The problem was he posted about battery life 30 minutes into life with the new kernel - it takes at least 3 full charges and some draining before it "settles in". When this was pointed out to him, he continued to harp on the issue instead of taking the information and waiting a day or so to post on that subject again. Part of XDA is helping people - he didn't want the help, apparently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sykoj82:
This kernel is amazing with shostock2, thank you!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blaker13:
Actually if you read his posts, he didn't harp about anything....he simply said it was his opinion.but many of you can't wait to put down people that arnt as computer savvy or knowledgeable as themselves because it makes them feel powerful, and therefore better about ones self, usually people that don't do well in rl, so they search for it online. Just saying in general, maybe not with people in here.

As well this Kernal does run amazing with shostock in my opinion, but uses more battery then others in my phone, have done 2 charging cycles.but so damn smooth and flawless scrolling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Just drop this issue, this isn't helping the thread or providing good feedback for the kernel. Mario's harsh posts provided no feedback as there was not enough time to allow for battery. After being told this he continued which was considered trolling by some. Now that issue has been delt with and your constant attempts to continue to talk about that is meaningless.

Now let's get back to the topic of this awesome kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Xander_25:
+1 on the tip bro!!! I wondered why it was draining faster than normal. Totally forgot about that setting.

Just got the N.E.A.K. configurator pro app as a thank you for this kernel. :D

Pretty neat app if you wanna tune this kernel without going to CWM options, there's a free version too:

I would just like to thank you ktoon... This kernel makes my phone feel like it just lost it's virginity... If that was in poor taste sorry lol. After switching my governer from lulzactive the battery is seemingly slowing down on the drain.

When I enabled the Conservative (module) via cmw then rebooted my device looked like it froze then had a yellow and black stripes fill the screen. I did the vol- and power and the phone booted in to cmw I clicked reboot and everything seems fine. Just wanted to know if this was normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drakester09:
I did not experience this when I enabled it, I did enable conservative, lionheart and lazy governor at the same time though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] biofilter69:
I did that last night had the same crazy screen then I installed the neak app and 2core app from the market, my phone froze I rebooted and had a screen that stated the encryption was corrupted and i needed a factory reset. dont know what was the casue i was thinking it might have been one of the apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drakester09:
Holy sh!t, is your phone OK now? internal sdcard is still mountable and alive?

My previous captivate internal sdcard died with the encryption unsuccessful message :( I feel the pain. :(

Had to use external SD as internal.

I don't know, bro. I haven't had that happen to me yet.

Hope it helps, amigo. ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mykenyc:
I think what is pretty interesting is j don't have conservative as a option so I'm assuming it is non-aosp version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] biofilter69:
external took a kernel clean and another full wipe to start working again, phones still running strong actually its running better than it has in a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmtrago:
does anyone have recommendations for configs using the neak config program

i read that using noop and lazy was a good combo...i'm not exactly sure what some of this stuff means though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] htcslic:
You need to enable the option through CWM under NEAK settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
Do a quick search (google or xda) for governor settings and I/O schedulers. There is a pretty awesome write up that explains all the possible govs and schedulers and what they do, how much battery they use, performance characteristics, read/write speeds, task managing, etc.

This kernel has the fastest reboot times I've very seen. I clicked reboot and it literally took about 15sec to reboot. Crazy fast. Oh, and the battery life is amazing. 1 1/2 hours of screen time and got 62% left. Thanks for this ktoonz

no comment...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
The only issue I've seen with regard to this kernel is the CWM functions. This morning, I backed up my current ROM (ShoStock 2.1) prior to flashing the 2.2 that was posted overnight. Backup took forever, started before my gf got in the shower and it was still going when she got out (about 25 minutes). Flashing the new ROM was fine, but then when I did "Reboot to System," it said it was rebooting but nothing further ever happened. I eventually decided to pull the battery since all I was doing was a reboot. Upon pulling out the charger, the screen looked like trying to watch a scrambled tv channel. All went back to normal after I pulled the battery.

Like I said, this was the only issue I saw with the kernel. Battery life was good even with higher than normal usage yesterday and everything was very smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
How's your space? I had something similar happen a while ago running a nandroid and right on the edge of running out on the internal card (I'm not sure where this one stores nandroids yet - running my first one in a minute).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I always save to my external SD. Have about 20gb available on a 32gb card. There is close to 10gb available on internal, but I'm not sure that would make much of a difference when saving to external..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
I'm getting some great results on this kernel with Aokp. Lost 2% battery overnight from 10p to 8am. Also for those experiencing drain you need to wait at least 3 FULL CHARGE CYCLES. Also get the neak configurator app from market to tweak neak lol. I switched to conservative governor and aftr. Didn't mess with lionheart, as I think entropy once said lionheart is mostly placebo.

Anyway, thanks ktoon, simone, etc al for bringing this kernel over here, great work! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drakester09:
I have experieced the same hang at reboot on CM9, never had it before with another kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Winklie:
Well 24 hours in and I will report what I've seen.

Battery working as intended, I lost about 4% overnight.

Performance is outstanding, seriously, best Kernel yet from a performance perspective.

Bug: After installing this Kernel, I wanted to charge my phone to full so I could let the battery drain from a full charge. Battery started at like 93% so charging did not take terribly long. At 100% charge, my phone woke up, beeped that the battery was full and, for no apparent reason, rebooted. Has not done it since, nor have I experienced any other events.

I'll sit on it for another day and report tomorrow if anything new to report.

Thanks again Ktoon!

It just won't boot with Task 650 ROM. So, no support for Stock leaks? :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.

Thanks !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] norbi1:
Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
Try LG Optimus 2x Touch Key Lights. That really works to adjust to light level of these touch keys =)

I was just turned on to Notification Toggle in the Play Store for the control in the notification bar. Check it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
ha, i'm getting all kinds of help on this thread. :) thanks dude! Ok, I'll try another shot to get help on this thread. :) On the new 2.3.4.. every time I get a txt, my screen turns on for just a sec or 2... I can't find a way to keep the screen off on received txts. Kinda stupid if i'm in a txt conversation w/ someone.. screen keeps coming on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
ha, not while i'm texting... duh, the screen would need to be on for that, haha. When I receive a text, the screen turns on. The other day I was txting with a friend then I got into the middle of something and she sent another 5txts.. and the screen kept turning on. Pretty wasteful on the battery..

Sorry, would have given you credit but I forgot who it was. :-( Big thanks though love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richard.tufty:
Can anyone help with an issue I get using AOSP/ICS roms. On a GB rom I normally get 1-4 bars of signal in my house, 3G speed is fairly rubbish but it does work. Whenever I flash any version of CM9 or AOKP I get 0-2 bars of signal, and mostly no mobile data.

The phone can be sitting on a table and show 2 blue bars, often if I pick it up it will change to none and give me network errors. I can normally still send texts and make calls when it is like this, just no data and things like Play Store fail to connect.

Calk's ICS rom may be a little better, but not much (the signal meter on Calk's bounces between 1x and 3G along with low bars).

Switching back to a GB rom I get all my signal back and the slow but actually working 3G. I have tried several modems on both GB and ICS and they show no difference in behaviour (I have tried EL29, FD10, FD16)

Since I have wifi at home it's not a real issue for data, however it seems to kill the battery searching for a signal. The "Time without a signal" shows 20-30% most of the time on ICS, vs 0% on GB.

Any ideas on why ICS roms are giving me no signal?

Cheers,

Richard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickstuart:
I've been getting the same thing but the connection seems to be the same as when I was getting more bars on GB. This is especially true when I'm using Wi-Fi. I'll get one bar of signal strength but it is still fast and I'm nor having connection problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vylle:
i'm having a similar problem, only difference is that mine on ICS was working fine untill i softbricked and restoring back to ICS using CFRoot.. now i (just like you) have 0-2 bars, and have tried dozens of modems and kernels to fix the problem..

eh, maybe i should go back to GB too - see if that fixes my problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
If you search around these forums you'll find something bout getting rid of proxies that the sprint server uses... some people have reported great success and increased service while others have had no noticeable difference, I myself haven't gotten around to trying it, bit I still plan to, sorry I'm mobile right now and can't find the post, I'll see bout linking it when I get home

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1283229

I've done this on a couple phones and I've gotten good improvements each time. It will only affect your 3g speeds and not 4g, and it's not a guaranteed improvement.. there are many factors that can affect. Check your speeds before and after to see if it helps you or not! =)

Been using swiftkey for over a year and I love it but its laggy in ics. This isn't just a vivid thing either a Google search revealed nexus owners are having lag with it too.

I use swiftkey once in a while, the paid ver doesn't seem to lag for me, but I just don't like the small letters/fonts on the keys, especially on our qhd screens are even smallaer, there's no opinion to increase them from settings. I now, use the Thumb keyboard, very flexible and many themes.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Larz_Plummer:
In ICS, pressing and holding the input area is not how you change keyboards. That is done using a notification setting that appears wherever you enter a text input field.

Thumb keyboard
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I tried thumb keyboard for a whole day eventually just switched back to the ics keyboard I found in the market. Simply just too slow for my tastes. I have to say there has to be something different about the ics framework because all keyboards that were fast with gingerbread are slow on ics. I think right now the problem with ics is just not enough phones have it for developers to care

You're joking, right? You're willing to install random apk files, but you can't find the setting for third party apps?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jigajay:
I believe there is no settings in the stock ics rom to install 3rd party apps and I don't just install random apks I got that page off of a great developer from the Mytouch 4G thread. Try to help out and people just try to jump down your throat I didn't say you had to use just tried to be helpful.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Larz_Plummer:
You're absolutely correct. That came off much too rude. My apologies.

Stock ICS does have that setting, but it is in a different menu stream than it used to be. If you look under "Security" your search should be over.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jigajay:
It's weird cause when I try to download a 3rd party app it takes me to security and under those setting is nothing about allow 3rd party apps. This is what's under the setting screen lock, set up sim lock, make password visible, trusted credentials and install from storage which I thought the last option would be it but it's to install encrypted certificates any help would be greatly appreciated on this matter.:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Larz_Plummer:
Oh wow.

It looks like your carrier disabled the option. I'm running stock ATT and it looks like the attached picture. Also, AOSP 4.0.3 has it located there as well. (I was running it on my Inspire before upgrading to the Vivid)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jigajay:
That is strange cause I also have a at&t stock vivid well I believe it is stock I traded it for a tmobile Lg G2x and the bootloader was locked and everything looks stock under about phone maybe it cause the phone is unlocked and I'm using it with T-mobile now. I already unlocked bootloader and have cwm on the phone just a little nervous to flash a rom cause I don't have S off and reading up on everything still a little confused with this process seems way different than all the phones I flashed roms on before.

It has been a strange journey on that one lol. But not having root etc does not necessarily make it be there.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doraemon6688:
You guys all should know ... the stock HTC keyboard "Touch Input" is already among one of the best keyboards in the world. If you really like "swiping", the HTC keyboard can do that too. Just turn on the Trace Keyboard function and you can start swiping just like Swype. When turned on, you can still use the HTC keyboard normally by tapping, or swipe across letters and let it predict your words. Amazingly good, fast, and accurate.

When you run a Sense ROM, you really shouldn't need any other 3rd party keyboards. Touch Input is a very nicely built IME (with or without arrows).

My main issue with touch input is it won't auto insert a space after a predict, and every other keyboard I've tried does so I can't get used to it based on that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] landonkrussell:
Just tried it. Even though it doesn't auto space after a predict on the normal keyboard, it does when you use the trace function and trace out a word. I'm very happy about this since Swype keeps throwing a "parsing" error when installing it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I've been using touch input since it was recommended and it has grown on me. Took me a day or 2 to get used to putting in a space but I'm liking it more now. Love the big keys, and its fast.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Swiftkey 3 was released and still laggy. And on my HTC flyer with aokp ics the tablet version runs flawlessly. It's either an issue with 4.03 or sense. Frustrating because swiftkey is my favorite one
