So far I'm liking darkknight. Try to keep it simple and light.

Screen shot with root box 1,6. Haven't used the phone much today. Dharam see if you can undervolt the screen a bit as I find screen on time quickly kills the battery, didn't have this issue with GB kernals I've used in the past.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ivkos:
Thank you @Dharam for the great kernel! I needed a kernel that runs perfectly with zero configuration and I'm happy I found DarkKnight. Keep up the good work, mate! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ipmanwck:
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

How do I change vibrate intensity and soft lights or can I not ? The soft lights seems to come on randomly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
If you are on ab AOSP/AOKP change them in device settings...

he dharam :)

could you make the govenor-settings configurable via init? i know you don't want that the kernel is too configurable however this would be a great thing :p

Vibration is very slow in v1.9
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I didnt understand you...what governor settings??

Known issue..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Those who feel there is lag in scrolling and smoothness, try out pegasusq governor
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
I thought scrolling was okay, then again I dont even notice if there lag on my scrolling or not unless its really sluggish if the scrolling works then its fine for me. But have you thought about making an app to control Voltages, governors, BLN, vibrations, that would be cool although I know that would take some time. Hopefully in the future you can implement something like that.

+1 to this please
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] takkaros:
On 1.9 and wanam 12.2. I,ve noticed the lowest vibration intencity is increased in comparison with 1.8. Tried to reset it again in settings-sounds but it is too intense for me. I like to have haptic feedback set to minimum as it's not so distructing and perhaps better with the battery. On 1.8 i reached 4 hours and 50 minutes screen on time. Awesome:)

@Dharam

I got my sgs2 about half an hour back:D....i still have stock 2.3.5 rom.....can i flash ur masterpiece over it?

Thanks:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Nope you need 4.0.3 :)

Flash it ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
@Everyone,

Any requests for an app or better multi boot and stuff will be taken care of after 30th of July...Only small releases before that....bug fixes and cherry picks if I feel like..

Sorry but I need to take this break for my exams. Can't screw up this one.... :)

In the mean time, please donate if you like my work...I really need a spare S2 for development...there are over 1500 downloads for each version atleast and plus the kernel is included in ROMs... imagine if each one donates a little, I can provide you better support... :)

Saying that, donating is still optional, and I will continue to develop till I don't break my device :)

Thanks a lot for all the support...

I'm sure together we can do wonders for this excellent phone Samsung had provided :)

Hey, @lyndonguti , where I download or see any information about this dormanx kernel ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I'll check out... :)

That was commit before 1.9 and thats what caused Issue...

Nope...Only ICS...

Hi

Does this N7000 Update3 mmc drivers, disable MMC_CAP_ERASE from the change log mean that there is now no risk of bricking, even when wiping /data and /system from CWM after flashing 4.0.4 LQ5 firmware?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nokia-xxx:
love this kernel.. only the Recharging might have a fault in v1.9. Phone off and charging gives me No Battery indicator / animation.

Is this a kernel error or rom error? I am using latest Rootbox version
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I aint sure and i aint risking ;)

It has been noted and I'll check it out... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
And I'm back to coding... ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Vibration issue is solved...We now can set the vibrator intensity in AOSP ROM's... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
Dharam_Maniar = great man :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Also fixed the power off charging animation and added Jelly Bean charging animation ;)

Since I dont have much time, I'll release this kernel as 1.9.1...Only Bug Fixes to 1.9.1...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] karendar:
Add breathing effect to your kernel and I'm sold. :D

Just one thing... Entropy managed to crack Opensource exynos hal, now both light and compass sensors are working.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rzat:
Good news! Has it been implemented in any of current kernels already?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Just download the latest cm9 nighly, extract the sensors.exynos4.so from /system/lib/hw and replace in your current rom, same location, give permission 755 and ur done.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ckyi23:
Vibration became normal after flashed 1.9.1

However, seems that after wake from the lock screen will cause the vibration problem again,low intensity of vibration .

Sorry for my English, does anybody also face that problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Yup, you are right...

I've missed something...Most probably file permissions or something...

Let me check out...

Sorry for the Mess Up guys...

I'm pulling up 1.9.1 now...

Will see what I can do today :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No, the kernel can overwrite it, but if you install the newest CM nightly and the kernel doesn't overwrite it, then you get a fully working sensor hal.

Edit: this kernel doesn't overwrite, so update to the latest nightly and you will have light sensor + compass working. Credits to Entropy, who cracked the opensource hal.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WhyLen:
is it possible to undervolt with this kernel? currently i've uv'ed -50mv for all values no freezes or sods so far.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
Yep you can but this kernel id already undervolted by itself, so give it a try without touching anything and if you are not satisfied undervolt it ;)

We need new Samsung Source I think...Waiting for them... :)

As for the Configurable Vibrator...Its killing me...If it works on AOSP, it breaks on Samsung, and if it works on Samsung, it breaks on AOSP... :mad::crying:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ivkos:
I'm no kernel dev, but isn't there a way to check whether the phone has AOSP or stock installed? If there is I suppose you can use a conditional statement and make it work on both stock and AOSP. Otherwise you can release 2 versions of your kernel, like simone does for NEAK.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Yes I'm trying the same thing...but I will solve it somehow or the other coz I don't want to release 2 versions of the kernel...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paalkr:
OK, thanks! Hope you crack the vibration issue, even thought it's not important to me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Olivanov:
BLN - How?

Hey Guys,

thank you foe your work. I read about the kernel and gave it a try. Working smooth & fast but how on earth can I activate BLN? I have NsTools installed an bln app. But BLN Pro is complaining "not working"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
You can use BLN Control from the market..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] takkaros:
Ia anybody else facing issues with voodoo louder? Lately mine's not working..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Olivanov:
BLN: right, with the v1.9 it is working. but the vibration is a bit weak. where can i download the v1.9.1? on your hp, i only can find till v1.8..

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I had thought that with 1.9.1 the issue of vibration was solved...but it wasn't and so I pulled it back out...

I'm trying hard to solve the issue...most probably you should get a fix by tomorrow evening I guess... :)

If I don't, I'll re-up the 1.9 which has the vibration issue.... :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
What if I say, "Vibration Issue is resolved, works on both AOSP & Samsung"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] msquared:
I would say " i know you could do this baby!" :cool::cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Olivanov:
good job :-) btw: the bln is working reliable as i can observe. Is it hard to add support for 3rd party sms-apps like sms popup (which i use)??

What i have learned in the 2 days I have ICS installed is that BLN support seems to be a problem everywhere, seems to be a hard nut, what?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] subset:
Where can I download 1.9.1 ?

Thanks,but is there any application like extweaks for this kernel? this kernel looks awesome but is there a way to have extra tweaks?

Nope...Its all pre-customized for the best configuration ;)

Just flash and use :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alex__sp:
:good: I'm sure it is but I'd like to be able to reduce vibration intensity for example.

Anyway I'll give this kernel a try cause many people say they have excellent battery life with it

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
hmm did u check device options? if you are using RR 2.6. Cuz in Rootbox u can change BLN and vibration cuz CM managed to put a fix to it. maybe wes can implement it in future build.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
You can reduce the vibration intensity...

For Samsung ROM's Go to Settings->Sound->Vibration Intensity...

For AOSP Go to the place where you can set the sensors stuff and find out Haptic Feedback Vibration Intensity :)

As for newer version, please let me know all that you want me to implement in this kernel, and I will do it after my exam on 30th July...

I will still reply to question on this thread, but there wont be any more development for 2 weeks.. :)

Sorry for the delay, please bear with me...

Please keep on donating...I'm still saving for a spare S2 or any other smart phone :)

Wish you get excellent results in your exams.:good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ipmanwck:
This result is the best so far for me. Screen has been on maximum as always. Wake locks are a little annoying but I like vibrate on touch and also keyboard.

Loving this kernel on latest RR. Siyah was given me massive drain and before anyone says Siyah is great blah blah blah I have never ever had good results from it but that's my phone and every phone differs. I was getting better results from fluxi but even better from this :)

Many thanks man. I happen to like the simplicity. Why should I have ever to mess with voltage etc then kernel should be good as standard without alterations so with that in mind this is my favourite)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Just thought I'd try out this kernel as everyone keeps talking about it. As a comparison I used it with the settings it came with and tried to play Amazing Alex which is a game I've tried with my ROM's stock kernel and fluxi XX.03. On all kernels the phone freezes but on this one it's the quickest of the three to freeze as don't get more than a minute or 2 of play where with fluxi I had a few levels so about 5 - 10 mins. For all I know it's an issue with the game but that's the only comparison I could make like for like. I personally like kernels that come with all stock levels, cpu, voltage etc so obviously isn't for me but thought I'd try anyway as haven't flashed anything for a little while :)

I also wanted to check what controls this had in place for BLN and in case anyone is interested instead of using an app to control BLN you can simply add an init.d script with the following:

- echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/backlightnotification/enabled

Once other controls are put in place in later releases you can then add them to the init.d script so everything is set on boot like in my one for my ROM's kernel I have breathing, fade, timeout etc all set in the same init.d script.

Will continue reading this thread as I've been doing since initial release as like following development progress.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
There is something else wrong, because just few minutes back I tried the Amazing Alex game, and I played it for like 20-25 mins...Still phone going on without any freezes... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Preliminary view after 5 hours of usage.... am liking it a lot. This time i left all stock, no medling at all. Love it. Super smooth, 0 problems.

Will revert on battery after 3 cycles...

Good job Dharam....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Glad you like it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Thanks, I said the same thing to the ROM's dev (who I beta test for) that there must be an issue somewhere else if it's happening across various kernels. Thanks for confirming :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] takkaros:
I played it as well for about 30 minutes and no issues at all.

As i mentioned earlier when i plug in my headphones and try to raise the volume up, i get a "error when writing data to the hardware interface" toast message from voodoo louder. I guess this is kernel related as i changed nothing on the ROM except adding Jkay framework..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Hmmm that's weird...I havent changed a thing regarding the sound drivers in the kernel :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] takkaros:
Weirded indeed.. i cleared apps data and still was not working. Just did the same and reinstalled the app and now is working fine?? Oh well! Thank god!:) concentrate on your studies my friend. Good luck;)

It's strange but I'm not having great results with the kernel when it comes to battery life :S,I flashed 10 hours ago though it probably needs to settle.

Hopefully it will get as good as it is with others but it's been consuming no less than 9 % per hour and no connections were on,and the only wakelock I had was network stats.

I'll let it cycle anyway.

Its a problem with voodoo louder. It doesnt work with simple clear of data. You need to uninstall and re-install the app. It happens between kernel flashes.
