There's been a lot of talk comparing r35 and pre6. Decided to flash pre6 again to see our myself. Might be placebo but pre6 feels smoother. Is that possible?

For me 36-pre1 was more battery hungry, so I reverted to r35.

[MENTION=4861657]TheMysteriousOne[/MENTION] thanks for the info. I guess the battery drain some of us are experiencing when idle with Google Services showing up has something to do with Play app version 4.1.6.

I just checked, I am having Play app version 4.1.6.

[MENTION=4615478]boype[/MENTION] I will update my Play app to the latest version 4.2.3 and then do another overnight battery drain test on pre36-01 again.

For those who want to manually update theirs, the APK can be found at http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/07/18/download-latest-google-play-store-4-2-3/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raikkoni27:
no placebo. i flashed pre36-01 just now. and there's a lot of difference between this and r35. this feels a lot smoother. getting a gps lock as well.

and i'm on play store 4.1.10. let's see how battery drains now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bartolinio:
4.1.10 it is not the latest version

4.2.3 is the latest version ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcphobic:
Thanks.

[MENTION=4255438]raikkoni27[/MENTION] the latest is version 4.2.3 now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raikkoni27:
I know. I was talking in reference to those who were advised to upgrade to 4.1.10 since they were having problems of battery drain with 4.1.6.

And AFAIK, 4.2.3 has some sort of restrictions, which I'm not sure of. That's why I thought of sticking to 4.1.10 for the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
I just updated my play store to 4.2.3 and I'll test idle drain tomorrow at work, its about 1.2-1.7% an hour atm, I'm on ext35 with lots of undervolting. Great battery life anyways, I do want to see if the play store caused this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raikkoni27:
transitions and apps seem a lot snappier in pre36 but the battery drain is also a lot as compared to r35 ext
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Charmacas:
Just a short feedback because I am in Portugal for vacation.

Here's a translation which I made from an explanation from a German forum.

Since I see so many wrong information about ZRAM here I decided to clarify the whole matter. People often talk about a performance advantages because ZRAM is faster than swap. This may be true for normal PCs but we are using Android and here it looks a little different!

Once a brief statement for those who are not so long in the Android scene:

ZRAM = ramzswap = Compcache

Before explaining ZRAM more precisely first other terms have to be clarified:

Swap could be compared with the swap file on Windows. If the memory (RAM) is full with data which is not being actively used (eg background applications) it will be outsourced to free RAM. Because of this data is being written to the hard disk. If necessary, these data can then be easily read back from there. Even the fastest SSD is slower than the RAM. On Android, there is no swap!

In ZRAM unneeded memory resources are compressed and then moved to a permanently reserved area in RAM (ZRAM). So a kind of swap partition in memory. This gives more free ram, because the data have only about 1/4 of the former storage requirements. However, the CPU must operate more, since it must compress the data (or decompress it when they are needed). The advantage here is clearly in speed. The swap partition in RAM is much faster than a swap partition on a hard disk.

As a conclusion you would say it's a great thing but Android has no swap partition and therefore ZRAM gives no performance gain on Android as it would be the case on a normal PC.

On a normal PC it would look like this:

Swap = swap file (on disk) -> Slowly

ZRAM (swap in RAM) -> Faster than swap

RAM -> Quick

On Android, there is no swap partition, and therefore ZRAM gives no performance boost. The only thing that ZRAM gives is "more" RAM. By compressing the available memory is been enlarged. That is very useful on devices with a very small amount of RAM (

Im not sure if its the test kernel or the optimizations I put in my ROM, heck my battery meter may be reading wrong. I didnt fully charge my phone after flashing the rom but over an hour and a half, with moderate usage only went from 55 to 50. Im betting its the kernel though considering the focus was battery drain. Will report back after I fully charge and drain.... Great job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbear6708:
Back on this kernel. Great work, thx Boype. Love the development!! Anyone use interactive vs ondemandplus?? Any difference? I ask because Google picked interactive...right? Thx.

ok, SOD come back and I notice that it only happens when i play minion rush. the music of the game is still played but the screen's black.

I keep most of the stock settings of this kernel. I use r35 ext, and only change RAB 512, MPS 0, and min frequency 384.

what should I do? :confused:

It sounds more like a graphics issue than a sod. Just how dead was the device if it was still playing music?

black screen and I can't click the power button so I have to pull out the battery to restart it.

I have one dead pixel and it's showing on the screen when black screen happens. means the device is not off but only have black screen.

I've been hesitant to switch from ondemandplus. Maybe it's just me, but I've just been completely satisfied with this governor in terms of battery life and performance. I haven't tweaked it at all. The only thing I've even messed with are my cpu voltages. I'm doing a slight undervolt--but that's probably just to satisfy my need to tinker.

I also hear the same about interactive too--that it more suits this device. So I have the same curiosities. Boype did great by leaving this as the default gov and it's going to take some very convincing arguments to get me to switch

Even though it's listed as a feature swap does not work on this kernel. Just a heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
No if you enable it by boot, plug in the cable while the phone is powered off and then turn the phone on it won't work, because trickster(or every app out there) does not apply the settings immediately. Maybe init.d script would work.

Yes I know, but my phone is always on so plug always after trickster enable fast charge ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
If you haven't paid it any attention, then that means it isn't noticeable, so you shouldn't worry about what others say for now. If it's been good, then don't worry about it. Placebo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
On r35 ext, my idle drain went from 1.3-2% per hour to like 1% after upgrading the play store to 4.2.3 so people should definitely try this, its a great fix, and screen on battery is insanely good, I get like 3.5 hrs on screen with 12-18 hrs of being on. I'm running with a decent under volt, fsync off, CAB on, and RAB to 512. My ROM is cm10.1.2 and this kernel complements it greatly, keep up the amazing work!

This is no placebo effect. I upgraded to the latest play store and I noticed the difference right away

The relentless pursuit of the perfect rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boype:
Interactive is built by google for android and it is a very very good, very capable governor. However, in my opinion, it is very much targeted at "give more smoothness, don't care too much about battery". Therefore, I made ondemandplus. It is based on interactive's smart framework, tries to give a smooth user experience too - but it has more powersaving capabilities. There'll always be some sort of trade-off when it comes to smoothness vs. battery.

Also, I'd like to write a sentence about the quite popular belief that interactive is kind of custom tailored and is the one and only governor that's really optimal for phones. It is not. It's definitly much smarter, newer and better than the plain old ondemand, but there are other worthy governors too.

I have really amazing battery life on r35 myself. 3.5 days off the charger, 2:45h screen-on-time

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2rjt:
R35 and R36test1 seem identical to me in both buttery and battery areas. I prefer R35 because the patches that were removed look good.

If R35 were the last Fancy kernel I would be happy and use it for months. But many want a new kernel every day to satisfy a flashing habit. ;) Perhaps further tests could focus on adding back some things that were removed while searching for the elusive SOD.

The performance gain of 1.5 over 1.4 is minimal: I can't sense and difference. The battery drain difference however is huge. I keep max freq at 1.4 with ondemandplus. My preferred settings in fact are all defaults except max freq 1.4 and vibrator at 60.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Handled:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2rjt:
It is rather subjective but for me 1.3 feels just like 1.2, and 1.4 is an improvement. With ondemandplus of course the high frequency is seldom used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apophis9283:
Most of you are running custom roms, I dont see the need to go over 1.2. If youre a gamer I somewhat understand. If you cant run your rom at 1.2 and it be smooth, I would look into my apps and my rom.

Buuuuuut, your ROM at 1.4 as pretty sick! That said, it's pretty sick at 1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apophis9283:
I have never had to go above 1.2. Anything more to me is battery waste. This kernel is amazing and does its job perfectly at 1.2.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d0ge01:
Benchmark is not "real" test, improvement from 1.3 to 1.4 is like 6% , decreased by memory limitation and others hardware stuff, anyway , 50mV voltage don't cause HUGE battery drain, huge battery drain is caused from too time stuck in max freq ( governor | apps )

I IMHO use

1.4Ghz as max, only because our Soc is designed to run at 1.5 Ghz with thread increased to 95 and lowering interhi and interlo freqs ( to 700 and 500 )

Since we're on the topic of benchmarks, I've got another questionable method to quickly ascertain how my Trickster MOD settings effect my phone's performance: I slide down the notification shade and quickly move my finger up and down to see if the bottom of the shade follows without any lag.
