I managed to make governor and clock speed stay after reboot, but it's not by franco's app, it's under the rom control performance setting in AOKP.

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------

franco said he was coding it when he was sleepy, therefore the manual color setting didn't work, he'll fix it!

and just to check, are most of you guys using the older recommended colors or the newer one? and any good values to recommend? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukasb9000:
I'm using -10 0 10 and 182 190 200; that looks good for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamor414:
Will my phone run cooler and longer if I use this kernel and undervolt?

I'm running hot and I'm used to a cold HTC Incredible so I'd like the temp to decrease.

On 4.0.2 and about to flash a 4.0.3./4.0.4 ROM.

I hope heat doesn't become an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikosrs4:
I'm using 180, 195, 230 and -10, 0, 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Test image for what? You can test on your own screen, much more efficient :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jrbourque:
So I know 700 for low saves battery when phone is in sleep...but does it use more battery when phone is on and being used ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
both looks nice but it's slightly yellowish to me :(

I'm still using 143, 158, 194 with RGB gamma of -8, 0 and 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maguire11:
I don't use volume plus. Any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gabriel Audemard:
I too have been thinking that a "test picture" could help when adjusting the color. Somthing with a spectrum of different colors in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrox1:
Exactly, so as you adjust the controls for the colour, you have real time change on your own specific screen, with a test picture so you get the best ideas of colours. Which as we know all screens are slightly different, and allows the individual to get the best for their screen.

This is a gamma test

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gammatest.svg

Left side of circle should disappear into background, right side should stand out.

Supposedly best to use black background.

And this is a web page full of different colour tests.

Just deployed an update for the app, manual color set works now, sorry for the inconvenience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Thanks man. Keep up the great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
thanks for the advice..... I had to do it.... now all is well! Thank you to everyone for your hwlp:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Like some others I'm experiencing some problems regarding the "Increase maximum volume" option.

If set it hardly makes a difference through a headphone any time I start a music player. When I get a notification the setting suddenly kicks in and the music is real loud.

It does this if the max volume is set with franco's app, but also if I set it through Volume+.

I can get around by creating a notification by and then it works just fine (until i leave the music app and start it up again)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Can you reproduce that with the value "13" on my app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Value 13 seems to work just fine :-O Didn't reproduce it... I'll reboot and test some more... Magic 13 ;-)

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Just rebooted and it works perfectly... Value 13 is a keeper :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
yes,imoseyon says that,already red,but i don't think it's right.i always read what jen-willem says,red many times TI specs and omap4460 specs,never ever read what imo's says..anyway if it's true the fact of a bug in pcb hope too in a fix from TI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Just like I thought :)

It's a bug in the hardware, I'm pretty sure no fix is coming from TI unless they replace all the GN's hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
That was magic but can you explain why at 13 it works and f.i. at 15 it doesn't? Something in the GN that causes the differentiation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raniosman:
Holy crap! 18.6 is a godsend. You've really outdone yourself on this one Franco.

I've been running it on full brightness for close to 17 hours now, with wifi on and screen on for close to 1.5hours of total time on and it's only down to 66%.

As a student, it's difficult to show some appreciation at times and in all my 5-6 years of using developer software, not once have I done that. However, you just became the first and just bought your app :D.

Continue the brilliant work, brother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timafey:
I have my brightness set to 40% everything stock on AOKP 27 build. The maximum i can get is 2 hours of screen on time. Any suggestions on what i can do to fix this? My android os awake time was almost 4 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hovnovice:
Waw ! you are very lucky to get theses performances ! On which rom you are pls ? do you have special setups or just the kernel as is when downloaded.. I am on 4.0.4 from PaulO Brian , with 18.6 interactive , hot plug ,but the battery performances are far from yours ... real far ... thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raniosman:
Hey, really? lol

I am using AOKP Milestone 3 with 18.6 on Conservative. I have only changed the battery voltages in 18.4 but haven't checked to see if they were carried over to 18.6, GPS location and NFC are off, and the hot plug off (I just bought the franco app, so now I have access to hot plug). Everything else has so far remained the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simone87stilo:
I also use these values ​​and the screen is very nice

I'm using 180, 195, 230, -10, 0, 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solarus2011:
Can confirm. I had the same problem, then un-installed Volume+ and enjoying loudness at 10 thru 13 :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MFD00M:
just sharing my color control settings...saw a thread where this was recommended.

color multiplier: 182, 190, 200

gamma: -10, 0, 10

Best i've seen for my phone at 50% screen brightness.

First day on this kernel i had bad battery life, after a full battery cycle on the second day of use it finally settled and battery life is much better.

Great work senior franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
Using AOKP build 27 and no matter what frequency or governor I choose it always starts with 700-1200 conservative.

Set in boot is checked and performance settings on ROM control is untouched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
Works flawlessly on my phone! thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MFD00M:
thats francisco's default min value. try it out, it actually works quite well.

EDIT

not sure if i misread your post, but does it stay at those values even if you try to change it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
For me resets them after ever reboot. Its annoying because I have to use the aokp built in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
Yes, I think this values are great but I'm using Any.do and seems a bit laggy. I was trying to raise the max to 1350 but it always revert to 1200.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] insanemal:
What the hell are you on about? The Binning and the different models is in the TI Spec.

THAT IS WHAT IMO's USING TO DETECT WHICH MODEL YOU HAVE DATA FROM THE SPEC SHEET.

and if its a PCB bug.. the only way to "fix" it is to replace the pcb..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MFD00M:
That is strange...I'm OC to 1350 and i rebooted to check and its still at 1350. I'm using Black Ice (themed AOKP kang)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
Really odd, I just did a fresh and clean install and got this issue. Didn't want to use rom control since we got already franco app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I've been trying to fix that **** for too long, I dont' understand why it doesnt work for others as it works for me -.-

By the way if anyone wants to try 19 test build go here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/106873500108976028532/posts/DtoxLvadudi

I won't answer to 19 bug reports, feedback, crying, whatever you remember to whine about in this topic because I'm getting ready for 18.7 then milestone release, but in the mean time users can have a smell of nightly 19. You've been warned, no discussion about 19 in this topic, only at google+ topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Oh I'm all over that.. nandroid time! 18.6 is the milestone in my opinion. Xda app is being silly so no pics yet but I've gotten 3 days in a row consistently getting 4h screen on and 16+ hours standby.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blzounem:
Using franco updater? Have a update from him to resolve this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
i don't want any overclocking. i just want to get rid of the yellow tint on my screen, and boost my volume (though volume+ works great for everything except incall)

i'm currently running glados, but i don't really see any changes when using the color control files, and it never sticks through a reboot.

so i'm thinking of going back to the stock kernel and then flashing this if it will help with the two things that i want. running codename android rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opensourcefan:
Okay just reporting back. Since release 12, 18.6 is giving me the best battery life ever. All my settings and habits stay about the same so I am confident that it's for real. The only thing that has changed has been the AOKP ROM version. I'm running 18.6 at the default parameters. With volume up to 15 and high performance off. Really though non of the numbers mean anything other than my battery life is about 20-30% better. As I like to stick with what's good I will most likely stay here unless a new feature moves me forward like the volume fix did in this case. This is a solid kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Colorcontrol behaves pretty much the same way on GlaDOS and Franco. It works on both and does not stick after reboot with both. You can make it stick using a script at boot to make it stick and set the colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
honestly, i've noticed no change at all on glados. i tried 6 different suggestions and didn't notice any real change. still nasty yellow tint. so thats why i'm thinking of using this since from what i've read, theres an app to modify the colors instead of having to modify the files.

and how hard is it to make one of these scripts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
You probably didn't disable the safety feature to allow multipliers over 200.

change the 1 to a 0 in sys/class/misc/safety_enabled to allow multipliers over 200...

Then change values in the file below and save changes in a text editor. You will notice a change immediately after saving the text file.

sys/class/misc/multiplier

sys/class/misc/v1_offset

Or if you already have Franco app then you can use that to change colors on GlaDOS too.

But yeah, try Francos', it's great too.

EDIT: Making the settings "stick" is not hard. You can do it like this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22805770&postcount=138

... Or make your own file in init.d
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] widfeldt:
Just wanted to say that 18.6 seem to work really good for me with good stability. I've been on 13.1 until now, i've tried several versions in between but always reverted to 13.1 for stability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
13.1 was special. Nothing has been as fast and stable on my phone since 13.1, including 18.6.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Just wait and see what franco has for us... :) the soon future is looking good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianboy9:
Will the Volume booster mod also increase the volume of calls over a Bluetooth headset/speaker?

If so, then I could potentially completely get rid of the separate Volume+ app.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenzip:
Franco have a question for you...I know that HotPlug mode can be useful to save battery because when screen is off this function disable one core of CPU right?

So, I ask you if the frequency of screen off/screen on is very high, turn on dsplay read clock, turn off display... continuously, 30-40 time a day, Hotplug mode drain more battery then it save?

I think that because turn on continuously CPU maybe can drain battery...

correct me if I write something wrong :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mondfahrer:
Hi franco,

I am not sure what happened to 18.6 but it look like something fixed my signal drop issue. I am running milestone 3 with xxkl1 (O2 in uk) and had a lot signal drops during the day but I noticed that this issue disappeared.

Do you have any answer to this?

It turns on the high performance mode of the chip. Default it's set for low power mode. I believe in high performance mode you get a higher signal to noise ratio among other benefits.

thanks for the help. i'll try to the app with glados and if i don't see any changes i'll go switch over to franco. thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supercluver:
My recent observance

First off, Franco I love your kernel, have been an avid user since your first kernel for the Nexus S. Couldn't wait for you to make one for the Galaxy Nexus.

I noticed on Feb 29th on 18.6 (coming from 18.5) that it seemed like my battery life was noticeably lower. I saw the same thing March 1st. So the evening of March 1st I switch back to 18.5 and have used this all day today. Attached are two screen captures showing battery usage for the past two days (I charge overnight). I changed nothing else to my phone, my franco.updater app settings were all the same (700-1350, conservative governor, slightly undervolted, hotplug mod enabled, no logging) both days.

You can see on the March 1st screen capture the steady battery decrease all day while on 18.6. I'm at work, and really don't use my phone much so it just sits on my desk by my laptop. Maybe 30 minutes screen time. I rebooted when I got home from work (the first small drop in the battery line) but the drain seemed the same. Awhile later I flashed 18.5 back (wipe cache and dalvik like I ALWAYS do) and battery really flattened.

The second screen capture is from today while running 18.5. Everything is the same, I'm sitting in the same spot by my desk, and I've barely used my phone, about 30 minutes again. And there is a notable difference in battery life. Note the difference in signal strength for wifi and cell at the time the screen shot was taken was due to me being at home vs. in my office at work.

I'm not complaining, just wanting to share what I've observed. I look forward to future releases and just want to do whatever I can to help this be the best kernel for the GN. Love your work Franco, many thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maguire11:
So for some reason my idle on 18.6 sucked. I would lose around 2 to 4 percent an hour idle.. Everything else was great though. On a 12 hour spree I had 3h15 screen on with 4 hours poweramp when the screen was off. I just flashed 13.1 to see what the fuss was about.

weird how you guys are having battery issues with 18.6

im at 14 hours / 1 hour 51 min screen time and at 67%

Yesterday with my extended battery (GSM 2000) just under 6 hours screen time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timafey:
i think something is wrong, i didn't install any new programs, but my battery drains way faster than it did with 13.1. Looks like android os is taking up way too much battery. Any solutions for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
6hour screen on time is unrealistic. you probably used the phone for 6 hours straight on wifi or airplane mode and on minimum brightness.

comments like this are why people keep saying their battery life sucks because they only got 3 hours of screen time which is completely normal.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

you should install betterbatterystats (free version on xda) and see what wakelocks are using this much battery juice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
If you bothered to read rather than just be an ass you would have read that I have an extended battery. I got close to 6 hours. "Close" the key word. And I use half brightness 700 MHz to 1350 MHz and interactive gov. Nothing special. I was using 13.1 for a very long time and 18.6 has been noticeably better. Sorry to give you this awful news.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taney:
no reason to flame anyone here.

thing with kernels is: YMMV

because some people are on different ROMs, settings, apps, etc.

but with my set up (AOKP latest builds + Franco kernel - default settings), I can say that 18.5 was much better in terms of battery life.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Would love to see this personally
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SrTapir:
I´m also having an excellent battery life. The problem comes with the screen's device and the 4G. The people that have problems just try disable data on 4G and force it to be 2G, the change is brutal.

This is why the battery goes dawn like a devil when the phone is in use and the screen on (we all normally surf or use internet), and nearly zero when it´s on stby.

My opinion is that the drain it's not kernel related, it's OS-4G-big screen related.

My config with location enabled, 4G, Wifi always ON, hotplug enabled, 1350-700Mhz and all the UV I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opensourcefan:
Pretty sure he said extended battery. Even though I don't have one I would think 6 hrs is reasonable considering I'm around the 4hr mark of screen on time with the stock battery with my current setup.

I'm on 28 hrs, slightly less screen time in the evening than usual, but still very good for me. 5%	drop over 8 hrs sleep. Screen on 2.5 hrs.

Mcr ir11 pre b3, 1000-350 mhz, interactive, hotplug, no profiles, bfq scheduler, auto brightness, and wifi off most of the time, but 3g+ data on all the time.

76% deep sleep for CPU. 6650 antutu score.

Franco, do UV settings stick on reboot? And if they do is there any way to prevent it, rather than re flashing the kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.tulley:
No still sounds like BS. the extended battery is 15% bigger ffs you are not going to get 50% on top of what you are getting from a 15% higher capacity battery!

I can only assume (if he has a screenshot and is not lieing about 50% brightness) it was sitting on a black screen or something.

I have about 40% brightness, extended battery and I'm happy with anything above 3hours

Maybe I am missing something but the majority of

normal

battery consumption is the ACTUAL LIGHT being chucked out of the screen and being as theres no screen undervolting or anything going on its unlikely to suggest somehow the screen is using less power for the same brightness!

The key to battery life is tweaking background activities via Kernel or otherwise to help every other drain except the screen on drain.

For those not getting good AOKP and franco 18.6 battery consumption in standby I would say give it a FULL wipe and try again.

Screen-off time has gone back down to 1% for 8 hours for me again finally. Thanks Franco. (Wifi, 3g, email sync 1hr'ly, sig setup)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I wasn't being an ass just expressing my opinion. And yes I did read that you have the extended battery but I stand corrected.

If I remember correctly stock battery is 1850 and extended is 2000mah which is an 8% improvement. Now assuming you generously rounded up from 5:30, stock battery should get a little over 5h of screen time on your phone. That's VERY special. As I stated earlier, you can only achieve that stat if you unplug your phone at 100% and use it for 5 hours straight on wifi (give or take).

If you got 5h of screen time on a mix of 3g and wifi with an average 8-16 hours of idle (which is how the majority of use use our phones) then good for you but I personally don't buy it unless I see some proof. I'm not trying to make it a contest or anything but what you're claiming is simply not possible under normal conditions.
