Hi,i just flashed this kernel after long time(the last version i flashed was pre 33_2),and i'm happy to see that is still the best kernel for our gnex!!

I flashed just yesterday pre 57_2,everything was working fine,then before going to bed i've powered off my telephone...this morning i turned on my gnex and i got a bootloop...i pulled out battery about 5 times,but still i got bootloops...so i flashed r56...still bootloop....and then i flashed dirty_v,and my phone started succefully...then i flashed r56 and is working well,i didn't try to reboot it yet...is a known issue?what happened?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoftWord:
Thanks :)

Do you have an idea why my phone crash at 3d step?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfances:
I can not find the link for the pre57_2 !! What version of Android do you have on your GNEX? ROM? I mount the pre57_1 and works fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagara.sandaru:
Didn't you dirty flash the ROM before flashing the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BestBrd:
No...(because on the op fancy says is not needed)

Sorry,i flashed pre57_1 , pre 57_2 doesn't exist :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
I also had crashes with 3d test with other kernels, try r54.:good:

r57

Good evening everyone,

here's something great for you. Download the new version from the OP - I suppose you won't be disappointed :)

r56 >> r57

sioplus iosched: tweaks based on extensive testing by pkgnex (awesome subjective feeling, good benchmark results. Thanks a bunch!)

tuna: bluetooth: deassert BT_REG and BT_NRST during boot (cm11 upstream; fixes a bug where the bt chip was always powered on and therefore saves power)

tuna: cache: enable speculative line fills (should improve memory throughput in some scenarios)

timer slack: 50ms

24576 min_free_kbytes

mm: vmscan: If kswapd has been running too long, allow it to sleep

net/l2tp: don't fall back on UDP [get|set]sockopt (cm11 upstream)

disable example rpmsg client/server spam in demsg (cm11 upstream)

fixed a few potential SELinux bugs

some cleaning and minor stuff

Best regards and take care!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
will definitely give this a try tonight. I am still running r54.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkgnex:
Thanks for all you do, boype!

I'm glad to have helped you and the rest of community a (very) little bit with sioplus tuning.

I hope the new settings work as well for other Fancy Kernel users as they seem to for me and you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
I updated my kernel with your sioplus commits and have been using that scheduler since . good work .

As initial exp it feels very snappy but Antutu FC's sometimes, unstable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
I know about the UX , been using this phone since a long time, just using them for just reference, a few kernel patches might have caused & Apart from that r57 is much faster...thanks boype.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Thanks boype for another great release. Changelog looks nice.

Great job pkgnex with the sioplus tweaks. I just did my own personal bench (timed mksh compile in terminal with locked frequency) and saw a 7% increase in compile speed compared to my tweaked bfq. Tested a couple times. For the first time in over a year, I might be switching my d.d. I/O scheduler from bfq to sioplus after some more testing.

I agree with Jar3112. Antutu is crap. I get the same -average- scores in Antutu with a little variation with most settings, when it's not crashing. My recommendation for anybody would be to do terminal benches; time some file copy commands or commands that need memory and cpu load. Examples:

time cp -a /system /data/media
time tar -czf test.tgz /system/bin
time find /sys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfances:
Thx Boype!!!

Fancy R57
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
3D???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfances:
Test Antutu with 3D work fine!!

Do this :

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

wipe system

flash rom

fhash gapps

flash mods( optionals)

flash kernel Fancy r57

reboot

After repeat test Antutu!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl09:
Thx boype:good:. I got 15195 in Antutu. That's my first time got 15xxx. I just overclock the cpu to 1420mhz.

Antutu has new update. I finished the 3D test after updating to the newest version of it. You guys may try to update it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfances:
1420mhz ....could be risky?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkgnex:
I appreciate the positive feedback on the sioplus tuning from everyone.

I used the Androbench storage benchmark app (ran the "micro" test only) for my objective data testing as antutu was on the fritz and tests a bunch of stuff that isn't really applicable to scheduler tuning. Thanks to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] and other members of the Franco.kernel dev team for finding the app!

I did literally hundreds of runs via a designed experimental set-up. When I started, sioplus lagged noop and row, and was pretty comparable to deadline. In the end, sioplus had improved a solid 7% - 10% overall (and I verified this to be statistically significant, not just benchmark noise), mostly with improvements in write speed with no detriment to read speeds, and perhaps a small read improvement as well. It now usually tests as the best performing scheduler of the options, feels great subjectively, and is my daily driver now.

Also, the comment from [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] reminded me... everyone please feel free to pass these values on to any other dev's who use sioplus in their kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infectedorganism:
Any recommended read ahead value or is that device specific? I'm currently using 512.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkgnex:
I use 512 as well. It's overall the best on my device, and I think other test groups had a similar conclusion. YMMV, but it's at least a good place to start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl09:
My Gnex has been overclocked to 1420mhz for about half a year and it's still good. I even tried to overclock it to 1536mhz for a couple months, but the performances were more or less the same with 1420mhz. So, I go back to 1420mhz and save some battery.

There is a big difference of performance between the stock CPU setting and overclocking to 1420mhz. Unless you play some heavy games for several hours at a time, I don't think overclocking to 1420mhz will burn your Gnex. But still, it's at your own risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motorazrv3:
Wow!!! R57 is a masterpiece! Never used a better kernel.

After several test i found those two values for the Read Ahead Buffer Size a.k.a. RAB

RAB@256 - Good for battery

RAB@512 - Good fo Performance (even if during an app update there are several lags)

i didn't had any benchmark...only feelings.

[MENTION=4615478]boype[/MENTION] ...so what you think about it?

by the way...i'm an happy R43 user with 4.3 SlimRom so there should be some difference with your actual device setup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jagoflax:
I've upgraded from r56 to r57 and now I'm having a lot of lag everywhere
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Have you wiped cache&dalvik before upgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jagoflax:
Yes, and also reflashed the PA ROM wiping system... :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
If you can, make a full wipe in recovery again (system, data, cache, dalvik) and then install ROM and kernel. Then you will see if new version is really laggy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jagoflax:
Yes, I'll try this night, thank you. :good:

Flashing 57 over 54 with wiping dalvik and cache is enough? I'm new in this field. I'm on PA beta 4 with fancy 54. Thx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motorazrv3:
When you are on fixed ramdisk r54 then yes. If you are on any kernel its better to dirty flash rom again and than flash kernel.

With r57 and Antutu 5.1, the 3D test runs properly on stock 4.3 ROM, :)

Many thanks to boype for a fantastic release! r57 is gold. I read over the past few pages, and can't help but to be amused with all the benchmark postings... Performance during regular everyday usage is the only benchmark any user should need. Antutu is a steaming pile... But that's a matter for a different thread...

R57 is a big improvement over r55 and r56, but I still experience some bootloop and random instability (rare fc and performance degradation). This running CM9 (and now CM10) .

So, i'm back on r54 and everything seems normal. Slower but more stable (imo).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfances:
Random instability and some bootloop I do not think are due to kernel but the rom cyano !!

Changes rom and you will see the true performance of the fancy kernel.!!

Thx Boype!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veldom:
Maybe (I'm thinking about changing Rom).

But, i wonder why using r54 everything is smooth and fine since its release date and instead I experienced problems with r55, r56 and r57 (fixed ramdisk).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoftWord:
Sorry to break the enthusiasm, but with r57 I'v some random lag.......

Vanir rom + fancy r57.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motorazrv3:
Then you should think about what could be the reason.

If you're using interactive governor try ondemandplus with default settings. I'm using it since yesterday after a long time, performance and batt life is great. I used to have a lag when switching to google now from home screen with interactive and it's less noticeable with Ondemandplus.

i unplugged the phone at 7am this morning, it is now 12:30pm (5.5 hours)

total screen on time is around 58 minutes.

during this time, it is all just different message apps (line, whatsapp, text message etc.) no games

now it is sitting at 56% battery....

normal? or maybe time to replace battery?

edit - running everything stock with Vanir and R57
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] migadeath:
Hmm. I don't know what are you talking about. CM11 M9 and r54 stability is excellent! :) What do you think?

Milan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkgnex:
Normal.

Looks like you're on track for 2-hours screen-on time, along with 45 minutes of music listening, which seems pretty normal for me and what I've heard from others on the forums. This is assuming you have the stock or stock-extended battery and not some larger aftermarket one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
original battery. I guess might be time for a replacement....

i used to be able to achieve 3 OST and 24hour+ per charge back in 4.1 or 4.2 days with the same usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
You are using your phone, then its normally that you will loose battery. Remember you just had 1750 mAh and not 2300 mAh like Nexus 5... If your listen musik and have ~1 hour screen on while your using internet services like line, whatsapp and so on, its more as normal ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
I guess boype had came up first with those LPDDR RAM hack long back...;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Ah, i didn't know about that, thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
That's true, but according to my findings, those timings can be lowered a lot more without compromising stability - you can get another 10-15% bandwidth with those, if you find the right values ;) the default timings are just the JEDEC LPDDR2 timings, it's highly likely that our RAM works with tighter timings, but we wasn't able to find documentations for it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Plus, In AnTuTu bench i've noticed the stock N4 ram speed is lesser than ours, after the old LPDDR hack. It would be cool if we can boost this more for a greater throughput :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
Why not make the RAM timings adjustable via sysfs?

It would be highly risky of course but hey, some of us are brave and up to the task hehe.

i saw this :

could you so easily overclock the memory ?

francos settings are a little bit strange... he set the timming higher than the stock (red one?) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freshgiammi:
Can't overclock RAM without LiveOC because it gets set by XLoader.

Red timings are mine, aka the better ones. Green ones are tuna stock ones. (Higher=stable)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattyboi:):
20$ says we will have our timings stable in the coming days bro.

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

as freshgiammi said,you cant change ram speed without liveOC because the omap Xloader (sort of a soc bootloader) sets the ram to 400mhz on every boot. even if we remove all the 400mhz stuff inside every ram related code file (which i have done) it will still have the config for 400mhz inside the Xloader,therefore you cant statically set it :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nullfeed:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but the search engine appears to be down.

Is there any plan to get this kernel working with Synapse (configuration app) in the future?

P.S. Great job on the kernel! It froze on me twice at first, but has been very smooth and battery efficient ever since. I really wish I had known about this kernel sooner. Dirty-V was giving me crashes on the camera app and youtube for a while now. This kernel is completely stable for me.

How is it you were able to reclaim all that ram like Dirty-V without giving up 1080p video recording?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
If you know how to modify the ramdisk, you can roughly add in Synapse support by copying it from DirtyV's ramdisk files. You want to copy /sbin/uci and /res/Synapse over.

I've included a zipped boot.img of Fancy R57 (with Synapse support plus static busybox 1.23.0 and mksh R50b installed to sbin) that I use with 4.3.1. Just need to unzip the boot.img and then "dd" it to /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot. When you open Synapse, make sure to reset globally if you had old settings from a different kernel. You can also run this in the terminal:

busybox mount -t rootfs -o rw,remount /
/sbin/uci reset
/sbin/uci &
busybox mount -t rootfs -o ro,remount /

edit: Added Synapse.apk as attachment.

edit2: I was able to make a fancy romswitcher boot.img (using Grarak's great project - now deprecated :( ). It also has synapse support along with the other awesome romswitcher abilities: modded CWM recovery (hit power button after 2nd vibration on startup) and multirom installations (havent tried em yet but they should work). This seems to work better for synapse.

On another note, really liking the improved batt life with the bluetooth patch.

Flash directly, if any problems, dirty flash your ROM or stock kernel then flash Fancy. If Fancy is in anykernel format, it is recommended to dirty flash your ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Hey guys, for anyone who's interested, here's the latest updated Synapse.apk attached. Also included a zip of the current boot.img modded with Synapse I'm using for Android 4.3.1. Settings for Synapse save and apply on boot unlike the last one I posted. The only thing it's missing are io scheduler tunables. This uses the synapse scripts from grakern and seems to be more compatible than the DirtyV synapse scripts.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Thanks infectedorganism, I was looking for that thread again today.

I wanted to tweak synapse a little more, but here's an anykernel flash zip that includes synapse functionality. This should work on 4.3, 4.4, etc.

Synapse has the capability to basically build in your own menus with sliders and input boxes to change kernel values. You just gotta look at /res/synapse scripts and modify. It's a little complicated, but I think we could get a really nice synapse interface sculpted out for fancy kernel. Right now this makeshift one I ripped out of grakern works for general kernel values and all voltages though.
