Franco.kernel Updater App - Autoflash Not Working - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I installed Franco's application from the Play store on my Galaxy Nexus, I was very intrigued to try the auto-flash option available, it will save a heap rather than downloading the latest zip and flashing it on CWM manually. To my surprise, auto-flash does not work at all, the progress bar seems tp reach 100% very quickly, and then just stay there. Any ideas?
I'm running bigxie's OTA 4.1.1 ROM.

Superuser?
I think that there is something related to the Superuser permissions. Does Franco.kernel Updater ask for Superuser when you open it? If not, I am almost sure that that's the problem.

Yes it immediately asks for SuperSU permissions once I open it, and I surely grant it them

Superuser?
I am sorry then, I don't know what it could be. Never happened to me...auto-flash always worked here. I guess we have to wait for more experienced users to figure out why it doesn't work for you.

Oh, I understand you. But I have one question... are you already running Franco kernel? Because from what I know, auto-flash works only if you are already running one of Franco's kernels.

Of course! I am running an older JB release however because the new ones have 1.8GHz as the OC limit, while I am blazing with 2036MHz, passing 15 minutes of Stability Test, perfectly stable at full load, and godly beastly :victory:

[Q] Couple of newbie questions :)

Phk said:
Greetings fellow Friends from Galaxy
I just moved myself from the HTC Magic section to this one.. It was quite a jump, the Galaxy S Camera and 4inch screen are AWESOME =)
I have a few noob questions that I don't want to spread through many posts, so i've chosen to get them all here, without polution this forum section. Also they might come in handy for future Galaxy S buyers!
My phone is: 2.1-update1 @ I9000XXJF5
Question #1
Well at first glance everyone's trying to fix the "LAG PROBLEM"... I haven't noticed any lag!! What are we talking about? If its a fix.. i want it too
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the lag problem does not accure instantly after startup, it takes a while to do so.
Question #2
The phone came with Android 2.1, but at samsung-firmwares.com and at this dev section of the forum, i saw the JP3 Froyo release. How stable is this? Is it already a daily driver or a total beta? As an Android lover, i'd love to have the latest
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this release is, lets say, alpha quality, however some do use it daily and seems to be stable so far, but the jit is broken, so dont expect it to be faster than eclair
Question #3
I've used the One Click rooting solution and then the ROM Manager Clockwork to boot into clockwork rom and make a full-system backup. In my HTC Magic i had the recovery ROM (Amon_RA) flashed into the internal phone memory, so even if i didn't have a ROM installed, i was ALWAYS able to boot into recovery. That was a safety plus. How can i flash the Clockwork Recovery directly to my phone, without the ROM Manager? I'd feel more secure if i could count on recovery even if, for example, i flashed a non-working system ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can run the clockwork recovery from original recovery by simply running it´s update.zip, this does in fact load the clockwork recovery into memory
Question #4
So what is YOUR favourite ROM? My stock has some unwanted apps, and even worse, it's Eclair. I'd like to switch soon, but i don't know these Galaxy S ROMs Tell me what's the best ROM for you!
Thanks guys, XDA is indeed the #1 place for mobile stuff

If JIT is broken, the rest of new 2.2 features can be achieved through Market tools... I'll stick to 2.1 then. By the way, where's a CLEAN 2.1 Rom? this one has lots of service-provider tools... They suck.

Now That's a fix! So i just have to keep my update.zip of Clockwork Rom in INTERNAL SD CARD so that anytime, anywhere, i just have to perform update.zip and the Clockwork will boot ONCE from RAM and them be cleared at next boot, right?

Give it a try, it clears out the stock rubbish and leaves it in a folder on ur sd card to install later if you need it.

CM6 9/12 and 9/13 result in reboot cycle

How come I'm running the 9/5 nightly and now when I want to flash the 9/12 or 9/13 nightly I am getting a reboot loop without it actually booting up. Luckily I have a nandroid backup because if I didn't I would be screwed. I'd like to update to a newer nightly but I have no way of doing it with these constant reboots. Can anyone suggest something to me? I've tried all the wipes before updating and nothing is helping. I'm running RA anon 1.7, no modified kernel or anything like that. Newest radio and newest PRI/PRL.
Again, as long as I restore my nandroid everything runs like cake but I do like to update my OS and this issue is bothering me.
Thanks!

i as you are, am experiencing the same issue. Now... out of curiosity can you flash the 9/6 nightly fine? that was the last nightly i could use that booted, everything else just bootsplash loops.

I haven't tried it but I would wager yes. It seems as though 9/6+ contains a new kernel that our phones don't like

I think it's a bigger issue than just being a nightly if the kernel is that crazy for EVERY nightly from 9/6+
No issues here with 9/11-9/13, other than my YouTube app when using v7.6 Turbo? Which I still need to figure out.
granted its something kernel related, using snap, i can then use the latest nightlies... only problem is, i dont want snap >_> i want cm kernel, oh well cant have it all am i rite? lol.
ill try again next week's nightly.

Damagecontrol dconfig tool

I've been trying different roms out recently and have been getting horrible battery performance, the only rom I use that gives me decent battery life is damageless damagecontrol rom. However, the dev hasn't been active for weeks, for what reasons I don't know.....but the rom has something I really like called dconfig, its basically a tool that lets you ban some apps and use a battery profile. Basically I want to know is there a way for me to incorporate this tool into another rom or is it just specific to that rom. If I can't is there another program like it
should be in q&a i think
and i don't think it can be done easily
I figured it be impossible
Damagecontrol is online now, try posting in the DC thread.

[Q] [PROBLEM] GNexus slow after installation whichever ROM unofficial.

Hi Guys,
it's the first time that I need your help with my galaxy nexus.
5 months ago I rooted my phone and I installeted a ROM( maybe Revolution ROM ) and my phone was fast and perfect.. without problem.
After 1month or 6weeks I had my first random reboot and began the lags, and i decided to install a paranoid ROM. Before to do the flash, I did a full wipe but my Phone was immediately slow while i was doing the configuration.
I thought that the rom was not stable and i decided to install another ROM but I had the same behavior... Phone slow and reboot everytime!
I decided to flash the custom google factory ROM by toolkit and to install again the recovery and try to flash another rom more "stable" like a CyanoGEN RC5. IN the first time was amazing! my phone was perfect, without lag and very fast, but after 4/5 days started the random reboot and lag!
the problem is that this problem emerge often but not always!
I tried to install 5 different rom, but I have always the same problem! after 4/5 days i have the same lag, delay and random reboot!
especially i have the problem with the original keyboard and swiftyFlow KB, often it's very slow...
normally I have 95/100 apps in my phone.
What can I do?
thanks a lot!!

Try Installing a rom of your choice, but don't download any apps (outside of the core GApps), or restore backups.
It may be to the fact that several apps are trying to sync data at the same time, or update through the Play Store. I know with some ROMs the scrolling its very jittery at first but once all the services connect and settle, its works fine.
I'm not sure if you've tried that, but let me know
ok, thanks!! tonight I am going to try!!
thank you!

How about flashing a new kernel? I only get this kind of lag on Paranoid Android when Halo is activated, using swiftkey is a nightmare, very slow to load, and other apps as well. Now I'm on Liquid Smooth 2.5 with Fancy Kernel and I'm very happy, not lag at all, it runs very fast even with the stock kernel.
Also, you should monitor your apps, may be one is running in the backgroung when you are not using it and it is sucking all your RAM.
Hope it helps!
Ak256 will speed things up a bit also lagfix is available from the play store also of you haven't already the transition speed to .5 in the developer options that also helps
sent from Atlantis
If nothing hepls, backup all your data, flash google stock image via fastboot, flash custom recovery and then try to flash any ROM you want. Also use a good ROM and kernel combination

Franco has been really good for me in the past, however to really gain the benefit you need a ROM that exposes the ability to adjust the CPU type/performance.

4.3 ROMs?

What ROMs are okay to flash if you have the Knox bootloader. Im so confused about this Knox thing. Ive read if it doesnt change your bootloader you will be fine and others saying i have to wait for a stok mk3 .tar (i do believe thats the right one) file to be available. one dev posted a rooted 4.3 rom and he said this wont mess with the bootloader. im just nervous dont want to brick my phone. someone please help and shed some light on this confusing situation
This should be Q and A section, and Cnexus posted a FAQ about this in general section....

and i think i read what he posted but im still confused its such vague answers. idk why people cant just say yes or no. instead of elongating there answers. I just want to know if there are ROMs that i can flash while on the obKNOXious bootloader

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: you can flash any rom you want.
Only one catch: do not EVER Odin a full stock tar with version < MK3 to your device or you will instantly brick.

The original ROM checks for "know" baseband versions to make sure you dont try flashing the ROM on the wrong device. I had to unpack the ROM, add support for the new baseband and then repack the ROM inorder to get it to install. I also change he kernel cmdline to set SELinux to permissive mode by default (like it was in 4.3). I will post the tweaked ROM shortly.
