Yes. Unpack the .zip and flash the zImage file with CWM App.

Go Launcher conveniently has a "Quit" option in its menu :D And while youre in the apps management screen of Go Launcher anyway when following your advice, why stop go Go Launcher when the "Clear settings" button is to be found in the very same dialog? :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] notegalaxy:
I get a little confused by this kernel. I mean how the hell is it so damn fast. I always find myself using abyss by default because I'm power hungry and love the fact I can have a 1.6ghz dual core phone and gpu at 400mhz and all my mates know about it. Although have no idea what I'm talking about.

But then, every time I try Franco kernel I just get confused. Its not just a little bit better. Its miles ahead in smoothness. Battery life is better too. I don't understand how this can happen. Lower clock speeds on both gpu and CPU. Find myself tinkering with abyss for hours with voltages and frequencies. But use this. And it just works flawlessly. Weirdness. Lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mfractal:
Sometimes less is more :D

I found the only kernel that can offer a better battery life than Franco here

for my type of usage

is speedmod. But franco's feels snappier at places.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] notegalaxy:
Agreed. Although I haven't had much experience with speedmod. Its the smoothness of transitions that gets me. The only way I can replicate the smoothness on abyss is to max the clock at 1600 min and max. Regardless of the governor. This has gotta be a keeper. Until the ics teams have a kernel capable of 1.4 ghz and stable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] iarapilot:
Here is a screen shot of my usage. Not bad for 19% left on the battery.

I am using Criskelo V6 with Francos V6 kernel. I keep wifi, BT, and data off unless I need to use. My phone gets moderate use. For this screen shot I probably was making calls for an hour, quite a few txts, 1 hour of watching video, 1 hour of data, 1 hour using GPS.

When I installed the kernel, that is all I did. No messing with init scripts or anything
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mfractal:
how much screen time do you have there ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] iarapilot:
Probably around 5 hours.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mfractal:
find it hard to believe. a screenshot please ? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] iarapilot:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] iarapilot:
Correction

My screen was on for around 2 hours, not 5. And, phone is charging, so next time I will get the display time. Wasnt aware of that option!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] encrypshun:
How is it your android OS usage is 2%. I'm using Cassie's Lightrom with Franco Ver. 6 and mine is nearly 30 fold higher

Is this ROM or Kernel related? Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mfractal:
again... you did not show your screen on time press that in the battery stats window and it'll show you time the screen was on.

Plus i see quite a few wakelocks (phone was on while screen was off) on your screenshots, which is not good.

I marked the problematic parts of your battery stats...

I'd investigate with BBS to see what keeps ur phone up at night :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I'd say neither, and investigate your app setup. Some app/sync/GPS/whatever sucks your juice big time.

I've been using both Cassie's and Franco for a long time, and never had a graph like that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] encrypshun:
other than BBS, what app can I use to investigate? What I have running is Cassie's ultralight V8 with just a few missing programs / widgets re-installed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] koniakki:
I lost 1% overnight(8-9hours, Was 43% when slept around 11pm, was 42% when I woke up around 7 and I think it lasted at least 2hours more until I got to work and turned BT on)

Also playing music with the screen off might count as awake?? And the 2 huge battery drops you see IF I remember correctly since it's been 3 weeks since this was taken, I believe the first one was because of OSMOS HD game and the second one because of the camera video recording(720p). Or vice-versa. Or just two recordings since I don't see OSMOS HD at the usage. Can't remember. :p

Also that was with very light usage(very few calls/txts, some 20-30minute wifi browsing and some light gaming(Fruit Ninja, ABirds )) for 15-20minutes and I didn't post them so others could judge how(etc asking for S/O time) and why it got that much but to see that our NOTE's can really achieve great battery life.

Cheers. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I can't really present you with a solution without knowing what's enabled/disabled or installed in your system, sorry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] LordManhattan:
One simple question: What version of CWM does this kernel use? CWM Touch, regular CWM, RedPill Touch or RedPill Recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Regular CWM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] betoNL:
Man...this beast is already responsive enough ( specially on heavy tasks) out-of-the-box :eek:

Then you remove/freeze as much as bloatcrap as you can and it only gets better !

The trick is how to get more and more battery juice from it ;)

Over here the battery just wont drain :D:D:D

Why are you guys even have this phone if you use it only for little calls and sms and maybe for one game or video? :O

I have problem with usb connection to PC. If I transfer files into the internal sd the connection is very slow, but when I disconnect the phone from PC, my phone freezes and after few seconds the phone restarts by itself.What's the problem? I have Francos v6 kernel and Criskelos rom.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jager13:
RedPill???

franco, are you gonna consider making a RedPill version for franco #7?

since i'm not able to do a nandroid backup using CWM recovery mod!!! (...cannot backup boot image...) but with redpill, works like a charm!

PS: i ain't dissing CWM, some people prefer it, and others prefer RedPill, that's why i'm requesting 2 versions (NOT DEMANDING), if it's not much trouble!

Whatever u decide, thank you for this lovely kernel :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] skerk:
Would it be possible for you and hardcore to share your experiences in the kernel area.

Your kernel is awesome smooth and stable, Hardcores is awesome energy efficient and stable.

I'm asking in my humblest tone and trying not to be a demanding noob here, but rather trying to suggest something that could become a match made in heaven.

Maybe it's impossible to merge code/config in this way, I don't know nearly enough about kernel configuration to be able to tell....

Thank yuou so much for your work on this kernel that seems to have reached "chuck norris level". :) (that's about final release stability and speed to the power of ten at least.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kivine:
Hoping that you will merge with BLN, this will be perfect kernel for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] barondebxl:
Yo Francisco your kernel is AMAZING man!!!! I realised it after two days. The first day I flashed it I immediately saw the boost in performance while the battery life was the same ( I came from abyss kernel). But now the battery life is FANTASTIC with excellent performance. When the screen is off the phone doesn't use any juice at all I was at 62 % for like 4 hours that is incredible great job man thanks!

hi Franco!

thx for that awesome kernel!it is very snappy and stutterfree! but I got a funny Problem:

when waking up from standby the phone builds up pixel after pixel in different colors and crazy order until the whole screen is greyish filled and has a blackend bar on the left side. then gets black. next time waking up the same happens butit gets black earlier and doesnt finish filling the screen.normally after the third time the screen comes up normaly. what could this be????

thx for the help in advance!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Blue1k:
I noticed this too. Franco any changes?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
I believe you are connecting to the PC via KIES and MTP (something which never should have been invented), correct? Samsungs MTP implementation on the Note seems to suck, as it crashes when disconnected. You could try to pull a log while disconnecting so people proficient enough can maybe spot and debug your problem.

I find this interesting anyway, since my Note gets connected as a regular usb mass storage device, I've never seen it using MTP, I wonder why yours does.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Vatoe:
I'm trialing this kernel in the hope that the battery lasts longer than it did in v 6. Otherwise, your kernels are really impressive. On the wish list, I would like to see the option of touch CWM or touch Redpill in some future revision. :cool:

Thanks once again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] krushin:
Franco! i am demanding a kernel for ICS! haha jk ;), i bought your app back when i was using GB, absolutely loved the kernel (and the app for support). I can't wait till you get ahold of the source and start working on ICS, till then i can't wait :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
Hi,

Thanks for the wonderful kernel.

I have but 1 issue.

The capacitive buttons sometimes stop responding/working. This happened to me on the older versions also.

This does not happen on other kenels so its unlikely to be h/w error.

Is anybody else facing this issue?

Hi franco,

I faced the same issue (SOD) with #7. Since you thought that this might be a problem with the ROM, I posted the problem also in the CheckRom thread.

What's weird is that I never faced this issue with CF-Root and Abyss kernel.

No it's not. One of the 2.6.35.y patches (I think its 35.13) changes how Android reports the % of each components battery usage. It doesn't mean Android OS is eating your battery.

did u wipe the old kernel before flashing a new kernel? i never had SOD before
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Kpyto:
Dear Franco!

Thanks for your amazind kernel. I used it before for S2, now try to use at Note.

But I have a bug with your kernel (trying twice - install franco 6 = bug. install stock - good).

Bug: When display is off, and I'm wrying to wake up it (power key) - anything on display is wrond, million of random pixels of all colors and sloooow on of lighting display. Only rebooting of Note can fix this. 2.3.6, LA6, European Note N-7000

Will wait for possible fix! Anything else working good! Thanks Franco!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Nixchecker:
Concerning SOD:

I had 2 SOD in two months, one on stock firmware with either stock kernel or CF-Root (don't remember), one on RR-V21 with Abyss.

This makes me think the SOD problem is neither kernel nor custom rom related.

@Franco:

Thanks for the great kernel, flashed it a few days ago and had no problems (although I didn't remove RR scripts or use cleaner-scripts or whatever).

Nice batterylife and performance for me. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I dont have a favorite. The Nexus only wins on the software side because it has ICS, but hardware wise Note ftw.

I have no idea. Can you try a full wipe, reinstall of another rom and try to reproduce the issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DJChriZZ:

Hi.Thanks for answer.Sorry but I don't know what MTP is.I don't use Kies for connection.I removed it from PC and installed Samsung usb drivers.I can see both sd cards (internal&external) on win explorer and yes I press disconnect usb storage button before I disconnect cable from PC.I had problem with this on stock rom too. Thanks for any help.

I will try to pull a log...

Edit: Finally it works! I have always had usb debugging turned on and when I connected the usb cable, there was a notification in status bar, which I used to turn on usb file transfer.I have never used the usb setting in the wireless settings menu so I didn`t have MNT drivers installed on my PC. If i have usb debugging turned off,my computer displays Phone & Card storage as one storage device,if debugging is on, I see two different storage devices (removable disk). Over MNT I can still use my phone normally,on the other way (usb debugging on) all apps on SD aren`t accessible.Too complicated...

Pretty much same here, just tried v7 => after every screen off when I try to turn it back on, a huge number of light pixels fade in randomly, fixed only by reboot. Absolutely unusable in this state :-(

Probably something to do with the base used; hardcore's kernel gives the same effect. FM 2.0 works very well but I'm not too happy about battery life with it.

European N7000 (Poland / T-Mobile originally I think), probably from the later shipments. I think I've read in some thread that earlier models may differ from ones that came later.

For those having SoD's, try wiping both caches on flashing. That solved the issues for me.

About the GPU clock, please, please keep it that way. Until v& i had random slowdowns on videos and games, allowing 400mhz seems to be the onyl way of avoiding that.
