Thanks for your response.

Well mate, I use Retro, and yes I completely agree with that color tone is way far dynamic than what it should be in that app. But still that's the case in that app. In general, I mean for normal usage, I actually preferred/liked the old screen over this modded one, because of many reasons, better Vividness, better Contrast and some additional Brightness etc, brightness issue could be solved by manually adjusting it, but others won't, at least I can't modify them being a noob :). I'd really like to know if there is a mod by which I can get back the default settings.

Each on his own mate, I think in future if you give us an option to Turn On and Off the modded DNIE settings of yours and Enable/Disable the Default settings then we will gladly accept it, I certainly will :)

Regards.

Screen colour

I have to say I am more than happy with colour saturation. I'm running Simple & Clean v1.2 and s2-k2-16 Kernel.

Battery life

I'm on XWKI8 with speedmod kernel S2-K2-6 and very good battery life. I don't know if it worth to change to 16. Is true that the phone usage was minimal: few calls, facebook updates 2-3 times per day, some pictures, some market and few apps installed.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zerocoolspain:
Good Job!! I think it's the best kernel :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:
you must switch it off at nite then lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morg01:
I think if you look at the link in market it mentions the speedmod kernel, and that it 'break's the screen tuning app/tweak.

Changing the subject slightly, does anyone else notice haptic feed back seems a little on the 'light' side? . . . just an observation, I'm guessing it shouldn't be kernel related?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndroidGX:
Ok I thought something was did since, but still not then :( anyway I still find text much more readable and colored with Screen tune app. Strange.

Thanks for your answer. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oblivianz:
Everyone is talking about colors. Has color been changed in the latest update? I somewhat feel like my color looks better than before after the update.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Damienoid:
Thanks for your reply on this subject, at least I understand your reasoning behind turning off the MDNIE color boost.

I think it takes away from the feature that's sets the SAMOLED displays apart from the dull looking LCD displays on small mobile displays. On such a small screen, the display looks so vibrant and colourful, even small photo's viewed on this display look amazing compared to the same photo viewed on dull LCD mobile displays.

I don't agree when you say you make your photo adjustments, then you upload it to Facebook or view it on a normal PC screen and realize that the color on the phone was wrong. You would only do this once to realise, that you don't adjust the colour "before" you transfer the picture to your PC

So in the mean time we lose the unique advantage of a gorgeous vibrant display which LCD displays can't match.

So I hope we get more feedback on this issue, as this is a great kernal in every other way IMHO, and I hope we have the option of standard Samsung colour boosting as you call it, or not, as It appears that there is no options at the moment.

But unfortunately the colours look a bit off to me sadly...

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Good points, I also fail to see the reasoning behind the posters who say they like the colour detuned, why did they get a SAMOLED screen in the first place?

Plenty of LCD options to cater to different tastes.

Apart from that, Hardcore has developed a superb kernal, so I appreciate very much his work, even if I can't get past this issue...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:
Nope, nothing has been changed about the color in the last few versions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:
Again, this has nothing to do with whether the display is LCD or AMOLED.

The point is that in stock color settings, the color is over-saturated. Although the over-saturation makes lighter colors look darker, it also clips the darker colors.

Clipping is a form of distortion. It is what happens when the original color + boost is greater than the maximum color value allowed.

This makes darker colors look the same, i.e. you can't tell the difference between dark red and very dark red, because the dark red was boosted and the very dark red cannot get any darker so they both look the same.

The main advantage of AMOLED over LCD is the true blacks and the "maximum possible" viewing angle.

8 days?! I hate you. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Molitro:
It's fairly easy to reach that many days if you almost don't use the phone.

I, for example, with Siyah average over 2 hours per 1% on idle with all my syncing and wifi on (I'm going to try again with speedmod tonight. I had more drain with speedmod the last time I tried (didn't reach the 1%/2 hours mark), probably because of the ability to change the governor and voltage of Siyah). That's more than 8 days right there. If you turn data off overnight, or even turn flight mode on, you can go for 10 or even more days.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xmoo:
But do you boot into recovery? Or select "Flash kernell" in the CMW application in Android.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coolfire:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] planetf1:
Wow - that's impressive. I'd say my load is more like 2% per hour for sync+wifi. I have twitter, google+, facebook,facebook messenger, whatsapp. Many other apps are frozen - see https://plus.google.com/104422026240308775849/posts/absCmMLDtM2 for a rant of mine about auto start apps.

This is with minimal use - quick peek of any push notifications etc. So about 4x what you have, even though it's decent enough in it's own right.

This is in a good signal wifi & 3G area (local femtocell!) using the KJ3 rom

Will be very interested to see what you make of speedmod

One area I've not looked closely yet is non-user wakelocks. I know there's more stats in /proc than Better Battery Stats shows
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Molitro:
I forgot to say I use 2G almost all the time. I only turn it to 3G/H when I need it to use internet browsers or youtube, or whatever.

To manage notifications and text messages, 2G is more than enough, and you save ****loads of battery.

Other than that, I don't use facebook, but other social network more popular amongst my friends. I do use twitter (via plume), and of course whatsapp.

I don't think I have any other syncing except for network location for beautiful widgets and gmail (through which I now forward all my email to avoid using any other email app, and that's been the solution for all my problems in that matter. I don't think there's one friggin' email app that works properly).

But, agian, I'm talking idling. That is, leaving the phone alone through the night. Obviously during the day the drain goes up.

Tonight I'll see if the governor and undervolting really makes that much of a difference. I'd like to stay on speedmod for a few days at least, though, because, though Siyah performes well, and I surely don't see all that difference that people claims, it's true that speedmod it's a bit more consistant on the smoothness. It's more unusual experiencing those "hiccups" of lag that the phone suffers from time to time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bunglebp:
Hey all Love this Kernel..Really wanted the MDNIE screen tweaks! My issue is I want to OC this to 1600Mhz and this Kernel doesnt allow that any ideas how to go about it..Other Kernels dont seem as good especially on battery?

Any recommendations appreciated, I have tried Ninphetamine and speemod and Siyah

Want Good Screen, Bluetooth and battery that lasts longer than 5hours this Kernel seems smoothest but no Overclock

Running Criskelo v30 - Awesome!

I am sure other apps are there, I don't know anyway.

Yes, you have to flash it in Recovery. Go to Advanced option, Install zip from,SD card, select the .zip.

Don't know if Wipe Cache and Dalvik wipe is needed or not, I've done them anyway.

K2-6 was the version with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, which in theory should be more efficient on the battery. I might try PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY again with a K2-17 test version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
The purchase of this device does not depend on screen tech only.

The SGS2 was a beast of phone and the best Android phone on the market when it was new, some would even say that it still is, and that has nothing to do with the screen technology used

By your reasoning if a phone was bought based on the screen tech only, many of us would not be here....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] omniwolf:
Hi HC, thanks for the kernel.

i'm a little concerned:

Are you suggesting that there's a chance we could harm the phone? or just a risk of the phone not charging with certain chargers?

Thanks for the clarification.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil1988:
is the T11 slower than T10?

The biggest thing i missed on the speedmd kernel for the i9000 was the missing bootanimation, logo and sound support.

Can you but it an your list please?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dawabz94:

was worried that's why I flashed t10 instead :-D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ZiCoN:
@HardCore wouldn't it be better to leave the charge power to default, to be sure some1 won't fry their phone? I would think it's better that people nag about it takes a bit longer to charge, than people start crying over their phones has been fried due to this....

I love this kernel, and have just now put it to charge after 20h 16m 14s with 7 hours of sleep. Yesterday I was pounding that monkey hard, so battery life is outstanding.

I'm still on T10-300hz and loving it.

Just my 2c :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elbasso:

If you do leave this feature in the kernel than it is maybe a good idea to make it optional. That way the user has to conscientiously decide to use it. Might save you a lawsuit or two....;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nofam:
I wouldn't worry about it - the charging speed tweak has been in the Ninphetamine kernel since it's first release (I think), and I haven't seen any evidence of phone meltdowns.

Moreover, Hardcore's pedigree as a kernel dev speaks for itself - he wouldn't have put it in if there was a high probability of it causing problems. As long as you're using the genuine Samsung charger, or charging via a USB port (i.e. charging via a consistent, expected voltage), it should be fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xinfinityoO:
lawsuit..hahaha funy.. its at the users own risk ..if they use any mods etc..:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Cygnuss:
Will try this kernel and see how battery life behaves even with out under voltage support.

PS: No good max CPU Freq is 528 after flashing back to ninphetamine 2.0.2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] EarlZ:
There should be absolutely zero risk with the charging speeds replaced the best the official charger can put out is roughly 0.65amps if your using a 3rd party charger then its your own damn fault for frying the phone.

I wish though future kernels can charge at 1Amp as my board's USB port can provide that much.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ObihoernchenDE:
Ninphetamine can charge with up to 1Amp via USB

At the moment I can't customize the CWM4 yet. But you can enable logcat manually by:

Reboot and you should have logcat enabled.

One question, I felt K1-T10 more snapy than K1-T12/T11 in term of animations/transitions of windows.

Is that because te 250hz ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] furrypotato:
My suggestion for OC would be what the Unity team did over on my old phone, the Desire HD. They wrote an 'OC Daemon' as part of the kernel which handled over and under clocking.

Main advantage over using an app was the speed of the scaling - instant. So never any lag when turning screen on etc. And it was still configurable ( Via editing files with settings but they are working on a GUI for it)

Is there a way of putting the cpu data back on so I can use CPU Spy to check on cpu scaling and deep sleep stats ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bakedbread:
Just curious if anyone is using speedmod kernal on Cognition ROM? (1.31)

Wondering if it is compatible

I'm really curious on these 2 features:

- MDNIE screen sharpness tuning (improves text readability)

- MDNIE color tuning (reduces over-saturation of color)

Can anyone comment on them? Does it make a big difference in the colour/sharpness quality?

I dont really have many issues with my screen, i love it, but if it can be EVEN BETTER i'd love to give it a go

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] starbucks2010:
Hardcore,

I must stress again that the phone usage was minimal during this period because I had inside a Roaming SIM card (never used data). So, one more good point for battery life with this release (K2-6) is that during this entire period the phone was in Roaming. When I use the phone normally, the battery last maximum 2-3 days.

I never switched off the phone during the night nor put in Flight mode.

I attached also some details of the ROM.
