Thanks for your rewarding words, they encorage me for sure to keep up the development. :(:(

I don't have too much time right know to do many things and I don't use the S2 anymore, but if I had to fix something, I will do it. You said, No development since many months? Last release (new official kitkat version) was on April 13th (¿Many months?)

¿No support?, do you think so? :(:( Many times questions are answer here in the thread, so I don't need to repeat something.

¿Kernel dead? Does the kernel work? I think so, even in latest Android base (even with those battery issues, probably due to the first rom release), so if you think this kernel is dead, you should explain why ...

I recommend you use other kernel with daily updates (even if they don't do anything), maybe it's what you need .. Apolo is not this kind of kernel, it wasn't and it won't be.

Sorry for this post, but I really needed to answer something ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Don't stress over that post Pedestre. There are many many users, myself included, which love your work and kernel, and are thankful for the work that you've done, and continue to do, for our S2 :) so, thank you :)

Another question [MENTION=4865573]089man[/MENTION]

WHICH kernel has still active and constant development for that over 3 years old device? I think none of the left ones but that even is not necessary in my eyes because as long as they run on actual Android everything is just fine. If you want constant development go on and get a newer device as some developers did and do (what I can understand) and I also will do in the next month ;)

Just my 2 cents ;)

I loved your kernel on neat rom,pretty please can u make an apolo kernel for latest ressurection remix and last kit kat release when u find the time,id love my battery stats back on kit kat too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
It does work on latest android (4.4.3).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] endstille:
i really like to color-settings of this Kernel (is it the same as in Dori's Kernel, right?)

i tried to "copy" it through mDNI while still using the stock kernel.

But i'm unable to do it.

Is there any change i can apply to the source, so that a self-compiled kernel (from stock cm11 repo) also shows the colors as intense?

Thank you in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alucard:
Sorry pedestre it works on resurection remix,nice!

I still have problems with notifications on version 4.4.3 like i had on 4.4.2 on Slimsaber my settings:

1) I used volume louder only for headphones in apolo configurator

2) I am using pre-defined profil for performance, battery life or balanced only

3) after some time of deep sleep or something notification soud stops working

Can you fix this bug? I am not the only one mentioning it for some days of using this kermel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
+1 mentioned it a lot, there seems to be no clue. If it's fixed I can use apolo again :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Sorry guys, no idea how to fix the issue. I've never had such issue when I used my s2. In my Spanish forum nobody complains about it, just here, maybe some strange interference with some mobile operators or modems, I don't really know
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
No such issues here as well..

[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION], the kernel performs great and stable on 4.4.3, (v1 extreme) but one issue is left, even with a better deepsleep vs. awake ratio due to new gapps maybe, the battery consumption is elevated, around 30% maybe.

I don't see a reason for that, all cpu steps do look as expected, no useless kworker in logcat or similar.

So, if you don't mind, please have a look into cyanogen kernel sources whether you find some changes or updates in comparison to 4.4.2 which could explain it.

Thank you very much in advance!

Maybe I'll make a video so you can see the problem. Will be a long one because I will show notifications work with stock, then flash, and show it doesn't work. It's not my phone only. :o

Flashed 10ths times, always the same.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I c can't see anything in cyano that justify that battery drain, but i will look it up more carefully. Doesn't it happen with stock kernel?

It's not necessary, I know what the issue is but I don't know where it comes from
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Ok:thumbup: hope someday it will. Apolo is the best kernel. Bad battery life now :o

According to rom developer it's a driver that gets changed or some weird memory setting in deep sleep that limits things. I can see my phone keeps wifi in my router.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
I'm never using stock kernel, b/c battery is always worse with it :)

But from what I've read it's worse on stock too.

Thx mate!

Is there any update for the 4.2.2 JB version?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
No, it only works on cupcake. -.-

It only takes few seconds to find out that yourself.

It does work on latest android version(4.4.3).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Nope... The latest 4.2.2 version works fine :) As 4.2.2 is outdated, then no need to update the kernel for it.

What? You totally missed the point of what he asked. And then flamed, with no need, regarding a question you misinterpreted. Please make sure you're in a good mood before posting next time ;)

Update 2:

Extreme V2 version was giving me an increased battery consumption percentage and last night it just froze!

So... I went to Regular version, with Balanced Option and I have obtained the Highest Score in Quadrant since I started to test it. :) ~3450 points!

(with kernel stock voltages, because when I decreased all of them with 25mV, what I got was a slower phone)

In conclusion, I say pass to extreme UV since it's not the best option for my device.

Anyway, [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION], thanks for your incredible work here! :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tilagoon:
Hi,

I am using NeatROM AOSP V 5.9 (4.4.3) and I am thinking to install the Apolo kernel.

In OP it is mentionned to clear the kernel before installation with Gs2KernelWipe script.

But in the thread of this script I have seen that the script is not compatible with KK :(

So is it mandatory to clean the kernel before install and if yes which script should I use ??

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Maybe op is out of date. You can use the cleaner you want, it was only an example.

Regards!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tilagoon:
Yes, thanks for a fast answer but I have no idea of what other script I could use :(

Could you recommend another one ?

Should be the saùe with the Omni version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Indurus:
I am runnign the official CM11 on my SGS2. Is there anything I should take care/be aware of or do I just have to flash the "Apolo_7.0b_CM_Regular-TWRP.zip" file in CWM? Why are there 5 different versions in the CM-Base folder? (->ExtrV0, ExtrV1, ExtrV2, Light and Regular). When I flash it via CWM-Recovery I got TWRP afterwards or is it only flashable via TWRP?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Grigster:
How do I get Busybox back to /system/xbin/, since this kernel has moved it to /sbin/ ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
yes you will get twrp afterwards, no you can flash it with your current recovery or the extracted .bin by Odin.

starting with regular it's recommended, I'm using extr V1 with no issues, v0 should work on every phone, if you wanna shorten things up, go for v0 as first.

Regards

for any other information read the op with care.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Apolo has busybox in the initramfs, so busybox comes inside sbin. It's like this and you shouldn't have any issue with it.

I am using This Apollo Regular 7.0b Kernel with resurrection-remix Kitkat 4.4.2 Build with "Ondemand governor (SLP)" But still battery life is not good..even standby time is not good as compared to other ROMS..

Can any one guide to get good battery life which runs at least 17-18 hours with normal 1 hour of wifi and 1 hour of Music use daily ,,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] russy23:
on my list on demand and slp are 2 different guvnors
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sk1887:
I confirm.

what happens is that when AdvancedDisplay is booted, the colors change.

So the color "CyanogenMod UI (Standard)" changes a shade of green. Maybe it's noticed on my phone only?

I found out that if I disable the boot receiver of that apk, the color stays normal :D :highfive:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] DualJoe:
I'm on CM11 official and 7.0b/V0 and can't get BLNWW to work either. BLN works in test mode though. I have LEDs disabled on screen-touch (maybe that's related). This also doesn't work 100%. After 5 secs (not touching) the leds go on once anyway. I've seen this behavior on SGS+ before. Seems a very old bug.

Just very minor bugs though. The kernel is stable and runs great. That's the most important thing. Thank you very much Pedestre.

Hi, I've read OP posts and i'm a bit confused. In 3rd post is "Safe procedure to restore a backups". Why it order to use CM recovery instead of this builded in Apolo kernel? It mean, this recovery is useless? Or this instruction is only if you want move 4.3<->4.4?

And second question - if i have 4.4 backup from CM recovery will it be compatible with any of revcoverys (CWM/TWRP) which go with this kernel? And is it safe to restore or in this case should i go back to CM recovery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tilagoon:
The backup's made by CWM and TWRP are not compatible.

So if you have made your initial backup with CWM and after flashing this kernel, which installs TWRP, you want to go back to your previous state you will have to flash CWM before.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
The 3rd post procedure is just for restoring backups when you want to move to a different Android base (typically to an older Android base). For my experience is safer to do it the post way, but I think with latest recovery it should work fine (I haven’t tested). Restoring backups should work fine if you want to move from 4.3 to 4.4 or from 4.4 to 4.3. The post just tries to help people with issues restoring backups in AOSP moving from one base to another.

The Apolo recovery in AOSP is TWRP , so only TWRP backups will be compatible (it doesn’t matter which kernel you used to build it). If you have a CM backup you’ll need to flash first the CM kernel and then restore your backup.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Had to restore my old stock jb backup just to check some things and somehow decided to flash the apolo while I was on it because I never did tried this kernel.Wanted to stop by to say this:

[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] - you nailed it.Apolo combined with stock jb + zzmoove's profile 9 is the fastest setup I've ever seen on S2.Being an old dorimanx's fan,I've tried everything but never achieved this UI fluidity and gaming performance.It's award-winning.

That being said,however,I'll stay on dorimanx.I love it because of its features.But who knows,maybe one day...

I'm using Apollo on Android 4.1.2 Sammy rom since yesterday and it has cured all of my major headaches!

For some reason after my I9100 was rooted it wouldn't let me install any custom kernels or custom roms. It kept giving a parse error on everything I tried to install. Ever CWM would install and then straight after a reboot it would go back to the standard recovery.

CM would install using the installer but then I had the 3G connectivity issue, and any other versions of CM also would not install.

It was bloody frustrating! I'm not new to Android or rooting as I've had and rooted 3 HTC's, 4 Samsung's and this is my 3rd S2/I9100.

I tried this Apollo kernel yesterday and everything is perfect, I even have CWM recovery.

Ao a huge thumbs up from me here.

[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION]

With Apolo configurator it is possible to adjust cpu but not gpu (frequencies up to 400 MHz and voltages), is this planned for the future?

Why was vibration setting dropped? If I adjust it in ROM settings it is very strong at 100% but after a reboot it is very weak again although it was set to 100% in ROM settings. So it seems that something from kernel overwrite these settings!?

Any suggestions?

Apolo Configurator doesn't make any changes in vibration settings, the only way to control it is in ROM settings

Ah forgive me, my memory is weak, so gpu drivers aren't with the kernel.

They are in both, in the kernel and in the ROM, but you need both working together, gpu drivers (code for the kernel) and blobs in the rom.

I spend 30mins to test several conditions and enable/disable states regarding LEDs but it doesn't want to work. Apolo configurator also crashes when i trigger some functions twice. On DorimanX kernel BLNWW works properly. Maybe it's just the Apolo configurator that doesn't work properly?
