Imagine with all 4 core always on... Maximum smoothness and battery drainage. Would be nice to have the number of core always on setting back in f.Ku, though. So that a more battery friendly mode could be accessed on demand.

By the way I can't change the governor setting without it freezing the tablet on 999 Second Edition. Sorry if that has been reported already. I can still power off the screen but it won't back up. Might be something Franco did so it might be as designed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bronto9:
As far as i know r999(both v1 and v2) use dynamic governors(so you're not supposed to be able to change that)

If i remember right, franco said governors tweaking will be possible in a future release

I'm having some odd sound stuttering issues with franco.Kernel. It happens with both music playback, and alarms/notifications. After about a day of uptime on r61, or two to three days on r999, every sound is crackly and distorted. Rebooting immediately into the same kernel doesn't resolve it; flashing any other kernel (from franco updater, or from CWM advanced restore) does (including the problematic ones). Cold booting after leaving it off for a while might, but I haven't tried it. I don't see this problem under the stock kernel -- but I have slightly better battery life on franco.Kernel, so I'd like to stick with it if possible.

Has anyone else had this problem? It just seems weird to me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fozzie:
What ROM?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jfmcbrayer:
Stock, rooted.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
No such problem here on stock. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jfmcbrayer:
Yeah, like I said. It seems weird, and not like something that should be related to this kernel. It could well be some background application interaction, I suppose.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Try lock and unlock your boot loader, fast boot Google factory image 4.2.2 https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images I run stock rooted and never had what you are describing. Hard ware defect it's my next best guess
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jfmcbrayer:
That's probably my next thing to try. Would be easier if I could test it immediately after each change, but the problem doesn't show up immediately.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjknight413:
Another problem has cropped up on r999v2.

quite often i will wake my device after an extended period of time, say a couple of hours, and it will be unuseable until i hard reset. Seems like it could be stuck at a low frequency or something, it isn't frozen just extremely slow.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bobtehblob:
:D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] DroidOnRoids:
Your problems are the opposite of mine. I have great battery life and wake ups are fluid. Maybe your tablet just doesn't like the kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hotrodwinston:
+1 I get this too - looking at it I think it has something to do with WiFi as my n7 is set to only keep WiFi on during sleep if on charge and it only happens if it's not on charge. Also when it happens if I go into settings/wifi it says turning WiFi on (or something to that nature) but the WiFi never actually turns on. Had a similar problem on my Toshiba thrive and the fix was to turn WiFi to always on. Gonna try that and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
So while Fransisco is busy making our devices perfect

[Nexus 7 Original Development] bsoplinger:
I see a similar issue but when my tablet doesn't respond after a few tries and about 10 seconds I've gotten impatient and just pressed power to reboot. But its more like 1 in 10 wakes not an often occurrence for me.

Great news ! Last day of work for me this week, so I have time to play around with my tablet :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
r62 - Where is the lag?

* 99% rework of the Hotplug driver. Cores are intelligently managed. Always 2 cores are online to diminish thread migration and all the intrinsic operations that are inherent of onlining and offlining cores. If the load is high enough the other 2 cores come online

* Custom changes to interactive that now reacts a bit better and more intelligently to load changes, specially during big load, which will majorly improve gaming performance

* Interactive tunables are scaled from the Hotplug driver based on either there are 2 or 4 cores online. If there are 2 online it uses the normal tunables, if there are 4 they get tuned for maximum performance

* Merge all the work from the usual suspects, which contains the special partition mounts

* Bunch of other custom patches and other patches from upstream to improve IO handling

* No more Youtube lag as far as I know

By the way I think I fixed that bug where the device could be stuck in a lower frequency (I think that was the problem AFAIK) and driver it unusable unless rebooting. Let me know if thats fixed, which I tried to fix anyway.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
It's great so far :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Thanks for r62 Franco just about to flash now. Just as I was about to flash it another suggestion came to mind...

Would you consider adding a download .img option within the app and the download path be directly to the kernel back up folder?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
+1 that's actually a pretty good idea, it would save time because I download it and then do a backup anyway so if it did it automatically that would be even better :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] fgenari:
Thanks Franco.... Nice work...

Im very happy for this....and guys...

Install directly on FK app update :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
It would indeed save time, I see update go live then always head to chrome beta to download from the host site and manually move the file to directory. Not that its particually difficult but it would make life easier.

Thinking of it im guessing that's how the auto flash option works, download and flash but the file isn't kept over its moved, so if there was a way to copy or keep the file in case of needing it again for some reason.

[MENTION=4953615]nexusmaniac[/MENTION] back ups as for pussys hahahaha ;) :p just kidding but you don't need to nandroid every time ;)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
Haha, I didn't mean I do a nandroid every time, I don't even do then when flashing Rom's, I meant I do a kernel backup in the kernel updater app :)

I see what you mean, the kernel in the app is probably downloaded as a .img file but it gets cached somewhere and then deleted when the device reboots
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
If the boot.img were cached it would be kept over, that's what cached files are for, data kept over for some future use to be accessed in the future for speed of access. The nexus tool kit works the same (think I read you use it) when you move a Google factory image to c/nexustoolkit/putgoogleimagehere its never kept its transfered to the actual device not copied then transfered.

Are you still on stock rom BTW?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bagl0312:
Thanks! R62 looks great so far.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:
Oh yeah, it would still be there if it was cached. My derp :P

Yeh I do use the nexus toolkit sometimes, mainly when I get stuck in a bootloop.

Nope I'm not on stock ROM anymore, I went back to cyanogenmod and am now on an unofficial cm build that has halo :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dictionary:
Which build is that, if I may ask.

So far r62 running great for me here on Carbon latest nightly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] combatdeity:
Damn this is a real step up in performance, heres hoping the battery is even half as good.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] nexusmaniac:

I have tried using carbon but I really don't like it, the only custom ROM that I like is a cyanogenmod one so I really want halo to be in the official cm10.1
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Yup. /data/data/com.franco.kernel/boot.img is the most recent auto-flashed and appears to stay there until replaced. :) It would just be a simple matter of copying it over.

r62 is great! And it's got all the stuff I had in r61-osmod too! :D
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
Thats actually a great idea!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
+1 for Carbon
[Nexus 7 Original Development] konradsa:
Thanks, much better, finally going into the right direction. Music playback is much smoother now, almost no skips and stutters anymore. If battery life is somewhat decent, I can finally ditch r47.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cassius_20:
Finally smooth again Franco, great work on r62. One feature that I loved on my n4 on Franco kernel was adjusting input frequency. Would future n7 releases include this feature or is this an architecture restriction in the hardware?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drdrewdown:
this #62 is dope! great work
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bobtehblob:
R62 is soooooo goood! :eek: Honestly debating whether I'm going to buy the next nexus 7 now!

One thing I have noticed though is the device locks up and requires a 10 second hold if you select the performance governor.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] killa12222:
r62 smoooooooth as butter. Definitely an edge over r999v2 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Why are you using performance lol

r62 is definitely the smoothest kernel I have used, but has anyone got any random lockups (is that what they're called?)

For instance using chrome beta, twice since flashing the kernel, on all stock values, it becomes really unresponsive: almost like its locked at a low freq or something. When you turn the screen off and on again it starts to behave fine, back to buttery smooth goodness :)

Anyone else or is it something I have done?

I've been running stock, faux, r999v2, M-kernel, Bricked and sabermod and none have done this in the past week (maybe by chance though)

fwiw I am on ParanoidAndroid 3.6 and I dirty flashed it just before flashing r62 this morning. Otherwise the setup has been the same for a while.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] STXInnovation:
Just flashed this kernel. I'm on CyanogenMod, and when I look at CM10's "performance" menu, I notice that the clock speed of the CPU changes frantically between minimum speed and maximum speed when I'm just starting at the CPU speed screen. Is this normal?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bobtehblob:
I don't in everyday use I was just playing around with things and noticed it caused the device to hang so I thought I should mention it!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Tommy-Geenexus:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] backslashV:
I wanted to report a bug in your updater app. After clicking on "download latest stable kernel" the last version it shows features for is r61 whereas the latest one should be r62 shown with the features above. Thanx
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Whole OP. Really?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheByteSmasher:

But seriously, 62 is a giant leap from 61.... I hope Franco continues to pour love into the N7 so I won't be so tempted to buy the alleged N7 part 2... who am I kidding, I'm gonna get it anyway.

Actually chrome was so unresponsive on r61. I have yet to test it out on r62.

Also does checking the Wi-Fi pm_fast option make any difference for you? Does it really boost your signal?

Wow. r62 is great. Just switched from the now defunct motley kernel after many months and i love francos works on nexus. Great job!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
I guess :)

Well chrome is just a laggy browser for me on this device, even with performance governor its not as smooth as devices like the xperia z, mako, one etc. It wasn't the problem for me though, it wasn't 'lag' is was a lock up or something. Even if I tried to pull down the status bar or go into another app it would be really slow. Like you'd expect on a really bottom end device

However its fine now, hasn't happened since this morning :)

And about WiFi I have crap speeds here so no I don't see a difference

But that setting only effects sleep mode :)

[Nexus 7 Original Development] formicae:
r62 is running amazingly for me except I had another two of the Netflix crashes that I hadn't seen in a while (fine until sometime after r47, then somewhere in the 50s it started acting up, maybe fixed in r61 or r61osmod, and seems to be back).

It doesn't kick in until after 10-20 minutes of streaming, then framerate drops progressively until it's a still frame, audio still plays, then turns into a buzzzzzzzzzzzz and I have to hard reboot with the power button. Which apparently means no last_kmsg. I'll roll all the way back to r47 and give it a shot, then try 61 and 61osmod and see if anyone can deduce which changes (so many changes) might be responsible, but it'll take a little while to test. I have a feeling it's not strictly the Netflix app.

Anyone else running into this?

Two solutions:

1. Remove your cover or any other magnetic stuff near your tablet.

2. (if 1. is not working) Open up your tablet and find out if your battery fits in correctly. (opening is of course on your own risk!)

Is anyone else seeing some funky things on the updater app's display? I am seeing odd things in the right pane after load and problems returning to the main screen after doing anything. Previous versions did not have this problem. I have uninstalled, redownloaded from Google, reinstalled to no avail.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] franciscofranco:
Where is the last_kmsg? I can't figure things out without looking at logs.

No idea about that, works fine using my app. Thats an obsolete app anyway.

You got an app ****ing you, mine stays at 204MHz ranging from 0% to 1% for over a minute before I get bored.

I don't know what the **** you are talking about.

Seriously guys, what are you doing with your devices?!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Number R09:
With r61 I get a lot of stutter and lag when gaming, Blooms TD 5 and Kingdom Rush, and with YouTube. With r999 I get phantom swipes localized in the top left corner (in portrait) of the tablet, r62 does the same. The device is unusable with either kernel as the N7 is constantly registering taps and swipes. It takes great patients and furious anger to be able to revert to a usable kernel.

I have FKU set to auto clear and auto flash each time, but no joy. I'm stuck with stock kernel or r61 plus lag. Have I missed something? I have no troubles on stock kernel at all. Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction please? I'd like this tablet to be running as well as my N4 on r155, within reason.

Stock rooted N7 with no other device managing apps aside from Tasker and FKU running.

I'm trying to use the usb-otg auto-mount function built into the rom I'm using, but its not working on r61 and r62 that I know of. I tried out r48 just for kicks and it works fine on that, just not the newer versions of the kernel.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Can you provide a screen shot next time it happens?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] formicae:
I thought there was no last_kmsg (or it was useless) when you did a hard reboot. I'll take a look next time!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
There isn't (or it's useless because it'll be the one from the previous reboot), but if you can, copy /proc/kmsg to your sdcard before hard rebooting. That's pretty much the same thing as a last_kmsg.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] 7pellc:
It's nothing to do with our usage mate. Somethings up. I'm having issues on stock PA with nothing but gapps. Main issue for me is the screen not responding to touch immediately. Sometimes needs 3 or 4 attempts. Apps are lagging out and FC'ing as well. Unfortunately I didn't grab a kmsg before factory resetting and heading to stock. I'll chuck it back on and get you one in a bit.

Edit: Scrap that, it's doing the same on stock.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] NYLimited:
I often feel just like that! :laugh:

I was only checking if anyone has seen anything odd but here's the story..

Please see two attached screenshots. The first one is when I initially load the app after a clean boot. Yes, it has root privs. I re-installed it twice from Google just to be certain.

If I click on one of the choices (see picture 2) it moves on but pressing backup will never go back to the first image. It simply exits.

I have posted

kmsg

and

dmesg

for your review.
