[[QnA] Yank555.lu Kernels [Official][Troubleshooting][Sharing][OneStop JB/AOSP] - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys..
Introduction to this thread and why we actually needed it.
Since we have a great dev working for us non stop on kernels I actually noticed that it was difficult for yank himself to run across both the thread.
I felt that we can have a common thread for QnA’s & troubleshooting and of course describing the aroma settings and all other features of our Yank555.lu kernels ?
So this is how it goes here are the links to
Yank’s respective threads :​
Yanks JB Samsung Awesomeness here
Yanks Cm/AOSP/AOKP Awesomness​
The Aroma Settings are explained​:
A.S.E. for Samsung ROMs​A.S.E. for AOSP, CM, AOKP ROMs​
The changelogs to respective kernels :
Changelogs for Samsung ROMs
Changelogs for AOSP, CM, AOKP ROMs​
PS-I have taken permission from Yank555.lu and he knows wat i am doing

Directions
What to do & How to do it ... And what kind of help is to be expected here.
This is how we would like you to report your problem
Please indicate :
1---the Rom you are using
2---the configuration you have chosen in aroma
3---simplest and as to the point explanation possible of the problem you are facing !
And now comes the point of sharing !
Since we all will be using kernels with different settings and most of us will be satisfied some would not be some would be unsatisfied to a very large extent (I wish no one feels this way )
So share with us :
1---the settings that u have done or chosen in aroma
2---your results (free ram, battery life, etc.)
But yes please keep in mind we wont believe anything until we have seen it, so Screenshots should be added whenever possible !!!

I Hope for the same mate
This is the only reason i sent an inbox to Yank and asked for his permission..and he will be monitoring the thread and ofcrs we will have all the users here too

Nobody seems intrested..! Still Sharing
This is my limited usage on my s3..

the thread is dead.!

Just a heads up that the bold lines in post 2 show as black on black on Tapatalk with a dark background. Presumably it will be the same with the xda app.

i see, thanks for adding me. one can hardly find your forum actually, i only managed to find it through this german forum http://www.android-hilfe.de/kernel-...7-yank555-jb-sammy-3-4-cm10-cm10-1-1-6-a.html over google (i was searching for "aosp yank555 i9305").
just wanted to ask a few more things as i didnt seem to find it in the features/changelog: will you be supporting abb, like its in the perseus kernel, as well as the rgb calibration? thanks for your work

Nope and nope, because :
UV / ABB
I am convinced that UV brings close to nothing in battery life (for having tested this deeply on my Sensation and no difference measurable at -100mV which is quite more than many devices can take), hence I don't have it in my kernels and do not plan to add it as all it really will bring is people complaining about the kernel being unstable because they just overdid themselves with too much UV.
As for ABB, all I really believe this is good for is to allow for slightly more stability at high OC, that's nothing that I have in my kernels (1.6GHz is max) and I do not plan to go any higher anyway. Also, same applies for ABB, people don't really understand what it is and how it works, and ramdomly will play with it and then complain about the kernel being unstable.
So for my time's sake, I really don't need a thread filled with such posts, and since the threads are in my forum, I don't care either to have my thread look popular by that many kinds of posts either (just being sarcastic here)
Also, my highest goal is stability, and with decend battery, and I can't say my phone is unstable in any way, and I intend to keep it this way, and battery is pretty fine as well, and it's pretty snappy as well, so in fact I'm pretty happy with it as it is for now.
mdnie
I have no need for it, and I do not intend to include it. mdnie scenarios available in ROMs are good enough for me, AMOLED screens are anyway not good enough colorwise to be really well calibrated and I do not intend to do any kind of desktop publishing on my S3 either.
The good thing is, though, there are a few kernels to choose from the offer both by now

Thanks for the extensive explanation, ill try your kernel out and see what it brings. About other kernels that support it, its so that im a bit limited by it as i have an i9305 and not an i9300 (had one before, but came to changing it for the i9305), so there are practically no non-cm/replacement kernels for aosp roms (apart from yours) and what it takes for samsung based roms, all of those custom ones for the i9305 are still "bloated" (thers none like anonorom for the i9300), so i prefer not to use them =/
again, thanks for your time and work.

Just in case some don't know where to look, new kernel drops today in my forum (registration required), the various versions (MIUI, CM10.1, Sammy) will be available as I finish them.

Which rom is the best and help ?

I made this post to see wat people think which is best rom and wat is wrong wid some roms have tried every rom out there and iam here to help wid any problems people have IAM NOT A DEVELOPER so i dont no everything but i can help wid stuff that i fixed myself

Stock, hands down. Everything works with no fuss.
In the long run, though, I would say Cyanogenmod will be the best, when Samsung moves on to support newer phones, and "forgets" about SG2...

This is true. However, deep inside I really wish to ask that as I tried so many and so hard to decide.
Here's a quick breakdown
Cognition
- smooth
- why I dislike: The feel of the UI (self preference)
Litening 4.1
- GREAT
- really fast in speed
- why I dislike: been too long see-ing blue colour
VillianROM
- GREAT
- smooth UI, fun to play, many tweaks according to your liking
- why I dislike: seeing too much green robot is boring (if you get what I mean)
Exynos Extreme
- current favourite
- very smooth, like the part where the author actually remove unwanted apps for us
- downside: 3.4 is a little buggy (can't copy and paste), 3.3 is smooth and GREAT
Generally, Litening 4.1 give good battery life. Exynos too but I am using Exynos with SpeedMOD so a little different here.
There you go

It's a fair question but prbably should have asked which ROM people prefer. I hate it when people get flamed for asking which ROM people like best. Some of us don't have the time to download every ROM out there and just want to hear others' opinions..
Keep the opinions coming - I want to be tempted away from stock!
Exynos. best ive used so far

I got to agree. Some reason, it felt unique compared to Litening and the rest. Not sure why though.
The best ROM is subjective and will probably change within a week of this question been asked.

[POLL] What type of N.E.A.R. would you like to see?

Hi Galaxy SII users! For the first N.E.A.R. ROM (New Era Android Rom), what type of rom would you like to see? A Gingerbread based rom again but with the N.E.A.K. kernel integrated and specially modified for it or a new ICS based rom but for the moment without N.E.A.K. (because has not yet been released kernel source)? Vote all!!!!
I have already voted for ICS XD
I voted GB as ICS is not yet mature. And I need a stable ROM I can depend on for personal use and also for work.
Let ICS wait until Samsung delivers us a full grown version and then use that as base for a new ROM.
GB without NEAK .

If we release a rom, it will be WITH NEAK Kernel....
So please, if you don't like it, just go for another rom, maybe u don't know that customizing a rom is pretty much simple, anyone can do that and it's mainly do a stupid theme (very easy), mod 2-3 apps (or better copy from others), and add a few scripts that no one knows what are they doing...
I've developed ROMs for the GS1, and all i can say is that a rom is ONLY made by a kernel for performances, smoothness and battery life
All the rest is graphical, that's why the NEAR Project is meant to give NEAK users a really good and almost perfect user interface and experience to enjoy their phones as much as possible with the smoothness of NEAK Kernel
Don't like my opinion? Just go away and search for another usual "ROM", probably kanged from other good devs

Only when ICS sources are released, and is stable, look into the possibility of an ICS NEARv2 with ICS NEAK

You didn't understand my right....
The poll is about what kind of NEAR Rom do u want to see...there are 2 options, u said a third one that it will be surely not used....that's all
We gave u 2 options, if u don't want one of them, just don't post here saying that NEAK is bad etc...
Also, as i read, u know almost nothing on how are kernels made, and i'm thinking u see a ROM as a Kernel, when they are completely different in way of development and skills needed
Just my 2 cents

GB N.E.A.R. all the way at the moment.
Until a stable and usable version of ICS comes out, then it must be GB.
There's already too many half arsed attempts at ICS ROM's out there already. I want something that is 100% stable and usable.

Lol i'm 100% sure it will be as good as SH, i knew you coulnd't resist making a rom for the sgs2.
Maybe ics is the way to go now although there isn't a real good base to work with, you can get familiar with ics and try things out...and ics looks more like Simply Honey then gb

Thats one good reason for me to disregard anything you say as being valid .
Why well you seem to be able to twist words and put a totally different context in to the reply .
You say i have no idea how kernels are made nothing in my posts on this thread give any indication as to that .
You keep banging on about custom roms and me thinking a kernel is a rom nonsense .
You jump in again with a lack of knowledge and say
and please don't say that a rom is better than another when only the theme is different
Where the f^^^ have i said that .
Fact i have a self customized rom not from XDA .
Fact that rom has had a number of kernels installed over a number of weeks kernels not themes .
Fact kernel of choice is not based upon builders hype and lets face it they are all hyped as the best yet . its actually based upon two factors one my usage and two an independent test .
Fact is my original reply was a mistake as i read the OP wrong or misunderstood its context .
Fact you then jump down my throat in a number of posts accusing me of not knowing what a kernel is and thinking like some ignorant noob saying one kernel is better cause it has a better theme .
Now my regard for Devs and the work they do is very high even for the ones where i don't use their stuff . it would have been for you also before you started slagging me off with your unfounded comments .
I have no intention of prolonging your stupid replies by posting in this thread again .

[Q] Understanding kernels: features, changelogs, etc.

I apologize in advance if this has been covered somewhere, some quick XDA and google searches returned nothing, and the stickies don't seem to cover it either.
I stayed completely stock until ICS roms started being released, and all I currently have is a working knowledge of how to go about safely rooting and flashing ROMs, kernels, and modems (obtained by reading stickies). With that in mind, can anyone explain what do all the features associated with these new ICS kernels mean? I read the changelogs and everything goes over my head. Even the changelogs for the Gingerbread kernels are beyond me.
If there is a pre-existing thread/post where I can find this information, kindly direct me and I'll read it (and probably come back with more questions). Otherwise, please help a noob understand what it all means, so that I can make an informed decision about which kernel I want to flash.
....Yeah, I'm kinda asking to be spoonfed. Sorry
Well I'll answer what I can, I am by no means an expert.
The Changelogs for a Kernel contain a list of what was changed from one version to the next. Sometimes they are simple [-added code to stop phone from blowing up], sometimes more complex [-merged something I don't understand into something else I don't understand]. The rule of thumb I use for Kernels is what gives the best performance for the battery/stability?
Siyah's Kernels have a unique dual boot option, are very stable and give great battery life, with good performance.
The NEAK Kernel, has outstanding performance, great battery life and seems rock solid.
Entropy's Kernels give good performance, great battery life, and are bulletproof in stability.
As it's so easy to change from one Kernel to another, play with them. If you don't like one, feel free to change to another. (just make sure you use a Kernel cleaner script before doing so).
As for a good post to read, XDA is filled with them, but I cannot think of an 'all in one' post to go read. What I know I have gleaned over spending hours reading, every day.
Modems are similar, in that some work better in some area's than others. Navigate with your phone's browser to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and test them. There is even a post here with maps that give an idea of what Modem works best in a given location.
If you follow the instructions, flashing Kernels/Modems on this phone is crazy easy and little risk. Sorry I cannot point you to an all in one post though. Perhaps some of the other guys here can link something more authoritative than what I have posted.

Thanks for your help, I sincerely appreciate it
To be honest though, I kind of already knew most of what you posted I do know what a changelog actually is. I know that modems are location dependent and it's easy to flash between multiple ones (KH7 seems to work best for me). I knew that Siyah offers dual-booting, don't *really know* what Neak offers (but the thread and changelog seem to indicate high stability), and I know that of course, Entropy is freaking bulletproof (which is why I use his ). I guess I didn't truly know kernels are phone-dependent, but I had a sense given what I've heard about people having varying results with OC/UV.
Which brings me to my next point. I have a rough idea of what overclocking is, not so much with undervolting, but lucky for me that doesn't interest me. What does intrigue me and what I would like to know about are some of the other features that kernels can implement. Examples are:
-Init.d Support: What is this and what does it do?
-Entropy's Legacy Gingerbread hotplug code (including all tuning features from the final GB DD release): same questions
-Governors: Ondemand, LulzactiveV2(default), Performance, Conservative (module), Lazy (module). What's a governor?
-Schedulers: BFQv3-R2, Noop, SIO, VR (default). What's a scheduler? How's it different from a governor?
-Support for Voodoo Louder! is there a thread on this?
-CIFS, FUSE, CUSE Support (modules) more modules? are they the same as governors?
-Many other similar questions
Sorry for the bombard of questions, but I hope this thread eventually will prove useful to other noobs like myself.
-Init.d Support: What is this and what does it do? Read http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/04/get-to-know-linux-the-etcinitd-directory/
-Entropy's Legacy Gingerbread hotplug code (including all tuning features from the final GB DD release): same questions - Hot plugging answers can be found in the post below. It's got to do with turning on the 2nd processor core.
-Governors: Ondemand, LulzactiveV2(default), Performance, Conservative (module), Lazy (module). What's a governor?
Everything you ever wanted to know about Kernels can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
-Schedulers: BFQv3-R2, Noop, SIO, VR (default). What's a scheduler? How's it different from a governor? See link above
-Support for Voodoo Louder! is there a thread on this? - No clue, I'm old, to me Voodoo is a video card made my 3DFX.
-CIFS, FUSE, CUSE Support (modules) more modules? are they the same as governors? - See post above.
See if that answers your questions.
For some interesting reading, read the 2ndinit post found here, http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-14/2nd-init._what_it_is_and_how_it_works
This is what allowed us to install custom ROMS on locked bootloader Motorola phones last year. Good stuff.
In fact the XDA post I linked I think was what you were initially looking for. I know I learned a lot lol.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I think I may have come across it before, but I probably ignored it since I didn't think there would be so many kernel options for our phone (that was before ICS source drop). The OP of that thread has another kernel related thread in his signature, dedicated to how ICS kernels are different, too.
I find it really useful knowledge. Perhaps this should be added to the sticky of reference links? What do you guys think, especially Red5 (if you see this)?
Anyway, THANK YOU WINK!

Favorite Rom

Which rom is recomended to be daily driver with everything working
Tested some of the aosp roms and found them not to be stable yet for every day use .
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
For me Unlocked Potential was very stable, basically all or most ICS ROMs work with zero to little problems. I've had quite a few with CM10.
Sent from my Rooted HTCEVOV4G running CM10.1 WFTN.
If anyone who sees this has no real interest in flashing and testing different roms, and simply want a "microwave" solution, then disregard my block of text below. This is not a shot against anyone, just simple advice being shared.
My response whenever people ask this question is this: you can try one at a time, so why not try as many as you can?
How would you know if any Rom is the best without knowing what makes it better than the other Roms in the first place? Not to mention that every user has their personal preferences, likes, and dislikes. Some like simple roms while others prefer the bells and whistles. You must see what you lime for yourself.
Please understand, Rom testing IS time consuming when testing the options and checking for speed, smoothness, stability, functionality, etc., but it is well worth it. You build your knowledge base, too. Asking for someone to tell you the best rom is taking the easy way out, guided by a biased opinion that is likely to change between most responses that you receive. Unless, of course, as I said before, you have no interest in this kind of thing, and you just want a rom that works. If so...then do whatever rocks your boat.

A good website for roms is
http://galaxys2root.com/tag/sgh-t989-roms/
There are videos posted for most roms reviewing the features, speed, stability, visuals, and overall feel of each rom.
And FYI, GB roms tend to be more stable than ICS, and DEFINITELY JB, but you gain more functionality and lose stability with each step up. Keep that in mind.

Questions such as these are not allowed. As the user above me mentioned, just download and try for yourself.
Mods close this.
My favorite rom is... the one that gets these threads to stop. :beer:

There is nothing wrong with asking these questions. Plus the people who replied here.
Did you guys tested every single rom out here , if thats the case thats great .

What's wrong is that the Evo 3D forums do not allow favorite ROM threads. You can try posting your requirements in this thread per the instructions in the OP and someone will probably provide feedback.
ramjet73
My favorites are cyanogen based roms, but there are some bugs in cm 10.1 (bluetooth etc)
As stated above best Rom threads are frowned upon to many variables to say one Rom is hands down the best Rom.

This is a "modular phone" but all GSI Android P doesn't support any mod

It's really absurd to see people happy with the arrive of GSI roms that doesn't feature Moto mod support. I've tried some roms and the obvious result is that non of it let you use any mod so, ¿Is there any chance that developers build a ron or a module that let Moto mods work in GSI?
I agree, it's very annoying, there is even a super detailed guide on how to implement it on XDA somewhere. It has been accomplished already for all main mods, including JBL. (Maybe version 2)?
I tried bringing this guide to the attention of devs and got in **** for posting it in the development section so devs could see it lol
At least the battery mod will still charge the phone in recovery mode our little secret lol.
Well, at least we have Pie ROMs. And I don't know how compatible the Mods framework is with GSI. @MusicAlleyInc and you where already told that most devs wont do that since that can break too much stuff on the way and none are willing to go through the hassels just to satisfy a hand full of people actually using modules

Many people use Turbopower, and JBL.
Those are referenced over and over.
Most times, Turbopower works but efficiency mode does not.
JBL often works without volume control.
These Roms are all using the same basic foundation.

As I said: there is a tutorial which describes how to do this PROPERLY, without breaking anything, maybe a few things in the mods not working yet, but not breaking other things.
> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72601804&postcount=2 <
It has been done, can be done, and obviously can be done if Motorola can do it in the first place.
And as noted, many people do use mods. That is why any intelligent person would have bought this phone. It's not to satisfy a handful of people, it's to have our phones work as they are meant to work.

Well, there is quite a big difference between being Motorola, getting paid for it and having access to all necessary source code and being a dev doing that in your free time a having only limited access to necessary source codes

There is also a difference between competence and incompetence. The main mods used >already< work without issues except for the JBL mod, which is only an issue because of some proprietary code or driver or something.
But who the hell cares, that is what Bluetooth speakers are for.
All most people really care about is the battery mod and projector. Exclusive features like that without any simple/efficient alternatives.
These mods have worked stable in many custom ROMS when a little extra effort was made to make something competent. The only reason they are not working in Pie ROMS is because GSI's are universal and don't have them implemented in their base as they have been in past custom ROMS which were made FOR THIS PHONE...

While you call every ROM developer incompetent, when you know oh so much about that and how it had to be done, why haven't you just made your own ROM supporting every Moto mod?

Neither did I claim to know so much, I simply shared what I found.. an observation, do you gather?
It's not cool twisting peoples words to try to make them look bad.
Why would I build a ROM that supports most mods: when it has been done, that makes no sense...
Neither does the attitude I have received while trying to relay this information to devs for the benefit of the entire Moto Z2 play community.
I am not a DEV, perhaps that is another reason why I don't build my own ROM.

By the very definition of competence, building something that doesn't fully work is technically incompetence IN REGARDS TO THIS SUBJECT MATTER.
Especially when it has been already achieved to some degree. I am not complaining, nor did i say "fully" either. I am highlighting this fact and this fact only, do you have an issue with facts, or just a problem with pretense?

Then, just maybe, you should leave those topics to people who actually are instead of whining in several threads about devs deciding not to support it. You simply have no right to complain.

Maybe you need to understand the concept of progress and a constructive attitude.
Calling it whining is literally just making things personal, and totally unnecessary.
You insist on trying to dictate my intention as negative, your problem, not mine.
The thing is that GSI roms are generic, I know. But I have not seen any developments in Android P working around the mod support, ¿There's no possible way to build a module that let the users use turbo power mod in GSI? We have a great phone with a great power mod and we can't use it. For me is absurd to use GSI if I cannot get the most out of it
"Then, just maybe, you should leave those topics to people who actually ARE implementing this the same way the guy in the link I posted did....?"
But yet everyone is so fast to tell me nobody is and that nobody IS or has much interested in replicating his work, hmmm.

Be happy that at least you can get something out of it for now using recovery mode.
I say just be patient, Stock Pie shouldn't be that far off. And if you want CUSTOM PIE and mod support, well chances look good that it can be done when dev's have access to stock pie firmware?

Dude, please cease and desist and stop twisting things out of context. You are pretentiously whining about me sharing important information and expecting ROMS made for this phone to make use of something that allows mods to work for this phone. Give it a rest.
And that post was totally soiled by someone with an attitude similar to your own, the reason I broke forum rules was for citing blatent ignorance as ignorance. Yeah, ask me how bad I feel about that.

So the same guy who claims he got these mods working stable and was promoting other people used what he learned, removes his work from his ROM because it makes it perform worse?
How does it impact performance? I have run at least 3 or 4 ROM with projector and turbo pack support that were absolutely fine and stable.
Also: it's fairly obvious this dude was the one trying to teach developers how to integrate mod support into their ROM, not me.

"Rom discontinued
hey guys thanks for using this rom
sorry if i couldn't bring up ALL mods without bug (key word being ALL)
but i can't keep this rom updated anymore
so unfortunately i have to say Rom discontinued
this is mod apps update flashable zip to make new mods work https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620776495
