clear franco updater & play store but to no avail :confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] guizmogwai:
Hi there.

Many thanx for this great Kernel.

I just bought the Franco Kernel updater on the playstore, it offers many options.

I'm noob on this kernel but I saw that you're all talking about rev999. What is this version? A beta one? Because I couldn't find it on the updater.

Are there some good configuration to have the best perfomances on this kernel?

Many thanks.

This is r999v2 use a file explorer to move the boot.img into sdcard/kernel_backup/

Then go to the Franco app and click kernel backup/restore and restore the boot.img then your done :)

Edit: The stock settings are fine but feel free to play with them to get your best balance between battery life and performance :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
yep
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
You can flash the boot.img from in the app and wipe the data from r61 osmod so there are no conflicts :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] konradsa:
Interesting your app usage is only 10.3%. Mine is usually more in the 30-40% range. What apps are you using mostly and what is your screen brightness set to?

Incredible that's faster than ever... Thanx for the help and the kernel

My device is encrypted and I have the same issue - the device boot loops before being able to enter the decryption password. Haven't had this issue with other Franco kernel versions.

I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache from recovery as well as using the kernel reset zip, but to no avail. Back running the stock kernel now which I restored from recovery.

Has anyone using an encrypted device managed to get r999v2 working?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ktkr:
Just tried r999v2 and it is really amazing, I saw [MENTION=410271]fransisco[/MENTION]franco has further improved it in the mako thread (over 200 rev's!), it must be much better when that got synced to grouper. xD
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Will32:
Just have a quick question, I just downloaded nightly r 61 and I'm wondering if I just install it like I install kernels on my phone. Just go to recovery and flash it? I'm running slim bean but this will be my first kernel install attempt.

I guess what's confusing me is the boot image download and commands in the op.

Edit.. Also, this is for the WiFi only nexus 7 right?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nico_60:
If you have downloaded the kernel in zip file format then flash it with your recovery and yes it works with grouper (nexus 7 wifi only)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Will32:
Awesome! Thanks! What about this r999v2? I didn't see it in the op. Does it come in zip format?

Scratch that, I'll search for it. Thanks again :thumbup:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nico_60:
You can flash flash it (boot.img) using fastboot or delete boot.img in the zip file and put r999v2 instead and flash with recovery

Bug report

Severity: minor

The latest update attempts to run in landscape mode. This is good because I use a Nexus 7 tablet and it's almost always in landscape. What fails is doing anything after the first initial status screen. The screen redraws in portrait orientation even though I'm holding the tablet in landscape orientation and doesn't change back. Not even when backing up to the initial status screen. All functions correctly its just the forced orientation that's at issue.

Pardon me if I'm late to the party and the Netflix issue has been sorted out, but for people like me who have consistently been having serious issues (freezing/hard reboots) with Netflix on r61 Osmod, I think I found a solution.

To be clear, this is for people who have great success with Osmod, sans serious playback issues with Netflix.

It's the custom black modded Netflix that used to be being developed on XDA a while back (I searched and it seems the thread is no longer live) and upon research and digging, it seems it works wonders on AOSP ROMs where the standard Netflix apk causes problems.

I've been using it for four days with zero freezes. It still has some minor stuttering, usually at the start of playback, but a short (5-10s) pause is all that's needed and then you're good to go without any threat of hard freezes.

Disclaimer: I am not the developer of this apk and all credit goes to the original dev. If anyone knows who this person is please let me know. Also, if this breaks any forum rules, let me know and I'll be happy to take it down.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] mikespe:
One little trick I figured out...if you put the boot.img in the kernel backups folder you can use the Franco app to flash it as well. I renamed it to the version number (999v2.img)...

Franco kernel bug

Hi Francisco!

I've found a bug while using your kernel on Nexus 7 Wifi (32GB).

I occasionally download MS, Linux .iso torrents, but when the torrent client like tTorrent establishes over 25 outgoing TCP connections, I usually get SOD - this is problem only in your kernel, since it works flawlessly in most kernels (_motley, trinity)

Please investigate this problem further.

Best regards,

Martin
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fozzie:
What TCP Congestion Avoidance algorithm? Have you tried any different ones?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sgt. meow:
It's got something to do with schedulers or TCP congestion methods (thanks [MENTION=332323]fozzie[/MENTION]). Can't remember which fixes it though. Search the thread for torrent problems (using more appropriate keywords, of course) and you'll find the solution.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] frost_nz:
From memory, I think switching scheduler to ROW fixes it...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] blueeyeblue:
I forgot to mention, I'm sorry for that. Tried cubic (default) and vegas.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bobtehblob:
Sigh... I really need to stop being greedy and turning fsync off. Bootloops <3
[Nexus 7 Original Development] EdForce1:
Is the zip that franco posted earlier r999v1 or v2?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dwxvi:
Laughed a bit too much at that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fozzie:
Try Westwood. That seems to be a common one...but it may not fix your problem.

Try changing the IO scheduler to ROW.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slybunda:
just tested the kernel and noticed that the reason it seems to be quicker is that 2 cores are online all the time.

time will tell how that's gonna effect the battery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] VanillaG0rilla:
Franco said a few pages back it shouldn't take a hit.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bjcrj:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] ozzman54:
I'm on CM10.1 Nightly 06/01 and I flashed r999v2 a few days ago and it's been a huge improvement over M-Kernel a56 which I've been using for the past month. This is very smooth and responsive and great battery life so far. No more lag and stuttering, especially while scrolling like before.

Thanks Franco
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jpm168:
Hi guys do I need to do a reset when going from r61 to r999v2? Or just flash img and its good to go?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xFuGiToiDx:
You could just flash it, but I would suggest flashing osmosis emergency kernel reset fix first then flash the kernel

Just bought francos app, and flashed r999, and......holy crap keeping 2nd core online makes a huge difference, its like i have a brand new tablet. Thanks for all your hard work peeps, it has deff paid off.

Edit: I've been using m-kernel for a long time, and i feel like these settings without overclocking are much better, sorry metallice lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ktkr:
Of course I'm running it now and it runs very well for me. Take a look at the mako commits in the past few days you'll find he's done some improvements to the new algorithm, so I think what's coming to grouper/ already on mako could be only better than r999.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
That's why I said the mako stuff has kind of cover to grouper, I have been reading through the mako committee and there have been some interesting changes and they have been great on the device, especially r154, and I agree if and when the new features from mako get implemented in the next grouper kernel it will probably be better than r999v2 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fgenari:

I experienced a full reboot followed by a hot reboot (just the GUI dying) today. This was the first time since I got my tablet 8 months ago. I just started using the kernel a week ago. I suspect that the kernel is the issue but before I bother the developer is there anything I can do to determine if its the kernel myself? Logs to look at or some program to run or some set of commands to issue in a terminal? That sort of thing?

Today, my tablet was totally unusable. I had this weird ghost-touch issue, where the tablet behaved like it was permanently being touched all over the screen, it was freaky. I had to manually reset into bootloader and restart it. And then it happened imidiately again. I was running r999v2, but am reverting back to r61 osmod.

Have you disabled logger from the custom kernel settings in f.ku? Enable it and reboot.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slovenec88:
Didn't. Already checked the option and it's enabled.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] why always me:
On r999v2 for a few days so impressive this kernel is really smooth without any oc or any others tweaks needed, I'm used to be on some other kernel with 1.6 oc and many other tweaks its benchmark scores are high as hell but in term of real-feel nothing can compare with r999v2 IMO.

Your governor/hotplug algorithm is genius.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] RootTheMachine:
Enabled as in unchecked?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] slovenec88:
Exactly :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Vyrus69:
Where is this kernel fix at? I'm trying out different kernels and trying m56 causes a boot loop so I have to reflash Franco for the the tablet to boot up.

bring your tablet into fastboot mode

then flash via adb:

I want to create a .ZIP of 999v2, is following the correct way?

2. Extract 999v1 and replace the boot.img of 999v1 with 999v2

3. Create a .ZIP of that

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Metallice:
The undervolt interface on this kernel appears to be broken/incorrect. It seems to be based on the scaling frequencies instead of the dvfs frequencies. In its current state it seems to be suggesting you can set the voltage for frequencies under 475Mhz which is impossible as those relate to the companion core.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nbsss:
Anyone tried this kernel with jays tweaks?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] leelaa:
Ok so on my galaxy nexus, if had my max cpu @ 1300 and when to interative govenor control, the hispeed_freq would be 1300000. But on the 7 when i am @ 1300 its only showing as 700000 in govenor control. Should i put this to 1300000 also? Sorry if this sounds confusing.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ÜBER™:
Pointless.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Nbsss:
Thought as much. How about the "remount /data" section, is that included also in this kernel? Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ÜBER™:
That is actually practical. It helps with write and read of things.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] myepicyear:
No. It's tuned exactly the way it should be. Franco has tried some different setting, and it seems he has settled on this spot for now.

You might want to set your GN to 700000 too(or 729600 if you're using franco's kernel). It's the Google stock setting, and it will give you much better battery life

This specific parameter ramps up the frequency, on the initial cpu load, to the specified level. If the cpu load stays high for a specified amount of time, the frequency is/can be boosted higher.

So basically, if you set it to the max speed(which is technically the Interactive governor's default setting)it will ramp up to the max speed right away, as opposed to letting the cpu try the activity at 700MHz first(which is almost always enough to handle moderately heavy tasks on decent Android devices).

There are many ways to set these parameters, while still keeping a similar philosophy, and some other developers(like Morfic)prefer the more traditional approach to Interactive. However Google used this alternative approach with their Jellybean vision in mind, and for the most part, it works very well. Franco has stated his intention to use as much of Google's design as possible, only seeking to fix/enhance things that don't stray too far from their design--even if only for the purpose of maintaining the best possible compatibility.

Short answer:No reason for concern. All is as it should be. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] M3drvr:
How come I don't see anyone coming up with color tuning for this device? No one figured out how to yet? Or is it not possible? I think it could solve a lot of color issues people have. I know you have it on the other devices you develop for, so just curious.

Anyways, enjoying the latest version of your kernel Franco. Good job. Running perfectly, no issues. No reboots or anything. After solving my issue with it not going above 300mhz all is awesome!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JRJ442:
I'm thinking they're probably wanting to get the kernel a little more mature before they start adding that. I'm reasonably certain its possible.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] alextso321:
I am not so sure how to flash this rom. Would you mind making a flashable version ? thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
You can read the OP, then connect the nexus to your computer and use fastboot to flash it in Bootloader state.

Alternatively, get the franco.Kernel upadater from he market and use it to auto-flash it. Both Free and paid version work.

Please use some time to search as this has been aswered many times. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Wow... where to begin? First, it's not a ROM, its a kernel, and if you don't know the difference or how to flash manually in fastboot then you shouldn't be doing it at all.

More like it's an LCD and not an AMOLED. Since oleds are emitting their own light, there's pretty much always an easy way to control how much light those color oleds are emmiting. Also AMOLEDs aren't nearly as mature as LCDs so a lot of calibration has to occur after production to deal with the varying subpixel color intensities and varying decay rate of each color.. this calibration usually leaves nice parameters for us to tweak :).
