I've been trying not to make the switch, I'd feel like a traitor. Haha., maybe I'll give it a shot.
GPS is working fine now though, think it was just the heavy overcast this morning?

I notice in the latest nightly it said "disabled sync framework"
So if I flash it, no sync will work such as Gmail, contact sync, Facebook, and other apps or is it referring to something else?

r141 is super !!! This is the first Franco kernel I have been able to run on my Gnex using 512mhz. I always had to use the 384mhz version. Thanks Franco !! :D

If is not too much to ask, what's the difference between 384mhz and 512mhz, when I just to download it asks me which one and I always choose 384mhz cuz I'm scare to mess my phone up cuz I don't knw what 512 would, is it faster or better battery

Higher clock speed means faster speed and worse battery. However, some phones have issues with the higher GPU. Download the 384 version and rename to 384 (as both have the same file name) and then download the 512 version and rename accordingly. Then flash 512. If you have issues, you can always revert to 384.

Has anyone else been experiencing Wifi problems on franco 141? I've been having problems connecting to my home Wifi since upgrading to 141 (512 MHz) this morning. I'm going back to 140 to see if the problem goes away.

Update: I went back to kernel 140 (384 MHz) and Wifi connected right up.

Seems like mine was dropping a lot, couldn't confirm if it was kernel related. I was to lazy to flash back knowing they'll prolly be a new kernel tonight.

Dam what a difference, I flashed 512 n I do feel the better performance I like how it feels, my wifi is working though so far no issues

    franco.Kernel features:

    * I have 1 version for ICS(4.0.3/4.0.4) and one version for JB(4.1/4.1.1/4.1.2). If you ask if it works on older roms I will kick your ass
    * Overclockable by tons of frequencies
    * Custom Voltage Control from Ezekeel
    * Sound Control from Ezekeel/Greg White
    * OMAP Gamma interface
    * Trinity's Contrast control
    * Wifi_PM toggle
    * Fsync toggle
    * Thermal Throttle toggle
    * Debug **** removed
    * BFQ v5 IO scheduler by default
    * Ramdisk tweaks
    * Performance/battery carefully picked tweaks
    * Lots more **** - flash and see for yourself

    Changelog:
    Milestone 6:
    * Merged all patches related to 4.1.2
    * Fixed the famous data drops by tricking Smartreflex to not overly calibrate certain hardware parts
    * Added custom changes to lowmemorykiller driver to force the device to have a certain amount of free RAM to sustain smoothness over the time
    * Made the launcher unkillable by the lowmemorykiller driver to prevent redraws or widget crapping itselfs
    * Added a new governor called dyninteractive - this is similar to interactive in 99% but instead this new governor dynamically adapts its own tunables and settings depending on the system load.
    * Increased Interactive governor kernel priority thread for the frequency change task - more smoothness
    * Added a new tuneable for Interactive governor called input_boost_freq. Path is here: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/input_boost_freq
    * Added all TCP Congestion algorithms presents in the kernel. To check all algorithms run this command on the Terminal/ADB Shell: sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
    To change the algorithm: sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=NAME_OF_THE_ALGORITHM
    * BFQ IO scheduler updated from v4 to v5
    * Added other smaller but still relevant changes available on my github repository

    F.A.Q:
    1. My device rebooted or crashed, how can I help?
    A: Get me /proc/last_kmsg or logcat.
    2. Battery sucks, my device is not entering deep sleep. FIX PLOX!
    A: Fix it yourself, it's an app waking your device up not the kernel's problem
    3. Signal is dropping since I flashed the kernel, amg u sucks!
    A: The kernel has nothing to do with gsm/cmda signal. Make sure you have the latest radios
    4. Do I need to wipe anything when flashing this kernel?
    A: No.
    5. Does this kernel has X or Y mod?
    A: Learn to read, everything you need to know is in the features list, changelog or public repo.
    6. GTA3, FIFA2012 or any game of the type isn't opening?
    A: Flash this on CWM http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27515966&postcount=20011

    * New Wi-Fi driver from android-omap-3.0 repository - may contain bugs because it's around a 30 patches merge
    * Decreased a little bit the nominal voltages to accommodate the change to the smartreflex driver change for the 1.5Ghz and 1.4Ghz steps
    * SR now skips calibration if the nominal voltage is >= 1300mV instead of the previous 1350mV value
    * New toggle to disable thermal throttle: echo N > /sys/module/omap_temp_sensor/parameters/throttle_enabled (need testing on this, might or might not work as I can't achieve higher temperatures than 68ºC no matter what I do)
    * Small tweaks and optimizations - check repo

    26th April - Milestone 3
    This is the perfected version of the last 35 days of testing of roughly 1 nightly build a day. The most important changes from Milestone 2 are:
    * Merged 4.0.4 kernel patches from Google (IMM76D and IMM76I)
    * Data dropouts is fixed
    * Interactive Governor patched up to be in line to android-3.0 branch
    * Hotplug governor added and tweaked for stability
    * Merged a lot of patches from omapzoom.org for battery and performance improvements in our OMAP4 board drivers
    * Hotplug_mod renamed to Generic Hotplug and changed paths to: /sys/module/omap2plus_cpufreq/parameters/generic_hotplug
    * Added BLX from Ezekeel. The default value is 96. Path: /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
    * Reduced VAUX3 and VUSIM voltages for more screen_on time at the end of the day
    * Simple IO scheduler added and made default
    * EXT4 patches from 3.0.2X kernel.org patch
    * Lots of small tweaks and improvements that are available on my bitbucket git repository

    Thanks for everyone whos been with me, helped, reported and supported me. Big shout out to +Ezekeel Johnson and +IMosey On for their awesome work on their kernels, some of their patches, code and long hours discussing kernel stuff.

    I've cleaned the thread from earlier today. There seems to be a lack of respect. If a developer is working his ass off to provide you with something and you do not like it, don't use it. Do not come in here and try to start trolling and getting a rise out of people. If it happens again, there won't be infractions, there will be bans. If you have a question about the specific rom and/or kernel then ask, but do not come in here with an attitude saying someones work is not up to par and does not meet members' standards. I will only say this once.
