Didn't work for me

NO I dont think so. I Tryed flashing the Aroma clean rom not animation zip this morning and it didn't work. I really like this kernel. Battery life is amazing. Even without under volting. But I haven't really researched how to bypass so as far as I know you might just have to live with the stock Samsung boot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
I have tried the normal bootanimation.zip and it does not take it so I will say no, it does not support them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I'm not on clean Rom, but yes I can confirm that boot animations work... with the newest kernel release!! :D

Thank you very much for your response. Is there anyone actually use custom boot animation with Perseus Kernel? I read the description about this kernel but did not say anything about boot animation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] brittoking:
I use the boot animations. On clean Rom 4.9. No issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimaginet:
Perfect! Thank you!

So I will have to flash the CleanRom ACE 4.9 and select custom boot animation first then right after that install Perseus kernel 36.3.? It should work, yeah?

Correct sir.

Can someone tell me which settings I need to change in power tab of STweaks so that my 2.1 amp car charger does not overheat my phone when charging in my car.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xtreampctek:
After I wiped my phone and saw Note2Core was removed on the forum, I switched back to the Perseus kernel and I do have to say I am still impressed with the amazing battery life I get from this kernel, easily 30% better than Note2Core even with UV. Posted a little screenshot to show just what I'm talking about, and most of the battery life went towards voice calls to even prove how well this kernel manages battery life.

Keep up the awesome work! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimaginet:
Very good! how did you set the under voltage on the phone. I tried so many time but not work for me. Once time I thought I got it. Play game, Internet for hours. .. without any issue. But as soon my note 2 when sleep. It crashed. Can not wake up I have to remove battery out to restart. Do you have any idea.

My settings is:

1800ghz, 733ghz gpu and the lowest voltage is @ 200ghz 700000.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jethro650:
Your lowest voltage is too low...raise it up some and try again. The cpu isnt getting enough power to pull I you phone out of deep sleep.

I use Profile 4 for automatically setting my voltages in STweaks from this post:

Profile 5 had the lowest but proved to be a bit unstable for my device, like they say all CPU are not created equal.

But it is as jethro650 says, your 200MHz voltage is too low, mine is set to 762500 in STweaks and that seems very stable though you can probably do some testing and get it between 700000 and 762500.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimaginet:
Actually I use profile #5. Because I didn't see much battery improvement so I decided to tweak it even further. Each line I slided down just a tiny bit. I did that about 3 time. At this point it still very stable. Here is the setting.

Stuck in a bootloop, need Odin Flashable Stock Kernel!

Hello and thanks for this GREAT kernel...

Unfortunately after trying several CPU overclock and undervolt settings using stweaks, apparently with success after applying, I decided to tick box to make it start at boot, rebooted... and it never went past the "Galaxy Note 2" screen.

If I understand correctly, the perseus kernel is packaged into the boot.img that is inside the TAR package. Could I replace the perseus kernel with the stock kernel therefore bypassing any profiles, using the boot.img included in the TAR package of my sock ROM? I would like to avoid wiping and reloading everything, and I don't have CWM installed (just Odin on my PC), so I would need the TAR of the stock kernel. The phone seems to be willing to get into recovery mode, so I am assuming I should be able to use Odin in the normal manner.

As this is my only phone, I'm kind of desperate for help ;)

If you can boot your phone in to recovery then flash the UncheckSetOnBoot.zip you can download it here.

I had the same problem and this method work for me. Try it or wait for a response from XAD developers.

Here's another option. Keep a copy of Saber kernel on your sd card. Flash it = up and running.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Yes but that would require you to edit all settings again when you reflashed this kernel, the other option just unchecks one box...

My option is just to help you boot in order to download the "uncheck on boot" file if ur out and about.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Thanks, folks! After some sleep the world always seems to be a better place :)

Since I'm new to this, can you quickly tell em how to put this file on the phone? I do have an external SD Card that I could copy the file to from my PC. I have no idea how to put it on the Internal SdCard. I thought I needed CWM installed in the first place to be able to flash a zip? I only have Odin on the PC.

Good idea; I presume it's sufficiebntly close to stock to let me run my apps normally so I can edit the profile by hand. Could the Adam kernel do too? I Already have it in a TAR that I can load from Odin...

***

If I could actually access the file system from a command line it would all be OK, I'd simple replace "CONTROLSWITCH_CPU=on" to OFF in the profile and be done with it, I have no problem going into command line, I've been hacking since the days of the PDP-11, but have no experience at all with Linux/Android.

Keep 'em coming guys and if this is not the place, mods, don't be shy. I just thought it was an appropriate place, maybe add some instructions for easy reversal to stock kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Can't flash a zip from stock recovery?

So I copied the ZIP manually on the SD card, went into recovery and get "signature verification failed". I presume that's because I'm using the stock recovery? Where can I find an Odin flashable custom recovery for my 4.1.2 Note 2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimaginet:
Have you try pull out the battery reboot that way.

Are you using custom rom or stock.?

Ok you can use Odin to install CWM.

You can find how to install on youtube .

Thanks, Man for your help!

Stock rooted with Perseus kernel flashed through Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Thanks, Man, that's what I ended up doing... Looking it up I found the version of CWM for the i317m from pilotboyshorty

Once in CWM I flashed the bootloop fix from gundal

And now I'm back to normal with CWM installed ;)

I'm still at a loss about WHY it bootlooped in the first place... It never crashed when I applied the CPU and voltage settings in stweaks. I thought that applying those tweaks would do its stuff immediately and as long as I didn't select "apply at boot" it would revert to default upon a reboot if a problem happened. Obviously stweaks doesn't work that way :mad:

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Didn't need to do that but it would be nice to know if that's a simple matter of extracting the boot.img from the stock rom and tar it up ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimaginet:
Same here played game test it with quadrant for hours no problem. But when it sleep It could not weak up.

If you flash UncheckSetOnBoot.zip it only removes the set on boot. But if you flash profile#1 I think is will reset to default. anyway you can reset to default by go to STweaks/Extra/set default.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
I was able to get some good Antutu results, but only when I checked "overclock" and "performance governor" and no crashing, yet checking the same profile to start on boot resulted in a boot loop. Go figure!

I wish gokhanmoral (stweaks) and AndreiLux (perseus kernel) would be able to explain this in better terms. As much as I appreciate their work, the settings are very obscure at times and the way they operate is, I find, quite counter-intuitive: changing settings on the fly should give immediate results

for the session only

so that a lock-up condition won't be written to the working profile, and that profile should only be saved at user request once it has been found to be stable, instead of being saved immediately as the parameters are applied, making it impossible to avoid problems upon reboot should these parameters have caused a lock-up, as it does now.

Or am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chousayz:
Hey guys, I was just wondering if you guys are getting better battery life with this kernel over the stock cleanrom ACE 4.9 MC3 kernel or is it still a B6 Im not sure.

Thanks in advance fellas and dont grill me =) lol

I did do a search for the forum and so far the battery life looks about the same, just trying to get a little more input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tiffany84:
I'd say the battery life is just as good as the stock kernel but then you add all the extra features that this kernel brings and it's a no brainer for me to run this over stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Using the stock settings on the kernel, as measured with identical phone settings (low power mode, no wifi, no gps, phone radio on at a -90 dBm signal level, no apps running in the background and after a reboot) I would also say it's about the same.

In this "miser" mode (phone operational but in standby), I get 1% drop (100% to 99%) in 10 hours or so on my Note 2.

In any case being able to charge on average 33% faster with the stock charger and about 40% faster using my car charger using the "ignore unstable power" setting in the kernel is for me enough of a benefit to be running it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Uncheck set on boot until you're sure of your changes...

Or flash the uncheck set on boot zip file in recovery if a boot loop occurs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Thanks for your reply, crixley, your input is highly valued! I really wish I could get this working right...

Yes, but WHY should it work fine when I apply the settings in stweaks while the phone is running, then fail when running them upon boot?

Furthermore, WHY does using a profile with overclocking and applying it NOT result in immediate improvements in the tests, but only when I manually select "overclocking" and "performance" governor in Antutu?

Shouldn't these tests have caused a crash if they are causing it at boot?

In other words... My experience using Antutu seems to indicate that stweaks does NOT actually overclock and undervolt the CPU and GPU on the fly, but simply ALLOWS software such as Antutu to ALLOW overclocking and test some of these settings.

Am I correct to understand stweaks applies these settings for the whole phone only after I set them to be enabled on boot, and that the bootloop probably came from undervolting at the low CPU clock the phone would presumably be working at when booting, a situation which would typically NOT be tested in Antutu?

Like I said:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mzimmer88:
This kernel is great, but somehow it removes the ability of my car stereo to read and respond to text messages. Oh well, I guess that's the tradeoff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
it could be because it isn't supply enough current to the chip to allow it to boot up, though once booted it can maintain at those lower levels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chousayz:
Thanks for the input on the battery life question! much appreciated!!

I spammed both thanks button already:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Thanks for your input, that's my explanation as well. But what I still don't understand is when I apply my performance settings (without checking to apply them on boot), there is no change in the benchmark tests and the phone doesn't feel any different. Shouldn't applying the settings make it perform better right away? What is your experience?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] speghead:
Thanks for the tip man. Ignore unstable power bumped my charge current from 1000 to 2000! Question what car charger are you using that actually charges faster than stock charger?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
The car charger doesn't actually charge faster than the OEM charger. But it's pretty close if not identical. In other words, the charging rate is approximately 40 percent or so per hour. Here is a screenshot of my latest test.View attachment 1992977

The charger I'm using is a Griffin 2 port clone rated at 2.1 amps but I got on eBay for a dollar fifty including shipping. Got six of them, one was defective and I destroyed another one making experiments ;)

This is a test result from the best of the bunch. The other ones are perhaps something like 15 ~20 percent less, but I'm still very happy since they used to produce something like 800 mA before.

I wonder what makes charging with this kernel work fine on some phones and terrible on others? And in my case it seems like it requires reflash both rom and kernel before it start working as it should.

Right now I'm using ClearROM 4.9 with latest Perseus and it requires 24 hours to charge the phone...

[EDIT]

Wow this is embarrassing, I had my usb cable partially plugged into wall charger, phone detected it as usb charger
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Even on a usb charger mine doesn't take longer than a couple hours
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
Another thing I discovered: some current settings with high figures can actually cause charging to revert to a trickle. In stweaks I had in one test tried 1800mA for the first and 2100mA for the second figure and got sub-USB charging rates on the OEM charger ;). Reversed it to 2000mA and 1850 and it's back to high 1400+mA average charging rates.

But yeah, sometimes we completely ignore the obvious (like a bad cable/connection) ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] V@no:
Are you suggesting the default power values should be changed?

The only thing I change using stweaks is the volume (actually audio is the only feature I install this kernel for).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
You would only twiddle with the power if your charger has unstable power, causing the phone to reduce charging rate to a much lower rate. So the first thing you would do is to "ignore unstable power", that lifts all restrictions from the phone end, pushing the charger to pump up as much juice as the phone requires.

Of course, doing so you might overheat the charger: Today it was over 30 degrees Celsius and my car charger overheated and went into thermal shutdown a few times. Reducing maximum allowed current from 1800 to 1400 reduced the cycling a bit.

I'm still in the process of testing it out. As it's going to be hot tomorrow again, I'm going to reduce it to something like 1200 milliamps and see how it goes.

The chargers I'm testing are the Griffin clones that are available on eBay for a buck fifty. They're really compact, they are cheap, they produce a decent amount of power but obviously they tend to over heat when the kernel is set to ignore unstable power using stweaks. Without this mod, they will pump something like 800 to a 1000 mA (they are rated at 2.1 amps).

I opened a couple up and found out that the IC controlling the output power has a tendency to get hot, and it doesn't have a heat sink. Trouble is, its going to be difficult to install a heat sink in such a small package. In any case this is just me trying to get the best out of it, as if I had nothing else to do :eek: As a matter of fact, I found the IC to be actually quite robust: it will work up to 162F degrees before going into thermal shutdown mode.

Ventilation of the charger housing may help...

A series of small holes should provide a significant temperature reduction. .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
So it was a hot and muggy day today as well so with the charging set for 2000ma total, 1800ma charging, got 6-8 on-off cycles charging over 30 minutes and got a 40% per hour charging rate.

So I dropped it to 1300mA total and 1200mA charging and the charging went 40% as well, but NO thermal shutdowns... 40% per hour corresponds to the OEM charging rate of 2.5 hours total, so I know this is just about right.

I am testing 1400mA total and 1300mA charging now and we'll see how it goes (I'll edit this post)

--> Test results indicate a charging rate of 37%, but I did notice it was slow to start charging for some reason. Once started it was closer to 40%.

I'm going to discharge the battery a bit running antutu tests then run some more tests at that 1400/1300 setting, then revert to 1300/1200 and see how it goes.

We've had a thunderstorm and the temps have dropped a couple of degrees, it's starting to be more comfortable. It could change the next test results ;)

--> Further test results indicate a charging rate of 40% over one hour at 1400/1300, exactly like OEM. I'm on my second hour now... No overheating, no wild current cycling. It's actually pretty stable now :)

When I'm done I'll study the Battery Monitor Widget curves and see what they can reveal about the perseus stweaks power settings...

Agreed, but I'd need to find a way to push some air through the cigarette lighter housing ;).

Already though of that, but I can't feel any air getting out of the cigarette lighter socket, and there isn't any in my 4 socket adapter either, but I think I could install a small computer fan into the case ;)

That being said, it's hot here only 3 weeks a year... Most of the time its average to cool (in the mountains north of Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Besides, it would seem that lowering the charge amps in stweaks should maintain the charging chip cool, without significantly reducing charging speed. I'm just about ready to check it now ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] systoxity:
screen seems darker to me now too, is it just in my head?

p.s. Any chance us mhl users could get an option to force 720p 60hz output when mirroring? Currently using MHL with a 1080p tv forces output at 1080p and 30hz. also the extra processing introduces considerable input lag. The folks with htc one's figured out a kernel tweak which forced 720p at 60 hz and this took care of their input lag while also increasing refresh rate.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
So I rigged up a 12V fan from my computer parts stash and got air blowing across the IC, and it got cool to the touch. I did the same thing with my OEM charger, sawing off the top. But guess what: it doesn't charge any faster than when I set the current at 1300mA! It would therefore seem we just can't charge it any faster than an average of about 1300-1400mA (which for the 3100mA battery corresponds to the published charging time of 2.5 hours), and that this is in fact the regulation limit of the battery protection chip itself :cool:

I haven't done extensive testing, but this is enough to convince me that even if we can gain substantial improvements by setting power in stweaks to "ignore unstable power" (at the cost of risking overheating of the charger), we are still limited by the battery protection chip itself, which appears to corresponds to its published charging time of 2.5 hours, which is an average of 3100mAh/2.5 or about 1240mA.

Taking the drop off between 90 and 100% into account as the charging circuit switches from constant current to constant voltage, that translates to a charging current of about 1400mA for bulk between 0% and 90% (42% per hour for the first two hours) then dropping to about 18% between 90% and 100% in the last half hour.

Therefore setting the Perseus kernel to ignore unstable power and limiting the charging current to 1400mA, we get the best of both worlds: best charging rates independent of charger output without charger overload.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2545:
Have you tried any other settings? I dropped mine to 1600 for input and 1500 for charge because my car charger kept overheating my GN2. Now it stays below 100 degrees. I thought it was my usb cable or my car charger but I believe the culprit was the default setting in perseus being too high.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
I've tried 1200 1300 1400 so far and 1300 seems to charge just as fast as 1800 under the best circumstances, without overheating the charger.

Preliminary results at 1400 don't indicate any improvement in charging rate. As a matter of fact, it would seem that I get a slightly lower charging rate than at 1300! Go figure... Could be statistically irrelevant, though.

I'm still experimenting with different charging rates, noting temperatures. I'll update my result as I get them.

If you set the Perseus kernel to ignore unstable power it will definitely overheat the charger because doing so you are ignoring signs of strain on the part of the charger.

Like I said before, considering the OEM charging rate of 2.5 hours or so for a 3100 milli amp hour battery, the charger shouldn't be pushing much more than 1300 milli amp for a proper recharge anyway.

Re reading your post makes me believe you may have a problem with your battery. It shouldn't overheat! The protection chip should ensure that it doesn't overheat...
