franco kernel - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the op for the Franco kernel it says there's an interface for overclocking the GPU, I feel like this is a stupid question but I can't seem to find it can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

either use the franco kernel app or go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc/ with a root file explorer(like root explorer) and manually edit the variable and save it.

Trickster mod app also works.

App to change cpu frequencies without going to bootloader (CM7)

Im on CM7 stable and i need an app which can change cpu frequencies and vsels without having to go to the bootloader and having to reboot. I know setvsel is there but i know it shouldnt be installed on CM7. However i did install it and it doesnt work.

if you have root explorer, you can edit the overclock file in system/bootmenu/config. For the changes to affect, i guess we need to reboot anyway!
Before I got CM7, I used something called 'Milestone Overclock' which can be found on the market, and requires root. It was very simple to use and allowed you to set a custom combination of frequency and voltage. It also allowed more than 1000MHz like the CM7 app, I think 1.2 was the limit. (I never went above 1000 though!!)
Thanks guys. The root explorer overclock shows me 4 values while the bootloader only shows 3?

[Q] what are you using for a cifs client?

I've been using es file explorer to do cifs for a while but it doesn't seem to work on the nexus.

been using es explorer to mount my smb drives, found that it was one of the only ones that would allow me to "stream" or "open with" other video programs
cifsmanager would be nice if your shares support it (available on playstore) but you have to have a cifs enabled kernel, which i think the development thread has. this would allow you to use any filemanager you want
other programs to test:
mount manager
movie browser hd for tablet
Apply the cifs kernel patch and use cifs manager to mount your share to /storage/sdcard0/share/ then your apps will index your remote drive( for music and such)

Would you please tell us how to do this? I have been searching around the Nexus 7 forums for several days trying to find out how to enable CIFS. I want to do this with the STOCK rom. I do not want to use a custom rom. Is this possible? I am okay with unlocking my bootloader/rooting the device.
Where is the cifs kernel patch? I saw one kernel in the development forum that enables CIFS, but I do not know if that kernel will work with the stock OS.
If anyone can help me understand this I would be grateful.

[Q] Over Clock

Hi,
I want to overclock my tablet(using this steps http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-to/nexus-7-feeling-slow-heres-you-overclock-for-insane-speeds-increased-performance-0145908/) but i want to know 2 things:
(1)Is this will avoid the warranty? if yes then how to disable/remove the over clock after use it and get back the warranty?
(2)Am i will lose all my apps/games? if yes then what is the best backup app that backup apps and locate it to PC and backup the APK/data/save?
Thanks.
1) I believe rooting does void the warranty. But it's easy to revert back to stock if necessary. The easiest method is to use one of the toolkits found in the Nexus 7 Development section.
I also suggest you don't use Motley Kernel as the link you provided shows. That kernel hasn't been updated in quite a while. I suggest M-Kernel or FrancoKernel. Both of which can be found in the Nexus 7 Original Android Development Section.
2) If you have already rooted your tablet, flashing a new kernel will not cause you to lose data. But if you have not rooted the tablet yet, the unlocking process will erase all your data. Best app for backups is Titanium Backup. But make sure you transfer the backup files to your PC because unlocking will erase your sdcard.

You'll need to root to overclock. If you're not familiar with the terms or procedures being used here then I strongly suggest reading up and searching the forums first, otherwise you could do some damage.

-I saw tutorial for Franco kernel I tested it but I was studied on the boot animation luckily I backed up before doing that,
I tested the motley kernel and was working so good and there isn't any lag but I want to know if that maybe corrupt my tablet after long use

He meant rooting, which is a prerequisite. Rooting your tablet has voided the warranty in and of itself. Overclocking is definitely outside of the scope of the warranty as you are stressing the hardware beyond its intended parameters. If you don't know what you're doing, there is the potential of permanently damaging your SoC. There's no hiding that if you choose to fraudulently make a warranty claim.

Paranoid Android 3.99 with Franco Kernel

I'm Using Paranoid Android 3.99 Android 4.3
Can Anybody please provide step-by-step instructions for installing franco kernel?
Since PA uses the JWR kernel so just go to Franco's and download the r178 version (not the one with a JSS).
It says it doesnt break root so just to he sure go to Developer options then turn root on for ADB and Apps.
Flash the kernel in recovery and wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache and ur good to go

U can't change the settings of the kernel unless you have the kernel app made by franco. Its a paid app by Franco himself
U can also get a free one that does exactly the same though... Named as "Trickster MOD kernel" something.
Franco doesnt have OC/UC so you would need the color calibration (i think)
U can find all of them here... My best choice is the "Halfbreed" by "Molesarecoming"

Read Franco's thread. He doesn't have GPU CPU overclock settings etc.
U will only need the display calibration since the clock speeds governers are just stock. Stability is his only priority.

Its a problem caused by pa 3.99 1 use the linaro version of Franco (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45592370) for now or stay on stock. Next time search pa or Franco thread and you'd find the answer

If your rooted then use trickster mod app in playstore.

I downloaded No-frills CPU Control and toggle on apply at boot. Of course, you have to be rooted to do this, but pretty sure you have to be to change governor at all.
