Just flashed. Thanks Franco.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] liondroid:
just flashed #9 now...

everything is working fine till now:)

after testing fully will try to add some more spice to my rom by pikachu's thunderbolt tweak.... lets see what would happen to my Note:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] krazman325:
We Have a Winner!!!!

Thank you Franco!

I have been on v6, having returned from v8 due to the recovery stall issue. That was the only reason for returning to v6 for me.

No recovery stall issue with v9! Overall, seems very snappy. I will test further over the next few days. But for now, this looks like a keeper!

Very nice work Franco! Thanks again!!!

Flashed #9

Boot into recovery seem to be normal .

Now test it .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
If for a moment it seems a bit choppy or something grab SetCPU and decrease Ondemands up_threshold to 90% or something, currently it's set with an extremely agressive setting for maximum battery savings during normal usage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] krazman325:
ADW seems a little choppy going from screen to screen. App drawer scrolls very smoothly though. Dropped the ondemand up_threshold to 95 and will try every 2-3 % points until I find an up_threshold that is smooth on my Note. Thanks for the advice Franco!

kraz

Up_threshold won't persist following a reboot. Reverts back to 98%
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yup, that's normal lol. Just use SetCPU for that, I'm planning to add that crap to my app once ICS hits.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] krazman325:
IN SETCPU:

When I changed it to 93%, it persists. I also checked the set with profiles box this time in addition to the Set on Boot box I had checked last time. It may be the number value change that made it persist or the Set in Profiles that made it persist. I don't know yet.

#9 is still a no go for me

Once you lock the screen it doesn't come back on :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
im on midnote 1.5. i flashed the kernel. the screen comes back on for me though. will report again in a few hours if any errors.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] zstef:
I'm on #9 (stock LB1, no mods, scripts etc.) for a couple of hours now and just had an automatic reboot. And again, no last_kmsg file.

Damn, stock and CF-Root kernels are so stable, I wonder what the problem with other kernels is...

Edit: I ran a StabilityTest (CPU+GPU) and it froze after a minute of testing. The whole phone froze ofc...

Edit x2: The phone was still alive because it still did respond to home button double click, but the screen was showing StabilityTest app and after a while the phone rebooted. So it's that classical SoD/auto reboot scenario.

Edit x3: And again the same thing - StablilityTest freeze, SoD, reboot. Is it possible that something about the kernel kills the launcher and that freaks out the phone? Or is it something about the GPU stability?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
Is the tv out not working with this kernel?

I cant even find it in the settings under display.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] patos46:
Work perfectly for me, using v.8, then v.6 because of the battery, now v.9.

Congratulations for your good job and thanks to give it to everybody.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] npras42:
First time I have used Franco's kernel properly (I had v8 very shortly just so that I could get off the ICS builds but changed to CF-Root without really giving it a try) and I must say it seems very good so far.

Most important things for me are stability, smoothness and rate of discharge with the screen on. I have used AbyssNote extensively before and although very quick and good standby times, I found screen on time to be not so good and also would heat the device quite a lot (never dangerously so though).

Cant say about screen on time with franco v9 yet as not used it for long enough but seems smooth enough and stable so far. All functions seem to be working as intended and lesser device heating when playing a game like Fruit Ninja.

I'd love it if a kernel managed to get me past the 5 hour screen on mark over 24 hours, which would be about 30 minutes better than I've managed anywhere else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] iamsmallpang:
Stock ZSLA2 flashed to v.9

dark screen

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] M3TALLICA:
Quadrant score underclocked at 800 was 2997. Its not about quadrant score but phone was STILL quick enough for me, the way I use it. There wasnot lag on golauncher either. Thanks!!

BUT

Hey Franko your kernel rocks man! But please let us know why donot you support undervolting ?

Please answer so we will know more about it (does it really save battery or not etc).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DV1510:
Just a quick rewiew v9

No SoD ( never happend to me with any kernel from franco)

Slightly higher battery drain compared to v6 (with nearly same kind of usage)

With v6 approx 3% per hour

With v9 about 4% per hour

Your the man Franco!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] monomer888:
Flashing custom kernels are always at our own risk and the same is probably true for third party init.d scripts. It's unlikely that Franco will officially endorse the Thunderbolt init.d scripts seeing that the FAQ in Post #1 tells us not to, but that won't stop people doing it! :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] krazman325:
Can't tell any difference....

I'm 12 hours with v9 and no problems yet! I honestly can't tell any difference from v6 which is my fall-back version. Stability and battery life seem identical. v6 quad was 5955. So far v9 is just under 5600. But real life performance is indistinguishable.

Or maybe I just don't know what differences to look for!

Working good for me no sod and wakes quick.

For those that get sod are you wiping cache and davlik before flashing?

I always wipe before flashing to alleviate any problems possibly from other kernal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Veiti:
Why?

I use only a kernel cleaning script. thats enough and works for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Slig06:
Using v9 i get a dark screen when unlocking (not always but most of the time, with v8 it was almost all time).

Anyone has a link on v6, i'd like to test it ?

(i did not trashed it : i just got franco kernel for first time few days ago with v8, so i never got v6)

hav been running v9 for hrs......it's stable and snappy...no sod at all.

running on RocketRom v22.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't understand the sods. My kernel is free of wtfpwnPatches and it's pretty clean so either it's ****ing Samsung's code or something is very wrong. I'm in the kernel business for quite some time to know if I did or didn't do ****. I'm just pissed at Samsung, this ain't directed to any of you that been showing a lot of support on me and my stuff :)

I'm eager for ICS because I'm sure this **** will be fixed in the new source. I'll probably drop #10 to try and fix the sod crap in the next days then I'll wait for ICS because apart from the sod business this kernel is 100% stable.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Tyra Misoux:
Sorry to ruin your day but still pixel-salad after phone was off. Have to try several times (on/off/on/off/on...) until I see a picture. So that was NOT an overclocking-issue...

What the hell... what kind of crap did Samsung pull out from their asses for this kernel?

Thanks though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Techvir:
I have running this kernel on darky 3.3 and have not seen any issues that is reported here.

People who have issues might best off re installing the rom clean... Could be something related to that

Edit: i installed over #8 through franco app and did not even delete cache ( unless it did by itself)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nihal1983:
have been using #6 on darky3.3 and kingdroid 5.4 now using #9 never had an sod. there were times that the screen went blank but after a little while it responded. so thanks for the awesome kernel franco and I get a good battery life as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
It runs it 0 problems for me too but I believe issues can exist for some users specially after seeing cpufreq_high.c driver from Samsung doing string compares for example somewhere in the 8xx line...worse **** that I seen in a while.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MATRIKS:
No issues for me to
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] CuraeL:
Hey Franco. I have absolutely no idea on why this is happening to some of us. Right now, I am flashed back on CF-root kernel, since it doesn't give me the pixelsalad. Since I have no idea on why this is happening or how to build a kernel, then maybe look into CF-root kernel and see if something special is going on in there that's not usually in there? And see if that works? I have no idea, just trying to help. You prob. thought of looking into other kernels that worked, yourself already. Just in case.

I've been using your kernels for a LONG time, and was a bit sad to see this happening.. So it must be Samsung messing up stuff in this particular phone. :) I hope you find out what the problem is, cause it makes no sense to me.

And it doesn't make sense to me either why Samsung would start changing stuff in the kernels right now.. :s Let's hope ICS fixes these weird accidents. :s I think it will.

Cheers for all your hard work, on all of these devices. :) My Galaxy Nexus never ran smoother than on your builds. :)

Can't wait til this is available on ics(esp aosp ics:) best kernel ever
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Slig06:
I had sod when i tested franco kernel for the first time few days ago with the #8, on a stock KKA rooted.

I installed DarkNote 3.3 (so #8) yesterday with a full wipe, and got it too. And got it again when trying #9 today.

It must be hardware related (like for oc for which each one have different max values), i don't see how francisco can track and fix it (except with some luck) as his gnote don't have that problem and so can't test himself.

It's just bad luck for those who have it, and i'm a little sad about it because after the few use of this kernel i could made, i like it.

Anyway, thanks for your work fancisco, your kernel seems very good and smooth ! :) (despite the fact that some can't use it)

ps: for those searching the previous releases, links up to #7 are on the post #1241 : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23093966&postcount=1241

rebooting after instalation

i'm using checkrom v5, downgrading back to franco v6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g4ndr1k:
I'm running a customised LB1 odex plus Thunderbolt tweaks from pikachu. I turn on SQLite and turn off logger via franco app. So far so good, no SOD, no overheat, no wild kernel wakeup, no slow wake up from deep sleep and the battery life is much better than CF kernel. I also got more free memory comparing to CF kernel.

I installed #9 over CF kernel, no cache wipe, no cleaning script, no rebooting twice after installation, just directly installed via CWM.

This perfect configuration definitely stays on my Note until ICS comes. Thank you so much franco!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Tyra Misoux:
I tried with completely flushed device. Might take some pictures tomorrow. It is completely random LCD totally black become brighter and brighter by time. With working phone "below". In fact a blind taken screenshot looks OK!

I have this with all custom kernels I tried but everything fine with kernel included in Kingdroid (I guess it is stock + CWR).

I was copying titanium backup files from external sd to internal it was around 200mb. When the screen timed out after 30 seconds it did not turn on again, I had to reboot by pressing and holding power button.

It is just strange as my note is using LB1+franco#8 too.. :(

maybe her note's tolerance is lower..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Tyra Misoux:
Mine too - but tolerance about what? Franco removed GPU-overclock so this is not the point.

btw I have very new version. Maybe there is something changed? We should do some research about that issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
Maybe all the guys who have pixel salad issue can state the date and place of manufacturing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AhmadOkda:
i think it was something related to newer driver or something like that in newer models of note

so it seems the first versions of Note works perfectly with no SoD while the newer ones face from it using any modded kernel from Franco or others

Franco kernel v9 is simply amazing... smooth, stable and very good on battery.

regarding the pixel salad issue: could it have something to do with different kernel versions 2.6.35.7 and 2.6.35.14, and conflicts with newer/older hardware versions? afaik abyss kernel is using newest kernel 2.6.35.14. just a thought coming up when i was reading the last posts.

I don't know if this is kernel related and unfortunately I didn't pay enough attention to the stock kernel, but after coming from CF-Root on LB1 to Franco #9 I'm noticing that my phone is showing large chunks of Awake time with no screen on time at all. Better Battery Stats is showing that alot of my awake time is coming from Kernel Wakelocks via PowerMangerService. This may have nothing to do with the Franco Kernel. I might install CF-Root again and see if there's a difference. Otherwise this kernel is fantastic. My phone feels so much smoother/quicker with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] suman_pal78:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Pinnacle74:
PowerManagerService is a collection of userland wakelocks så you have to check under partial wakelocks what's causing the wakelock.

On the note its quite often caused by the app Samsung Apps, if you open that one it will install some things that will cause the wakelock. Don't really remember what anymore as i uninstalled and/or froze them with Titanium Backup but if you search the forum you can find it.

Also switch off the notification under Settings, Applications, Samsung Apps as that will help save the battery.
