Personally and a lot of others also believe undervoltage is nonsense. If you do something the cpu needs to get it done. If the cpu doesn't run as efficient at less voltage you have more drain.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Correct!

Although....

There are 5 different cpu editions, each of which tolerates different voltages! For PC enthusiasts, this is nothing new, graphics cards and cpu's on PC's all cope with different voltages depending on the batch they come from, so if you are lucky to have a cpu that tolerates the voltage drop, then theoretically you may save power, but in fact what it really means is that the device is more agreeable to being overclocked.

Also, if you read the OP, the voltage changes in apolo are not just on CPU but also on GPU, and herein there could be a saving, so picking regular and then changing the voltage profile on cpu to light will atleast give you some UV on GPU which is more likely to be of use, especially for those who don't play games.

Get the wrong voltages for your phone however and you can find it drains more trying to get the job done and/or lower performance.

So always try light and if you have loads of time on your hands then try regular, if you can run identical usage tests on a 24 hour basis you may notice tiny gains in battery, but really it will be fairly negligible. I am testing regular at the moment to see if it compares differently to light, so far I don't think it does.

One last thing, probably the most important, is that if you device can perform as well in all departments on lower voltages then essentially you can extend the life of the cpu and/or gpu, but once more testing that out will most likely outstrip the ownership of your phone :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] txx3:
so you say ..work needs be done ...work cant be done because not enough power ...system must work harder ...more power drain? somehow logic, but sometimes the phone dont need all that power ...and in that case High Voltage use is bad for battery! and if you tell the System only use low Voltages it might be better.

No, it works perfectly. Dorimanx latest beta does not boot, but apolo is ok. And I also run xxms3 stock. Wipe cache & dalvik and fix permissions
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Apolo and slim saber battery performance testing going very well.

Yesterday saw just over 3 hours screen time and 38 hours without charge.

Likewise sleep performance and minimal usage preserving nicely.

So glad I did not bother upgrading away from i9100 to a s4, I don't need a bigger screen and don't need to play fps games therefore realising I don't need newer hardware saves money and keeps me on the most interesting device for android development! I wonder how much further this device can go? :)View attachment 2554698

are there any special changes in ms3 ? :D

does it save battery than ms2 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Definitely not, roms likes slimsaber and kernels like apolo contain everything you need, anything else is placebo, trust me :)

Plus nothing beats a new battery if yours is 18 months or older :) , and of course only ever use samsung batteries, the third party stuff is normally a bunch of lies with their capacity claims!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
Thanks for sharing your experience :)

I finally removed Dorimanx Kernel from my device and it is much more snappier than before and battery lasts much longer.

Did you compare gustavo_s kernel already with Apolo?

ATM I am on gustavo's kernel but I am thinking of going back to Apolo although the update frequency at Gustavo's kernel is higher ;)

Greetings,

I've been noticing some erratic behavior concerning BLNWW on Sammy XWLSD for some time (at least since v4.12, maybe before as well) now. Didn't have any time to pay any attention to it until now, sorry. :)

The thing is, that BLNWW works most of the time, but sometimes it just doesn't. It's not application specific and ranges from missed calls to K9mail.

Standard BLN seems to work perfectly, but I noticed that it sometimes takes a while to kick in (up to 10 seconds).

Could it be that if BLNWW sometimes has a similar delay to kick in, and that if happens while the device has already entered deepsleep again, it just stays off?

Just a thought. Any advice would be most welcome.

EDIT: Nope to the above assumption. Also happens with standard BLN.

UPDATE: Doh, I was mistaken. It actually IS a bug with k9mail. Everything working fine since I switched to another email app.

Sorry to bother.

Apolo 4.13

Stock Sammy XWLSD (4.1.2)

Regards,

zy.

Multi Answers for you :) :

All the Apolo v7 are Mali V3, the labelling is a little misleading, stick to the one I am using if you are using slimsaber, trust me :)

Are you using ART? If so stick with Davlik until andriod v5 comes along, ART will be stable with all apps by then :) If not, then I am not sure!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brack11:
Every time I flash this kernel on kitkat rom (tried pound and slimsaber) I lose the ability to receive sms. What can be wrong? I have to wipe data to restore sms sending.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Sounds good. Can you explain how? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anuradha96:
Are you using ART or DALVICK ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Always Davlik! ART is getting closer to being a true replacement, but at present there are flaws to be ironed out. ART will be default from Andriod v5 onwards and essentially is in beta form for 4.4.2

2. After installing, open it, type su Grant root.

3. Issue the following command:

mount | grep sdcard

4. See the output and issue this command:

fsck_msdos /dev/block/vold/179:9

(Apply your value after /vold/)

5. If it asked you to fix, confirm by entering y

hello guys.

just flashed Apolo CM 7 beta2b on last Probam (aosb project) and got the wifi issue.

done 2 times the instuctions in OP and nothing happened.

what else can I do? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Wit root explorer:

1- Copy /lib/modules/dhd.ko to /system/lib/modules

2- Change dhd.ko permissions (just see any other file in /system/lib/modules and give the same permissions to dhd.ko)

3- Reboot

But it is not logic, The problem is the init Apolo service, sometines is not executed (I don't know why). In this service this file is copied automatically to make wifi works but there are more things in the service but wifi is the most important thing.

Hello,

I flashed Apolo CM 7 beta2b on Paranoid Android 4.0 and I found that I can not mount

The second broblem I met after instaling "Automapa" app. This app seams to not see SD card because it tries to

install maps data on internal memory. The same problem is with Dorimanx kernel but not in Paranoid Android before
