config interface files (which reside in initramfs that is packed into the kernel image) may have some bugs and they will be updated.

but kernel source files will no longer be updated (although I have made 3 exceptions to that statement to fix some bugs, I will no longer add new features)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Vaedryn:
Fantastic :) i switch cm9 cm7 for the moment but with your first kernel release for cm9 ( before or after source will be there ) i will switch forever to cm9 :)

Last Gingerbread Kernel he is releasing. No more kernels from him for versions 2.3.X of Android. He will now be working on ICS (Ice Cream Sammich) 4.0.X

He also states that he will still fix bugs, but not increase the number. So we will not see any new features, but he will have multiple builds of 2.6.13 if he finds some bugs that are causing issues. Such as we are on build 96 of 2.6.13, where he has fixed some issues people were seeing in Recovery etc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Vaedryn:
One last question Gokhan, will we see a new thread for ics kernel or will it be continue here? :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
C'mon then,hurry up! :p

I was running CM9 all day today and I have to say,I'm pretty disappointed to come back to Gingerbread.It's fast too,it's smooth(not quite as much as ICS,but still I'm using Siyah so it's better than it used to be),it's more stable and functional at the moment,but it lacks in many aspects and is far less polished.However,running ICS at 1200Mhz is a little faster(or maybe as fast,I can't tell) and smoother than Gingerbread at 1600MHz.I'm dying to try an overclocked Siyah on ICS. :D

Anyway,I'd like to congratulate you Xan and Gokhan.You've outdone yourselves again with ExTweaks.Configuring things now seems much cleaner than with scripts and apps.Bravo guys. :)

Try disabling OC/UV?

Get a logcat/demsg when it SODs and post it here :)

I'm sure ADB still works in SODs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Most likely something is crashing in LPM.

My guess would be kinteractived, that's why I nuked the interactive governor.

Grab a dump of /proc/last_kmsg when it happens - it'll say why LPM crashed.

Is it possible to get a flashable zip? I don't have a usb cable to flash using odin
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
CWM app or Mobile Odin.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
May be the interactive worker thread problem came back when lulz and smart was reverted.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] luxm4n:
why not available CWM Flashable version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
Because, for the 897,365th time (do you even read/follow this thread ?) Gokhan has chosen to remove the CW flashable zips. That's his right, it's his kernel. Not yours or mine.

Use Mobile Odin, Odin itself or CWM app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iXNyNe:
Just go get mobile Odin. Be careful with desktop Odin though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] luxm4n:
Problem with CWM?

ok,,,

-bfq typo is fixed in config xml (it should have been bfq, not bfs, in i/o sched config)

-removed staycount configs from config.xml (I noticed that I forgot to implement them when droidphile asked me where the misc device is :) )

now, making a nandroid+titanium backup and installing cm9 :)

Hey GM, how about the interactive governor hang issue? The one Entropy512 pointed out?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vivmar:
Please,someone with more experience can help me?

i have checkrom v6,with mobile odin 2.15 pro and i'm trying to flash latest Siyah .tar file on my device.

so,i have installed app from market,i have downloaded additional file with WIFI,i have chosed kernel partition and the .tar file from internal sd ,after,clic on flash.

it seem like start to flash (i see some text) but nothing happens,it doesn't do anything,no reboot to recovery,no errors...and,of course i'm still on old kernel....even if i reboot phone

Also,as suggested on OP,i have tryed DarkyOTA app from maket,but i have same situaton,nothing happens when i choose .tar file...

any help?what i can do?( i really want learn how to use this tool)

thx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
there shouldn't be an issue with interactive governor in the latest version because I made some changes in interactive governor. the worker thread is created after the governor has been selected and it doesn't get caught by hung_task_timeout. The interactive governor is from newer kernel and it uses idle notifier. I did not revert it back and make the same fix. Entropy512 is right about the problem. the previous version was causing issues.

I did not notice any SOD using lulzactive, smartassv2, ondemand and conservative for the last week.

they may be related with UV/OC.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ole12:
I got svnet and svnet-dormacy kernel-wakelock every time I switch of wifi with siyah kernel. Never happens with other kernels. How do I fix?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
No, not SOD, but more towards the phone turning on when plugged in (when it's off).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ercxar:
I think you can turn off dormancy to get rid of those, type *#9900# and then disable fast dormancy, But I might add that I don't know the effects that may this brings to your phone but I did it for myself and didn't notice anything wrong!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cheewaca:
Hello gokhan, the bug auto turn on after 2 minutes when the phone is turn off and i put it to charge is still present in the last build 112.

the device doesn't stay turned off when plugged?

ok. droidphile is right. it is related with lulzactive reverts.

I will fix it and upload new version for those who want their device turned off while plugged-in and charging.

Hi coloxim,

have you tried to use Chainfire's No Moar Powah from the Market???

It's very useful (and you can flash over the Iron interface)

Bye:cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SergioA:
Hi gokhanmoral, first of all a big grazie for your great work!

A little request if it's not a trouble for you, can yo add the "build" number (e.g. Siyah-v2.6.13#112.tar) to the files you're uploading, so that it's easier to find out if we have the latest release?

Thanks again and Ciao from Italy ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xsycox:
Correct. Thanks for the update. Can you leave a note when it is done? Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coloxim:

I guess you don't check your PM :)

I sent you a test version. if it works then it is done.

I cannot flash back to GB before the evening to test it.

EDIT: it is done. just received a positive feedback from droidphile. you can redownload from my blog. and thanks to desean, I have uploaded the files to his unix hosting.

the change is pushed to bitbucket (another tiny change in lulzactive governor to prevent it's thread to start before selecting it)

Thanks Gokhan, the spontaneous reboot after a few minutes when charging while phone switched off issue is resolved. Much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] geomax45:
It's easier than all that:

You have the .tar on your phone. Go to "Open file..." navigate to the kernel .tar file and select it. You'll go back to the main screen. Go down to "Flash Firmware" and select. It will be over in a couple of seconds.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xsycox:
Oh, sorry, mate, I have been sitting in the underground while I wrote you here in the forum. I just arrived home from working.

Thanks for the fast update. Now, I guess, all bugs should be sorted out/fixed, as long as nobody else has found something new. :)

114 Mhz not in ExTweaks

as in the title....in ExTweaks there isn't the possibility to put GPU 1st step (in nearly stage of boot) to 114Mhz (and so with 800mV)....geko says to put it to 850mV.

And you GM???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] droidphile:
You can use a script for the same. Undervolt GPU too much and you'll end up with 1) Navigation Apps - Immediate Crash, especially on 3d views 2) Games - crash.

So be careful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dskies:
"When in doubt, use brute force"

Until now I've been using manual init.d script to put GPU freq to 114-267 with 800-950mV and everything is fine.

I'm also on 800mV for 100Mhz CPU freq and I have never had any problem but I think I'm lucky about the CPU production lot ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
You can go and edit /res/customconfig/customconfig.xml and add an entry for 114MHz so you can then select it in ExTw. I left out that frequency for the sake of simplicity. 800 (good luck) 400 267 200 160 133 114 100 89 80 73 67 62 57 53 50 47 44 42 40 .... are valid frequencies.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kondronaute:
i try that yesterday but after reboot it erase all and give default customconfig.xml and defaultprofile :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Is something wrong with the download server?

ERROR: can't find the server at gokhanmoral.desean.net

EDIT: There it is again !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Unfortunately, it needs to be edited in the initramfs itself - so you need to either unpack/repack it, or rebuild from gokhan's source.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I was about to write the same.

I can make modifications in initramfs and link /res/customconfig to /data/customconfig if /data/customconfig exists but it would be too much for an interface which is supposed to be simple and targeting novice users.

those who are proficient enough to edit customconfig.xml may edit /data/.siyah/default.profile manually or use init scripts.

there is no single interface for everything and init scripts may be considered as another interface which targets advanced users.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marekPLPH:
Hi Gokhan. Once again thanks for this wonderful kernel. But after flashing your last update I observed that when I press the volume buttons, even though in settings its says its maxed, the icons still in half. I don't know if its kernel related or not pls. Refer to the images.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Most likely a rom issue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marekPLPH:
Yeah got fixed now.. Sorry for the false alarm... :-(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] d3l1:
I second this, it's really hard to keep track of all the builds and which one is the newest, did I download the newest ... Adding the build number to the file name would be a great help, maybe if you would be so kind you could also add a changelog of the the changes made during each build? I know they are small but maybe linking a textfile next to the kernel files that shows the newest fixes in the recent build would be very helpful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I agree, adding build number would help. but there won't be another build and I didn't think I would build this many 2.6.13s or I would increase the version number.

in the last build I was on ICS. It was tested by some users, not by me, because I didn't want to introduce any previous bugs because of an unplanned revert.

I'm now repacking an ICS kernel and I won't be making any other releases if there is no very serious bug.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SergioA:
Hi gokhanmoral, glad you're already working on ICS :D

A little question off-topic, what are your first impressions of ICS and what ROM are you testing, is it CM9?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kondronaute:
hi gokhan

I had little problems, it may be because I put the different versions one after the other without ever clearing caches. this time I clean everything with a kernel cleaner and I reinstalled the siyah13. since it's going much better.:D

by the way where you get the rom CM9 that you test i want to try it too :p

thank for all man
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sid9922:
Hi guys..here are some screenshot of my result.and setup.with Siyah 2.6.13 and Extweaks app..this rrsults are with bfq+ondemand and 200-1000mhz with a lil heavy use..View attachment 934010View attachment 934011View attachment 934013View attachment 934016View attachment 934017View attachment 934019View attachment 934020View attachment 934021View attachment 934022View attachment 934023

I just change those values that are in my screenshot for extweaks app and the other settings in that app,i just leave it as stock.. This settings for me is freaking smooth all the way..

I think this a good result so far.. Thanks to gokhan for the amazing kernel and geko for his amzing startup guide..

I think i can get better result..i will let my setting,the kernel and my phone a coupke more days to settle and i will post here my results..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I am on cm9 and my first impression is very positive.

however, there are still some bugs which are known and should not be reported to CM9 dev thread or the developers will be pissed.

I have booted my first custom kernel (not compiled but repacked) with somewhat modified old uniform initramfs on cm9 but got lots of forcecloses with LPH kernel. I think I am missing something.

I will move to latest samsung leak and then work on CM9 after having a stable repack.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xsycox:
I was wondering, anyway, how it is possible to work on a new kernel, if there are no sources. Also, I thought there are no ROM sources out.

... and I never liked those leaked betas. I think, I will wait until there is a stable/final Checkrom Revolution version (with ICS).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I am working only on initramfs. our kernel image consists of mainly two parts: a kernel binary and an initramfs which is mounted as the root filesystem when the kernel is loaded.

for now, cm9 also uses samsung leaked ICS kernel as there are no sources out but they have replaced the initramfs.

the main difference between CM9 kernel and cfroot's ICS kernels are the initramfs part.

I will try wanamlite today and if it works at least as well as cm9, I will stay on that one and try to build another repack which is similar to this one.

then when the sources are out, all I need to do is to recompile and pack.

the thing I am doing right now won't have a big advantage over cfroot kernels, maybe extweaks interface will work for some config options.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lulavc:
As per your pics, you had over 5 hours of Screen On on heavy usage. At least is what i can take from 9+ hours os battery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xsycox:
Alright, that explains a lot. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sid9922:
Yeah mate..also take note that i start with just 91% battery level mate..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
I wonder if that might be some weird side effect of the issue with newer Samsung ICS kernels disabling secure containers when a custom kernel is detected.

BTW, have you considered moving to git + Github for ICS work? I realize it might be a bit of a learning curve - but it should pay off in the long term since git is the revision control system used by the mainline Linux kernel itself (heck, git was designed for that task), AOSP, and Cyanogenmod.

Plus github seems to crash/timeout less than bitbucket. Bitbucket gives me the "Something kicked the bucket" error page far more often than github dies. Also, showing history of a directory is really useful (I use it even on my own source sometimes...) as is being able to pull up any revision of a file on the web interface (seems REALLY difficult to do on bitbucket).

Last but not least: octocat > bucket! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BenG7:
Hi,

Recently the Beats audio libraries were made available for all ginderbread roms...

I was wondering whether these libraries are part of the Android kernel...

If so any chance of including them as part of SiyahKernel - or am I pushing it here as I read this would be the last version of SiyahKernel (shame!!!)...

Consider it as a the last final glorious touch? ;o)

Thanks a lot

ExTweaks vs. JKay Deluxe settings

Hi guys,

Is it OK to use ExTweaks with JKay application installed?

Some settings can be tweaked by both of them (screen brightness steps)

Will this be a problem and which setting will be valid?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
1) They're userspace

2) Even on HTC, they're nothing but a crappy equalizer preset. Beats is all hype and no technical merit

3) As others have said - just like the Mobile Bravia Engine ports, Beats when ported to other devices actually did nothing.

OK to use them both. They actually affect brightness in two completely different ways.

JKay alters the 4-5 steps that the system firmware uses to map light sensor readings into backlight brightness settings given to the kernel. These values are in a range of 0-255.

The kernel tweaks alter how the values from 0-255 are mapped into actual brightness settings to the hardware. FYI, there are only 25 brightness steps actually available. The ExTweaks stuff affects how 0-255 get mapped to those steps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
svn to github would be a big step but mercurial to github is not...

I already have created github acct and I will try to get used to it.

I agree.. bitbucket is sometimes ****bucket... but it let me have private repositories, and for some reason I don't know I have unlimited private users plan for free (which is normally $80/month)

I hope there is no bitbucket admin using my kernel and fix that because I should have 5private users plan for free, normally. :)

I would love to patch hundreds of files with a single command instead of making the merges manually :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] uzirox:
I hope this is Kernel related (I'm not into this kind of things): there is any way to "incorporate" this into Siyah? It's a 2g/3g auto-switch when the phone is idle, to save battery.

If it has nothing to do with kernel, sorry! :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Thats rom related not kernel related, generally if its an app, its rom.
