Hellou,

noticed something interesting.

Using cm7 and had problems with browser. It keeps freezing and FC. Thanks to siyah 2.2b5.1 and tegrak 2nd core there is a change to disable another core.

Running now browser with one core and no FC's so far.

Has second cpu something to do with it or am I just very lucky so far??

those running MIUI with this kernel, which version is recommended? Havent tested MIUI on this device yet, any major difference between them? Seem many are experiencing great results with MIUI and this kernel i feel like trying it.

Speed & smoothness is what i envy most, then after comes batterylife/decent themes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adam1741:
I really liked miui but I really like the stock video calling application. So I reverted back to a stock rom. Miui was really smooth with the beta 6. Bit for my stock rom beta 4 s best for me battery wise. I get better battery life but I really like the idea of the 2nd core application. Just needs some more tweaks before I'll try another beta. I love this kernel though. Best in my opinion.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] danchitu86:
So KI8 Stock and Siyah 2.1 works ok?

Should I wait for Siyah 2.2 final?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] omegajester:
Try it out and let us know.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I am planning to solve emmc mounting and usb problems for cm7 (and maybe miui) in beta7.

bln notifications is not a big change to test :) I did test it on both samsung and cm7 roms, both are working fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fcnz:
Just installed this kernel through odin, worked fine, then installed CM7.1 from CWM and I'm stuck on the boot screen... Is this (this being Siyah 2.1) compatible with the latest CM7?

What ROM would you recommend? I like CM7's lightness and how fast it is. I don't need too much fancy stuff, looking for performance and battery life.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Qliratu:
I read the changelog on your wordpress site, but its a bit unclear to me if the change to bln means that u need to use cm7 parts to activate BLN?

Does this mean BLN app not working anymore?

I love my blinking leds :D cross my fingers it still works

Using your 2.2.6 beta, I found that in CWM i couldn't access the onboard memory to back up, restore or flash a new ROM. Once I re flashed 2.1.1 all was fine.

Just an FYI
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chadouming:
Look at flash zip file menu, there is flash from internal memory xD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Alienfreak:
Does your new kernel (beta7) also copy liblight libraries over MIUI which doesn't include them (I think?).

Hard to test for me without wiping my phone :)

P.S. Your Beta 6 runs like a charm on MIUI 1.11.9. Just had one or two cryptic instant reboots after booting up the phone (hasn't occured since so I have no idea what was wrong)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mcg:
Works fine with me , on nightly 108...

just reflash the ROM. the first time I did it it went on a boot loop with the yellow triangle. I booted into recovery and reflashed CM7 and all was fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] harin22:
My Battery drain shows me that main apps are cell standby - 35%, Phone Idle - 26% and Android OS 13%.

It drained 10% in 11Hrs during the night with 9hrs and 20 min of deep sleep (with WIFI On), This is during the night while I am in deep sleep :-).

Don't know why in beta6 there is more than usual batter drain.

Kernel Beta6, 100-1000Mhz, Conservative, Dynamic Hotplug Mode, Bus Frequency set to 22222110.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KcDaRookie:
Using KI8 with stock rom and Siyah Kernel since 1.8 and it works like a charm.

But dont flash 2.1, either you should choose 2.0 or 2.1.1 or just go for the latest beta.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p25o1:
i just installed the 2.2 beta 6 on HyperDroid 2.9.0 rom.

first boot took me to safe mode, second boot every thing was ok.

i'm interested to know if someone made use of removing the camera FPS limit.

I tried Lgcamera/lgcamcor from market, since it allows you to select the FPS in the video recording setting (selected 60), BUT it didn't record at that FPS.

i'm interested to test out this option, since it will make the SGS2 a cool slowmo camera.

any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chadouming:
if you flash siyah then CM7 , you will overwrite the kernel with CM default one. Get back to recovery ( (vol +) + home + power and when you see GT-I9100 logo, you release the power ) and flash CM twice then flash the kernel back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kmike9km:
sir whats wrong with 2.1? is 2.1.1 better?

i'm using 2.1 siyah, first time using a UV kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KcDaRookie:
2.1 is a little unstable and reported to have issues with SoD (sleep of death - phone falling in deep sleep and won't wake up for a while and after waking up having horrible battery loss)

In 2.1.1 this was fixed and therefore 2.1.1 is considered as the real 2.1 final kernel.

Theres also a 2.1 Dark Knight edition but thats not all Gökhans work so no alternative for me ^^
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] okries:
can this kernel using voodoo?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] devilkin:
Bug report: On beta 6 when you select the "mount usb storage" in recovery mode, it mounts the external sdcard instead of the internal one

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ny-hardcore:
I'm curious about this aswell,

note that the 1.11.11 and 1.11.4 releases of miui for sgs2 don't have the led settings option in the settings menu.

I made a CWM zip that flashes the settings.aps from 1.10.28 which seemed to work fine...

on 1.11.4 , will try the same with beta7 and miui 1.11.11

Hey guys,anyone around here having stability problems with their GPUs?

Let me explain.

I had a few crashes when playing games,for which I blamed my...violent OC/UV settings.So I ****ed my phone up with StabilityTests for the CPU.All was ok,even after half an hour of StabilityTest's scaling test.Then,trying to figure out what the problem was,I set my GPU to 200MHz/200MHz at 950mV and ran a GPU stress test.Result?Many GPU errors and crash.I did the same thing for different frequency/voltage setups(All for my low GPU clock) and finally tested the stock 160MHz at 950mV.Same errors.I even set it to 160MHz(both clocks always) at 1000mV and STILL I got errors.So,the way I see it there are three alternatives:

i)Something is very wrong with my phone

ii)StabilityTest's GPU stress test is lame

iii)There is something wrong with the kernel

I'm posting here to see if the third applies.If anyone can do a stability test for their GPUs and report back,I'd be grateful. :)

@Gohkan

Next time I get such a crash,would it help you identify the issue(if there is any) if I post my last_kmsg?I remember Hacre asking for it when we faced problems.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smitna:
Hi, in the moment there is no active module (driver) for ntfs in the kernel. A script will not help you. You can ask Gokhan to add this to his next builds or build your own ntfs module using his latest sources.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pan24:
gokhan please make ntfs combatible with this kernel

@smitna

how can i build my own ntfs module?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
Driver is present imho.

insmod /lib/modules/fuse.ko

Assuming, a folder named USBOTG in sdcard is where we want to mount,

ntfs-3g /dev/block/platform/s3c_otghcd/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/USBOTG

mount /dev/block/platform/s3c_otghcd/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/USBOTG
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
Yes, that may be helpful.

There is no ntfs module in the kernel but there is fuse module.

you can use ntfs-3g, which works better than the ntfs module in the kernel.

in beta8 (I hope) I will try to add read-only mounting of ntfs drives when they are plugged in. I am planning to use ntfs-3g and I won't enable built-in ntfs support in the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cokeman0:
For an issue with beta 6, my time has jumped +1, local fix was to remove the set time from carrier, had this in an beta on the 2.0 also
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
WTF?That's your answer to my big ass post?That made me feel bad. :p

Just joking.Ok man,will report properly next time. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smitna:
Yes, that's right - the fuse module is present. But there is no ntfs-3g/ntfsprogs installation. Or have I missed something?

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

I agree with that, ntfs-3g is the better way.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

That's not so easy. You need a "ready to go" Linux environment. It's on Gokhan's todo list. Please read his posts.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
Unfortunately, i have no OTG cable to test.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pan24:
where can i found ntfs-3g?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] future1803:
hi! this is the best kernel i've ever seen, but i have a problem :( sadly i used to make a profile in setspu called screen off, i used to put the max frec. 500 and the lowest 100 in smartassv2 using ondemandx when screen is on. After i installed the last version in the first post, when my sgs2 change the profile, screen off to screen on after deep-sleep, it just turn on the screen black and them it doesn't respond. I've cleared the cache and i did everything the second post sayds whitout results. I'm using checkrom 2.0 HD. Thank you! i'll be waiting.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Molitro:
You should actually read what the menu says. It's all there.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smitna:
Ok, a little update...

It's working with the ntfsprogs from http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/

Ex. (tested with a connected card reader and a 4 GB sdcard, ntfs formatted):

ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/block/platform/s3c_otghcd/sdc1 /data/ntfs

But the ntfsprogs are for sure not present out of the box.

Thank you for your hint!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
It's the wrong combo.

Don't use ondemandX screen on with smartassV2 screen off.

Try ondemand (screen on) with smartassv2 (screen off), or lulzactive (screen on) with smartassv2(screen off) or just use ondemandX or lulzactive without screen off profiles.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Good to know that.

And auto mount of ntfs drives in r/o mode in beta 8 would be nice.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] frogman:
I had a few crashes since i flashed 2.2b6 not playing games.I was using copilot scrolling through the maps when the phone crashed a few times.I would blame it on my Oc/Uv settings.So i reverted back to normal settings and funny thing was when i used copilot again the phone got very hot and froze and that was with no Oc/Uv.

I have tryed to reproduce this with no Oc/Uv settings again but have failed so far.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SilverMist1:
just a quick question;

which one is more battery friendly lulzactive or lagfree?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I've added ntfs-3g autoinstallation in beta7.

try it. you'll have it in your /system/xbin folder
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pan24:
so gokhan from beta 7 we will have auto-mount?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kapa75:
Hi gokhan.

Are you still working on the multiboot feature? Will you add it in 2.2 final version? :D

Are you going to release you app soon? :D

Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] future1803:
It works!! I used Ondemand (screen on) and SmartassV2 (screen off). Thanks a lot !!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
lulzactive is more battery friendly.

lagfree scales down very slowly, so it might spend more time on higher frequency compared to lulzactive.

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Beta 7 is really smooth. Lulzactive settles down to lowest frequency quickly as compared to previous betas. But Gokhan, have you changed cpu1 threshold? Multi thread runs on linpack gives lesser scores than single thread runs on hotplug mode.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smitna:
Yes, that was fast, thank you! It's working.

With a cardreader (reader - hub - otg S2) the sdcard must be insert before plug in to the hub!

@pan24

With the latest beta 7 kernel:

1. insmod /lib/modules/fuse.ko

2. /system/xbin/ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/block/platform/s3c_otghcd/sdXX [MOUNTPOINT]

for a read only mount. Please replace sdXX with the right!! partition (cat /proc/partitions)

I hope this will help you.

@Gokhan:

Gokhan, do we need the modules doubled in /lib/modules and /lib/modules/[uname -r] ?

The modules.dep.bb should be renamed to modules.dep (for modprobe etc.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
@Smitna

Also, the fuse.ko has to be loaded once after every reboot.

The tag line for litening rom suits Gokhan best. He is fast as lightning!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pan24:
THANKS SMITHA but i didnt understood well what you said about the partition.can you build an .sh script for this you said me?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smitna:
Absolutely!

I have noted one problem and I don't know if it's a kernel/driver problem or a problem with my hardware/hub:

If I unplug the hub (of course after proper unmounting etc.), the phone freezes or is rebooting immediately.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Qliratu:
aaah noo!!!

BLN application is useless now.. (beta7)i bought it just for the blinking leds.

and now that function is complete useless. any change of getting this function back??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smitna:
OK, I think you want to connect a NTFS drive (harddisk).

Connect it to the hub and open a terminal on your phone. With cat /proc/partitions you should see something like "sdc1" and the size of the partition. If so, type the things from post no #9803

If you see no error, you can make a little script of it and save it in /data/[WHATEVER] or /system/[WHATEVER] (only if mounted rw, Root Explorer is your friend) and chmod it 755

---- Example script mount_ntfs.sh

#!/sbin/ext/busybox sh

/system/xbin/insmod /lib/modules/fuse.ko

/system/xbin/ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/block/platform/s3c_otghcd/sdc1 /data/ntfs

----

Sorry, there is no autoplug in the moment... So you have to unmount your drive afterwards manually, especially in rw mode!

How to modify cpu step frequencies

Sorry for the nooby question but I cant figure out how to change the cpu frequency steps. I am using voltage control BTW. Its possible with this kernel but I cant find any instructions on how to do it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] incubus_fr:
It seems that with beta7 the 2nd core never kicks in when set to dynamic hotplug. Thus the poor results in Antutu or Linpack multithread.

It does not seem either to be rom related as I have this issue on CM7 and a friend on Samsung rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Modify the script, or use a pre built script and modify those values, you can find the voltage control script under etc/init.d.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
we have kernel image and initramfs in that zImage.

all root (/) content comes from initramfs except for the directories that are mounted during boot (such as /system /data etc)

you can find the script that copies liblights in /sbin/siyah

by the way, beta7 was not a good release. it is full of bugs :)

I am now trying to fix them one by one. I think beta8 will be a bugfix release.

so, use beta6 until then.

I will not remove beta7 from the blog because there may be people who do not use usb tethering and like touchpad lights and can live with lower scores. maybe they will discover other bugs which will make beta8 even better.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] incubus_fr:
Benchmarks are at least useful to detect scores regression ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
5800 to 6300 is not a big increase bug 6300 to 4000 is a big decrease.

beta8 may or may not be the best but it will not be as bad as beta7
