I've been using that app since JB4.2 and turning the widgets off does help immensely. Unfortunately, starting with JB4.2.2 it now kills the clock widget on every second screen on. I contacted the developer about this inconsistency but he told me there was nothing he could do. So the only option is to deal with it flipping back and forth on every screen on, or disable the clock widget entirely using the root hack he also has in his app so it's the uglier right-justified version all the time.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][13 MAR] franco.Kernel - r48

I am surprised since I don't get any problem with the clock widget using that app. I have a pattern screen lock, wonder if that makes a difference?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
I also use pattern. It wasn't a problem for me in JB4.2.1, but is now with JB4.2.2. Basically if you run his root hack (in the menu) to remove the clock widget you'll see there is still an underlying lockscreen clock that is right-justified. For some reason starting with JB4.2.2 on every second lock/screen-on with Widgets disabled in Lockscreen Policy I see the right-justified clock instead of the widget. This was before I experimented with his root hack so it's not some leftover there either. Anyway, the developer seemed to acknowledge the problem, but said there was nothing he could do. :(

I'm relatively new to changing kernels and i'd like some clarification please...

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr. Steve:
Yes.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Not seeing the screen-on or unlock delays in r48 as any longer than they normally are since JB4.2.2. If anyone wants to try the scheduler tweaks init.d script with uTorrent or whatever to see if they help, it's on my public folder: http://d-h.st/users/osm0sis

They should work for whatever scheduler you choose in f.Ku or Trickster, setting the tweaks just after the app sets the scheduler.

P.S. UV appears to still be broken judging by the way I can set them all to 600 without a crash. ;)

Fastboot flashed #48 (over #47) a couple of hours ago... all working fine thus far.

Can't say I've noticed any significant delay with lockscreen unlocking. Normally I have the lockscreen disabled, but given the reports here, I enabled it to experiment...

...and it instantaneously unlocked! - both from 'sleep' and a cold boot. So no problems there.

-----

I don't post on here very often, 'cos I don't feel qualified to do so. I know a fair bit about Android: how to root; how to fastboot flash etc... but kernel related stuff seems to me, to be a very specialized field, and much that gets discussed here goes WAY over my head... (tunables, hotplug, deadline, etc)... I'm not even sure I really know what a kernel ACTUALLY does... but I have some vague ideas!

Anyway, thanks to

Lockscreen/waking is laggy for me as well on r48. Takes multiple button presses sometimes to wake the screen, so back to 47 for me. Running latest CM10.1 nightly.

First impression r48 Smooths as butter (must be what Google had in mind when they introduced project butter).

yes there is some lag when you turn on the screen (don't bother me that much).

[Nexus 7 Original Development] MasterJ87:
Gonna flash r48 and give an initial report. Coming from another kernel (although I have used franco before with CM). Are there any recommended governors and schedulers for franco? Or should I just leave the defaults?

EDIT: Not using a lockscreen, but using a smartcover. The screen wakes after approx 2 seconds after opening the cover. So definitely not a good experience. Will continue using r48 for a few days to see if it improves.

BTW I didn't change any kernel settings after flashing. Defaults were interactive+deadline, min 102MHz and max 1300MHz.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Shano56:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][13 MAR] franco.Kernel - r48

Leave everything default and you will probably have the best experience. A possible solution for the lock screen delay is to raise the min frequency, which may sacrifice battery life
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MasterJ87:
Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't want to sacrifice battery life. Was the same lockscreen/wake delay present on r47?

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][13 MAR] franco.Kernel - r48

No issues so far with 48 there is a slight delay with the screen starting after pressing the power button but nothing real big. Will try with app installing and gaming and report back.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] MasterJ87:
So I just about completed my first charge cycle. Am currently on 17% with just over 4 hours on screen time, which is good enough for me. Usage included reading articles in Pocket, browsing on Chrome and social networking. Wifi was on and syncing practically the whole time (except when I was asleep at night). So no complaints with regards to battery life.

The screen wake problem however was still present. I randomly timed how long it took the screen to wake after opening my flip cover (also a few times with the cover already open and waking the device with the power button), and on average the screen woke after 1.88 seconds (ranging from 1.3-2.5 seconds, more than 10 times tested).

However I experienced no lags in actual usage, apart from some in-game lag which was also present on my previous kernel so probably not kernel related.

I'll give r48 another charge cycle just to be sure about the screen wake delay. If it persists I'll go to r47 as I want the best Franco experience available :)

The extra screen wakeup time some people are seeing are likely due to the hotplug driver change; I'm sure Franco will figure out something. :)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][13 MAR] franco.Kernel - r48

On r48 the hotplug driver has changed and now is using only 1 core for casual stuff . On r47 it uses 2 cores thats why it wakes faster. However for me batery is the same :)

In the CPU UV interface of your app, there are multiple entries for different frequencies at different voltages. At a guess, is this for different numbers of cores online, or something else?

Do you want charge it in 5 minutes to 100% and then after discharging in 10 minutes?

This is a crazy thing to ask...there are many things that can be optimized before and is widely confirmed that charging in fast charrging mode on every device in the world gretly lower battery life.

If I recall, the USB fast charge mod is to enable the N7 to charge, from a computer USB port or aftermarket USB charger to charge at the same potential rate as the supplied 2A USB charger that comes in the box.

2 things I don't like about this mod though. Firstly, most USB ports are designed with a max 500mA rating. Most will supply above that nowadays, but it's still out of design spec. Depending on how the hardware is behind your ports, this may cause problems in time.

Secondly, having seen the crappy build quality of some of the cheapy 3rd party USB chargers going around, in particular the 12V car USB chargers, I don't feel happy plugging them into device that could potentially draw more than the alloted 500mA again. If anything, when charging my phone or N7 in the car, I feel rather comforted that the device is doing its own current limiting.

So if USB fast charging is, or can be, enabled in this kernel, might I suggest that it is enabled via a setting in the Franco App and by default set to disabled?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
That's how he implemented it for the Gnex, so I'm sure he wouldn't do it any different for the N7. Fast charge also makes it impossible to use the USB cable for data, so even if you forget and leave it on, you tend to want it left off unless you need it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Am I the only one who got wake up issues that lasted like 10 seconds on r47 and before?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
I have it where you'd need to hit Power repeatedly to get the screen to turn on (a.k.a Screen Off Of Death), but that has been since JB4.2 in general, for most devices, and likely a product of the addition of lockscreen widgets. I honestly don't see a difference for r48 from what it's always been.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][13 MAR] franco.Kernel - r48

So far very stable. Wake is a little slow but Barrable setting I am using a case that wakes the tab when opened. Great download rate takes no time to download 1.6Gb of data (around 6 min on a 17Mbps connection). At default with read head at 512 load times where slightly longer than usual so amped it up to 1024 and load times where better.

Over clocked the GPU to 512 and tried with unity engine games, there was some video lag felt like it was dropping from 60 to 45 fps with random lag spikes. May be an issue the dev of some of these games have not fixed. Tried unreal engine games all ran smooth as butter same with havok engine games. So benchmark THD games work with out flaw.

No WiFi issues (thank God) and video playback works with out issue with stream and off device storage. So far the CPU is set for ondemand over night and only lost 5% battery within a 7 hour idle period. Will give a full charge and try with casual use (personally I use the tab All day so maybe more than casual use.)

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][13 MAR] franco.Kernel - r48

Sorry I find this comical. A kernel cannot fry a speaker, Sod is generally due to running to low a clock setting on your CPU during idle Or some sort of user error when playing with the voltage settings. The only way the speaker could have been blown out is if you boosted the sound output far beyond the tablet's limits. And yes some apps have that function, DPS manager does and many other apps on the play store. So please don't blame the kernel or its developer for your error.
