Hi guys

Silly question but here goes....Ive rooted my phone using cf root on a stock 2.3.5 ki4 rom. All works well but I would now like to flash a kernal like this so I can use options like bln ect. Whats the best way to flash this? Can I just use odin like before or do I place the tar on the sd card and use the flash kernal option in cwm.

I downloaded darkysrom 2 tool like the first page says but its dosnt really tell me how to use it. Sorry to ask all this ( I hate being a noob ) but Id love a little advice.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
whatever you choose is OK, you already have cwm installed if you rooted with cf root, so just place .tar to your sdcard and flash kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ogy77:
Its risk flash this kernel with CWM,and what version you recommended?Thanx I press buton for help:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No risk. Just flash, 2.1.1 is stable release, 2.2beta4 is stable beta.Try beta and if you experience problems go to release.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] stephen2529:
Thanks for the quick reply. I thought this might be the case but just wanted to be sure before I jumped in. Bln will be a great option to have. Im also after changing a few things like notification bar icons and switches, is this possible using this kernal or could you recommend ways to do this? if its too off topic dont worry Ill keep searching. Thanks again for the advice
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
nothing to do with kernel, but theme, go to themes and apps forum or use uot kitchen to create your own.

@gokhanmoral:

Thanks for updating the changelog :).

I reported the iptables-segfault to the Tor- / Orbot-bugtracker now, those who are interested in a (less quick and dirty) resolution can track any progress here:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4444

(Yes, they really assigned the ticket-id to be 4444 ;-) ).

EDIT: Judging from the amount of tickets, any progress might take some time there ;-).

A small warning to all the Orbot-users out there: According to another ticket, Orbot REMOVES all 'foreign' iptables-entries when it is activated and deactivated, thus killing droidwall and others. Only chains 'survive'. Please keep that in mind and reapply Droidwall-rules after closing Orbot!

So, you're saying the init.d scheme posted here is completely useless if using lulz?:

Afaic I would tell you to flash zip format thru recovery. I have tried to flash tar by CWM Manager with no success. But it may be just me!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
More changelogs for beta5.

Last one says "tweaked lulzactive". Hope the sleep profile frequency is modified so that wake up lag disappears.

@Gokhan, could you please tell me why is Voltage Control not showing frequency stepping down and staying at 25 mhz with lulzactive. It shows freq reaching 200 mhz. Doesn't show 25. (My steps are 25,200,500,800,1000,1200,1400,1600).With ondemandx, i can see freq reaching 25 mhz though.

I remember SetCpu also showed stepping to 25 mhz correctly with lulzactive. (Different version of Siyah then, ditched setcpu now)

Edit: CpuSpy shows time spent in 25 mhz correctly. So Voltage Control and lulzactive don't like each other? :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ogy77:
Ok thank you one more time but what this mean-

the one with "ntt" in the filename is NTT DoCoMo SC-02C version. do not flash it if you have EU version???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
Afaik, it's the Japanese version of SGS2.

Those who has the international/European model : i9100 should not flash ntt docomo version or else you will be screwed.

where is v2.2 beta5 ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] energie:
beta 5 just released!

since this says:

changed cwm installation method. we do not have cache & dalvik-cache cleared anymore.

do we have to manually wipe them?

Oh right. Ok so I load the zip onto the sd card and can flash using cwm instal kernal ? could I also just plase the tar in to pda on odin and flash like that?

And how do you do it? Because I simply cannot record properly.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
It's SO laggy that it does not even register touch sometimes.. Feels like I'm dragging a 100 Kgs, trying to get the app drawer to scroll lol!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] energie:
EDIT: no lag scrolling pages on MIUI but ultra lag on web browsing and program scrolling\browsing :/

what happened? :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Molitro:
And also here.

In addition, the scripts don't seem to load anymore. -> Edit: Nah, my bad.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CekMTL:
That is weird... Scrolling through screens is working very smoothly, but if i bring the general view i can actually see how the pixels get drawn :p

Weird behavior ; the rest feels ossom for now.

Ps: even overclocking to the max cpu + gpu doesn't get rid of this problem... Weird...

Will keep investigating!

Now THE question to guess is if it ONLY happens with GO, or there are other launchers suffering from the same kind of issue...

Fine here.. Huh strange. What exactly is lagging for you guys?

I'm using Zeam.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
Confirmed on ADW Launcher Ex as well: App drawer is extremely laggy with B5. Lulzactive/sio here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] apeiron6:
The launcher lagg started with the first beta release of 2.2. On 2.1.1. everything smooth. Thanks for the kernel :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Molitro:
I'm also using ADW Ex, and tried with both lulz and ondemand. Both as laggy.

The funny thing is that everything else runs fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
This is not completely accurate, was not laggy at all on previous 2.2Beta4. Let's keep the reporting consistent as otherwise, it'll only confuse the issue for our devs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] terenceleechan:
Laggy scrolling on galnet miui ics. Also beta 5 broke SD card mounting in recovery. Had to flash back to beta4 using tar in darkyrom tool

Everything else is fine.. Only app drawer is EXTREMELY laggy.. Gone back to b4 for now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CekMTL:
Thank you for your reply!

Hummm very interesting, maybe it could have something to do with

" updated mali and ump drivers (I could not notice any performance improvement, but maybe you will)"

Maybe it affects these launchers in some unexpected ways, or maybe they use some broken functions?

Ps: not complainimg here at all, just grateful to Gokhan, and hoping to help somehow.

Totally awesome kernel ....

No lag CM7 #107 and Launcher Pro.

Thank you very much ...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iron@ss:
Installed 2.2beta5 with no problem, using Recovery (not CWM).

Installed fine with NO WIPE. Booted straight away.

Using it with Checksum Revolution ROM 2.0 and Launcher Pro. Using Dynamic hotplug in 2nd Core.

No lag in app drawer or browser. HD (1080p) video recording/playback is OK.

Am using it in conjunction with SetCPU on smartassv2, no profiles and stock voltage.

Should I be using SetCPU with this kernel and 2nd Core?

All good so far for me! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
did you try to "restore from internal sdcard"?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aegeuss:
Confirmed lagging; super kernel with "2nd core" app but I have lag on KJ2 with LaunchePro unfortunately, I did not have it in the previous b4 beta.

Regards.

Eline sağlık Gökhan tekrar :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I removed "CONFIG_CFS_LOWLATENCY" and the lag may be related with that change.

however, I feel the new version is more responsive when scrolling in applications or browser.

I am using MIUI now and the lag may be more noticeable in samsung roms though...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
Interesting, launcher pro and zeam look to be ok, but go launcher and adw launcher ex are super laggy.

Just flashed back to beta4 via CWM (gokhan is right, you have to choose internal SD from the menu) and all is well/super smooth again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
"Noticable" is not the word I would use :P The lag is HUGE! It's unusable! Could we have a version with that change reverted? :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CekMTL:
I do agree it is very smooth except for that tiny problem.

I will keep testing.

I've read that on cm they encountered the same kind of lag after adding the new gpu opensource drivers. I wonder what's wrong with those, apparently bechmarks are slightly worse but games run faster and smoother...maybe it's something worth investigating ;)

I just installed go launcher ex and theres no lag at all. Default settings. Try wiping cache/dalvik and/or reinstalling go launcher.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Deodexed kj3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
So, is it safe to say the lag so far has only affected odexed ROMs? I'm going to flash beta5 again and force a dalvik cache wipe. Will report back to see if that fixes it.

EDIT: Nope still laggy even after a dalvik cache wipe. 2.2beta5 + XWKJ3 stock/odexed ROM + lulzactive/sio. Going back to beta4 makes things smooth again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toxicOne:
fine thank you....

cu toxicOne
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
I'm not seeing any lag with KJ3 odexed although I'm using the TW launcher.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
Yeah, something with the stock odex ROM + certain launchers. I think I read that TW Launcher actually has HW gfx support while the aftermarket ones do not. So, something with beta5 breaks it for odex ROMs and aftermarket launchers.

If you don't mind, could you install Go Launcher or ADW Launcher and see if the app drawer becomes super laggy?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TKLex:
Hello Everyone,

Just a feedback on Siyah 2.2b5 and Nemus Launcher.

Where 2.2b1 works very well on XXKI4 Deodexed with Nemus Launcher, it's very laggy with 2.2b5.

If I Switch back to touchwiz, everything is fine so I assume the issue is between Nemus Launcher et Siyah 2.2b5.

I'm using Lulzactive / SIO and some OC/Frequency/UV tweaks. But even If I switch to performance governor, the Launcher is very laggy.

Hope it helps...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] frankcilo:
For me no lag with Launcher pro
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kwakkel:
I have a lag when I go to the app drawer. My launcher is ADW Launcher Ex. I use Exynos 7.2, a deodexed 2.3.5 ROM. A wipe of the Dalvik cache did not make any difference. The drawer still lags.

Back to 2.2b3
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chadouming:
Still not beating me :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
Guys, another thing that will affect gfx performance: For those that are laggy, are you using Chainfire3D drivers?

I am, and I'm seeing lag. Please provide feedback, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kwakkel:
I have never installed Chainfire3D drivers. But maybe they come with the ROM. Is there a method to see if you use these drivers?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Go Launcher is pretty laggy. Didn't use it for long but swiping from screen to screen definitely was not as buttery smooth as TW.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
If you've never installed it, then you don't have it. And you're getting lag, so that's not it.

Slowly crossing out items one at a time. Back to beta4 again, butter smooth... strange!

Everything ok, no lag on Batista Foxhound 2.5 + Launcher Pro + no Chainfire3D drivers installed

Im very satisfied with this kernel.Everything runs smooth and fast and im using Go Launcher.I have a question though... how can i change the charging speed ???

Its mentioned in the description that you can change it.Says that the charging speed is increased but i want to change it to normal because i made an experiment between one normal charge and a during the night charge ( almost 7 hours .. since i go to sleep to waking up) and heavy usage after.I came to the conclusion that if i keep it longer plugged in it charges better :)

Can someone explain how to change that ?

so weird about this kernel. im on cm7 nightly105. used siyah 2.1.1 but had lag issues in games and ui with almost every governor except conservative. using 2.2beta5 now and it is still the case. i have tried clean install with wipe and everything but the case remains.

on another note, why would the 2nd core app provide any performance increase when selecting dual core mode. i've tested it and didn't notice anything. IMO the 2nd core wakes up fast enough that i can't notice it ever being offline.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] incubus_fr:
I'm not convinced by Beta5 on CM7 #107. Laggy on Go Launcher Ex and scrolling. Back to Beta4.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
5.1 solves it.

It was odd though, it was literally only the launcher lagging (ADW), games were fine.

Loving the support for 2nd core app. Whilst I don't particularly care about potential battery improvement, disabling one core appears to mitigate the problems with SoundPool ( http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623 ), great for some Galcon action ... with sound!

5.1 is smooth. Could reproduce the lag in 5.0, but not in 5.1, it depended on what you were using it, very subtle and tricky.

I also tested the drivers in GLBenchmark, Electopia, NenaMark2; all show no noticeable difference.

I also noticed Quadrant score jumped up 1200 points somewhere between 2.1f and 2.2b5.1.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tvhak:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
that increase was to eliminate the unfair judgement for the kernel when using different ROMs.

some people call it cheating, some people call it tweaking.

some people were getting 4700+ quadrant while others were getting 4200+ and that caused lots of people to change ROMs. what a waste of time for them...

now everybody will get the same result because some tests in quadrant are "boosted" lets say :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
