do you have haptic enabled in sounds?

note* if you downloaded v1.1 haptic is broken
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zebbi24:
hey. firstly mate really appreciate the effort in developing a kernal for the i9100.just wondered if you were able to make a new KE2 kernal.i have just flashed your kernal im on villianrom.hes using the stock kernal i belive anyways my phone kept root from before.but just as a reference quadrant score is 400points lower.i think this is because of your kernal being KDD.i had same score as using yours when i tryed using supercurios kernal also.am i correct for the reason?sorry for big ramble.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
yes, you will also notice that the recovery keys are different as well in regards to other sgs2 kernels. power is select rather than the home button, for example...check op for full recovery key mapping;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m444266:
battery test result's not bad.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulomario77:
Hi OG,

Are you still maintaining this kernel? I just flashed CyanogenMod V7.1.0 stable on my SGS II and wonder if your kernel is compatible with it. CyanogenMod is at Android v2.3.7.

Best regards
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
yes, even though I haven't done anything in a while because I have been very busy with work...

This kernel is NOT compatible with cm7. the maintainers of cm7 for the sgs2 asked that no kernels were released to the public before stable to not confuse and make debugging harder.

I'm sure you will start to see some cm7 kernels soon....look for "cm7" and kernel in the title;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
version 1.2 has bln with no correct path...maybe that is the cause. look for wip to be removed from the title (we should have bln then)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] braap:
Yes, it's enabled. No feedback in in the soft keys or in the screen at all. The same happens with the stock kernels.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zodiaxe66:
Hi

Is this kernel build "dead" or is it still wip or has it been moved to another thread,i was looking forward to see what u could do this awsome gadget
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
no, not dead.Sorry, I got frustrated and took a couple weeks off for some r&d in the LOS. bln is close, hope to get it in the next week ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zodiaxe66:
Well,s... happens and sometimes it is enough and we need a break.take your time,no rush.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
☆Jame Bond☆ v①.③

kernel updated to version 1.3...

changelog-

note-bln is still being worked on so asking doesn't speed it up

Neldar (bln control) and Akent are both contributing so we should have it soon

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rubino90:
this kernel improve the battery or only performance? thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
battery life is always the most important to me...but never sacrificing performance;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
Thanks for your work especially for your work @BLN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blickmanic:
ill flash when it gets BLN :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rubino90:
I Flash your kernel i test it now it's very good at now but i known you (my ex phone is nexus s and i flash your kernel time ago) good work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blickmanic:
any updates on bln? :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawat:
WTF, why are people rating this thread 1 star? :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Cuz people are idiots
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
I don't think people realize the amount of time and work that goes into this, and they are upset because something doesn't have the features they are looking for???

This kernel is not chock full of features, it is simple and that is what I look for. I want insecure, recovery, efficient, battery light, and (hopefully soon bln).

I think it fills a niche for people who want the same as me, and that is why I posted it.

I don't get paid for this, nor do I expect to.

But when people don't even hit the thanks button and then spit on my thread with 1 star:(

this is not intended to be funny, from my heart...

[YOUTUBE]3eGJOqMHsDI[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] huzz:
Thanks @ogdobber for all your hard work. A lot of us appreciate the effort and time you put into it.

Even if a few don't.

I was wondering would this Kernel be fine for the new leaked 2.3.4?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jodelaplaya:
People are not fair... people are stupid, you can not do anything about it

But you don't care what people say/said.

Take your time, do your best and make people shut up.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
thanks guys:p

this kernel uses codeworx's initramfs he started that it is tested and working on 2.3.4

so I can say with 99.9% certainty that yes it will...but I will be testing to be sure later today;)

*edit does not work on stock 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jodelaplaya:
And what about BLN ogdobber, do you have some "fresh" news :P ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rawat:
Thread rating up to 3.8 now.

That's 8 people rating it 5*, and 2 people rating it 1*.

I think the signal outweighs the noise. I've been interested in this from day 1. Keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
hit another road block yesterday...but still plugging away. got some ideas for some different directions:)

Thanks Rawat;) you=:cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
2.3.4 support

ok the initramfs where updated for 2.3.4, I had a feeling (.01% lolz)

anyways, kernel is update to 1.5.1

insecure for adb and clockwork for flashing

check the 3rd post (installation) for the superuser zip;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
great, thanks !

but why not the 4.0.0.5 recovery ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
Dude, keep it up with good work.

I see, Cognition and your kernel with CWM = rock n' roll :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
Is the new kernel version based on KG1?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
yes.

but only the 1.5.1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] umair9001:
the recovery 4.0.0.5 posted has a problem with home button working like volume down..i guess dat mite b the reason..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vauss:
hi ogdobber , can you add support for custom bootanimation?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
Im sorry but to say in your OP not to use SETCPU or profiles just shows your ignorance to how android actually works.

Yes in theory the default governor should look after the phone itself however in practice this does not work at all, far too often the phone is forced to a too high a level of CPU and when it does it stays there for longer than needed thus reducing battery life.

Setcpu (other clocking apps are availaible) enables you to force a lower "top level" therefore saving you power, and the profiles enable you to lower this still at times where you don't need it higher, i.e. screen off (to stop background apps wasting cpu when your not actually looking at the phone)

In a happy happy world where all apps and the rom itself is designed perfectly then sure clocking apps are not needed, but we don't live in a happy happy world.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] skymera:
Agreed.

Without SetCPU and profiles, my phone spent way to long at max frequency, rarely dipping to the lowest I had set.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Looks good, but trying to load Tegrak OC modules caused the phone to reboot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andejx:
isn't tegrak for stock kernels only? or at the very least ones designed for it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hacre:
Yes, although a module panic shouldn't reboot the phone, it should just fail to load.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Scrammy:
VERY thankfull!

Im running your kernel with KG1 rom and phone - and i just have to say: i am VERY gratefull for your work. Works perfectly, just what i need...

Please keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nrs1988:
getting an error while flashing the su package?

anyone else that has this problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bboran:
Does your kernel include speed and battery optimizations?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LeoMar75:
Does your last version support Custom boot / init scripts?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AmesCell:
I just want BLN. A lot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Crucio_:
gonna run your kernel with stock rom 2.3.4 for the next few days see how it goes, thanks for your work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Remoteconcern:
I'm going to give this a go with the VillainRom 2.3.4 update and see how I fare.

Thanks very much for the work, hoping this is a nice kernel :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] floyd0815:
THX for the kernel!

But the Home button in CWM is mapped to vol+?!

(V1.5.1 on VR2.0)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
I didn't think there was much of a difference so I haven't bothered to update yet

4.0.0.2 still does what is needed to be done;)

any bootanimation can be flashed through recovery

kernel doesn't support tegrak

thank you very much

you and me:p

home button in recovery is something chainfire does...I prefer v+,v-, and power
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jodelaplaya:
What about battery life m8 ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
You can take that statement in the op with the grain of salt, but by no means am I ignorant to the android system.

far too often people are overzealous about the values they choose trying to reinvent the wheel of battery life,

I stand by my op statement and do not recomend setcpu.

btw, I get excellent battery life by letting android do its thing;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
well, I ran it for a day and I have to say that 2.3.4 is better on its own...

I have done no uv to this point and the sgs2 already uses ext4 (lagfix) so I will continue to study ways to make it better.;)

I can get a full day out of it with heavy usage (for me which would include 4h screen) so really that is the most important thing.

Always my goal is battery life without sacrificing performance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vauss:
hi

I put a custom bootanimation.zip on \system\media and it doesn't work with your kernel

thanks for your time
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
hmm, it may need to go in /data/local on the sgs2.

to be honest I haven't tried, but if I need to implement something to make it work, I will look into it.

I will try and test myself
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vauss:
ok, i will try in data/local too

thanks dude
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vorcigernix:
Lenny, I respect your work for android, but I don't get your post. Mark clearly stated in first post that this kernel do not support setcpu. If he believe that this is no longer needed, there is no point in arguing about android architecture. Noone is saying that there is no need for battery saving procedures, but there are people which can live with one day battery live, like me. In my priority list, there is BLN on point 1, setcpu, undervolting etc somewhere around 20 :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rmourar:
Hi there, I would like to ask if it's just me or the sdcard (external_sd) can't be accessed from recovery??

PS: I liked the buttons assignment on your recovery, very comfortable.:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aerobahn:
I'm glad my favorite kernel dev. for my Nexus S is working on this phone :)

Few questions:

Are you experimenting with porting Sabai Dee UV to the i9100?

I have your Sabai Dee UV kernel installed for my Nexus S and it has simply amazing battery life. When can we expect the same for the Galaxy S II?!?

Can you elaborate on what specifically changed in the 2.3.4 initramfs? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vauss:
tried but no luck, it doesn't work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
Thanks for this, just flashed and will be giving it a try with VillainROM2.0
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Crucio_:
is there a method to flash your kernel without odin?

just wanted to remove the yellow ! from boot up without having a jig.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
A developer calling another developer ignorant, nice going. In a happy happy world, those comments would have been taken offline, perhaps in a PM to get clarification on the OP's statement. But you're right this isn't a happy happy world. But your post does show your ignorance to common sense.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
i will look into it...maybe a feature of 4.0.0.5?

thank you. sabai, maybe. right now bln is a priority

yes confirmed, I saw a thread about changing the boot img and I think it touches on the bootanimation

no not at this time. the jig work very good
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Idan73:
Comments on first. Having access to external sd is chainfire's feature inspired by sztupi's work in sgs forum. Personally saved me several times on sgs i9000m being notorious for losing access to internal storage and having ability to load extra files or roms from pc certainly helped. Original clockwork was and is never designed with this in mind as it concentrates on phones with only external storage which in our case is internal one.

Also comment about home button in clockwork. Too many people comment against home button being select in chainfire kernel as though it somehow bothers them whereas the original power key also works so really don't get what the problem is? Those that are used to the Samsung recovery will use home button. Those coming from other phones and used to clockwork recovery will use power.

Comment on last. Had chainfire kernel, then flashed original, then flashed your unpacked kernel Zimage with chainfire cwm app. Yellow triangle gone.

Anyways really appreciate your work and wish you all the best. Kernel runs great.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bert3227:
Sorry if I have asked a stupid question, is this KG1 based ?

Any diff with CF-Root-KG1xxxx ?

Thanks.

Bert
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
yes KG1. cf root has 4.0.0.5 recovery(orange) and his kernel is secure (no adb)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
I hate that orange in recovery:mad: blue rules:cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bert3227:
Thanks!! I have just flash JB1.6 over my VR2.0...

Nice kernel thanks! Only problem, I missed my bootanimation..lol

Lite'ning 2.0
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sicopat:
In the first post it's written : support bootanimation ??? not working ?

BTW, Whitch are the differences between 4.0.0.5 and 4.0.0.8 just the color ??

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TechNoir:
Thanks alot for sharing your work.

One question, I hope you don't mind me asking it. I checked the last 50 posts and the changelog but no mention of it.

KG1, while obviously not an official release yet, seems to have made changes that slow the UI quite alot on the SGS2. Scrolling the home screen in particular isn't as smooth as it was before, and there is frequent stuttering for me, both in TouchWiz and other launchers.

Is this something that could be improved in the kernel, or do you want to keep it as clean as possible. It might be a CPU governor thing if Samsung changed thatm or something else. Just curious since the difference in UI responsiveness and smoothness for me is so pronounced.

Thanks again for sharing this. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
that is a *todo list...removed to ease confusion;)

I'll try to track down the changelog for clockwork, but from my understanding it is mainly bugfixes (color change is thanks to codeworkx)

I like to keep my kernels "clean" because more often than not, when you "fix" one problem another arises :rolleyes:

Anyways, with that being said, I am not experiencing any lag whatsoever that you mentioned...are you running a custom rom or theme? if not, It is probably an app/widget that is causing your problem;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TechNoir:
I was actually on stock KG1. Now flashed a different modded KG1 ROM, and seems to work fine again, almost feels like hardware acceleration wasn't working properly before, now you get that slippery smooth feeling on UI interactions again.

Well, you can definitely discard my question. Cheers. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:
Can I ask what the difference is between this kernel and "GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.0.8.tar" from codeworkx? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
can i use tegrak with this kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
I use codeworkx initramfs, so they are going to be very similar (version 1.6 anywats)

no this kernel does not support tegrak at this time
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
version 1.7

new test kernel up in op for the adventurous (actually pretty stable)

modifications to recovery are thanks to J_rodd, still running clockwork 4.0.0.2 as he hasn't updated his git. so if he doesn't do it soon, I will put in the work and get it up to 4.0.0.8

The recovery is inspired by Amon_ra, but of course we all know and appreciate that this is Koush's hard work.

enjoy:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Thank god you removed those annoying pluses in recovery. Amon would be proud :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] afein:
Silly question, but does this kernel currently support bln?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:

On anther note, the OP was updated to kernel version 1.7.1:D

-version 1.7.1 recovery updated to 4.0.0.8 (terminal green)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] itsme_4ucz:
hi ogdobber can i have only recovery v4.0.0.2 in cyan colour.

yhx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
why 4.0.0.2 and not 4.0.0.8?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nightranger73:
They are different implementations.

The 4.0.0.2 was made by ChainFire with support for externalsd and home button to select

4.0.0.8 was made by codeworx with no externalsd support and power button to select.

Both have problems reading backup from each other and gives md5 check error if trying to restore a backup made with the other.

ChainFire one seems to be the most used but on the other hand codeworx was meant for cm7

Edit: 4.0.0.2 works well with CWM manager while 4.0.0.8 won't

Sent from my GT-I9100

If you find this post usefull please press the "Thanks" button
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
both 4.0.0.2 and 4.0.0.8 were made by koush.

chainfire has made some modifications i.e exsd, home button select and "his" mod cwm manager.

I personally am not a fan of chainfires button layout (i prefer the "traditional" one)

what needs to happen is chainfire update to 4.0.0.8

4.0.0.8 can suppport external sd, but I nor codeworkx has done that yet
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sicopat:
Would be very pleased and would shure use your kernel with external sd suppport :)

hi everybody!

I see a lot of questions about the recovery menu, but no feedback about battery or other info on the kernel performance.

how does it work?

thank you for your kind feedback!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
All I can say is no news is good news;):confused:

there have been a ton of downloads, (in one day I got more dl's than a month on my ns kernel)

I guess when when things are good people forget...but when there is a problem they are straight to posting

The main purpose of this kernel is for battery life without sacrificing performance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kirdroid:
Just downloaded this kernel ... what is the difference between this and the latest stock kg2 kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
custom recovery and insecure;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
just wondering if u can implement support for extended batteries, i am ready to test anything u want to throw at me ;) ( i meant the code :p )
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kirdroid:
Thanks...what do you mean by insecure? Means you can push root files? Is it safe to use as a daily driver? Sorry a kernel noob here :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
not sure what you are asking?

yes, an insecure kernel means you can do what you want. daily driver? absolutely
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kirdroid:
Ok cool...i just flashed this, will see how the battery life is :-)

Edit: By the way cool recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
thank you

one of the things I have grown to love is scrolling down with the menu soft button. I have so many things on my sd card it can take some time (of course you also can use the volume rocker) :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tids2k:
hi thanks for the reply what i meant with the extended battery support was that could you implement any code in your kernel so that the actual capacity of the battery can be calculated, in HTC phones running cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_attr_text gave FULL(mAh) which indicated the actual battery capacity been shown to the device.

Could you implement that code in your code if possible ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
ahhh ok.I would be surprised if it isn't already implemented as Samsung makes an extended battery.

anyways, yes it can be done. (if need be) I will be ordering this once it is available;)
