Thanks for the great kernel dev! I moved from fluxi and now missing one thing, I used to have Tasker profile for games at 500 CPU max, now if i set it up stressful games like Asphalt or Trials hang on bootscreen and I have to restart. I tried increasing the freq to 800 but it still didnt help.

I have undervolted all CPU freqs to my regular numbers and I have no lags or SOD, everything is smooth. GPU freqs left untouched.

Did I miss something?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmvcarlos88:
Should be implemented conservative? Or is enough a tweaked ondemand for best battery? I think it's the only "important" governor i miss.

And, can be added more steps in mv gpu undervolt and in mhz. I don't know if it's because of voltage control that shows a few or kernel...

Thanks dharam for asking people.

Also I've seen that someone had problems with latest cm9. I wanted to try kaffe4eck cm9miui but doesn't boot, i don't know if it's kernel or his ROM. So i decided to come back to my previous cm9miui of chilzz that works ok. Maybe was a cm9 base problem and didn't boot because of this like the other partner said

Cpu 500 max ?? Sorry i didnt understand...

Thanks for replying..I'll see what I can do :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yadabwoy:
sine flashing this kerenel to checkrom v7 my phone is no longer recognized by windows via usb I tried another kernel siyah which works fine ay ideas how to fix this ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vovuska:
Basically I have a profile in Tasker which limits the maximum CPU freq to 500Mhz when I play games, as it is enough to run most games and it saves a lot of battery as well,but with your kernel it freezes unfortunately
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Hmm, try increasing the frequency's voltage and see...the kernel is extremely undervolted with 1.8 and so maybe it is causing freezes... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JohnBonchie:
Is there anyway to disable touchkey lights?:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
Yes if you are using aosp rom theres an option in advance settings...

If your running sammy roms i belive that there is an options too on display

sent from my lovely phone....hmmm wait its a tablet...waaa i dont really know.....im PARANOID NoW!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
If you are on an AOSP/AOKP go settings>device settings>sensor and sei it from there..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JohnBonchie:
It doesnt stick:/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
If it is working for other's and not for you then try doing Fix Permissions in Recovery :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JohnBonchie:
Yes boss! Just tt right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vovuska:
Tried that, and funny thing is games work if I manually decrease max CPU freq to 500mhz in voltage control, but they freeze with Tasker profile :-( should I use another governor for games?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
try OnDemand...SmartAssv2 is mainly for normal usage and battery savings... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kantjer:
For me it's just the other way around. If I enable keys back-lite the keys light up but never time out (time-out set to 3 default seconds)

The key back-lights go out only when the screen times out, after that they never light up again until I disable and re enable keys back-lite again.

EDIT: Fix permissions didn't fix this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Fix should come with the next version ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xSLEEPERx:
All freq -50 mV and still no FC or SOD v1.8 nice! :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Pstrain561:
LOL ill donate you an LG P500. **** that phone drove me nuts. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
:p ;) Dude...Low end devices are the best to develop... :)

I had once a galaxy 3...super development on that... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m1trand1r:
hehe...we still use ur famous G3mod kernel as base for others:D...best kernel ever for Galaxy 3 aka Apollo:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Pstrain561:
Your right i was so glad of Franco to develop a kernel for us and to have an unofficial cm7 port.

But now im more than glad to have my Sgs2 coupled with Cm9 and this buttery smooth kernel with excellent battery life ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Who's ready for v1.9 ?? ;) :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tugler:
me
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pepot:
And me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Its coming tonight :D

Wait for it...!!!

Call the whole community...We have a complete package this time :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
cool i will be on the lookout.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Ok, let me roll out the surprise part by part :)

1) Adjustable Vibrator Probably Fixed - Not Tested Yet though :)

2) N7000 Update3 mmc drivers, disable MMC_CAP_ERASE :)

More coming in some time :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
Great if need help you know where find me ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
3) BLN !!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] viscocesco:
Have you update also wifirst driver?

Because the driver present on 1.8 have toggle issue on Omega v15...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Nope haven't updated the Wifi Drivers...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] viscocesco:
Can you try to update it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Done ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] viscocesco:
Thank you Sir!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Uploading Kernel ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RoseN-95:
Awesome man! :D

Will you be adding "Breathing" BLN in 2.0? ;)

You have to be the only developer I've seen so far who is active and I mean ACTIVE (with answers) in his thread! Keep it up !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
Yep he's working on it...

We'll see breathing and blinking effects ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
v1.9 Released

Happy Flashing !!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RoseN-95:
Awesome :D Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kantjer:
Installed and rebooting now. Did you change the voltage settings?

v 1.8 needed some extra juice to make it stable for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Actually breathing effect is already implemented, just dont have an interface to switch between the effects for now...Its just because I dont want an extra app for it...

I'll figure out something with the next version...For now enjoy the static BLN :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Nope, haven't changed the voltage settings yet...

Will do it with 2.0 :) For now, still testing out different values :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] phenomarc:
I will try and test. I come rom fluxxi. Thanks for this kernel!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
This n7000 mmc driver is known to cause slomo bug, isn't it??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I dunno...just updated...let's see...if the bug appears, then we can revert back in 2.0 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I am always active on my own thread...Love to help the users and improve the kernel by their feedback...

Always Remember ,

Help will always be given, to those who ask for it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m1trand1r:
That's the spirit:D:good:....keep it up Dharam:)....i hope i'll get my S2 soon...this'll be the first kernel i'll flash on it:D...for sure;)

Cheers;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] viscocesco:
You are a great man Sir!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] stocovick:
Hey Dharam_Maniar, thank you for this awesome kernel. With fluxi out of the equation and siyah not giving much attention to us these days, DarkKnight has great potential to become one of the greatest kernel available for the s2. I just want to report that, at least for me, scrolling wasn't that awesome. As a siyah user and more recently fluxi, I have to say that scrolling on those kernels are much better right now, specially fluxi that give's us the option to choose between different presets of scrolling settings, like cm9's, gingerbread's (i really like this one), so if you could take a look on that it'd get even better! Thank you and keep up with the good work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ckyi23:
Just a small donation. 77J85963FX655160E:fingers-crossed:

Love your work:good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RoseN-95:
Totally Agree, Loved Gingerbread! First impression is that Fluxi was smoother too :) Will look further into that tomorrow so dont take this so serious :D

Do you have to use a BLN app from market to activate BLN?

You wrote that you could change Vibrator Intensity,how? I'm on Ressurection Remix if that matters :D

Otherwise,thanks alot! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] testicaltroy:
Hey for the multi boot, does the kernel have to the same version on all the roms. Or can you have one running 1.8 and the other running 1.9?

Also is there a youtube video on how to multiboot with this rom?

Looks interesting

Cheers,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
ok so far in 1.9 I am having a problem with BLN not turning off and with Vibtration not being reduced. Is there a way to change these, I need a lil bit of help on this cuz I am used to using Extweaks and xxTweaker.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ckyi23:
And I am having the problem with the low intensity of vibration...

Does anybody have the same problem??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] androidkid311:
Huh!? I can't under volt like how I do with any other kernel, just fc. Using voltage control:-/.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I will look into the matter and provide a fix in the next version :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
you will not actually need to undervolt in this kernel this damn gud battery friendly.....

@dharam mate your awsome i really like this kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fLaMePr0oF:
Love it

Have been using Dark Knight for some time, first with CheckROM v4 and now with CheckROM v6 and it is by far the best kernal for the SGS2.

As well as giving me the highest performance benchmarks of any kernal in Quadrant and Antutu, it also manages to provide the longest battery life with an incredible inactive / standby time (after a full charge I can leave my phone on all day with the screen off and at the end of the day it will still be on 100% battery life).

Haven't tried the ICS version but why the hell would I want the bloated wasteful under performing crap that is ICS on my handset anyway?!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alexxx87mi:
hi, thanks for this wonderful kernel.

i have a question.

i've uv the cpu with voltage control.

but how can i uv the gpu? i can't make this vith voltage control.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Yes, I found a fix for your problem....Go to CWM recovery and do Fix Permissions...

Even i faced the same problem with Samsung ROM, and could fix it similarly :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
http://checkrom.com/threads/darkknight_ics_v1-6-coming-soon.815/ ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
to

:)

So now UV also works :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Was the v1.5 stable for everyone?? Then I will continue using the same voltages which are already undervolted and sacrifice on the part of more undervolting???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nechmadi:
with 1.5 there are slow downs on games like temple run brave - it doesn't work smooth.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] djenis:
For me yes! You can use the same voltage for next version.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
Are you realising a new one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
For that change the governor to ondemand... Smartassv2 is a little battery friendly, so performance is less...

Hopefully by tonight...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
How To Use Multiboot:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Uploading v1.6 @2kb/s :banghead: on 2G connection via phone just for you guys :cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
Great battery life!

The only problem I found is in the speed of scrolling: using launcher 7 the scrolling of home and app drawer is too fast while using traditional launcher such as TouchwizUX or ADW you need to swipe a little wider than normal to change screen.

It's a lot like it was with older ics kernels, before official release by Samsung

I'm on 1.5 and no stability issues
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blossom:
Version 1.5 is the best for me so far.

6 hours without charging and still have 76% of battery.

Never happened before :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kally:
Same for me on Miui V4. The scrolling speed is too fast.

Any chance to change this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
Will UV and UC work on 1.6?

Sent from my RootBOX
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Yes, I'll take a look into the scrolling thing :)

Thanks Yim Cheuk On aka ckyi23 for the donation...You go to the Hall Of Fame on the first page ;)

Use BLN Control app from the market...

The kernel doesnt get switched in multiboot...Only system & data gets switched :)

Try using BLN Control App from the market for BLN...As for Vibration, I can confirm the bug, will fix it with the next version :)

Yes, confirmed the problem... :) Fix in next version :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xeigen:
I'm not able to control vibration intensity via settings -> advanced -> haptic

Is it not implemented?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
It needs a fix :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] testicaltroy:
Sorry what I meant was if I was running RootBOX with DarkKnight 1.8 and I wanted to multiboot with PARANOIDANDROID with DarkKnight 1.9. Would that work, or would I have to update RootBOX's DarkKnight kernel to 1.9 so there are running the same DarkKnight version?

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Yeah I have noticed that too, nothing to major though but if you can fix it that would be awesome!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Well basically suppose your are on ROM1 with 1.8 and ROM2 with 1.9, and if you switch from 2 to 1 then your kernel will remain the same i.e. 1.9 only...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] testicaltroy:
Ahh ok thanks for clearing that up.

much appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
You're welcome :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
Another goodwork my friend:)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chana:
I want to clear something about the multiboot things. I now use Turkbey, and already backup to position 1.

if I want to install another rom, do I just install it then backup to position 2? or I need to install v1.9 again first?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Install rom -> Install 1.9(since rom will have its own kernel) -> Backup at Position 2

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Dude, awesome job yet again. Just a few suggestions if i may;

1) Can you include sound tweaks like in fluxi or siyah's (soundgasm). But prefer fluxi's method. Maybe a init.d controllable values if you don't prefer to have an app to control it.

2) Fluxi'x touch sensitivity settings (especially the gingerbread or icskorea one is awesome) to be merged in your rom.

3) phenomenal kernel's internal voltage tweaks. maybe not as extreme, but even a slight tweak, saves a lot of battery. You can read up from phenomenal's post here

4) improve on scrolling lag.

Apart from these thing's all else is spot on. The above suggestions is just some ways to make it more awesome.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jibreil:
+1 to the featured request ^^
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kantjer:
Unfortunately v1.9 didn't fix this for me.

Also with both 1.8 and 1.9 my phone freezes when using certain applications like "Update Me" (even with al voltages raised 50mV)

On top of that my phone was frozen this morning after being on the charger during the night (voltages where left stock after installing 1.9 last night).

For now I'm back to Fluxi, no more freezes until now using apps like "Update Me"

I hope you can fix these issues in the next release, your kernel looks very promising.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Thanks for the feedback... ill try my best :)

Which ROM ?? And also did you use the kernel cleaning script ??

Anyone else facing these problems ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kantjer:
ROM: RootBOX ICS v1.6

I used the Ultimate kernel Cleaning Script v2.6.5 before installing 1.8 (coming from Fluxi) and between the upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9

Forgot to mention in my previous post, also the "keys back-lite" problem is gone when using Fluxi.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Regarding the keys back lite...please hold on... I havent got much time to test the kernel on AOSP base...I'll download latest nightly and fix all problems before next release... is that fine ?? Will take time though... I need to study for my exams :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Yup update me still causes kernel panic upload mode with Slim ICS (AOSP) :crying::crying:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kantjer:
No problem, your exams are far more important. I will wait for the next release and give your kernel an other go.

Good luck with your exams :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Exam on 30th July...So expect atleast one more release before that...unless I screw up very bad in my practice papers :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
It's a update me problem...

My friend got same issue on another rom and on another kernel...

I solved with a fix permission ;)

Sent from my RootBOX
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] testicaltroy:
Yep same here on RootBOX 1.6 with DarkKnight 1.8 but I'm no tech person but I think it might be the actual app, dunno though :)

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Can I suggest a rom? RootBOX once you give it a shot you'll never go back to the one your using now, plus I'm using and it would be awesome if this kernel and RootBOX where made to work with each other :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ludester:
Only problem so far is when I have the phone off and placed on the charger its stuck at the icon that shows the battery but that doesn't disappear
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ipmanwck:
Also using Root Box. Really great Rom and Fluxi was the main kernel now which I have been using but starting to try this one.

Came from RR and have no idea why people love it so much as its so buggy when I tried it ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Ok I'll check out :)

And ok guys, rootbox it is ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] testicaltroy:
Yeah I had the same problem too,, RootBOX 1.6 Kernel v1.8
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ipmanwck:
Its a good choice Root Box will be massive I have no doubt about that.

Give Bajee a shout and I am sure you can work close with him to make the improvements. He included your Kernel in his last update so your getting noticed ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lordgoata:
@Dharam_Maniar, I've done a search for this, but nothing was found so my apologies if this has already been addressed - I wondered if you could add/use this patch from Siyah Kernel 3 to help eliminate the wlan_rx_wake wakelocks that most of the SGS2 kernels appear to suffer from?

https://github.com/gokhanmoral/siyahkernel3/commit/34754c2204b14fc2cbff472a003e2bc273e6cbd1

Thanks for reading, and please ignore me if I am talking jibberish :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Ive already cherry picked that from CM kernel...and merged it with the wifi driver update commit... ;)

And LOL...showing a commit to a kernel developer and asking if its jibberish :p ROFLMAO
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lordgoata:
Ah, excellent :)

I meant if I was talking jibberish - although I understand the concept of patches/commits and the like, I wasn't sure how useful that commit would be to you, namely I wasn't sure how all the codebases on all these kernels are related to each other etc etc. Anyway, enough of my noobness or everyone will start laughing at me :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Don't worry you are making perfect sense ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
@Dharam;

Want to customize a few things using init.d, but cant find the relevant path?? :confused::confused:

1) How do i set gamma -5

2) How do i configure touch screen sensitivity. Cant find the relevant files in "/sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen"

Thanks in advance... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] durangatang:
I always seem to have issues connecting to WiFi and have been since 1.5 I think. Sometimes it takes many tries to connect to my WiFi. I will turn WiFi on and it will connect for a second and then immediately disconnect. I will do this up to 10 times and then I reboot the phone and try again. Sometimes that works, sometimes I have to reboot again. Is this due to the n7000 WiFi drivers? Or maybe my router? I am running latest DK 1.9, NEAT ROM Lite LPG with latest JKAY and latest ICS Domination. Thanks.

Also, vibration is messed. Adjusting the intensity in settings doesn't change anything either. Can barely tell its vibrating on highest intensity haha.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Kernel is flash and use.. ill have to provide the interface for gamma and touch screen...

Wifi drivers were updated to n7000 in 1.9 only...previously it was stock...still if you are facing issues, maybe its the router ??

Vibration issue is known...will be fixed... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Cant we set it using init.d for the time being?? :D:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] durangatang:
Must be the router than because I have had issues for a while now. Thank you for your prompt response.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] muoino:
Hi Dharam,

I'm using your GREAT kernel, but I have one problem: If I use Voltage Control to uv the 1000mhz, then when I exit the voltage control app, my phone will freeze immediately . I don't have that problem if I just uv the other clock values (200-800) and ignore the 1000. I'm using MIUI 2.7.6. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Kernel is already undervolted...

So maybe 1000mhz is best undervolted for you... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] muoino:
Your kernel is already undervolted?

After flashing, I saw that the default voltage of all clock values in your kernel are samsung's default :( , that's mean the default value of 1000mhz I got is 1175. With other kernels my phone can always be stable at 1000mhz-1050mV.

I tried with the minimum uv 25mV for 1000mhz and still freeze. That is weird :(

I will try flashing other ROM to verify this problem :)
