---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Maguro thread
Here's the Golden Kernel, a modified version of Amperific's A.S.K.P and boype's Fancy. The concept is always to have a hybrid kernel, optimized for galaxy nexus,
in this way there is no more indecision about which kernel flash because this Golden is an all-in-one. This kernel also includes many features of the latest versions of the linux kernel (3.4/3.8+)
A slim, fast and smooth kernel for enjoying your phone.

Well, let's go into serious business

Installazione by dadenet

Indipendentemente dalla Rom che avute sul device fate un Backup preventivo

1. Entrare in Recovery mode
2. Dirty wipe ( wipe cache + davlik )
3. Wipe system ( qui diamo una bella pulita alla partizione system )
4. Ri-flashate la vostra rom + gapps ( Non perdete niente ! , state sereni , non dovete reinstallare nessun'app. )
5. Reboot system

1. Rientrare in Recovery mode
2. Dirty wipe ( wipe cache + davlik )
3. Flash kernel Goldenkernel-XXG09J - Latest (Download in prima pagina)
4. Reboot system

Settaggi

1. Avviare l'app Trickster MOD , e mettete gli UV nello spoiler ( non dovete sbagliare niente ) , chi avrà problemi di riavvii , dovrà aumentare gli UV di 25.
2. Caricate completamente la batteria , al raggiungimento del 100% utilizzate l'app Battery Calibration , così azzeriamo il file batterystats.bin in system.
3. Utilizzate il vostro device fino ad un 14% di batteria e poi fate la ricarica completa.

Da qui in poi si vedranno i risultati.
La procedura deve essere seguita perfettamente


Undervolt

ok dunque il supporto per pgm lo ha, ma le chiavette usb le legge? fino ad ora sono riuscito ad usarle solo con il fancy.

questo non so dirtelo... prova..
se jeeko mi risponde su fb poi lo dico

[guniens]

ciao a tutti, inanzi tutto parto col dire che questo kernel mi piace molto e il problema che avevo col surriscaldamento ora sembra essersi risolto, l'ho flashato sulla purity con 4.3 e avrei bisogno di una configurazione ottimale in tutto e per tutto con trickster mod grazie mille ciauz
Edit: lo zram non funge, lo attivo con trickster poi faccio un reboot ma al riavvio é ancora disabilitato; potete aiutarmi ?

[Uzumaki99]

la config devi farla tu poiché non possiamo sapere se il cellulare supporta gli undervolt/ overclock quando si surriscalda e altro

Per lo zram così come per e alte impostazioni, dopo che le hai abilitate, hai settato imposta all'avio attivato?

[guniens]

Allora come undervolt uso lo smart reflex che se non sbaglio é un undervolt automatico gestito dal sistema, non ho fatto l' overclock xché come prestazioni va bene così, ho controllato e la spunta su imposta alla avvio ce xò lo zram non si applica..

[Uzumaki99]

prova a rifare i wipe e a riflashare il kernel

[morfances]

grande uzumaki..ora ti sei messo anche con i kernel ah ha ah
da provare anche questo..anche sono affezionato al fancy..
hai pm

[Uzumaki99]

non è mio xD
è del mio amico jeeko

Il Kernel è creato dal mio amico Jeeko e posso dire che è un ottimo kernel L'ho testato e ha una durata ottima della batteria, il telefono non si è surriscaldato e le prestazioni rimanevano e si vedevano

prima la mod audio e tutto... poi passo ai kernel, alla rom e tutto
