Hi Franco, I wanted to start off by saying what a great job you've done on the kernel, and even at such an early stage. I wanted to give you some feedback, so here are my impressions so far:

1) Battery on F2 has been phenomenal! It is better than anything I've ever tried bar none. It has only been a couple of days, but it has already amazed me. Standby is less than 1% an hour with wifi/sync on. It's been better than I could have hoped.

2) My phone used to overheat quite a bit (not to the point of shutting down, but hot to the touch) and at times could reach 55c battery temp while playing graphically intense games. But, now with your F2 kernel the phone is noticeably cooler and my battery temps have dropped to a high of 47c. I know this is inconclusive since it is a battery not CPU temp, but that is the only real quantitative figure I have to go by.

3) Overall, the user experience and smoothness is at least on par with the best out there. For instance, there is still a delay between a home button press and the phone waking up. But, no rom/kernel/mod has been able to remedy that-at least on my phone.

4) If there is one qualm I have is the kernel's 3D performance. I have switched back and forth twice between FM's kernel & yours and there is definitely a noticeable difference when playing a 3D game. In my case, the game that I noticed it the most was, one of my favorite Android games, Glu's Blood & Glory (NR). While using your F2 kernel I noticed the game plays slower & choppier than while on FM's.

To back this up (I know benchmarks aren't conclusive either) I used Basemark ES2.0 Taiji free and got a max score of 16.92 with your kernel, but 20.19 with FM's. Normally, I wouldn't pay much mind to a difference of 3 FPS, but oddly enough it made a significant difference in the fluidity of the displayed rendering and it had similar effects on gameplay with Blood and Glory.

I bring this up not as criticism, but as honest feedback from an appreciative user. Furthermore, I don't have any background in development, just an avid Android user.

Also, I am currently using Substancer's tweaked, but mostly stock, LA6 ROM.

Cheers!

Hi!

I have purchased and installed your App Franco Kernel, but I get this error E: Signature Verification failed Install_package = (2)

Can you look at this!

Of course, you're write.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
I know what Linux, in fact GNU/Linux is. I was refering to Maemo being much more comparable to what is known as "Linux" in the sense of Ubuntu or Fedora or SuSE. Maemo runs native code and it's UI is built on top of GTK+ (plus Qt). Maemo runs programs rather than "apps". GTK+ programs can easily be ported to be run on Maemo. Take GIMP for example. Or OpenOffice. Maemo also has a package management system. Maemo basically is a full-blown Linux distribution on a mobile device.

Android does not run native code and does not build on common Linux technologies. Nothing of the above will ever be possible with/on Android. Android is basically something completely different built on top of the Linux kernel. It's not "Linux" as the regular user understands the term "Linux".

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Maemo is even a fork of some older Debian, not quite sure though...

It depends on how you use it. Idleing only or just being connected 3G is alot more power efficient than WIFI. When the connection is actually used, WIFI is more power efficient. You could've rhymed this together yourself: how far away is the next mobile network tower, how far away at most is the WIFI access point? Which does need the much higher transmit power output to reach? I hope you're ok with me randomly using a quite big font for certain words. Since I did not know what it is useful for, so I thought it's best if I just match your style :rolleyes:

I don't believe so, I reckon you have wakelocks in place and your device doesn't sleep. Typical runtime when this happens: out of juice after 6-8 hours. Does that figure match...?

You have every right to complain about a kernel but it would be great if you can tell us why. Also the developer will have some feedback on improving stuff.

Share some of your wisdom with us.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] appro77:
Thanks for this kernel. IMO it is excellent. 2% battery drain over 9 hours last night using RocketRom v20. Very happy with that. This kernel has also removed a couple of other issues I was having with the phone. Some say they don't see any wake up lag with Franco. I'm still seeing a bit, but I'm used to it by now after owning an SGS2 and now the Note. :)

Will CPU frequency adjustment be added to a future version?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] benzso63:
This updated one seems running good. I have been testing this for a while , keep going back to AbyssNote 3.8. But this new one is the most reliable one and my main concern is the battery drain, it seems solved the problem. I will stick with this for now. Hope Franco will come up with a super good one. :D

Great job!

---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 AM ----------

WOW, so RockROM with this Kernel will get you 2% in 9 hours? Thats amazing.

I am using DarkyRom V3.3 final with this Kernel, I get 1% in 2.8 hours. Which is not bad. But yours just impressive, were you not using it or slightly use?

Many thanks for your kind reply, I am on CheckRomV5 with Franco#2, when I see my device is 68% on deep sleep (using CPU Spy) and the remaining time it's on 500MHz or 200MHz

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] elk2210:
I did not have any problems with red-pill (used it with abyss). But yeah - such problems aren't good for a stable kernel :)

Is this the reason for you too, eagleofdeath13?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eagleofdeath13:
RedPill don't have the option (or maybe hidden in some dark place) to mount my SD Card on USB (something easily possible with CWM). And i had needed it to flash a new rom cause the Rom i had couldn't do this file transfert. I Think it's really usefull and i've really missed it. That's my reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Dr. Narinder:
Red pill will be fine for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sudisk:
CWM is fine for me. Il like to launch kernel upgrades directly from the CMW phone app.

When I need multiple operations, then I switch to recovery, but then again, i launch it from the app. Isn't that convenient enough for you guys ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] izi_:
Mayby it is but you prob not fancy clicking many times to agree an option while clear cache or proced with something... Ofc at end its kernels developer choice its just an suggestion. Mounting sd works without problem not sure why you have issues.

black screen on wake up

Hi Franco, i tried to apply ur kernel on my gnote running on checkrom.v5 and removed the content of the init.d but found out to have a black screen which than slowly becomes white when I press the power/home button to turn on the screen from sleep.

this is weird coz I never faced this issue with cf-root's kernel. I did a dalvik cache and cache wipe before booting up (after applying ur kernel). i applied ur kernel through cwm which as of now is version 3.1.

I moved back to cf-root kernel,copied back the init.d contents and everything went back to normal (no black screen on wake up).

I thought at first setcpu was giving the problem, so I removed it.

I tried also to do a fresh install of the rom,cleared the cache and dalvik also the contents of the init.d and then applied ur kernel, but its giving me the same result.

please do help. thanks in advance

What governor are you using btw? Can you try to reproduce the sleep of death and then start adb? If you can start adb with the screen of death then I'm 99% sure it's a rom problem because if it was kernel **** it would simply kill the phone altogether.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hkgrob:
Hi Franco

Can you confirm the default scheduler and governer. You mention ondemand in the changelog, but the defaults seem to be deadline and conservative.

Or did I read wrong?

Great job by the way. Smooth, great battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ups, I forgot to set ondemand as default. Deadline yes, curious to see if users report better or worse experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VTEChump:
In general, should I expect better battery performance with this kernel than the stock LA4 kernel? Or do the performance enhancements tradeoff battery performance? I am looking for Max battery life, and do not care so much about max performance.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I need more info...I don't have a single sleep of death. Can you fire up adb when the black screen?

Those wakes are normal...that wifi is keeping your device awake from some app or something. I have my wifi enabled for 3 hours and still 100%.

It might be normal but the time used for these wifi kernel wakelocks is ten times longer than for instance abyss, which makes this kernel useless for me; it drains too much battery...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Flashed Franco V5 twenty minutes ago. Everything's pretty smooth and quick, but my first impression is that this version might be somewhat more battery consuming than the previous ones.

After about 10 minutes of browsing SlashGear and PicSpeed my battery went down 5%, which is a bit much.

DarkyRom 3.3 Lite (no samsung or any other crapware inside)

All syncing off

GPS off

Netlocation off

in fact, everything off except the WiFi

Long flat line is overnight airplane mode, thin black vertical line to the right is Franco 5 flash, sharpish battery drop even further to the right is 10 minutes of browsing the net.

I'll keep testing V5 some more, of course.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cb1100r:
thank you for this opinion but completely useless as so many others here ...

For the thousandth time: a kernel needs to be run 24 hours or more!!

I am really surprised to find so many new users to the (all)treads of Note ... It would be nice to read the rules and learn a pe before spinning in their posts unnecessarily.

i never see that before on HTC or WM treads
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] andresalonika:
@franco You posted that ondemand governor is the default gov in #5 but after installing #5 twice i see that setCPU still sees conservative gov as the default one. Is this normal ?? (wiped cache/dalvik) Thanks! :)
