Thanks for the info.

It doesn't seem to be the Multi window option, as I just tested it with Multi window enabled and disabled.

And I have also disabled all Samsung cloud apks.

Jeboo kernel v1.1:

Just flashed Jeboo kernel v1.1 on my XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0.

It is stable and smooth on my phone.

Everything works fine (GPS, wifi, camera, Video Player, etc.).

It patches successfully the Exynos exploit (tested with Chainfire's ExynosExploitDemo apk).

First night on Jeboo kernel v1.1 ... very good battery life with fantastic deep sleep ratio.

Time on batttery: 9 h 8 m 17 s

Battery loss: 5% (95% to 90%) => 0.55%/h

Awake: 11 m 36 s (696 s) => 2.1%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeboo v1.1 (XXLSJ): Battery loss of 0,55% per hour, Awake: 2,1%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will re-do the test again on a "normal" day/night, as it was New Year's Eve I had a lot of SMS, emails, etc. which I don't have on a normal day/night.

EDIT:

Benchmark results added to first post. Some are similar to the results of previous kernel version, but some are significantly worse.

Maybe I have to re-do the benchmarks when the battery is fully charged.

Here are some screenshots:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Jeboo kernel v1.1:

Very good battery life in mixed usage too.

Jeboo v1.1 (XXLSJ): Battery loss of 1,37% per hour, Wifi: 12,8%, Awake: 11,8%, Screen: 10,0% => loss*(1-screen): 1,23%

It has nearly the same battery life than SiyahKernel v6.0b4 on my phone.

Will check v1.1a too.

EDIT:

Here some screenshots:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Jeboo kernel v1.1a:

I just flashed Jeboo kernel v1.1a on my XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0.

It is stable and very smooth on my phone.

Everything seems to work fine so far (camera, video player, GPS, Exynos exploit patch, etc.).

Now running some benchmarks.

Will add all results to first post as soon as my tests are finished.

EDIT:

Benchmark results added to first post.

Similar results than for previous kernel version.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Greg:
Sir, I see you tested Jeboo V1.1a. Have you seen any difference between this version and V1-d? I'm asking coz I didn't try Version V1.1a yet:)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I skiped the early versions and tested Jeboo kernel v1.0e as first version of this kernel.

And my tests with Jeboo kernel v1.1a are not finished.

So I can only compare v1.0e with v1.1 yet.

v1.0e had a little bit better benchmark results but v1.1 had better battery life on my phone.

Let's wait for results of v1.1a, but I think that the differences in performance and battery life are not that big.

Kernel changelog doesn't show much changes between those versions IMO.

Jeboo is a very stable and smooth kernel for XXLSJ on which everything seems to work fine ... regardless of the version (from v1.0d on).
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Greg:
Many Thanks Sir for your great explanation;)
[Galaxy S II General] Hilmesh:
hey It_ler while doing advanced Settings on Wifi, there is an option for Network Prefix Length. Mine is always 24. Can you advise what this is? as i have seen some posts where it is 16. ????
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Jeboo kernel v1.1a:

Nearly the same deep sleep ratio and only slightly worse battery life in night use.

Jeboo v1.1a (XXLSJ): Battery loss of 0,59% per hour, Awake: 2,0%

As excepted - not much difference in battery life between those kernel versions ATM.

Will check its battery life in mixed usage and report back as soon as my tests are finished.

EDIT:

Some screenshots:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
This option is only available when on static IP, and I am on DHCP ATM.

When switching to static IP, the default value seems to be 24 on my phone ... and I never changed it manually to another value.

What exactly this value means ... Network Prefix length ... so ut has to match to the setting of your WLAN router if you set those values manually.

I guess it's automatically set to the corresponding value when using DHCP.
[Galaxy S II General] bobdoblo:
Would be interesting to see you do a second test on a kernel that you have already tested to see how much it can vary:)

*NeatROM* Family Member
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I'm doing a second battery test quite often, and only if the difference is significant, I update the results in first post.

Most of the time, the results are nearly the same.

It's kind of "double" check taht I have a "stable" system for my kernel tests.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Jeboo kernel v1.1a:

Worse battery life in mixed usage on my phone.

Jeboo v1.1a (XXLSJ): Battery loss of 1,49% per hour, Wifi: 15,0%, Awake: 12,5%, Screen: 10,4% => loss*(1-screen): 1,34%

It's nearly the same as for stock / PhilZ-cwm6 kernel, but a little bit worse than for previous kernel version.

SiyahKernel v6.0b4 has still best battery life on my XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0 for me.

Now flashing PhilZ-cwm6 v3.99 kernel and then SiyahKernel v6.0b4 again to re-check stock Video Player issue.

EDIT:

Here are some screenshots:
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Update SiyahKernel v6.0b4:

No luck for me ...

Coming from Jeboo kernel v1.1a (Video Player working), flashed latest PhilZ-cwm6 v3.99 (Video Player working), then flashed SiyahKernel v6.0b4 (Video Player has FCs).

Done all flashings in CWM recovery with kernel zip files.

Still no idea what causes this. And I'm losing motivation to keep on searching, as alternative Video Player working fine and stock Video Player via Gallery also works fine.

Everything else seems to work fine.

Will do a re-test of this kernel.

[Galaxy S II General] Donnie Sins:
I'm also very curious, because it looks like you didn't use the phone but just let the screen on. But maybe that's how you test it and I didn't read that part;)

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Here is the list of my disabled/frozen apps => http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34652270&postcount=1094

As I am runnin gon XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0, salesale already pre-removed many (system) apps from the ROM.

Have a look at the RemovedApps zip file in NeatROM thread to see all pre-removed apps.

Additional tweaks ... :confused:

I have disabled some autostart options for Google Maps (see Karpfenhai's description in BBS thread - link is in post #3), black background, using minimum widgets, only manual update for my accounts/emails, brightness level set to minimum, wifi policy set to off when phone is sleeping ... I think that's it.

Nothing special IMO. I like stock value and default settings ... and doesn't like much manual tweaking.

Keep in mind, my normal usage is very light.

EDIT:

No undervolting, no underclocking, no screen filter, etc. ... if you meant tweaks like this.

And I am still using the original stock 1.650 mAh battery.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
It's described in the first post, in the second post in FAQs, and I've written it several times in many posts through the whole thread.

My normal usage is very light compared to some other users.

I'm checking my emails, Google Reader news, apps updates from Play store, syncing my Google account (contacts and calendar), etc. some times during the mixed usage battery test.

Try to keep it as frequent as always.

No fm radio, no GPS, no bluethooth, no SMS, no phone calls, etc. during the tests.

With more "heavy" usage, the battery consumption would be higher ... that's true for sure.

As this light usage is my "normal" usage, I decided to keep this as my "standard" for all kernel tests - to keep the test comparable to each other.

So you can see tendencies between the different kernels, but your own battery life with the same kernel will be totally different.

Might be better or worse, depending on many different factors ... and the usage is just one of these factors.
[Galaxy S II General] sianzb0i:
Im on stock rom. And i disabled many almost all samsung apps. Except some with dependancies which may cause extra drains. I even lowered max CPU to 1ghz and limit to 500mhz when screen off. On medium-high usage i have abt 2hrs screen time. Medium usage may or may not hit 3hrs. Services are minimum. I'll look into the details when i access my desktop but generally i have to same or even lower power config.

Maybe u can try one day with heavy usage? I might need to flash some kernels soon too :)
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I am still searching for someone doing the test with heavier usage, as some users already asked for it.

But till now, no volunteer has appeared.

And I want to keep my "normal" (= light) usage.

Maybe you are the one :confused:

Feel free to post your experiences (and test results) here.

P.S.:

Maybe you want to try NeatROM Lite. That has very good battery life on my phone even with stock/PhilZ-cwm6 kernel on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Donnie Sins:
Yes, that part I've seen, but I asked because on the screenshot there where very few apps/processes listed.

Quite extraordinary results, even with light usage;)

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I am using XXLSJ NeatROM Lite v4.0.

(Full = stock deodexed, Lite = removed bloatware + some nice modifications + rooted stock kernel = PhilZ-cwm6)

Try it as is first before flashing any other modem or CSC.

There are no other stock JB ROM versions out so far - you can flash another modem but I won't flash another (ICS) CSC.

Make a nandroid backup before flashing ... just in case ...

Re-test of SiyahKernel v6.0b4:

Nearly the same battery life and deep sleep ratio over-night than on last battery test.

Siyah v6.0b4 (XXLSJ): Battery loss of 0,55% per hour, Awake: 2,2%

So I won't update the results in the first post.

It shows that my system is still "stable" and has nearly the same results with the same system (kernel/ROM) in differents runs.

Will re-do the mixed usage battery test too.

Can confirm. If you don't have massive/heavy usage, this kind of battery life is kind of normal with NeatROM Lite.

Re-test for XWLPD:

In mixed usage, XWLPD with Fast Dormancy enabled, original XXLPW modem and new OXXLPL CSC still has worse battery life:

Maybe I have to flash the original CSC again and re-do my battery tests for another round.
[Galaxy S II General] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
https://github.com/asksven/BetterBatteryStats-Knowledge-Base/wiki/svnet-dormancy

To be honest, fast dormancy should not impact battery usage from a leakage point of view, the only thing that we can hope for is use a modem wherein the signal is good and hope for the best:)

I get 4868 points in Quadrant with a stock ROM + Kernel, using nothing but Tegrak Overclock.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, I know the different opinions about Fast Dormancy.

I just want to check point by point what part has what influence ... if any significant difference is visible at all.

That's why I hesitate to restore the nandroid backup of my "old" XWLPD system, and was re-doing the last changes (Fast Dormancy, modem and CSC) one by one.

Now I am back on my old OXALPS CSC and re-doing the battery tests.

After that, I might have to restore the nandroid backup of my "old" XWLPD system and re-do the tests again.

Just to check, if I am back on track after this.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Re-tests for XWLPD

I have done many re-tests for XWLPD ROM running on CF-Root kernel for XXLPD with different changes.

Enable/disable fast dormancy, XXLPX/XXLPW modem, OXXLPL/OXALPS CSC ...

... and here are my battery test results:

Battery stats

So, for me (my phone, my region and my mobile carrier) enabling Fast Dormancy is better for good battery life.

In night use, I could not reach the "old" battery life of my original XWLPD system ... I don't know why.

But in mixed usage, the combination of XXLPW modem and OXALPS CSC was even better than my "old" XWLPD system.

So, that's enough for my to keep this as my new base for further kernel tests.

Will update OP, make a nandroid backup of my current system and then flash next kernel.

Thanks for re-testing!

[Galaxy S II General] AndroidGX:
Good work ! those re-tests about XWLPD kernel was essential to clarify things :cool:

For fast dormancy, if you guys carrier support it, you should let it enable to save a bit more battery. I forgot since few days (maybe 1 or 2 weeks) that it was disabled, to since 3 days, since I enabled it again, I can see a nice difference coupled with XXLPW modem that I flashed back too (was using DXLP9 modem from wanam).

I'am now currently trying again latest Phenomenal (K3-20 based) in his Extreme edition since today with modified UV (CPU+GPU) due to the unsupport by my device, and all I say is just : wow, what a fantastic battery life. Very impressive :)

Unfortunately, I met a sleep of death after 2 hours of hard wifi tethering :D but, for what the service offer, I gave a second chance to my device to accept it, if not, I will try to higher a bit more some GPU UV (and/or Mhz) values. I think it could be the reason, since I hardly tried my CPU UV settings for many weeks now and everything was perfectly stable with original speedmod.

Very pleased with my current SGSII setting :cool:

*edit* : by the way, XX beginning letters modem should be the best about battery life for european people (DX for asian/australian, not sure thought), should explain why some people got nice experience with them and some not.

SiyahKernel v3.3.2:

Has not the best battery life in night use, but very good battery life in mixed usage on my phone.

It is stable and smooth, but the new battery charging animation does not show me the 100% (fully) charged when the phone is turned off.

It is not very serious, but I often charge my phone while it is turned off, and I want to see (after pressing Home or Power button shortly), if it is already fully charged.

I have flashed Shun Andromeda 1.7 ... for the first time.

It is stable and smooth on my phone.

Although SiyahKernel v3.3.2 felt a little bit smoother, Shun 1.7 has very good benchmark results.

Now I am very curious about its battery life.

EDIT:

Oh, a forced close with reboot after some minutes of doing nothing ...

Will wipe cache and Dalvik cache in recovery and reboot again.

Seems to be a deep sleep issue: As soon as my phone tries to enter deep sleep state, the phone reboots.

Could not grab the last_kmsg file.

Will try to get a solution in kernel thread.
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Yup, me too this morning. Coincidentally? I do not really believe... :D

I wanna give another chance to Shun, since It is smoother than big bro Siyah and moreover his dev is frenchy. :D

I remember that batterylife could be very excellent as long as you have well tweaked the governor and hotplug settings with Conservative.

Anyway, I'm really interesting of seeing what you'll get.

Waiting for your final first battery test for Shun mate !

keep up your good work ;)

Hello itler,

Big thanks for your intensive testing.

I'm coming from a galaxy sl, and have the s2 for two weeks now. I know my phone usage quite well and my battery usage is very constant.

Until now I used the stock gb firmware, xwlp7, xwlpg and finally following your benchmarks and test results XWLPD.

Subjectively I do absolutely confirm your results about battery live in xwlpd.
