@gokhanmoral

hi,

having certain issues with 2.6.6 and 2.6.6-i

in occasions, when playing music (and screen is off), the music player skips the song

and the screen becomes on.

i have tried different schedulers and governors, but the bug remains.

i don't use bus undervolt.

not having this issue with the same music player and siyah-2.6.4

thx

Thanks Gokhan. I can report that the MTP issue is fixed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I want to thank especially to hawkerpaul for his patience in testing and helping me to find out the problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zaphod777:
gokhanmoral I wonder if this is something that can be implemented in the kernel. When you are using a data only SIM is there some way to tell the phone to stop looking for a voice enabled connection?

What happens is the phone just keeps searching and searching and drains that battery very quickly. You are basically forced to keep it in airplane mode until you want to use it.

This isn't something wrong with your kernel it is a universal problem I was just wondering if it was something you might know how to fix. I don't know if it is as easy as just enabling or disabling something. Since it is not an issue with tablets I assume it can be done I just have no idea how.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hawkerpaul:
No worries Gokhan. Glad I could assist you.

Just trying out the official 2.6.7 release now.

The interim version I had yesterday seemed to be quite battery unfriendly for me compared to 2.6.6. Overnight drain was 1% per hour, compared to 0.5% per hour on 2.6.6.

Can't flash new v2.6.7 kernel with CWM

I can't seem to flash the new v2.6.7 kernel with CWM (I'm upgrading from v2.6.6). I've extracted the zImage file and placed in the external SD card. When I select the file in CWM nothing happens - it just returns to the CWM main screen and does not reboot.

Any help would be much appreciated
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Higgins12:
Don't extract, flash the .zip File
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hawkerpaul:
why are you extracting the zImage file?

Just flash the .zip with CWM recovery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Beaverman33:
If I try to select the zip file it says

"Kernel flash failed !

No zImage was found."
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Higgins12:
From where you try to Flash? The CWM App or direct in CWM Recovery? If you try from the App .. reboot to CWM Recovery and flash from there.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Beaverman33:
Hi Higgins12,

Yes, I was using the app. Booting into recovery has done the trick - I should have thought of that first . . . Doh!

Much appreciated
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sgsgs:
If you are using the App, you should use "Flash update" instead of "Flash kernel".

About to try 2.6.7. Phone has become super unstable with 2.6.6, with ondemand battery usage was really high, running with a low proportion of deep sleep. Tried lulzactive which sleeps deep but phone has locked up twice in the last 12 hours.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
lulzactive doesn't have a sampling down factor :/

Ondemand has it and by default in 2.6.6i, it's 4.

Are you UVing? Try not UVing and try lulzactive.

Use Conservative + SIO instead, and try ThunderBolt! ? :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] XDA mark:
I have a question about .. well, which one to use: Lulzactive or Ondemand.

I know it has been said try it out yourself, but there have to be some hard facts about these goveners that are not device specific. I have been using Lulzactive forever, since it is described as "one of the favorites" in the pinned thread in general about goveners. Now I switched to ondemand for half a day when Lulzactive was going "turbo mode" in 2.6.6 (it sticked to 1200MHz). But I still don't have a clear picture of which is better.

Sincw your setup is quite similar to mine, and we use the same rom (VillainROM 3.0), I wanted to ask you (not that anybody else can't answer, please do): lulzactive or ondemand?!

Also Mr. SiyahKernel himself uses Ondemand, so I'm really starting to think I should switch to hat govener. ^^

Thanks in advance for anybody that can give some info/a opinion abou this

Edit: wait, you switched to another rom?! :P No more VillainROM.. my bad.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
Gokhan

I see you have implemented use of idle notifier in smartassv2 in 2.6.7. Wasn't there an idle notifier before? I mean in the original v2? How else would smartass detect a cpu idle loop to scale down rapidly.

Just curious :)

If not many people is interested in lulzactive anymore, i will remove "one of the favorites" tag for lulzactive from the thread :)

I have repeated so many times, and i do it once again: One should know exactly how lulzactive works to be able to love it. Else you will end up wondering "what the.....!"

ondemand works on simple principle: Scale up based on demand. That too, scale up all the way when there's 'enough' demand. Then scale down gradually.

Lulzactive is an interactive based governor, interactive based governors detects CPU idle loop to make scale up/down decisions. When CPU is idle for some-time, interactive governors assumes no scale up is required, and when CPU comes out of idle loop, interactive governors makes the decision to scale CPU. Since up and down threshold for lulzactive is the same cut-off frequency, it takes time & patience to tune it to our like.

After rate multiplier was removed ondemandx/ondemand is more reliable, smooth and battery friendly and that's why Gokhan (even myself and many others) are using ondemand(x).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rampler:
After flashing 2.6.7 luzactive app doesnt work anymore at boot time.

I think the cause for that is, that the default governer ist changed to ondemand. VC will switch the governer after 20 seconds to luzactive (sleep20), in the meanwhile lulzactive app is trying to make the settings, but with no sucess, because ondemand is active.

On earlier releases (2.4.2) all was working very well.

What can i do, in order to get the luzactive app working on boot ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
Instead of using VC script to set governor to lulzactive and using lulz app to tweak it, simply use an init.d script for the same.

Give full permissions to scaling max frequency file before setting max freq and give read-only permissions after.

chmod 777 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

echo "your-scaling-max-freq" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

chmod 444 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] XDA mark:
Thank you! ... and I truly mean it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
Right but it wasnt using THE idle notifier which is taken from arighi's sources which is similar to new linux kernels idle notifier. I made the same modification for lulzactive governor and also updated the interactive governor which already use that notifier.

And i think you mean the screen state notification. I mean something else.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] legendasboy:
Im gonna try your config with 2.6.7

with 2.6.6i had 2 sod dont know if they where related from the uv or if just because of the kernel. my setup is the same has yours VR 3.0 + KI3 and never had SOD with the VR stock kernel.

Ps- Not anymore you flashed a new rom :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hi mate, yeah I've switched from Villain to FoxHound which is KL1 base simply because I wanted new features. So far everything is flying, and possibly even more battery efficient. Could be placebo effect though. Won't know for sure until couple of days passes. Gotta say though, it's just as stable as villain.

With regards to the governors, I used to try lulz on occasion but it had never produced outstanding results for me so I always favour either conservative, smartassV2 or ondemand(x).

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on The Enterprise.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] XDA mark:
Yeah, I have been thinking about switching too for the same reason. Good to hear your feedback about that particular ROM. I have been thinking about Hyperdroid, but am still researching about it. It is sad because VillainROM is fantastic, but no updates for a long time (months?) has made it incompatiable with some things.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah, I looked at Hyperdroid as well but it repulsed me to see how many extra things you have to install just to mod it the way you want.

I researched all 3 in fact, CheckROM, Hyperdroid and FoxHound.

I will be in favour of VillainROM forever though, since that was the first ROM I put on my SGS2 the day I got it 7 months ago and I worked with the team as well. Honestly, I hadn't changed ROMs till yesterday so it's quite nice to be using something else for a change.

Ok, enough OT convo lol

birdman...foxy v3.0 plus new ICS with siyah rocks...and so far my battery results are super dooper..:D im rocking the new foxy....Hyperdroid though is a class in its own right and those guys are great in what they do.:) anyway regarding siyah Gokhan you really outdo yourself mate with each version i so far have not had any problems and with combination of scripts by Pikachu and my own settings this is brilliant...I am surprised that not alot use smartassv2 no more
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah ninjadroid, all the mods and additions are very impressive. I found it all to be a bit heavy though.

Anyways, I think the min freq should be implemented im smartassV2 just as it was in V1. Maybe then I would start using it again more frequently.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Yes my friend regarding smartassv2 for me i find it that phone sleeps alot better instead when i was trying Lulzactive...Maybe it is just me but anyway as long as i getting a balance of both performance and battery its all good...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rampler:
Thanks for the information, now i use a script for inc_cpu_load and so one, but IMHO the app is the better way...

Why do we need a sleep 20 in the scripts ? In earlier releases we havent ..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah, all smartassV2 needs is locked low frequency when screen is off. Say 500Mhz. :)

At the moment I stand by ondemand + noop.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
You mean there's a sleep 20 in VC scripts now? Xan added 20 secs delay to prevent media scanner or something that reverts scaling max freq back to 1200 mhz.

I think best (and dirty) way is to change permissions like i suggested. Your scaling max freq will stick, and that too immediately after boot, without any delay.

Using lulz app to change tweaks is not the 'better' way, but 'easier' way :)

Lesser the number of apps that start on boot, better it is...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rampler:

==> Totally agree

I think best (and dirty) way is to change permissions like i suggested. Your scaling max freq will stick, and that too immediately after boot, without any delay.

==> Without the sleep statement in the VC script, the settings will be lost after reboot. (on my side)

Of course i change the permission bits to 777

With the newest Cyanogen 7 nightly build and the SiyahKernel 2.6.7 USB is not working again. It charges the phone, but MTP isn't recognized. You can't copy files to the SD card!!!

But it worked with an official Samsung ROM!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PedroMRP:
You have to enable the usb mass storage to copy files to the phone...

On the samsung rom with stock kernel the MTP automatically deals with the file transfers with asop roms and custom kernels to transfer file to the phone you need to enable the usb mass storage so the pc can recognize the phone like a usb storage device.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
I think it's hard to make a kernel for AOSP and Samsung. One works for one and doesn't work for another.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
yes, there are some differences. I hope that it will not be so in ICS.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
I've tested Lulzactive with Samsung music player. Listening to the music does indeed scale the frequency to the highest 1.2GHz, but, that's only in a small percentage.

Try this: Play music for 2minutes at least. I've gotten 1.2GHz at about 1% of the time with 99% of the time in 100MHz.

Pretty amazing if I might say so myself. It only needs to scale 1.2GHz at only 1% of the time.

If you're playing only 5secs of music, yes, you'll get 1.2GHz taking > 75% of the time.

Bluetooth file transfer still not working

Hello all,

can one check, if Bluetooth file transfer is working with V2.6.x? I have two SGII both same Firmware/Kernel and since V2.5.x from Siyah Kernel, I cannot transfer files between both devices. Everything else (Headset/Car/ODB) is working well, just file transfer fails....

With V2.6.7 still BT transfer is not working for me...

Any hints?

Thank you

Hmm thats really strange. I enabled USB Debugging just for testing and suddenly usb mass storage was working. But now it isn't working again. Whats wrong here? Fresh install of Cyanogen Mod everything wiped und SiyahKernel 2.6.7 installed. But i can't geht mass storage to work?!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] plop974:
Didn't say I could not copy files. But without enabling mass storage to copy file. If I unplug the phone. Media scan start running but doesn't scan anything.

I don't really mind and did not notice before someone else posted about it.

If I enable mass storage, I can copy files and media scanner takes longer to execute (normal behaviour AFAIK).

EDIT : After enabling mass storage and disabling it, media scanner scan normally and reexecute a second time when the cable is unplugged like said before.

I have big problems with v 2.6.6i and 2.6.7 too, on rom Androidmeda v5.2.21. No fluidity, lag in browser, SOD.

Tests antutu say a lot there, all figures are calamitous, compared with v 2.6.5, even by changing regs, results do

not vary a lot, and no improvement on the phone.

v2.6.5...............................v2.6.7 (better benchmark for this realise, sometimes, in soldiers bench, fps are not enough 25/30)

Return to v2.6.5, better battery life VS v2.6.6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Thats weird, as 2.6.7 is working perfectly here, same old UV/ GPU UC and my fluidity and benchmarks are fine. Are you using any extra init.d scripts apart from the ones that come with hyperdroid (if your sig is upto date?)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thunderteaser:
You should try setting profiles in Voltage Control. I admit I haven't tried how profiles work in VC, but I did that just fine on PimpMyCPU on the i9000. You just need to set a sleep profile with smartassv2 and set the max frequency to 500 MHz.

No script, re-flashing, to be sure not have files which would cause problems -> No change.
