@ardatdat tyt mate, auto brightness works great for me and about sod maybe I doubt its kernel prob I was using unknownzd and ur 7 kernel for long time and never faced such thing but after I flashed this my phone vent in sod for 2 times till now, from past day its working fine. Will update if find any other prob.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Yeah auto brightness rocks and the display reacts much better when wet..

Thx ardatdat

I am facing the sleep of death problem when i hang up on a call while the phone is still on my ear(that is the screen is off due to proximity sensor).

the phone refuses to wake up...

lag

My Touchwiz launcher lags when i installed this v1.8.1

How to install this? What i did was,

1. Wipe factory/data and cache

2. Flashed ZSLE6 via odin

3. flashed CWM

4. Flashed v1.8.1

5. 15min of use no lags or whatsoever

6. after 15min it lags. Stock kernel is better for me.

What am i gonna do?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Try his previous kernels v1.7 / 1.6 & check how it works out for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] khpatel4991:
Thanks ardatdat...Best kernel ever as touch had improved to utmost quality..I thought our capacitive touch had inbuilt hardware problem of getting stuck in moisture or even when hands are a bit sweaty, now do such problem...thanks thanks and continue the good work...May be you should add oc as playing even 720p mkv in sw decoding causes lag, which can be fixed by oc..:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
Please please read the original post before posting....

He's mentioned that he will make an oc version of the kernel later on... Just be patient.. :)

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] masual:
Im using it since yesterday, no problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
Yes.. there is a slight downside of battery life taking a hit.. but the touch response and the brightness increase are super cool.. and am going to stick with it..

Thanks ardatdat....for your continuing efforts on the art of perfecting SGR kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
@pudup, i was talking about this version 1.8.x v/s the zsle6 stock kernel. battery running stock kernel lasted roughly 2 days for me.. with basic activities including some wifi..:-); with this kernel, it comes exactly a day..and i am down to 25% and less.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Using XWLA4 here and 1.8.1 gives me more battery running time than 1.6 and 1.7.2b... with the same use.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] tallyx:
I've made a lot of benchmarks with almost every mod and kernel, I spent a whole day and the results, in summary, are that ardatdat 1.8 is the fastest and more stable.

If you want I can post the numbers, I think I saved some of them.

About the battery, I think that it depends more on the ROM version that on the kernel. ZLSE6 is more power hungry in general.

And about SoD, at the beginning I also thought that it was a kernel problem, but it must be some other thing, maybe a combination. As I said before, I tried lots of combinations between mods, roms and kernels, and some of them caused SoD and others not, I haven't spot the factors but they must exist.

Thanks ardatdat for the best kernels for our machines.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Nice analysis, yeah maybe there are combinations which r causing sod. Here I noticed something.

Titanium v2.1+this kernel, 2 days usage. No sod at all.

Neo rom 2.1+this kernel, 3 days usage, sod for 2 times in those 3 days.

Battery backup is normal, neo is batter hungry than titanium because of its base build.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
I too noticed that using neo rom and 1.8 kernel, the CPU goes to full clock for longer period of time in the same type of usage as compared to titanium v2.1 with 1.6 or 1.7 kernel... So I'm sure neo rom's base is more power hungry..

I have way more cpu usage in the background even when I leave the phone on overnight with wifi and data off, leading to more battery consumption..

From my galaxy R
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pankaj88:
So I think I need to change base build to XWLA4 then.

wait let me recover, then will start working on Neo Rom with base XWLA4.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ardatdat:
Here I back from trip.

Very nice to have a detailed benchmark on the kernel. Actually, I think most of the SOD is caused from ROM + Software being installed. In the kernel point of view, I really could not do much on that and I believe Android 4.0+ should fix this problem. Let's wait for that.

So, I will start to work on the OC part tomorrow and will update the progress v. soon if everything's smooth :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Its ok but, please, take a look for a while to the touch issue:

- unlocking screen with pattern

- using swype to write

When you "pass" the finger, it seems to "boot" over the display, specially using the index finger, not so much with the big finger but it happens too. I detected it happens more times under the sun light.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
I get the same problem for lock screen, although swype is working great for me. On the lock screen, I have to apply more pressure than normal touch.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Normally, it's true and I need to make a little more pressure, but I can't see it as a problem; but trying to unlock the screen with the index finger under a sunny day, seems impossible for me, and it's hard to unlock it even with the big finger.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Sputnik.:
Thank you, this is awesome! It works almost perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
I would like to report a bug which I'm only experiencing randomly.

I'm on neo v2.1 with ardatdat 1.8.1 kernel

At times the screen brightness will go to full on its own. This usually happens when I'm about to scroll or while scrolling, but it doesn't happen every time. It just happens once in a few days.

Brightness setting is manually set to the lowest and auto brightness is off

Anyone else experiencing similar??

From my galaxy R
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
this not only happening with neo rom but i have faced it on stock xwla4, titanium v2.1 and infected rom also with ardatdat's this and old kernels also. but this doesnt cause any problem as this thing only happens very few times a month and thats y i still havent reported it :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
This problem is with the interfacing of the sensors... At times my sensors dont work with several kernels like ardadat's ones, unknownzd's one... But.. I am not too much bothered with this seldom issue....

I started facing this problem from using zsle6 stock rom on my Indian one....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
buddy with this kernel sensors works fine with both xwla4 and zsle5/6 builds.

i have tested personally ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
@ardatdat, wkpark have ported 3.x kernel to tegra platform. can u use this sources and port it to SGR?

https://github.com/wkpark/tegra-linux-3.0.y

(i have PMed many lg2x devs and wkpark also but those guys are not interested in our device)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
I finally ended up with a conclusion that. With increase in moisture or darkness the sensors respond improperly. But, when I again use it outside my room in a higher temp and brighter place.. They start working again...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
I am now back to stock indian rom. So cant test... But I was talking abt the ambience and proximity sensors....

The light sensor shows huge numbers at times and no proximity works...when I switched to this kernel with neo 2.1....this was at certain boots only...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nRoof:
More info on multi touch issue:

As for the double touch, both touch points disappears when are located at the same horizontal or vertical line, and when the device lies on the table or any other surface like that, and you touching only the screen. Also, screen is not always responsive even on single touch.

But when you keep your fingers on the metal back of the phone, single and multi touch works perfectly.

I've compared 1.8.1 with stock XWKG7 kernel, and found that it behaves better than 1.8.1 when metal backplate is not touched. When both points are on the same line, one of the points automatically moves outside of the line. And no problems with single touch on stock.

Yes, it's working fine when charger or USB cable is connected, but only 5 points max. Maybe device has several profiles for touch screen, e.g. one when on battery, and another for charging, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] fongkit82:
working fine. brightness juz right. no overheating or battery draining issue for me. no SOD as well so far. thanks~
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] krobar77:
thanks for newer version kernel ..ardatdat..

my rom is DKK5, previously running yours 1.6b2 with no errors at all.

then last night tested ur new 1.8.. 10 multitouch detected.. but I found out less responsive or too responsive.. hard to type single handed.

previous kernel ok. so I revert back to 1.7b2

and one more thing how to test Voodoo sound enhancement?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
To test voodoo thing, just plug in ur earbuds and play anything. After what u will hear u will understand what is voodoo power :D.

Btw if u r using voodoo kernel than u can tweak DAC settings using this app.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] esteras:
Thanks a lot for your work ardatdat,

I have some touch problems (randomly), overalls when the phone is over a table (horitzontal position). Some touchs fails. Works better for me the last version 1.7b2. Please go on with this improvement, good work!

My ROM is based on XWLA4.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] krobar77:
thanks for the info...

so meaning our SGR got Wolfson Microelectronics WM8994? or we r just simulating the Voodoo codec?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':

Yup the world's best DAC, even s3 doesn't have it :p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] esteras:
Moreover I feel that last kernel (1.7b2) is better on battery duration (always without overclock modifications).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ardatdat:
v1.8.2 is ready for testing. As I am still enhancing it, I will leave it as a private beta to all having problems with v1.8.1.

This v1.8.2 should have fixed the touch screen problem (because I revert it back to 5 points multi-touch) and it is OC to 1.3G

Please leave a message to me if you want to test the newest kernel. Thanks :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] emanoj.i9103:

Testing 1.8.2 beta for a few hours...

Swyping is really good now. More accuracy typing and touching, and better feeling passing the fingers over the screen.

Let's see if there are no SOD... I had a few SODs with 1.8.1 (but less than with 1.7 and 1.6. But it's difficult to check it because it happens from time to time: maybe 3, 4, 6, or 8 days between SODs.

I'll no test PC because I don't like/need to do it :-P

Now that's scary I hope it wasn't a ghost & you are safe. :p

That has been a known problem if there's moisture on the screen or if your hands were even a little bit wet.

I don't think the kernel alone could be the cause of that problem you should recheck by using it again if possible for some more time to be sure. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KnockNuckle:
Lol the R ghost

I know the moisture problem i cleaned the display many times but the ghost dont screwed up..

Tested touch panel on 1.8.2 beta.

When metallic inlay on back panel isn't touched, 2 or more touches are now working like on stock XWKG7 kernel, i.e more adequately than on 1.8.1 :).

Unfortunately, when there's moisture on the screen, touch panel with 1.8.2 performs worse than with 1.8.1.

One quick query, We have RAM hacks thereby increasing the available RAM from 724 Mb to say about 900 MB, i hope this doesn't affect the GPU performance as this additional RAM was supposedly used by GPU. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ardatdat:

Kernel 1.8.3 working successful

No sods or any trouble so far.

The sensors and camera and calls working fine.

Due to increased ram (880mb) which i think is done by decreasing the graphics memory share a bit hasn't affected the graphics so far and the graphics is as good it was earlier.But battery does drains a little faster but it's due to an overclock of 1320mhz.

But otherwise everything works fine.

Next review 24 hours later.
