Vibration strenght greyed out

Hi Pedestre,

Just updated to the latest 5.0 version and the vibration strenght /haptic/ under advanced options is greyed out. I was alright with the previous betas.

My ROM is latest Sabermod Slimbean 4.2.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
in this case you must change the drawable image. I don't remember exactly what was, review that

I don't have a 4.2.2 ROM right now, maybe the changes I did for fixing 4.3 ROMS, ruined the 4.2.2 (because the code I'm using is the same). I think I won't update 5.x kernel any more, but maybe I will release one final version with vibration strength fixed.

Thanks for the information
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m4dbra1n:
I have to say sorry, I'm a noob sometimes, like this time.

Seems like the problem I was having with the configurator was because of the settings in the Performance section of the rom, they were set to "set on boot", so it goes in conflict with the configurator settings, or so i think.

Now after some reboots settings seems to stick.

Let's hope so :)

Thanks anyway and sorry :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Don't worry, it can happen to everyone ...:eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chhapil:
Here is what solved the issue

Backup current

Factory reset

Reboot

Fix permissions

Restore only data

But the sad part is I have to repeat these steps every time I flash a new nightly :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marenp:
Apolo 4.11 work on new XWMS1? Tnx in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Yes before flashing use kernel wipe script,after flashing wipe both caches then reboot your phone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes, sure

Strange, I don't have to do anything special anytime I update my nightly
[Galaxy S II Android Development] merquise:
In OP says "CRT-OFF enable", can someone tell me how and where to enable it? I've looked in TWRP but couldn't find anything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chhapil:
Seems like my system partition goes corrupt every time I change something using configurator.

I'm trying to identify possible cause.

Haven't faced this issue with dori.

Seems like the Rom issue or some issue with the phone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sash!:
Thanks for your fast response!

Yes, a final version with fixed vibration strenght sounds like a great option!

The kernel feels fantastic, performance is awesome and looks like it is very battery friendly and stable for undervolting even with older versions of the CPU. I really like how stable my 4.2.2 is (as said - Last 4.2 sabermod version). Never liked Dorimanx, but was the only kernel that had support for BLNWW. But it was a sort of battery unfriendly and even stable versions had bugs.

First I tried Apolo Beta1 for two days - it was AMAZING! Unfortunately yesterday noticed that the GPS wasn't working and installed the new one. It's all good, except this small bug.

Great to see your Kernel supporting AOSP (I am monitoring for a long time It_ler's kernel testing theme and was very happy to see AOSP support).

Wish you all the best - your talent and great attitude to people is obvious.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FuN2OwN:
please excuse my ignorance, but what is the advantage of changing the voltages? i.e. whats the advantage of apolo regular and extreme?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
Theoretically, lower voltages for cpu steps mean lower power consume, so battery lasts more.

This is general, but this not mean that will work for everyone in the same way.

Apolo regular and extreme versions are already undervolted kernel, with different values of Uv. Try yourself if undervolt helps you or not in saving battery ;)

Tip: start with regular version, it's the most stable for many users
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Blue Omega:
Practically it doesn't lead most of the time to save battery rather than instability and SODs
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Android_Raj:
Please help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I can't help you, as far as I know this issue only happens with exfat external sd. Try to use twrp recovery.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Android_Raj:
Thank you for your help. Is there a way to change exFat to fat.

Or is it possible to restore backup from internal memory.

Sorry one more thing one I use to use version 4.8 and 4.9 I didn't had this issue.

Thank you for your help in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Does that mean there will be definitely no fix for this in CWM? Just asking.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No, it doesn't mean that, but right now I don't have the solution for this issue ... but I like to remember that you have twrp recovery too
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Which 2 caches and whats the reason for this? I installed apolo without doing that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
The android secure error only affects to the app that you have moved to external sd, the rest of the backup should be ok. You can reformat your sd in a PC if you wish.

I fixed this error for fat32 sds but unfortunately It changes the issue to devices with exfat sds.

In apolo both wipes cache are together in the same menu option. It is not necessary but I recommend you do it from time to time, and when you change the kernel is a good opportunity
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Android_Raj:
Pedestre

You are right. I have all my games moved to sdcard and some other apps too. When I restore my Nandroid backup everything restores perfectly except the apps which are been moved to external sd. I understand the issue now.

Previously when i use to have Apollo 4.8 and 4.9 I didn't move any apps hence I think there was no error.

Thank you for your explanation.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yavu:
@ pedestre

As your kernel is not like philz with stockkernel and full sources for everything ( GPU ), it means that in cause of missing mali codes your kernel is not so good for hard games as stockkernels? Can you explain please.

Is it a good idea to make antutu stability test with the different versions of apolo kernel (light, regular, V1, V2) and use the highest version which endure the test?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I use the samsung source , if they have changed something but they don't release it , I can't do anything about it. Is true that undervolting can affect to performance sometimes.

I don't think untuntu or other tests can indicate anything, in my opinion the only way is testing with your own device
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
I just tried Backup/Restore of .android_secure with TWRP and an exfat sd, and well, unfortunately both fail there as well.

When trying to backup it shows the .android_secure folder twice, but both with zero size.

Trying to restore of a backup created with onandroid (as I can't create one in recovery) also fails.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mario1968:
[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION]

Hi and Thank you for your excellent Kernel, I'm using 4.11 Regular and can't restore .android_secure backup created by onandroid, my SD is formatted as fat (no exfat), if I remember exactly the message was "unable to mount /sdcard/.android_secure". This is not a big issue, as I usually make my backups with onandroid and in case I must restore a backup I use to flash PhilZ Kernel before.

Thank you

Mario

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Looking at this Commit:

if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 ]; then
/sbin/busybox mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /emmc-tmp;
/sbin/busybox mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard;
if [ ! -e /sdcard/.android_secure ]; then
mkdir /sdcard/.android_secure;
fi;
/sbin/busybox mount --bind /emmc-tmp/.android_secure /sdcard/.android_secure;
fi;

It looks like your trying to mount the internal .android_secure into the external one. Is that correct?

The one we want to backup is on the external sd.

Just wondering as the Backup functionality was working in 4.10 CWM and it started failing in 4.11.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
This a fix is from Dori, try to mount it in a different point (it gave error mounting in recovery)and it works with fat32 (at least in my s2), but it doesn't in exfat.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Yes, my point was that I think that we are mounting the wrong .android_secure.

The above mounts internal in external. But as the one we need to backup is the external one, this doesn't make sense to me.

Excuse the stupid question, but did you actually move apps to your sd, or did you just create an .android_secure folder for testing purposes.

Just speculating, but if you did create an .android_secure on the internal sd, the above might actually work, but it still would backup the wrong one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes, of course, we try to backup external folder. My test worked with some apps moved to the external.

The above code mount the external android_secure in a temporal point to avoid the error mounting the external android_secure in the recovery. What I don't know is why this trick doesn't work when the sd format is exfat. If you see something that helps would be great, but now I don't have any exfat sd, I'll try to backup my sd and format it to test it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
On the chance of being annoying and embarrassing myself ... but shouldn't it be

if [ ! -e /emmc-tmp/.android_secure ]; then
mkdir /emmc-tmp/.android_secure;
fi;

/sbin/busybox mount --bind /sdcard/.android_secure /emmc-tmp/.android_secure;

instead of

if [ ! -e /sdcard/.android_secure ]; then
mkdir /sdcard/.android_secure;
fi;

/sbin/busybox mount --bind /emmc-tmp/.android_secure /sdcard/.android_secure;
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Zytrel, I think you are right. I'll try to take a look of this, because maybe I made a mistake. I was answering on the go and I didn't think deeply on it.

Thanks for your helpin this matter
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robi959:
Pedestre, can you make light kernel with stock brightness for useres who have problems with brightness and sharpness after flashing your kernel ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No sorry, brightness in apolo will be as it is right now. I'm sure you can set your ideal brightness playing with the configurator but if you can't, I'm so sorry but apolo is like this in this aspect.

Regards!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robi959:
No it can't be set in configurator because is something messed up with mdnie sharpness ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I don't understand that because mdnie sharpness can be easily disable in apolo. If it is disable you'll have stock values.

Regards!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robi959:
Look man, when i disable mdnie sharpness and open Camera, i have very bright screen like is gamma on max settings colors are very red, i don't know what is problem in camera.

Can you check that ? I tried to make screenshoot but i can't i will photo it with diferent phone. But with rest apps is great when i disable sharpness.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I'll check if there's something wrong in mdnie Samsung
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robi959:
Maybe is on some devices problem with that. Just disable mdnie sharpness and go to camera ? Or activate in Camera " Outdoor Visibility " and that is screen i get when i disable mdnie sharpness. Fix that if you can please, it will be great !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Little update: I just did a build with the changes I proposed. This at least fixed .android_secure backup for me.

Unfortunately when trying to restore, it still fails and crashes the recovery.

Would love to dig deeper, but this error seems to be in the binary and the only recovery sources in your git I could find are around 4 months old.

Hi, thanks for the kernel. I'm running into a problem. A few weeks ago I had downloaded 5.0 beta for cm10.2 4.2.2 and then I could adjust the vibration strength from the advanced settings. But now I flashed the 5.0 which doesn't seem to be a beta. Now the vibration strength in advanced menu of the ROM is grayed out and Apollo settings has no option for the same. I even reflashed the whole ROM and kernel but it's the same issue again. I will be obliged if someone could provide help with this or a link to the old beta 5.0 kernel as there the option worked. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] merquise:
