I have been holding off on upgrading from 13.1 to 14.4 because I was getting such outstanding battery life on 13.1 I was afraid it would get worse.

I've read a couple times about people not being able to undervolt as far as before and such so I was nervous about that as well.

Last night I updated to 14.4 and all I have to say is GREAT WORK FRANCO! Maybe it could just be me but the phone does seem a little snappier and i'm getting just as good battery life as before. I am also able to keep my undervolting settings from 13.1 (although I did revert to stock when I flashed and i've gradually reduced them since yesterday). Thought that was worth posting for anyone who is still on the fence about it.

I still have the 13.1 file just in case but I will report back again at the end of the day.

Has happened to me, and wasn't the kernal. Did a hard battery pull and took out the sim for 10secs. If that doesn't fix it I dunno..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] damobster54:
You're blaming the kernel for what reason? Obviously it wasn't the kernel, you might want to contact Verizon instead if you want help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tsoflyyup:
Could u share and screenshot ur batt life and voltage settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] holmes6:
Like someone else said, this may be verizon issue, but before you try contacting them you should try flashing a new radio. If that doesn't work re-lock and flash stock rom (you'll need to anyway to return it if it's fried) before giving up.

Pretty much everyone else in the thread has flashed 14.4 with absolutely no damage to their phones. Just because you can't explain it doesn't mean anything as far as implicating the kernel for your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Geezer Squid:
Anytime I have issues with a new install, whether it is a rom, kernel, theme, etc., and I have issues that are not widely reported I do the following until the problem no longer exists: 1) Reinstall the zip with no wipes, 2) Reinstall and follow the dev's instructions exactly, 3) Re-download and reinstall following dev's instructions.

You just had a bad install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deidein:
I'm definitely accepting it as a 'well, crap happens' situation. Just sharing my story in case it was something more widely troubling. Trust me I'm not blaming franco or his kernel, it just happened to be broken at that point. It says 'use at own risk' for a reason!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
Sure, at the end of the day today i'll post both. I've been averaging about 2-2.5 hours of screen on time over a 14-16 hour period.

Again: Anyone know how to get CIFS working?

On GummyNex 0.7.0, any 14.4 kernel.

I regret greatly that it looks like I'm going to have to abandon Franco's kernel.

I need CIFS, he apparently put back in "module support" for it (whatever that means), but I can't figure out how to get it to work, and asking here in this thread several times has been completely ignored.

No hard feelings -- I'm not upset, nor feel anyone owes me an answer. Doesn't change the fact that I need the feature, it "just works" with several other kernels, and since I can't get any help making it work with Franco's I'm gonna have to move on. Too bad, as I feel his kernel is the best one out there.

So, one last time: Anyone got CIFS working, and can you tell me how? I've tried everything I can think of, no profit...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
CIFS is included in the kernel now, no more modules **** =)

#15 is out btw!!

Sorry this probably won't be that helpful for you, but it worked for me without having to do anything special. I just started up "cifs manager" from the market and connected right up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
When I download a new kernel version through Franco's app where does it download to? It doesn't seem to go to my downloads folder and after downloading 14.4 through the app twice last night I finally just grabbed it from this thread.

I must be missing something because it can't be that complicated but I couldn't find any folders that looked like they were related to downloads for Franco's app.

Thank you all for responding! (bad in other ways though, guys -- you've reinforced whining :D :D)

Francisco -- thanks for the integration into #15 -- I'll try it out when I get home tonight.

Oh -- and what about that cowbell? We need more! I mean, does anyone think the kernel has enough cowbell? :D :D (see here on YouTube <grin>)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
Ok, so if Turtle only scales up to 1000mhz, and gazelle uses more power than conservative, shouldn't there be something in between for those of us who like the power saving of turtle but actually need the cpu to scale up to 1200mhz? I was expecting the old old conservative governor to still be there as a middle option. I really liked the conservative governor, but now it seems the only option is one that does either less, or more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
I like the new bl animation but my ocd requires me to keep everything as stock as possible. Anyone know where to obtain the stock image?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bowsersoulstar:
Looks like if you had previous kernel versions and had the min/max freqs saved on boot, you may need to set the freqs again after flashing to take effect of the default francoTurtle governor.

I was wondering why CPUSpy was still showing 1200mhz time and noticed my Overlcock settings was saved from previous builds.

If you get the not responding pop-up, you probably have your voltages set too low.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
Franco, sorry for double posting (not sure how often you check Google+)

Franco, I flashed your latest kernel. However, I wanted to compare something from 14.1 so I flashed to 14.1 to see and i'm getting boot loops. I assumed it probably had something to do with the 700-1000mhz setting that was saved. 14.1 doesn't have 1000MHz so I figured that was probably why it was loading. So I flashed back to 15 and same thing, all I get is boot loops no matter what version I flash. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Go figure, he made one of the worst ROMs even worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psohn:
Before I flash 15 I have a couple of questions regarding the new governors I hope someone can help with.

- Is the regular conservative governor still there or just the two new ones?

- If the regular conservative governor is still there, does it have the settings from 13 (with 920 active) or 14?

- Is gazelle the v13 conservative settings with 920 and old scaling or more aggressive?

Have u ever used it? Liquid is fast/stable as hell! Sounds like we got a hater at xda... who woulda thunk it?

I used his first ROM for the Nexus and thought it was excellent it just didn't have the level of customization I was looking for. Send me a link to your ROM so I can try it out and compare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KaLiBLeeK:
I'm having the same issue on the Gummy ROM. I get to the boot animation, which freezes, then the phone reboots. Gonna try to get into recovery and flash an alternate kernel or an earlier version of this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Franco, would you say its a safer bet to unlock the 350 slot now with the new turtle governor? It seems that the turtle governor uses all frequencies but spends most of its time in the lowest and highest slots. Or would using 350 be even worse since it takes even more for the speeds to ramp up?

Regular conservative is a goner. Gazelle is 99% alike conservative from #14.x only ramping to max freq not using the ones in between. It's as aggressive as it can be without trying to hurt battery too much.

I'm doing the app re-write which will fix all those ****s, hang on tight!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
As far as I can tell, these new governors aren't working properly. No matter which one I select in the Franco app, the min is 700 and max is 1200. I wanted to use Turtle, but I can clearly see in cpuspy that the phone is using the 1200 slot when it's supposed to be maxing out at 900.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Sweet boot but idk how I feel about it. That's defibutelly new territory, footing in the rom devs space lol. I would suggest reversing the colors to conserve battery. That's a ton of white just for boot..thanks Franco :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No. It's supposed to run max as 1000, but since using an init.d to set max freq is a mess for 90% of the people #15.1 will have a much cleaner implementation. App is being re-written as we speak too.

yes i would be ashemed having baby or girls bootanimation as a 28yr men :(

even more when i show my phone to colleges or customers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Digital_G0D:
Instead of copying the bootanimation zip to /system/media

copy it to /data/local

Mine has not been overwritten by a rom or kernel update since I did this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greydarrah:
If I've already flashed the kernel, are you saying that if I move the current bootanimation.zip from /system/media to /data/local, the phone will go back to whatever the previous boot animation was? I just want to get mine back to the old default kaleidoscope of colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MERKJONES:
Is there a stock rooted 4.0.3 with no other random features I can flash? I can't seem to find any... Everything I'm seeing has some extra features or lacking normal stock features. OTA hasn't been released eh?

I've read that Bugless Beast is pretty featureless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragonsla:
Is Gazelle supposed to be faster than stock, or about as fast?

I am looking to set it to as close to stock as possible(AS FAR AS SPEED GOES) and at the same time save as much battery as possible ;]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
So off topic and I apologize but I think anything beats the grainy stock boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
I didn't copy it the kernel installed it... I think Franco should release a kernel version without the boot. I don't like the taste that put in my mouth...maybe a simple toggle for his boot animation on/off??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psohn:
No that one is gone from your phone. You have to download the stock (or custom) bootanimation.zip and make sure to place it in data/local. This will prevent it from getting overwritten in the future. Search the forums for boot animations and you'll find a link for the stock animation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
Read the last few pages and not seeing a ton of feedback for 15... what does everyone think?

Great job Franco. 15 is awesome! Did an overnight test with turtle with everything turned on wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, 4G after 7 hours and a half battery only dropped 6%. Also, performance is amazing, getting close to being one of the fastest Galaxy Nexus ranked at Antutu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackbanjo:
I get everything working fine, but I have never seen the custom boot animation. Weird.

Also not getting the best battery life with #15. I wonder why my phone kept waking up in the night?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wicked4u2c:
You went from 100 to 71% in 9 hours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackbanjo:
yes, and the phone was just sitting by itself on my desk. I never turned the screen on or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
So turtle is now the go to governor for max battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
i know its not scientific, but compare your photo, with the one before (7hrs 6%)...difference is yours seems to wake on your spotty mobile signal....you gotta a lotta choppiness, and the wakes seem to correspond with those changes.

on the 7hr 6% photo notice the signal only changed once or twice, in turn the phone seemed to sleep more.

which radios are you using, and what is your signal like normally in your sleeping-domicile?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
That's not a fair comparison. 4g overnight drain vs wifi overnight drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackbanjo:
the 4G signal isn't great, but it's suprisingly consistent from what I have observed over the last few weeks. 3G is solid, so maybe I should turn off my 4G and see if my phone can get a good nights rest. Stock radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
right, last i checked wifi drew more. im pretty sure i've always gotten better battery with wifi off. but even with wifi on, you are still connected to the mobile network, so if your signal is changing or dropping often, its constantly talking to fix it, along with draining for the wifi radio...am i wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
4g is the worst battery drainer out of all your options. Enable wifi when you can. 3g over 4g when you want battery and 4g over 3g when you need speed.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

This is actually opposite based on what I've experienced.

I've had much longer idle life out of wifi than I have out of any mobile data connection.

Usually I'm around:

1-2% per hour on wifi

3-4% per hour on 3g

5-6+% on 4g
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackbanjo:
I am not concerned with the battery drain difference between 3G and 4G, I'm sure it's not that big of a deal. I am not yet convinced that the additional battery usage by 4G over 3G is causing my extreme battery drains. No matter what the outcome, I will always have mobile data on and wi-fi off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
It makes a big difference on my device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackbanjo:
well, 2-3% additional is something I am willing to deal with. Maybe I will make a habit of going 3G at night when all I really need is background data and other miscellaneous bull****.

Franco 15 working very well for me. Running francoturtle & JuiceDefender, I was able to attain 4hrs of screen time with 16 hrs straight of battery discharge (GPS-100% of the time, Wifi-60% of the time, Screen brightness set at 80% of max-90% of the screen time, & screen brightness set at 50% for the rest of the screen time). As far as performance, using max clock (1350) and governor set to performance, attained over 7000 Antutu score. Suffered 1 boot loop since 15 was made available. Very happy so far.....Not sure if I'm wild about the kernel having its own boot animation though....at very least the boot animation background should be black if the animation IS absolutely necessary.
