I've already stated my position on alternative governors - they cause more problems than they ever solve.

Even the ONE of those that is part of the mainline Linux kernel has issues on our device - if you had bothered to read the changlog, Interactive was removed after just one release due to causing stability regressions.

Smartass can be easily duplicated with screen-on/screen-off profiles in SetCPU, the advantage might be a fraction of a second of turn-on latency - but we've got a fixed 650ms turn-on delay as it is that we can do nothing about.

Most of the others I won't touch with a 10-foot pole - every time I've seen someone try to integrate one of them they wind up with an unstable buggy piece of ****. I mean, ffs, they can't even come up with a proper descriptive name? They have to resort to "all show and no go" marketing and hype to get people to use it? BrazilianWax, SERIOUSLY?

It's not like the existing governors don't have tuning parameters that you can change. Nearly every alternative governor I've seen is just a buggy implementation of screen on/off profiles, or something that can be achieved by tuning an existing governor away from the defaults.

I had zero problems with WiFi running i777UCKK6 _modem_ + hellrised CheckRom + any of 12012011 or 12082011 kernels.

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

I'm not sure about kernel, but I was able to extract factoryfs.img and modem by finding the beginning of each respective part in the odin-oneclick package and then playing with tail/head to cut those out of there. I'm pretty sure the same can be done for kernel part, since all I checked start with a series of 00 00 A0 E1....

hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pupochek:
Wasn't running the modem. Flashed i777UCKK6 leak (whole thing) with Mobile ODIN, wifi was working fine. Flashed 12012011 kernel, wifi stopped working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
My phone started to act really weird. Slow response and my lock screen (Widget Locker) would disappear and show the stock lockscreen, Sms/mms would close, then hang and then finally close.

I tried rebooting a few times. Im gonna flash back to 12/1 and see if it all goes away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Weird... Have a feeling it's probably some app went bonkers, otherwise my guess would be something in the filesystem code...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Ya possibly, or maybe something didnt flash right or carry over. I just switched back to 12/1 to see what happens... after awhile, Ill jump back to 12/8 and see if anything changes. Ill keep you updated with what I find...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Hmm....to bad! I flashed 12/8 exp early this am and haven't had one hiccup. Solid as ever, appreciate you work, Entropy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Entropy512, thanks for the clarification on your dual versions of DD. How many more releases of DD do you expect to release before the road to Samsung Update3 is fully covered or is the 12/8/11 release of DD the final product? Also, out of curiosity which version of your DDs do you usually have installed on your phone and why? Thanks again and continue the awesome work :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
ok so i'm having trouble getting BLN to work. I'm running UnNamed 1.3.0. w/ 12/1/11 DD i downloaded the app and the liblights.so from post #3.

which so's do i need to push using Root exploer. and do i need to keep the stock in there?

Thanks, and great work on the Kernel Entrophy.

File Type: zip	DD_12082011_exp.zip - [Click for QR Code] (5.13 MB, 211 views)

My MIUI (or something) is giving me problems, I think I'm gonna try to go full stock, then start by doing a new rom like Coz, lite'ning, or unnamed (Do those 3 roms work on your kernel here? Also should I change my baseband? using uckh7, I think my phone started with J1. Does it matter?

Is it safe to "restore missing apps" with titanium backup on a new rom (not restoring data, except maybe contacts and wifi points)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Its in the OP, 2nd post, first or second thing on the list.. doesn't fix, just "hides" the AOS bug..and other stuff. See link in 2nd post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
12/1 works flawless on my phone, so Im not sure what happened. I dont mind sticking with it until your next release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
Thanks, I read that. Can I just install the _exp one, or do I need to install the previous 12082011.zip first? I did a full wipe and I'm gonna try another rom, backed up my stuff, and apps etc. just put the Jig in for download mode, gonna give it a go. MIUI was nice while it worked =/ I'm looking for an aesthetically "cool" and graphically "intense" rom that has all the perks of normal roms (no adds, no at&t stuff, on/off crt anims, battery life, etc.)

Now that I backed up, then wiped, is my best starting point here?: i777UCKH7+OCD+Root+No+BL.7z w/ odin? (Worked very first time before MIUI, but caused bootloop last 2 tries, here goes 3rd try)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You don't really need download moad anymore unless your using Odin or Heimdall. Once you have CWM on your phone, you use that to flash other ROMs and kernels. You don't need to flash the non exp build first.. its one or the other.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
Cool. I didn't know that, thanks. I was just unsure of needing an "order of operations" to properly clean out the phone to put something new on it.

So I did full wipe, I got a CWM kernel, and I want to install a ROM. (I downloaded Unnamed 1.3.2, Lite'ning, and ISC'd_Out_SGS2_v5)

So I can install a rom from zip no prob. But often it makes my phone (from full wipe) get stuck in bootloop (or maybe that was just flashing kernel via ADB)

But I want to use DD_12082011_exp.zip - I can just install this on top of the rom? And its safe to "install missing apps" on top of that?

Some things I'm looking for: CRT screen on/off, bootanimation.zip support, volUP/volDOWN camera zoom, Doubletap=voice talk (the one that came with the phone) I know how to install bootanim by placing the file. Don't know how to install poweroff anim or enable the CRT screen on/off (not learned on compiling the files for install after mod) and I learned doubletap is needed for that voice app. Man all this stuff is giving me a headache. crammmed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Generally yeah when going from ROM to ROM you want to wipe in between.. and yeah just install desired kernel on top of whatever rom assuming its compatible. As far as your wish list goes.. check what the roms got, see what mods are available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No need to wipe anything when installing a kernel, just flash it over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No clue, it depends on how much time I have over the next few weeks. The last thing to go in will be Samsung-specific arch/arm changes as that will require a lot of merging/rework. It may even cause you guys to lose undervolt and 1.6 GHz support for a release or two. (Undervolt and overclock support need to be completely rewritten - but update3 has fairly easy-to-enable 1.4 GHz support thanks to the Note.)

Edit: Looks like the camera/MHL drivers and the Samsung-specific arch/arm changes will have to be done in one go - they depend on each other. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
As always, you are doing a fabulous job so just continue to do what you are doing and release the updates when they are stable and ready. I'm currently studying for my pharmacy boards so the lack of frequent updates may be a good thing now however I'm also eagerly awaiting the final finished product as everyone else :-) Just out of curiosity, is Update3 the latest one from Samsung for our phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Latest for the I9100, which seems newer than the I777 source drop (we only have one so far)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
12/12/11 experimental uploaded, building and uploading standard now.

Main change: Touchscreen drivers updated to I9100 update3. The remainder are irrelevant to us (DPRAM and WiMax drivers for Sprint users, staging drivers of which ramconsole has slight changes.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] players_inc17:
Nice thanks for the hard work. Flashing now to check it out

Edit : lateset kernel works great. Seems to make my phone more responsive especially with the online browser.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BrokenLegGuy:
Thank you for all the hard work and your dedication.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iRide113:
Love your work and so grateful for your work, but with the new 12/12 build, auto brightness seems to be a little off, too dark. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Touchscreen drivers? Is it supposed to be more responsive or accurate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
Please dont flame because this feels like a noobish question to me, I dont quite understand the BLN explanation. Is it something I need with UnNamed 1.3.2? Or is that not one of the ROM's this applies to?

And would I just place those files with root explorer or do I need to flash them with SDK?

Again sorry if this is a stupid question
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
BLN support is kernel dependent, but requires some files to apply to your ROM. Once you're running a kernel that supports BLN, you still have to replace the lights.so file by taking the one from this thread (in one of the first few posts) and properly renaming it so that it overwrites the existing one (/system/lib/hw). There is also a services.jar edit that is required for BLN to work with stock text messaging (services.jar is located in /system/framework).

1. BLN-supported kernel

2. lights.so file

3. edited services.jar file (which for UnNamed 1.3.2, can be found here)

The two files can be properly placed using root explorer or the method of your choosing. For root explorer, see my signature. Lastly, you need BLN control from the market. This actually allows you to enable BLN and set it up (timeout, schedules, etc.). I'd recommend getting the pro version, as it gives additional options (blinking).

Good luck :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
Oh ok so basically if I don't use that app it doesn't matter and wont cause any battery drain like described?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Correct. If you don't enable BLN, then it will have no effects. However, if you wanted to use it, you need the app. I use BLN and I don't notice any battery drain. I have blink enabled, and set it to time out at 1 minute (if I don't see it within a minute, it'll probably be a while before I look at my phone, so I don't see much point in setting it longer). I've seen others set it at 5 minutes. You could play with it and probably reach a medium of having BLN enabled with minimal drain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
I also just checked the latest UnNamed (2.0.0) and it seems like this step is unnecessary since his latest ROM enables BLN in it but is using DD-1208

I think I may wait on that though, I'm happy with 1.3.2 for now and this latest kernel fixes the screen issues so well. I'm blown away. The accuracy is worlds better now. Plus I'd rather now go through a factory reset which 2.0.0 requires.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I just noticed as well. I'm so heavily modded, I'll probably wait a while before I move to the new base. I'm pretty satisfied so unless people are experiencing better speeds, I'm going to stay put.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Yes! I flashed DD 12/12 exp early this am. Definitely an improvement in touchscreen accuracy and speed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Sorry I didn't upload Standard when I thought I would - I came home pretty tired and zonked out waiting for the build to complete. :)

Glad to hear that update3 is an improvement not a regression.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
Yep agree... Looking good. The touchscreen seems higher presion. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SupremeOverlord777:
I think that of the ROMs you downloaded, ICS'd Out would be the easiest to do the things that you listed:

CRT Screen on/off is in JKay Mods

I have changed my bootanimation.zip, worked perfectly, on ICS'd Out

volUP/DOWN for camera zoom I believe was enabled on v5, but was taken out in v6.

Doubletap can be enabled/disabled in JKay Mods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Scarchunk:
Anyone having any problems with their lock screens not responding occasionally?

Randomly the lock screen doesn't register my first swipe. I have to swipe a second time. Seems to only happen when awaking phone from deep sleep state. Majority of the time its fine.

Only had the issue since flashing 1212. On 1208 I've been unable to reproduce the issue.

Running unnamed 1.3.2 and a couple others on that thread reporting similar problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I've had this happen occasionally ever since I got my device, any kernel I have ever tried. (Fairly rare though...)

Are you using a screen protector, and if so, what brand?

If anything, the lockscreen seems more responsive for me than it used to be. I have a Moshi screen protector.

Edit: Also, I'm now trying to reproduce this and am unable to - I've unlocked this thing over and over again, it always responds right off. Maybe once it didn't fully unlock - but I think I just swiped badly - the swipe was clearly registered, it just wasn't long enough.

One of the reports was from someone using WidgetLocker - with the device trying to put that much onto the screen it wouldn't surprise me if resuming from suspend took a little longer to fully complete regardless of kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
That was me using widget locker. when I first noted the behavior this morning my first suspect was widget locker. I really didn't think anything of it again until I saw the other posts. I had also just jumped two versions ahead on Jivy's ICScreweD from 1.1 to 1.3. I have been using widget locker for about a month, this is the first time I've noticed this type of behavior...

I've since been trying off and on to be able to reliably reproduce the lack of response... Seems very random right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Scarchunk:
Appreciate you taking the time to troubleshoot.

No screen protector here. I've flashed back and forth between 1208 and 1212, I can only produce this specific issue on 1212.

I'm wondering if we are talking about the same thing. I've experienced the screen taking too long to wake and missing my swipe before. In this case the screen fully wakes but doesn't register my first swipe.

Obviously I'm in the minority here and I can't expect you to fix something that you can't reproduce. Weird though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
I have the same issue. Edit ---- forgot to mention on my device it happens after every lock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
Well... I didn't notice this issue until you guys pointed it out. Yup seeing the same here too. It takes a double swipe swipe sometimes. It seems like it takes the first swipe to wake it up... Weird. I don't use a screen protector.

UPDATE: I played some with this today and determined repeatable results for me. The phone needs to have set a few minutes (I'm guessing to go into deep sleep?). If I attempt a swipe immediately (<2secs) after pushing the power button, then the first swipe is not detected. If I wait, the first swipe works. Waiting is a catch 22 though as screen times out in about 6 secs. Using a second scenario... If I push the power button a second time after the first screen timeout, everything is fine. On the up side... This behavior eliminates inadvertent screen unlocks. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Those who are having unlock issues, I need a dmesg:

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

Do a few unlock cycles, then plug into USB and run the above command.

If you don't have ADB working, Google it - or if you're on Windows, Google "Droid Explorer"

Oddly I haven't seen any reports of this in the I9100 community, there are other touchscreen sensitivity complaints they have. It may be that there is some interdependency between the touchscreen drivers and the Samsung-specific stuff in arch/arm that is more subtle than other things that have interdependencies.

For example, the following components will all have to be done all at once along with the last part of updating to update3 (samsung-specific arch/arm):

Media (camera/MHL) and battery - doesn't even build when patched on their own

Video output - builds but crashes on suspend
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
I'll get you dmesg file later tonight after I get off work. The "issue" is very subtle. Good rundown on the status. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Also, anyone who does seem to have this issue and pulls a dmesg:

Which ROM?

Brand of screen protector (if any)?

If no protector - how clean is the screen?

I had rare unlock issues with my Tab 10.1 that only occurred with a very dirty unprotected screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Sent this text file to ya via PM. As to what I'm running it's listed in my sig. No screen protector ever installed and screen has some finger prints but was wiped off about an hour ago. Just had the lockscreen not open after two swipes. Also happened a couple hours back and once after I initially loaded the 12/12 kernel about 4hrs back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Ideally I'd like a dump from someone who can catch this multiple times in a row.

Another question to all: Those who are having issues, are you using BLN? (It appears you are Kadin)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I have BLN enabled in the ROM and have BLN Control installed, but currently have it disabled in BLN control (it has not been enabled since switching to this ROM/kernel combo)

Only saw the lag once since this morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
OK, so probably not BLN.

Common themes seem to be:

No screen protector

(Was thinking UCKK6 - but dan seems to be running something Hellraised)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Jivy's ICScreweD 1.3. XWKK5 I think?

Edit: just got a couple in a row by shutting off screen with power button, waiting about a minute, then wake up. lag happened first two out of three tries, though I might not have waited quite as long on the third try. if I can repeat again tomorrow while next to a PC ill pull the log for you.

Edit 2: using armor shield screen protector (cheap zagg clone).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
Ok.. I came home from work tonight and sat down to recreate the issue, so I could send you the data. I don't know WTF the deal is, but I can't make it happen right now. :mad: I'll keep trying. BTW... no BLN for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Thank you for this great update Entropy512. I just want to add that the update is working awesome for me. I haven't experience any lock screen lag that other users are talking about even though i'm also undervolting as well. More importantly, this kernel has now equaled or slightly exceeded Siyahkernel in terms of benchmarks and hopefully the battery performance will be as great as always. Really looking forward to the final release for Update3 :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Actually I'm not. Never did a thing to activate BLN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
I was able to recreate it this morning... hopefully the dmesg file will help. I'll keep on it though.

I'm using gtx465x's Unnamed Rom v1.3.1, No screen protector, Pretty clean screen (light finger prints).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Ok I just encountered my first major problem with this kernel (on latest version 12/12). I'm not sure if this has been present on previous releases or if it has been brought up already but it's related to the lock screen. I don't have any issue with lag on wake. Basically on my lock screen (which i'm using pattern), instead of drawing my pattern to unlock, I can just randomly poke/tap on the screen a few times and it will unlock. Or another disturbing way I can unlock the lock screen is I can just randomly flick across the screen and that will work too. I have flashed both the standard and experimental versions to test out and this issue is present on both versions. I'm not sure if this is related to the Samsung lock screen issue that I thought was fixed already but I just wanted to bring this up. I also want to add that my screen is always clean and I don't use any screen protector. Currently running Unnamed 2.1.1(latest).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Does this also occur with 12/08?

Lockscreen enforcement is in the ROM, not the kernel... The kernel only handles passing touch events to userland (the ROM)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
I think you are right. This issue also occurs with the 12/8 standard release. So far, everything is pointing at the rom as the cause. Can you let gtg know about this? I'll also bring this up in his forum if it hasn't been already.

Edit: This also occurs on the 12/8 experimental release as well as the latest Siyah 2.5.1 kernel so it's probably safe to say it's the rom that's causing this.
