Yeah Kies can be a pain at times. It'll keep saying Connecting... for some time before telling me its failed. Odin it is then.
*
yes,go for odin, especially with stock rom/stock kernel, as it will not void warranty.

but with custom rom/custom kernel, it will introduce yellow triangle and binary counter increase.

no need to worry about that kies...im also facing the same problem after install a custom kernel... rclxub.gif


Added on March 5, 2012, 12:02 pmwhats the main function of busybox?..is it a must after rooting?
*
it is not a must, but most app with root access, usually use busybox, busybox is a compilation of most used linux binary command, it is very useful indeed.

usually with rooted kernel for example superatmos 3.0, busybox is already included inside the kernel.

but if we rooted ourselves using doomlord or mobile odin pro, busybox must be install using busybox installer from android market.

bros,

the option in CWM, wipe/factory reset.

i read that it doesnt delete images, how about contacts,apps and messages/sms?
*
of course la, that one delete system and data partition only

pictures and medias are usually in sdcard partition (internal or external)

but contacts, apps and sms are inside system/data partition, and these will be cleaned up.

ok..so stuff like images and music only will remain.

gotta backup the rest.

this wipe is recommended right esp after trying so many roms? usually before trying new rom, i jst wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
*
yes, actually it is recommended evrytime especially if u are flashing different roms, but if u are for example on superrom 2.0 then superrom 3.0 got released, so no need to wipe as it is from same dev.

Hi, creezalird

Got a question, did superatmos v3.0 much better than stock LA1 kernel?

Do they have SmartAssV2 governor for SetCPU? Is this setting better? Normally what governor you set for SetCPU? I need a great in performance + saving battery setting. Now my battery still drain too fast.

If I flash the superatmos v3.0 via ktool, it will not having yellow triangle right? The superatmos v3.0 can flash via ktool right?

Appreciate much your help. smile.gif
*
perfomance wise, superatmos 3.0 and stock LA kernel are the same

superatmos 3.0 is just enhanced with CWM and some small things, but no extra governors like smartass or whatever.

i dont set anything for mine, just stay default at hotplug.

how fast would u say fast?

if using ktool/mobileodinpro, no yellow triangle will occur, but u need to extract it to zImage first. If u want to have many governors, u can try lucifr kernel, but some people are reporting heat problem, but some others not.

did a wipe cause of the other days flashing spree that i did. smile.gif

contacts remained caused its all saved into sim. messages gone but thats ok, nothing important was there.

scary thing when i boot back, it was all in german  shocking.gif

hahahah, change to english, flash superatmos 3.0 with odin. its allll good now.  thumbup.gif

restored all the important apps and stuff via TB.

im really falling in love with Android...now i use my 4s, feel so boring and dull( i have custome themes,JB,tweaks etc and its still dull), the switching of screen also not as smooth compared to S2, and S2 screen owns 4s anytime, speakers too.
*
u have the same idea like me. i was on ios too before, but still right now, just hardly using the ipod touch.
jailbreaking and stuffs, too easy...boring for me..lols..i like to do something more challenging..

Oh, thanks a lot. I had no idea set at what, I do set as powersave, before is performance but that quite drain battery. I never try on hotplug before.

I no need superb fast, what I need is they is no any lagging/jerking when flip page or anything that with animation on launcher. I notice it slightly jerking when use on demand.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. wink.gif

---------------------------------
I also got 1st generation of iPod touch, haha! now it is under freeze world, haha! as I hardly use it. Maybe because I own the 1st generation of iPod touch, iPhone never fancy me, as I feel really bored on it already, nothing much to customize even after jailbreak.
*
hotplug should be the best for default, and in LA1, hotplug is much2 better.
for your information, perfomance will always set the speed at high settings, if u set 300-1ghz, it will always run at 1ghz only, thats why the battery drain

same like powersave, it will set at lowest speed, ie 300mhz only

both of those governors will not throttle between speeds. it will stick to one speed only, either highest or lowest

ondemand is demand based throttling, so of course it will introduce some small lags.

better use hotplug. i am using hotplug, and never turn back.lols

mine is ipod touch 4g..lols..

I just try out hotplug, yup! It is the best, no lagging. I find it is the most smoother also. smile.gif and not always run in full speed.

Hope this solved my battery issue as well with best speed. smile.gif

Thanks a lot. biggrin.gif

and use io scheduler "deadline" or "noop" for more better read and write speed.

Hi, may I know where to set this? I don't see any setting for it at SetCPU, or I shall use which apps for it?
*
now u are on stock or superatmos 3.0?

if on superatmos 3.0, u can just set it in an init.d script
if not, i think u need to use another app like voltage control, as setcpu kind of not updated anymore.

my better recommendation, flash superatmos to get init.d support

then u can even flashed pikachu01 thunderbolt script and get much2 perfomance.

I still on stock, I can flash to superatmos 3.0, after that what shall I do? Remove SetCPU and use Voltage Control?

and how and where to get the init.d & pikachu01 thunderbolt script support?
*
easiest way is to use voltage control, as voltage control can also change the IO scheduler.
regarding the thunderbolt script, it is better if u read from the thread at xda yourself as it requires a bit more reading.
from pikachu01 thread, download the latest 2.5.1 thunderbolt, lib zip and also sqlite zip. three files.

these three files can be flashed using CWM, but need to mount system and data first (from CWM too, under mount)

I testing Voltage Controller now, the I/O Scheduler noop or deadline, which is better?
*
it is up to u mate, both can be considered fast enough, noop is abit faster than deadline, but for long term usage without reboot, deadline is preferable as it wont congest the data.

much better is SIO scheduler, but it is a modded scheduler, so not included in stock kernel tongue.gif

Oh.

I am a bit confusing now, as SetCPU can set during screen off different speed, this Voltage Controller cannot? Or it no need?

During save as boot, I shall save as init.d.script or choose (Recommended) startup service?
*
no need to use setcpu anymore, and actually with hotplug, u dont need to set all those screen off on profile, as it is implemented in the kernel itself, the germans engineer seems to be doing their job. smile.gif

use recommended

OK thanks, now I just flash to Superatmos 3.0 kernel as for the stock one, don't know why it won't stick my setting as 1200 Mhz. Keep default to 800 Mhz. No issue for Superatmos 3.0

I can save in init.d.script for this Superatmos 3.0

Why it seems everytime I login the Voltage Control, it show Default not save, and back to 800Mhz?

Restarting my phone now. After restart it do show 1200 Mhz now.
*
just ignore it, actually the algorithm behind LA1 hotplug is quite complicated, it will limit itself to a certain cpu freq so that battery can be saved, u just need to apply once for the scheduler actually, ignore any changes for cpu speed after that, it will always keep changing.

Added on March 6, 2012, 5:23 pmHi, creezalird

How come the AnTuTu benchmark is such low when I set Voltage Control to peformance and 1200 Mhz Max and Min.

Hotplug setting seems higher but still lower a lot compare with previously.
*
ignore antutu scores, as long as u feel it smooth and performs, why need to refer to some score.
lower is sometimes better as it wont eat your batter alive. lols

OK, my last question, how and where to get SIO as I/O Schedule.

either get a kernel modded with SIO, or
need to compile the SIO as module and insmod it.

easiest, just ignore it..haha..

Hmm...my SGS2 being hanging quite frequently recently...my friend SGS even worst...always hang when disable accuweather gadget...my sister also complained her SGS Plus hangs....and my colleague latest SGS2 also face hanging problems....

After some digging, i can find lots of such complains....i think Samsung phones really not stable....my old HTC Desire never have such problems....I guess i will be jumping ship after April when the slew of new HTC phones comes and see if it met my criteria...or worst....sucumb to Apple and become an iFag.....
*
whatever u like, but trust me, jump ship or not, it is up to the user on how to optimize the phone especially with android system, but if u the simple type and want everything ready served, go for iphone.

my sgs2 never hang except when i am testing something new/beta/alpha, but in normal usage, very perfect, at least it is not as boring as iphone, in my opinion la..

easiest way, google around for the name of apk and after that copy paste to system/app folder, set permission, reboot..done

easiest but slowest maybe, download the whole rom KL3 or any Asian rom, extract using android kitchen, get apk.

or find any custom rom based on KL3 or KJ2 maybe, extract the apk from there.

ask from fb group, some of them are still using the apk
