Personally I'd prefer not to have a running service with the configurator even if this means that I would lose the ability to control vibration.

But as always it's pedestre's decision. :)

hi [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION],

i've seen that you refused requests for trim capability on the grounds of safety.

i started discussions about enabling trim with Entropy512 and others a year ago. i had rational arguments that pointed to the possibility that trim would be safe if implemented correctly. i found out that nobody would want or dare to do a thing, there was a strong negative emotional response towards trim and the brickbug fiasco. i don't think anybody even read my arguments at the time. eventually it became clear that i would need to fix it myself, so i started working on it 6 months ago.

finally reason trumped beliefs: trim was tested to be safe against every emmc bug of the exynos 4210 era on all devices and a wide range of emmc types and fw revs. and this was no surprise, as a priori reasoning pointed to this result anyway. trim is incorporated into several mainstream kernels now (at least gustavo's, raw kernel, forest, and the official CM kernel for some of the kindle fires), in addition to mine.

my initial research is here. a priori rationale for safety here (read that to put your fears to rest). success story here. steps to add trim to a kernel here, with extra info available here.

i want to mention that at this juncture, NOT SUPPORTING TRIM IS UNSAFE, and not the other way around. not trimming leads to a situation where write amplification increases to ridiculously high levels, making the device slow and power hungry, and burning away the limited life of the flash chips at an exceptional pace. not to mention that all this writing may in fact be concentrated in a small area of the flash (i'm very wary of samsung's engineering, and i fear they could be using dynamic instead of global wear leveling in these old emmcs).

all in all, these emmcs have been burning in write amplification hell for the past few years. it's time to cut them some slack.

Lets leave the dev decide what he thinks is right,i wanna ask though what frequency does gpu max up with this kernel hope its 330 not 267?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zile995:
267MHz. Everything is stock. Just imagine this kernel with overclock [emoji54]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Thanks [MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION]. Before anything else, I'd like to thank you for what you are giving to our community, especially your work in fuse bug. About trim, I want to study carefully all about it. I don't like to add unsafe staff in my kernel and sometimes I prefer to be over cautios (may be too much for some people but I feel better this way).

Thanks for participating in this thread, I really appreciate it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alucard:
Oh man come on i think 330 would be nice,440 is too much but until 400 is safe and necessary for some games,i think pedestre should reconsider adding OC profile for gpu too,its been years and none has posted that OC hurmed its phone plus if phone gets too hot it has a safe that makes it reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zile995:
Yes, 400MHz is safe, and that is max for me. Apolo v4.15 has amazing gaming performance even with 267MHz freq. I tried NOVA 3 on stock jb rom with this kernel... NeoX+row... OMG it is so smooth. I wonder how the game will work with 400MHz? :D :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alucard:
Wich combination of configuration do u use for a balanced result?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lanchon:
thank you! it's always better to err on the side of caution. i just wanted to say that not using trim has it's unsafe side too. i never mentioned that anywhere before because i always perceived trim as more risky. now that IMHO the risk of trim is negligible, i think unnecessary wear of the flash memory is the riskier option. there's interesting data in those links i pasted, i hope you enjoy the read if you ever have the time.

thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Hey, since you're able to build kernels on your own, what about forking Apolo, applying your patches and provide a built for us? V0 voltages applied?

Just friendly asking, no offence!

i have a question ..since the s2 got an amoled display would it be more battery efficent if the screen was darker? ... so why is the cant we set an even lower brightness level than it is possible now with apolo config. is there a reason for that..like making the screen really dark ...at night for example :)

New try with vibration issue (Stock ROMS 4.1.2) :

- I've changed the vibration interface in the kernel and I've changed configurator to use it.

Now you can choose, custom intensity (helped with configurator to keep your custom values) or Sammy control (same as always, no help from configurator and sammy vibration intensity). It should keep it after rebooting (if you pressed "save at boot" button, of course)

If custom vibration intensity doesn't work, you can use the stock values.

kernel (regular voltajes)

Configurator Beta1

Thanks for your help

So, vibraton work with incoming calls, but doesn't work on sensors(back and menu key)... Right?!

sorry my English but use google translator,in the new configurator b1 there is a possibility to tick the item custom and choose the intensity of the vibration does not work...but if you do not use the mode everything works fine

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

pedestre bro, I tested the latest version of your and if you use the mode 'custom the vibration dont work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
For some reason I can't understand, it doesn't work in your system but it should. Nevermind, that's why I added the stock control.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zile995:
For me they work after reboot, but they(soft keys) don't work with custom vibration after leaving *#0*# -> Vibration(black)

I am talking about softkey vibration. I need to go in settings->sound-> vibration intensity to regain vibration(custom vibration was checked in apolo app when i was doing that)

But when i open again apolo configurator and uncheck custom vibration i lose stock vibration from settings :)

So, that's only one problem with soft keys(heptic feedback vibration). I also notice that notification vibration doesn't work, incoming call vibration works fine ;)

Advice: Make kernel without vibration(4.15), it will be better for sammy roms. Kernel already works great and has everything we need.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
OK,I give up. For me everything works fine, but it seems I'm the only one, so I'll revert interface vibration in 4.15.

I'll take a brake after many hours of work and no result at all. These things happen some time.

Thanks for your collaboration and understanding!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] latino81:
I share the view of zile995 was what I was trying to tell you sorry my english , fine by me even without the controller vibration.......esteem and respect for you :) pedestre

Hello guys is it possible to greenify (hybernate) apolo configurator ? or does the app (service) need to run in the background all the time?

i hybernated apolo configurator and my phone runs just fine even aplying some changes it keeps them intact but i dont know for how long

im trying to get the most out of my battery life so i hybernate system apps & services wich are not needed
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
Why would you hibernate apolo configurator ? It is not even running in the background.

But AFAIK, when you change things in it, it just writes that changes to some system files, so you could even delete it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] issy_i:
Yes it is, atleast on my phone

it was running in the background even if i closed all apps etc, the proces/service of apolo configuratior app was shown still running

but okay doesnt matter anyway as i have the answer i was looking for. In my case i can hybernate it without any problem Thnx:good:

The configurator needs lots of UI improvements. It's very laggy and the UI is not very good.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
Explain 'laggy'. Cause it's working perfectly fine here.

And this is a kernel configurator app. It's not supposed to have a beautiful UI, it's supposed to be functional.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Xipe_Totec:
After Apolo flashing, in both KK and LP roms, i end up with a phone without any kind of connection: no phone data (i can't phone nor navigate), no wifi, no bluetooth (when i turn on the switch it will turn off automatically).

Any hint?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sh1bby:
Run the kernel cleaning script before installing Apolo and wipe cache and Dalvik after you installed Apolo. That should solve your issue ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Xipe_Totec:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kal4metal:
[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] First of all, thank you for this great kernel! I'm using Lysegic Acid's CM12 for my i9100, latest beta. My question is this. As you might've seen, he added the missing SELinux policies and enabled it and set it to enforce. The thing is, that, being a fan of your kernel, I'm using only Apolo, but the SELinux status is permissive. Can you please update the kernel, enabling that feature? Thank you! :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kt-Froggy:
This issue seems to be inconsistent, but the problem definitely exists... Looks like it doesn't affect everyone, and it's hard to figure out a pattern. Sometimes it works for a long time with no problems, and sometimes I get random disconnects every 30 min or even more often... Same thing on pure stock kernel, PhilZ, Siyah and Dori. I flashed Apolo 4.7 yesterday, and already had 2 or 3 disconnects on it. I am absolutely not saying it's the kernel's fault. :) I was just hoping that S4 drivers would nail this issue...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I'm not going to implement gamma shift. It doesn't work as I'd like in Apolo, but what I'm going to do is lower the minimum bright in manual mode, so in the dark you could use it with less brightness (minimum bright is too high in JB). Maybe I'd touch slightly the brightness curve, but not too much.

I think sounds is OK. I usually have to lower it because it's too high for me. If someone needs to improve the sound, there are options like viper4android and Alsamixer without touching the kernel.

have a good day¡¡

As governor is really good but a bit complicated to set really good....

It seems, some recoverys have problems with some external sd (It happends sometimes in my CWM with some users).

You can backup your system using OBackup (here) but probably you won't be able to restore with TWRP. You can try to do it.

Yes this kernel will work with ext4 for system partition and data partition. Standard format for file system.

For internal SD card it will work but you need to set permissions for it. I haven't tried yet but ROM did see SD card but couldn't write to it. It has to do with ext4 security features. Do a search in Google on how to set up permissions with terminal in ROM.

is Apollo 7 kernel support for PA rom ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yavu:
Hi,

1) Apolo regular 4.15b default settings are Ondemand + cfq. Is this setting same like on stockkernel?

2) I want set a governor and sheduler which can give at least the same performance like Stockkernel by lower battery consumption. I don't know which one could be better:

a) Ondemand + cfq

b) Pegasusq + row

c) Pegasusq + sio

d) Neox + row

3) Where can i find an explanation to the governor "neox" ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanyi:

[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] Can you make kernels with and without trim.those who want trim can use them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yavu:
I already know this website. But neox isn't recommend there. I have set neox + row but it drains my new battery much faster then pegasusq + row. Right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
NeoX is still a good governor. But I still prefer HYPER or PegasusQ over NeoX because of this drain. This is the reason why I have not recommended it. In terms of stability, HYPER is the best. However the default values are not good in apolo kernel as the up threshold is really high (should be decreased to 85 or 80 if you want your phone to be smooth). If pegasusQ works well with your phone, stick with it. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yavu:
How is battery consumption between pegasusq and hyper?

The up threshold should be changed like you Said by using any gouvernor and scheduler combinations?

Neox and row let run the phone very fast and smooth but with the new 1800 mah polarcell battery which is really one of the best batteries I get screen on time nearly like on my over 2 years old original samsung battery. Therefore I won't use it. Must find a combination for smooth phone and less battery consumption. Which ones come after neox and row?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dr AM:
Update it to support latest omni lollipop version please :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
The threshold settings only apply for hyper. Default settings for other governors are fine. It is just HYPER that needs to be adjusted in this kernel. Battery life for pegasusq and hyper are on par with ondemand (in other words, better than neox and among the best battery efficient cpu governors). You mean what combination would I recommend after neoX + row? Good combinations include Pegasusq + row or Pegasusq +sio or HYPER + SIO. Ondemand is good too but for more smoothness, stick with Pegasusq or hyper.

To really get the most out of your battery, use greenify to prevent most wake locks from unused apps. Uninstall any bloat ware, disable google now voice detection from home screen and turn off unused radios (e.g wifi, GPS) when possible.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yavu:
I already use extralite version which I have maid more lite and I use greenify. If I greenify all personal apps could this slow down the phone? Furthermore I use droidwall because I will decide which apps can use wifi and or mobile data. Could droidwall slow down the phone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
These kind of apps don't usually slow down the phone. It's only the 'battery saver' apps that use more battery (instead of saving) and stuff around with your syncing and stuff.
