Using Siyah kernel (always latest version)

Will post my config if you want.. I easily get 24hs+ of battery with 4+ hours screen with my settings!

And i use WIFI almost ALL the time!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Or check you APN settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
Yeha i'm on a 3g connection most of the time. Using wifi I managed to stay on 4% yesterday for about 5hrs. This was after I came back from work. WiFi is resctricted at work for work devices only, sadly :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karimas:
would you please let me know the result? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ogy77:
Hey guys,I want flash this rom and need little help,now I am on CM9 with Siyah kernel,I must do full wipe in recovery and flash this rom and then can I flash Siyah kernel?Can anyone answer me,and what work or not work?Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karimas:
im on siyah kernel and on WIFI i lose 1% of battery every 15 minutes. what are your config?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Yes, do a full wipe install the ROM, reboot! Then go to recovery again and flash siyah kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Sir, full wipe, just to avoid any FC. And after you can flash Siyah kernel, will work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
stuck on starting applications after the system starts.

meh. Guess i'll need to get home and get this sorted.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GLunPy:
SiyahKernel (Always latest version)

Underclock and Undervolt!

Extweaks with default settings!

Free memory: 100

Works with conservative, is laggy sometimes. But even battery life! Try it too!

You shouldnt notice any lags with this settings! Phone works perfect!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karimas:
that's weird. i just reflashed the rom and got no problems. i guess i'll be the one letting you know then :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeffma:
Im on v1.1 now. is it ok if i flashed the v1.3 without fully wiping?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GLunPy:
Just flashed SiyahKernel v3.1rc1... F5 and rc2 is up! lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karimas:
something just showed up . my data connection only shows the "E" no more "H" or sometimes i got "G" (over the signal bars)

anyone knows what the problem is?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Nope, do a factory reset.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
No, it's not recommended

Follow the steps of the OP or the FAQ and you can see that the wipes are the best way to avoid fc's and other problems :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karimas:
go into download mode (if you can) and flash through ODIN a CMW zip file , you'll be able to access recovery mode and flash the ROM again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheDexter1111:
try 200.. i havent had any problems yet. I used rom control,. follow the steps, it works for me :P

Here I found if you reduce your dpi this will fix. I use 200 and incoming call screen looks perfect, full picture.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
E-Edge

G-Gprs

H-HSDPA

H is faster, G-is slower, E-is bad, bad coverage. Try different modem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karimas:
thank you , i will
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Guys just as FYI i'm test a lot of DPI and really think that 184 it's perfect ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] General-Pain-666:
... noticed that, too because this ROM is about 1000 Points under Version 1.1 and below... But it is fast.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rulandas:
tune in

There is another great app for radio. Its called tune in.:eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pablo_max:
I went back to 97 version.

This ROM was completely unusable for me. The radio reception was terrible, but even more importantly, the home button on the back button will gone!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tankrider:
Don't think Allshare will work, try imediashare lite, even better IMO.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the_gunners:
anyone using exchange services ? it seems this is one of kp8 related issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stealthj:
Great work! been using all the versions.... still getting random reboots unlike cm9 but oh well. different builds...

For those of you having sync issues with the calender and what not... try flashing gapps fixer to see if it will fix it.

Even though the rom is a no wipe, I recommend a wipe especially if NOT coming from a ICS ROM..,.

First boot> sign in to your google stuff... let the phone sit for 20-30min... then do a reboot and start fiddling around... ive noticed the rom becomes much more stable like that...

If anyones needs ZIP's for anything let me know.

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

It's WAY better than CM9 for now in terms of battery life from my experience... but it just still isn't that stable (for me that is, Different people experience different things, some people have had this be their daily rom, others cannot finish booting up without getting a FC or two...)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PatrickWu:
To be honest, before this installation I was using CM9 yesterday after going back to GinearBread from V7.2, its style was very simple that looked as if the generic ICS version although some settings e.g. font was disable (no selection to change the font) and video recording didn't work, I liked its unlock screen once face unlock wasn't used, not sure it's because of Tre**** Launcher where I could change the page setting of homescreen and select the default page.

However, when saw the percentage of performance posted on first page was 99%, guessed that great WestCrip was supposed to complete the big change on this newest release.

Therefore, I've the update downloaded, and everything looks much better than previous ones, inclusive of 3G connection and Market, bingo!

In despite of one day usage, the reason to leave CM9 was because of 3G connection, same as why I left V7.2. I just need a stable connection as usual.

I'll have more tests on this update and report to here.

Westcrip, thanks for your great efforts.

By the way, how can I remove lockscreen wallpaper if I don't use face unlock?

Many and many thanks,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tomho529:
for me 7.2 was smooth but then i would get freezes and FC every once in a while, i installed 7.3 without wiping and i don't' seem to be getting any of these problems.

Now i am seeing battery life, the phone didn't last half a day with moderate usage with 7.2 for some reason. On CheckROM i was doing almost 2 full days with light usage.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brojoe11:
The only gapps fix I see on post one is for 7.1. Is that one ok to use on 7.3? If not, do you have the zip files? Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] faiz2036:
u can't compare this rom with checkrom bro. Checkrom used fully customize kernel that can be tweak for more battery life.

this rom is use stock kernel from samsung. dont expect it will perform same as custom kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ajayjohn:
Had a doubt regarding Sammy ROM's. Could anyone confirm if inline spell check (Red line under mis-spelt words) works for any of the Samsung based ROM's? If yes, how can i get it to work on this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stealthj:
Driving right now... give me like 15 min
[Galaxy S II Android Development] faiz2036:
U cannot remove lockscreen wallpaper.. u just can change it using gallery>set as lockscreen wallpaper.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the_gunners:
Done reset to factory default, now seems everything is working just fine
[Galaxy S II Android Development] joyo22:
Coming from 7.2. Didn't wipe and everything is working perfectly, including calendar sync and exchange services. Good job.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brojoe11:
Gladly. Thanks for the help. No rush.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stealthj:
here it is. LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS OR NOT! I hve NOT tried it with 7.3
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brojoe11:
Thanks alot. I'm going to try it now.

Update: I tried it. Still no go. Thanks you for your help. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adam1741:
Working great for me. Seems the wifi icon is a little high? Maybe thats just me.

Been using a few of the previous versions, great progress in each release. Been using your rom as my daily driver for a while now. Great work. Can't wait for future releases. Also, thanks for making it a flashable zip in CWM. Much appreciated.

Question. What are you guys using for the modem? Any differences in other modems? Which one is best? I'm using the modem that got installed with the 7.3 update.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] icondeg:
Excuse me. Did you do full wipe???

Not from 7.2 no. Should I have? Can I use titanium backup to back up my apps from 7.2 and restore them in 7.3?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rajarshi10:
Review of 7.3 ? Anyone? Seems this is the best ICS ROM out there. But want confirmation.

Some have an idea, how can i configurate the vold.stab to change the internal card as external card?

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] holydire:
well.

i got very excited and tried to install 7.3 on a criskelo ROM after a wipe & cache wipe using CWM.

it got stock on the yelllow triangle for 15 mins and i got scared and recovered using CWM restore.

was i doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RoseN-95:
Maybe you can help me: when i go to CWM /RECOVERY and make wipe DATA/FACTORY RESET it works, in wipe CACHE PARTITION it works, in ADVANCED and wipe DALVIK CACHE it says: E:unknown volume for patch (/sd-ext). Any idea why it happens? How to get WIPE DAVILK CACHE done? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
What's the best kernel to use on this rom for the best battery life?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
according to West, default CM9 kernel, the one included with the rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ogy77:
Ok one more time thank you sir:D,any version Siyah kernel work on this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rulandas:
restoring system apps with titanium backup

true. system apps may cause you trouble when restoring. Therefore should restore at your own risk those. other (yellow) apps are absolutely fine for me. I even managed to restore some systems apps like OI manager (which is fuller version of the one on this rom) but video player, photo editor and a few others failed. simply endlessly restoring them and restart was needed. I wound not recommend to play around with with major system apps like messenger or phone apps using titanium backup. Apart from that it is a live saviour app. Probably best £4.5 spent for an app :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GLunPy:
Try it twice.. and it will work :)

Try this if you really care about battery life: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24802962&postcount=21563

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Until now are tested by me all the betas of 3.1 and works pretty well, i'm not tested yet the rc's because i'm testing the CM9 kernel (btw, works awesome) but i think works too (the rc's) make a backup and test ;)

howto change save path on camera ?

cant save to external sd-card not show
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GLunPy:
Try mount sdcard and emmc and do it again! You can do it on "Mounts and storage" Menu!

I dont know about the default camera app.. but if you install Camera Zoom FX thats an option!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jsheng007:
Install through CMW recovery mode?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GLunPy:
@GaboWinter there is a way to change the vibration intensity now! With Siyah kernel! On Extweaks app! You should update that! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
Camera ICS+ is the same as the camera in this rom, but it has an option to change the save path.

Google Play Camera ICS+

Good luck!

SiyahKernel v3.1rc2

Posted on April 13, 2012

Changelog:

removed 1600MHz and 100MHz steps

merged with cm9 sources (some patches for at&t version and lots of cleanups/rewrites. thanks to teamhacksung and Entropy512)

updated the build script a little to fix the module loading issues (which is, by the way, the main root of wifi toggling issues)

I have the same issue too, it seems like a bug or something but not all users have it... I sent a PM to GaboWinter to check it with Westcrip and he said they will see it... Hope it will be fixed

Guys does anyone else have the same issue?? I believe it's a very annoying thing and for me the only problem that I have with this rom... Everything else works flawless:)

Hi there

I'm now currently running resserrection 1.3 on my Galaxy S2. It's ****ing amazing *except* every time I try to call someone, the screen turns off while I am doing it which is an absolute pain. Is this a bug, or is it something I can change via a setting somewhere? Sorry if this is already answered somewhere in this thread but there is something like 2000 pages that I can see

:)

Thanks in advance

FIRST

Is there any way I can backup my home screen settings? Like what application icons / shortcuts are placed where etc
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LOGMD:
No sms after install

hey guys, i came from v1.1 (+siyah Kernel 3.0) to 1.3 and was missing sms,

and the link to the fixing .zip is broken

I solved it by,

pre-requisites:

A. if you have just installed the rom and its not showing sms then 3x WIPE!

1. install base rom using cwm (this will also remove siyahkernels cwm v5)

2. advanced > reboot recovery (so that you get the roms default recovery)

3. THEN install gapps(i did not install black theme this time)

4. THEN install new siyahkernel (also i have no FC on camera, sms is back woot!)

Hi there, it depends what launcher you are using, i know that NOVA launcher offers a backup in the settings menu, and just looking at apex now... it has a backup feature. this should save all the locations of widgets etc. but beware widgets may mailfunction after so you may need to reload it but generally shorcuts are okay

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also what happened to the beautiful volume up tone :(, is there a way to change it? if there is i will post it because i cant find it anywhere!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Yep, apex settings/back up and restore/home screen
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kamandor:
Agreed -- there's no way to adjust the vibration intensity. Also there's no way to toggle the vibration on the lockscreen.

As for kernels: I've been using Siyah 3.1b2. Yesterday I had awful battery drain. But, I'm doing what everyone says (let the phone go through a few cycles.) I'm currently on my second cycle (using Battery Calibration tool) and I just had the phone succumb to an unresponsive black screen, and I had to do a battery pull to bring it back.

Anyone using Siyah 3.1rc2? I might give it a try just because.

So far nothing can beat the battery life I had back with an old Wanam ROM (GB 2.3.6) using Phenomenal kernel 2.2. I had over 8 hours of battery life, and still at 70%.

Not complaining -- just wish we could all have super battery life with ICS!! hahaha

I've just created a new boot animation, changed the colours and added some text to an earlier bootanimation we had.....

Only thing is, I'm not sure if I'm zipping up the files correctly. I've tried winrar and windows 7 based winzip but the animation fails to load. The rom still loads but I have no bootanimation present.

Anyone have any ideas? I would like to share this with the community!!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GLunPy:
There is an easy solution to that.. Dont go lower than 950mV :) Im using the settings i posted and everything works fine so far. As you said, everyone has the perfect settings for herself.. Im just sharing the one that works for me. ;)
