Sorry, on third post most of things are outdated ... of course App default are best .. u just need to overclock if u need... and UV or OV if needed ... Also all options u'll find in actually NT_APP are working ... it's not like in the past (with my kernel) that in NT-APP many things was disabled and didn't allow to change Values ...

As u can see it'S more user-friendly now .. most unneeded features i've disabled or just set the best value directly in kernel for u guys. so that it's less confusion .. more settings - more problems ;)

Also actually there is a little trick how to enable an "hidden" UV for GPU ... u just need after reboot to tap 3 times on CM performace profiles on quick settings .. so that u're again @ "balanced" .. at this way .. the GPU Voltage is running @ 1,025V instead 1,15V :o

This will also work for "powersave" automatically ...... but on "performance" it's again 1,15V .. otherwise it's not stable.

Note:

On NT-APP usually MaliAutoBoost is enabled by default "unchecked" .. and if u've enabled this hidden UV .. and then later u'll increase MaliBoostHigh Freq higher than 400Mhz, then it'll not work stable !

So what u need to do ?? if u want to make it stable again ... (needed for higher GPU freq as 400mhz with the gov..) u just need to disable the MaliAutoBoost and enable it again ... now u can OC stable :)

Also over this menu.. u can remove the OC again .... in this case set again mali high freq 400Mhz .... then disable and enable the MaliAutoBoost .. now it works again at low voltage :)

It was really complicated thing ??? What do u think guys ??

I somebody don'T like this, i can remove it again.. or make it working maybe a bit different .. maybe i'll find an solution to make it more user-friendly ;)

ohh . thx for advice ! I've it completely forget :D

u'Re right.. right now tested .. i set everything @ min_brightness 1 in sysfs + source and brightness sysfs @ 1 .. and build.prop also @ 1 ...

and there is still no difference at all between 10 and 1.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
There is no way to set brightness lower than 10. And this isn't because of missing frameworks change, but due to hardware limitations. Backlight driver has only 32 brightness states named in sources as currentRatio. You can see relation between brightness and currentRatio in board_codina-eur.c - everything between 1/255 -- 30/255 is currentRatio=1; lower than this currentRatio=0 means backlight OFF.

Everything is fine. CWM, lockscreen and charging animation working 100% with s6d
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I don't know why but my phone goes to recovery in every reboot.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Mobile phone companys should pay Ace2nutzer and Chrono for not developing -or hire them-. Whithout your work we would have thrown away our little Samsung stock jelly bean pileup and bought a new phone.

I've tried 2015-10-05 kernel with cm11's ace2nutzer and it's amazing how smooth it runs and battery drain is ok for me.

Chrono's cm11 is also quite good. Matter of choice.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
can u pls describe a bit more precise what's going on ??

plugged or unplugged charger ... where u do reboot ? in system ? in cwm itself ??

What is also not working ??

Thx !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
10-09 kernel is even better than 10-05. Faster screen.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I'm not sure, each time I flash a new kernel I also have to install stagefright patch or do not need to do it anymore?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Each time i flash new kernels vulnerabilities stay the same in Stagefright Detector even without re-applying the patch, so i think no.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
Latest kernel and novathor 1.6.4,and im still dont see charging animation,just a circle progress then blank (black),no battery animation.and every im power off device,when i turn on,its go to cwm with plugged/not plugged the charger,so i need to reboot system now from cwm itself :( . btw the performance is too so damn smooth :D better battery too :thumbup::thumbup:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
With charger unplugged and the phone off if I turn it on it throws me to cwm. From there if i select 'reboot system now' the phone boots normally and when the system has been loaded and selected from there 'reboot now' reboot again normally. Only from 'off' state goes to cwm ...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Maybe because of j4fs/param.ko modules compiled built-in? I remember the same experience with that when I tried to compile these modules built-in, they just can't work properly that way.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Also happens to me.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
That happens to me too, power on goes to recovery

Hei there,

I have a Ace 2 (i8160) with ROM (2015.07.14) and kernel (2015.07.25).

All kernels after this one make my smartphone restarts continuously 10 seconds after boot. Always.

I've tried "wipe data" and "wipe cache partition" but result are the same. It restarts continuously.

Any idea about what is wrong?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
Remove chronokernel settings app if you have it
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] damian12332146:
For me the solution was to change the lowest CPU frequency to 400 MHz in Settings>Performance, not 200, like it was before, then install the newest version. Try it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] hector_yo:
Also for me, power on goes to recovery
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Atlante2004:
Yes, after install last kernel, power on goes to recovery also after boot.

manthes, chronokernel app is not installed.

damian12332146, I have just tried 400 Mhz but :( same result.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I have min CPU freq set to 200 MHz and no restart issues.

I had them when language was set to Italian instead and battery was below 15%.

Try charging up the phone and then set the language to English (USA). Restart issues came to a head.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Install latest kernel + latest NovaThor App in a row.. i'm sure it'll work ;)

As for CWM boot... u're right guys it really boots to cwm.. i'm sorry for this inconvenience.. but i didn't notice that since my Phone is mostly on .. or i just reboot to recovery in order to test fresh compiled kernel :)

I'll try to fix it now ... must be something in bootscript ...

btw: it's a really bad idea to increase the min- cpu freq ... it'll drain more battery ...

Also, all Powersave features are only on 200 - 400Mhz.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
It's not that great annoyance for us educated folks. The trouble would come if someone else while handling our powered off phone turned it on and accidentally ended doing bad things through CWM (such as formatting /modemfs or mass storage).

Thank you for your work. How energy efficient is the new kernel@57 against the 1005@50 for the WS2401 ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Yokurt815:
Hi, I want to update the "old" Ace II from my girlfriend. It has stock Android 4.1.2 (I8160OXXNB4) at the moment. Old data doesn't matter, I want a clean install. What do you recommend? As far a I read ext4 version? What about repartitioning?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Atlante2004:
Thank you very much. IT WORKS NOW.

I had NovaThor 1.5. That was the problem.

Now I'm using the last kernel perfectly.

Thanks again!!!!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Slightly less durable battery, but still good, in my own opinion.

New Build is Up !!

Changelog:

20151014:

MCDE: [WS2401] Adjusted LCD Freq, video.modes and delays (more smooth and faster wakeup)

Use it only with NovaThor Settings v1.6.4

Clean Build

Notes:

It's also recommended for s6d users, because of clean build.

If u don't play 2D/3D Games at all, u can save some power (up to 30%) by using 50Mhz instead 80Mhz for the LCD... (ONLY for WS2401 !!)

If so, open FileManager in root mode, and go to /system/etc/init.d and open the File 99_user and add this Line at the end of the File:

echo 6 > /sys/kernel/mcde/lcd_clk

save and reboot the Phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Matteo90:
With version 1011, lockscreen bs returned. Also battery charging indicator is working strange, it went form 98% to like 97-96-95-96-97-93 etc while charging.

Will test the new 1014 version, hopefully it won't have these bugs.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
probably the same problem ..

make sure that u don't have UV the GPU Voltage.

Then check in NT-APP "disable MaliAutoBoost" and then uncheck it again.

If u'll still have problems, just post again.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I added the line as you said but after reboot the LCD continue to work @ 80. The line works if I execute it from terminal.

Edit.. I allowed all the permissions for file user99 and now it works. For me the 50mhz is good without much tearing.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Nope... u've to wait some seconds after fresh boot ... the script doesn't execute immediately ...

Correct permissions are still:

chown root:shell

or if it doesn'T work:

chown 0:2000

and

chmod 755
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Hi!

How can I check current screen fecuency?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] greeceeeee:
I turned back on 20151011, with latest kernel the screen shows like I can't explain reduced color depth(horizontal lines on some colors)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Open the file manager with root access and open the file lcd_clk under /sys/kernel/mcde. There you can see your currect lcd frequency.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] greeceeeee:
I saw it,also i tried to change the frequency with the way which described earlier ace2nutzer but nothing changed...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Add the permission 'Others' for 'X' category for the file user99. If you dont know how to do it, hold on file then select properties/permissions.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] giginski:
when I change on 50 but Some how i wish to play in games then how can I back to 80 or i can play on 50? i can just again flash kernel then I come back to 80?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Delete the line that you had previous added on file user99 or execute the line 'echo 9 > /sys/kernel/mcde/lcd_clk' on terminal window in root mode (type 'su' for that).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
thanks for the report ! Can u pls try latest kernel with 66Mhz for LCD Clock ??

Because i believe this freq should work as well .....

I think next build will have 66Mhz ... Maybe a good choice between power consumption and performance :)

It's echo 8 > lcd_clk if somebody want to test ...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Is it possible to have complete smooth performance in 50Mhz ? Right now i use the 50 Mhz and i belive its not so bad.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Completely smooth @ 50Mhz is not possible at all .. i've tried almost every combination of video.modes. But anyway since i've adapted the video.modes .. now it's more smooth than Stock Values ... but still not perfect... perfect is only @ 80Mhz.

But as i said, @ 66Mhz works also great... but not 100% smooth.

It's really crappy LCD the WS2401 .. then only good thing is that it has better Image Quality than S6D... and faster pixel switching ... (cleaner)

For normal usage 50Mhz should be good enough .. but it laggs like hell when playing horizontal and vertical 2d games.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
But why Stock has perfect smoothness in 2D games (WS2401), since on 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 there's always problems? Some different drivers or smthn idk..?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] greeceeeee:
I tested 66Mhz on latest kernel and shows as the 57Mhz,very big difference than 80Mhz!! It needs to write echo 8 on init.d/99_user to keep this change even on reboot?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yeah, stock ROM has different Mali Driver... the main Problem is the ROM itself (the GPU Driver) .. so that we can't adapt the LCD vsync properly.

Thanks for testing, u don't need to make init.d scripts (like autostart on windows) guys.. right now i'm building new release with 66Mhz by default for WS2401 :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
New Build is Up !!

20151016:

MCDE: [WS2401] Adjusted LCD Freq at 66Mhz and video.modes @ 8

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
New kernel is smooth but ,once again, the battery wil be better if i add the echo 6 ..... on user_99 ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yes, it should save some power .. even if this is not much now from 66 @ 50 .. so probably only 15%.

But test it by yourself ... i think it's not worth.. it'll lagg maybe or even tearings during scrolling..

But as i said, try it and decide by yourself :)

Nope. 20 minutes charging from 28% to 45% with usb cable on Laptop, still on LPM.

me, but it doesn't happen allways, just sometimes
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
However, in my case D2TW is no longer working from offline charging. False. It's working.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
okay thx ! i'll check what's wrong with LPM and DT2W
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
Can you add the option to disable proximity sensor like chrono's?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
btw here on my Phone with latest kernel everything works fine ... right now i'm charging in LPM with USB Cable over my laptop USB2.0 ...

DT2W is also working, and another double tap, just turn off the screen :)

GLOBAL INFORMATION ABOUT CM11

After several attempts today in the night it was finally possible to download all the needed sources ... thanks [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] ... before i was just running out of space .. because the script just downloaded too much sources... well long story .. anyway we've it now debloated .. but it's still too much.

Actually most of things are done, but not everything... the main problem is actually that i've only 6GB free space.. so i can't start compiling, so i'll need to buy first an external HDD with 1 terabyte for USB2.0 :cowboy:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
maybe when i've some free time .. for what do u need this ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manthes:
With chrono's kernel before some time when i finished a call it takes too much time to open the screen probably because of memory and i was using a program to keep the screen on . Until now i don't have this problem with your kernel but it will be nice to have this option if it isn't a problem
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
okay, i understand. I'll keep this in mind, actually i'm just busy with CM11 ...

But keeping the screen ON during a call drains much battery .. also it can accidentally open some apps during calls.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] greeceeeee:
I think this kernel is one of the best versions!! What's your plan for cm11?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
i want to try to build fastest CM11 ever ... that means: custom Toolchain gcc5.2 instead as usual gcc4.8 or 4.9 ... and i'll try to make it working in ARM Mode instead slower MTHUMB mode, and of course i'll try to use as much as possible the optimizations flags from my kernel ... (code optimizations) also everything is compiled with latest LK4.2 and latest gcc5.2 .. of course latest python ... and now i'll download latest clang Toolchain .. everything self compiled from sources .... because i don't like to use pre-builts , because they are usually not @ latest available version ....

So in theory it should running later like hell ... :D but in practice it may can cause some problems.. because of using latest versions ... (no experimentals) because most of them are not tested if it'll work as well for android. But just let's hope that everything goes well ! :fingers-crossed:

Also i'll not apply unsafe flags.. because that will broke for sure some things .. and we've again that annoying Google Play Services FC issue ...

btw: this is the most reason why i want to build it by myself. This Time (and first time) from me even with updated cm sources :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
You're so right :o . I'm so sorry for wasting your time. I wrongly thought that DT2W with phone off would actually turn the phone on instead of just making the screen display battery percentage. It works as intended with phone on so there's no reason it wouldn't on LPM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Vexylle:
with the latest kernel i've got some huge bootloops, system starts till lockscreen-> reboot.

happend 2 times now, yesterday, did a clena instal after that. And today morning( with fresh OS)

Can't post any logs because i don't know how to do it ^^'..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
latest build with NT-APP 1.6.4 ?? This is really important ..

Yes, i need the last_kmsg after an auto reboot ... u can find in /proc/
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Vexylle:
latest nova thor settings yep.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5vMrhfmQ2WWdTBNYzg4dk8yUlU/view?usp=sharing

Here is everything with last_kmsg I've found packed into a Zip

edit: After 2h of reboots it seems like it happens when the phone trys to connect with 3g data connection

after turning data connection off with no simcard it's seems stable for now
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

Is your IMEI displayed when the sim card is inside?

To ace2nutzer: battery is so much durable (even with WiFi on) now that you got screen refresh at 66 Hz. I don't play games on the phone but screen transitions and status bar pulldown seem smooth enough. I think you should keep experimenting with video modes at 66 Hz.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
There is no way to be as durable is the 49mhz for the ws2401. The only thing that can save us is to find/create a new driver for our LCD.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] VRDRBR:
with the latest version i get "Google Play-Services has stopped" everytime i turn on the GPS. If i push ok, the Error pops up a few seconds later again and again.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
No problem at all, I used the gps today . Try to clean your cache under system/storage and also the cache partition from the recovery menu.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Okay, THX for the great report.

I'll try to reduce it on next build.. Or even fix.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Vexylle:
So I'm getting the bootloop when my phone trys to connect to the data connection, turning it off fixes the problem.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lab34:
Hi,

I don't have any problem with the last kernel. :)

Battery life seems good. No FC, no bootloop.

Just one question: is it normal that the luminosity settings cannot be controlled with a swipe on the status bar ?

I have checked the option on cm11, and I remembered it was working a few weeks ago with a previous kernel (when I discovered the feature !)

You know: when you swipe down to show the notification bar, you have that white horizontal bar. When you swipe on this white bar, the luminosity change, if the option was enabled on the settings of the status bar.

Maybe I missed something...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
It works.

Just swipe from one side to another.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Matteo90:
I've had the same problem as [MENTION=6150071]Vexylle[/MENTION] yesterday, the phone kept rebooting, even after I switched back to kernel 1005 with nt 1.6.3. The only remedy was - just like Vexylle said - to turn off 3g.

I swiched 3g back on a couple of minutes ago and it's working so far, I'll post if I start getting the reboots again.

[URL="https://mega.nz/#!9lg3nIKK!aGy3w8aV_ZaLDggsgi7_EGBdp6AxEqfC62CJnlEW3ME"]Here's last kmsg[/URL], although I'm not sure if it's of any use, as it was created recently and the reboots were happening yesterday... :confused:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lab34:
oh ok, I've just made several attempts, sometimes it works, sometimes not... maybe I'm not doing it well :o

It seems it depends on the vertical level (work better on upper level) but not sure.

not a big deal... thank you !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I installed Gravity Box just for a few things, and the most important is the bright bar shortcut. When I press for 1" Erase button, bright bar appears in the middle of the screen and I can adjust it easily.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I know what's the problem ... it's because i had undervolted the vape voltage ... just use for now an older kernel without undervolted vape .. and use proper NT-APP ... don't use older kernel with latest NT-APP ... it'll cause always problems.

OR: use latest kernel with NovaThor Settings v1.6.2.. that should work as well ! (just right combination :D )

I'll increase the vape voltage on next build ... also for NT-APP ;)

yeah it only work on status bar .. if u do it lower .. then it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
For some reason mine doesn't bootloop when i start up 3g. What's the vape voltage?
