GingerMod is not pure aosp. It's aospized. Siyah, Neak, Fecality, Speedmod, Redpill, CF root, Lulz can all run GM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Ok makes sense. thanks for clarifying out this point however when you install another kernel than the default one (Abyss) like Siyah, NEAK, Speedmod,.... What files under /etc/init.d should be kept or restored back from the following:

01efs, 02sysctl, 09zpa, 74OCDeamon, 75DualCore, 90KernelTweaks and 99complete?

the 90KernelTweaks of course has to be gone to keep the installed kernel defaults, but what about the other files?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darknessmessiah:
I was having the SOD after installing the 0.85 and solved it by installing Siyah over it...

Never had SOD after that :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sumpf2:
Just what I was going to say :D

I used simones neak kernel with 0.8 for quite a time and it worked just fine.

I had a great time with this Rom, but Though I'm not using gingermod anymore. My s2 is now running final ics Rom with nova launcher on top :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] =jon=:
Has anyone else lost their calendar since the upgrade from 0.8 to 0.85?

I was using the TW calendar and email on 0.8, since flashing 0.85 I no longer have any calendar application at all :( Email works fine though, and calendar sync is happening because the calendar widget shows events... Calendar.apk exists in /system/app, but doesn't appear to have installed..

Calendar notifications don't seem to work either, and when they are triggered you get lots of wakelocks and the battery goes down very very quickly :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dark Emotion:

Luca

I have a question concerning Kernels that can be installed with Gingermod. Flashing a new kernel like Siyah or NEAK wipes all the startup ROM files under /etc/init.d. should these files restored back after flashing a new kernel or they would interfere with it?

01efs, 02sysctl, 09zpa, 74OCDeamon, 75DualCore, 90KernelTweaks and 99complete?

I would have wanted to keep the default Abyss kernel with Gingermod but the Lock Screen blackout problem pushed me to install Siyah which is going well with GM. However i decided to try NEAK 1.4.1 and i had a continuous CPU load that kept eating and heating my battery (48° C) even when screen is off!!! And it was not a specific process..

Would u please clarify this point and give ur recommended kernel to be installed with ur ROM other than Abyss.

Thanks

Here is my first battery run with Siyah 2.6.13 + Magic Config on GM 0.8.5 :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sandip.banik:
How do u get so much??? I never get that display time and battery life..my phone lasts me 30+hours..but say around 3hours of display

:eek:

EDIT:- minimal usage..30mins of fone calls..a few texts..no games..no 2g/3g
[Galaxy S II Android Development] suhail_kapoor:
Did u try using juice defender like he does ?

Its available in the market .. and free version works well
[Galaxy S II Android Development] albsat:
Is there a way to add the circle animation during call answering or unlock screen like in ICS?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Well, will brief u with my experience humble findings:

1- Try changing from stock ROM as they say it is full of crap and bloatware. It runs a lot of background services that are not really important and keeps consuming ur battery juice. Gingermod is a light and stable ROM that was recommended by Gokhan. Others are excellent too like CheckROM HD, Turkbey, Villain,...

2- Stop installing unneeded apps. I went from 300 user + system apps in Stock ROM to around 150 apps with GM. I realized I had a lot of apps that are nice to install but I don't use them actually.

3- try to find out the best ROM/Kernel dueto as they behave differently per each combination. For me GM/Siyah 2.6.13 gave the best performance / battery life.

4- Tweak your kernel to get the most out of it in terms of Gov / Scheduler, CPU freq range, GPU, voltages,... Magic Config 0.3.2 really does its Magic. I use it + Conservative / Noop with Lionheart. 200-800/1000 MHz CPU + all power saving tweaks on (Sched-mc, AFTR,...)

5- You can also tweak Gov parameters settings towards battery + Loadh & Loadl in Extweaks by Gokhan.

6- Use Juice Defender as it really saves a lot of battery juice. Some people says it actually drain ur battery but I found on the contrary it is a good battery saving app.

7- adjust your brightness to the lowest readable + stop devices like Bluetooth and GPS when not needed.

8- Use WiFi when available instead of 2G/3G as it consumes far less battery.

9- Make sure u have good coverage as bad coverage consumes a lot of battery.

10- Don't OC over 1.2 GHz as it is really not needed. SG S2 has more than enough power even at 800 & 1000 MHz.

Hope this helps u. I am currently testing V6 SuperCharger scripts for better memory and apps management and will see how this affects my beloved SG S2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sandip.banik:
Thanks you for the explanation ...will surely follow as you say..even i am using N.E.A.K and following the magic-config..was on SLIM ICS ..just switched back to Gingermod..will keep tweaking as much as possible.. Thanks !! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Do not turn on sched_mc. I have already explained the reason in my thread. Sched_mc is purely redundant on hot-plugging with value 1 and delays hitting deep idle states with value 2 (because of overloading first core). Disable sched_mc.

About juice defender, think this way: You have an app that's running all the time in background doing stuffs like - checking to turn off wifi/3g when screen is off, possible wakelocks, etc. How does it possibly save battery? If we're careful enough and knows how to tweaks settings to match our usage pattern, then there's no need of an app to save juice.

Battery saving during Screen-ON is dependent on i) Brightness ii) GPU Frequency/Thresholds/StayCounts, iii) Bus Frequencies. Reduce brightness, tweak GPU, and use static bus frequencies (if you're fine with a few dropped frames during GUI rendering, otherwise use default dynamic bus frequency scaling). Undervolting can not do too much on saving battery. Clubbed with stability issues which can cause occasional freeze/reboot, UV drains battery more than what's saved if such freezes should occur.

Two more things for better efficiency: 1) 200 mhz is more energy efficient than 100 mhz. 2) When CPU is hotplugged, it's better and efficient to use single core until 800mhz and two cores (depending on the load) there after. In Siyah this can be achieved by setting freq_cpu1on to 800000 (and enable hotplugging ofcourse!)

Battery Saving During Screen-OFF is dependent on Race-To-Idle principle. How fast can the CPU hit idle, deep-idle and then deep sleep states is the question. This is achieved by: Setting loadh_scroff to 100% so that Core 2 can not be active during screen-off. Once load on Core 1 is taken off, it can hit didle states aftr/lpa without having to wait for core 2 to turn-off.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Thank you so much Droidfile about this valuable information. I am not using 100 MHz speed as you suggested. Concerning sched-mc I disabled it (Set value to 0) and will see as I am not happy with Scroff battery consumption anyway. I used to keep my battery status without any drain for more than 2 hours, now I loose like 5-8% during a 5-6 hours night sleep! So maybe this might be the problem.

Concerning JD I know it produces a lot of Wake locks but when I disabled it before with stock ROM I experienced a fast battery drain. However I will disable it with GM and see what will happen. :)

Thanks again and will let you know..

Hate to say this but juice defender beta, ultimate saves me a lot of power.

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Me too and I love to say it :)

I disabled it for an hour and as expected the battery drain curve went steeper because nothing is controlling WiFi and data usage anymore.

I reenabled it again.. I really experience far better battery saving with JD Ultimate :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huuub:
I tried Toggle 2G/3G for a while. It is free and all respect to the creator. He did a very decent job. The data connection 2G/3G (wifi also) always on is causing a lot of drain for me!!

I use JD basically for controlling this, not for my governor or CPU settings. (the screen brightness settings are awfull bad!)Although you need to buy it (and a bit expensive!) if you want all the options you need. If you tweak it it saves you more battery then you might think!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
@Luca, kernel sources out. Ready to start your ICS magic? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I totally agree with you as I use it for the same purpose. I have the paid app however for the free version are the Aggressive and Extreme profiles available?

If yes you can use one of them. I use the Extreme profile which disables all connectivity when screen off while having a whitelist for apps that you want to enable connectivity for using Interactive or Configure options.. :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Check launcher preferences for this option.

Thats what i thought, dont you launch the launcher and then press settings for this menu? I launch it and it takes me to phone settings and i cant seem to find this option anywhere.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Simba501:
If you're using a stock launcher, it won't have settings. I don't know of a stock launcher with configurable settings. Your best bet is to go third-party; there are a bunch of good ones, like zeam.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
If you can't find it then try using a different launcher as simba suggested... some recommended ones are ADW Launcher EX and Go Launcher EX. Find them in the market.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] darknessmessiah:
Luca, I just wanted to know if you plan to release a ICS Mod...

Cyanogen is very nice but they focus too much on being AOSP than of it being fully functional... The other options we have on the forum, while removing or keeping samsung's, they put other software they find useful...

And I don't care having some Sammy's software while it's not possible to remove then...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Hi!

Yes i'm planning to do a release buy well .... I'm planning to be even more faithful to Aosp :) not even the power Widgets or those enhancement... only pure Google when possible...

Right now I'm downloading the sources (6 gigs) the problem is that they take like 12hours to make a build with my crappy PC lol xD

I'm not doing an aospized... first because I really find Samsung firmware buggy as hell, and second cause if you go in the other forum you find at least 6 Roms Samsung with holo theme...so its useless to me to put effort in it

With Samsung firmware i will work with my team (ItalianCustomStyle) first of all concentrating on doing an uberstable firmware and trying to do something different from a stock rom + Holo theme

So possibly moronic lack of RTFM by me but I had 0.8 installed and installed the 0.8.5 update via CWM. Now after 5 minutes or so of being on my phone will not wake up (no buttons turn on the screen)

If I ring it, the phone does not respond and it just rings through.

Was I supposed to install this in some other way?

edit: lol christ. Tried to install 0.8 back over it and I no longer get the sleep of death... but I have no keyboard.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darknessmessiah:
Did you factory reset, clear Dalvik and all?

I had problems with installing 0.8 as well... factory resetting it and installing the 0.85 update solved the issue... try it :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] adante111:
I just tried factory reset, install 0.8, install 0.8.5. SOD persists.

I also read some people got rid of SOD by installing SiyahKernel 2.6.13 (they mention #122 but I don't know what they are referring to?). I can't find 2.6.13 anymore but I have tried installing 2.6.14. When I do this the boot process never goes past the "android" screen.

I know it might sound creepy, but, could we have 0.85 in one package? I m still on 0.7 and i'm afraid passing to 0.8 and 0.85 might break something. :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huuub:
Make an NAND backup and you can experiment away???

Then full wipe...

If you backup all your apps with Titanium backup what is keeping you away?

After flashing 0.85 over .8 you probably have to reflash another kernel because of SOD. Phenomenal 4 extreme works wonderfull with mine for perf/battery.

All you need is in my signature :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darknessmessiah:
Is this Phenomenal better than Siyah's?
