Hola pedestre!

I have a cmw backup made with Philz from Neat 4.7, about three weeks ago. To recover it, do I have to install Philz again?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
If you use TWRP version, yes, because they are not compatible

[Galaxy S II Android Development] AgentChaos:
which version has the best battery life?

Light, Regular, Extreme V0, V1, or V2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dracula8275:
With Biftor I'm using v.4.4 extreme 0 and everything is working great: very stable, battery friendly, no wifi and hotspot problems. It's the best release of Apolo kernel for me. Try first v0 if you have problems can use Regular or Light. Sure you will appreciate the great work of Pedestre.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Start with extreme v0 and see if your phone can handle it use for 2-3 charge cycles then use kernel wipe script and try extreme v1 see if your phone can handle that undervolting and so on,hope this helps

Finally after 6days 11hours 46min and some seconds my battery died :p ...

Never a kernel gave me so much time with battery on :D ..

Awsome kernel, keep the good work Pedestre :good:

PS: Time achived with "Light" version of Kernel (cfg + zzmoove and -25mv in cpu voltages)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] liquidzyklon:
Wow 6 days and 11 hours is crazy. You must have barely used your phone. What was the screen on time?

I am on Apolo 4.7 Regular and just hit 10 days of stable use with no issue. Battery life is better than previous kernels. The best part is that the WIFI drain is much reduced from 2%+/hr idle down to 0.7%-0.8%/hr. I can finally stop worrying about my phone and it will last me a day.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cripubu:
Look at the screenshots! It has been next to all time in deep sleep, only 3 hours not, and never hit any other frequency than 200 :rolleyes:

Nothing, it is the best kernel for now, but I would like to see a screenshot that tells more about its use.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] olyloh6696:
Is it possible that using a more undervolted version you can get significantly worse battery life?

With regular battery was great, but with extreme v1 battery life is a lot worse?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes, it is. In some devices, more undervolting means worse battery life. That's why in OP I recommend to test each version two or thre days before choosing one of them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dracula8275:
Hi Pedestre, do you mean that with Regular or Light can obtain better battery life that with Extreme v0? Will try but i don't know if it's possible be better :)

Yesterday had 4 hours of display with 10 hours wifi on, bluetooth 1 hour, 30 min viber, browsing etc.... Will try. Thank you for the great work

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Usually, more undervolting means better battery life, but not always, there are some devices in which this rule doesn't work. In JB, sometimes too much UV in low frequencys can be bad for battery, but the limit depends on any device.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Epsil:
Hi,

I tested this (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) and it's doesn't work.

Animation stuck, i pulled battery and problems is same.

Bad bug because this kernel is great :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I'm really sorry for this "Bad bug" :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manan001:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No, I'm afraid not. No idea where it comes from.

I don't ever turn off the phone, I never did since I got it, I think these phones are made to be on all the time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Epsil:
No problems Pedestre,

If you can fix it it's great if you cannot never mind ;)

I prefer your kernel with this bug other another kernel.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] takkaros:
If you supply less volts than your phone need, it could cause soft errors that have to be constantly corrected (I guess our phone has ECC module). That is creating more heat + less battery because cpu is working harder. I guess this is what pedestre is talking about when he suggests a less extreme version first:) If I am wrong please correct me.

So far, so good with this update.

No need cleaning script between Apolos. The only important thing is to "remove boot data" from Apolo configurator in case you had saved voltages at boot.

Screen time was 4h03min with my regular use (sms, facebook, calls, etc...) :good: ...

I did a test with gaming: Battery full charged, then played csr racing and carmagedon till battery died and screen time was 3h53min.... very good

Another test was using aplics with wi-fi on (facebook, gmail, hangout, etc...) and gave me 4h33min...

Another test was playing with the phone aplics (sms, adjust and choose contacts pics, etc...) anda gave me 6h01min when it died :good:

All this with stock battery...

In my opinion it's a awsome kernel... the only fault it as is the "charge bug" :eek:

Hope it's fixed in 4.8 ;)

Hi pedestre.. I'm having freezes on lockscreen with your kernel.. I've tried estreme v0 and regular but got the same result: it just freezes on lockscreen and i have to reboot manually.. I'm sure that my phone supports the UV, since i've used extreme v2 in the past with apolo v4.5.. How can i help you searching the cause?? Or if you have an explanation, then i'm waiting for your response :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alex-stroev:
I have this problem too. Pedestre, what is this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I think this wakeup is related to data conection. It's always there. You can minimize it changing modem, but I wouldn't worry too much if your battery life is normal.

No idea, It seems UV problem, but if you say it is not ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hughfollett:
The thing is that it happens only on lockscreen.. So i have to download light version for the first time :) i'll report back if the 4.8 is not released yet :)

Voltages are tricky. They can freeze your device in just specific situations
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Some users have reported that the l2-hsic wakelock was significantly lower when rebooting after disconnecting from charger/USB cable.

And higher when not booting after disconnecting from charger/USB cable.

Maybe some processes in the background responsible for data connection/communication keep being busy/running for a while after USB cable is disconnected?!

In this case, it seems not to be kernel related IMO.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
maybe its a very power consuming app especially if your downloading.turn mobile data off if your using wifi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
If you want advices to optimize your battery life, I recommend installing and using Better Battery Stats (BBS) app.

And sometimes less voltage (more extreme undervolting) can lead to more battery drain.

Have installed it but i am not that savy with battery stats hence fail to understand it

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
calm down, your mobile is fine, almost sure

take off the battery 10 minutes. Then try to enter into recovery. Press the 3 buttons at the same time and don't release. Probably it will reboot 2 or 3 times, don't release them. It will enter into recovery. If it will, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. If it still doesn't start, flash your rom without wipes.

if it doesn't enter into recovery mode, enter into download mode and flash the kernel again with odin.

It has to solve the problem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vitoski:
Marco calm down, that's first. Second turn off your phone (if it's not) and then pull out battery for a minute or two. Once done, try to open recovery. If successful, try to flash light or Philz kernel. If not, try download mode and flash rom (but you will lose data) :(

So what exactly works and what not?

1.) Download mode: Long press POWER + HOME + Volume DOWN

2.) Recovery mode: Very long press POWER + HOME + Volume UP

If 1. works, attach phone with USB cable to PC and flash the zImage file from kernel zip file in PDA section of Odin, or flash another kernel which comes as tar file (such as PhilZ, SpeedMod, etc.).

If 2. works, flash the kernel zip file again. You may need to wipe data (do a factory reset).

Good luck !

i think i had better battery life with 4.6 rather than 4.7.

i'm not sure exacly why, but with 4.7 i'm getting 8-11 hours with 3-5 screen time.with 4.6 i had more.(regular version, zzmoove,sio and regular uv)

when i look at bbs statistics they looks great, almost no wakelocks.but still, some how i'm not getting as good battery life as 4.6/

perhaps its s4 wifi driver? or maybe BLN?

my guess is BLN ,as In 4.6 as i recall, had a problem with init.d scripts didnt started at all.so no setting were savedand bln never worked there for me.this was solved by doing factory reset.

Now, i have tried installing 4.6 just to see if it has this strange battery drain, and i have noticed again a problem with settings not being saved, but this time, only UV and BLN are not sticking to what i have configured, cpu governor is staying.that is strange behavior. :confused:

is it possible BLN is causing this drain? my BLN setting was BLNWW.

pedestre , perhaps there is a way to check this and fix it ? cause i really want to use BLN...

for now i will switch back to 4.7, but i will test it without bln.

Apolo 4.4 Extreme v.0 kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dante_67:
There are many Othery factors other than wake ups, radio signals the apps that have a continuous check up for their updates (the trinity ...facebook, viber and whats app) and weather apps, some widgets, some cosmetic apps, temperature of the phone and surroundings, sometimes we use the phone and don't remember what we were using, frequent restarts/reboots, and the stuff like that. This kernel is doing extraordinary, simple and fast, with phone sleeping like a baby. Anyways its also recommended to use kernel wiping scripts before flashing a new kernel. This is the best kernel for JB onthis machine so far.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
Regular.

never used 4.4 version.

with wifi on had something like 3% loss per night with 4.7. dont remember exactly what was the drain with 4.6 over night, but i think i have lost little more than that.but during day use, 4.6 gave me more battery time.15 hours more or less.on 4.7 i'm getting 10 hours with 3 hours screen...(that is good, dont get me wrong, but i had better with 4.6).

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

my phone sleeps like a baby,

for long time i have haunted all kernel wakelocks, using greenfy, disabling unnecessary background traffic, disabling/freezing unnecessary services...

and didnt installed anything new.so i have the same configuration as 4.6 kernel(and had better battery with 4.6).

i know its a great kernel, fast, stable, and even with this strange drain i'm having now, its the best battery life i have ever had for a kernel. :)

its not wakelock issue.as i have mentioned, i think its BLN(ww). i will test 4.7 without bln
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Neither download nor recovery mode work ?!

That would be a hard-brick.

Just try once again:

Pull out battery for about 2 minutes.

Then put battery back into phone.

Press HOME + POWER + Volume DOWN and hold all three keys till you see the download mode screen ... you can abort after 1 minute.

If it does not work, same procedure for recovery mode:

Pull out battery for about 2 minutes.

Then put battery back into phone.

Press HOME + POWER + Volume UP and hold all three keys till you see the recovery menu screen ... you can abort after 1 minute.

If it does not work, either the screen is "dead", or you really have a hard-bricked phone.

Can you charge the battery? Is the battery charging animation shown? Does the phone gets warm/hot while plugged into charger?
