[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
As u have mentioned already. I'm surprised no developers helped us out and give u the patch as requested. So u have to download this huge 29gb file urself:eek:

Well u have 6 or 8 gb left. ;)

I'm sure that it will send even more power to our phones once it's done.

Thanks for the latest update. And all the features. Thanks for keeping slide2wake off as default. So we can stop all this winging on battery drain.

Very good changelog and i hope all the noobs and refugees of other kernels have read it before flashing . ;)

By now all the people and thier aunts should know what is Mali and why there is two versions of kernel.

This should be an interesting week in kernel development. :)

No, it's shut on 800Mhz. only.

dude, what you want, all set as should be, just use any other kernel if it's bothering you.

after screen off/on my cortex script change all the mess. back to normal.

it's not just rock kernel, it's alive...

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jontomes:
i'm dual booting rr 2.7 and 3.09 - which version of dorimanx kernel should i use?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Crescendo Xenomorph:
No, Dori said its by design.

And I started to realize the reason why Dori made it that way.

Remember that we must make one kernel for all?

I think its for BALANCED batt life and performance. Dori must make the kernel fit both of the world.

So..... ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pangiotis24:
ok.i understood.i run mali status and i saw what you meant.i have as first step 62mhz with 800mv and it goes there when i am seeing a static image for example.when i am doing nothing i see 100mhz with 900mv so i know what you meant.i wanna ask something else.when you implement the new sql databases will you upload it as a 7.4 version,as 7.3.1 or you will upload it as 7.3?

Ahhh. I forgot almost about my beloved. RR ics 2.7. This i think is the longest I have gone without using ics.

All thanks to the Great mali 7 series of kernel and the improvement in the newer Aokp jb roms I've been using. Stability and battery and performance has been great and so far. No slow downs or sods or screen freezes which was why I refused originally to use JB as main.

Not anymore ::):thumbup:

Using 7.3 with Pa 2.21 and am getting wifi drop outs again. Is anyone else getting this? I only see it when doing a large transfer over wifi from my pc using foldersync. Works ok in 7.2. After a few secs, the wifi signal just hangs but says is on but drops the connection to SSID. Tried different routers, same issue.

Anyone else able to replicate?

Update, set to 2.4ghz and not an issue. Seems its when its set to auto or 5 ghz
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
Happy that i managed to give you the info, so now you know more.

new sql will be added with new kernel.

i have never released new kernel with the same name, and didnt posted that i have reuploaded it to fix some small bug.

so dont worry :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Yeah and there's some people already asking about Mali and which kernel they should use right after your post... :eek:

Btw, salute to Dori, he really care for us. I don't even dare to imagine to download all those 29Gb of source code just to search for some lines!

----------------------

Lil bit cosmetic report: crt animation now perfect.

Performance: faster especially in UI now more responsive, installing apps is faster (10Mb apk accomplished in 3 secs), waking up from deepsleep is instant now.

Feature: S2W got no problem now.

The rest will follow... :highfive:

i like your style.you have based your kernel to siyah but you have achieved to create something original implementing new linux versions,tweaks,drivers and a lot more.you make the perfect more perfect instead of just forking gokhan's repo like others do.just another final i hope:) question.why on new mali drivers kernels dual boot doesn't exist?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
Nice i like it :)

I have forgot to say that VOKU helped allot with optimizing the GPU and UI smoothness!

it's faster just because VOKU found the right way to optimize kernel and fix error that prevented using the optimization with LINARO compiler!

So THANKS allot VOKU! great stuff :)

Is it possible to do the same as dream kernel screen sharpness, I found that dream has some noticeable better sharpness, maybe you did some kind of anti-aliasing adjustments but it kind of makes screen to blurry...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] t-pip:
Just read the last couple of pages and got to say that Dori is a very patient and tolerant man. I would have blown my top by now.

Dori thanks for everything, I'm sorry if I've been guilty of stupid questions. Please don't let these people get to you, you are a better man than me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
thanks, it's nice to read that, i really work hard, but all thanks to GM for giving me the BEST start point! there wasn't better kernel than Siyah when i started here.

now when GM finally move on, :( as he stated.

but after fixing the DUAL BOOT, :victory::good:

it's complicated and i need his help, dual boot was his idea,

and his unreleased source, that he have full right not to release.

and we cool with that.

then i will be here for all that will want to join an active dev.

that try his best as GM did.

we loose devs every week, so it's SAD, but it's the way of XDA life ;)

We will get JB-MALI DUAL BOOT, GM will not let us down, :cowboy:

and now it's broken because binary that used for asking you if you want to boot second rom is broken because of MALI memory controller changes.

it's not getting the memory to operate and use video driver to show the logo, any logo! and show the 1,2,3 counter,

so we have only one option to say to it that we dont want LOGO, then binary not asking us if we want second boot, and not showing the LOGO and boot the first ROM.

that is the sad story, i cant fix it, i have no source for it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
Ok for the 800Mhz problem, if someone use this frequency as max in extweaks he should know that the second core is DISABLED, that's ok.

I restart my test , this time with max freq at 900Mhz .....

1 - Default settings, this time reduced to 900Mhz (meaning hotplug mode)

2 - Antutu NotOk : 900Mhz X 1 CORE

This time even before switching the screen off .. the problem arise...

I suppose that the majority of users are using standard settings, with 1200Mhz and the ones that choose an other frequency certainly do not know that they are on a single core.

Was not having this behavior on 5.86 (on another rom) everything was smooth ...

"No, it's shut on 800Mhz. only."

Look at the screenshot; 800Mhz .. and it is DUAL CORE mode ....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] quijote1:
Perhaps a few can learn from my mistakes: MORAL OF THE STORY - DON'T TOUCHA DA MACHINERY!!!!

I had to go back to CM10 from 7.2 a while ago because 7.2 got impossibly slow. So I waited for 7.3 and flashed it. Just like 7.2, it was quick at first and then ... and then... and then - I had to go playing around with Extweaks. In no time at all, I had crippled a good phone. It was slow again. But this time, I knew what I had done. And the thing that killed the phone was the Extra Battery Tweak in Cortexbrain. I unchecked that and rebooted. Voila - I had my phone back. Now everything is pretty much default. I'm a smart kid, but I don't know enough about Andoid and it's kernels to be second guessing the developers. I'm just gonna use my phone.....

Did you changed the max frequency or are you with "Default" settings ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
No problem, i have already forgotten,

all i care about are reports that i really need, that help me to improve / fix something.

when i see BUG and it's real, i take it seriously and not blame user.

as it's my problem, and has to be fixed, or reverted to position that all was OK.

but when i see that people do mess with kernel critical setting, or adding external scripts, then post that they have many SODS or all kind of weird problems, that i never seen...

then i just try to skip the posts and not BLOW UP on someone...

it's hard to be DEV, i need to do all i can to control growing population and help as much as i can.

Also i have my strong TEAM to back me up and they are here and help all the time :)

together we are strong, a part, and alone we get to iCrap :)

O now that is good, i need to know if any improvement of situations with touch screen...

the toggles are ROM bug, it's just not pushing the right code, so toggles broken...

but touch screen should work. (was reported only on MIUI roms)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
Common .. !!

Read what i have written ! .. when in "forced dual" core are there until i do a screen off and screen on .. !!!! Then only one core EVEN IN DUAL CORE MODE ... reread my two test !

Is it normal to have only one core in FORCED DUAL ..??

TEST ONE

TEST TWO

Summary :

- Hotplug + 800Mhz => Only one core is working, this is a"design" limitation => ok noted

- Hotplug + 900Mhz => Same problem ... so ..? 1-Only me / 2-Limitation / 3-Something Else ?

- Forced Dual + 1200Mhz => Only one core after a screen Off / screen On => 1-Only me / 2-Limitation / 3-Something Else ?

Thanks for answering this personally with the little spare time you should have. Haven't read the changelog or try the new version because I just came back to house.

Ready for 7.3 now! TY
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
At DorimanX, the developer

So I use your kernel for a long time and I must say this is the best!

Now I want to ask if you could add an option that controls the lighting of the touch buttons at the same time together with the backlight of the screen.

Example (if you had enabled this option): When I control the backlight of the screen down, it would have the lighting of the touch keyboard also be darker.

I hope you understand what I mean, my English is not so good, but I'm working on it!

Bask keep it up, thank you for your excellent work :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
This is my kernel 7.3 not modified!

WIFI/DATA/SYNC OFF

RADIO ON

BT ON

Gestures ON

Slide2Wake ON

Performance profile!

NO UV!

ondemand as sleep

HYPER as online.

now as you can see it's perfect, it's just awesome!

So stop! messing my settings :) and you will get that.

i cant do full pass, as i do lots of developing and testing...

but here i am just posting, and phone resting and this what i found.

now imagine how much time it's can hold :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
Already reseted the profile, no application like setcpu the problem arise on a fresh rom with fresh 7.1 and persist on 7.2 / 7.3.

init.d is not triggered after a screen off / on .. so ..

I'm asking if people got the same behavior in the PA thread, perhaps it is rom related....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
i will check that, now.

thanks.

if it's will work, i will be very mad. and ignore you for long time, ok :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:

sound interesting! i will check if there is a way to connect touch keys driver with lcd backlight....

reboot to recovery, reset profiles.

BOOT, wait 1 min after screen lock show up.

then open extweaks, all will be ok!

extweaks is only app that show controls that it's read from system.

there is a script that run on boot and load all settings, and till it done, extweaks not working, just WAIT

thats all, if you care to search, you can find this answer 50 times!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] superleeds27:
Probably going to shoot me for this but, here goes!

Flashed the latest 7.3 earlier, and since flashing i've had 2 RIL Crashes, both in the last hour.

Im wondering if this is a co-incidence, or maybe kernel related?

Never experienced a RIL crash before, so havent got logs set up etc etc. Just wondred if anyone else has had this issue with 7.3?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
Not saying that this behavior is the same for everybody .. just that i'm experiencing it. Perhaps everything is correct with your configuration !

Reason i ask for people having slowdown to test the same way i did .. :)

Update : Cortex service disabled, ondemand, "dual forced" => Same behavior... second core is dead after a screen Off / On operation.

Nooo please, do not ignore me .. :laugh:, ok ok .. and if it is a real problem, what would you do .. mmmm ? ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
tested!

my solution for you:

extweaks!

CPU tab!

LOAD_H0

set to 20%

LOAD_L1

set to 20%

now set 800freq max! all with extweaks only!

now do your tests. dual core performing as should.

i give you the controls, you want to tweak, tweak.

have fun.

i will set that as default!

Or every day i will get new SMART dude as you, trying to show me that kernel has MAJOR problem...

and i mean it, you are smart. and you done good debug.

but there is a reason for all.

and i see that solution is better than was till now.

so thanks, and welcome to community,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] parental92:
i havent done any modification whatsoever to this pure MIUI(standard from MIUI official website and its 4.0.3).

just installed the kernel , here is my super short review:

+SMOOTHER than siyah

+ TOGGLES (brightness and rotation) WORK PERFECTLY (at first but now after i reset init d, it wont work -,- , hmm its miui fault i believe)

oh well im updating my ROM to the newest MIUI judging from the size (last one was 315 mb, the new one is 262 MB) they have done some optimisation to the system or maybe debloating unused services, hope one of them is getting compability with the best kernel on S2 ;)

im downloading the update now , after update ill try your kernel once again . . hope it will wokrk flawlessly (fingerscrossed)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
i think you dont need to delete init.d

look like it's contain some scripts to fix rom bugs, so you need them!

thanks for report, it's good to read.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] t-pip:
Should we all set to 20% for both or not bother if it's not causing a problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bobdoblo:
Default!

Now im getting "connected to wifi" pop up every 2 or 3 mins:confused:

Edit: just checked again and second core disabled again and cant get it on no matter the load! :confused:

Powered by NeatROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
yes it's best to set 20% if you are using low max freq,

then device will be faster on wakeups and usage.

i will set it as default in next kernel.

if you want to save battery, but get slower device.

set it to 30% and dual core will not be used normally only on high load.

and on spikes, still use one core.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
not removed, turned OFF.

in extweaks app, (get it from google) you can turn it ON in sound/swipes tab.

then see the OP for tuned and ready gestures.

you can add new, read how to at DEV thread! tongtwenty.

15% drain in less than 3hs, how much screen on time?

Android OS % very high, more than screen %, seems you left the screen off most of time?

Lol. In the same changelog. It says they have been updated. It only turned off by default. U can enable them in extweaks.

Please read harder next time.

In op there is a guide in how to use some of them.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pinx0:
So I just flashed 7.3 from 7.1, do you remember the blinking thing that happened after locking the phone?

So I'm still having it, but much quicker and only happens (as far as I can tell) if you lock the phone (with the button) when already being on the lockscreen (you set the screen on to check something but don't unlock it, then press the button),

I mean in 7.1 was like 1 second after locking the phone. Now I see the CRT off animation and like 0,1sec of my lockscreen, then the screen goes off.

PS: I already reseted ExTweaks profiles, just in case. It dind't solve the issue.

no no! counter didnt start from 100!

i want to show that in 2 hours! i didn't lost even 1%

[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
we can ignore the OS, it's will always be HIGH in case screen not used, and phone in deepsleep long time,

it's IDLE time, we have a working program a big one! it's Android VM

it's the rom in simple words, and it's keep all alive till cpu is needed,

so OS counter never stop!

i hope that it's clear all the dark info about it!

just ignore it, it's has no meaning.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alkspo:
Alright i downloaded extweaks and in swipe/sound i ticked the gesture box but the gestures still dont work :$
[Galaxy S II Android Development] b0mber85:
I have seen the same on Mali staus. IMO there isn't any point on 62mhz step because the GPU goes idle very fast. If you add to the balance the MALI TOUCH BOOST LEVEL at step 2 or 3, the phone is going to use 62mhz even less. So i think that having more steps between 100 and 267 is more battery efficient than a freq which is not going to be used too much. I'm not saying to remove it or something just that I'm going to stick with DorimanX steps and thresholds from now on.

He should post more often so we can thank him accordingly too.
