[KERNEL][GPL][11 OCT - Milestone 6][r196-ICS r283-JB] franco.Kernel | 4.0/4.1 |

[franciscofranco]

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://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27515966&postcount=20011

Have fun.

I'll give it a whirl and report back with my findings. I have been reading some reviews on your kernels for the other phones and they have been all positive, looking forward to some great battery life.

what is the recommended governor for best battery? Should a screen off profile be necessary

Use the default. No, don't use profiles, they do more harm than good.

I got 2% drain for 10 hours last night! Pretty darn good if you ask me. I'm also running juice defender ultimate on aggressive setting to help out more. So far so good with this kernel thanks!

This looks promising. You ought to post this on rootzwiki as well.

 

[ro_explorer]

Guys .. please stop promoting other forums here ... please.
Who is interested in posting/reading in other places will do so. So, again, please stop promoting rootzwiki here.

Can I flash using CWM? I didn't see that anywhere. Must I wipe data or cache as well? I would love to test it out. Im looking for any battery life improvement I can get.

And did I read this only works with a 4.0.3 ROM?

Flash in recovery, yes, 4.0.3 only

I opened and closed the camera app and used CPU spy and the majority of the time it spent was deep sleep. Then I rebooted this morning and didn't open and close the camera app. And I got the same results, doesn't look like that bug is present on my phone at least. So far I am getting good battery life using this kernel and juice defender.

I'd like to see some evidence to back up this claim. Granted that now the newer governors give you a decent enough screen-off profile built in that THAT profile may not be so much worthwhile, but for things like overheating profiles are damn sure worth the "good".

I'm a little curious to why there isn't a kernel dev who has implemented smartassv2 yet. I used this with my Inc and battery life was very solid

 

[ghost_o]

My phone ran on nightly 7 for 3 days without needing charge. Go support this guy in the market if you agree that is incredible. That is the longest battery life I have ever had with any of my droid phones, and this is the most resource hungry of them yet.

Thanks Franco

There is one out there. Don't wanna promote another kernel in this thread though

 

[drtchocky]

So I am a total idiot... I rerooted and went back to stock. Flashed this but forgot that when I went back to stock I was in 4.0.2...


now my phone is stuck on boot screen... how do I get back to the old kernel. When I press volume down power up I get to ODIN Mode?

Matr1x has it lol always switching between these two

Press volume up, volume down, and power and hold them until you get the little wee android with an open tummy. That's fastboot mode. Here's a nifty little post about using fastboot mode to repush the stock everything on:

I've been asking on the GSM thread (originally where this was) to no avail, but now I'm simply shocked to see an LTE phone do that? WTF did you do to get such incredible battery life out of this phone? Were your radios on?

 

[drtchocky]

Just installed Axiom's ROM on Rootzwiki but when I went to the market it said your kernel is not compatible and wouldn't allow me a download.

 

[fallingd0wn]

Running well on GummyNex 0.3.8. Thanks

 

[marathonman0730]

Picked up from the market.....very nice!!!! Thank you for ur work!
