[MENTION=4508503]dracula8275[/MENTION] I'd say yes, though backup first and take advice from the dev and clean the phone with GS2KernelWipe (I've started doing this, good practice) before flashing the new kernel.

If all else fails then a least you can go backwards and then try another kernel version of apolo.

Goodluck.

Forgive me for this post, as it's inrelation to the galaxy google nexus.

Can I flash the v0 kernel onto the nexus? I am only asking given my fiancè has no way to backup the phone and it's having issues with a lot of functions; random dropped calls, reboots, apps not working properly etc.. yes I rooted the phone :-| weeks ago with a toolbox/kit app and installed a stock rom.. worse thing I ever did.. have had problems on it ever since.

Just don't understand why she never got a galxy S type phone in the 1st place is beyond me.

Anyway I may flash the kernel ad-hoc .. just to see what occurs )) 50-50 right..

We're on holiday atm so if it wrecks the phone I'll have yo wait abit to rectify the problem as I don't have the original kernel. Will feedback if anyone is interested.

Hi guys I just wanted to report that for me personally, Apolo 4.8 has solved the wifi drain issue for me and on the same settings as I had on PhilZ (-50 uv and uc to 1000 with ondemand) I get 4+ hours instead of 3 ish hours of screen on time. I can now leave wifi on all day every day without even thinking about the battery and with no loss in performance I am achieving battery life results that I could only dream about before!

Because Apolo does not have exfat support I had to reformat my ext SD but it was worth the effort for all the benefits.

Hi pedestre

I installed 4.8b now. I am using on %100 brightness. It is very lower according to the stock's %100. But exactly what is the ratio? For example can we say stock's %50 = apolo's %100 ? Or something like that :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hayth:
I'm using the same kernel and I have no issues. What rom u using?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ba7rani123:
Alliance Rom (XWLSS) anybody with LSS has this issue maybe ?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hayth:
Well the rom I'm using (Chameleon 3.0.3) is based on LSS so not sure if it's got anything to do with it. As a first step u might wanna try this, flash the cleaning script (link below), reflash the kernel, might as well wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions for good measure and then see how it behaves :)

APOLO 4.8 Kernel

Hi,

How do I make a CWM back and restore from recovery in this kernel (I installed "ApoloJB_4.8_Regular_TWRP.zip')

there is an unrecognized icon/button in recovery - an someone tell what this suppose to be - when pressing it, it seems to ruin the recovery menu option
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I recommend to either flash the CWM version of the kernel, or use an Online Nandroid backup app (from Play store) to do a nandroid backup on-device while phone is running normally.

In almost all nandroid backup apps, CWM based nandroid backup format is supported.

CWM version

Where can I find the CWM version -- all versions in the download link are "_TWARP"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Forget about the ROM settings.

Apolo Configurator settings will overwrite system settings.

There is an option for LED backlight > set it to Always Off.

And there is an option (in latest Apolo Configurator app) for LED backlight on touch > disable this option if it's enabled.

Hi all

I was happily running with Neatrom LSS 4.7 with Apollo 4.8b Extreme V1 and tried the above Model RIL file. However, my phone now just locks up after it has booted up with this Model RIL combination. I've flashed the XXMS2 modem back in again but it still locks up so would anyone have a RIL file whatever version was there before I started ? I have reverted back to Apollo 4.8b Light and the phone is back working again but since I would consider I lose quite a lot of battery while on wi-fi, I want to try an alternative Modem. I'm on Vodafone in Ireland so a Voda UK one should do the trick

Thanks in advance

EDIT : Got it - found a ModemRIL for XXMS2

BLN and deep sleep

I have a question regarding BLN.

I've read Apolo Configurator 3.4 Manual but there is one thing I don't understand.

I use BLN with blinking effect, set to 1 hour Notification Timeout.

It's clear to me that the phone can't enter into deep sleep when leds are blinking, but what if the timeout is set?

Let's say i'm sleeping. Someone sends me a message at 2 AM. Leds are blinking for an hour becuase they are set to 1 hour Notification Timeout. After that time they stop blinking.

Does the phone enters into deep sleep in this situation (when leds are not blinking anymore) or not?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
[MENTION=4546081]mrcheese79[/MENTION]

Yes, your phone will enter deepsleep after the timeout. Otherwise the whole purpose of having a timeout would be kind pointless, wouldn't it? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrcheese79:
[MENTION=4693859]Zytrel[/MENTION]

I thought so but I wanted to make sure. Thanks for quick answer :)

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

One more problem.

I just realized that Apolo Configurator does not load setings at boot even though I clicked Save at Boot.

All boxes I checked are checked but BLN does not work after restart until I enter Configurator and press Apply and Test.

Also, creating new Profile causes FC.

Am I doing something wrong?

P.S. It works after restart when Notification Timeout is off.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:

Best kernel so far

After 24h test I can sincerely say this is the best kernel for our device.

it's very fast, stable and battery time is great.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zizibuba:
I think that I have definitelly found a bug and it's about brightness. It happens only when I am in a dark place at which the brightness should be at minimum. If I turn off auto brightness and set it at max and after that turn on auto brightness it just stays at max.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Works fine here with no problems at all
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Are you using a stock ROM? In that case that behavior is annoying but normal (not really sure if it's supposed to be a bug or a feature).

Try the following. Turn autobrightness on. Then, in a dark room, hold your phone in a levelled horizontal position and put it under a bright light source. Wait till brightness goes up. Turn off the lightsource. Brightness should decrease.

Now do the same but hold the phone in an upright position. The display should remain bright, until you level it again AND have the sensor register some level change. Just turning it to be horizontal does not seem to be enough.

No idea what they were thinking when they implemented this, and I almost went nuts over it, thinking it was some quirk with my phone. But it turned out that a friend's S4 did the exact same thing, so I just went ahead, installed Lux Auto Brightness and stopped caring. :)

But if you ask me, stock autobrightness is very broken.

Regards,

zytrel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zizibuba:
It seems that you are right. I am on Neat ROM.

I'm using Neatrom Lite LSW (should be the latest).

Starting off with Regular Apolo 4.8b CWM, I decided to use Pagasusq and SIO using the Apolo configurator as well as setting max clock to 1000Mhz.

I've noticed a few things, firstly GPS is quite tempermental, the weather here in the UK has been very good recently, clear skies but sometimes the GPS will just sit there and not connect at all. On occasions, the GPS will drop out whilst navigating.

Secondly, navigating whilst charging will result in a super hot phone, near the back of the camera. I've never felt the phone get so hot before.

I've noticed a few other having the GPS problem too, has there been any suggestions other than to wipe the dalvik cache and cache?

After uninstalling Apolo Configurator app and removing Apolo data in recovery, have you tried to flash the kernel again?

Maybe you can get it working that way:

1. Uninstall Apolo Configurator app.

2. Boot into recovery and clear Apolo data. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache.

3. Reboot normally.

4. Flash Apolo kernel again.

5. Install Apolo Configurator app from Play store.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unaided:
Nope. Didn´t work :(. When I tried to clear Apolo data, it said something like "error, data not found" (don't remember exactly). Anyway, flashed the kernel again and installed again but still error.

That happened to me when i tried to open Configurator with apollo 4.3.

Try light version first, as it is not undervolted (with stock voltages).

I know zzmoove has been updated, but I just need to check the new version (I'm not totally sure it is better than 0.5). There's also new wifi drivers from S4, many things to be checked. I don't usually release anything without testing.

Minimum is lower, that's the idea, but I've been in the beach and with automatic brightness didn't have any problem.
