Hi [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] thanks for all your work on another great kernel and for all the effort translating CWM for us who can't read Spanish!

I don't mean to ask you to keep trying with the exFat, I completely understand that it's much harder than it looks but if you're interested there have been some promising leads over on this thread with a recent post by PhilZ over on XDA. You may have already seen it in which case feel free to delete this post. Thanks again!

Hi! As much as I undersand the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script is written for ICS and I haven´t found a jb version so far. The best kernel cleaner IMO is Hawkers GS2Kernelwipe, http://d-h.st/Hh1 , written for latest Kernels ...

I had strange things happen with Apolo 4.7, in the beginning. Then i flashed GS2Kernelwipe, then Phils latest kernel, then GS2Kernelwipe again, then Apolo 4.7 light and voilá, everything just fine. For about two weeks not the slightest issue. Maybe a little exagerating, but ...:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Placebo effect, anyone?

I've never used a cleaning script. I flash a kernel every other week, and not once I encountered a problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] egps2:
I think it's an issue of avoiding potential issues rather than actually causing direct improvements. If an old kernel left no junk or issues behind then I see no real reason why the performance of the next kernel should suffer significantly. I have also never used a cleaning script and have never suffered because of it but others might need to depending on their unique situation.

Have a great day :)

You can use the last version of Cross Breeder 6.23.13V2, it is outstanding when it comes to battery life and deep sleep:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37062006

Download both files (CB & Uninstall) and flash CB via TWRP/CWM and you will get extra performance and battery life :):thumbup:

Apolo 4.8 and CB is a real killer combo..

Thanks Pedestre for your new release.. It really rocks :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::D

O.k. - so flashed the Apollo 4.8 light kernel, rebooted into recovery but I didn't find anything pointing to anything even remotely to like what you wrote me about Apollo Extras or Remove Apollo Data.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Have you flashed the CWM or TWRP version of the kernel?

The described function is only in CWM version AFAIK.

Sorry ... I thought that you have flashed CWM version of Apolo v4.8 light.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rogers11:
Don't think that it is just a feeling. I've flashed 4.7 again and the screen isn't as dark as with 4.8. Really :)

I can say the same - screen is a bit darker than it was on 4.7 (auto brightness)...

I am using alliance rom v8 with apolo light 4.8 twrp and when I reboot or turn off my device, the battery drops to 12% or so. What could be causing this ?, for some reason it happens only with twrp recoveries, if i have cwm based kernel this doesnt happen much

Hi.why , my wifi dont work in apolo 4.7 extreme v2 and apolo 4.8 extreme v2?

Other version not test by me.i want apolo extreme v2.

Why pedestre?

My rom biftor V9 XWLSS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Probably because your phone can't handle the undervolting. Try the regular version first and really try each version for a couple of days before switching to a lower volted version.

Ps, my phone can handle V2, but on V0 it runs just this bit smoother, and battery is fine on V0 too. So lower isn't always better.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] roozbeh158:
Thank you for answer me, but in version 4.6 extreme v2 wifi working perfectly but in 4.7 & 4.8 ex v2 not working.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] myszonokr:
So go back to 4.6. If you do not want to try other version. Since 4.7 New Wi-Fi drivers are implemented.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluepratham:
Tried 4.7 as my first apolo kernel, n became a huuge fan :D

I wanted lower gamma and pedestre provided that in 4.8! :D

Can I just ask for one more thing? Can we get headphone amplifier? The way it is in siyah n dori kernel?

A huuge thanks to pedestre for wat he has given
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zizibuba:
You are a huge fan!? How do you eat and do stuff? :DDD Sorry, I couldn't help it. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ba7rani123:
So thats why... I felt gamma was very low

I think there should be an option in apolo configurator
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
an option for what? gamma or sound?

anyway, you're wrong in both ways :P

pedestre setted down the gamma inside the kernel, we can't change it from the configurator.

and about sound.. he's still waiting to put sound boost inside the kernel :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Roz3buD:
Hello all

First of all, thank you [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] for this awesome kernel.

One question though : do I need to reflash CrossBreeder after updating the kernel to 4.8 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I'll try to fix it in the next Apolo release,

but I'm not going to release a new version just for this issue because it is not a really important issue. You can backup your efs easily with root explorer for example.

No
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kswiss86:
hi pedestre,

thx for the Kernel. Have you checked why the brightness Level is different on 4.8 as on 4.7 as some Users say?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
Please read OP and the last few pages.

It's a new feature of Apolo 4.8
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I don't notice any change in automatic (besides nothing justify that) but there are some changes in manual mode (more levels)

BTW: Maybe tomorrow (if I have time this afternoon), I will re-upload 4.8 CWM fixing some bugs:

Text chart : "Volver"

Backup and restore efs

BLN test

I think I restored CWM initramfs in the last moment (because I had to, due a compiling error) and some of this problems come from that
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kai Disobey:
I can confirm that auto brightness seems a little bit lower.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kswiss86:
i already have read that and pedestre already said that he has nothing changed in the automatic brightness but if you read the Thread some mates noticed that anyway that 4.8 a little bit darker. Sounds really strange...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omnia-one4all:
Lower brightness on auto but just perfect for my phone. I have built in screen saving on and that might be it, but it has always been on.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
A lot of questions regarding EFS Backup and CWM backups. Are there really so many people still using CWM/TWRP to back stuff up? Since I discovered OBackup (or Onandroid, same script) I think I haven't used CWM or TWRP anymore. The ease of backing up the parts you choose in a way you choose, without having to reboot your phone, I love it.

Apparently it saves battery I thought it was crap tbh

Onto second cycle of 4.8 battery improving already :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ba7rani123:
Any reply pedestre ? Or what could be causing this ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I don't know, it happens since always (in ICS happened too but less than in JB) specially when you have flashed a new version. I happens in CWM version too, not only in TWRP.

It doesn't happen if you have plugged in your mobile when rebooting and usually (not always) the initial battery level is back if you reboot the phone plugged after the dropping (if you enter into the recovery is esasier to recover your initial level, but the important point is that your phone is plugged in)

BTW: CWM version re-uploaded, I have named it 4.8b

Fixed:

- "Volver" text in English is gone :good:

- EFS backup and restore (I hope so)

- BLN test working

Hahaha :p, I like the idea of having to recoveries since our device doesnt have a seperate recovery.img like newer devices

How about a dual boot version ? Have you considered it ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes I did, but I think is not good for stability and introduces a lot of problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Besides, Apolo is primarily created for stock roms. Nearly all stock roms use /preload for the system apps. And thus dual booting is not possible, since that uses /preload also!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ba7rani123:
If not then how did GM make a dual boot kernel on the s3, I dnt know how he implemented it though
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dampierre:
First of all, i havent seen a kernel that gave me this much battery time. I just got 5 hours of screen on time. It is just unbeliveable. But i am sure that there is a major bug with Wifi driver. It seems connected but i cannot enter any web site. This hppens alot. I am using 4.8 extremev0 trwp. I think you should revert the wifi driver to the original one.

Thanks a lot for this amazing kernel. I hope you will fix this issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Don't think so, there may be some devices or routers with this issue (as far as some of you told us ) but most of people don't have it. My wifi never worked so well in jb, so, I'm sorry, but these new drivers will keep being Apolo drivers.

If you need the old drivers you should use 4.6 or other kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dampierre:
For example, one of dorimanx's and gokhanmoral's aim was to make a bug free kernel for everyone. I think if more than one user face with this wifi problem, it should be fixed.

BTW, I really wonder that what is the difference between extremeV0, V1 and V2. There is no info about the difference, or I tried to find it, but I could not.

My "mixed" usage is a very light usage, but in comparison to other kernels on my phone (under same conditions), Apolo v4.8b has best battery life so far.

And I'm using light version with light voltage settings.

Seems to be very effective for my light usage.

Pedestre, I have to thank you again for this excellent kernel.

Hi [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] can we change voltage of gpu ? On dorimanx kernel my gpu voltage values were 800 850 900 950 950. Mybe i can -100mV uv instead of your default -50 mV.

And i wanna ask a basic question. At OP, you said -50 mV ARM and internals. What do u mean ARM and internals ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No, in Apolo you can't change cpu steps , gpu steps or undervolting gpu . They cause a lot of stability issues,so I decided not to implement them. Besides what you win is almost nothing according to my own tests.

ARM (processor) and internal voltages are different types of voltages present in our device. You can UV both, but user can only set ARM voltages.
