I must disagree on some of what you're saying.

1. 14-14.3 didn't work at all for me. There was a fair share of people with trouble.

2. Some releases seem to work for a bit and then fail inexplicably, so waiting a few minutes may not be enough to get a feel of something.

3. Of course it can backfail for anyone, but with this way there's a way for those that want to run something that's a little more tested than other releases for those that want a fast and good kernel but don't want to risk as much by running the latest and flashiest.

4. Goes without saying.

Also - support? Hm, if he runs a stable without-dot release and then beta with-dot-release naming it means it's actually easier for him to see where something broke. And when making the changelog for 16 he just chops together all the lines from 15.1 - 15.4 and puts that in the list but 16.1 only has changes from 16.

It's not that much more effort.

But granted, it's entirely up to him what he feels is "effort" and I respect Franco to make his own decision on wether something is useful or not, be it seperated versioning, two trees or just one tree or wether to OC or UV something or anything else.

For anyone on 15.1 and M3, can you test something out of me

I have the power option set to turn off wifi when screen off, after flashing 15.1, wifi never comes back on and stays off.

So when i unlock phone, i briefly see the wifi trying to reconnect and then disappears and never comes back on. i have restored back to 15 to check and it works fine there.

anyone else with this issue?

It's not as though you *have* to flash every release though, is it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
i had one random reboot today. It was a little annoying because after reboot it got stuck at the boot animation screen and I had to do a hard battery pull.

Stock UV, Stock OC, francoTurtle. I was on wifi, put the phone in my pocket, went outside to take the dog out, came back in to find my phone at the boot animation.

I tried grabbing the dmsg but everytime i attempted to copy it to my sdcard it was taking forever (I must be doing something wrong). Do I need to do this in the recovery mode and mount as usb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Just flashed 15.1 from 15.

It seems to cause my wallpaper to lag. If i want to 'downgrade' back to 15 can I just flash it over the top again or do i need to be more clever ?

Note .... i am NOT saying there is a problem with 15.1 .... just that it doesnt suit me quite right at the moment.

All credit to the dev ... there is some fine work going on :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fihlvein:
I've had already 4 hard reboots today. What I did in the morning was:

1) flashed from 29st codeworkx CM9 build to 31st build.

2) flashed from 15 to 15.1 kernel.

Stuck on boot animation once, other times rebooted to android. I've gazelle governor in use, but it also happened with interactive, so running both while rebooted.

Elganja, what ROM you're using?

Forgot to say, I'm now running codeworkx's kernel to rule either one out. Will let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
Codename Android 1.2... I also reflashed 15.1, and noticed it did a reboot right away (never got past the google screen) but then booted up just fine.

Not sure if this is intended behavior (from the cleanup scripts) what have you... franco?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puzzlegirl:
I'm referring to the people who want 'stable' versions and don't want to flash new updates more than once a week/month whatever. I can't personally see the point in having different versions. If you're happy with what you've got, hold onto it and let the flash junkies trial the next update ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
What you describe happens to me sporadically. Generally, my Wifi comes back on after a couple of seconds and is functional but, for some reason, the wifi icon remains "empty" (i.e. zero bars) despite full signal.

This happened with all previous franco.kernel versions so I am certain it is a ROM issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoKushan:
I'm having the same issue, I'm on AOKP M3 and Franco 15.1. It was working just fine before I installed Franco's kernel and he does state that there's a wifi driver in his, so it's entirely possible the kernel is at fault. Going to try a different Kernel and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserprom:
Very stabile kernel, excellent battery life , no reboot for now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoKushan:
Just tried flashing to leankernet and...it's better, but still not ideal. Wifi drops out as before, but not as much. I should point out that I also upgraded to the XXML baseband, so I wonder if it's a combination of those two things?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coleburns:
Good to know that i am not the only one getting this. Back on 15 now and no issues.

i blame CWM for making it so easy, Franco for a being blasted workaholic(keep up the good work buddy) and my addiction to flashing

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Immix:
No problems here whatsoever with the exact same configuration and turtle governor. I did both 1) and 2) last night. Battery life has been amazing so far. Performance did take a little but noticeable hit though. Then again that's because of the battery saver governor. Excellent job Franco.

whats weird is iam getting 1%/hr on airplane, around 25-30ma, no wakelocks. I know i should be getting better, because i have, on f7.1, f12 and f13 and even on apex kernel. I used to get 6-8ma-on airplane, thats 1% every 3-4hrs. I flashed f15, lean1.7.4, f15.1 yesterday, everytime cleaning dalvik and init.d. donno whats wrong......! :(

EDIT:f15.1 dropped to 19ma , lets c how low it goes. So 15.1 is definitely better than f15, becz i was geeting lowest 24ma on f15.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongd:
Just flashed this along with AOKP M3 because faux123's last few kernel updates have been rebooting my phone. Figured I'd make the leap and I'm very impressed!

Just dug through about 30 pages of this thread but I'm still a bit lost with the custom kernels. Can anyone refer to a post where these are broken down with a bit more depth please? I definitely did search and will continue to do so, but you know how the search can be sometimes...

Going to do a full charge and keep testing out the francoGazelle governor. For my screen off profile, should I keep using conservative or change that to the francoTurtle one? Perhaps I'll find my answers soon so don't bite my head off please. New to this kernel and will make a donation as well. I can already see that this is a very polished kernel and I really appreciate franco's work. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Don't use screen off profiles, you don't need 'em with this phone ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roynielsen2000:
Funny, just got the same kind of reboot with stock settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
I don't agree with that idea at all.

A. You can't gurantee any given release is going to be stable for everyone. POINT: I've flashed every single release Franco's ever done for the G.Nexus and not 1 has caused a problem on my phone...so if you asked me they're all stable releases.

B. You can read the changelogs, if you think a release is worth flashing or not is your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weirdg:
Hi Franco,

Love your kernel releases. I loaded v15 the other day, and I noticed the boot animation changed to your custom animation. I noticed in the log for v15.1 you mention you removed your boot animation because you caught some flack for it from several users. I downloaded v15.1 via your app yesterday, and installed it from CWM recovery. Everything seems to be working great, but your boot animation still remains. It didn't go back to the original GNex animation. Any ideas?

WG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
You have to manually change it back, or update your rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oli20021978:
Please use search function.

1) Replace bootanimation.zip in /system/media with the bootanimation.zip from your ROM (you can find it in the zip from the rom)

Better solution:

Place prefered bootanimation.zip in /data/local and this will "overwrite" all the other animations delivered to you by updates / themes etc. :-)

Don't forget to set permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blu33:
haha my first name is franco :D my middle name is =-O....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
It replaced the bootanimation.zip in system/media. Copy a zip of a boot animation that you like there and overwrite it.

Thanks guys. I guess I assumed the kernel update would switch things back to the original boot animation. Guess not. Anyway, I switched it back with root explorer and set the permissions. Thanks for the help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Northernmost:
I duly downloaded and installed 15.1 (thanks Franco!) this morning via the app and noticed higher than expected battery drain when "doing nothing". We're only talking about 3% per hour mind you.

After looking in CPU Spy I saw the device was in deep sleep for only 10 minutes out of 5 hours up time. I jumped in to BetterBatteryStats and partial wakelocks were fine but kernel wakelocks were showing wlan_rx_wake as the likely culprit. Also the time it takes me to walk to work (i.e. out of wifi coverage) is 10 minutes so that looked to explain the 10 minutes of sleep it enjoyed.

So I did a few highly (un!)scientific tests with wifi on (connected and showing 2 bars) and off. These consisted of:

1) CPU Spy open, wifi already on, clearing CPU Spy stats, immediately switching the screen off for 5 minutes and then refreshing CPU Spy after the 5 minutes were up. Result: 1000, 700, deep sleep - 3, 92, 3%

2) CPU Spy open, wifi already off, clearing CPU Spy stats, immediately switching the screen off for 5 minutes and then refreshing CPU Spy after the 5 minutes were up. Result: 1000, 700, deep sleep - 0, 8, 91%

That was on kernel 15.1. On 15 I did the same tests again and got:

1) Wifi on: 1000, 700, deep sleep - 2, 35, 61%

2) Wifi off: 1000, 700, deep sleep - 2, 7, 90%

I'm now back on 15.1 and managed to replicate the first lot of results.

So, to my little mind, it looks like the new wifi driver in 15.1 is stopping deep sleep when it's on *and* connected to an AP but allowing sleep when wifi is on but not connected.

My setup:

Governor: turtle @ 700-1000.

UV: no.

Hotplug: on.

ROM: AOKP Milestone 3 (4.0.3 natch)

Baseband: XXKL1 (GSM)

WiFi when screen off: keep on.

Anyone else care to don their white lab coat and try similar testing? I'll try and do the same once back on the home wifi just in case it's something AP related.

Edit: the 3% deep sleep time in the very first test was likely down to my making a coffee in our kitchen - there's no wifi coverage in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Thanks for the valuable feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oli20021978:
Same settings. Same baseband......no problems with deep sleep. Made two tests (a 5 min)

Just not really sure about the meaning of 4.0.3 natch. :-) I am on AOKP Milestone 3.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zurchpet:
sudden random reboots

FuguMod is/was suffering from the same. Phone reboots and is stuck on bootanimation.

Cause is most probably the Wifi driver. Nikademus is testing some kernels. Right now we're testing FuguMod r89.

Maybe Franco should revert the new Wifi driver until the bug is found and squished.

Didn't have a reboot so far with r89.

EDIT: the humongous wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock is caused by the new Wifi driver too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fihlvein:
Reboots stopped for me when not using 15.1. Been connected to WLAN during each reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Northernmost:
Dat dat Shetlander. It can't be a location thing either then - I'm in Lerwick du kens ;-)

Must be something else going on then. Quite what... I'm no sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongd:
Oh yeah? Sweet! :cool:

Any detailed documentation or posts that break down how your custom governors work? I just charged my phone to 100% and I'm letting it do it's thing here at work. No problems with deep sleep like some others have reported. It's too soon to give constructive criticism and feedback but from what I've seen so far it's polished off very well. Thanks so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stesmi:
A. Then you'd be one of the people without problems but others may be experiencing issues. I don't see a problem with you not having problems.

B. Of course you can read changelogs and all pages of this thread.

Point is - Some people are like you and me - they flash stuff, quite often. They read the threads, they participate. Sometimes we're helpful to Franco, sometimes we're not.

But then there's the people that want the best kernel out there but they don't have the inclination and/or time and/or understanding to read this long thread. That's why we see the same questions asked over and over.

My proposal does in no way or shape make it any worse for you and me.

It does however show to those that have less knowledge / time / whatever to just wait for the next stable to show up on page 1 and grab it.

Looking at my example it would mean 15.4 would be classified as "stable" because people cease having issues with it, he then renames it 16. On the front page is a new no-point kernel that those people will then download.

Then when 16.1 comes out the same people will see that it's a development-kernel and not a stable kernel and they won't download it for that same reason. They'll wait until 17 comes out.

I don't see why this is in any way worse for those that download everything, it only makes it simpler for those that don't.

And it can even be extended to the following : The app has two download buttons. "Download latest stable." and "Download latest beta."

This actually makes a few things better for everyone:

Some people don't know stuff, yet they post, sorry to anyone I offend with this but it's true. If they see the big Beta sign and then it blows up they will know they downloaded the Beta and next time they'll stick to Stable.

Where when it blows up for me I'll try to figure out where it went wrong and give a more detailed report than that.

And feel free to disagree with me, I don't expect everyone to think like me but apparently there's at least a few that do, and obviously at least a few that don't.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Seems to be fixed with his latest commits since I'm been having wifi on and connected to my AP in the last 1h and 11m and I have 91% deep sleep and the rest spent on frequencies when I used the phone. The wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock is showing only as being held 3% of the time, so I guess it's fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
This is an interesting idea indeed. I'll think about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stesmi:
I am assuming you read the first bit that I wrote earlier but if for some reason it was missed : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22051171&postcount=5051

First time posting in this thread. I love the kernel, thank you. Just wanted to post a quick note that my battery life on #15.1 seems to be a decent amount worse than it was on #14.4. I use all stock settings. With some quick checking around, I can't seem to see why battery is worse as my phone is still sleeping most of the time when screen is off, but just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laserprom:
I have same result.14.4 have better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vnphantom:
May be it's just me but Franco #11... Yes, #11! Gave me the best battery both idle and screen on... So I kept flashing back to #11. Great kernel either way!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meilstone:
wanted to report that my battery life was better on #15 than #15.1. there is also a huge drain when hearing music. About 15% in 15 mins

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caust1c:
Really liking your kernel and how actively you seem to be working on it! Was really happy to donate! Now being that I wasn't one to send the hate mail regarding the boot up animation, any chance you can make it available for manual insertion? (If that is possible) Would be nice to have the option sin e the from I use just has stock animation!

Thanks for the hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes, later today I'll link it in the OP.

#15.2 is out, reverted to the old wifi driver that worked flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
I see what your saying and it makes sense even though in my head I'm banging my brain against a wall because of the need to do it, due to people who don't want to do their homework and want to take shortcuts. (Highly ironic because the Nexus is supposed to be a 'developer' phone yet people with either no technical knowledge or no motivation to do things right buy it and then complain)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renaud:
never assume it's fixed after 1 hour, I have been running the updated drivers for about 16hours before getting a reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I wasn't assuming it did fix the reboots because I haven't got a single reboot since I updated them, I was saying that the entering sleep with wifi connected seemed fixed considering what users were reporting. As I never had a reboot I couldn't say if that was fixed or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddieN:
I conducted some thorough testing with the apex rom and omoseynes kernels 1.7.1 and 1.7.4 as well as with franco's 15.1, as well as AOKP M3 with francos 15.1 but got varied results. I don't want to spam this forum with what could be (and probably is in this case) OT. PM me if you want to see and help me decide what to do. I'm suspecting it's a rom/app issue.

Thanks for your time though!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
To be honest I don't like this kernel either . 13.1 was the best when it comes to battery life. However 14.4 was the smoothest and snqppiest ever. No gliglithes or anything and battery was quite good. With new 15.1 the turtle governor is way to slow and performance is poor with gazelle well performance is OK but not as good as in 14.4 but battery sucks ...
