It will do :D Samsung sources have just been released, we have to give time to devs and everything will go on.

During waiting just avoid risky operations like full wype with CWM.:o

By the way, the R4 is much better than R3, no more laggs and better battery :D

Never had WiFi issue at all.

I'm with LPY stock rom.

Can i flash this kernel on N7000ZSLPF based rom. (Rom is TMT1.4.2)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] thering1975:
First line in first post

Stock XXLPY/LPF only - confirmed and working.

So anyrom which is a derivitive of lpy or lpf is fine
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] wildestpixel:
Hi Franco,

Not sure when you will read this. Is there any chance of you pre-rooting this kernels zImage :

1. If you flash CF Root 5.3 and then franco kernel you will maintain root with super su and cwm app.

2. If you flash CF Root 5.5 or 5.6 and then franco kernel you will not maintain root elements.

If you are on a purely stock rom offering it would be great to at least have su binary and superuser.apk as a preroot as in your GB offerings to not depend on flashing a specific CF Root kernel or worse still applying the fake update zip version of CWM and then applying root via a cwm flashable zip.

Not sure if you are cool with the way of thinking but will stop some less knowledgable loosing root if say going from ever root or a new cf root on a stock rom to franco kernel.

Cheers in advance.

which release is the best ?

r3 or r4 ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] LOulOo:
Hi franco

i was running r3 franco kernel with Alba rom v2 (LR4 radio), and had no problem.

Yesterday evening i upgraded r4 kernel, and since had the kernel waterlock "L2_hsic"

this evening, i flashed LR1 radio and after the first reboot, deep sleep a few seconds after... and no more 200 mhz

Wifi is broken for me on r4. Back to SpeedMod for now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kufel:
yeah.... Did not touch the ROM , still on stock, switched to SpeedMod kernel and WiFi - no problem. connecting in milliseconds...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
And why do you post such crap ?

I notice there are certain users who post SpeedMod is best Franco's thread and Franco is the man in SpeedMod thread.

Franco or Hardcore, who is the best ?

Gosh, how old are you guys ?

Do you whine at home mommy is best or daddy is best ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kufel:
You posting crap. If one developer gets stuff working the other can use this fact to improve on his work. This is aboit sharing information. I used franco's app from play store on atrix and now on note. I am not saying one better tha the other just stating facts about wifi. So chill out, dude
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
Do you seriously think that any respectful kernel dev (let alone franco) would post a kernel with no working wifi?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xuggs:
How is that crap to you? I actually see it as very useful info for those who plan to flash this kernel? I don't see myself saying I am a fan of hardcore or franco. Not sure why you came up with "who is the best"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kufel:
Dude.... If i do not touch ROM and have wifi working on stock kernel and on speedmod kernel but not working on franco's.... Think aboit it

Maybe there are subtle differences in hardware implementations between franco's phone and these that are not working.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alex1-2-3-4:
Well - search and / or browse the thread, there are options to get it working with Franco's.

I'd still be interested in learning WHY one has to flash in a specific way,

but at least it works (yes, I had the WiFi issue with LPY and Franco's R3)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] marc.tulley:
I agree. The best franco can do is test between himself and other chums before releasing. No one can predict the exact response from evey slightly unique handset. Fact is im on stock lpy. Wifi has never been a problem untill i went from stock kernal to r4 then 8 hours later wifi drops and would not reconnect. Tried r3, no change. Redownload r4, no change. Try speedmod and its instantly ok. Flash back to r4, 1hour later it permenantly drops out again.... Back on speedmod with wifi. If thats not conclusive i dont know what is. I love franco work but im not foolish enough to think hes some uberJesusMrPerfect. Never seen franco revert a mod?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
Did you guys try the fix that is flashing the ROM with the stock zImage replaced with franco kernel without wipes?

Most -if not all- members who had wifi issues and tried that workout found it solved their wifi issues

P.s. no one said you are foolish guys, but if the wifi is not working at all or stops after a while surely franco wouldn't release said kernel, right? Granted there might be differences and negligible variables but that is workarounds exist for :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eroracing:
Ok well just want to give a heads up on my experience with franco's r4 kernel. I was initially on rrv2. With lpf kernel and xxla4 modem and everything worked great. But I wanted to try franco's kernel. After flashing it Everything worked great no issues as long as I was on wifi. When I left the house and was on mobile data it was very erratic. I tried all different modems, tried reflashing kernel and rom, wiping cache and dalvik but nothing helped. I flashed back lpf all ok again. So i tried speedmod that was good to but my mhl didn't work so i ended up going back to lpf as i use mhl daily! Well i really wanted to use franco's kernel so i decided i would test the franco's wiping ability (praying to the phone god's that i would not brick)! Well i booted into recovery and

Data wipe factory reset

Wiped cache

Wiped dalvik

Flashed rrv2

Flashed franco's kernel r4

Flashed xxla4 modem

Rebooted

Bit off most of my nails waiting for that little vibration right before it hits the screen lock!

Low and behold my note lived. Sign in to goggle downloaded all my apps i use (i did not use titanium backup) as i Wanted a fresh install!

All i can say is wow..... My note worked pretty good before but not like this! This thing has absolutely no lagg! Everything works including my mobile data and mhl! The data seems even faster than before.

Point is if you are having problems try a fully Clean install chances are it will fix most issue's!

I definitely vote for franco's kernel on version 3 and please keep kalagas theme as i love it. Oh almost forgot to mention my battery life is the best its ever been! All my wakelocks seem to have disappeared!

RocketROM V2

Franco's kernel r4

Equals pure sweetness!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] arielito:
a bit mixed up

Hi there,

I just downloaded kernel v4 and so I bought the "Franco kernel updater" hoping to do some undervolting, but am I missing something? I cannot find any undervolt options, nor color or sound options. Where are they?

I read that I could set just one core to work, but nothing....

The only thing I found is POWER MODE and I chose Power save, but I dont find any explanations on what I am changing by choosing this option.

If you could please explain to me as maybe I am doing something wrong.

Thank you,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] aussiebum:
I haven't picked up Franco's kernel updater yet so can't comment, but if you were after some undervolting with r4 *right now*, go get Tegrak Overclock Ultimate.

The latest Tegrak is fixed and no longer has the Wifi Reboot bug I posted a few pages back.

You can overclock the CPU with Tegrak's O/C module, but you *can* undervolt.. which is what I've done.

People, The developers in XDA All work very hard to produce something out of curiosity, a desire to improve a device and the love of trying to propel the community and their understanding to the next level. The Members normally work together in concert with the devs to help improve and debug their work.

IF you buy an app from a Dev, please read what the app does and READ EVERYTHING the Dev writes... they do not write for the fun of it ... it is information they want you to know..........:rolleyes:

IT is HUGELY Disrespectful, to complain in a personal and childish manner. Be responsible, and do your homework, read (and understand what you are reading) and know what you are doing before you flash anything.

When people have questions regardless of how clueless/inept they may seem...... Show Respect, if you want to post an answer to their query, then answer the question...Then, provide some direction HOW to find the information themselves. IF they continue to post a pattern of laziness then report them......... Doing this makes it WAY easier for the Mods to cull out the habitual trouble makers...Please do not to engage in a flame argument....... whether you are right or wrong on a given issue... you are both wrong for going off topic...

IF they (the developers in XDA) improved your device, show some appreciation and maybe donate to them (really only about 1-5% ever do) or at the minimum, Hit the Thanks Button and post helpful and constructive comments rather than pointless whining comments....... Thanks

my experience...

before:

flash kingdroid and franco kernel v4 I had some issue because i did not a clean install... i flash over kernels and other mods and then i returned to franco's .... I think that i've lost full root infact there was no way to enable rw on system folder etc....

after:

reflash lpy odin pc

root with temporary cwm

flash abyss and reboot recovery

flash kingdroid and boot

flash franco r4

everything works well

with governor conservative all works like a lightening.... a clean flash will solve all issue

sorry for my bad English.... I'm from Italy.

thank you Franco for you great work.... for me you are the best kernel developer and I use your kernels since GB... I'll buy your app.

2. All my apps in usb storage will missing after a reboot..

Both of the issue are solved by reflashing lpf kernel..

Anyone have same issue so if not it might because of rom..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
Within the kernel, a wake lock can be destroyed such that it will never be used again.

Most common cause of this is unloading the wifi driver, which converts all wifi wake lock history into deleted_wake_locks.

Pointless. It isn't "two out of three" scenarios - read more carefully. Bricking requires three components, ALL of which must be true/present. Eliminate one, you eliminate the problem.

MMC_CAP_ERASE is appearing to be all you need - No one who has been confirmed to actually be running a kernel with it disabled has bricked on wipe. The ONLY report I've seen is a single person who claimed that they flashed R3 in Mobile Odin and then IMMEDIATELY dropped to recovery without testing or verifying that they actually flashed what they thought they flashed - this kernel is only packaged as a CWM release, so if they flashed in MO they would've had to extract the zImage manually, and people **** up that step all the time.

That's where profiles come in handy. You can set your Max clock speed back to 1400 or wherever you desire whenever you launch a specific app/game/scenario

If it's done correctly and OC'd within a reasonable range, it's no different than observing a car that never pasts 40mph and another car that occasionally hits 80 when necessary. Just because it's OC'd to 1.6 that it runs steady at that clock speed all-day.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] globalm:
Thanks entropy.

I have re-read and I think I understand my misunderstanding :rolleyes:

Can I check that I have this right?

MMC_CAP_ERASE can be invoked, albeit indirectly, by a wipe from within android, by a wipe with recovery or by an install script run during an installation from recovery. All of these scanarios will invoke kernel code and bear a risk of brick unless the kernel has calls to MMC_CAP_ERASE removed. The point which I think I was missing is that the same kernel code services all these scenarios.

Do I have this correct now?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ramabg:
How to use newest Tegrak ? I got failed to run insmod when I click Load overclock module. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Entropy512:
MMC_CAP_ERASE isn't "invoked" - it's just a driver capability flag.

Here's kind of the order of how things go:

An ICS-based recovery issues a command to the kernel to fully erase the partition (as opposed to just formatting it - ERASE is beneficial for privacy)

Eventually, you wind up in the mmc_erase() command within drivers/mmc/core/core.c in the kernel, which has this code:

if (!(card->host->caps & MMC_CAP_ERASE) ||
!(card->csd.cmdclass & CCC_ERASE))
return -EOPNOTSUPP;

So if MMC_CAP_ERASE was removed for the host driver (e.g. MMC_CAP_ERASE was never set in the host driver - drivers/mmc/host/mshci.c in our case), this code will return an "operation not supported" error. If MMC_CAP_ERASE IS enabled, this will go through a few other checks (which will pass in the case of N7000 sources on our device), and then call mmc_do_erase()

mmc_do_erase() will eventually send MMC command 38 (ERASE) to the chip - and IF that chip is one of the defective ones, the command has a chance of failing in a way that leads to the chip becoming unusable.

So there's a whole chain of events that leads from you choosing to format something in recovery (or an update zip formatting a partition) to the MMC firmware choking on an ERASE command. Break any link in that chain and you are no longer in danger. The best place to "break the chain" is in mmc_erase() - and this can be done by disabling MMC_CAP_ERASE in the host driver for our internal eMMC.

My experience with Franco #4 and Tegrak Ultimate

Hello,

I was on stock LPY rooted with Franco #4. I know Franco said in an earlier post that there may be a problem with his kernel and tegrak but I saw people using it so I thought I'd give it a go.

Overclocked to 1600, no undervolting. Worked beautifully for 5 minutes. Then the Note started to behave erratically (SOD, apps not loading, wifi gone, apps repeatedly being granted SU access...) and finally realised I had lost root. ???WHY???

re-flashed LPY and rooted it with Dr Ketans method (CWM.ZIP, busybox...). All good (deleted tegrak)

Then flashed franco #4 through Mobile odin (Zimage) --> lost root again and wifi.

Re-flashed lpy etc. flashed franco through recovery -->lost root and wifi.

Reflashed LPY and rooted, then used mobile odin to flash LPY and inserted franco #4. All good again. Root holds and wifi works.

Moral of the story: don't use tegrak with franco kernel, and if you have wifi problem, flash rom again with mobile odin and insert franco kernel.

Franco, you kernel is awesome (snappy with good battery life). keep up the great work!

thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DrADP:
You can install Franco kernel. I've been following this closely and you won't brick your phone. To avoid any issues I would flash your lp4 ROM with mobile Odin but add Franco kernel in the kernel section. You won't regret it.

Just a question to anyone who boosts with quadrant scores:

How can a custom kernel be so much better in I/O then stock kernel from samsung that many developers use to develop? When looking at the scores on Quadrant, it's like triple any other stock device.

How? And does a very high I/O score mean a very smooth fast device?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DrADP:
I was using r3 then upgraded to r4 with no problems at all (rooted lpy only). I flashed r3 and r4 through Recovery and everything was good. That was until I installed tegrak. Then everything turned to mud as per my previous post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I know what the kernel is, its stock, I'm asking about the whole package.

Because I think the IO is the most important **** on the Android echosystem. Therefore I try to boost it as much as I can. Thats part of the reason why all my kernels are so popular. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] matius44:
Yea noticed that bit too, and since I/O stands for Input/Output regarding data (if am not mistaken :D) then it can explain the fact that franco.Kernel does make a very difference in speed and smoothness :)

What exactly does IO do? When I hear Input/Output I think of putting data onto the device like USB storage. Am I mistaken about this?

I read from wikipedia it's sending packages to and recieving from CPU. So it's faster communication between cpu and other internal stuff?
