I thing motley kernel use undervolt max freq at stock 1.3 ghz for default so Franco kernel is more benchmarks

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] johnnyman25:
both run at 1.3ghz.i didnt overclock but motley kernel lagged at scrolling.also gpu overclock only benefits 3d gaming?whats the optimal overclock for gpu?stock is 416 as i saw.
[Nexus 7 General] krazeecracker:
Optimal is 520 or 600 or 666
[Nexus 7 General] johnnyman25:
this gpu speed is applied only when i run 3d games?thx and sorry for bad english!!
[Nexus 7 General] krazeecracker:
Yes those are your max, when needed like for 3d games it will ramp up to that speed. And no worries lol

I noticed that but I just thought that he just forgot to change the whole post and just added the numbers.

I want to see how the version a19 did!:good:

also if its not too much to ask. could you post the quadrant score with the stock clock speed at least for the M-Kernel a19 as part of your tests
[Nexus 7 General] trungdtdev:
I thing best is M-Kernel

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] VenomTheCat:
is this correct?

Max Freq set as high as it can go.

1. Franco (1.3): 6 Hours, 30 Minutes

2. Faux ES (1.3) 6 Hours

3. M-Kernel (1.6): 6 Hours

4. Motley (1.6) 5 Hours, 50 Minutes

5. Faux UE (1.7): 5 Hours

6. Trinity (1.7): 5 Hours

7. Stock (1.3): 4 hours, 55 minutes

8 Lean Kernel (1.5): 4 Hours, 40 minutes

With the stock kernel the battery last less than even the Trinity Kernel at 1.7ghz??
[Nexus 7 General] bcvictory:
According to my tests yes, if you doubt it I can redo the tests.
[Nexus 7 General] VenomTheCat:
WOW! that is very impressive! I don't think you need to re-test its just that I didn't expected that having an overclocked N7 would last longer than the stock one doing the exact same function.

This is another reason to mod!
[Nexus 7 General] Notarzt23:
Guys i am fairly new to the nexus 7 but i tried my share of custom roms and kernels, both 4.1.2 and 4.2.1. My experience with custom kernels were not really great. I had random reboots, freezes or screen flickering. So my question is if there is a custom kernel with "stock" stability, preferably on 4.2.1? Don't get me wrong, it thought performance and battery consumption was great on most of them!

[Nexus 7 General] TDO:
Really great comparison.

But I think to find the "best" kernel it would also be good to know which kernel is working correct and which is faulty.

Some kernels aren't usable if you want to use flash in your browser as they can not display it correctly.

Can be easily be tested with just opening the flash configuration.

I have already tested some kernels.

lean kernel - faulty

trinity seven kernel - faulty

motley kernel - working

m-kernel a23 - faulty

stock kernel - working

Maybe other users can provide their experiences and you can include this information in your overview.
[Nexus 7 General] knitler:
Being as Flash is no longer made for Android I don't consider it not working to be "faulty" and more "helping improve the internet."
[Nexus 7 General] TDO:
Many pages still use flash and many users choose android only because of flash.

How exactly would you call something which breaks the correct original behavior?

And can you tell where and in which apps this will also cause problems?
[Nexus 7 General] VenomTheCat:
I did some tests of my own and using my N7 3G and GPU Mark for benchmarks I got these results!

Stock kernel

M-kernel recommended settings (onDemand governor)

[Nexus 7 General] stfudude:
guys, how do you move from one kernel to another? do you do a clean install of your rom or you just leave the leftovers just like that? I'm looking for a kernel cleaning script of some sort so that I can change kernel as I like without worrying about its leftovers..
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
just flash the kernel over the other, dont wipe a thing. one exception is franco kernel because it uses its own ramdisk. if coming from franco kernel, you want to reflash your rom then the new kernel, again dont wipe a thing.
[Nexus 7 General] stfudude:
God, why this great advice doesn't come sooner? I flashed franco kernel 15 minutes before you reply.. I should've make a nandroid backup.
[Nexus 7 General] NicoGa:
Good to know! What about the kernels that include power.grouper.so ? M-kernel also have a tweaked ramdisk (?) so I guess the same as for franco is needed ?

ps: sorry to pollute the thread ....
[Nexus 7 General] stfudude:
I flashed from M kernel to franco without wipe.
[Nexus 7 General] Milamber33:
Since Franco has its own ramdisk, it would have overwritten the existing one, so you can flash TO Franco from anything. It's just when going FROM Franco that you have to reflash your ROM to get the original ramdisk back.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OthrandorEvel:
I've been a greedy Cyanogenmod user for the past 2 years on my Samsung Galaxy S, which has now been replaced by a Galaxy Nexus. I'm in love with the smooth vanilla experience, but going nightly tempts me. I'm well aware of all the features added by the Cyanogenmod team, but I'm also aware CM10 is still unstable. So the question is, is it worth it flashing CM10 for it's great additions even if it's unstable?

Also, what degree of "unstableness" are we talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Well, compared to the galaxy s, it is very stable. Since its AOSP which is made for the galaxy nexus, the bugs isn't that frequent.

Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
I haven't used CM10 for several weeks I also used Euroskank CM10 before that and both were stable then. I assume that it is even better now.

I can't think of a JB ROM yet that I would call "unstable".

Allons-y
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidxguy:
Should I flash cyanogenmod?

I have ran both 9 and 10, personally I found 9 to be a more stable enviroment, specailly the early builds

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KelevrA_8:
Its rare to find any ROM for the GN unstable in my opinion. I have pretty much flashed every ROM in my thread with minor problems if any.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lithid-cm:
If you have issues with the gnex using CM its usually fixed in the next nightly. It is possible that you have issues with CM specific features. Those also get fixed pretty darn quick. In general, using cyanogenmod with official good phones are a safe bet that you have the best of cm and most stable out of any other cm phone until stable releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daxisalive:
Flash it. It is pretty stable for daily use IMO. Its just that screen may flicker at times, settings might fc at certain times and some settings might be left blank (in my case Gallery settings is empty).

so yea, its really worth a flash and if you dont like it, there's always NANDROID. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooksyx:
CM10 is rock solid for this phone IMHO. The only reason I bought the gsm version of this phone is because it is supported so well by the cyanogenmod team.

I say flash it. You won't regret it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
If you use a different Gapps package, ie Formula, the blank settings should be fixed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
also a ex-galaxy s user here, let me tell you, it's not just cm, all have roms are built from the ROM source available (gapps/device binaries are proprietary, but still), not just the kernel, like it was on i9000.

flash anything you want. roll your own if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OthrandorEvel:

I have also migrated from galaxy s ( with cm 10) to gnex stock jb. I don't feel the need to flash anymore.... I am loving the stability of stock jb. I needed notification toggles n t9 dialer so I downloaded apps from play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daniel Bostan:
Dude I'm in the same situation like you. Switched from galaxy s to nexus and tryed more than one rom on it.

You can try Cyanogenmod to see how it develops on your phone but I would recommend using Codename Android. It's much more stable and you can configure a TON of settings.

Try them out.

You must pay for that service, which is called SIM UNLOCK.

When we say unlock HERE, we are talking about the removal of the restrictions within the Operating System.

What does your battery stats show you after a day at school?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
How long is school? What ROM/Kernel, if any, are you running? Is this the stock battery?

I am losing about 1-2%/hour while I sleep but I feel I get acceptable battery life. I am running Affinity with default Franco r249 kernel. I also have an 2100 mAh battery. Using WiFi almost the whole time this is my most battery life. I would recommend an extended battery and connecting to the school's WiFi if it's available.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
What does your phone say is using your battery? Try clean flashing the ROM, or maybe a different ROM, and see if that helps. How often are apps set to pull data? Look at your battery stats after school and see where it's leaking from.

Do you leave your GPS on? Turn of data if you know your not going to be using it for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
There is nothing on (gps-data-etc.) i have only calling and texting enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
If you have a weak signal inside the building, and mobile network enabled for receiving calls, your phone will expend a lot of battery just trying to constantly find and reconnect to the mobile network. May even get warm. This is especially true if you also have automatic data-sync enabled and your phone is trying to sync a lot of apps over a weak signal. You could test this out by leaving your phone in airplane mode for a few hours. If you get no battery drain then, it's probably a weak signal causing the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nounce:
Above post is True. When I was in school in a full concrete building I drained heavely. At 10 hours I drained 2 full batteries with my S2.

Try turning in the airplane mode and you'll see a big diffrence. Turn it off When u have a break and are outside.

Btw 30% battery usage on 7 hours isnt bad..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
I am at lowest cpu usage when the screen is off which is 90% of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Even with the phone completely unused and idle and the screen off, if there is a weak signal the radio will be working overtime trying to stay connected to the mobile network, causing battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] formaldehyde:
I don't know what happened with the 20120914 CM10 nightly, but I've been getting incredible battery life since flashing it (dirty flashed from M1).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A30N:
Depending on your phone, there is a good change updating to 4.2 will worsen your battery life. I've tested over 30 ROMs from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2, and have found that 4.1.2 returns the best battery life. Again, this varies from device to device, as there have been several revisions to the mainboard and chipsets, as well as varying qualities in production batches. I recommend trying Eclipse ROM 2.1 (Android 4.1.2) for amazing battery life and features.

[HTC One S] Roundtableprez:
I believe that we have a truly amazing device in our hands. If you love your oneS then the least you could do is to write a good review about somewhere like on amazon or something especially since now we have some saboteurs trying to ruin our devices name and drop its rating to zero. But in actuality if our device gets horrible reviews no new developers will come here to work with our phones. I don't believe that is fair and so I am starting my own campaign called goodreview-Aday where I will give positive feedback on our device and rate it high on several major websites that sell our phone such as amazon eBay etc. Everybody can join me to keep development alive for our phone! If everybody not experiencing the alleged issue wrote one good review on one site their evil little "campaign" will have no chance!
[HTC One S] louis.b:
What's so amazing about this phone?
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Only the best CPU chipset, better than the quad in the GS 3 and X (s4)

Amazing build/perceived quality compared to any other android mobile

Great design/looks

Amazing audio, which is only matched by the GS 3 and perhaps the iphone 5

One of the best cameras

Great battery life out of the box, again best there is for android phones

Fastest android mobile currently

IMO sense V4

Regarding the first post, developers won't go by "user reviews" on shop sites, they will look into all the hardware detail and kernel source/drivers/software stuff etc. and if they like what they see then they will buy it.
[HTC One S] kenyw:
Not any more, HTC have reworked the One S to use the Snapdragon S3, and for most regions outside the US at least all newly manufactured units will be the revised spec.

Agreed, and now that they seem to have done something about the metal arc oxidation issues its build quality is great.

Yes, yes and yes, the Beats gimmick aside the regular audio output is of very good quality as GSMArena's measurements show. Camera is a delight to use, although the S3 version has a small buffer lag between shots. Battery life, surprisingly, seems to be very similar between the S3 and S4 models.

The S4 version yes, the S3 version no.

Yes, Sense 4 is really good, better than TouchWiz although I suspect most people on XDA prefer stock Android if it means faster updates :P

Personally, I think the One S was a really good phone when it launched, but the change to the S3 processor has changed my view of the model significantly; it is still a good phone for what it is but the price is too high for a phone using a 2010 chip.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Please don't be a ****. From your signature it looks like you don't even have this device. You are probably one of the trolls who wrote bad reviews.
[HTC One S] jmcdonald58:
I agree this device is amazing-but Htc needs to step up their game and provide S-Off and in general be more developer friendly -Htc Dev has done more harm then good it seems to me and recovery is a mess some use twrp others prefer cmw - If Htc would show better support It would be one the best phones to date Just my 2c
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
And the UK still has quite a lot of S4's. Although S3's are being sold here as well, but not sure which places are selling only those versions. I think amazon are only supplying the S3 versions now. AFAIK the network shops still have supplies of the S4 version.

Completely agree about that with regards to the S3 version.

Regarding the battery and speed, I thought it was the other way round (in real world usage), battery much worse and performance isn't as good but for standard usage like games etc. there isn't a huge difference.

Doesn't help when no one has posted any info. on the battery of the S3 though i.e. screen shots and detailed info..........
[HTC One S] matt310:
^Absolutely agree with this. Recovery really is a mess.

The rest of the device is overall good, but there are some cons to go with the pros.

+ Nice display, accurate colors. PenTile didn't bother me a bit. Great viewing angles and black is truly black, unlike on the Samsung devices where black appears blotchy. 4.3 for me seems the sweet spot for screen size and overall phone size.

+ Slimness of device is nearly unparalleled.

+ Speed (based on S4) is best-in-class

+ Battery life (on Sense ROMs) is excellent

+ Camera and Video capabilities are excellent

- Overall call quality on the latest two radios is awful. Crackling and full of static. This is subjective, and I'm in Los Angeles, which isn't known for amazing AT&T voice quality. This leads me to

- Inconsistent data speeds. Again subjective, but my Lumia 800 seems to pull down faster and more consistent speeds on the ATT HSPA network.

- SIM Cover starts to creak if you remove it more than the first time you install your SIM.

- Placement of the power button at top right for this tall a device is not ergonomic. AOSP/CM10-based ROMs enable wake via volume rocker, which is useful, but inconsistent.

- Saving the biggest for last, is the keyboard accuracy. The stock Sense keyboard is terrible, but the replacements in the market aren't much better. I consistently make ridiculous typing mistakes on Android's keyboards even after calibrating them. How many times do I have to type out 'The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog' in order to have it make a difference? This is, again, subjective, but with my large hands on a large device with plenty of screen real-estate, the keyboard should just work. And unfortunately on this device, it doesn't.
