something really strange, enter terminal emulator, enter su and exit aplication kernel panic every time, no overclock, min 122, max 600 performance governor, latest franco kernel and mik's 6.6 rom. This is the first kernel panic i ever got on any rom:D It's nothing major just thought i sude report it. Thanks for a great kernel franco, keep up the good work. ;)

It has been reported already but thanks for confirming. I'm sure this will be addressed in the next update.

Performance issues with the kernal

I facing several problems last few days and I don't know if it is rom problem, kernel problem or my problem :confused: The problem is, for example, opening apps it's really slow and so many FC/Wait... even slow while typing in the keyboard!! :(

Anyone else with this issue? Is just for discard the problem source...

Kernel 3AUG + Mik's 6.6

Had the same issues... app loaded very slowly,keyboard had a lot of lag while typing even when all the auto suggestion in keyboard were off, WiFi tethering was not working at all .... I did clean the cache and fixed the permissions but after some time same probs so had the install another kernal now every thing running fine.... Kindly fix these issues ...

You didn't give me any type of information you just said "after some time same probs". I can't "kindly fix these issues" without any valuable information.

I will try my best to describe. The problem for me is when the phone first starts up, the phone is running fine and working great. Bit after around some time of use (usually 30 mins or so) until the battery status not showing the battery by exact, then apps are becoming slow and not responding. To solve all this, i can simply restart my phone and everything is fine again for certain period of time.

P.s. i am right now using mik 6.6 rom with your latest kernal. The apps i found that open so slow are especially the apps that need data connection, such as xda and facebook while before were running fine.

Ok thanks. Let's see what I can do in the next days to fix the bugs and make the kernel as stable as possible, I think users prefer stability over raw performance+small bugs, and that's what I'm going to deliever.

Thank you very much francisco. You are awesome ;)

Oh by the way, one more thing realise of this issue problem, it also leads to the phone which cannot detect if the earphone is plugged in or not. Can someone else confirm? Bcoz this can also b solved afta restarting.

All my headphones and external speakers were running fine on this kernal .. might be some issue with the headphone out port of your phone.

Template

Franco, a suggestion:

I think it is better for you to include in your first post a template for others to provide feedback/bug report/whatever.

Something like:

Kernel Version:
ROM Version:
CPU Frequency & Governor:
A2SD version used, if any:
Baseband (including any fix, if used):

If there are any complaints about the battery, how about posting screenshots of the battery info, with the graph included. For a more in-depth analysis, a log from the betterbatterystats. That tool is amazing, particularly the wakelock analysis.

I guess this would allow you to debug more easily and disregard stupid comments. I would suggest you not to reply to stupid annoying comments here and let us(non-devs) resolve those. Ignoring them completely would also work, as they would at least have the sense to search. They must understand that we don't get paid to help them and we do it to just share knowledge.

I'm not Franco, but this is my opinion: I think you should test it for awhile since it's running well on your phone. So you could post some reports like battery usage, bugs (if any) etc.
Of course he says on first post that it's not meant to be flashed on Mik's 6.5.x (or lesser), but as you did and your phone is working fine...
Development area is all about tests :)

Hey franco, quick question... would 2 .35 kernels be too much to cover? I ask because I don't mind a bug or two for more performance and battery life for me on this kernel has been fantastic.

I guess I am asking if you could keep working on a performance tweaked kernel as well as battery tweaked kernel?

Feel free to shoot me down :D. Just a thought, I appreciate all the past a future work.

    Following the popular franco.Kernel series I present you the new .35 tree based kernel for the 2.3.3 from LG and for the CM testing releases from mik.

    (Because people keep flashing this **** with the wrong roms and come here crying "HALP" enjoy the big letter warning)
    This kernel is not for 2.2 roms and I will laugh at you if you flash it together with 2.2. Not either will it work on miks 6.5.8 nor void forever...

    franco.Kernel facebook group page: https://www.facebook.com/franco.Kernel

    Features & Changelog
    underline.png

    #4
    * Added 652, 672, 691, 710 cpu frequencies
    * Doubled busses frequencies - system will go faster but you'll possible lose some overclocking capabilities. Busses frequency OC > cpu OC.
    * Added and tweaked Simple IO scheduler as it proved to be the fastest one for this device
    * Added tun.ko and cifs.ko
    * Added camera flicker bug fix
    * Cleaned up some more debug ****
    * One or two small tweaks

    #3
    * Completely rebased kernel
    * No more blackscreen
    * Based on CM's source
    * All the tweaks and ****s you've been known about from me
    * Franco magic?
    * POWER
    * BATTERY
    * Well...I'll write a more detailed post later, too busy at the moment =)

    08122011
    - Touchscreen driver improved
    - Same changes as the 27/11 release but now with wifi working


    27112011
    - Major speed up because fsyncs are not disabled
    - SLUB memory allocator tweaked and made default
    - Wifi Tethering fix attempt
    - One or two other small tweaks and optimizations
    - This release is labeled as a testing version


    22112011
    - Bye vsync toggle, it's not possible to change vsync without a kernel recompile
    - Blackscreen bug fix attempt
    - Touchscreen drivers optimized with the axis inversion workaround - changes by paolo, fserve, and me

    12112011
    - Vsync on/off toggle added. This is what I need be checked, I don't know if it's working: run this command via terminal or init.d script
    Code:
    echo "0" > /sys/module/mddi_hitachi_hvga/parameters/vsync_on

    Echoing 0 it will disable vsync, echoing 1 will enable it.

    - FSB/BUS overclock is lower, it will lower benchmarks a bit, but you won't notice any difference during normal usage and it will increase stability
    - Obviously all the changes from the latest testing version are included
    - This release is labeled as a testing version

    19092011

    01082011
    This is a complete re-written kernel from scratch featuring all the performance and battery patches from the last version plus a lot of new code.
    The changes are all in my github so I don't need to list them here. I need you guys to test the kernel and tell me what is working and what is not working, which bugs do you find, if the performance is good, if battery is good etc etc. I don't want posts like "BLUETOOH HANDS FREE DOESN'T WORK FIX PLX" or "WAHT IS THE BAST GOVERNOR AND OC HALP PLOX" I want informative posts about your conclusions, if it kernel paniced what is your environment, your OC, your governor... stupid and non helpful posts will be ignored. If you want a good kernel, do you job as an user and help me too.

    alert.png
    Take note of this, I don't care nor will pay attention if you say you're having battery drain if: you flashed the kernel sooner than 24hours of your complain post, if you didn't wipe your cache partition before or after flashing it, or if you didn't wipe your battery stats. If any of these three conditions are met at the time of your posting I will simply ignore it.

    People remember this is a pre-release, it's a gift for you all to test and play in the next days while I make it better, faster, more stable and the likes. Now I'll retire for a nice beach day after a hard nights work ;)

    Ok, I decided to give another whirl to this kernel and seeing the amount of users still using this device I own you guys something. I will also drop a app for a symbolic price of 1,46€ that will feature kernel settings and kernel updater - which you will be able to buy via Google Market to support me.

    This is simple: I forgot tun.ko so its coming on #4. More intermediate frequencies coming on #4. Having night drain? Im sorry its your rom/app/whatever my device slept for 13h straight and lost 4%. Reboots? Dont overclock that much. Device is singing kumbaya in the rain? Your're drunk.
