Is there any explanation or fix for the issue that "Android OS" seems to drain most battery? It is constantly around 63% in my battery stats...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] melvinchng:
Anyone see this?

It work quite well.. my phone is running at 900mhz... it is very speedy after I run the app... before and after are different

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SaschaHa:
That's only an issue in the accu stats, so there is no drain issue ;) But in future it would be nice if this "stats-issue" will be fixed :victory:

-> Is there any way to get a beta tester for you, pongster? :) I use my phone a lot of hours a day and really want to support you in any way ;) (I've no experience with programming but for beta-testing my knowledge should be enough)

That's only a placebo effect. A lot of users describe in the thread that this app doesn't take effect when being on Gingerbread or higher. As I've understand some users the only thing the app does is to keep I/O on for faster response. But when using a good governer it takes no effect but a higher battery drain. I think the app is only for phones with old governers...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] OpenMinded:
Any way you could share that pegasus rom pongster :)?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] melvinchng:
BTW, I get better battery life with that app on. And it is a lot more responsive.. maybe you can try it out.

I've been running this kernel for the last few weeks with no problems at all. Not one SOD. I was running the pegasusq governor and the sio scheduler.

An hour ago I decided to change the scheduler to deadline, just to see what it was like. Just got my first SOD. Pressed the power button to wake the phone up and that was it.

Changed back to sio now.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SandeepEmekar:
I've also not faced a single SOD yet.

Running on Stock 4.1.2.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SaschaHa:
Tried it... I couldn't see any differences :/
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] melvinchng:
Run your note 2 @ 900mhz

Then install the apk. Check the difference. It shows different on a lower clock device... I use 900mhz as my daily clock speed.

Had a question for you guys. I am using this kernel on wanam lite v2.3 and I love it very fast and responsive. I have noticed that I am getting a bit more than usual battery drain than when I was on sick with normal use which for me is pretty heavy. It had been running out on me within a day which it didn't use to do. I have throttled the phone to 1.4ghz but I wanted to know if there was any other good songs to apply in stweaks to get a bit more battery life out of the phone. I still need the phone to be responsive and also if any body has a good under volt amounts. I am un familiar with the exynos' tolerances.

Phone went to SOD after connecting it to PC via USB. :(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SaschaHa:
Same here, is a kernel-issue. Waiting for a fix :(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] liquidguru:
No problems here connecting to a PC. I connect multiple times every day. What ROM are you on and what governor/scheduler/OC/UV settings are you using? If you are going to report a problem try to give pongster some info so he can look into the problem.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ferraridave:
Looks like pongster is still testing before releasing a fixed kernel, and as other people have said the SOD is happening on default settings or any settings for that matter, so just be patient people, I'm sure pongster won't release it until he's sure it's fixed properly.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SaschaHa:
Is a known issue, I think. I'm on deodexed LL4 Stock, pegasusq and row. No OC/UV.

It works for a few minutes, but when transfering big files it frequently comes to freezes.

Hi, I was wondering what this scoobydoo sound is? I can't seem to find much info to what it actually is?

Is it different to Stweaks? (which i have with Perseus Kernel at the minute) Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SaschaHa:
Scobydoo sound is integrated and can be activated with STweaks. Test it, it is amazing ;) (It simply tweaks your speaker)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tushardoultani:
hi, i searched but couldn't find a solution.

i rooted my phone mainly to swap my memories ie. external to internal

i flashed this kernel on omega 8 and i face random sleep of death issues and have faced it 5 times in the past couple of days.

have to reboot it to make it work.

what to do ?

i have flashed only this mod ext to internal memory, nothing else :/

i dont know whats happening

looking for help :)

thanks in advance

Edit: have not changed any settings, using default which comes with the kernel originally after flashing

This kernel got wakelock too much for me.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] indigotheory:
Cool, thanks. I have the perseus kernel at the minute and that comes with stweaks, and im sure you can do that with stweaks anyway. See the first option for speaker tuning in screenshot below. I was looking to see if there was any added differences etc. Is scoobydoo an app like stweaks but just for audio? Or is it something thats added in with stweaks? Or is it something that kinda runs in the background that you dont really see but think your using it?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] DADER:
I think scoobydoo is a name like beats & dolby :)

And yes from there u can tweak your sound output.

why Sched_MC is reseting to 0 - ??????
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ferraridave:
Read the last 10 (about) pages, and all will be revealed.

Perhaps it's just me, but I can't understand why anyone would install a kernel, or anything else that's flashable, without reading the entire thread for it first, must be hard work ...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Changelog should be up after an hour or so. We've moved from Private Beta to Public Beta. Please expect a release by 10JAN'13 GMT+8 at the latest and GMT+10 at the earliest. In any case, that should be between 8-10 hours from now. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Please check your init.d folder to make sure no other script is resetting it. Works fine here.

Does your network have fast dormancy? Mine doesn't so I disabled it and you can get rid of one of those wakelocks (secril_fd) which shouldn't be there if you don't have fast dormancy available in your network.

Every kernel will always have wakelocks and the other ones on that screenshot are just about what I usually see in most if not all kernels. Head over to the BBS thread and ask over there so they can guide you as to what each of those wakelocks are.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pan466:
if its public beta may I have a link to the file? :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
It's so public its on Facebook and Twitter. I don't think it gets more public than those 2.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pan466:
Thank you pongster i just downloaded it and testing it right now but I have a question

Every kernel i tried on my phone has an up treshold value around 75. I dont get why is that.

May be no one noticed it but there is a huge difference in smoothness between 75 and 40

to reproduce it pls try this:

open rom toolbox and scroll through pages or open whatsapp and scroll up and down in a chat window. Now try those with an up treshold value of 40.

Only with this little pegasusQ edit my note2 becomes smoother than my gnex running 4.2.1 And it doesnt have an impact on battery on my side (im using it this way for 2-3 weeks and tried it with all kernels out there and the result was the same)

so i am really curious about your opinion in this situation...

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] eitama:
Pongster,

Will you be integrating the new lines of code from release 7 into your kernel with regards to the SDS bug?

I can't say I have seen many instances of SDS on the note ii in the forums but it has the same nand with same firmware.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
It will be smoother since you're triggering the scaling up logic when load exceeds 40. You're scaling up at 41 and above instead of 76 and above. If you can make a chart of your experience so others can make a decision based on data, feel free to do so. Since you can easily change it yourself using STweaks, there's no reason to make 40 default. It's set to 75 by default to ensure battery life isn't affected adversely. It will affect battery life.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
It should be there on github as I cherry-picked AndreiLux's latest fix.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Zanr Zij:
Oh I forgot Fast Dormancy. I will test again. Thank you!

Hi pongster, 1st of all, thank you very much for bringing your version of kernel. Very like it and honestly each version is good althougb some old version have some bug but easily fixed by u. I alr on the latest one that downloaded from fb. Din have any error or SOD.

I wonder does this http://xdaforums.com/printthread.php?t=1987032 mod will bring any benefits to this kernel?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Crushader:
@pongster: I dont know if I should post here or the team's fb page. I flashed the new ver 1.0.1 and the wifi stopped working again, same error with authentication just like last time I had with ver 0.9 and 0.10, I reversed back to ver 1.0 and wifi works again. So strange, is the wifi driver changed in the new ver?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] The_Steph:
xcxa23,

As written earlier, I am testing kernel 1.01 as stated in my signature and SOD issues are gone. You may not face them but they were existing. Now they are out, everyone will be happy soon I hope.

As the seeder you refer to was also quoted in a post earlier I tested it in its latest release and unfortunately no wonders, there is a honeymoon/placebo effect at first but after a few hours/days of use, I removed it seeing not visible changes using my phone (may be related to the way I use my phone though).
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] xcxa23:
yup. i know.. have been following this thread since it was created. :laugh: although did not read through whole thread :p i guess i was one of the lucky one without those annoying SOD. dont get me wrong, im not blaming the developer as i understand fully that device and hardware are the same but it does not mean the capability are the same. :laugh:

as for seeder, i gt tried on my old reliable xperia x10 and i can confirm it is nt placebo effect. the op also stated that it works well with older version of android. and of cos i did tried with gn2 and did nt have any noticeable effect but the apps definitely working as it should. just thought pongster should be informed and he might able do something to the kernel :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Yes. Im using the drivers in N8000 source. Some had issues with speed over wifi on the old drivers and will be using these from now on. Maybe you can ask the administrator for a workaround from your end.

Seeder not needed as the bug of entropy being depleted should be addressed by one of the commits included there in github.

Worse GPU performance than before (all previous Redpill-Versions had a better GPU performance than 1.0.1) :(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Interesting. What are you using to test?

Edit: I ask since I play RealRacing and NFL 2013 and don't see any difference from GPU performance vs. Older Versions. I figured I'd have seen a drop in gaming performance in those 2 if GPU performance was not at par with older versions.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
It is the latest, Rev1.01 is.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] fredreve:
Crash with large files.

Version 1.1 is the Galaxy Note 2 crash when transferring large files.

The semaphore timeout period has expired indicates the computer.

This happens only with this kernel. Too bad because it is very good.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SaschaHa:
For now I tested it with Antutu and Quadrant. Especially in Quadrant the 3D scene is very laggy. With older versions it was a lot more fluidy. In games like GTA VC there are a few micro-stutters, but there were also stutters before (with every kernel)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
I didn't check the git, but can you confirm the SDS fix is indeed compiled in 1.01 please?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gtizon:
Hi Pongster. How do I disable fast dormancy as you did? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
This is on 1.01? We tested this with several 3gb+ files and didn't get a freeze. The semaphire timeout has expired showed up on logcat, dmesg or somewhere else?

If its committed on git (redpill branch), then its compiled in the latest kernel.

Use gokhanmoral's FastDormancy App.

I only use real world tests so I wouldn't know how it does on tools like antutu and quadrant. You'll note that I don't even post any benchmark scores and have clearly addressed this on the FAAAQ post in page 1.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SandeepEmekar:
After installing 1.01 I had full wiped my phone.

Still phone goes in SOD while transferring big files via USB.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Really?

How do you reproduce it?

How big are the files being transferred?

How are they being transferred? (USB in CWM or MTP)

If via MTP, is your screen unlocked during the entirety of the transfer?

How long after transfer does the freeze occur?

dmesg or logcat please. I can't fix what's not broken on our test devices. You can't expect anyone to fix anything without more data.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
If you're getting errors transferring large files, are you transferring to or from the Note2?

If you're getting the "semaphore timeout period has expired" error can you try one of the solutions here?

SD Card error

Semaphore error discussion

Can you guys with the issues try running a chkdsk on the sdcard and/or your Hard Drive as I'm not able to reproduce the issue here.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] SandeepEmekar:
I am copying all camera videos from the Note II to my PC via MTP.

They are of 8-10GB in chunk of files.

My screen is locked during entire transfer.

After 2-3 Minutes phone switches off (Sleep of Death) and I have to hold power button for 20-30 seconds to turn it on(Restart it)

I guess Android itself runs Chkdsk on drives and my PC is free from disk errors.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
On my Mac I can't use MTP properly when my screen is locked. Not sure what's happening unless I get a dmesg or last_kmsg. We transferred several GB of files via adb thru usb with no problems.

Do you get a similar "semaphore timeout"?

Can you try the transfer with the screen unlocked and on? (Set the screen timeout to 10 minutes or more) Not sure what's causing the SOD's for you guys.

What are your other I/O related settings?

Can you transfer files in smaller chunks?

SOD when transferring happens consistently after 2-3 minutes?

Get us a dmesg or last_kmsg and post on pastebin.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Without more relevant info, we can only guess what's causing SOD when transferring for some (I can't reproduce it here so I don't know what's up).

Can those with issues try using a tool like ROM Toll Box to change your minfree values? Try setting them to less aggressive values as the transfer process when screen is off could be getting killed by the system. Again this is a stab in the dark as I don't have any info from those with issues.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tainka:
Hello!

I have a problem with 1.01, when I try to transfer a folder with a lot of small files (5 GB of music for example) after a few minutes of transfer the phone goes to SOD and I need to hold the power button for 30 seconds to turn it on again. It was happening in all versions of your kernel. I don't know what causing it. But when I transfer 2 or 3 big files lets say each file about 1 GB ( 3 GB in one transfer) it is OK. Any solution for that?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] fredreve:
I have the same problems described above. Shame ...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Shame I can't get any dmesg or last_kmsg from you with the issues. I can't fix it without more information.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] fredreve:
@Pongster: I do not understand what you're asking. I'm noob! Sorry, be more clear, thank you.

I reinstall the v0.5 (at random) and I try to unlock the screen for 10 minutes.

I just copied a movie (700 MB) on sdcard: OK

I just copied the same movie on ExtSdCard (64 Gb - Fat32): OK

In 2 cases, the screen lock was provided 10 minutes.

I just copied a movie (1.5 Gb) on sdcard: OK

I just copied the same movie on ExtSdCard (64 Gb - Fat32): OK

In 2 cases, the screen was locked from the start.

I wanted to copy a movie (1.5GB) of Note 2 to the PC: FAILED

The screen was on.

With the screen locked from the start, the transfer FAILED.

I do not understand anything. I keep v0.5.

Redpill being very good.

@pongster

Hi mate. Very good job as usual.

Just a question on cpu idle: AFTR+LPA should be default but when I checked stweaks after flashing new 1.01 it was idle +LPA. Is it on purpose or simply my phone made An error?

I think AFTR+LPA should be better.

Thank you.

Edit: also sched_mc was on 0. Maybe the default values are messed up on the new revision? It should be on 2 especially for battery life, right?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] wcypierre:
you can do this at your cmd:

adb dmesg > dmesg.txt

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.txt

or you can use my tool AIOlog to get the dmesg and last_kmsg as well :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Left sched_mc at 0 by default so users can choose what they want. Idle+LPA is probably a bug on my part. Minor correction that may have to wait till the next release. :)

Copying to PC is the only time it fails?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] fredreve:
For the moment, my tests make me say yes.

Hi. 1st of all, I love RedPill :) Great job!!

I'm happy to inform you there are no more SOD for me with 1.01. But...

Thing that bugs me: mmcblk0p13 seems to be mounted twice (see att), and for ex. all things get doubled in galery, media browser, etc. Issue is observed from v1.0, and is not observed on perseus or stock kernel. ROM is Omega 10 (issue exist on Omega 9.1 also). I dumped mount from RedPill 1.01 and Perseus alpha30. Take a look at Redpill dump, last line..

Are you using a separate Ext2Int script?

please upload to pastebin.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Weird. Can you open STweaks and check if Ext2Int is checked and if there are any init.d scripts in your ROM? What ROM are you on? I don't have this behavior here on HyperDroid Pegasus. This happens when Ext2Int is used but no doubling of gallery stuff here too. The last line being mounted to /storage/ExtSdCard shouldn't be there unless you use an Ext2Int script.

pastebin.com so I can check the log without having to download it separately from a file sharing site.

For some reason there was a checkbox on Fat32 as Internal (Stweaks, Misc tab). Check removed, rebooted, issue fixed. YAAY! I was mislead beacuse issue was not present on other kernels.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] GK2020:
First I would like to thank you for the awesome work on the RedPill Kernel, pongster. I have also been experiencing the "Error Copying File or Folder: The semaphore timeout period has expired" error (which locks the phone up and requires a reset) since I switched to RedPill (used versions 0.9, 0.10, 1.00 and now 1.01). I have attached logs from 2 crashes I had when copying a 1GB file (the Omega 10 zip file) from my Note 2 64GB Sandisk SD card to my local C drive using a USB cable (USB debugging is ON, Windows 7 64-bit, Omega 10 firmware on the Note 2). If you need me to test anything please just let me know.

Another thing I noticed on STweaks is that under I/O -> Fsync Control -> "Enable FSync" was unticked by default. I ticked it, but the problem persists. Should I leave it ticked or unticked? Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
It shouldn't be checked by default. It isn't on mine. That's what's weird. :)
