I removed the ROM specific kernel tweaks from the init.d before flashing the Void kernel. So far so good.

bump, for the new testers ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
S2's zImage = boot.img = zImage / kernel + initramfs / ramdisk.

Kernel is 2.2 MB, overall size is 5 MB due to initramfs.

Same beta.

I'm talking with grisha1 and he will send me a nandroid soon. Without nandroid I can't replicate the SOD so I can't do anything else.

As for init.d, this kernel supports them but in my opinion both loopy smoothness tweak and juwe's ram script aren't good tweaks. The first because rearranging the CPU priorities for that many applications is not a good ideia and sometimes can do more harm than good, and the second because juwe's values are not optimal from what my experience tells me. Aside changing the adj values without rectifying their respective oom groupings, it also has swappiness != 0 for example, which is completely useless and counter-productive. I also disagree on the dirty ratios. For this reason, I made my own sysctl tweaks built-in on the kernel and I don't recommend changing them.

This is what baffles me. The SOD only affects some people.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] uppon2:
Testing beta now. Good luck mate. It sounds like you are focusing on all of the right areas!

Wakeup issues on beta version here as well. Running Cognition 777 R2 with KI4.

i just got this sucker working on my s2 with Simple and Clean 2.

perhaps a comparison is biased coz i factory wiped my phone, while i used other kernel with a aged and loaded phone with other settings and app (still S&C2 rom) and that may not be fair. BUT...

as i see it now its ****ing smooth like hell. i switch on to others and switch back when i feel like it, but for now, i think S&C2 dev should work with you, its all in the same 'zen' philosophy. keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theooo:
Everyone should read this!!

Maybe u can put it in OP dude :p

I like it when devs share not only share their work but also educate ppl by giving explanation to what really happened. Altough some ppl are to lazy to read thread, im sure the other ppl are reading ur explanation and gaining new knowledge :D (including me).

Thanx.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LaMaaH:
Shame this doesn't work with ASOP / MIUI :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theooo:
C'mon dude, the dev said not yet.. How come u said shame on it... who knows when some issues fixed he will support aosp/miui.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] freemini:
I flashed the .beta version 2 hours ago, it's been sleeping since then with wifi on, data is off. And the battery stats are AMAZING. -2mA with 2 jumps to -20(guess it looked for mails). The stock kernel was pretty bad with power management IMO, never went to low values unless radios are off. I'm using KJ3 from Intratech.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Going to retry this on simple and clean, had sod on Hyperdroid_Androimeda yesterday but damn when screen was on this was fluid and fast.

Hi I tried to install cwm 2 over 3 but it reverted upon reboot. West did I do wrong. Cwm got features disabled quite troublesome. Thx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cloud596:
qccording to title of this thread. yeah it was amazing fast, stable enough ,and gorgeous art of kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] qureyoon:
Copy over the CWM 2 directly over the CWM 3, and set the permissions.

Simply installing will work only that one time, after boot, it will be reverted again to CWM 3.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ladyboo:
where is download link void alpha cant seem to see it on first page
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
-edited- solved
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rainbow99:
It works for me, thanks bro :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] qureyoon:
This kernel did not fully support CWM 3. You need to use CWM 2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] qureyoon:
Great :-) and thanks button is there too ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Thanks buddy. Actually i realized some stuff couldn't work on CWM2. Since I have CWM premium, tried download and finally worked. At least, the stuff that I need them to work :p

I'm sure it will happen, the dev is taking time off.

yeah, when dev has his master and after the big party cleaning, i think void will again break some stuff and power our s2 more.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Agreed! Can't wait for the next release. Void echo has already turned my head big time!

wow best kernel for me know,

by the way, im an avid mc3 player, upon using this kernel it was epic; however, charging while playing, I remember bettery was 35% after a while a notification promtp out saying my battery is low, its lije woah? why cant the playing of mc3 cannot compensate the charging.

im wondering if I can apply the uv setting? since initially, I use the uv setting provided.by this kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Yes you can UV with this kernel. Not an issue at all :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmangalos:
that's great, anyway I've already tried it.

I'm wondering if the reason of charging via uc charging cannot compensate the playing of mc3 was caused by voltages?

very nice kernel so far for me

edit: im really having problem upon using while charging, it keeps on dropping down the battery percentage instead of increasing, tested while using skype,

what do you suggest?

Edit: upon multiple test, it looks like the issue was caused by lionheart, lulzactive is doing the trick for me now, ill watch it over and will make some test,

im thinking that maybe my phone is adjusting due to kernel changes,.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _Garry_:
i had this once too. a 2 full charge circles with cache/dalvik wipe fixed it for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbutandola:
I think he said somewhere that he needed to focus on his studies and development would be slower if not halted
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Simuur:
For UV , i just use the integrated ''script'' with void in terminal
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coldflid:
Well i'm not so obsessed but still quite a lot lol

Not only performance but battery has increased too

Man... That sux! I know it is good to focus on studies etc but would be nice if he can release like once a month. Haha! I hope he/she doesn't forget us! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Yeah. I from siyah and I came back here twice! Can't find anything close to void yet...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] apeiron6:
Try N. E. A. K KERNEL :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] barrist:
Doesn't work for non-Samsung roms unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmangalos:
has everyone experiencing a huge battery down from 100 to 65% upon playing 20minutes of mc3, and from 65 to 55% 5minutes of skype.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Already trying. Just flash!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kimitza:
Hehe, with all do respect for Simone, he is not a coder.He just copy/pastes different scripts.I was a tester for his SH roms up to version 3.9.Then he got the darky syndrom, instead of keeping the stuff as simple as can be,he started to mess up,inserting random codes/scripts/tweaks he didn't completly understood.

I used void until today, with no issues at all, great battery life, nice performance&stability. Now i'm testing ICS(KP8) and i'm on stock.Will stay on it for a few days and see the differences,then i will come back on Tornado2(KK5) and void echo, with JKAY odex theme.There is no better combination for overall stability/performance/battery life.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Honestly I been trying many kernel and void is one of the best out there. For me, this is still the best at least for now. I just hope that TS will be back soon cos I really loving this kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fatcobrah:
anybody tried this kernel with cm 9?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Not me... Sorry! By the way, assuming you are using cm, isn't that it is not possible to have a different kernel when with cm? Just curious and been sooooooooo long since I use cm.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fatcobrah:
u can use any kernel supports cm :)

i was using knzo kernel (NOVA )+cm7.1 with my optimus black before i get s2 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbutandola:
Yes. Hope it doesn't turn into another ninphetamine. But on the other hand they have a life and we need to accept that. When it takes us a few seconds to flash kernels it is time consuming to compile, tweak and support them and all that for free. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bclark:
Very likely a bad idea. We need kernel source from Samsung before custom kernels start rolling out
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Agreed. As easy as we see it, the whole process could take weeks. I know how much time it takes and gosh, i wish him all the best though. Been great and I added him and even follow his topics :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
First of all, happy new year.

I still follow the thread on a regular basis; it's really the lack of time for development, at least right now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _Garry_:
take your time. we all know that your masterstuff has top prio for you right know.

in my case i wouldnt mind when you stop the dev. and restart with new kernel version of ics ^^
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Hi knzo! Happy New Year!

Take care and enjoy yourself. PS remember us and we will definitely wait for your update!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] krinyo75:
Hi

I see some sdcard cache problems with echo. When I'm playing movies from external sdcard the player plays them brokenly, please see your kernel what about external sdcard cache.

Thanx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _Garry_:
did you try to raise the read a head value of ext card??

this did the trick for me as i had laggs with mkv movies
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] krinyo75:
Thanks the idea, but the problem is in the kernel, Siyah had also the same problem and in his kernel was the scdard cache disabled, too, although I play only avi files, and I tried it with Lulz Tegrak kernel and that kernel doesn't have this problem, so this is kernel problem :)

anyone can connect bt mouse with this kernel?

I really love this kernel but cant connect my mighty mouse.

with cf kernel mouse works Ok
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
Sure, when I resume development.

I wasn't kidding when I said this kernel only has the bare minimum to work.

Among the 100+ things I removed, mouse and keyboard support are one of them.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mathsmart:
I used speed mod test test that was great overall but I get a lot better battery life on void echo ! but I also got overheating on void on simple browsing for a moderate to long time use, do you have a solution on that ? void is really smooth on my device ! except it getting a bit hot something :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Even if you had bthid compiled in (going a little too far to save 0.05 seconds of boot time?), bthid seems broken on many newer bases. For example it's NFG on UCKK6 bases even with the stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] barrist:
I think i read it somewhere in this post, but I also have the issue of the screen not waking when receiving a call. i think it was also speculated that it has to do with the proximity sensor, which i think is true because i found that one time i was able to wake the screen during the call by covering and then uncovering the sensor with my hand.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Areg8_6:
Yep after every reboot proximity sensor bug persists, covering and uncovering proximity sensor on 1st call solves the problem until next reboot or shut down.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] remorema:
can you please add support on next build. Its a usefull function when using hdmi adapter.

playing angry birds at hdtv rules ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brack11:
I may be sound noobish, but is there any way to make kinda modules for kernel to enable various features? That would make the kernel light but usable for different specific needs.

One more thing - will there be any update for this kernel soon?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mmm286:
I have the same problem than you and the answer that you say it works for me. :D Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Areg8_6:
U'r welcome )
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spelaben:
This is the best kernel I have ever used.

I experienced the best battery life and the best performance with void.echo and I used quite a few kernels available here for a certain time span.

knzo, I love your clear concept and I hope you will continue to develop this kernel after you finished your master.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
really sucks that this kernel has no suppot atm. it is the best i've used so far.

hope to see at lease some updates until february..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] barrist:
yeah,, but i find it better than the other extreme siyah which seems to update every day... too much.

void has been rock solid for the most part
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] remorema:
the only thing missing for my daily usage is keyboard and mice support. apart of that this kernel really is perfect.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Igor 3:
Does this kernel delete whole init.d folder. I had one and there were some files from turkbey rom in there. After flashing kernel the whole init.d folder is gone??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bushido76:
Not the kernel - but the script in the cwm-zip.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fatcobrah:
@knzo

is it hard to add support for mouse + keyboard to this kernel? if not can u make the same 1 with this feature as an extra feature.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] remorema:
+1

if you do that Ill probably use ir for the lifetime of my gs2 and never look back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Asadroid:
@knzo trow us the AOSP user the bone of the MTP bug >_> patch it and i would gladly use your kernel till i change my phone again
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] super_sayian:
hi there , i want to ask something , i am with stock rom 2.3.5 KI3 i want to ask if together with the kernel you have installed setcpu?

secondly if you have it set in 1.2 or 1.6 the cpu for the good autonomy

and thirdly if in the void menu you have enabled the option for gpu uv ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brack11:
Setcpu app is not and cannot be included in any kernel, you need to purchase it on the market or get on developers thread here at xda. From the other hand, if you mean setcpu support, yes, this kernel does support oc/uv with setcpu or other similar app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] super_sayian:
i have it purchased so ,what settings i must input?scaling-lionheart?

maximum cpu?1.2 or 1.6?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brack11:
That depends on your usage and preferences. If you are battery freak, lulzactive governor will do it with some uv and maybe limit to 1.2 or even 1.0. If you want performance, oc to 1.6 and not uv.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tr8cid:
This kernel is blazing fast but I get the worst battery life using it.. ATM I'm running the official MIUI... anyone have a similar problem and any fixes if so?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
I would say give it a few full cycle run before you are actually seeing the right figures. I used Void Echo before and honestly, don't see much draining expect GPS during driving and charging for some weird reasons.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tr8cid:
ahhh k cool! yeah I will give that a shot! Just that right now it is doing nothing and already drained 2% in 40 minutes...Though on CPU spy it says it has been in deep sleep mode mostly... mind = confused.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
I don't think you are supposed to have such high drain unless there are malicious apps. Nonetheless, good luck trying!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] knzo:
I may resume development in the following weeks.

I'm only waiting for a green light on something and then I'll have more time to spend on this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mathsmart:
hell yeah !!! just a couple of update from you and its gonna destroy all the rest :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rzat:
Thats great news m8. Void is still one of the best kenels available. Looking forward for new versions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Igor 3:
yeahh, there are new things out like voodoo module... so its a little left behing, but performance vise its still the best. Update or two and its on the top again.

I have a qoestion. When i flash this kernel it deletes the whole init.d folder. Why? Isnt that bad, there were some scripts in there that came with the rom (turkbey rom).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mathsmart:
im in the same boat as you using thunderbolt scripts but Ill be very happy if you can include some of the best script strait into your next release :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spelaben:
Yay, this is some good news right here. Please keep us updated, I love your kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] remorema:
hell yeah! I can see void #foxtrot blazing in my phone with mice and keyboard support and voodoo louder ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ankit1986:

Its already the best kernel speed and performance wise. With bt mouse support and voodoo louder, it will be perfect.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hacksome:
Please consider adding the Voodoo loud kernel driver support.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] beggar23:
As I left void for Voodoo Louder this is really good news from @knzo. Can't wait! B-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _Garry_:
i know that there is even NEAK kernel aviable, which i think is a good "enemy" for void.kernel.

in performance its even with void.echo, mibby a bit faster. but lets wait and see what knzo will bring us in a new release to slap NEAK into a new "battle". ^^ just joking :D

i hope you can present us a new void kernel soon knzo. solong good luck what ever is coming to you now.

Very good kernel - 2 small issues

HI all,

big respect to knzo (where is your donate-button :) ) for this great kernel. COming from Siyah which is a very good kernel too, but became a bit too "rocket-Science" within the last weeks. As well on my device Void-Kernel is unbeaten if it comes to battery-life which is the most important factor to me.

There are 2 small issues, that can be easily solved:

1. Black screen while calling: Thanks to Areg8_6 this can be easily solved by un-/covering proximity-sensor during first call.

2. Battery-drain while listening to music: CPU stays on 1000-1200 MHz even if screen is off while listening to music. My workaround is to limit the CPU to 100 Mhz in the "screen-off" profile. Maybe some of you have better ideas about that point

I hope this kernel will be updated but not every 2nd day.. once in a while is fair enough

Keep on rockin'!

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
Rocket Science? What do you mean by that? >.<
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Januwar:
I'm the kind of keep it simple guy. Need a kernel that's fast but comsumes as little battery as possible. To achive that goal I don't want to play around with scripts and other tweaks too much. Within the last weeks, this became more and more important @ Siyah. Don't want to blame anyone, there are many people who love to spent a lot of time in tweaking. But for me it has become too time absorbing. As well since Siyah GT 2.5.1. battery drain got worse and worse,, guess would have to get deeper into the tweaks and scripts to achive the same effect that I have with VOID without any additional knowledge..

But again: I have biggest respect for your and Gohakans work!!

Cheers
