[Galaxy S II Android Development] s_m_a_s_h:
Long time no been here.

Saw there was a new release )) thanks ))

After reading past posts seems people are having good experiences with cfq/NeoX.

I'm using regular with v0 voltages, as this is what I previously used on 4.11.

Initially this setup seemed to work good, v.slow battery drain, yet after 80% I have a steady constant speedier drain. (If that makes any sense).

What's people's thoughts?

I read a lot about AnTuTu (and other benchmarking) stats, that people.post in the 10000+ range, yet I've never had more than 9000 since version 4.7, so what the hell I am doing.wrong?

I've always wanted a fast stable kernel and was amased when I found Apolo kernel, I'll never change, yet I often wonder what am I missing out on with such a setup gaining 10000+ on benchmarking, apart from the speed. For that matter speed for me does count for a lot, so is why I asked the above.question.

People's feedback most welcomed, and please please do not say it depends on your phone, I basically understand this (hardware setup and differences in country variations), but I figure those that know won't share or simply won't give the magic formula away (as they're all classified with the same name-I'm talking about the S2 GTI9100) as I've tried various setups if not all Apolo setups and subsequent versions (v0, v1, v2 , light).

The elusiveness of breaking 10000+ is killing me 8-((((

Peace!

I used to never passed 9700 in the past too.but now usually i get 10500-11300.

First of all, make sure you have a clean kernel install.use gs2kernel wipe script.

Wipe dalvik and cache.

Use sd maid option in the last tab to optimize database.

Make sure you dont have too many apps consuming ram.that could lag your phone.you can use greenfy/

better battery stats to see what apps are keeping your phone occupied and then freeze unnecessary system apps and services by using titanium backup.

Are you tweaking your CPU gov? Or using default value? If you are tweaking by yourself perhaps you are doing something wrong... That we can tell you only by seeing your settings.

*it's also depend on the temp of your phone.if its too hot your benchmark will suffer and get lower.

try cooling your phone.

** try not to do a benchmark for 5-10 minutes after boot, there are some background processes keeping your phone busy to.

it could depend on your rom as well.

Hi guys,

I'm here again to ask you: is there someone using slimsaber 4.3.1 by fusionjack with apolo 6.1 and can tell me the right settings to make blnww work?

I've tried different timeouts for the leds, but none seems to work...

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Brightlenny:
Yes I have using blnww without issues on slimsaber 4.3.1.

For me to get blnww to work I had to tick bln then save settings then tick blnww choose your configuration then save boot settings. This always worked for me. A little confusing. Hope this helps you

Probably you will know what issue is with my Carbon+Apolo 6.1. When I install fresh ROM (carbon, CM), CRT-off works as it should. After flashing Apolo crt is gone.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I won't add it, nothing to gain, too much to loose for many people (stability)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alex-stroev:
but if you will add gpu setting, we will change UV for GPU without changing kernel/
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes, but out s2 is too sensitive to uv for gpu
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alex-stroev:
yes, I know that. also you can add new freg step and more steps for better performance on aosp rom's
[Galaxy S II Android Development] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
[MENTION=2041173]alex-storev[/MENTION]

One of the reasons this kernel is so great and stable is because its kept simple.pedestre already meantuned he's not going to implement gpu control.

If you want that feature you can use dorimanx kernel.

You can backup this file: S999ApoloConf. It is in /system/etc/init.d

Just started to experiment with govs. What should I try after smartassv2?

I understand schedulers dont do much for battery life? Keep at cfq?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
No its ok.i will stay with yours. :D

Just heard allot of good stuff about nightmare.

I still didnt manage to get a good battery/performance configuration for neox vs zzmoove.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
SmartassV2 is old school mate :p

I personally prefer zzmoove and NeoX.. Zzmoove has good battery life and balanced performance while NeoX is much more responsive with acceptable battery life.. SLP also is a good balanced governor IMHO..

As for schedulers cfq is good but you might try noop and Row as well.. I read once that noop has better deep sleep than other governors but maybe it is just a Placebo effect.. Row gives better Read response over write so it is also faster when the CPU is performing reading tasks from SD..

A good place to start at to understand governors and schedulers and how to tweak them is the excellent Droidphile thread:

Approximately 3hrs screen time. :(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Try a new battery first. Nothing wrong with the phone itself I'd imagine. If you're using the original battery that came with the phone a couple years back, get yourself a new, genuine Samsung replacement. They don't cost much. With apolo kernel I get 5.5-6 hour screen time, using tweaked performance profile.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
Lol its genuine battery barely an year old ..and I get 4 hrs for movie max.....I don't expect much from this phone 1650 mah is not enough..

Also temp reduce battery life my temp is 60-65 when gaming. FYI nexus 5 gives 4-5 hrs screen time :D

Any solution

Feedback ll b appreciated.

Thanx 4 ur wonderful contribution.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I think it is a CM 10.2 bug, it usually happends the second reboot when you have restored apps. I follow this procedure (fresh install) and it usually works well.

1- Wipe data and format system

2- Install ROM

3- Install 4.3 gapps

4- Change kernel (if you wish)

5- Wipe data again

6- Boot system

7- Do the initial guided setup (wifi, gmail, etc) and install a couple of your apps

8- Reboot (it takes to boot a little longer than usual, even a couple of minutes)

9- If system doesn't boot, reboot into recovery, wipe data and repeat procedure starting in 6 (booting)

When you complete successfully the second boot, you won't have more problems booting. It will always boot normally.

I hope it works in your device too ¡¡

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Never mind the first response you got to your question, the one above mine. I guess what's trying to be said is to read thoroughly and understand all implications before flashing anything, which I agree with. Reading is easy, but fixing is not.

If you want something good to read on undervolting, there is a link in dorimanx kernel OP to a post by a professional chip designer (Vikas) who worked on & designed mobile chipsets. That's worth a read. Then you're able to weigh it up for yourself.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Let me get this straight.... Apolo will not ruin your phone, or encounter any hardware damages due to the kernel. Directly from the OP:

So if you want to use Apolo but not undervolt, flash the light version. If you want a small undervolt, then flash regular. And I doubt you're interested in the extreme version based off your current responses, so don't worry about that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] joaonuno:
hi there,

i'm no expert but i can tell you i have been using apollo kernel for quite a long time (even before pedestre made this thread at XDA. i understand spanish so i was following it in a Spanish site) and never had any issue or problem. what i had was an excellent and stable kernel with awesome battery life, and pretty good support also.

I absolutely recommend this kernel!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
Undervolting can cause your device become unstable and freeze.but it will not damage its hardware.and you can always get into recovery changing the kernel or reseting its settings.

IMHO this kernel is very stable and has the right features, I don't need too much option to choose in the kernel, light, efficient, linear... If I need other options like OC, GPU steps, and more, then I will move to other kernel (like dorimanx). In the past I was on dorimanx kernel, but I never used all the features it has, the releases are very frequently and my (I say MINE) phone became unstable.
