I am going off topic. Can somebody pls point to franco kernels changelog and also cpu scheduling/multicore engaging algorithm used here. i have heard this kernel keeps two core on all the time.

Yep, 2 cores minimum when screen is on.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Moscow Desire:
Knock it Off

Knock off with the Whining and off topic stuff.

If a kernel doesn't get updated when "you" want it to, well too bad. Perhaps you should learn a little kernel dev, and build one for yourself.

Nobody "promises" lifetime support or updates. Not written anywhere here at XDA. All code is published "as is". If the author want to continue, it's his/her choice. Not yours.

Don't like it? Too bad. Learn Dev work and make something better.

If a dev moves on to bigger and better things, well, I congratulate and wish them the very best of luck.

This is XDA, and a development forum. The kernel source is published. Make it better.

So knock it off with the whining and off topic. Any more, and the outcome won't be very pretty.

I have upgraded to the 2013 model
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Boo deserter. :p

My parents got one so I was doing some tech support walking them through unlocking the bootloader over the phone. I'd love to upgrade but it's hard to find a deal around here.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
:)

There was a deal here yesterday on a deals site, the device was $149+ shipping
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Yeah definitely tempted. I might see if I can convince the girlfriend. We'd get the 32gb this time since right now it's a stretch fitting her pdf textbooks (she's in the final year of her veterinary medicine program) and my games on our 16gb. :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Yeah fair enough, my old one always had 10-14 GB free space and even then that was with having GTA 3 GTA vc apshult 6&7 and didn't really play often. If you can do it! I still remember the excited but nervous email I sent you when I was able to get the 2012 model, excited cos I could and had the money and just dreamt of owning it never thought the day would come when I could actually buy :)

Kernel no longer working with latest CM 10.2 nightly. They have updated the ramfs module.:(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
Checking it out with a fixed coming later today.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Can we not just say cm is not supoorted anymore? I follow Franco on gnex, n7, n7 2013, n4 and littetally all you hear about is stuff going wrong with cm or cm based roms. If these users want the refined product of Franco then they should use aosp rom or stock rom. Cm just keep going off doing things in ways that don't work in compatible ways, starting with colour control last summer I believe. Since then it has gone on to them using completely different drivers for certain Qualcomm chips and frankly if everyone moves to keep things compatible with cm then there won't be time for new development. So I propose you make your bed and lay in it if you choose cm based roms or be happy with aosp. Its splitting android into further fragmentation. Cm are now a buissness, they have gone corporate leaving bed room devs behind
[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
The guys over in the tuna thread confirmed the fix works, so here is a new r75-fixed:

http://d-h.st/users/osm0sis/jb4_3/grouper/

Changes:

- Fix CM nightly compatibility.

- Update with recent CM ramdisk TCP buffers (possibility improves throughput).

- Added missing timer_slack setting in init.rc.

- Latest busybox 1.21.1 binary.

- Other minor changes.

Note: I left the charger binary the same since CM's new percentage overlay for powered off charging is opposite to the minimalist design aesthetic Google was going for (and I prefer. ;))

136 downloads of the previous fixed.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] shinodoigt:
I just installed it with the latest CM nightly build and I have an error message appearing every second "com.android.phone has stopped", I can't do anything.. So it doesn't seem to work with CM nightly...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dirtbikerr450:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] osm0sis:
I think sj was just pointing out that's a manta thread, while this is grouper. :)

The ramdisk fixes (the BOOTCLASSPATH variable additions required for multiSIM ROMs and PAC doing their own things) are already in my latest fixed version, was there something else?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sjknight413:
Excuse me? That was entirely unnecessary.

As osmosis says I didn't really know why he was pointing to a nexus 10 kernel thread and stating it as the fix.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Martin-Doc:
I judged prematurely. My apologies.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] khaytsus:
Sorry, I hadn't noticed you'd fixed it. If so, I would have pointed that out rather than how it was fixed in another kernel. :)

I should have been more specific and said the information there was the fix. Not using the specific ramdisk....

Anyone else getting lots of YouTube buffering messages all the time with this kernel?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lee11111:
I tried this last night. Came from bricked kernel. Forget which rom. Just got it yesterday. It was working fine until I installed this kernel. Afterwards, kept getting a persistent error about the phone process closing. Couldn't get past it. Couldn't do anything. Ended up sideloading a new rom to fix. Just a heads up
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Must be a recent CM based ROM for which you need an updated ramdisk to use.. otherwise phone FCs. There is a kernel on one of the previous pages with fixes for this
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lee11111:
No worries. I've since moved on. Just trying to report without reading a huge thread

[Nexus 7 Original Development] kevin0164:
Just updated to stock 4.4 via sideload, the stock kernel still stays at 3.1 :(
[Nexus 7 Original Development] redeyedjedi:
Actually, the same could be done for the 3.8 kernel too, but nothing "official" you would have to take the drivers from NVidia ''s git and merge with the Android 3.4 stuff. Some of the board files are just bare frameworks and some would have to be rewritten from older versions. On the old Gtablet it was the only way we got 3.1 with HW acceleration. This is a lot of work and not a lot of people could do it and/or would be willing. I would try, but it's a lot that I don't know. It's all open source hardware, but yet there are still proprietary blob files with no source....... And you gotta get lucky sometimes to get old blobs to work with newer kernels/ Linux versions. I asked about it before but it didn't go well.

Now that the kernel sources for KK are out, franco states on his G+ that we'll get an update next week based on that.

Unrelated, having a problem installing the new FKU from the Play Store. Getting an error when I try to install (don't have it on me so I can't remember exactly what it says), something like User error -24. Have never seen this before with any app. Figuring it is me, I've done all I can think of to make it go away. Restarting, clearing cache and dalvik, deleting any reference of a FKU backup in TiBu....not sure what else to do. Anyone have any thoughts how to fix it or is experiencing a similar problem when installing from scratch through the Play Store? FKU and the 4.4 kernel is working great on my N4...would really like to have it on my grouper as well.

r76 is up and running for KitKat, it contains major improvements over the last series specially since its much more close to all the work I've been doing on the other major devices like the N5, N4 and N72013. Not compatible with CM or any rom that builds from CM, will be in the future. Please enjoy:

* Merged KitKat commits

* Merged all recent work from FK on the Nexus 5, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013, including a newer version of my Hotplug driver and major improvements on interactive governor

* Stability improvements

* Added back my GPU OC interface available here /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc just echo the clock you want to use, for example echo 550 > the_path_above and voilá

* Module support

* KEXEC support for Multi-Rom

Anyone else having rotation issues on #76? This is my first time running a Franco kernel and its amazing, aside from rotation barely working.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheDarkDefender:
Nope.

Its your rom, mate. Rotation is good here.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JCred:
Unfortunately (I think?), it's def not my ROM. I'm running stock, rooted 4.4, with GEL and rotation works like normal with Faux's latest and Lean Kernel 3.

Whenever I switch kernels I use a kernel wipe script and wipe cache/dalvik before flashing and wrote both cache again after flashing. However. I wouldn't be s surprised if some remnants get left behind that cause (mostly unnoticeable) conflicts. In this case something between my device and Franco don't get along. I wonder if it has anything to do with GEL?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheDarkDefender:
I'm running the same. Rooted stock 4.4 with xposed. I don't think GEL supports rotation. If rotation is indeed broken, then it has to be the same in any other part of the rom.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] JCred:
Rotation works fine in GEL- just not with my device and this kernel.
