Hi to all i'm sorry to write here for a issue

yesterday I installed this kernel and sometimes I do the mod, some succeed and others do not on the first try, now when these fail and cause FC are used to run the logcat to see where the errors are, coming to the point:since I mount this kernel I can no longer do the logcat and looking around a bit I've read that some kernel disables the ability to make precisely the logcat.

Is there anyone here who have neither heard of or knows if the kernel actually Apolo has this feature?

hallo mr. pedestre...I have successfully build kernel from your source but wifi not work...how to fix it :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
I couldn't tell you, other people have built the kernel without any issue.

Review the initramfs and rebuilt the kernel

I havent tried any other kernel. I flashed this kernel right after I flashed Alliance V9. I didn't mess around with the Apolo configerator too. I just set it at ondemand + noop. Followed bobs battery guide and thats it. Performance is very good and my phone can easily run a day .
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sharp87:
In Apollo Kernel selecting, performance profile makes ur cpu run at high rate for smooth operation without any lag (iam not talking about overclock) and Apollo kernel do not allow overclock the GPU (like u said more FPS)

In my opinion, selecting the ondemand+cfq is best for the performance and battery life too !! U can Also try Performance profile in cost of battery life if u dont like ondemand :good:

Apolo installation

Hi guys,

I have on my S2 the NeatROM and PhilZ kernel. I would like to test Apolo kernel. What is the best way to install the new Apolo kernel on my phone? Should I use some cleaning scripts or not?

And I'm not sure which version I should instal: CWM or TWRP?

Thanks in advance :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iJiB:
if you read the OP, you should know the answer already.

pedestre took some time and effort to write the OP, you should read it first before asking/posting something.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] teslax:
Really? And who are you, his father?

If you don't want help you should not write anything. Was I enough understandable??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sharp87:
You can either use cwm or twrp, but cwm is good if you choose it..

Before installation of Apollo kernel, use cleaning script mentioned in op and then flash Apollo kernel..

Warning:

Be careful in choosing Apollo kernel version, if you choose kernel which is not compatible with ur device GTI9100 you might get bootloop.. read op once again may b if I missed some info..

Try regular version first..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Go with regular version
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Come on guys!! Relax, it's Sunday. :sly:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iJiB:
Wow, you got some temper :eek:, I was just stating the obvious. It's the forum rules to do some searching before posting something.

And I did try to help you, your answer was already in the OP. (well except for which version to install, TWRP or CWM because you edited your post after I answered it :p)

OK then, let's drop this, let bygones be bygones.

Is there a way of removing the brightness levels that make it dimmer as when it's set high the colours look really washed out.wondering if I can manually get it like philz kernel brightness level but want to use apolo as the battery life is much better than Philz
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No sorry, no way but I think is better with all levels available. You can set minimum brightness to something (test it)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Changed the top 2 options but minimum brightness stays the same after clicking temporary use.or do I need to change gamma correction as that's what makes it looked washed out when set high
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
Edit: sussed it out now :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
This would be better outdoors
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zizibuba:
External light needed to increase minimum brightness? Lower value means that lower external light will increase brightness?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Exactly, with lower values, lower external light will cause the brightness increase
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
I've sussed how it works now and I'm happy with apolo in every way :)

Do you know of a better firewall and antivirus solution for Sammy Roms?

BTW: I got a tip from engloa in the NeatRom forum, that this relates to the logging, which is disabled in Apolo. He suggests turning it on again in recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
Yes, sometimes you can get better deep sleep in Regular

Some guys told us that enabling logs doesn't solve the issue but I haven't tested myself

Sadly that's true, enabling logs made no difference.

Do you know any alternative firewall / antivirus solution for NeatRom / Stock Rom?

After installing the new version the app Reddit News for free is freezing a lot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheCreat:
I upgraded very recently (4 days ago or so?) from 4.8 to 4.10, unfortunately for some reason battery use went up by quite a bit. I usually go to be with about 50-70% battery remaining (charging every night of course), even since the update the battery basically runs out. I've had to plug the phone in during the day, or I get a low battery warning as I'm about to go to bed (the 15% one). I've tried reverting my "frequency settings" (also removing boot data) to default, but no improvement. CPU Spy reports deep sleep closer to about 50-60% instead of the usual 85-95%, though there are no obviously responsible wakelocks in BBS (though there are some, but I see those often without having abysmal battery life).

Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: In case this matters, I'm on Chameleon v3.0.3

Hi pedestre

Would you be able to update the recovery to TWRP version 2.5 ??

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adguru:
Great kernel. The only missing function I feel important for battery and general usage is screen brightness curve adjustment like Siyah has.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I am sure that Back Light Notifications (BLN) will not lead to better battery life - even if it's BLN without Wakelocks (BLNWW).

If you like the BLN feature, then check BLNWW ... should be less battery power consuming than BLN with wakelock.

There is a CWM version as well.

Im getting weird battery drain. It happened to me second time at night, when phone should be in deep sleep. No WiFi, 3G, Apps i dont know whats going on, because battery time at day is great. It's look like at night battery drains to the effect of other kernels and summary is the same like on Jeboo for example. Look at "Screen 1", phone is awake all this time. Other screens are from Wakelock Detector.

With TWRP, can I go back to the previous CWM backup?

Is it possible? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] clonednull:
not while you have twrp recovery.

you either have to flash a kernel with cwm prior restoring your backup or do it via an app like onandroid / orange backup.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
Your screenshot no.3 shows that the main culprit is "1013". It's UID of mediaserver process. But TBH information you provided is not sufficient to track down a real reason of your wakelock. Mediaserver wakelock can be triggered AFAIK by many factors (eg system sounds, media apps, corrupted media files etc)

My advice is to follow pedestre's recommendation (install BetterBatteryStatts app, get proper dump file and upload it on the BBS thread).

[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION], quick question if you don't mind. Is there any interface in your kernel which makes possible to change touch frequency (in Siyah I changed this using kmemhelper binary)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bobdoblo:
Same here!

The voltages are actually higher than stock until you set it to "light":confused:

★NeatROM★ Mods ********************* Battery Guide
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedestre:
No, they are right. If you use Voltage Control (for instance) you'll see the same voltage values.

Depending on the device, system changes voltages (in JB), choosing among voltages defined in the kernel source. It seems, system tries to choose the ideal one for every device (taking into consideration internal and ARM voltages).

For each frequency, there are 8 posible voltages in the code (I call them steps). In ICS, system always chose 4th step for every frequency, but in JB it doesn't.

It happends with ARM voltages (you can see them in the configurator) and with internal voltages, so there are many possibilities

You can see ARM and Internal voltages in this pdf (it is in Spanish but I think you can understand it) : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19078986/Comparativa de Voltajes.pdf

So, it is not strange that configurator shows different values in two different devices with the same Apolo version. It simple, system has chosen a different voltage step. I recommend you don't pay too much attention to this, it is not important, indeed system try to be stable choosing different values.

I hope, I've made myself understood

Edit: values in Configurator are the 4th step in the pdf (in red)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bobdoblo:
[MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION], i don't quite understand.

This is what the voltages are set at in the 1st screen shot until i change to light and set at boot otherwise they will go back to this everytime i reboot.

2nd screen is light voltages.

So basically until you set it to light yourself you are actually overvolting the phone on some frequencies.

Many people may not adjust anything or not even have the configurator app and are unknowingly using it overvolted!

To test, press "remove boot data" and reboot phone then check.

Still getting "Sleep of death" I think...

This kernel is great! However I have FC issues using the Instagram app. I did flash the kernel wipe from CWM (I came from Philz kernel). Then flashed Apolo 4.10. And then finally wiped dalvik cache.

Anyone else experiencing this?

UPDATE:

I realized I used the outdated Kernel Wiper version so I flashed the same and the kernel as well. Now IG works fine. However SuperSU binary failed to update.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheCreat:
Unfortunately I'm still lost as to why, after updating from 4.8 to 4.10, my battery life dropped from about 36 hours to about 14-16. I've previously posted about this here (at the end of page 218).

My deep sleep percentage is usually about 85%+, at the moment it struggles to reach 50% and is frequently below that after a day (with light to medium use).

I'm currently trying to have WiFi off over the course of today, to see if that may be the cause. Were there any (significant) changes to the WiFi drivers? After I switched from stock 4.0.3 to 4.1.2 (Chameleon) I had the worst battery life as well, which turned out to be related to the (advanced) wifi-setting to be "always connected", even when the screen is off. This led me to use Apolo, as it has the not-broken WiFi driver. The only reason I'm only asking directly about this, as the symptoms are practically identical to this.

If this experiment also doesn't work out (or even if it does, actually) I'll try to flash back to 4.8 just to make really sure the problem doesn't persist and was actually caused by the update, but the timing was very suspicious as I've not changed anything for a while except that one kernel update.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robi959:
Please report here after you try 4.8 ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] durangatang:
Seems I had similar issues with the 4.10 update as well, had to go back to 4.9. Poor battery life, freezes, overheating, all while on Wi-Fi. Every update has been awesome but this one hasn't been for me unfortunately. I was running stock kernel settings on chameleon 3.0.1.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
4.10 for me has been better in everything,especially battery on wi-fi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] durangatang:
I wonder what we are doing differently then?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
When you install do u use kernel wipe script before installing the kernel then wipe both caches before rebooting phone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] durangatang:
I don't use a wipe script, I generally don't change anything so I don't think a wipe script is necessary. I sometimes wipe caches. Perhaps I will try that before flashing 4.10 again. Could that really be the issue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bodomfan:
More than likely yes,and I'd recommend the wipe script as your probably leaving scripts from previous kernel when installing 4.10 find it here http://db.tt/oRFCB5Ha
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheCreat:
Ah yes, forgot to mention that: the phone often seems quite warm, even when not in use. This is pretty expected if the CPU doesn't sleep a lot though.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] houssamt290:
But if my memory is still good. I think u must flash the script and then the kernel, and then u wipe the 2 caches and fix permissions.

To be sure

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hayth:
Yeah you're right mate, that's the same method I use. Flashing the script then kernel would suffice but I do the exact same steps u mentioned as I'm a bit of a perfectionist :P

PS: U need to remember to go through a few battery cycles before judging the battery life. I also recommended two apps that help me, ES Task Manager, which (amongst other things) allows u to choose which apps are loaded on boot, and also Greenify which hibernates chosen apps until they are manually launched :) oh and also juice defender ultimate to cut off mobile data whilst locked and only checking for updates once an hour :)

Do you have any idea ?

As far as I know, stock SMS app didn't work with bln (no led notifications) . You should use other sms application in google play.

Check bln with phone calls, emails and Whatssapp., it should work
