You have a happy user in the Bugless Beast thread on Rootz who's been recommending this kernel. Having never heard of it I decided to investigate and found this thread.

I'd like to give James Bond a try but have a question. I have read that fsync being disabled can cause problems in Jelly Bqean but don't know enough about it to know whether that is true. I also see that your most recent update has 'fsync control'. Does this mean it is no longer disabled or that the user can enable?

Any input or pointing me in a direction to learn more about why/why not to enable/disable fsync is appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
I have two versions for jellybean right now. V3.2 and v3.2.1...one has fsync disabled and one not. To be honest I can't remember which one. I haven't pushed the changes and I am out of town so I won't have a definite answer til Sunday.

However most are running 3.2.1 and I have had no ill reports. ( no problems or on 3.2 either)

New updates coming Sunday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swest6602:
Thanks. Just going by the OP it looks like its 3.2 with fsync disabled. Hope you have a great weekend. Will likely wait till your update then give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
3.2 is not on the op...just 3.1. 3.2 has only been "released" on twitter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
OK well I'm running the 3.2.....amazing battery..... running EXTREME smooth. No issues. I'm happy. Thank you.

Edit: I should add that this feels like the fastest experience I've ever had on my phone as well. Apps and everything loads super speedy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bull_Moose:
Where can I find the link to 3.2? Nothing popped up when I searched on Twitter.

By far has to be the best jb kernel...I love this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
thanks, I really appreciate the feedback:D

que the mini rant...

I just noticed the Thread rating: 6 votes, 3.67 rating WTF!!

I can't tell you how much this bothers me. It's not like it is some obscure subject, like I don't know, there are a ton of them out there that shouldn't have been started in the first place.

The problem is the trolls that come here, and don't have the balls to actually make a post.

I don't ask for much, a thanks here and again and a 5 star rating. I put in countless hours for what?

My thread in the gsm section is 4.93...why are verizon owners so bitter? what do you guys expect?? (btw it is the exact same kernel)

this thread is on the verge of getting closed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1stx2:
Why does everybody have to be assholes? If you don't know what your doing don't blame the developer because you don't ****. This kernel is 1 of the best for the gnex. Show the man some damn respect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thenewguy821:
Is anybody running custom colors on this kernel? If so what would be a good starting place?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Yeah, stupid trolls! I've noticed a lot of threads have four stars (rounding to the nearest whole number), when they should really have five. In fact, one time I looked in the Q&A section and noticed almost every thread had one star! I looked at several of them and they were basically just people asking honest questions. I already voted on this thread and gave it five stars, but I suggest anyone else who uses and likes this kernel does the same. And if you notice something wrong with the kernel or don't like it for some reason, please post about it, so fixes can be made and the kernel improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sloprest:
A. Just rated 5 stars because this is a hugely informative thread

B. I used the 3.1.9.9 kernel on ICS and it rocked my phones socks off. Im a light user and had steller battery life. Under heavy 4G use it did much better than stock. Overall very happy and will be comming back to use when 4.1 kernels are available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Whenever I make the switch to JB, this will be my first choice, as I said last page, my battery life continues to improve.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
I'm seeing some impressive battery numbers, I'm going to give this kernel a try.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ktownhero:
Installed this kernel to give it a shot on my vzw gnex running JB. So far seems extremely smooth, time will tell how the battery life shakes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _base2:
battery info so far... WiFi on 100% of the time

ROM = jelly belly 3.6

Slots: 350-1350 / gov: interactive

I had crappy service in my office but no WiFi so that hits battery quite a bit

Time in state:

Overall, about on par w Trinity and Franco on battery. But IMHO, it's the smoothest kernel I've used so far. I'd deal with less battery for this buttery smooth goodness :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidzika:
How many days would I have to wait to rate a kernel? I've been running since I went to bed last night. I think I'll give it a couple of days before giving a report on it.

Help. I am not dumb, LOL, maybe I am dumb, but I have been flashing ROMs/Kernels for several years, but I just made a friggin rookie mistake by getting click happy. I flashed your 4.0.4 kernel on my 4.1.1 JB. Stuck on Google boot screen. I cannot believe I just did this. Can anyone help? Please. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parkson:
Did you do a previous backup? Pull battery and boot into recovery. Restore backup or start fresh, full wipe and start over.

*edit* I've never had the need to try, but it may be possible to dirty flash/overwrite and boot normally? Anyone correct me if this is ineffective, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parkson:
Double post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
just reflash your rom (wipe not needed)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thecoop:
Would love to, but I cannot get into CWM. I can boot to the fastboot screen but the phone is not recognized by any tools. It just sits on the first Google screen, where it shows the unlocked bootloader icon. UGH!!! I still cannot believe I did this. Thank you for any help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
the screen with the lock is not the fastboot screen. pull your battery and then press volume up+down and power until you get to the bootloader (fastboot) from there you can fastboot flash boot boot.img or go to the recovery navigating with the volume rocker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thecoop:
Thank you again, you were REALLY fast. I was on what I thought was the fastboot screen, I was just describing what screen a boot would freeze on, BUT, I wasn't hitting my buttons properly because I was not getting the rocker options at all, only start. This time I held up/down and then hit power and I'm good. Dumb dumb. Thank you again. I will flash the correct kernel this time. UGH!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
I personally run 317. Battery should be the same between the two, performance As well.

317 just has more features

It denotes the new sources released by Google it is being built from.

all changes for gsm...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Testingchip:
I love Franco and glados and lean but really don't understand why this doesn't get more love. It runs awesome on my setup. Did a patient zero nand restore and dropped this in. Wow!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:
Used this kernel a while ago and it was pretty smooth. Just retried it and 3.17 is *****in. Love the tweaks and battle life. Phone hasn't been smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
I agree completely. I noticed this kernel when I was first researching the gnex, but never tried it because everyone seemed to recommend franco or lean. I'm very glad that people started noticing and recommending this (on the VZW dev section, especially), because it seems to be the best kernel for battery life, without sacrificing performance or features like fast charge and volume booster.

Also, for anyone with the franco app, it's compatible with the khlang build of this kernel to change at least some of the settings (I've only tried fast charge and volume boost so far, but I assume it works with others as well; it also works to show the smartreflex calibrated voltages).

One more thing that I didn't notice mentioned earlier. This kernel is compatible with 4.0.3 ROMs in addition to 4.0.4 ones, which is good news for anyone like me who is on AOKP Milestone 4, waiting for M5 to be released (I'm not as much of a flashaholic as I once was).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Installing this now to see what all the hubbub is! :D

EDIT: Just wondering what you mean by fast charge. As in, how do we use that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CruzECO13:
Fastcharge is for charging the phone through USB as fast as AC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
How is that possible when the voltage from USB and AC is different?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahjee:
Should post this over on Root wiki bro, I very very rarely check xda any more, I couldve been using this for a minute now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
depends on your output of the usb outlet. for example, if your usb output is 700mA, without fast charge (enabled) you are limited to 500mA

So in this scenario, if you car has an usb outlet and you use that to charge your phone while navigating...the 500mA limit will not keep up with the radio/screen/gps usage, even if your car usb has 700mA output.

That was the reason for the implementation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
thanks, thats a valid point. but for now, I'd prefer that it stays here;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahjee:
Understood. I just gotta make a mental note to swing by
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Testingchip:
I probably wouldn't have found it if I hadn't heard about it on twitter. Quick GOOGLE and here I am.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Just out of curiosity, why is it called Jame Bond, instead of James Bond? Reference to FractalWalk/JAME application?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
It is a Thai reference, they say jame instead of jame(s)

I used to spend quite of bit of time over there...It was a nickname that I acquired while over there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Very cool! Thanks for answering my random question and thank you even more for making such an awesome kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Testingchip:
Trying to spread the word because this is the first kernel I've used that has given me 3hrs screen on time just abusing it and not cutting anything like sync or 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
About time Verizon users see the light. Verizon users really need your work to make it through the day on these battery hog radios. Your an interesting person OG. I see your twitter page says Hollywood stunt man and you spent time in Thai with the nickname of Jame bond? I will not ask any personal questions just saying :)

Very nice kernel, thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeardedB:
This Kernel changed some colors of some backgrounds on my phone. How do I fix/change this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
I had a random reboot this morning when my alarm started to go off (on the upside I didn't have to hit snooze) running 3.1.7 khlang (384 MHz GPU). I doubt it was due to the GPU overclocking, since I've ran kernels with that before, but I'm trying the 307 MHz GPU khlang to be sure.

I also had two data drops yesterday, where I was using the phone on 4g (Verizon LTE) and it just lost signal, then reconnected after a minute or two. The first time was on the train, so I thought maybe it just had trouble switching towers, but the second time was at home where I have a strong signal and I wasn't moving anywhere. I had this same problem when I was on lean kernel and I assumed it was a radio problem, so I tried different ones including the hybrid combinations, but that didn't fix it. What did fix it (or at least seemed to, since I didn't notice the problem for the several days I was on it) was flashing franco's nightly 141 (on the EK5 CDMA(4.0.2) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3) radios), making me think perhaps it was a kernel problem. It could just be that franco's nightly 141 had the GSM signal drop fix, which happened to fix it for CDMA/LTE as well; lean kernel and the 3.1 version of this kernel don't have that fix, so maybe I'll try the 3.1i version of this kernel and/or franco M3 and see if it happens again.

I'm currently on AOKP M4 with the EK5 CDMA(4.0.2) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3) radios.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Let SmartReflex calibrate your voltages, use interactive governor, turn off GPS when you're not using it (certain apps will use it in the background if it's on), use dark or black backgrounds whenever possible (the brighter the pixel, the more energy it requires; see here for inverted gapps and system apps), use auto-brightness (with custom light levels and select "allow light decrease", if possible; see attached for the light levels I use) or set the brightness at a level that's as low as possible but bright enough to comfortably use, decrease the vibration strength, use CPU Spy to make sure your phone's going into deep sleep, and use Better Battery Stats to check for wakelocks and renegade apps. Also, keep in mind that 3g and wifi use less energy than 4g, so when I know I won't be using my phone for a while or I'm in a bad signal area, I'll often switch to wifi or 3g.
