Stock XXLSJ:

I just flashed the unofficial/leaked stock JB 4.1.2 XXLSJ ROM to my SGS2.

I used Mobile Odin app as I was rooted before, removed .md5 ending of all files (Code, Modem and CSC), used "Select file..." and selected Code, then CSC, then Modem (Mobile Odin recognized and set the parts automatically), then I cleared Data (as I don't want to wipe data) and then "Flash firmware".

So I could do a non-wipe installation, and it's stable.

Some users reported FCs and other a locked network SIM - not for me.

I only had to arrange my apps in app menu and all homescreens. That is due to new TouchWiz UX.

Some USSD codes are no longer working ... such as *#272*IMEI# to switch the CSC in a MultiCSC and *#*#9900#*#* to check FastDormancy settings.

Everything else seems to work fine.

I have rooted with PhilZ-cwm6 kernel for XXLSJ as zip file flashed in stock recovery.

So far so good ...

Will prepare tests for this stock XXLSJ system. Let's see how it performs.
[Galaxy S II General] toxicro:
After 14h with wifi-on i managed to keep my display for 4h43m, i think is very good for a test version on the first run,

but i wait for the results, maybe u have better one :D

Stock XXLSJ:

It is stable and very smooth on my phone.

Has some fantastic results in some benchmarks too.

I will add all results when my battery tests are finished, as I will have to update the whole first post.

As long as I don't recognize any dramatic issue and have acceptable battery life, this might be my new base ROM ... till official JB will be released.
[Galaxy S II General] marcusmt:
crazy , good rom , s3 features is on my S2 very good

sammy good work my short test better deep sleep , good battery life
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Stock XXLSJ:

Have to abort first battery test, as my phone does not go into deepsleep.

PowerManagerService (KWL) and AudioOut_2 (PWL) wakelocks are both more than 90%.

Have to find the culprit and try again.

EDIT:

I see deepsleep !!!

It seems to be Swype ... I have Swype twice: Swype (v3.x) from ICS 4.0.4 and Swype (v1.x) from JB 4.1.2.

And enabled was the first one from ICS.

I enabled new Swype from JB, and now my phone was in deepsleep state for the first time on XXLSJ.

I un-installed the ICS Swype (v3.x) completely, as it was enabled automatically after rebooting.

That might be caused by my non-wipe installation. Maybe it was not a system/OS integrated Swype app, but a manually installed one.

Hope that my next attempt for battery test will be successful ... I am realy curious about the first battery life results of this unofficial/leaked test version of JB.

EDIT2:

After rebooting, AudioOut_2 wakelock was back.

Grr... something with voice commands is now wrong.

Even if I disable it in menu settings, or is enabled after reboot again.

Oh... I had deactivated voice commands app - now I re-activated it.

Setting is enabled, but wakelock seems to be gone.

Will test it for the next few reboots.

EDIT3:

Still no success. After rebooting, voice commands settings are back to defaults.

Enabled and automatic language selection.

I set it to German and disabled it. But after reboot my changes are gone and everything is back on default settings.

After manually disabling voice commands, AudioOut_2 wakelock is gone and deepsleep will be entered.

But I don't want to change the settings manually after each reboot.

have to find another solution ...
[Galaxy S II General] AllSeeyinEye:
I have removed swipe and vlingo, as I do with all my setups, simply because I do not use them. Running it with Philz kernel and great deep sleep.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I have also removed vlingo, but I am using Swype ... so I don't want to remove it.

But thanks for the suggestion.

Have disabled many (system) apps and restricted autorun config for Google Service Framework and Voice Commands, but now Google talk and Play store do not work any more ... and AudioOut_2 wakelock is still present and prevents deepsleep.

I will continue changing differents settings, but it seems that my phone does not save any change in my Language and Input settings menu.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Plan vs. reality:

On first attempt, kernel, system, modem, etc. worked as intended.

But CSC (hidden and cache) didn't work.

After flashing as described above with Mobile Odin (Lite) app, CSC was unknown.

Even after reboot and wiping caches => CSC unknown.

On second attempt, I flashed only hidden + cache of XWLPG ROM file with Mobile Odin, and this time, the CSC is now OXXLPL => XEU.

But TriangleAway app crashed and forced rebooting the phone.

On third attempt, I rebooted into CWM recovery mode, wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache, rebooted the phone, and ... no more issues found !

Now I can start re-testing XWLPD.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Updated over-night battery results for XWLPG, as it was slightly better than in first run.

But mixed usage battery results were slightly worse than in first run, so I didn't update these.
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Siyah 3.3.1 with XWLPG

I am very happy with Siyah 3.3.1 and XWLPG for mixed usage.:)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Good ... if you are very happy with this kernel/ROM combination, stay on that system and keep smiling :)

Have you got stock 1650 mAh battery?
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Yes mate, i have the stock battery that came with the phone, no oc or uv, default config of siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Ok, and thanks for sharing your results and experiences.
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
Thank you for the tests with LPG

Strange to see it a mid-quality rom from results when user experience on LPG is one of the best of all roms, in my opinion and in the opinion of many known cookers

Maybe this only shows that bench results are far from reality of user feel
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
What is most important IMO:

1. Real-life experience for stability => does the system work without any issues.

2. Real-life experience for smoothness => does the system feel smooth and responsive.

3. Real-life experience for battery life => has the system a good battery life with low battery consumption.

...

4. Customizable => is the system highly customizable for tweaking/change settings/load profiles/etc.

5. Compatibility => is the system compatible with many popular tools/apps for tweaking/changing settings/applying profiles.

...

6. Benchmarks => has the system good benchmark results with high scores.

Maybe I forgot some aspects and every user has a different priority.
[Galaxy S II General] Phil3759:
you are 100% true and every one will be happy on a different rom because of this
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Re-test for XWLPD:

In over night usage, XWLPD has now worse results:

XWLPD (Fast Dormancy + XXLPX modem + OXXLPL CSC): Battery loss of 1,07% per hour, Awake: 8,7%, Deep sleep: 91%

But I have changed some things:

1. I enabled fast dormancy after the advice in a battery saving tips collection.

2. Kept the XXLPX modem from XWLPG ROM.

3. Kept the OXXLPL CSC from XWLPG ROM.

So I have to change these things back again, one by one, to see what has caused the higher battery consumption.
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidGX:
I think modem influcence is a lot about battery saving, I can remember the good old XXKI4 modem for europe which was the best for Gingerbread some months ago. I don't know if it's good to let a GB modem into our ICS roms. If someone may answer this, would be interesting.

By the way, what is a CSC ? (I'am ready that you guys call me a noob :p) but that's what is so cool in android, you learn everyday even if you think you know many things already :D

I'am not sure (even if I don't know what is it) that it should be related to any battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Yeah you can use XXKI4 on ICS. We've been discussing about Modem and Battery life in the Modem thread.

We've come to a conclusion that O2UK, NELP3, NELP2, DXLP9. Are all decent.

Havent thought about KI4, Although one or two have reported about it not been much different from NELP3
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
Great! Would love to see the final results
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Here is what Intratech wrote about CSC:

It consists of two files / firmware parts = cache.img + hidden.img

Usually, it is not so important as long as you can connect to your mobile carrier.

I think that the CSC has not a very significant influence to the battery life.

That's why I will first check Fast Dormancy setting and then the modem file.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I will keep you updated :D
[Galaxy S II General] bouighil:
Can u test the new Siyah 3.3.2 please !!!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Thanks for the suggestion.

It is already on my "kernel-to-test" list in post #2.

But first I have to change some settings back to "normal" and re-do last battery tests.
[Galaxy S II General] bouighil:
Ok thank u verry much :)
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
We are all waiting for your final results, cause, yup, yours are the most complete and informative ones.

Just keep up your great work mate!

Really appreciate. :D
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Re-test for XWLPD:

In mixed usage, XWLPD has a little bit worse results as in my previous battery tests:

XWLPD (Fast Dormancy + XXLPX modem + OXXLPL CSC): Battery loss of 1,90% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 18,2%, Deep sleep: 81%, Screen: 9,8% => loss*(1-screen): 1,71%

So, I will first disable Fast Dormancy again to see, if that option makes a difference for battery life on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] AllSeeyinEye:
I'm running it in Dutch, but I don't use voice commands at all. Also removed Google+, talkback, and several Samsung apps like KIES, allshare and the hubs.

Google Now is killing battery if enabled, besides that battery life seems acceptable so far.

Battery life on leak is good.i have freezed voice commands of vlingo and swype.and my phone goes into deep sleep
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Have you done a wipe data (factory reset)?

I have also disabled Google Now, but I have flashed XXLSJ without wiping data.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, tried this too.

But after reboot, AudioOut_2 was there again ... and no deepsleep.

So I am testing other settings now.
[Galaxy S II General] pilgrim011:
Of course. Later I reatored data with Titanium.
[Galaxy S II General] Emre9110:
Dori realesed 7.19 please test it on LPY
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Hmm ... as long as I'm on XXLSJ this is not possible.

I will try to solve my wakelock issue during this weekend. Then I will decide if I go back to XWLPY to continue kernel tests on this base.

If I can solve my AudioOut_2 wakelock issue and battery life gets "normal", then I may stay on Android 4.1.2 and wait for the official release and the kernels compatible with it.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
5h on battery screen time and i have 20% still on 412 leak room.
[Galaxy S II General] AllSeeyinEye:
I don't have Google Now, and also can't remember removing it. Don't want to use it, so no problem. Could your audio wakelocks be caused by keyboard or lock screen sounds? And what kernel are you using?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I am runnig on PhilZ-cwm6 kernel for XXLSJ.

I have disabled keyboard and lockscreen sounds.

As I get deepsleep after changing the language and input settings for Swype and voice commands, I think that the AudioOut_2 wakelock has something to do with these settings/apps in my case.

As long as I don't reboot, everything seems to be Ok, but after reboot, the AudioOut_2 wakelock is back and deepsleep gone.
[Galaxy S II General] AllSeeyinEye:
It seems that every issue points in the direction of swipe. It's time SwiftKey releases a beta for SwiftKey Flow. Best of both worlds.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Ok, now without rebooting, AudioOut_2 wakelock (PWL) is gone, but there is a massive WLAN wakelock (KWL) and ... surprise ... Swype alarms.

Hmm ... something is wrong in my system :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
Swype latest from rom 412 use connect service that exist in their swype beta version also, huge ram consumption, and send your keyboard keys press to their servers, credit card maybe, pass, is like an keylogger . Do not use it, this connect service use a lot of battery. I uninstall v1.xx from 412 leak and install Swype 3.26 from 404 rom . 3.26 do not use any service and use light memory. I disable all Samsung crap and google now.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, saw all those settings/options for connections/cloud/personalization/etc. and disabled all these options.

Maybe I have to replace this Swype app too.

qs

hello every body ; i just want to ask you whta the beste kernel work very well with my s2 ** rom ics 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.15** `..... thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
If I gave you one advice - it would be: never ask on XDA such questions "what is the best ....". This is as you should know very subjective issue. Everything depends on what you expect from a kernel, what rom do you use, how do you use your phone etc. So just read about kernels on the kernels' threads (one of the good threads is also this one where you can find kernels' tests results on sammy roms), choose one which you think would be good for you, test it by yoursels, ask specific questions about it on its thread, finetune your config and just enjoy using it.
[Galaxy S II General] Gillion:
I really wished you had wiped before install.

I was looking forward to your battery tests today.

Nice battery time on 412 leak.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:

Nothing to add.

See my test results as a reference, suggestion or inspiration to flash one or more kernels on your phone, and test it yourself agianst your personal expectations and needs.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Stock XXLSJ:

Ok, it's not very respresentative, but as many users asked about my first battery test results ... here they are:

XXLSJ: Battery loss of 1,90% per hour, Awake: 23,8%, Deep sleep: 76%

And that was in night use ... so nothing done, screen off, only wifi/sync/talk/skype on.

Have added its benchmark results and this night use battery test result to first post.

This can not be my new base ROM ... yet.

Maybe I will do a factory reset and reflash the the ROM again ... just to check if the wakelock issue is still present.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
As you don't give more information, I just can point you to some good threads about rooting:

Pre-rooted ROMs => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608071 (Just flash with Odin and be happy.)

Universal rooting with ICS ROMs => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28178105 (Method 1 is flashable in stock recovery.)

There are more rooting methods and threads, but these two will do for the beginning IMO.

Good luck !

Worst battery life in mixed usage too.

XXLSJ: Battery loss of 3,29% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 37,3%, Deep sleep: 62%, Screen: 10,0% => loss*(1-screen): 2,96%

Ok, I really think about re-flashing the ROM with data part (wipe data = factory reset).

Just to test if the battery drain/wakelock issue is still existing or not.
[Galaxy S II General] 00raq00:
In XXLSJ is problem with Samsung Push app. You should disable it and second problem is with google maps, so you should disable location via wifi and don't allow google apps to know your position.

It help my battery drain over nigth 12% (~7h).

Now from 2hs battery go down to 99%, only 1 % per 2hs.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Thanks for the suggestions ... but I have already done everything you mentioned.

Samsung Push and all location services disabled.

I am testing with another Swype app version now.
[Galaxy S II General] sianzb0i:
Still have not wiped data or factory reset? And why not using stock rooted kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I am on a stock rooted kernel => PhilZ-cwm6.

And as I want to avoid wiping data, I try everything else first ... and factory reset + re-flashing the ROM will be my last option.

Why going the quick and easy way? ... not for me ;)
[Galaxy S II General] AllSeeyinEye:
Now that you're ready to start JB the way you should (changing base always goes with a full wipe ;) ), delete or freeze all apps you don't use. For me these were (not all, but the most important ones I can remember): Search/now, everything KIES related, Allshare and several related ones, the live wallpapers, face unlock, Samsung TTS, Vlingo, Samsung Apps and related stuff.

My phone responds faster than on ICS. Battery life is the same, and that without my favorite kernel (Phenomenal). Only thing is that every now and then the lockscreen freezes for a couple of seconds. I think it's an issue when waking up from deep sleep, but it doesn't happen all the time. I'm not going back anymore.

Ow, forgot to mention, I flashed the deodexed Simplistic ROM over my full stock odexed version this afternoon, replaced Gmail with Gmail 4.2 and replaced the fonts with the more crisp and thinner JB font (that strangely enough isn't in the leaked ROM?!). Haven't modded anything else (yet).
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
It_ler do you not delete all bloatware including software update apk and other related stuff? normally its the little things that give the most problems!

Also there is no task manager apart from holding down home button and i'm regularly finding my used RAM is 700MB+:eek:

Eagerly awaiting the second coming... No, not Jesus, NeatROM JB of course!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Oh I have un-installed / de-activated all bloatware ... but after reboot, AudioOut_2 wakelock is back and deepsleep state never used.

So I re-flashed the (pre-rooted) ROM again with data part => wipe data = factory reset.

Now I am restoring my system (settings and apps).

Then I test if the wakelock/deepsleep issue is gone.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Found what problem is with this "test" ROM.

Its testing as it goes!

Uninstall apks with "test" at the end, gone from using 700MB to 3-400MB RAM and phone is now snappier and more responsive especially lockscreen! :):thumbup:

Eagerly awaiting the second coming... No, not Jesus, NeatROM JB of course!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Now I flashed pre-rooted XXLSJ with Mobile Odin app including Data part to my phone.

AudioOut_2 wakelock is back.

Even after disabling various apps.

Only after disabling Google voice in ROM Settings > Language and Input, the AudioOut_2 wakelock is gone and phone enters deepsleep.

After reboot, this option is enabled again, the AudoOut_2 wakelock is back and deepsleep not entered at all.

When disabling all Google voice apps, the option is no longer visible in ROM settings menu, but the AudioOut_2 wakelock is still present and preventing deepsleep.

And why am I the only one experiencing this issue?!

[Galaxy S II General] Siberian Tiger:
I don't have problems with deepsleep.Running for now the deodexed version of Legend (I don't think that have any difference with odex)

Have you untick the options under sounds 'touch sounds-lock screen sound' ?

I use the rom as it is not freezing any app.
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Hi,

I red somewhere that AudioOut_2 is related to any apps that generates/"produces" audio like eg. music player, video player, games ect. So, maybe this is the direction you should focus? Or maybe you did it already?

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Thanks for your suggestions.

I have flashed the odexed version.

First I haven't deactivated any apps, and had this wakelock. Then I tried to deactivate all the different apps I suspected as possible culprit.

Yes, I have disabled all key/touch sounds in settings.

So I'm still searching ...
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Good idea.

Will check all those apps when my BBS idle dumps are finished.

Want to let Karpfenhai have a look at it.

Maybe he can "see" more than me.

[Galaxy S II General] rgm00003:
Hi,

Do you use noled app? For me it was the cause of the drain.

I get better battery with this leak than with ics.

[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
I use NOLED with Neatrom lite 3.6 and stock Philz kernel and I have perfect sleep, no issues with NOLED.
[Galaxy S II General] rgm00003:
I mean with the leaked jelly bean. I also used it with ics without any problem.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
No, I don't use noled app.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Ok, here is an analysis of my logs:

Maybe a changed audio driver from one of the many custom kernels I flashed in the last few weeks.

So I really have to wipe data (factory reset) and flash the XXLSJ ROM with Data part to get the new audio driver from JB ROM.

I will try it again and report back.

Update for stock XXLSJ:

I re-flashed pre-rooted XXLSJ with Data (wipe data / factory reset).

Then I have frozen/un-installed many (system) apps.

Now I have no longer the AudioOut_2 wakelock, but deepsleep is between 50% and 80% while doing nothing ... only wifi, Talk, Skype, etc. on.

Compared to similar settings in ICS ROMs, which had between 93% and 95% deepsleep ratio on my phone, this leaked JB ROM is not very battery friendly ... at least for me.

I know some guys get about 6 hours screen on time and about 32 hours time on battery, but I don't want to disable some system apps, which seem to need more battery power in this first JB leak.

I hope that there will be a stable/official/more battery efficient JB version soon.
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Thank you mate for your reports here about new sammy JB. I learnt a lot from you about behaviour of this leaked version. Enough to not flash it yet... :). Waiting for NeatromLite and missing any of custom kernels (Siyah/Dorimanx)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I was too curious to not flash it ;)

And it is really nice ... if you like TouchWiz UI/launcher.

Although it is very smooth, it's biggest disadvantage IMO is the bad deepsleep and battery life ... at least for someone who does not find the right apps to freeze/un-install.

I hope that Samsung releases the source of the first offical JB ROM too :fingers-crossed:

So that kernel (and ROM) developers can use it to create compatible custom kernels (and ROMs).
[Galaxy S II General] Donnie Sins:
I hope so too. For now I stay with Neatrom UHLPZ with Phenomenal (Medium) kernel as it gives me good battery life next to stability.

In the meantime I will keep reading here for any updates you or others may share;) Thanks!
