is there a way to get the updater app if I don't own a credit card to use with market? I would love to support franco + get my hands on that updater :)

*Note, Im not asking for someone to pm me a link where I could dl it for free, cuz that is not the righth way to show support!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
You can charge apps to your phone bill now, no credit card needed.

I know bought Francos Kernel Updater, so if I set the color + color multipliers, will they stay after reboot or not? because there is a little note(in francos kernel updater) that states it will not stay after reboot?!

So do I really have to write a init.d script, even if I bought the updater??

But I have to enable every boot?

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

I've compiled a version with CIFS. You can do it, as i made. Franco gives the source and the config now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renaud:
I remember hearing that somewhere :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renaud:
CIFS only allows you to mount cifs FS, nothing more. It is quite dangerous to do since if you mount something at home and forget to unmount it, what do you think will happen when you leave home? This does not forbid you to access cifs shares as long as they are not mounted or share your phone via cifs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I think thats farily how it works yes. I dont undervolt in a regular basis only if I see my device getting a little hot when playing games or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Exactly that will enable fast charge.

Like I said before everyone has a choice, either activate the options via sysfs terminal commands or get the app, I dont force one or another but everyone has that choice otherwise if I only gave the app option it would be extremely unethical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I think you said something very similar what a coincidence lol =p

They wont last on reboot at this moment, I wasnt 100% happy with the current implementation when I first designed it so having them last on reboot was the last of my concerns. I can safetly say that now I'm happy on how it is so having them last through reboots is the next incoming change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rene_r:
Thx for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrox1:
Is there anyway I can manually edit the dvfs files so as to lower the high setting?

Bearing in mind I don't know what I'm doing ;)

Would I have to go through each file, and would it then play up with other parts of the kernel?

If you are willing to run a few steps you can get your screen colors to stay set after reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chardd23:
can i use the app for other kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
What do ya think :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chardd23:
I have no idea whether the hotplug,sqlite and debugger on/off are kernel dependent or not
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Hotplug is only in this kernel as far as I know. The rest of the options work regardless of what kernel you're running. Color Control works on mine, Ezekeels and Imoseyons too if I remember correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
I don't see how this is dangerous?

If you leave home and you forget to un mount then you don't have access to the share anymore and the way it is currently configured the OS wastes battery trying to connect to an unresolvable host.

You can then just unmount.

It's just like on a laptop.

Really we can deal with this by removing support for this really nice feature or we can improve the feature. I personally would rather have spent time scripting or trying to develop an app that would unmount CIFS shares when the host or network is no longer resolvable. Or by modifying CIFS to not poll so regularly (or whatever was causing the battery drain)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norklo:
hmmmm

is it just me? I do not see the fast charge options in the settings....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khenderick:
Did you update the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Just encountered an anomaly regarding the max sound volume. Had it set on 13 as advised. Working perfectly listening to music via power amp, until I got an SMS. Then, with the notification the volume went back to normal state (not increased). Took a reboot to get the increased volume back. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norklo:
Good call. Thats something I didnt do.

Now I have problem saying that Franco app is not compatible with my device......

I guess its time to flash and format...... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maguire11:
Amazing. Franco's M1 and codename 1.4 has officially become my milestone setup. Gsm galaxy Nexus stock battery with zero wifi. Also I only charged to 97 and I lost 10 percent in the first hour after flashing this kernel. It sure held on though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
You have my sources and my config in /proc/config.gz you can recompile it with CIFS yourself just fine and hassle free =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
I just tried to use a USB Stick on my Nexus running MileStone 1 and it would not mount.

I am 99.9% sure it worked on an older franco.Kernel.

Anyone else tried this on Milestone 1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] korg22:
I have since contacted me franco kernel is a problem in connecting to an external sound system sound after a few s will I pause, restart, and then pauses. Does anyone same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aron7awol:
Is there any harm in bringing it back?

Edit: To be clear, I respect the work you've done to try to tweak the ondemand governor to improve battery life. Personally, I get amazing battery life using the interactive governor and I enjoy the performance of it. I have no desire to use a less aggressive governor. Your kernel is the best, it's just a shame I have to use a more conservative governor if I use it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
I get that too. Not with headphones though, only when connecting an external sound system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kin24173493:
found that if enabling the usb fast charge the computer can not recognize the mtp. so try to disable the fast charge then it may work again:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
I don't have that option turned on! And it is not MTP that I have the problem with, its while using a USB host cable and a USB pen drive!

I tried enabling and then disabling the option anyway but it made no difference!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Try to set the volume hack level to 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
That did the trick! Thanks Francisco! :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Wow! can you tell me your performance settings? All the voltage tweaks you set and all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
Hey Francisco,

Did you get a chance to look at AlsaMixer and how "Headset Power Mode" and "TLW6040 Power Mode" relate to your kernel? As I said, headset power mode makes a difference where TLW6040 doesn't. I also dont see a difference in your kernel app's toggle for high performance mode :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I downloaded the application but I'll be honest, I didn't understand how it works and what values I need to give it to change the headset power mode to "high_performance".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] W3BSurfer:
I have been testing the phone and settled with this kernel. It has been amazing so far. From browsing the web, occasional game play, wifi/data on and off, call out/in, rss feeds refresh, txting in/out, facebook, email check, set alarm. I have not charge it since.

Oh yea, last nite I was streaming via wifi a 720p/1080p mkv video from my NAS box. This phone blew me away. It actually played the movie using BS player (H/W) & Skifta app for DLNA. 300 on 720p mkv and Kick-Ass on 1080p mkv. The movie was smooth. Occasional hiccups when fast/rewind due to buffering but was able to compensate right away. I tried the same for my Motorola Atrix but alas, it struggled and worse experience ever.

Thanks franco! Keep up the good work. :D

Here are some screens:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
franco what do you think about adding an option in your app to disable the volume hack completely? I for one don't have any use for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bballs91:
Hey I'm having some trouble with audio. Sometimes it randomly switches back and forth between the headphones and loudspeaker.

Could this have something to do with the new audio hacks/improvements? I'm on the newest milestone and bought the franco.Kernel updater app fyi.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Notn4:
you sure about that? I mean, I'm outside of US or UK, is that still possible with every carrier in the world?? atleast when trying to buy the kernel updater it just asked for card number...

I think the app is available on AndroidPit as an alternative (I think they let you purchase it without a credit card? )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wedz:
Actually, I think the problem might be in the way Linux handles file systems. By default, Linux uses free memory available to use as file transfer buffer/cache, and only syncs to drive when necessary. Thus when you disconnect a drive without synching, you can easily lose data... not 100% sure if this is how this kernel is configured though..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danial.aw:
i just took out my headphone and then put it back it... and the sound was back up :D...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
I hope this clears it up.

Scroll down to these values.

View attachment 935113

Click on Headset Power Mode. Type High-Performance in the box to change from the default setting of Low Power.

View attachment 935118

To really notice the increase in dynamic range be playing a song as you do this. The music will at first seem quieter but that's only a result of greater range. Everything will have more "punch" to it.

There are other values like "headset" which you can put any number 1-15 to increase the volume substantially. (I can't do above 8 without damaging my ears). There's also TWL6040 (name of our DAC) power mode where you can type high performance or low power but as far as I can tell it has little to no effect. I believe its possible that this is the value your kernel manipulates instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timafey:
Is this normal battery usage? My phone dies really fast... And android os seems like it's sucking as much power as screen. Any suggestions? Im on a gsm phone, running aokp 27.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I have no choice but 4G where I live. With sync I can do 14 hours with moderate use. 3-4 hours screen time. But to last 24 hours I'd have to do light use.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nighthound:
I have a similar, but different problem. On TuneIn Radio, whenever the screen goes off the app continues playing for a while, but then has problems buffering more streaming data. It will play and pause repeatedly until I turn the screen back on. This might be a problem with the app and not the kernel.

However if I play a local mp3 (using Poweramp), there is no problem playing the music whether the screen is on or off (on both the internal speakers as well as external speakers).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THE_KINGDOM:
Turn ur volume down half way and it will stop I'm willing to bet that this is volume hack related, same thing happened to me. It also depends on it settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I only have this issue on Wi-Fi with tune in radio. But on mobile data I have no issues. Used to have issues with mobile data too where I'd have to keep the screen on for it to play smooth. I'm leaving this problem up to the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gingernut78:
It's a well known problem on the Nexus but still hasn't been addressed by Google in the latest ICS update.

Wireless throughput is more than haved when the screen is off, I did some ping tests and the response time goes through the roof when you switch off the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
There is a way to "fix" that but it increases the amount of battery used by the wifi driver. I can think of a way to make it toggable via sysfs/app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gingernut78:
This must be some sort of broadcom driver bug right? but they can't be assed to fix it.

There's loads of reports on this problem as it's a big pain, especially if your downloading something large like a CM9 nightly or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I'm pretty sure it's the power management policy. I have to drop Milestone 1.1 with some fixes that I wasn't actually accounting for so I might as well add a toggle for that WiFi power management thingy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exostenza:
I'd just like chime in here for a second. I have done some testing and nova launcher drains my battery at least twice as fast as the stock launcher so if anyone is really concerned about battery make sure not use nova launcher.

I like all the extra bells and whistles it has but I am not sure I am willing to take the massive battery hit. I noticed it the most during sleep as I would normally lose about 4 percent during the night while I slept and with nova launcher I lose about 10 percent in the same time period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
That would be awesome Mr. Fransisco Franco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clepsy:
That's definitely not a launcher problem even that you have drain when you actually not using the launcher, I also use it with AOKP and M1 franco's kernel and I was amazed in the morning that I had no drain, at least not visible (bellow 1%) all this in 6 hours of sleep :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
The only problem from M1 is that screen on battery usage is pretty poor. That's caused by the removal of cgroups and autogroup. On M1.1 that will be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceo.mtcl:
May be it's just me but instead of making it as m1.1 you can version it as a nightly. Once users are satisfied by its performance it can be named as a milestone?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Good idea. Milestone 1 is more than stable so everyone with problems on the supposed nightlies can go back to M1. Let's see what I can do for today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
I noticed this...not the specifics but the battery life wasn't as on par with the screen on haha

PS: Is anyone noticing better battery life with the hotplug mod on? I play a lot of music and idk if it will handle it better with the 2 cores or just 1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exostenza:
I was reading for a while and many other people complain about more battery drain with nova launcher. The launcher def has something to do with it. I had a controlled environment and the launcher was the only thing that changed and the drain is much more apparent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
Yeah I notice a big battery life change when using google music and streaming with the hotplug mod enable. I could get a full day with just music, texting, fb twitter etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Gonna give it a go once again lol thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Ok that wifi power management is now exported to the userspace. Just tested with wget and screen_off and its a HUGE difference between stock pm_max and pm_fast. Coming for the next nightly which I hope to drop today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Ok nightlies directory added to the OP. This is how it's gonna work: every now and then I'll drop a newer version to that directory so people can test my new experiments and report back. Most of the times there won't be a changelog because I got better things to do than writing 50 changelogs a day. If there are noticeable differences I'll obviously call out first.

For r58 this are the changes:

* Wi-Fi power management exported to the userspace. If you want stronger signal on screen off (specially for streaming etc) - echo 1 > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/wifi_pm. To disable it echo 0. This is will be added to the app asap.

* Cgroups and autogroup are back - after all this is essential for improved screen_on battery usage

* GPU overclocked to 512mhz - this is an experiment so not everyone will be able to run this nightly

* Volume boost decreased to 10 from 13 for increased sound stability

* One or two small tweaks

Yes, but I can't do 10 different things at the same time, one thing at a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wlee2:
Did not want to ask.. but i still have issues with Volume Boost. volume 10 some reason on mine sounds way soft and sounded weird when notifications come in (ie Music plays.. volume blurs Notification sound.. continue music plays but continues sounding a bit off.)

i dont know if anyone else noticed if phone calls were sounding a bit weird as well but i only ever notice this when i run the M1 or anything above 18.4.

everything else works better on the later versions except the volume hack for me. sorry franco =P..

any chance on a version without volume hack?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nccu_eagles:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
For everyone with problem with audio hack, you can try Volume+ from Meltus, it's free from his website.

It works well on my GNex, at least you have smt working until Franco makes it more stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Franco, it seems to me that you should remove the OC GPU from r58 and name it Milestone 2. The only problem with Milestone 1 was the volume hack and you seem to fixed it (kinda) by decreasing the amount.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Too soon for M2. There are still a few things that I wanna work on before M2, that's why nightlies came back so soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Well I'll post my experience with the new nightly. It made my screen funny then rebooted... it was kinda interesting. Hope that helps somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Yes you are right about being too soon for M2 but it seems to me that the addition of cgroups and autogroup for better screen on battery is much wanted! (to those who dont want to use the OC GPU). Anyway you know best. Keep up the good work and thank for the amazing Kernel!

---------- Post added at 04:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 AM ----------

Maybe its because of the 512 MHz OC GPU. Franco said that it might not work for everyone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Yea I figured as much I just always try to leave my feedback
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
Installed nightly, cleared the caches and after reboot everything seems to work just great. I didn't feel for now any boost on GPU speed. Maybe I need some gaming. :-)

When be ready, the options to download nightlies from franco.kernel app and turn sound hack on and off will be very welcomed. But... Wait, you're like a development machine Francisco. Everyday we got more and more news and changelogs.

Thanks for the best kernel and that's ok if you decide to take a break. :-)
