Please don't try aggressively under volting past -200mv as we can not be 100% sure that at these extremes the cpu won't overcompensate by drawing more current or if other changes may happen. Using the preconfigured Apolo settings should be safe however and I see no problems with it. I personally use about -100mv and at -150mv my phone starts to get unstable. I've had UV for almost the whole life of the phone without problems.

The worst part of OC is usually the increase in voltage needed to stabilize the higher frequency as this can overheat the chip and cause heat damage if it's not throttled correctly and it can even damage the chip without heat if using extreme voltages.

Despite this much higher risk of damage many people have used 1600 MHz without serious issues while some have damaged their phone.

Overall I would feel completely confident that a modest UV would be completely fine and would even be good to stop overheating.

Enjoy the kernel and your safe UV but obviously be careful and read more of you're interested :)

Hi everybody! :)

Sorry for noob question, but I don't even know where to post this :D

If I can manage to install Apolo 4.7 on a Miui Rom (13.6.14), will I have init.d support?

Now I'm running Siyah6 b4 and I can't create init.d folder, and I don't know about Apolo.

Does anyone already tried? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes, you can create init.d in /system/etc

Then, put the scripts in init.d. The name of your script files must starts with an "S" (in 4.8 it won't be necessary any more)

Good luck!!

I tried Apolo 4.8 CWM with Chameleon Rom and it appears to be very unstable. As soon as the media scanner stops (usually after 15(!) minutes), the screen will not turn on again, only pressing the power button for some seconds reboots the phone (I guess it is called SoD). I tried light, regular and both extreme options with apollo configurator... Before I installed Apolo 4.8, I used the GS2KernelWipe script.

Anyone else experiencing this kind of issue? After I flashed Apolo 4.7, everything works fine again...

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but the search appears not to be working at the moment.

Are there any plans to include a BLN timeout, as in Siyah?

(ie. once activated, turn off BLN LED's after a definable period of time, eg 5, 10, 15 mins etc)

I understand that lower brightness is lower than before (I like this thing) but is the highest brightness level the same as before?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
The download link is dead
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
It's already inside the kernel ;)

you can simply use the Configurator and set Led timeout :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
It is included right know, in the configurator you must set Notification TimeOut (no led timeout, this is the timeout for touching the soft keys)

Don't think so, in automatic I haven't changed anything (in htcmania some guy said just the opposite). I think it's just your feeling

highest brightness is the same

Cheers¡¡
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Sorry but I've not explained myself properly, so I'll try again

When an incoming message is received, the BLN gets activated.

On Siyah you can set how long the lights are to remain on for. (eg 5, 10, 15 minutes)

This is very handy if a message is received overnight, so the battery doesn't run down rapidly over many hours.

What you are describing seems to be how long to keep the LEDs on when you touch the softkeys.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
Paul, I understood what you need. It's already in, believe me: you can move to Apolo nicely :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manjake:
FYI people, you can use this app as an alternative way to configure BLN

Did you see my answer? Notification timeout does what you want :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manjake:
sorry, attached
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawkerpaul:
All I have in Apolo configurator (v3.3) is "LEDs Timeout" I dont have a "notification timeout"

This ranges from always off, no timeout, 1 - 30 seconds.

This is surely the timeout for when the softkeys are pressed?

Or are you saying when BLN kicks in, the lights can only stay on for a maximum of 30 seconds? (or no timeout)

On Siyah, there are separate BLN timeout, and screen press timeout values
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Select first BLN and magically Notification tiemout will appear (you should read manual) :o

Are you sure you don't use other CPU control apps similar to SetCPU like Voltage Control, CPU Adjuster, System tuner,.... which might have some forgotten settings checked to run at startup and might be interfering with the init.d script after it runs?

You can edit the /etc/init.d/S999ApoloConf and add a line at the end of the script a simple command that creates and writes anything to a blank file and check for that file. For example add:

echo "test" > /sdcard/TestFile.txt

If the test file isn't there after reboot so probably inid.d script is not running as maybe your ROM doesn't support init.d scripts (which I doubt). If the file is found then probably Apolo parameters get set after boot but they get overridden by another cpu control app or another cpu control script after boot..

Hi Pedestre

it's great to see apolo kernel here on xda, I've been using apolo since v-4.2b and have best batt I've every had.

Many thx for all your work, your kernel is excellent.

I have 2 questions: I've been using apolo kernel for a few months on its own without the configurator (trying it today for 1at time, too early to know how its writing for me), so my questions are:

1. What am I missing out on by not using the configerator and just sticking to kernel on its own?

2. If I for example under "apolo voltage" choose lite, will it override setting for the extream v1 kernel I have?

Sorry if silly question but I'm not familiar with manually messing with voltages etc. Also sorry if this info is in the Manuel but I haven't yet read it but will on PC soon.

Peace

For those interested, zzmoove governor is based on smoove governor that was originated for Galaxy S which is based on the conservarive governor but uses faster sampling. So it is battery friendly with a slight hit on performance

I had issues with 4.5 not being able to get into deep sleep. Has this been solved in 4.6?

Great kernel otherwise, I'll give it a try if it goes into deep sleep I will be pretty happy.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
1. No problem. If you don't use it, you'll have "almost" stock kernel sensation(many people like it). Configurator gives you extra performance or extra battery changing I/o and governor. I don't recommend playing too much with voltages.

Configurator is necessary if you want to use BLNWW or S2W. You'll need it too if you want to disable leds forever.

2. No, Configurator only changes ARM voltages, so rest of voltages will be the same

Never had issues with deep sleep, neither with 4.5. nor 4.6. It is imposible to get good battery results without deep sleep.

There was an issue in JB. Sometimes when you unplug phone from charger, phone doesn't enter in deep sleep. You have to turn on the screen and leave that phone turns it off itself. Other cause can be BLN (not BLNWW), if you use BLN, while leds are on, there is a wakelock and phone doesn't enter into deep sleep.

I think 4.6 sleeps like a baby

Can confirm that EFS backup doesn't work properly on Apolo v4.8 light (CWM version).

Neither on external nor on internal sd card.

As I'm using EFS Professional to backup my EFS partition (and my current ROM also has auto-EFS-backup on installation), it's not a "big" issue IMO.

But battery charging animation seems to work fine, even after turning off the phone while plugged into charger :fingers-crossed:

First off, thanks so much, Pedestre, for creating such a nice, smooth and rock solid kernel.

I'd been running 4.7 Regular for seven days straight and didn't notice any issues. Performance kept being as smooth as on day one.

Now regarding v4.8, auto brightness definitely behaves a bit darker. But in my case this change is very much welcome, as before I had to use an external tool to manage auto brightness as it was way to bright. So, if you're going to "fix" this, please give us a gamma slider on top of that. :)

If you continue the current path of prioritizing stability over features, I'm sure this kernel will become the new reference for stock roms.

Thanks again and rock on. :)

So... yeah... this is starting to frustrate me really bad... So, I initially installed the Extreme V0 4.7 thinking that this would be perfect for my camping trips with my extended battery... but it froze on my by the he got to "Android app upgrading" screen on the beginning of system start-up. Reading the tread I understood that maybe my device is somehow different... then again... not. Maybe the Chameleon ROM was fault (not Chameleon UI), but - no. It is a Sammy ROM. O.k. so I tried the standard version 4.7... still freezes at the start... then the Lite version of 4.7, still freezes up on me.

Now I tried the new release, the 4.8 one, and absolutely the same scenario. What am I doing so wrong?

Would really appreciate a answer. Thanks in advance. :)
