Not necessarily true. In this instance yes it was a while. But Westcrip chooses to release his Roms based on official aokp jb releases and then some cherry picks from cm10. We have to respect that.

And there were delays in the releasing build 5 as well. The plan was to release every week a build and that might happen again, but I'm not sure.

In the meantime there are plenty of other good Roms to flash for flash freaks like me. So I used Rootbox and it's unofficial builds :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pratici:
Ok dori tomorrow I will try to perform the test.

I have already tested 1.4 Ghz with Siyah 4.1.5 without problems..

If the fault is due to incompatibility between 1.5 Ghz and my processor i will set 1.4 Ghz (in performance and extreme_performance profiles) as maximum.

Regards and thank you for support :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bleuxeon:
Sorry but I realy don't anderstand how people can still rely on "-25mv" or "+50mv" and so on for each frequencies...

That's simply nonsense.

You can't undervolt or overvolt a processor such a simple way.

Every device has VERY very different hadware, and there is NO magic under or overvolting : you must test each step (100, 200, 300....1500MHz) ON YOUR OWN DEVICE.

If you look at my sig, you would see that at some steps (500,800 and other) I have kept original voltage, but at same time some others step are much lower.

I have never successfully booted using performance, simply because at least ONE voltage at ONE cpu step is TOO HIGHT for my device.

To sum up : if you need under/overvolting-under/overclocking, then test each frequency and voltage FOR YOUR DEVICE:p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] spoonymoon:
Lots of people likes a little bit of new ´testing´ when they can get their hands on it :silly:

Remember you are'nt obligated to flash every nightly - stick to ´stable´ versions only, and if you dont like bugs at all, stick to stock roms, theres quite a few out there, stable as a rock - but please dont call it sad :rolleyes:

Hi all

I wanted to share with the people here something new I learned today. It's about the battery and a myth I heard that the Li-ion batteries never die. Actually I just came from buying a new one and when I compared my battery with the new one, mine was sponged. I bought my SGS2 in October of the past year and I have really beaten my phone. I have it with me 24/7 and I have used it a lot during the year I have with it. I know this is not the thread for that topic but I'm sure that it can help many people here cuz I've been blaming the poor battery life I've been having these past months on the kernel or the ROM.

So if you are having a bad battery life with your phone and you don't know what else to try (kernel, ROM, tweaks, etc.) check the battery itself and if possible compare it to a new one. A good battery should be straight and solid without any bends or sponged. Right now I'm running the first cycle and the difference is huge. Hopefully tomorrow I'll post a pic of the first cycle from a 100-1% so it can be used as a reference on how Dorimanx runs with a new battery.

Many thanks to RED who opened my mind and help me through PMs. I wanted to share it here cuz I saw a post of someone having weird battery issues a couple of pages back. As an advice to prevent this from happening I would suggest that you do anything you can to prevent your S2 from overheating. S2s normally shouldn't overheat, if yours is, then check the modem, flash this kernels latest and be careful with performance tweaking. Also never leave the phone inside you car or anywhere where it can get hot and don't leave it charging the whole night.

The first time someone told me this I though it was BS but now I can say that the heat and the overcharging actually do mess up Li-ion batteries
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pratici:
I do the test.

The problem is: Scaling_Max_Freq 1500000 kHz (with 1400000 kHz work fine) :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for support.

GOOD!

i will try to reduce -25mv on 1500Mhz, it's now 1400mv

default is 1375

so this can be the problem :)

do you have any app, that can tweak voltage?

so you can do it before you switch to 1500Mhz

set it's voltage to 1375, report if stable,

if not, try the 1350mv

thanks, maybe you will bring the salvation to all devices with little different CPU chip.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bobdoblo:
I cant do 1500mhz. Always freezes no matter what kernel. 1400mhz is ok though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
No man I bought a new one cuz when I went to the CLARO (my provider) they started with the game of sending me from here to there and the "we can't help you here with that, go here" thing. So I bought a new one on the second store I went. Is the original one, they took it from a white SGS2 and the date on the battery is from this month. In the year I've had with my phone is the first inversion I've made in maintenance for it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Hi dorimanx,

I was wondering is it possible to put in a function that boosts the signal strength of the phone, either for 3G connectivity or even voice chat.

Not sure if this is a function of the Kernel, but i would assume so, since the kernel pretty much runs the whole phone. If not, thats all good, was just curious if it is possible or not.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
The kernel doesn't runs anything related to signal/data. That's pretty much processed by the modem and thrust me this kernel has all the toys available for a SGS2. If there was something capable of doing any kind of BOOST Dorimanx would have the latest version ;)

BTW check this thread, it helped me and I'm sure it will help you a lot both to get a good modem/RIL combination plus understanding better how it works

Thank you for your help and direction, much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
Thank you Kenepo, good answer, correct and sharp. + links for help.

keep it up and join the team if you want to.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
yes reduce, now it's 1400 (for stability, but default set by GM is 1375)

if that not helping, then we can go +25 and set 1425, then test.

for me all the 3 voltage settings are stable! so i must get reports from people with UNSTABLE on 1500Mhz

lets play with voltage + or - till we get stable kernel on 1500Mhz

best to test that is to set performance gov or rise max + min freq in extweaks to 1500Mhz so if it's freeze it's will be fast.

if there is a cure by voltage config, i want to add it.

i need the help of people with problem to use 1500Mhz!

lets find the cure!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
You know I'm here mate ;) I got lost for some time cuz college didn't threat me with too much love this past months but I never left this kernel. Thrust me, I was anxious for being back on the thread cuz this last month this project just skyrocketed but... here we are. LET'S GO!! : )) :good:

BTW thanks for the warm welcome, that always speaks well and is very much appreciated. RED also encouraged me to come back in a chat we had via PMs so my respect to both of you guys ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
Some update about my tests with trying to fix the music MP3 play shatter for 0.5~1sec on screen ON from OFF.

i have found that it's not connected to cortex changes!

nothing i remove change the BUG. i still get short shattering.

even if i delete the script and unload it from RAM, it's still the same.

so my idea with delay script functions is FAILED.

now i am looking for the problem in kernel code, it's looks like some delay added in some code that effect sound decode or CPU operation or MEM operation or video??

it's can be anything in kernel... but we have that problem long time now, so it's not something new that i added in the last mount.

thing is that i dont see any logs or something that i can grab, and search from that point.

i have tried to play with all CPU setting and voltage and scheduling and govs and I/O govs, and still getting this cutoff of music on pushing the power/home when screen is OFF and music playing.

i am using player pro, and it's looks like it's in the pack with many other players that dont have protection against kernel delays.

And some other players have some code for that, and people report no problem at all, and never detected any short shatters of music on waking the screen.

and kernel is the same...

So i am still searching.

But i have fixed some other stuff on the way :) when i was digging in my scripts and INIT rc files...

all in tests so new kernel is delayed, when all my tests done and all small bugs found and fixed, i will release bug fixed version.

if any DEV has any info on what can that bug be, i will be happy to check any lead.

Thanks.

Cool mate re welcome :)

Im was also having hard time not to comment here and just read some post..starcraft2 is so adikting :plol

And the latest kernel is so stable and smooth and im just ignoring some stupid stuff ...so maybe people can learn how to solve it by there self :)

But believe me i also read all stff here 24/7 ..

Enjoy and have a good time...

Kernel is ONLINE!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
i try to make it fast as possible,

but my real goal is total stability.

and good battery life.

Please note that this kernel is also experimental!

Code development is updated every day! so new thing needs to be tested..

and bugs can be found.

So it's important to have one kernel in backup that worked best!

And tell me what was wrong with last one...

If you find something wrong :)

Have fun testing 1.2 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kimitza:
Using conservative and noop scheduler and the phone uses 200 mhz.so i guess its an old setting remained from previous kernel....you guys should do a wipe...

nice smooth kernel ^^

battery bug still exist (preliminary findings)

ph went from 80% then after flashing kernel to 60% - then suddenly down to 26%... after a minute or two it started to climb back up & settled @ 29%...

doing a full charge now & see how it responds :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xanthrax:
No mate! Not this time!!! I reboot my phone 4!! times and the battery goes down 1% only which is normal!!! ✔

The only issue is the vibrations ... they are quite weak after screen off.

Did you clean the kernel leftovers prior flash? And then I wiped cache and dalvik before the first boot, I don't think it needs that though ...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Quick question....

With BLN, do I actually need the BLN app installed (i have and own the purchased version) but was wondering if its required if extweaks has it in that app itself or not...

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
Yeah I agree with that too. Not necessary disabling it but certainly it goes through the line of the MAX_SUSPEND, MIN_SUSPEND or MIN_STANDBY cuz last week I tried both battery and extreme battery profiles and the shutter actually worsened. Then when switched back to default the shutter happened occasionally and much shorter
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
i have disabled ALL. and it's not the control cortex script.

it's something else, for now, no cure.

need to search and i have too wide window of options, i need ideas about kernel code (drivers,cpu,sound driver) all that can help to narrow and maybe find what is the problem.

i need real info, from dev that have some idea...

or any idea that have a potential solution and a link to what can solve my bug.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
No you don't need it cuz Extweaks has its own BLN manager but you can use it if you want to.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
yes, it's has dependance of CPU, that i have also found.

more freq and high pressure tuning, and delay is much shorter and less annoying,

but it's not effective way, and cant be the solution,

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
Yeah I understand cuz that would not help for battery saving. What comes to my mind is that is being caused by a to aggressive freq decrease. If it shutters then keeps on normally it means that the freq can handle the load and play music. If is scaling down too fast probably at the time you shut it down is has too much work to for that freq and while it completes the short tasks is the short period of shutter. IDK that's what comes to my mind, maybe giving a least agresive scaling down might allow the CPU to finish those shutdown tasks and then keep playing music at a lower freq.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
Might be something related, but I've found that scrolling on this kernel (in some apps) is a bit jerky too!

To reproduce:

1. Install System Panel https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel

2. Open it and scroll the process list gently

3. You will notice it's a bit jerky

The same steps, when performed on Siyah (4.1.5, or the 5.0 series), is completely smooth!

EDIT: I'm on CM10 nightlies btw.

Is it bad to undervolt gpu?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darobster911:
If you plan to play games and UV too much then you will freeze but I dont think so
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
No but GPU undervolt + GPU overload is the recipe for freezing a SGS2 ; ) undervolt based on your use. If you do heavy gaming don't UV it but personally I use my phone for browsing, calling and texting and all that can be done with a -50 or even lower UV
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
I just noticed that this new 7.4 version of the Kernel allows the phone to connect to USB mass storage (giving the PC access to the Internal and external SD cards) but also still allows the phone access at the same time....

How is this possible?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avinashadvani:
Dori, just sharing this in case it helps.

I had music stutter on Google play, power amp, Apollo on DR 2.7 with 5.80 to 5.90 kernels when I pressed home button from sleep.

However last night after full wipe and moving onto official aokp build 5 and kernel 7.4, there is no stutter on any music player, Google play included. I tried it 20 odd times no stutter

Hope this gives you some lead

Hi guys,

I want to share my experience with dorinmax kernels and cMIUI rom.

like many other users around here i do not mess around with extweeks options because if i don't know what i'm doing better kep the default installation of the kernel, right??

So the point is i'm always returning to 7.2 version because for me it is the most speed and smooth version. With 7.3 and 7.4 it is not smooth at all, it can be fast but the screen transition is not smooth.

obviously i'm comparing 7.2 7.3 7.4 in their default installation.

An example is when i turn on the phone after some time in deep sleep the 2/3 first slide transitions in screens are completely buggy and only after more 2 or 3 slides it became normal again. In 7.2 and don't have this problems

Because for me the the quality of the UI response is the part i value the most that's why i'm always returning to 7.2

any way to chance something in 7.4 to improve the smoothness??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BelugaHval:
OK. Just installed 7.4 over the default kernel in Slim Bean 2.7 (Android 4.1.2) i get 4-500 extra points in Antutu Benchmarks (with all settings defaulted) .. Gotta love that!!!!!
