Install of Apolo kernel

I am considering to install the Apolo kernel on NeatROM AOSP V5.8 and have few questions:

- Is the Apolo 7.0b_CM the right one ?

- Is it necessary to do a cleaning of the current kernel ?

- If yes is the script : Gs2KernelWipe (recommended in the OP of the Apolo kernel) compatible with TWRP ?

- If not compatible could you provide me with an alternative ?

Thanks in advance.

Great Rom

Hi, all.

First, thanks for this amazing ROM! Very clean, very nice and fast.

Second, is anyone else having problems when transfering files to the external SD via USB?

I am connecting my phone as a Mass Storage Device to a Windows 7 Laptop, something I did daily before, but now I find that I has a very erratic transfering start and the phone ends up freezing.

My SD is fat32.

Any suggestions or ideas?

THEORY: seems to me that the network signal is actually reading the USB transfers speeds. If I put the phone in airplane mode, the USB file finally actually works but stalls and phone ultimately freezes again.

Hope I get an answer before reverting to my backup.

Thanks!

Can I install stock dialer in this ROM? Somebody has a link?

How about clear all recents button?

Edit: what happens with notification this ROM? I'm comming from CM11 searching for stability and this ROM is rock stable. Although 365 Scores and Sofa Scores don't notify me like in CM. What can I do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twinn:
SofaScore notifications working fine here.

This is stock dialer which u get in 4.4.3.

You can clear recent apps by swiping from top and bottom same time. Yes, i know that button would be more handy, but u must ask [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION] why he changed that ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 70x7:

Battery saving apps actually eat up battery by pretending to monitoring and saving battery..use greenify instead...great app
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twinn:
If you look into settings, there is "real dark slim" switch. Turn it off and u will get white dialer (along with sms, contacts, email, playstore, youtube).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
If you use laptop, you may use convert it's WiFi adapter into a hotspot and enjoy using the apps to transfer file...For SuperBeam, receiving file in android using virtual adapter is easy but sending from android is a bit of a problem but AirDroid is good enough....

Hey, thank you. But I don't have an external SD Card. So it didn't work on my phone. Can you enable it for internal storage?

Hey, I have been facing problems with kernel wakelock namely PowerManagementService.wakelock and PowerManagementService.display and I've found that when my screen is locked and I get a call, after receiving it, if I forget to turn off the screen then this wakelock appears and prevent my phone to go on deep sleep...anybody else noticed it?

It's just the sum of partial wakelocks.

a question will i lose IMEI of the phone if i flash this??cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
Root it with philz kernel and then take the efs folder and COPY it to PC and also back it up with ktool from playstore and copy that back up to you're PC then you will be safe.

ok cheers, cant wait to try it..

Has anyone discussed Poweramp? It stops playback when screen goes off, even with the "Use Wakelock" option checked.

Hi Sale,

by "Enabled moving apps to SD" is meant physical external microSD card or the internal "SD card" partition as it was in all previous versions up to v5.0? I'd definitely prefer the internal one 'cause I don't want to use external card for a phone with 16GB of internal memory...and repartitioning doesn's solve the problem (unless you make the full repartition and internal sd card would disappear...which is impossible if I'm not wrong...).

Thanks for clarification...

AdAway on Write Protected /system Partitions

Hi,

this ROM is just perfect! I am glad to using that. The only problem I have found so far is that AdAway app does not work there due to "AdAway on Write Protected /system Partitions" problem, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2327934 . Each time after installation of this ROM I have to run symlink_hosts_to_data.zip in recovery in order to fix this problem.

So I am kindly asking whether Is there chance to incorporate this fix into this ROM ?

Thanks in advance!

BTW, I like the way the recents are listed now. Very sensible idea. You don't have to leave your current app to use it. I don't remind the double swipe too much. With this design, I think it would be hard to show the Clear button.
