new OMAP4 settings make this screen look AMAZING. Im running it at 1.4 and the contrast is so sharp. Best kernel for Gnex by far :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtrmiller:
Before r152, I was on M3 and had my multipliers set to 400, 400, 380, which pretty much blows the brightness out.

After flashing r152, the screen appears to not get as bright at these values.

Played around with the OMAP Gamma as well, which resulted in color banding at every setting except 1.0, similar to an old 64,000 color display.

I've since reverted back to M3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolzjai:
tried 1.4-1.6, feel like 1.6 looks like using 128bits color , lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtrmiller:
Isn't that basically the opposite of what I said? How are people getting great use of the new OMAP Gamma controls but on mine it's worse?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
anyone know what is the default value?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellaryt:
+1,1.4 looks amazing here:D

I guess default value is 1.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeyfong:
Please update the app at AndroidPIT, thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolzjai:
Ha! i test with 100% brightness, on 1.6 it looks best for me ^.^

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momomok:
I guess the gamma thing only affects the display in a physical way, so you basically won't be able to screenshot the difference
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
yes, it is tuning "hardwares" only, obviously
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolzjai:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
Even 1.2 in OMAP Gamma setting seems too dark for me. I think 1.1 shoud be fine for my GNex. BTW, the screen looks sharper now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antob125:
So are people using omap gamma along with Franco's recommended color multipliers and gamma? Or are you using stock colors and changing omap gamma?

What exactly does omap gamma do to our colors?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antob125:
Also do people still recommend lazy governor for 152 or is interactive the governor of choice since there were so many patches?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
When I use the phone a lot (screen on for a longer time - like in the evenings) I'm on lazy; when I switch the phone/ screen on and off a lot (like when I'm at work) I use interactive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apsis:
Unfortunately no update available yet via androipit, it still has the older version.

Franco do you think it might be possible to make the app updates available grim within the app in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
Wow, the colors are really insane with the new omap-gammathingy. Using your recommended settings with 1.4. Keep staring at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alteredmass:
I'm using Franco's recommended colors + the gamma its just beautiful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
If there was any point in time for a facepalm.jpg this would be it :D

Franco,

I just updated to R152 and did my 1080p 6min recording test and it stays below 60C now. Whatever you did fixed my issue (from M3 onwards), I was hitting over 70c before. <3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berz:
I dont know whats wrong , but everytime i use franco's i lose mtp ?

is this a known issue ? i honestly cant keep using this kernel without MTP

any known fix ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Don't use "fast usb charging" option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armoredkin:
Damn, the omap gamma with custom auto brightness settings drains up my battery as i keep on starring n amazed with my phone screen sharpness. Its beautiful. Great job, Franco.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Hi! I have been using this kernel ever since I got my nexus and its great :) Only thing I dont understand is why certain clock from the nightlies are removed. I know that some phones are not stable on them (such as 1.6 GHz) but why not keep them for those who can run them and let the user have a larger variety of clocks to choose from?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniac2403:
Franco wanted his kernel to be stable for any set of users who installed them. He made an app for that and people who had stability issues left bad ratings on google play. Hence, he decided to make it as stable as possible for the majority of users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Thanks for the reply :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oct_7:
I have downloaded and installed 152, but I can't find the option. Where is the option? I cannot find it under francoapp.

Edit: Forgot to update the app. :p. It is there now. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emilius:
Back to battery life. 152 for me compare to 121 take 3 x more juice. With 121 with "normal" use I can go over 2 days with my phone. Over the night, in 6 hours 121 will take just 2% in deep sleep. With 152, same situation, 6 hours in deep sleep wil take 6+%. Also with 152 I need to charge every day with same "normal" way how I use my phone.

I can not move from 121 until we find out what is cosign this huge diferences. With every new kernel I rush in hope and flash it but always by end of the day I am back to good old 121 kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes I have to do that :)

Because 90% of the Nexuses cant run higher than 1,35ghz without a few tricks and then people complain that the device doesnt work on high frequencies and my email inbox gets spammed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Is 1.0 for the OMAP4 Gamma interface stock? Or how to do you get back to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnIXmA:
What are your color, gamma and omap settings? Looks beautiful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Well it happens for me on every ROM. Upon initial launch of Franco app when I approve it to have SU permissions I go through screens to set my min and max mhz and when I get to settings screen it FC's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opethrocks:
Wow with these new gamma settings my display is even more awesome, i didnt think it was possible! Hey franco, is there any increased risk of burn in with these new settings??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuemdeluxe:
Just a small question:

All previous kernels with 384 MHz gpu caused graphical glitches on my gn while build 151 with 512 MHz works perfectly! Do I get something really wrong here or were the voltages changed or something like that?

Thanks in advance for an explanation!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
If anything less risk than normal because of the overall darker picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opethrocks:
The reason i ask is because i have to increase the brightness a little more in the system settings so im increasing power to the pixels. But either way im getting gorgeous results. I just dont fully understand what gamma is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natious:
Anyone else get a blue flash on unlock if you set the blue gamma to a negative value.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrNameless:
Why only 729mHz downclock and not 800 anymore?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
Love the additions Franco!

sent from a Android device :)

I'm always on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
This is how I understand it...

Think of the brightness of shades of grey on your display as a linear relationship from max black to max white going left to right on the X axis and on the Y axis 0 - 100 representing percent brightness or "whiteness" to be displayed. Therefore, black on the left is at 0, and white on the right is 100. So in the middle, 50 is "middle" grey and is displayed as 50% "whiteness". Adjusting the gamma is like grabbing that middle point and pulling it "up and to the left" or "down and to the right" bending or curving the line.

The gamma setting 5 or 1.0 in the app is the stock linear relationship. The higher the number set, the more this line gets pulled down and to the right.

The end effect of this change depends on your setting, but as a rough example (making up values), the change from black to 25% white may only be like a 20% increase in "whiteness" (0-20 instead of 0-25). While the change from 75% white to Max white might be something like a change from 60% whiteness to 100% (60-100 instead of 75 to 100).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
The Boost is a parameter for the Interactive governor, possibly increasing the performance a little extra notch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
Great, what type of values should we input? 1,2,3? Or like 100,200, etc

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opethrocks:
Thanks for the explanation. I just needed a little better understanding, very well thought out reply by the way, i appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Input boost increases the cpu frequency whenever there is an input event. For example you touch the screen and it increases the current frequency to max. This eliminates any kind of lag when swiping through menus or scrolling websites while touching the screen. Although this ****s up battery life quite a bit because it scales a lot more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
is it a simple off and on thing like 0 or 1 values? or is there a diverse range of values?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Just 0 and 1. I need to change on the app otherwise some people will just type random numbers instead of 0 or 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrNameless:
Hey Franco!

Why we haven't got 800 and 900 mHz option in Max CPU?

Thanks.

To many steps is useless when you use your phone most of the time it is using the max or the lowest frequencies more frequencies is useless

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jzero88:
So how is this kernel compared to the stock CM9. I see this is a very favored kernel, and I want to try it.

Does it give as good if not better battery life as stock CM9? Any thoughts would be great, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Just wondering, I personally think the gamma level higher than 1.0 looks horrible. Why do you guys like it? Just looking for some opinions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotnikkelz:
Best to try it yourself and see. It will vary from person to person.

I've had good results with CM9 and this kernel

@andrew

The colours tend to be more saturated, and the whites a bit whiter. Biggest thing for me though is that drastically reduced banding on some gradients that I have

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -viperboy-:


Init.d scripts go in /system/etc/init.d but the ROM and kernel need to support it for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
That's not what I asked..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Gamma setting path is in the change log a few pages ago. It's also in his app.

Boost settings are part of governor control which is done through the app. There's probably a directory somewhere, I don't know where it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aleve1983:
in governor control hispeed_freq dont' save parameters
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SleemLDJ:
Lol. So you get access to xda in recovery mode? Lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qortez1:
I couldn't get the "echo" commands to work for me for nothing lol So I just went to the file with root explorer and changed the value via the text editor inside the files folder. Was this the correct "alternate" way of doing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sruel3216:
Franco,

I noticed when i have the boost enabled, if i listen to music my phone wont use the 192 slot with the screen off even tho i have it set to 192. it uses 384 instead. when i disable boost my phone correctly started using 192 with music playing while screen is off.

idk if this is how it is suppose to be, so just letting you know. The boost works well scrolling from apps to widgets in the app drawer. good job with that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Yes, it's the same thing. If you use his app, you can see that different all settings correspond to different values in that file, such as 1.6 Franco app = 8 in the gamma file :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qballe:
Franco, some problems with boost = 1 :

The device don t use 384 freq, I try to stay on home screen w/o doing nothing , and I set in your app1036 as max freq and not 13xx .... I am on r152 ( 512 ) interactive ! Btw tnx for your work !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qballe:

( the setting screen is old but I update the app and obv set the same freq :-) )

Has Franco said if he will make nightlies with stock(307) GPU or not?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M00_cow:
I wanted to ask a question because I've recently noticed some data irregularities associated with this kernel.

Have been using Franco since I bought my nexus, and the data problems have only been around for about a month.

What happens is that my data will be working fine, and then completely turn off mid operation (generally takes about 10- 15seconds). Once it comes back up its smooth sailing till it drops again.

I know it's not to do with reception as it happens seemingly randomly (can't work out why. Doesn't seem to be any obvious triggers.).

I only tracked it down to the kernel when I flashed aokp m5 which uses faux and the issues gone since, but I like Franco more. Just this annoying issue.

Was using nightlies. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellaryt:
There is a weird things with these days no matter which builds of franco's kernel.

Everyday the first time to play Temple Run and the first time use the winger(double tap the screen) would got a lag.After that,everything back to normal.

I have tried liquid 1.3/1.35 but aokp for daily use.And it happend with last 5or 6 public release builds of franco's kernel.(I also trid ondemand,interactive,lazy govornor,But I use the same setting before it happend )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Are you sure it isn't a radio issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolzjai:
Beside of using latest radio, Try to increase your minimum CPU to 729 Mhz to see if it helps.

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

Try set your min freq to 729Mhz or higher first see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M00_cow:
To be honest, I am unsure. I initially thought it may be the radio until I discovered that the radio was/is working perfectly with faux.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Did you do a complete wipe? Try locking and unlocking boot loader? I've been using Franco's kernel for over a month and never once have a data problem. Try going back to stock rom and install the kernel and see if it keeps happening because I haven't had the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mistermojorizin:
while you got me on the right track, that command actually does not work. try it.

the correct command is in fact: echo "X" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager0/gamma

where X is the value you want set.

I haven't heard someone say get a life since middle school. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Anyway, answering the same question multiple times helps no one. Instead they might learn how to use the search tool or read a few pages back. Anyone on this forum obviously is interested in android and spoon feeding answers and supplying things like one-click root tools are only doing them a disservice by adding an additional layer between them and what's actually going on. XDA search, adb, google, fast boot, actual reading, and so on are not difficult and people will be glad once they know how to use them.
