SpeedMod K3-32:

I just flashed new SpeedMod K3-32 on my XWLPY stock ROM.

Everything works fine so far.

It is very stable and feels smooth on my phone.

Benchmark results will be added in a few minutes, when all tests are finished.

EDIT:

Benchmark results added to first post.

Better than previous version.
[Galaxy S II General] youness1052:
+1
[Galaxy S II General] youness1052:
can you please confirm the absence of the option 2G only on stock pre-rooted XWPLY ??
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Sorry, haven't checked this (GSM only) option explicitly yet.

And now I am gong to bed ... need a little bit of sleep :p

Will check it tomorrow and report back.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SpeedMod K3-32:

Moderate batery life in night use.

SpeedMod K3-32: Battery loss of 0,92% per hour, Awake: 6,3%, Deep sleep: 93%

Worse than prevoius version, but there was the time change (DST) this night ... maybe I have to repeat this battery test again.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
In settings menu I still have the option for GSM only network mode.
[Galaxy S II General] youness1052:
Thanks i can see now it's wanamlte bug o something
[Galaxy S II General] pilgrim011:
Siyah v5.0 b2 is available more than 10 days or so, and you still haven't tested it?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
What's that?

ETA for testing :laugh:

But you are right, well observed :good:

I want to test other things first to give gokhanmoral the time to release his next/last stable version of his SiyahKernel.

That is the one I really want to test.

Beta version is Ok for testing, when I am bored :cool:

Just kidding :D

I plan to finish my running test for SpeedMod K3-32, then I will test latest Dorimanx (v5.x) or latest SiyahKernel.

EDIT:

Some news in SGS2 kernel threads.

After SpeedMod K3-32, I will test Geroxx HiroX0.32 kernel (undervolted SpeedMod like Phenomenal) ... and gokhanmoral release SiyahKernel v5.0rc1.

The stable kernel version seems to be finished soon.

So it's good news !
[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
waiting that HiroX 0.32 and that new Siyah kernel testi.. someone says that new siyah 1% battery lost within over 6 hours.. thats good...
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SpeedMod K3-32:

Better battery life on second battery cycle.

SpeedMod K3-32: Battery loss of 0,86% per hour, Awake: 6,0%, Deep sleep: 94%

Checking its battery life in mixed usage now.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
That was me:)

Put it on last night,(Siyah 5.0rc1) charged to full, woke up, checked it, 99%, checked time in cpu spy and battery in settings 6hours 23mins! (Data on, wi-fi off)

Probably would have gone longer, got over 8 hours on 1% on Siyah 4.1.4;)

NeatROM -The Best!

Salesale - deserves recognised dev status, please donate!
[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
do you think that Siyah 4.1.4 is best for of Siyah for battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
For me it was but everyone uses their phone differently, different apps running, syncing, signal etc!;)

But i always have sync off anyway and do it manually purely because i'm sick of my phone beeping every 5mins to say i have a new email:banghead:

Btw: these times were done without even trying, i didn't go out my way to see what it could do, everything default.

Speed Mod K3-32:

Not the best battery life in mixed usage.

SpeedMod K3-32: Battery loss of 1,83% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 17,7%, Deep sleep: 82%, Screen: 9,8% => loss*(1-screen): 1,65%

Let's try undervolted SpeedMod => HiroX0.32 (like Phenomenal).
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
HiroX0.32 Extreme and Intensive both lead to bootloop after flashing on my phone.

So I have to wait for fenomeno83 to release a new version of Phenomenal kernel.

I flashed SiyahKernel v5.0rc1 instead. This is stable on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SiyahKernel v5.0rc1:

I just flashed SiyahKernel v5.0rc1 on my pre-rooted XWLPY stock ROM.

Everything works fine.

It is very stable and smooth on my phone.

Benchmark results added to the first post.

Now battery tests are running.

EDIT:

I want to add some comments about my first impressions of this kernel.

I like the support of CWM Manager app ... it's not something really needed, but I like to have the oportunity to use this app for some CWM recovery actions - without any warning popping up everytime.

I like the CWM6 touch recovery. Even if everything I do is also included in CWM5 and easy available in non-touch version, I prefer this CWM version ATM.

I am very pleased and also a little bit surprised by the compatibility with TriangleAway app. On other kernels I have to click through three different messages after starting this app, and then I don't see the current state of the custom flash counter - I have to boot into a "special mode" before. With SiyahKernel, no messages after starting the app and I can see the current counter state directly. AND even for resetting the flash counter, no reboot is needed ... only waiting for some seconds and the counter is "0" again. That is impressive IMO.

STweaks app was installed automatically by flashing the kernel. I am not a big fan of tweaking apps, as I prefer to flash and run the system "as-is", on unchanged/completely default settings. But sometimes I check the default settings (e.g. in ExTweaks), if everything is preset how I would have done it. And in this kernel version, SiyahKernel v5.0rc1, ALL settings are exactly like I would have set them. So, I really didn't even think about changing any of these settings. => Perfect fits to my needs !

I am curious about the final/stable kernel version.

Everything on completely default settings.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
1. I am on stock XWLPY ROM, and you are on NeatROM.

2. I have wifi, Skype, Talk, etc. on all the time, and you said something about disabling these during the night.

3. I am on the first battery cycle with this kernel, and I think you are already on the second or third cycle?!

Maybe I have to re-test on a second battery cycle to verify my results.

But first I will finish my mixed usage test and report back.
[Galaxy S II General] tobyhund:
Hi it_ler,

Great work you are doing!! Very useful!!

Just out of curiosity why a stock CM9/10 kernel was never tested?? Would be nice to see how well it fares against the rest. I have always wondered if a fancy kernel does really bring about significant performance/battery gains. My UV/UC CM kernels have always been super stable and gives comparable battery life. Would be nice if that can be validated by actual data.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
He is testing kernels only on Sammy's stock ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
The answer is already given:

I like Sammy's stock ROMs and do not plan to flash a custom ROM (and Cyanogen Mod is also a custom ROM ... not a stock ROM) in the near future.

Maybe sometime ...
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SiyahKernel v5.0rc1:

Worse battery life in mixed usage.

Siyah v5.0rc1: Battery loss of 1,93% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 17,3%, Deep sleep: 82%, Screen: 10,1% => loss*(1-screen): 1,74%

Will re-do the tests on a second battery cycle.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SiyahKernel v5.0rc1:

Nearly the same battery life in night use on second cycle.

Siyah v5.0rc1: Battery loss of 0,80% per hour, Awake: 6,0%, Deep sleep: 94%

Seems to be stable.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Not that great for you then, thought it would do better even with differences in our phones!

NeatROM -The Best!

Salesale - True Super-Dev!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Aborted the mixed usage test for SiyahKernel v5.0rc1 as it had nearly the same result as on first cycle.

Now I flashed CF-Root (rooted stock) kernel for XW_NEE_LPY on my XWLPY stock ROM, just to verify my test results for the stock ROM/kernel.

Then I will continue testing custom kernels.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
salut, this latest room xwlpy has wifi bug, when wifi freeze and you need to reset the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Salut,

I haven't had a freeze on XWLPY stock ROM till now.

No issues recognized ... wifi on all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
CF-Root v5.6 XW_NEE_LPY:

Slightly better battery life in night use than for pre-rooted stock and PhilZ-CWM6 kernel before.

XWLPY (CF-Root): Battery loss of 0,78% per hour, Awake: 6,7%, Deep sleep: 93%

Seems to be normal "noise" (variation/differences).
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I just managed to flash stock XWLDG ROM (FOP / Spain version) and CF-Root v5.5 kernel for XWLPG (NEE / Nordic version).

Was a little bit tricky, as I had some problems with Mobile Odin (Lite) app and N.E.A.K. v2.0.6.

Restore of my previous nandroid backup did not work properly with CWM Manager app.

After restoring it via CWM recovery mode manually, the modem/phone was brick.

Then I flashed the modem file XXLPX with Mobile Odin (Lite) app again.

Then I recognized that the boot logo (not the boot animation) was failed to load.

...

After all on-device attempts, I connected my phone with USB cable to my PC and used "good old" Odin to flash the stock XWLPG ROM.

That worked fine, the boot logo was repaired, all parts of the firmware were properly flashed.

Then I flashed CF-Root kernel with Odin to my phone and used TriangleAway app to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter.

Now I am doing a new nandroid backup.

Puuuhhh ... never thought how exciting it could be to flash a new ROM ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
My first impressions after flashing XWLPG:

1. Very stable (ok, it's stock).

2. Not as smooth as XWLPD and XWLPF (very poor benchmark results).

3. Except new version of Google search app, nothing really new recognized.

Hope that battery life will show better results.
[Galaxy S II General] minidou-77:
May I suggest you to test shun

I don't have the link but it can be found here on XDA
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Thanks for your suggestion.

Shun Andromeda kernel is already on my "kernels-to-test" list in Post #2.
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
@It_ler

I refer to your thread very often to see what kernels are new and what their performance is like. It is almost unbelievable that XWLPD (being stock) performed so well. Never did I think that Samsung can produce a kernel which performs so well on AnTuTu and still have such great battery life. If you have time, would you care to test it again? When I run XWLPD, my battery life is not as good as Siyah 3.2.7.2.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I didn't believe the numbers for XWLPD too.

So I already ran a second battery test.

The results in second run were a little bit worse, but XWLPD still had best results of all tested stock kernels/ROMs on my phone so far.

Must be caused by my "normal" usage, which is pretty "light".

I want to finish my current tests for XWLPG ... and I may have to do a second battery cycle for that.

Then I plan to re-do the tests for XWLPD and update my results.
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidGX:
Ok for me XWLPD Cf-Root is still over LPG one.

Even in deep sleep at night or normal day using, LPD is clearly better for my device.

Smootheness aswell, since on LPG I had many lags between animations, scrolling in widgets and homescreens, etc.

I revert back to LPD ;)
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
So judging by this thread, we want

LPD ROM

Phenomenal 5.3/5.5 Kernel or LPD Kernel
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Same experience for me too.

But I will finish my test first.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Judging ... I just post and share my test results.

All test results are specific for my phone, my settings, my apps, my region, my "normal" usage, etc.

I try to judge kernels and ROMs only for myself and my phone.

Hope that everyone understands that the same kernel / ROM combination may/will have different results on another phone, in different region, with changed settings, for other usage, etc.

Take my results as a kind of inspiration to try a special ROM/kernel on your phone ... and share your experiences.

Sometimes we will see (nearly) same results, sometimes not.
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
I kinda have to disagree with you to a point ...

Your hard work is conducted on the same phone with the same parameters. Therefor the results you get are comparitive seeing there are certain constants. If these tests were conducted on different phones with different apps and different settings, then what you say is perfectly correct. But because there are little variables, one can safely see a trend from one kernel to another. I have used Siyah kernels and found for my usage (which is different from yours), that battery life between them are in the same order e.g. 3.2.7.2 better than 3.2.8.2 better than ... etc. So the work you do here is valuable because even though I might get less battery life than you, the order of kernel will be the same.

It is like comparing it to the milage one can get from tyres ... you will get 70000kms from a set of Michelins and 65000kms from Pirelli ... I will get 60000kms from the same set of Michelins and 53000kms from the same Pirelli. This shows that the life of a Michelin is longer than Pirelli whether you corner hard and is heavy on braking and accelerating or whether you are driving Miss Daisy ...
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Ok, nothing against the trend/tendency idea between same kernel versions.

But there still might be another order for different kernels for changed usage.

E.g. Phenomenal Extreme is extremely undervolted and may have significant lower battery consumption for heavy usage compared to a stock kernel in same heavy usage, whereas the stock kernel can have a little bit better battery life than Phenomenal Extreme for my "light" usage.

That's what I wanted to state clearly.
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
Okay ... I see what you mean ... Perhaps I don't understand the complexities of kernels enough yet. But based on my results from the different Siyah kernels, it would seem we have similar usage - so whatever you post is extremely valuable to me.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Thanks for your feedback.

It is a good motivation for me to keep up my "work".
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
XWLPG has no the best battery life for me compared to XWLPD.

As I had some issues to flash XWLPG, I will give it a second chance and re-do the tests in another battery cycle.

If I recognize a difference, I will update my results.

If not, I will go back to XWLPD.
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
thanks to complete it, also the benchmarks
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Benchmark results ... ok.

As long as the system feels smooth, benchmark results are not that important to me.

In second battery cycle, the over night battery life is slightly better for XWLPG compared to the first run.

Will finish the second mixed usage battery test for XWLPG and update its results.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
My plan for next test:

1. Using Mobile Odin (Lite) app.

2. Selecting XWLPD ROM file with "Open file ...".

3. Deselecting Cache and Hidden (for CSC) => want to keep current OXXLPL => XEU CSC.

4. Deselecting Modem/Phone => want to keep my current XXLPX modem.

5. Selecting CF-Root kernel for XXLPD with "Kernel" => want to have a rooted "stock" kernel.

Hope that this time, I will have more luck for flashing another ROM with Mobile Odin.

Last time, I had some issues, which forced me to use PC Odin again.

Will report, if my plan works as soon as my current test is finished and I am flashing XWLPD ROM again.
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
After freezing most useless programs, LPG is at 99% deep sleep with wifi/data off and 97% if on. Never had such results before, same setup

But agree, depends on each setup

When you test, rom is stock with 1 account sync setup?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, 1x Google account (calender, contacts, reader and internet), and for stock Email app I have three email accounts to sync.

CF-Root v5.6 XW_NEE_LPY:

Good battery life in mixed usage.

XWLPY (CF-Root): Battery loss of 1,70% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 16,9%, Deep sleep: 83%, Screen: 10,1% => loss*(1-screen): 1,53%

I will prepare next custom kernel test on this base.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SiyahKernel v5.0rc2:

I just flashed SiyahKernel v5.0rc2 ... had it downloaded before gokhanmoral removed the files.

Ok, I had one freeze (SOD) in Quadrant Standard and one FC in NenaMark2 benchmark.

But except of that, it seems to be stable on my phone.

And it has the best score on NenaMark2 (OpenGL) benchmark I've ever had on my phone.

So, the latest changes concerning the graphics are really amazing.

Thumbs-up gokhanmoral !
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SiyahKernel v5.0rc2:

Nearly the same battery life in night use like rc1.

Siyah v5.0rc2: Battery loss of 0,81% per hour, Awake: 5,2%, Deep sleep: 94%

Still no freeze (SOD) or FC in "normal" usage :fingers-crossed:

So my battery test can be continued.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
SiyahKernel v5.0rc2:

Better battery life than rc1 in mixed usage.

Siyah v5.0rc2: Battery loss of 1,71% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 16,0%, Deep sleep: 84%, Screen: 10,2% => loss*(1-screen): 1,54%

And no more freeze (SOD) or FC.

Battery life is a little bit worse than for stock kernel and last stable SiyahKernel v4.1.5.

Let's wait for the final/stable version.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
DorimanX v5.92:

I just flashed DorimanX v5.92 on my XWLPY stock ROM.

Everything seems to work fine so far.

It is stable and smooth on my phone.

Its battery life in night use is a little bit better than on v5.90, but a little bit worse than for v5.87.

Dorimanx v5.92: Battery loss of 0,84% per hour, Awake: 5,3%, Deep sleep: 94%

Let's check its battery life in mixed usage and after that, I will run benchmark tests.
[Galaxy S II General] a0007:
whats about DorimanX 7.7
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I want to test latest v5.xx first, then I will continue testing the latest v7.xx version.

I read in kernel thread that v7.7 might be unstable on some devices and then you have to go back to v5.92.

But thanks for the information and your suggestion.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:

Hello, the Dorimax Kernel (7.xx) can dualboot ?
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Yes, it can (use the latest 7.8). However it supports ICS +JB with new mali drivers (for JB with old mali use 5.xx).
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
So RC2 works for you as well.. :crying: for me unfortunately not. The same situation I faced on Siyah 4.1b1 (1st trial of new GPU steps). Of course I'm not complaining jus stating the fact - my phone belongs to the second group of devices which can't work with new GPU freq steps). As Gokhanmoral wrote: it might be issues on some devices. Forunately I heard that in the final release there will be an option to choose between old and new steps. Regards
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
My SGS2 belongs to the first group of devices. It can handle Phenomenal Extreme undervoltings :cool: and new GPU freq steps :good:

... but it has an insane EMMC chip ("brick-bug") :crying:

This is why you should try NeatROM 3.5 XWLPY! Dorimanx 5.92 Kernel

Everything DEFAULT - No UV or UC, No aeroplane mode.
[Galaxy S II General] Siddarth Malik:
are u serious? 10 hours and 100% battery..

how can that be possible?

if it is possible then its amazing

Pls post the link for the ROM and ur settings
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
100% is not 100% :confused:

If you charge your phone till 100% and unplug it at once, you have 100% ... but maybe only for about some seconds, then it's 99%.

If you fully charge your phone and let it be plugged-in for additional time (some minutes or hours), then unplug it, you also have 100%, but it might last way longer till it goes down to 99%.

That's why battery stats should always contain more than only one battery state.

Nevertheless it's amazing, 10 hours without 1% battery drain ... I once had 1% battery loss in about 9 hours, but only in airplane mode.

So your "night use" seems to be similar to airplane mode ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Its serious mate, i charged it just before i went to bed and if you look wi-fi was still on, so i turned it off and weny to bed.

Didn't intend to do test or anything so when i woke up after 6 hours 30mins i noticed it still said 100% so i left it as long as i dared before it went down to 99%:)

You really need to try NeatROM It_ler, it is amazing, plus i get ~6600 on Antutu!

Btw i always get good results when i freeze bbs!!!:confused:

[Galaxy S II General] drahmed86:
R U SURE that u get good results when u freeze BBS???

coz if that true so it's the bottom line since i always get abuggin' kernel wakelock called battery monitor on my note2 and idunno how to deal with it though i set watchdog option off which is now comes integrated with the new bbs.

anyway am gonna try freezing bbs but how would i know if this wakelock disappear or not???:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Just a guess:

Freeze BBS and observe your battery life.

If you have nothing else changed and check for the same period of time doing the same with your phone at the same place, then the battery life (or battery loss) should be the same. If it is better, freezing BBS can help on your phone. Else, forget about it an re-activate BBS again.
