Full FAQ - All questions with answers will be compiled here.

Below is a list of all questions that have solutions provided.

Question: What does it mean by no AOSP support?

Answer: AOSP roms are CyanogenMod based roms like CM7, CM9, MIUI.

- Samsung based roms are supported (except for ICS XXKP* based roms) in current versions (ICS, MIUI etc themes are just that, themes, they have no impact on rom or Kernel).

- Samsung based roms will usually say they are based on one of the following:

XXKE*, XXKF*, XXKG*, XXKH*, XXKI*, XXKJ*, XXKK*, XXKL* (* stands for build number)

Question: I'm getting lag when playing games like MW3, GTA III, etc. What can I do?

Answer: Changing to the ondemand/interactive/lagfree governors will provide better performance, but may decrease battery life.

Question: Why can't I see any of my photos in Gallery or my music in Music Player?

Answer: There was an issue with this for some in v1.1 and below, this should be fixed in v1.2

Question: Why can I choose governors in CWM recovery as well as in Voltage Control?

Answer: The options in CWM Recovery are for enabling governor modules only, so you still need to set the governor you want to use in Voltage Control.

Question: Will this Kernel work with the CWM app?

Answer: No, CWM app support is not currently supported

Question: I can't enable Conservative or Lionheart Governors, or the Voodoo modules in CWM, what can I do?

Answer: Make sure that the folder init.d exists under /system/etc/

Question: I have enabled Conservative and Lionheart in CWM, but Voltage Control is not showing Lionheart, why is it not there?

Answer: Because the Lionheart "governor" is just tweaks to the Conservative Governor, when the Lionheart tweaks are enabled you have to select Conservative in Voltage Control. Lionheart == Conservative + Tweaks, this is why it is left named as Conservative in Voltage Control, as adding a separate Lionheart Governor would just make the Kernel bigger for the sake of a name.

Question: Can I change BUS voltages with this Kernel?

Answer: No, You can only change frequencies, voltages are locked.

Question: I've activated the voodoo modules, but they don't appear to be working. Do I need to do something else?

Answer: In order to use the voodoo mods you need to download the corresponding apps from Google market.

Question: I enabled conservation governor and Lionheart, how can I see that both are active and ready to use?

Answer: When you have both modules enabled, N.E.A.K. will add 2files into your system.The first one is located in "/system/etc/init.d/" and is called "S02conservative"; this will enable the module during boot.

The second file is located in "/system/etc/" and is called "lionheart"; the file itself is empty, but the kernel knows that with this file it has to use the tweaks to transform conservative into Lionheart by changing settings.

Question: Why can I only change core speed from 100-1200mhz when the other Kernels give me higher values and better benchmarking scores?

Answer: The S2 is one of the fastest smartphones available, and there is still no application which forces our phone to use its max power. The top 3D games, like Riptide/ShadowGun/MC3/Nova2/GTA3/and other, perform smooth and fast with max 1200mhz.

And benchmarks, come'on guys/girls, do you really need a p-meter to show people how good (y)our s2 is?

Question: On which ROM was Kernel tested?

Answer: It was tested by us, the community, with following Roms

Hyperdroid (deodexed)

CheckRom (deodexed)

Stock KK5 (odexed)

Question: Are custom bootanimations and init.d scripts supported

Answer: Did you read the 1st post? Guess not, then you would already know that both are supported.

Question: I am thinking of flashing this kernel and a new rom. What order should I do this in?

Answer: Most roms these days have a kernel in the package as well. So Flash new ROM, clear cache/dalvik/etc. Then flash this kernel, and again wipe cache/dalvik/etc to make sure phone is clean and clear for best performance. After this you can then flash any other extras you want to add.

Question: I have enabled Conservative and Lionheart tweaks, and set in Voltage Control (NO Frills, SetCPU, etc) but when I restart my phone Voltage Control says its on Lulzactive. What am I doing wrong?

Answer: You need to make sure you save the settings as boot settings after you have chosen your governor/IO settings etc.

I think I got all of the questions, but if you see something that I have missed, please feel free to PM me and I will add it in.
