Bigmem is very smooth but with linaro I have a lot of sudden restarts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marshy73:
Same here....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
So, before this camera/barcode incident, you had NOT rebooted your phone since installing the bigmem kernel?

1) Are you saying we need to install the bigmem kernel, then immediately reboot again?

2) OR try to open camera/barcode scanner first, then reboot -- and after that all is fixed?

Clarify, please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Same on the other bigmem version too. Pity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csolanol:
Where can i download the bigmem version?. Can't find it in the thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FutureGamerz:
Works here. Should you try again after restarting your phone?

I'm using the Linaro version of R40-ext. No random reboots. Only problem now is with Barcode Scanner. However, I just replaced it with QR Droid. Reasons: 1) It has a higher rating on Play 2) It works with Bigmem version 3) It has tonnes of functionalities as compared to Barcode Reader.

Thanks for the guy who mentioned it ;)

Btw, the battery life on Bigmem Linaro R40-ext is good as usual. Can't feel a difference when compared with regular Fancy. Enjoyed using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] docck:
After installing bigmem kernel all worked without problem. But I rebooted phone few times after this and when I tried open camera has message "can't connect camera ". So I reboot once more and it solved problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
I had a lot of lag and two force reboots with bigmem linaro around 20-% battery, but that was when I had sioplus and ondemand. I changed to deadline and interactive, been solid ever since! Cheers guys!

I haven't got any lag or random restart when using bigmem linaro. My settings: deadline / interactive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
It works fine, the only thing about instagram now is that when recording videos u have to use the external camera app and then upload to instagram, its an unfortunate work around but hey I'll take it until they fix the partitions without things breaking

All in all I'm satisfied with bigmem

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Sahil_:
dear i have to flash extended version ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FutureGamerz:
It depends on whether you want these extra features on the Extended Version:

sound control (high performance sound, volume boost)

custom voltage control

fsync toggle

temperature control

1536 MHz CPU overclock step

zRAM from 3.7 kernel (with fast LZ4 compression)

module support (for PGM, e.g.)

You should decide yourself based on what you need. No one can decide for you anyway. Most of us running extended version. Take that as a reference.

Im on Slimbean beta 5 with r40-bigmem-linaro. I have just done quadrant and antutu, i could only able to get around 3200 and 11700 on antutu, yet i saw some posted they able to get 4k on quadrand and 13k on antutu. May i know, What rom or what setting in trickster they have? Appreciate! Btw, slimbean with bigmen-linaro is really snappy, i can feel much faster! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FutureGamerz:
Numbers doesn't matter as long as it's smooth. Some ppl just managed to get better benchmark score maybe due to their chipset. I tried so many times on same configuration but I never get as high as what some others get. Then I gave up trying.

3800 is my best for quadrant. 129XX for Antutu. It's smooth so I don't really bother to force my phone to go high in benchmark anymore.

I guess you need to ovetclock both CPU and GPU to get close to those values you mentioned.

Yes, u r right as long as it is smooth... I did overlocked to 1.4, yet there is reboot on 1.5hz... GPU i used fancy default.. Overall, im satisfied.. :D

Well, i think it's not your fault because i've heard that some devices (mine is one of them) if are not unlocked after boot they restart themself because of the CAB. Try to disable it via trickster!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jar3112:
Seems like you were right! Disabled CAB and I didn't face the issue! :p

Anyway I have to say that I wouldn't have been able to compile this kernel without the help of [MENTION=2905425]stuffynet[/MENTION], who gave me some good advice!

Sigh...

Perhaps the 1080p-killer kernel needs is own thread, so you can post the links in the OP.

If Boype ever kills 1080p in his kernel, that thread can die (as some of us start our own thread, People for the Ethical Treatment of 1080p.)

BTW

If only thing hugemem broke was 1080p video recording, I'd take that as a fair trade. But barcode scanner, instagram, who knows what else... IMHO give it up guys. My gnex has enough memory already thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
Its a dev phone, things are supposed to break lol, things are supposed to b experimental, instagram isn't broken nor is barcode scanner, poorly coded yes but not broken, QR-droid works and on instagram u only have to use the stock video recorder an then upload ur video, no biggie as its in 720p anyways right???? IMHO the nexus is much much better with the bigmem versions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jar3112:
If boype decides to ban these discussions from the thread I'm sure everyone will respect his decision.

Till that moment I think it's relevant to the development of the kernel itself, just because it gives improvement to user experience.

Yes, it is. It's a Google Nexus device. A pure AOSP phone. This is probably one of the stupidest replies I've ever seen on XDA... and that's saying something.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

while i understand what you are saying, you aren't alone.

there are a lot of users (like myself) who don't use ANYTHING you mentioned.

so the *trade-off* of those things not working vs. having more usable RAM is a no brainer decision for myself.

in other words, there's nothing wrong with going for broke and just seeing what the possibilities are. if it breaks something that some people arent using and they dont care, then it's still beneficial to those users. everyone has widely different usage for their device(s) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
192 works fine here, it's more if your phone is capable of handling that, simple solution is to raise to 384 , if it persists then raise voltage by +25mv all around an see if that helps

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
Wow what are your settings?? I'm seriously frustrated that I cannot get amazing battery life like most of you here. I'm not sure if it's the ROMs I flash or because I have a toro version. I wish my battery life was THAT good. I get horrible battery life even with the r40 bigmem linaro. I don't even have many apps just like 20-25 and most of them are Google apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
fellow Toro user as well here,

trust me, unless you have one of those HUGE extended batteries out there, you are better off just grabbing a couple(i have three) OEM batteries, they fit perfect in most wallets or small enough to keep handy.

it will be easier to do that than to try and find some magic combinations to get 3.5+hrs screen on time in 16hrs.

the ONLY time i started getting higher than 3hrs screen on time over almost full day was when i dropped vzw. i keep my sim out, turn on airplane mode, and then toggle WiFi on. and if i keep my screen brightness low, and stay away from constant heavy use, that's the battery time i get that kind of battery life on the Toro.

(i have tried an insane amount of combinations of Roms, kernels, apps. that kind of Good battery life depends soo much on your usage patterns with the device I've found)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
I wish I could leave vzw,but cant unfortunately at least not yet. I as well have tried different combinations and never really get great battery life.

Oh well, thanks for the response though..I just hate having huge battery extenders that make the nexus look "fat". Either way, fancy kernel has always been buttery smooth for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I can still scan barcodes. Instagram works fine too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMatt:
On the off chance you are not the world's most stupid troll, YES the Galaxy Nexus IS a dev phone. That is EXACTLY what it is.

Google released one Android developer showcase phone each year known as the Nexus. They don't do it to make money -- they may even lose money on the Nexus phones... But Google does it for prestige and to influence design. They always release it with a new version of Android OS.

It's for developers to torture and do what they want and you almost can't brick a Nexus smartphone permanently. Google Nexus smartphones are DEVELOPER PHONES. That is why you will find more support here at XDA for Nexus than any other line of phones. Period.

But don't just take my word for it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Nexus

It's also sort of why Google doesn't care for SD cards and other things consumers whine about. Google feels the memory should all be in one place. If you want SD cards, go buy a consumer phone. :) But point is, Nexus phones are Android developer phones from Google (who distributes Android).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcphobic:
Hi [MENTION=4102483]evilssj4[/MENTION], this is what I gathered from my experience

1. Some of our Galaxy Nexus get bad battery life with Linaro

2. Some of our Galaxy Nexus get better battery life with Interactive Governor and BFQ or Deadline Scheduler. (u can change it via TricksterMod) - check out my settings via http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45030404&postcount=5408

3. Some users who good battery life might have turned off 3G and data sync when they are not using their phone

4. Some users do not install all the battery draining apps which keeps polling for new data at high frequency. I have uninstalled Facebook app and just use the web browser to surf facebook.

I am getting good battery life with pre40-2ext

See my idle battery drain test result via http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45019434&postcount=5394

So what you can try is this:

1. Uninstall Facebook, Twitter and Google+ apps. Use the web browser to check for updates manually by surfing to their mobile websites.

2. Download and flash pre40-2ext from https://app.box.com/s/64gobsdfm4diynjoc23m

3. Try my custom kernel settings. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45030404&postcount=5408

Insta Video won't work. Insta Pic still works as usual. Yes, QR Droid is good with tonnes of feature. Barcode Scanner is simple but boring.

Screen off Max at 192? You better increase that to 384 or 537. I had it at 537. Min/Screen on min at 192

Erm... For this 3.5 hours, I have around 50mins on reading with 3G connected in the background. Reading consumes much less battery. Another 30 mins of heavy surfing/facebook on data. Rest of the time spent on browsing on WiFi.

wow thanks for all this info! I will try what you have suggested. I only have the FB messenger but I think I will uninstall that. I do have google+ but I have all sync off for that. What ROM are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2rjt:
It is not a "Dev phone" in he sense that we should expect and put up with apps breaking due to a kernel change. It is probably the most stable android phone ever, especially when you stick with a stock ROM. I wasn't trying to troll, was answering the very silly notion that we should expect and put up with breakage.

Whenever Boype introduces a tweak that causes even a few people problems, he reverts the change.

We are very much able to develop on this phone, of course. But we don't have to suffer bleeding-edge problems since the hardware is stable (not in development), we have stable Roms available, and we have a very professionally conscientious kernel developer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parkson:
Not sure you understand what it means to be a dev phone.

[In layman terms] I think, if anything, Dev phones (such as ours) are the ones most likely to encounter "breakage" due to the fact that software and apps are made and tested on Nexus devices before rolling out to other (non-Nexus) devices, to ensure compatibility and to meet compliances

Instagram FC when selected video with bigmem version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jar3112:
Yes, it is a know issue. Instagram seems to use max resolution available for videos, so it is broken by bigmem mod.

Btw I noticed on my bigmem build for 4.2 uploaded yesterday a loss of performance in 3d graphics (according to Antutu benchmark). Though I didn't notice an actual slowdown in games or daily use this may be an issue.

I wasn't able to determine what does cause the loss, if someone has a clue please contact me so I can fix it.

Also by default, Android 4.3 WiFi is set to always on even if u toggle it off in order to improve location services.

I have turned it off because when u are away from any WiFi hotspot, and if WiFi is left turned on... the phone is kept awake because it keeps searching and trying to connect to a WiFi hotspot.

Yes, using WiFi to surf net uses less battery than 3G.

But leaving WiFi on when there is no WiFi hotspot around actually drains your battery while idle.

Please read this article to find out how to disable this always on feature. It should be the 3rd option in the wifi advanced menu settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
If instagram defaults to the largest rez available, taking the 1080p option out of the mix should work. Hacking the gallery apk should do it, right? Since I'm no dev nor do I use instagram, I'll leave it up to others to fix. But the logic seems sound.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boype:
Not yet... But I'll add it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gwindlord:
Thank you so much! :) Kind of personal asking: man, please, don't add all these stuff like other kernel makers. Now your kernel is probably the best and I guess because it is so minimalistic. Don't listen to everyone, adding all features you can find, just make your own mind. I've already seen how good kernels can be spoiled while trying to include everything, and I love your kernel right now as it is. Some enchancements and new versions of existing ones are good, but please, not too many new features :)

And it is necessary about day or even two to get kernel fully settled, if new versions appear often, it is hard to feel the kernel ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boype:
I understand your concern and share your opinion. Since I originally built the kernel for myself, I never really wanted custom UV and sound control stuff. I am currently thinking about having two different versions. One with custom UV and sound control and one without them.

As for the "don't add all features you can find" thing: I most certainly will not. In fact, there won't be many changes in the future at all, except for regular upstream kernel updates and serious breakthroughs. What I have added up until now is all stuff I wanted in there from the beginning.
