Ok, here we go:

Always in CWM a system wipe/factory reset

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Flash ROM

Reboot

Reboot to CWM

(not always) Wipe cache/dalvik

Flash Kernel

Reboot

If only flashing a kernel:

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

flash kernel

Reboot

If it doesn't work as it should, I run the kernel cleaning script from NEAK downloader first.

Apps / scripts with root (marked those that run at startup with an asterix):

AdAway

AppExtractor (free)

BackDrop Root (pro)

* BetterBatteryStats 1.8 beta

ES File Explorer

* EX Task Manager

ExTweaks (free)

Fasterfix

* Voltage control (free)

* Voodoo LOUDER (paid)

Other installed apps that might be relevant:

- Apex (in /system/app) - always the latest beta

- Airdroid

- Opera

- Facebook

- SMS Backup & Restore

- Viber

- Swiftkey 3 beta

- Opera Mobile

- PicSpeed Wallpapers

I use SuperSU (in /system/app), the old SuperUser app is not installed.

My current ROM is Wanam v10.9. Problem occurred on Wanam 10.7 and 10.8 also. Before that I used Hydrog3n-ICS (with NEAK AOSP), had no problems there.

Other possibly useful information:

- I didn't have Voltage Control installed all the time. If I use NEAK configurator (pro), then I delete Voltage Control.

- ExTweaks I installed last night, after the problem rose again and I switched to Siyah (for now).

After a clean install I usually use BackDrop Root to restore apk's and data (data depending on the base of the ROM, I don't restore data if switching from AOSP to Sammy). Only USER apps are restored, system apps I never restore.

I only restore data on apps that aren't out of the box ready to use.

If my backup in BackDrop isn't fresh enough, I use AppExtractor to restore apps/data. Here too, I only restore data if a lot of settings were changed in an app.

Lastly I like to mention that yesterday my phone was running great. I always create a nandroid backup before flashing something. When I yesterday wasn't happy with Vertumus theme I flashed, I restored the nandroid of the perfectly running setup with NEAK, but the restored setup freezes as soon as I touch screen to enter my sim-pincode.

You're welcome :)

Okay but some kernels have this right. Also...

"Install zip from sdcard" = Internal

"Install zip from internal sdcard" = External
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Regarding the freezes on some configurations:

I FOUND THE CULPRIT!!

It's BetterBatteryStats 1.8.0.0 RC2 !!

Removing BBS solved the freezes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bajee11:
Yup, was trying to figure that out yesterday and I can confirm it's indeed BetterBatteryStats. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wonsky21:
Is it only newest version or earlier too?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hanhav:
Hope this fixes it! Gonna try. But I am pretty sure I didn´t have BBS installed earlier when freezing but still going to try.

THX!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Soooooo was not my kernel hahaha :D:D

Funny that BBS goes in conflict with my kernel, maybe because of the totally removed debug (dmesg - ram console - last_kmsg and many others)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
Release the update pls :D neak is better then siyah and i want to flash it again but waiting for the new kernel

decrypt storage password???

I just flashed this latest version of the kernel on MIUI V4 latest build and after flashing the ROM and Kernel i am stuck at the white screen asking me enter some decrypt storage password??? i never kept any password for storage and i am seeing this screen for the first time. please help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
All MIUI users of my kernel have that "problem", but strangely i dunno what is causing that....as MIUI is so much different i am thinking of removing its support because it can only mess up the kernel itself

Anyway, i am trying to see what's causing that :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hanhav:
Could it be that Bad ass battery monitor does the same as better battery stats?

Cause I freezed BBS with TiBU and still had freeze. Then I froze Badassbattery too and no freeze(at startup anyway).

And I froze Battey monitor widget too to but I think I´m gonna unfreeze it now and see.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Yeah could be pretty much everything that manages the battery stats....:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nehalem176:
+1 im thinking BBS kinda give some random freeze... notice when not installing BBS no random freeze at all.... Still waiting your update, simone :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hanhav:
So it seems it was Bad ass battery monitor and maybe BBS that caused the freezes :) Thank you Allseeingeye and Simone!

Scrolling is pretty slow at startup but other than that all fine :)

Are you planning to change anything concerning to these BBS/BABM issues Simone?

I really like Bad ass battery monitor but cant use it for now cause I wanna use NEAK:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Dunno, i use the old BBS 1.7.1 and all is working flawlessly, maybe it is an app issue
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
I switched to the BBS beta for the widget ;)

Now I'm back to 1.7.1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheStigx:
Just to be 100% sure. This will work with stock rom? If I choose the sammy rom .tar file, right :P?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Yeah, samsung stock ICS rom needs sammy version

TAR is for Odin :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheStigx:
I don't get it, sammy version is just the official verison of an samsung rom. So that means I need to flash a sammy rom, then flash the .tar file :P?

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Sammy version is for Samsung FW based roms, including stock
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dafunk2:
Cooooosaaaaa?O.o

Simone, non fare il finocchio per piacere eh!!!! :D E' da quando Samsung ha rilasciato i sorgenti del kernel che aspetto di montare il tuo motore. E ora vieni a dire che vuoi mollare? O.o

------------------------------

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? O.o

Simone, don't be a badass, please!!! :D It's a lot of time I'm waiting to run with your engine and now you are telling that you want to give up with MIUI v4 support? O.o

Ahhhhhh....ora va meglio, dai :D

Simone sto scherzando naturalmente eh...puttosto...seriamente, fai che non sei tu a farci uno scherzaccio, ok? ;)

------------------------

Ahhhhhhhhhh, now it's a little better LOL :D

Simone, of course I'm kidding mate.

Ciao and thanks again for what you are doing for S2 community.

Don't give up mate. :)

I cant USB-mass storage, is that a known problem? Please help :(

Whole phone freezes and forces me to hard-reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] poochewer:
His kernel is the best battery performanc

e ive seen on any rom!!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
And have best performace for all aplications.

But i have random freeze :-(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
Is that with undervolting or without (GPU as well?)?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Aragornhr:
Pikachu, are ThunderBolt Scripts 2.6.1 compatible with this kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
Yes, they are compatible :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] poochewer:
I agree same for me

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Actually I recon that Abyss kernel is better for pure app speed, but NEAK is best for batt savings (especially using those configurator settings)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bert3227:
I am waiting for the fix too..... http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
Always with undervolt hehe.

Gpu is very well performace too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
Pikachu i always used same undervolt and always worked like a charm.

With neak the problem is freeze when charging with undervolt or not

Siyah after rc1 {changed cpu freq} ****ed my undervolt

Speedmod working perfect but only for stock rom

All kernels today have type of trouble.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joeherlev:
I am on WamnamLite 10.7 Rom with Siyah 3.0.1 Kernel..

I want to try N:E:A:K hoping for better battery life?

I have flashed latest N:E:A:K Kernel in Odin .. But it get stock on black screen after yellow triangle screen!!

Please help....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
You should understand that the CPU scaling (including how long each frequency the CPU spends on)is different enough that undervolting can sometimes work for one and won't work for another.

You shouldn't use the same undervolt values for different kernels and different ROMs (CM9/MIUI/AOKP etc).

You should undervolt according to the procedure:

- Play an MKV file in software decoding for 10mins at least with frequency limit.

i.e. Limit to 200MHz, play MKV file for 10mins using the undervolt value. Then limit to 500MHz and test again.

Using any other method and then posting freezes/random reboots is extremely asinine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darkgoon3r96:
So basically I can't use BetterBatteryStats without getting any freezes? :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haramizuki:
Using latest neak with latest cm9 and I haven't experienced any freezes with BBS installed.. YET.. will report once it happens. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darkgoon3r96:
Hmm.... thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pmcee:
I do undervolt and cpu & GPU underclocking with bbs, cpuspy and whatever. Totally stable.

If your ROM freezes then do a full wipe and install clean. This helps with 99% of problems.

Haha yeah that's why i am asking for someone that can do this....unfortunately i have both my internal and external sdcard almost full of photos, videos and music :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
will u release the new version before or after the tests?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Only after LOL

I want to do a real big amazing update, and i think i have also found the issue for the hangs (maybe)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
ok good. i rejoice over the coming update :)

You've been mentioned in my results. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
No because Gokhan hasn't released sources for it, and he is not updating his kernel source for a week or so....also it may cause only issues

Oh cool!! :):)

You will love the next 2.0.3, a lot of improvements in general, dunno if all the random freezes are fixed (for me no more so far on latest Hydrogen)

Almost done charging my phone: 70%.. Should I expect it before 100% :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Nope, i will announce it when it is fully ready, and also i still need someone that can test the fixed recovery for formatting the sdcards :D:D

I am also doing some new merges that may help in stability
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gaui:
Cangelog in Siyah 3.1:

changed “format /emmc” and “format /sdcard” to “format internal sdcard” and “format external sdcard” to prevent confusion. In CWM Recovery, /emmc is internal sdcard and /sdcard is the external.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bajee11:
Sure, ill test it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Inkness:
Anyone having troubles with USB mass storage?

Phone freezes when i try to use it. Works fine on other kernels.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
I think he hardcoded it, because the mounts&storage menu is built automatically by the recovery code
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bajee11:
works fine with me. internal gets mounted without any problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Ok so, some news, i know what is causing all the random lockups and hangs, but i don't know how to fix it (yet), so i am searching....

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mathsmart:
Keep in mind the kernels cookers here make there job just by passion just relax its fun to flash and it let us know more and more the phone we have and all the evolution on it

Simone and all the devs out there are not forced to make it for us :)

swagga baby
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kickassdave:
Sorry if my tone was misunderstood. I was really just asking. Getting rather shocking battery life from Siyah/MIUI combo and was looking for an alternative and it seems there are none :(

I appreciate the time it takes the devs and the effort they put in to these projects without pay.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bajee11:
Change ROM, good alternative. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AU_IT01:
I had the same issue with my phone. Now I upgraded to the latest official ICS I9100XWLP8 and use N.E.A.K. 2.0.2 Sammy.

Here, the phone freezes even with the wall charger.

On USB it freezes always if the phone is unlocked, only sometimes if the phone is locked.

I trust N.E.A.K. development to fix this issue with the next version. It is a great kernel!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haramizuki:
tested for a few days and I didn't experienced any random freezes. but i did experienced it with hydrog3n using stock kernel with bbs and bbm. had to uninstall it :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LJP1111:
You can change the charging currents for now in the neak config pro app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nrk_2k:
Hi all,

I know you are all eagerly awaiting the next release of the kernel, but we ask for your patience as we work to resolve issues with the kernel. As you surely all know, the sources from Samsung have been less than perfect, and with every feature Simone is trying to add new bugs arise. I am helping him as much as I can. The next update of the kernel will not be released until we have fixed all the current major bugs. We are sorry if this takes longer than expected, but we only have our spare time to do this in so only have limited time. For the time being the current release is fairly stable, fast, and good on battery. So we ask people to please enjoy the current release and continue with patience while waiting for the next release. We will update as we can, and will be working very hard to sort the issues out. Thank you for your patience.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tenchi0205:
Had anyone came across SOD when plug in charger to phone or usb to phone?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Joshnz:
So which version of this should I be installing using CWM?

The Samsung or AOSP?

I'm running Resurrection 1.1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] XDA mark:
It's very simple. Is resurrection 1.1 a Samsung or AOSP based ROM? :rolleyes: (I think it's AOSP, but I'm not going to check, that's your own job)

@Simone: I'm back on NEAK, have been testing Siyah for a while and battery wise I'm not "super happy". Also Dualboot doesn't intrest me. BLNWW is still in alpha fase... I have learned to live without BLN anyway lately :p

Started testing 2.0.2x on latest Hydrogen today. So far, it's fast, smooth and seems actually very nice on battery! (from initial impression.. the drop from 100% to 90% gives me a early impression. On siyah it would have already been on 90%, while I still have 95% atm with NEAK!)

I missed NEAK! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dafunk2:
As I can see seems like 1.2 was a AOKP. But 1.1?

Assuming it is AOKP so you have to install the AOSP kernel.

Anyway, as I can see has been released the v1.4....maybe flashing the new rom as well could be a good idea ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Joshnz:
Lol.

If I wanted 1.4 I would flash it, but I don't so I won't.

Think I'll stick with what I'm using atm, saves any issues from a kernel that may or may not work?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
so i installed neak again, this time with slim ics and its amazing! waiting for the new update. hope it comes until friday
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sefrcoko:
AOSP version of Neak will work with your ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
What is your battery usage or hour while on standby..?

Running Slim as well buy trying siyah cr6 now, not really happy with the battery while on standby..

Sent from my S2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
Its much better than siyah
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Battery life is better on Neak but V2.02 has some serious stability issues. I did a nandroid backup today and when the phone booted Alex launcher kept FC. Then TW.

Hope this gets sorted cause I like Neak.

Btw...for the guy above...siyah battery drain is solved in rc6.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Do you realise that any kind of FC is not kernel related?

Also, where are the "serious" instability issues? Random reboots or hangs are totally random and 3/4 of the times are rom related, mostly because the behaviour changes depending on the rom
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Not for me mate..

Still losing about 2-3% each hour on standby...

Might just try N.E.A.K and see if it a bit better..

Don't care to much about power usage when the screen is on, I'm using it then, but when I can't get though a day with it using it, that can't be right..

Sent from my S2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Maybe so....don't get me wrong...I love Neak.. just that these freezes I was having started having as well as the fc s only started after flashing v2.02x. I consider "all" stability issues to be serious.

I was running litening rom lp7 & siyah before that for a week without issues.

You've admitted yourself that 2.02x has issues with hang ups.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
Still no release date for new Version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Weekend, friday or saturday depending on my studying ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LexanderMoon:
we are missing news and updates ;)

never saw you anymore in irc channel why?

bello vederti amico mio
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yeahtyeaht:
Nice to hear. Hope friday, want to do a clean flash with rom + kernel :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nrk_2k:
If you consider any stability issue to be serious, then maybe you should still be on GB firmware as ALL ICS builds have some sort of issue. Blaming a kernel for issues seems to be the trend now. If the issue affects everyone on that kernel, its a kernel issue. If it only affects a few, it is most likely not a kernel issue. Simple. Most bugs come from configuration or compatibility issues. Which makes them harder for any dev (rom or kernel) to find and fix. Having issues after flashing a certain kernel doesn't instantly make that kernel at fault, it could easily be left over files, compatibility issues, configuration or even an app. Yes there are a couple of bugs in neak but they are being worked on and only seem to cause issues for some people. My phone has not had any freezes or hangs other those I have deliberately replicated for testing purposes. Please remember that the sources for all ics are essentially beta from Samsung as they haven't released an official version yet. So the devs are working with flawed sources to start with. Some devs have more time or experience or are a dedicated team of many so can release frequent updates. It is only Simone and I working on this kernel (mainly Simone as my kernel knowledge is extremely limited) so please be patient with us. We are working as hard as we can to get the kernel perfect. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I agree completely. I'm certainly not blaming this kernel for my issues earlier although I did jump the gun slightly initially. I take my hat off to u and Simone for the work you've done on Neak and I WILL use it again.

Just out of curiosity... do u use a kernel cleaner ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Stability of this kernel is great! Currently I'm using Hydrog3nICS with N.E.A.K 2.02.x and found no issues other than battery drain!

Every 3-4 minutes I lose 1%, The most screen time I had before it died was around 3 hours :(

No UV/UC.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bajee11:
You should try UV. Could be beneficial.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Ah just ran kernel clean script and flashed thoravukk-2.30 im finding it very laggy compared to N.E.A.K 2.0.2x, I would open up some applications and it would take a couple of seconds to think and then launch, ROM Control FC as well..

Not sure if I'm going to stay with thoravukk-2.30 and flash it back to N.E.A.K or flash it to the new update from Siyah 3.1 RC6..

What are your suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Sounds characteristic of aosp/aokp to me..its the main reason I came back to a Sammy rom.

have u checked BBS?

U/v won't impact battery life a whole lot to be honest. A few minutes at most.

I would look at your rom to be honest. Its more likely the problem. Read back a page or two about my issues earlier and the replies I got.

I reflashed my rom with a full wipe and all is good now again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Du4No:
NEAK noob here, which version do I use?

The Samsung or AOSP one? I am using Sensation ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kersey:
Just want to give a heads up that the AOSP kernel works perfectly with the F1 GalaxyNexus (Pure 4.0.4).

Really, really can't recommend the rom enough. It's fantastic.
