Weird after I flash to 2.2b6! my UV problem is gone!!! :)

and I has no crash on all gevernor on setcpu so far.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
Sure, no one ever definitively said not to. I'm not getting crashes and excellent battery life, I don't see why not.

@gokhanmoral:

If I am not mistaken, you changed something with the colours somewhere between beta 4 and 5 (I personally think the new version is better ;) ).

After bootup, the colours now look like "Native" in Voodoo Screen Tuning and not "Samsung" anymore. So blue is now really blue and not some darkish brown.

I am not sure why Samsung chose the darker tone, maybe something related to OLED-lifetime (the blue ones are the most short-lived ones). Or they just thought it would look better for some peculiar reason.

Keep up the good work, beta 6 is perfect :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Tegrak created that governor so you wouldn't have to. Don't fight it man, it's smarter than us.. :D

likewise with smartassv2 and savagedzen I believe..

Check my replies to you yesterday for the details..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] extract1:
Gokhan anyway you could tweak Lulzactive governor to wake up instantly when you receive a phonecall like in smartass2? Only reason stopping me from using Lulzactive.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CekMTL:
Absolute sweetness beta6... I now feel like the Gollum, looking at my sgs2 and repeating "it's my precious! " (with creepy voice) haahhaha xD

My maximum respect to you and your insatiable quest for perfection, Gokhan!

Keep pushing the envelope for new breakthrough ideas; im surely enjoying the thrill of the ride :)

I noticed that the sdcard & internal sdcard is swapped in recovery mode, is that normal?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] extract1:
Yep it's normal you can now install updates from external sd:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
I understand why you might not need to, but using that script, I've used echo outputs to confirm that the phone does indeed go to a state where the lower max/mins/conservative governor are activated. So, whatever that state is, I'm content knowing that it's locked between 25-500MHz and using conservative governor.

Plus again, I'm not experiencing slowdown/crashes and getting great battery life. I can't complain. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
Having the same problem, hopefully gokhan will get it tweaked before the final release.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
Noticed on beta6 that cpu1 is always offline in dynamic mode. Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: NEVERMIND, duh, gokhan raised the threshold to 70. Should learn to read his remarks before posting. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I've noticed that as well, "select zip from internal sd card" should say "select zip from external sd card" lol :P

Lol!

Talking about sleep, its 4am here so I better be off :P

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA lightspeed telepathy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
Yes cpu1 is always offline.

But has anyone noticed that linpack (multi thread run) gives higher mflops than using only single core in beta 5.

Score is ofcourse not high as "original" dynamic hot plug mode, but it's higher now.

Also, the lag while scrolling gently on appdrawer (launcherpro, lulzactive) has disappeared now in dhpm, single core and dual core mode. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] antt00:
With beta 6 and single core, my adw app drawer no longer lag with smartassv2. Using default both core setting also the lag is almost non existant. So all this lag all along was cause by the second core kicking in too much. Hmm..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lpsi2000:
That is the least we could do considering how much time you have invested on bringing this work to us.

Do what you do and the real users of this kernel will here ready to grab the next build. All this crying over not being able to use the UV settings from previous kernel..... and moving to other kernels is good for thread (less BS). They will all come back when they realized how good they had it.

Here is the funny part, I raised my uv settings to adjust to certain builds and on version 2.2 beta 1, my phone was a stellar in both performance and battery life. It takes time to test battery life and a lot PPL are so quick to report battery life issues within minutes of flashing.

Anyhow, looking forward to new up and coming features for this kernel.

Thanks for all your efforts.

+1 I am using it too.:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
yeah, you want it to deep sleep when the screen is off...

when it's sleeping, it's a different state/step to your 25Mhz-500MHz.. not that much point setting it.. plus if stuff needs to be done in screen off, you may run the risk of taking forever to finish a task and hence draining more battery than if you just let the lulz governor scale it for you..

I don't think echo works that way... a cat is where you want displayed.. but no console is shown when screen is off so i dont know what you are talking about..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
If you look at that particular piece of code, it is an infinite while loop that constantly polls to see if phone is in an "awake" or "sleep" state. Basically, I wanted to see if this particular screen off/sleep state would ever be triggered even if the phone is defaulted to lulzactive. So, all I did was echo > output file an incremental counter in the while loop under the sleep state condition and another under the awake state condition that resets the counter. Sure enough, after a lengthy deep sleep trigger, an output file was present with significant increments logged, signifying that the phone not only went into a 25-500MHz/conservative governor state but that it did so for quite some time.

While crude, it works and proves the code actually does what it's supposed to. Regardless of whether or not you believe it is a better solution to Tegrak's default, it has proven to yield excellent battery life.

Really though, what's your obsession with convincing people that default lulz is superior to all? Can't bend your mind around the fact that there may just be a better combination out there?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KcDaRookie:
2.1.x was the only kernel where I had to raise the voltages, on 2.2 you can just decrease to the old values, the only thing that still happens is that my phone can't revive from deep sleep if it has been there for a while on 100mhz, but putting 200 as the lowest freq this problem isn't showing up anymore.

And I dont think that it is making that much difference if I use 100mhz@800mv or 200mhz@825mv as the lowest freq..

And I agree: They all will come back to Siyah, no doubt about it. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
ahh, so you added an echo to input into a file...

It's not in that script so didn't know what you were on about.

Nah, i have no problems with finding a better combination out there.

If anything I would love for you to have a better combination so I can apply it too.

Other than that, you seem convinced that is the way to go and its all about finding stuff that suits you.

I may even try it again myself as a test :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmd512:
Cheers, I'm always looking to get an extra drop out of the battery based on actual usage (I use my phone professionally with lots of work E-mails and conference calls, not that "see how long my battery can last with it idling forever" nonsense). So if you (or anyone else for that matter) stumbles onto something better, I'm all ears! :D

(Also important to note that I've used the Tegrak kernel with lulzactive for a LONG time before moving over to Siyah, so I kind of have a good gauge of how well lulzactive performs standalone.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sipospeter:
I have a strange bug with this 2.2b5: all my alarms, notification sounds and the related settings are gone. I noticed that when my alarm clock didn't work in the morning. When I woke up, and looked at the phone, a force close message waited for me on the screen. Then I tried to look into the clock app's settings, but when I tried to select an existing alarm, or add a new one, the whole app force closed. I tried to mess around with notifications, but they also got broken, both my incoming sms and gmail didn't have any sound. Then I went to settings/sounds, but when I tried to get Into the volume menu, it forced closed.

I still wasn't sure that it's kernel related so I flashed back to 2.1.1, and everything is working fine now.

Can you guys please test if sounds are working fine for you? A lot of people will have embarrassing moments today morning if it's not only me. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] navodwickra:
try 2.2 beta 6 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joeyfong:
Still having black screen when call come, using 100~1200 lulzactive, now change to smartassv2 see any improvment.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jodelaplaya:

(choose zip from sdcard)SDcard was always the real sdcard made from plastic

(choose zip from internal sd card)SGSII has ROM 16GB and there a partition called sdcard with 11.5GB of internal storage...so it IS internal sdcard

So...no it is right
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
2.2b6 is definitely the best user-experience so far. I'm on MIUI 1.11.4, and 2.2b6 is smooth as butter on ice. I suspect that the hotplugging fix did wonders for that. Keep up the good work!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Schindler33:
I like the idea of switching off one core. But while using only one core this leads to a higher load on that corse. This will result in higher frequencies an thus higher battery consumption?

So might using only one core even be worse for battery life?

I mean isn't that the reason why you use multiple cores? That one does not have to produce cpu with high frequencies?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sadonlyone:
@BoneMo

internal, external, I'm sure we'll figure it out which one is it as soon we select it :D

it was a little tricky to me too at first, but I selected other one as I needed it :>
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:
i just wanted to say that now it is finally right and not swapped
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sadonlyone:
@BoneMo

of course, I've noticed.

other issue that I'm not comfortable with is that external card is set by default in backup/restore. second option is to backup to internal card. maybe it should be otherwise... well, just an opinion.

(what happens if there is no sd-card?)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:
well maybe it is because external sdcard can be bigger >>32GB

hmm...interesting to try what happens if there is no sd-card but do not want to try myself.....so my guess is that it will jump back to menu of choosing sdcard

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sipospeter:
I didn't notice that there's a new version is already available. There's no problem with sounds on that one. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
Disabling the second core won't necessarily result in higher frequencies. Only if you're doing enough things at once that it warrants higher frequencies. As far as I know, the second core will turn itself on after a certain threshold whether it is being used or not, thus wasting power.

In a perfect world having the second core dynamically turn itself on and off due to load would potentially save power compared to only using one core always, but this world is sadly not perfect.

I have tried v.2.2 beta 6 with CM7 (105) + Launcher Pro with default kernel settings but it is lagging more than 2.2. beta 5.1.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] olifee:
I got it some time between having posted my long reply and falling asleep, when I realized the post was by chadouming ;-).

----

You should listen to more music to get higher statistics in this 'benchmark'. 1 % difference is not really significant, and depending on how long you charged your phone before, the starting points (though shown as 100 %) might have been different already.

Don't get me wrong, this kind of testing is interesting. But you need to collect more data for it to be useful ;-).

Hits,

My mates thinking rooting his phone for first time. Can he root it with this or does he need to use cf root first?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
If you want to mess around with how many cores are being used then yeah you need the app. If you leave it be then the phone will run the same way it always has.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jim-bo:
The default is that it will go on and off as needed, as it always has.

The app is just needed to that you can force it always-on or force it always-off

Edit: Runedrune beat me to it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
Well if you look in the features, auto-rooting is in the list. So just this kernel should be fine. I remember auto-rooting getting removed sometime back but I guess it was some other kernel then.

EDIT: Okay it was removed but then added back. So aslong as you use Siyah 2.1 RC 2 or newer, it should root :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] reaperreaper:
Ok tnx for the quick reply!

When you use "dynamic" in this app, will it turn on the second core when on heavy load?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Yeah, there are still some lags on B6 :( B4 was the smoothest!

Guys - ive been using various different versions of this kernel and to be honest i cant keep up with these daily beta releases and i really don't want to keep changing kernel every other day, can someone recommend a version of Siyah which they think is the best with regard to battery, previously 1.8b1 to me looked to be the best but im open to suggestions.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
Use the 2.1.1 version either from the first post in this thread or from gokhan's site here. 2.1 hat a bug and so 2.1.1 should be considered the "real" 2.1 stable ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Lmao, and you think that after I've had this device for 7 months I wouldn't know that it has internal storage? Haha, it's not rocket science.

What I was saying is; when I select the flash from internal sd card option it goes to my external sd card. The one that I inserted myself, not built in memory.

So that's blatantly not right lol :D

tried v2.2 beta 6

increased the fps limit in the camera driver (30 to 120). I hope that the one who sent me a PM about this modification can manage to use it to have better image or video quality.

none, i tried to make videos, the fps still at 30fps

with camera and also with lgcamera with 60fps it still record 30fps.

Has anyone tried too ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] midreestaj:
Has anyone checked this on beta 6, if you switch to single core mod and then back to dynamic hot plug, the cpu1 never comes online again.

Restarting the phone on hotplug option checked will show you dynamic working of both cores via Tegrak app. At this point if you check on single core mode and then back to dynamic, cpu1 dies.

I downgraded to beta 5.1 and switching from single core / dynamic / multi-core modes does not affect the functionality of cores as per checked option.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
It comes, just treshold is upped to 70 so it comes less often.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fasst:
The only reason for recording in higher frame rates would be better "flow" in slow motion playback.

And no, it doesn't work after your change to 120.

And I don't think you should use more time on in. Just revert it back to default 30 so we don't get any suspected issues with the camera driver in the future.

I would beleive you can spend your time developing this kernel, your upcoming tool app, or more important issues instead of this one.
