Did you check out this link that EDNYLaw put up? http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=27355627

That looks like it's for GSM phones?

I wonder if some are not being patient. It can take up to 5 minutes sometimes to get past the Google logo after the flash

I haven't had it take more than a minute with any kernel I have ever flashed to get past the Google screen. With that said I waited at least 3 minutes before pulling the battery.

If the stock rom is 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 I believe you can. The benefits are numerous. The biggest for me is undervolting which significantly increases battery up-time! My phone easily lasts the whole day now with normal/moderate use.

I get way past a day with normal use without touching undervolting. Imo and prolly fact is that undervolting won't be a noticeable difference.

You can flash the kernel on stock rom as long as your rooted

My idle temps are down by a couple of degrees Celsius. It don't believe it has any performance advantages, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's useless.

It's not a comp I game on so temps make no difference either, as long as your phone isn't melting in your hand or burning through your pocket again imo is just fine.

I would say marginally useless. The initial few hundred mv that the voltage can be reduced helps, but those trying to squeeze that extra 25mv are only wasting their time.

Undervolting is useless

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Not true for me. When I undervolt I gain battery up-time. It might be useless in your setup but I gain a couple hours when I undervolt and I make no other changes to the kernel settings. I believe a lot of the battery savings comes when in the idle state AND undervolted. Before undervolting I would unplug my phone from the charger and by the time I got to work I would be down to 90-92%. Now, after undervolting, I get to work and I am still at 98%. Most of the time from when I wake up to the time I get to work is all idle (standby) time.

The numbers speak for themselves. How do u explain the increase in battery time. Is it coincidence? Why does Franco waste his time coding a placebo? Why do I gain time when I under volt?

I have a complaint. I flashed 185 and ocd to 1500 and now my phone is too damn fast! I don't know what to do.

Running 185 on Revolution HD and I actually got a GPS lock, in the middle of nowhere, so fast that it blew my mind.

    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.
