Just locked up on 11. May as well try 13. INteresting to note that my hangs with 12 and 11 have occurred within 1/2 day, yet 10 ran for for longer, but if this locks up going to go back one of

- 10 or earlier

- stock kernel / alternate

- KJx firmware

- full reset

.. the order being somewhat arbitary. Persuing kernel->firmware->reset sequence since there are some hang reports here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
It is very possible, the problem occurred for me when I tried installing the Roboto font using Font Installer, this app requires root and busbox (which I installed from the market) so there is some sort of link there
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zachig:
+1!

Happened to me as well. At first I didn't notice what caused the problem, but then I realized that whenever I update BusyBox using 'Busybox installer', my WiFi gets 'broken' with endless 'Obtaining IP Address...'

So..After flashing Speedmod K2-18-test2, I just uninstalled 'BusyBox' installer and haven't updated it. So far...everything is OK.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
hi all. i'm using Intratech's XWKK5 frakenstein rom, together with SpeedMod K2-18(12).

wondering 1 thing, why is that the cloud-to-device process always appears once i reboot my phone? i disabled the option on the backup actually, but whenever i reboot it appears and i have to stop it from the Running Services.

another thing that i wish to know is that, my phone is constantly on awake mode. not sure why :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veeruchinnu143:
Guys I have a doubt. My firmware version is XWKI8 2.3.5. I installed speedMod on it and Im getting an awesome battery life. But the problem is when my phone notifies me that its charged to 100%,when I removed my charger from it,its showing 97% battery only. I don't know why its showing like that but I'm getting good battery backup...is it a bug...do I need to do anytefor that...?? Any help...?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zachig:
I think you should have your battery calibrated.

Just enter 'recovery' mode and delete 'Battery Stats'.

Then, boot your phone and let it fully charge once to 100%. Then, while still connected to the charger, launch 'BatteryCalibration' app (can be downloaded for free from the market) and 'calibrate'.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veeruchinnu143:
Thank you boss....yes I forgot to mention...I calibrated my s2. Thank you for ur reply...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zachig:
Oh...OK. I don't have any other idea then...sorry. :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
sometimes, you just gotta let your phone charge for awhile longer,

dont be so rushed to unplug it once it says it's 100%.

SGSII doesnt even need it's battery to be calibrated, i forgot where i saw it, but yea people mention that we dont even need to calibrate it.

so just let your phone charge a tad longer (: and you shouldnt be facing this problem no more.

Stericson has released an update that should fix the issue guys, so to all those that were having problems with WiFi being borked, try again

Actually guys, the problem is still there so do not update busybox for the time being
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Just as you want.

Flash the latest SpeedMod kernel, which is K2-18-test13.

Why do you want to wait?

Good luck !

P.S.:

Will check my PM later.

Test 12....avesome
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
+1

I can confirm that SpeedMod K2-18-test13 is very smooth and the first benchmark results show really good results.

NenaMark2 just gave my a new high score for Test13 running on XWKK5 ROM.

I will post my results after finishing all my tests for this kernel ... in a cut-off comparison list (reduced to only XWKK5 based tests).

Somebody have a problem with screen brightnest,,i mean ,, dont have options to set screen on automatic or manual,,,,confused.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] awojtas:
Exactly the same for me... installed busybox as Font Installer needs it.. nek minnit... Wifi not working
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dzontra11:
Please take a look..after flashing test 13..no option for brightnest.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Vahidmoby:
its not related to kernel

its related to ur battery because is too LOW (under 10 or 5 %)

charge ur phone and it will be back ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dzontra11:
Of course....damn.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawn_pro:
Guys gonna flash T17 today.

Any reviews about its performance ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alcurtis93:
Works well, good battery life. No problems here
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alucine:
@harcore next step, may be, BLN support in K2-T01 ?

Thanks and good job !!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
can you make one without bln also.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jofran2:
BLN please......;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lemondroid:
Highly recommend.

Fast, Stable, Battery (Oh dear battery..!) and smooth.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SERGI.3210:
-what´s the default frequency in this kernel???

- can i control it with any apk like set cpu?i´ve installed it but only can control the tegra freqs... :(

-do not shows the option "autodetect recommended speeds"... i´m confused :o

-can i use tregrak?(tegrak.apk gives to me an error)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:
No oc, no uv support in this kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] criskelo:

please
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
I think BLN is so overrated first its drains more battery then you need other apps to make it to work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] schrickm5:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xinfinityoO:
i agree too

bln = stupid like iphone :D

waste of battery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] IntExCZ:
Are you guys serious?

BLN is the only thing which I am missing on SGS II!

Turning on display and waking phone from deep sleep is much more battery (and time) consuming than BLN.

I really don't understand you...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xinfinityoO:
do you have any infor or graphs etc to show that bln saves battery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
ok when you see you have blinking going on what do you do then you have to wake up your phone and do not forget you have 2 apps running for this hm battery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] IntExCZ:
I didn't say that actual implementation of BLN on SGS II is great.

If you compare BLN on SGS I vs. triggering the phone to see that "nothing new" happened - it is obvious, which one is more battery consuming ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Markos78:
BLN save Battery, i always wake up my phone to see if i have new messages... With my old gs1 i was never doing that.. BLN is a must have.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mdbde:
Problem no option to select auto brightness or custom brightness in menu: plug in the charger and go to the settings where you can set brightness.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
ive got the same issue... wifi trouble...

the real question is... why does Busybox even touch my wifi connectivity settings....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cocchiararo:
im not using your kernel, but just like i sugested when i used speedmod for the SGS1, i think it would be a great idea to have the changelog versions order inverted (newer on top)

:P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
I have not the foggiest idea, can't make the connection at all...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iNeri:
You right, in settings>display>bright option is disabled.

This with stock kk5 and test13 CWM version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
the wifi does still work. u just have to manually add the DNS / GATEWAY / IP RANGE etc in from the Advanced Menu in the wifi menu. Its a temp work around until this issue is fixed for people who know their Wifi details...

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

mine still works

flashed test 13 this morning
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iNeri:
Not big deal, i still use the notification bar and the power widget to manipulate bright,

Edit. Ok i solved the problem by flashing void.charlie and then again test 13 ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks again. You rock man!

I took the risk and went for Speedmod K2-16 last night, couldnt wait you know. And thanks to you, now i'll download the latest one and flash it.

Thanks for you support.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
hi guys. currently i'm on k2-18-test12.

if i wana change it to test13 the latest one, do i have to remove the current kernel?

or just flash the test13 without any changes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zekurosu:
i've been using speedmod k18 test 12 for the past week with CheckROM 3.1.1

works well, so i thought wth i might as well upgrade to test 13

been using it since this morning ... so far so good .. but i've heard that it got some issue with wifi ... will try it later today to confirm.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

just wipe cache and dalvik ... and then just flash test 13
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
hi, whats wipe cache and dalvik :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Those are some of the options you get in CWM recovery. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
wow a new word to me. gotta read more after work later haha.

thanks!

edit: i'm really really new to all these, so pardon me for being kind of ignorant and asking stupid questions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
No worries mate, everyone has to start somewhere. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
haha thanks.

back to my question, did a google and found some info. quoting the website, i believe this is the function mentioned by zekurosu.

but it looks to me that, it is flashing through recovery. is it the same for Odin as well? i'm only using Odin as of now, havent learn flashing via recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zekurosu:
if you root using ChainFire kernels ... then CWM came together as a package .. just boot into recovery ...u'll have the options i've stated before ... in CWM it uses zip files whereas in ODIN it uses tar files
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It's very simple, usually it's recommended to wipe dalvik and cache when flashing themes or mods. When flashing roms, most of the time dev's recommend wiping data as well. Specially if it's a different base.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
i didnt use CF root, but by flashing SpeedMod, as shown in first page it comes with the CWM recovery. let me try booting it later.

so u are saying, all i nid to do is, go into CWM recovery, choose the wipe options, then flash the new kernel and thats it?

haha roms are much more confusing :eek: i'm not gonna go into roms for now.

anyway, so its recommended to always wipe before flashing anything, generally the rule of thumb?

edit: another thing. 17hours+ into usage, smses, on off web surfing, facebook, etc, i'm still left with 51%. is this good?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zekurosu:
go into CWM recovery

wipe cache

go into advance

wipe dalvik

then flash the zip file

******************

thats marvelous dude :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rintenfinten:
Is there any data loss after wiping cache and dalvik?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
so referring to the steps u provided, i'm assuming its not using Odin right?

cause i didnt try anything through CWM recovery before. i'll try that tonight.

so the batt life is good? anyway it was with JD installed. and i've just uninstalled it, maybe i'll charge up 100% tonight, and see if it can last longer hehe. thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KeesStolk:
No data loss when wiping cache or dalvik.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ithehappy:
Yes, no need of Odin. Alternatively you could also use this Kernel cleaning script instead of Wipe Dalvik cache and Cache partition. Thanks to whoever who posted.

Flash this .zip into recovery before flashing a Kernel. Cool.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zekurosu:
i've only use Odin when i encounter a problem and need to revert back to stock ROM ..

after that its CWM all the way coz i dont need the PC anymore .. u can just flash the zip files anywhere

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

yes .. no data lost unless u click the factory reset :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gorillaCF:
hmm ok, CWM Recovery sounds good. but brings me to this question, without a PC, how do u get the .zip files?

download from forum into phone directly? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ithehappy:
?

Download from Opera, Tapatalk, XDA app, plenty options are there!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes.

Without a PC you have no alternative.

Check the "Download" folder on your internal sd card after downloading the zip file.

Good luck !

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
As my tests are not finished yet, it is difficult to say.

But over night the battery loss was good - neither best nor worst.

I had battery loss between 0,99% and 2% per hour with tested kernels, and Test13 had 1,27% battery loss per hour.

Now I am doing my mixed usage (day and night) test.

I will post my results as soon as I am finished.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
well right now i'm addicted to Tiny Tower, so my display is practically on the whole time. Currently at 64% with Display using 2h 14min and on WiFi the whole time.

personally feel that test 13 is so far similar to 12 as 12 was the best for me.

I'm on Simple and Clean 2.4.1 (:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndroidGX:
I would say that test12 is still more efficiant in term of battery drain and performances.

- test12 :

2% lost (deep sleep) in 7h16.

best Quadrant : 48xx

- test13 :

2% lost (deep sleep) in 2h36.

best Quadrant score : 45xx

But in term of normal (everyday) use, I would say drain seems solid with both versions.

In conclusion, my favorite is still test12 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] planetf1:
Running test13 since yesterday, and unlike test 11/12 has been stable so far (both hung within hours).

Battery life seems good - though I'm focussing on whether it's stable for me first, I'd like to see a few days through first.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Namensindschallundrauch:
Hardcore, you are the best! I tested Siyah kernel 2.3 for one day, just for curiousity, but Speedmod works much better for me. Never had a single reboot or stuttering on Speedmod. With Siyah kernel I had several reboots on a single day, scrolling was often stuttering, some videos did't start instantly... Battery time came not even close to Speedmod.

I'm currently on K2-18 test 12 with CheckROM v4 and XXKI4 modem: On battery for 18h 30m, display on 2h 27m, still 61% left (original extended battery). No 3G, just wlan. If power consumption continues constantly I should get about two days with more that 6h display time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] amitoberoi:
Hey guys

Any idea why the screen on is zero whereas the display is 29%. Also why is the time being shown in the horizontal axis is zero.

Edit: battery went fron 100% to 99% and now the screen on being shown is fine and tge x axis is also showing 46 mins. Strange...

Results for SpeedMod / stock kernels

Everything is specific to my phone, my "normal" usage and my home location. Most values are exact results, but some are rounded. I usually have wifi, synch (three email accounts, calendar and news), Google Talk and Skype on.

For SpeedMod kernels, I was running on Frankenstein XWKK5 ROM.

Always using the Samsung's standard / stock 1650mAh battery.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks

Battery stats

So for me (on my phone and with my "normal" usage), there is no big difference between Test12 and Test13.

Subjectively, Test13 seems to be a little bit smoother, so I will run this kernel ... till hardcore publishes a newer SpeedMod kernel version.

Both are on par testing 13 today but I think 12 is better in terms of battery life with 13 being tad smoother, now if Hardcore can combine both I think we'll have the next final version. Cheers matey for these solid kernels that work out of the box.

For me...battery on test 13 is not good like test 12.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MarioOrlando:
Hi.

Thanks for your cool kernel and your development.

I had some issues with Test-13:

1. Lockups when switching between On- and offline mode (or better: can't switch back from off- to online mode)

2. Deep sleep issue; sometimes after booting S2 doesn't enter deep sleep and keeps at 200 MHz (in BetterBatteryStats are no partial wakeups registered)

3. more battery hungry, i would say 10 to 15 %, but this is very hard to determine, I know.

(4. can't use CWM manager [haven't read this thread, sorry if already mentioned or this is intentioned or not to change])

It hope my statement will help you at your development.
