That is why I have to make them optional. Those steps (and also 160 and 520) are stable on some devices such as my previous device. And simplifying the gpu tab will make stweaks load faster. You will always have an option to customize the steps and thresholds using init scripts.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RovG:
So far v5.0rc2 is looking good. I had to increase gpu step 5 voltage by 50mv to 1100mv for my device.:thumbup:

In terms of options in extweaks/Stweaks. I personally prefer the way it was in v4. I'm an android fan because it offers me the freedom to choose, unlike :banghead:Apple's walled in garden which takes away that liberty. Therefore the more options the better. If you want to protect inexperienced users from themselves, then I think profiles is the best way. One could also insist that users use the default profile before reporting any issues. Additionally, we could ensure that the default profile is so great that no one would need to change. Andreilux seems to be having great success with his Perseus kernel being optimised from out of the box. We could try something similar for the default profile.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pilgrim011:
New kernel crashes my device. What's weird - it's crashing even if I select max freq 260. And I even tried lowering/raising voltages for some steps (200 & 260 MHz). At some point it was crashing with practically same steps and voltages which worked perfectly fine on rc1...

Btw., it's probably irrelevant for the development, but I think that many users whose devices can't handle new GPU freqs have replacement motherboards. I'm one of them.

Weird results with rc2, its running stable on Sammy XWPLY, but its freezing on CM Nightly 20121031 nearly right after a reboot...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrxd:
Definitely weird with rc2, running CM 10 Nightly 20121028 here, when the device booted up, I swiped to unlock the screen and it vibrated out of my hand and wouldn't stop until i vol up + power + home. Tried twice and same thing happened, had to re-flash rc1. Points of note, i reset extweaks profile in recovery before flashing, also battery was under 20%.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sronweb:
Same to me. Basically unusable. I have restored succesfully the second ROM and then reflashed rc1. Thanks for the support GM!

my device hang after the PIN screen.. i cant grab any last_kmsg but i will try to grab it.. im using rc2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robertobsc:
Use adb shell to do it. With that it isn't need to pass the pin screen.

I'm really surprised that the rc2 version worked for my device. Until now no reboots or freezes... I installed it 30 min ago, played a ping pong and everything was fine. Then I went to dinner and when I came back the cel was rebooting... Lol

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pilgrim011:
Yeah, weird. My device is unusable with new kernel when using stock 4.0.3 Sammy ROM or CM9. BUT, on stock Sammy 4.0.4 (XWLPY) it seems to run stable. I have tried to stress GPU by using Quadrant and Nenamark 2. Quadrant test went fine, Nenamark 2 freezed the device at some point, so I rebooted sgain to 4.0.4 ROM, raised 330 MHz step voltage to 1100, rerun Nenamark 2 and this time it was ok. By the way, my result was 55, I don't know how good is that, but maybe it is useful to someone. After that I played very heavy game - Virtua tennis - all ok. But then, as soon as screen is off, the device keeps rebooting. So, on XWLPY with screen on everything is fine, screen off = reboot. One more thing - battery is draining unbelievably fast.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robertobsc:
Same to me. Reboots when screen off.

Important: with charger it doesn't reboot in screen off.

Here is the last_kmsg.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fjkum:
Same problem I am facing here too.

I think it might be related to BLN settings.

Try disable BLN feature entirely and observe the behaviour?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
Didn't I mention that rc2 may be unstable on some devices or not?

In other words I am not interested if it doesn't work on your device. Do not clutter the thread please.

There are devices that it works fine and if your device cannot handle that change then there is nothing I can do.

And since there is no people reporting that it works (except for my precious device's owner) I am removing it in the next version (probably the release)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] the-cybersapien:
RC2 is Working gr8 on my S2.

I am using Alliance ROM v4 with some modifications. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wallaceff:
RC2 working with RR 3.10

Maybe just hit thanks if RC2 works for you?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] red.hat:
GK, camera is not working new kernel release. I guess it is due to the instability you mentioned. Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem.

False alarm, camera is working now. Ignore above post.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] edzamber:
RC2 don't works for me with RR 3.1 :

SOT BRICK !!!

Posté via RR 3.1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
people reporting rc2 doesn't work on their device despite the fact that I have clearly stated new GPU frequencies may be unstable on some devices make me feel better that I sold my s2.

EDIT: removed all kernels. no more test releases until the final release...

please do not share any v5.0 test releases...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] d3l1:
sorry but as if the users of other phones are different. you can't blame a phone on the stupidity of it's users. the s2 is still a great phone!

hope your testing team gives you the feedback you need to make a great final release, :good: looking forward to an awesome 5.0 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] -earth-:
Here no problems with rc2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xDa_nightfury:
respected GM,

We all appreciate your hard work and we all love u.

The only thing we did wrong is by spamming our problems spontaneously as we came across.

The only aim we are having is we will have the best kernel for our precious sgs2. Please dnt get disturbed with the spamming..

We all are with you :)

Go gm go... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cheewaca:
RC2 is working perfect on XWLPW stock rom. I have to change voltage of 330Mhz to 1100 and all is working better than previous versions.

Lulzactiveq governor give me the best scrolling xperience.

Thanks for this version with new gpu freqs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] d_Schizzo:
Can it be that only CM10 users have problems with new gpu-steps? Always reading "stock rom is working fine" but CM10 users all say that this is not working (including me).... still a suggestion....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cheewaca:
CM10 is an unstable rom. On CM9 RC2 all benchs work fine too so Maybe that the problem could be the CM10 rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Seth25:
RC2 is a disaster for my phone, constant reboot, basically unusable.

Anyone have a link for b2, that one seemed to work ok.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I need some help to test v5.0 on cm10...

please send me a PM if your device could not handle rc2 and you are using cm10...

I currently have a spare s2 now but that is perfectly working with vpll mode even without the last hack I have applied.

EDIT: I got enough PMs. thanks for the help. I am waiting for the feedback before I release v5.0
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shoman94:
gokhanmoral;

Would you be interested in making a version for the i777 users? My understanding is that 2 small changes need to be made for the kernel to work on our phones which I'm sure you already know.

Thanks and v5 looks very promising.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RovG:
Hi Gokhan,

It doesn't work.....:o

O.k. O.k....just kidding :D

Still busy downloading it.:)

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
there will be another exclusive feature in v5.1... (another dream... I'm not sure if it is possible at all)

which will be downloadable via stweaks only :P but only after I push stweaks sources to github and publish the app on google play...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Your ideas and dreams make our crippled devices fly :D look forward to it GM
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RovG:
Whereas my device was not stable with RC2, v5.0 stock standard out of the box feels great. :thumbup: with vpll enabled.

Will monitor and report back later.:)

Led timeout doesn't work on stock ICS ROM? (XLPD 4.0.3) Anything else just works awesome. Thank you for this GM :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spyr0s:
Same problem on Alliance 4.0.4 XWLPX using Samsung's settings

edit: Also got my first SOD ever on Siyah, seems that VPLL is not stable for me
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
try using led timeout in stweaks...

and vpll may still be unstable.. the trick is to fall back to mpll before going into deep sleep and to restore vpll mode after resume.. if you have problems uncheck vpll mode in stweaks.

lastly, sweep2wake is changed a little. you need to sweep straight.

if there are still some other bugs, live with them or use another kernel...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
I'm on lpx, my LEDs got a little confused after installing the kernel, but I had to mess with both display settings and stweaks settings to get them working the way I have them, so set them how you want stweaks I have it ROM defaults and go back to display settings and set them there, had to do that a few times for them to stick.

Otherwise everything is running smooth with the new vpll mode, no reboots or sod's.

I was waiting for slide2wake too, thanks

Thanks GM for this excellent kernel, its perfect, I'm buying a nexus 4 soon but still keeping this phone because of this kernel, it makes the phone such a pleasure to use.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Floydfire:
I can't control my self for the new 5.1 version so. Thanks for your time dev like you it's like the god of developer. Your kernel was the most awesome. BTW some spoiler about your new challenge/ dream? Or I miss something?

It's my understanding that you have to set the lights to always on or always off in the stock settings then set the time you want in the led time out settings in STweaks.

You ARE CORRECT... if the person you were responding to took 5 minutes to read he'd know that
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mattisfaction:
Absolutely brilliant... I'm using slim bean latest build, vpll is working without a flaw, over clocked to 1300 like I like to do, boosted the speaker and headphone outputs.. the sound is crisp, changed my governor to sio and I'm away using a very responsive, nice touch interface balanced kernel.

V5 final release is working great with the VPLL enabled.

Cant hit 520mhz on the gpu stable(only light benchmarks) but 333,400 and 440 are stable.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Unexist6969:
Try 267-267-330-440-520mhz // 1050-1050-1100-1200-1300mv // 20-20-40-40-60-60-80-80% thresholds

don't blame me for blowing up your gpu :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tdamas:
Which gpu frequencies are available with vpll disabled? My device isnt supported.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I had a GPU related SOD on a vpll-safe s2 using vpll-mode on a Samsung ROM and I can reproduce it by pressing power button several times...

I made a mistake in vpll-hack which makes vpll mode more stable on vpll-unsafe devices but it made the driver less stable on others.

I will try to move that hack to a better place..

I could not reproduce that problem on cm10 but if you have any SOD just disable vpll mode.

but in a way, I am happy that the kernel supports cm10 better than any Samsung ROM :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AN7 OverClocker:
Nah, those settings made it even more unstable

My settings were 66-108-267-400-520//900-900-1000-1100-1350 with stock thresholds

Your gpu is able to run 520?

The RC2 couldn't work on CM10.

RC1 was ok and now the final release also works like a charm
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
So it's safe to leave vpll on CM10 then? :D

D: SGSII I9100

R: CMX

K: Siyah 5.0+

M: I9100XXLQ6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Unexist6969:
Yeah I was getting freezes with less voltage & lower freqs. These settings seem stable for my device, 267mhz usage is mostly like 0-20% while scrolling/browsing/swiping and games don't even go over 266mhz only benchmarks

no freezes yet for like 2hours ;p

EDIT: maybe 520mhz froze for you becuz down threshold is 55% so it goes from 520mhz to 66mhz, so 1350mv to 900mv that can cause freeze

Hey ppl quick question am currently using siyah 4.1.5 dual booting stock 4.0.3 LPQ and pa 2.16 if I flash siyah v5.0 will I lose 2nd ROM (pa 2.16) ? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AN7 OverClocker:
nah, it was unstable inside the nenamark that gpu is 100%.

No, you will not loose it :)

a quick question. With VPLL disabled we will get the classic frequencies?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Unexist6969:
yeah nenamark freezes everything else is fine also with 100% gpu

Crazy beep bug after started to play the music about 1 ~ 1.5 hours in 5.0 official.

When it appears, all of output stuffs(speaker, 3.5') are sounding beeeeep.

The sound hears like the one while having a headache :(

I didn't have been notified in any previous beta builds of 5.0s...

I'm using 5.0 official with PA 2.52

I amplified 0 to 3 via STweaks and applied 'echo 10 > /sys/devices/virtual/sound/sound_mc1n2/AVOL_HP' through the init.d script and my additional properties for the sound are 'persist.audio.fluence.mode=endfire, persist.audio.vr.enable=true, persist.audio.vl.enable=true' and my music app is latest PowerAMP.

--- Added ---

It has gone after I did hot reboot... What's going on:confused:

--- Added again... ---

All of apps related playing sounds (Equalizer - Widget can't show the present EQ and terminates itself when launching, PowerAMP - EQ effect dead and music stops in 2~3 seconds, etc...) is terminating ifself...

I think I have to reboot my phone :eek:

Others report u later.

sorry for my bad english.

comment I'm having SOD's with the new version 5.0, also the battery consumption after installing the kernel is somewhat high, to install had the phone with 100% load 5 minutes after installation was 89%, without using wifi , gps or data, finally the wifi signal quality decreased ah, h'm using stock rom telcel

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
This is a pretty major undertaking - it would require major efforts in analyzing, understanding, and changing the suspend/resume cycles. Messing around in this area is a GREAT recipe for SoDs! That said, since we now know that ICS not only doesn't fix it, but makes it worse - I think kernel developers will be looking at this eventually. (I don't know about GM, but I was in a holding pattern waiting for ICS.)

ANYTHING that reduces the maximum frequency has a chance of causing a crash - it's not an SoD, as it can happen with the screen on too. It seems to happen when the maximum frequency is dropped below the current frequency (I think with one step leeway if you haven't implemented https://github.com/Entropy512/kernel_galaxys2_ics/commit/e17259ace55217e26706a8667e6f274fbe95afa7 - will test this tonight, right now I'm on a kernel without it.)

Best way to test this:

Install StabilityTest

Start the standard test

Use Home to go back to the home screen without stopping the test

Start SetCPU

Reduce max frequency to 1000 MHz - if you don't have the above patch, you'll see it is still at 1200. If you do, you might crash here.

Reduce max frequency to 800 MHz - guaranteed crash for me here.
