For the most part, yes. Will we see 'experimental' features that could either work really well or possibly make the phone unstable for some people (as we've been used to with Siyah for the past 12 mths) ? No, we won't. In short, we won't see any major changes. Just a bit of fluffing around the edges.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Matt3333:
Why is it when I undervolt 200 -500Mhz to 800-850mA, it immidiately freezes up? Where as on the GB Siyah, it works fine, and saves more power.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
Plenty of people report they can't undervolt with ICS as aggressively as they did with GB. Not sure of the exact reason why, probably due to changes Samsung made around what the CPU requires so far as voltage is concerned.

Not a great deal you can do about it.

Edit - Probably want to put questions like this in the discussion thread as well ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OGroteKoning:
I hope so! But remember how much time he spent developing Siyah for the S2 ... the S3 Siyah development will be just as intensive and I don't see him having as having any time left for concentrating on the S2 as well seeing that the S2 is now kinda "old" in comparrison. Also he said he does not want his wife to complain about the S2 being unstable. We don't see him here often so I guess the comments of him stopping development for the S2 is not that far fetched. We will certainly not see an update as often as we did in the past. Perhaps GM can shed some light in the subject for us. I also miss the regular updates and improvements, but he has a life too. There are some things he said will possibly be implemented like sharing apps' data between roms, but I doubt it will be done now since testing before releasing on his the S2 is now severely limited.

Development device ID

Hello community!

I need some help. I have the latest Siyah kernel with dual-boot. My primary ROM is SLIM ICS, the secondary is VK 5.1.2 (it was the original just cloned to secondary).

I got an app that i purchased not from Play Market and I guess it's updates registered with Development device ID (which is unfortunately different in the two ROMs). In VK 5.1.2 the app works properly, in ICS SLIM I got no updates.

Can I modify(clone) this ID? How? :confused:

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Many40:
From my experience (and many others): setting for 500Mhz less than 950mV causes instablility of the phone. So I am really surprised that you believed 850mV whould work on ICS.

- brightness was at dimmest since i'm indoor the whole day

million Thanks to siyah & gokhan!

If download mode still works, re-flash the kernel again.

flash it with the tar version for odin in download mode (vol down + home key + power key). if it stucks at the boot logo, you probably won't be able to get into the recovery mode (vol up + home key + power key).

For me something similar happened when I flashed a new stock rom via mobile odin (before flashing replaced in the mobile odin app stock kernel by Siyah). After reboot the phone hanged (screen was slightly blinking). No access to CWM recovery at all. So having fortunately access to download mode I did what you recommended - flashed Siyah from PC Odin. No problems later on. Regards.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crypticc:
Exactly how i got my soft brick a couple of weeks ago. Mobile Odin or siyah and Mobile Odin doesn't like either kernel deselected or changed.

In my case I thought if I deselected kernel it would leave the existing rooted siyah one. Shortcut = bad.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Many40:
However it works if you replace stock kernel by CF-root kernel (created for current ROM by the same developper as mobile Odin).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Matt3333:
Right. After extensively testing of every kernel out there. I'm going to give it to you and straight, and spare you the bull****.

To put it simple.. this is by far the best kernel out there (3.3.2 as of now), for everything! Whether it be performance, stability, saving battery etc.. it just does it all.

Since you can't undervolt as aggresively on ICS kernels than GB ones. I find I'm losing about 20-30 minutes of screen on time, but I don't care, ICS is worth it. So on WiFi I get around 6 hrs screen on time, 3G 4-5 hours. Bare in mind I am not just sending one message, and a couple of phone calls all day.. this is seriously heavy usage.

My setup is this.. Screen brightness set to the lowest, backlight buttons switched off, undervolted using Tegrak Overclock Ultimate (200Mhz, 850mV - 300Mhz, 875mV - 400Mhz, 900mV, 500Mhz, 950mV - 600Mhz, 975mV - 700Mhz, 1000mV - 800Mhz, 1050mV, 900Mhz, 1075mV - 1000Mhz, 1125mV - 1100Mhz, 1175mV - 1200Mhz, 1225mV) underclocked to 200Mhz - 400Mhz, lulzactive gov & app set to save maximum battery (also screen off min set as 200Mhz), second core switched off, Resurrection ICS, and gone for the black theme on settings, music, email etc.

There are other kernels like Speedmod, Phenominal.. which are just absolutely useless. Providing absolutely no features such as undervolting, underclocking, dual booting, and foolishly tell you they somehow save power. Don't be fooled, it's complete bull****. These kernels do absolutely nothing to save your battery, or anything at all.. being set as ondemand, 200-1200Mhz, not undervolted, and no option to overclock.. is not doing going to do you any favours, either. The kernels listed above are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head, and after wasting my time with them, I literally managed to squeeze 2 hrs or screen on time.. which is ****ing ****. So you might aswell not bother with them! And yes I was calibrated.

Do yourself a favour, don't be wasting anymore time pissing about with kernels, working out which one is best.. because this one just is.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] androidkid311:
Looool! Relax man! Just a kernel and ermmm your wrong about speed mod :). You can under volt,under clock and over clock and it is a good kernel.....actually...I'm using it now :). Siyah is good don't get me wrong but I'm just getting a lot of wifi drop outs with it. Everyone's use is different but no harm in sharing your opinion :D.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Matt3333:
**** kernels frustrate me. Now that is where you're wrong! I would rather eat my own liver than set up speedmod's settings. Not to mention, no option to easily change them after they're set. Tell your WiFi to man up, no issues here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OGroteKoning:
Season liver well, cook to almost done and and add a dash of peri-peri ...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Matt3333:
I'm already on it.. I will definitely have more joy than setting up speedmod! Cheers buddy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mario1968:
Nice to hear that you can reach this screen on time, but about other kernels I disagree, because from GB time I test Siyah and Phenomenal and you are right that Siyah has more settings than Phenomenal, but about battery the winner is (for me) always Phenomenal. Another strange things you wrote is that you use your phone like if you bought a supercar but do not use the air conditioner, use only the directional lights because the other lights earn too much, and use to switch only 1St an 2nd gear to reduce speed.

If you reduce the performance of S2 only for reach more screen on time, was better you has bought a lower end phone, you has just spent less money.

No hurt, but the phone usage is very subjective, and is very annoying read this about other good kernels!

Stay with your preferred kernel/config and enjoy

Mario

Hi Gokhan, could you please compile a kernel module for ASIX USB to Ethernet adapters? I've downloaded your kernel sourcecode and integrated the source for the ASIX USB to Ethernet adapters and the module sucessfully compiled. But when I try to install the kernel module I get the error message: insmod: can't insert 'asix410.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
Um yeah, it would be fair actually. Gokhan doesn't owe any of us squat. He can do whatever he likes. And he's chosen to get an S3 & concentrate his efforts on making the best kernel he can make for that device.

That's perfectly fair. What's not fair is people on XDA with a sense of entitlement or who think devs 'owe them something'.
