ok...see i opened es file explorer..it opens "/sdcard/"

then i go one step up and i come into "/"....is this what you meant by root folder ???

well then this contains things like acct, cache, config, d, data, dbdata, dev, efs, emmc, root...(no debug folder)

now the root folder ie "/root/" is empty.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
After a long time today I tried Dhiru's cm9 first time. As I have sony panel so thought that I will definitely face blacklight issue but I was surprised when I saw that there was not at all any blacklight issue I faced :D I did many changes in brightness mode but there was still not at all any blacklight issue I faced. Also battery drain was amazing. It was giving very good battery life. Rom was very amazing & very smooth :)

But finally I had to remove it & flashed stock rom as I need video recording to capure my important family function.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
You are facing backlight issues with Stock ROM too? :eek::eek::confused:

Yup I meant "/" ... not /root... :D So no debug folder.... that explains a few things....

Well I'll start another "hype" ... Test kernel with possible battery fix coming soon...:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Congrats Vishal.... lucky guy...:D Can you tell us over which ROM you flashed CM9? DDKP3? and your flashing procedure....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
il post the battery usage screenshotws tomorrow.....got 40% left now..lets see whether it lasts the night.....

ok is there any button shortcut or something to take screenshots like GB had or do i need an app ????

and secondly (OT)...doesnt CM9 have speed dial ??? and neither there seems to be an option to clear ram ??

thanks

EDIT...found screenshots :|
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
I don't know about CM9 but CM7 had no built in option for clearing RAM too... u gotta download a task manager.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I flashed over completely stock xxkpq. I purposefully followed procedure very carefully. Here is procedure...

1. Flash clean stock xxkpe with .pit file.

2. When my phone started I switched it off & went to download mode.

3. Then I flashed clean xxlpq rom.

4. Then I formatted my internal sd card through settings.

4. I switched off phone & went to download mode.

5. Then I flashed xda_bam v13 kernel (I choose this kernel because this is a perfect stock kernel in my opinion :))

6. When my phone started again I switched it off & went to recovery mode & wiped cache & dalvik cache.

7. Then I flashed Dhiru's CM9 rom using flash .zip option in recovery mode.

8. After completing flashing I wiped cache & dalvik cache.

Thats it...!!! :D I will recommend this procedure to those users who face blacklight isuue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Can anyone please try out the procedure followed by Vishal....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
When we have a new release for MIUI GB because the actual kernel isn't totally stable
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
i wiped cache, dalvik cache after every rom flash....and i went for just CF root instead of the kernel....i think CFroot KPQ comes with UCv6 default though

i dont think it must have made a difference...but the first time i flashed CM9 it didnt install correctly and only CWM booted on pressing power button...flashing it again solved the problem.....

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

battery didnt last out the night.......40% was left before..zzzz

i think(i will have to check) the phone isnt going into standby...its not the screen but the rest which is consuming power...

i dont remember cell standby in the top 5 in my battery usage....maybe it didnt go into standby after all....il check once its done charging...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
i flash many time

(carbon, cm9, miui)

blacklight always here:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
arindam...i posted some screenshots on the CM9 dev thread......battery didnt last out the whole night :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
i test the method that vishal post..

don't work...also blacklight
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
My battery on cm9 is quite good, not as bad as yours. Mine has about 10% drain overnight.

Cheers:)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
exactly....dats another thing which seems wierd....if you have gone thorugh the cm9 dev thread, you will see that there is some contrast there...some people like me are facing a lot of battery drain....while there are some who say it can last more than one day.....

some1 said installing it the wrong way could be a problem....ok i did everything right...when i install cm9 from zip, it comes to a point where it checks rsf/ext4 partition or sumthing....at that point the installation(the bar) seems to get stuck but then later it directly jumped to installation complete.....

after completing the first time it rebooted, it went into CWM instead of rom starting up....i tried booting again but it seemed to only go into CWM...i cleared cache, d. cache and flashed CM9 again...this time too it got stuck on that checking part...when the installation completed, CM9 started up normal......so could this **** that happened cause battery drain ???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] silentvisitor:
I can personally confirm that Battery drain is far less in AOKP ROMs especially Carbon of UT36104 than CM9. Compare Battery Graph in Settings>Battery.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
My installation also was stuck and immediately jumped to the end. I find it odd that some people can't even last 1 day on cm9 with normal usagr

Cheers:)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
well...i was using Arindams blacklight fix...so maybe what is switching the blacklight off is keeping the phone running and preventing it from going in stand by....without standby i dont think any phone can last more than a day...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
I'll release a few test kernels tonight....

Guys.... which governor is set by default?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
What is it function

:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
I'm downloading CM9 now... so that I can test faster...:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
Some improvement??

Waiting
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] H.burns:
good fix:D

but this kernal facing a SERIOUS battery drain:(

deep sleep an hour, 6% power used.:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Dhiru just in case you didn't notice, I had to "unblank" the fb to kill the light. Blanking has no effect whatsoever. This is weird. Maybe something is turning off the display too fast.... not letting it complete the procedure. Hence resuming it again seems to fix stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
But what is make the battery drain?? :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Unblanking the frame buffer kills the back light but resumes the display and the device cannot suspend... hence battery drain....

Still looking into it though.... :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] HeathenMan:
sometimes i have backlight on stock :P maybe you can make a test kernel for stock?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
I can... but it will drain your battery.... first let me find a good fix...:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
Oh...I see
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
i hope its not another false positive....last time i installed ics with all hope and in the end faced batter drain which was equivalent to having blacklight......u sure this wont cause other problems ???

and if there is any way to explain what was wrong with our panels and how you fixed it, please do...

and thanks for all your efforts
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
BACKLIGHT FIX TEST v5

Hi,

I guess I nailed it!!! Please test the following kernel and report. And just to be extra sure, check your governor and set it to ondemand/conservative. Also charge your battery fully and check battery drain.

Download: ArindamKernel-CM9-v5

Flash using recovery. Kernel version should read #5.

Also don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

P.S.: This is for all people regardless of the backlight issue.

If this works correctly then I'll release new kernels for CM7/MIUI as well.

OUTDATED! CHECK NEW VERSION...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
couple of things....will this work only with cm9 aplha5???

when you say, this is for all people, how does it benefit those without blacklight ????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
I am 100% sure it won't cause other problems. But we can only be sure if people test it. :) I am working hard to fix this issue because I face it too... and it's really annoying. I'm not a genius but I'm doing all I can.

I always share my fixes... and i'll let you know once I get some feedback. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
So you mean you fixed battery drain and blacklight at the same time? That's great!

Cheers:)

Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by Stable and Smooth CyanogenMod 9!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
v5 doesn't mean it is for Alpha 5... it is just the kernel build version.

When I release the source for the fix, you'll know the answer to the 2nd question ;) I want to be sure first:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Please try it and report... Just my testing isn't enough. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
was just confirming...

if just i could read sources....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
This is only on cm9.

we test it and report To arinda

If no bug, he will release a cm7/miui version :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Its ARINDAM not Arinda:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
Oh.. sorry :p:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
The stock governors are not so efficient.... another version coming up soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
If the kernel doesn't bug, will have a release for MIUI GB ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mdaamir1989:
Hope this kills the blacklight forever .

Anyways going to flash CM9 in another 15 minutes . Will provide feedback the first thing tomo. Let me see how the kernel fares ...

Last but not the least thank you for your continued efforts on the issue. Uve worked a lot for it and hopefully this fixes the issue.

Cheers !!!

EDIT : No blacklight issue and the battery is great too :) all thanks to Arindam. Battery discharge of 1% per hour. Its better than stock for me. Thanks alot arindam :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
ArindamKernel-CM9-v6 (with better battery efficiency)

Hi folks,

I present to you ArindamKernel-CM9-v6.:D:D:D

* Lots of CPU Governors + IO Schedulers (Default: Conservative + SIO)

* CPU Frequency: 120 Mhz - 1.2 Ghz (Default: 300 Mhz - 1 Ghz)

* Enabled OMAP Power Management features (sleep_while_idle, off_mode, voltage_off_while_idle etc.)

* Backlight Fix

* Sync Bug Fix by XDA_BAM

This Kernel is for all i9003s on CM9/MIUI v4/AOKP regardless of the backlight issue and will give you better battery savings than stock CM9 kernel.

DOWNLOAD

Flash using recovery. Kernel version in "About Phone" should read #6. Test and provide feedback :):D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Maybe :D

Check the new kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
ICS on CM9 or MIUI v4 it's too buggy ... For the people who want a stable ROM, we need the kernel for MIUI GB, especially for battery life which is the only true problem.

I hope, arindammanidas, you will take care about my request :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
I will surely compile one for CM7/MIUI ... but first let the feedback arrive :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
Arindammanidas, Cm9 vibration is related to kernel which is fixed in alpha 5's kernel. Do your kernel include the fix?

In between i do not have any backlight problem since i replace my LCD, but i will try your kernel to see how is the battery drain :)

---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

1 more question, how do you fix the backlight?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda_emanuel:
Lol are you saying miui based on gb has no bug? I dont think so. That is alot buggy too
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LoLaTiOn:
Hello friend, I have no problem blacklight but I take this problem to heart because I find it a shame to leave part of the community without end.

I test the battery out and I think creating an installer for Pandora aroma-Fusion

Cordially.

I like to have the tools and sources to create a kernel (I dream ^ ^)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
Where are the bugs ? All works fine and smoothly, the ICS ROM aren't really necessary sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
Gb miui is the most stable i9003 rom with no doubt
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xda_emanuel:
fast and smoothly? have you never tried cm9 or miui pandora? anyway, i think videocamera still doesnt work in miui gb. tell me if im wrong :)

It is still a huge bug for me, expecially if you use a gb rom. Anyway i wont go in OT.

I always appreciate the developers work. Keep it up :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
Arindam

I look in to battery state

Why the awake in always on?? :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tariq_devil:
the kernel works like a charm, no blacklight issue and the battery is great. just 3 percent drain in 6 hours while i was asleep! :D i wish u do the same for MIUI soon. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
Good job man !!!

battery lost 7% in the whole night.....:D:D:D

i was on v5 though...trying v6 now....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shail139:
I have 2 queries before i try this kernel

1. I never had backlight isuue with any custom rom, neither on GB nor on CM9/MIUI, will this kernel have any kind of effect on that part.....!!!

2. Vibration is now fixed after such a long time....will this kernel sustain the strongness of the vibration or it will lower down it.

The only reason i want to try this kernel is battery life.....!!

I am on MIUI 4 beta5

Plz feedback anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] him200:
Battery life is good but the vibration intensity is decreased.

@Arindam could you please increase the vibration from dhiru latest kernel sources.Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mdaamir1989:
1) I dont think so it will have an effect on any part. And you'l surely enjoy battery life. Battery definitely lasts longer(for me atleast)

2) And yes im guessing the kernel might not sustain the vibration fix. cant tell because i am on Alpha 4. Will try Aplha 5 tonight and will let you know .

Cheers !!!

Finally blacklight issue fixed . Damn im so happy :) Arindam you rock :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
i dont think the vibration improved any bit even after making it full...maybe this kernel doesnt support that....

BTW whats the changelog of v6 over v5 ???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shail139:
Vibration is allmost zero after flashing this kernel, whereas it was very strong with original kernel with MIUI v4 i.e Vurrut kernel#1.

Any how lets c battery performance.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tomjoad2:
Trying it, "google services keep awake" is killing me... battery drain 12% in one hour by now...

I'm on MIUI v4 Beta5 ICS

Edited: now it seems ok..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Sources will be available HERE

Well, I haven't uploaded the sources to Github but planning to do so soon... :) I'll let you know. Do you want to create your own kernel?

I can only say that we have to look to the future. CM7 never got official status due to the use of proprietary libs... Dhiru wrote opensource HALs for camera and audio, so CM9 will definitely have official status after it is stable (Kernel 3.0). I will also release a CM7/MIUI GB version, but first I have some personal issues to attend to :)

Maybe some app is keeping your phone awake. What is the battery life u are getting? Also clear cache and dalvik cache. The rest of us are getting great battery life, including me. :D

1. No it will not have adverse effects. But will give you better battery life.

2. I have not changed anything regarding vibration in this kernel, so it might be weak. But I'll look into it. :)

I'll take a look at the vibration thing. :)

Changelog HERE

But mainly: Better Governors + IO Schedulers + OC + Sync Bug Fix + Better Battery Life:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
in my case mediaserver taking 8% battery even when i havent used it since yesterday......

in my ram, dsp manager seems to be running always and some media services

and some google services too.....

so is dsp causing that media service to run and keep the phone awake at times ????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
I don't have backlight problem, but I am very interested in having good battery life, so I am testing ur kernel over MIUI V4 by Frankenstain. Will report in a few days. Thank u for ur work :)

is it backlight problem?

p.s. plz help me

m having airplane bug all the time with my mtnl sim on ics

for which u need to compile a kernel with latest ril patch by codework/waleedq

check their repo
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
Drain 11% in 4hrs.

Some 3G

Use miui v4 beta 5

I think miui is drain faster than cm9:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
Me too! in MIUI V4 beta 5 it is draining like hell with this kernel! didn't test others...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
I will try cm9 tomorrow

Miui is so drainly :(:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
fyi, cm9 u using now are from that repo.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
I tried v5 on latest cm9 rom...

I found it completely removed black light...

And also battery is the best...

Comparable to that of stock rom.

Didn't try latest fix..

I ll try it later...

Thanks a ton arindam for ur efforts which finally turned into a JUICY fruit...

I hope this fix really does the job unlike the one u released previously...and please explain the reason for the issue to a layman like me...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] silentvisitor:
Absolutely brilliant work Arindam !

You have nearly solved two of the most important problems.

I am using it on Frankstein MIUI v5 and lost 11% in 7.5 hrs in sleep mode. That's unbelievable as per previous experiences ;)

I think this kernel could make AOKP a bigger Powerhouse ;)

But somehow I am finding phone to be very laggy after installing this kernel (v6). Also Android OS is eating 49-56% battery. Plz fix or advise.

One request - plz add Touch Recovery.

Thanks once again !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
You can open airplane mode :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sachin sharma:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] silentvisitor:
@loukalok

Yes I can. Tried it few times and it is working alright.

Did you do clean install ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Congratulations bro, you have solved the battery drain bug. My battery life has improved a lot, normally when 10% should be drained, only about 5% is drained. Great work!:D

Cheers:)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
well now only one issue left....making others include this in their kernels by default.....else each kernel update in other roms will require a separate fix for those with this blacklight issue(vibration fix in CM9)......or arindam will have to make a new release each time which i think is too tedious.......

and BTW battery 18% down after 11 and a half hours......ok usage wasnt that high but the savings when in sleep is really good :D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:
Hi,

I have tries loads of PAID camera apps and nothing compares to the stock camera in the Samsung Galaxy S2 !

Since flashing CM9 I have been using their camera but its no where near as good :-(

Anyone know a way I can get my original camera in CM9 ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielsf:
Sorry but the original galaxy s2 touchwiz camera app relies on Samsung app framework (and a load more other complicated things I wont go into), therefore it can't and can never will be able to work on an AOSP rom like cm9. In other words, it's not possible. I hope this helps you :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:
shame

That's crap.

Thanks for the reply though. The stock camera was the best. Could you recommend a similar app ? Tried camerazoom and its rubbish.

Need a high quality fast camera.

Currently using ifs camera + and its good but focus Is rubbish.

Loving cm9 though ;))))))))

[Android Apps and Games] cdmackay:
Thanks for the new version; my comments, for what they're worth:

- Control level background: interesting idea, but I didn't notice it actually showing anything; turned off, nothing seemed different.

- Notification icon; I'd like there to be an icon only when the Control program is actually enabled. As it is, it seems there is no way to disable the icon when things are "OFF"?

- Publickey works well for user android (thanks!). But doesn't seem that there is any way to do per-user public keys, when using multi-user? I don't need this functionality mind you, single-user is enough for me, just mentioning it.

- I would like to be able to disable password access entirely, and use only publickey. That doesn't seem possible at the moment?

- The apps are a little complex; that's not a problem, but I think there could be better documentation, esp on how to do common things. It's possible that this is there already, but docs seem a little spread around...

thanks again...
