Looks awesome. If they incorporate it correctly, it will definitely be worth unlocking (if not done so already).

The changes are being added to CyanogenMod's Gerrit Code Review as we speak. Might take a while for them to be approved and merged though.
http://review.cyanogenmod.com
So far CM9 on the prime hasn't really bowled me over, that said, I would become incredibly interested if Gummy or Team EOS or AOKP bring linaro in (particularly Team EOS who's recent builds have been all but bulletproof). I think the kicker will be if CM can solve the niggles or if Team EOS can integrate linaro to their builds.
Nice find shreddintyres, will definatly be listening out for this
It's also being merged into AOSP, so it could wind up in an Asus build as well one day.
Wow, this is pretty awesome! Can't wait to see this implemented! Major performance increase, amazing!
Unfortunally this will result mostly in CPU improvements, but our CPU is constantly bottlenecked by the slow IO of the prime
However will flash this instantly when available

I was unaware that it was being merged into AOSP, that is amazing news, i was thinking why doesnt google hire some of these guys . From what I've discussed and read it seems that this will only affect devices with newer CPU's and as such should contribute a fairly large performance increase to the Prime.
latest news about linaro and its benchmarking tricks do not really sound so promising.

to be honest im not too concerned with bench marks, i was taling to some ppl who are using a linaro/aokp build on their GNexus's and they were saying the over all user experience (fluidty etc) is significantly improved.
Benchmarks arent the best test for the quality of a build, user experience is the key difference. I cant wait to get back to the us in august to get my nexus so i can try out all this latest and greatest stuff as it comes out rather than having to wait all the time.
I have been using it for a day now on my GNex and there is a large improvement in fluid-ness. I will be unlocking for this if released for the TFP.

do leave a review feedback of it too! thanks
the new update sucks too bad, thinking of unlocking my prime and switch to custom roms for good
does anyone know how this will effect battery life? will it make it better or worse?
Tried the gummy linaro release, cant say I noticed much difference to be honest... Back to androwook now but might give it a try again later on.
Also the fact that thegummy builds don't put the prime in sleep mode when closing the lid annoys me too much atm
ps. Only did an antutu bencmhark which was about 10% below stock-based results... But this is the case for me with all the AOSP/AOKP roms.

Theoretically it would improve battery life due to taking less CPU cycles to complete a specific task. However realistically I doubt the difference would be drastic enough that it would even improve it to the point of simply lowering your screen brightness 10%.

Gummy Livaro
I'm running the Gummy Linaro Release with TWRP recovery currently and it seems to be a huge improvement for me from AOKP. Everything just seems more fluid and snappy. Also, I kept getting random browser lockups and crashes before, under AKOP, and now all is gone. I should also mention that I performed all the exact same steps flashing each rom. I'm not sure if its the Linaro addons or what but I'm extremely happy so far.

You're not. The phones used in those videos had heavily optimized builds of Linaro. Just adding it to a build won't yield the same performance.

Back on March 2nd, I took the plunge and flashed CM7 on my rooted NT. Barring a few bugs that I could live with, everything works great!
Since then, Alpha Final came out, and I've been curious as to the difference people noticed between the two. I've read how the battery life is a little unstable (haven't really noticed that with alpha 12), and a few other things.
So, pardon me if this topic has been done already, but what are the benefits of upgrading from a version that already works for me? Does the wifi work better? Is the battery life---though unstable---still better under Final than it is under 12?
Thanks in advance, and kudos to the devs for an excellent ROM

Newer versions of alphas are usually going to be better...
With that being said Alpha final is much better. No more having to restart tablet because wifi won't connect and most importantly hardware video decoding. Cm 7.2 based.
Its overall better in ever single way however battery life is the same for me as it was on alpha 12

There's three main differences:
1. Hardware Video Acceleration - This is a HUGE one. In Alpha 12, HD videos wouldn't necessarily decode properly or quickly - they'd play jittery and pixel-y because of a lack of H/W Video decoding. The newest version fixes this for a lot of video formats. In my experience, it's been amazing, but as always, your mileage may vary.
2. Wi-Fi has actually been tweaked and improved, so it's a bit more stable.
3. Alpha Final is built from latest CM7 Sources - This is a big deal because it means that in theory it should be more stable and have a slightly more robust feature set. Most people won't notice a difference, but it still stands that the Final is using code that is far more up to date.
Battery life in my experience has been about the same, but I haven't had much time to test extensively since I'm busy with University coursework.
I highly recommend upgrading to the latest version though; without H/W video acceleration you'll notice a lot of annoyances and performance issues when playing videos.
Excellent! This is EXACTLY the info I was looking for. Thanks, guys

Ha, ha! I just posted a thread about this in the "General" sub forum. I'm running it on both my OG and N7, and I haven't tried any massive games yet on either, but I did notice a significant decrease in just general loading times for things like Facebook, Chrome and the stock launcher on my Nexus 7. Can't tell a difference on my OG, but then, I've never noticed any lag on it either. Maybe if someone could run a benchmark it might give us some additional info.
It makes no difference in Quadrant scores on the LGOG the scores with and without were the same.. I have two friends who are using it on the Nexus 7 that both claim speed increases, as for on my LGOG I have been running it for a couple days and can't really tell if it does anything or not.. This phone already doesn't lag.

I figured as much. The only reason I put it on my OG was because I'd already bought the app in the Play Store (support the devs :good, so figured I'd try it out. Due to the minor security concerns and possible battery issue, I'll probably just disable it until the day comes when I find my phone lagging. Hopfully waaaay in the future.
Looks like it's been debunked already..

Not quite. It's still being hotly debated. It's just that XDA is withdrawing their "seal of approval" until this gets settled. It might be placebo, but my Nexus 7 was loading apps noticably faster (in my mind anyway). I'll have to time the loading of some apps later to unscientifically compare. Might run some benchmarks too just for S&G.
Edit: As of right now, it seems that everyone has confirmed it DOES speed up the Nexus 7 and some other devices, but they're still trying to figure out exactly why it works: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265
Development Goals:
- stability
- energy savings due to more efficient algorithms (whether theoretical or not is unimportant)
- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)
- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...
- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)
- stability
Latest Kernel Here
20130625_10XX:
- updated with fix for more recent 4.1.2 Sense ROMs (should fix camera issue)
*unsure if this becomes incompatible with older 4.1.2 Sense ROMs though
20130602_07XX:
- NTFS support
- compiled using 4.8 linaro compiler
- improved workqueue queueing
- sleeper improvements
- responsiveness patches to the frequency controllers
20130531_09XX:
- fixed earpiece volume during calls
20130528_17XX:
- more optimizations (see GitHub)
20130527_18XX:
- more ARM implementations (see GitHub)
20130527_10XX:
- ARM implementations of kernel algorithms (see GitHub)
20130527_09XX:
- compiler optimization flags
20130526_22XX:
- initial version
- uses Linaro compiler
You can find my kernels at:

FAQ or something like that:
1.) Camera doesn't work!
- Try this fix from Golv here. This usually occurs on older ROMs.
*Latest 20130625_10XX version should solve this without flashing older camera libs.

Could you please expound on your statement that undervolting is relatively pointless?
From my experience, undervolting
1. Improves battery life because of lower wattage (Voltage * Amperage = Wattage). Even with a really bad binned CPU, it can still make a difference.
2. Cooler operation. This means longer component life - especially important as this phone is very difficult to repair. Battery is sandwiched so the cooler we can keep the device, the longer the battery will last. (Battery longevity practices could be a topic of it's own)
3. It's Fun! Haha. But seriously. I love to tinker. How low can you go??? It's fun seeing a 25% decrease in voltage and it still run stable
I really like your approach with the rest of your points though. We should have a stable kernel that doesn't have to be tuned or tweaked at all. This however, only suites the majority. The minority may want more. I'm currently in the process of making a kernel with as few restrictions as possible. Except that I will put a ceiling on the maximum voltage (1.25v for the cpu)) because I discourage overvolting beyond spec.
Anyway, thanks for the work. The One is Awesome!

Should have put a qualifier there huh? Anyways, it's pointless from a no tweaking perspective since undervolting may not work for some chips and could cause more trouble (random restarts and the like) than it's worth. It's fun for a tweaker (like when I did something like that for the N1) but not for someone who's the flash and forget type. :fingers-crossed:

If you are using a ROM based in 1.29.xxx.16 like the most of the new custom Roms flash just after the kernel.
Are the old camera libraries, that works with the Custom kernels.

Searched and I was surprised there was no main thread comparing and discussing the differences between Sense and AOSP roms like a lot of other device sub forums have. I've been running a Sense 5 rom since I got my DNA a few months ago but have been itching to switch to AOSP. However I have a few questions.
In my past experience with other devices, native ROMs (in this case Sense based) usually work a little better in terms of things like battery life, signal, and stability. Is this the same for the DNA?
Other things I'm concerned about
-Camera: IMO the Sense camera is way better than the AOSP. I can deal with the loss of software features, but is the picture quality still as good?
-Sound: Beats is mostly just an equalizer gimmick, but the DNA is loud and overall sounds great. I briefly ran an AOSP rom and the first thing I noticed was the sounds was distorted at high levels. I also found this thread which echos my problem. Is this still an issue?
I'd say in my opinion you are spot on with the sense vs aosp in the aspect of aosp issues! Just MY OPINION AND PERSONAL FINDINGS! I love Aosp but I do think it lacked some of the "stock, supposed to be there" kind of feeling I get with sense.. I have been running the CM 11 nightlies for quite a while now. I don't know about pic quality for sure. If there is a difference it's not noticeable to me. I do think I get better battery on sense but signal and stability are basically equal..
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk
I haven't run an AOSP rom since I first flashed NOS Google Play Edition. No matter how strong the temptation to try KitKat, the lower external speaker volume on the AOSP roms that I tried, combined with the inability to use Google Sound Search, Soundhound, or Shazam, ultimately made me stick with a rom using the Sense kernel. But, since I can't stand Sense, I'm sticking with GPE Roms, no matter how delayed they may be.

I've just been on CM11 today after only using sense 5. I can say I already miss blinkfeed, and can already assume the battery will be worse, but everything else seems the same. It's worth trying. I'm rather fond of the Google integration.

The battery is way better when the screen is off, but probably worse than sense when the screen is on. I don't usually have more than 2 and a half hours of screen time in a day, but I typically get about 18 hours of battery on crpalmer's cm11 kernel. Also as far as cameras go, I love camera jb+. Stock aosp camera with some extra features, my favorite being the 6mp setting because it gives me full screen 16:9 pictures. Focal is great too and shows a lot if potential, but it's really unstable.

The only problem I have with CM based roms is the low volume when recording videos. Otherwise no problems. Battery, signal, speaker volume, etc are are on par or better than Sense plus the snappiness and customizability are great. There may be a couple apps that don't work well with CM ROMs but I don't use those particular apps so it's not a problem for me.
I've been running Carbon 4.3 for the last two months. I have not tried a KK ROM since all the features have not been implemented yet.

I spent the first two-thirds of the year playing with alpha and beta ROMs, right now I'm just holding steady with the full-featured versions of 4.3. Plus there's nothing compelling about KK ROMs except for the fact it's new. It has ART but it's still too new and some devs suggest against using it for now.
In my experience sense obviously has a better camera and also better sound even with beats off and viper audio sense sound is just better.

1. The browser, which I use a lot, doesn't have text reflow, incognito mode, and working full screen mode (hide nav bar). I do not like other browsers.
2. The dialer sucks.
With the tweaks it doesn't seem much faster than 4.3.

Weird. Ive flashed back and forth between 4.3 and 4.4....4.4 feels way smoother

I don't care for smoothness, I want it to be responsive and fast. If I flick up or down I don't want a delay to make it feel smooth, I want it to instantly move fast. That's just me, I have all animations and various frills turned off. I replicated the same setup on 4.4 and it just wasn't the same.
Hi there little-biggie users
I would like to know some information from those who use the latest CM11 on Z Ultra.
Does everything work? I mean for example WiFi tethering ... because I read there have been problems.
Is it smooth enough? stock 4.4.4 is very smooth ... some people say 4.3 was better ... I know it is not important, but how much does it score in AnTuTu?
Is it worth moving from stock to CM? I had Xperia Neo before ... so I have experience with flashing etc. ... but I do not have much time now and just want to be sure.
Thank you for your answers :good:

I'm not using CM (I\m building Carbon for the community so use that) but tethering was fixed about a month or so ago. No AOSP/CM11 seems to score quite as high as Stock on antutu, but benchmarks aren't everything.
I will pick Aosp performance over CM anytime.

They keep improving thanks to ever-excellent dev work. I tried some benchmarks for the first time recently, and got almost 40,000 points on Antutu v5 with both Slim/CandyKat and LiquidSmooth (optimised CM11 kernel) with pretty stock settings. PAC-ROM scored a bit lower at ~35-36,000 with the standard CM11 kernel.
I personally find Sony ROMs the smoothest graphically, but the benefits of custom ROMs outweigh this for me.
Haven't tried stock, but using latest nightly (not that many commis have been merged since my was forked).
It's very nice. I can only compare it with cm on note 3, but this seems better. I have a small issue with the light sensor, but everything else world fine. Smooth. I'm using ART, and I've had 0 reboots or fc's compared to the other mentioned device.
I've heard that stock is nice, but for the latest and greatest you'll have to run a cm/aosp base? Hopefully we'll see the next Android iteration soon..
I just moved off stock to CM11.2 about a week ago and I'm liking it but there is something wonky with the dialer, when I make or receive a call if I hang up using the red bar it doesn't hang the call up. The red bar turns dark and the person is still on line.
Oh, got one other complaint, the camera is VERY VERY slow to come up, like 30-60 seconds sometimes. I've also seen it unable to connect.
Those are about my only complaint. It's way better than Sony and getting my Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, and Recovery back is worth it.

Only issue is the camera sometimes forced close .. other than that , battery life is awesome , smooth and fast. On top of this I flashed a OnePlusOne conversion kit and everything works. I like the screencast app. I like this new build.
Theme engines are awesome too...
for the camera see the fix in most of the custom ROM threads
bugs everywhere but not more or fewer than other roms
