DorimanX v7.15.1:

I just flashed DorimanX v7.15.1 on my XWLPY stock ROM.

Everything worked except of ... my touchkey light is always on now.

I have set in Display settings menu to "Always off", and in STweaks app to "Use ROM defaults (disabled)".

I have already rebooted several times, have wiped cache and Dalvik cache and fixed permissions in recovery ... nothing helped.

(In v5.13, with the same settings ... the touchkey light was always off as wanted.)

In v5.15.1 no luck ... and my first FCs ... seems that it was a superuser/SU issue.

Had an error message about a forced close for superuser/SU ... and now touchkey light is off.

So it was a false alarm ... no kernel bug.

It is stable and smooth on my phone.

Running benchmarks now ... will update first post as soon as the tests are finished.

EDIT:

After reboot, the touchkey light is on again.

I changed settings in ROM (screen settings menu) and STweaks app, then the touchkey light was off again.

But after reboot, the light is on again ... on when touching for 1 or 1,5 seconds.

So It's nothing dramatic, but this seems not to work exactly as I want it to work on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] pilgrim011:
I've already heard people reporting SU crashing issue on newest Dori, so it seems like it's kernels fault.

DorimanX v7.15.1:

Moderate battery life in night use.

Dorimanx v7.15.1: Battery loss of 0,86% per hour, Awake: 5,3%, Deep sleep: 94%

Ok, I disabled CRON Tasker serivce, as I don't want to use any of the CRON jobs ATM.

Here is dorimanx's answer to my problem report => http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33962819&postcount=14918

This issue seems to be related to a different BLN code used in v7.15.1.

I hope that dorimanx will find the cause and fix it.

DorimanX v7.15.1:

Very good battery life in mixed usage.

Dorimanx v7.15.1: Battery loss of 1,68% per hour, Wifi: 100%, Awake: 15,1%, Deep sleep: 84%, Screen: 10,0% => loss*(1-screen): 1,51%

Best for v7.x kernel versions and nearly the same as for Phenomenal 6.1 Extreme on XWLPY stock ROM.

Only v5.87 and v5.92 had a little bit better battery life on my phone.

Ohh ... I have to finish benchmark tests ... will update first post soon to added all results.

Siyah 5.0.1 outt! Can you test with vpll on and off please! :) Which is better for battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I've just flashed SiyahKernel v5.0.1 and testing right now.

On completely defualt settings, vpll mode is disabled.

That is my first test.

Maybe I'll test it on a second battery cycle with vpll mode enabled ... I will decide after my current tests with default settings.

[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
thats good screen time but what you think battery time if you dont use your phone a lot? is that better than default siyah 4.1.5?
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
I would say they are very similar, i didn't have gemini autostarts when i tested Siyah 4.1.4 so its hard to compare.

I'm very impressed with this Dorimanx though.

Salesales *NeatROM 3.5* - The Best!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I would also prefer a tabular format for better comparison, but I can't find a TABLE tag in available BB codes.

That's why i have to list my results.

Alternatively I could put them into a local table, make a screenshot and put this as an image into the first post.

But I don't want to spend too much time with formatting the results.

If you can suggest a quick and easy method for better formatted results, let me know.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Since DorimanX v7.5 you can use it for ICS and JB with new Mali drivers.

For JB with old Mali drivers, you should use v5.x.
[Galaxy S II General] AllSeeyinEye:
I was thinking the same thing this morning, that it would be better readable if in a table. Alternatives could be the [ list ] tag and/or splitting your results and sorting them by base, so you get a few shorter lists eg. for XWLPD, XWLPT, XWLPX etc.

Furthermore I am very content with all the effort you take in sharing your testing results. Keep up the good work!

SiyahKernel v5.0.1:

Bad battery life in night use.

Siyah v5.0.1: Battery loss of 1,00% per hour, Awake: 6,9%, Deep sleep: 93%

Relatively high WLAN wakelocks ... maybe the reverted wifi drivers, or I just have to give it a second battery cycle.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Do you ever get better results on 2nd cycle?

Salesales *NeatROM 3.5* - The Best!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, sometimes the same system has a little bit better battery life on second (or third) battery cycle.

It's just a matter of the "settling down" of the battery stats chip to show more reliable battery power stats/values IMO.

Haven't you made this experience yet?
[Galaxy S II General] pilgrim011:
My first impression is that 5.0.1 may be battery friendlier than 5.0i, but so far it's only a feeling. I'll wait at least first battery cycle before judging.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
No, never noticed really, i have noticed on modems but never kernels.

All the screenshots i post are of the 1st night so if its true then my battery could get even better results!:eek:

I agree with pilgrim011 that Siyah 5.01 seems more battery friendly but still doesn't have that certain something, i don't know what it is but it just doesn't "feel" as good as Siyah normally is (4.14, 4.15)

Salesales *NeatROM 3.5* - The Best!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Hmm ... ATM the mixed usage battery test for SiyahKernel v5.0.1 does not give me a good feeling either.

I think that I will enable vpll mode in second cycle and maybe I will run a third with vpll mode disabled again.

Just to verify if there is a difference in battery life without any further changes.
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
I have the same "feeling" that 4.1.5 was much more battery friendly then 5.0i/5.0.1. Recently made some testing on my tweaked setup (Neatrom Lite 3.5 + Siyah 5.0i). This is what I managed to achieved for mixed usage of the phone:

- On battery time (100% - 2%): 3d 19h

- Screen on time: 4h 54min

- Phone calls: 35 min

[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Thats very good for 5.0i, did you do much browsing?

When i was on 5.0i and browsing xda i could literally see my battery going down.

Think i got about 7 hours altogether with less than 3 hours screen on!

"Screen on" time I spent mostly on XDA Premium app (Tapatalk) / WCDMA mode. Didn't use WiFi. Also very limited use of stock browser.

I was so idsappointed that I accidentically wiped data in CWM recovery :crying:

Now I am restoring my last nandroid backup ... of 1st Nov. :(

Then I will have to flash back SiyahKernel (as the nandroid backup was for CF-Root kernel XWLPY), and restore all settings back to the last state.

Grrrr .... and I can not blame anybody else for that mess ... it was only me :silly:

Ok, old system restored, SiyahKernel v5.0.1 flashed again.

Everything back to the settings like before ... except ... I enabled vpll mode now.

New NenaMark2 benchark result is significantly higher than with vpll mode disabled.

Siyah v5.0.1 (vpll): 55,1

Now I am preparing battery tests.
[Galaxy S II General] pilgrim011:
That's weird - for me on first cycle I got better results than with 5.0i. About 3 h 20 m screen-on time, 15 hours without recharging. That's almost an hour more than I achieved with 5.0i, but most of the time I was in dark places, so brightness was low. That's why I'm not sure about battery yet - tomorrow I'll be outdoor mostly so I will see what is the behaviour in these circumstances. By the way, I was on mobile data all the time on first charge, no wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
In theory when we compare power consumption required for 3G data and WiFi, mobile data takes on 3G a litle bit more. So on WiFi should be even better. However if you were on 2G then WiFi should generaly take more.
[Galaxy S II General] pilgrim011:
I'm always on 3g. By the way, I forgot to say that screen-on time suggests that 5.0.1 is slightly better than 5.0i, but much worse than flawless 4.1.5.
[Galaxy S II General] zonehack:
I'm just saddened by the fact that the newest versions of my favourite kernel Siyah have such bad battery life.. :/ And the thing is Gokhan doesn't even have an S2 anymore, so it would be very hard for him to do tests and try to improve battery life.

Maybe if the new Dori kernels can have the 4.1.5 level of battery life hmm..

Have you NeatROM 3.5 and Dorimanx 7.15.1? there is Dorimax 7.16.

Just change on boot for now, reeboot phone and see how you go, also turn email to manual sync, motion off, all location services off until needed, use dark wallpapers and turn brightness as low as you can handle without looking too dull, i have at about 20%, turn auto brightness and screen analyzer off.

Salesales *NeatROM 3.5* - The Best!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
This is a kernel specific feature of DorimanX (since v7.14).

From the changelog:

In easy words ... it is a service to do regular (i.g. every hour and/or every day at a special time) tasks.

Predefined are system cleaning tasks.

Difference to other timer/task apps is that this is embedded into the kernel to use less resources, such as memory/RAM, CPU, battery power, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
With vpll on. Back to default kernel, with any siyah I get dropped calls.

Tried xwlp7, xwlpx, xwlpy , siyah 414,415,5.0I,501.

Also dream.kernel same problem, it's build on siyah.

I just want an custom kernel with overclock, without dropped calls....

And, it's not modem and ril, I tested my original rom, same problem,
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
First of all, I recommend to find a system in which you have no dropped calls.

Maybe it is a carrier specific issue ... or it could also be a hardware issue of your phone.

And when you found and installed a system without dropped calls, then change/flash one thing step-by-step to recognize, which is the cause of your dropped call issue.

Overclocking should be the last thing to change IMO.

Good luck !

SiyahKernel v5.0.1 was very stable (with and without vpll mode) and very smooth on my phone, but it had very bad battery life for my normal usage.

I don't know why ... I suspect something around the reverted wifi drivers, as the wlan wakelocks were significantly higher than in previous SiyahKernel version.

Latest DorimanX kernel had slightly better battery life on my phone, but it is still bad ... compared to older kernel versions such as v5.87.

That's why I decided to flash and test another kernel before coming back to DorimanX ... so Dorimanx has some additional time to release x new kernel versions. Maybe then there is one that has better battery life on my phone with my normal usage.
