remove all the init.d scripts from v0.8 before flashing latest update.... during v0.8.5 install, there is some cleanup being done to the init scripts... if it doesn't go the way its supposed to.. sod happens... btw i think the default kernel has some issues...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Atomix86:
There is no aosp themed one, if you could that would be smashing.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] YoungMuscle:
I did a fresh install, but I still get SODs.

1. KH3 via ODIN (repartition and everything)

2. Flash 0.8

3. Flash 0.85

4. Reboot

What did I wrong?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huuub:
Use the cleaning script 2.4 and flash the speedmod or phenom. Over it.

I will see what I can find since the Japanese version needs a modified kernel.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] zaphod777:
Okay you can call off the hounds :) I just tested with CM 7.1 with Siyah and I have the same problem so it must be a regression with the kernel :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I had the same problem after flashing 0.8.5 specificly. Whenever the screen locks I get an SOD and had to hard reset.

I think it is a JKay / kernel (Abyss) related problem as it was solved by running GSBlitzer1.6 and flashing Siyah 2.6.13.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zaphod777:
Sleep of death is most likely due to undervolting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
@Everyone who's getting SOD/Black Screen/Lockups etc.

It's most likely your undervolting settings or anything that has to do with kernel. 0.85 update doesn't flash or 'overwrite' your kernel anyway. Like some users suggest, remove all init.d scripts. Use stock voltages. Remove boot settings from Voltage Control/SetCPU, etc. If you doubt the cleaning script that comes with 0.85 is a problem, then move it to sdcard. After booting, run it manually as root using Script Manager. If everything is fine now, configure your settings again.

Running 0.85 and siyah 2.6.13 here. No problems whatsoever. Only thing i noticed is bootup after a dalvik cache wipe taking little longer than 0.8.

If you're still having issues, produce a logcat. Use Alogcat app from market.

Unless you haven't pulled out the battery, you can get a kmesg even after an SOD. In adb shell, cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt.

Produce logcat here, also kmesg (if Luca is interested :) ). Produce logcat and kmesg in your kernel thread for the dev to inspect.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huuub:
I got the sods after clean install without modifying anything. And also not undervolting. If I flash phenomenon 4 extreme over it, no sod anymore. And that kernel is heavily undervolted. So I think it is something different.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
It was a fresh clean installation and didn't do any UV yet.. it is Kernel related as 0.8 didn't have this lock screen problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I strongly agree with the last statement..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
When I run the GM settings from Settings a get the below error. It used to work before and stopped. I cleaned the GM Deamon controller cache and wiped its data from Titanium but the problem persists.

Any clue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I have SetCPU, Voltage Control ans Extweaks installed. Any app could be interfering?!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Atomix86:
Probably SetCPU and VC.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Uninstalled all, SetCPU, voltage control, System tuner and Extweaks and still same problem.. :(

Please advise
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huuub:
Do yourself a favor, uninstall all those VC, setCPU etc.... apply the kernel cleaner and install Phenomenal 4.0 Extreme
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I did man but in vain. I will try the cleaning scripts anyway. My SG2 doesn't tolerate Phenomenal Extreme very anyway..

The reason I install these because I see no combo tool gives u all controls specially Governor parameters (SetCPU)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Here is logcat for the GM deamon failure..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Im on the autobus to go to university so i cannot carefully read xD

To be sure Oc daemon is running you should remove ALL other CPU settings programs and reboot TWICE!

its wrote in the description! :)

About SOD, I dunno, ill look if its only a fault of the Abyss kernel...but shouldn't cause in 0.8 did well o.O

If you're facing SOD, can you test for example going in Siyah WITHOUT WIPE SCRIPTS??

Thx :)

Luca, have you seen the official release of ICS (KIES version) on Sammobile? =]

When you said that you needed the official sources for you to be able to make a ICSMOD, is this what you meant?

Have a nice day!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
What I noticed is that the JKay settings were different in 0.8.5 vs 0.8. I recorded them and reverted them after I installed 0.8.5 but still was facing SOD as soon as the screen locked each time. It was only solved by applying Siyah..

As for OC I will try the mentioned solution and feed u back..

Thanks man for such a really great ROM.. :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Luca unfortunately it gives the same error after uninstalling all CPU and Voltage control programs and after 2 reboots :-(

I think it is Java related runtime error.. would you please have a look at the log when u r free..

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] suhail_kapoor:
I updated gingermod last night and was getting SOD with default kernel. I then updated to siyaah .13 kernel and stability increased but realised in morning that phone had an SOD overnight.

So I again pulled out battery, restarted n went into CPU settings. Realised that under sleep minimum was set at 100000 which I have now changed to 200000. This has resulted in a rock solid phone with no more sod.

Ill try and revert it to 100000 later today and see if dual reboot post siyaah install fixed the issue.

Just wanted to share so that other members who are facing sod can benefit.

Cheers

Sorry for the delay, i should have done this a long time ago.

Thanks for the update and all the best.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheMatrix2000:
Because a lot of people have Checkrom HD v6 on there phones i also installed it for 2 weeks or so, but i quickly switched back to gingermod.

i did a clean v0.8 install and without a reboot i installed v0.8.5 over it. I also had SOD's. Then i installed NEAK 1.4.1 and voltage control, deleted 2 scripts in init.d (OC- and Kernel-scripts), rebooted a few times and cleaned dalvik, cache, batterystatts, fixed permissions and voila, works like a charm.

v0.8.5 with NEAK 1.4.1 = TOP :):):):)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Is the GM CPU settings app working fine with you? Are u using NEAK default governor and scheduler?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beren:
does anybody know if luca is going to release some ics based rom like gingermod? tried stock ics but couldn't force myself to use TW..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Hopefully he will do it soon unless he already has something under his sleeves :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
About ICS...

I really want to do a REAL Aosp...I-m following the development of Developers WAY WAY BEtter than me! (AdamG codeworkx and XpLoDWild) Cause I'm really not good in kernels and drivers xD

If also samsung does not release sources in time (apart that this is my LAST samsung device OBV XD) I'll do an Aospized Samsung ICS...but will always be an "half" work...

Now I'm testing Stock LPQ and man...THATS ****! :O

(I'ts mainly Gingerbread with cool app switcher xD)

Mmmh can you test if setting the heapsize at a greater number (like 90 or more) will cause again FC?

In logcat nothing of relevant, but seems also something related to su O.o

Anyway try that!

MANY MANY THANkS! :D

Really appreciate it! :D

Well many here really likes touchwiz (ewwwk :( ) dunno why XD So TW Based roms are REALLY more popular than Aospized and True Aosp... really cant understand but...tastes are tastes lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Yeah, LPQ really sucks...even the light version....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beren:
i'd like to see more an Aospized rom than a real aosp because even if the tw is disgusting me, i like sammy's extra features and don't want to bother with camera or other issues...that's why i am waiting for miui4 or your "icsMOD" and for gokhan's new kernel ;)

I agree with you about LPQ, tried yesterday and gone back to gingermod :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Well yeah on GB the meaning of gingerMod existence was to have a stable and bugless aosp basing on samsung work...

BUT If we can have a TRUE opensource kernel like XPLOD is doing...will bring us not only flawless Aosp (will require SURELY hard work! But its worth! ) but also so many possibilities (like the possibility of making a native Ubuntu/Backtrack that NOT runs in chroot)

Also adding Samcrap stuff on aosp is easy...all extras that I have in ota, 80% works on ANY rom of ANY android phone :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
just out of curiosity Luca what is your next phone that you will be getting?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Well like we say here in italy "I dont **** money" (non caco soldi) xD

In the sense, this phone has to last for at least another year and an half ahahah xD

After that ANY phone that will be NEXUS xD Hoping will be not LG ahahah xD
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
the app is in /system/app obv is TheGMCpu-settings.apk

the process is cc.co.ascentdavao.DSUI

To me works flawlessy...really cant see the problem O.O
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I had a look and the process dir /data/data/cc.co.ascentdavao.DSUI/ only contains a lib dir which is empty. Is this normal anyway?

Also selecting to reinstall the /system/app/TheGMCpu-Settings.apk it gives "Application not Installed"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Yes both are normal...

first because it only goes to "echo" to the files in /system/etc/virtuous_oc to set the clocks and governors

second because is a system signed app not an user app so it cant be "normally" installed :D

to be sure all is working also check for:

75OCDaemon in /system/etc/init.d

virtuous_oc in /system/xbin

the folder virtuous_oc in /system/etc and that there are all the files in!

Maybe thats the cause
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
All config files there in /system/etc/virtuous_oc (6 files) with 644 permissions

75OCDeamon is not there in /system/etc/init.d !!!

virtious_oc file found in /system/etc with 755 permission

So i believe the problem is with the 75OCDeamon file not present in /system/etc/init.d???

How can i get it and place it there?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Take it from the zip of GM0.8, put it here with root explorer and chmod it like the.others and reboot twice :D should go!

U can try replacing tw with nova launcher its one of the best
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Well on sam**** firmware launcher is not the problem ...

The problem are

The crappy gallery.from gb ..

The crappy integration of contacts

Various crapware applications

Crappy video editor (inferior to the Google one)

Crappy UI look (its not the launcher, but status bar, settings, icons, tones, lockscreen...)

Its simply a Crappy implementation ... was barely accettable to me on.gb....really a plague on ics...

Its ok as Ui overall..

Wrongly implemented on ics...ITs like they our Ginger over ics...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I did get the file "74OCDeamon" from the 0.8 Zip archive and placed it in /system/etc/init.d. Rebooted twice and tried again and it forced closed again!!!

I noticed that one of the 6 files created under /system/etc/virtuous_oc which was for the WakeUpGov was empty. Anyway deleted all of them and re-launched GMCpuSettings

and voila it finally did work without any FCs :-)

Thank you so much Luca for solving that stupid problem..

I have some few questions:

1- From the 0.8 Zip archive there were some other /etc/init.d files like 01efs, 02sysctl, 09zpa, 75DualCore, 90KernelTweaks and 99complete. Shouldn't they be in the /etc/init.d too to run with the system startup? Were they removed or deleted like the 74OCDeamon script?

2- As you recommend not to install any CPU control apps like SetCPU, Voltage Control, ExTweaks, CPU Master, System Tuner,.... and just use GMCpuSettings. How do we have to change our CPU/GPU Voltages, Bus Freqs, Scheduler,... settings as far as GMCpuSettings does not support that?

I re-installed Voltage Control after i got GMcpusettings working again. I applied Magic Config settings for CPU/GPU freqs and bus speeds. Saved the settings (but not on /etc/init.d) using the recommended one and still the GMcpusettings is running normally.

I think this point needs some clarification..

But anyway thanks again for your help.. I really like your ROM for its simplicity, speed and stability and waiting to see your AOSP ICS based ROM soon..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
GB to the trash can, officially! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huuub:
Tried ICS, not to fluid, does not always respond to my touches (WHAT I REALLY HATE)... Certainly gmail and some other apps improved, but battery is worse. (I undervolted however).

Got some problems some apps do not install :s.

What should be a BIG update is... Well... ...

Keep us informed Luca on what to use ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
GB wont be in the trash can until ICS becomes bugless... which will take a while.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jankhner:
here are couple of pictures of my battery stats if someone could determine what is the reason for my heavy battery drain. I haven't used much my phone, only couple of calls, ~15minutes of Dragonfly, couple of SMS's..

Thanks in advance! I don't understand these things.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
sorry but...

22h and still 50% is battery drain? O.o

Anyway the only drainer seems to be google maps from your battery stats!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jankhner:
no, i charged my phone when the battery got empty after ~17 hours :)

but thanks for your help, i think next i'll try to re-calibrate my battery to see if that helps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kawa636r:
I'm trying today after battery calibration.... seems to be better... ill let you know in few hours....

But this Rom it's fantastic.... remains only to change phone and contacts dialer.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
And lockscreen xD

Thats wat most bother me as contacts/dialer are easly themed...

lockscreen not...

Probably I should just port JKay theme extras :-/

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lfcorullon:
Hi Luca.

There is a way to be able to use "samsung account" for manage phone and send me notification when the SIM card is changed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
mmm do you use TWlauncher, cause without it is unuseful as they dont work on AOSP or any custom launcher!

Yes of course!

I will release a samsung account feature pack to have it!

Right now I'm working also on Milestone rom (my original love xD) and also on SGS2 for next rom...

I'm working on OTA updates and OTA extras (a little bit like LeoMar kitchen but more in ClockworkManager style)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lfcorullon:
You're the man!

I had used your product for some time, but in my phone there were many problems and went back to my backup. Now with the new version, many things seem to have improved! Congratulations! Nice work! It will be great when all the issues can be solved (as the option to lock screen backgrounds that forces the closure of the settings).

Go, Luca!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jankhner:
i'll still continue about my battery issue. I fully charged my phone and re-calibrated it with the app included on this rom. Now after 11 hours it's still on 92% although i haven't done anything with it on that time! I think that's quite good!

thanks Luca, keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kawa636r:
Ok, i think that battery trouble was fixed by running battery calibration tool.... i have another question for you, luca....

It's possible to speedup charging time by tweaking kernel or something else?

I think that some people will love this feature..... using stock Samsung charger 700mah or 1000mah charger its the same thing at the moment.... there is something that limit the charging power
[Galaxy S II Android Development] natosoup:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] joelteixeira:
Luca,

Thank you for your work, the idea is absolutely great. I come from Nexus S, then Optimus 2x and I love th stock android UI. I can't really complain about TouchWiz, I think is the best personalization compared to LG, Motorola or HTC, but I still liking stock android more.

I was using Lite'ning Rom (great) and now I'm playing with Cyanogen (outdated signature). I had a amazing experience with CM7 on Nexus S but it's not exactly ready for SGS2 (or Optimus 2x) but it's getting better fast.

I'll keep an eye on your work and after playing a little more with Cyanogen I'll take sometime to try the same AOSP experience from CM7 without giving up the improvements from samsung.

Keep up the good work mate.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hunteres:
i like your build a lot. its smooth and more less bug free. only small cosmetic issues - like dialer etc. not big deal. all running well. i coudlnt test battery but i am more then sure it will be excellent. nice work and keep it up mate. i am rolling back to kitchen. thanks anyway.

/respect
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
but

did you wipe coming to this rom?

If yes did you restore system app data with your backup app?

If yes please perform again the wipe and then retry WITHOUT restoring system data apps!

If you already did it and still does as this, please send logcat of the event so I can see the bug and remove it :D

I think no-one beats sense xD Except for vanilla xD

Yes, after this project I will start my own AOSP one, as I did also on My other device!!

Cn you say me the glitch in dialer? Or you mean the not-so-aosp look (in this case you're sadly right ç_ç)

About battery life...I'm working and porting some sweets from HTC Sensation!

Battery life will be better form next releases :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Techvir:
Luca,

A request from before, can u consider adding the screen shot option in power menu ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Nope, I'm trying to rest as close as possible to AOSP is already "out" of aosp the reboot options for screenshot you can use the built in Samsung function when you enable the feature pack!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
If I remember well I wrote in 3rd post (where I explain) you CAN use voltage control but DO NOT use to manipulate frequencies! :D

TO manipulate voltages/GPU/Charging ok but not the clock :D

About the scripts its because you run script cleaner xD You've wiped the folder so they are not present xD
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
:-) ok got it man.. but that also apply for GPU frequencies?

So I have to extract them and move them back all to /system/etc/init.d? Right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
yeah also gpu :D

About script yes, but remember to set all permissions :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheMatrix2000:
When i was on NEAK 1.3x i used the GM CPU settings and it worked well but you must delete the kernel tweaks script under /etc/init.d. That script is for the stock kernel of GingerMod and does not work with NEAK.

At the Moment i use Voltage Control with NEAK 1.4.1 and not the OC-Deamon.

Frequency range i use is 200-800 Mhz with no undervolting (UV doesn't do much, actually UV does more harm then benefit. Freezes and even battery drain)

The Governor i use is Conservative with Lionheart tweaks.

Scheduler i use is noop.

With the Neak configurator app i have enabled the options: SCHED_MC, AFTR Idle Mode and the Ext4 Boost Optimisation.

I use Nemus Launcher which is simple, relative fast and battery friendly. I have 7 Home screens with many Widgets and 350 Programs installed.

With these settings in combination with GingerMod v0.8.5 my phone runs smooth, fast and batteryfriendly and important, i don't have any freezes, reboots, SODs or whatever strange things.;););););)

yesterday 0.85 worked just fine, but 2 hours ago it started bugging around.

sometimes the s2 doesnt want to wake up.

when i press the on button nothing happens. only thing i can do then is pull the batterie.

tried to call the phone when this happened and on the phone i called it with it rings, but nothing happens at the s2.

also i get this bug everytime now i put it to sleep.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheMatrix2000:
Quite wright !!!!

Wich governor and scheduler are you using with speedmod to get best battery ??

You must not use the phone very much at all then.

Logged using an SGS2 type droid while exploring CheckROM V6 quadrant on a research & rescue operation.......
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I had the same problem after applying the 0.8.5 update. Every time the screen locks i the home button becomes irresponsive and it is like an SOD and i have to hard reset by pressing the Power button.

I think some users also had the same issue. Anyway i managed to solve it by flashing Siyah 2.6.13 #122 and the problem was gone. I am not sure if it has to do with the default Abyss Kernel or JKay settings (They are different in 0.8.5 then 0.8, however reverting them to 0.8 didnt solve the problem).

Try flashing Siyah or any other kernel and feedback.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huuub:
Luca maybe it is usefull to clear this problem out in the OP. Just installing 0.8 after doing a full wipe and install 0.8.5 over it causes this prob to.

Maybe you can adjust the update, doing some cleaning, readding the correct init.d files??? So it can be fixed by applying the update?

It is a pitty people would ga away to another ROM because of this Luca.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
I think this kernel thing with Gingermod has to be clarified from Luca. As far as i know NEAK is not ready to work with an AOSP ROM and Simone was just stating that he will start working on an AOSP version of NEAK 1.4.1 (He actually post it as coming soon on his NEAK Thread).

Luca can you clarify this kernel / AOSP ROM combination.. which kernels can run on your AOSP ROM and which not?
