[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3labi:
Ill start with what I was trying to do.

I wanted to port the new ICS on my Nexus S i9020, I got ClockWorkMod and Went through all the steps that were needed and then I had to boot the phone to see if it worked, but it stayed on the white Google sign.

I Pulled out the battery and put it back in more than 30 times and still didnt work. So now I cant access the phone itself only recovery mode.

When im in recovery all I get is cache failure, i get:

E: can't find misc

E: failed to find "cache" to mount at "/cache"

E:Can't mount cache/recovery/command.....etc.

Im new to this, Im not sure what I should do. Can anyone help?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
I have had same problem as yours, try flash newer version of recovery via adb in bootloader and then flash rom

ics is not stable yet, flash 2.3.6,wait for another week for ics
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3labi:
Yeah thats what I think I need to do, but i really dont know how Im supposed to do that.. Can you help me out?

re

i'm didn't touch anything ,the problem is i don't have lockscreen on my samsung galaxy ace when i press button to unlock there's no lockscreen ,how can i get back lockscreen i'm confused :( ? ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxas:
If you don't have no lock app enabled then you might need to re-flash your rom, or use a lockscreen app like widetlocker or golocker, I find them better than the standard lockscreen.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceCaker:
try 14 toggle mod

it has an option to disable lockscreen
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hulahulahoj:
Did you try to go under settings/location and security/lockscreen and turn it on? xD
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxas:
You can't disable the whole lockscreen in system settings can you? Those settings are just to disable pin, pattern etc locks, but the slike lock is still there isn't it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hulahulahoj:
I think it depends on the rom he's using. I'm now using cm7.1 and i can't disable the cm lockscreen, although i can enable the stock lockscreen under system and security, so when i unlock my phone i first have to unlock cm lockscreen and then the stock one. So you can also turn off the stock one using settings only.

So if he's using stock rom he can do it, if he's on cm7.x ... he can't xD

atleast not using settings :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentCherryColla:
In CM7.1 and Up, there's an option under tablet tweaks to Disable the locksreen.

:: MIUI.us Doubleshot ::
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hulahulahoj:
Damn, i knew it was somwhere but didn't think of checking there xD

So there you have it, you can disable lockscreen using settings only :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] summer-wu:
thank you ,i never see the tablet tweeks option, the "Disalbe lockscreen" option is there .CM7.2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] psb07158:
Glad to see you on here knzo, still using your NOVA Rom on my mum's Optimus Black and it's fantastic.

Will definitely be giving your kernel a try!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Interesting will give this a shot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
I like how you write and i you say what is wrong or right.

I think I will give this kernel a try. Only using Hardcores kernel for a long, long time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] onurboj:
will test it now :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DaveHTC200:
A very interesting looking kernel.

Thank you for your effort!

I will start testing soon :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] niko1986:
Does it matter which kernel the phone is coming from? I am on KI4.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariosraptor:
Hi. Just on question. Does this support init.d scripts? Thanks

One answer :
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
I just had to reboot after the phone wouldnt wake from deep sleep, only had the kernel in for about ten min. It seemed pretty smooth though, I'll keep an eye on this one for a while.

Cheers OP for the new kernel dev.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
After flashing this kernel, I'm having serious wake issues. If my display is off for any longer than a minute, i am unable to wake the device. Also, while my device was idle, i saw battery drop from 45% to 16% over the course of 15 minutes or so. While the device is being used, performance and battery are the best I've seen [so far] in any of the long list of kernels i've run.

Sent from my galaxy.s2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
Doesn't happen to me often but I sometimes have to press more than once (power/home) in order to wake up from deep sleep. Happens like 3 times a day but never takes more than 5 seconds. Since it's the first version I still have to smooth out some edges but so far I'm happy with the apparent results.

However, I'm going to include a known issues section with this.

P.S. Thanks for the feedback on bold, it's always nice to hear.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
I was trying to wake the phone for about a min or so before rebooting, Ive had the same issue a couple of times with other kernels but they have come right like you said, after a few attempts. But i agree with the guy a couple of posts up, when i was using the phone it was very smooth, didnt have the crazy drain he had though which is good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
I've been using it for 2 days and no drain either. Smooth as butter.

Indeed, the main issue I've found is the annoying resistant deep sleep but never had to reboot it. Just as precaution I already added it to the main post. Oh, and an issue on the photo preview (not gallery) but I wasn't sure if it was a kernel or ROM problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pacc:
Great to see you already pulled the trigger!

You are aiming for a killer kernel, and I'll be following this thread closely.

How stable/safe is this first alpha version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
Ill watch out for that one, Ive gone back to a pervious kernel while im at work, kinda need the phone to wake, but i will definitly try this one again when im home.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Deleted member 308374:
pretty curious to see how it will compare to others once polished up and refined... I'll stay tuned ;)

Keep up the Good work, dev!!

Deep sleep does not wake up here.

Otherwise very smooth.

Hows The battery Drain ? I am also using Turkbey Rom which is the best i have used to date and reluctant to flash just yet. Little red devil on my shoulder keeps saying GO ON DO IT. Battery is best i have had to date too, hence the hestitation:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] davelinders:
How about gameperformance?

And anyone like this kernel more then speedmod?

Do I need setcpu or is it not necessary?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NunxPT:
yup, +1 with the small delay, but it's no big deal.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chemita:
I think it is not necessary .... since the governor is unique and the cpu is 1200
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Urokinase:
Can't say something about battery because i flashed new kernel in the morning :-)

Knzo, have you done anything to shorten the time it takes to charge the battery or is it stockvalue?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mighty_X:
I tried your beta but had hard issues... Phone switched off once. Twice I had to hard reboot cause phone was stuck.

sometimes very long display on delay.

And listening to music (poweramp)

is almost impossible, especially when switchinga a song when screen is off.

And my battery behaved very thirsty...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Thedonk13:
i've ran charlie now for almost a full day...over night anyway...and WOW!! speedmod would usually lose me about 1% an hour overnight...i got a lot going on with my phone....with this, i lost 8% in 11 hours....nice job KNZO...looking forward to Delta!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jibreil:
A few quick questions:

- I suppose the 'Lionheart' governor is enabled by default, hence NO need for SetCPU?

- How do I implement the init scripts attached to the OP?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Looks like battery drains pretty fast when actively using the device, can anyone confirm?

I have no major wake locks and no rogue apps...been chasing battery performance for months now ;)

Sent from my SGS2 - Checkrom Revo 3.1.1 | Speedmod k18 | Vertumus ICS Theme |
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
They are already active. No need for SetCPU.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blade3200:
Using .charlie and besides the great battery life finally i can play Angry Birds and see the long flight on some birds without glitches (that occurred with CF-Root, Speedmod and Siyah).

Super smooth.

Amazing kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If my understanding of conservative governor is correct it is it goes up slower, but stays there longer (like a good sex) so actively using your phone will use more battery, but I wouldn't call it drain.

Something else may drain your battery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
My fault I used the wrong word Sir.

Fact is that, as you say, while using the phone, battery sips down very well...not reaching 4h screen on time in 10h out of charger, Wifi always on and connected.

Will report back after another full cycle ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JayJ-1974:
Tried beta and had SOD, didn't get a chance to try beta8. Been using charlie for the past 2hrs 30mins on pretty much stock KI4 and no SOD but my CPU is favouring 500mhz, is this right?

Haven't been using it long enough to gauge battery life but awesome job Knzo, a real work of art!!

Rooted - CWM - void.charlie kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Remoteconcern:
Came back from AOSP just to give this a shot.

Feels incredibly smooth, and love the fact that all the filth is removed!

But CPU definitely reports a higher percentage of time spent in the higher frequencies. I'll run it for a couple of days and see how much time I get out of it.

I also had issues with it locking to a minimum of 500Mhz, then I uninstalled SetCPU (which I had left on, stupidly) and cleaned out init.d of tweaks. Seems to be ok now.

No issues here, runing latest revolution rom, and using LP pro

Trying your kernel and it seems very fast and stable.

Very nice work.

Only had it on since this morning, so will have to report back.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fauert:
How to : cleaned out init.d of tweaks ? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:
+1 how to:D

anyone ????
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Remoteconcern:
Nothing more complicated than opening Root explorer, navigating to system/etc/init.d and deleting/moving what is there somewhere else!

The ROM I use (Simple and Clean) had a few, didn't know what they did, so got rid.

hope that helps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DobermanS:
a bit confused... how it could be efficient to set min freq to 500 ?

or it's only with screen on ?

because if not,it's means that for example - during driving connected to BT (total 4h a day) phone will stay 4h at 500Hz ... 8-/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
Knzo, good work mate. I've no SOD issues with Charlie, been ruining it for about 3 hours fairly heavy, and its waking everytime. Woo hoo.

Battery seems pretty good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:
just checked system/etc/init.d and theres no init.d folder is this bad
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brendonwardmusic:
Just transferring the kernel to my phone, will report back on charlie when I've broke it in.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Use root explorer and navigate to the following: /etc/init.d/ folder
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DobermanS:
strange suggestion... and if all scripts in init.d are from ROM install ?

for example CheckRom 3.1.1...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Thedonk13:
i've got some pretty good battery drain when using the Navigation, making a phone call, and sending a text...lost about 10% in an hour...pretty steep drop on the graph as well...

i do love the kernel and i understand that this is a performance kernel, not so much a battery saving kernel...gonna keep running it today...so far 14 hours on and only 25% down...with an hour of heavy usage in there..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sid9922:
I got this on my iniy.d folder.. What should I do with this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spirt:
200mhz state almost unused during slight usage (only book reading and tapatalk).

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
Beta-testing delta already.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Vash:
So... this (short, since I flashed the kernel at noon) day has come to an end.

My initial impressions:

The kernel is extremely fast and responsive.

Animations are very smooth.

I managed ~5100 in Quadrant.

However, when it comes to power consumption, it didn't do that well. After almost 11h, with 2h display time and 30m of voice calls I'm down to 33% already. I don't see this making it through a tough full day as is :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Thedonk13:
sweetness!! look forward to delta!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jangomango:
Is it just me or does this kernel stay at 500 and above?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] antt00:
It not just you. The charlie void kernel is set to run from 500 - 1200 mhz. Which is why people reported 500mhz is used a lot. Not really batt friendly for me as i also uses my phone to read books as well and the cpu freq cannot be changed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sunwee:
I too notice higher drain while using the phone. yes, it sleeps well etc but using the phone is where it drains the most, nothing even particularly intensive, just messing around, doing some surfing, music etc.

probably something to do with the min scale being locked to 500mhz? any particular reason why?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
delta has OC/UV support.

Frequencies default range will be 100 Mhz - 1000 Mhz and a small UV will be applied (which can be easily disabled).

This should cover the higher battery consumption while it's awake.

Lulzactive governor has also been added (Lionheart still default and providing me better results but one more choice for you isn't that bad) and I'm working at the moment on an interface you'll see about later.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Martin5000:
I've been running with the charlie release for a few hours... and DANG that thing is smoooooooooooth and extremely close to being lag free no matter what I scroll. Seems like I'll finally be able to get all my iPhone owning friends to shut up :D Unfortunately, like others have reported, Deep Sleep and 200MHz states appear to never be used... unless starting up eg. SETCPU with a screen off profile limited to 200MHz max.

I must say that this kernel looks VERY promising and I really do like the concept of keeping it simple (regarding user options), fast and light. For now, I'll probably stick with Siyah 2.2b11, but I'll definitely give the future releases a run.

Keep up the great work! Please :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] omniwolf:
hi knzo thanks for your kernel efforts. gok in the siyah thread mentioned that disabling filesync could potentially cause data loss:

are you able to respond to this? i remember this discussion point coming up in HTC desire kernel and filesystem mounting tricks and the general consensus was that potential data corruption/loss was a risk that wasn't worth the performance gain..

i'm not suggesting anything evil is going on :) but it'd be great if you could put our minds at rest.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knightnz:
Seems to make things boot noticably quicker (possibly due to no boot animation?) - by "noticably" I mean about 2-3 seconds quicker.

The RILJ Dialer process seems to have a permanent partial-wakelock running which is possibly preventing the phone going into deep sleep. This wasn't the case with Siyah previously.

EDIT: RILJ issue caused by fast dormancy having turned itself back on somehow. Disabled it and issue no longer persists.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
What he said is wrong, it's not a benchmark cheat.

A benchmark cheat is this: "mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /path-to-benchmark" which is present in siyah kernel v2.1 and enabled by default; and in my rawr script.

Disabling sync features boosts I/O operations at the cost of data integrity. While I've used this since my first Android and I never had any problems, it is nonetheless an issue to take into account and I respect some might want to enable filesync. This is why in the delta version there's an interface to easily enable it, so everyone is happy.

Faster I/O operations are important when it comes to opening/closing apps so it affects overall smoothness; those who say otherwise are just plain wrong.

Be at rest, you can disable this in delta with a few clicks.

(Off-topic) If following the Greek-alphabet for version control, the 3rd revision would be "gamma", not "charlie".

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alexhee:
Thx for the nice Kernel. Great speed & smooth kernel! However, as stated "Disabling sync features" has impact on the apps integrity. Last time, when I tried Siyah's Kernel I encountered the issue where some apps I installed were not recognized or missing after I did the wipe cache/dalvik or reboot. I have to reinstalled all over again. However, those only happen for apps stored in "android_secure".

Now, Siyah's Kernel is no longer have this issue as I understand he fixed it.

Just tried Beta8 the day before it's not happen but now is using charlie seems to have this issue. Not important but did causes some issue for some users with lotsa apps like me. Just for info.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jellyb:
Just noticed i'm getting some kernel wakelock with bln when the notification lights are on

Tested that the phone stays at 200mhz and doesnt go into deep sleep when notification lights are on using cpuspy

Is this normal and is there a way to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sunwee:
this is a problem with BLN implementation on SGS2 in general. Unlike on SGS, where the phone can still go to sleep with the led lights on, on the SGS2 it stays awake.

AFAIK, can't be solved unless someone comes up with a better version of BLN.

I'm at 21 hours of usage and 62% battery left on Void Charlie....it does use some juice when actually being used, but it's fast and i love it!! and when it's sleeping, this thing doesn't drink ANYTHING...it's amazing how well this phone handles deep sleep and power consumption...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] glenncain:
do you use juice defender? what connections are on all the way?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Thedonk13:
no juice defender...i want honest results from my kernel...

i have exchange sync pushing two accounts...FB updating every 4 hours...i ABUSE soundhound constantly...i used Navi today for about 45 minutes (screen on the whole time) made about 5 phone calls all about 10 minutes apiece...sent a few texts, nothing major...

today was an average day and all is looking well...i wont lie, it drains when it's being used...but it's smooth and sexy...i like the ramping up, i would prefer it to only go to 1200 when needed, but hey, it's fast...i'm sure in a few more editions we will iron out everything....this kernel has a lot of promise...

reminds me of the days when i would follow Netarchy's kernels for the EVO....

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] glenncain:
how do you "abuse" soundhound? 10 song search in 2 hours? by Navi i assume gps is on too for at least that 45 min too? 50 min of calls eh.

it seems you dont really use data alot other than syncs.

your post did remind me to calibrate my sync settings. speaking of which, how much is your average drain % per hour? i think thats an interesting segment of battery life comparison too
