I'm not familiar with root explorer... is there an option to mount /system as rw? On our phones, "/etc" is actually a link to /system/etc, so that should work.

I'm able to delete the file (and put it back) with no issue using ES Explorer when configured to run as a root explorer with write perms on /system.

You could also have some fun and adb shell, su (if you aren't already set as superuser via a non-secure ROM), remount the /system mount as rw, delete the file, etc, etc. Probably easier to just use an explorer-like tool, though. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desiromeo719:
Ok got it..it was as simple as mounting it as rw...thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
I'm playing around with this, and exploring the filesystem. I see in /sbin that there's a copy of clockworkmod recovery (recovery) and busybox is a symlink to that (and then there are several utils that are symlinks to busybox.)

That doesn't surprise me, but what I'm trying to figure out is the several files with a size of EXACTLY 793868. These include xzcat, unlzma, rev, resize, pstree, etc. All these files are identical (no binary differences.)

They don't appear to be hard links, but actually seperate files (even though they are identical.) Wouldn't it be better for these to be symlinks (or at least hard links) to a single binary file? Currently, the /sbin directory is taking 16.5MB in the initramfs, which I'm assuming is gzip'd into the kernel... which has an impact on startup time.

If those utils would all work as symlinks, the initramfs embedded into the kernel would be smaller before compression, making the decompression take less time, and so on.

As well, it'd be cleaner and make more sense for those of us poking around in the root filesystem. ;)

Thanks

Gary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Thanks for pointing this out - I think the initramfs needs some cleanup. I need to go "back to the source" and look at codeworkx's initramfs - there is a possibility that it has the same issues or I made some small mistakes when integrating it.

Yup, something is wrong here... Will work that tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jake:
Kernel is on the money big son.. will update with info going forward

As of now running DD here at 1.6 conservative. Temperature is ideal, batt consumption minimal. Your work is quite good indeed

Regretfully at the moment I am fiscally challenged.. exceeded budget caps for the month and I digress lol

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Audiochild:
Hey all,

I have a question. I'm running a clean full flash of UnNamed 1.3.1 with DD 12012011. Everything is really, really great but I've noticed that when turning off wifi it seems to be taking too long to reconnect to cell data and I'm noticing the same behavior coming out of flight mode. If I recall correctly these transitions were almost instant prior to flashing this last DD kernel. Coincidence and unrelated? I don't know, it's beyond my scope of knowledge. Any thoughts anyone? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clumsywob:
Any update on the Services.jar to allow other apps light up BLN? (GoSMS, Touchdown, etc..)?

Also, I'm not sure if this is an issue with Pandora or the Kernel, but a lot of times, Pandora continues to play when it disconnects from Bluetooth. Before, it would pause Pandora when it disconnected (just like when you disconnected a headset)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
This is ROM specific and not related to the kernel. Shoman's rom has an updated Services.jar, while others don't (as far as I know). BLN already lights up for just about everything (Gmail, Talk, and I've noticed other apps). The services.jar edit is needed for use with the stock messaging app. I've heard that BLN will work with handcent "out of the box", but I've opted to use an AOSP mms, which works without the services.jar edit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vlara:
Happens to me to but it does it on my streak as well so im sure its just a pandora thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Audiochild:
So after trying some other roms tonight and realizing they weren't as stable as UnNamed I did another fresh flash of the setup I asked about above and the problem (slow data reconnect) no longer exists. Obviously it had nothing to do with the kernel. That's a good thing but I'm still open to knowing if anyone else has experienced this type of lag. Either way all is good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The closest to that I've seen was last night - for some reason it had trouble connecting to wifi for a few minutes and when it did, some Google services (like Talk) were inaccessible.

I haven't been able to reproduce since then though. Something in my neighborhood may just have been wacky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
i could have swore i flashed the latest kernal of yours but when i look in cpuspy it says at the bottom Sun Nov 13. Should i reflash?

edit: i have unnamed 1.3.1 which i thought had your governor in it but my battery doesn't seem up to par with others. 4h 25m on 20% with 47m on display.and the only user apps i have are BBS, cpu spy, friendcaster pro, JD, smart keyboard, terminal emulator, tibu,xda premium, and voice.

guess my question is do i need to flash the governor as well as DD12/1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I've been on my old Aria for the last several days as my SGSII charging issues / strange behavior seemed to have amplifed themselves to the point where it was not really usable as a daily driver device (warranty replacement should be here today or tomorrow) but I am seeing frequent disconnects from Google servers as indicated by signal strength color change and lack of google services (on CM7 nightly). I am inclined to think this may be a Google server issue?? I've seen it happen a couple other times in the past and usually goes for a couple days and then sorts itself out. FWIW I'm in the Northeast (southern Maine).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
UnNamed 1.3.1?

I am currently running UnNamed 1.3.1 which has an older version of this kernel...should I update to the newest kernel? Anyone on UnNamed 1.3.1 update and notice any improvements?

Also, I could use a "double-check" on how to update. I just flash using CWM as "install from card" or "update from card"? Or am I just completely wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
just for future reference bro. you always want to keep up with updates and be on the latest. Unless the developer has post any warnings to revert. So yes... update to the latest. and you want to install zip from sdcard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturallyfrozen:
I'm getting AMAZING battery life with the update (don't know why, kinda). Per CPUspy, I've been on for almost 24 hours with 44% left. Mind you, display time is less than 2 hours with talk time of 8min.

What I did different? Turn off data & wifi when I'm not using it. I guess it DOES affect battery (noobness).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
I took the zimage and flashed through terminal emulator. Fixed my previous talked about issue. Didn't realize after updating then installing unnamed it reverted to a older version

Edit: do I need to flash the governor in cwm? Or is it automatically in place from when I flashed unnamed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thanks for the great kernel man! Nice work :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Do you mean the governor settings script? It stays in /system/etc/init.d - anyway, even if it somehow gets blown away, you can just set it using SetCPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Ah I gotcha. I was referring to the governor-ondemand.zip but what you said makes sense. Ill check out setCPU and see if it will improve battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
This kernel has proven itself and continues to get better :-p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
governor-ondemand is not CWM-flashable - I couldn't upload a raw file without an extension
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justin860:
I just got this phone an hour ago, Id like to use this kernel with with S8.2 but im not sure how to set up the BLN I read what it said but I need a walk thru please. The phone is already rooted and ready to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
Did it work?

I second this...Also, sorry if this has been covered but I flashed the kernel and it said successful, is there any place to look to see if it shows the new kernel? In other words, a place to look to see if the kernel is the right one? When I go to settings>About it says kernel version 2.6.35.7. Is that where I am supposed to be looking? How do I know if it worked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturallyfrozen:
Use the app CPUspy. Check the bottom of the app, it'll show the date: Dec 1

NoSig
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
Thanks!

Thanks, that takes care of that, it DID work. Now all I need is a little more info on how to setup BLN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalavar:
If you have the Kernel you're almost done.

1. Get the liblights_bln.7z from post 3 of this thread. Extract bln_lights.SGH-I777.so and rename it to lights.SGH-I777.so and copy this to your SD Card.

2. Use a File Explorer that can Write to system I used ESFileexplorer go to settings in file explorer and turn on Root Explorer and Mount File System. They are the last 2 items on it's settings page.

3. Then you need to copy that file lights.SGH-I777.so into the root directory of /system/lib/hw/

4. Reboot your phone.

5. Download BLN Control from the market and change it's settings to how you like.

That's how I did it and it works good for me. Although I am using a 3rd party SMS app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
Not sure...

I got BLN working on my phone, and I don't really like it. If it is going to drain my battery I don't want to use BLN. Should I revent back to the original liblights file or could I simply just turn BLN off somehow?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
There is a toggle on/off in BLN control app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
Thanks

Yeah, I knew about that, I just didn't know if that would do it or if I would actually have to put the old lib file back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
speaking of this BLN, does it disable the screen turning on for notifications (as in SMS)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup - turning it off in BLN Control is enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dalavar:
No that is done in the notification settings of the SMS app itself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsmith8858:
Consider trying "SMS pop-up," free from the market. Its a great app, uses your stock messaging app but provides the notifications, and you can customize the notifications quite a bit, including leaving the screen off (and, of course, showing a popup if you like, the primary feature).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaymz77:
Been a little while since i flashed a rom...

sorry for the newbness but i am flashing s8 on my i777 and the directions direct me to the first message in this form to download the Entropy's kernel but the first message has all these files:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Audiochild:
My girl and I are thoroughly enjoying our phones with your kernel. Donation on the way soon. Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yup, last one on the list is the most current. All those numbers are just the dates.. 12-01-2011 is the latest and the one you want to flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haas360:
I heard something about a dec 6 release? so soon with all your fancy new stuff you have researched I can't wait
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I've got stuff going on nearly every night this week, so I haven't had time to push out what I've been running on my phone for a day or two.

Maybe tomorrow - but no guarantees. Details are in my github commits, I already pushed sources (git push origin is a lot easier than making sure I put the right zImage into the zip and uploading it here.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Can't wait for the next update! :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I have a friend who just got this phone and wants to keep the stock rom on it (for whatever reason, I cant change his mind) but I did talk him into changing the kernel because of how much I talked this kernel up. How does this kernel respond to the AT&T stock rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
I ran it on stock for a little while and it ran good bro. This kernel is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Thanks, thats all I needed to hear. I didnt want to talk up this awesome kernel and then have it bork his stock rom... then he would never flash again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I tested it for a LONG time against "modified stock" (deodexed and debloated) - nothing I've changed since then should affect anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Well he wants to keep his bone stock (odexed and bloated... dont ask why), so thats why I asked if this kernel still played nicely with AT&Ts frankenstien of a rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
bloat and odex shouldn't interact negatively in any way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
which scheduler is more efficient? I always usually use noop but didnt know if bfq, cfq or others was better than noop..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LamboDroid19:
Entropy, Do plan on adding sio and vr schedulers.

it says here(near the bottom): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16833651&postcount=1

that vr is best for MTD devices and sio is best for EMMC.

there are also a lot of other things i don't understand there.

maybe you can make sense and see if anything there is useful that we dont already have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Entropy512, I'm back on your kernel. I'm so happy to be back. In a world class phone such as our SGS2, we need a blend of stability, battery life, and performance and your kernel exudes all of this and is the perfect compliment to Unnamed which I'm still on :-) Please hurry with the updates, I'm really looking forward to the finished product.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Has anyone tried using this kernel with CM7? How'd it work out?

(I'm getting bored with UnNamed... it's been on my phone for almost a week now.)

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AaronStC:
From OP:

It is NOT compatible with CM7/MIUI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Wow, I wonder how I missed seeing that. I think I searched the thread for "cyanogenmod" instead of "cm7". Oh well. thanks. :)

Looking forward to this update. :)

changelog for 12/8?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
F5 is your friend. :)

Even though I wore mine out waiting for this update today. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desiromeo719:
FINALLY! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
.. mine is getting close :D

Will updating to this new release require setting up BLN again with the liblights file or whatever?

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

The OP is also your friend ;)Taken from the second post.. right at the top:

12/8/2011 Releases:

Resume dual-release standard (2.6.35.7) and experimental (2.6.35.14) builds - note exp does NOT fix the AOS bug, just hides it - see http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne...9c081a2e6dd9da

Remove some debugging printk()s from the AFTR cpuidle driver for those who enable AFTR deep idle mode (see init.d scripts thread linked below)

More components of I9100 update3 sources - MMC, filesystem, and generic arch/arm changes

Removed filesystem I/O scheduler tweak script from initramfs - this belongs as a separate init.d script. See http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1378080 for this script's new home along with other scripts

Enable compilation of FUSE module. Combined with an ntfs-3g binary this should allow people who want to mount NTFS drives with OTG cables to do so. I cannot provide any additional support for this though - no OTG cable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
jeez... next time I edit the changelog before uploading!

It won't touch liblights at all - if you've got it set up already, it'll still be there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] encrypshun:
Quick question, I just flashed unnamed and saw this update. Can I flash this through mobile Odin lite?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Why use an app? Really?! Boot into recovery via extended power menu or button combo.. flash in CWM. It doesn't get any easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enzopreme:
my nomination for post/pic of the day.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

my man, it obviously wasnt there when i asked, but the update was. why would i ask for the changelog if it was in the OP? seriously? :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] encrypshun:
Cause I'm a noob. Tks for the heads up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Lol.. my bad bro :o I thought it was a little odd of a question. Haha, now I get what Entropy meant :p sorry mate :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
mobile odin lite should be able to flash the zImage - not sure if it will extract zImages from zips
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enzopreme:
no worries bro. i read the changelog... im not really understanding the difference in the experimental and regular version. Whats this AOS bug??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Thanks for your hard work entropy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] evodon84:
No more redbend_ua makes Entropy happy.

Thanks again Entropy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I haven't been able to figure out if it can extract the zImage, if the option is there, I haven't stumbeled upon it. I just did it from my workstation, uploaded the zImage to dropbox, go into root explorer and move the zImage from my deopbox folder to the root of my SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It might do it automatically if you feed it a zip - SGS Kernel Flasher did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Thanks for another great update!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Thanks for the great update Entropy512 but can you clarify this as I'm new to your dual versions. Are there any noticeable differences between the standard and experimental version in terms of stability or performance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Same here. why would I want to use the exp version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
In the changelist he states that the experimental build hides the AOSP bug.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cau.At':
DD_12082011_exp vs DD_1208201 ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
2.6.35.7 vs .14 - experimental has a newer base. It could have some benefits in certain situations, or it could have regressions that cause problems. It is unknown - that's why it's experimental!

One of the fixes in .12 interacts negatively with Android's battery usage statistics code - see below. It doesn't increase or decrease drain, it just moves the "blame" to somewhere the battery stats code doesn't see it right now.

It's more than that - but that's the only *known* difference. And it's not the AOSP bug, it's the AOS "bug" - e.g. if you have high battery drain reported as Android OS due to frequent CPU wakes, you won't see Android OS as a high percentage any more - but the drain will still be there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
With Mobile Odin Lite, but I doubt there is any difference in function between the Lite and Pro versions, it does not show zip files for selection within the program. I have a tar, a modem.bin and a zImage showing, but not any zips. So I guess the answer is no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kest874:
Latest version feels snappier. I'm back on your kernal after reading some of the things that were done in the Siyah kernal, that and I was having too many issues with the power button that were driving me nuts, not to mention the slow USB read/write.

Question though, can you explain the benifits of AFTR, is it a battery saver, will I notice a difference one way or another?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vladm7:
here you go folks. the most curious ones can educate themselves on the changes ;)

Anyone wanting to use mobile Odin just download androzip from market and you will have the ability to zip and unzip any zip file with root explorer. I use it all,the time to swap out modems and kernels in hellraiser zips.

Just unzip the cwm zip and extract the kernel then use mobile Odin to flash.

FWIW, tried 12012011 with the UCKK6 Leak, wifi did not work at all with it. Have not tried the latest one yet...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
I just updated to the 12/1 update and installed from zip via CWM and it said install from sdcard complete but I was wondering how to check if it actually flashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Newest kernel (12/8/11) works great. Thanks for the update Entropy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
IF you got CPU Spy, you can open that up and see kernel version. Date should read Thur, Dec8.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Experimental will read as 6th or 7th - it was built 1-2 days before release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thanks for pointing that out.. I just rolled with the reg version :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It is in theory a battery saver - but it seems like not a huge one in practice. It could negatively affect stability, but I haven't had a problem yet. The fact that it's off by default and has extra debugging code indicates it has lower maturity than other idle modes. It will have zero effect in deep sleep, and at this point, identifying non-sleep power deltas is going to require better instrumentation than I currently have - the battery meter just isn't accurate enough. Wiring a dummy battery with a current sensor is a ***** though.

That's JUST .14 FYI - From .11 to .12 was around 257 patches. Many were completely irrelevant for ARM of course. (How did I figure out which of those 257 was the one that affected AOS? git bisect - a binary search means 9 steps for 257 patches.)

Wifi breaking on leaks seems to be a common thing with AT&T. ROM devs can fix this with modifications (see shoman94's ROM).

I'll poke at KK6's initramfs to see if there might be a way to allow these to work without modifications. A few people on IRC found the trick to extracting stuff from Odin oneclicks without flashing them last night. :)
