ExTweaks stopped working with SGS2 siyah kernel 5.0rc1

Where can I get an ExTweaks version that works with SGS2 siyah kernel 5.0rc1? It was working with 5.0b2 and all previous SGS2 siyah kernels.

Thanks.

The message I get when I start ExTweaks is:

No Data

No compatible interfaces detected
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ROX77:
+3 with the free ex tweaks app.

but it's not important, I think Stweaks is better.

I have a bad "bug" in video playing: image is flickering and is poor, with all videos, from YouTube and with Mxplayer on local. All kernel settings are default. Tried to set as first gpu step 100, but nothing changes.

I installed directly RC1 so I don't know if the problem there was even with betas.

My ROM is a 4.0.3 LPG (Ollo Monster).

Hello Gokhan,

Really sorry (i mean it) if I bother you about that, but at least I would like to show my point of view...

Since I used custom kernels (for gingerbread) Interactive governors always were a choice for saving battery. Lulzactive since GB was always a so beautiful governor.

Here I posted some screenshots with my simple record in battery. From 100-50% was with lulzactiveq.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31711585

Very impressive for me...

I really understand if you want to cut them off, your kernel, your rules... but my point is that this problem is definitely not from interactive governors. It's from something that they uses in their algorithm that changed and affected then, and make they really worse. Must be something like that.

As I said, you decide and I'm ok with your decision... But I really ask you, at almost a pray, to you consider the possibility to investigate the real cause of the interactive governors problem.

It would be very beautiful if in your last version you had your outstanding kernel without losing these historical govs.

As always if you want any any kind of help just tell me.

Thanks a lot,

Roberto.

+1 I agree with you.

The problem is not the interactive govenors. The problem are the users that tweaked them bad...

With Lulzactiveq i have 4h screen on time in 2 days without charging. For me this is an impressive result...

I got around this error by swapping 1st and 2nd ROMs.

Install/restore the backup/new rom to 1st Rom and then swapping it to 2nd Rom and then restore a backup/install new rom to 1st Rom... If that makes sense. :-\

Time consuming but it will get the job done until GM fixes it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] red.hat:
GK, can I ask if it is possible to include some interactive governor in your final release. Like Roberto, it is upto you and we are all going to abide by ur decision whichever way it goes. The end is almost here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pratici:
Xan will update it. Just wait.

Waiting you can use STweaks. (flash the kernel and you find it in the applications)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] red.hat:
GK, ST tweaks doesn't have the option to choose governors. I was using extweaks pro before.

Is there any previous kernel version allowing to restore the second rom currently? I remember some weeks ago I have used a mali beta test of the kernel. Perhaps we should use this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k4bbe:
Not tried it myself, certainly could be another option. Any previous version would probably let you restore swap ROMs etc but won't boot a Mali Rom obviously. If you are also having issues give it a go i suppose and see. Shouldnt do any harm :cool:

Would you consider adding a reboot to recovery from within recovery for us. This should make life just a tad bit easier.:o

I made a mistake in the config that caused that video playback problem and it will be fixed in rc2.

I hope rc2 will work on your device because it will have some other gpu frequency steps

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bruzzler2809:
you can rename battery from beta2 to default and copy it in the correct folder (i guess system/.siyah)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pratici:
Luck has nothing to do with the test.

First, GM explained that the battery profiles / default / performance have been removed. For this reason, you must test a profile low power to test the battery properly. (setting it by STweaks)

The second thing you can not test the battery if you have not waited 3 charge cycles.

For this reason say that you have used 40% of battery per hour is an element totally unreliable.

From my test (second charge cycle) I can say that the version rc1 consumes 25% less battery of dorimanx 7.4.2 (extreme battery - battery - default) if set with a profile "battery".

Massive battery drain when rebooting phone

I am currently dual booting with Siyah. I have a problem when I reboot my phone. I can be on around 70% per cent battery life before the reboot but after reboot in the red zone straight away. I sometimes have to re-boot because my wifi doesn't turn on in my Wannamlite rom and the only way to solve this is a reboot.

I also had a problem when I was using Resurrection Remix 3.8 and the phone network would just stop working and a reboot was the only way to solve this.

Is there any way to get around this massive battery drain when rebooting? It's strange because sometimes I can reboot and the battery level hardly drops at all and other times it totally juices the battery.

You can see the extent of the battery drain in the attached screenshot

Siyah v5.02b+

1st rom Wanamlite.Stock. XWLP3

2nd rom Hellybean 4.1.2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ROX77:
Other issue during charge: the screen is shaking if the finger is fixed on the screen.

This issue there wasn't on 4.1.4 But yes on 4.1.5

This happens both on 4.0.3 and with CMX.

- A request to the Boss: is it possible to add as feature the possibility to turn on and off the torch by pressing for 3 seconds the home button?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ammar1514:
this happens sometimes and is quite normal....has to do with the fuel gauge chip ..no work around but sometimes if u remove the battery for a few minutes then insert again it should recover some of that dropped battery....it works for.me
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ashwinrajsr:
the flickering and distortion is present even when i playback videos that i've downloaded from the net in .avi format and on hq videos on the youtube app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pilgrim011:
Yes, I think I'm experiencing this battery drops ever since I started using dual boot, but I have the feeling (probably I'm imagining) that it's more frequent with rc1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bubba949:
I also have started noticing this issue with video playback.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] #illidan:
If your on stock ROM then this a know issue in rc1 & GM said on the last page that he will get it fixed in rc2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I will not add the profiles back because there are 2 or 3 options that can be used to optimize battery life.

people can discuss and share their settings. I don't want to play on placebo effects anymore.

if you want to save battery: underclock, undervolt, reduce screen brightness and do not use bln. that's all you can do in stweaks.

I will repeat this for those who have just bought their s2s:

it is not because of this kernel, it is because of s2s fuel gauge chip.

there is no calibration and there may be some jumps after restarts.

and thank you :) I sometimes need this kind of help... "please read at least 3 pages before posting" warning may become rude in time, when it is repeated hundreds of times... :)

Cmon read and search this was answered 100 times... It's because of the New Mali driver.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robertobsc:
Hi Gokhan, you have problably saw that, but just to share a suspect:

i tried to search for any linux 3.0.y commits that changed something that interactive governors uses and other dont (like timer functions). I especially looked into commits that caused any bug fixed in other commit. No lucky.

The only thing i have found is the commit you done by AndreiLux cherry-pick : https://github.com/gokhanmoral/siyahkernel3/commit/1e599ac7b776c1355834264ab9fdff2582bca0f0

This changes load calculation and also changes do_timer function.... timer struct and functions are one of the things that only the interactive governors uses.

I just tought suspicious: makes a little sence to think: can imagine that if the load for him increases, than we would get higher frequencies than the phone would get hotter and the battery would fall much faster.

Its only a suspect since i would have to make a big analysis to discover if that really changed the lulz behavior. Or like the stupid way i take off this commit and test in my phone.... hum... just had this idea.

Would like your opinion about it....

[EDIT]: Seems now to me like i had just thrown here an idea and let you do a hard job. Actually I'm still tying to understand if this commit can really cause a behavior like that. My idea of the post is because may be you taking a look understand something, or have an idea, anyway, I think you understand...

Thanks,

Roberto.

As I could test I have last Extweaks update and now it's possible to edit and change the profile. This is based on my experience.

I know it's not a bug but it was working before and not working with last kernel updates. This is why Extweaks has been updated yesterday.

PS: After I have flashed today's CM10 nightly anyway profiles disappeared from Extweks and only "default" is available. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pratici:
You have to create them manually because the last kernel have only 1 profile (default profile).

You can find 1 battery profile in my signature.

If you want try download it and put it in System --> data ---> .Siyah

v5.0rc2 is up.

lulzactiveq is back but not selectable via STweaks.

restore as 2ndROM will give you a warning if there is no 2ndROM. you will have to wipe 2ndROM data/cache before restoring. keep in mind that restoring to 2ndROM formats data and it makes the restore operation take long.

this version may be unstable on some devices. bad news is that it crashed on Tungstwenty's device again and that is why I removed 160MHz. available GPU steps are 54, 66, 108, 200, 260, 330, 400, 440.

I want to make new steps optional but it will require a change in GPU tab in STweaks. I am thinking about simplifying it and giving you only two options: some presets (underclocked, default, overclock1, overclock2, overclock3) and voltage offset (-150, -100, -50, 0, +50, +100). I am open to suggestions about this because it will be a lot of mess if I include 5 steps for each set and voltage levels, thresholds etc in STweaks.

this version fixes video playback problems, if it is stable on your device :)
