This combination of ROM+Kernel was more impressive than the previous test I did with N.E.A.K. 2.0.2x . Only disadvantage with this kernel was to use so many frequency steps, which I find reduces battery time. (yup battery could of lasted even more if it weren't for all these frequency changes.) But this issue has been fixed in version 2.30 (released today) with the typical frequencies of 100, 200, 500, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 and 1600. Unfortunately, I couldn't screenshot CPU SPY this time due to my carelessness: I tried testing a script on Script Manager but it froze and had to reboot phone:(. For that only reason, CPU SPY had a reset and results were no longer representative. Another big thanks to Para for his amazing Swag :cool: and Pingpong for his battery optimized Thoravukk Kernel.

Once again I'll gladly accept any comments I receive from anyone. If you think this test is not representative/unfair/fake please share your thoughts. This was only done for reference purposes.

* I only have the original standard battery supplied by Samsung. No extended battery was used during any of my tests.

Thanks it if this post was useful :D

Previous Test - HyDrOG3N 14.04 + N.E.A.K 2.0.2x

awesome results :) can't wait til you test the stock kernel with the latest update. :) are you using stock battery or extended? :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grzesdroid:
Battery 2000mah???

SgS || przez tApAtAlk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
STOCK BATTERY :) I don't think I'll need to buy 2000mAh with these results (I was actually considering buying one before these tests) :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cytherean:
Based on you tests so far, which kernel is your favorite?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
So far, N.E.A.K was really good except for random FC was caused by BBS RC2 but older version of that app seemed to stop that issue. But to my surprise, Thoravukk almost gave me 6h of screen time. So Thoravukk is my top one now, but who knows, Siyah rc6 and Stock(apparently really good) might do better.

Open question: Should I open a separate thread instead of "spamming" the thread here lol ? :p.. Awaiting your answer as well Para :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fOmey:
The zip paradoxxx had posted was liberty.cfg, the method I told you generates it on the phone.. if your still experiencing issues may be a permissions issue.. make sure all the files in init.d folder are set to 655..

If you lazy use the "external_sd mount fix" in my signature this sets up init.d for you and applies the fix :)

First thing first, depends what kernel your using.. I use Siyah and init.d is working fine..

Refer to "external_sd mount fix" in my signature that will generate the files necessarily for init.d to work.. along with applying the fix :) so give that a try.

Do same as above.. most likely due to libertry.cfg not being generated, or the init.d folder not having the correct permissions.. my .zip corrects both of these issues.

Use my modpack, it applys a Market spoof fix... allows you to use any DPI and market will always think its 240.. granting you access to all applications.. Refer to the modpack in my signature.

Refer to "external_sd mount fix" in my signature that will generate the files necessarily for init.d to work.. along with applying the fix :) so give that a try.

If this is the new SGSIII im extremely disappointed.. I really like the direct the Nexus has taken with on screen buttons.. I feel SGSIII will follow.. it only makes sense.

Also I think its time for a FAQ page.. I think I may write one up if I get bored tonight..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cytherean:
Are you going to report back on siyah and stock? Unless Para prefers you not to of course.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I would love to get more than 5hr screen time! ATM im only getting around 3hrs or so..

Using Hydrog3nics 1404 + N.E.A.K 2.0.2x, going to flash Thovarukk 2.30 and see if there is any improvements.

Do you think its worth flashing the new update 1804 Hydrog3nics + Thovarukk 2.30?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brutoid:
Cheers for getting back to me. Everything worked fine as per my last post, thanks for your help. Actually going through it again now funnily enough, as the latest update to the rom has wiped all the permissions etc, so just setting it all up again, except this time, i'm doing it all on my own! w00t!! hehe. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Go for it. Im going to update to 18.04 tonight and test out Stock Kernel. Dont forget to use kernel cleaning script and charge to 100%( it always stops at 98-99%, so keep charging a little more.) Usually when I'm done charging, I take out the battery and put it back a min or two late. Hope it helps mate.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alc027:
I don't think so, no. 1804 has removed the flashlight toggle like other roms based on AOKP32. It's a tiny thing but a dealbreaker for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] waylaidwanderer:
I think you quoted the wrong post there, mate.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brutoid:
I'm not sure i follow you?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Yup. Going to do stock Next and finally Siyah. If para doesn't want here, i'll post it somewhere outside XDA as reference, since there's already enough threads about ICS. ( But i always prefer posting here instead of anywhere else lol.. you could almost say it feels like home everytime I come back from reading other threads and read this one) :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alc027:
You can't put a flashlight toggle in the notification bar in 1804 whereas you could in 1404 and all versions before it. This seems to be common to all roms based on AOKP build32.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brutoid:
lolz! :D

Now, i'm following!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kmilof:
anyone? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brutoid:
The volume reduction is a well documented bug. I use poweramp and have set it to pause the song instead of dip the volume and my volume stays the same.

Tapping the volume key after a notification should bring it back to the right volume.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grzesdroid:
Test siyahv3.1rc6??

SgS || przez tApAtAlk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fOmey:
Im sitting thight on current release if thats the case.. use this everyday after work to find my keys.. dodge spider webs, dodge massive ass puddles etc. lol :)

Im wondering if we could extract the statusbar toggle from previous release.. hmm
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 619619:
You actually can, what's the problem?

The only thing still not working for me it's the flashlight from screen off
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brutoid:
I also have the toggle on mine. Just checked and it works aswell.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fOmey:
In that case lets update :)

Also is GAPPS still original version posted on OP? Or has there been an update ?

As per CyangonWIKI 20120317 is current release.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brutoid:
I used the Gapps i've had on my sdcard for a while now, i didn't bother to check for newer versions so i guess you're safe!

20120317 are the ones i've just fired on.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] busterdev:
i like the new update a lot.

could be me, but it feels a bit more snappy then 14.04

also led backlights work sweet (set to 500), weather icon directs me to my weather app and still that solid 5 hours of juize

i'm a happy camper now with the kernel it comes with

great update netchip & paradoxx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Looks like I'm going to give this a go very SOON :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gaui:
Does 18/04 NetChip kernel have Linux 3.0.28?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] busterdev:
jup
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Next on my list.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tenchi0205:
:) looking forward for the result
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Just downloaded this ROM and WOW!!! This ROM is insane! Tons of options and user customizability available. I literally spent an hour setting everything to my liking. Love how it is a very light ROM as well, with not much bloatware.

Just one issue: When I click the menu or back buttons on the bottom, the backlight turns on for like 5 milliseconds, which is super fast. Is there any way to set it to like 1-2 seconds?

Still haven't tested the battery life though. What is the battery life like with the included kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
download Ef File Manager and grant Root Access. Then go to

sys/class/misc/notification/led_timeout and modify it to your liking.

1sec - 1000

2sec - 2000

you get the point...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haramizuki:
read on page 1167 about bln.

I think you have to change the txt file using a file explorer.

/sys/class/misc/notification/led_timeout

battery life with kernel is awesome. bajee11 tested Neak and Thuravukk with awesome results too (check his sig for the posts). He's currently testing the stock kernel now so til then, we have to wait for the results.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Yaminashi:
I'm assuming since the change log doesn't state, this is a FULL WIPE?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Edit: I'll be testing Siyah first, i'm going to leave Stock for the end :D

Usually Para says it if it's a full wipe, or else it's just rom, gapps, dalvik and cache.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yabadabadooo:
Had the same issue wiped several times because that was so annoying that it won't work. The only thing you gotta do is to set the language to English...

sent from your mom's iPhone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Isn't there any task manager on this ROM? Similar to the one on Resurrection I mean.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haramizuki:
Guess I'm too excited. lol Can't wait for the results! :)

question, do I have to take out the battery for a minute or so whenever I flash a non-wipe update or a mod? or take out the battery like maybe once a week?

When I first flashed hydrogen, I took out the battery to let my device successfully enter deep sleep.

When I flash the update non wipe, CPU spy was indicating my device is not going into deep sleep again and it's on 200mhz even when I rebooted my device.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Yaminashi:
Well I looked at the second post on the first page, para always stated if it was a NO FULL WIPE, but it never said anything about full wipe in the recent updates.

Anyone had any problems with just flashing rom+gapps then wiping dalvik/cache?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] derycklong:
See an improvement on overnight drain ;)

Getting 8% instead of 15%
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
No full wipe :) No to be rude, but you should start using the search function soon enough, or else you'll get jumped by the majority of people here :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Yaminashi:
Trust me, I do use the search function. Also me not meaning to be rude, I dont want to read through hundreds of pages of search results. Usually if I cant find my answer within the first few pages of my search I post.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] waylaidwanderer:
I get 1-2% battery drain if I leave it unplugged haha. Check to see what's causing wake locks and turn off data or wifi... I don't usually turn off sync so you shouldn't need to.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kingofthebraves:
Been running the rom for two days now and everything works perfectly except I get random freezes on the music app. Around 5x now and I have to pull the battery to perform a reset.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] redline2097:
I have menu and back button backlights allways on, how to turn them off?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gsmdb:
Better using the script Ultimate_Kernel_Cleaning_Script_v2.5. It does wiping for you w/o bothering all steps manually.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LiFeSII:
Hey Guys,

can i flash the new 18.04 over 14.04 without do a full wipe??

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bervin:
yes, just wipe dalvik and cache
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gsmdb:
SiyahKernel v3.1rc6 w. this ROM works fine. Battery draining is now minimum. Good works!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sahidmiah:
My friend when I do that it doesn't stay saved
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Yaminashi:
It might only be me that feels this way, but I sort of like that the menu/back buttons only flash when you press them. It's almost like visual feedback letting you know that the buttons were pressed.

I dont need them lit at all, I know where they are.

Anyone else agree?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Did you press save after changing the value?

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

yes, but it's annoying when they light up for such a short time. If they light up, might as well light up for longer, because your bound to press them again. If i knew a way of disabling it, I would of done it, because "blinking" light is just another drain i guess. But you're right, it's kinda nice to see them at times.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nolan76:
Yesterday, i flash the Snack Edition onto the 14.04 one just Wipe Dalvik and Cache, and now "Rom Control" forces close at boot.

Is there another way than "FULL WIPE" for this issue. I am so tired of full wiping :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Yaminashi:
But do you really need them to light up for long? Im sure you can still find them in the dark, and in the sunlight theyre not even visible
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ram3n:
Lolz

All i can see is that 88% after 4 h is a big drain.. :p

SiyahKernel is definitely not a keeper.

running out of ideas.. hmm try this, last thing i have in mind:

Open Terminal Emulator

Type su

then echo "1000" > /sys/class/misc/notification/led_timeout (for 1 sec)

I'm newbie w. cfw ics. Whats kernel can you recommend?. Thanks!

external sd card ?? not working? help me please ?? :(((((
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Harvin Dhillon:
Weird problem as the others mentioned with the backlights not staying on even after ticking the option in ROM Options to make them stay on. THey turn off at touch.

Also hold back for kill doesnt work too :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LiFeSII:
Go to /emmc

or try fOmey 's external_sd mount fix
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jibreil:
A couple of questions:

- What is the method to Unmount an OTG Cable/USB Dongle on this ROM?

- Which Lockscreen style allows the Calender Events to appears on the Lockscreen?

- After Disabling Boot Animation - the word "Jerk" appears. That's a bit rude from the Kang dev team eh!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] agabey_42:
thanks but miui file browser and external sd card ??

other rom : settings / rom control / startup device enable, miui file browser in external sd card good, but this rom not working?

Anyone with a fix for the backlight and hold back to kill? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
get ES file manager, in settings enable everything related to root access and mofications.

through ES file manager go to /sys/class/misc/notification/led_timeout

open it with Text and one of the available editor. change value to "0" if you want it to be always on or 1000(1sec) 2000(2 sec) etc.. and then make sure you save it. I think any value over 500 makes hold back to kill work. So they're both related. hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

Mate i just tried to do it through Es File manager, it works like a charm. You sure you checked the right Root access under settings in the app?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] umair9001:
For those facing this problem, make sure your external sd card (aka emmc) isn't mounted on external_sd folder..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Para execellent ROM man and good job done here.. finally found a good ROM that doesn't drain my battery overnight..

I have just one question and it is related to the all folders and file permissions on my Internal and External SD cards.. I noticed with Slim from and urs that all the permissions are displayed ---rwxr-x or 075 for everything under /sdcard and /emmc!!!

What is the problem here? Is it something related to AOKP roms? Last time as soon as I reverted back to Simplistic from Slim I got back the right permissions..

Now I got them back 075 with Hydrog3n.. any idea?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sahidmiah:
Yes I did.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] haramizuki:
@bajee11 do you use voltage control or a similar app?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkgoon3r96:
He uses Voltage Control with the following values:

CPU/GPU (200mhz-1200mhz) (133mhz/267mhz)

CPU UV: 200(825mv) 300(850mV) 400(875mV) 500(925mv) 600(925mV) 700(950mV) 800(975mv) 900(1000mV) 1000(1050mv) 1100(1100mV) 1200(1125mv)

^^USE SETTINGS ABOVE WITH CAUTION, WHAT WORKS FOR HIM MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU ^^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
That means you didn't do a clean flash. I just flashed Siya rc6 and my BLN does not even turn on. I could turn it on with Device Settings but there's no more blinking BLN like stock kernel :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Harvin Dhillon:
Ok that worked as you said it would, thanks :) Maybe should put fix on front page
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Manitax:
Anyone having andoid os battery drain? I have this problem since two days. The first days on the 14th build was no problem. Suddenly I got this problem. I did not change kernel and apps I had istalled I removed.

Now I changed to 18th build (everything stock) and still no luck...its really anoying cause it drains a lot!!!

Here are some screenshots.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haramizuki:
I thought he's either using the option on Rom Control> Performance or the Voltage Control application or both, or other similar app :D

sorry but where can be GPU UV be found? :D The last time I saw it was on the Neak configurator app. or it depends with the kernel?

Also, has anyone tried the lulzactive app by tegrak? was it any of help? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fOmey:
My signature...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
If you're using lulzactive governor, then yes..Lulzactive app is very useful (I use it now to tweak lulzactive settings instead of init.d). For uv I use Voltage Control Extreme (cpu/gpu).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Schrotty35:
Nice, download and flashing :D .

Tried downloading/using Opera or another browser might not be a build issue but a browser one instead...?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Batskoning:
Thanx, will try when my phone is booted for the first time :D

Couple of seconds i guess..

Mr. Para..?

When siyah uploaded he's OAKP kernel, will u include it as standard.?

EDIT: Booting is ready now while typing this mssg.. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mxn-:
yea same problem and I'm not the only one with the problem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] netchip:
Yes, if the ics source is out we'll make out own kernel/use other one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paradoxxx:
I'll include Siyah when his beta 3 is uploaded :).

Yeah, too. With touch recovery.

tried:

Settings > Applications > Manage applications

Tab over to "All"

Select the Google Play Store app, and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache;" then, select Download manager and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"

then relaunch the Play store and try again?

Otherwise try:

Clearing your cache in recovery mode... or check your connection settings. I.e. test it on Data instead of Wifi or vice versa...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paradoxxx:
This :). Thanks. Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day HUHUHUHUHU...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Batskoning:
Haha, and your signature, is outdated and not importent any more :D :p

*Sarcasm*

Now we are busting each other, i found something wrong in op :P

Transfer the zip file you downloaded above to your internal sdcard (not the external micro SD).

Then, select “install zip from sdcard”, then select “choose zip from sdcard”. Then, browse to the file you transferred to the sdcard in step 2 and select it.

I was confused, and now i messed up my f*&%cking phone.. :(

Hahahaha, im joking mate, nice rom so far..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paradoxxx:
True story..

Ahahaha. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

EDIT : Wuuut? There is nothing in wrong in this :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robbiekhan:
Ah excellent, would that be a flashable zip update or integrated into the next version of the ROM? I'm gonna need GPS by the end of the month you see so would be brilliant to have it then else I'll have to restore my CheckROM backup!
