It depends on what you want to achieve. If you just want a stable kernel, then you a probably better off staying with the kernel you have. If you want to adjust cpu/gpu settings or governor/scheduler etc. then you might befefit from a custom kernel such as this one.

No. That is the wrong kernel. Check the first part of the first post, you need branch 7 for kitkat

https://www.copy.com/s/t:yTOopqyQTUjy3vil;p:%2FApolo

But yes, go to recovery, flash the kernel, reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xn0live:
thx u for u reporting

ine questions this kernel are for s2 or?

do u know which rom is good with this kernel (battery and stable) i hear neat rom are very battery friendly?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes it is for S2(i9100)

A lot of people use it with neatrom(branch 4 for neatrom6.4; branch 7 for neatrom 8.0st). But I would find a rom you like then find the correct version of apolo after. Note that most if not all the LP roms out now will not work with apolo as development has stopped.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xn0live:
i do not like LP

which rom and kernel u used and was very good
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I only used neatrom 6.4 with apolo 4.15b_regular after hearing a lot of people have good results. I also used res. remix on early LP with apolo 8.0 beta 4 briefly.

But if you want to try neatrom, it's great. Use "configurator for apolo" from store to get the most from it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xn0live:
do u always get whatsapp, instagram or other app notification on neat rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :

Updating TWRP after installing Apolo v4.15b kernel

Hello, how can we update TWRP to latest version (currently 3.1.0.0) after installing Apolo v4.15b kernel? The kernel comes with an older version of TWRP (2.8.x) and I did not figure out a way to update it. I have tried from TWRP app to flash image to recovery but it doesn't work (when I reboot to recovery the old TWRP version is present even after update). Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Hi there,

In order to use newer TWRP versions, you need to run a kernel that supports isolated recoveries (isorec). Stock CM/LOS supports this, as well as Dorimanx kernel (JB/KK/LP/MM/N).

Then all you have to do is flash the new recovery and reboot :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TerrorizedGakon:
Hello,

The branch for lolipop ROMs seems to be missing from download links. What is the reason? Unstable?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Maybe your problem is GPU undervolting.

I think there was a mistake in phenomenal kernels with that and UV in GPU 3D was not applied. Maybe that's the reason, maybe gerox has changed something about it. Apolo has -50 mV in GPU 3D except light version. I've discovered that many devices are more sensitive to GPU 3D UV than to any other UV. That's why I don't undervolt GPU more than 50 mV (even in extreme versions)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] olyloh6696:
Pedestre, thank you very much for the amazing kernel! I came over from dorimanx and installed this and notice the performance improvements almost immediately! Great job!

Can I just ask what the zzmove governor does? How does it work compared to other? I tired searching but can't find anything.

But thanks for this kernel! Super smooth and stable! Great job! :D:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hughfollett:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Better use of frequencys, many parameters to configure idle time, smooth_up-threshold and you can turn off one core in idle time (default in Apolo)

Yes, it's been tweaked by me and adapted to Apolo kernel, but I'm sure my parameters aren't perfect at all.

For sure you all can improve them :good: ;you can use Apolo Configurator for this

Apollo configurator says SLPwith Noop is optimal for Performance,

whereas the OP you recommend Zzmove, :confused:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:

I think for performance is slp, but for saving battery zzmoove is really amazing (and the performance is not bad at all)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Holgott:
Since a long time I finally found a kernel which is super smooth (like stock), configurable, excellent battery performance and the fact that u have bln, which was reason I never used philz or smthg similar.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] olyloh6696:
Yes thanks, I've already read it there, but its not very clear to me. I apologize for my ignorance, but can you confirm that changing the UV settings in the app is the same as flashing a different version of the kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I say in op that it is not the same, there are more voltajes involved, not only arm voltages (the only you change in configurator).

I hope it is clear now
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
No, it's not the same.

If you just use configurator, you will ONLY change arm voltages -> "external" voltages of the cpu.

You have to change the entire kernel to have more UV on the internal components of the cpu :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Addicted2Speed:
None of the above... i use light version "aka" stock voltages, because i like my GS2 fast ;)

When i plug my GS2 into charger (when the battery dies and the phone shutts down) it starts the charging animation and then gets stuck...

The beggining of the charging animation appears (the white battery with the circle) the it stucks, it didn´t pass to the white battery with the green dots in the bottom indicating that its charging....

I have to remove the battery, and then plug it again... only then it starts charging :( ...

Till now its the only fault i found in your kernel... it gave me the best time my GS2 stayed alive: 6d 11h and some minutes and seconds with my regular use :silly: ... and with light version of your kernel...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Performance, balance or saving profiles, are only a combination of governor, scheduler and governor thresholds (chosen by myself). If you change the governor, you are changing the profile, so the application unchecked the profile check .

On the contrary, if you set a profile, the application set the governor saved in the application code.

Wife drain :D:highfive:

Hope that will not happen to me ... ;)

I think that in a strong wifi area (very good wifi signal strength), you can have less battery loss compared to a 2G/3G mobile data connection with a weak signal.

In my area, 2G signal is strong (no 3G available), so that my battery consumption on mobile data is a little bit lower than on wifi.

(But internet connection is way slower.)

So I am using Better Wifi On/Off app from Play store (of the same developer like BBS) to turn off wifi when screen off (and unplugged).

That gives best battery life in standby and fast internet connection when in use.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

Can confirm this issue with Apolo v4.7 light on NeatROM Lite v4.7.

On Apolo v4.6 I only had to reboot once with the charger/USB cable unplugged, then it worked fine.

But on Apolo v4.7, sometimes the battery charging animation works, but sometimes not when turning off the phone while on charger/USB cable.

And this is most important IMO.

The phone is still charging, even if the animation stucks.

But the display is on all the time ... leads to a slightly longer charging time unfortunately.

So if you want the phone to be charged quickly, turn it off while unplugged, and when it's off, then plug it into the charger :fingers-crossed:
