Wow... let me begin by stating: "That is one Motherf**king huge Siyah banner..." - you must be a very proud user, uh? :eek:

Anyway, onto business.

You should continue using the kernel that suits you best and seriously dude, your attitude sucks balls. I really love how you disguise negativity by putting a 'Mr. Nice Guy' spin on things, but unfortunately, it's truly apparent that you're putting down Simone's developing skills and dedication to his kernel and users.

I'm fortunate enough to know Simone on a personal level and know how hard he's working; not only on N.E.A.K. (SII & SIII versions), but also on his studies. He's 19 for goodness sake. Give the guy a break. He has several other commitments including a social life, education and family life. He was away on vacation for quite some time and lastly, he literally owes nothing to nobody. He doesn't get paid for doing this and he doesn't really receive the recognition he deserves, which really annoys me.

When he finally irons out all the creases for the new version and releases his best possible work (which is in fact a progression and he does actually want to release a kernel without bugs) - he will surely impress the masses. You can count on it.

I know Simone states that he plans to release and then doesn't, but this is all down to having set-backs that are impossible to avoid. Still, I know how desperately he wants to satisfy folks and it's in his nature to make people happy...

Although, there should be no true reasons why people are asking for ETA's. XDA's rules disallow people from constatly asking for ETA's and people should understand that by asking for a release time/date, it isn't going to make Simone work any faster...and actually might cause Simone to release work that isn't up to standards because of the pressure that is being placed upon him.

I know people are dying for a release for 4.0.4 compatibility issues... although I've been using the latest version of N.E.A.K. with XWLPX and have come across only a few issues and hasn't limited functionality of the Rom I am currently using. I really don't see what all the whining is about, as N.E.A.K. is still king in the eyes of many, even without an update.

I think you should spend more time posting your demands on the Siyah thread and accept that N.E.A.K. & Siyah are like night & day. Simone and Gokhanmoral are like Summer and Winter and there's no point trying to compare them. We, the N.E.A.K. users are happy with Simone's work and only intend on saying positive words on this thread, so you should refrain from abusing if you plan to make any future posts. :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cripubu:
No, no I´m not demanding at all. Maybe we should look up the sense of this word. I don´t have asked for privileges and I know that Simone (THE DEVELOPER) is not OBLIGED to anything here. I just want to remind him of his promises, some time ago. Merry spirit? Oh, come on, what is your definition of "merry spirit", eh? Asking me to apologize for posting an opinion - nothing more: no please post and update no nothing!!!! I should APOLOGIZE for thanking him for his good work, for telling him that NEAK is better than any other kernel I know, for wishing him the best for his future, for asking him for a clear and clean word? Healthy sense of humor, yes, maybe you could teach me a bit of that. Of course you are right with your statement to post only to people who truly appreciate his work. I would contribute for a new and working update. Were this true enough for you? As while I see you being senior member but not the slightest mention of contributing member I would want to forget any mention of the words "truly" and "appreciate". And you seem to be easily ashamed. No problem with me, you may. Simone can do the same as JKay, can´t he? But please let´s stay realistic.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

Maybe you could have posted this some week ago, more than one would certainly have appreciated your contribution - as I do now. The banner - well, the first I found on an xda thread. That NEAK and Siyah are like day and night, I know, and I think I posted this in this thread some time ago, as I was very happy with NEAK. But since I was on Omega and Indie didn´t post anything new and the phone began to have strange issues, I found Wanamlight to suite best to my demands.

I have never asked or demanded for an ETA, not me, but many others. I´ve never complained about the really mentionable work of Simone. I sent once a comment about an issue which was answered very fast by one of the senior members and I posted my thanks right away. But I´ve been reading regularly the treat, in fact it always comes up first starting Firefox. I don´t wine at all about nothing, and I also stated that NEAK is much better than Siyah (this is my opinion).

I won´t spend any time on the Siyah thread, since I will change as soon as possible, in case that Simone publishes some compatible update.

Well then, nothing more than congratulate you for your very interesting thread about tweaking NEAK. Or am I wrong - might be, because I don´t have much time to dedicate to it and don´t understand too much about it. And: Ohhh YES, I AM A NICE GUY, it´s just that you don´t know me. :angel: :good:

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

Simone, please don´t take me wrong! I just prefer a clear word to others!!! Sorry if it came over like that I would want to pull down the value of your work. Nothing farther than that. I am definitely a NEAK-fan. Nothing goes over that.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
I hope this has stopped now....a test is upcoming for me in 2 days, so i am studying all the days (mostly)

If you look at my repos, you'll see that underneath i am working also, so please don't worry about updates....they will come whenever i am free to work on them. The school start is ALWAYS full of tests (also because this is my last year at high school so do the maths), so i will try to work as much as possible.

Sorry again to all the huge NEAK fans, i know you are sad for no updates, i apologize for that but remember that i have a real life which is way more important.

Peace
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ryther:
Well, I was a proud user of N.E.A.K. (now I'm experimenting with other kernels) and I've to say that is truly a good piece of developing.

I know how hard programming is, but don't know a thing about kernel developing, so I cannot complain about the time he need to release; he stated not a long time ago that he pushed over 100 commits, which can be seen on gith; if you know anything about kernel developing, can you please point out where you found Simone not working on our kernel? He moved to another device and still giving us support, if you want a kernel with more updates, go over to dorimanx! I will wait for an upgrade and will be happy when it comes, ready to move when Simone stop supports the s2 and there is a real need to move to another kernel.

To Simone: please, go on with your masterpiece, we will feverishly wait for your update! I will even help out testing for you if you want and my device don't risk an hard brick :D

Best regards!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sianzb0i:
take your time simone. Sch just started for me this week and i know it sucks. I didnt even have time to come xda and i only remembered i havent came for afew days and its 2am now and i have a lesson tmr.

You dont owe us anything. Theres no reason to complain. If kernel X is better, just hop over for the moment. If something is good, people will come back anyways.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hospital349:
You could have made your intentions more clear because your initial post didn't sound very supportive in regards to Simone's developing talents. In the world of the internet, a promise isn't necessarily a promise... (although I can't remember Simone making any promises).

You was definitely complaining in your previous post and I would advise you to look back at what you wrote because your words sounded pretty aggressive, impolite and kinda demanding if you ask me:

"...but up to now all that comes is your post telling us more or less to go and get ****ed."

"...why don´t you just say that you haven´t got anymore guts to follow developing for SGS2 instead of holding us here waiting as the last idiots. Or do you need us praising you every day?"

"Thanks so far for what you´ve done up to now, but don´t behave like a child. Be a man and bring this update..."

I think it's okay to feel impatient after such a long wait, but to be so abrupt with your wording isn't such a great way to act around other fellow users and the man that creates this kernel for you, especially after all the effort that he makes in his spare time.

I know you meant well, but you have to realize that what you was saying was demotivating.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Good luck with the test dude. Everyone is on your side.

Just send me an email if you need anything.

Take it easy, bro. :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Addicted2Speed:
Master Simone,

Good luck with the school tests :good: ...

We'll wait patiently for your update, take your time to make "the perfect kernel" ;) ...

Whennever you´ll need to test a kernel release give me a PM, i'll test it without problem :highfive:

PS: 2.1.2x rocks in battery life... facebook + pes12 + uno + phonecalls + lots of SMS and it lasts in minimum 2 days :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CelticSoul:
Hi Simone,

I switch to the initramfs come with your source, the zImage is about 4.6MB now but I still have the same problem. I also tried to use the dev branch but that does not help either.

Thank you and good luck for your tests.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Working fine on my pc, sorry.....if you're using Linaro 4.5 then it should work properly
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lionsmatara:
Umm...

Bro simone...

Exam is Over? :p:laugh:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cripubu:
Simone, let us know if your exams went as you wished. I wish you all best! :good::fingers-crossed::cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CelticSoul:
Hi Simone,

May I know which samsung official ROM do you use?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
I don't own a S2 anymore, remember that :silly:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] -earth-:
Wtf?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CelticSoul:
Thanks for replying Simone,

Which toolchain and initramfs did you use then?

I'm using this toolchain: android-toolchain-eabi-linaro-4.5-2011.10-1-2011-10-21_15-21-26-linux-x86.tar.bz2 from Linaro build service and my dev computer is running Ubuntu x86.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CelticSoul:
I got it working finaly, the problem is init script in initramfs_root.

Thank you Simone.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
I can't even make it booting dude...and also i have broken my left arm 2 days ago.... :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ryther:
awww, I'm sorry for you dude! PLZ take your time to recover and bring us the best neak ever!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrcreativity:
Damn. Sorry dude. How'd it happen?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Since the missing Recovery is the "only" Bug in 2.1.2 for AOSP, is it possible to install the Recovery afterwards so you can still flash files?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lionsmatara:
Oh my god. Too sad to hear it. You will get well soon bro. I think all of kind NEAK users, please pray for our Simone brother.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrcreativity:
Pray for him? Dude, it's not like he's dying.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Haha fortunately not ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sukhjit_bhullar:

End of Neak for S2?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nedooo:
Who said???!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kenzneth:
It is never a shame if Simone stop developing for s2. It is clear that Simone progress really slow down as he has no s2 on his hand.

If he stop supporting the s2 device, i wont be angry nor disappointed as he does a good developer.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lionsmatara:
Then, is time to find new kernel?:(:(:( What is the next stable kernel for SGS 2?:confused::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nedooo:
Try Dream kernel, or Dorimanx...(I use dream)...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Go with another kernel for now, until i can get an S2 somewhere... :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kenzneth:
:good: respect
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cripubu:
I installed hirox 0.31 and I can only recommend it. Super smooth, no hangs, no freezes, everything works (I do not play games, so don´t know about that) and very good battery life.

Hope to see a new NEAK kernel soon! Good luck Simone, you derderve it!!!

Bro Simone is your hand OK? I can't leave neak. Plz be with us bro. I'm begging from u...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Yeah finally my arm is ok now, i have to take a GS2 somewhere to restart here....hope that a friend of mine lends me his S2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Addicted2Speed:
Glad to see that you're OK :good:

Hope you'll get an S2 soon :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toufeksian:
Hello there, ive been using the previous version (1.4) and i love it so much. Im now willing to update it to the new one.

But as i dont know much, and i didnt find a tutorial on how to update from a previous version, can u tell me the basics on how to?

i got an international S2 witout any ROM on it. (I9100 UHKI1) Kernel 2.6.35.15 - NEAK 1.4.2

i dont wanna brick it. And sorry if it has been asked.

cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iJiB:
NEAK 2.X.X is for ICS only, 1.X.X is for Gingerbread. So if you want to flash this kernel, you must upgrade your ROM to ICS first.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] toufeksian:
Thanks, i know that 2.0 is for ICS, but i was worried about the steps of the upgrade.

So de ICS WILL WORK with the 1.4 kernel?

after that i just upgrade the kernel and thats it?

thanks again
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sianzb0i:
i dont get you as well. Normally, most of the time you flash a new ROM (i assume you are going to flash a new ICS ROM), a default kernel comes with it. Just flash neak 2.x over it again. Thats all.:good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shishirasm:
Guys samsung is discussing d release of source code & documentation for exynos...

https://twitter.com/SamsungExynos/status/255664909503848448

Tweet about ur concern & frustrations & pressurise them by spaming with ur tweets...

You know this is very important for us to have hw composer, hdmi & other close sourced things... Also inform others to do the same...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cripubu:
I didn´t know that NEAK 2.x is/are compatible with LPX. Maybe you help me out of my doubts. Because if not, NEAK doesn´t work with all ROMs, I understand ...:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sianzb0i:
Maybe i am wrong too but my understanding is this:

GB ROMs, flash 1.x

ICS ROMs, flash 2.x

You said LPX is not compatible, i am not sure cos i havent tried. Maybe someone mentioned in the thread before? Its also not in OP so i am not very sure. But general rule of thumb here is if you have ICS ROM, flash 2.x. That is all i know
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cripubu:
please search this thread for xwlpx, the four last results may give you an idea of what I mean.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iJiB:
IIRC, NEAK 2.1.2x still doesn't support stock 4.0.4 ICS ROM, when simone went into vacation the latest stock ROM was still 4.0.3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Addicted2Speed:
It's taking is time, but i believe that when Simone releases the new n.e.a.k version it's going to be the best ever :p

Till then i 'll stick to 2.1.2x :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sianzb0i:
ok guys. Sorry, my bad. Im still on GB :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
What are you doing on GB still?

Spun out from my RENOVATED One X!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sianzb0i:
I used my region's ICS and every single time i have to revert due to performance and batt issues.

Anyways i flashed ICS again and played wif dream kernel and dorimanx. Dorimanx caused lots of issue for my. Phone was not usable in some instances. I do not know why. Dream was kind of gentler on the batt but there is still a little irritating issues like the touch is insensitive. When i select an icon, it sometimes doesnt register.

Its either i use the xx or xw series of roms or i revert to GB :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hospital349:
I miss this kernel.

No kernel comes close to how N.E.A.K felt.

I hope you'll one day continue developing for the I9100, Simone.

Many thanks for all of your hard work previously.

I'll keep checking back, just in case...

Big love! :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sianzb0i:
For a samsung based rom kernel, i prefer NEAK over the kernels or even any ROMs i tried over the past week

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bobdoblo:
So can i not use this on NeatROM LPY 4.0.4?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] takkaros:
No, this kernel does not support 4.0.4 samsung roms.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bobdoblo:
What has happened to this kernel, has the dev moved to a different phone?

NeatROM -The Best!

Salesale - True Super-Dev!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, simone201 has a SGS3 now.

Here is the corresponding kernel thread for S3 => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1741385

Back luck for all SGS2 users ... like me :crying:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ata1918:
Actually he has stopped making kernels. Too bad :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Well not really, i am just not releasing them because i know that no one would use them (other devs will surely kill me again if i release something that they don't like)

So, i am just working on the Note2 for now and doing some stuff on the S3 for myself
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lionsmatara:
:( what about for S2 users. U abandon us. :thumbdown::mad: too bad.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] -earth-:
Try other s2 kernel!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Holgott:
Well ****ty for us users who bought the neak app :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
Well, from now on i won't sell anymore my new apps, that's just a fact...

I'm really sorry if i can't do anything here anymore, but no device for me means no development
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Holgott:
No problem bro. I understand ur decision to move to another device. I for myself mby doing the trip to the nexus 4.after all u did a big Job for the gs2 community and with ur kernel i reached the best battery life ever. Thanks for the big Job mate!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
I will be on the nexus 4 as soon as it is out too ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Holgott:
Ok, ill pm you as soon as I got mine and asking u for a private kernel ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hospital349:
Count me in Simone... :good:

I cannot live another moment without your beautiful works!

I will be replacing my SII for a Nexus 4, upon release. I have the money ready to throw at Google. :cyclops:

As excessive as it sounds to have a Nexus 7 & 4, their far too irresistible and affordable to boot. I literally can't deny myself of one.

See you in the new N.E.A.K. thread, hopefully giving us some time to catch-up.

Take it easy. Speak soon. :good:

P.S. I'm using Ubuntu now and have been studying, though it's difficult and taxing. Possible NEAR ROM in the NEAR FUTURE, maybe? ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hospital349:
I was lucky enough to purchase a Nexus 4 today. So so so lucky. Once it arrives, I'll be selling my SII to fund my newest purchase and will be waving goodbye to this thread.

Looking forward to seeing you and others again in the NEAR FUTURE, on the newest N.E.A.K. thread. See you around my friends. :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sianzb0i:
Thats sad to hear. Guess i have to see you guys around then :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
I am not getting a N4 anymore (not in near future btw), because seems that it has no aosp support because of LG....

Again they did it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lionsmatara:
Then get a I9100 again... we still with you bro :D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hospital349:
I wouldn't hesitate too much. From what I've been reading on various threads, many are pretty optimistic that Google will get their act together soon enough and make the Nexus 4 AOSP. I've read a lot of speculation but I believe the lack of AOSP right now will blow over in a couple of weeks and we'll eventually see the release of all sources.

Only time will tell of course, but I don't doubt Google for a moment.. especially on a flagship device. They'll lose a lot of credibility if they fail to fulfil the developers and users expectations.

I'm interested in seeing how this pans out. :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Holgott:
Lucky guy. I saw a nexus 4 with 8gb on eBay for 1500euro after they were sold out on google play. So think about selling it bro and you will get a bit more rich ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hospital349:
I'll take a peak and see what my chances are of making big money! :good:

Thanks for the heads-up.

EDIT: Too addicted to it to sell it. It reeks of pure awesomeness!
