Best battery life from any kernel on RR for me. Around 3hrs screen time on full brightness YouTube Facebook email camera etc a usual day for me and I had been changing battery on other kernels. Loads of wake locks though. Sorry for posting them all if there is a better way please let me know. Loving this Kernel! Great work mate.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alex__sp:
No I have all my data off(wifi and 3g) when i'm not using it and I know what you mean facebook drains a lot of battery.

But I actually think that it was my mistake because right now it's not draining too much even with WIFI on,so yeah this kernel definitely gives you the best battery life for GS2,much better than siyah.

Besides I still have to let cycle.

:good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] testicaltroy:
Yeah the first cycle is defiantly the worse from 100% to 0% battery i only got about 2 or 3 hours and lots of lag. But but the 3rd cycle it was fast and would last from the morning I unplugged it all the way till the end of night with around 5 1/4 hours screen on time!

So yea this kernels pretty guud!!

With RootBOX 1.6

With DarkKnight 1.8
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Hmmm, when i was using Slim ICS with this kernel, i have no problem whats so ever, but changed my ROM to RootBox, as there was claims of better battery life during screen on, now i'm having problem to turn off my backlight. Basically i don't want to have any light for the soft buttons. It's proving to be so difficult to turn off the backlights.

Any RootBox users with DK 1.9.2 who can help out??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
You can turn it off in system settings > device options > sensors
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Exactly what I did, but right after I lock the screen and return back I'm having the back lights on again. In the settings menu its showing turned off. Arggghhhh....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
hmm do you still have extweaks on there try uninstalling that. I am using 1.9.2 as well and i have no problems with BLN after i unchecked it in device options. Did you use a script cleaner when u in stalled maybe a leftover setting from a previous kernel is preventing it from turning off.

Better Brightness & Gamma

Is it a function which change the screen to weird at night, just like the image in a photographic film.

If yes, can I disable it??:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Ensure i cleaned it all before flashing rom and kernel. Problem persist on rootbox, came back to slim and walla, no problems.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Lol no...thats mdnie negative effect...that can be reverted by pressing the home key 4 times... :)

Better brightness and gamma gives you lower brightness at night and a smoother switching of brightness values in auto brightness :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Try fix permissions or something as I myself tested it on root box and it was working without any problems ;)

Thanks for your reply:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JethroC:
+1...I'm having the exact same problem in Resurrection Remix 2.6 ROM...and previous versions as well with this kernel so I do think it's a problem with this kernel. I've not had it with other kernels

On a side note...my phone has been on for 2 days, 6 hours and 39 minutes. I've only had the screen on for 1 hour and that was for calls and some internet over wifi but I've 46% battery left
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jibreil:
The kernel needs a bit of tweaking with AKOP ROMs I suppose.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Very weird indeed. I cant seem's to be able to make backlight to turn off no matter what i do with dark knight on root box. If i install cm9 kernel on root box, no problems at all.

Very confused. Wipe cache & Dalvik, fix permission, no good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shadowblade330:
yea that is very odd, I had no problem after i moved from fluxi to siyah version d

then i moved to 1.9.2 and had no problems w Backlight
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Hmmm... let's see..for me it works but since it doesn't for many you I'll check out...still I don't think this is a very big issue..will solve it when I next sit to develop after my exam... :)

I had some problems flashing this kernel, I`m on stock ODexed LPG, rooted with LPG CF-Root, and when I flashed 1.9.2 Dark Knight my phone entered Bootloop :S It just doesnt want to boot, after that I had to reFlash it with Siyah and it booted with no problem... Pls help, i really like all of the Dark Knight kernel features, bu unfortunatelly i can`t use it .

Hullo...

I really like the look of this kernel, and would like to flash it through CWM on my I9100...

I currently have Neat Rom XXLPG 2.3.1 with whatever kernel that comes with (CF-Root v5.5 LPG I think), Jkay framework 14.1 and ICS Domination theme 4.6.1.

Would this kernel be compatible with the above, when flashed through CWM?

I know it says in the OP "Samsung ROM + MIUI + AOSP" But I just want to make sure, if anyone can let me know, please?

Thanks! :D

Guess the feature list would again be a Siyah clone, hehe, GM has traversed well across the length and breadth of features that could be accommodated within a kernel for s2. I believe to maintain the sanctity of this kernel, please have features that you would like to have on your phone, hehe, else I can assure you once you have implemented all the new ones, the next posts would be comparison between how they perform in kernel a and kernel b, gut it, hehe, apologies if it rubs on others the wrong way...:fingers-crossed:

On 1.9.2, batt life is good as ever but i noticed that charging takes longer than usual. Did not change nor tweak anything and using normal wall charger, i usually can get a quick charge from 0-5% to 100% under 4hours but now in that time i only get about half as much charge.

I left it to charge while im busy on my comp so its pretty surprising. I thought that my charger spoilt or i did not switched on the power lol.

Edit: maybe its my batt giving up on me but i did try going back to 1.9 and charging was back to normal. Meanwhile i guess i will stick to that version for the time being. Good work nonetheless :)

and this is the best feature of it.

I still have question concerning BLN. Missed calls are working absolutely reliable but I never had any success with sms (I use sms popup). I also tried Light Flow but no success - not even in the test.. The test of BLN also never worked at all, so it must be a test of notifications, because my calls are working fine. Do you think this will work in the future? I can use NoLED but i prefer it with LEDs.

I suppose, I will annoy the dev with the BLN stuff-If I do, I'm sorry.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Howlbeck:
It's an amazing Kernel, really like it.

But not being able to completely switch off BLN with Root Box 1.6 is a big no go as some others mentioned already (you can turn it off, but after the next screen timeout you have to disable it again and so on). Tastes are different and that's a good thing, for me BLN is utterly useless.

As for Amazing Alex mentioned some posts before: I can play it without any problems, too.

Looking forward to your next release, and good luck for your exams !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
SMS Popup works like a charm along with BLN Pro for calls, whatsapp, gmail, email all work fine with bln. Please share your sms popup settings, am sure something is amiss

My Settings: Disable notifications for stock SMS|| Tick Enable SMS Popup||Notifications - Default Notifications - Tick Enable Notifications and Blink LED, everything else no tick||Additional Settings - I have no ticks except for Mark Read......Thats it....This way when you get an SMS, no notification sound, LED blinks immediately...and then if you have JKAY app, you can see the notification once you unlock the screen

f**, where is my post?? anyway: it's not working for me. Is the test in BLN working for you? Also, can it be my ROM (WanamLite)? I have no complaints in BLN regarding liblights. I want my BLN back - I have waited so long to upgrade to ICS and all because of BLN. You have a modded Stock Rom, right? Can I install liblights manually? May this will fix it.

I have exactly your settings but no success. I think, sth is wrong because the bln-test is not working
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
hmmm, an update on the backlight issue with root box for ME.. :D:D

Reflashed RootBox with Fluxi 0.3B1, then set led timeout to never in tweaker app and set backlight on screen to off in settings menu, then flashed dark knight, and what do you know, it works.... :good::good:

But, why so, why i have to set it in fluxi's tweaker app, then all of a sudden, DK is working. I believe the issue is due to the value led_timeout set to -2 by tweaker app, then when flashed DK, the value persists.

Tried setting led_timeout using init.d, seems like RootBox having issue setting the value through init.d. YES, i have downloaded the liberty.cfg and set perm to 644 in RootBox. Nope, doesn't work for me...

Gonna test setting the value through script manager now... :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Crugath:
Right, so I'm running this kernel now. Thanks again to M90 for answering my question earlier.

I have noticed that the kernel sets the max frequency to 1000MHz and the governor to smartassv2. I set the max to 1200MHz and the governor to pegasusq in Rom Toolbox Pro (only app I have on the device that can adjust frequencies etc) and tell that to set on boot, yet when I reboot the device, the kernel default 1000MHz max/smartassv2 is always set.

Is there a way I can get 1200MHz max/pegasusq to stick?

Thanks again :)

EDIT: Forgot to say, otherwise I am liking this kernel a lot, especially BLN! So a big thanks to Dharam_Maniar as well!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
hey mate you can download set cpu from the market ...set it to 1200 and check the set on boot..:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
Dude, i think, the problem with back light is due to value set at led timeout not kept. Value revert's back upon screen off. Also in your next release please try to fix the kernel panic mode with update me app.

Ohhh, another issue is, i and many of the users would prefer a lower DPI such as 182DPI. But with lower DPI, flashing zip in CWM return's assert 7 error. Try to fix that, annoying when u cant flash something, and have to revert the whole kernel just to flash a modem / mod.

For the time being, going back to fluxi... a slight glimmer still exist with fluxi's update today, maybe he will return. But i will keep in view of your kernel, DK is good and has great potential...

BLN Issue: Maybe its in my ROM - I read in the ROM-thread and a few people seem to have exactly my problem (missed calls are working, sms not). When the lights are working for missed calls, it cannot be the kernel, or? Dont know.. will try another rom. Do you have a tip for me? I am looking for a light rom with following features: BLN, deodexed (Jkay capable), CallRec

edit: Tested a bit, reinstalled the rom and the kernel. Without ticking led in NsTools, I have no lights at all. After ticking it, I have LED on missed calls but not on messages. And this is the right behaviour: In NsTools there is a tick only for missed calls. So how can I enable the missed sms at all?

I really like this kernel,it's giving me at least 35 hours of battery and with a medium use.

But unfortunately I've been having random crashes and I'm forced to remove and re-insert the battery,and when I boot again I have at least 20 percent less of battery charge.

It can't be rom related because I wasn't having these crashes with siyah kernel 3.3.3d.

I don't wanna go back to it because I like this kernel more so I hope I can solve this,it hasn't happened for some time now but if it does I'll try reflashing the kernel.
