on the topic of kernels, anyone noticed to min freq on the CM kernel is 1026MHz? This could be causing a battery drain. Typically, and i say typically because this is not always true, but each freq has an assigned voltage, the higher the freq the higher the voltage. I've seen some chips that actually use the same voltage for all frequencies, but it's not common. Even if you change the minimum frequency (Menu > Settings > Performance > processor) down to 384, it doesn't stick. If you leave the screen and come back it's set back to 1026.

I haven't echoed a min freq of 384 in any of the files in init.d, mostly because i'm lazy, but i wonder if that would force it to 384.

In my settings it shows min clock at 1026 but it also shows the current clock speed at the very top and it drops and stays at 384. I can guarantee that it isn't causing any battery drain as if it is stuck on 1026. Might just be a bug in the settings.

When i manually adjust mine to 384, i agree that while i'm in the screen it does in fact drop to 384 and can be verified by watching the current freq as you said. But if i leave and come back or reboot the phone ... yes the min freq setting changed back to 1026 but it's not a simple display issue, i can sit and watch until i'm blue in the face and the current freq doesn't drop below 1026.

Reboot your phone, and see if drops below 1026.

After rebooting it still drops to 384. I didn't set the min or have the "set on boot" box check though. I am on the 12/10 nightly.

Mystery solved. It was the set on boot box. Leaving it unchecked, against logic, allows the CPU to scale down properly lol. Checking it defaults the min freq back to the 1200

This isn't really CM related, but seems the best place to ask. I'm running the most recent CM nightly, but I'd like to try francos kernel. They're compatible, according to franco.

Would I just flash the kernel? What happens when there is a new CM nightly, will I have to flash CM then the kernel again?

First time doing this, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Yup gotta reflash.

Thanks! One more simple question. Do I only need to wipe cache/dalvik, or do I need to wipe data as well? (I'm using Goo Manager, if that helps any)

Wipe cache and dalvik cache, no need to wipe data.

Check out this link to see some of the QS customization. Notice the Nav bar too.

Check out the free app CyanDelta, it will automatically download the latest nightly delta (10-20mb) instead of the entire rom (180-200mb). It also gives you an option to select a kernel to flash automatically so you don't even have to worry about doing the flashing/wiping of cache.

Just for Ss & Gs i decided to check out on CM and I'm very pleased with it. I don't believe/buy into the whole artificial benchmark thing so I'm not going to sit here spewing performance numbers but I've seen an improvement in battery life which is important to me. I've noticed with his kernel, which defaults to interactive gov 384 min 1512 max, the device spends a significant more amount of time idling at 384MHz than with the stock kernel.

Right now I'm running the CM 16 nightly, with Franco #14. He's working on for his next kernel release which sounds very intriguing.

+1 I'm running the same thing

How do you change Trebuchet launcher for Nova launcher?
I'm not a root user.

You can just install Nova from the Play Store. Afterwards when you hit the Home button it will give you a choice of what launcher to use and you can select to use whichever you want. If you set one as a default and want to change your mind, just go to Settings > Apps > All, find the launcher and select it, then hit "Clear Defaults".

[CrazCruz]

Your god damn right!
Eventhought I think that might cause a problem, however I uninstalled nova launcher because now I know how to use trebuchet and it works fine to me so far. I'll be changing to nova launcher when a new rom comes to my attention

Quick question to all you ROOT pros out there; I'm running CM10.1 Nightlies and I'm just wondering when I do my daily delta update do I need to check/download the Google Apps everyday as well or is that file the same no matter which CM Nightly I'm running? Thanks everyone

The GAPPS file stays the same. I had to reflash it though in recovery when updating the nightlies. The GAPPS zip should already be in your file directory.
