why would you care if you use a cm9/aokp kernel when this post is for darkside's TW kernel and ucle2 based darkside is a samsung tw rom ..

as far as rotation - you have a skyrocket you mean ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
You missed my point man. I was just mentioning different kernels I know aokp/cm9 kernels don't work on tw roms.. also no I don't have a skyrocket. T989.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pluske:
Thanks for developing this. I am running 7/16 nightly with your kernel and badass governor. My battery life was pretty poor - 19hours w/ 1hr screentime. Drained 30% of battery overnight, without using wifi or anything like that. I guess I felt like I should say... But, on the plus side, everything is running smoothly so far as I can tell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] teh_lorax:
I suggest you find out what your rogue app is that is eating the battery!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sllim-kun:
This kernel is working pretty good. Only thing I notice is that when I plug my phone to the computer its recognized as I727 instead of t989... oh well... works great though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dugan1017:
Can anyone confirm that there may be one more updated kernel coming from TDJ? I love this ROM and everything is running great, but now of course, I'm think about looking at his work on the Cyanogen side of life.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with CM9 that might away me one way or the other?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Yes, he's updating this one once more.

Keep in mind that he simply developed a kernel for CM9. The ROM itself is an entirely different build and different feel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sjohnjuan:
Will this work with the 4.0.4 At&t ROM that TDJ has? Forgive me I get the ROMs mixed up since the names are so similar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seshaz:
Don't think so
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defvayne:
It will work with any ROM on the Hercules but not AOKP or CM9.

Looks like he's doing some AOSP work lately. Can't really blame him. His latest ROM and this Kernel are working about 100% for me... 68 hours of battery on my last charge.

I guess if I had one email account going and one widget that updates every so often. I could see it happening with that battery time.

I didn't say those were the only two apps retrieving data. And who said I only had one email account? I have a few funneled through gmail...to save battery...get it? :D You asked if I 'even had data' so i just highlighted a few battery drainers typically. 13 hours is pretty low. You may want to check for unwanted wake locks...unless you have like 6 hours screen time which may be legit. I just can't imagine 30% of my waking day on my phone, but everyone uses their phone differently.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mkamal23:
Yeah i checked out your last post with the image that u had attached and had a few questions if u dont mind sharing. Do you have SetCpu or any other cpu app running and if so what governor are u using and what do u have the max and min set to? Also how much time do u use your phone on a typical day. I love all the work that TDJ has done and I sometimes do get up to 16-20 hrs on mine. So im def already impressed. But with your setup I would be jumping up and down lol. any help would be great. thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DriftorX:
IM usually on my work apps constantly throughout the day for work out in the field. So for me 13 is awesome. I also have a few mails funneled through gmail. I think my major drain comes from,my two exchange server emails constantly pulling mail. If they weren't important I would scale back the time of them. But I need them to pull practically in realtime for mail.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
The only 'CPU app' I have running is ROM Toolbox Pro which I use to set my governor to the 'Badass' setting. I also use the Sleep Script/App floating around in the apps section. That does wonders coupled with TDJ's ROM and Kernel combo. I get that we all have apps poling at high intervals rates, but those shouldn't be using so much CPU/battery especially with the screen off. Badass and Sleep Script will keep those in the 384 range. I believe default for Badass is 1350/384 for the CPU.

It just depends on what you use your phone for, obviously. Regardless, with stock setup I would have had to charge at leaste twice in 68 hours with my normal usage and was very surprised that I didn't charge all weekend.

Yep, that'd do it. Plus since you're 'out in the field' your auto-screen brightness is probably close to max most of the time thus using even more battery. But it never hurts to pull a few battery 'reports' using GSam Battery Monitor app and/or BetterBattery Stats just to check in on what's eating battery. Just checking wake locks and Alarms can sometimes be eye-opening. Sometimes my weather widget gets stuck in awake mode for some reason and I can see that using those apps. I have to stop and restart the app. Things like that make me OCD about my battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
The bln capability is there in the kernel but it sounds like it's not built in on the ROM side. What I do is use SMS popup from the play store. Configure it to control your SMS notifications and also to not wake the screen when a text message is received. Now when you receive a text message bln should work for you. Unfortunately the trade off is that you lose the SMS shortcut on the stock lock screen but if you use the popup it's not a big deal. You'll see what I mean if you try the app

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LBN1:
Faux's kernel 008 is not always on "max" though trying to change speeds thru something like SetCPU may not work. SetCPU appears to incorrectly show the max frequency, even when the max frequency is lowered by a script.

Since this DarksideVenom kernel development seems to have stopped, I recently switched to Faux's kernels and implemented Gideon's script, and it has been running well with better battery life for me. Using an app like Temp-CPU shows me that the frequencies do actually change up and down, on demand.

also I've twice now went to unlock my screen and the unlock pattern is shifted to the right...and only the left bank of unlock keys are visible (this is why I've had to restart the phone 2x today)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djmatt604:
Dumb question :) About to flash this on Telus T989D stock rooted. The OP doesn't say anything about needing to wipe. Any danger in simply flashing the kernel without a wipe? I did clear Cache, but not Dalvik or factory reset since it's not a ROM...any concerns?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
Flash kernel and then flash cache wipe script or if you're running twrp just wipe both caches and fix permissions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djmatt604:
Thanks - I got brave before I got the answer though lol :) I had wiped cache in TWRP and rebooted normally because I couldn't see the ZIP (# in filename didn't get picked up for some reason...just renamed the zip file). Then rebooted back into recovery and flashed without the extra wipe. Seems fine. :)

Now to switch to this badass badass governor!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djmatt604:
Anyone running this kernel on a Telus T989D stock ROM care to provide info on their CPU settings? All I've done is set the badass governor, haven't turned up the juice any yet...and if you are running into issues, what kind of stress are you all placing on the device?

It's quite a bit of work, but worth it and you learn a little something:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=642437

The steps in the link is largely correct, save for the location of adb (it's been moved to another directory; there's a txt file in /tools that points you to the right directory)

Make sure you get the USB drivers here, otherwise the phone wouldn't be recognized in step 4: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T989

As for getting the libakm.so, just download Darkside's T-Mo ROM, unzip and find the file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Primus76:
I did that as per the instructions but I'll do it again to see if it corrects my calling issue. A lot of lag when I accept the call to when it shows the dial pad and also when I press the end button it takes about 5-10 seconds to terminate the call and no audio sent or received at all even with BT device. Again, I'll try the darkside cache to see if that helps.

I'll check that info out thanks! I hope it's not too too bad. We got these at work and everyone hates that there is no light notification so all through the night it vibrates when mail comes in. I'm the one that is playing around to see if we can get bln on them to make them less obnoxious while we are sleeping.

Edit: You mentioned the USB drivers. I had them installed with Kies so I could use ODIN, etc. Would those still be suitable or do I need to grab the ones you mentioned?

Primus, are using using this Kernel on a Cm9 nightly?, like your sig says??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Primus76:
Nah that's my personal phone and it auto uses that when I use XDA on my desktop. My work Telus 989 is rooted with CWM 5.0.7.2 non-touch, was stock kernal and is stock Telus ROM. For work reasons need to keep it stock ROM but wanted BLN for notifications.

TL;DR - no CM on my 989, just stock.

Oh and phone still not working with audio. Going to take an hour to dload the TMOB rom. Have ADB installing but hearing that I can use Super Manager to push the file over sounds a bit easier. I don't mind screwing up my personal phone with CM9 nightlies and have been flashing it for a long time but I hesitate on my work one and have used everything BUT ADB before :)

Anyone have the location for a Telus stock kernal CWM flashable just in case? :)

BLN control pro works on Gmail for me. Give that a try.

I don't have Kies installed so I can't tell you if it works, but you can try step 4 (adb device) and see if a device ID shows up. If you see a device ID you're good to go, but if it doesn't then you need to install the usb driver.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Primus76:
Can you try it? I assume stock rooted Telus ROM? I'm on that now. Everything works great except for phone calls; no audio in or out. Looking for someone to try it using stock ROM to see if it is just me or not. Also looking for a back up of the stock kernel from Telus to reflash or Odin just in case.

Haven't tried the modified Telus Radio Darkside posted on his Telus based ROM yet.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

BLN does work for me on my TouchDown MS Exchange app which is fantastic but not for SMS in the stock app (I am only using BLN Control Free but thought that should work for stock sms?).

Also, I agree with the permissions thing using the apps. Have messed it up a few times so I tried adb. To answer my own question, the drivers that comes with kies work great. The new folder for adb is \platform-tools as you pointed out. Just put the libakm.so in there and adb pushed to /system/lib, adb rebooted and rotation works fantastic.

Just need to fix my actual phone call issue and I'm all set. Waited for Darkside to push Venom out because of his quality :). I know he's busy with normal life so I can hold out and I don't mind testing with him if need be. Thanks Darkside for all your hard work :highfive:.

If I get everything working and push this out to my co-workers phones, can I just include the libakm.so file in the VENOM zip in the /system/lib file for cwm to flash or do I need to adb theirs too?

Sorry for all the questions, but that's how one learns.
