Hey, can you link me to siyah kernel, been trying to download it for a while now.. it gives me webpage error. Without I can't open extweaks.

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)

Does the kernel you sent me work with gingerbread? I'm on gingerbread, just flashed it and it's not booting up.
[Galaxy S II General] aceian:
So far getting good battery....

Using slim ics with siyah kernel....

That too flashed yesterday... First test straight away....

Had 2 freezes and had to reboot....

Now on relaxed uv....

I think I'll definitely get more battery life once the kernel is well settled....

Anyways thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
It's only for ICS unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II General] shadyr25:
Downloading, flashing, setting up, letting it settle.... i really don't have time on my hands to do all that. i thought it was app related at first, then found out it was kernal which didn't seem too time consuming and now it's rom related. Honestly, if i had time Geko, i would have done it, I'm Sorry. Unless extweaks works with the gingerbread version of siyah kernel if there is any, then I can manage.
[Galaxy S II General] Jonnyn93:
Is this compatible with the galaxy note N7000
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Yep... tried the relaxed as well... still hanging and reboots...

I had tried the preset "power saving" settings in extweaks and that was running fine... so then kinda merged the power saving settings with the relaxed settings till as far as its fairly stable... so far had one hangup till now... but unfortunately the battery life doesn't seem to be exceptionally crazy like you people seem to be getting :-(

Currently as follows...

And at last the final battery stats would be... slightly more than 4 hours screen on time... now this was all with wifi and barely any data... with data on and wifi off I'm sure will have much less juice for screen to last that long...

Thanks mate, much appreciated. Which settings did you take screenshots of?
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
I reset ExTweaks and took screenshots of the "Less Aggressive" settings.
[Galaxy S II General] shadyr25:
Once again, thank you :) due to the lack of time on my hands, I wasn't able to follow it out.
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
All good. I will get it all done ASAP. Work / kids makes it a little hard.

Edit: Have uploaded screenshots to my dropbox and messaged geko95gek.
[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
so how many hours can get on this tweaks? if dont use phone a lot?

[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
No problems mate. If you want me to do the screenshots for the other settings just let me know (but I feel it would be redundant) as people can look at the screenshots and just change the settings to whichever.
[Galaxy S II General] tripex2k:
Ok, that I do not need VC anymore is ok for me.

But I'm on an AOKP Rom. In the normal Rom Settings I can set some CPU Tweking features. When I get it right (I couldn't find it in those hundreds of thrads.) I do not need to set anything in the AOKP (RootBox in my case.) Settings, right?

I bought ExTweaks Plus and saved all three setting from the thread for Siyah 3.3.2 in ExTweaks.
[Galaxy S II General] Holgott:
Hey guys.

I know its kinda OT, but i got this one question. I installed Siyah 3.7.2.1 to try out dual booting. So far so good, but everytime i try to start Voltage control, i dont get root Access and have to close it. Alrdy tryed rebooting, fixing permissions, root un/install. Any clue about.? Or is it normal in this Version of Siyah to just make changes in extweaks?
[Galaxy S II General] fischerben:
Hi,

I get heavy battery drain. in the night it dropped over 10%.. And the screen time never comes over 2 hour 30 min.. I use extweak with the magicconfig. So it should could be better

I have flashed 2.5.1 but it also did it in previous versions

I have some bb screen shots, could anyone help me look at them?
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Your longest kernel wakelock is "Vbus_present" which equals to: you're connected to the charger. For some guys phone restart helped. If it doesn't help maybe your usb port is dirty or you used the phone in a place of high humidity.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Have you tried to check "Auto-install root" then "Remove root" in ExTweaks and restart?
[Galaxy S II General] sharp87:
stock rom

I used 3g data sync rather than few min in wifi ,3g normal calls(5min), facebook sync(15min), tapatalk(30 min),gps(2min), jelly bean game(15min approx.),watched videos (20min) with 10/15 brightness settings, i did total of 3 reboots when changing bootanimation... and few more hours left to deepsleep from night to morning
[Galaxy S II General] Holgott:
Yeah, i tryed unchecking auto install root than removing root an restarted, but vc dont work. If i click install root in extweaks it says you have Alrdy root.. Just root Access in vc not working
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
That's strange. Do you have any problems with other root apps to access root? If don't it's not a problem with root but with the single app. Do you see VC in your Superuser app? If yes, did you try to remove it and try to get root access by starting the app again, does the same happen? If you click on the VC inside Superuser do you see something similar like on the attached below picture? Did you try to reinstal VC? - Just a few questions which came to my mind. BTW I had similar problem recently. Rooted my phone by CF-root which installed SuperSU app with su binary. After flashing siyah it replaced SuperSU by Superuser app (probably su binary were updated as well). Then I couldn't get root for any my root apps. Removing root from ExTweaks and Auto-root option didn't help - when I tried to open for example Mobile Odin, it caused FC. Finally I installed SuperSU again from the market, removed root from SuperSU settings (having before Auto-root option ticked in ExTweaks) then rebooted the phone and everything worked fine. Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] Holgott:
Oh bro! Im sorry, i just checked that I not even had superuser installed :-( .. I downloaded from Market and now all is fine. Sry for the stupidness ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] fischerben:
Shall extweak auto install root be checked or unchecked?
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
It can be but it's not required permanently. After flashing Siyah you can uncheck this option or if you have problem with root access keep it checked tick remove root, reboot then go to ExTweaks again and uncheck Auto-install root. This option can be useful for the future if you will need for some reasons to remove Superuser app with su binary - it will help you to keep root after reboot. Regards
[Galaxy S II General] tufoz:
I tryed the relaxed values but it freezes on the lockscreen.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Try leaving GPU values as stock, and just set the others as directed (CPU -25mV).
[Galaxy S II General] tufoz:
freezed again.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hard to believe it's an undervolting issue.

[Galaxy S II General] tufoz:
Is it there a wayout?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm... you could try an AOSP ROM like CM9. Try a kernel cleaning script then re-flash the latest Siyah.

If all that fails, then its definitely your device. However, I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't even accept -25mV setting on CPU.
[Galaxy S II General] tufoz:
I only switch to the -25mV setting.. and no freezes now.. ACCEPTED

what else can I change?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Everything but the GPU settings should be fine.

Of course. ExTweaks keeps the settings after each kernel flash. ;-)

now there is no more battery drain

and now my second battery is useless :highfive:

but on the second rom "Resurrection Remix"

its not stable :(

but i will try the new release Resurrection Remix 2.6

going to try the settings for "RELAXED UV VALUES" using the neutrino ROM, already been getting good battery results which i am happy with but just changed kernal to Siyah v3.3.3d+ so want to see if theres much improvement ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
man i miss being able to mess with a kernel like siyah.....so boring over at the one x side and not being able to have something like extweaks
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Ok mate, please post your feedback here.

It will help others a lot. :)

Yeah man, getting really agitated of my settings not sticking as well.

How bloody hard is it to sort this out with an update?? Huh, HTC???
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
will post feedback after the weekend as my phone will be in high use over the next few days so not expecting to see the change easily yet but will be taken a few days off for my son as from friday and minimal phone use
[Galaxy S II General] Kelvinjkke:
I didn't wipe dalvik cache and cache and i straight away went and flash the SIYAH KERNEL. Is it okay? :/
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Normally for kernel flashing any wipes are not required unless you face problems.
[Galaxy S II General] Ashtiany:
why does RedPill 1.3 (Sio/conservative) see less battery drain than RedPill 1.3 (noop/conservative with magicconfig)? Is it because of noop?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Ah thats cool mate, let me know how it goes.

It's not really necessary, cache is rebuilt on reboot anyways.

Generally depends on your usage.

That's why it's always good to try different combinations.
[Galaxy S II General] Ashtiany:
would you say redpill 1.3 or phenomenal 4.0 for better battery?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
None of those.

I would say Siyah. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] tlf55:
This Less-agressive setting used with Siyah 3.2.7.1 ? And for the 6 hour it's with stock battery (1650mah) ?

If i use it with stock sammy rom i would get aproximatively the same result ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I don't see why not.

However I was on CM9 when I took those readings.

Sent from my HTC One X using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II General] tlf55:
Because it seems very good for stock battery, i can barely reach 4h30 of screen time with Siyah kernel 3.3.2 with settings a bit like yours but not all..

So the problem come from my stock rom ? i like the stock rom that's why i don't want to change but if it's the problem i think i'm gonna change .. I need some additional screen time ..

What would you advise me ?
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
reading from today, flashed new modem earlier today and nearly constant use since around 7pm UK time. Will still watch minimum usage over the weekend when my time will be dedicated to my son instead of my phone, ink and skin

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

So it was with stock battery or extended ? Sorry for disturbing .. :/
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Well, I'd say it's definitely worth trying CM9 as that's a really light rom with much less stuff running in the background.

Also, make sure you use betterbatterystats app to check for partial wakelocks. There could be apps that are keeping your phone awake when screen is off.

[Galaxy S II General] tlf55:
Thanks i keep in mind that i have to try then .. But i just don't want right now, i need really my phone every second of the day so can't switch and re-instal every app ..

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Sorry again for disturbing but if i put "Second core always-off" and SCHED_MC 0 it will disable the second core and by the way i will gain some battery life ? which means more screen time right ?

Sorry, i know i can be anoying :/ haha
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
Using 1 core saves battery, 2 cores gives performance. I'm using 2 with relaxed UV set up. Xd box is stil predicting i have around 3hrs battery left at 24% in power save mode (reduced brightness to 10%, screen out after 15seconds everything off except wifi)
[Galaxy S II General] tlf55:
That's what i thought but it's ok how i did ? I mean go to ExTweaks and put on CPU Hotplug : Second core always-off , then i reboot, my brightness is always around 0%-40% , i put the Min_BL to 110 and max_gamma to 22 so it's okay for screen i think (i'm happy with these screen settings it's not too dark for me..)

With this i have my second core off and more screen time right ?

But i'm anyway a bit chocked about screen time, i can barely have more than 4h30 of screen time with approximatively settings from MagicConfig Post (about siyah 3.2.7.1) ..

I checked my partial waterlock and there is nothing to say .. The first is Audioout_1 then AlarmManager (which is Android system) then RILJ (Phone)
[Galaxy S II General] tlf55:
Here some screenshot of my settings ..
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
i'm stil learning the UV side of things so cant be much help but i do know by switching to 1 core you will save battery which can easily result in more screen time. I've only set up on the relaxed settings so i can see changes while i research more but i will also say i tried playing with the settings on single core once before but set them too low and ended with my phone going into sleep of death, i had to reset things through my recovery so i could get enough power to go through my phone and put both cores on again. Luckily a mate of mine in phones4u introduced me to rooting etc so had him on hand to tell me where i went wrong :)

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Using one core will only help if you're a light - medium user.

Having that type of setting if you're a heavy - very heavy user like me will most likely make the processor work much hard because it will only be using 1 core. Thus, some multitasking and other operations will take longer to complete.

I always had it running on 2 cores and still got 6 hours screen-on. So I never saw the need to disable 1 core.

I didin't want to strangle the CPU.
[Galaxy S II General] tlf55:
I'm a light-medium users .. I only text (sms) and whatsapp, don't play games or other things like this, and i get only 4h30 screen time .. that's why i'm asking how can be that you get mostly 2 hour more than me !
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
i'd say i'm quite a heavy user, my phone is usually constant with calls or texts as well as taken bookings via e-mail and facebook, i've kept it at 2 cores to avoid any lag as when i original used 1 core i did notice that loading e-mails or facebook etc the page seemed distorted for a few seconds, had to leave the screen alone instead of scrolling til it had settled so i was guessing by using the 2 cores it would make them load smoother and faster. this is why i wanted to get into UV in the hope that i could get a good performance as well as a reasonably decent battery life, i've not brought the phone charger into work today so going to see if i can go without charging until i'm home, only difference is i've got my girlfriend working the desk today so can check have her checking bookings etc on the laptop so my phone should be in minimal use until i finish :)

i am waiting on a ROM update at the moment but getting tempted to switch my UV settings to the next stage from "relaxed" would you recommend waiting for the update before making changes or will the changes be saved to Extweaks even after the update?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It's not just me that gets that kind of screen-on time.

There are a few screenshots in various threads showing at least 5 hours screen-on time, achieved with stock battery.

Update your ROM first then do all the testing you want to do.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
currently downloading the update for the neutrino Rom then will be setting up the less aggressive settings and giving them the test over the weekend, gives me the rest of today and part of tomorrow to watch out for any freezes, reboots etc so i can make any adjustments before going away weekend

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Sounds like a good idea to me mate. Keep me posted on your progress.

Hmmm... thats fairly rare, are you sure its not some other factor that is causing the freezes?
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
just switched settings to less aggressive, at the moment i do have a low battery but had a few freezes at -75 could that be down to low battery level or would it be recommended to go to -50 instead?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Try without modifying GPU settings first.

Then if you still get freezes, reduce CPU to -50mV.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
at the moment i've left the GPU modified and UV at -50 so far no freezes. would you stil recommend putting GPU back to defaults?

just faced 3 restarts in a row so now going to follow your advice and see how it goes
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It's most likely the GPU settings causing this, leave them alone for testing. Just do -75mV on the CPU.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
reset via CWM then tried again without touching the GPU settings. UV -75 caused freeze within a few minutes so now testing -50.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Ok mate, well was worth a try...
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
should i stil leave the GPU settings as default. I can supply screenshots of my setup if you could suggest any changes to make? So far with standard GPU and -50 it seems fine but if theres any way of improving battery life i'm all for it :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes leave GPU as default for now.

You need to make sure that -50mV is stable for your device, so I suggest leaving it till tomorrow. Additional changes can always be made later on.

Sent from my HTC One X using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
I'm away for the weekend anyway with my son so will give a good dew days of checking stability and battery life so hopefully can report on anything on monday or tuesday. Appreciate the help though :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah that's best thing to do right now mate.

At least after this time you will know if you're CPU is stable to run at -50mV. Then you can make additional changes, at the same time discounting the CPU from any freezes or reboots.

Btw, please rate the thread 5* when you can. Cheers. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
Good point :) just rated the thread 5stars now but if i spot anyone asking about UV settings i will also send them this way.

Fingers crossed for a stable run over the next few days then take things from there :)
