Re: [ROM][AOSP][7/24][JB] Bugless Beast VZW Galaxy Nexus
Are there major differences between these two kernels? Or is it more dependent on how it reacts to each individual phone?
Also, are there some common features that you would use on both kernels..like I read something about hotplug (turning off 1 cpu core while in standby)? TIA!
Huge difference between the two kernels.
Franco's enables a TON of features (hotplug is one) on his kernel that you don't see on the stock kernel in BB.
Few others include Color Control, set of about 4 different features that you can use to "improve" the color and saturation levels on the Gnex screen.
Sound hacks to improve the audio output
Power Modes, which are kinda like macro settings for a bunch of different kernel settings.
Franco also adds in updates pushed by other vendors before they are put in the stock kernel.
Now, that being said, custom kernels add to possible problems in a custom ROM. Pete spends the time getting BB to work right with his kernel, stock in this case, at least right now.
If you have a problem, blame the kernel first before you blame the ROM. I was good on r220 with the 7/19 build but r223 on 7/24 was giving me lag, re-flashing the 7/24 build made it all good again.
I love franco's kernel. It's awesome but since Jelly Bean it's given me a bunch of performance issues that just don't happen in stock BB. That's not a reflection of anything other than JB being new and everyone working through the early bugs you see in custom ROMs on new version of Android.
