[KERNEL][NIGHTLY - 223-JB] franco.Kernel | Linaro Experimental Builds & Discussion

franco.Kernel - Linaro Builds

This is a thread solely for the discussion of the Linaro builds of franco.kernel. Franco gave his permission for this thread however he offers no support for any bugs experienced with these builds, please do not PM with his questions about this toolchain. Linaro builds are compiled with a high level of compiler optimization which can introduce glitches into the kernel, these builds are experimental. Feel free to discuss performance, post benchmarks and report bugs. I'll try to keep up with his nightly versions as he releases the source code and compile them with the Linaro toolchain.

Enjoy!

I've found a bug, what shall I do?
First of all, make sure this bug does not occur on the non-linaro Franco kernel. Second, make sure it's not caused by your rom, if you've flashed this kernel at the same time you flashed a linaro ROM, it's much more likely the issue is caused by a bug in the ROM.

If you're sure that the bug is definitely specific to the linaro franco kernels, post your logcat and kmsg (from /proc/last_kmsg - if you encounter a bug, reboot first in order to generate /proc/last_kmsg, then grab it and upload it), along with the name of the kernel .zip you flashed and ideally instructions on how to reproduce the bug.

Current Known Issues:

• None

READ THIS:

What's different about the *.5pcOC.* archives?
This kernel is built with a 5% static board overclock, as of r186 Franco's normal builds no longer use any static board overclock. Your phone may not be able to handle this, if you get stuck on the google logo flash back to another release without the overclock.

What's different about the *.10pcOC.* archives?
This kernel is built with a 10% static board overclock rather than a 5% static board overclock, give it a go if you want.

Builds 207 and onwards are Jelly Bean only

Thanks, will give it at try...

Great job thanks for this thread! Can you perhaps create builds without the 5% static board over clock doo daa so people like me who's nexus' don't like it will be able to boot?


Edit

Been using this a for a while now and I got to say to the performance is amazing and loving finally being able to use the newer builds

Yep, I'll compile them after I post the normal builds of each nightly.

Also trying. But my phone usually doesn't like 512 gpu....

Awsome just thought I'd check

I don't know if its tj fact that finally I'm on 185 or this linaro business (after not being able to go further than m4) but my nexus is flyyyyying now

Tried flashing this on my Galaxy Nexus CM9/Linaro build and both kernels never got past the Google boot screen. Flashed back the Milestone 4 kernel and everything is working again.

This is a known issue with certain phones that arises because they are unable to run the 5% static overclock, the *.doc.* zips in the OP don't include this and they should allow you to boot up as normal.

Awesome that did the trick. Thanks!

What gpu setting does this one run on?
