Franco,

My device still wont get to bootscreen with 512 (shows google logo then black screen for 10 seconds, reboots and same goes all over again), r130 was no problems (was stuttering with smart reflex on but buttery smooth with it off). Can you check to see what could be the reason r130 boots and runs fine on 512 but not r133 or r135? TBH, r130 is the only nightly I know has worked on my device!

Keep up this good work!

EDIT: r130 is the only nighlty I know has worked with 512Mhz on my device, 384 has been just fine!

EDIT 2: How come Core UV doesnt have any option for 384Mhz GPU?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
What is the advantage of the gpu running faster...?

Hint the question is the answer.. miaaan

Thanks for the reports, I'll look into the app thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Same here.

Before the gap is 133 with Ondemand, 729/1228, no hotplug and after is 135 with Interactive, 384/1228 no hotplug.

Performance seems to be better on the latter setup. Let's see what tomorrow brings as it will be very similar conditions.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Just had a look and the 512 Mhz slot in the app refers to the same OPP for 512 and 384 so if you change that slot in the 384mhz kernel version you're changing it correctly. I'll have to think of a way to detect which frequency is being used and display the text correctly, but I guarantee you that it's working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartinodF:
135 scrolling issues

I'm currently on #133 512mhz. I tried updating to #135 (same 512mhz, same settings) but scrolling performance suffered a lot.

I tried changing governor and frequencies but it doesn't seem to be related to the CPU. Every app I tried (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) displays some serious stuttering while scrolling the feed. I don't know what to make of it, and I didn't succeed in fixing or even mitigating the problem by fiddling with any of the configuration options.

I downgraded to #133, but I'm worried future nightlies are going to have the same problem. Scrolling performance (and in general GPU performance) has been much better than stock with Franco's kernel up until now, no lag whatsoever. Am I the only one experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Hmm my governor settings aren't sticking. After the phone being in sleep for a long time it reverts the interactive back to on demand.. could this be due to hot plug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
I get a lag scrolling also sometimes on both versions . I'm already back to 121

.....

I've been on this kernel since very first beta, I've seen 1000's of battery pictures and my battery this my battery that . I don't UV anything I run completely stock 99% of the time besides messing with color ..... and I get 4+ screen hours a day out of this kernel with stock battery . Just fyi of everyone messing with everything before they even have run the damn thing for a day ..... OK by: )

Is there any reason to manually uv iva or core? Does smart reflex not work on them? If so anyone know of good values, I've never had instability on any of francos nighties
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
How?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
How what? Battery? Its what I've always got 3.75-4.2 screen hours, stock settings, aokp Rom franco kernel (121 atm ), brightness 80%, data on, GPS on, sync ( Gmail) on that's bout it, i text a lot, talk **** here, few phone calls a day, no games, and I don't stare at battery or my voltages . I run it down to 4% and I charge till its at 100% I do nothing else

U no what the easiest thing to do to get better battery??? Use a battery icon that dose not tell u what percentage is left in numbers AKA use stock icon ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
This is weird, governor keeps defaulting to on demand even with generic hot plug off.

Hmm let's try faux reset kernel then reflash?

Edit: same thing wtf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
+1 except closer to 45% screen brightness. I also don't let it get below 10%. Stock icon saves me the battery woes as well :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asim0:
@Franco do you plan implementing 384 GPU freq on next milestone, or still stock 307? Maybe possible to tweak via your app.

Anyway i'm not a flash junkie so haven't tried nightlies but noone seems to complain on gpu 384...

Keep up the good stuff coming, and the sister filter is a damn good idea imo, to much geeks testing :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
Wait, so having a battery icon that shows the percentage kills some battery? Never heard of that :P

And im liking r135 so far. 4 hours and at 80% and after some light gameplay of Temple Run, ShadowGun, Cut the Rope, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
will post my battery late tonight of r121 and the new Gummy 1.0 build

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] borneanheadhunter:
was looking forward to this. thanks Franco.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLUVJ:
LOL, that was sarcasm in case you missed it. If you dont look at the percentage every second..you'd be using your phone more and just focusing less on that. the only time you'll worry would be the 14% notification and 4%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
100% stock, I flash the kernel change my screen color and that's it . So 300 whatever min and 1200 max ondemand.R you using of 4.0 .4 rom? If so do you also have the 4.0 .4 bootloader and radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshndroid:
Super odd but the 512 oc gpu kernel screws my nav buttons and icons on aokp 31... The 318 oc gpu doesn't and works fine and is great but just wondered why this may occur as was going to test 512 oc gpu for giggles lol

How is the latest nightly on liquid smooth rom? Battery and performance wise? Would really appreciate if any tester could give some feedback on this setup.

Thnx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
Running very well in Liquid for me. Getting moderate battery life - my battery is at 66% after 6 hours mostly idle but I have 4G on and played a few 3D games. No lag with 512 gpu.

Overclocked to 1344mhz and 729 min interactive gov and Gen hot plug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Works fine for me. AOKP b31 and r135 (512).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
New Gummy 1.0 and r121 first day of usage. Had to drain battery towards the end to get it the percentage down closer to 0%. Screen on time is almost all from browsing web pages and checking gvoice and homescreens etc...wifi on 100% of time GPS turned off as I rarely use maps or anything

Hotplug governor, 384mhz min and 1228mhz max, I put in UV values but idk if that does anything as smartflex should be enabled. I don't have Franco app yet so idk whats enabled by default and whats not.

Played Temple Run for about 30 minutes, the Finance app drained my battery until I realized and stopped it. Must've been fetching data or something stuck in a loop, ate almost as much as temple run.

I'd say in general, 5+ hours is easy no matter what I do every day. 6 hours would be pushing it.

Not asking whether it worked.. But what it could be causing it in one release where the difference should only be gpu clock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spinkick:
What videocard speed do you run?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
What it could be causing it? There is one reason for it - your device does not handle 512 gpu oc. On the latest builds it is more noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Holy wow...I'm definitely going to try this setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Doing the same right now, thats off stock battery

Thnx. Just flashed r135 and it is much smoother than before. Will test the battery tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spinkick:
what video card speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
512mhz so the regular nightly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Can you post your UV values too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
not sure it matters as smart reflex is supposed to overtake it but yea theyre:

384mhz - 825mv

729mhz - 925mv

1036mhz - 1075mv

1228mhz - 1125mv

They can be pushed lower, I've run with it lower....just wanted to see if it changed stability or anything bumping the voltages up a bit. I can run each one 25mv less with no problems as i've already done so. But yea, smart reflex should be overtaking these values hopefully if it works correctly....these just set a ceiling limit I believe

Edit: Lowered each step 25mv and just played Temple run for 5 mins and benchmarked completely fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
Here's a little battery tweak for you all:

Change all color multipliers to 400 and you can turn brightness all the way down. It doesn't look that bad but it does wonders for your battery. It took almost 4 hours for my battery to drop from 86% to 4% last night. There was loads of surfing with wifi and angry birds. I will try again today with full charge.

Here's the settings:

AOKP b31, Franco 133 with 384 gpu, interactive, generic hotplug, 384min 1228max, smartreflex.

p.s. Has anyone dirty flashed 135 from 133? Any issues?

EDIT: governor changed to interactive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
4 hours of screen on time? stock battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
I mean...I just got 5 hours with 18% left

Now I'm at 5% with 5 hours 28 minutes display time continuing on from what I posted before

Wow that looks like some great battery life. Now imagine with the extended battery :)

Any background apps running? I want that battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Yea, I'm contemplating getting the genuine 2000mah and seeing what kind of display time I could get.....7 hours? For barely any thickness

And what do you mean by background apps? like juice defender or anything? if so, no to background apps.......I keep everything synced though, 3 Gmail accounts synced and 1 AOL email but that doesn't auto refresh. I have weather widget that refreshed every 6 hours no biggies. Google Voice is synced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
Its funny how I get worse battery life than most people here who use standard ones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
AOKP isn't that good on battery (looking at your sig). Everyone flashes it just for its customization mostly

When I tried it, I got like 4 hours display max but I knew going into it that AOKP wasn't battery friendly compared to others.

LiquidSmooth and Gummy are the two best from what I've heard and tried and it's holding true.

I've tried both LiquidSmooth 1.25 and Gummy 1.0 now with r121 and they are comparable in battery life with Gummy edging out Liquid by a little bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsfozzy:
Franco, thanks for sorting out the voltage issue on r133 (512), I'm running r135 (512) perfectly. Nice to be back with the program!

12hrs with 2hrs40minutes screen on,now left 37%.Play Where is my water for 1hrs which waste nearly 40%battery,more than 1hrs use tapatalk and other apps for internet,more than 4hrs wifi on.

It's a good result for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mistermojorizin:
the app doesn't affect it. it works fine with an old version of the app, as long as you update to the latest nightly kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opethrocks:
Does any one else experience a serious battery drain during voice calls? On a 10min voice call I lose like 5% and I'm in an area with decent signal. I'm on aokp b31 with Franco kernel nightly v135. And I have ugla4 radio, which has always given me good battery life. I'm curious because my old sgs2 had pretty great in call batt life. I was thinking maybe hotplug would help since the screen is off during calls. And the phone shouldn't need much processing power when screen is off. Sorry for rambling, I'm inebriated. This kernel rocks almost as much as Steven Wilson from porcupine tree does!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Tried with hotplug governor and generic hotplug. No serious battery drain found. I lost only 2% during 35 min.

b31

r133 (512)

XXLA2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opethrocks:
Maybe I'll try using generic hot plug option with interactive governor. Because using hotplug governor seems to cause more lags. I'm not sure if using hotplug governor is exactly the same as using hot plug option or not. I need both cores while screen is on because I love a lag free phone. But man 2% on that long of a call sounds awesome, I had about an hour of calls earlier right after flashing the newest nightly and I lost around 30%, that is just unacceptable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Hotplug governor is basically ondemand + dynamic hotplug. Hotplug governor turns cpu1 off when it is not needed. Generic hotplug turns cpu1 off when screen is off.

On latest builds I'm using interactive governor + generic hotplug. Works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mgear356:
Is it me or 135 makes the phone hotter than 133?

Both are running at 512cpu, 729 /1344 interactive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
Appreciate if someone can enlighten me.

My config is:

AOKP b31, r135 (512), interactive, 3G data all the way

As you see from the attachments, not much screen on and cpuspy shows not much wakelocks. But the battery keeps draining within the 3 hours and had an unexpected reboot when I did not notice so no log.

Anyone can take a guess why battery drain so much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rafael-as:
I don't known what happens. But like r130 and r133, r135 did not like my GNex and drained my battery. I tried many configuration but did not have success.

Back to r121
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Try the 384gpu version and also don't check cpuspy for wake locks, check better battery stats. Also are you UV/OC or stock settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukasb9000:
I've set the BLX to default 96 and my battery nevertheless charges up to 99?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sing1gnis:
I think it has something to do with the LTE version. I can barely get two hours screen time with 3G and almost 3 with WiFi. So far, everyone that I've seen with unbelievable battery life has had the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
Of course, that's why the LTE version is given a battery with a higher capacity compared to the GSM version! The battery drain is faster to compensate for the faster data transfer! You can't compare the 2 IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myrdog:
+1

Is this limiting the battery to 96% but displaying the statistics to us on the basis of battery 96% = android 100%? Funny enough, my phone hasn't been charging to 100% lately - it's been stopping at 99%. But once I installed r135, I'm now hitting 100% again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sing1gnis:
I don't even have 4G in my area yet so that's not the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
But I have been using all the past 512gpu (except 133) without a problem. And most importantly the screen wasn't even on. And for wake lock, I checked battery stat too and there were a few minutes of location services only so it wasn't really about wakelock I think. So naturally it was draining battery during no apparently operation. Anyone else has similar problem?

I had OC to 13xxmhz and no UV. I always had that OC too without such drain from nothing too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
A few minutes of wakelock can actually be a lot, if it comes in small bursts rather than one long one. Every time the phone wakes up, it takes a while to go back to sleep, so for 1 second of lock, you might have a total of 10 awake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Did you make sure to turn LTE off?? It will still drain if left on. You probably know that though.

It's a combination of ROM and Kernel, the CDMA Version with LTE turned off should be exceeding battery life of GSM.

Type *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone, then network and see if you can select something that turns LTE off.

You can also check the health of your battery when charged to 100%....mine says 4170mV, verizon will have a larger battery so yea..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrUhNiGGs:
Here's my battery stats starting from yesterday all the way up to now with an Extended Battery:

Running Liquid 1.25, r135 512gpu, overclocked at 1344 and 729 min, interactive gov w/ generic hotplug, SmartReflex Undervolted. Also had 4G on the whole time but wifi was connected also + powersaver feature on Liquid Rom. Moderate usage and mostly on Facebook.

Got a good 18 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SrTapir:
Hi everyone.

I'm amazed with the new UV options of CORE and IVA (I'm a crazy/lover Undervolter) and I've achieved a 20% in general values, ¿have anyone tried this?.

Another question, IVA is used while seeing a movie for example?

My actual screens:

Which values are you using??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
sorry to off-track a bit here. Is the extended battery pack worth it? :P Contemplating to get one myself here hehe!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChickenGod:
I live in San Diego with LTE and I can get 2 1/2 hours screen on with everything on. I am using the extended battery though... Maybe that's why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
He's on verizon so its probably helpful especially with the LTE sucking juice.

By calculations, it will add 15%.......for me, battery drains at about 30 minutes display time for every 10% in general including 1-2 hours of standby, so it would add like 45 minutes of display time. Not bad, but nothing amazing. It would help a lot more with standby IMO.

I'm debating getting one. Expansys seems to have it on sale for $34 and I think shipping is free which is a good deal

http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-extended-battery-and-cover-for-gsm-galaxy-nexus-226962/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
thanks for info.

but it never was like that for 512mhz before

and still most of the time it was deep sleeping and even if it was awake it was at 382mhz which should be low voltage

this drain is just quite frustrating

just finished the battery at around 10 hours with screen on time about 1 hour

anyway, just thought i'd get some comments from you guys experts.

Question for you all. How are you getting 3 hours of screen time? I'm lucky if I get 2 hours with just browsing on Tapatalk or reading my RSS feeds. Underclocked to 700mhz max with ondemand governor, 50% brightness using LTE. On AOKP milestone 4 with rc133.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
That might be the reason...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Test with r121
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
The best governor is depending on your usage profile, to quote from a developer, ch33kybutt, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. One governor favorable to an individual may not be as good to you. Give it a try and tell us your results :)

but

If you must ask, I would say ondemand, interactive and hotplug all yield pretty good results.

You already answered your own question, LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clepsy:
So as promised, here come the screenshoot of my today battery life test

A few details before:

Rom used: Aokp B31

Kernel: R135 512 mhz GPU

Battery type: OEM extended 2000 mha

Phone type : GSM version

Connection use: only wireless

Clock settings: 384/1344, gov - hotplug

UV: according to screenshoots

Phone usage style: Basic internet browsing, a few play with the voltage control and restarts, some mkv file play (couple of minutes), a lot of whatsapp + picture taking, a few minutes of video recording, 2 runs of nenamerk 2 and 1 of antutu :) and some little gaming, all I remember now :)

I did this kind of test with other franco kernel release without posting but I can tell that this one is the best, also compared to other kernels I found this both fast and battery friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
