Lulzactuve seems to be problematic on the i9100 forums
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lilbigdude1:
unnamed or sensation

Ive been trying to flash this kernel for a couple days, but to no avail. so i decided to flash a different ROM and was able to flash this kernel with no problems.

I was on the Unnamed 2.2.1 and tryed flashing this kernel...no go :confused::confused: recieved a no Zimage error. but when i went to sensatioN i was able to flash this kernel first try....:confused::confused:. why was i not able to flash it while running the Unnamed ROM.

any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VFO:
First off I am using this kernel with UnNamed so I can confirm that it works with that ROM. The only thing I can suggest is make sure you are flashing the one that has att in the name.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mj0528:
So flash isxcrewd after the kernel? Won't the subsequent Rom flash overwrite syiah?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mj0528:
That doesn't sound like a good time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lilbigdude1:
OOOOOKKKAAAYYYY??????? i did use the one that has ATT in the title. because im on an ATT device. whats the difference in the kernels. so i should be able to use the kernel that was made for ATT devices... yes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgeezy24:
Cant use pattern lock while on charge with this kernel on latest UnNamed rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kest874:
Yes, but it'll get you out of the bootloop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
Yes, it will add DD kernel. I'm on icscrewed also for the first time and I had the weird reboot problem. I reflashed icscrewewd and then reflashed siyah again to get the kernel back. Running great and I love the rom, but will have to switch if it can't reboot properly.

2.6.6 seems really nice so far, using conservative governor and sio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VFO:
How are you flashing? Using CWM? I am just trying to think of reasons that it would not flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dan_maran:
The best version of this kernel for MY phone running miui has been 2.6.1 latest updates kill the battery or randomly lock the phone at 1200-1400mhz. Still running it now.

For you folks who are using this kernel and running ICScrewD....from the ICScrewD page...

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SIYAH KERNEL AT THIS MOMENT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Freddy2Fred:
Well im using the ICScrewD and this kernel and I have no problems... When I switched the governor to lulzactive, the rom started moving reaaaal smooth. It runs great. I just flash the rom then the kernel and thats it. works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JmPTaz09:
I was running it wish ICScreweD also and it ran great, but would get stuck if I rebooted manually. Hoping/assuming this doesn't happen when using DD kernel.

Hey Kadin , those are awesome numbers for 1.4. What governor were those tests on? You are not OC your GPU are you? That's one of the reasons why I was blown away by the kernel when I first tried it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
No go... I had the same issue. The phone doesn't even recognize that it is connected to a USB data connection. The international drivers didn't fix it. I didn't expect it to given the phone doesn't even recognize the connection. It charges, but that's it.

...back on Entropy's Excellent Kernel. Hopefully a fix comes soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
It was on Conservative and didn't mess with the GPU clock at all. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
I installed this on GalnetMIUI 2.11.26, and so far everything seems to work fine. I've also noticed that in the battery stats, Android OS hardly registers where before it would be the highest use. Maybe it's just being masked, I don't know. It seems like the phone wakes up a lot less than it did on the CM7 kernel. According to BetterBatteryStats, things like RILJ Dialer and a couple of others that were constantly waking up my phone no longer seem to.

I've only had it installed for a couple of hours, but it will be interesting to see how things look overnight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
That's crazy man, you are getting results very close to me

even though I was on 1.6 conservative. Can you test it on 1.6 and tell me what you are seeing? Also what rom are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
This kernel seems awesome. can't wait to give this a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Well the Quadrant was actually 1.6 that I originally posted, I grabbed the wrong one when I posted it. As to CF-Bench and Antutu, I can't get either of them to complete (both keep rebooting my phone) on 1.6 and I'm using System Tuner to change the speeds so no option for 1.5 - if there even is one. But those were indeed 1.4 as I did them back to back and you can see the speed posted in the CF-Bench screenshot. I'll run them both again in a few and post updated shots. Oh and I'm running UnNamed 1.3.1 as indicated in my sig. ;)

[EDIT]Ok just ran these again at 1.4 conservative. 1.6 simply won't complete on either for me. :(

Why the heck is this in General. This should have been in development. OP did xda move your thread? This is fantastic news by the way. I am glad i decided to look in general otherwise i would have never found out the news

Its exactly as it should be. The internal is the internal. sd is the removable. This is a huge fix for me. One thing in recovery the home button and menu button do not work. not a huge deal but hard to get used to. I miss the home button for enter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
This looks promising. I'm not trying to be the pessimist here, but Quadrant scores and the like don't mean ISH! Real world performance, etc will be the real key. How does it perform? Buggy? Crashes? FC's? Time will tell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Same here, no issues yet. Same speed as Entropy's rom. 100mhz is now avalible as well as some other governors. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
I cannot boot into cwm recovery unless i use the three finger hold. If i use quick boot, or rom manager or any other other form of reboot recovery it kicks me into the stock recovery and not cwm recovery. Anyone else notice this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
yeah, its kind of weird having to use the power button instead of home to select, but i'll get used to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:

Battery life seemed to be going down pretty fast. But I've been messing with alot of things on my phone, so I can't say for sure it was the kernel. Anyone else? How is battery life holding up for you?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kevtn8:
Based on my tests so far, its very close to Entropy's DD which was my previous kernel. But like you said I've been messing around with my phone and doing all kinds of bench tests the last 36 hours, barely slept last 2 days as I've been testing and playing around with this for Gokhanmoral before it became public. My battery seems to be draining a little fast too but I'm not sure if its the kernel or my heavy use, only time will tell.

Edit: it does, just read features in original thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
There are definitely some quirks that need to be worked out but we are on the right path. a path that i leading to a merge between i9100 and i777. Alot of things are now working like they are supposed to such as installing and backup/restores in cm to sd=external and internal=internal. CWM Manager is now fully compatible with our phones (for those who dont know this a rom manager alternative) and other various things.

Here are the quirks:

1. MTP initializing bug - dont know what that is but i cant mount my sd

2. CWM recovery no longer uses home button as enter, instead use power button

3. Restore backup/nandroid md5 error

3hrs of use and I'm at 88%. I think my battery issues are now resolved. Did have a Loss of signal though that was remedied by a reboot... dunno what that's all about. it literally just happened.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
Had my SGS2 about a week, and here's the issue I have. I've searched and can't find a solution.

I'm running the kernel on my phone with MIUI. I get that this kernel swaps the /sd and /external_sd around a bit, but is there a way to change default storage options? I first noticed that my dropbox folder is on the internal space, instead of the sd card like I've been used to before. This isn't ideal for me, as I like to have my dropbox folder on my sd card, just so it's always there with a bunch of files in case I do a full wipe; plus, I have a lot of photos and stuff that I keep there, and it's eating up internal space when that's why I bought a 32gb card.

Then tonight, I try to transfer music over using Doubletwist with Airsync (it transfers your playlists over via wifi for you). When I set it up, it shows me my storage space for my internal card; this isn't going to work, since I run around with a lot of music on my card and I'll fill the internal up. When I plug it in via USB and mount it, it shows up in Doubletwist as a second device and shows my space on my external card. After transferring music over via USB, though, my player doesn't see the music on my external sd, so I can't play it unless I get there through my file manager and manually open an individual song.

So what should I be doing to make things work?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
I would see what would happen if you tried using a different music player
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
Should have added that..... same thing using the stock MIUI player and the Google app. Even when I use Doubletwist, the app I transferred the music over with, it doesn't see it; it's looking for the music in the internal card thinking it's the external sd.

EDIT: Looks like I solved part of the problem; I had forgotten the First Rule of Tech Troubleshooting. Reboot, reboot, reboot! After a reboot, the MIUI player rescanned the external sd and now my music shows up in all of the players.

I still wish I could get things like Dropbox and TiBu to store on my external sd instead of my internal storage. That irritates me to no end.

I keep wondering if this kernel can get better, and sure enough it does. We are so lucky to have this.

I've had zero problems with this kernel and I am absolutely amazed at how efficient it is. I was going to buy spare batteries (my other android phones needed them), but this kernel saved me $25+. I rarely need to charge my phone, just my normal evening charge and I'm good. If I forget to charge, no problem. I can get 25hrs+.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwc3:
How about clicking on the Donate button on Gokhanmoral page and buying him a drink or two

Not too sure what is causing that, maybe one of the 12 init.d scripts he has running. Though reading a few pages back, it appears to never fully boot. Could try to run the kernel cleanup script he made, then giving it a go. BACKUP FIRST :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Andrew149:
I tried the kernal cleanup script before i ran the kernal with jivys rom the phone ran just fine on the first boot and the kernal was very very smooth alot smoother than entropys kernal but anyways when i rebooted the phone, i was getting soft reboots so no go, so i reinstalled entropys kernal with the cleanup script rebooted the phone i also had soft reboots. so i had to restore the phone to get it back up and running =/

2.6.6i is out. Check out the main post.

2.6.6i (Latest):

Some lulzactive changes are reverted back to have it scale slower.

Ondemand governor is merged with ondemandx and intellidemand governors. Use this for having better battery life.

Some defaults (hotplug parameters and governor defaults) are tweaked to provide better battery life

Some wifi changes to prevent very frequent wifi wakelocks.

Throttling frequencies are determined using smooth_target. if you do not modify smooth_target throttling levels will be the same as stock. if you want to disable only smooth scaling just set smooth_offset to 0 and don’t change smooth_target. if you set smooth_target to 0, the throttling levels will be 2 levels lower than stock which means you will have more performance when you overclock but also higher chance of lockups.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
I believe Entropy said a couple days ago that he no longer includes any across in his kernels. Sooooo, if flashing from his kennel to siyah, you wouldn't need to run the kernel cleaning script (unless the ROM developer included them on their own). However, if going from siyah to entropy, then you need to run the kernel cleaning script.

My battery life with 2.6.6. Still have 30% left, though I did charge for about 15 minutes which gave me roughly 10% battery back. I had just recorded a 8 minute long 1080p video.

I was using tasker to turn my wifi/data off when screen was off, but I wanted it to do more and it could not. Back to using my juice defender with custom settings.

As you can see, I have plenty of wakelocks (All Event Log Service). Still will only lose .5-1% battery depending on where I am sleeping at.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
They're only tweaks; nothing that will interfere with functionality. I'm sure you can add them back after flash. Maybe you can get away with keeping them there; take caution if you do (backup). It can be done with root explorer. Back them up as well (copy to a location on your sd. If you put them back, make sure the permissions are correct (755), because you'll have to set them again.
