Guys, it also happens to me sometimes. Sometimes i just turn off the screen and wake it up to find these lines on the bottom. They stay if i keep turning off and on again with no pauses. If i let it sleep for some secs and turn it on the lines just vanish away. I doubt my screen is broken or lo quality.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Why just not reverting display wakeup delay sleep_in_delay to 50ms on WS2401? This issue is exactly what was happening to me when I tried to reduce this delay, and this is only display wakeup delay that should be that high (being compared to another ones, which I personally set to 1ms or even disabled).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
thanks for advice ! I'll check those delays again ... :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Peedy2495:

I downloaded the package via different ways. The result was always the same.

Any hints? Greets ... Peedy

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
The new kernel is great. Very good scrolling on 2d games for ws2401. I believe that Google help us on it. With latest version of play services there is not need for privacy mod anymore and in general the phone is working great. Thanks again ace2nutzer.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] greeceeeee:
Very nice work with this kernel,the only problem I have is crashing facebook app when pressing a post and starts loading a link on facebook browser.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] arroyo:
New kernel from ace2nutzer... I have not tried last 5 or 7 ones, so I decided to flash 20151027 one. After the flash I was all like:

Yep, I am impressed.

PS. PLEASE MAKE A BRICK PACKAGE KERNEL. Destroy my phone remotely or something. I would really like to replace Ace2 with something new, bigger, with weaker battery, with useless features, more lagging, but NEW. You are stopping me from throwing away the phone, that I really like. Damn you!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Well everything is great on new kernel BUT I have a few FC on internet browser . I tryied wipe cache, dalvik without any success ..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
I have also fc problem with mercury browser
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yeah finally ! Tested and works ! U can set it all @ "allow" for G:P.S. no more FC and deep sleep issue !

But i'll make anyway new CM11 .., sorry [MENTION=1638660]arroyo[/MENTION]

@ FC Apps ..

yes, that's true ! I thought my phone doesn't like me anymore .. i've also FC on stock browser after some minutes of use.

I'll start to search what is causing this...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Peedy2495:
Well, thank u for the new kernel-release:)

The Update via clockworkmod worked well.

But after changing the download-folder from sdcard1 to sdcard0 there was no success in installing any version of NovaThor Setting: "can't open package ... (bad).

I'm on clockworkmod 6.0.5.0.

Other zip-packages haven't any probs.

Cheers ... Peedy

It's strange because I have the same problem with chrono kernel 3.8.1-nodebug with ace2nutzer latest cm11.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I second this, though I think it haven't occured since the no debug version. Prior to that yes. It's only sometimes so it's a minor annoyance.

Using 3.9,I haven't found any of those lines though.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Yønn:
I also have FC using various Apps with latest kernel (20151027).

Which kernel do you recommend to use to avoid these FC and keep a relevant screen frequency ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sylvinette:
I got many FC when playing some games with 20151027, I just revert to 20151020 for now.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] arha1:
I get tons of FC, every 10 seconds. It has happened after some apps have updated... It occurs on 1014, 1020 and 1027 as well. Also, some apps have disappeared from the homescreens...

What can I do now? :(
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
If that FC are related to Google Play Services, maybe setting this on privacy helps :

Your kernel just flys on the good old trusted Ace2, thanks for this insane effort to squeeze out all the HW can do.

No problems at all here .... even with no OC.

check your configuration.. maybe u should wipe data and install everything from scratch.

We've now over 1,2GB RAM :)

Yes .... i'm building new CM11 .. but this time not based ... so it'll have latest cm sources.

ohh, sad to hear ... but strange ... because i didn't change s6d27a1 config :)

But if u can tell me with which build the problem starts again, then i can check all changes in kernel ....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] farzin.sb:
reboot even after full factory reset

hi , my ace2 ( I8160 - no NFC ) , was on kernel cm11.0_codina.nova.20141001 . as it got too slow I wanted to upgrade it to your kernel.

the recovery is cwm 6.0.5.0 ( fixed- not the temporary one 6.0.2.8 ) - and I did a complete factory reset , did format of cache and delvik cache partitions.

then installed cm-11-20150714-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip Rom file from sdcard1 , then installed ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20151104_codina.p.l.zip kernel file.

now when my phone boots , it shows the welcome screen of cyanogen , and halts and reboots.

am I doing anything wrong ? or should I use NovaThorSettings_v1.6.5.zip too ?

*********************************************************

edit : I installed the novathor settings 1.6.5 from cwm recovery , and now the phone is working :) tnx :X
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
I tried again one more time before installing today's kernel and it was ok. Maybe just bad luck? :p
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

i can do nothing, it's hardware fault, the delay for LPM is already @ "0"

If sometimes it doesn't work, then it's because your LCD is slowly dying xD

[MENTION=6067065]farzin.sb[/MENTION]

what do u think why i write always: Use it only with NovaThor Settings v1.6.5
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sylvinette:
Is zRam config activated by default?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shadow252:
I think so.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] greeceeeee:
I flashed 151104 and everything works fine!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes of course ! - even in recovery ! ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
What are these math-related sounding optimizations for?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
NEON:

FPU: (vfpv3)

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
So it basically squeezes even more juice out of the CPU without acting on the freq. Sounds promising. Very good job. By the way with today's kernel my phone is really flying, wonder if it's due to the doubled zRAM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
Maybe is my idea but could i have better mobile signal because of kernel?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
AFAIK for this you need to touch the radio, which the kernel won't.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
hmm who knows ? Why ? have u now better Signal ???

Somebody else too ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
Yes it is better but i don't know the reason
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] damian12332146:
I haven't experienced this.

The newest version is cool, my phone has never been as fast as it's now. :D I am looking forward to new buld of CM, hope it will be released soon!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Souffre:
Just wanted to thank you once again [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] ! You are doing a fu**ing great job with our phone. Each time I think to buy a new one I think to myself "Why would I buy a new phone cause there could be less features than my ace 2 and I should spend at least 200€... Why would I do such a crazy thing while I'm not rich"

Google Play Services is putting my phone on wakelocks and draining my battery overnight (it went from 79% to 14% tonight) again. I turn Keep Awake to "always ask" for a moment and i can't switch it to "Allow" or "Denied" because it keeps asking for it each fraction of second. If i put it to Denied Google Play Services keeps crashing.

PS they just started pushing version 8.3.01 . After it updated i switched Keep Awake to denied and it's no longer crashing.

Nope, it's crashing again. Re-allowed keep awake.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sylvinette:
Yes, especially with video thingy optimization.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] greeceeeee:
The sound on some games sounds strange like broken....the game runs excellent but the sound is horrible...for example mad skills motocross 2,can anyone test it?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Just checked. Same problem here.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
i don't play games really much .. so i can't say smthg.. but what about RAM usage for such problematic games ?? maybe RAM usage is really high.. and because we've now more zRam it does it mean that the CPU need to work more ... so maybe using CM Performance Profile: "Performance" can reduce or even avoid sound problems due to too low CPU Power ... don't forget that Ace2 has only dual core @ 800Mhz ... it's not an S5 with quad-core @ 2,2Ghz .... even if it just "feel" like that :D

btw: i've uploaded new build .... just updated ISL Sources from 0.14 @ 0.14.1 ..... ISL is for Graphite optimizations needed .... so it's maybe possible that the performance is slightly better now :cowboy:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Is there a way for us to limit or stop at all the zram ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
swapoff /dev/block/zram0
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
echo $NEWSIZE > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0

Skip last three steps to just disable zram.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I disabled the zram but the sound still has problems, so its nothing about zram for this.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Also with CPU @ 1100Mhz ? or even 1200Mhz ??

If yes, try to downgrade Kernel Version ... and tell me on which version (latest) is working good.

Then i can compare that working version with latest version here. ;)

EDIT: 08/11 also with sound problems ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Yes the problem exists in 8/11 too. Personal I don't care about the sound problem on that game but I prefer the responsiveness of zram absence.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
okay, if somebody else is still interesting in order to fix the sound problem, u're welcome to find out on which build the sound is ok.

as for zram: yes of course without zram it's faster... but only so long u don't do much multitasking or start to run apps or games what needs much RAM ... then u'll have bigger problems....

According to my experiences slower RAM but much RAM is better than small RAM but faster RAM. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Lastly I'm trying most LPs and KKs in this forum to find smoothest/best battery drain combination. Now I'm with AOSP J-TEAM 4.4.4 with Ace2Nutzer's kernel. It works great but camera doesn't run. Always appears the message "cannot communicate with camera". Is it solvable?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
I just notice today,with 0211 kernel(newest) the charging animation doesn't appear again,in previous build its fixed ,but i dont care :D lol coz in the newest kernel my phone in the smoothest state :thumbup:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
So it wasn't only me with 02/11 kernel :D

By the way how can i set lower zram? I want 150 mb but with chrono's method it just disabled zram (i know that i am doing something wrong but what? :p )
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Did you set $NEWSIZE? It was just an example, you can replace this with, e.g.

echo $(( 150 * 1024 * 1024 )) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
I was writing echo $150 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize.

Thanks for the explanation Chrono
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
For me on Vanir it dosen't work, can't stop it at all:confused:

swapoff /dev/block/zram0

echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset

Edit.

Whatever, perfctrl did the job.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I have zram disabled now, but I want 150 and I don't know what I' m doing wrong.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
Why u all need to disable zram? Is that give bad efect?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
just tell me on which version it's working, then i can it probably fix.

Probably because of missing how know :D

zRam usage is used dynamically and it's only used IF it's really needed.

With normal usage the system uses approx 100MB all the time.

Also limiting this to 150MB is almost useless... it'll make no big difference if u've at the end 779MB or just 629MB... both RAM sizes are simply too low :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
0211 its fixed,can zram increased?lets say 1Gb,so we have 1,6 Gb ram?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
It doesn't give bad effect, of course. Using zRam is a good idea. In my case it's just for testing & curiosity.

I don't play games at all & I mostly use it for web browsing and I avoid heavy apps, so I want to check some different settings. Each device is a different world.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
Do not repeat lies, because of lies repeat all time will be a true.

Zram block cannot expand real size of physical Ram memory, it can only help for using available Ram more effective (for multitasking example), like some other features - swap, ksm..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
The only memory problem i ever experienced is mem leaks. JB stock started lagging as hell once the memory filled up due to the leak. Once i switched to custom CM10.2 and then CM11 (first Rox's, then Ace2nutzer's) no more issues.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kuba130000:
I want to install Vanir 4.4.4 and this kernel.

I never had this kernel. It is more stable/fast than Chrono Kernel?

Can I install this kernel like this method:

-full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache)

-install Vanir 4.4.4

-install ace2nutzer kernel

-wipe data and cache?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
Of course Zram is needed for this device, I just feel the difference with on/off. And agreed about KSM, this is only wasting processor power without anything positive.

Hmm, I'm wonder about using preload in f2fs like swap partition...as f2fs has great random IO speeds.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yeah ;) Hmm i can't suggest to use the sdcard or even the eMMC as swap.. it's very painful method ...

But why u've unused /preload space at all ?? U didn't repart. ??? - My /preload size is just 64kb :laugh:

I've over 3GB on /data :)

If faster and stable: u test and post your personal experience ;)

Installation:

wipe data and format /system (if actually u've problems or u're not using any 4.4 ROM)

otherwise:

wipe cache + dalvik cache is enough ;)

Vanir

ace2nutzer kernel

latest NT-APP

reboot system

after entering in system make sure that u don't have Chrono Kernel Setting App installed ... otherwise u'll face random reboots. Also go to /system/etc/init.d and delete all scripts.

Also i suggest to delete apps cache (Settings ----> storage ---> tap on cache and confirm deleting the caches)

Enjoy ! :highfive:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
But then better to use RAW FS, formatting preload partition by mkswap command. It can't, though, exceed ~10Mb/sec for an usual sdcard of 10th class, which is anyway painfully slow(RAM speed is around 1 Gb/sec).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
Thanks all for very great explanation :thumbup: [MENTION=219528]ace[/MENTION] yes 04/11 not work too,the only working one is the 02/11 ,
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
I am using vanir+ace kernel it is much faster and smoothest, without black screen that I face with chrono kernel.

[MENTION=219528]ace[/MENTION]

But I ssn using 20/10 kernel because with latest my phone freeze randomly and yes I revert screen values as you told me.

Do you believe that big team has nothing to do with that?

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kuba130000:
Thank You very much :)

Delete this files?

Your kernel is the best on Ace II. My phone was super fast and like a railcar :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
Nop, I have vanir + ace kernel and I have that scripts
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
He doesn't know what's is inside, but looks like stock Vanir's scripts.

99_user, whatever it is, isn't executed because of 0644, change to 0755.

[MENTION=5381949]nikolas1274[/MENTION] What's your experience with battery drain on Vanir + Ace2Nutzer's? Is it more or less like CM11-Ace2Nutzer or do you think drain is higher?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
I have not use the cm11 + ace kernel so I can not tell you, but you can try by yourself to see because the battery drain is different from user to user

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
That's really weird ... the only changes are: increased zRam from 300 @ 628MB and enabled CONFIG_SCHED_SMT <<---- it's for better I/O Speed. And Maybe also recompiled Custom Toolchain with small changes.

So are u really sure that it wasn't just an case ?? Have u already tried to reproduce it ???

Hmm strange... did u check in sysfs if every Value was @ "8" ? Because as i can see according to the screenshot from Vanir .. my 99_user script doesn't have right permission to work properly .... (i'll fix) - I don't know what is big team.

Can u describe a bit more precise what is "freeze" ?? When occur this ?? After the Freeze the phone automatically reboots ??

If it reboots, post last_kmsg here .. if it just freeze: try to catch the log on sdcard (kmsg or dmesg) and then try to reproduce the "freeze" and then post this captured log here. - Maybe i can see what's wrong .... ;)

Okay then nope... yeah it's right that i didn't know that Vanir needs so much scripts.

Here on CM11 + my kernel, no one script is needed. ;)

btw: Thanks for the compliment i'm really :o :good:

Yes correct ! - But we need to mention that once an user edit this user-script .. then it's good idea to rename it to 98_user as for example ... because with an kernel update the edited script ---> 99_user will be overridden with an empty version of 99_user :o
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
I checked in sysfs, all values was 8.

When I Ann telling that the device freeze, I mean that freeze for about 10 seconds, doesn't reboot. Now I am back to 20/10 kernel, when I find some time I will try new one again, with your suggestion

Thanks
