Can someone explain to me what is ? and How to solve it ?

Cheers

Im getting random freezes with beta8 and nightly 85. Sometimes when I turn on the phone, it turns on instantly (no deep sleep) without lockscreen and shows my homescreen with frozen wallpaper unable to do anything, when I press power button it shuts screen off and when i press power again the same thing happens again and I need to do a hard reset. Is it CM nightly problem or kernel problem.

Anyone else experiencing same issue ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
v2.0rc1...

I re-enabled some patches. just test it and tell me which one is smoother: beta8 or rc1?

gps related wake-locks might be solved in this release.

I set SIO i/o scheduler as default.

and some code cleanups to get ready for the release...

EDIT: I forgot to lower the min cpu voltage level. I will fix it in rc2 (or maybe release)

it is 800mV for rc1. I will set it to 650mV which is the regulator's minimum.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dtekkt:
Thanks, very nice and smooth, after my first impression even faster than b8. I also can see data per app in droidstats again :-D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lownita:
Does this kernel decrease charging time by default, or do I have to tweak the setting first?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
You have to tweak it first. Defaults are set to stock values.

Thanks again for this release ...

Any tips to flash this over insanity #45 [cm7]

Been trying to flash your kernel via CWM, but when rebooting phone stays @ samsung screen , wont even get to boot screen ..

Clues , ideas ? why is this not working with this specific ROM ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] boshot:
what about the usb debugging icon that's still present in status bar even usb is unplugged? Fixed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bene2k11:
RC1 seems to run smoother. Good job.

Anyone have problems booting into CWM after flashing this Kernel? I'm getting a lot of errors when booting into it, and it won't let me do anything inside CWM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bullemina:
My opinion is that RC1 is smoother than the beta 7.

OndemandX is very smooth. Smartass2 is also significantly better than beta 7, but not quite as smooth as OndemandX.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chadouming:
What's bad in testing fix and added code before release a new kernel ? "Official" version should be stable and since there's small things not working it's not stable. So it's still in beta or RC.

After flashing RC1 rebooting to CWM Recovery shows up with a lot of errors.

I flashed back CF-root and recovery seems ok.

Flashed RC1 again and the errors comes back.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CekMTL:
Guys theres a file missing that you have to put back in /etc called recovery.fstab

This is where all the mount points for sgs2 are located.

Access the update.zip of CWM and you will find that file.

(how the hell can i add a file with this Tapatalk from my sgs2????)

EDIT:

These are the contents of said file

/boot	emmc	/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Check again the contents of recovery.fstab or better extract it from update.zip CWM.

for people with recovery proble, just drop this file in system/etc.

THIS IS NOT A CWM UPDATE, anyway CWM should not be working so you wont be able to flash it anyway.

I don't have an update.zip not sure where you guys are getting it from. Maybe I didn't set the permissions right, I tried fix permissions in CWM, but it still does it. Can someone just upload their recovery.fstab that works?

Select the file (long press to get context menu)

First u select PERMISSIONS and u put rw-r--r--

Then u select CHANGE OWNER and you choose 0 - root & 0 - root.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chadouming:
So because recovery is broken, you lost root and because it's not rooted it doesn't start ? I don't think you know what you are doing.

Are you on Cyanogenmod or Samsung rom ?

Maybe super manager change the right, it has --xrwxr-x

i'm on Touch X-POWER+ [XWKI8] 1.0 SP1.

I can only use Siyah - v.1.8rc2 if i want to flash a another then my cwm = DEAD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chadouming:
Since version 2.0 this kernel don't autoroot as it was causing trouble. It's written on first page. Also, CMW in v2.0RC1 is somewhat broken because it'S missing a file, which need to be put /system/etc. This file, i provided it on last page. The easyest way you can solve your problem is to flash v1.8 since 2.0 is in RC and it's not ready for everyone use. If you want to use v2.0 anyway, flash CF-Root ( Will give you root ) then flash siyah 2.0RC1 and use the recovery.fstab i provided. Please extract it from it zip before moving it to /system/etc and give it proper right. CekMTL explained how to do it a few post before this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kiddz7:
Hi guys, I just ported to android from iPhone, so bare with me.

Feature list in THIS post

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

You don't needs to got Linux dawg.

You just need adb from the Android SDK which you should have installed if you're messing around with custom kernels & ROMZ anyway.

Create the file in notepad, use adb to push it to /system/etc/ then use rootexplorer or the terminal app to set the permissions. Or just mount the USB on the phone, copy it to the sdcard then use the file manager to copy it to /system/etc/

If people don't have the means to recover when there are issues, then they shouldn't be testing non-stable software. And if you don't know, then try to learn.

Full text for the /system/etc/recovery.fstab file for a SGS2 if you're running CM7:

Or, flash back to 1.8 with Odin. There's several options.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steemool:
Wow this one's really fast! Felt it right after first boot! Great job, authors! Unzipped the required file into system/etc using AndroZip and Root Explorer applications and got rid of "E:[bla bla bla]" errors in recovery. From Russia with love.;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] meno69:
After enabling the back button in RC1 recovery (5.0.2.6) by running through the menu 3 times it says "back button enabled" but yet it still doesn't work. Is this the right place to mention this? If not what thread?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steemool:
Had the same thing. Don't really miss back button that much...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kiddman:
I've noticed an interesting issue. While using Siyah kernel's any of 2.0 betas or rc1 available, sometimes after reboot my internal usb storage won't mount and it becomes empty when I try to reach it. But when I flash 1.8 version or any other kernel, it starts to mount every time I reboot. Such problem occurs using Androidmeda ROM. CM7 and MIUI ROM's work properly. Also in CWM everything works as it should.

Can anybody confirm my issue?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] NZgeek:
The following functions appear to be working the same between CWM 4.0.1.5 and 5.0.2.6:

* Home button 'clicks' the highlighted item.

* Volume Up and Down move the highlight.

* Back button does nothing.

The following functions are different between CWM 4.0.1.5 and 5.0.2.6:

* Power button: used to act like a 'back' button, now acts the same as Home.

* Menu button: used to do nothing, now acts like Volume Up.

I wonder if it's better to use the 5.0.2.3 version that codeworkx has posted here in the SGS2 area of XDA. I know that he developed the tweaked 4.0.1.5 version that most kernels are using, which has controls that work better with our phones.

On another note, I'm trying 2.0rc1 to see if it fixes the GPS wakelock issue I've been seeing since v1.8. Fingers crossed it's working as expected now.
