Always try first with stock settings. A lot of error reports here are just because users undervolting too much and then saying the kernel is bad instead of trying the kernel on stock settings.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Well,200Mhz is the default and recommended minimum frequency.100Mhz cuts very little in power consumption in some circumstances,but is unstable and can lead to worse power drain in case it misbehaves or isn't enough to complete tasks,because then load on the CPU skyrockets and that's worse than scaling up to 200MHz for your battery.Anyway,the choice is yours.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] digeddydogg:
Quick question. The red pill geko thread. Are the settings suggested in that thread applicable to the new siyah kernel. I know there is different tolerances for the new kernel. But are the suggestions in that thread worth using for a start?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rauschkugl:
It isn't very good to use somebody's settings. Start with stock settings and find your own stable values. Every device can handle different voltages. It isn't that much work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] digeddydogg:
Fair point! I'm going to have to do some reading before I get down and dirty with it then! Undervolting.....about ten feet above my head at present.

Thanks for the reply.

If you want to install SiyahKernel by using the CWM-flashable zip file, you need CWM recovery.

As on SGS2 the recovery is part of the kernel, you will have to flash a kernel containing CWM recovery first.

Usually, these kernels are rooted.

If you want to flash SiyahKernel on your unrooted phone and do not want to root it, just flash the Odin tar file by using Odin (or Mobile Odin).

P.S.:

After flashing SiyahKernel, you can install ExTweaks app from Google Play store and unroot your phone by selecting the corresponding option (Remove Root) ... if you want your phone to be unrooted again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Another option (not quite as clean, as it'll include multiple patches per file):

Initialize a repo with the update4 sources, or fork a repo that has update4 sources (Mine has the basic build problems fixed and gitignores set up on the master branch, I've done all of my development on a separate branch, master has only critical fixes and upstream fixes. I may put my I777 cleanups into master though.)

Remove all files from the repo EXCEPT for the .git directory

Drop your modified source on top

"git status" to see what changed

"git rm <file>" for files that no longer exist - oh, be careful, git will autodelete a directory if all contents are removed. That's why my initramfs repo has the EMPTY_DIRECTORY placeholders

"git add <file(s)>" to stage files for a commit. You can add everything, or, for sanity, just add files that are related. See https://github.com/Entropy512/linux_kernel_sgh-i777/commits/samsung_update3 for an example of the benefits of doing this - I split up update3 into multiple delta patches on a separate branch that I cherry-picked back to my main repos.

"git commit" to commit the files you've staged

Later this week I'm going to try to write a better tutorial/tipsandtricks on git than the "tips" link in my sig. In the meantime, there are plenty of good references like http://gitready.com/ and github's own documentation.

Oh, and you'll see this in a few places: Never rebase commits you have pushed to a public repository! (exception might be if you REALLY screwed up a push and you catch it within 5 minutes - warn people here if you do.) - I'm going to eventually include a tutorial on doing test kernels in a "kosher" way without needing to push to a remote repo. The basic idea is to post the kernel along with the patches used to create it, using "git format-patch".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TonyCubed:
Any idea when Beta 7 will be released? It's been on his site for a couple of days now but says it's unreleased. :S
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
The changelog is a preview of what's to come to keep people up to date with what's happening and the release will follow when it's deemed ready by Gok and he's happy. He has been busy so give the guy a chance and be a bit more patient, it's not his job.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ssauger:
Hi thanks for the fantastic kernel. I run latest beta and CM10. Is it known that only core apps appear in battery usage and will this be fixed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sinancetinkaya:
Edit: I didn't read the message well. Now I see you're complaining about that only core apps being showed in battery usage, not about the battery life :)

Sorry my mistake
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyndonguti:
I think you need a 3310 than a smartphone :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ssauger:
Mhm, but with CM10 Stock Kernel i can see apps other than core processes in battery usage. Anyway no big problem so far.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hawkerpaul:
About the problem where the battery screen only reports core processes (idle, wifi android system etc) and no apps.

I'm on Neat LPI and have been for about 6 weeks.

This always used to report correctly through various versions of Siyah as they were released, but for the last few weeks, this "problem" has emerged.

I tried going back Siyah versions and this made no difference.

The problem isn't consistent. I do sometimes get apps appear here, but not always, which makes it even more confusing.

It's not firmware related as people on other firmware are reporting the issue.

I quite often see BBS reporting no data also.

Clutching at straws now, but I'm wondering if it could be related to SuperSU? I dont recall this happening when I was on SuperUser?

Is the problem exclusive to rooted phones (wrong place to ask an "unrooted" question I know, but maybe you know someone unrooted on the same firmware as yourself who could test this out.)

this is due to the zipalign script which is executed on starup. it may be located in /system/etc/init.d/ probably called 01zipalign, you can savely remove this, but it is recommended to leave it there if you tend to do modifications to your system occassionally.

however, for the future, please put such kind of questions in the q&a thread to keep this one development related.

bug

hi OP sorry for late replay but thier is a HUGE bug in cwm 6xxx recovery (i think it with cwm 5xxx too) it's with backup .see when you do back with cwm it shows a error (external sd not found ) which is fine because it's based on aokp roms (cuz cwm is for aokp cuz they have internal sd[usb] and external sd card on difrent places) but on samsung bassed (stoock) room it is inside usb (internal sd) card .so i thinks cwm is unable to fine it and due to that cwm is unable to backup apps on sd card. can you please add option in your EXtweasks "cwm for samsung stock rom" (which backup apps from extranl sd card too) . thanks :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FadeFx:
That's not external SD, it is sd-ext meaning a special ext3 or ext4 partition which in some devices is used as extention for too small data partitions...

so, its a feature, not a bug...

Hi did a search of thread and can't find anything. I have bad gradient banding with this kernal, every version is the same, the first few days are ok then all of a sudden its starts to get worse and worse. It's like it goes down to 16-bit colour.

Anyone else had this problem, any fix? Or is this a hardware problem? I'm on CM9 by the way but this seems to happen on any ROM I've used. I've tried taking a screenshot but they all come out fine.

Getting lots of reboots on CM10. Android Logger is on, next reboot I'll post logs. Device rebooted while using Chrome, and after restart, got another reboot on Chrome. Either Chrome is bugged with the kernel [never had any problem with other kernels], or it's just a coincidence that it happened twice on Chrome and some other random reboots. My guess is that there's something wrong with Wi-Fi, one time I needed to reboot because it wasn't connecting, other time I needed to wipe data because everytime I connected, either device was rebooting, or Wi-Fi failed.

Maybe this could help?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I think so and I agree with codeworkx. People whine about not having upstream patches while 99% of them are irrelevant. And there is ways a chance of breaking something while everything is already stable enough with Samsung kernels. If we ever face with an issue (as we faced when we were unable to under click the cpu to 800 Mhz) it can be taken care of separately and we may use an upstream patch to correct the issue if there is one available. But other than that it is not necessary. We even had some problems because of merge mistakes (an example to that is we were unable to see data usage statistics because of a permission problem which was caused by a missing modification in a file during a merge)

By the way, I noticed that recovery doesn't mount both internal and external sdcard in usb mass storage mode. I will fix that in the release.
