Did you see my post last page. The new one works fine. Specifically, my installation method I highlighted.

1. Flash the kernel.

http://www.multiupload.com/PS6XHI6TC8

Synergy-Kernel-v0.05.3-2.6.35.11-ck3+-OC1.8-UV-BFQ-LAGFREE-Autogroup.zip (10.18 MB)

2. After flash, immediately go to advanced in Recovery and wipe Dalvik-Cache.

3. Immediately go and hit fix permissions from the advanced tab in recovery.

For me, the fix permissions took around one minute to complete.

I booted up NOW, and I can use any of the 8 govenors and set the min and max speeds and it takes fine. I keep set on boot checked.

I am using version 2.2.4 of set CPU and you must initially use autodetect Speeds when first setting up SetCPU.

Sorry for being so anal about this, but what version SetCPU are you using and please verify you ARE using autodetect when on the SetCPU for Root Users initial startup page, and you do have superuser permission enabled. I ask only because you would be surprised how many users I have run into deviate here in the initial settings. I also remember reading somewhere that earlier versions of SetCPU do not properly work with dual core models, so verify you are using the latest version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
I did exactly the same and no joy. I have root according to terminal emulator (and ROM manager working properly).

If I use system tuner to set governor and clock speeds, those changes show up in Set CPU, but Set CPU can't make the changes itself. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Set CPU and am using the latest.

So, i've been working on ondemandX and interactiveX for a day or more now, and it was always crashing when unloading those govs. i was starting to pull hair as last_kmsg, and kmsg never showed the fault.

resetting the permissions in recovery fixed the gov selection issue. im nto sure why they got messed up but i highly recommend every one give fixing permissions a go. I now havde interaxtiveX and ondemandX working perfectly so i can test them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
ohhh i wanna play with them !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] no6969el:
I had constant reboots on [v0.05.2] after during media card scanning after flashing this kernel. I went back to the previous version and it fixed the issue.

On Jugs 3 now but when it comes to kernels I switch often because im trying to find the best one at all times.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i don't think that's right, i'm using the latest version and it's very stable

the media scan bug is reported here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339662

and it's not related to this kernel or rom, as i was getting the same thing when i was on stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Docmjldds:
I used to feel that fix permissions was a complete waste of time and effort. Besides using this method for installing ROMs, kernels etc, recently ran into a weird issue where using Root explorer to edit build.prop would not work. No manner of using the built in text editor, copy pasting from the root of the SD card using an outside editor with root explorer would work. Turns out fix permissions was the fix. That issue took days of my time trying to make something work that used to be a one minute operation. I don't have that much hair left to pull :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
So an update, interactiveX and ondemandX crash the device when the cpu's change state. they are not very stable so i have no included them.

as for the crt bug, i think it may have to do with the services.jar ive included. i pulled it from Juggernaut 2.0 ROM as i had that on my device on the time, and patched it for BLN notifications. after decompiling it it appears that the crt animation had been tweaked into that service jar by the dev of the rom.

since then i have removed that jar from my kernel and patched the stock tmobile one with the bln patches, BUT this breaks the ctr animation on Juggernaut 2.0 roms. To get around this, i decompiled framework-res,apk and just enabled the crt animation in that instead and all seems to be well.

now i havnt made a rom for android in over a year so im not sure if framework-res.apk is universal across custom roms, or if devs hide tweaks in there such as themes. but if any of you wish to try my service.jar and framework-res.apk along side my kernel and see if it fixes the the crt on wake issue, just post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drewtang:
I've flashed themes that include framework-res and had it break things like extended power menus, and the quick toggles, so...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
extended power menues i thought were in the android services and services.jar quick toggles are in servies i think. like i said its been a while... a long while for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Frameworks are not the same over different ROMs. Melvin's BeastMod has a blue theme, different from stock Touchwiz look, so you're going to have to be pretty careful with the frameworks, perhaps PM the new update to a few "beta" testers and see how it goes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drewtang:
I could very easily be wrong on that one lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasontx:
I'll test your framework if you still need people.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
I've discovered more about my problem. It seems I have some weird half root. Terminal emulator says I have root, superuser gives out permissions, ROM manager and system tuner get to do their thing, but when I try to use battery calibration, it says "Failed, make sure your device is rooted." I updated superuser's binary, but no change. Any thoughts?

Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pit_Viper:
That's pretty much the same problem I've been having (you'll see some posts earlier in the thread). I haven't spent much more time attempting to determine the problem (I've presently been using either Synergy 0.02 or Jugs 0.3). I've been wondering, however, if something changed between 0.04 and 0.05 that resulted on some residual modifications being applied, meaning that things might not work properly if you skipped 0.04 (which I did, and I believe you did as well if I read correctly, although I'm not sure).

Anyhow, perhaps we can list some version information for comparison purposes:

Clockwork Recovery: 5.0.2.7

SuperUser: 3.0.6

SuperUser Binary: 3.0.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Yep, same recovery and superuser. I did go from .03.2 to .05.2, so the missing .04 could be a factor.

Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
the only change i had made from 0.03.x to 0.05.X was the change of the second core being dynamic, and replaced a binary to achieve this.

nothing that would turn whole root into half root. I dont seem to be having any root issues as well as others, so far i think you two may be the only two in this situation. there must be something like in your setups.

What roms are you guys running?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
Hmm, maybe you could just release it without all of the non-kernel stuff, and state that this kernel has BLN support but only if used with a compatible ROM.

And for the people on stock, maybe you could make a separate release with just your patched services.jar with instructions to flash it separately to enable BLN support on stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Thats what ill probably do next release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Stock Tmobile. Maybe I should try a different one. What's good?

Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
any of the custom roms here would be whole root. find one you think you will enjoy :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pit_Viper:
I'm using the stock ROM. I think that one or two others mentioned having problems with SetCPU, but they may not have noticed the "half root" part.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Well I flashed Bombardier and my half root is fixed, Set CPU works. Stock Tmobile ROM may be the issue.

Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
alot of time on a stok rom users will find they get half rooted.

Im actually workong on a tock rom based off the telus rom with a few minor tweaks for people who want to keep it simple.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pychobj2001:
I see the source file, but can you flash that? and do you do it via odin PDA slot? do u you have a flashable 0.05.5 i wanna see how much if i my phone can handle a massive undervolt
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fenrry:
I'm getting a runaround of the things I need to check before going and rooting, on this regard I wonder, does it only work on SetCpu?, no way using "No frills"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
flash v0.05.2 the source i uploaded is the same but i added in some cpu schedulers that i haven't finished yet so i haven't enabled them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
you dont need setcpu, you can flash and go. set cpu is if you want to overclock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fenrry:
Yup, that's my question about, I mean the kernel itself for what I see does improve the way the phone works but if I was to overclock then is Setcpu the only way, no chance to use No-frills?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DirtySant0:
Can I simply install this Kernel and get better performance without having to use any CPU apps or anything else to modify the speeds? Im just looking for something that will give me better performance than STOCK KERNEL and allow me to run longer off battery and in between charges.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
I think if you use lagfree which is the default gov you may see worse battery life. I. Mean typically if you add a turbo to a car but don't manage it your fuel mileage gets worse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Without using an app, this kernel is defaulted to lagfree, but since it's also undervolted, you may not notice much difference in battery life.

I swear I can't use jugs it's just to choppy for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Romanbb:
Mr. X,

If you include our services.jar (and you can if you like) make sure you grab the newest one from Juggernaut 2.5. Should fix the CRT-on issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Thanks man. I saw that in your change log. Did you just end up shutting off your crt on animation? When i tried patching it all into my telis services the off worked the on just ended up having the same issue you guys had. So i reverted my changes and just stuck with crt off in the frework.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
So im looking into the poor battery life and i can see my system proses is keeping the cpu busy 100% of the time, just trying to figure out what ive done to cause this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterW00DS:
ok I thought it was just my device getting horrible batt life. I was trying everything to see if possibly the poor batt life was the result of an app I was using. Good to know I'm not going crazy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mastajest:
Yeah, I had to keep the kernel included in Juggernaut2.5 because my battery was dying too quick with synergy lagfree. Can't wait for you find the issue; lagfree is amazing. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
th system using 100% of cpu turned out to be the rom i had flashed. flashed another with the same kernel and its fine now. still looking into battery tho.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phewizzo:
X the battery is bad. Everytime i switch over to this kernel the battery goes down while phone is idle like ive been using it the whole time. When i check battery info the phone is sleeping like it should but it really does seem like it runs on 100% when its sleeping. I tried with Beast and Jug. Peformance is amazing though. I hope u find whats eating the battery this would be the perfect kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daddymatt:
Yep, me too. Same exact scenario. I'd love to use this kernel but can't get through the day. Looking forward to an updated version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Can any one who is still using my kernel install battery spy and let it run, will give me a rough idea of the average batt every one is getting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
I just installed and started battery spy. I'll try and post a report from it tonight, then a more comprehensive dawn to dusk report tomorrow.

Sent from my beastly Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Don't use lagfree with battery spy. My phone was getting super hot and I checked set CPU and it was staying at max, only occasionally dipping to 14 hundred something minimum. Set it to smartass and it dropped down to 192. That right there may be a clue.

@-Mr. X-

any chance you guys can work with zedomax to incorporate the [OTG USB Host] into Juggernaut? :confused:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1333157

it'll be absolutely the best ROM Kernel all around if you can do that :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I took a loog at that thread didnt users say that usb host was working out oft he box?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
me too and i'm confused as well, because i did try to hookup a (SanDisk) USB flash drive to the phone and it did not pick it up

tried a keyboard or mouse, also no response

so, i'm pretty sure the stock kernel does not support USB devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
well lets figure otu why i have battery issues first :) then we will see what thats about.

Tonight i'm going to test some changes i have made to my ck3 patches that hopefully should fix the battery issue. it will however affect the speed ever so slightly, hopefully it the effect will only be noticeable in a few hundred quad points and not every day life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cmenard:
Dude it works with the stock kernel and it works with jugs kernel... I'm not sure what issue you're having. Maybe you have a bad cable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I'll make my own cable and test as well, i have a feeling its enabled by default.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
nope, using this one http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-fe...a-cable-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-5cm-67186

it works on other phones, like my old HTC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
So ive pulled ck3+ out of this test build, does any one want to test battery over night and through tomorrow with me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I'm game! I have a long day tomorrow so it should test it out well!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
with out ck3 you can notice a fair bit of diff. but this is essential for me to narrow down the issue.

CK3+ really gives it a swift kick in the ass performance wise, so if this test is conclusive i will see what i can do about editing ck3+ to find a fair medium between performance and battery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phewizzo:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
see above edit for link
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Alright. Right now I'm on Juggs 0.3, so what I'll do is I'll flash v0.05.2 and test performance, and then flash the latest version of Synergy and test out performance and battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
sounds good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Okay, I had a bit of a meltdown today that I'm not sure I can attribute to your kernel. From 12:30 to 5:00, I went from 58% to 12%, and all but the last twenty minutes was on airplane mode. I'm not sure if it was the battery spy app or if it was the Engadget app (which android's battery monitor says used 18%). Here's a screenshot of the chart battery spy gave me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Is there any conflict between Battery Spy and setCPU in terms of the overclock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phewizzo:
I think new kernel broke my crt screen off animation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
yah it did, sorry bout hat i left my custom service.jar in it.

pull the service.jar out of your rom your running and place it in the sip for the kernel in system/framework/ and reflash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasontx:
Ok flashing the test kernel now, will report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Not sure. It could be that, it could be the Engadget app went guano, could be none of the above. I'm off work tomorrow so maybe I can get better data then. This kernel is so close to awesome, I just want to do what I can to help it get there.

Alright, so I ran 5 different benchmarking apps 3 times each with both v0.05.2 and v0.05.6 to test performance. I ran it on Lagfree governor, 1836MHz Max, 384MHz Min. Here are my results:

v0.05.2

Quadrant: 3804, 3929, 4211

Smartbench 2011: 3702-2408, 3780-2403, 3820-2454

Vellamo: 1049, 1058, 1065

CF-Bench (Overall Score): 7366, 6502, 7161

Linpack (Multi-threaded): 55.961, 50.819, 64.897

v0.05.6

Quadrant: 3988, 3965, 4170

Smartbench 2011: 3732-2452, 3739-2435, 3718-2427

Vellamo: 1136, 1064, 1044

CF-Bench (Overall Score): 8313, 7994, 7666

Linpack (Multi-threaded): 58.524, 53.494, 49.798

So, it seems that, even though CK3+ has been disabled in the beta build, performance is still better at the same speeds and governor. I'll report back tomorrow with the results from battery life.

-Mr. X-, do you want a picture of Battery Spy for the battery life or do you just want how many hours and what kind of usage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
either or. a pic or just the stats.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Okay, I'll let you know how the battery holds up tomorrow. I thought you said that with CK3+ being disabled I shouldn't be getting as good a performance as on v0.05.2, did you add other things to help boost performance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
So far this is a test on lagfree with moderate usage. Aside being on the usb cable for a min to copy files. thats 16+h of discharge, and accordign to the app it can last for another 12h, but that number is dynamic according to the %hr discharge.

Right now it says i can go for a day at 1.4%hr down lol

take into account i got 5h of sleep in there some where.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ashtear:
How do you people get so much time out of the stock battery? I'm lucky if I get 8 hours out if it...

I'm running Juggernaut 2.6 with Synergy kernel 0.05.2. The lowest I've been able to reduce energy consumption according to Battery Spy is about 6%/hr when I turn off internet and lower max CPU clock to 800mhz, with it peaking at 44%/hr when playing Battleheart.

I know this isn't the right thread to post, probably, though this is with the Synergy kernel, so it might be relevant. -shrug-

Anyways, any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phewizzo:
Ur on 3G though... what about 4G?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I'm on 4g all tmobile roms show 3g on telus devices for some odd reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Any one else who flashed the test havign luck with the battery and how is performance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Performance is great so far. Here's a screenshot of my usage so far.

I'm at 60% when that was taken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
a little less then 10% an hour then, do you find this acceptable for the way you have used your device so far?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I find that it's a little bit worse than Juggs so far. I was able to use the phone on Wifi and after 12 hours I had lost less than the test build. Obviously it must be because of 3G being on all day today, but I like the performance as well, compared to Juggs. Do you have any idea of what might be causing average battery life?

P.S. The battery life is much better compared to previous versions where I would get 8 hours of battery life, it looks like I might get a bit more with this test build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
the lagfree does use more battery, if you are on that that would explain why juggs gave u better as i ts using ondemand

i'm at 50% battery now so i've fired google music beta up and am streaming music from my google music account to test.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
True. But is there a big difference in terms of battery life with OnDemand and with LagFree?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
lagfree keeps the cpu much more active when the screen is on. This is why its called lag free, the cpu is always ready to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kennyp987:
For some reason i couldn't change the UV values in system tuner with this kernel how do I undervolt?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
This is the first custom kernel that would actually boot on my phone...for a moment at least. If I push the clock speed up to 1.78GHz the touchscreen goes completely unresponsive. If I push it above that to 1.8 then all is fine until at some point the phone hits that 1.78GHz and the touchscreen goes unresponsive again. Actually, its not just the touchscreen. Its every button. I can't even reboot the phone without a battery pull.

I would appear your devicei s freezing from the OC. try 1.56GHZ and move up from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I broke it on my last compile, it should be fixed today, v0.2 will be up and source
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
I did just that :) hence why I know that all that happens at 1.7. Though it didn't freeze. After a moment the screen dims and then the crt off animation goes and the screen turns off. the phone just stops responding to input.
