Is there a way i can increase the minimum voltages that SR uses to scale between for each step with SR on at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tusing:
Updates??

Will my Galaxy Nexus still get official automatic updates if I unlock the bootloader, root phone, rename recovery restore files, flash custom recovery(CWM Touch), and install this kernel? (I'm on stock ROM, and have no plans to install any other)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
The answer to that question is no!

You need stock everything to get updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tusing:
How will I ever update my phone without erasing everything then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
What version are you on? 4.0.4?

If so you don't need to worry about upgrades for a while.

You can back up app data and text messages with titanium backup and contacts are stored in the cloud so they will sync to your phone again once you set up a new rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Hmmm. I was running LS, Franco kernel, cwm and had unlocked bootloader but still got the option to "software update" from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EchoVelocity:
You'll get updates by flashing the update through CWM recovery. The ROM dev will provide updates, and if you're using a rooted stock ROM then a flashable rooted version of a new update usually appears on these forums pretty sharpish.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tusing:
Did it work? Also, what is LS? I plan to install AOKP after I get my SIM card on Monday and activate my phone.

This kernel doesn't change the baseband or radio, right? I will be activating my phone on T-Mobile USA's Monthly4G plan, so I'm a bit worried about compatibility.

Sorry for all of the questions. I'm a bit new to Android and the Nexus in general.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
And did you try install it???

No? Well good because it wouldn't work!

It'll show an update, download it, but it won't flash it.

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

Liquid smooth is a custom rom.

Once you flash aokp you can flash updates over the previous version without loss of data unless a wipe is specified by the rom dev.

No it doesn't touch the baseband or radio.

It'll work fine on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tusing:
Okay, thanks for the help, guys. I rooted my phone, and made a backup. I'll only install this kernel and AOKP (or another ROM) after I activate my phone with T-Mobile to prevent issues. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
That is false, you only need stock recovery to be able to be able to flash the official OTAs, so you can have a rooted device with an unlocked bootloader with stock recovery and be able to flash OTA updates. But you will loose root if you OTA from say a rooted 4.0.3 to 4.0.4, in which case you will have to enable superuser access again. Keep in mind that even with CWM recovery you will get the notification for the OTA and the phone will download it, but it will be unable to flash it with CWM recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
You don't need to wait to activate it to flash a rim and kernel, you can flash away as much as you want, a sim card doesn't matter.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

And is that not stock everything???

So you're saying I can flash an ota if I'm running aokp as long as I have the stock recovery??

No. It has to be stock everything. Radio too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tusing:
How would I revert to the original stock recovery? Would it be a good idea to revert to the stock recovery?

The radio won't be affected, and neither will the activation process? The reason I ask is because on my previous Android phone, flashing ICS or any ROM would disable activating the phone, and you would have to flash back to Android 2.2 to activate the phone, then you could do what you want. But I'm a bit new to the Nexus, so it would be great if the radios / activation process is left unaffected!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
There is no need to flash back to the stock recovery, use cwm.

You'll be using custom roms so you'll need cwm. Disregard that post.

No, the radio will be fine, trust me, its separate to the rom.

You can flash a rom and take it for a test drive! :)

Edit: this is gone off topic, this is the Franco.kernel thread so let's leave it at that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
you have to have stock radio,bootloader,kernel,recovery and no changes to system files for update to install

Sent from my Gnex {GSM}
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tusing:
Okay. So back to franco.Kernel: With my last CWM backup, I'm assuming my stock kernel was also backed up? So, I can proceed to install franco.Kernel and revert to stock when I need to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Exactly! Flashing your nandroid will revert your phone to the way it was when you made the nandroid.

So flash a rom and kernel and see how you like them!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
Kind of. But you'd have to compile the kernel from source yourself, and even then its ridiculously difficult and requires a lot of addition code, paramaters, and general hackery. Why do you want to this in the first place? There's probably a much simpler way to way to accomplish whatever your trying to do.

Oh and on an unrelated note I've been busy with school for a while so I've fallen behind all the new releases. The new kernels are working out great so far!

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Hey Franco, I'm willing to bet the values where errors arise are different depending on the panel you have, i.e. whether its an M3, SM2, or SM2A2. These different panels are outlined in board-tuna-display.c. You can quickly check which type you have using supercurio's voodoo experiment app.

I'm not sure how much the panels vary for device to device or if they do at all. Maybe we actually all have the same panel. I don't know. It's still something to consider.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankyyy02:
Coz I've got an issue with what seems to be core voltages and SR causing the screen to fade and almost blacken over with low CPU min and switching to lower core voltages.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26232661
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
The core voltage absolute minimum is the same as the stock kernel which you aren't even reaching at 886mV. That's not your problem. The best solution is to use a different kernel as no one else has this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankyyy02:
If i decrease the core 153 max to 850mV the issue disappears. It is only with the stock 952mV (I think it was previously) that SR calcs 886mV and is setting that the issue occurs. With the 850mV SR calcs at 830 instead of 886.

Had the same issue with recent CM stock kernel and Fugu. Franco's was good until 152 onwards. 151 I had no issue. Franco suggested it was a voltage issue on his end.

I have been toying with it as a understanding process and the last 12hrs look as seem to have resolved it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thats interesting. I've seen SR **** up before, so this doesn't surprise me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankyyy02:
Glad to see I'm not going totally nuts :)

Only issue is the voltage resets at reboot at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retareq:
I just wanted to report, I'm on AOKP M5 with Nightly 162 I flashed yesterday I think. I'm at 50% battery right now with 2h30m of Screen ON time already. This is great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Stock battery? Stock power mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retareq:
Yes Stock battery, lazy governor, single core, power save + custom auto brightness levels that I modify everyday. Oh and 2G mode + wifi when needed. 3G would of course eat more battery but I was trying to get more Screen ON time anyways so mission accomplished.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Give it a wheelchair and a hearing aid while your at it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retareq:
It's low riding on franco kernel right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Just had an SOD on R160. 192-1228. Phone ran like a champ for 3 days, then decides to take a poop...funny how they work sometimes. Not blaming kernel. Most likely low frequency/low voltage that caused it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
@nodstuffWith the stock recovery, you can't install custom ROMs or custom kernels like this great kernel but just because you have A stock ROM doesn't mean everything is stock as rooting is modifying your phone because you push su binaries to your phone. By having a rooted stock rom, you have essentially modified your and thus its not all stock.

Sorry for going off topic here but on topic M3 runs very smooth on the latest CM9 nightly despite it having stock GPU clocks. Big ups to Franco for this kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
You know what has great screen on time? Nokia 1100.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Yes I know, that's why -I- was the one who said you needed all stock, remember, when I said that and you didn't??

Read my posts properly, I think you are confused.

This is what you said:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
If you agree with me that rooting a device doesn't make it all stock, you'll agree that you don't need all stock. Don't mean to come across as rude but I just wanted to state that you can get and install OTAs with super user access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Ya but rooting doesn't matter, it doesn't come into the equation, rom, radio, bootloader and recovery.

That's what matters. Stock in that respect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:
Ah thanks for clearing that up :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
The joke is I run a similar set up, power save, single core, brightness low as possible, no GPS, no sync, 2g and in fairness there isn't much difference in performance, the battery life is much better in single core and 2g only just them selves. That's my set up for work hours to ensure I have enough battery to sit and read xda whilst supposed to be working :D

I don't know if this is a kernel management but i would love if we can keep press the power buton (like 10sec) to do a hard stop (or reboot) like our computers instead of remove the battery...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paranoid2007:
My Nexus running b160 just froze, when I unplugged the charger. Don't know, if the kernel is to blame or not. Otherwise b160 is phenomenal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
running a high gamma, should consume less battery as it makes the screen darker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
Might have to give single core mode a try seeing as Android currently makes little use of multi-threading. I'll post back if there are any tangible differences.

Im running a newer build on my GN which I think has the unlock-microlag fixed by accient. If this is true (after Im done with all my testing) its one of the stupidiest thing ever ...damn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigeyes0x0:
You meant the lag when one has auto-brightness enabled? That's not micro IMO, it annoyed the hell out of me so I disabled auto-brightness long ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I think he meant the lag for the screen turning on when you plug in the charger
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Razer(x):
Anybody with debug USB not recognized? i do have to reboot every time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
OK so single core mode seems to have little impact on performance if any. Gonna be a while before I can assess its impact on battery life though. Makes you laugh considering the marketing and PR regarding Quad-Core handsets! My Nexus One still handles most tasks admirably.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
I thought ICS was optimized for dual core processors?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Yes it is and you will see some lag when multitasking for awhile (tried out single core mode for awhile)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retareq:
Amen to that!

My last phone was LG Optimus 2X and with the latest kernel and rom its still not smooth as my Gnex with lazy single core mode...I've been trying different options since I bought the app at m3 and 162 making me happy!!

If you see lag in single core then just change the mode to balanced and switch it back to single core, also lazy makes it lag as well you can change that to get better results. I love this app it makes it so easy..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
The OS itself does make use of multiple threads but it's minimal! Most applications and games don't, similar to the PC really. Only recently have games and apps really started to make use of multiple cores on PC. There wasn't really any benefit of going quad core rather than dual core if the processor used the same architecture.

Anyway, let's see how it goes, I expect savings to be minimal as the CPU isn't really the main drain of power on a handset more so the screen. Hence iPhones having fantastic battery life on 1450mah battery.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
Franco,

The wifi voltage is still too low for my phone, reception is only ok-to-low, and random apps still have issues connecting, sometimes it won't unless I kill the app first and start over. Whatsapp for example will often load messages in batches and media downloads will regularly, if not most of the time, fail.

Other than that it is excellent :). 162 stopped the high temps I had been having post 156~ region that returned from earlier nightlies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thanks for the input. I will increase it another 25mV the next nightly.

Also I'm having an odd issue with smartreflex

Occasionally I'll use the kickasskernel tweak by Zeppelinrox which is essentially a huge collection of sysctl settings and for some reason it seems to break the smartreflex panel in your app, nothing at all shows up for the voltages or CPU speeds

Could you look through the sysctl settings to see which one (s) break the smartreflex?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] provolinoo:
Hi guys,

I just got a Galaxy Nexus and I'd like to test it (I installed CM9 latest nightly).

I used Franco's kernel in the past on the Nexus S and I loved it, hope to get same feelings on the GN version :D

A little question:

if I use the kernel without the updater app (I'm not able to buy it at this time, no credit card configured on the Google account I used on the phone) will I miss any important feature? Are defaults settings ok?

I'm wondering if the app is mandatory to have good performance/battery or it's more like a "plus" for users who want deeper customizations.

@Franco

what about releasing a free ad supported version of your app for users who cannot buy the paid version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
Hi Franco, I'm having a strange behavior lately with ur kernel (160 and 162)..auto brightness does not work properly, its able to put high the brightness but not to put it down..it go to a down level only if I lock and unlock the phone..

I'm on the stock rom, and before with stock kernel it was ok..not sure if the problem is the rom..

Everything else is perfect

Sorry for my **** explanation :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupWiz17:
Is there any details about each setting though? I thought I read that they were going to be included in the app. I guess you can just watch the app and see what changes.

Any1 have a link to 161 / 512 gpu? Its not in the downloads off 1st page, I think it was faster than 162 I've used 162 for over 24 hours I wanna try 161 agn if any1 has it ...

Well I'm sure that Franco will find this feedback very useful. /sarcasm

Not good for you how? 162 appears great to me so far, although I'll know better in about 24 hours. (running 512gpu with liquid 1.4)

The one glitch I may be having is losing wireless with screen off. Not sure though and will need to check later.

Franco - are the color modifiers built in to liquid supposed to work with your kernel? (as currently implemented)

Hey guys.

Really want to try Franco's new stuff.

Tried and earlier version in a 4.0.3 rom and it was causeing some serious choppy calls. But, maybe that was the rom. On AOKP now and want to give this a shot.

Anyway to have Max CPU at 1200mhz flat? Not the 1235 or whatever it is?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] busterbrown77:
Ok, so i have a question... I've been trying to run this since r999 on AOKP B35 and i keep having nonstop force closes on boot (acore, system, all my apps etc.) and my SDCard doesn't fully mount. I see about 4 folders out of around 20. It also reboots about 5 minutes in no matter what. Even just leaving it alone. I've read about SDCard library files being different by kernel, which is why i flashed faux's reset kernel beforehand. Regardless, it still messes up. It's also not modifying the SDCard, as booting into another rom i can see all my folders.

Any ideas? This is a semi recent install of AOKP...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
When is last time u have done FULL wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] busterbrown77:
Maybe 2 weeks ago for a recovery issue. No nandroids restored in both TWRP or CWM. So i reinstalled 4.0.2 in fastboot with wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
If was me and I was having all that happen at once I'd try " fix permissions " first in recovery, and if that didn't work I'd, back up with TB, and do another wipe, but just from recovery, cache, dalvik, format system and data (the "SD card " won't be touched ( I'm sure u no that but if u didn't ....) and reinstall aokp then that reset kernel, then Franco from same flash, reinstall apps with TB back up ... and bet u be good ...
