Phoenix
www.phoenix-kernel.com
- the rebirth of everything -​
Phoenix is a project composed by two awesome people (knzo,aprold) whose objective is to bring you a new android experience by forging a deep integration and rich interface between Phoenix kernel and application, thus rendering a true ecosystem between kernel-system-app. It kicks off where void left, keeping all its premises of minimalism, powerhouse performance and elegance. However, through the application you'll be able to customize your way on an unprecedented level.
Without further ado...

There are no restrictions, all options/features including the OTA upgrade are at their full disposal and any S2 kernel can join the party.

If you like it, show your appreciation by rating it and leaving a heart-warming comment on the application market link! Or you can even use the Phoenix in your signature like I have in mine. If you find any bug, please report it on the issue tracker and give us a chance to fix it before emo-quitting on us!
* Special thanks to all the Samsung Galaxy S2 developers - gokhanmoral, hardcore, tegrak, arighi, simone201, hellcat, supercurio, etc. You're all very talented developers and Phoenix has a bit of each one of you inside. We're happy to belong to the same community as you all.

Glad to see you on here knzo, still using your NOVA Rom on my mum's Optimus Black and it's fantastic.
Will definitely be giving your kernel a try!

Interesting will give this a shot.

I like how you write and i you say what is wrong or right.
I think I will give this kernel a try. Only using Hardcores kernel for a long, long time.

A very interesting looking kernel.
Thank you for your effort!
I will start testing soon

Does it matter which kernel the phone is coming from? I am on KI4.

Hi. Just on question. Does this support init.d scripts? Thanks

- Auto-install rawr script *
- Increase microSD readahead for greater reading speed (credits: brainmaster)
- Some CWM 5.x kitchen problems fix (credits to whoever wrote it)
- Init.d support (credits to whoever wrote it)
- Some build.prop tweaking for better performance and battery

I just had to reboot after the phone wouldnt wake from deep sleep, only had the kernel in for about ten min. It seemed pretty smooth though, I'll keep an eye on this one for a while.
Cheers OP for the new kernel dev.

---

After flashing this kernel, I'm having serious wake issues. If my display is off for any longer than a minute, i am unable to wake the device. Also, while my device was idle, i saw battery drop from 45% to 16% over the course of 15 minutes or so. While the device is being used, performance and battery are the best I've seen [so far] in any of the long list of kernels i've run.

Doesn't happen to me often but I sometimes have to press more than once (power/home) in order to wake up from deep sleep. Happens like 3 times a day but never takes more than 5 seconds. Since it's the first version I still have to smooth out some edges but so far I'm happy with the apparent results.
However, I'm going to include a known issues section with this.
P.S. Thanks for the feedback on bold, it's always nice to hear.

I was trying to wake the phone for about a min or so before rebooting, Ive had the same issue a couple of times with other kernels but they have come right like you said, after a few attempts. But i agree with the guy a couple of posts up, when i was using the phone it was very smooth, didnt have the crazy drain he had though which is good.

---

I've been using it for 2 days and no drain either. Smooth as butter.
Indeed, the main issue I've found is the annoying resistant deep sleep but never had to reboot it. Just as precaution I already added it to the main post. Oh, and an issue on the photo preview (not gallery) but I wasn't sure if it was a kernel or ROM problem.

---

Great to see you already pulled the trigger!
You are aiming for a killer kernel, and I'll be following this thread closely.
How stable/safe is this first alpha version?

Very promising, indeed!
Photo preview works fine here.
Deep sleep does not wake up here.
Otherwise very smooth.
Waiting patiently for alpha2
