Hi guys, I just went to format my internal sd in recovery and it said are you sure format /Emmc so I went back and clicked format external sd and it said are you sure format sdcard?

Could someone please confirm which is my internal storage I don't want to format my external sd by accident!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
...mmm....that's what I expected, that's probably what rlorange meant...

the problem is changing it in the init.d phase of the boot process isn't sticking, because it's overwritten in the post-init phase (probably by tweaks.sh script),

so you'll have to manually run one of the scripts you made for init.d, after each boot to change things (or get some app to do that for you, each time there's a reboot)

(adding .sh after a scripts name makes it recognizable as executable script, and clicking on it in root explorer gets it running)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexpiri:
Also if I try to execute it via root explorer nothing changes. I think there is something wrong with my script

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
...nope ..script is ok

I'm beginning to think that the difference is so small, it's not noticable

One sure way to find out:

using rootrexplorer, you can just edit these files ; just start with

/sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/user_mode and put a 1 instead of 0 inside (if it's not 1 already..)

then change one or both:

/sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/user_cb

/sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/user_cr

change whatever number you find there to 128 (valid range is 0-255)

if you still can't see a difference, change it to a more higher or lower number and check

also test this : edit the file

/sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/negative

and put a 1 in it ; your screen should invert color

put back a 0 in it, and you should get your normal colors back (or press HOME button 4 times...)

if still nothing happens, then it's a mystery...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
Ah I have a possible solution! Using root explorer you should change file ownership to root.

To save more battery we have to put Min_BL lower or higher than 30 ?

when i put lower it's like the brightness is higher and doesn't change, but if i put higher it's like it change to low brighter easily .. then if i'm on Auto-brightness .. It seems that higher to have lower bright inside is more the solution .. But everywhere i see that Min_bl have to be on 10 (lower than 30) to save battery .. i don't understand ..

Okay thanks but now can you explain me why should "min_bl 10" used to drain less battery ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
...wel.......min_bl 10 won't save you more battery ;

min_bl is kind of like a cut-off point below which brightness is set to 0 gamma (dark). Above it brightness is scaled from min-gamma to max_gamma....

so, below 10 (light-sensor units or something) screen is dark

above 10, it;s scaled from min to max

if below 30 would be acceptable to you, it will scale from min to max only above 30, and staying dark below 30, saving more battery, meaning higher min_bl would save more battery, but...screen wil be darker until above 30 is reached, which might be annoying.....

Hi people, a little help pls.

I'm trying to change the gpu voltages via init.d script, but I just can't change the values.

The script executes, the file gpu_control under /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpu_voltage_control has the date/time modified but the values remains equal the values in extweaks.

There's anyway to change that values at all?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
All right I'm not 100% sure about the boot sequence of events because I don't know when exactly ex tweaks settings run but I also had a similar issue & because of that I'm guessing that init.d runs before extweaks settings run so your settings keep getting over written. Run the script via Script manager at boot as it will run in the last phase of the boot events & ex tweaks would have alredy have completed settings its values so you should be able to set your values via a script then.

Edit: Just did a lil bit of digging through the kernel startup files under sbin & its post-init.sh that sets the extweaks profiles which in all probability runs after init.d.

It's a partial mystery but GPU voltage has a bit to play
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Napalm Candy:
Gokhanmoral, I record a video because my poor english, in the video you will understand me better.

I think that autobrightness can work better, because now at user level only can read 4 or 5 steps (10-100-1000-10000-16000 Lux), but in kernel level I think it is possible to read all lux steps levels. So I recorded a video using the factory tool "Test system" that can launch on a stock ROM calling at *#0*#

Here the video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAreA...ature=youtu.be

So, Installing Jkay MOD can see how steps of brigthness adjust automatically at notification screen, and only had the 4 mentioned steps.

I think there is a problem in 0-10 Lux, and in 100-8000 Lux, so, sometimes you see screen too darkness and sometimes too brightness.

The question is.... It is possible to modify theses steps and add at least 10 steps? Or remove steps and leave like other phones all lux meter data directly

Thank you very much.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

I use 40Mhz, 133Mhz and 266Mhz and never had a slowdown, the voltages are 800, 900 and 1000mV.

So I used MaliStatus to see GPU frecuency in real time, and I see that don't work exactly like I setup, but I think is better. I see 4 setps, 50, 100, 114 (these three is when dont play a game), also can plato 2D game like zombie dash on 114Mhz and 45% GPU charge, on a 3D game like tiki kart 3D will play on 114Mhz and some times when oppononents are near jump to 266Mhz.

I think that I really optimized, also I tweak other settings on extweaks gpu.

Thresholds at 60%, 25%, 95%, 50%. I put these thresholds after a lot of trial and error playing in different games and seeing GPU state, trying to bee stable, smooth, stable and working at lowest frequency possible.

In extweaks GPU also I put times to jump from 1second to 0 seconds in three states.

Try it! :)

PS: I found MaliStatus on this thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I think GM just copied the methods from how samsung implemented it in it's auto-brightness routine, and made it a little better and tweakable in extweaks.

The only minus-point I think there are is indeed the coarse level-steps, as you said (prob. from samsung) and that it takes about 8 sec. to shift on brightness (4 or 3 would have been nice).

If your a little bit of a programmer, you could read the sensor levels from:

/sys/class/lightsensor/switch_cmd/lightsensor_file_state

and let it set the brightness according to your own preferences.

I'm still planning to make a settings program for Tasker to determine the right gamma-shift and maybe min-max-gamma (like in extweaks) based on the light-sensor intensity at screen-on. That way if I'm outside, it will be on a higher gamma shift and maybe max-gamma, in contrast to when I'm indoors...

but that's of course if your using Tasker....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendZenify:
Use Cool Tool.

It shows cpu stats in screen and more.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertobsc:
The thing is that I can't be sure if the smooth level is working looking at cpu history. Not even with a gadget or with set cpu screen. Just because when I make the transition from the screen that shows the cpu to another it may scale to the smooth level without I'm seeing it.

And when I come back to the screen showing the cpu its already in max speed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertobsc:
Perfect, its what I was looking for. Thw!

Btw, smooth level really isnt working in Pegasus Siyah 3.3.1.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
just to be really sure, you'll have to set pegasusq's sampling time (just for testing puposes) as high as possible, because even with CoolTool or any other of those app's their sampling time maybe that long (they don't show things real-time), it doesn't catch the transition you're looking for...

(haven't tested 3.3.1 that long so I'm not sure if smoothlevel works properly there , but on 3.3.2 or 3.2.7.1 it's ok...)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namoi:
You can use cpu usage monitor too (there's a free version and a paid one).

It's much less invasive : just the freq on the top left corner like 0.2, 0.8, 1.2 etc... and it supports dual core (if you choose to display the cpu loads).

The paid one as the min refresh of 1000ms, but the Free (yes the free) can go up to 500ms (maybe 250ms, i don't remember).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertobsc:
Humm, u are right. I'll see it more carefully.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Even I generally agree with you, many XDA forum members prefer to flash a custom kernel on as much clean environment as possible (even some guidlines on this and other forums recommend it). So, I am not against doing this especially that it's not harmful for a phone and doesn't need much effort neither time.

BTW I haven't stated that it's the must. Have a nice day.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
Completely agree with the reasoning you just gave for the wipes but I was just stating a fact that there nothing gets written on either the cache or dalvik cache when a kernel is flashed based on the knowledge I had got from reading various sites & forums. Opinion is still divided even between devs on whether those wipes are necessary but I have never had any issues whenever I flash a kernel without wipes which I have been doing for a long time. I guess the reason kernel cleaning scripts came into being is also attributed to a clean environment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I think it has a lot to do with some apps, which aren't programmed as correctly as they should be (not following the correct protocol, and entry points or using options not present in other kernels) and these may act up if cache/dalvik is not wiped, when other kernel is flashed, but luckily most apps are ok is this sense.....

I have just tried phenomenal medium for a couple of days. It was stable enough i.e. no reboots or freezes. It's just that there were micro lags when scrolling homescreens/app drawer. As I hate any kind of lags I reflashed back to siyah 3.2.7.1 with droidphile's pegasusq tweaks. Micro lags now gone and back to buttery smooth.

I am unsure what it was in phenomenal that caused the micro lags. I don't think it was the CPU undervolts because in Siyah I undervolt by -50mV on all frequencies without issues. I suspect it was either the screen or bus undervolt or using Phenomenal's default Ondemand with cfq.

Either way, phenomenal not for me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
No ...:D it's not because it's white..I have a white one too...they are all the same.

Which version stock are you on (if it's one of the unofficial leaked pre-releases, that could be a cause of your problems).

To be honest, I never had any problems of what sorts flashing siyah on any rom (other than the bug in 3.2.8.x)

If I simply look at what changed after 3.1.2, it's mainly the 18 freq. steps, but this won't give any problems if you reset the extweaks profiles in recovery.

Also i assume you've tried clearing the init.d directory (also in recovery) which could give these kind of problems.

Did you try making a nandroid backup, and while in recovery wiping everything (system, data, cahce,dalvik...) and then restoring nandroid backup, and after that try another version of the kernel....

I would even try another rom if it were me....

It just doesn't make any sense, that only 3.1.2 would run on your device :confused:
