Otherwise, do the following...

Backup your current setup, then restore the nandroid you made that has francokernel 14.4 or whatever you were running prior to 15. (You DO backup before flashing new kernels and ROMs, right???)

Copy the bootanimation.zip from /system/media and stash it someplace on your "SDcard" where you'll be able to find it.

Restore back to your most recent nandroid with francokernel 15. Copy the bootanimation.zip you just stashed away to /data/local and delete the one you find in /system/media.

Reboot. You are now back on whatever boot animation you had prior to the installation of francokernel 15.

Enjoy francokernel goodness with the animation of your choice...

Hey Franco I'm not sure if this means much to you, but as a fan I've really liked your kernels. I'm running Liquid ICS on my CDMA G-Nexus and can't seem to get 15 or 15.1 to work on it for some reason. 14.4 worked perfectly before, but your latest doesn't. Any idea what the issue could be? It's an obvious compatibility issue, but is it something that'll could take a lot to fix/change. I'm asking this because I don't have any knowledge of kernels like that....so why not ask a pro you know....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Probably because of ramdisk changes on my .zip. Check with your favorite rom dev to look into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
Just went to 15.1 from 14.4 and my phone seems faster even though I'm running at 1000 Max instead of 1200 like before.

Great work dude keep it up!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MalaysianMafia:
Ugh I'm back on 13.1 again because everything up to 15 has been giving me a freeze at the Google screen on reboot...

Franco any idea why its only happening with 14+?

Yea id like to see the boot animation colors inverted. Would be pretty slick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynastySS:
Thanks Franco!

Do you suggest keeping it at the 700/1000 francoturtle? Or would I eek more with 350/1000 francoturtle?

muito obrigado.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neverhappy:
Lol. I don't need to worry about battery life. I can no longer wear down my battery before a new kernel is out and I'm loading it. ha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Bootanimations will be made available for flash in the OP later today, both white and black backgrounds, and they will be available from the app as well, I only removed them from the .zip.

I recommend 700/1000.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TMFGO45:
Franco has stated publicly he does not like 350

I'm gonna stick with you because 15.1 has that script to clear stuff and it booted up OK so I'll just avoid restarting if at all possible....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkKnight62:
since the boot animation has been removed in 15.1 how do i change mine to get the default aokp unicorn boot animation instead of franco's from 15?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DammitCubs:
Do you recommend 700/1000 for both the FrancoTurtle and FrancoGazelle? I see that both governors are set to 1000 max frequency.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Ask over in AOKP's thread for someone to give you the boot animation and then just push it.

15.1 seems really great so far. I've been running it with AOKP milestone 3 for a few hours without problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
It is cool things (^like doing this^) that make this forum great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
Franco - #15.1 is running great. Seems snappier now on 700/1000 than my phone did previously on 14.x with 700/1200 set. Nice job. I like faux123's work but it just didn't seem to work as well for me as your kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
This is for all the doubters. Yes, the beginning is 8 hours of sleep, unplugged it at night. The rest is normal use with over 4 hours on screen time. And I had everything on GPS, Bluetooth, 4G etc. Good job Franco.

FYI (This is on 13.1)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
So I know Franco has said he prefers 700 as the min slot... is that for battery life reasons or performance? I've been able to undervolt my 350 slot substantially more than my 700 so I would think that would be my best bet. I don't care too much about performance I'm more concerned about battery life...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycdiplomat:
This is on Franco's #12....just flashed 15.1 and I'm confident that I won't be disappointed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayharper08:
I've cleaned the thread from earlier today. There seems to be a lack of respect. If a developer is working his ass off to provide you with something and you do not like it, don't use it. Do not come in here and try to start trolling and getting a rise out of people. If it happens again, there won't be infractions, there will be bans. If you have a question about the specific rom and/or kernel then ask, but do not come in here with an attitude saying someones work is not up to par and does not meet members' standards. I will only say this once.

I love with this kernel, not sure why you got so much hate mail over the boot ani. I hate the aokp boot animation with a passion.

Either way this kernel is amazing, great work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GermanGuy:
You are kidding me! You actually like that boot animation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Charm8er:
I am using the same ROM Gummy .7.0. I wiped cache and dalvick then flashed kernel and all went well for me.

I am loving the combo so far. Everything seems very smooth. And I think the colors look much more accurate now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Yes many do and appreciate franco so we like to rock his bootanimation! What's so better? Nothing there all boring after seeing them twice so lets keep our unappreciative comments to ourselves

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
He was referring to the Unicorn boot animation...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foueddyf:
I just flashed 15.1 but when I go in SetCPU to change governor, the min-max are set to 350-1200 for all governors. I thought gazelle and turtle were supposed to have their min-max set to 700-1000 by themselves?

Not really a big deal, I just set the freq manually to 700-1000. Very smooth :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
Many people don't like having boot animations forced on their device because either they like having the freedom to choose one that fits them or simply does not like making their phone look like a mobile billboard. For me its the same as Verizon putting their damn logo on my Nexus. Every one and their mother wants to highlight their work on peoples personal devices. Some may say its to show respect to the developer but if that was the case I would have 150 different monikers all over my phone.....1 for every developer of every app I have. I prefer to show my gratitude by donating. Such as when I purchased Franco's app from the market.

As far as people throwing out jabs. I fully believe in constructive criticism. Threads that only contain compliments are useless. Nothing is perfect and good constructive criticism will only make the work in progress that much better. Its the idiots that throw dumb **** comments on these threads that need to be banned. Saying that "this rom/kernel/mod sucks" is one of those comments. It gives no useful information what so ever, shows immense disrespect to the developer (and his/her supporters) and are usually given by idiots that don't have the brain power or maturity to conduct themselves like respectable adults.

Just my 2 cents. Love this kernel and truly appreciate the continued hard work in developing it.

Still getting no wake sometimes using the "hotplug" option in your kernel updater. Other than that, conservative governor is going great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
I'm getting decent performance, but my battery life is worse then stock on #10. Android OS has kept the device awake for (somehow) longer then it's even been turned on. I dropped 15% in 60 minutes without the screen even being on (under 30 seconds of screen time).

Also, does anyone happen to know the fix to get GTA3 running again? I'm having the same issue as a few others and it just closes itself the second I open it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I'm very new but users are saying that its a rom issue. The same kernel is getting great to horrible battery life depending on what rom there on. I saw someone report great battery life using gummy so I just flashed it. Hope battery holds up but only time will tell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Could be, I flashed the ROM and kernel at the same time. I'm running the latest Bugless Beast nightly because frankly I want the closest thing to stock 4.0.3 that exists. I really dislike bloated extra features.

I'm really liking the performance of this kernel, so I'm hoping it just isn't "settled in" or something, but at this rate my phone will be dead before lunch time once it's off the charger tomorrow :(

Edit: According to CPU Spy, my device is no longer even going in to deep sleep with this kernel. I don't know how accurate that can be, though - my "battery usage" shows that the phone is only awake when the screen is on. Setting my minimum frequency to 350 or 700 doesn't seem to make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jknisley:
Turn off location services in the "Location" setting. It's the third tick box down. Helped my battery life tremendously. Mentioned it on the GSM thread, thought I'd mention it here, too, since I"m actually on LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcampbell:
How do those show up on on BBS?

That, of course, is unrelated to the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] igotgame:
I see more awake time in the battery stats when I am on WiFi than when I am on 3g... how is that possible? I have the WiFi scan interval set to 180 as well. Nothing in better battery stats looks out of the norm either. I don't get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crupp:
Every once and awhile when unlocking the screen (slider) the phone freezes for a 2-3 seconds and then unlocks. Unless after hittting the power button I wait a second or two. Anyone know what would cause this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
You low end may be too low. are you using the kernel stock or are you using a cpu manager? If you are using a manager, you may need to bump the low end up as the phone is having a hard time waking.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

Your results may be app dependent. A lot of apps have sub menus that make the phone download more data, update more often or download higher quality items when on WiFi. Therefore, on WiFi, the phone will update more often with larger files. Check to see if there are certain programs running more often. They do this so that people without unlimited won't kill their data plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crupp:
that may be it. I had Set CPU set at 350, conservative. I bumped it up to 700, we'll see if that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
350 should be fine, 700 is too high. Did you mess with voltage at all? Also, is this new to this kernel or did it happen before? Did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the update? Sorry about all the questions, but it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crupp:
Stock voltages. It has been an issue since I started using Set CPU (may have to go back to stock). Wiped everything before installing the kernel, you think maybe a Cache and Dalvik wipe again? I wish there was something in between 350 and 700, but there isn't
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
700 is the default kernel low speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I would disable setcpu, uncheck set at boot and then clear setcpu data in settings-apps, then reboot into recovery and wipe wipe cache and dalvik. See if that helps. If it does, re-enable setcpu and monitor.

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

I am talking about the lowest kernel slot, that is 350.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
gotcha, sorry if I added any confusion
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
No worries. You are absolutely right that the kernel runs most of the time at 700.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crupp:
So anything below 700, theoretically, should improve battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
I thought I read somewhere that the difference, in voltage required, to run 350 and 700 is so small, that it is negligible

Hey guys just noticed I'm trying to edit pics or add wallpapers from gallery and it says failed to load pictures and won't allow me to. Thus happens only on Franco's kernel, I know because I've tried 3 different ones. Anyone else having this glitch, would like to know.

And I only want to use farancos as his is the best!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dynamicpda:
I believe what FranciscoFranco means is that a cache maybe dishing out to you older nightlies when you think you are getting the current one.

Some ISPs cache content transparently using squid proxies. Or it could be done by the institution providing your internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbdan:
I experienced this too tonight. Only one folder (with wallpapers) was corrupted. Maybe it has something to do with the cleaner thingy :confused:

I have my sdcard backed up to my PC at all times so no big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EyeOfTruth:
I agree with the second part but I look at it like this about the boot animation IF Im running this kernel and I dont like francos boot animation I can always change, either to stock or some other animation or what not. Thats one of the benifites of being rooted. Whats the difference of when CM changes the bootanimation I know on gummy he just recently changed the boot animation.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LexusBrian400:
I like the kernel.. But I hate the forced boot ani. Thats just my opinion. Hope I don't get BANNED. After all, aren't opinions the reason forums were created to begin with? I'm not sure how much flaming went on, I wasn't here, but knowing XDA I'm sure it was extreme. (This site definitely has a reputation for that) But if people aren't allowed to say they dont like something the dev does... In a PROPER fashion... then what is the point of having a forum?

I dont condone flaming of any kind, especially to devs, but I definitely get the gripe with the boot ani. When I first flashed the kernel, I saw no mention of the boot ani in the OP (maybe I missed it). TBO I was kinda jacked cuz I HAD a great boot and now I cant seem to locate it again. Oh well... My problem.

BTW Franco, I bought your app not for getting fast updates to your kernel, but to simply show my support for your work. Its nice to have so many dedicated devs who do this for next to nothing as far as $ goes. Every Friday I pick a random dev, even if I dont use his/her work and I donate to them. It gives them motivation. I wish more of us end users would do the same thing... its only a few bucks to us, but to the devs, its inspiration. 90% of the time, the money doesn't matter. The gesture however, DOES.

tl:dr Thanks for the kernel Franco. Damn you for the surprise boot animation (kidding), USERS, Donate!

Play nice kiddos :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SicMe:
Backed up also. As soon as I update to any other kernel, my files ate readable. When on Franco, they corrupted. Tear.

Any fix??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
He took the boot animation off on his latest update due to complainers :cough: you must have flashed an older version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
If you have titanium backup, locate the gallery app and click on it, then choose "wipe data" this will re-cache everything. Usually when I have a weird anomaly I do this and 99% of the time solves the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
I've been messing with the color settings for a while now and I can't seem to get my blacks, black. A lot of images that should be black look more purple. Anyone have any suggestions?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skyboxer1968:
I've tried a lot of different kernels but keep coming back to franco. The stock kernel AOKP movement lasted about 5 minutes with me.

I don't understand the uproar over the boot animation. I don't like any at all, and delete whatever one is in my system/media folder.
[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?

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

I also reflashed 15.1 after my random reboot, 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] TEK112:
Did you wipe dalvik and cache after the kernel install? I have noticed with some of Franco's kernels that after install a wipe of dalvik and cache need to be done again. Meaning wipe dalvik, wipe cache install kernel, reboot system, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik. This has cleared up little snags I experienced in the past, but mainly fixes the issue where the device won't deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
i didn't do the wipes a second time like you mentioned, only before installing the kernel.

I'm going to hold off on doing it again, I want to see if this issue occurs again. This may have just been an anomaly, if it happens again then I will worry, but just thought I would report it to franco.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oreoferret:
I had the exact same issue m'self with 15.1

As well, I find that in 15.1 I don't go into deep sleep very often. I did cpu spy/reset timers... screen off.. waiting 10 minutes.. cpu spy/refresh.. and I was like 81% 350mhz, 19% deep sleep

Old versions of franco.. or imo/faux's kernels all would give me about 90% (or more) deep sleep time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
just want to note, I've had no issues w/ deep sleep on my phone. I am stock OC and stock UV though (yours is underclocked).

I suggest going back to stock settings and ensure stability before OC'ing and UV'ing.

Hrm.. I didn't change any frequencies, at all, on my own.

I just installed the kernel, rebooted once.. used the phone for 5 minutes, turned off the screen..

i've never changed the mhz or voltage on my nexus 'manually'

I set the governer, in Rom Control of AOKP m3, to francoTurtle, that is it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
it shouldn't be going down to 350 then... francoTurtle is 700-1000.

do you have any power saving, or set at boot options set?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oreoferret:
Yeah, nothing.. the only 'set at boot' I had was the governer.

hrm, so this is interesting.. why the heck did my phone ever operate at 350mhz w/ francoTurtle.. hrm

(i reflashed imo's 1.8.0.. maybe i'll go back to 15.1 and try to figure this out)

EDIT: So AOKP's Rom Control.. I had set the governer... and up above.. yep.. min 350, max 1060.

So now I have those set to 700/1000 and we'll see if this baby performs as expected.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aquariumdrinker:
If that doesn't work, use Root Explorer to see whether you have multiple folders in /mnt/sdcard/ that have the same name but with different cases. For example, "DCIM/" and "dcim/". I had this problem last night. It would not have occurred to me that it is kernel related, but I was using fk15 and AOKP m3. Gallery was able to list the photos in /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/, but could only display a gray preview and could not load the image when selected (just spinning circles). I started a thread on this at The Other Place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EyeOfTruth:
Not always. You could have had a program running so the cpu didnt go into deep sleep. but that is about 2% an hour thats not bad. You probably had a program that kept poping up preventing it from going into deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oreoferret:
Hrm.. so even with my cpu stuff set to 700/1000

Out of 20 minutes with 'screen off'.. i'm 10 minutes 700, 10 minutes deep sleep

any other kernel, or using an older franco, and these #'s are like 25 seconds 700mhz, 19.5 minutes deep sleep

something is certainly not "right" with francoTurtle 700/1000 & deep sleeping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:

I'm using FrancoTurtle with 700/1000 and my deep sleep is working fine...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oreoferret:
Yep.

Just did the test again.

63% 700mhz, 37% deep sleep

going back to imo1.8.0 until I hear this is fixed.

I do have active sync w/ an exchange email and push IMAP... so I can see why the phone would 'wake up'

but again, never with a past franco kernel, and never with imo or faux's, do I get this behavior... so the only variable is "15.1"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
I'm having issues too with 15.1, flashing back to 15.

Here are my exact tests from 15 to 15.1 something is happening. I even slept less and got worse results. Compared to my 7.5 hour run.
