Thanks! Just discovered your LTE GN work. Loved what you did with the HTC Sensation 4G, so I'll try this. The other mainline kernel used around these parts (I know it's not proper to name other works :) ) I feel still has something to be wished for in terms of battery life, so I'm jumping ship to see if yours does the trick for me :)

Great advice, thanks. Only took a ~5% perceivable hit in performance (negligible at best) for a considerable jump in battery life. Between 6:30am and 9:30am, it had only dropped 18% with my normal usage. Before, in that time it would have dropped to about 30%.

Are there any control apps that work with this kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winklie:
I am running version 15 of this Kernel, and I must say that of the 3 or 4 other Kernels I have run I get by far and away the best performance out of this one.

Thank you for this fantastic Kernel. I'll be looking forward to release 16.

As stated in a prior question, is there any app that allows Kernel control? I'm not much for ADB or Linux (I know odd, as I use a Linux phone, but I digress)

Again, thank you, your Kernel has brought my Galaxy Nexus performance back to something similar to me SGS2.

Overnight the battery drops while the phone is supposed to be asleep, when I check what is causing it in the settings menu, It says "cell standby" 37% and "phone idle" 46%.

Can someone help me out. What is the name of this Kernel? This is the 3rd Kernel I've used for my phone, I've always used stock. Well since JB I've been trying out different Kernels. I really like this one, and this is the one I am going to use for now on. Thank you for your time and hard work. My battery thanks you too. After work I usually have 20-40% battery. Since your Kernel(Ultimate SmartReflex Edition) I get about 75% with the same amout of usage.

I just gave the old ICS 4.0.4 version of this a first try on my "new"/"old" Nexus (yesterday) with stock + rooted, and so far I really like that I can now use cifs to get to various disks here and there and also use ipsec VPN's.

Thanks a lot for your work on this. As soon as I read about 12000 more pages of stuff here, I'll move to JB with one of the millions of ROMs around.

Oh yeah: I meant to add that it's really nice using the userspace "echo > /sys/.." commands to do things like enable and disable fast charge when in USB mode. I like the way that works where it doesn't mount up the nexus as a disk when in fast, but as soon as you echo 0 > , it mounts it as a disk again.

Nice stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hachamacha:
Hey thanks. Great kernels.

Have finally switched to JB and am using latest (prior to this one) and love it.

This ROM is really impressive from both the user and hacker/developer standpoint due to the many user settings, and for me, due to the better grade of busybox (or so it seems) and other /system/bin /xbin /usr/bin etc, utilities, like having things like "tar cvjf .. .. " working fine out of the box, and nearly everything I would use in a command shell on linux.

Usually I have to spend about 3 hours cross-compiling utilities to get things to be easily done from scripts or terminal emulator (I use it as an ARM test platform for work related things), but very little extra time is needed with this one. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marine6680:
Been using the smartreflex version on CM9.

Running good so far, but I would like to see the voltages that the CPU is running on... mostly just for curiosity reason. I don't actually want to change then, just see them.

What app can let me do that?

I have SetCPU and System Tuner Pro, I am guessing the smartreflex kernel does not allow voltage control since SR does it for you, and that is why the voltage tab does not show up in SetCPU.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
The only app that I've seen that tells you the SR calibrated voltages is the franco kernel updater app. It works with all the kernels I've tried, including faux's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fr4nk1yn:
I have no idea what that means but I'm flashing. As complex as t sounds I know its awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faux123:
it basically tracks the load average in a better way. The original method is not always able to track threads which migrated back and forth between cpu cores, resulted in phatom loads (some thread's load contribution got counted twice when it migrated). The phatom loads would cause the CPU to either wake up or exhibit higher frequencies to take care of them, but they were not really there.. so extra power were spent for nothing. The new method from Google tracks the thread migrations much closer resulting in much more accurate load average therefore less CPU wake ups or higher frequency spikes.. this will help both performance and battery life.

It was originally designed for Linux 3.5+ but I backported it to work with my hybrid Linux 3.0 kernel. It was quite complex of a backport. I enjoy doing these kind of things...

FIOPS I/O scheduler, AIO optimization and countless other advanced features reserved for only the newest Linux versions are available with my kernel :victory:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
I seem to have the exact opposite reaction to Faux: GREAT battery, but one aspect of performance is really lacking for me.

Only when I have Faux flashed, the auto-orientation of the screen ranges from laggy to totally unresponsive. If I switch to to Franco, for instance, the orientation transitions are instantaneous.

Any way to fix this?

If so, I'd say that Faux would be my #1 kernel.

Hey can someone possibly post some usable governors for this kernal. Im new to this and need some to use with setcpu.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cvv1984:
One more question

So just to clarify I don't have to manually put in the speeds that I wont to use or will I still have to do so. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faux123:
the default is 1.35 GHz max, so if you want to run stock you can use SetCPU/systemTuner to set the Max speed to 1.20 GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
The governor affects clock scaling which allows you to change clock speed (not set min/Max) of the CPU. This is a method used to potentially save battery or deliver better performance at the expense of battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garyhigh:
Question

Just flashed the kernal and so far it's very nice.

Just to make sure I understand, I have a few more questions about SetCPU: I select On Demand governor on the main screen but no need to set up a profile to underclock when the screen is off, correct? Also on the main screen, should I check "set on Boot"?

Thanks for your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faux123:
No need for any profiles with Interactive or OnDemand governors, both will turn off 2nd cpu when not screen is off and both will enter deep sleep when nothing else is running.

Interactive is the default, but if you would like to use Ondemand as default, then use "set on boot" will make it stick every reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coverton341:
All right, having some issues and not sure if it's me or what so here is the situation:

I downloaded three versions of this kernel, all for 4.0.3 which I am running, Version 6 mainline; Version 6 ultimate; and Version 8 beta 4. I wipe cache, Dalvik cache, flash the kernel, let everything load and the apps do the updating thing, everything that the first post says to do. When I reboot the phone for the second time it boots up but just chugs. I mean bad. I am running another kernel for 4.0.3 as my primary but saw that this had much better performance on benchmarks (I don't put much faith in that alone, but thought it would be worth a shot). With this kernel I can't even seem to run a bench mark on some benchmark apps and the ones that will run are so far below what I was using it's ridiculous.

I know it probably sounds like I am blasting the kernel, but that's not my intention, I really want to try it out and I feel like I am either doing something wrong. I am running the exact same frequencies across both kernels, same governor, same everything. Any suggestions, does my chipset just not play well with this kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
I'm having an issue with the 4.0.2 build 8 b4 version on Android Revolution HD, the phone never sleeps draining the battery very quickly. I noticed in the battery stats the phone shows awake for the entire history graph, with almost no screen on. Also the backlight autobrightness is broken too, as in it was working before flashing the kernel, it works after reverting to the previous kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faux123:
Which ROM are you running? I am using 100% stock Google Image and I haven't encountered any of the issues. I am wondering if it is a ROM issue.

Also some ROMs may have "optimize" their RAMdisks to specific settings which may actually hurt the performance of this kernel. I will release a "Reset" kernel which will replace the RAMdisk with stock RAMdisk settings. Hopefully this should resolve all these weird issues you've encountered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faux123:
Not sure why it is doing that... Use SystemPanel or Watchdog from Market to see which app is keeping the phone awake...

I will also release a reset kernel with stock RAMdisk to fix all the funny issues or problems coming from another kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
When I try to wipe Dalvik Cache I get "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" I click on wipe anyway and it say's that it was done. However, once flashed and I reboot phone it is stuck on boot-loop. My guess is this is what's causing the problem, any help would be appreciated.

Here is what I got stock before flashing new kernel

Here is what I got after I flashed and rebooted twice just to make sure everything was good. (NO CPU was changed)

And here is with the CPU set on ON DEMAND

Something doesn't seem right. The phone feels the same to me, the only difference is ONDEMAND it gets hot really fast.

Is your kernel likely to do better than others coping with the mess Google made out of Bluetooth on 4.2.1? I've used others, and BT is simply horrible.
