Thanks for the quick update, AJ, but it seems that people are still having trouble hearing me after installing AOSP 4.0br. Is anyone else still having problems with calls in AOSP roms with the new update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Please try this version and see if it is fixed.

Please make sure that you follow the recommended install steps as outlined inthe OP, as there are changes in this version that absolutely require those steps be taken (voltage tables corrected, frequencies adjusted).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] artm03:
Alright, installed the kernel just posted and follow all the instructions, and my voice is coming in just fine now. Had to force a reboot at first boot, might have been just a one time occurrence, but after reboot things appear to be pretty smooth so far. Thanks a lot, AJ for all the support.

I need this to be in my participated, but have to say after you fixed topiratiko profile I had some issues getting decent numbers in antutu again that samprocat helped me out with. But as of right now might have a hard time updating to another kernel including one of yours in fear of messing with something golden. This phone is old technology and 4.0 has brought new light to mine. Will definitely be making a backup of my system sometime today. You work magic AJ thank you

Hi

I am seeing games stuttering with a the kernel version 4.3. I reverted back to 4.0 and I do not see it.. I was able to see it in subway surfers.. Anyone on Samsung Roms seeing such issue? Miui here.. Is this because we had a separate kernel for Samsung based Roms in 4.0 which is not the case in 4.3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RoCKOwNz:
You might try looking in stweaks under gpu tab make sure your voltages are at default. The defaults are listed at the top of the gpu page. I had a similar issue but in just normal use and found my step 1 voltage to be under default I jumped it up and everthing is back to normal.

AJ,

What governor is used with screen off and on a call, the normal one or the sleep one? Had poor BT voice quality on a conf call this morning via the car's hands free system and want to know which one to tweak.

Also, any clue to as to why several settings in STweaks do not stick through reboot? I persistently get the BLN timeout reverting to never from my set 5 minutes, and today I notice the memory read ahead had reverted/changed to 64k from my set 1024k.

Hi all

I am currently running 4.4 Micswap with Shostock3 and phone is smooth.

My only "problem" is that softkeys lighting setting does not work. Any voltage i try seems to have no effect on the LEDs. I have searched the forums and net and it seems that others users believe this to be a recovery or kernel issue? (ie it happened after rooting the phone and applying recovery and/or kernel)

Can someone confirm this? Is there a known workaround?

Thanks for the support for an old but new for me phone:cool:

I want this.

Cheers,

I'm here to try out a Kernel that I have heard stupidly-awesome things about, but I'm having the same issue that a few others have mentioned; changing the batt_move and charge_move values seem to have any effect, even when moved to the extreme ends of the slider.

I don't have the "Touchmove Sensitivity setting at the top of the Stweaks->Screen tab" at all.

I tried the no-mic-swap AND AOSP kernels

The no-mic-swap wouldn't boot cm10.1 (no surprise there)

The AOSP works except that it doesn't seem to register the batt_move/chrg_move changes

-any suggestions?

There are two sets of touchscreen settings in stweaks. Have you tried them both?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
two sets. of course.

Addmittedly, I had not noticed that there are two TSP types, and there is even a button to identify the type for me:o.

So I have the E-type, and changing the e-move filters definitely DOES affect the movement quality, but at the lowest setting It isn't jittery or jumpy at all, but very very slow to respond. as I increase past the default, the movement begins to respond more slowly again, so I have no easy measure of where (or whether) I should stop adjusting beyond the default setting, unless I missed another step?

This is my first run with such a tweakable kernel, I sincerely appreciate the help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I'm usually not a fan of tweaking by the seat-of-the-pants method, but this has brought me an amazingly smooth experience.

regarding the folks that are tweaking (cpu, memory or otherwise), I assume that the default settings are chosen for stability, so how do the tweaks help, and what are the risks?

and (the dreaded question) is there any sort of guide? -->> search is my friend: <<STweaks Guide>>

massive thanks AJ for this creation

Hi!

Very nice kermel. But i have a litle problem with touchscreen on charging. It's jittering/stuttering(on all v4). On v3.8 OC for Samsung there no such trouble. I tried to tune up sensibility, no result. Any other ways to solve that problem?

Thanks! And sorry for my bad English :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Man, Idk what is going on. This kernel hasn't really been giving me good battery life even after flashing Mr. Cook's wipe script. I like this kernel's performance, but the battery life I am personally getting isn't what I expected. I don't get how I am the only one. Anyone have any clue of why it is only me? I didn't do anything different; my wakelocks aren't out of control or anything, so what gives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
It is very odd that you are the only one getting this. Remember that if something affects only you then it isn't an AJK issue. Any true issue would affect everyone.

Without seeing a fresh set of BBS screenshots, no one can answer that for you.

My SII was getting almost 5 hours of screen-on time when I was using it. Anything under 4 hours of screen-on time is considered bad for AJK users.

There is absolutely no reason why using AJK will give you less battery life than any stock kernel ... unless your profile is terrible.

As with anything else, this is all useless without seeing fresh & complete BBS screenshots. Post those and we can proceed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RoCKOwNz:
I have been kinda busy lately but here is slimbean 8.1 with AJK 4.9 on default I haven't done anything haven't even loaded stweaks since I booted it up lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Because it is much more efficient than relying on cellular data for sync'ing data. And any delay in sync'ing will always result in a wakelock.

WiFi in the SII is a VERY low power draining device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
It is not my battery. Cm kernel gave me better battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
If the CM kernel works better for you then by all means use the CM kernel.

As I have already stated...post a fresh set of BBS screenshots along with some logcats and we can diagnose what is going on with your phone.

Everyone else is getting good, or great, battery life using AJK.

You've posted more than a few times that you are supposedly getting bad battery life. BUT we see no supporting screenshots or logcats....

We get it.

Post supporting info or leave it alone please.

Stupid question alert:

If i wanted my screen to NOT turn on when i get an incoming call until i turned it on, would that be the kernel or the rom that would control that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RoCKOwNz:
I have always kept WiFi on at home but I let my service go with straight talk I use talkatone for phone service. AJK has always gave me better battery and performance though seen the post about battery and I just happened to be over 3 days on default, just thought I would share I have had a few versions of AJK that my phone just didn't like much but I can assure you AJ has always been there to help with legit issues 4.9 is solid though for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Whining about battery life in a development thread is insulting unless you have data (bbs logcat). There is an AJK thread especially for user discussion of things like battery life. I'm sure AJ was just being responsive and trying to help. He's much nicer than I am.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Is it this one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Ok this is getting a bit out of hand.

First off...I am always here to help people when ever I can. I will always do what ever I can to help someone, but at times they also have to be willing to help themselves to some degree.

Finding and fixing issues are the ONLY way I can improve this kernel. It has gotten MUCH better as a result of people submitting bugs and helping resolve those issues.

Reporting an issue, any issue, is 1 thing. It is always welcomed IF you offer up a logcat & BBS screnshots - as without those no one can offer any help at all. This only needs to be done one time, as mentioned in the OP.

What is happening here is that you are reporting this "issue" more than once (and in more than 1 thread) and are offering no BBS screenshots for anyone to try to look at.

So in short, you

1) Have an issue that is affecting only you. No one else has this at all...

2) Are offering no screenshots or hard info of any sort.

3) Are reporting this "issue" more than once, and in more than 1 thread.

With hundreds of users I can guarantee that if no one else is having bad battery life on AJK then it is something you are doing in some way - whether it be a setting | an app | or what ever. Again....in case you missed it somehow...no one else is having your "issue".

This thread is for the discussion of AJK, not to troll or repeat single-user issues over & over.

Let's please treat each other with respect, and if you want assistance then post the requested screenshots & logcats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Untitled87:
Dear AJ Newkirk, your kernel is really amazing. My phone is using the mrCook room and AJK 4.8, it's very smooth. I just want to improve my battery life a bit. Should I undervolt the CPU, GPU or something like that? I'm using the default profile...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Undervolting is the worst thing ever done to a phone IMHO. It will cause nothing but problems..

Track down your wakelocks, turn down screen brightness.

If you'd do a search I made some posts some time ago with suggestions for improving battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
With all due respect, reread my post. I said I will post proof. I didn't add anything extra after that post so I would appreciate it if you didn't either...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
The PROOF is already here...

EVERY AJK user except for you is saying that AJK improved their battery life.

YOU claim that AJK makes your phone have worse battery life.

Use another kernel. Plain and simple.

Please stop thinking that XDA is your personal sounding board.... be constructive or stop posting in my threads. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I can't make you believe anything, but I think you are in a misunderstanding. I was never trying to shoot down your work. A few posts seemed that way cuz of the way you are thinking. I respect you and all the developers in this community. I stopped and you assumed I was trolling. Like I said earlier, I will be collecting stats all day tomorrow to prove to you (like you need my proof, right?) that this kernel isn't playing well with my phone. If it turns out it was a phone problem, I will apologize.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Agreed. Aj is one of the most helpful people here in the I777 section. If you look around the threads he may be the only developer left here also. So let's all please be respectful.

Now for the battery life issues-

Battery life is way to subjective to really have a "golden" answer to any issues that arise. Without providing detailed information it is impossible to provide any guidance.

Aj has put a lot of time and energy into his kernel. Saying negative things about it without any proof, or info for him to be able to fix it if the issue is kernel related is disrespectful.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
With all due respect...posting bad battery life stats will never PROVE that AJK caused it.

I was merely pointing out that if AJK caused poor battery life then you could not possibly be the only person who it affected. I'm sure you would have to agree that this makes perfect sense.

How you use AJK and/or Stweaks could cause a negative impact on battery & performance. You may very well have some profile corruption going on, or some terrible Stweaks settings that are killing your battery life. Please remember that you should never import settings from any previous version of Stweaks as the variables change with each version. We cannot tell such things from BBS screenshots unfortunately.

Please feel free to post some BBS screenshot & logcats. We can help you diagnose why you are getting bad battery life but unless you are getting significant kernel wakelocks then it is NOT caused by the kernel. I and many others have verified MANY times that AJK does not cause any significant wakelocks. We do this with each release as part of the routine alpha/beta testing that the testing team does.

As with everything else, AJK is not for everyone.

I have added a few battery saving tips to post #3 of the AJK dev thread. It is by no means definitive but it can be helpful to some people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
Yeah, sorry. I lost track of which thread I was in lol.

As you can see, discussions about battery life often don't go well. I've seen it many times. It's all so individual. AJ just added some really good tips to post 3 or 4 (this thread? Other thread? Not sure now) Anyway, I tweaked a few things at his suggestion and drastically improved my battery life. Best of luck whichever kernel you decide to use. I understand the search for even one more hour/minute tweaked out of the battery!

Experiencing SOD's on 4.9 like crazy (I'm on Shostock3). This is happening on the default settings, so there's no undervolting. Went back to 4.3 and have not had a single SOD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What exactly is SOD? Screen of death, I guess? I installed AJK 4.9 on Saturday. I was previously running SHOstock3 with the stock Jebo kernel, v1.3b. In four days, I had the phone un-responsive when I pulled it out of my pocket, just as if it was turned off, except that it would not turn on the normal way. No matter how long I would hold down the power button, it would not throw up the screen logo until I quit pressing the power button. Then it would re-boot. Is that what you mean by SOD? If so, I had the same issue on 4.9 and SHOstock3. I put the latest Jebo kernel back on the phone Tuesday night, and it's been fine since then. Just reporting the issue in case the info is helpful. I didn't do any logs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sharonbw:
How do you do a log of a SOD since by definition it means you have to reboot the phone? I had a couple with 4.9 and AoCP but more frequently I'm getting random reboots. Don't know how to get useful information...

Sent from my GT-p511x
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
I was under the impression that SOD meant sleep of death. Anyway, the issue is that when the screen turns off, you cannot turn the screen back on and wake it (as if the phone is off). This happened most often during a call when the screen turns off and when you quickly turn the screen back on after turning it off. It happened other times at random as well.
