I see a few kernels 4 cm based roms, but I'd like to keep the stock rom. I am willing to install a new kernel to make it work; does anybody know of a kernel that will allow for display calibration so that I can increase the saturation?

I've always wished they would include this option in stock Android. I come from a home theater background and wish I could calibrate my screens on my mobile devices. The closest thing I've seen is Cinema mode on the newer galaxies.

I know ElementalX and francos kernel, as well as fauxs allow for adjustment, of course you are limited to whatever the app you use can do, for that you can use faux123 KEP, or something a little more advanced such as Voodoo.

Just curious since I haven't been able to find anything other than no led and some other lame aps.
Thx!
I don't think the rom has anything to do with it. Its kernel related. Just flash any kernel that mentions BLN (back light notification) and you should be good to go. I think just about every kernel we have except one supports BLN. Right now I am using the Synergy kernel and its working great for me.

I am using kernel bullet v1.8b which does support bln but I can't figure out how to turn it on. It's not in any settings I can find so if I miss a text the phone just goes black.
You need bln control app in the market place.

Hi,
Having been on JB for the last week and having tried many JB kernels (Trinity, Franco), they just don't seem to match the performance (and battery) of the stock kernel currently.
However, I absolutely need the color control features that come with these 3rd party kernels as my stock GN has a terrible yellow tint to it.
What I would like is if I could stay on the stock kernel while being able to alter my screen colors. I've tried to use the experimental Voodoo app that was test released a few months ago but it didn't seem to work.
Does anyone know of an app or something I could flash that can allow me to alter my colors on the stock kernel?
Any help would be appreciated.
Nope not possible . These files are apart of the custom kernels... and only the kernel has the ability to tweak the absolute color values. So the only way to get the color control is to flash back.

So, it wouldn't be possible to (theoretically) modify the stock kernel to just include said color tweaks, and nothing more?

Probably but I'm no kernel Dev and cant say for sure. I'd say Its possible.

Man would I love that.
Another annoyance with 3rd party kernels is that they slow down after a period of time and requires a reboot to speed it up again. So far, I'm back on the stock kernel and it's still flying after heavy use.

Everything slows down after a long period of not rebooting. Cache builds and the system needs a restart.

Less so with the stock kernel from my experiences. I have no issues with restarting my phone once in a while but doing it every few hours gets exhausting.

Few hours? No days yes... I've never had a kernel slow down within hours. That would be yours apps building cache... the kernel... ironically is what empties it.

Hey, I have a Glide running INC3PETION v1 and using the latest ardatdat kernel, and I was wondering if there is any way for me to change the overclock in said kernel. It is currently set to 1.2ghz but I want to bump it up a tiny bit to maybe 1.3ghz or (if it's safe) 1.4ghz. This is so I can watch some video files (mkv) without having the bad audio lag issues. I would not be having it overclocked at that speed all the time, only for short periods. The only thing preventing me from just keeping a copy of cranium (I think it's cranium) on my sd is portability. The only kernel I know of that is OC'd higher than ardatdat hasn't fixed the data counter issue. And it needs Odin. I would like to be able to just go into CWM and flash my extra OC'd kernel when I need it. As a last thought, I think ardatdat has stopped (or paused) development so if this is at all possible, help is greatly appreciated.

You can try to download no frills CPU control.should be able to overclock when you need it then, just make sure you have root (su)

@above Still, the max is set to 1.2
Side question: say I don't want to install a separate app: what files should I have to mod to select the governor and maximum frequency?
Thanks.

Make your own thread for your own question... I'm looking for an answer to my problem and I don't need constant notifications about yours. Thanks.
And just to clarify, I have an overclocking app already. What I'm looking for is how to change the max clock speed that is set in the kernel. Or just a kernel that has it already raised above 1.2. I need the data counter fixed though, no matter what.

Audio lag I believe can be fixed in inception v2 with voodoo sound.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda premium
Its only happening in mx when I play mkv. Its a known speed issue with the player. Also, I really don't like the theme on v2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
If it's a known speed issue with the app, why would changing the oc on the kernel affect it? Think about, the general audience for the app don't have OC kernels. It is supposed to work without OC. I think just an update to the app will fix it.
I'll see if I can unpack boot.img for the kernel, anyway
Well you see it's an issue with older phones. And mine has had a bit of an issue with speed simply because of some of the apps I have running. That's why I wanted to do this. Its hardware limitations. I just worded it wrong.

Isnt it just easier to kill the running apps before playing the video, than setting another oc just to play it. your reasons for doing these are too strange...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
Except that the running apps are ones that I cannot kill? My Data monitor, antivirus, facebook (which I would like to kill but cannot) as well as a few others are what slow it down. Besides, I just would like to see how well the videos run at a higher clock. Simple curiosity is probably the best way to explain it.

you can kill the facebook app by logging off then it should be able to close.

sorry same here I don't know how to help you. I was just trying to help you out and close different applications that are open in the backround. What I usually do is log off certain applications like facebook and other ones I actually turned around and uninstall anything that stays resident and in memory this way I know that my phone is not running any non essential application in the background.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
I expect you'd need to modify the source of the kernel to support a higher max OC, and then you'd need to build the kernel from source. I didn't spot the source for any of the kernels on our phone at a glance, but I didn't look too hard, if you track one down it should be fairly straightforward.
Ah ok. And getting the tools to do so is a piece of cake, so I suppose that's what I'll have to do. Thanks for your help!

Why does the GN lag so much when installing a app from the playstore?
And can something be done that i can use the device while a app gets installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think it's because Android is just not so optimized, it lags on almost every debice
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
On my stock optimus2x or anfriends note 2 there is not the slightest lag when installing a app.
GN basicly locks up so i doubt its android somehow...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Because the CPU takes a hit with processing the install (unpacking resources, etc). OMAP CPUs are very open for development/modding compared to other CPUs, but the side effect is they're not quite as powerful due to avoiding some libraries and hardware techniques other CPUs might use that are proprietary in certain cases.

Personally I don't have that problem with my gnex . Its smooth as ever but, I don't leave unused apps using resources like fb or other rogue apps.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
so i went back to stock (with the exact same apps as before) and this is a huge difference, no lag at all, no even when installing apps from the playstore. no need for any seeder or lagfix hack to get the device working as it should.
so now the question is wether the lag apears as well after some time or if the lag thing is only present in custom roms. and if so then the question is why.
i will keep my device on stock for some weeks to see how it goes.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It will almost certainly come back, and it's not only present in custom ROMs. A clean install of a custom ROM should result in the same speed boost as a clean install of a stock ROM. See the following thread:
Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM
I would also say it depends on what governor and I/O scheduler you use. I would say try the stock settings of interactive and cfq.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
as far as i can remember all custom roms literaly froze when a app was installed. so far i have not seen this on stock and i dont think that is a mather of trim or sheduler/governor.
but i will find out soon enough i guess...
Edit: forgot to ask, you are on a custom rom and your device doesnt freeze while installing apps?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have tried 3-4 ROMs so far and never faced this problem.
While downloading apps, I can parallely do other tasks, play games, make and receive calls.
And if this helps, My GNex is 7 months old.

I agree. I'm using XENON HD Stable-4.0 Franco kernel r364. Ever since dumping the stock ROM, the Play Store performance is painfully slow. I have 276 apps on my Galaxy Nexus and the Play Store seems to be the only app that impairs the phone's performance so dramatically.
As a previous poster said, a lot has to happen when installing an app. So I tear myself away from my beloved comm dev from a few minutes and do something else. Like relate to my wife
I was wondering if anyone out there wants to help me and others out by giving us what they like to use for different Sysctl/kernel settings and they feel work good either for battery/performance or well rounded.
With stweaks and devil kernel that are a lot things to tweak and optimize and I've tried different settings I've found for other phones but was hoping to try out some tried n true for the L900.
