SmittyV 4/26 has been running amazing for me, no reboots or sod's and only minor lag very rarely. I think google needs to get their asses in gear and fix chrome because it's the only app that ever causes major lag or freezing for me.

SmittyV 4/26 is my new fallback kernel from now on (2/28 was my old choice)!

No problems at all on Vanir...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Haha yeah you made me think of it. Pretty cool. It'll unlock your bootloader and everything now thanks to me incorporating my BootUnlocker script. :p

If you can think of anything else to add, feel free or let me know. I'd love to make it a swiss army knife.

Only problem with the Dev Tools toggle is the same as with the "Restart Synapse" button to refresh the lists, it abuses how Synapse works so sometimes it'll get stuck with a loading spinner and you have to close and start it again. Then sometimes after that it'll complain about "No UCI" or "No root" but closing again and starting resolves it.

Oh well. Having the secondary interface will probably be worth it for the bug reporting alone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Yeah, they really need to do something about flash on desktop chrome too, its ridiculous to see flash using so much memory (Mine sometimes tops out at 3 million K before crashing on ubuntu lol)

Never seen this one before, doesnt sound good though-

[ 2522.535339] Internal error: : 406 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Btw, anyone at all having issues getting a random bootloop on the google logo sometimes after rebooting? Its weird since there doesnt seem to be any major issues regularly and usually a battery pull and reboot seems to fix it... If its just me then I really think my gnex is about to finally die
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Totally agree, Chrome on desktop used to always be the fastest but every so often over the last year it halts to a standstill on loading, thought it was my connection but nope, that's been fine every single time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Couple guys mentioned that on CM M5, though most of us seem to be finally rid of the logo bootloop for awhile now. I thought it might be because I used a newer nightly than M5 to rebase the ramdisk since nobody else had any issues. Then, just to confuse things, someone posted that they were using M5 with no issues. :p

Edit: On closer inspection of my kmsg the error either is or caused ksm freaking out about something atomic, resulting in a panic.

It makes me sad to say that IE is faster than Chrome on my old desktop PC running Windows 7. I think it's because all of IE is hardware accelerated where Chrome is just the rendering. Memory management also seems like a massive problem.

It's the new improved fast charge. 1 still allows data, so shows USB, but charges more like AC. 2 will force the old way where it says AC.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imam.krismanto:
Can android kernel support swap like native linux kernel, to add ram space?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Pretty much, that's sort of what Z-RAM is about. :good:

Here's the description I wrote for Synapse:

"[Z-RAM] attempts to increase performance by compressing RAM to create a virtual swap device. Potentially frees up RAM for multitasking at the cost of CPU to de/compress pages."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imam.krismanto:
How about swap file system instead of zram so will not consume the cpu utilitize..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I don't know too too much about this stuff, but I think I recall reading the issue is sd storage would be far too slow compared to RAM, so compressing it is the favored approach.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
trust me swap is gonna kill the performance of the device...i have tried an app that allows u to use any amount of any of ur partition as a swap also surprisingly it worked for for the first half an hour or so but later the entire swap was used and i was left with around 100mb of ram which cannot be used whatsoever even though the swappiness was set at 60..the performance went horrible and i immediately deleted it...

i m not complaining about the app coz it did what it claims to do but may be its not for GNEX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milojoseph:
i use this mod that someone shared. it is outdated but works great on my nexus. I just disable zram and phone run fast.

plus some roms have it included.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I think the main reason people dont use swap on the gnex is because of the nature of swap constantly being written to which can drastically shorten the life of the flash memory in the gnex (emmc), even if you only have swap on the data partition, it can reach the write limit of the emmc and essentially brick your phone...

So I'd strongly advice against using swap on the gnex

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
tried a few days back, really a good launcher but not to my taste however revisiting it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Just to expand on this a bit more;

Using swap on the emmc flash space I believed will STILL consume CPU in order for it to actually find and call back what has been placed on the swap space.

The reason the zram method is preferred (besides the already mentioned killing of the flash memory) also has to do with the speed at which it can get the stuff that has been compressed due to it being on ram memory(which is WAY faster than from the emmc memory). So even if the swap to emmc used any less CPU, it would still take more time due to the nature of the memory. And zram function has been optimized for better speed as well.

I personally use neither but HAVE considered trying out making a specific swap partition just to see how she behaves. You could always give it a try, but as mentioned, I wouldn't recommend for long term use. (Listen to me acting like I actually know something about how any of this works...lmao...don't mind ash)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
All this talk about swap brought back some memories from my g1 days, ok here goes,

Thru a lot of testing back in the day, swap works pretty well and as does zram, the only problem is the swappiness, the default 60 is set for PC and Linux boxes, but thrh the testing we found that on android, a swappiness setting of 10-30 percent is ideal for phones, its been many moons so I can't remember all the details but def give it a try, I used to use swap and or zram all the time with a personal setting of 10 swappiness and never had a problem, other than the processor struggling to keep up lol, but that def wasn't a problem on my Nexus

Sorry for the rant lol, jus so many memories

Only reboot issue I've had in the last little while was the kmsg I posted that looks like KSM derped. Anyway, hard to say what happened for you without any logs, but I haven't seen any problems running suspend_trim on my device.

Good point. I know Fancy sets it to 35%. Also important to not make your swap too large. We have (at most) ~760mb of usable memory, so you wouldn't want to set your Z-RAM swap size larger than 256mb so you don't push your compression ratio too hard (or something like that). I recently decreased the absolute max in Synapse from 512 to 384 to discourage this incorrect usage.

LOL, Long story short, Drake was on that show for years long before he ever became psuedo-popular in music. Towards the end of his characters part in the show he got shot by a trenchcoat mafia type kid and was paralyzed, left wheelchair ridden for the remainder of the show. Drake is a total tool and a poser.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Firewalker1980:
I've been having this boot loop - getting stuck on reboot etc etc for like 4-ever. Even rebooting to recovery only works about 50% of the time.

The only thing that has helped me is wiping everything - inclusing the sd partition. But it won't do me good for long though.

Guess some roms/apps screw it up again and again.

Even if the Rom and Kernel work absolutely fine, I still need to pull the battery regularly when (re)booting the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
I sometimes use your franco r395 optimized with your Toolchain and all optimizations and it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
You mean you change the fno-strict-aliasing under KBUILD_CFLAGS in franco's makefile to -fstrict-aliasing and also add the cflags -Werror=strict-aliasing and -Wstrict-aliasing=2 ? (the last 2 are to make the compiler show strict aliasing violations and error out on them since they can cause issues)

If so, then it could just be all the commits smitty and vanir have added causing the errors

I am trying to get omapzoom 3.0 kernel working for tuna. :3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Building kernels doesnt take a ton of cpu power lol

I have a core2duo as well with 4gb of ram and compiling a kernel takes between 5 and 10 minutes (depending on what compiler options, what else I'm running, etc.)

Compiling roms however requires at least 4gb ram with at least 4gb swap partition (You WILL end up using quite a bit of swap space with only 4gb ram), at least a dual core 2 ghz cpu (I have a 2.7 ghz dual core) and a 64 bit version of linux. However with the minimum requirements be prepared for it to take 4-5 hours to compile a rom and, for me ram gets about 95% full with like 1-2 Gb of swap used lol

FYI, the actual recommended setup for compiling android 4.0+ is ridiculous, google actually recommends 16gb of ram lol

Btw, [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] [MENTION=4022928]Carlos_Manuel[/MENTION] here is a new toolchain to test for the gnex, its similar to the one Christopher83 has in his thread but instead of having hard float optimization enabled by default, it has softfp by default. (Hard floating optimization doesnt work well on the gnex if I remember correctly so we use softfp, right?) and instead of being optimized for linux kernel version 3.4.87 it is optimized for linux kernel version 3.0.101 (it would be nice if we could ever get a 3.4.87 kernel version though lol). I tested and it compiles fine but havent gotten to test how the compiled kernel performs yet

linaro 4.9.1 cross-compile toolchain optimized for softfp and kernel version 3.0.101

FYI, [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION], its actually pretty easy to compile the toolchains, theres just one little trick you have to remember
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michierusama:
Smutty what's the changelog on 05/01/14 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Well you follow all the instructions to get the source, sample configs and how to compile, but you have to manually edit the .config to add in the proper versions of GMP, MPFR, ISL, CLOOG, MPC under Companion libraries and 3.0.101 kernel version needs to be added under Operating System. For some reason the latest versions of all those arent listed as options in the config menu so manually changing them in the config is the only way to get them :P

Btw, this is the exact config file I used for the toolchain I compiled

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Cool I never tried building one , but I might one day .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Its not too hard if you remember that little trick, the only thing is it takes 30 min to an hour the first time you compile since it has to download and extract all the things needed to build

OP updated : All 3 Kernels

-Switched to Linaro 4.9.1 GCC

-updated BFQ to V7r2 ( v7r3 is out , but still working on adding it )

- Syynape now has a "2nd" DEV Tools section , which includes things like dmesg and last kmesg saves , bootloader lock/unlock , Advanced reboot menu ,live VM stats and memory info . To get to this page , scroll to Advanced Options and click the last button labeled DEV TOOLS

( HUGE thanks to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] for this , He's done amazing work to bring synapse to the level it is , I'm using now over trickster mod because its as good in my mind )

-Added ambient temp sensor support , [MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION] first applied this to his Omni kernel , and latest Vanir builds should support this as well ( both kernel and ROM support is needed ) , seems to work to me { [MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION] }
