The short story ...
This is, for all intents and purposes, Franco Kernel. However, I have worked to cherry-pick commits
from the nightlies branch and apply them to the staging branch. I feel some great commits were lost
in the rebase and since I can't find the specific commits that make it great, I decided to just
carry on, adding commits from the nightlies branch to staging.
The long story ...
On March 19, 2014 Francisco Franco decided to rebase his kernel which is currently the nightlies
branch. To my understanding the reason was that users were complaining of various bugs, glitches,
etc. He had applied many CAF commits and was unable to determine where things were going wrong.
He was faced with a decision, find the problem or rebase? He chose to rebase. Since then, the
kernel has continued to get better and better!
"Then why are you using the staging branch?" you might be asking. Well, I was never plagued by
the problems other complained about and was really happy with r35. In fact, there is a little
nugget of gold with great value to me, hiding away in this branch! Let me explain.
On r35, when playing audio through PowerAmp, the CPU stays steady at 300mhz. Also, the way the
kernel selects which speed to run at seems to be more consistent. Apps, such as audio/video players,
seem to maintain a steady speed. Since r36 this has not been the case, audio/media players will
ramp up to 1GHz+ for no apparent reason. I was able to isolate one commit that as been applied to
the nightlies branch but the ramping up still continues.
This brings me to the nugget of gold! I have been able to determine there are about 1100 commits in
the staging branch that have not made it into the nightlies branch. The odds of finding the one or
two commits that reduce the ramping up are pretty slim. Believe me, I have tried.
Therefore, I have decided to re-animate the staging branch and work to bring commits from nightlies.
What is different?
The biggest difference is it is based on the "staging" branch
I've added 96Mhz, 192Mhz and 249Mhz CPU speeds.
Compiled with Linaro 4.8 (2014.03)
There will be no test builds, only releases that coincide with Franco Kernel.
The version will have a trailing a, b, c, etc. Each letter represents a build that has had past commits merged within that release. For example, the current version is r55a. Presently, there are about 120 commits from nightlies that I have to go through. If I merge some old commits before r56, the kernel will be released as r55b, r55c, etc.
What is the same?
many hundreds of commmits from the “nightlies” branch
initramfs files
Default FKU settings (see Notes)
Notes...
1. The FKU settings I change on my device are as follows... updated 06/30/2014
1a. If you are using a build named Re-animator-t** I suggest only changing the Minimum Frequency to 96000 and let me know how battery life is.
Minimum CPU frequency 96MHz
go_highspeed_load 95
highspeed_freq 192000
input_boost_freq 1036800
sync_freq 96000
target_loads 85 96000:90 192000:95 300000:98 600000:99
up_threshold_any_cpu_freq 300000
cpufreq_unplug_limit 1800000
2. For a long time I used PowerAmp, however I have recently switched to Rocket Music Player. Which you use is up to you but I believe RMP has a slightly less demanding UI.
3. At one point I suggested using Powersave governor to maximize battery. However, I think it does more harm than good, and has been removed.
4. I accept "Thanks" as payment.
5. Any monetary donations should be sent to Francisco Franco.

As I said in the OP, for all intents and purposes, this is Francisco Franco's Kernel. The difference is that it is not rebased. This is the staging branch of his git with most commits from his nightlies branch applied to it.

It will definitely get better battery life in some situations, specifically audio, which is what I use my device mainly for. For example, last night, on airplane mode, min cpu at 96mhz and governor set to powersave, I lost only 13% battery after 7.5 hrs of audio playback.
and does this work on mahdi rom ?

If a rom works with Franco's Kernel, then it should most likely work with this one.

Been using it for a solid few hours now and it's running great!
I'm getting issues though when I restore your preferences xml in FKU. It restores and reboots me to fastboot mode no matter what I do. I've rebooted multiple times to no avail and I've even started over by reflashing my ROM, then the kernel, then re-imported the settings again and the same thing. Any reason that might happen? I've wiped all previous settings in FKU previous to doing that. Not a big deal, just trying to get some good new settings to try from someone who knows what these numbers mean.

To use the settings xml, you'll need to be rooted. Copy the file to /data/data/com.franco.kernel/shared_prefs/ then make sure the permissions are 0660.
NOTE!! I've removed the link to the xml. I realized I had also modified the voltages. I'm so sorry. See the OP for the changes you need to make. Again, really sorry about that.

Overnight, I lost a single percent of battery. I've got 'keep wifi-on during sleep' set to never, which I'm sure helps, but even still I can't recall a time recently where my battery did so well overnight!

hey guys, quick question?? ive been running thtrough jellybean roms but theyre all buggy in their own ways.. i was wondering if theres a particular jelly ROM thats stable enough to use everyday? som give me "com.process.yadayada.com" errors and in some i cant get back out of fullscreen videos viewed through the browser?? lol i just really want a chill stable version of jelly.. could be 4.1.1 for all i care i just want it to function like a phone is supposed to.. and believe me i tried everything.. wiping cache/dalvik/factory, fixing permissions, reflashing the roms and nothing?? maybe im not doing something right? thanks in advance everyone.
All JB roms are going to have some bugs. The code for the note has not been officially released from Samsung. Just something you have to deal with and probably why no one has answered your question.
If you want my opinion try Jamie's latest and greatest CM 10.1 build. It's under the Android development thread. For me it has been the most stable.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I haven't found a bug on Jamie's yet
You may want to try different governor and schedulers. Some are more stable then others and different ones work best for different phones. For my phone ondemand/sio is the best setup.
JamieD's UNOFFICIAL CM 10.1 preview 4 is very stable is based on the latest 4.2.2 and can be tweaked in many wonderful ways to work how u want it... I would trust ANY of his ROMs ... If u want 4.1.2 get his PA ROM from official development. If u want all of the latest features and also like updates then go for 10.1

Just to be the Devil's Advocate here, I actually had quite the opposite results. When I first started flashing and learning more and more, I got super into running different scripts and experimenting with different governors and schedulers...i think just based on the intrigue of having the capability itself, as well as seeing all of these posters on here saying how smooth and solid their phones were after running ________ governor at these super high over clocked speeds.
But no matter what combo i tried, I would always either LOSE UI speed, start overheating at the first sign of additional processing, drain battery like it's going out of style, or a combination of all three.
So I finally just gave up and started being patient every time I flashed a new ROM, just sticking it out for a few days on the stock setup...and sure enough, I've never been happier - UI smoothness, processing speed, battery temp, and battery life in general have never been better and more consistent for me since I "wizened up". Now keep in mind, this (like every ROM, kernel, etc) is rarely ever going to be exactly the same for anyone else - I have no doubt that your setups are working great for you - so take it with a grain of salt of course. Just wanted to provide my two cents!
So which Jellybean Rom can use the TETHERING & PORTABLE HOTSPOT. I installed the CM10.1 preview 5 last night. But the tethering funtion is not working too. Even I turn on the tethering but I can't see from another device. Please advice.

i dont think that protable hotspot works on any CM10.1 rom. i also have P5 and and also P1, P2,etc....usb tethering is the only way that it works.
i also tried apps like FoxFi and WiTether and they dont work on this.
but i read in this thread, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082057 ), that running it without a password lets it work. i have not confirmed this yet.

Big supporter of Faux. Bought the app waaayyy back when it was released, even before the Note 2 was supported and been using the kernel on all my phones every since my first Android (and his too I believe), the MyTouch4g. One of my favorite phones ever btw.
Anyway, stories aside, I finally got this thing to mount an sd card on boot. Had to go back to my 32gb san disk. Guess I'll drop out my 64gb since I swear by Faux's kernels. Every thing is smooth as butter so far. Running ondemand and gonna let this baby settle and see how long the battery can last. I think I saw on Twitter someone said they got 7 hrs screen on time.
Btw, faux... does this support you faux sound yet? If not, will be putting in support for it eventually?
It supports boeffla sound which is pretty good. Bought the all too myself. Best way to donate.

I would like to bless the LG-E970 users with a kernel for your device. This kernel has many enhancements.
Read Carefully
I am in no way shape or form responsible for bricking your device. You're flashing this product at your own will. If you point your finger and try to blame me I will laugh and enjoy my beer.
Requirements
JSS for CM10.2, Carbon, Beanstalk, Slimbean, AOSP on geeb_att_us
JWR for PA, Rasebean
If unsure what version or 4.3 your favorite rom ask the dev or look in about phone. If you flashed a kernel and experience any screen tearing then try the other kernel before posting about the tearing. I will try to keep up with all the roms. If you come across a rom not posted above and you found out what kernel works for that rom and let me know so i can add it to the list.

Guess maybe it's time I gave Carbon a shot. I'm not too much a fan of slimmed down ROMs, I like my software a little more full-figured, so that might get the job done!

Go ahead n try it. There's going to be tearing. The tearing is due to the GPU difference with jss n jwr. Tux is using dvhexer cm10.2 as a base for beanstalk. With this assumption there using jwr
looking at dvhexers source cm10.2 is jwr. take aloof for your self

I don't mean to offend you or correct you, but cm10.2 is using the 4.3r2.1 branch which is jss. I've compiled it and it states its jss at the start of the build. It also says cm10.2 is jss in the article you have linked in the 2nd post.

Introducing codefireXperiment for your device! This OP is going to stay slim and bloat free, just like codefireXperiment. No marketing buzzwords either. We take such confidence in the speed and performance of this distribution, we challenge you to find a faster and more stable one!
Warning: we only support anykernel methods of custom kernel installation.
Here's a bit of info you may want on this project for how we do things differently:
CLICK HERE to find out more about the new team working on this project since our TeamEOS merger.
No features you don't need which slow the device down, or put your data at risk of being stolen. If you want to give it away, it should be your decision.
A fast and clean install with no UX decisions made for you. You make the ROM whatever you would like.
A team constantly exploring totally new feature sets and optimizations geared toward you, the user
We utilize a plethora of optimizations in a build system unlike any other:
Each build has a toolchain built for your device at the time of build. No more generic toolchain android builds.
Consistently updated upstream toolchain module source with our custom backports, fixes, and optimizations applied in a patch at build time.
Fully built utilizing Link Time Optimization (another custom ROM first). Feel free to google this one a bit to get an idea of the performance gain.
Many repositories have code fixes, cleanups, and many minor optimizations which are too generous to even speak of here.
Optimizations are toggled on and off based on device for the best experience we can acheive for your device without sacrificing any stability
Many Qcom optimizations and AOSP master (upstream) optimizations and fixes using device specifications to determine usage.
Fully built utilizing strict aliasing and isognu++11 mode.
Full "-O3" build. To those who don't know, this is the highest "optimization level" available in gcc that sets many other flags.

Thanks to the CM team for all thier work on this family of devices, especiallly h8rift for his work on evita for all of us to enjoy.
Also thanks to my beta testers for experimenting with me.
DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for any damages caused to your device by flashing this ROM. Your warranty is now void.
By proceeding you accept the risks involved with flashing ROMS. While I test everything on my own device, I cannot garauntee yours will not explode into kittens and rainbows.
KNOWN ISSUES:
ROOT ACCESS : On-going disscusion within the team but as of right now root is not available to userspace. Root currently works over adb only. Flash the superSU.zip and carry on if you need root access for apps like TiBu or root file explorers. Otherwise you really don't need it
BOOT ANIMATION : i'ts just full of struggle, it's an old animation made for smaller screens. It freezes and goes blank screen on first boot. Don't be alarmed, it'll be OK. New custom boot ani is being designed now by a fellow team member
BROWSER : Ocassional FC on embedded browser streaming video. You tube and links that open a video player are fine, just embedded video.
ROM is still under construction so i'm sure more will surface but this should be more than ready to be a daily driver.
mine too
Sounds sweet man. Another aosp ROM to check out.

Features? Its more of concept than anything. Most ROM came from CMs base or AOKP's base and modify/customize into something else. This ROM is based/kept current directly off of googles AOSP master branch. There are some things pulled from CM/aokp for hardware compatibility and what not but the soul of the ROM is strict AOSP. After that its tweaked and optimized to make it as smooth, fast, and efficient as possible.
Simply put this is closest thing to pure AOSP brought to other devices besides the Nexus line.
You won't find all the built in mods and custom colors and what not. This is clean simple fast AOSP. As vanilla as possible.

Some peoples Antutu increased by 3k. Anyone willing to try it out? Can these libs be merged into ROM builds?
Here is the link to the separate bionic and dalvik libraries, instead of the original file which contains both. This link also contains a very nice FAQ.
Also, the new files were modded so it works on CM!

More info. According to this it should work on any rooted android. Maybe because it's 4.4 related we need the latest tarp or clockwork to successfully flash it
http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/11/optimized-dalvik-libraries-improve-nexus-benchmark-scores/
Qualcomm optimized Dalvik libraries boost benchmark scores of Nexus devices
By Rajesh Pandey 7 hours ago.
Google is all set to replace Dalvik with ART (Android Run Time) in the next version of Android. Whatever lag issues that are present in Android currently can be blamed on the use of Dalvik, which compiles app when they are launched compared to ART pre-compiling apps. Comparisons between ART and Dalvik have shown that the former provides much superior performance in apps including lower load times and smoother animations etc.*
Android SoC vendors like Qualcomm have constantly used some proprietary tweaks to speed up Dalvik runtime on their SoCs, which have helped increase scores in benchmarks dramatically. However, since these optimizations are proprietary (closed source), they are not included in the Nexus devices and cannot be used by developers in custom ROMs, because of variations of OEM skins from stock Android. The lack of Dalvik optimizations is also the key reason why the Nexus devices always scored lower in benchmarks compared to offerings from other OEMs.
However, thanks to the Android 4.4 update for the Moto X, Nexus owners can now also enjoy the goodness of these closed source Dalvik optimizations. A senior XDA member, kszaq, has extracted the Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik libraries from the Moto X KitKat update, and repacked it into a CWM flashable ZIP file for Nexus devices.
Initial reports show that post the installation of the optimized Dalvik libraries, the benchmark scores of the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 jumps up by a pretty huge margin. The improvements in day to day usage, at least on my Nexus 5, are tough to say. The optimized Dalvik libraries should work on any rooted Android device, that is powered by Qualcomm’s Krait processor. Head over to this XDA thread for the download link.

Woah... I'm gonna have to try this later. Maybe this will keep me from having to switch back and forth between gpe and aosp.
Sent from my Droid DNA using Tapatalk Pro
I was being adventurous because the libraries are for 4.4 but I'm on Carbon 4.3. Kept my fingers crossed after flashing and it stopped at the boot animation. I restored my nandroid and I'm back to normal.
Edit: I quoted an article in the op saying it should work. Will try again later.
Edit 2: tried with latest twrp, still hung at boot animation. I don't feel like trying clockwork, maybe someone else can.
Oops, I didn't realize it was for 4.4. I was about to flash it on carbon too.

That's unfortunate I hope we can get this working somehow... From what I'm reading it's an actual performance increase and not just for benchmarks. Maybe because how difficult it was to get our device working it's just not compatible?
Also I don't know if cm11 is deodexed or not but I would assume it is... You're using dalvik and not ART right?
Perhaps I'll flash a Kit Kat ROM this weekend, a different one that's closer to stock aosp and see if out works. I think everyone that's been using it has been on stock deodexed Kit Kat.
Edit: BTW if you have issues you shouldn't need to restore the whole ROM, just either restore the system partition or wipe system and reinstall the ROM.

It appears it doesn't work with the CM11 Nightlies. It's supposed to be for deodexed roms.
Edit:
These libs appear to for Qualcomm Krait processors, which the DNA has. In theory devs should be able to get these libs to work.
The Nexus5 guys love it, dramatic increases in benchmarks and noticeable performance increase.
They have tested it on odexed and deodexed ROMs and confirmed it works. Some guys successfully ran it on beergang and cataclysm ROMs.

Okay, I just tested this on Gummy 4.4 and it worked like a charm. For what it's worth, I was using the latest CWM, not TWRP. I also didn't clear dalvik or anything afterwards. Here are the results...
Quadrant Stock:
View attachment 2411154
Quadrant w/ Moto X Dalvik Libs:
View attachment 2411155
As a reference point, engadget's quadrant score was 8,028 when they first reviewed the DNA.
I did wait a little while for the phone to cool off between benchmarks. Sorry, I didn't get a chance to do Antutu or any other tests.
More important than benchmarks, though, is how the phone actually performs. I'm not ready to commit to a kit kat rom just yet, so I didn't use it for too long, but I can say from what little testing I did that it definitely felt much smoother during opening/closing apps compared to stock 4.4. I also tested True Skate (pretty much the only game I play as of lately, if you haven't played it you really need to), which is basically unplayable on AOSP ROMs on anything except the lowest settings, although it works pretty well on medium and high settings on Sense and GPE ROMs. The game is now playable on high settings.
So basically, as I had hoped, this mod is more than just a benchmark booster or a placebo effect, it actually puts my DNA's performance back up to par with Sense ROMs.
Unless I messed something up I just tried applying this update to CM 11.0 4.4 via CWM and got FCs upon bootup. Had to revert to my backup, gonna try Gummy next.

Yea I did some reading and saw it has to be an AOSP ROM which Gummy is. I'll give it a shot tomorrow, I just finally got CM11 set up and customized how I want. I'll update once I try it out, if only Gummy didn't have camera and data issues I'd be more motivated to do it now.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure vanir and beanstalk should both work, they're both aosp based. I just picked gummy because I know it's very very close to aosp. I just wish I knew what it is about cm that makes it not compatible, because that means there will be other Roms that will have the same problem.
Sent from my Droid DNA using Tapatalk Pro
Interestingly, it appeared to have no affect for me on Gummy ROM. Tried with stock kernel, CRPalmer's kernel, modified settings, etc. Nothing seemed to make a difference. It's the same score on ART on CM11 or dalvic on CM11/10.2/10.1. Still nowhere near the 10k quadrant I was able to get on stock ROM.
I haven't noticed any change in the speed in using apps either.
I guess it's a YMMV type of thing then. The only time I was ever able to get a 10k quadrant was with [email protected] on Sense 5.

Yeah. I'm not sure why it didn't seem to make any difference for me. Almost like it wasn't really flashing appropriately (even though I attempted many times including reflashing the ROM and the mod multiple times). And, you're right I guess it was with beastmode overclocked that I got 10k. But, currently with AOSP 4.4/4/3 and CM 11/10.2 I get anywhere between 3k's to 4k. Once, got it up to 5k during a random quadrant score testing but that was it. I'm curious though to now how/if other's are able to get it functioning what their procedures and settings are.
