Hey guys. Im running the o2 lp3 ics update and was wondering if anybody has tried out this kernel on the rom. Does it increase batt life?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Getting decent battery life with the new Siyah kernel and Sale ROM, but long for this kernel to be a Phenomenal variant.

Most ICS kernels seem poor on battery life is find. Had a few crashes with this kernel whilst using the stock music player for some reason.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adamski123:
Do i need root to install it? Or can i just use odin :L
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Agent_Adodas:
adamski123,

according to your signature youre on GB. Siyah v3.1 is for ICS only.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adamski123:
Yeah i know im on ics now i just havent updated it :L
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] legionxx:
Hi all,

been using k3-9, pretty good and all. but scaling seems to be very little on 1000mhz? using ondemand and noop, anyone experiencing similar situations?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adamski123:
Alrite just installed speedmod. Will see how things go :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:
No worries. I wasn't aware there was this problem as well.

Badly designed apps and drivers spamming the logcat and kernel log is the reason why I disable them in this kernel. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Razertje:
Great kernel K3-9 is running great for last couple of days.

Are there any updates to K3-10 for the weekend in the prospect? Other wise I will wait with my rom, theme, kernel update until the weekend to do it all at once :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] g3ckospy:
hi all!

i've read from the op regarding the this kernel. please do correct me if im wrong, there's no need for uv and oc when using this kernel? or we can somehow uv or uc?

thanks,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tyrol:
UV, yes. OC, no. Use Tegrak Overclock to UV. SetCPU works as well, I think.

Some statistics:

SpeedMod K3-9 for the Galaxy S2 ICS has been downloaded 10100+ times since it was launched 1 week ago.

SpeedMod K2-8 for the Galaxy Note has been downloaded 5100+ times since it was launched 1 week ago.

Your Kernel is the BEST!!!!

i'm using K3-9 and my SGS2 Battery is last longer than before

can i ask for Screen Display color MOD??

i hate my bluish screen :( :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
Seems alot of people just prefer stability over a thousand different options, wise choice.

Thanks hardcore, Ive been using kernels since the original galaxy s. Awesome work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jashy67:
Pretty impressive indeed. I will realy have to give it a try since i m looking for a stable kernel doing the best for my battery ;).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nickmax1:
You cant go wrong with speedmod, siyah is all well and good if you wanna mess with settings, but with stock speedmod I have been so impressed with my battery, and stability is second to none.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ciccio83q:
Hi guys,

using cm9, I'm missing the stability and great battery life of SpeedMod kernels.

Planning to use Wanamlite.

Dou you think this would be the right choice?

Or any better Samsung based rom?

Yeah, I know that asking for the best rom is the cause of the male impotence, but anyway I'll give it a try.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Agent_Adodas:
Hi ciccio83q,

im using WanamLite's ROM and speedmod kernel. i find wanamlite ROM to be the most stable ROM, bugs are minimum if any and battery life is good, better then Siyah's kernel in my opinion.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jashy67:
I m already using a Siyah kernel with my Wanmalite ROM and the final result is pretty good but still wanna have less battery drain (if its possible), and it will surly ask more efficient settings, something new for me since i m a newbie on all settings stuffs. So, i m looking for a kernel which wont ask too "technical" acknowledge to give its best and speedmod looks like what i was looking for. Anyway, will surly try it this week end and give a feeback after :).

@Agent_Adodas : so you confirm that the combination of Wanam and Speedmod is more efficient than with Siyah Kernel? nice, that was a comment i was waiting :). Anyway , which Wanamlite version you are running ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Agent_Adodas:
jashy67,

im using Wanamlite's version 10.7 blue theme. really great ROM, since i don't want to mess with kernel settings too much i find speedmod very good, i used siyah kernel for some time but after switching to speedmod i cant go back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] styx42:
Hello,

Tegrak Overclock freezes my phone (with just underclocking, no undervolting) on XWLP7 + Speedmod k3-9 :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
There is a bug with underclocking in ICS. It's fixed in Siyah. hardcore can PM gokhan to get the fix :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] styx42:
Ho it sounds good, Please Hardcore... It saves a lot of battery ;)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jashy67:
Thanks for your feedback. Im still on 10.2 but will soon update to 10.7. Anyway , i flashed my siyah kernel for speedmod. Too soon to judge about but for the moment all works smooth and fast and i did n t had any FC. I just hope that the use of battery will be correct.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spiderio:
i just found out, a new bug

i'm using DXLP7 stock rom with K3-9 SpeedMod by Hardcore

when i turn off my phone

and charge it, the battery indicator is always show busy signal

you know the circle icons...

and doesnt show the percentage or other ...

is it kernel bug? or what/?

because i'm using stock default rom... no modified...

with only speedmod k3-9 kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marioh:
I'm on Lighning rom 2.6 (LP4) and Speedmod k3-9.

All works fine and battery seems to be good.

With syiah i had a lot of reboot.

I've underclocked with "voltage control".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jashy67:
Hi

Have a question. Speedmod running CMW recovery 5.x, but when i open CMW Manger, i recive this message : "This version of CMW manager should be used with CF-Root V.5.0 or newer.It apears you are running a different kernel.Various features have been disabled". How i can update it to be able to run it correctly?

ps: hope i m enough clear ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marioh:
And, in recovery, the internal and external sd cards are swapped. Why this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] giajp:
with 200-800 and noop-ondermand i have immediate freeze, you too? is not normal...

200-1000 seems ok
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donatinho:
Cwm will work perfectly. it's only some cwm features that won't work within rom, and requires reboot in cwm mode. Since wiping cache and dalvik-cache is always strongly suggested i never use cwm manager and i reboot in cwm mode instead.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] djadja_jura:
Stock rom battery icon is not circle... Must be using some mods...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jashy67:
I also use more CMW by menu on recovery mode than CMW manager, just wondering if there is a way to update it. Anyway , nothing important indeed. I have no bugs fo the moment with this kernel and all works smooth and fast, and the use of battery is pretty good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] drelite08:
He's talking about when you switch the handset off and and start charging. It hangs on the circling animation. Does on mine too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hardcore:
It's okay for me - it goes to the battery charging animation. Maybe you need to update your bootloaders to the ICS one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Brotuck:
I have the issue too sometimes that the battery charching logo "hangs".

But it is not reproducable, maybe it has nothing todo with the kernel at all, but i noticed it too when switching to speedmod.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You can install CWM Manager app 2.0 (it is an older one, which does not disable backup features for non-CF-Root kernels).

I downloaded the CWM2.0 apk file from a thread here in XDA and installed this app over the existing CWM Manager app.

Now I have all feature enabled without the non-compatibility message.

Good luck !

EDIT:

Sorry, this does not help.

Even there is no warning message and all features are displayed in CWM2 Manager app, most do not work propperly ... I have just tested it on my phone.

I had to create a nandroid backup from CWM recovery mode, as the "Create Backup" option of CWM2 Manager app only booted into CWM recovery mode ... and nothing more.

Was just a suggestion.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rhoads5150:
+1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
That's just the way the original CWM recovery was made.

Hardcore has already posted a reference to the original developer of CWM recovery ...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
I'm pretty sure I read on another kernel thread, that underclocking ics is a lot less forgiving than gingerbread because of different parameters or steps being used. I'm not sure if it really recommended to go below 1000, it was always the 800 step that they had issues with.

Personally, why would you throttle this phone?

I'm no dev, and this explanation could be described completely wrong. I just know there were issues.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Brotuck:
Does anyone else experience the hanging battery logo when shutting down the phone while connected to the charger ? When i first shutdown the phone and then connect it to the charger it normally functions.

Results for Siyah / SpeedMod / N.E.A.K. / 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.

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

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

For SiyahKernel and N.E.A.K., as there are many, many configurable settings, I have changed nothing - just default settings.

I just flashed SpeedMod K3-9 and added its results.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks

Battery stats

SpeedMod K3-9 performs fantastic on my phone running XWLP7.

It is very stable and smooth with best battery life for my "normal" mixed usage.

Thanks hardcore !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Agent_Adodas:
It_ler,

Do you have a thread here where you update all your results? if so, can you share a link? maybe also add it to your signature.

thanks,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Thanks for your suggestions (PM).

ATM I don't have an own thread with all my test results.

I am posting my results in the corresponding (non-dev) kernel threads, as I originally wanted to give something back to the kernel developers ... and the other XDA users.

If I create an own thread for this, I will put a link to it in my signature.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] privat75:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Damned, it worked great on GB, to be honest i didn't test it on ICS yet, but i don't see a reason, why it shouldn't, let me check the existence of the files.

Hmm, this should help:

1|app_138@android:/ # more /sbin/bootanimation.sh

#!/sbin/ext/busybox sh

if [ -f /data/local/bootanimation.bin ]; then

/data/local/bootanimation.bin

elif [ -f /data/local/bootanimation.zip ] || [ -f /system/media/bootanimation.zip ]; then

/sbin/bootanimation

else

/system/bin/samsungani

fi;

app_138@android:/ #

Okay, here is the Plan ... Nope no Plan ;(

After one and a half hour of resultless investigation i have to admit, there is no way to create / Change the qmg files , so this way is not an option, except using them from another device (Nexus maybe).

The question is, what happens, if your just create the missing files and add them to the desired directory as written in the description?

Pick your desired bootanimation.zip and make two clones. Rename them to ODEAnim.zip and sanim.zip
Move the three zip files to /system/media

Now the tricky part:

Go to /system/bin. Backup and delete the file samsungani. Rename the file bootanimation (this file you find in this folder; it ISNT your zip file) to samsungani.

The file bootanimation is now located in /sbin, maybe renaming / copying this file to /system/bin will do the trick?

Anyone ready to test this procedure?

Im looking forward to see your results, the worst thing you can end up with is a black screen during boot, and don't forget this warning:

your bootanimation MUST HAVE FINITE REPEAT VALUES, otherwise you will be stucked in a beautiful boot loop.
*What is this?
Open your zip and see the txt file. The number after all "p" must be HIGHER than 0. It means how many times this part will repeat, and 0 is infinite

I am open for new kernels to test.

But I am also a bit careful.

I prefer looking at different kernels and observe the user feedback.

If I think that a new kernel seems to be really good, then I put it on my "kernels-to-test" list and give it a try.

So, thanks for the suggestion ...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xsaintzx:
Hardcore thanks for the great kernel.

I've used your K3-9 for 3 days, however today my phone close itself as battery are dried out.

When I open back my phone, everything starts to force close, I can't open anything, Task Manager force closes, Nova/7Launcher force close, Camera force close, anything I can access will force close.

I try wipe cache & dalvik, removing sdcard, nothing helps.

The problem didn't occur when I was using Siyah.

I know this might not be a kernel related issue, but any help?

@Hardcore

Thanks for you amazing work, I've used your kernel when I was on GB and was simply amazing. The best imho.

I've use k9, I've to say that battery life is not good like GB but overall also great job. Today i've flashed K10 and during the first restart (since I've clear all caches) where I think the new cache is being to be rebuilt, before the home appear you have for example "13/145 applications" but there was not numbers, only (if I well remember) %s.

Now if I go in the system menu->applications I can't see free/occupied RAM or free/occupied SD.

I'm not asking for a solution (I know that will come np) just for feedback!

Cheers!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
I back to speedmod.

Unique kernel is working perfectly with undervolt settings.

And gift for speedmod kernel is smooth like baby ass :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
The frequency it stays on interval must be different from other kernels that you're not getting hangs/reboots.

Still not something you'll change kernels for. Did you try using the method I asked? Playing an MKV file for 10mins limiting the frequency to 200MHz, 500MHz, etc..?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
Sure.

I did massive tests to find my undervolt. And my undervolt i use with every rom and every kernel.

Im expert with voltages/overclock i did since 1998 with my first computer. Pentium 133
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
Did you do individual tests for your undervolt settings for different kernels I mean. It's not enough to just test it on one kernel. You would know that if you've undervolted for a long time.
