[Galaxy S II General] bclark:
First of all, thank you very much for this development!

Can an updated version of Siyah be included and/or Void(if possible)?

There is a ton of change b/w 2.0 and 2.2 and Void now supports both Aosp and Stock.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] luisivan:
Didn't work for me

I tried with CM7 and ICS Alpha. Tried all the combinations. With CM as main, with ICS as main, with your kernel and with Siyah kernel.

Always boot loop and I wasn't able to boot the recovery so I had to flash the normal kernel.

I'm using european Samsung Galaxy S2, should I use another kernel?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
ICS completely doesn't work with this yet, no matter what you do.
[Galaxy S II General] mkasick:
A while back I ported kexec support to the Samsung Epic (US SGSI device variant) for basically the same purpose, to be able to dual boot ROMs with differing kernels, as well as general ease-of-testing kernels without flashing.

I imaigne you probably ran into issues similar to what I did, in that (i) ARMv6/v7's kexec support is broken in versions of Linux prior to 3.1, and (ii) built-in driver shutdown code doesn't put devices into a power-cycle/bootloader-initialized state, which causes kexec'd kernels to hang on boot. To fix that, I added a "hardboot" option to kexec which does the same thing as a normal kexec, except it does a full hardware reboot to the new kernel so that device initialization code "just works".

Anyways, while I'm not aware of its implementation on an SGSII device, the kexec patches for the Epic should pretty much work. The few machine-specific things that will have to be updated are (i) the physical address range of RAM, (ii) the location of the "hardboot page", (iii) the assembly routine for doing a hardware reboot, and (iv) the "--mem-min" parameter to the kexec binary to find a suitable location in memory to stage a kernel where it's not overwritten by the bootloader.

If anyone is interested in porting those patches to the SGSII, feel free to PM me if you have questions about them.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
:eek: You're my hero :D

I will totally look into that.

Much to investigate and learn for me there to actually get it working, but after all that's where the fun is :D

So, yes, will definitaly get back to your offer to PM a few questilns :)
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Just a little status update on the app:

Installing the secondary OS directely from stock .tar works too, now :D
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
looking forward to see this evolve :D

i cant wait to run AOSP/CM and MIUI on the same phone

if only two roms could share the same data partition... just dreaming^^
[Galaxy S II General] snowblind2142:
Wow, really can't wait to see where you go with this :p

Look forward to the next release ;)
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Well ususally the system setting are incompatible between ROMs, so it can't really work....

Hmm, but the apps could be shared, maybe.... mhhhhhh *thinks*
[Galaxy S II General] steslatt:
Sharing the apps would be great :)
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
I might actually have an idea on how to make that work - would be apps only though, they'd still have individual data for each ROM, but cool enough IMO :D

I am working on the final stretch of the next setup app update, after that I'll dive into the kernel again to see what can be tinkered there.

Unfortunately this seems to get a very "unlovely" week at work, leaving me very little time for these hobby projects, so things might take a while.... :(

Last, not least, I'm also thinking about making a "donation version" of the intaller app (as there's way more work and time put into it by now as I ever planned :p and it'll only be like 0.99 ;)) but I also would not want to keep those f*ckingly amazing (at least IMO ;)) new features out of the free one.... meh, dunno, open for suggestions here. :)

Never released a paid something, maybe it's just time for the first time....

Also, this post needs more smilies: :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] punshkin:
It's time!

If you don't want to leave out features in the free version make a free and a donate one.

People who appreciate your work will go the donate way
[Galaxy S II General] netchip:
I don't know the command out of my head but there's a command called "find *.apk -exec blablabla" you have then the app on the other partition ;-)

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] rastamouse:
thanks ill have ago later :)
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
That wouldn't help much.

If at all, it would only copy the apps as yoi can't add "find" to the laumcher's appfolder listings.

I think a well placed symlink, placed at the right time, might do the trick.
[Galaxy S II General] redbull320:
Hey hey :)

nice work, want to test ist, but i have no Wlan, can someone post the APK?

Greetz
[Galaxy S II General] marber45:
Is it possible to change a partition identifier? I think partitions can have identifiers like hda1 hda2 even when hda2 is before hda1 or is it possible to create symlinks that can change. So you could have many kernel partitions that using an app in the booted phone one can change which one you want to boot on the next boot?
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
@marber45: nope, sorry mate, you're way off and missing like a million other problems about "just launching another kernel".

If it'd be that easy, it'd be done already.
[Galaxy S II General] marber45:
Edit: Removed.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
So, update time - a bit.

Nothing related to the actual dualboot (kernels) but at least for the setup helper app.

Disclaimer:

before people start screaming "greedy bastard" after reading part of what I'm going to write: The FREE version of the app will be updated to contain the exact same features as the donation version - NO FEATURES WILL BE CUT FROM THE FREE VERSION - "free" vs. "donation version" will have the very exactly same featureset, no one "needs" to get the donation version to get any of the functionality ;)

OK, that said: The donation version (0.99 euro bucks) of v2.50 is already live on Android Market.

[ SGS2 Dual-Boot Setup [DONATE] - Android Market ]

Changes in v2.50:

the usual minor bug hunting and tweaking

added option to install secondary system directely from a CWM ZIP - no need for the caching part!

added option to install secondary system directely from a stock TAR update - no need for the caching part!

I will now (hopefully over the weekend) make an updated Siyah dualbootkernel, based on Siyah v2.2 (most recent Siyah sources that are publically released).

Once I got the Siyah v2.2 based dualboot kernel done I will update the donation AND the free version to v2.51 - they will be 100% identical in functionality by then and carry the new Siyah v2.2 based dualboot kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] steslatt:
Siyah is on 2.4.1 now :)
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
No further comment :p
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
OK, v2.51 is now live :D

(FREE *and* Donate versions)

Siyah based dualboot kernel has been updated to Siyah v2.2

Before someone complains once again:

I know Siyah is at v2.4.2 already, I know you all would want that, I would want that too, but I need sources to make a dual-boot mod of that kernel, the most recent sources available for Siyah are of v2.2, so yes, Siyah is at v2.4.2 now, but I have no sources of v2.4.2 to make a dual-boot mod of it, I only have v2.2 sources, so Siyah v2.2 is the newest Siyah kernel I am able to mod as no v2.4.2 sources are released to the public yet!

I can only make a Siyah v2.4.2 or v3.5 or v17.4 or w/e you want version based Siyah dual-boot mod IF I HAVE THE SOURCES TO IT, and if they are not released I just don't have them....

I hope this cleares this up a bit.

// EDIT:

Oh and yeah. Free version and Donation version are 100% identical in features, nothing is missing in the free version that the donation version might have, getting the donation version is totally voluntary.

Ah, and did I mention I can't do a Siyah 2.4.2 based dual-boot kernel 'cause I don't have the sources to that? ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_southampton:
Can anyone explain how the Arc (or is it generic to android) controls the switch between HSPDA / 3G / GSM etc?

I live right on the edge of a HSPDA / GSM reception area, so sitting in the same chair I'm often browsing using "H", and then slowed down to "G" - and vice-versa. Unfortunately, every time it switches it seems (to me) that there is a lag while it establishes a connection again.

Is their any way to configure the ARC to make it attempt to stay with "H" for a bit longer?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uyo_kun:
Go to Setting - Wireless & networks - Mobile Networks and change the Network Mode into WCDMA

Hope that help you!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LahiruRD:
Changing from Edge(E) to Hspda(H) doesnt drop the connection but the from H to E does. Also if the H signal is weak, it will change automatically to E. If you are in a building , parking etc you will have à weak H signal since your phone is covered by the walls :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_southampton:
thank you both repliers.

It looks like there's no practical alternative to just letting the switch over happen as Sony have programmed it (or moving house).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uyo_kun:
Hmm... Double Post huh? :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hygge:
This is not only happening as programming by Sony but more likely by your operator. The operator defines the parameters that decide when they wish your mobile to switch from one network to the other, how weak they will allow the signal to become etc.

You can contact you operator, maybe they will log a case on it and investigate if the radio planning could be changed in your area.
[LG Optimus Black] Gynlemon:
Does anyone have a vague idea of why the Black v10c Italian does not vibrate when I receive my messages? I tried the silent and nothing but the normal profile.

I did some testing. With the vibration function calls with any profile.

Anyone want to see if it has vibrating feedback when you receive messages?

Or if there is a way for system-wide change the vibration. Thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] angelox82:
i confirm, on 10C with vibration set on ALWAYS if i receive a call i have vibration. when i receive an sms it won't vibrate -.-
[LG Optimus Black] Gynlemon:
Fixed

Fixed. If you can serve others.

You need to go into messages then with the button in the settings menu in the menu that opens, and go almost to the end and plug in the notifications settings to vibrate.

This will activate the vibration for both the SMS and email.

What in fact is not at all intuitive.

[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Get the pro while its still .99....... well worth it to not to have to do leg work of changing it yourself Manually.
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
I can confirm it works for sensation well the paid version it was only £0.61 so cheap and cheerfull thanks guys
[HTC Sensation] ssojyeti2:
Doesn't work on EVO 3d

This also works and it's free with no watermark forcing you purchase the pro version.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196054
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Yea it's free. But you still have to connect the computer to use it. This is literally open app ,pick a image, flash image, done. You don't even have to reboot till you feel like.
[HTC Sensation] SafirSwe:
All I get is "An error has occured. Please try again" and then endless "Loading, please wait...". I was about 2 mins past the refund timeout when I realized it wasn't going to work however I tried. I know there are other ways to flash a splash image, but this would have been amazingly convenient... Anyone got any tips to get this working? Anyone who bought it experiencing the same issue?

If anyone's interested I've attached the splash image I was gonna' use. Enjoy!
[HTC Sensation] C.T.Richter:
I had the exact same issue. Tried everything, but I couldn't get it to work.

There's a nice app in the market that's free, it's called SMS backup and restore. Works on just about any rom and doesn't need root. it backs everything up to the sdcard so you can reinstall the app and just restore your texts after flashing a new rom or doing a data wipe.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mysticdroid:
Many thanks :-) I hadn't heard about that app. I'll check it out.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blee blee:
I've turned on USB debugging. Maybe I don't have the correct drivers installed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoponpop:
that's probably it, or you might have fastboot in the tools folder of the sdk. I had to move it into the platform-tools folder to get fastboot to work if I remember correctly. type fastboot devices in command prompt to see if your phone is listed there.

Where are you getting this Cyanogenmod 7.1 ROM for G1...? There are ones BASED off of CM, like COS-DS... But as far as I know, CM 7 is not available for g1... They stopped support after CM 6. My guess is that the ROM just isn't compatible, so you are stuck at the boot screen. Try using Ginger Yoshi, or COS-DS. Both of those Gingerbread ROMS are pretty great.
