Thank you

What role does fsync plays in our phones? I tried to find a quick answer without success

Is there any way to avoid fsync problems in the future? I need my phone to be reliable. And until now it has been, running various roms and franco kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeyfong:
+1 :o:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Damn Franco I pushed this hard today (yes, that's what she said) and got all day battery. Only charged it for 5 mins in the car from work to the gym.

Smartflex on (tomorrow ill try it off)

Interactive 192/1344 (512 gpu)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
It improves battery life and makes write access quicker if disabled but you could lose data or have data corruption if your device hard resets or if multiple consecutive writes occur "chaotically".

This is why I/O scores are so high on Franco kernel, some kernels have it enabled for safety (faux kernel), some have it enabled but with an option to disable (glados kernel), and some have it disabled with no real way to enable which is the case with Franco

Best bet- make sure your phone gets turned off properly every time and always have a backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Ya I agree, I actually use gladios app for this I like his 4 setting, I like the phone bright not dark

Charged battery agn and still getting about a 20% difference in battery life ( not good way ) on 163,

Flashed the reset kernel and reinstalled 163 see what happens, besides battery its fast and flawless on full power setting ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
Franco thanks for everything. I went to the darkside and vowed to come back when android gets their stuff together. I just got tired!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
You mean you're only getting 5 1/2 hrs screen on as opposed to 7hrs this time?! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Which is still better than ur best day; )

Reset kernel??? What is?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neos_83:
When you use the command "adb reboot" is this considered a hard reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I'm not sure but I do know that I've lost app data before from a freeze and reboot, for example I set custom voltages then played a game that froze the phone and I lost all my data for the game...obviously that's not a really big deal with data loss but if it happens with important system data then it certainly would be a problem

I'd suggest just using the power menu to reboot if possible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beama:
I had a lot of trouble with 163. Datadrops, BOD, and my background was for a sec green when I turn the screen on.

The datadrops was the worst of all, it's really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Re installs factory kernel settings so u can have " clean " install its recommended by a few kernel dev before flashing there kernel specially if ur a " crack flasher " its fixed 100% my issues caused by my phone . http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12512-gn-ltehybrid-3030-ics40234pre-uvoctuncifsotgfiopsv017may-07/ scroll down till u see ur version .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
My multipliers are set to 400. This way I can turn brightness all the way down to 5%. It looks about the same as multipliers 200 with 40% brightness. I've used these settings about two months without any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
999 aka 160

After Trying 160, 61, 62 and 163 I find 160 to be the new 121(IMO) , all the versions ran great but I keep going back to 160 ( 512 gpu)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
Those with issues with 163 or any kernel, try redownloading and flash again. Maybe flash with a different method. There has been many times where I had terrible battery life then I flashed again by download the zip or fast boot flash rather than auto flash and everything was phenomenal.

163 now and I am getting great battery life and zero problems. Super fast. Don't even need power saver or balanced. I am UVed with sr on.

PS Franco. Make a black widget plz!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Ya I flash everything that way I.don't trust the auto flash ( I'm sure works great Franco no disrespect) even rom manager i don't trust had few bad experience in the past and just do it manual now ..... 163 hates my battery, but it is pretty badass for smooth and speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tcchuin:
did you change your green gamma setting to -1 or lower? it's well known that doing so will result in green screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
Would it be possible to add vibration adjustment to your kernel Franco? I saw that trinity had it and it would be nice to lower mine. Vibration is so loud on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohliu:
Franco your kernel (#163) is again incredible.

The standby time which I get with your kernel has always been stellar and unmatched by anything else. I'm not talking about like a 1% decrease every hour, but a 1% decrease in like 4 hours. This is with auto sync on (google, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Tango), both 3G and wifi enabled, and email poll every 15min. Never had a single data drop with AOKP M5 + radio I9250UGLC1.

You seriously rock my world. Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castaway1:
agree. I can wake up my girlfriend becosuse of it :D

btw.i made some franco kernel app widget concept :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellaryt:
Nice:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
As per my initial post on r163 the performance is fantastic, unlock delays and recent app lags are still a thing of the past so it wasn't some clean cache or placebo effect.

Battery seems on par with previous builds but as its during the week I can't be 100% due to the massive factor variants. Sunday I'll be at home (recovering from a big night!) so I'll be able to do my usual comparison under more controlled conditions.

Either way, performance improvements are undeniable. Great work from Franco and Ch33kybutt.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Just checking. Can I just grab the boot.img from the zip and flash? Or does the kernel need the extra scripts to flash properly?

Thanks :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] navodwickra:
grab the boot.img and flash with fastboot:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elban:
I've been flashing the boot.img with mobile odin and it always worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beama:
i had just -2 or -3 an it was ok. But when i wake up the phone, the screen gets green for a sec.

Another thing.

My Clolor multipilers dont load after reboot.

Im using Liquid smooth 1.4 and franco nighly 162 Anyone a idea? is it a problem of the app (4.8) or the kernel or the rom? I dont know.

On liquidsmooth 1.35 and Franco app 4.7 it works with different kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I got the same problem with multiplers since 162

Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
Screen on/standby time ratio looks good at this point with r163. 42% left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnhancerFIN:
None of this worked :S.

I flashed CWM Touch via Toolkit, mounted /data and got access to my internal storage finally. Command adb pull /data/media/ -worked, so I´m now downloading the content of my internal storage to my computer, after this I have to go to stock, and then restore my backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveact:
i got all the problems reported here..

-signal loss happened often,and when it connected again,the signal bar turned blue but there's no data transfer.

i had to turn the airplane mode on and off to fix it

-when i disabled SR,my phone experience SOD and i must pull out the battery

back to 162 for now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
I need to test using my home wifi, but at the office it drops out when the phone sleeps and comes back when I wake it up... Sometime its just grayed out and others its totally off, i.e. no wifi icon at all...

I'm actually trying to download a chunk of my G-Music collection, hence I have noticed the isssue...

PM_FAST doesnt help the situation either...

Before you say it, yes, I have it set to keep on during sleep...

Trying a workaround at the moment, so using the stay awake while charging developer option...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I too get frequent data stalls and have to toggle airplane mode or reboot

So would this help, Franco?

Ezekeel made a test kernel which seemed to fix all the data issues for most people, myself included when I tried it out...(glados kernel page 209 on rootzwiki for anyone that doesn't know)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dracon6ai:
Not pointing this to anyone directly but if your having connection issues there's still a great chance its not the kernel. Issues like weather, gravity fields, or just your service provider doing maintenance or checks on antennas around you (which they NEVER give anyone a heads up) can mess with your signal / connection. Heck when I worked on gunships back in my Air force days I would sporadically turn on max jamming and kill ALL cell signals within 50mile radius just for the heck of it. Not saying that's happening to you but theirs ALOT of things that can mess with radio signals that's not phone related.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before one gets tired!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveact:
i am back with 162 and there's no signal or data loss anymore

and i still use the same rom,black ice build 36..

i don't blame the kernel,i really love your kernel franco.

but that's what happened to me today..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Exactly why I'm not too too worried about my data drops, since I'm about 95%	sure they are messing with the towers around me (supposed to have 4g now but I think they are behind here and the city closest to me is supposed to be one of the next cities to officially be on the upgrade list), if it wasn't for others reporting it a lot too I wouldn't even mention it and the possible fix...

I will try to check dmesg the next time it happens though to see if anything sticks out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beama:
I think its a issue of the new app (4.8) i testet with several kernels (160,162,163,999) but with none of these it the values of the colour multipliers get loaded after a reboot.

can anyone verify that plz?

Just say what ROM, kernel, app version u are using and if the color multipliers values get loaded after boot

thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sing1gnis:
I'm having the exact same problem. Doesn't happen all the time, about 40% of the time, but it is very annoying. Hope you can fix this in the next nightly, Franco.

Other than that, everything else is beautiful. Speed and smoothness all the way around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
Franco app 4.8, franco kernel r163 and liquidsmooth 1.4 rom, color multipliers works after reboot.

Edit. Are you using cm9? I remember that when i was using cm9 and franco kernel, cpu freqs (set via franco app) doesn't load after reboot, maybe same problem with color settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
as opposed to some not so positive feedback about r163, of the last 24 hours I have been using it it has been nice.

no data drop, no SOD, smooth and recent app button so responsive

and battery life about the same as before.

hmm.. i wonder what are the reasons for causing these problems

on AOKP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
r165 coming right up hoping to fix some of those problems!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssglackey:
I had the same issue for months on various kernels on my home wifi, but after replacing router issue is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milden:
r165 is online
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
I don't see it in franco app.

Edit. Nvm, it's there now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
r165

* OMAP patch to fix "SYNC_LOST" dmesg errors

* Increase wi-fi voltage by another 0.25mV (I'll be increasing this until we find the sweet spot)

* Revert "A patch to recalculate the loops_per_jiffy logic from TI"

* A small patch from Google to fix a division by 0 if dhd_watchdog_ms is 0 on the wi-fi driver

This is mainly a fix release, don't expect better performance/battery, just about the same. I've been getting 3h 30m screen on time with stock battery 1750mAh with lots of 3G, pretty happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Wow, I have the extended battery and I get almost two on wifi most of the time :( what's your secret?

Galaxy Nexus & ASUS Transformer Rooted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aper3caper:
Yeah, I want to know too Franco! What kind of settings are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No secret, just no random applications running, I only have what I need.

My settings are the default, not a single change. Oh my brightness is always at 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
depends from how u use ur phone..there is no magical settings

i usually get 4h of screen on time with moderate-high use with stock battery..but using it mainly for chats (a lot), sms, tapatalk, mails, few browsing

if u use it for play games for long time, do many calls, or having to much apps synching in background, or u are on a really bad signal area..it will affect ur screen on time for sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bonvaz:
franco I have a question..sometimes when I unlocked the phone and I write something with keyboard(sms,whatssapp or every app) the touchscreen seems not responsive as usual!!!I don't understand if is a rom problem(aokp),kernel or 4.0.4 problem..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emerica243:
Was Hotplug removed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trixnix:
Me too! I always get 3hrs and 30mins with this kernel! :) stock 1750mah.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes few releases ago. I'm not gonna explain why again, search please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Yes it was in r160 I belive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Yes it was removed because basically the phone does it anyway if it thinks it is a good idea too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rovian:
What sort of problem you guys are having with the Wifi? I have no issues with Wifi whatsoever. though, I see more voltage increase with each update.. or is it just for stability?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beama:
i have liquid smooth 1.4 too. Thats weird.

i do now a fullwipe and new install, than i will see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnhancerFIN:
Now it´s getting interesting. I´m not able to go to stock. I downloaded Odin and the Odin package from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1586807 to put everything to stock, it doesn´t work :S. The phone just shows a picture of the phone, yellow triangle and a computer. Odin detects the phone, but when I start to procedure, it hangs on NAND write start.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billouetaudrey:
What is your configuration franco. App?

Powermode? For have good battery life?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hanny:
hi franco, i dont know whether it is about your app.

just 2 hours ago i was updating my market apps so i went to your app and turn on fast_pm.

but suddenly i found that in your app the "CPU Mode" becomes single core.

(all other settings, cpu freqs, gamma are all running regularly as I desired)

as I was using no power modes, 384/1344 duel core, before and after my update of r163, which is 22 hours ago. this is still the first boot since the kernel update, so the uptime was also 22 hours.

however after every update of nightly i do go to your app settings and check everything is the same as before / running regularly. i am quite sure that after the r163 update it was in duel core mode.

do you think whether it is a problem after updating nightlies (that i have to change the values to another and back to my desired one again to make sure it is set) or something else?

I have no any other cpu-related apps installed on my phone. Only CPUspy. AOKP ROM Settings -> Performance is untouched since the installation of ROM.

oh and by the way, is there an app or something which allows me to see the cores running separately? coz in everywhere i just see their frequencies, which is displayed in one value only :o

thank you very much, and my best regards!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
The app checks to see if cpu1 is online or offline. If its offline it displays as being as single-core mode. But I have to change the behavior or that preference to be more clear.

No, both cores run synced, both with the same frequency.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craz6r:
Battery life between all three(160 162 163) have been fine. This is screen off the whole time. I normally would lose a lot more on stock 10-15%. Compared to my N1 to gauge this off of. Between 7am -8:30am I would lose 2% (Medroid Rom) on the way to work.

The GN, same after playing with the settings a little I get about the same.

On my commute this morning ( off charger ) 7:07 to 9:27 Batt=97% Phone coverage is 3-4 bars the whole way. I know coverage makes a difference.

T-mobile

GN - CM9 20120516 flashed May 17th

Kernel r163 - 512mhz - Had it since yesterday about 12 noon or so

Radio - UGLC1 Flashed two days ago

Cpu Max - 384-1036mhz

Governor - Lazy

Cpu Mode - Dual Core

Power Mode - Power Save

Screen Off - 192Mhz

No data drops outs or SOD's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hanny:
i see, so thats just the display, and justnow while i see the option displayed as single core, it still has the ability to turn on cpu1 if the demand is high because my set mode is duel core.

yeah i also suggest one column for current cpu0/cpu1 statuses and another column for currently *set* cpu mode which the description of that option is not dynamic.

thanks for your work! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LifeInAnalog:
...still a no-go on r165. The signal loss is still occuring, and this time my carrier name (on the notification drop screen) is just "@@@@@" Tried re-flashing, re-booting and wiping cache, with no change. Went back to milestone 3...which is no hardship, cause it's quite simply great.

Just drives me whacko as to why m3 works great but every release afterwards refuses to hold a signal.

...despite the outstanding warrants and restraining orders against me, I'll keep FLASHING FRANCO!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
163 definitely had random signal loss. Hoping 165 wont!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Do you mind sharing what ROM you are using ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Something makes me guess he uses LiquidSmooth for the moment.

I've been talking it up over there on the Rootzwiki CDMA dev forum in several threads, but it would be nice to have a pointer to this thread over there...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
Well so far with 7.1 my drain is significantly less then any other version. Its a lot closer to the stock drain I have been seeing. My hats off to you this is awesome, battery life and performance. This is also the first kernel I've ran that I get no lag when closing the app drawer :).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razzbaronz:
Same here, just linked to it on the AOKP Milestone 1 thread at rootzwiki. I hope more people get to experience this kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
So far so good with 7.1 and the battery.

Will report back my drain overnight for a more accurate outlook on idle battery drain. From what I "feel" though, while using my phone off and on currently is that the problem has been fixed. It is similar to stock.

Great job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t0dbld:
Congrats on nightlys looks like you have been active, how ever whts confusing to me is is the lack of activity in your source code https://bitbucket.org/franciscofranco/galaxy-nexus/changesets no commits in 12 days yet quite a few new builds with changes !! what gives ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lovekhy123:
did this kernal work with ARHD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
ARHD is not 4.0.3, so therefore it does not work. And its kernel not kernal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lovekhy123:
just a typo buddy.. i know, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
Glad to hear it was a typo, I was about to ban you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alanhsu:
My suddenly drained from 30% to 15% in 1 hour. It was fine before that. I tracked batt percentage using systempanel app.

I've been talking about it in the AOKP LTE thread on Rootzwiki :)

its a smooth kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
Hey ... Franco,

The #7 build (the one with cifs) is not draining at all. For me, the idle drain is identical with the stock kernel. I don't see how a cifs module built in can cause additional drain.

Anyway, I'm very happy with 7 and because I need cifs, I'll stay with it for a while.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoraknophobia:
Can only agree with it. Flashed the kernel and this night i dropped i think 3% or 4% in 7 hours which is pretty ok in my eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks alot Franco for all your hard work. I have installed 7.1 (was on stock before), was waiting for drain to be sorted, GTA 3 was working fine on stock kernel,but now on 7.1 it opens then closed immediately, I deleted the data as stated in post 1 and re-downloaded the game data, same thing thou, also reinstalled app.. any ideas? Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjchung:
Incredible battery life! I haven't used Franco's since nightly 4, so using 7.1 over the past few hours has been awesome. 16hr run time, 2hr display on time, with an hour of browsing + about 200mb in downloads, a few phone calls, a podcast, and a few minutes of Sleepy Jack. 50% remaining.

Battery life is as good as stock, maybe a little better.

Bigxie 4 + Franco 7.1 has been the best ROM + kernel combination thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mxzas:
Try rebooting your device after deleting, reboot once again after installling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
Yes, finally it seems the idle battery drain has been fixed in 7.1. #7 seemed to have the drain, tested it briefly and in 30mins time, I had already lost 2-3%.

With 7.1 i have now been on battery for 1hour and still have 100% battery left, although haven't been using the device much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
I've been guilty of "complaining" and making comparisons of this kernel to stock when it comes to battery usage in idle, but I'm really happy to report that 7.1 has fixed this "problem", and even exceeded what the stock kernel has to offer. ;)

antutu dropped to 2700 score, its just me? :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Just as a matter of interest, where are most of the signal drop sufferers from??

What region??

Americas?

Europe?

Asia?

GSM model or cdma?

There must be a pattern because personally I have never had a signal drop on GSM in Ireland.

XXLA2 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
USA here on Verizon LTE cdma, no signal drops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Treatcon:
I've had a few here in Belgium. What happens is I loose cell signal and data of course. A few days ago I was expecting my wife to call and nothing for about 2 hours. I unlocked my phone to check it and no cell signal at all. Usually in my office I have full bars and hspa data. I just rebooted my phone and all was good. Didn't move at all from where my phone had been the whole time. There is no rhyme or reason why it happens. Just everything has been quiet for too long, look at phone and no signal. It's very annoying, but has been happening much less lately. Don't know if it's solar flares, Venus alignment with Jupiter or what??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:

Thankfully I haven't had cell data drops, just the wifi issues...

Seems to be a major issue for me at work, which has been highlighted today with trying to download a good 5GB to G-Music...

Don't seem to have an issue at home, hence thinking that the work router is at least partly to blame...

Just flashed r165 so gonna see if that helps...
