New minor osmod up with a newer, slimmer busybox binary (for whatever that's worth), fixes to the lmk whitelist script, and the changes to the vm tunables Franco's Dev Team has in the final rounds of testing (basically just reverts them to their Android defaults except for a couple differences).

http://d-h.st/users/osm0sis/osmod/

If you're running any Franco's Dev Team init.d scripts you can/should remove them if you're running the above, since it's pretty much all included. We are also in the final rounds of testing lmk tweaks (in 925vm), but I left those out since we're a little less sure about them.

When in doubt, use my Kernel Emergency Settings Reset Zip to make sure you're running clean from control app and init.d interference.

I'm new to this image stuff a while back I used grouper 61 and it worked flawless. Wondering which one to use this time around tuna or grouper with r65? Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
grouper is Google's codename for the N7. tuna is their codename for the GN. mako N4, manta N10; they like big fish.

Good thing you flashed grouper.. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] darjan86:
Osm0sis please attach a flashable zip of the file because I wanna flash it after the emergency script from the recovery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Just rename it to boot.img and put it in Franco's r65 zip. Crazy simple.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hotrodwinston:
You mean r65?

Even simpler is just use Christian Gollner's new app flashify - just select the img file and press flash! Reboot and done!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Argh. Yeah. Thanks. Him mentioning tuna which is at r382 while this device is at r65 apparently confused me too. :p
[Nexus 7 Original Development] darjan86:
Thanks osm0sis I figured it out easily, fleshed emergency script and than your mod both from the cwm recovery now testing and so far everything is good like on r65 :)

Finally, my problems with torrents is gone!!! Everything running perfect here, sorry bad english and thanks Osmosis

:)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Hey mate is it the ramdisk that's preventing us from native USB storage etc? If so is there any chance that in your next osmod you can add it in? :) please :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Interesting, this implies that somehow the vm might be involved in the torrent issue. Crazy, but weirder things have happened, I guess. ;) Can anyone confirm?

Nah that's a kernel driver thing I believe. Franco stated he added native OTG awhile back but I don't think it was ever fully working.

What is stock GPU?

Oops never mind...got it
[Nexus 7 Original Development] olivercervera:
Uhm, this kernel now has a little GPU overclock like the galaxy Nexus one (always made by Franco)?

I'm new in Nexus 7 development. How about voltages? Franco few time ago implemented the 384gpu over clock in Galaxy Nexus using voltages similar to stock GPU, without changes in battery life. And in this kernel???
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
No voltages change when overclocking the GPU.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] :
Been using your kernel and Aokp for a lil over a week.. Seems smoother than others I've tried... I like that you bumped the gpu up just a little and not alot. :thumbup: Another great Franco kernel and will 0nly get better.:cool:

Wow wow wow... :laugh: My idol.... :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] capoooro:
Tnx.... I'm trying your kernel now with stock S version.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
Yes. Its semi working at the moment. I can underclock from the clocks I set in the kernel source but overclocking isnt working correctly. Nvidia has some protections in the code and it locks the max rate to a certain frequency and it crashes if set higher. Still working on it.

Really diggin r65-osmod and thanks for the .zip. Weird though suddenly today it seems to be rendering things slowly. Its moving fast but the display is delayed. example. while updating Tunein radio from the play store it appeared to hardly be moving only displaying 56kb downloaded then suddenly it was done downloading 8mb and then finishing the install. its like its catching up to itself every few seconds. I even ran Os's emergency zip before updating the kernel. Maybe I'll run it again :confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Whoops just noticed I totally linked the Franco's Dev Team forum incorrectly in my osmod post. Here it is properly:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/francosdevteam

LOTS of good reading for any interested in the long process of research and subjective testing of all these fine tunables. :)

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

This is weird. I get the occasional jump on a download like that, but overall the interface is the smoothest and fastest I've ever seen it and seems to remain that way, or even get better over time. Had uptime of like 104h when I was running those via init.d and it was still running like a champ on mine. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] canofale:
also takes like 45 seconds to boot into recovery. Man I think Im just going to do a full wipe...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
That is definitely unrelated to the kernel since recovery bundles its own. Storage getting full?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] canofale:
Good call, it has been a while. Any specific storage folders I can clean out before I wipe.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Not sure. Have you cleared cache on Chrome? It's notorious for hoarding data and causing UI slowdowns because of it. Then create as much free space as you can on your sdcard and run Lag Fix (fstrim) on all partitions to make sure all the old garbage is cleaned out then reboot.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] canofale:
Done, done and done! thanks all good! I knew it wasn't the kernel, just a bunch of my old crap. :victory:

and like butter again

Thanks again Os. really appreciate your time here and god damn r65-osmod is Amazing!!!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheByteSmasher:
Isn't fstrim no longer required since like r46 or something?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Correct but you never know when someone's playing the field. ;)

That and there are some chips where the source disables discard since it slows them down too much, so many devices are not getting the benefits of discard and should still probably fstrim once in a while, even though they aren't the Samsung chips that require discard/trimming to avoid slowdown.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Samsung chips causing trouble? Lol :D the emmc chips on my incredible s made by Samsung had a bricking problem :P

On thus note though whenever I run a fstrim with the lagfix app I do find an improvement so placebo or not I like to run it every now and then :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hotrodwinston:
Is it possible to set things up so fstrim gets run on every reboot? Wasn't there evidence that running with discard enabled cost some performance? If so then fstrim every boot could make it unneeded right?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dimebagdan65:
Pony up for the paid version and you can run it on a set schedule. The process takes no time at all, I have mine set to do it right before my alarm goes off so I wake up to no lag lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
You can tell by running with discard there is negligible real life performance cost, and it's easier than setting up cron.d on Android.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Yes remember what the gingerbread man said about benchmarks :)

Annnd saw some changes in github woohoo!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dickerpatti:
With the new CM Nightlys there is the problem that USB OTG does not work anymore.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Yeah it's on all roms it must be the ramdisk or the zimage or something

Osmosis gave a short explanation on the last page or so
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Compiled kernel driver code in the zImage is required for native OTG support. Ours is broken I guess.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bobtehblob:
Franco, the GPU presents in the per-app power modes don't make much sense for the n7. I understand that the GPU should be running on particular steps. For example I believe 666mhz is one if them and what I use for gaming. Yet there is no option for it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
And 325 will straight up crash the device! :p

Not sure why it's on there. Actual "best practice" choices for the N7 GPU can be found here.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rhodareyes:
can somebody recommend the right version of franco kernel suitable for intensive games

just flashed r65 noticed batt drain is minimal yet lags on games e.g. infinite flight, conduit hd

reverted back to stock kernel lag disappeared all games smooth but batt drains fast...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Titankahn:
Hi guys I got my nexus 7 not so long ago, and want to add some performance, but dont want to overclock too much, so the CPU is not overclocked in this kernel, and the GPU can be overclocked right? (* GPU interface to change its frequencies) I'm looking for a little better performance in games, just slight increase I know tegra 3 is not the best 3d beast today. Thank you
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheByteSmasher:
Uh.... So what's your question?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sgt. meow:
The answer is yes. That's all I know. :D He probably wanted to know if he can OC the GPU (he can), but I may have interpreted it wrong.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
Ohh how I miss that you come up new one "boot-grouper-r65-osmod.img"!

just fastboot flash over to franco's r65 and leave everything default?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
I just use defaults with GPU 520. row and deadline are both good choices for scheduler. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Has anyone else who was having torrent issues on the latest builds been able to confirm this yet?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wags57:
The problem persist with big archives :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Ah well. Didn't think it could be that easy.. ;)

Any opinions on osmod vs. regular?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bsoplinger:
I'm somewhat new to using anything other than the stock kernel (r60 was the first I flashed) and I saw your posting about this version some posts back but I didn't/don't understand what differentiates this from the regular. Can you or someone point me to the explanation?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
My post with the link listed all the differences. Some vm tweaks are changed is the important difference. I'd like to know which feels smoother, short term and long run.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheByteSmasher:
Still, my N7 freezes on torrents... not just plugged in either. Thought: I do keep the "keep screen on" in aDownloader checked....

Unfortunately, on osmod, my N7 kept rebooting and/or freezing... :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Really. There's no reason that should happen. f.K is the only thing that uses the included busybox binary, and the vm changes are mostly all back to the defaults except for min_free_kbytes to 2884 (double the GN default) and I've been running that via init.d for ages with no issue. :confused:

Can anyone else confirm that?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] frost_nz:
No issues for me at all. I'm finding osmod very smooth and stable after three days of use so far.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Running very nicely on my nexus 7, no issues what so ever. I don't use torrent apps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheByteSmasher:
Ok... I'll try it again... I'll wipe app data, flash emergency fix, then flash osmod... maybe I just had leftover stuffs...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
thanks osm0sis!...this would be a noop question, but I will ask anyway :laugh: default stock boot image is appox 8MB, yours is 3.5MB, and franco's boot images approx around 4.3MB.

is the file size differentiates because some craps that not needed being removed from boot images?

can you please stop posting about freaking torrent stuff that not working or having issue? I really don't care about downloading torrent on my tablet, there's laptop or desktop PC for it!, so stop bugging our developers about it..let them concentrate on working on good battery usage and performance instead...

yeah..go head bombard me all insulting comments!...now matter what I would pick good battery usage and good performance over freaking torrent thingy!!!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bobtehblob:
People use their devices differently. Just because an issue doesn't bother you, doesn't mean it's not important to others.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Shmi117:
No need to rage. There is a reason we call Android devices a pocket PC. If a kernel supports everything rather than focusing on one specific aspect (battery and performance under every scenario), then be happy with it. As a developer it is required to cater toward the needs if the users to be successful. Do not take this as an insult and a reason to start a flame war, but as clarification to your view.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GedBlake:
That's a bit strong, jazzespresso...

I don't use torrents myself, but clearly many do, and they are entitled to post their observations... and who knows, such problems may point to a deeper underlying problem with this kernel. And when resolved may result in a better kernel for everybody.

---------------------------------

On my laptop, the boot.img from factory stock (nakasi-jdq39) for 'grouper', it's size is reported as...

5 062 656 bytes / (1024*1024) = 4.83Mb

But here's the thing... any installed kernel backed up by Franco's app ALWAYS seems to clock in at around 8Mb... regardless of its original size when flashed/installed. This size disparity has long puzzled me...

Anybody care to shed any light on this mystery?

----------------------------------

Anyway, r65osmod, is running great - three days in and no problems.

Thanks Osm0sis.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] scorpionx:
Hello all,

I am currently running CM 10.1.1 with franco kernel r65. I've also had this issue with cm 10.1.

I have a few power profiles setup in the franco kernel updater app. My low power uses the max cpu speed of 760. However, after a while, it reverts back to 1300. I've tried wiping system and installing a fresh rom with no luck. Any ideas?

Also, as a feature request, for power modes, can we add the ability to change the voltage for the GPU? Having a gaming profile with an overclocked GPU would be great.

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheByteSmasher:
This guy is an idiot! Osmod is running great! Thanks [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION], don't listen to noobs like that. :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

This forum is for praise and issues with the kernel. Any issues. It's up to the dev to decide what he wants to work on. It's bad form and not to mention impolite to force your desires on everyone. Please refrain from doing so, so we can maintain a non confrontational environment.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
If I'm not mistaken, 8mb is the size of the whole partition, so when saving it by dumping it that's what you get, even if the kernel inside doesn't fill it. The original image size is the actual one, and everything else in the dump is padding.

As for osmod, Franco's older busybox binary is 1.9mb, the "newer, slimmer" version I put in osmod is 0.7mb, hence the size difference. No obvious benefit to it being newer or smaller, so that's why I wrote "for whatever that's worth." ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JohnLocke44:
Just to post my impressions after a week of use with CM...

I got almost the same battery of CM but much more performance and smoothness. Increase my benchs and game performance... Thanks Franco!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] scorpionx:
I forgot to add, it only resets the clock speed after I lock and unlock the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
That's the interesting part; having different sizes. In Franco's paid app, before you flash, you can backup stock kernel, just in case you want to revert it back to stock...so when it backs up, it shows 8 MB for stock kernel - go try and see...

I know that original stock boot.img file size is around 4.9 MB....

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

would someone kind of enough to post orginal stock boot.img? I would like to compare it with the one I have.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

that GPU 520, means you set Maximum GPU freq to 520?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GedBlake:
Yeah, I know... that was sort of my point. Any kernel thus backed up by Francos app will be 8Mb in size.

Osm0sis mentions that the backup is 'padded' out to be of equal size to the LNX partition.

This makes sense. Back in February, I ran some Terminal Emulator commands (but for the life of me, I can't remember the precise syntax:( - something involving fdisk).

Anyway, the upshot was I discovered a great deal about the Nexus 7 partition structure... and the LNX (boot) partition is...

..yep... you guested it...

8 388 608 bytes / (1024 * 1024) = 8 Mb PRECISELY.

...which by strange coincidence :) is also EXACTLY the same size of any kernel backups performed by Franco's app.

----------------------------------

Anyway, if you want to do some size comparisons, here is my copy of the boot.img pulled from factory stock (Jellybean 4.2.2 JDQ39)...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37483979/boot_img_nakasi_jdq39_grouper.zip

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
Thanks Ged! I was always corious about it, now it makes perfect sense :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GedBlake:
No problem... but just had more thoughts on this... (and wish I had your certainty about it 'making sense' - still a little unsure about some aspects of this:().

Just re-read Osm0sis earlier post again... and thinking about it... I think that Franco's app just 'dumps' the WHOLE of the LNX partition to your named backup file.

So it's not pro-actively padding it out... it's taking a PRECISE CARBON COPY of the WHOLE partition...in it's entirety... including any NULL VALUES.

And that's why its 8Mb (instead of 4 or 5 Mb).

Well... at least that is what I think is happening:confused:...

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LegendsCrazy:
Hi all! Noob at rooting, flashing, et all so please be gentle. I've bought the paid version of Franco's app. I installed it on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7. I'm rooted and running stock with TWRP on both. I backed-up both with Titanium Backup. I had no problems installing the kernel on my Galaxy Nexus and it's running much smoother now! Thanks Franco! I cannot for the life of me get the kernel to flash on my Nexus 7 though. It will show the Google lock screen and then it will show the android on it's side with a red triangle for a short while and revert back to the previous recovery. Can anyone suggest what I should try to get this to flash on my Nexus 7, please and thank you.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GedBlake:
Hi, LegendsCrazy...

From your description, I don't think you have TWRP installed on your Nexus 7.

The 'Android lying on its side' sounds suspiciously like the stock recovery.

Are you rooted? and is the Bootloader unlocked?

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Yup! Exactly my thoughts. Same thing happens with the other partition dumps, like with radios, so that's why some people have made trimming tools to remove the padding and get it down to the original filesize. On the GN for example, the XXLJ1 trimmed dumped radio and the stock Factory Image match exactly in size and checksum. :good: :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] LegendsCrazy:
Hi Ged! Yes, at least I'm pretty sure that I am rooted and unlocked. How do I check to be sure please? Thank you for your reply and your help.

edit: I just checked ROM Manager and it says TWRP is the current recovery.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] soyusado:
If you don't have the unlock confirmation when you turn on your tablet you can't flash a custom recovery but if you're unlocked try CWM, use this toolkit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
