I just went back to RC2 and Tegrak worked fine again. I don't know what was changed in RC3 but Tegrak is indeed borked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Ah. I saw you asking people to test this for you in the irc, but I never saw anyone answer. Didn't know that this was confirmed to not be an isolated issue. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elprincipejay:
Anyone have any success with miui if so which one did u use cuz I just flashed rc3 borked wifi then flash RC2 and it wouldn't even boot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elprincipejay:
I know someone did it and has it working come onnnnn help a brotha out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
No performance issues under clocking at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] keebler021:
So just to confirm, there's a RC2 and an RC2_5 on goo.im. I'm assuming the RC2_5 is a more recent version, or is there something modified between the two choices?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fabolousrmx:
Dilema.

I'm REALLY loving what i'm reading about this Kernel. I was just on A6 a couple weeks ago but left it for AOKP due to Times incorporatin source so quickly after release. But it's been a bit stagnant since then. I can't seem to make myself leave AOKP dude the the massive amound of custimization options. Can we have the best of both worlds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
RC3 is available via the link in the OP :good:

Running cm9 nightlies 7-17 and this kernel. Is it safe to make a backup or do i need to odin el26?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
The brick bug has been fixed in this kernel, so everything is safe. Theoretically.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] balistic2:
Wifi will not turn on in RC4 Running CM9 nightly 7-17. Dropped back to RC2_5 Wifi works again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Thanks for the feedback! if you look back at post 2, I am maintaining a list of kernels that are confirmed to work, if that will save you aggravation. I am one of many testing them for Chris in the irc, so as soon as something works I'll update!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] genaro12543:
Yea I can confirm that and my 4g keeps disconnecting and going to an "unknown" status
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
4.5 is ready of DL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
4.5 is borked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Same thing is happening to me and when it happens, it borks my 3G data connection also. I have to cycle either airplane mode or the 4G on/off to get data back. I've already tried to flash back to temporary EL29 to update Profile and PRL with no luck. I'm flashing RC4.5 now and I'll update if it fixes the issue or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
This. No wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Multiple random reboots, 4G Unknown issue and no wifi on RC4.5

I'll keep testing to see what else is inop
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
It has been posted a couple of times in this thread that wifi is borked. In 4.5 Chris didn't try to fix anything other than the wifi issue in 4, and we are combing his build log to figure it out. Join us on freenode #ICS-DEV-E4GT for the most up to date info on this kernel, or check post #2 where I update the statuses of Chris's kernel the moment I know something, and I practically live in the channel testing his stuff. You can be sure that it is fast info!

Please test the kernels, but check the thread before posting so that we minimize duplicate information. :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snapback2:
Has anyone made a back up/restore or flash a rom using this recovery? Is it safe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
The recovery is fine. As stated a few times, chris41g patched the kernel, which should eliminate any risk of a super brick regardless of what you flash and how you flash it. So long as you are using a patched source kernel like this one, that is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Taco991:
So this is a confirmed safe recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Correction: confirmed safe kernel!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Exit_Only:
I flashed this kernel on Aokp milestone 6 its very stable and smooth but it borks my wifi. I know the wifi is controlled by the kernel. Any help please :( I love all the governors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snapback2:
Okay thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Please read before posting. Especially post #2, it answers your question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
This is a known issue on certain AOSP builds... Discussed in the first few pages.

Q: Will this kernel work with MIUI?

A: There have been some reports of success, but the same issue lies here as with AOKP. There is no official MIUI for our device,so only builds with a certified AOSP initramfs will work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
This works with CM9 alpha 6 right?

Well thanks! Was just passing info. Hope I didn't step on yer toes

Sent from my awesomely EPIC Phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Nope, no toe stepping. Don't really care. I just want to make everyone aware that rc8 is borked before everyone flashes and complains about it, and that I am keeping that info on an easy to find place. Just letting people know that chris already knows and save them some aggravation. Now if you beat me to it, then hats off to you. :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Silly boy! Chris gets everything perfect! He just let's us along for the ride getting it there. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
That would be nice! Or chris can maintain it himself if he so chooses. The number of duplicate questions have been minimal, so at least my FAQ did its job! The kernel updates are just a little blurb on the bottom, so they probably don't get seen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snapback2:
Hows RC8?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlamian:
Wifi and 4G work, however it reboots after 4G being on for a while or when using wifi tether. Everything else works great :cool:

I was always under the impression voodoo sound was for headphone sound not for the speaker o_O for the speaker I'd use dsp manager or volume+
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N4STYNATE:
Quite the contrary. Asking for voodoo is a valid question. The speaker and audio quality on the SGS2 is terrible.

I was talking to shabby about this a while back and this is what he said regarding implementing voodoo sound and color -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Has anyone tried out RC9 yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Borked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Is RC2.5 still the best option, FranceIs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Yes. Chris is pumping out a lot of test builds, trying to figure out the problems he is having with wifi and recovery. He has no phone and is working off of the feedback of testers, this man is an animal. That being said, I will update my post when anything stable comes around, but if you want to test what he is putting up, feel free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
There is and will never be any voodoo sound on the sgsII. I've asked supercurio myself. He said the chances of it having it are 0.0000000%
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jeffreycat:
Any news on USB OTG/Host Mode Support?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Sorry, certified wasn't the right word. I should have said that the kernel on works on an AOSP ROM built to the same initramfs specs. So far CM9, Chris's AOKP, other Milestone 5 builds, and some MIUI builds seem to be running fine with this kernel.

Thanks for correcting me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] times_infinity:
Its not the ramdisks that are different. Its the boardconfig for his rom. It looks for the WiFi module in a different place. Which is different from the boardconfig for my ROM and every other CM and AOKP built ROM for the Galaxy S2 variants.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
Thanks! Sorry for getting it confused. I was going off of Chris41g's earlier post:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
He does have a way to test; other people! I am one of many who volunteer to test for chris in the IRC. Everyone talking about RC's are just seeing things in his goo. He hasn't publicly released anything other than 2.5. If you don't want to take any risks, then use what he released!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryce850:
People like that is why so many great devs just say screw it... I mean come on none of these guys have to do **** for anyone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
Coming from the 3D forum with plenty of drama. I do not want to see this here as well. Agent, where's your kernel? Please post a link. If not... :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Only way you would brick your phone is if you don't follow directions which seems like you don't there's been plenty of folks letting us know what's going on and you seem to not understand that this kernel doesn't play nice on times aokp rom how bout you try cm9 so you can see the difference because its not rom or kernel issues that your having it seems like its user issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
How about everyone just ignore the ignorant? He's not worth the additional posts...

Chris's work is appreciated by the vast majority here. If his kernel doesn't work for you, move along to something that does. Your presence/comments won't be missed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElephantKiller:
Anyone encountered problems with wimax using RC2.5 with CM9alpha6? It acted very strange for me today. Sometimes it worked normally. Sometimes the icon in the notification bar was grayed out, but I could still turn it on by going through settings. Sometimes it caused an apparent sleep of death and/or reboot (when I turned it completely off everything worked fine, but when it was on an SoD/reboot generally happened every hour). Checked the md5 on both rom and kernel, wiped cache and dalvik before installing.

Just flashed the 7/17 nightly, will see if the same thing happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FranceIsBacon:
I have never heard of a 4g quite like that with this kernel. There is a know 4g issue, but it's not so vulgar. Let us know how it works after you flash the nightly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
Whoever is complaining about this kernel doesn't know what they are missing out on in terms of pure speed and battery life. By combining this kernel, pegasus gov and sio schedular, and tegrak undervolting, i am getting over three hours of screen on time, and great standby battery life, simply amazing.

Thank you Chris!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lemeiux1:
Lol thank God! now we don't have to worry about the thread getting clogged up anymore
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Hate to break it to ya. But about 50% of the stuff you flash hasn't been tested. Technically we are the testers. So if you are worried about that then it may not be the best idea to flash anything. Cause honestly it is just as likely that user error will brick it as it is the file you flashed bricking it. Not being mean or anything like that. Just want you to know the facts.

Still happening with 7/17. 4g was enabled but didn't see a network till I forced a scan manually. Then it rebooted on waking twice within ten minutes when 4g was connected (and functioning).

Latest stable is 2.5. As far as what's been fixed, I updated post 2 with some updates. Recovery is fixed, wifi is close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rooster85:
Couple things I've noticed about 2.5... this thing charges fast as **** but also dies fast as ****. Seems there is a charging problem because if I'm doing anything at all while I'm on charge the battery dies rather than charge. Everything elastic seems to be fine as far as I can tell.

Let it cycle a couple of times. Let it die then charge to 100 uninterrupted. Charging while off when you let it die the first time will help get things calibrated, too.

Decided to wipe data last night for Nightly 7-21 and go back and try 2_5 again. Working better than it was.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Honestly. I try to charge my phone as often as I possibly can. Makes the battery last longer in terms of years and months not using the phone wise.

Also another thing I have noticed. Make sure you are using a 1amp charger. I had an old blackberry charger I was using cause it had a longer cord. It is a .7 amp charger. I have noticed my better dies quicker when I charge my phone using that charger. It charges at the same voltage just lower amps. When I use the stock charger the battery dies a little slower. It might just be me. I was always under the impression that a slower charge was better for the phone. Apparently that may not always be the case.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
You are correct about preserving the battery's life cycles. Charge as often as possible. But I don't completely agree with your battery discharging faster because of the charger. Regardless of how slow/fast it charges your battery, this dissipation of it is based on the battery's max capacity and usage. Both chargers will still get you to 100% fully charged.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
See this was my thinking as well. I mean current is current and regardless of how fast or whatever it charges. It should still charge to same mah level. I'm not certain that it is actually making a difference or not. It just seems like it is. But anyone who has done this stuff long enough knows that perception can be distorted by many factors the number one being the user themselves. It would require me to actually record mah levels and repeating the exact same task on each charge and so on and that's not something I would be able to do. So until then I do agree with you cause facts are facts. But still makes me scratch my head when it happens. But it could be I get better signal that day or any of the hundreds of little things they effect these phones performance
