I'm hearing that everone says their n7 is smooth as hell with r61 osmod/r999. What's your definition of smooth? My n7 with Cm10.1 and r61 osmod is lagging all the time. For instance, scrolling through the play store stutters a lot. Using the Engadget app, the lagg is so extreme that the app is almost unusable, Facebook and twitter are stuttering... Chrome stutters a lot and so on and on. Only transition animations are perfectly smooth. Could someone by any chance upload a video of their N7 demonstrating the apps i mentioned above? it might be that there is something wrong with my device.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] neo-X:
Are you using the .IMG that Franco uploaded? The test version

[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
It's a bit snappier. And it doesn't even have any of the niceness or mount tweaks I made in osmod, so it'll be interesting to see if those make it feel even faster. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjondenon:
Nope, i'm still on r61 osmod
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
Do you intend to make an r999 osmod? I would love to see that :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjknight413:
Franco,

After a night of using r999 It is just in another league to anything I have ever tested on xda.

The small bouts of lag I often got with my nexus are gone,

The homescreen stickyness is completely gone,

Lag on wake up is gone,

Apps open as quick as they should,

My nexus feels like the tablet it should have been from the start!

I'm now scared to update cyanogenmod incase I jynx it!

You Sir, have my eternal gratitude :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] neo-X:
I can't wait!

Give Franco's new test build (couple pages back) a shot, you won't regret it!

I'll give r999 a try. Do you guys change any of the settings in the F.ku app with R999 or do you just keep it stock?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] aoh1996:
Guys, where did you get r999?? I can't found it :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
I coded a whole new algorithm from scratch thats what ;)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Charmacas:
As the new algorithm does have dynamic scaling of interactive tunables if the device is under high load we should not be able to set any of these values anymore. Are we? And should we change something there even if we are able to?

You should sell this to Google! ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
Its not yet possible tune the dynamic scaling. I didn't have time for that yet unfortunately. But its planned, I want users to have the power to decide which values they want when the device is under low load, and which ones they want under full load. I'll have that in a week or so. I need to finish the release for this device maybe today if I'm in the mood, then update the Galaxy Nexus after. And gotta finish the app redesign, which is also very close. Getting there :) Why sell? I would be very glad if they took the code or took some ideas, after all its open source :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mutalisk:
r999 really is noticeable faster - this algorithm has to be incredible.

Unfortunately, I can't use it- the kernel renders my device useless for normal use.

I had the problem with v61 sometimes but not always and to that extend - my device doesn't recognize half of my touches - when I'm lucky, because most of the time it seems as there is somebody touching all over the screen, clicking here and there, launching an app, closing the notification bar, swiping between tabs and so on. It is not a hardware problem, as it works without problems with the 10.1 kernel, but even a factory reset didn't change anything for me.

Running latest CM10.1 nightly (same problem with RC4).

Edit:

Further information: I mean factory reset without restore, so no f.ku and other similar apps that could cause trouble
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Charmacas:
Great to read your answer franco. Any time I am reading somewhat like that it's like a look behind the scenes for me.

It is also great that you're going to implement your development also for the Galaxy Nexus! :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Antob125:
Are you guys clearing Franco settings and leaving everything as is? Or is row still better with r199

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
I never ever touched the touch driver for this device, so I have no clue, I'm sorry!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mutalisk:
No need to be sorry ;)

Thanks for what you're doing here :)

Well, I guess I'll just wait for the official release, and when the problem persists but I'm the only one running CM10.1 with the problem, I'll have to investigate more :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheDarkDefender:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] Like the halfbreed color calibrations done at the kernel level for n4, is it possible to apply the same or any good calibration for the n7 too?

I use the n4 a lot, and I simply hate the display of the n7,after I calibrated my n4 to halfbreed.

Just curious. Btw,Thanks for resuming support for the n7.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] formicae:
r999 is excellent, but Netflix drags to a halt on video unless I keep touching. Anyone know if one of the tunables might help?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Those apps are crap

The reason they're laggy is because they are laggy apps. A few tweaks will do a bit but really nothing will make them.smoother but an update to those apps

There's no color calibration for N7 atm

Try changing your min freq to 400 or whatever the second step is
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bjcrj:
Oh, if that's all:rolleyes:;)

Thank you sir, nicely done:thumbup::beer:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
Just in case anyone wants it here is a .zip of r999 and I've tested it, so it definitely works :)

http://db.tt/voYjwYbc
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
To mimic Mako's latest testing, lets try this one. The second core doesn't go offline. To balance things out input_boost_freq is decreased to 760MHz from 1GHz. Since this algorithm is very efficient I expect no battery hit what-so-ever so DON'T stress out if you see cpu1 online all the time, just enjoy your device please.

I cant believe I liked this post... Stupid multi-quote button is close to the thanks button on the XDA app. Anyway did you install CrossBreeder by any chance?

No idea, I got a few other priorities at this point. We'll see.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] canofale:
OMG its like Christmas! And playing with two kernels at once.... Sooooo HOT! Maybe we can call this one #999r2? 2 cores always on, get it? Be careful and don't get confused, its named the same name.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ehmjay:
man that was embarassing :( .. yeah i just installed crossbreeder ;( sorry guys for the stupid post
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Martin-Doc:
With the first r999 I had a huge game lag, after the second r999 the lag is all gone. I like where this is going :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Nice! Yeah this should fix the lags (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) with the hotplug entirely since that mostly had to do with it getting stuck on one core at low freq. Ooh and we're on page 666. This is a good sign for r999v2. ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
r999v2 upside down is r666^2 which makes it Franco kernel

r443556 therefore the best version ever :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Martin-Doc:
Don't scratch it, it looks like Franco is currently on a hot streak. Let's encourage him into some more of this sorcery, in the end maybe there will be unicorns raining from the screen :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Finally now I'm on 999, had been pushed for time with work so was never able to test 999v1, v2 feels good so far from my limited testing of launching tapatalk and typing this, very smooth and responsive!

Hi, are there any good posts/ links to getting the most out of Chrome with these settings? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] konradsa:
Doesn't look like there are all too many options on Android.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NYLimited:
What exactly are you looking for? Chrome does a lot of "learning" from your usage to optimize itself as you go. It also adds some code to the mobile version to decrease battery usage, like lazy closing of idle sockets.

It you want to read more about Chrome there is a good article

here

[Nexus 7 Original Development] reeza:
Thanks for the link, I'll have a look.... I just didn't know there was so many little settings under the hood to play with, maybe better left untouched.

You can always play if you have good backups. Or, do what I do - follow the guys in here who know quite a bit. ;)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] twirtle2:
I'm not sure what is happening, but with r999v2 it feels as if the touch screen is less responsive or not responsive at all sometimes. I don't know how to describe it. I've gone back r999 for now and it's feels better. Could it be clashing with PA?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NYLimited:
I am on r2 and I cannot feel a difference in touch between r1 and this one...

----

Often wrong. Never in doubt.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] farmerbb:
I also believe there's something up with the touchscreen on r999, at least on my device. It's extremely rare, but eventually the touchscreen craps out and it seems like it happens the most after playing an intensive game for a few minutes (one example: The Conduit HD).

Doesn't seem to happen at all when I revert back to r61, which is a shame, because there really is a marked difference in performance between the two. I dunno what your secret sauce is Franco... but keep using it :laugh: lol
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
It seems just about every time I touch my screen CPU 0 + 1 are at 1ghz which is hispeed freq.

Touchscreen is sometimes doing weird at mine too, but I got that also on stock. Bumpy scrolling and if I long-press it will detect if I'm clicking very fast.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Kaiyes:
Dont know what u guys are talking abt. I'm on PA and r9992 has no touchscreen problem for me. Its actually veeery smooth now. I was playing wild blood without a single lag.

It also happens to me, rebooting fixed it. Franco, if you need the last_kmesg just ask

EDIT: I forgot that hard rebooting(or however it's called) doesn't produce a valid log, so i can't supply that(i had to reboot by keeping the power button pressed, because without touchscreen i couldn't reboot it).

If you downloaded the factory image from the link in my post and you extracted and flashed the boot.IMG from there that will put you on stock kernel. If your on cm10 you could always reflash the ROM and that will give you what ever kernel that came with
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
I noticed this too. I also had touch get a little weird when pinching to zoom and then unpinching to zoom out with Chrome. It was like the touch events were getting delayed and then occurring out of order/incorrectly. Restarting Chrome seemed to help. Maybe the input_boost stuff is a little flakey, that would explain both things.

Hmm that touch stuff sounds weird to me. I'll try to find out whats up.

It might just be as simple as touch boost and hi speed freq are set the same? At least that's what it looks like but I haven't looked at the actual code
[Nexus 7 Original Development] SGWUser:
Well, I just discoverd my screen only does weird when using my thumb to touch. Maybe there's something wrong with larger input sizes, or I just got a weird thumb :)

EDIT: seems to be an issue with the larger input size, it is recognized as two separate inputs so quickly toggles between them.

Also had touch issues on 999 yesterday. It seemed to open random apps, changing settings by itself. Was really out of control. Scary as hell for a while until I managed to do a hard reset.

Running PA 3.56
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bronto9:
Tried that, but it worked normally. When my touch went crazy it was all around the screen, not only near my finger.

It was like this

In addition to the crazy touchscreen I had just experienced a freeze while i was browsing a light webpage in dolphin browser, had to force reboot.

I forgot to say before that i i've stock rom, with no mods or similar things.

I went from r47 straight to r999. Don't see much difference in terms of smoothness for both. But much smoother than r61, definitely going into the right direction with r999.

How's battery on the new test builds?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
For me it's been great 4+ hours of SOT but that depends on the usage
[Nexus 7 Original Development] xfrancis14:
Just casual stuff or gaming and stuff? Cause isn't that not great? Like is it as good as r61 and stuff or just slightly worse?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjknight413:
Yeah to me 4 hours sucks.

I'm on track to get about 4 and a half hours screen on time with r999v2, so battery life isn't great no.

I only got a bit better at about 5 hours screen on on r61 though.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
Just casual stuff e.g. tapatalk, chrome, YouTube, music, I get 4-4.5 hours max at about 50% brightness (there is almost no difference between 50% and 100% on this tablet except for more battery drain) so I would say that the battery is better than r61 not by miles but better considering the huge difference in smoothness :)

Wow that's actually pretty good, should I flash the r999v2 or v1?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NYLimited:
I am still finding - with all kernels, not specific to this one - that my battery is slowly going down even while plugged into a car charger which is a known good

2+ amp charger

and a charger only cable. If I understand correctly this is "normal" for the N7 but it is, nonetheless, annoying.

Has anyone found a way around this?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lollyjay:
I find that my battery charges in the car while using Sygic GPS. Must be differences from one Nexus to another.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] NYLimited:
Interesting. Is your battery percentage increasing? Mine will only increase if I turn the screen off for a while. With the screen on, even at low brightness, the charge percentage decreases although very slowly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lollyjay:
It used to decrease slowly, but with my current setup, it now increases very slowly. I have screen brightness on auto.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] khaytsus:
You said good cable, but just my experience.... I was getting super slow charges on my Nexus 7 for a while, 15%/hr if the screen was off.. Swapped cables to another random cable in the house, back to 30%/hr or so. The other one USED to work fine, just... wore out I guess.

So if you haven't tried another cable, give it a go. Because if you're draining while charging in a normal situation, you'd have to be pulling some pretty heavy current. I'd assume the N7 would be pretty hot, etc.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjknight413:
4-5 hours screen on is not good battery life at all.

The nexus 7 SHOULD be capable of 8 hours screen on.

Even with just WiFi on and surfing the web watching YouTube videos, Facebook, Google +, xda, without playing any games. I'm only able to get 4 - 5 hrs on screen time. I just flashed faux es version and I'll test the battery life with the same usage and see if my battery life improves
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hotrodwinston:
The n7 is rated for 10 hours video playback with all wireless turned off - any wireless cuts into that - anything more than basic tasks ramps up the CPU and cuts into the battery - sync cuts into battery - add app wake locks and standby drain - even if its just a little and 4-5 hours screen on seems about right.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
I agree, I usually get around 5-6 hours depending on kernel and rom but usage is the same
