[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00150:
hey!

Just would like to know what settings regarding overclocking and undervolting you guys use. I searched the forum but couldn`t find anything useful except that UV to 800 seems to be the lowest possible. I know that every device is different but I would like to get an impression what is working good and for what reason.

I´d like to use Voltage Control from the market. Any advice for another good app? I don`t like SetCPU...

My current test settings are:

Scheduler = cfq

Governor = ondemand

no overclocking, just 200 - 1200 Mhz

Voltages

200 Mhz = 850 mV

500 Mhz = 875 mV

800 Mhz = 975 mV

1000 Mhz = 1075 mV

1200 Mhz = 1225 mV

1400 Mhz = 1275 mV

1600 Mhz = 1425 mV

Thanks for your feedback in advance ;)

Quick question - I heard there were some issues with the hardware accelerated video playback on CM7, as it's missing Samsung's codecs (or something). Is this still true?

Any ideas if DicePlayer fixes the issue, as it claims to use the hardware directly?

Many thanks :)

video playback on the stock rom was the smoothest definitly.you can scroll though every second of the video smoothly. this isn't the case with the cm7 video app or the 3rd party mxvideo app. they're just not as smooth,but good nonetheless

Hi, I used cm7 on my old HTC desire, and I loved it.now I have the galaxy s2 and the more time I am on stock samsungs roms, I am finding myself saying "oh his I miss how cm7 did this". I really want to root and flash cm7, but I use the internet more than anything else, while I know that cm7 browser won't be as smooth as samsungs, but is it just as fast with page rendering? The web page rendering time is the most important thing for me. If someone could help, I would be every greatdul. Oh, and clocked at 1.2ghz is the battery on par with Samsung Tom, and on stock cm7 kernal, can you OC the GPU? Thanks :-)

I was planning on only rooting and flashing, whenever a usable cm8 ics rom was available, but stock Samsung is really starting to annoy me and is getting really boring. Thanks very much :-)

I just flashed villainrom and ninphetamine only to see if my /system r/w problem persists across ROMs. It does. Same thing except / was mounted r/o but /system and all else was r/w. I then formatted system and wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Then fresh install of cm. Checked again and everything including / is r/w. I don't know if this helps troubleshoot but I thought it couldn't hurt. Maybe somebody with the same problem will have more knowledge of how to fix it.

Yes I've read it all. I've never flashed a ROM before so it's all a bit confusing to me atm :/. Especially since I took an alternate route than advised before deciding to install CM.

I've read through this thread and have come across posts like "This doesn't work with CF-Root kernel" etc etc, which I understand is incompatible. I just wanted to know what to do from here i.e. how to remove the kernel/switch to codeworkx's kernel.

And then try to follow these vague (for beginners) instructions hoping my phone won't explode xD

P.S. Thanks for the help.

Battery drain

Battery drain is way worse for me with the new kernel (nightly 70 & 71). Android System is now one of the biggest positions in Battery usage statistic.

I´m not a developer, but can it be related to android 2.3.7, too?

Is there any way/or plans of implementing BLN support to the kernel? I really love the feature even though it drains battery :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghmail2:
i have done some test on cm7 ,the memory performence seems way lower than stock source kernel,

in quadrant stock kernel reach 3800 plus minus,cm7 kernel can only make 2200+

or in CFBenchmark,the result turns out the same

anybody else looking into this too? and also in smartbench 2011, cm7 can only just over 3000 in cpu performence

how is that happen?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You don't remove a kernel, you just flash a new one over the top.

Download the newest nightly, put it into the internal sd card, flash codeworkx's kernel just as you flashed cf root.

Boot into cwm recovery, wipe cache and data and dalvik cache then flash the cm7 zip from recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I get between 3800 and 4200 in quadrant, which is a pointless benchmark anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerovius:
Thank you very much for putting it in Layman's terms :).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghmail2:
i mean the performence of memory, nothing to do with the whole score, in cfbenchmark you can see more clearly
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I just checked, CFBenchmark says that the the performance is the same or better than stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeworkx:
it depends on your usage.

i think you don't know how you have to interpret those values. xD

- charge your phone

- unplug it if its fully charged

- don't touch it for 3 days

- have a look at the battery usage screen

i'm sure it will show something like this:

3 days up, android os 80%, 50% battery left.

is this bad? no.

Make sure your downloaded file is OK, use Codeworkx's CWM kernel in the OP (if coming from CF root) and if coming from another ROM, factory reset before you flash.

I finally went on with a workaround to my /system being r/w on boot. I used the autostart app in the market to run a shell script and mount it r/o at boot. It still isn't really fixed, though. Any other folders or partitions I should mount r/o?

Edit: I made a userinit.sh script instead of the autostart app. I hate using an app for something android can do on its own.

If anybody else needs it, put a file named userinit.sh in the /data/local folder. I changed the permissions so all had execute checked. I had to do that before on a script I wrote so I assume you still have to here. Put the following line in the file and save:

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs3/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system

I think this works for anybody who needs it but I'm not sure. If any devs see a problem here please tell me. This only mounts /system as r/o at boot. I still don't know what else needs to be changed, if anything.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if this borks anything on your phone. Mine is fine so far but use at your own risk.
