Cool,try it out and then say how it goes :good:

No,I've had those random crashes when using programs like facebook or whatsapp so I'm not sure.

I had no problems when using update me app.

I'm not sure iif it's kernel related,I just posted it here because maybe someone was having the same problem and could help me out.

I did wipe cache and dalvik cache but now that I remember I'm not sure if I fixed permissions.

It hasn't happend for more than 24 hours now and i've been using my phone a lot so maybe it was something else,but If it happens again I will flash it again and this time I'll fix permissions.

@WhoIsJohnGalt1979,

did you install the BLN Services yourself or are you using a ROM with built-in support? As youo can read above, I can only activate the missing calls service via NsTools (lacking other tools, light flow doesnt do anything at all..). So you must have activated the service, but how? As I read other threads, people seem to have the same prob (missing calls are working with BLN, sms not). Is there a CWM script which activates the service for missed sms?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Mate bln is not a rom specific feature, its kernel specific, am just using a self deodexed stock rom using dsixda's kitchen, so since dark knight comes with bln, all u need is an app to activate it, in my case bln pro app that you can download from play store. Incidentally, the bln pro app also comes with a feature to activate missed call service, but to use the same for stock messaging app u have to use a app like sms popup. Btw are u on sammy based rom or aosp/cm9 based?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cybernetus:
Man, I love this kernel.

Under the siyah my phone has only 4, 5 hours of charge. On this kernel I have 10 hours of charge ( medium use ) and my battery was in 50% :)

Amazing.

I will test the version 3.3.3d of Siyah, but I believe this kernel is the best option to use on my phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JethroC:
+1...

I'm also having a similar experience. My screen will freeze although everytime that's happened my music is still playing in the background. I've left it for 30mins+ to see if the screen will start responding again but it doesn't but the music still keeps playing. As mentioned, I've also have to take out the battery to restart the phone. When I do so I'm down 20% battery instantly.

I was on the pegasusq governor when this was happening. I've now ran the kernel cleaning script, re-flashed DarkNight 1.9.2 and have changed governor back to Smartass V2 to see if it's governor specific or if it's the kernel as a whole. I'll report back in a few days if my phone doesn't freeze and sooner if it does :fingers-crossed:

Also...I didn't get this freeze in 1.8 or 1.9
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alex__sp:
Yeah this kernel is amazing I'm loving it I know that siyah has more features and the dual boot is better than this multiboot in my opinion because it's much faster in this one who have to restore the ROM every time you want to use the other one and that takes a while to load.

But battery life is much more important to me than that.And battery life with siyah is not good at all.

Yeah I'm having exactly the same problem,but It didn't happen while listening to music though.

I'm also using pegasusq governor but it also happened when i was using smartass v2.

I also noticed that If you remove your battery as soon as it crashes it will drain less,it's like it's trying to go back and that drains a lot of battery,but it will never make it.

Anyway,it's been more than 1 1/2 days that I haven't had this problem so I'm enjoying it a lot now. :)

Hopefully when the Dharam_Maniar finishes his exams he'll fix the issues :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I'm not on holidays... :(

Its exam... :'(

I so don't wanna study and get back to development but I can't :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alex__sp:
Oh yes I forgot! I got confused with someone else! Sorry!

I'll edit it now.

I know how you are feeling I have to start studying for my finals today and I don't really feel like it :(,but that's the way it is.

Don't worry you just study this can wait.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JethroC:
There's no hurry on this whatsoever. Your exams will help decide your career...this kernel won't :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Olivanov:
This is how it should work, i know.. but it just dosnt. Without Nstools, the Darkknight kernel just dont do anything related to BLN. I tried the siyah kernel but that doesnt work either. There, nothing - relating to BLN - works reliable for me (I know ExTweaks and how to config it). And I prefer Darkknight anyway.

I am on an Sammy Rom (WanamLite) because I need a dualsim adapter and none of the aosp/cm9 ROMs are supporting that.

You must have done sth. which mine phone is lacking.

I dont know dsixda's kitchen but you must have done sth to start the services( messages and missed calls). Without NsTools, BLN is doing nothing at all with Darkknight. In NsTools, I can activate missed calls service only - and that is then reliable working. So is there a link how to insert the liblight (or what it's called) files in ROMs? When I was on GB, I had to add them manually via CWM to get BLN working. But I didnt find anything like that for ICS. Here, it seems to be in the kernels (or not..)

what is with the test in BLN? Are the light working if you turn off the screen? Here, they're not. But this test is obviously not related to missed calls, because mine are working absolutely reliable.

Btw: I noticed that in BLN, when you use the proximity sensor and you hold your finger on it while the lights are on, the phone goes into deepsleep. That is quite good, isnt it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
You know this was the main reason why I wasn't trying to implement BLN...its usually broken and gets a lotta problems...

So now what I would suggest is treat the kernel as without BLN and use it as it is for now...

After my exam, for 2.0, I will completely re-write the BLN part for cypress driver and we will have a proper working BLN :)

Please bear with me till then and please no more complains regarding BLN guys...thanks a lot for understanding :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Olivanov:
Take your time-i am keen on BLN but I will keep this kernel anyway. For now, I will use SMS Popup to remind me with repeating vibrations. I knew that it would "annoy" you asking for that. At least, your kernel is the only one with working missed calls BLN. Siyah's kernel should have it too, but for me at least there is nothing blinking or steady light at all with that kernel. So no complaint, more a compliment.. This kernel here is so much smoother anyway (at least for my usage-profile: I dont play 3d games, never tested a benchmark, just use it as a "laptop substitute" and ..phone. Thats why bln would be so nice..).

Quite happy with the phone.. So I will keep my rom and this kernel and wait. You do your studying and I go on this ship for holidays (I did all my exams a few years ago-sadly not IT-related but just boring taxes)

Good luck!

EDIT: Got itr WORKING!!! Yeah!! DOnt know why-I wiped data, installed everything new and now sms are also blinking. Very nice. Just took a Nandroid Backup. The main reason for the wipe was not BLN, but noise over my car connection-the other person couldnt hear anything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cybernetus:
I had one freeze today.

To try solve this problem, I cleanup the cache and dalvik-cache and fix the permissions of the ROM.

I will test too to see if I will have another freezes.

thanks guys,

You can discuss about the best config's, performance, and any other non-development related queries or topics.

Please feel free to discuss about anything and everything related to Android / Kernels / ROMs... It will be a place where I can gain knowledge from you guys

Based on the discussions, I'll create an FAQ's and Interesting Post's list for everyone's reference.

P.S. we have over 1200 downloads already for 1.9.2...I hope we can cross over 2000 atleast before we release 2.0 after my exams...

I've got plenty of ideas for 2.0...Its gonna be huge :)

Unfortunately I have to report another but I have with the kernel.

I can't use the application Chainfire 3D,it won't run the plug ins and when I try to re install them it will crash and I'm forced to re insert the battery.

Is anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] testicaltroy:
Hey guys I just though I'll let you know that I was on DarkKnight 1.8 with RootBOX 1.6 for about 1 week. And just recently I flash Fluxi (the 2nd best battery kernel according to people) and I must say... The DarkKnight kernel leaves Fluxi for dead!!

With Fluxi I'm getting less than 1 1/4 hours screen on time than I did with DarkKnight, even with a bit of undervolting! The only thing that Fluxi has over DarkKnight is the xxtweak app (not really important) and the swipe to unlock feature which is still in its beta stages.

But truthfully if your running RootBOX this probably the best kernel, not sure if you'll get the same with other roms but its worth a shot.

I just thought I'll drop this message cause it's the least I could do. And well done Dharam_Maniar, can't wait to see what's installed after you finish your exams out :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Issue noted, will be fixed soon :)

Glad you like it :)

I'll see what I can do after my exam... :)

goodluck to your exam mate,

thanks for the kernel, i have just downloaded the kernel and will try it, :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Gimme feedback, whether good or bad... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kroz:
after using it for a couple of minutes, i have one feedback so far, :)

i installed the kernel and also the sensor

followed your instructions in OP (download sensors.zip...up to the last instruction reboot your device)

until the auto brightness was not working anymore, ;)

then i found out that i did not set the right permission rw- r-- r-- on the file i transfered

:) all is working great now, :)

thanks and shall give you further feedback, gonna charge my battery to full to test it, :)

thanks again
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ejebiga:
excuse me for noob question but what tweaker i can use for this kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
None as there isn't one and is meant to be a use as it comes kernel for convenience.

You can however use voltage control for CPU tweaks (I'm sure others work too) and BLN control for...well BLN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
this is the beauty of this kernel no tweaker app just flash ....btw if you want to change governor ot frequenncy u can use set cpu without any problem

I need to change my phone to the 1.8 version of this kernel.

On the last two days I had some Black Screens on my phone ( when I press the power button, my screen don't shows anything ).

And to get more stability I change to the 1.8 version. When the new version is available I will flash again :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alex__sp:
That's really strange,RR is a great rom but hey! that's up to each person! and paranoid android is also a great ROM.

I like RR rom more,I'll probably have paranoid android as a another rom in multibot :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ipmanwck:
Same here with RR it has been really buggy and those who say otherwise are just odd. BUT it is not buggy anymore as thought I would give it one last try. V2.6 is very good. Running it now and having no bugs. ;)

The interface of ParanoidAndroid is amazing and I love that :)

Today my test is the siyah kernel 3.4.1 , to compare the results with the DarkNight 1.8 .

The version 1.9.2 is the best on battery life. I use on my phone and I love on this thing. But I have some problems and change to the version 1.8 .

The version 1.8 is more stable but the battery life isn't good. On my tests ... I flash the siyah kernel today and with basic tweaks I get the same results on this two kernels.

But ... I love DarkNight and your cool recovery. I will flash then new version when it's available for use.

Many ROM are planning to go to Jelly Bean on the next version.

This kernel will be available on Jelly Bean, @Dharam_Maniar ?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
Hi its not a bug its depends how you use your phone try to use it for about 20mins without turning off the screen and you'll see that the android os will come behind the screen time...

Btw its not draining your battery...if you feel something is draining your bat dowbload betterbattery stats it can show you all what you need to see

Maybe i didn't explain myself good.

I copied that file succesfully but after reboot, when I enter into settings:display the "settings" crashed
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] burgess_boy:
No what you have done is correct however you are missing one important step. Once you have moved the file you must set the file permission. This is done in root explorer by long pressing on the file and clicking permissions. Make sure the following are ticked:

Owner: Read, Write

Group: Read

Others: Read

Then Reboot.

Hey guys... I've been with fluxi for some time now and wish to test this kernel (I'm on Rootbox) but I have some questions.

1. Does this work with Rootbox?

2. Do I need to run some script before flashing it?

3. If UV is already implemented on the kernel, should I avoid from further undervolting?

4. Does this kernel come with some app like xxtweaker, extweaks?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LogeshMenon:
1. Yes

2. The usual UKC 2.6.5

3. Yes, better to avoid. Its already stable.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Hey guys, after a lot of thinking, I've decided to part ways with the CheckROM team, for the Galaxy S2 device for now...Since there is no ROM development going on, it doesnt make sense in making a kernel for the team... Dont have anything against GC and Leo...They are great guys and I thank them for the opportunity they had given me...Will love to work with you guys, anytime in the future when we have a common device :)

Since the kernel will be my own, and not a part of the team from the next version, I would like to take up a new name...I am leaving the 'DarkKnight' name for the CheckROM team...

Ok, lets take this as a fresh start... Please suggest me possible names for the kernel and a Jelly Bean based AOSP ROM as well :)

Work on both will start this Tuesday... I will setup a website also for the same, and we will make this project large :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Also have added a poll...Please look into it and vote :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Wow. That was a big surprise, but in my opinion, a good call. Good call because you have respect for the users, otherwise you would just abandon S II for the S III, leave users with lies and false promisses. Nothing against GC and Leo ;)

I'll try to contribute to your projects, sounds promissing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Thanks and yes I will require everyone's help in the project... :)

Also you forgot to suggest names ;)

Remember I need names for the Kernel and 1 for the AOSP/CM10 based Jelly Bean ROM...

The priority for ROM will also be Stability >>> Battery Life >>> Performance... (Since its S2 + Jelly Bean, we dont need to worry about performance ;) )
