Which gcc4.6 release?
And more importantly, what gain were you able to register?

Isn't the new Linaro tool chain 4.7?

op says 4.6

No discernible performance difference, by feel or benchmark to my noob eye. Antutu'd at 6100 on the stock kernel/settings which is normal. Some graphical glitches when exiting apps. The standard ICS animation scales were slightly more tolerable than normal, or that could be wishful thinking.
A ton of Linaro related commits and a lot of work to do to make it all work I'm sure; hope to see them merged officially soon.

Used gcc 4.6 because I am building on 10.10 and 4.7 isn't available.

my point exactly. if it is linaro 4.6, both 4.6 and 4.7 are for download, you don't have to depend on the debian/ubuntu repository.

I would love to see rascream source built with the 4.7 toolchain, rascream is the business as it is!
Wasn't the 4.7 one the one that was used for the build in the video that was posted here a week or so ago?

I think OP used plain gcc 4.6 to compile. The whole point of linaro is an optimized toolchain. I really hope we see some real improvements with the linaro gcc.

I feel less stuttering when scrolling. And overall animations (or any movement) seems to be smoother. The most noticable for me is the smoother scrolling.
Seems less frames are dropped.
Good job

First thing I noticed that recreating dalvik cache was really fast compared to previously. Everything seems quick and chrome seems to be a bit faster. Still fairly clunky but Chrome has always been like that for me.

I am trying this build and finding it super smooth and quite fast.
The gallery opens really quickly and it seems the display is sharper and clearer

lol no offence but I can't think of a single reason why the display would be brighter or clearer.
Classic example of placebo.

I heard that GPS and camera were currently broken in Linaro, any confirmation?

for one.. im pretty confident all audio issues ive had with MIUI will now be fixed. i had very very similar issues with my og dinc and after flashing tmt's series those were all fixed.
also if im not mistaken..i believe smartass and oc have been optimized.
i mean im not 100% sure..its just what i remembered from my original encounter with it.
Could this be used on the Incredibly Debloated ROM?

Correct. It will not work as they have different ramdisk structures. That's why kernels are tagged AOSP or Sense. There have been a few exceptions in the past that have been compatible with both (I've only seen them for Inc 1 though). Also I believe this is a gingerbread only kernel.
backing up and throwing this on the cm7 nigthly... crosses fingers...
Interested to see if this fix's the Audio issue. Then it would get me to come back to MIUI and load this kernel..to many sound issues for me for now.
so far so good on cm7, haven't tried voice calls yet though to test volumes
clock choices are amazing.. must be 20 of them. ranging from 192mhz to 2035mhz. Don't think i'll be pushing my luck above 1300-1400mhz though

damn this must be pretty well known as a really good kernel.. i was using JDkernel and really happy but gonna have to check this out from a lot of your responses
just loaded this up made a test call.. the volume issue is fixed!!
this also fixed the crashing issue for miui music
I lied...just froze on me.
sent from an under rated phone
*edit* The call volume issue is indeed fixed
No issues so far, running it on OMFGB rom, froze setcpu so I could let the kernel at stock clock + the smartass governor do it's thing and see just how far I can squeeze the battery. So far I'm very impressed with this kernel.
If you're like me and have been endlessly flashing between CM7, MIUI, OMGB and OMFGB, Rmk's sense, etc and especially if you have tried other kernels, I'd highly recommend you wipe your battery stats after flashing this. I was a little worried after I first flashed it as I was draining pretty fast (not the fault of the kernel, just have to clean up after a shameless tweak like me gets a hold of something) but I wiped the stats and all systems are go now
One question I have is about the SBC feature mentioned on the FAQ on tiamat website. Is this included in this kernel and if so is it possible to turn it off somehow? I know its included for the Inc and evo - both probably because of the charging issue which the inc2 also has. So wondering if this was included for this kernel. Thanks again. Other than that its running nice and smooth. Hope to run it through the courses to see battery life differences if any
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk
OK, so I came from the droid 2, where we didn't have kernels. So noob question incoming.
Does the kernel itself have settings, or would I use setcpu?
If the settings are built in, how do I get to them/change them?
Sent from somewhere over the double rainbow.
Things like clock speed and governor can be controlled through setCPU or the built in performance settings of cyanogenmod. Undervolting is built into some kernels, but I don't think there's a tool for customizing voltages on the incredible 2 yet.

STYLE
What Is My Goal?
To be able to provide true nightlies of the most popular ROM's for the Toro, all built in what I like to call Linaro Style...
What In The World Does Linaro Style Mean?
Linaro Style simply means that I take the source of the ROM, and build it using the linaro toolchain.
What Is A Linaro?
Linaro Builds are optimized builds of the ROM that have increase stability and performance.
ROMS SCHEDULED TO BE BUILT:
Cyanogenmod 10
AOKP Jellybean
Bugless Beast
Code Name Android
That is the order in which they will be built every night, with Cyanogenmod being started at 12 AM EST (-4:00 GMT)
Each Build will be named in this order:
Code:
atc3030_linaro-(ROM ABBREVIATION)_(DATE BUILD WAS FINISHED).zip
ex. Cyanogenmod done at 1:01 AM on September 1st 2012 would be as follows:
Code:
atc3030_linaro-cm10_09012012_0101.zip
ALL BUILDS WILL BE UPLOADED AND HOSTED ON GOO.im
Also, each rom will be versioned. Meaning that the goo.im app will notify you when a new build is available.
If you find a build to be malfunctioning or not working properly, the fastest way to fix this is to email me @ [email protected] and I will tend to the matter when I can. But I will, as soon as I can, Stop that ROM from being built until I can fix it.
To find me on goo.im, go to devs>atc3030>linaro>(ROM)​Builds Will Commence At 12 AM EST on August 29th 2012. That is 8 Hours and 8 Minutes from this posting...​
Thanks Guys, atc3030
Lastly, I will never, ever put up a donation link as I personally feel greedy if I do that, HOWEVER, if you are so inclined to help me get through college, please PM me and I'll Tell you how to donate.​

A linaro build is a build using the linaro toolchain. The linaro toolchain is based on a newer version of GCC compiler, which I know its confusing. But the best I can explain it is linaro builds are faster and perform better than normal builds without needing to OC or do anything else.
So are you just compiling them with the new toolchain or are you doing anything else?
Linaro is basically a code optimizer. Its make everything smoother and perform faster. Its like a system cleaner for a PC. Allowing everything to perform easier with out kinks in the code. This kinda clarifies any issues with what linaro does.

I'm not trying to be that guy who tells people to not ask questions, but the OP made perfect sense. I highly recommend you do some research on what exactly Linaro is. After doing some Googling on Linaro, reread the OP and it will make perfect sense to you as well. By the way, Linaro is something you would want to know more about anyway if you are an Android enthusiast so get the real explanation and not just someone else's take on it. Here is a link to get you started:

I am also very interested to see how this project turns out and will certainly be checking back in.

We respectfully request that the Eos project not be included here. As I'm sure you will discover, the Linaro toolchain breaks all sorts of stuff, and we don't want our image tarnished when that occurs. The Linaro optimizations go far beyond simply using their toolchain. We are the only team I know of the has been able to fully harnass these optimizations. I challenge anyone to run an Antutu benchmark comparison against our build.

How to make my gnex faster?

I know the gnex is over a year old so it will be hard to keep up with new SOCs from S3, nexus 4....but I want to mod it so that it can keep up with the new SOCs. I am willing to give up battery life for speed. I am thinking over clock and custom ROM but I need recommendation on which one will provide what I needs. I want faster page load when browsing (I used dolphin browser), faster apps load like xda, Engadget...
What should I do?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
ditch dolphin browser for one, that browser is nothing but lag.
If you want faster browser, i recommand opera mini, fastest browser ive ever used, although i personally will just stick with chrome, its not the the fastest, but it definitly is the most convenient for me due to bookmark/recent sync.
as for rom, i personally recommand cm10.1 + ak kernel, its working extremely well for me the phone is very responsive, good batery life even.
Flash a Rom that uses the Linaro tool chain and get Seeder from the market.

Thanks. I will do more research on the suggested ROMs.
For browser, I really like the features that dolphin offer (speed dial, tabs like chrome desktop, sidebar bookmarks...). I may stick with dolphin for now despite it's FC very often

Liquidsmooth is a fast stable rom. Cant go wrong with ak kernel. Setting your governor to performance will also increase the speed and responsiveness of your device
ATOM is fast!
It's probably impossible that anyone has tried all the various ROMS that are available on the XDA Galaxy Nexus forums :laugh:, but I have tried quite a few.
For me the one ROM that sticks out as being 'super fluid, fast and smooth' has to be ATOM by PrimeDirective.
I was testing other JB421 ROMS since it wasn't updated for a while, but not that it has been recently updated to JB421 its once again back on my GNEX. I find it smooth enough not to warrant OCing it. I also stick with the stock kernel, but I guess if you want it to go faster you could go with some other kernel.
I have linked to the maguro version, but if you are on another version then find it in the other forums.
The phone is fast enough as is. Linaro is placebo and Seeder doesn't even help performance either so ditch that recommendation.
Custom kernel will be your best bet and stay stock odexed rooted if all you care for is performance and not customization.

If it was fast enough there wouldn't be a need for new FASTER CPU's.
Even if linaro was a placebo it would still make the device faster in the users mind which turns the placebo into reality

Completely wrong on both counts.
There will always be faster CPU's because there will always be new devices. It has nothing to do with "need" and everything to do with marketing. Even if less than 15% of the CPU was being taxed there'd be a new one with only 13% taxed just in time for next years models.
There is no "turns placebo into reality". The very definition of Placebo is:
Something of no intrinsic remedial value that is used to appease or reassure another.

Google updated Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.3 but with Old Kernel and no BLE Support

Galaxy Nexus on Android Running Android 4.3 runs Kernel 3.0.72 and Nexus 4 running Android 4.3 runs kernel 3.4.0 . Why so? First no Bluetooth Low Energy and now it's old kernel . One more problem, Galaxy Nexus running 4.3 don't shows Regulatory Info tab under Legal Info tab like Nexus4 WHY Google WHY ??

It's not an old kernel. Just not Linux 3.4.
You have the most recent kernel. Different phone, different linux version.
If you see actually Goog actually updated Gnex kernel, but not the N4 kernel. On 4.2.2 Gnex had 3.0.31, and N4 3.4.0, whereas we have 3.0.72 now, N4 is still on 3
4.0
I'd there the possibility that we could get BLE with an updated kernel from one of the 3rd party developers or kernel makers?

Would need to be 3.4+ on the kernel in order to take advantage of the BLE features. I don't think anyone has a stable version of 3.4 that works on the GNex. Dunno if google is gonna even bother, so unless a kernel developer creates a stable port, then probably out of luck.
That's really a pity. Having the hardware compatibility but no kernel.

Anarkia, the dev of AK Kernel, once got a 3.4 kernel fully functional on the GNEX, but unfortunately he left as he don't have his GNEX anymore, but this means that it IS possible that someone else make a 3.4 kernel.
If I remember it right Amperific was trying to make a 3.4 kernel for our gnex.

Why don't we start a petition to google with all Gnex owners signing to ask them for BLE support? Maybe with a little pressure...
I don't think we can pressure Google...
Maybe we can rope in some devs that can give it a shot though...
But what for? Porting 3.4 kernel to GN would take up so much time that most of us will already buy another phone so it's waste of developers time I guess

Actually, no, that's not true.
The BT chip supports BLE, it's the Kernel that doesn't. The fact that there are problems with Kernel Drivers for the TI CPU is another matter, but I'm sure that could have been resolved with some effort from google, I'm not an expert though...

Doesn't even look like something that should be called LP 5.2, more like 5.1.2.
There were more design changes from JB 4.1 to 4.2, then L to M.
LOL
Seems to me like Google is just releasing new version codes just for the media attention.

But I think that's okay. We (at least me!) wouldn't like major design changes every year. I'd like to settle in with the OS rather than seeing changes every year.
Would love to see a fully stable and performing 5.1.1 build before worrying about Android M.
/looks over at the FML thread and crosses fingers that a new build will post soon.

This is XDA and we want cutting edge. If you want stability go download a stock rom for your device.
Stable LP 5.1.1
We dont have stable lp roms ... i think we btr worry about stable lp roms rather than getting android M

Also looking forward to a toro build. Luckily, its not my daily, so it doesn't have to work all the way.
I'm really thrilled for the new features coming with Android M but I would seriously prefer having stable systems instead of bleeding edge features. If you take Ziyan's cm 12.1 as an example, it's still beta but is really stable on my phone, just having some minor issues here and there... That's something you can work with, but sometimes devs declare there roms stable, even if you look at big companies they do it sometimes too, that's just a shame. If I don't need my phone for my everyday life, e.g. on weekends, I try to test some of the bleeding edge stuff, that's a process that has been working out pretty good so far.
I want to keep my galaxy nexus for year . It will be amazamazing it can run the latest version of android. I'm sure that the xda galaxy nexus developers will do this.
Android M for Galaxy Nexus is here:
http://www.tech.infysim.org/2015/10/16/android-m-for-galaxy-nexus-android-marshmallow-6-0-zmod-rom/
This is not a stable build yet, so proceed with caution.
No toro M yet? I am impressed with the compassion on this device. I really think the GNex is a great little device!!
