Just amazing this kernel!

I'd get half of it with Stock...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Martin-Doc:
Is it possible to use an overclocking app like antutu cpu master pro, while having franco kernel updater installed? The antutu app offers me setting profiles for different states of the device, which I would like to take advantage of.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] spaceman860:
No there is no OC in this kernel

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Martin-Doc:
Thank you cpt. Obvious!

I want to use for underclocking while screen is off and when the battery is low.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] spaceman860:
Well your post said you wanted to use a OVERCLOCKING app so.....

If you use two kernel apps... You're Gunna have a bad time.

Use one or the other.

Some clarification

Good advice for the uninitiated, but not necessarily true, just takes a little more precaution to do it right. For example, I use Franco Updater to control the voltage (-50mV undervolt across the board) and ROM Toolbox Pro to control the frequency and governor for various states (Screen on/off, charging/low batt). The trick is, in FKU, under Frequencies/Voltages, do NOT check "Set CPU settings on boot" or "Set governor control on boot" (Since those are handled by RTP's profiles), only check the box when in Voltage Control (On FKU app) to set voltages on boot. That way, all the Franco app is doing is setting the voltages available to the CPU, while your other app (In my case ROM Toolbox Pro) is left to switch the frequencies and governor on the fly. To take it even a step further, instead of ROM Toolbox Pro or SetCPU etc, you could use Tasker to set up profiles for not only different screen and battery states, but on an app by app basis; underclock for less intensive apps and full clock speed for gaming and high load apps, but that's a whole 'nother story! As I said, your advice is sound for those still on the bunny slopes, but eventually you're gonna wanna stop having to pizza all the time and go full on french fry! (Great reference by the way, loved that episode! lol)

Can these settings be inputted into trickster?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Of course, but its not in that exact order in trickster so just be careful as you put in the numbers. I forgot which way round they are in that app.

hot plug

85/20/50

im looking at the settings and under gov control i have 10 setting that i can change not 6

and i have nothing on hot plug ???

thanx
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Here's a screen shot of what you need, don't worry about timer_slack or bootpulse_duration. I don't know if you can change hot plug values using trickster so I would recommend you buy the Franco app if you are able to
[Nexus 7 Original Development] guinnes.s:
Thanx I cloned your settings, I m using the Franco paid app, the hot plug window settings is empty??

OK I did find the settings, so that's all??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
whats optimal for battery life? franco kernel with stock rom or franco kernel with cm10.1 rom?

is there a specific combination of rom and kernel that will give superior battery life or does rom not actually matter and its just the kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fozzie:
Really depends on your usage pattern. Try all the combinations and decide for yourself ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
well I mainly use it for internet browsing, youtube and few tower defense games. lol.

also use sygic on it often for gps while driving.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
Both ROM's will be fine for battery life but it just depends on which ROM you want, cyanogenmod has more features than stock, that's why I use it :)

N4/N7 - CM 10.1 Nightly, Franco Kernel
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Hahaha you call it features I call it **** I don't want / need ;) since jellybean landed I haven't really felt the need for roms but my old phone I was always flashing and my nexus 7 has never had any other rom than stock. Its difficult to recommend these things to others as they might want different features so my own recommendation is look at the 1st post for the popular ROMs and see if there's anything that floats your boat, if not or want a simpler way to apply the all important OTA then stay stock :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
is it normal to see only 5 cpu clock speed settings? I thought this kernel went through a lot more frequency steps then just 5? im seeing 204mhz up to 1300, with 3 steps inbetween?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Reducing the number of steps makes interactive much much happier. Something I hypothesized from playing around on the GN and we pretty much proved over here. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
tweaking hotplug I find to be very good no longer have additional cores coming online when cpu is hardly being used at all.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cfmusicman:
Derp meant to post this on the N4 version thread (I'm subscribed to both) please ignore
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
how are you guys managing on undervolting? iv set it to -100mx on all speeds and been running linpak tests and games and other cpu testers and not having any issues. didn't know the tegra3 could handle such an undervolt. the cpu temps are deffo running lower than on stock kernel
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
UV is broken as far as I'm aware.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
Spoiler content hidden.

Screenshot with voltages at their lowest possible values

N7/N4 - CM10.1 Nightly, Franco Kernel
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RootTheMachine:
I don't think it's broken... it just simply can't be set that low because of a built in limit (I think Franco mentioned that at some point). I can consistently make my device crash by UVing the upper 2 frequencies by -125mV.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
There is no way 1300MHz should be able to run at 600mV, which is the limit Franco mentioned. Setting it lower, ie. 575 will still revert to 600. So nexusmaniac is correct, and UV continues to be broken. You can still make it crash through the UV interface in some weird circumstances we experimented with from Trickster, but it's not because of the voltages.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
korockinout13 if you say you get stability issues by undervolting -125mv then looks like it may be working otherwise you could set it to any figure and it would make no difference to stability.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
I can see the monitor showing 4 cores and the usage graph but why is there nothing that shows the 5th companion cores use time?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nazz.rule:
Franco disabled it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ÜBER™:
Also the fact that its not a physical core.. nothing will pick it up anyways. It used to be anything under the 400mhz mark was the virtual core.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Been away for awhile since the YouTube video issues. Is that fixed on the recent build?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] konradsa:
Fixed if you change the hotplug and governor settings discussed earlier in this forum.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
r60 raising the min to 204MHz fixed it for many. Those that it didn't fix it for, so far, are reporting The Gingerbread Man's tweaked winning tunables fix it. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
why do that for? low power core should be better for battery. dunno though,
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
does this kernel have USB OTG enabled or is an app still needed to mount usb sticks?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fozzie:
You'll need something like StickMount.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
ok thanks.

how are you guys doing with this kernel for battery life?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Allosaur:
Great. Get a couple of days from it though I'm not a gamer.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] khaytsus:
This has all been long gone over, but basically the penalty switching from the companion core to the primary core(s) was too high. It was actually a better experience and (someone correct me if I'm wrong) BETTER battery life to not do the switch.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
ahh ok my apologies iv only just unlocked the bootloader and modded my nexus 7 yesterday and got this kernel installed.

any tips on maximising battery life? do you have any hotplug and governor tips? so far im running conservative governor.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Read the last 10-15 pages and I posted some good settings within there.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Charmacas:
Yeah that's right. I am using your settings and they make a huge difference in performance. Battery life seems to be the same within idle. And because of the snappier settings the battery drains a bit more when using the device but you won't notice it. ;)

hi all,

My franco kernel app (paid one) updated to latest (v9.3.5). Today, when I was checking it out, I clicked Frequencies/Voltage option, it gave me FC - : Unfortunately Franco.Kernel updater Stopped

it seems like it is only happens if I click Frequencies/Voltage option in the app.

do any of you having the same issue? or is it only me??

I cleared app data, rebooted, re-installed...still the same issue.:crying:

I have no idea what's happening, I would greatly appreciated if any of you can provide some feedback!

whats better for battery, running a single core at 1.3ghz or running multiple cores at lower clock speeds?

Single core at 1.3ghz.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
hmm, need play with hotplug settings then and try to make additional cores only power on when load is very high as in like 80% or so.

are you guys seeing any difference in battery live between conservative governor and interactive governor?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Can I just point out the settings you posted are just a copy of the ones I posted from the 8th May and you have been asking questions about them since and now you sound like you are trying to claim it as your own work. I appreciate your trying to help other users but I'm sure you can see my point of view here. The Franco Dev Team is the guys to thank for the interactive tunables and also all of the tweaked io schedulars and also hopefully other stuff to get merged in the future. Proper credit would be nice, not to me but the Franco Dev Team who have put many many many hours into coming up with this cool stuff for everyone to use
[Nexus 7 Original Development] igerup:
Battery drain is very low with r61. Compared to the stock kernel, anyway.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
I was not claiming anything here...where in my post says "my settings"??. I was respected to you, even thanked to you, but obviously I am now kind of regretting. I will edit my post.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Well its actually the first thing you say, in nice big bold letters.... Anyway I'm not here to pick fights or argue and you don't have to edit your post dont worry but it was just its more how you worded your post saying you say 'here's my settings' when its clear its the same as 'mine' if i can call it that. So perhaps thats something to think about in future is just more how you word things.

Can we have USB HOST (as in Timur's USB host kernel?

I like the battery life extension of Franco kernel, but I also like being able to both charge and use USB devices of Timur's kernel. I don't need all the other features of Timur's kernel, my specific need is to able to use the PPP-widget to drive an external 4G dongle and power from USB battery so my internal battery lasts much longer.

Right now I'm using ROM Manager app to switch between downloaded Franco and downloaded Timur kernels.

I mostly want Franco's features, sometimes Timur.

A merger of the 2 features would be good.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] simms22:
let me guess, you used a root tool? before ever rooting/flashing your device, learn how to do it first. commands, terminology, etc. or you will brick your device eventually. fastboot is something everyone needs to know, or at least become familiar with, before ever modifying your device. dont use root toolkits if you arent familiar with modifying your device.

from google, and there are many more links to information..

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-z-what-fastboot

http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/fastboot-guide

btw, Francisco kept his kernel in an .img form to keep people unfamiliar with modifying their devices from bricking their devices.

Exactly. I dont care if I have 100000 users or 100, I just want that the ones I have to be familiar enough to mess with their devices.

Does this have CIFS built in?

Also OTG like on my Note? (Not sure this is a kernel issue).
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
Aren't your Galaxy Nexus kernels available in a zip? I don't care either way, I'll use fastboot for this.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] simms22:
i think that since this is still fresh, its more experimental than usual. and that francisco wants more experienced users to test out the first few builds, just in case there are issues that he missed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] airmaxx23:
That makes sense.:good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] leelaa:
Not all of them, if its a test build that he needs a more experianced group of users to test who are experianced with fast boot, then usualy he releases a boot.img on his google+. As this is his first release for nexus 7 then he has posted it here. Thats my theory anyway. Iam sure franco will correct me if iam wrong ;)

No CIFS here, and never will be.

OTG works fine.

Correct!

Thanks for initiating the interesting and heated debate on Faux kernel and how to improve i/o I thought I would also try out your img and I'm impressed the game plays are smooth nothing bad to report everything appeaes to work as normal since last night although benchmarks are not that important I've attached the result if you compare the one I put on Faux last night i/o appears impressive in comparison. I did also notice very smooth graphics the fps were stable and much higher in comparison to Faux. runs on GLbenchmark also confirmed this. No reboots or any other issues to report just yet will carry on using it as I dont see any stability issues compared to stock.

I am using eclipse and have been running R-9, R-12 last night and R-13 today. Have never had the SOD.

Still using r9 here, and battery life has been excellent.

OK, only light use over the last couple of days, mostly ebooks with an hour or so of stick tennis thrown in but so far.

2 days 8 hours on battery, 4 hours 20 mins of that screen and still 43% battery left. That'll do, pig. That'll do....

As for SODs, I did have one when I first flashed r9 but none since. However, I forgot to get last_kmsg at this point and I've not had one since.

Those of you who are getting SODs, post last_kmesg as that'll help the dev, and others who understand these things, pinpoint what the cause is. Just saying "Help! SOD!" is not much use by itself. :)
