Mate..

neat rom looks like sammy rom..n i dont like that look..the dialer etc..

i like AOKP/CM look...

m running jelly bam..

its cool..

everything works good..v good...

using dori 7.4.2

its an amzing kernel..

but i would like to have a battery life like that..100% in 10 hours..hgahah

how can i get near such battery life
[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
what have you done to that ROM? what apps you have freezed and to you have changed autorun apps?

no any tweaked settings with that kernel? and you dont use EXTweaks? thanks.

and why you dont try Phenomenal 6.1 extreme? that is best in kernel tests :p so it might be better that dorimanx if you have freezed apps lots etc..
[Galaxy S II General] drahmed86:
thanx bro that's what am gonna do as much as i can coz u look precise and delicate even in doin' ur battery tests but am NOT:cowboy:

DorimanX v7.8:

Worse battery life in mixed usage than for previous versions.

Dorimanx v7.8: Battery loss of 2,18% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 17,4%, Deep sleep: 82%, Screen: 10,2% => loss*(1-screen): 1,96%

I think my phone does not like v7.8 ... will re-test Phenomenal 61. Extreme again to verify the stablility of my system before continuing kernel tests.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
I use an app called Gemini to stop apps autostarting, i have uninstalled all bloatware, turned off auto sync and thats it.

I like performance over battery, after all you can always just charge your phone up unless you are in the middle of a desert and how likely is that?

I tried Phenomenal but the benchmarks were rubbish, i like to see 6500 minimum on Antutu.

I don't see the point in undervolting and underclocking to save tiny bits of battery which just get cancelled out by a minute or two of screen on time.

I like to use my S2 for its performance, not gimp it!

If i wanted a phone with slower cpu and better battery i would have bought a Nokia 3310 and saved some money too!;)

[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
so if you want best battery what you think that Phenomenal? was that longer battery time?

and can you tell apps tell us what apps you have deleted and what apps to deleted that autostart? i think many of us wants know that?

thanks a lot if you can help!
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
Is better if you turn off you phone instead of not using it....

I dont understand why people are using Dorimanx, it gives more problems than solution, I prefer stock kernel and works

flawlessly.

If you want better battery change the size of your battery, you can't do miracles with this smartphone, you will change the kernel even at

expense of something. Neatrom UHLPY with stock kernel is fantastic, 1 hour more of less of battery doesnt change my life.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
I didn't keep Phenomenal on my phone long enough to try, the performance was no good!

I actually prefer Siyah and will be flashing v5 when its released.

Like i said battery time doesn't bother me, i was just showing it to prove you don't have to go to silly lengths to save battery and i want It_ler to try NeatROM as i am sure it fits the bill for what he is looking for.

Just use your phone as you wish;)

As for frozen/deleted apps, there is a list somewhere, i will try and find it but just use common sense, freeze first to make sure its safe and your phone works ok before deleting:)

[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
okay.. sounds good.. :) have you stock battery? have yo disabled many apps in that gemini app manager?
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Just configure most to not auto run or start on boot completed.

What i did was look in settings-applications-running (make a shortcut on homescreen whilst you do it, will save you having to keep going through the menus) and see what apps were running, things like Playstore, maps, music player etc were running or cached so i disabled them from autostartingon boot.

Again use common sense, basically anything you have downloaded from store can be stopped and things you hardly ever use, bluetooth sharing is another.

If you have poweramp or similar go into the apps settings and turn off the option that listens out for headphones or bluetooth to be connected and in misc options turn off the avrcp (pushes song details to bluetooth device screen).

Also in message settings turn off accept push messages from network (or similar).

Because i use a custom ROM (NeatROM XWLPY 3.5) http://depositfiles.com/files/hqm7ytj8k (Looks exactly the same as stock but faster and smoother with better battery life)

i have removed kies and software update apk and other apps related to it as well.

My battery is stock 1650 yes.

5.xx and 7.xx series were merged. One kernel for ICS and JB
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Yes, it was up to and including ver 7.4. From ver 7.5 it's been changed and now it supports ICS + JB (with new mali).
[Galaxy S II General] sianzb0i:
So now i can use 7.xx for sammy based ICS? And AKOP JB regardless of MALI?
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
You can't do that regardless of mali.

To current release following rules apply:

Ver 5.xx - ICS + JB (old mali)

Ver 7.xx - ICS + JB (new mali)

For example you can't boot JB (new mali) on Dorimanx 5.xx and vice versa.

BTW:

1. There is another thread which fits better to this kind of questions: Dorimanx kernel thread

2. There is a special way to thank people who try to help you which you should follow before asking another questions :)

SiyahKernel v5.0i:

I just flashed SiyahKernel v5.0i on my XWLPY stock ROM.

It is stable and smooth on my phone - running completely default settings.

Nearly everything works fine so far ... except ... Touch key light setting does not work on "ROM default (disabled)". I have to set it manually to 1 sec. in STweaks app.

So nothing to be worried about.

Running some benchmarks now.

EDIT:

Two FCs in Vellamo Metal benchmark.

Maybe I have to wipe cache and Dalvik.

Done and benchmark results added to first post.
[Galaxy S II General] pilgrim011:
If your last tested kernel was Dorimanx, you better delete /data/siyah folder, since Dorimanx is using Siyah as base. And you should have tick vpll mode - it was default on v5.0 (without "I").;)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I had Phenomenal kernel inbetween.

i now there is list about removable apps and others.. but can you look your phone what apps you have frozen and what apps you have disabled on startup manager? because i like to know YOUR settings.. and i can donate you if you can help us to see what apps can really remove with getting good battery results? haveyou got neatrom XWLPY and Dorimanx 5.92? without any extweaks or profiles? how about battery profile?

thanks! i mean all that google backup apks ant others.. i dont want use any online syncing services or bloatware apps.. . i only want working phone and sms messaging with working google play.

so what i can delete without losing phone and sms functionality.. and 3G mobiledata..
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Yes i have extweaks but i have not changed anything in it, its just on default or whatever it comes with. NeatROM 3.5 XWLPY with Dori 5.92 is correct.

I can't give a list of what i have deleted because obviously i have deleted them and can't remember which ones.

Only thing i could do is give you a list of all my apps currently on my phone which will take a long time.

I don't really see the point in keeping things frozen, you either want/need it or you don't.

But i do have 1 app frozen because i don't want to uninstall it and thats BBS!

I always turn auto brightness off and have screen at about 20% brightness and analyze screen powersaving off. The way i see it is the phone must always be checking the brightness of the room if on auto and using power!

Also i turn all auto syncing off and turn email to manual sync.

Best to just go through that list of removable apps because it tells you what each one does and if you can or cannot remove it.

Keep whatever you are using though, i keep stock messaging, email, video, camera, music and the apps associated with them.

But just keep an eye on your running apps and the ones that are always in cache memory, they are the ones you need to sort out, no need to remove things that are not causing any drain on the battery or system really.

Use Gemini and go to settings and change to always use expert mode.

Go to each app with the orange auto symbol on it and long press till options pop up, choose configure auto run and turn off "at boot completed" on any apps that are not needed for the basic running of the system. Youtube doesn't like it so just leave that one. But camera, google play, music, email etc don't need to start at boot so turn them off.

Remember, its all just common sense!

SiyahKernel v5.0i with vpll mode enabled:

Moderate battery life in mixed usage.

Its nearly the same battery life than on rc1, a littel bit worse than for rc2 and a little bit better than on v5.0i with vpll mode disabled (on first battery cycle).

I think that the better battery life was caused by the fact that it was the second battery cycle for this kernel.

So enabling/disabling vpll mode has nearly no effect in battery life on my phone with my normal usage.

However, it does not feel as smooth as SiyahKernel v5.0i ... maybe it's because of the Gentle_Fair_Sleepers which are enabled by default in SiyahKernel v5.0i, but disabled by default in DorimanX v7.11.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, if have already tested Dream kernel v2.7.5 (is still the latest version) on XWLPX stock ROM.

It was stable and smooth, and had good battery life on my phone.

As Phenomenal, and some versions of Siyah, DorimanX and SpeedMod had a little bit better battery life with my normal usage, I didn't repeat this test on XWLPY.

Want to wait for the next kernel version.
[Galaxy S II General] j1gga84:
@It_ler

do you already know the modified Siyah Kernels:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cm10i9100vsync/files/vsync_sysfs/

vsync is added here and it is based on 4.1.5 (v4) and 5.0 (v5)

Would be very interesting to see if these have a better battery life than the originals ;)

It is not supported by GM and I also do not know who is the DEV of this kernel but as far as I know it is not only for CM10, like original 4.1.5 but I am not sure ;) I am on CM10 Custom Rom so it is no problem for me ;)

Performance is very good, compatibility is excellent, it is highly configurable, but the battery life is bad on my phone for my normal usage.

Maybe I need to flash another (not Siyah based) kernel before continuing testing DorimanX kernel versions.

Hi

Thanks for nice information:)

i want test my korea galaxy s2 kernel in same criteria

what is your criteria?

(criteria = benchmark apps version, cpu governor, dual core or single core mode or default hotplug mode, etc...)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Good idea :good:

I am using Quadrant Standard, NenaMark2, Vellamo2, LinPack, CF-Bench and AnTuTu ... always latest version from Play store.

For all kernels, I have changed nothing - just default settings. (Except there is an explicit information for a change in brackets.)

So I am using the default CPU governor, default settings for single/dual core, hotplug mode, etc.

If I change a setting, I write it (in short) in brackets after the kernel name.

The difficult part IMO is that you have to keep as much as possible unchanged, so that you have always (nearly) the same conditions.

And that are many, many different things (time, duration, place, network, connections, communication, apps, settings, temperature, etc.).

Good luck and happy testing :fingers-crossed:

Yes, within 5 mins it froze and rebooted, then it started hanging on nearly everything, back to 5.92!

I never normally flash newest Dorimanx because he seems to bring out a new one daily without fully testing it!

I think i'm at a point now where unless something that REALLY makes a difference is incorporated in new kernels, i' m just gonna stick with the best ones that i always go back to ie Dori 5.87/5.92* (my no1) and Siyah 4.14/4.15.

I have tested just about every single kernal for S2 but always come back to these as they give best balance of Performance, battery and stability:)
