Sorry to break this but I am having low battery life compared to stock kernel..

I am on 3rd charge cycle and have 6 hrs screen on time compared to 8+hrs on stock..

My usage is same..settings are same..no underclocking of cpu done..:(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dreamado:
ohhh no

I have poor reception with this kernel!

signal strength is very weak and sometimes goes away even!!

i have -98 dBm and 7asu????

help please
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Usage varies from day to day, signal strength can go up or down and many other factors. I suggest you check for wakelocks using better battery.

Our hardware is so varied, what with the issues on supposedly identical devices we see, maybe the stock kernel is best for you. What's best for me and others may not be the best for your specific device. I always use what works. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Signal? Are you using the recommended radio for your country/region?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dreamado:
I have not done anything on the radio. where can I check it? or where I can find these radios?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] therockk:
On this kernel you can adjust and change the CPU Governor and IO Scheduler. Why don't you download SetCPU and try adjusting the governor and IO scheduler?

I have gotten amazing battery life / performance with these combinations thus far:

1. Pegasusq / Sio (9 hours screen time)

2. Conservative / Deadline. (10 hours screen time)

And my brightness is set to auto. With WiFi on, everything else off. Except for when I am driving then WiFi off, data on.

Also my CPU Min/Max is 1600 MHz /200 MHz. Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Just backup using CWM the full rom.

Alternatively you can search for the previous kernel in xda forum. In one of the custom kernel thread.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] therockk:
Before you flash any ROM or kernel its always best to make a Nandroid backup through your custom recovery.

Boot into your ClockworkMod - Advanced or Backup - Backup to external SD (or internal SD).

Then once you flash a new kernel or ROM and something happens you can just restore your Nandroid backup back onto the phone (ROM + Kernel).

Anyone have problems transferring via MTP?

I was trying to copy a folder with 644MB of mp3 files from my PC to the phone and it crashed to one of the red and yellow error screens that said

"Kernel Panic Upload Mode"

I had to hold down power to reboot the phone.

I tried twice and got the same problem. The file transfer got to different stages each time.

I reflashed the stock kernel only using the Wannamlite Aroma installer and MTP transfer worked without a problem.

Using Wannalite v1.5

possible fix for camera issues

Dear all (who are having camera issues), can you please try and install the attached zip file through CWM and report back? The idea of using firmware soft flash came from the CyanogenMod team who use this actively on the Galaxy S3, as there were also problems there with the camera.

Please report back whether it works or not. Thanks!

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] liqn7:
Happens sporadically on stock too. Think its to do with the app rather than the kernel.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tuffcheez:
Wonderful kernel on stock, thankyou!

Just one question (or two!) about sound. Does your kernel tweak volume levels or sound quality in any way? I listen to lots of music through good quality in-ear/headphones via poweramp and made custom EQ's to suit.

I'm perceiving changes to both volume and sound, just checking if this kernel should "sound" any different from stock.

Many thanks again for a great job! :good:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Should sound the same as stock. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Thanks nebkat. I've included this in the 3 latest test builds that should go out to the testers soon. I was looking at the same file but couldn't see any differences from the various source files I have access to. Great to have much smarter people in the community. Note 2 users on the ZK camFW are going to be very happy. :)

Hi pongster.

I saw that you have enabled the conservative gov into your kernel, but i am sure u didn't know that the Note2 doesn't use a standalone hotplug driver as it does the S2.

The hotplug is regularly controlled by the pegasusq gov directly, but if you use the conservative one, which doesn't have an embedded hotplug logic, the cores won't be automatically turned on/off according to the load, and they will be stuck at the last pegasusq configuration before it was changed to conservative.

The only way to make it work properly is to enable the stand_hotlplug driver and patch it up to ignore hotplugging while using pegasusq.

So, as it is now, the conservative gov doesn't work as it should (as far as i can see from your kernel sources), and the hotplug logic with it is just broken/missing completely.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] alexandruvlad:
This looks like a wonder project, yet too many people complain about the battery-drain issues - will wait on a future update that might contain some feats on that :D

As for the rest - a donation is in due! :)

Thanks a lot

Really? You're SURE I didn't know this? If you know this for SURE, you must be a real genius.

I'm not sure what you're looking to achieve with the "lecture" but this could have been done via PM like most devs handle it. Unless you meant this post to be a helpful heads up, you come across as if you're posturing to show how smart you are and quite rudely at that. Who knows if the reason for this will reveal itself later down the line.

FYI genius, I know that there is no standalone hotplug driver (which is why pegasusq has its own hotplugging built into its code) and that conservative doesn't work the way it did on the S2. Everything here is experimental and being an early release allows all of us to experiment with making the device work the way we want to. I included it on purpose to see if I (and few others who might find the kernel works for them) could still benefit from the battery savings the conservative governor showed back on my kernel for the S2 despite its inability to hotplug properly. The jury is still out on that as the kernel is barely 4 days from its initial release.

No offence intended in my post at all, and i am NOT a genious, as that info was just a reminder for you to enable standhotplug if you want to make the conservative gov fully working.

But it seems you took it on personal.

I just saw it disabled in your defconfig and wanted to let you know, maybe you forgot to enable it

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to port ColorControl from the Galaxy Nexus?

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/improve-screen-performance-on-the-galaxy-nexus/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1521195

The screen of my Galaxy Note 2 has a heavy greenish cast! And it is not possible to get rid of it without decreasing the quality of the screen (black level gets higher when using apps like "Filter your screen"...

ColorControl was a livesaver on my old Galaxy Nexus, which had the same problem.

If it's not possible I have to return my device :(

Edit:

Here is a comparison between my LCD and my Note 2:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] technonerd92:
Have you tried ScreenAdjuster? It will solve your problem with the tinge.AMOLED screens most of them have this problem. It runs in the background. The only problem with that is that you can't install apps that you have downloaded on the SD card from outside sources while it is enabled. It disables the Install button when you try to install. However you can install once you disable it. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] deezid:
I've tried many apps like "screen adjuster", "Filter your Screen" etc....

But my biggest concern using them is, that they are brightening the blacks and it still doesn't look right (dark grays become magenta then...)

If these apps had something like a black level setting included (which they don't currently), this would be a tiny solution.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] T-Loop:
Yes, I totally hear you. It was the biggest individual thing on my Nexus. I asked the same question earlier and had answer from the man himself :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33765361&postcount=98
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] deezid:
Maybe it is just a simple port - I don't know :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] T-Loop:
Was it Ezekeel who first implemented it or Supercurio? Can't remember. Maybe we need to donate those guys a Note 2 :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] deezid:
I think it was Ezekeel. :)

I would donate to make this real :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] simone201:
Ezekeel for ColorControl and Supercurio for Voodoo ScreenTune

I think btw that there is a way to add a kind of ColorControl to Note2, not the same way as GNexus but it might be quite similar
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] vvsiz:
Great start!

Hi guys, just recently installed the RedPill v0.5, and it is a great start! Everything is working silky smooth and the way I like it.

Definitely, this is one of the kernels to watch and to use (daily). I've been trying to use Perseus as well, various versions, and it felt not that responsive, with visual lags and stutter. Switched to RedPill, and it *does* make a difference, a noticeable difference! Let's see how battery life is though.. :)

Thank you for the great kernel and hoping to see more amazing stuff in the future versions. One of the main pet peeves I have is the color balance and sharpness of the screen. It would be really nice to have some way to adjust those things via some kind of UI, to experiment and to find out the ideal settings.

P.S. Oh, forgot to mention that RedPill works just fine with Omega ROM I use.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] technonerd92:
In that case I suggest you go return your device.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tkbf:
Yes! RedPill do better than LJA stock kernel on my side, like screen response, screen transition fluency and also battery performance.

Excluding kernel change, I have the same environment and useage, the superiority is obvious.

And I don't know if it's RedPill or something else do the trick, LED become very reliable since kernel is changed.

Edit: forgot to mention, I use pegasusq+deadline.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] therockk:
Welcome to the club, i can personally tell you that this kernel makes a huge difference on the Note 2's already brilliant battery! I have found it to give me the best performance and battery life while using the Pegasusq Governor in conjunction with Deadline or Sio IO Scheduler. (Slightly better battery with: Pegasusq & Deadline.) :).

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] T-Loop:
Fantastic to see more Kernel development for our big baby. I was spoiled with Galaxy Nexus and all the fantastic kernels.

One question I have in mind though, Is it possible to add color control for this phone? It was one of the biggest things with Nexus, to tweak the colors right. Now I'm using Sammy's Dynamic setting for display, but it doesn't always adjust the colors correctly.

Thanks for your work, I'm excited! :)
