Auto brightness kills battery ;) and I've got mine set to 100 in min brightness in build prop and it's still lower than 4.7 brightness or philz kernel that's all I'm saying,surely with it on 100 it should be as bright as stock levels
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robi959:
For me 4.8 with that brigtness is great, you get on automatic nice to read in dark room, and no problem when go outdoors, working great ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SomeFormOFhuman:
Wow it's been a while since I've been on to XDA. I'm using Apolo Kernel 4.7 and now I'm going to try 4.8.

Anyway, I can divulge this kernel is absolutely stable. Because of my absence I managed to achieve an uptime of 1294 hours ++ (Also partly, because of Greenify :p But that's still not possible without a rock stable kernel). Too bad I had to turn off and surrender my phone because I had to enter into a work restricted area. It's a ground rule over there. Ergo, my hours of uptime had been reset. :(

If there's one feature I really missed is the gamma feature from Siyah and Dorimanx kernels. I liked those two but gokhanmoral hasn't updated his kernels and Dori - well, I find his kernels aren't too stable especially the OOM settings. I am a hobbyist photographer and I personally feel the contrast and the overall screen brightness of the I9100 can be improved. With the gamma settings of +10, the overall contrast is much accurate on many photographs whilst retaining the same brightness percentage.

If there was a way to add gamma, I'd really love it. :) Nontheless kudos to this awesome kernel.

Why is everyone complaining about the brightness? I find it to be perfect. Before was to bright.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Garuxa:
I think so too. The brightness is very good in Apolo v4.8, on stock is too bright

Keep your excellent work [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION]. This is the best kernel for stock roms I've found so far.

Gran trabajo!

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robi959:
Yes brightness is great with 4.8, stock is to bright in some darker situations
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Why don't ppl use lux lite if you find it 2 bright
[Galaxy S II Android Development] takkaros:
.. why? People that find brightness too low cannot use lux or velis the same way?:p

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
I mean if the brightness levels were kept stock lux is a good brightness level chooser for people who say stock is 2 bright.or pedestre maybe you could release 2 versions 1 with stock levels and 1 with 4.8 levels

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Two brightness versions is not an option, it would be 4 different types(cwm, twrp and two brightness each) and 5uv, so 20 kernels each time I release the kernel.

I think is too much
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Most people use light or regular.light is best for deep sleep unless you could do 1 with stock brightness levels for me if not don't worry
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I'm sure many people desagree with you. No problem in building just regular and light versions, for me great, but I'm sure it's just your point of view

Hi Guys, Wish you a happy friendship day
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zizibuba:
This Lux app is simply awesome but why do I have only a few levels of brightness, 10 100 1000 and so on?

Is it kernel related or a hardware limitation?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sharp87:
Mate,

You can manually add brightness levels you want.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Aegnor:
Hi people, i finally installed this kernel because many times it gave me bootloops or freezes with hot reboot. Now i flashed new version (light) and i hope to enjoy it. I read that this is a good kernel for s2 so i tried. Spl and Row are good for light version? I read that this configuration is the best...If you have any suggestion can you explain me please? Thank you! :laugh:

[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION]

Just a quick question: Did you modify the default currents for usb charging? To me, usb charging with Apolo 4.8b seems to be on par with AC charging. Didn't run any tests so far, but it definitely looks to be more than the default 450 mA/h.

regards,

zytrel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Ys, you're right , I forgot to put it in changelog

650 mA for all conections

Thankssss
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Well, isn't that kind of dangerous for weak usb ports? IIRC the max specification for USB is 500mAh. Personally, I'd turn that one into an option with the standard sammy settings being default.

regards,

zytrel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
OK, maybe I revert it in 4.9 if you guys think it is not safe.

As far as I know most kernels use that current without any issue. I was reluctant to change it for a long time, but finally I gave up.

In my tests, it works perfectly in laptops and PCs, no issues at all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Well, personally I too always used that option with all other kernels I've used so far, and never ran into issues.

But in that rare case in which a USB port is too weak to handle the additional load, it won't show immediately, but it might eventually lead to the port taking damage in the long run.

I just don't think that any setting that even remotely might cause any harm should be enabled by default, even if it's just to protect you from being blamed by someone for frying his notebook's usb. :)

Regards,

zytrel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Maybe your are right, I'd better revert it in 4.9
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eduardogv:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eduardogv:
I know that this is NOT an Apolo kernel problem, actually it's MY old touchscreen problem. That's why this problem is not present in all the S2’s . I was asking if there is any way I can change the Batt Filter Move and the Charger Filter Move values, similar to the stweak option.

Its just that I love this kernel and it would be nice if I can change those values, is there any app or way to change them?

Thanks for the excellent job made with this kernel :)

somehow i find that my wifi detection response quite a bit slow, that it doesn't revert to 3G/H even when i'm way outside of the range of my wifi, typical scenario is when i drive out from home, the switching takes quite some long time, in some rare cases it doesn't even switch at all.

i'm on Neatrom with 4.8b extreme v2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sharp87:
Users have reported in dorimanx thread that they have connected to wifi instantly with increased downlink speed...

try using stock kernel and report back or else you can wait for the apollo v4.9 which has the updated wifi driver..

automatic, slightly lower in two minimum values,

30-60 instead

Seems smoother and faster than 4.8 awesome work pedestre :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
Sigh, for me, the brightness curve was way nicer with 4.8b. The transitions between levels were lot smoother in the dark range (below 35%).

Especially the harsh level difference at around 27% is a game breaker for me. The one is too dark, the other too bright, and unfortunately that's not something I can correct with Lux. So, guess I'll stick to 4.8b for now.

Thanks for your efforts anyways, Pedestre.

zytrel.

Regular is working fine here.I like the brightness levels on 4.9
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christian Nothing:
Sorry guys but I don't like the brightness levels on any versions cuz they are too low... [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] if you could make an option in Apolo configurator to set the brightness levels that will be awesome .

I'm a big fan of your kernel but sometimes this little thing like brightness too low makes me to switch to another one .

I tried 3rd party apps to change the settings of the brightness but after I lock the phone they are killed by my modded system and the levels come back to the ones that comes with the kernel .

I really wish that you could add this option in your Apolo configurator :thumbup::D

I liked the brightness levels in 4.8.It is higher for me in 4.9.

Maybe it needs to settle down that's why i'm experiencing battery drain.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zytrel:
I think the only option to stop the constant moaning about brightness would be to make it adjustable.

It's just impossible to please everyone with hardcoded settings.

Siyah and Dorimanx both have excellent adjustment options for both gamma and auto brightness curves. Would be awesome if those could find their way into Apolo.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Did you wipe caches after installing 4.9
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I know, that's the only way but I don't like how it works in Apolo. With time, I'll try to implement it but I can't promise anything.

If people prefer 4.8 brightness levels are what some prefer then why not stick to 4.8 for now.4.9 levels are spot on for me

It's not really the same as lux. Dims the screen to a set value, it's good for reading at night or saving battery.

I found a weird thing that i can't explain, when i swipe brightness manually to yhe maximum and then i press "auto brightness" it seems like it gets brighter :confused:

Please can anybody confirm?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
That's normal. Minimum brightness in manual mode is 10 (I called superminimum), but minimum brightnes in automatic mode is 30, so when you press automatic it goes from 10 to 30.

BTW updated mirror with 4.9.

Good Morning to everybody ¡¡ , doesn't matter if your brightness is too low or too high :eek::silly:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] houssamt290:
Yes i see what you say, but i'm not talking about minimum, i said maximum [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION] you can re-read what i said and comfirm if it's normal :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I didn't notice it because I don't usually use manual mode in maximum. It seems manual maximum is brighter than automatic. Seems like the last brightness level is not reached in automatic.

I don't know if it happends in stock kernel too, but I don't think it is something bad. You can set maximum if you needed manually.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
but, did you notice brightness low? I mean, on purpose I did the manual minimum very low (to be used at night), but rest of brightness values are really high (in fact I lower two minimum automatic levels because they seem to me really high). I can't notice that low brightness in my mobile.

There must be different screens, otherwise I can't understand this issue. Lux app seems to be a good workaround, I have to give a try to that application
[Galaxy S II Android Development] s_m_a_s_h:
I don't usually get involved in issues I am not complaining about myself or have issues with, though everyone moaning about brightness need to calm.down, if it's an issue change kernels-simples! as this kernel is great and without the constant moans (maybe they're not moans, but it's like a constant ramble on this thread) about brightness individuals need to focis on the functionality and spec of.the kernel and not the insignificant blah blah.

I understand the dev wants to appease his users hence.the 4.9 release, though come on peeps, I'm sure his time can be spent on better things then adjusting brightness levels.. or brightness related blah blah..

Just remember software is never gona be 100% perfect (even though this kernel tops all-my opinion) & certain SW is not gona be everyones cup of tea, that's why there is a choice here on xda, with the availability of talented dev's producing top notch SW, enabling users to change ROMs, Kernels etc to ones that fit individual needs.

Please stop talking about brightness, unless its making your phone nuclear, out of this world alien and thereofore a topic of interesting discussion(s).

This is a jestful rant but come on peeps.. be serious I'm sure there's a button for brightness control... somewhere...
