I will go ahead and recommend eclipse, very smooth...like crazy smooth.....no matter what kernel (see below)

Same here, very smooth and good battery.

I'm jumping back and forth between this and faux kernel.(side note, using this kernels ramdisk,faux kernel and eclipse ROM is good combination)

Been running r7 since Franco gave us the pleasure of using it, and i must say, it's been REALLY good to me.

Haven't changed any defaults. (well, turned fsync off, decided to "risk it" for testing purposes lol, I'm usually against it, no issues from it yet tho, not expecting any tho :D ) except i use root explorer to set the cpu_tegra cap to 1100mhz, and still smoother than ever.

I've been wanting forever a kernel that runs in 100mhz. Just to see what it performs like. And I'm impressed.

Fairly even usage across most freqs, and i belive that's what's making it feel so smooth also.

(the pic only shows since just unplug, but it was fairly close across 8hrs use also)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lukasb9000:
I'm not sure if this is a issue with this kernel but if I'm not mistaken I read about undervolting here and I think that can be the cause of my problem:

My screen sometimes goes black for like half a second. This happens while on 2d stuff like chrome and Facebook but also while playing 3d games... While playing the games I noticed that while the screen flickers the game freezes and then when the display is back it runs normally again.... So could this be my n7 not being able too handle the undervolting?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
what rom is this on?

I was having black flashing in the twitter app and sometimes in chrome on CM10. Switched to an AOSP rom and its all gone. Wasnt kernel related in my case.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
I only undervolted by -25mV, that shouldn't be causing any ****. What rom are you using? I can't reproduce that problem what so ever.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sotoskawasaki:
I was having this problem on AOKP build 2. Actually a lot of people were affected by that with that rom. It is possible that it affects other roms although I havent heard anything. Anyway it seems its specific to certain roms and not the Kernel.

Franco, do you know why some users are experiencing huge io slowdown and lags when the free storage is under 3-4gb or so ?

Does your kernel prevent for that problem ??? I got it once, but after a full refresh, i try now to stay with at least 6.5gb free on my sd card...

1. Open a command prompt in the folder where your fastboot.exe lives. Typically this is the platform-tools directory in the SDK.

2. Enter this command: fastboot flash boot name_of_the_image.img (should save the .img in same folder with fastboot.exe)

is this clearly?

Today I set 1000Mhz max frequency with Francos app but it doesn't seems to work. I see 1300Mhz still works all time. Is it a bug or something? Also in hotplug control I set cpu to use 2 cores only. This feature seems to work.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Not a bug, just that underclocking hasn't been implemented yet. Franco has to compile his own modded grouper PowerHAL to do so, and hasn't gotten to it.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Yup. Like I said, it's a JB4.2.x bug, likely to do with the new lock screen widgets.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][15 FEB] franco.Kernel - r47

That's not fact at all. I flashed Faux and other JB4.2.x and they did not have a on screen delay. In fact, I'm on 4.2.2 and tested both Faux and Franco and indeed Franco had a delay and Faux didn't. Now, is it killing me? No, but indeed it's there. After about a week you will get used to it and forget that it's even there...anyway thanks Franco for you hard great work!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] timfimjim:
I'm not leaving to go to faux, it's either franco or stock for me. Franco is by far the best custom kernel, it brings performance enhancements with better battery life. The only thing is that i'm getting these SODs so I can't practically run this kernel.

If it is just a bug in 4.2.x that's annoying, but also I was using franco fine on 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 but it seems since my change to 4.2.2...

Weird!

Anyway thanks Franco for a great kernel. Keep going and I'll try new versions and post here if it starts working again! :D

Holy ****! I have the same problem and it took me a while to figured out that it was the kernel's fault. It froze after about 30 mins of using or sleeping and I have to hard reset every time. I'm using PA ROM and stock kernel right now without any issue. I was getting so frustrated and pissed when I was downloading torrents and it never got a chance to finish.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][15 FEB] franco.Kernel - r47

I have the same problem. I had the problem on 4.2.1 and is continued after i upgraded to 4.2.2. I am on Nakasi stock except the root and this kernel. My system almost never wakes up after sleeping for about more than an hour. This morning i charged to about 80% and did not use my tab for the whole day. I had to hard reset to find that i was down to about 45%. I have tried using other kernels and this problem does not occur with them or the stock kernel.

Franco, please help. Happy to help gather info that you need. Please let me know what and how.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
It exists for me on stock kernel, so it's Google's fault. I'd be interested to know if/how Faux fixed it. It's been a problem since 4.2 and further proof it's the widgets can be seen in that using Lockscreen Policy to disable them pretty much resolves it.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][15 FEB] franco.Kernel - r47

[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][15 FEB] franco.Kernel - r47

Support for non nexus devices was dropped due to Franco moving from Europe to USA, getting a new job which is more time consuming and he simply had not enough time for all of them. I think even now he's not finding it easy with his work life, personal life and keeping up with 4 devices he develops for. I don't think you understand the nature of this site being aimed at developers with experimental software where things can go wrong and no warranty is provided, that's why stock rom is there to use as it is in a stable manor with all functions working correctly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Sadly, yes, just like that fellow with the N4... Franco's N7 zip flashes directly to the mmcblk0p2 mount, not the safer by-name which would only work on tegra architecture, so you overwrote whatever's in that partition on the toro. :(

Franco has assured us this will be fixed soon. It sucks that you mistook a N7 zip for a GN one, pure bad luck.. You'll need to try the OMAPflash script, it's pretty much your only hope with a completely bricked GN..

Edit:

Just to have them in here again, here are the changes which need to be made in the zip updater-script:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");

to

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX"));

Given, it's a shame that people out there are somehow grabbing N7 zips and flashing them on their GN or N4 without being sure it's the right device, but of course it's still much nicer if the zips protect against this somewhat with the by-name, and the assert will ensure it throws up an error if they do try and do it on a device that doesn't have matching architecture.

It would be good to have that assert wrapper on the extract by-name line for the zips of all the devices actually.

Also wouldn't hurt to include an actual device check.

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "grouper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "grouper" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "tilapia" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tilapia");
unmount("/system");
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zaclimon:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][15 FEB] franco.Kernel - r47

I doubt it have it but does the gn have the Odin, heimdall interface?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Odin is download mode, he said that's gone too. Here is his only hope if he can't reach odin, fastboot or recovery due to a corrupted GN bootloader:

mmcblk0p2 is sbl on the GN; that's part of the bootloader, so this definitely seems to be the case here. :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] zaclimon:
Re: [KERNEL][GPL][N7][15 FEB] franco.Kernel - r47

So the gn does have the Odin and download mode right?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Yup. Like I said, the GN has the bootloader (fastboot), recovery (adb), and ODIN (download mode). bootloader is holding all 3 buttons from off, and I believe ODIN is Vol Up+Power. Problem is ODIN is also part of the bootloader, I think it might even be sbl, and you need a working bootloader to get to any of those modes.

Anyways, the best of luck to Murphy in this crappy situation.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
Yeah, can't get into ODIN as well...I'll try the method above and let you know :)

EDIT: HOLY sh*t!!!! It worked!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Knock off with the flaming please.

I see a flaming war about to start, and, if anybody's going to win it, I promise it will be "Me".

You have an RP button. Use it please.

RC's and RT's, I expect better from you. And this goes for Senior members also.

Kernels and Roms don't work well for "everybody". Understand this. If you have an issue, then be concise in your explanation and attach a "logcat or dmesg" when needed. Just saying "this kernel sucks" means absolutely squat, and does nothing to further development.

If you can't be mature about reporting an issue, and feel the need for blasting the Dev, RT's or RC's or others with "colorful metaphors and acronyms", then I advise you just back off from the keyboard for awhile, and move along and try some other development.

There's only "1" Troll around here, and that's ME.
