Wowza!!

flashed 12/21 update few moments ago, and noticed subtleties on the first boot up even considering dalvik / cache was cleared... For DD today, i went off charge 9 hours ago, flashed this new kernel (rebuilt dalvik etc) and i am still sitting at 74% batt. (regular duty usage)

will edit this post with new information when that becomes available.. great work Entropy. When it comes to Kernel devs (and otherwise) you are without a doubt Top notch (*****) Ty!!! Payday = tip day for you bud
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I wound up catching him on Twitter, he kind of implied in his reply to me that he's not quite done, but Twitter sucks for such things, who knows.

There are two module parameters for addresses that don't seem to have defaults or a known value - I'll poke at them over the holiday week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LGSilva:
Thank you sir!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iteam:
Thank You Entropy!

Thank you Entropy!!!!

Just upgraded my kernel fom your 12-12-2011 to your newest 12-21-2011 and everything is smoother all around, as usual, also not that it really matters, but my Quadrant scores went from 3300 to 4500! Both running on stock rooted 2.3.4 1200mhz conservative. That is amazing ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Wow. Can I ask what rom your on? I'm New here and am going to flash this kernel. Sounds beast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Weird. Nothing in 12/21 should have made any significant differences compared to 12/12 in that regard.

Quadrant is inconsistent as hell. Even if you force performance, it can vary by 800+ points from run to run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kennonk:
Entropy, how much effort would it be add the tun module to your kernel? I use an apk called vpn connections http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/ to make ipsec connections to my office network. Used to work great on the Captivate with Speedmod kernel and a few others, works fine on CM7 for SGS2 but UnNamed is so much better for what I use my phone for than cm7. I was just wondering if something like this was out of the question?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
It seems my wifi is always on with 12/21 w/ sleep policy set to when screen off. Is this common with 12/21 on unnamed 2.2.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dwaleke:
My wifi caused a 2 hour wake lock too. I'm on kk6. Back to previous kernel and sleeping good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
I'm thinking of going back to 12/8

EDIT: Just went back to 12/8...hoping my wifi goes to sleep...only thing is last night I charged to 100% rebooted and let sit overnight with sync and wifi on and I only lost 3% over 8 hours even though my battery stats were showing my wifi was awake the whole time...solid blue line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
what the hell.. I'm 99% positive I used to have this enabled but somehow it got disabled. Next release.

Sorry.

I've always had "wifi sleep policy" set to "never", it gives me the best battery life since background data uses MUCH more power over the cell radio and standby drain of the wifi chip is extremely low.

Oh a question to those with Bluetooth HID problems in KK6 - Does BTHID work at all with the stock KK6 kernel if you wipe data after installing the KK6 kernel (full wipe)? If it does I'm not going to look into it any more, if it is broken in the stock KK6 kernel it's a clear sign that KK6 userland is ****ed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
So if I'm on wifi and my wifi never sleeps it won't hurt my battery? My question is why with the 12/21 does my wifi never sleep even if its set to when the screen goes off but on 12/8 it does? Also if I have the policy set to sleep when the screen is off won't it turn it back on if its sleeping and needs to use background data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It should improve battery unless you have an app that uses extra background data on wifi - standby drain of the BCM4330 is VERY low.

I just tested setting wifi sleep policy to "screen off when unplugged" and it went to sleep just fine on XXKI3.

No clue yet what the deal is with UCKK6 - it has alllll sorts of weird wifi issues it seems.

I've got straight UCKK6 downloaded now, will flash in a day or two to experiment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
I believe XXKI3 and UCKK6 are the base bands correct? If I'm running unnamed 2.2.1 and your 12/21 kernel which am I on? In my about phone it says baseband UCKK6.

EDIT: Another issue I just noticed from running 12/8 briefly today before switching back to 12/21 is that when trying to unlock with a pattern on 12/21 it doesn't recognize my touch and gives me incorrect pattern while 12/8 was spot on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
XXKI3 and UCKK6 are firmware builds. They are released with a combination of kernel, userland firmware, and baseband.

Any I777 will always be running a UCK?? baseband - it won't work without one. UCKH7 and UCKK6 are the two most common basebands (since both are official releases.)

Unmodified ROMs will also show their Samsung build version in the "Build Version" field. Modified ROMs will often change this, so to determine what the original base the ROM was derived from was, you need to look up what the ROM dev did.

VillainROM 3.0 is based on XXKI3

Unnamed 1.x is based on UCKH7

Unnamed 2.x is based on UCKK6

It's starting to look like UCKK6 has LOTS of weird wifi and bluetooth issues in /system...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Good thing I opted to stay on the stock base.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
Task's v9 here, kk6 base, sending message through airport wifi with Bluetooth headphones jamming some Pumpkins, no problems here. Using your 12/21 experimental kernel.

Edit: no issues with home wifi either

Your kernel seems good so far, gonna give it a run for a few days, just flashed it today, had been using siyah, which worked out pretty well also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
I'm testing this now on the stock 2.3.6 rom. Looks good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No longer doing any kernel work on BTHID - It's broken in /system not in the kernel.

It is not possible to connect to a Bluetooth keyboard even with bone stock UCKK6 - stock system and kernel.

BTHID is working fine on every other system image I've tested the kernel with, and I have seen no reports of issues with it with anyone Hellraising I9100 bases I haven't tried.

dmesg and logcat attached

Edit: I haven't investigated further, but even with the stock UCKK6 kernel, if I set the wifi sleep policy to "when unplugged and screen is off" or whatever the name for the middle option is - it does not indicate that it went to sleep in battery stats. I don't know if battery stats is just lying on KK6. So this is more evidence we are not missing anything in kernel-land, because the things that are broken are broken even on the stock KK6 kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
I'm on ICScrewd(KK6) with 12/21 Exp kernel. I always set my wifi sleep policy to "never". As Entropy said, wifi drain is VERY low, and it certainly uses less battery than 3G/4G. I'm getting good "sleep" results with policy set to never.

As was stated maybe there are some inconsistencies(with regard to wifi) with the stock KK6 kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Hey guys. What settings are you using on set CPU for the best battery life. I left it at 1.2 Max and. 2 min and was wondering what you guys thought
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IVIadness:
I have not used that app yet what's the 2min setting do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kytrauma:
Is it just me or is the home button not working to select stuff is cwm recovery on the latest kernel. I have to use the power button to make any selections since flashing to siyah then the newest dd build. I even ran the kernel cleaning script before flashing the newest dd.

Hello, just flashed the latest along with task's rom, and when I wake the phone after a few minutes everything is inverted like seeing in a mirror,but the functions are still the same even if widget is inverted. Not sure if this a kernel or rom issue, just wanted to report.

Read on the I9100 forums that it is a jkay bug when crt animation is set. It is not kernal related
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Just got around to installing 12/21 DD a couple nights ago. This is coming from unnamed 2.2.1's default kernel (12/8, I think.)

So far, I honestly don't see any real differences. If the lockscreen is acting up (as several people mentioned for the 12/12 update), I'm not noticing it (or its not a burden) in normal use.

The only thing different I'm noticing with the phone is that the screen seems to be collecting fingerprints much more easily than before. For some reason, I don't think that's related to the kernel, and might have more to do with my kids using my phone to play all the new games installed from Google's 10 cent thing.

Take care

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
You are joking right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
lol. No, he is not. :)

But on a more serious note, I would suggest to us "users" to be more judicious about what we post in a developer thread to not thick the pros off. Along these lines, developers, we appreciate your work a lot (a lot!) and I would like to know if we are helping you by posting problems that we see in this thread. Or would you rather have us comment in a non-developer thread? The line between the general forum and this one is somewhat blurry. cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
He is joking, and garyd9 can get away with it because I know his technical capabilities.

As in - he's right now the best chance the Tab 7 Plus community has of getting a custom kernel as long as he can get over his fear of users. ;)

(Been there, done that man...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
Haha whew good...I was hoping so. Working at an AT&T retailer I have first hand experience at how dumb some people are, so I wouldn't put it past someone to believe an increase in finger prints is a direct result of installing a new kernel.

OFF TOPIC: I'm thinking of getting a tablet, and pretty sure since I love my i777 so much that I'll be picking up a galaxy tab, although the new xoom looks pretty sweet. I have the i777, a samsung pn51d550 plasma, and would like to top it off with a samsung galaxy tab, but I haven't done a lot of research on tablets yet. Any recommendations Entropy off the top of your head as to which tablets are best & which ones have the most dev support behind them? I'm also thinking of waiting for a tablet with a true 720p screen to come out...I don't believe the galaxy tab 10 is 720p...but like I said, I haven't done much research on them yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Samsung said in a statement that the tab is not getting the ice cream sandwich update so I'd reconsider :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Old tab isn't getting it. Anything that came with HC is.

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

No joke.. I really do think it might be related to my kids using it. ;) They should also be highlighted as a cause of massive battery drain.

The Asus transformer Prime tablet that just came out i hear is the bees knees but not sure about the development part of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
I actually just started looking at the Eee pad transformer prime....it looks sweet...def. gonna read up on it. Asus makes awesome laptops.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The original Transformer had some build quality issues and accessories were INSANELY expensive (and hard to find).

I went with the Tab 10.1, which is 720p, however Tegra2's media playback is crap.

Tab 7 Plus isn't 720p but has Exynos. I'd have picked one up if I didn't already have the 10.1.

The 7 Plus is a little light on dev support so far - garyd9 is kind of on his own. The problem is that the 7 Plus soft-launched with little fanfare in the USA so not many people have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
Would you suggest waiting? I'm thinking tablets are going to become more mainstream and become cheaper while increasing in power(like all tech).

Anyways back on topic...so I've been switching between 12/8 and 12/21 the past week or so and 12/21 still has a problem with the lock screen for me. It isn't lag like 12/12, but rather it doesn't recognize my pattern correctly. Ill have to attempt it once or twice whereas 12/8 is fine...any clue entropy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I changed nothing in the touchscreen with 12/21 - as stated, the number of people with this issue seems to be very few and the benefits of the I9100 touchscreen drivers outweigh this minor disadvantage.

Can you reproduce this on a repeated regular basis? e.g. every unlock from sleep or most unlocks from deep sleep?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Warjcowski:
Entropy - in the captivate forum, they found a way to add audience chip support to galaxy s kernels. Would this allow you to use sgs2 kernels as your base

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
Due to johhnyredcorn's consideration of the Galaxy Tab, Samsung has decided to reconsider updating this device to 4.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Not sure what exactly you're asking - but what do you think the whole point of patching to I9100 update3 sources is? Once complete, we're built from the same source base as international kernels.

This isn't a ROM, it's just a kernel. It shouldn't affect call audio at all in the way you describe - it hasn't done anything like this before.

The behavior you describe is fairly typical of flashing an I9100 modem/system firmware on the I777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] freakyd9984:
Let me explain what I do maybe I'm doing something wring, will this kernel work on any i9100 ROM.. If not which ones? So I download the kernel extract Zimage to sd card .. Then flash a i9100 ROM ,.then flash kernel... Hope this helps and thank for the response
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jake:
Sir I can't help but state the seemingly obvious here - if i were you, i would reconsider flashing anything further before reading this post as well as Jivy's FAQ Thread. It seems while you have made nearly 200 posts, it is not apparent that you have actually done any reading of responses / or you are being facetious .. or just plain naive. Text makes for a difficult call lol. I'm just saying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
Why are you flashing an international ROM? You have no sound on call because your flashing an international modem. Yes you're doing it WRONG.

Troll?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
If your going to use a i9100 rom make sure you flash the hellraiser mod. Doing this will also install the correct system files, kernel and modem. After that if you want to flash the current daily driver kernel then you can. The only roms this kernel will not work on is cm7 based roms and miui roms.

also please ask these types of questions in the Q&A section ....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
Why are you commenting on things you obviously do not know what your talking about. If you don't have any knowledgeable comments or helpful hints maybe you need to refrain from saying anything.. the flaming "troll" comment isn't necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
This is the thread for my kernel, not for Hellraiser.

You really should read more before flashing crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
Somebody got coal for the holidays. He stated he flashed a I9100 ROM on his i777, as shown by his sig, which had been known to cause no sound on phone calls incoming and outgoing. it was very relevant, and i obviously know what I'm talking about.

Entropy, noob question, but I'm trying to install your kernel via Android Terminal Emulator. Can I just flash the zImage or is there anything else I need to do in order for it to flash correctly?

BTW, I'm only doing this because my other SGS II had a bad USB port, so I swapped it out. Now I'm rooting again without tripping the counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Just flash the zImage. Since terminal emulator shells don't have root by default you'll need to su first in the shell. After that the dd command should work fine.

Entrophy I had to rever back to 12082011. The screen wake lag just annoyed me. Especially when going thru dial-tone menus on phones calls. I'd pull from my face to make a selection and if I hit the key as soon as the screen came on it wouldn't do anything until the second touch. Like if I waited 2 seconds after the screen came on it was fine. Swiping the lockscreen also I had to wait 1 seconds after screen came on before swiping away..... otherwise I would end up swiping twice.

Something changed after 12082011. I hope you can find it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Romee74:
I've been running 1221 exp and been experiencing the same. I just thought it was me. Reverted back to the standard 1208 and everything is normal here.

Running unnamed 2.2.1 if that matters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Another vote for fixing the home screen lag. I noticed that it appeared with 12/12, and continued in 12/21. I have also been running 12/08 because I find it frustrating to try to move the lockscreen and have to do it a second time. So I'm missing the new features, though it hasn't really been an issue yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I've made it clear what changed - I9100 update3 drivers.

I9100 users aren't complaining about this, so it MAY go away when I finish the update3 migration.

I'm not wasting any more time on this until after the migration is complete because every time I probe the complaints further, I find that people are being nitpicky and the problem actually almost never happens for them and they can't reliably reproduce the problem, which means they can't get me a dmesg. The positive reports of touchscreen responsiveness improvements (including my own personal experience) outweigh the occasional rare need to wait a half second because someone immediately poked the screen before it even fully turned on. Seriously, people can't wait a quarter second on a device that takes 650 msec to wake anyway?

The ONLY exception is if someone comes up with a reliable reproducible test case - which so far no one has managed.

If it annoys you but you can't actually make it happen often enough to get a decent dmesg log with multiple occurrences, you're a whiny nitpicker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Seriously for me it was a constant issue. On a call going through prompts..... every time I pull it from my face to enter a key code.....every time I wake the phone..... every time I end a call.... screen comes on I press END nothing happens.... gotta press end again.

EDIT:Lets work together not start bantering....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
I noticed that there wasn't a dmesg dump attached to your message. Would you like the information on how to generate one? "adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt". Then attach the file. Do this immediately after you see the problem.

Do you have ANY idea how incredibly annoying it is to work on something out of love, and have other people pick it apart without spending the time to help solve the problem? "It's broken! Fix it!" I hear that quite often in my "real" job. I fully expect those people to give me the steps required to reproduce the problem. If they are unable to give me those steps, or the problem simply doesn't occur for me, then I expect logs, stack traces, core dumps, or other information to help me investigate the problem. If I get none of this, as far as I'm concerned, the problem never happened.

Take your car to a mechanic, and tell him that you "hear a funny noise once in a while." He'll ask for the steps to reproduce the "funny noise" and if that isn't enough, he'll ask for information on what the noise sounds like, where it's coming from, etc. If you can't give him that information, he has NO basis to investigate the problem further. Perhaps it wasn't a noise in the car, but the sound some wild animal (or wild human) along the roadside. Perhaps it was the sound of a child crying. Perhaps you just farted while driving along. Okay, some people are having an issue with the screen. I think Entropy has clearly expressed the desire to resolve that issue, but has stated that he isn't encountering it. He's asked, multiple times, for people who are having the issue to send more information including dmesg dumps, logcats, etc. Is he getting that? Probably not.

Be part of the solution instead of just complaining about the problem.

Take care

Gary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Both of you a full of excuses. Many people have mentioned the issue... dig deeper to find it yourself. When I have complaints I fully investigate it. Do the ground work myself, replicate if possible and fix. This isn't a mechanical device. It doesn't roll on the ground or encounter wind drag etc. Cmon now..... how about... hey can you maybe run a dmesg for me or do that for me... that would be a big help to maybe fix the issue. Not hey loser stop nit picking cause your an idiot attitude. This F'in street goes both ways and I have a life as well.

Also my reply wasn't directed to you.... you need not be involved.
