[KERNEL] [TUNA] [3.0.80+] [4.2.x] [SKL v256 - KUBO r50^] [30/05] AK

[osm0sis]

I remeber no in the original r256 skl

K I'll repack with that zImage and see where it gets us.

Edit: Seems to resolve it? Shame since Linaro felt just that tiny bit snappier.

Uploading the pure AK r256 SKL hybrid now, then I'll toy with the thought of pimping the ramdisk for an osmod once I weed out which Dev Team tweaks I want to put in. One for the road, basically.

Mhh can't you send him a pm asking for this? I think, if I remember it right, he was very friendly in answering pms (I personally don't know what UV means? Undervolting?)

Yes, undervolting the screen can improve battery life dramatically, unfortunately you also run into weird issues like this when it's a bit too underpowered.

Unfortunately it's not really worth it. I was just making it compatible for the hell of it, and not as an actual alternative going forward since ramdisk changes can't fix things like that. Someone would need to resume work on the source and update it.

Hey guys, sorry for a bit more of topic but i'mi nterested in your opinions.
A few posts back i wrote that i ordered the new nexus.
Now i'm not sure if that was right.

Don't like the policy of google
1. to not update the gnex to 4.4 and
2. to update nexus devices only for a specific, short time.

I have to pay 400 Euro for the nexus 32 gb but can also pay 450 Euro for the g2 16 gb and don't mind the lower space...
Don't know would i should do now. What would you guys do?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the ot again.

N5 will get more development cuz it's a Nexus. .. g2 is gonna have real slow development due to the fact that not many ppl like LG and not many devs got it. If you want updates ASAP and many roms to flash then you made the right choice.. The only reason why I didn't get the g2 cuz I knew it would have bad dev, other than that it is a beast of a phone a d also has better battery life than my note 3 hahahaha. My recommendation has always been if you have the play store and can get the N5 for cheap get it, if not then get the note 3 or g2 or z1, cuz I can't justify paying 700+ for a nexus, thats the price in my country LOL, might as well tell someone to bring it from the US or UK

I've posted this elsewhere, but will repost it here. Already 4.4 is running on Galaxy Nexus. OK? So, Google's 18-month support policy is NOT a reason to avoid Nexus phones.

You are confusing 18 months "official" support with developer support. If you are running a custom kernel, then you are rooted. You are in the XDA forums. What's the problem?

This 18-month cut-off from Google was expected, but look at the 2010 gen2 Nexus S. The Nexus S got ROM updates from 3rd party developers long after official support from Google stopped mid-2012!

If you look in the Nexus S XDA forum you will see LOTS of 4.3 ROMs for the 2010 gen2 Nexus S (which is a year older than our phone). Those didn't come from Google, those came from XDA developers.

The gen3 Galaxy Nexus right now is exactly like the gen2 Nexus S last year. "Official" support discontinued, but support from XDA developers WILL CONTINUE -- with ROMs and compatible kernels.

And some 4.4 ROMs for Galaxy Nexus will be near-stock while others will be heavily customized -- with kernels and other mods available. Your choice.

I bought Nexus 5, but my wife is keeping her Galaxy Nexus a while longer. It's still a very good phone for her, and I expect she will be running 4.4 KitKat on her Galaxy Nexus just like me on my Nexus 5.

Yes, you're absolutely right and that's why i love xda and all the devs keeping almost all devices alive.

But you missed my point:
google says: by a nexus and be the first in line when updates are available. I'm talking about stock devices. But now that the new nexus is available they stop updating a two year old nexus that can easily run 4.4.
That's what i don't like: Buy the new nexus or stay at 4.3.
Don't know how many users running a stock nexus but if i had to guess i would say it's at least half of all user...not nice for those, isn't it?!

I think both of you are right: Google has pretty disappointed me but devs here are awesome!

About n5 it has better update (g2 official update will ends surely before n5 in time and in version and update arrive later) and better devs support here then g2... And absolutely better custom rom (devs don't have the code of g2 they have instead of the n5).
G2 has better camera and battery...

But I add a big questions about our gnex:
How deep are the changes in the code of 4.4?
Will be the 4.4 roms stable and completely working also without official drivers?
A read a post on the thread of a 4.4 rom where the user say the graphical glitches can't be solved without new drivers just for example... Seems true to me but I wait for a word from some dev.

Well, 4.4 has been out for like only 4 days. SlimROM team has already posted an "alpha" build, not even "beta". Give them a full week and then check back.

If you go here, you will see the amazing progress they have made in even the last 24 hours...

When they go "beta", watch out! Most of SlimROM's beta builds are more stable than other groups' "stable" builds.

Decision is made, hope to cu all again in nexus 5 forums
Thanks for your help :thumbup:

yeah but some users was pretty negative about that. Said that the great news is that TI has relased binaries for the gpu of our GNEX!!!

That all is absolutely true and I agree, but what other option do you have? Buy a Samsung and have it updated after 7 months? Buy an iPhone?

However long Google officially updates, Nexus is still the best option.

Have fun with your new beast, man! :'D

Change that to 1 month. Sammy is on top of their game when it comes to software updates now, we have had like 4 or 5 software updates already and I have only had the note 3 for about a month. I am guessing we should have 4.4 in about a month max, they are already testing it. Nexus is the best when it comes to AOSP and instant updates but other companies are trying to pull it together and release updates ASAP

Did I read that right? You're on a Note 3 now?! I am about to pick up a Note 3... I was hesitant due to not many folks devving it yet... Didn't you have the Nexus 5 before the Note 3?

Yup, also heard that the g2 is going to have kitkat in the very near future so samsung is indeed at first place updating their devices...and the Amoled display is a beast, miss it already...the grey lighted display in dark rooms that lg has feels a bit...cheaper and not as nice as a dark, black screen. But hopefully i will get used to it, soon :sly:

Nope. Bought the note 3 about a month ago. And who said anything about not many devs deving for it? The phones just been released, give it a month or 2 and alot more roms will show. We already got like 5 or 6 and 2 or 3 kernels.

Edit: Seems to resolve it? Shame since Linaro felt just that tiny bit snappier.

Uploading the pure AK r256 SKL hybrid now, then I'll toy with the thought of pimping the ramdisk for an osmod once I weed out which Dev Team tweaks I want to put in. One for the road, basically.

Edit 2: **** still getting the blanks. Did anarkia UV the panel or something?

Would you be able to make a KitKat version of this kernel, like you did for FK?

Thanks!

Nah the kernel itself is too broken, so I'm sorry to say but it's not worth spending my time on modifying the ramdisk anymore.
