Doesnt CRT off animation work in this kernel?

Yesterday when I flashed CRT off it stopped working after some time.

Even reflashing wouldnt help.

I'm running LP3 with speedmod k3-5. No touchkey light issues here plus krazykat's CRT-Off animation working too.

And thanks for the great kernel, hardcore. I've also noticed that it doesn't heat up. Watched a movie on it with full brightness and was amazed to see that back wasn't getting hot.

When i enable Wi-Fi scrolling down systemUI everything is ok. But when i turn off and exit systemUI phone freeze.

Anyone confirm too?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iNeri:
No problem here disabling wifi from power widget on status bar.

No problem with backlighs on k5 odin version.

On k2.. Cmw version screen don't turn off automatically. Stay always on.. No such problem in odin version.

The only thing is benchmarks scored lower with k5 version.

Antutu in k2 scored 6300 points. Drop to 4800-5000

Cf bench in k2 scored 4700 points. drop to 4200-4400.

Linpack in k2 scored 79 mflops. In k5 69-71mflops

All else working butter smooth..more than k2. Scroll in lp4 don't lag, almost impossible to notice vs lps and k2-siyah beta7-stock kernels where there's micro shutters when scrolling with the free style scroll of lp3. Lps. Lp4.

Edit. I don't know if it's placebo. But I feel wake up from deep sleep very fast! :eek:

Battery life seems same good as gingerbread was.

2 hours on.

1 hour screen on and 89% to go.

Sleep like a rock.

Results for Siyah / SpeedMod / stock kernels

Everything is specific to my phone, my "normal" usage and my home location. Most values are exact results, but some are rounded. I usually have wifi, synch (three email accounts, calendar and news), Google Talk and Skype on.

For all custom kernels, I was running on ICS XWLP3 „Frankenstein“ ROM (Modem: XXLPR).

For stock kernels, I was running on the corresponding stock ROM.

Always using the Samsung's standard / stock 1650mAh battery.

For SiyahKernel, as it has many, many configurable settings, I have changed nothing - just default settings.

I just flashed SpeedMod K3-5 and added its results.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks

Battery stats

Thank you hardcore for continuing your great work for ICS ROMs.

SpeedMod K3-5 is very stable and smooth on my phone.

Its battery life is not as good as for SpeedMod K2-21 running on latest GB ROMs (e.g. XWLA4).

Maybe I have to do a second battery cycle to verify my results, but you are so fast in developing ... SpeedMod K3-7 is already published.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] madpete:
Wow, awesome work. K3-7 performs very nicely, now for battery life test. Thanks Hardcore!

Upgraded ROM to LPS, and "BLN always on" is gone :)

However discovered a new bug - /system cannot be mounted read/write for modifications by adb.

Using stock ROM XXLPS, Speedmod K3-7.

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system

gives "mount: Operation not permitted". Hence you can't really push anything to system folder -

adb push ZSLPE_CallRec/audio_policy.exynos4.so /system/lib/hw
failed to copy 'ZSLPE_CallRec/audio_policy.exynos4.so' to '/system/lib/hw/audio_policy.exynos4.so': Permission denied

Trouble is that unless I can mount -rw, I cannot run a shell script that I use to do some routine processing after each upgrade, eg. for disabling/changing some sounds, and to replace call recorder library.

Workaround: Tried mounting within, but while that is successful, adb still returns permission denied and can't modify system/lib. Only workaround is to install a different root kernel which supports mount -rw, and then install speedmod.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:
You have to do an "su" first before mount will let you remount system, like so:

adb shell

su

mount ....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hirak99:
Thanks that worked :)

However I can't still push something to /system/lib after mounging -rw -

adb push ZSLPE_CallRec/audio_policy.exynos4.so /system/lib/hw

failed to copy 'ZSLPE_CallRec/audio_policy.exynos4.so' to '/system/lib/hw/audio_policy.exynos4.so': Permission denied

Meanwhile "BLN always on" is back! I think it may be because I used the Siyah rc2 kernel (to use adb), and then switched back to Speedmod 3-7!

The Siyah rc2 must be tweaking/changing something which is conflicting with Speedmod resulting in backlights being always on as long as the phone is on. Any way to cure this without re-flashing entire ROM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:
most probably the other kernel installed a modified liblights library into /system. If it made a backup of the original one u could re use it. If not then u'd have to reflash the /system.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulyluca:
Great job, as usual, Thanks for testing. I found your revues very usefull and have often chosen my kernels based on them. If you coukd add also NEAK to your mix, wi will have a complete picture :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] y17dt:
Hey hardcore,

Until the day before yesterday I was stuck with CheckRom on Gingerbread. When I saw your ICS-kernel I immediately flashed latest ROM (LP4). I must say I'm very impressed by the smoothness of this ROM-Kernel-combination.

Battery usage looks very promising, too. Keep up the good work. Thank you mate!

hardcore, is it possible to re-upload this file?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
Hardcore.

One suggestion only. Screen showing cpu using a lot 1.200mhz and 800mhz jumping 1.000mhz.

You can modify a little governor to use more 1.000mhz or is normal jump this step?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emmanueldmc:
Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulyluca:
You are asking a little bit too soon. Right after flashing a kernel, battery might drain faster. You just need to let it settle a bit. That is why you need to wait for a few charging-discharging cycles before you can see the real battery savings potential.

Now, because the last version was released only yesterday, it is to soon to judge about battery life...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] akbarhash:
Like someone mentioned to me when I was using rockbox, the best version is always the latest version, If you have problems report then the next version will be the best version.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crash_194:
That's happened to me before just running stock LP3 ICS. I ended up resorting to a full wipe and reflash of the ROM. I don't think it's kernel related, it might just be coincidence.

and all running smooth. need to make more tests.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emmanueldmc:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pissyhun:
hi

i have latest set cpu but u cant change voltages with it. just profiles and governor.

Because speedmod kernel cant undervolt or overclock hardcore dont like.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mobs84:
Hardcore: After using almost all ICS kernels I can say this is smoothest and most battery friendly kernel released for ICS without too many hassles of code breaking when trying to fix something else. Only request is to have an updated recovery mode which is lagging in the excellent kernel comparing with current standards others offer, also might be add an option for enabling and disabling sched_mc, since we have a group of users who believe in Benchmarks and others who don't, that should cater to everyone's needs.. Just a thought that will keep Speedmod standing on top without a question or a second choice. But great work overall and thanks for lovely kernel.. :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mcmanuf:

Thank you for the impressive work on the kernel benchmarking.

These results should also be posted on the sgs2 generel forum I would recommend, so more people can see these.

Not to sound too needy, but could you also post the NEAK kernel results?

THanks

Do you have any idea why there is such a massive difference between stock kernel and speedmod in antutu benchmark?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
N.E.A.K. ICS kernel is already on my "kernels-to-test" list.

And I will have a look at abyss ICS kernel too.

But now I want to find a good "base" ROM for further testings.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

As I do not trust benchmark scores so much, I only post my test results in kernel-related threads. (Real life experience is more important to me.)

A kernel with best benchmark scores and battery savings on my phone with my "normal" usage can perform different on your phone, in your region with your normal usage.

But thanks for your suggestion.

Significant differences to stock kernels in some benchmarks can have many reasons.

As I do not investigate these results, I can only suggest.

Maybe the kernel developer has better answers, as he has deep knowledge of his kernel and its specialties.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndroidGX:
So.. it seems that stock XWLP3 kernel is the winner :D

Gonna give a try, because I'am curious :)

Never understood why a stock kernel is finally much better for night/day usage... maybe overall : too much tweaks, kill the tweaks ? :rolleyes:

Thanks It_ler
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
I think that custom kernels need some time to "overtake" Google/Samsung stock kernels after a new firmware (OS) version is released.

And I am sure that some custom kernels will beat stock kernels in every benchmark and battery test soon.

And ... don't forget, I am testing custom kernels on their default settings - no UC/UV/etc.

As I am a "light" user, the difference between stock and highly configurable kernels is not as significant as for "heavy" users.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mobs84:
Tombias: Yes I have used all versions of Siyah, to answer your question its not appropriate to compare two kernels which cater to different people. I have the freedom to configure Siyah to every possible tweaks from thresholds to UV using EX tweaks, VC and lot many apps, Siyah has a better touch recovery and soon to be with Dual boot option

But speedmod is for those who wants a solid, smooth and preconfigured kernel without the hassles of personalising it by the user to achieve a good level of performance. I should say that has been the legacy of speedmod. Providing with a hassle free kernel tweaked and while keeping to close to stock without too many personalisation support..

I should say I love both and change between them based on my requirement :)

Thanks. It's working great for me. I had an issue with 4.0.3 I9100XXLPQ ROM and its kernel that prevented display timeout from working properly.

also having 93% deepsleep with wifi on and 97-99% with data off, amazing.. on both siyah and neak i couldnt get above 80% deepsleep with wifi on somehow..

also very smooth on wannam 10.6, only thing i changed is scheduler to deadline.

Best combo i had yet on this phone, scrolling in menus and webpages are silk smooth.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] monster75:
For me It would be interesting to be able to choose between 2 levels of charging. Now It takes about 3 hours and 15-20 minutes to get 100% from low level. But usually we start charging when we go to sleep and we unplug it at morning, so it stays on charge for maybe 7-8 hours. In these cases It would be nice to be able to choose a slower charging (maybe half of current, double the time) to be optimized for the night time. And battery would thank.:p
