woot

a wild kernal appears :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
Is Hyper supposed to stay a higher frequency on Core 0 when you are playing music or running an app and not doing anything else and with the screen on? I'm currently set at 1836/192 and the frequency settles more at 756 on Core 0. If I set minimum to 384 then it seems to settle more on 384. I couldn't find much info on how Hyper works so I'm just wondering if this is normal.

Something went very wrong....

About an hour after installing this kernel last night I picked my phone up off the table and noticed it was in a boot loop.

I went into recovery and wiped the cache and it eventually booted to the CM-11 Welcome screen asking me my language preference.

I rebooted back to recovery to restore from my backup and (long story short), I couldn't because the partition table on my external sd card has been destroyed. I don't know what would have done that I wasn't actually using the phone at the time.

Sorry I don't have logs, but if anyone knows how to recover an sd card with no partition table i'd love to hear about it. I tried gpart/gparted with no success. I assume the partition was some kind of FAT but I don't know for sure.

Last night
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
That happened to me a short while back using A different ROM and kernel. For me, my sd card died and I sent it back under warranty.

Sucks cause you lose all the data and no way to recover but if you can warranty it,I would.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sfleury:
Ya I suspect the card has failed based on how it is behaving in my computer. I will look into warranty but I'm not very good at keeping the paperwork for such things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I'm not either, but if you know where you bought it from (online sources are usually the best as you will have an email receipt) AND you have an account with them, they MAY be nice and pull your receipt up for you. Sandisks warranty info though states that you need to have your original receipt AND the original packaging. When mine died they were happy enough with a photocopy of the receipt being emailed to them and they didn't need the original packaging.

It sucks when it does die because you lose your data and you don't know if it was due to the new stuff you were trying or simply a fluke. I've been meaning to try my new stuff again on my card (moving /data to external storage), but I'm nervous that that is what killed it. It gave me a nice performance boost (surprisingly), but I only got about 2 months before things died for me :(

Now I back up my SD cards roughly once every 2 months just in case one dies on me again. Well, unless I make no changes OR I only add stuff I can re-download easily.

Boot loop for me, using the latest Pac Man nightly...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kroniq:

Nice, new kernel. Something to play with this weekend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarandroid:
My Phone is getting about 12 to 18 hours battery life on 4.4.4 ROM's. At one time i thought battery is dead. But this is awesome :victory:. Thanks for this amazing kernel [MENTION=4193353]Emmanuel U[/MENTION].

I am following Emmanuel U's Badass (gov) w/ Deadline (sched). Clocks are 96-1350mhz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Theopsis:
Wow, thanks Emmanuel, I have followed your advice and put my phone on BadAss / Deadline / 96 / 1350 and I am experiencing a great battery life with a nice performance response !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vroomr:
Is there something in the installer script that doesn't allow this kernel to be flashed to a t989d? Or did I just have a bad download perhaps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
Did you turn off zip file verification? I had to turn it off on my t989d but it flashed after that without problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
Update is out! This update was focused on stability! This should be the best version yet to let me know how this one feels!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
Flashed it captain. no problems so far :D however when i first booted it, i got no signal so i turned on airplane mode and turned it off and that seemed to fix it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ryh2013:
Just flashed it and oc both cores to 1890mhz will try it out for a few days. Before anything over 1728 crashed, now it works!

V6 working like a charm with validus 6.0 will report back after day of use. Thanks Emmanuel u!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
V5 &V6 are boot looping. Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ryh2013:
Which ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
what ROM? And did you follow the instructions in the OP about bootloops?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] izi975:
For me it is on Carbon. But is is a bit funny. It goes into a boot loop if I have the phone plugged in. Last night it started to boot loop on v5 and I installed v6. Started to boot loop again. Unplugged my phone and rebooted. Started fine. Don't know if it's the phone, but suspect that over Rom/Kernel combination.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ryh2013:
Does android boot? Can you go to the lockscreen or home screen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
I am using frosted carbon. V6 booted fine after trying it again. I will let it settle for a few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
Lol I just installed v5 les than a week ago lol.

I'm gonna throw on v6. On hellkat I've found that dropping the GPU frequency fixed my heat issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] developer209:
I installed V6 two days ago and have seen a dramatic decrease in battery life. Now I get less than 7 hours of standby time with everything except cellular services off. Before I was getting between 12-14 hours of battery life. I'm running on the latest CM 11 nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Try another ROM, most people here do not usually have a good experience with CM11. Battery has dramatically INCREASED for me on PA 4.4.4, particularly on standby where I only get 1% drain. On screen time is normal, about 2.5 to 3 hours max. Most other users are reporting the same over on G+.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tornado15550:
V6 bootloops every time I reboot my device. I'm running PAC-ROM and I did rename framework-pac.jar to framework2.jar.

Is there any way I can send you any logs or bug reports to help you fix the issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] developer209:
Darn. I love CM but I need better battery life. Does PAC Man have fantastic battery life with this kernel?

1% per hour on standby correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tornado15550:
I think they meant Paranoid Android, not PAC-ROM. I've had slightly better battery life with this kernel on PAC, but it's unusable for me due to all the bootloops whenever I reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
I use CM and I get good battery...it depends a lot on your governor and schedule setup....what are you using
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] developer209:
Yeah I know they meant Parandoid but I was curious about PAC. I don't really like PA very much.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

What is yours? My governor is interactivex. I haven't changed the schedule setup in any way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
See the thread announcement at the top
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tornado15550:
I'm using everything stock right out of the box. No changes. What governor would yield good battery life without compromising performance too much?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] acquahdd:
Doing great with cm 11. Stock settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah Paranoid man, PAC is way too loaded and buggy IMO. Give PA a try, you won't be sorry. Just make sure you use the 6/26 build if you do and not the latest one which has some bugs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] developer209:
I tried PA for about a week and did not really like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Well a few months back before it became stable and had any real features, I didn't care much for it either. Right now it has the right balance of stability, performance and features. I've tried all the others like PAC, Carbon, etc. and while they offer pretty extras, it's those pretty extras that cause all the FCs and sluggish performance for this particular device. If I had a Nexus 5, those ROMs might be exactly what I was looking for since those devices are not legacy & have the hardware to make those kinds of ROMs fly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] developer209:
Well I tried it a little over a month ago and it was so plain without much customization options. Soo I switched back to CM, but I guess I will take your advice and give it a shot. Thank you very much :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
once again, v006 is stable on carbon 7/13. getting at least 13 hours on an almost three year old battery that wasn't doing so well. the badass/deadline mix is pretty impressive. cheers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] developer209:
Well I didn't switch Roms like I had planned but instead decided to change the io scheduler to CFQ and the governor to ondemand. I read up before I chose this combination. I want the CPU to be the bare minimum it can be depending on the task I am performing(I don't want any lag either). This combination is supposed to give me be able to give me great performance while giving me the bast battery life. Was this in reality a good combination or am I mistaken.

Battery life is much much better. On standby, I averaged about 1% per 45 minutes. I was able to score 10 hours with the major battery drainers being the 2.5 hours of screen on time as well as the 2h worth of calling. Not to shabby if I may so myself. Google play services also accounted 20% of battery drain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danrodz:
Running v6 on latest PA ROM. Virtually no issues. Only strange thing that has come up is if the phone forcibly shuts down due to low battery it is a real bear to get it back on. The phone will boot loop unless you let it charge for a while turned off. Otherwise no issues!

that's a battery voltage problem, I would suggest getting the Anker 2200mah batter of amazon for $12

Flashed OK

I just flashed this Kernel. Took several reboots before it came up. I was getting a bit nervous but i read it was common the first time. What in the world was it doing to cause the restarts? So far OK. I'm running on the latest Carbon Nightly 4.4.4. BTW, the downloads link at the top of this thread only has links for WildKernel 01 and 002, but goo.im has the;latest. Thanks all.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fdavila17:
Well i cant get it to work... Guess the kernel doesnt like my phone... Im on carbon too and the phone keeps restarting and after it came up and i was setting it up and it freezes up and wouldnt even reboot... It just stays black screen... Crazy huh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigtom624:
I am having the same exact problem flashing Wild Kernel 006 on Validus 6.0. All phones are different so that is probably the problem. I can flash Wild Kernel 003 with no problems at all though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brandypuff:
I'm going to need to regress back to the Carbon kernel. I set my lock screen to PIN and set it to immediately lock with the power button. It froze and i couldn't wake it up. had to reboot and then it went into the multiple reboot cycle but finally came up. I thouht the multiple reboots were only supposed to happen once. I was hoping this kernel woudl resolve th eproblems i am having with my phone going into slep mode and taking a really long time to wake up. It seems to only be a problem when i have a lock screen set though. But not totally sure. I'm almost ready to go back to stock as much as i hate to. I have the Hercules T-Mobite T989 and running the latest Carbon 4.4.4 ROM.

James
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
that precise issue of the phone taking too long to wake up seems to be stock kernel problem on carbon. you're the third person that's mentioned that along with me, but i'm not sure if carbon is doing anything about it; i did bring it up, though, and is why i switched to this kernel. i guess you can try a clean flash and see how that goes. v006 works fine for me on carbon 7/13. i haven't flashed a new nightly because it's not worth the change.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brandypuff:
Are you using a PIN lockscreen? If not, could you try it to see if you have a problem?

James
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
i was using a PIN lockscreen when I had the issue. no matter what i did nothing would speed up the phone unless a custom kernel was installed. if you check the performance tab, if there are any funky values there it's probably the stock kernel having a bug. i gave up and just flashed wild to avoid this massive headache. i used to have this issue back in the JB days, too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brandypuff:
Great, i though WK would help but it appears i have the same problem. If it is the Kernel, then i can't use Cyanogen either since i think Carbon uses the same Kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
hey, did you try a clean flash by any chance? or was it a dirty one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brandypuff:
The kernel or the ROM? I clean flashed the ROM but Dirty flashed the Kernel as in I only deleted Cache and Dalvik.

How do I clean flash the Kernel if that is what you mean.

James
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
"There is NO need to clear caches, kernel installer handles everything. Just flash and reboot."

the OP states that, so i'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to do it again. someone else had reported that manually cleaning the caches caused an issue as opposed to not doing so. if the ROM was clean flashed, though, i'm not really sure what else can be causing the issues you are experiencing unless it is the ROM. it is v006, right? there might be a kernel and ROM problem going on -- depends on the ROM date -- i am on the 7/13 carbon build with no issues, which is the one you're on, too? (i really hate this stupid 2 minute restriction to fix my damn post.)

For this device all kernels are based on cm.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
nightly build 07/18? What are you referring too? Also that is a rom problem

What is your gov/sched setup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
just had an RR with v5 on HellKat. HellKat is outdated (back in March was the last update), so going to jump to a new ROM soon, but want to get a nice DD to roll back to in case I don't like the new one I change to. So want to throw v6 on today sometime then do a nandroid and call this my current DD and migrate away from HellKat. I just hate reinstalling all my apps and sms and all that fun stuff. But all it takes is 1 quiet evening and I can do that... anything I miss isn't anything I needed.

From reading my log, it looks like the problem was due to an out of memory exception which ended up generating an infinite loop and thus a kernel panic:

Exception thrown (Ljava/lang/OutOfMemoryError;) while throwing internal exception (Ljava/lang/OutOfMemoryError;)

phone booted itself back up nicely, but the last_kmsg file is useless as it doesn't seem to even notice the crash. From reading that log it looks like it likely isn't even being updated properly as it is telling my my fuelgage soc value is 53% but my battery is full. Thinking the file is being overwritten on boot as the date/time of the file is the time the phone rebooted, but I don't get those values.

Thinking this is more of a ROM issue than a Kernel issue as I've seen RR's with this ROM more than with other ROMs I poked at.

I also noticed in v5, if I use Trickster MOD, I can no longer look at the voltage tables. Is this intentional that voltage tables are not viewable in Trickster MOD or is this a "bug" in v5 or are the voltage tables locked so people don't muck around with them and cause issues.

I can confirm this is happening on reboot for me, have to set the max back to 1674 max after each boot despite having that set at boot. Thanks for pointing that out or I wouldn't have checked.

Edit: next reboot everything stayed just as I set it. I'm back to using Trickster again too so maybe that made a difference. For a couple hours the min/max hasn't changed while using the phone either.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
nice to see the voltage control back. I haven't flashed v007 yet, but it is on my radar for today. I had noticed a few issues with weird rebooting and odd charging on v005 and v006, so I am excited to try v007. Then going to nandroid and swap some ROMs around. I like my ROM, but it is getting stale and my machine just isn't beefy enough to do ROM builds. I tried, but it takes over 10 hours to build a single ROM. Now I just gotta figure out who I want to run with this.

WildKernel isn't reliant on CM based ROMs, correct? it should work with an AOKP or AOSP ROM, right?
