I was initially skeptical like Boype, about disabling 1080p recording. I use my gnex as my only camera and often record videos. But i checked my archives and found that all were 720p.

Perhaps two builds, one with and one without? We already have std and ext, maybe one of those does it?

Still nicer would be a way to make this feature able to be enabled by a kernel startup argument. Bundle that with a way to edit the kernel arguments. Any takers?

I'm also feeling like Fancy 4.2.2 needs some love. Bigmem and zram at least. That might be tough though since Fancy 4.3 is almost a different project.

To close: Fancy is Fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mick.li:
Thanks, I knew that CFQ was the probable cluprit but wanted to run the kernel with CFQ to see if the bug has been fixed. But since I want to try the bigmen-kernel, I went ahead and flashed that one, changing the the scheduler to SIOplus.

BigMem version really amazing guys..

even underclock to 1Ghz and undervolt 100mv but my gnex still flying even better than standar version

and i almost never use video recording, so 1080p / 720p, it doesn't matter for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jar3112:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
My suggestion is to have only extended and bigmem version, I don't really see the need of the standard one :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
My opinion is the same. Who wants customization uses extended, who doesn't - uses stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
Yeah. Bigmem with linaro is excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Charmacas:
Because I was too curious I am also trying the linearo bigmem r40 kernel. I also did not think that it will make that much of a difference but... Woah... It does! Multitasking is much better now.

I also deactivated ZRAM because I monitored it and it was used very rare. So I thought I would better give the 10 % of RAM back to the system.

boype said he is also interested and I "know" (for myself) that his next release will blow our minds. :P

Question about green gama offset

Even if this is not particularly a Fancy kernel problem (I've encountered it before, on other kernels too) I'll ask here because it is still present and it is kernel related, in my opinion:

If you change your green gamma offset in Trickster MOD - Screen tab to a negative value (say -1) and apply it, are your screen colors going berserk, all greenish and effed up? Does anybody have an explanation, a link to read more about this, or even better - a cure?

I am happy with the current color settings, I just wonder what's going on.

[MENTION=4615478]boype[/MENTION], not sure how it could work out this way, ran

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] splus:
I think everyone is downloading and trying Linaro version (just because it's "Linaro" :rolleyes: ) and commenting how fast it is, but all the speed gain is just because of the bigmem, not because of Linaro...

Benchmarks posted earlier show there's no difference between Linaro and GCC versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fleischbanane:
And some user like me will not use a bigmem version because I often use the 1080p video recording.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghostsepp:
Hello fellas, this kernel getting better and better. I'm using it now since r29 and never had such a good battery life before. I'm on latest PA and r40. I thought r39 test 3 would have a good battery life but r40 is much better. Awesome work boype :o).

How can it be that there is still progress?

Greetz ghostsepp:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] splus:
Really???

I've tested it and compared it in details to 720p long time ago and I've found that it sucks big time!

You get inconsistent AND low frame rates and the video quality of individual frames is hardly better than 720p (when similar frames are frozen and compared).

And the bps (bit per second) for 1080p is also real bad, just little higher than 720p, which means the video quality is actually inferior to 720p.

This has nothing to do with bigmem but I find that for any practical use 720p actually gives a better video than 1080p.

If course, I'm talking strictly about Gnex.

On better, more capable phones, 1080p very much makes sense and has much better quality than 720p.

But face it, we have a 2 year old hardware. In fact, the GPU is more like 3 years old, which is like eternity for smartphones...

if the rom is based off Linaro, would it make sense to use a kernel that is also based off linaro compare to gcc?

I believe,that it completly doesnt matter,if ROM is or is not build with linaro in relation with kernel.

Is anyone knowledgeable enough and willing up for compiling a new version for 4.2.2 with some of these new features?

I have no idea what it would take to get a new 4.2.2 version working, but it can't hurt to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
Why do you need 4.2.2 version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infectedorganism:
Why not? Some of us are still on 4.2.2.

I'm waiting for Carbon to release a stable version of 4.3, as right now they are still adding back features present in their 4.2 ROM. Not only that, but after all this time, I'm tired of flashing ROMs, etc. so I tend to stick with stable, milestone releases and Carbon is yet to release a stable 4.3.

Also, it seems like some new and interesting features have been added to the 4.3 kernels and I would enjoy having those while I'm still on 4.2.2. I'm not asking the Dev, because his focus is on 4.3, but any community member who is able and willing.

Like I said, it doesn't hut to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
If you follow that logic all the way to the end, you should only run the kernel that comes with a ROM.

Flashing bigmem version made me realise that I wasn't using 1080 :D I always thought that it was on. So when everybody is pleased with 720p and the extra mb than maybe boype will give in under our pressure ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motorazrv3:
Yeah a last 4.2.2 kernel as bigmem version would be really cool.

I don't use 1080p recording at all. To bad quality and 720p is enough.

Disable fsync system calls for more I/O throughput in expense for data intgrity in case of system crash or freeze. For mine, I turn it off, I dont have any important data on my phone and with fancy kernel the phone is seldom (nearly never) crash.

Bigmem/Linaro-r40 works really fantastic! I still use 10% zram additionally, performance and snappiness are just awesome :) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FutureGamerz:
I've just flashed my phone to R40-ext Bigmem/Linaro version too. Let's see what it does. I don't use ZRAM though because I greenify most of the thing. Can't find myself using those apps so better let them rest in peace.

It's exciting by just looking at the magic number "763" instead of the old "693".

Besides that, 1080p doesn't matter for me because I found out that the "view" of 1080p is actually a bit weird. If someone noticed... When you set the camera to 720p and compare it against 1080p, the angle/field of view is different.

I tried taping the same object using both 720 and 1080p. I liked the 720p one more. Eyes problem?

I just find 720p to be more than sufficient. 1080p is something I don't need or something I need once in a blue moon. The extra 70MB RAM definitely worth sacrificing the 1080p video recording :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Starsream88:

Guys, just throwing this out there but could we cut down on the "bigmem" posts in here please? I'm just looking for some info on the last release by [MENTION=4615478]boype[/MENTION] and I have to sit here and sift through 10+ pages about this unofficial kernel not even released by the OP of this thread. This is the development thread of fancy kernel by boype. He never even released an extended ram version here, so could we keep it to troubleshooting / debugging / etc- fancy kernel? Everyone preaches about searching threads, but when you have over ten pages discussing something off topic everything just becomes a mess. I don't see why whoever built those versions can't open a [Unofficial]Fancy Kernel thread in Galaxy Nexus General, or just cherry pick some features, do your own thing with it using fancy as a base, rename & release it. More kernels / devs are always welcome in these parts. :)

Don't mean to be a " Debbie Downer" here, but these extended RAM kernels are nothing more than a novelty to me. I'd much rather be able to use Netflix, Hulu, YouTube in HD, etc. than sit on a little extra RAM and that is all I have read about these last bunch of pages. I didn't even realize boype didn't release it at first so pleeeeeeeaaaaassseeee can we keep this thread clean and on topic to official fancy kernel? Thanks.

I used my camera last night. It's still fine last night. After reading both of your posts, I fired up my barcode scanner. Didn't work.

I can't connect to camera after that. Needed a reboot.

Confirmed with Barcode Scanner (standalone app) and Line Tools' QR Code Scanner. In the former app, it makes my camera fails. The later one just FC :D

Doesn't matter for me. Will continue with bigmem linaro version.

I think it is not a problem with 720p/1080p setting. The app can't access the camera with that kernel. Not sure what's wrong.

I used the bigmem linaro version until yesterday and now, went back to 41-2. It's night and day, I can really see the difference now! Everything is more fluid with more RAM and that's the biggest difference, a smoother UI. I'm also able to change between apps without them reloading everytime.

I also had problems with the camera and the scanner, but a reboot fix the issue. I think we can reproduce the issue when the phone is on for a long time, at least I had this only by the end of the day. Also, 41-2 gives me more battery life (not a big difference but can save sometimes)

Anyway, this is my experience. I'm going back to the bigmem version!
