Can i flash this 2.3 version with new rom of 2.3.6??? kindly let me know
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I don't see why not. :)

Do a backup in recovery before flashing just in case.

Hehe good but...try to use the phone a little :D we know that all kernel perform pretty much on par in deep sleep.

Right now i'm at 64% after 4 hours with data on 90% of the time and screen on about 50%. I've been browsing, using tapatalk and also texting with whatsapp for a few minutes. For me good battery life means getting at 12 and still having more than 50% battery left with my kind of usage (hardcore). So i'd say it's pretty good so far ;)

FEATURES

Can be flashed on Samsung ROMs and AOSP Based ROMS. Currently all Samsung 2.3.4 & 2.3.5 based ROMS, CM7 and MIUI ROMS are supported.

Since it was mentioned that its meant to be for 2.3.4 & 5 hence this query..:)

there are ROMs in 2.3.6 using it allready, but i had the same quastion
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ciprianc84:
Hi, everyone. I am using criskelo v32, 2.3.6, and flashed siyah 2.3. However, last night the network dropped, the phone showed no signal, while another phone was working fine in the same network. After a reboot everything seemed fine, I had network but no internet. Also, just out of curiosity, I tried to call me from another phone and the phone appeared to be closed, despite apparently operating normaly. I have " lost call function" on, so after I disconnected the call I received a message saying " you have been called by..." so apparently the phone was somehow connected to the network but it could not receive any calls. Switched back to 2.2i and it seems ok now. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blk15:
2.3 seems to be consuming significantly more battery in comparison to 2.2i and 2.2 b3 however might note that I am currently on my first full charge after updating kernel...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kungvn:
after 11h 30 min: screen on 1h 33 min and listen music 30 min with screen off,

I have 72% remaining of battery. good?? :D

sr my bad English :)

p/s rom: turbkey v29 with Siyah 2.3
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jim-bo:
well, I have thee times now (since installing 2.3 yesterday) got problems with apps going runaway and burning up battery at a scary rate. - 20% per hour with screen off, phone got hot in my pocket and I "fixed" it.

Funny thing is that it was a different app each time, and two of them haven't had new versions in months.

Could be coincidence, but.... I'm going to switch to 2.2 for a day or two to see what happens there. Now to recharge my phone, which has been unplugged for 3.5 hours and has 27% charge left O.o

NTFS mount

Hi all, I am using Omega's ICS V8 ROM which uses SiyahKernel 2.3, it states in the kernel info that it supports NTFS auto mount but I am unable to get my phone to recognise any NTFS drive, I am using an external powered HDD, if I format it to FAT32 it picks up ok but not NTFS.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rauschkugl:
This was answered here a lot of times. If you search the threat you should find it.

I don't know how it can be done atm.

Did you wipe dalvik and cache after 2.3 install? I've got similar happenings when forgotten to do that..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
Thats nice, post the same when your battery reaches below 5%
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] taqri85:
Great kernel. Great development. Thank you for v2.3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blk15:
Only wiped the dalvik. Will wipe the cache now and see what happens after a full charge.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crs87:
Thank you for this wonderfull kernel! I have made a mirror to support your work.

You can download SiyahKernel v2.3 from below

>>> SiyahKernel v2.3 CWM <<<

>>> SiyahKernel v2.3 Odin <<<

You need to wait 5 seconds (check status in the upper right corner). Then click "Skip Ad" or "Skippa Annonsen". Then the download will start automatically.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bulla80:
Hi rauschkugl, thanks for the reply, I have searched but not found an answer, the kernel info states it is possible but no one seems to know how, I an just asking if someone can tell me how to do it.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adivorandroid:
GREAT WORK MAN!

I have only one problem when i set SetCpu to 100mhz sleep freq.....my cell freeze and i must reload rom and kernel :mad:

Please solve this problem :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rauschkugl:
It was explained here different times. I'm a 100% sure. But i can't remember the pages and don't use it myself so i can't help you further on this.

All CPU are not equal.

My phone can run 99.9% 100-1200 mHz, unfortunately yours can't. Set the CPU to min 200 mHz and your problem should go away.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] adivorandroid:
Yes....i use now with this value ;)

And undervolt:

100Mhz @ 775mV

200Mhz @ 800mV

500Mhz @ 825mV

800Mhz @ 950mV

1000Mhz @ 1050mV

1200Mhz @ 1150mV

1400Mhz @ 1275mV

1600Mhz @ 1350mV
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kungvn:
I think 500 must be higher

It's mine:

100-755

200-820

500-875

800-950

1000-1050

1200-1150

No problem, no freeze, :D

Dear Gökhan,

thank you very much for your unique, hard work and your sacrificially support !

I have never seen a dev so enthusiastic and productive like you are, my dear. It was a wonderful time and a pleasure for us to test every single beta !!!

I wish you a pleasant and exciting time in Istanbul, ;)

and maybe one day you will come back, and there will rock a Siyah 4.0 !!!!!

God bless you

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marcusjt:
v2.3 seems great other than that the auto-brightness setting is too dark to be useful. Please increase it again so that the default is less extreme, and those more obsessed with power saving can still go out of their way to tweak the brightness setting further.

Would be ideal if there was some sort of auto-brightness tuner app (e.g. with slider), do you know of one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheiPhoneKiller:
has anyone tested on kk5 2.3.6 yet?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
have you tested the search function?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bervin:
when your steps don't go up or down by 25mv they automatically get reverted back to stock values so that means your 100/200MHZ steps are running stock values:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
Voodoo sound will never happen on the sgs2. Different soundchip than the sgs1 which doesn't allow the same functionallity, so it's not a kernel related problem. A search for this in the sgs2 forum would have brought up that answer btw...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
We don't have a voodoo sound chip in SGS2.

could someone please upload a sample script with the 30second delay? im' having some trouble with scripts not loading after a reboot, should be cause i placed the sleep 30 line at the wrong place.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
You should put it right between the "#/system/bin/sh" line(or whatever your first line is) and the second line that has something in it.It should work if all else is ok.

Also,I think it needs quotes.It should be "sleep 30".I could be wrong though.

My settings/firmware/software below...UK phone...what can i update please...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vnvman:
Ok, time for a little report about battery life using 2.3@1.2 ghz (ondemand) with some undervolting:

I unplugged the phone this morning at 7 a.m. and i had a morning of really heavy use with data connection always on, continuous browsing and tapatalking, a couple phone calls, texting with whatsapp and about an hour of music. The screen has been on for about 60-70% of the time till midday, when i had 58% battery left. Right after lunch i went running, so i used My Tracks (my gps tracking app) for 45 minutes. Right after that i had to meet some people around the town for work, so i listened to some more music plugging my phone via a audio-in cable while i was driving. I received 4-5 calls in the process, about 5 minutes each. I got back home about an hour ago, downloaded a couple apps and played a little with tapatalk. Right now i have 1% battery left, so i guess i'll switch the battery with the fully loaded spare that i have, then god willing i'll party all night with some friends. Let's roll :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] schizovivek:
so u on oxygen or cm7 nightly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vnvman:
Nope, i'm taking a break from aosp now: CheckRomRevoHD 3.1.1 :cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xBlackDroid:
Really? Ive a big battery drain.. =/ do you lose battery when the pone is sleep?

Motorola Xoom, Overclock 1.4 Ghz, Tiamat Moray
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
With this kind of usage my phone would have spat me in the face and its battery would be more dead than a dead zombie. :p

Don't get me wrong,my settings are to blame.1.6Ghz doesn't really play very nicely with the battery. :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vnvman:
Well to be honest it feels like 2.3 eats a bit more battery when idle compared to some of the previous versions, but i haven't done a proper comparison yet because i was on cm at that time...

@tolis626: imho it really depends on the apps you have: if you look at cpu spy you'll notice that the phone doesn't spend much time at the highest frequency during normal use, most of the time it stays between 500 and 800 mhz, so i guess overclocking isn't that bad for battery life after all, it should reduce it just a little (unless you play games) ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Yeah,that's right and all,but the culprit is in red colouring. ;)

I have become obsessed with ShadowGun and Blood And Glory lately and play these two whenever I have a break of more than 15 minutes.Throw my 400MHz GPU overclock,my almost full screen brightness and my almost 300 apps in the equation with my 1.6GHz CPU,and you got yourself one hell of a battery drainer. :D

Crap aside,battery life isn't all that bad for my use.My Desire HD didn't exactly make it through the day with about the same usage,but not so much gaming.The S2 has juice left for when I return home,so I'm more than happy.

Something is draining my battery lately though when idling,but I can't seem to find out what it is.It's not syncing stuff as I checked that.It must be some app,but nothing shows up in BetterBatteryStats or anything.CPUSpy clearly shows that deep sleep ain't my phone's only favourite state though.Will see... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] karlesg:
Yes I know I'm going way back here, but is it in your plans to lift those limitations? Is it doable?

Personally I'd like to apply a completely different cpu scaling logic than simply oc'ing or uc'ing some steps.

For example a scaling like 1204/1152/1100/1000/800/500/200/100 MHz or something like that combined with the lulzactive's philosophy, I think can perform better battery and performance wise compared with the "default" scaling 1200/1000/800/500/200/100 combined with lulzactive.

This could also be better for other governors too. Having the ability to add extra steps between the stock steps and generally completely tweak the cpu's scaling, I believe it can make a big difference depending the governor's logic and parameters.

But I don't know if this feature is easy to be implemented or not... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] olifee:
(concerning inclusion of tun.ko)

It is not needed. Tunneling support is built into kernel, as can be seen in /proc/config.gz:

CONFIG_TUN=y

I personally use tunneling in the vpnc-implementation for android (VPN Connections-app) to access my university's VPN and it works fine.

If there is an app that wants to load tun.ko without first checking whether it already works, that's certainly an error in the app. Which app are you trying to use? Maybe I find it useful, too, and can look for a workaround ;).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Radikaal:
~1d12h and 6h10m screentime and % went to 1, with KK5 Rom, siyah 2.3, standard battery. Im always happy if i can get 6h or above screentime, i don't think my battery can push out more unless i use phone very lightly when i use it and undervolt/underclock it alot and have darkest settings, but this i don't want to do, i always look for the best performing combos and after that comes battery aslong its not major difference.

Must say amazing job on the lulzactive governor, super smooth.

Seems to drain a little more in idle i also notice - but might very well be ROM issue. Was awake for a long time with screen off, im having same apps as always and never get this usual, but im on both a new ROM and new kernel so i need time to pinpoint it down with betterbatterystats.

Hi guys, I need some help.

I'm on 2.3 but I got the same error on 2.2 and 2.1 I'm actually using MIUI so i don't really know if it is a roms problem or kernel, i guess kernel because of graphic drivers.

When I'm using a 3d game that need to get lots of graphics kinda Asphalt6 when use nitro, I can see my wallpaper diffuse with the game.

Can somebody using miui try it?

Have you checked kernel wakelocks as well? BBS has both partial and kernel wakelocks in the latest version
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Well,in partial wakelocks there is only PowerAmp's service on top,but that too has a negligible percentage.In kernel wakelocks I get:

1)"vbus_present" with 10h 51m and 45.3%

2)"AudioOutLock" with 2h 44m 29s and 11.4%

3)"bln_wake_lock" with 1h 19m 40s and 5.5%

4)"PowerManagerService" with 51m 32s and 3.6%

There are many others but are nearly 0%,so I don't even bother.If these give you a clue,be my guest.Thanks for trying to help though.If you have any ideas tell me. :)

From the way you replied to his post, i assumed you didn't know he is the reason why we all whine about "wakelocks". Next time, be careful :D

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Yep,I didn't,it's true.I don't remember where I know him from though... :o

Finally I tried with theme app to upload this rar file using import theme, after selecting, It just disappeared like a stupid computer virus. I could not find any where rar file in phone. No offense, but I just restored from my backup for any case.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
vbus_present = charger connected

AudioOutLock = never seen that one high before, time to dig through the sources - were you playing MP3s by any chance?

bln_wake_lock = Active BLN notifications hold a wakelock, inhibiting deep sleep

PowerManagerService = Partial userland wakelocks, these should show individually as normal wakelocks in BBS.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
No, it's always present, but 2.6.35.12 and higher hide it (at least for suspend/resume usage). The drain is still there.

Android OS is a catch-all for anything that runs with root privileges - for example, if you run a program with an infinite loop that eats all CPU as root, AOS will go to almost 99%. If you run that program with the same UID as an app - it'll make it look like the app is using 99% of battery. So there are plenty of OTHER things that could cause Android OS to appear high.
