Hi folks! Back after a long time.... sorry couldn't reply....;)

@XDA_BAM : Oh! That slipped my mind... I guess I was too busy with the backlight problem...:p I'll look into it.... Moreover I couldn't test your kernel with HID support... I guess it was v12.... :D

Well I thought team UC was looking into it.... I once had a look at the nook code... but this is my only phone...:D and I'd hate to lose it because there's some risk involved.... however I might give it a try..:D

Don't worry Dhiru... you'll be one soon!:p:D

Well the fixes of this kernel have already been included in the other kernels. However, if you people still want to use this kernel then I'll work on it until kernel 3.0 is ready.

And regarding the CM7 kernel, there's no point in releasing it because Frankenstein has already done the job... Cheers to him:)

Sorry to say but now a days UC team is not doing work upto the mark. I had contacted UC team thousands of time regarding USB OTG but they always said they will try for it. But till now no reply, no result, nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Where do I get an OTG cable which will work with i9003? Also the price?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kbar1:
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all USB OTG cables should work with all phones, regardless of manufacturer, unless the physical dimensions themselves are different.

You can go to the nearest Nokia Care and buy a cable. I don't know any other manufacturers who supply OTG cables. Samsung doesn't. Or you coud buy it online: [ebay.in] - Rs.84.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
U will not get exactly device specific otg wire. U have to buy nokia usb otg wire (CA-157) & u have to give shape to it so that it gets fit in our usb slot. You will get that cable in any accessories shop. Dont buy it online. It will cost u more.

Cost = 150 to 250 Rs max.

I will post screenshot of my modded cable later.

Edit - Ok buddy. I used exactly this usb shaping method which is shown in the video. It worked perfectly for me :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Yea, but don't know why, your kernel works the best for me. Phone's more smooth on your kernel, than any other.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Bump.

With updates from Alpha 7 to Alpha 10.

I'm still using your kernel. Works best for me. :good::D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
Will try today in REMICS rom. If i like it i will set it as default kernel. Is battery life and smothness better with this kernel isnt it?

Yes please aridammanidas keep ur great work until 3.0 kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
not until 3.0 kernel

is forever until he change the phone:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] christopher2018:
we really hope that arindam you could include the new fix from dhiru's kernel.

thank you very very much :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Had tried all the available kernels for ICS, during cm9a8. And compared to them, this kernel is the smoothest.

Dont know about the battery life, though i can say atleast this, that this kernel doesn't give any unaccountable battery drain.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] walauu:
Hello... After I flash this kernel on CM9. The usb connection become Mass storage. I wish to change back MTP but doesn't work... How to change it back to MTP? Or MTP not supported in this kernel? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Try settings>storage>USB computer connection and set it to MTP.... the kernel hasn't been updated for a long time now.... I need to incorporate dhiru's changes....

smooth and power saving :good::good::laugh:

looking forward to your update

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] walauu:
After I flash this.. My songs all cannot play.. No matter is using Apollo, Google Music.. Even the ringtone I set with using the songs in my SD card also not functioning. Only the default/ pre-installed ringtones (Come with the ROM) can be used. What is the problem? Anyone has this problem? I am using CM9 alpha 12. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] athidi:
i need to install this one for sure for back light
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] christopher2018:
arindammanidas, is this possible for you to apply the fix on the new 3.0 kernel?

Is 2.6 kernel totally different from 3.0 kernel when it comes to fixing the backlight bug? :eek:

Thank you :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
The fix ain't the same.... gotta look into this :confused:

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SL on CyanogenMod 9 !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Sorry for bumping a really old thread... :p

I'm not sure how many of the folks with the backlight issue are still using the SL... but the problem persists on the new kernel 3.0. I was thinking of working on it but I've lost the device.

If anyone out there has a spare device, maybe I could try looking into the matter. Thanks :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abderrezak:
so you need a tester , we all can help you to solve this bug :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
You are welcome, but you see I have no idea where to look at. The process will mostly be trial and error. If I don't have the device, I'll have to send you every small change. I hope you get the idea.

I'm only asking if someone has a device they don't use anymore. After I am able/unable to fix it, I'll send the device back.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
You can ask Aditya who have two devices with him...! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Most likely the problem is that off-mode, which is what fixed the problem in the first place (mounting /debug simply made possible to enable it from init.latona.rc. If you disable it, the issue comes back), can't be enabled because it causes instant SODs. It seems actually that it completely powers off the device.

EDIT: this is the important line: write /debug/pm_debug/enable_off_mode 1

I've looked (and still looking) into this problem for quite a while now and I still couldn't find anything. I actually didn't try to fix the off-mode untill recently because it's almost impossible to debug. I did instead several changes here and there (thanks to [MENTION=4842149]poluyan_stas[/MENTION] for testing the changes), but nothing worked. Not having an affected device surely makes things a lot more complex.

FYI, since the kernel 3.0, CONFIG_OMAP_ALLOW_OSWR is necessary to allow transitions to off-mode.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Thanks for the heads up mate. Well that at least narrows it down...

So technically if I set enable_off_mode to 0 on a affected device on kernel 2.x , the backlight issue should be back.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
but that device is not affected by the issue.... so won't help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
You may tell your exact location where you live..

So if anyone lives near you..He can provide you the device for working.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
I have a backlight issue on my device... i also live in bangalore (i guess arindam is now in bangalore).. :fingers-crossed:

But my phone is not a backup or extra device... also i have my exams going on...:mad: i can test kernels only after that, if arindam wants..:good:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Hey folks! Just wanted to let you know that Dhiru is working on the backlight issue... so just head over to "you-know-where" and test the changes...

I never flashed bootloader and never had backlight issue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abderrezak:
me too
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
if this is the bootloader

then yes, i do select it while flashing KPE

EDIT :

BTW,i recently read somewhere that the bootloader isnt meant to be selected while doing a clean flash....is it true ??? someone mentioned it can cause those "IMEI lost" issues
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Sure I'll test it soon. By the way, what governors and schedulers and frequencies are there? Same as vurrut kernel v4 I presume?

Edit: Maybe not so soon, I'm sorry I am very busy this few weeks to flash an AOSP rom, either by next week or 3weeks later. Sorry...

Cheers:)

@arind

i try it

so good in miui/cm7/cm9(alpha 2)

but when i try it on cm9 alpha 3

not boot:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
This kernel is not for CM9.:)

The fix will be put in CM9 kernel by Dhiru later...

@arind

now we have the black light fix

so we can do a extra miui by us

can you help me in tweak in the new miui??

i am planning to do a new tweak miui

can you help me:D:D

i need your help in kernel's part

from heart!:D:D

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alexecus:
Since blacklight is fixed... MIUI Roms are now a lot better to use...

BTW... do you guys think that blacklight has something to do with the battery draining of MIUI roms..? Just a random question...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:
The blacklight issue don't fix the battery drain, but the battery is much better now !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
hey arind... if you dont mind.. can you share the change in coding you did to fix this issue...

as i m a learner so i m very curious to know...

thanks in advance..

you may add coding in OP...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
what sort of tweaks do you have in mind?

Even I am noticing the battery drain... but it is not associated with backlight. I'll try to fix it in the next release.:)

Sure... when I get to my PC I'll put up a github repository and show u the fix... I'm kinda busy with other things now...:D:):D

@All, you guys can call me Arindam. :):D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
i use some tweaks of battery ..

it is good at using wifi or 3g internet

but today morning (7:00am)

is charge to 100%

but now (10:00pm)

it drain to 29%:eek::eek::eek:

i think the tweak make the phone's signal work all day

i capture the screen

and @Arindam

how do you try to fix the battery drain??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alexecus:
Does disabling fast dormancy extends your battery life.. I've read from another thread that disabling that option greatly improves the battery life...

That's why I prefer stock ROM's for now... They have a stable (and longer) battery life...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
miui not have it:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
Not have what? Fast dormancy? It doesnt deppend on the rom. It depends on your phone company. If they lst u disable fast dormancy, battery results will be very good in any rom. If not, they can be even worse

I'm using CyanogenMod 7... my device is in deep sleep most of the time, but even I'm facing the issue. Could be ROM related though.

@ALL

FIX SOURCE on 2nd Post.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
the battery is in any aosp rom

so it is about the kernel
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhiru1602:
I don't see any issues with the Framebuffer that might cause such an issue. What you are trying to do is manually blank the display framebuffer, which will not fix the actual issue with the display not turning off. The device will still have its display turned on all the time. Framebuffer doesn't control the Hardware.

I suspect that this issue might be due to improper implementation of Notification Backlights on AOSP rom which is causing the display to stay turned on for some panels. Maybe this explains why the issue appears on AOSP and not on Stock ROM even when both share the same Panel driver. I am currently hooked up with fixing major bugs with CM9 and assuming the amount of people who are actually facing this issue, I have decided to look into it at a later point.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Thanks Dhiru... could be a ROM issue :)

Dude you are the best...I been wanting to use miui for ages but the blacklight issues just keeps ruining it for me..Sony panel i guess...

but its sorted now and finally I can use the MIUI rom with this mod.'

The Cm7 rom also have the same blacklight problem
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
firstly gr8 news......:D:D:D

secondly...why do people post coming soon and not the fix directly ???i mean if you are sure its fixed, you would post it directly..right ??? i have seen it with roms too.....is this meant to create hype ??? or is it since the thing is undergoing testing before final release ???

thanks.....this made my day :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
my be he is testing before release :) Anyway Dhiru said that he has sony panel. So I dont think so its kernel related. Its something else..something very wiered.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
ya..i saw that....makes things worse eh ??? this sh*t just got a lot more confusing.....well...lets hope this fix works..else i think i may try out AOKP....and hope that works :D:D

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
LOL...:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
i don't understand why dhiru also have the sony panel ..

but he doesn't have the blacklight:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
yup..he has sony but no blacklight prob....which makes stuff more confusing.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
oh ...

but do you feel it is so good??

because anyone is talking about it ..

and it means anyone look around it

so it can be solved in soon:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
hmm....yup..talking about it always helps quicken fixes up :D:D:D

but other than that....well arindam said he found a fix so we can check that out.....and then there is Carbon rom which one guy reported doesnt have a backlight issue....though whether he had it on CM9 i do not know..he said he had a sony panel but now thats meaningless seeing dhiru also has a sony panel.....

wait and watch is the only way to go.....:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhiru1602:
I don't think this is a kernel issue. Try to mess with the auto brightness settings and see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
when i had flashed it previously, i switched off auto brightness and kept the brightness to lowest.....

issue persisted though...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
tried and it worked.....thanks arindam :D:D:D

ok...you say this is a temporary workaround...so does it have disadvantages other than the fact that we cannot flash a kernel over it ????

and secondly will this work on Aokp roms as well ????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shitman66:
yep, cannot flash over. T^T

i wanna try varrut's ics kernel(because battery drain but i don't know dhiru standard is it drain battery or not). by flash over this. but i can't.

pl. who's never face backlight please reply me about dhiru kernel about battery drain. :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
I don't understand why a different kernel isn't flashing... does it fail to flash or the kernel info keeps showing my name?

As far as the disadvantages are concerned I am not sure if it is truly turning the display off.... check Dhiru's thread... somebody has done a test with badass battery monitor which shows the lcd in dark mode consuming 100% power : Dark 100% 100%. Can you repeat that test with my kernel?

Yes, it should work on AOKP.

How many hours of standby are you getting?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Anyone who's on CM9 + ArindamKernel.... is there a "debug" folder in the root directory? Check with root explorer....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
regading the kernel, i meant that since only your kernel fixes the blacklight issue, will flashing another kernel over it bring back the issue ????

il try out badass and see what happens.....but first downloading gapps....bloody 50 MB...256 kbps..... :(

will check the debug thing too....

about that 100% dark thing....does dark mean the screen switched off or the screen having lowest brightness ???

on gb at lowest brightness, my dark used to be 100% with screen power usage around 30%.....currently on CM9 i am on lowest brightness with screen power usage 39%....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shitman66:
at first i had 87. about 2hr past,now i have only68%. in aokp.

in aosp it's drain about 9%/hr.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
me too:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shitman66:
about battery... in my opinion, i think os is spent for background processes by battery. i don't know is it true or not. but i used watchdog i hadn't seen anything run but background process. and in battery use i see it spend for Cell Standby(1st) Android OS(2nd) more than anything.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
hi...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
If you flash another kernel, the backlight bug should reappear... but why don't you try:D Moreover, I use Vurrut's sources for my kernel.... so it is not very different from VurrutKernel.:)

I guess "dark" means screen switched off... since "dim" would mean the lowest brightness state. The interesting thing here is that the other guy tested it without my kernel and got 100% power use in "dark" mode (since he probably had the backlight issue). But with my kernel you are not getting that sort of a drain. So maybe my fix really works. But I may be wrong and I think the problem is in the ROM itself.

Please check that "debug" folder... as i might need to do a few things for fixing battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
where will have in the folder??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Go to the root directory of device and check if there is a debug folder....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
root is empty....

regarding the dark thing...it gave me 100% dark even on stock XXKPQ..and i keep my brightness at lowest at all times.....now since there is no blacklight there, the only possible answer is that dark means the lowest brightness while dim is somewhere bet. lowest and medium....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
Is empty:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Empty? You mean there is no debug folder right? Or there are no folders at all!:eek: (which is not possible... LOL :p:D)

And make sure you check the device memory and not the internal SD...

And type out the names of the folders that are there....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] HeathenMan:
can you make the fix for stock rom too? and with bck kernel (better battery then vurrut) pls? =)
