Hola pedestre!

No sé, don´t know how many times I will press your thanks button for having mentioned HCT Rom and helped me find it. This ROM is the best I ever had, comes with all and everything, no need for constantly flashing mods and I don´t know what else to flash. It´s just perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before this I flashed any new Rom and any new version I could find, tried I don´t know what and now I have two or three zips waiting to be flashed, but nooooo. Mil gracias, eres un fenómeno :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Please forgive me the off-topic. Anyhow, your kernel v4.7 regular is working perfect with HCT v10r1. With v4.8 my phone gets hot. It´s one of those white one. Seems I had no big luck with it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Where is this rom you speak of ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes it's an incredible rom, it's a pity that mods are in Spanish, not everybody can take advantage of them
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I think you already got the answer ... here in this thread ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
I find the auto backlight a bit too bright in some low light situations.

otherwise good
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes, stock autobrightness is like this, that's why I changed the minimum brightness but just in manual mode. As you can see in the thread , everybody has a different perception of brightness, most people complains because brightness is too low :silly:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kotaxor:
Lol... No matter what you do, there will always be complaint. Each have their own perception of what is best for themselves.

Just keep your cool.

jajajjaa :laugh:, I know, I know , it is imposible to please everybody, so I do what I think it is the right option (according to my own judgment)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
Say what dori would say...go to stock haha:thumbup::D great kernel great for battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
whats "manual mode"?

If you can make the brightness in dark area lower that would be nice.

dont think anyones complaining about dark areas.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Manual is when automatic brightness is not checked, so you set manually the brightness level. The minimum level (in manual mode) is lower than stock. Stock is 30 and in Apolo is 10. In Automatic, minimun brightness is 30 or 40 depending on the build.prop
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
oh i see, is it possible for end users to change the automatic minimum to 10 also? or do we need to recompile kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No, you can't do it and touch the brightnes curve is not easy, so I prefer not to touch it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
okay cool. in my previous rom android 4.2.2 there was a brightness curve setting editor where you could manually set brightness for each LUX level.

Is it possible to do this in android 4.1?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Not right now, there some bugs and I don't like how it works
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
okay thanks for the feedback :good::good:

New screen record for me :))) Neatrom+4.8b extreme v0 (default setts)

sent from GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
this is rediculously high.

4.4 hours screen time & 1 day 17 hours?

WTF?

This "extreme" must be mega battery saver, I'm on Light version
[Galaxy S II Android Development] astronautis13:
1 day & 17 hours is the average battery life. The 4.4 hours screen time were in almost 24 hours, look at the Phone Radio ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
Im using extreme v0 now

No lag or performance issues yet which is good

Might sound wrong but extreme v0 seems better performance than light.???

Zzmoove governor, row scheduler
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I don't think so, performance with UV can be the same but not better. Sometimes performance with UV can be worse, depends on the device
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
lol just goes to show it's all perception

just out of curiosity whats the % difference in battery use between Light / Extreme v0?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jeetu:
Haven't use this kernel yet. Want to try this. 4.8b will work on XWLSW? I want CWM. And apolo support backup of preload?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes and yes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jeetu:
thanks buddy. which version is good regular or extreme?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I think that I am the wrong one to ask.

On my phone, only light version runs stable.

You have to check it yourself on your phone.

Try regular first ... for some days.

If everything is fine, you can try extreme ... if not, try light.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
In some devices extreme is better, in other devices is regular. You'll have to see it by yourself
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manan001:
Hi can u update zzmoove govern plz..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Don't worry, I'll do it. I'm a little busy right now with my work, but I'll release 4.9 as soon as I can do it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjoez:
see now thats the kind of demanding guy I was talking about haha.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Fertz70:
Hi Pedestre!

I've been using 4.8b regular version and wanted to try the extremeV0.

I flashed it in recovery without any wipe.

Is there any way to check if the kernel is running with extreme V0 valtages? Or, by not cleaning, is the phone running with the regular versión settings???

Abrazo desde Argentina y y excelente trabajo!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
You can check (and change) the CPU voltages in Apolo Configurator.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SimpleNick:
Am using LSW and it works fine.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Just to be sure, remove data on boot. After that reboot and check voltages with configurator. Sometimes system changes voltages but maybe internal are lower than in regular. I wouldn't change voltajes with configurator.

Pedestre, update zzmoove to the last version please. and update all io schedulers from dorimanx kernel please.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Be patient he's working on a new kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
zzmoove for sure, i/O schedulers will see (many dorimanx stuff is not compatible with Apolo)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alex-stroev:
dorimanx updated io schedulers from Linux kernel 3.10 or 3.11 I don't remember
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Dorimanx is unstable and freezes sometimes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alex-stroev:
yeah dorimanx unstable for all stock rom. it is better for cm10.1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Dorimanx is a great kernel and that's all I can say

I want to Thank a lot dorimanx for his great great job. Many things in Apolo came from him and I really wanted to appreciate it. Apolo won't be the same without this kind of people.

People like him, gokan, hardcore, jeboo, etc, etc, etc make opensource world wonderful
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alex-stroev:
I didn't said that dorimanx is bad. it is the best and moded kernel in the world. his work is great. but his kernel not the most stable for stock rom. his kernel is stable and really fast for 4.2.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Ok, but I don't really like you say something bad about other kernels here,

You can say bad thing about Apolo kernel here, no problem, it's the right place

I wanted to wait until I hat some solid uptime achievement to present. But well, your attitude alone warrants some reward. So please take mine. For your awesome work and your friendly attitude. Should be some beers for you and your friends. :)

So far it has been as stable as it can be.

EDIT: Please don't feel pressured, my donation was for your past work and that alone. Of course I'd love to see another version, but that was not the purpose of my little gift. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Thank you, it is really rewarding.!!

You'll see another version and you will be able to test it before releasing. It's the least I can do for people like you

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Luppo9:
I had big problems with Dori and a stockbased ROM. Unstable and big accudrain even after wiping and 3 times flashing.

Apolo is the first Kernel ever had with absolut no probs and a great battery life. Works perfect after first flash!

Thanks pedestre.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zizibuba:
Hi guys. I just wanted to report my experience with this kernel. Some days ago I had 2 days and a couple of hours of battery time with 3,5 hours of screen on time and 40 minutes of calls, 2g only and wifi off only during the night(2 nights). At this moment my uptime is 353 hours, thats almost half of a month without a single problem and no loss of performance. Neat with apollo regular and regular UV.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madzo:
Guys what are the differences in the 5 versions of this kernel?

Been using Apolo kernel for a while now. The best uptime I have achieved was 600+ hours. The phone was rock stable, but the ROM's LMK wasn't keeping up since my free memory was consistently less than 200 MB compared to ~300 MB when first rebooted.

Thanks pedestre!

Which version of apolo and settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] liquidzyklon:
Apolo 4.7 Regular version, default settings.

is there anyway to restore brightness levels to stock, cause brightness is too low when using this kernel

Kernel is great so Please can anyone provide how to restore it or a version of this kernel where brightness level is set to stock,

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Set it to 100 in build prop editor edit line minimum brightness set it to 100 save and reboot

I'll try a workaround in 4.9, meanwhile you can use 4.7 if bodomfan solution doesn't work in your device.

I had the same kind of issue when I undervolted my handset on jeebos kernal. I tried formatting but no go. In the end I bought a new sd card which fixed the problem. The old sd does not work too well in other devices either. I do not know if this happened because of undervolting the kernel but I am careful now with changing the voltages.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AnubuRe:
Hi

Just want to say that I've been using htc rom for around 3 weeks now and it's a very good rom, one of the best ive tried, everything runs nice and smootht & things seem to flow at a fast speed, I'm quite impressed with this rom even though I don't understand what most of the mods are.

Also most settings are in English so it can still be used adequately.

It would be great if mods could be translated into English at a future date though, if not it still works good enough as it is and is worth checking out.

Peace
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I've translated the hct mods, dev is working in the English version...

The gps is not working with 4.7 regular version but works with 4.8 version. What could be the problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No idea, in my device GPS works in 4.7, 4.8 and in the next 4.9. Somebody posted some time ago that GPS worked in TWRP but doesn't in CWM. I usually use CWM and GPS works fine, so no idea.

In galaxy S2, GPS and BT are a pain in the neck sometimes :silly:

Hi all,

Actually I'm testing this kernel because I heard a lot about it. I'm using v4.6 Regular TWRP. So far looks good and only thing I found is that my phone goes to deep sleep so beautifully that I lost Gmail new email notifications while I'm on wifi. Anybody else experience same behavior? I have to start Gmail app manually and hit sync button to get new emails. With Philz or DorimanX kernel I haven't such issue. Any idea?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Are you using any Task Killer app or Greenify?

Then check that Gmail is on the white-list or not on the list of killed/hibernated apps.

Usually, Gmail will wake up your phone if you have configured it to receive push notifications/mails and enabled auto-sync of your Google account... regardless of the kernel you're using.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] danielo:
I'm using Greenify and Gmail is not hibernated, only thing I changed was kernel, that why I'm quite curious why this is happening to me. I going to try wipe cache/dalvic and fix permissions and will see if it helps.

Yah these settings are OK and yes FB app generates wakelocks if you set your notifications On for updates that are being either pulled at low intervals or via Push mode.

Safest way to stop/minimize FB wakelocks is to turn Off notifications / updates and do it manually every now and then or to make it automatically updates via higher time intervals like every 2 or 4 hours. For sure Push notifications / updates will generate the highest amount of wakelocks..

pedestre is there any chance of having more gpu steps?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I'd like to finish these discussions:

- It's not my priority change anything related to usb charging rate . May be in the future.

- I'm not going to implement GPU steps, nor CPU steps. I think is useless (no benefits at all in my tests) and complicated for the user.

I understand you don't share my opinion but please respect my decision, you have marvellous kernels with this features like dori or siyah

I do totally agree with pedestre, the simpler the kernel the better it is in terms of stability, simplicity and performance for the end user. Pedestre included the features that most people benefits of during their daily usage and IMHO they are just fine.

Focus can be on more enhancements for the kernel's core elements such as drivers, governors, schedulers,... Like the S4 Wifi driver case..

Apolo is great as it is and as Pedestre foresees its road map from his perspective in this area and through his own point of view..

Battery life with this is just too good. I switched over to Sentinel ROM yesterday which claims to have extreme battery life but it was far from what I can achieve with stock XWLSS and this fantastic kernel.

Thanks Pedestre:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gb.yolo:
No need to implement GPU steps (or CPU steps) IMHO, it works great so far. I think it could affect stability too, so I would keep it as it is.

You did an awesome job with this kernel, keep on giving us the latest great features like drivers and governors!

Great kernel only one question.

Why is? :

Light = stock

Regular = lightly undervolted

Surely it should be,

Regular = stock

Light = Lightly undervolted

It doesn't make sense as it is now:cool:

★NeatROM★ Mods ********************* Battery Guide
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
He's talking about UV I'm guessing. Regular is Apolo stock values when light means the kernels clock values are not effected as much.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Sorry, but why would you expect good outdoor visibility on minimum brightness levels?

If you're always on the same brightness level, and that level is lower than what it used to be for you on 4.8, then the obvious solution would be to adjust the brightness accordingly?

Apologies, if I misunderstood you.

This kernel is really great.Just one request,improve battery drain in deep sleep in regular version.I lose about 5-6% battery overnight with 4.8b.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
On 4.7 I set min brightness and can see it outdoors. 4.8 is different much lower
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Yes, minimum brightness is lower in 4.8. Many people - me included - welcome the lower levels for dark environments.

But why you would insist on keeping your previous settings when you could just adjust them to your needs is beyond me.

I could understand if you complained about the highest brightness level being unreadable outdoors, but the above just doesn't make any sense.

regards,

zytrel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Minimum brightness in manual is for indoors (will be 10 like in 4.8), in outdoors you'd better use automatic brightness . Minimum in automatic is 40.

Stock minimum brightness in manual is 30, but in my opinion is too high in low brightness conditions( in the night for example) .I can use 20 or 10 for the minimum in manual and I've decided to use 10.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dark Emotion:
With 2000 mah battery I lose 1-2 %. (regular version)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] umair42:
With light,i also lose about 1-2%

So why are you using the regular version?

I have a battery loss of about 0,42% per hour over night ... with light version.
