One thing that has worked for me is studying the devs, and following them on almost every social platform .
I have only used Franco's kernels
& Romans Aokp builds
so if something goes wrong I can reduce
the "what happened" neways
My family loves that combo, and my battery does too. I get crazy quadrant scores & SUPER crazy battery life!!!
Thanks Franco!

Running 141 and 512, and no wifi problems, even while sleeping.

Silly question, but under the wifi advanced setting, there is an option for when to keep the radio awake... Make sure this is set to "always", and not sleep with screen off.

Sorry if you already knew, just something to try... I noticed after a factory reset it always defaults to sleep with screen off

First of all thank you for the work you did on teh Kernel - I am using it on my Sprint GNEX and it is working beautifully -

I also wanted to thank you for the Franco Kernel Updater - what an incredible piece of work that is!

I have never had this kind of control at the Kernel Level before - and have always had to use things like SETCPU and or VOltage Control and VOODOO all to do what your one ap can do - well worth the small price you offer it for at the Market.

Just wanted to say thanks- it all works beautifully - and helps me get that much more from this incredible phone.

I'm having another problem, but I can't pin down whether it's kernel-, ROM-, or (yikes!) phone-related. This has happened twice now. I hit the power button to wake my phone from sleep, and the touchscreen is completely nonresponsive. I can turn the screen on and off all day, but I can't unlock or otherwise use my phone. The only way out is to pull the battery. Anyone else seen this?

Nightly 143 (384) is running very smooth on my Sprint GNex. Too early to comment on battery life. The app is very neat too. Thanks =]

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.

The app is downloading milestone 2 not 3. Did I jump on too quick? :)

make sure your app is up to date.

M3 is there

    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

    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.
