Moving on?, im an "if it aint broke, dont fix it" type. I guess many of us are, and arent swayed by newer gadgets. So im just hoping my SGS2 will hold out for a bit longer yet. I have to say ive had less issues with mine, even with all the ROM and kernel changing than ive seen people i know with newer devices have. Besides i dont ever play games on mine, and like with the PC world, i subscribe to the theory that the only reason a lot of hardware component upgrades come about, and entice people to pay for them, is for those who need to waste hours playing games, or they simply want the latest. Im no techno-yuppie or time wasting game player, so ill probably still be sitting here with my Core 2 Duo Pc and SGS2 a year from now :) :)

Perhaps my decision to push on with my SGS2 is partly because ive just bought a new extended battery...the 4 year old one i previously used until 2 weeks ago finally started to give me less than stellar screen time...

Things are looking good so far for L on our old SGS2, so that may help me remain a luddite a little longer :)

I know that people like you will be sorely missed in this thread when they do move on!

Thanks also to [MENTION=4663860]Computoncio[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1670821]cybernetus[/MENTION] for getting us this far, your work was pivotal, along with [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] and Slim Saber, in me abandoning my stock 4.1.2 for greener pastures.

Oh, and

[MENTION=5465151]tietto12719[/MENTION]

As [MENTION=3763274]rkoby13[/MENTION] says, use his combo of ROM and Kernel, its the one i use too, stable as.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it" is what I like as well....and besides that i'm more like DIY guy who replaced AMOLED on my S-2 once and i've bought new battery as well....but it's not that it's about games playin' or that i'm a sort of gadget freak....it's about my contract that runs out at the end of December this year....and I have to renew my contract again....that means also new device....otherwise i'd stick with my S-2 till it really dies in my hands ....and my monthy bill will be the same for LG-G3 like I have now for S-2....and that's a big bonus for me.....money wise....and....did you see me anywhere telling to peeps that i'm gonna leave my lovely S-2?(Not to mention that I have 3 co-workers literaly fighting for my S-2 as is right now:D...They can't believe what i've done to my S-2...it's more fluid than Stock S-5 in their opinion and hell yeah ....they want my S-2 badly :D)

If it wouldn't be about contract....i'd still roll on with my S-2....forever.....yes....it's that good what Samsung made 5 years ago....and I doubt that they will ever achieve something like this again....:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Makes sense on the contract side of things, here in Oz if youre on a phone contract with some of the major telco's for a number of years they send you a new phone each year. But of course im a prepaid kinda guy :)

If you can get a new device and it makes financial sense, then you'd be mad not to take it. No more traitor jokes! :)

And im like you i think Samsung got it 100% right with the SGS2, and since then its been more about adding in gimmicks, and yes, i dont think they'll make another phone that has the fan or developer base the SGS2 had.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Samsung made a mess with KNOX poop[emoji90] on their newest handsets and that's bad.....I know that Samsung has awesome hardware inside but....iz seems that is becoming more APPLE like with all those closed sources thing....hence all....if not most of developers are leaving Samsung devices.....as they(devs) can't get through something that's closed source and development is at status quo because of that....

In fact....xda developers made S-2 high end device out of mid range devices with all the hacking/backporting/coding from scratch/ etc.....it'd be even better if exynos source code would be released publicly....but that won't happen in out lifetime ...#blame Samsung tag applies to everywhere where we found bugs....:(

Oh s*it....ROFL.....sorry my friend.....to see you gone....it was nice time hanging around with you backthere backthen...:D

I'm going with LG G3 this time.....if i'll have some luck and if my operator is gonna get the device very soon....they are advertising it for a while now...but apparently issues appeared out of nowhere and supply is somehow delayed.....but ....my friend....look at this...,

seems lollipop-ish S-2.....ain't it:p:p:D:D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Oh! So you did buy one, nice :D looking forward to seeing you in the slim threads! Slim team is on fire right now, it's fun to watch :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
[MENTION=3763274]rkoby13[/MENTION] : oh, you're leaving, that's sad... Who's is gonna be active on the dorimanx profile thread and share his profiles and the mind blowing battery usage screenshots and slimsaber thread as well.. !! [emoji1]

Anyway, I am still staying with the s2 for at least another year, can't really find a proper reason to buy a new phone right now.. Lollipop builds are already being built for the s2 & I don't play a lot of games, so the s2 is still perfectly fine for me, although the battery life is bothering me.. I'll probably be getting an extended battery to solve that....

Have fun with your new toy ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Yeah, what ive read about Knox makes me think twice about what brand my next handset will be. to me its a backwards step, potentially pissing off an entire dev community. I remember when i had a HTC phone and they finally unlocked their bootloader...made it much easier to tinker with, they just made you agree that you were voiding your warranty during the process and left you alone.

Ive read that people have managed to flash custom ROM's without tripping KNOX, but not custom recoveries or kernels, which to me is only half the job....and seems kind of pointless

Depending on whos making the best or next to best device when my SGS2 finally dies, or i come into some spare cash (the latter will probably happen first!), ill either go HTC, LG , Moto or Sony in that order of preference.

Samsung is looking much less attractive these days. Guess it shows we got lucky with the SGS2, even with the closed source stuff....

Maybe by the time my SGS2 dies they will have realised that KNOX is crap and stifling creativity and removed it. Ill cross my fingers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nothingman1976:
I've tried to install v005 on slimsaber by wiping cache/dalvik before appling kernel update and also after, but the result is that the phone stucks on on dorimanx logo. Now I've restored my SlimSaber backup, but what can I do if I want to retry v005 installation ?

Can this kernel be installed on the nfc version of the s2 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cOOk!e:
Just a guess but maybe a bad download? And yes it can be flashed on i9100P, been using it on mine with slimsaber wich leads to some super smooth experience [emoji106]

You could try with kernel wipe
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gamer015:
try to re-flash your ROM, gapps and v005 then wipe cache and dalvik. this same case happened to me a few times, quite annoying but I have to deal with it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fred07123:
can i use this kernel in Spirit Rom v1.7? it is stable?

what version should i use?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Grtschnk:
Genuinely stable settings?

I hope you guys don't mind that I couldn't manage to read the whole thread for a solution.

Initial problem: CM11 M12, worked pretty neat (best ROM I got so far), however it happened quite often that a defunct / zombie process wouldn't get reaped -> Crashed processes would hog CPU time and couldn't be killed. Only restart was helping

Therefore I'm trying the DorimanX Kernel... Oh boy, pan to the fire..

Problem: Lots of crashes, very poor screen responsivness. Before I start blaming the kernel: Is there any configuration that is especially stable? STweaks offers a whole tab with so called Tweaks, just wanted to ask you guys about any experience, before experimenting myself for the next hours.

After years of flashing I don't care for performance or battery life (withing reasonable limits of course), my main concern is stability. It's kind of stupid to try a heavily modded kernel for that, but the CM one also doesn't work reliably.

best regards, Grtschnk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Grtschnk:
Think I found a solution. First I tried different governors (mainly ondemand since it's considered stable), but then remembered someone mentioning ondemand goes best with SIO scheduler. Digged into that: SIO scheduler is considered the most stable one. Dorimanx default is BFQ. Changed it and so far I'm happy. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Lol....you must have missed ROW I/O scheduler and nightmare governor....eh?

I'm running it for 170 + hours w/o single glitch ...so.....I doubt that you really found solution :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Grtschnk:
Of course could also try yours, thanks! :good:

€: While it's possible to find the technical aspects of governors/schedulers, it seems hard to find good information about how this affects everyday usage..

Most posts are like: "I hv pegasusq gov and noop schedular. dunno why, just runs, lol" :/

Dumb question: which build has an Ext4 support?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cybernetus:
Yeah, with the v21 i boot with no problem.

I use the tar to flash the 9.34 and after i flash the v21 version and my phone runs without problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
so..

basically all testers that were stuck with v22 have to flash stock rom?.....do I understand you correct ?

I can flash up to v21..and boots fine:)..but I can't flash any version above?....so re-partitioning is needed ?....I didn't have time to flash any version above 22 yet....so...please enlighten me/us a bit:)

OK, time to test V25 :) 2 kernels loaded to beta storage!

full sync to SCSI drivers (from 3.11.y) that support our MMC and help in many other ways...

and revert to new commits that check the sdcard partition integrity!

so if now all will be ok, there can be only one thing!

All that had stuck kernel after install, have partition problem! some kind of CRC or error in boot sector...

Others that booted including me, dont have it... so make your conclusion.

some one will fix that check code to be more NICE... and just report that there is problem, and allow to load any way.

so i am here to read, if that helped.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] notabenem:
I understand Dorimanx is cutting-edge stuff from mainline. Can someone point me to the latest STABLE branch or commit in GIT for the 10.x version? I am about to try my luck in getting BlueZ to Dorimanx (and thus have L2CAP Bluetooth)

BTW: How does it compare to the more 'conservative' kernels out there in terms of battery/speed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
this is dorimanx's last stable build https://github.com/dorimanx/Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/tree/master-maliv3

and this one is computoncio's https://github.com/computoncio/Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/tree/master-maliv3

which one will you use? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] notabenem:
Whichever is better. I am open to suggestions. I do not want to see reboots, or battery drains :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
both of them are good IMHO..

last build from dorimanx's source was v10.43v100

and computoncio's last build was v10.44v005, he tuned lots of things, and did stuff with 3.15 linux kernel.. i think most of the ppls here has this installed, and could provide 100hrs+ uptime to prove it is stable easily even tho it's labelled beta ???? with lanchon's sdcard binary flashed into roms it's even better

however, cwm recovery is pretty outdated on both builds.. StanTRC is the recovery guy for dorimanx builds, but i don't know if the sources are made public or not on his github
[Galaxy S II Android Development] notabenem:
Thanks. This is really usefull info. So there is no TWRP recovery fork for Dorimanx? I wonder how difficult it would be to change it. I bet there are devs here who've done that. Would love to hear their opinion/get them to contribute...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
NO....sadly my operator is sooooo ducking lame that I can't believe it.....:mad: it should be here by now....device :(...but it's not yet:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
no TWRP recovery for this kernel, as i suspect there must be lots of things need to be changed to support the dualboot function, and integrated STWEAKS profiles of this kernel from the recovery..

we need [MENTION=5074262]StanTRC[/MENTION] for his thoughts.. he is the one and only recovery guy for dorimanx..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] StanTRC:
It's not so many things... but I have no time at all :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
Stan!! I'm surprised to see you.. thank you for popping by :)

so what do you think? would it be possible to implement TWRP to dorimanx without breaking it's dualboot functions?

I broke my AMOLED again guys.........i'm gonna get insane :mad:....I hate when AMOLED cracks itself like that.....so....:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] notabenem:
Take your time StanTRC. But a good advice is worth gold. Assuming I would want to start with a really simple replacement (w/o support for dual-boot) how would I start?

Say I have a working alternative kernel for S2 with TWRP 2.8.x. My assumption is that I will replace the contents of initramfs/recovery with that from the other kernel. What else would I have to check? How can I make sure that the new initramfs is actually 'compatible' with the current kernel (obviously some APIs got deprecated between the 'std', 3.0.x kernel and dorimanx's 3.1.x) yet before flashing? I'd hate to get stuck with a ROM without a working recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ckesery:
That's bad news, what did you do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Well....TBH I dropped it accidentally ....but the good part is that AMOLED below Gorilla glass is working perfectly fine....and...I have outer glass from previous purchase when I broke my screen....so....it's going to be a hell of a tough job for me to replace that glass....I have obtained heater/fan to heat up the glass and remove it nice n' slow.....but....I need amazing amount of patience with this....as i've broke it when i tryed to replace it for the first time...on the other hand....i've been notified couple of minutes ago that my new beast is coming towards me tomorrow morning.....so....I have double trouble now.....fixing my precious beloved S-2 and naturally bumping my incoming LG-G3 then rooting it...recovery ...SlimLP flashing :D
