[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zentyko:
Hello there,

Like title suggests, I want to creat my own icons to fit certain themes/wallpapers. I can make icons in Photoshop, so that's no problem, thing is, I have no idea how to get them on my phone, and can't really find much information about it.

If someone could please kindly point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanly23:
There's no short answer really. I guess the easiest way would be to use something like nova launcher that allows you to long press and change the icons 1 at a time. If you want to get into theming whole swaths of your icons at once, I've seen how-to's here on theming roms etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zentyko:
Hmm, thanks, better than nothing by far :)

Defenately enough to keep me going for a while to figure out if I really want to do this and if I'm any good at it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nordpolcamper:
Well using Nova launcher is the best way to go at it. You can change the original icons from the standard apps by replacing them in their apks, but that will take some more time^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jmoroh:
Hi guys...I recently upgraded to Blazer 4.0 which I love, but my only problem is that it doesn't make a sound or vibrate when I get a text. It rings when I get a call, but not when I get a call. I know the problem isn't with my vibration motor because when I switch to vibrate mode, it vibrates to tell me. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pete_kowalski83:
I've been following your thread on rootzwiki and this is one of the best kernels for battery life so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bootsie99:
Down loaded will have to get it a try later today. I have read some good things, hoping for battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pete_kowalski83:
hopefully they get 7.0.2 up today much much better than 7.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
i got it up... i have too many threads to manage lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
updated to 7.1!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stangdriverdoug:
Just updated to 7.1. Running super smooth so far.

Miui powered Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
My bad, turns out I didn't test the latest build enough. There were some sound issues and high-pitched whistling coming from the phone, but I just fixed it. If you downloaded 7.1, redownload from the link in the op again. Thanks!

btw, if you don't want to look in the op, here's the link for the fixed 7.1:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycdiplomat:
Thanks for this, i thought it was just my phone buggin out. :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stangdriverdoug:
Didn't notice the bug...thanks though, I'll go ahead and update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pete_kowalski83:
haha I did the same thing, started playing music and all I get was whistling....and thanks for the fix OP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
GREAT kernal. Super stable, quick, and super battery friendly when the phone is off. My favorite out of them all. Thanks for this!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk3201:
This Kernel is also for gsm gnexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
v 7.2 has been released! Most notably, we have removed userspace undervolting (we already have enough of an undervolt anyways) to hopefully fix the no sound issue.

Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
yup!

10char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grinch247:
battery life= Super Badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
updated to 7.2.1! - no major changes, just some governor tweaking and code cleanup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
i did update there, and also replied to you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
Keeps getting better :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
Any known issues with the latest? I'm looking for better battery life but don't want any bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
v7.3 is here! Changelog:

the weirdness in 7.2.1 should be fixed

patched up to 3.0.23

Added Fast Charge by Chad0989 - For more info see here: http://rootzwiki.com...-fast-charging/

Switched to Ezekeel's implementation of Color Control - can now use color multipliers

Made screen offset values more accurate - francisco franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
wow flashing 7.3 now! Excited to see that fast charge addition. BTW love the gallimaufry governor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
Not only does the kernel have great battery life... it can also crank some good speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HYE_TECH:
damn...idk how but I thought I downloaded the newest one but I ended downloading v7.1 final and I have to say smooth as hell...I don't notice any lag whatsoever...about to flash this 7.3 now hoping for the same results...

Running AOKP b27 with hybrid 3 radios! This is the first kernel that I actually like using! Great job man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jdella681:
I'm trying to find clarification on the different governor options by couldn't find the gaulimaufry info.. Would that be optimized for best battery or should I stick with smartass v2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
v7.4.1 is here! Check the OP for the changelog
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
gallimaufry is a governor that is based on ondemand, and includes screen-off hotplugging, two stage algorithm for more power savings, and some speed tweaks.

aggressive is based off conservative and includes screen-off hotplugging, and should reduce lag while still keeping the battery life of conservative.

Both these governors might save more power than Smartassv2 because of the hotplugging, but it depends on your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hijackerjack:
This kernel is incredible!! My battery life has literally quadrupled after installing it. Hot damn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jdella681:
Yea so far been using gallimaufry governors and phone's been working awesome! Battery seems to be pretty impressive actually. I unplugged it this morning around 815 and had it at work on 4g but not using it too much.. Maybe a text here and there and occasional email. By 10 tonight I was at 40% or so.. That to me is not too bad ;).. I expect it to make it last at least a day with more usage like on my day offs.. Also running a hybrid radio so that be a possible reason too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeRom:
What have you guys been getting better battery life with, Gallimaufry or aggressive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
v8 - our LTS release - is here! Check the OP!

(And here's what people say when they go with someone else's kernel :) )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jdella681:
so far i've been using gallimaufry and it's been working well. when using the aggressive kernel to me it seems that it's draining faster even when the screen is off and hot plug is on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
v8.2.1 is in the op!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdevaughn:
Great job Sonic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ASimmons:
I have to applaud you... I've tried every kernel for the nexus, and this one; for me, has the best performance and battery life. I/O and memory are if the charts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Thanks man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
v8.3 is here! check the op for the changelog
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycdiplomat:
since there isn't an overwhelming amount of posts in this thread on issues people are having, looks like this kernel is a winner?? :D:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
Yes this kernel works very well :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Good for me so far, no issues.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HYE_TECH:
I have a question, is the kernel suppose to on top of app usage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaemonAshra:
this was my first time putting a new kernel on a phone and i couldn't be happier with it. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk3201:
Link to Kernel is down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
heres another link to 8.3

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50845713/PopcornKernel/v8.1/Popcorn-Kernel-v8.3-signed.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
I updated the link in the OP to a direct download of 8.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
This kernel is so fast at 1.4 on aggressive! I say we make it even faster! ;-) 1.5? 1.6?

Galaxy Nexus & ASUS Transformer Rooted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
I don't want to add anything that will cause the phone to be unstable (1.42 is already pushing it as some people can't run it)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyjohnson711:
I can't seem to get good battery life out of this one, I wiped dalvik cache before installing and set the governor to aggressive. Last night in 8 hours the battery dropped 15% , on silent with pulse light off. Usually with the regular kernel included in GummyNex I would lose 1% hour or less overnight... Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Make sure an app wasn't running and keeping your phone awake, and you can also try flashing faux123's reset kernel before flashing this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyjohnson711:
What is the best way to tell if an app is keeping my phone awake?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
1) you can look under settings > battery and see if there are any apps high up. You can also view the battery graph, and check to see if the phone was awake a lot more than the screen was on.

2) You can also use an app like betterbatterystats for more detailed information
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyjohnson711:
Hmm well I see Android OS as 40% CPU total 1h 19m, keep awake 3h21m, Screen is 14% and on for 26 min, Phone Idle 13% 12h 24m, Maps 12% CPU total 14s.

EDIT: Also wanted to say thanks for the help so far, it is really appreciated!

EDIT 2: Is this the correct reset kernel? http://goo-inside.me/kernels/faux123/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ASimmons:
those stats, to me seem to say you have something holding a wake lock. Most likely the kernel reset wont fix this. Although a wake lock isn't always bad they eat battery, its up to you to say how much is acceptable. Unfortunately ics doesn't show wake lock stats in the battery app yet, so its hard to find one now. Try system tuner in the market and use the analyzer feature to see if you can find the app that is running in sleep mode or using allot of proc percent ona background process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyjohnson711:
Does my screen shot seem odd after observing for 6 hours ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ASimmons:
Tough to say, I would say not really, but mighty text seems kinda high. But wake locks are bad only if there excessive or on programs that shouldn't need them. Some programs need to run in the back ground to retrieve data, but they need to do it efficiently.

Mighty text seems high

Not sure but you might want to run it while your phone its sleeping. And see if anything is over 20 seconds for about 6 hours of sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
Still the best kernel I have used on this phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Just letting you guys know, even though we haven't had a release for a while, (both me and jdk have been busy), we are working on the kernel and on making v9 as good a release as possible!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
So after a long time coming, v9 is finally here! Here's the changelog:

v9 Changelog (Download here)

updater script now wipes cache, dalvik cache, and system/lib/modules automatically

Bumped the 920MHz slot up to 1.06GHz - but it remained at the same voltage

Made aggressive even better (“How could this be?!?!” you ask!). Well, I added some code which will make it use the 1.06GHz slot more, which should lead to better screen-on battery life when doing things like web browsing and playing games (but still without lag). The DEF_SAMPLING_DOWN_FACTOR was also increased to 4

Made gallimaufry even better (“How could this be?!?!” you ask again!) - by making it so that it’ll ramp up a bit earlier, giving the user a snappier phone. It also has been tweaked for slightly more battery life.

Fixed the camera not responding issue

Removed Ezekeel’s Deep Idle

Fixed the hotplugging governors (aggressive, gallimaufry, interactive) to not hotplug during earlysuspend registration - this should fix the SOD’s. (thanks imoseyon)

Added PM_FAST/PM_MAX userspace module (Francisco Franco). What this does is you have the option to choose what wifi “mode” you want to use when your screen is off. Normally, the device uses PM_FAST when the screen is on, providing good, speedy wifi performance. But when the screen turns off, it switches to the PM_MAX mode, which slows the wifi down in an effort to save battery. However, this can affect someone streaming music, causing them to have lower quality audio. This patch allows that person to set the wifi mode to PM_FAST when the screen is off, improving their audio quality, but maybe at the cost of their battery life. To set it to enable PM_FAST on screen-off, you can type (in terminal emulator): echo 1 > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/wifi_pm and to disable it echo 0. Or you can just use franco’s app.

Added another patch from franco that powers down the wifi chip when wifi is disabled to save battery

Applied an omap patch: Don’t touch mpu and core state until CPU1 is off

Fix the LOAD_FREQ variable to equal 4.61 like it should, previously it equaled 5.73

Fixed the exponential values in sched.h to use 4.61 instead of 5 seconds

Applied Ezekeel’s latest Color/Sound Control commits
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
This is from jdkoreclipse on the status of the buildbot (where you guys download our kernels from):
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycdiplomat:
Bootloop when i flash v9 after wiping cache/dalvik coming from Franco. Pulled battery re-wiped and re-flashed. same thing. anyone else having this problem?

also redownloaded because i thought it was a bad download. bootlooped again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Try this:

Either delete everything in your /system/etc/init.d/ or remove the 99sonic script from the kernel zip then flash
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycdiplomat:
Thanks Sonic, that worked!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
Ill be trying out the new version this afternoon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
The kernel has been working really great for me. I didnt think it was possible for this to be any better than the last one, but you pulled it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Alright so I'm about to leave for vacation, so here's v10 (i'll update the op later) http://goo.gl/0ndoq

Changelog:

Updated to 4.0.4 source

Tweaked aggressive

Added touchscreen power off on screen off patch from turl

Allowed the cpu to go into a deeper C state - this should improve screen off battery life

Added TempControl from Imoseyon and Ezekeel, but limited highest temp to 75C because you shouldn't need to go any higher than that

Ezekeel's latest ColorControl bugfixes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
Awesome! Being on the 4.0.4 source, this would still work with a 4.0.03 based ROM, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Correct.

However, it will probably run slightly better with a 4.0.4 rom (but not much)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
Awesome, thank you! Running the v9 on GummyNex and it's GREAT. Love the battery life and much snappier than the GummyNex kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
v10.1 Changelog (Download here)

Mediascanner wakelocks should be fixed

Reverted using OSWR for the mpu in the C4 state - further research shows that the Google team tried this, but found that it was unstable and could be buggy (meaning it should fix any weird bugs you guys were having while your screen was off.) Also, we don’t have everything for the omap4460 thats needed to fully support the feature.

Separated the aggressive, gallimaufry, and interactive governors into 2 each: aggressive and aggressiveX, gallimaufry and gallimaufryX, and interactive and interactiveX. The ones with an X are the exact same as the ones from before, and the ones without an X don’t have hotplugging.

Added GPU OC Control by Imoseyon - this allows you to, on the fly, change your gpu frequency between 307MHz, 384MHz, 460MHz, and 512MHz. However, I also added a 460MHz slot, and made it so that smartreflex recalibrated the voltage after you change the gpu speed - this is because I am having the 460MHz and 512MHz run on a higher nominal voltage than the 307 and 384 (which run on the same), so users whose phones can’t run the higher frequencies on a lower voltage should be fine. And smartreflex will now lower the voltage if your device can handle it anyways.

Lowered the CPU Transition Latency from 30us to 10us

Doubled the max readahead from 512 to 1024 kbytes

Some select Patches

Some patches for Interactive and InteractiveX to improve speed and battery life

Some things from ch33kybutt:

Lowered the VAUX3 and VUSIM voltages

Tweaked PMIC for longer times in lower power states - but I changed it so that it comes out of the lower power states faster

Some other small stuff I probably forgot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Oh, I forgot.

To use GPU OC Control,

go to terminal emulator and type

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc

to change the frequencies, just replace the 0 with anything from 0 to 3

0 = 307MHz

1 = 384MHz

2 = 460MHz

3 = 512MHz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
Wow! Thats a lot of new tweaks and features :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
yeah. I'm thinking I release a bit more often so my changelogs aren't that massive :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MazinDLX:
How's this from Franco, via battery life and speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedfreak228:
I'm curious about this too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
The best way to find out would be to try it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
better battery life IMO, but not by a lot. Just as smooth, and more stable (my phone doesnt like 512MHz GPU)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fordmanck:
Giving this a whirl with CM. What governor are you all using? Are you using any screen off profiles or UVing? My battery life is horrid so far no matter the kernel and even with my extended life battery. Going to see what this nets me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdmove:
after waking up the phone, the phone loves to freeze for a few second at the unlock screen. also, every now and then the phone would vibrate for at least 3-4 seconds after unlocking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rldev:
Bluetooth Audio

This kernel has been great with one caveat. Bluetooth audio streaming does not work for me. I have also had this problem with Franco Kernels. I never seem to have the problem with Immosyeon kernels. I am on AKOP 31.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
even on 10.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oneeyedjoe:
I had the same problem with bluetooth streaming on 10.1. I just swapped to a different kernel yesterday and that fixed the problem, so it's definitely a kernel issue.

The strange thing is that it will connect automatically just fine, but no sound is played over bluetooth. Also, it would work right after I rebooted my phone, but if it had been on for a while (sorry, don't have any specifics there) it would no longer stream audio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Do you think you could get me a logcat and dmesg while this is happening? I don't have any devices that stream bluetooth so I can't test this for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farmerwill:
Can sum one tell me what these wake locks mean and what I can do to fix? Love the kernel though(just not the wake locks.) as this keeps my phone nice and cool and super smooth!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jb305:
I have just started using this kernel its the first time i have ever changed a kernel what are the best settings to get the best out of this kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
PopcornKernel v10.2 is here!

Download: http://goo.gl/HjYSg

This was mostly a release focusing on improving battery life and stability.

Changelog:

Updated to IMM76I

The problem with overclocking to 1.42GHz should be fixed

Added a 192MHz slot

Decreased the lowest voltage that smartreflex will go to so it can go lower for the new 192MHz slot

Added the gamma feature from omapzoom

Increased the max temperature, which will decrease latency

Some small tweaks to improve battery life

Some tweaks from Francisco Franco and ch33kybutt to improve battery life

Lots of patches

Some other stuff I probably forgot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Wifi, and the musb is just a standard wakelock I think. However, it's not that big of a deal because the one that held wakelocks the most (wifi) only held wakelocks for 42 seconds total over that 2hour some time period. You should only be concerned if it is constantly holding a wakelock and draining your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
You should be good to go without changing anything, but you might want to change your governor depending on how you use your phone (or which gives you better battery life). I recommend AggressiveX or GallimaufryX. Also, you might want to overclock, if you need the extra speed or underclock, if you don't care so much about speed and want better battery life.

(Both the above can be done in many different apps - most GNex ROM's have a "Performance" menu in their settings, or you can use apps like SetCPU, ROM Toolbox, etc.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmlhodge:
Me likes gallimafryx on 10.2 so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycdiplomat:
What's your "screen on" time? Also is that straight 3g/4g or was there some wifi time as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
PopcornKernel v10.3 is here!

Download: goo.gl/1XmxO

v10.3:

Switched to LZO Compression for faster boot up times (This is why the file is bigger)

Set 192MHz in its own OPP10 Fuse slot to allow for lower voltages

Gave CORE (GPU) its own OPP10 Fuse slot to allow for lower gpu voltages when on lower cpu frequencies

Lowered Retention Voltages for MPU, Core, and IVA

ARM: SMP: use a timing out completion for cpu hotplug

Patched Lowmemorykiller up to Linux 3.4

Added Simple IO Scheduler (SIO) and made default

Used TCP Westwood

tuna-wifi: do not randomize MAC if bootloader doesn't pass it - from Imoseyon

Added TouchWake by Ezekeel, and set it to be on by default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
I may have to try this kernel sometime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeCriggs:
What Linux version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
Just installed and its running great soo far. Will test battery tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
The kernel is running on 3.0.8 with some patches from 3.0.x, 3.3, and 3.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
Whats the max recommended level to undervolt safley? -50 or -75? Or should i leave the voltages stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
There is no problem leaving the voltages stock, but for undervolting, I usually can cut 100 and am fine, its all up to your phone. 100 is probably the max you should go, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tattedupboy:
Which governor is best for battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
I get great battery life with GallimaulfryX. With 47% remaining:

-14 hrs on battery

-on WiFi for 2 hours

-on 3G for the rest of the day (there's no 4G at my HS)

-1 hr 18 min of screen on

-45 minutes of Play Music

This is my first charge of the kernel by the way. Amazing so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
-6 0 7
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
What about the multipliers? Sorry to ask but im getting a purple tint on blacks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
They are unchanged
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
Alright, here's 10.3.1, lets see if this fixes the battery drain (it did for me)

download: http://goo.gl/1XmxO

Changelog:

I think I fixed the battery drain - it's fixed for me

Touchwake is disabled by default

Applied a bunch of smartreflex/voltage patches

Increased wifi voltage to 1.825V to improve stability
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
Im still getting a purple tint on black and cream color whites. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
What rom are you running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
Aokp build 36.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonicxml:
If the color multipliers in rom control are at 0, try moving them up to 60 and see how that goes - cm uses a different multiplier scale, and aokp follows that scale in rom control.
