[MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] when you say "more responsive", what do you mean? I thought the responsiveness depends also on the governor... and how do you define "stability"? I only had freezes with Linaro 4.9. And with Linaro 4.8 after reverting from 4.9. Maybe its because of some kind of error. I will have to clean install i think.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
When I say more responsive, I mean the overall snappiness when I open and close apps. When testing the toolchains, some behaved better than others. There isn't too much of a different when switching between toolchains. I would define stability having minimal or no crashes or freezing as possible. Some people reported crashing on home launcher when using UBER toolchain, and so I implemented Linaro 4.9 as a fix. Linaro 4.8 seems to be the best in all categories (battery, responsiveness and stability), but I think it is a bit outdated (in real world, newer toolchains will have little or no improvement over older ones). I'm still in the process of comparing :)

[MENTION=4699854]j1gga84[/MENTION], I'll try sabermod and report findings.

gsstudios.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
That will be a big job to do. I think 3.4.X or 3.10.x stable is more doable, but still not worth the time investing.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
I think you don't need to use the newest toolchain for our oldie S2 because a new toolchain on an old device could possibly also be contraproductive, what do you think?

regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
I find that statement quite true. However, I've noticed that Linaro 4.8 brings back the screen delay on screen call. I believed it was solved in UBER 4.8 toolchain. Didn't affect the 4.9 toolchains.

Allright, this is the 4th time my phone gets stuck on DorimanX bootscreen (regardless what version I'm using) and I don't know what's causing it.

I occurs at random, mostly when my battery dies completely or I remove the battery while the phone is turned on.

Using Kernel_Wipe.zip and Reflashing the kernel does not fix the problem

Changing the kernel does not fix the problem

Reflashing the ROM fixes the problem

[MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] would you please throw a light on that case? Can you explain why is this happening? Can you fix it so it doesn't happen anymore?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Could you provide logs?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psydex:
Sure! Just let me know where should I enable them and where should I look for them after and next time this happens (and I'm sure it will) - I'll provide the log files.

Or perhaps if logging is enabled by default - I could pull off the logs right now for you?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
I noticed the same but I thought all the time that my phone has a hardware damage.

Sometimes, out of nothing, I could not restart my phone and I don't know why.. I had to reflash the ROM also or wipe data..

But if this happens, how could a logcat been provided?

I've built v027 last night and battery tests look better. Will be moving back to stock 4.1.2 jelly bean, so I guess no more builds for kitkat. Screen off drainage is excellent, screen on drainage seems similar to linaro 4.8.

gsstudios.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
[MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION]

why do you want to move back to 4.1.2 ?

JB is totally outdated and there are a lot of security issues I guess.

Ok, battery will be better on 4.1.2 stock but I don't know if it is really worth!?

For me it is important to come over the day with one charge and normally that is the case, if I need battery for 2 days I take a charger or battery pack with me, no problem ;)

Nevertheless I will upgrade to Galaxy S5 soon and will keep my good old S2 with 4.4.4 as my backup device :good:

Very sorry that you want to quit development :(

Only for KK or also for LP?

Today I had again this strange issue, I don't know if it is the same problem [MENTION=4972805]psydex[/MENTION] had a couple of times..

I rebooted my device (because boot into recovery does not work in CM11 by Markox89) and go to recovery, flashed newest playstore by Archangel of tbo team and when I want to reboot the screen hung at dorimanx logo for about one minute, device rebooted and seems to boot normal. I entered my PIN and then the "welcome to cyanogenmod" screen appears :confused:

I have to enter (or skip) the data, set time and then I launcher starts. Everything seems to be ok BUT the device was very unresponsive and hot on the back.. In greenify I saw that a lot of apps started. It took me a long time but I was able to open 3C Toolbox and there I saw that ALL apps were on autostart, alltough I disabled it after setting up my system. So that means something resetted this settings and after this reboot ALL my apps tried to start.. when I checked settings - apps - currently running apps, the list was full of apps and RAM was very low.. After a long time AND charging my battery over 50% I could disable the autostart of nearly all the apps that started before.. I had that issue 3 or 4 times before and I don't know if it is kernel or ROM related or if my hardware has a problem..

What I know is, that this happened all the times with low battery (about around 10% left)..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] OlMightyG:
whaaat? thats sad. I thought 4.4.4 will be the version to go with for a long time. will test the new version soon with a clean install.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ajrajr155:
Maybe its just in my phone but when I have some random freeze my phone turn off.

AND there is sound like knocks from the back (not from the speaker). :what:

This happens only with the dorimanx kernel

(if I have freeze with another kernel I don't have the knock sound).

So if anyone of you who his phone freeze sometimes take your phone and put it next to your ear and check if you have that knock sound. But to hear that you need to be very quite

It is not just your phone, it just the cpu s finishing the boot sequence. You can feel it all the time after the optimization of Android is done from flashing a rom or just a reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DroidNforcer:
I Know what you mean. On mine is a loud noise like high electric current getting cut or a person walking fast on woodden floor if you got good imagination. Its not normal and the phone is freezed.

But its not new. The first time it happened to me was a coupple of years ago when dorimanx kernel was siyah kernel (sort of). That was the first custom kernel I had flashed and using hdmi out when happened and recently too but happens like once or twise a year. I always use heavy Under volting on both cpu and gpu so I suppose it due to that possibly and when using some audio/video too maybe.

Regards.

Attention:

I would not use the last few builds because it has some problems.

I cannot explain exactly what it is but very often, when I go to recovery and flash a zip file (for example inverted youtube, playstore or something like that) the phone does not start anymore.. I flashed youtube, tried to reboot, it rebooted BUT wifi does not work, then I want to reboot again and nothing.. Dorimanx Screen appears and nothing happens. you can wipe cache, flash another kernel, re-install your ROM, everything does not work, only a clean install or wiping data helps but that is VERY annoying :(

I had this several times not and I don't think that it is ROM or hardware related.. I will move to Galaxy S5 soon but I want to keep my S2 as a backup device, like many others I think.. I don't know whats the problem.. Older builds does not have this issues.. I don't want to blame your work [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] but I think this is an important information..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Maybe it's because you dirty flashed the ROM and/or kernel? :confused:

I fully wiped everything and install SlimSaber and latest Dori kernel from scratch and I flashed some zips (SuperSU, L Speed, and some private apps) and all works fine on my side. Although, if it does anything, whenever I flash something, I always Wipe Cache/Dalvik, juuust to make me feel comfty, I guess... :eek:

:D :) ;) :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
Hmm,

normally not, I always do a fullwipe before flashing a ROM :confused:

Maybe latest CM11 by markox89 is the Culprit. Before CM (normally I don't like CM) I had also installed SlimSaber and no problems there as far as I can remember, only skype was not working but I use skype very much..

With Dori installed I can also not reboot to recovery, with stock kernel it works.. the "rebooting" message appears but after about one minute the phone just restarts..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Try using SlimKernel's TWRP (2.7.1.0 afaik), and do your business there. I have issues when I flash ROMs with CWM or latest TWRP (2.8.7.0)...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
I'm going to do a build from scratch. That means a lot of useless changes will be deleted and all of the important ones will be kept. This should improve the stability of this kernel even further. (No more tripndroid, fiops, custom profiles 1, 2, 3, etc). I should be able to release a build by next week.

Can't wait :D

Installed this kernel along with Slimsaber and working fine - overnight 0.5%/h battery consumption with data and 3G enabled.

If I flash a new ROM build, which comes with its own kernel, then flash your kernel again (from TWRP right after), the settings will be kept? I saved them in the STweaks panels (BACKUP button) but not sure where did they go :confused:

Should I complete a reboot and restore them from the "RESTORE" button or can I restore them directly from TWRP?

Tnx :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DroidNforcer:
Restore it from within STweaks, but first change to the profile you were using.

If you were using battery or performance, first select it, when finished click restore.

I've been away from development for a while now. So I decided to make a build that removes pretty much all unnecessary commits such as the custom profiles and more tweaks to GPU. Overall, the kernel should be much more stable. This might be the last build ever (this time for real) before I have my exams (in 1 month time). Thanks guys for your support!!!! :)

On the latest version. Does anyone using ZRam got freezes? I am using 400MB ZRam and swappiness set to 60~100 and I got freezes... :(

:D :) ;) :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] orsonbear:
400 MB of zram is too huge for a i9100. Zram is like a compressed hard disk in ram where apps and datas remains stored but not usable, to use it the system must decompress it in normal ram and this require too ram to works well on a i9100. Try 200 MB of Zram or, maybe better, nothing at all!

In LP ROM, preferably on DU ROM, [MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION] has set 2 default values for ZRam size, which is 256MB or 512MB, and they work fine, heck, they even work better! Without reboots, I say... So... Yeah... I'm going on a safer size here...

Just discovered this custom dorimanx kernel, will try soon!

At the moment i'm using Gustavo's kernel on a 4.4.4 rom but i experience random soft reboots here and then, on opening apps or switching windows (it often happens when going from main Whatsapp window to single conversation window).

I examined the logs and the crashes seem related to Surfaceflinger process corruption [ libc: heap corruption detected by dlfree ; Fatal signal 6 (SIGABRT) ... thread (surfaceflinger) ] and searching the web i found it might be related to GPU driver. I will try this kernel to see if i get more stability regarding this particular issue i have.

Hi,

something unexpected happened here: used the v27 release for more than a month (s2 with Slimsaber 4.4.4), tuned, found the limits of my HW but after that no problem whatsoever.

Until this morning, doing just a reboot after changing some build.prop parameters and the device is stuck with a black screen, just after the kernel splashscreen :crying:

Whats could have happened? I flashed the updated version from september, but now the boot process hangs with the static firmware bootscreen.. suggestions? :confused: ..tnx!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultravy:
Enter in recovery, reset your profile to default and see if works! if not, try to wipe cache and dalvik cache - last if not works wipe all (include data)! something went wrong with your build.prop! if you have a backup you can restore it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] camp0s:
Hi! it was the build.prop file :(

I edited it on my pc via samba share on the phone, not only it screwed up the file permissions, but also managed not to save it at all (0 byte size).

Anyway, I used this small guide to get it working:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927198

Just enter recovery, connect the phone to USB and "adb shell" it. You might need to mount system partition before while in the recovery boot, then go to system and "chmod 644 build.prop".

If the file has "0 byte" size.. just pull it from the ROM zip file and "adb push build.prop /system", then chmod it.

The only safe place to edit build.prop is on the phone! Sure, I learned quite few (must to know) tricks now :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultravy:
It good that you solve it! Always make a backup, before you do any modifications!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
Sorry for the question, but I just installed the v024 with SlimSaber and now my sdcard does not mount anymore. First thought that it's maybe an issue with the filesystem format. But I can see the internal sdcard in recovery and can install zips from there. So if it were formatted in ext4 it would not show up in recovery either, right? So it must be something else?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Sorry for that, you can mount sdcard from recovery or not? if no, then if you want of curse, format your sdcard and set it at default format.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
When I select "install zip" in recovery the sdcard is already mounted. So no need to manually mount it. I reflashed the previous kernel from dorimanx recovery and now the sdcard is properly mounted in Slim as well. But when I install Dori, the sdcard is only visible in recovery but not in the booted ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Just mount it again to see if this was the problem as well. Well, did you fixed it by flashed again the kernel?/
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
Flashing the apollo kernel fixed the problem. Flashed dorimanx again and the sdcard is gone again.

I can see the sdcard in dorimanx recovery but it is gone once I have booted into the ROM.

So somehow the kernel will recognize the sdcard in recovery but either the ROM or the kernel will not recognize it once the ROM has booted.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
I would guess your SD is formatted with an ext4 fs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
but if the dori kernel does not support ext4, why is it properly mounted in recovery? would that not also affect recovery? is there a way of checking the file format without adb?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Ext4 was only half implemented into dorimanx kernel, and i don't blame dorimanx and the other developers for this. For some reason mounting works properly in recovery, but not in rom as you said. I've looked at the kernel scripts but was unable to see an obvious problem in code.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
Maybe things have changed, but ext4 is the first filesystem format I have tried that allows larger than 4GB files AND most importantly, does not lead to corruption. I haven't used a dori kernel in months now, but when I last did, I tried ext2 and fat32 and with both I had filesystem corruptions and lost data. Quite a few people did back then.

Is this fixed? Is there a safe filesystem format other than ext4?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Honestly, the safe option on our s2 is to select default format. this is what i do and i never faced any sdcard/internal issues stuff.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
some recoveries do not say "default", so which format is the default? ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
For the SD it should be vfat (fat32)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
The default file system is vfat. As what [MENTION=6560258]the.gangster[/MENTION] said, vfat is the default file system for SD storage. ext4 is the default file system for /data, /cache, /system partitions.

I think there is a bug in stweaks or its in the kernel.

Sometimes (when turning the screen on) the CPU sleep state is still active and its not changing back to screen on state

For example:

If you set HYPER governor for screen off and pegasusq governor for screen on

And the screen is on... You will still use hyper governor instead of Pegasusq

Its happen for me a lot and maybe it's the problem that [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] faced

I never had this on v008 so maybe it's something broken with the new stweaks app
