 from the Play store

7) Open GTA3 and then hit decline at the license agreement

8) Open TitaniumBackup and restore your backup of GTA3 (Data only)

9) Enjoy GTA3 without having to redownload 400 MB of files and without losing your game saves :D

If you don't have titaniumbackup then just renaming the folder [/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3] would probably work - I'll have another play later

Personally I found a lot of games fails to load because of that sdcard mod, especially EA games.

Someone mentioned the kernel source being dated. Couple of thoughts on that: First, software is dated in 30 - 60 days nowadays so it's really all dated. Second, it got me thinking and I decided to Google the latest linux kernel for Android and it appears the newest is in the 3.3... family. Just curious how quick development picks up on the "latest and greatest" source. I'm sure there are a ton of variables. What makes a dev want to develop on 3.0... vs 3...whatever? Just a curious question from an ignorant end user. BTW - all of Franco's stuff runs great. It is my go to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
The latest stable version of the linux kernel is 3.3.7. The latest Android kernel however is - I think- 3.0.3x. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Now, while I do like to have the latest software on my computer and smartphone, I have to admit with you that in this case it doesn't have to be, because it is already running great. In addition, when Franco updated the source to .0.24 or .28 I think battery life was horrible, if I remember his own post correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I'm sticking to Google's OMAP4 releases. If they decide to release the next Android update for the Galaxy Nexus with an updated kernel base then I'll follow them. While they do that I'm sticking to 3.0.8 to avoid conflicts or misbehaviors. If I see some nice commits on any 3.0.y release I'll just pick them up individually. Other than that we're not going to move from 3.0.8 unless Google does so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theneighbor:
Ah perfect answer. That is sort of what I thought. Makes perfect sense to development on the source that Google uses since we know it works :) Thanks Franco, keep up the good work. Can't wait for M4. Take your time my friend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfic:
What people forget is that our source is not identical to mainline 3.0.8.

Some functions are just stubs.

So patching it up requires fixing, and "it compiles" != "works as intended"

So if you prefer Franco spends his time on making sure he has latest mainline code instead of rocking your world, sure, demand latest 3.0.x

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Yes. I'm using power saver mode. I will disable it now. Let's see if it helps..

EDIT: so, after setting power mode to none, I changed max cpu to 729. I marked set cpu on boot and set power mode on boot. After restart max cpu is 1036 again :)

Something is wrong here.

Btw, I've seen people reporting that set cpu or power mode on boot settings doesn't save. I'm experiencing the same. I mark the checkbox and go to other tab. I come back to that tab and I see my set cpu settings on boot box unchecked.

Mqybe it should work this way.. no ideas.

4.9.1:

* Galaxy Nexus

- Re-work color multipliers code to make them (finally) work on reboot using the PreferencesManager

- Add Voltage widget to apply the saved voltages with a single tap - specially useful if you reboot a lot which saves you a lot of time going to the app voltages panel

* HTC One X

- Re-worked the CPU panel core to override NVIDIAs control over the cores/maximum number of cores

* Common

- This little changelog window will appear the first time the app is launched after an update

I'm setting it to none. But still after restart something changes min max values.

Even if I check the chekmark to set power or cpu mode on boot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Do I understand correctly that undervolting does not work after restart and you need to apply each time?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krex:
Thanks for making it clear, but I think it is still doubtful, because it sounds as it takes more than it gives.

Because it can't bring more in benchmarks, in ordinary days it spends its days to fill errors the log, and the only one situation when it has advantage is a game (high cpu and sd using) but the most popular games fail with it.

Maybe sparing battery could be the last chance, and ok, it is subjective, but I use the kernel without this binary since r160 and I don't feel or experience its yield or its lack.

But this configuration is good, I can delete it and who want to use they can as well.

According to bbs, there was two things keeping my phone awake today, never letting it go into deep sleep. They were "vbus-tuna_org" and "PowerManagementServices"

how to i create a log when the app crashes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
How to reset all the settings to their default values?

Clear the Franco updater data (aka reinstall the app) and flash ROM from CWM recovery?

How Franco Updater now what settings are used? App gets settings from Kernel? Or App stores the settings somewhere on a file system (app data area)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
My first boot after update all my color multipliers got set to 431. I reset them and all is fine just noting a small bug. So if your screen turns on with a weird red hue just fix your multipliers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Same here.

I was afraid my screen was broken. Restarted my phone couple of times.

Franco, fix the colors in your app. After the update half of the Nexus users will go crazy!!! :D

Franco Updater FEATURE REQUEST

I think some settings dependencies must be introduced.

For instance:

- if you Power Mode other than "None" is selected - you shouldn't be able to set CPU min/max frequency.

- you shouldn't be able to undervolt if smartflex is not disabled (I'm not sure if it's right; it's just an example).

- and many other dependencies.

I ran in so much restarts and exploring because of those missing dependencies.

Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
Just had some issues after updating the app, upon start my phone would have an extremely dim screen. Brightness can be set to max and can barely make anything out.

Running nightly kernel at 384mhz.

Had to re flash rom, using stock kernel now. I've never adjusted any of the Franco app settings apart from the OC settings.

Scary
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakjebakmeel:
Same problem.

AOKP b37 and b38 full wipe and clean install. As soon as the new Franco App installs the screen goes unuseably dim.

Flashing GlaDOS does not fix, full wipe is required. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Guys,

@pakjebakmeel, @Saintfyre

and others.

You don't need to reflash!!!

Just go to Color Settings and change Color Multiplier values to default (or recommeded R,G,B = 180,192,200).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
Update killed my phone and only a data wipe plus restore of older version fixed it. I could not even access any of my apps they just kept force closing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
Updating the kernel or the app? If you were updating the kernel, from which version are you updating? Which ROM are you running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
Updating the app on AOKP b38. It worked fine before that, then after that all of my installed apps would force close along with launcher and TiBu. I also got the dim screen issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
The gaming issue is tricky - the reason certain games don't work is because of poor development practices followed by the developers of those games. Certain games (eg. GTA3) reference files in a case insensitive manner, eg the file stored on the sdcard may be called "Intro.mov" but the code may reference it as "intro.mov". With the standard sdcard set up, the file structure on the sdcard can be referenced without care to match the case, so you can load "intro.mov" even if it's actually called "Intro.mov". The modified sdcard binary changes the way the sdcard file system is presented and makes it case sensitive. This means that GTA3 is now no longer able to load "intro.mov" because no files match that name and case. The workaround for this was to create a virtual fat image and mount it in place of the GTA3 data folder. The FAT filesystem is case insensitive so data stored in that particular folder can be referenced by applications without matching the case of the filename, which means GTA3 works again.

The downside of this mechanism is that it requires allocation of a fixed amount of data for the virtual FAT filesystem, in the case of the original sdwatcher code it was 640 MB although iirc the sdcard binary included with franco's kernel allocates a 1GB image file. This means that although GTA3 may only store 400 MB of data in the FAT filesystem, it will still take up 1GB of space resulting in a loss of 600 MB of storage space.

You could implement the same fat filesystem for every game that has a problem, but due to the overhead space allocation you'll end up running out of space.

An alternative would be to implement a single, larger fat filesystem for all the data stored in /sdcard/Android/data. This would decrease the overhead for people who have lots of games installed, but result in a huge overhead for people that only have 1 game installed.

The most efficient fix would be for the EA developers to code their apps properly, but that's unlikely to happen. If you don't play games and therefore don't run into these problems (like me), the modified sdcard binary is a great thing to have. If you play a lot of games then it probably is more trouble than it's worth.

I don't know if, perhaps, a dynamic virtual FAT filesystem could be developed, where space is allocated and unallocated as it is required.

Note: I'm only an amateur and this might not all be correct - but the general gist is right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tcchuin:
Guess the sd binary is the thing caused me to have download and Download folder. :-\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
Yep that would do it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigeyes0x0:
I don't see why EA has to change their programming practice considering every sdcard out there supposedly run on FAT32, and FAT32 is a case insensitive file system. Running your sdcard like that is just a way to ask for troubles, IMO. Still I agree power users should be able to choose to do it, as they should know the consequences, just not every user, even here, is power user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
It's just good programming to reference your files in the same case that you name them. When programming you should aim to make your applications as portable as possible, and just taking care of little things such as this help to ensure that goal is reached.

The galaxy nexus isn't the only phone not to have an sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] splus:
I restarted my phone and then when home screen was loading screen would go black. I was out so I couldn't do anything, restarting phone several times. I though I'll have to reflash everything. Only when I got in a darker place I noticed that the screen wasn't black but extremely dim. Luckily I remembered I updated Franco updater app and that it said something about color multipliers, so I managed somehow to navigate into the app with almost black screen and the moment I touched the color sliders they everything appeared on screen. Btw, color sliders had values of 431 or something like that, even though max values are 400.

Whew, this got me worried, had my phone offline for a few hours.

Hopefully not many people update to this version of app! And if you already did then you better don't reboot your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
If you have already changed your colour multipliers, or you change the colour multipliers after updating the app but before rebooting, upon reboot the colour multipliers maintain their current setting. However if you have never touched the colour multipliers and then update the app and reboot, the multipliers appear to default to 431 and the screen goes dim.

Set your colour multipliers before updating! (Alternatively don't update and wait for the next one)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adan.Mejia3:

Portable to where TBH. If you do know any other platforms that can run these kind of games with java, then do tell me, I admit that if they use NDK for loading the movies then it's another matter. Managing a project is not just about good code, it's also about meeting deadline with acceptable quality between teams that can be apart physically. You can't expect them to expect their code won't run on ext4 with a hack on these Nexuses did. I manage and code projects as well, so I do know consequences of these choices.

Back to the problem, my whole point is hack like this should be applied by user by their own free will with knowledge of consequences. The way they got applied in with franco's kernel is kinda "sneaky". I nearly lasted out at EA because I bought the damn game and now it doesn't work on my phone. It took me 1 month to realize what the heck that sdcard binary is for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] splus:
I did change my color multipliers before the app update and had a black screen.

I think you'll be OK only if you change your color multipliers after the update but before reboot.

Is there any way to avoid the datadrops? I'm getting them every day. I'm on AOKP B37 and they happen with the stock kernel and Franco B175.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Byte:
M3 -> 175 upgrade glitch

I installed 175 over M3 via CWM, and on reboot the screen was VERY dim with a distinct purple tinge to it.

I managed to fumble my way through the menus to manual brightness, set it to max, and then struggled to the FK app in the App manager, force-stopped it and cleared data.

It came up A-OK on the next boot, and strangely enough autobrightness was back on. 30 seconds of tweaks to FK later, I'm back to normal operation again. I guess I'm just lucky it's night here and I had a dark corner to work in!

FYI

Edit: I should note that I have never changed any of the colour or gamma settings; Stock Yakju 4.0.4 ROM apart from the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daddymatt:
Running aokp 38 with Franco 175 plus the new app... everything is perfect. No "green screen" no "dim screen".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daddymatt:
I of course clean installed everything....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
I did this also and my screen became green also, what you need to do is on the ColorControl tab in the app, instead of click Red Blue or Green, click 'Colors Multipliers' make the changes there, a window with slider bars for Red Blue and Green should show up.

Then the values can be set to 180,192,200 and it looks just fine, set all the original color settings back to 0 that caused it to go green.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rogersnm:
If you know the filename I fail to see the marginal time cost of holding down the shift key occasionally whilst typing it in. Given that the vast majority of applications on the play store, including those written by amateurs, have no problem with this modification I fail to see why large corporations can't maintain the same standard of code. Applications such as GTA are installed on a variety of devices and processors and who's to say that future versions of android won't implement ext4 filesystems on the (virtual) SD card - it is a much more efficient mechanism than the current official implementation.

That said I completely agree about giving users the choice given that it breaks stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P3aK:
Ohh, ohh, me likes the new background on the widget(s).

I can confim the screen problem. Got the Colors Multiplier settings all screwed up. Never ever touched any screen settings on this device before.

Setting them all back to 200 worked for me as well.

Hi there,

I was wondering if their would be any change of you putting Touchwake into your kernel? That would really make this kernel complete.

Thanks for your hard work, the kernel is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Get the GetRIL program from the market. Run that and make sure everything is fine. If that does not resolve the problem I'd suggest you try another kernel to see if it exhibits the same problem. I seriously doubt he is going to tinker anymore with the kernel about this issue. I too was having data drops with 175 and I just got overly frustrated and installed Trinity since I purchased it a while back too and so far with latest Trinity I have not had a single drop and every time I look at my bars they are blue. I've tried everything from looking at logcats to modifying my APN information and splitting it up into multiple entries. Switching my wifi at home to 5Ghz band. Nothing seems to work to resolve it completely.

EDIT: Not entirely true, after a long sleep the bars are gray but they go solid blue within a few seconds (yaaa). I don't know what this gray crap is really from logs it looks like it cannot sign onto the network (gives some stupid error), it pisses me off because I wonder while my phone sleeps if mail or anything is getting checked. Every time it comes back and I check mail manually I got mail. I am just going to try every kernel until one works, then I'm sticking with it. So far Trinity and GLAdos looks good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stricly:
Sorry for asking but what are data drops anyways. I'm on liquid smooth recently and being somewhat of a noop with this kernel.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigeyes0x0:
The problem is sometimes you actually don't about these minor details, and sometimes programmer just forgets a shift. It's normal. And it's normal to not to fix bugs if they pass black box testing checklist. Should I add another check to that list to check for ppl with a hack on their phones like this. Sure as hell no. When it's time there're actually phones with ext4 sdcard, the problem will rear it head in black box testing and surely be fixed. Those games in the middle of this transition will either be fixed or left to die depends on publisher/studio's whim (cost/benefits/reputation).

I don't have experience with EA but I do have with Gameloft, they take in a lot of just graduated students to work on projects for cheap and laid a lot of them off at the end of a project, or hiring people for a project only. Do you expect good quality then? It sucks for consumers, sucks for those that get laid off, but generally good for the company bottom line.

Amateur apps from newcomer to veteran programmers are different. They work on them with care, they're typical OCD and they don't need to meet deadline generally. You can say those apps are their brain children. It is obvious that the amount of dedication and love one put into these are different than project you work on to meet deadline and for salary only.

We do agree on something here :D.

one question - yes afaik there are still about 400mb being unused in the virtual FAT system (namely com.rockstar.gra3.img), would you think it is a good idea / safe move to put some of my files (just some document or old photos/videos) in (directly speaking) /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/myownfolder so that they can use up the 400mb "wasted" internal storage? :) (assume that i will never uninstall GTA3 the app so the com.rockstar.gta3 folder wont get deleted automatically)
