One more feedback about Siyah 3.01.

I use it with DarkyROM HD Base XXLPQ since about two weeks now (well not 3.01 since two weeks as you may know ;) ). It runs pretty fine. I love having BLN and the brighness settings what I am missing with the standard kernel of DarkyROM. And I like ExTweaks and Voltage Control even if I do not overclock.

The wifi thing works fine since 3.01 for me. Maybe it takes some more seconds sometime but it works for me.

In the end there are only two things that could be better. I often have the tap not recognized problem and the battery comsumption is about twice of what it is with the standard kernel of DarkyROM. Especially in standby/deepsleep its about 2x what it is with the standard kernel of DarkyROM.

But, concerning the benefits of Siyah kernel, I can accept this and I am looking forward to the next releases.

Thank you for the really good work you do! I will certainly become a donator when all "my" bugs will be eliminated and Siyah gets my standard kernel. But this needs some more testing.

Concerning the battery consumption I am working on getting an idea of what there is going on. As I told with another kernel it is pretty fine for me so I think Siyah is not already optimized in this way or not in conjunction with DarkyROM.

When you look on the screenshot you can see, that I have many wakelocks (german "Aufwachen"). But when I use BetterBatteryStats I cannot see this wakelocks partial and kernel wakelocks are low. AndroidOS is very high at about 50%. I cannot figure out what this can be.

On "other" in BetterBatteryStats I get e.g. Awakw 3h 11m, 11508 s, Ratio 8,3% and Screen On 1h 3m, 3818 s, Ratio 2,8%.

CPUSpy gives me e.g. 91% DeepSleep. So I am really wondering where my Awake time comes from.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bzpwhx2:
I have to report the same issues like TAP not recognized sometime after going from an app to the home screen for example.

In battery stats please report "partial wakelock" list, mine showed MAIL app running in background tring to sync ... now with omega 9 and a fresh installation seems to be fine .

CF and Neak kernels seems to not have the TAB issue as well as the wifi one. BUT i suppose that they haven't a lot of features this kernel has.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
It's far more responsive and way less bloated that Samsung. Databases load faster task manager is faster. Scrolling smoother. There are a few things I miss like swipe to call and other nice Samsung touches but everything else cm9 has. It even has status bar sliding brightness adjustment borrowed from Samsung. (Bit slow but it works!)

You should definitely do a nandroid backup of your current rom/setup in siyah recovery and then flash cm9 and use it for a couple of days. Then restore your backup to compare. Just do a titanium backup as well for insurance

Hey,

just me or no BLN for SMS?

All in all Kernel is ok but battery drain is a bit high in my opinion....

Hope this will be better in next releases.

And for me don't work, not only for stock sms... for all notifications.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
stock samsung sms app doesn't give rise to an LED to flash as samsung phones have no LED!

if you want to use it then you need to change app or install LightFlow from the market.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] scarmona:
I'm afraid that didn't work. It had no effect on the screen sensitivity while charging at all.

Any other ideas on how to improve this? I was using Hacre's Nymphetamine when on GB and the sensitivity was perfect.

Thanks

Just bought extweaks as a small donation from me..I'm a little bit confused about oc..right now in voltage control I set 1400 for max..in ex tweaks I use performance profile..should also change the CPU steps? Right now they are all zero but due to overclocking should I change them?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Are you referring to smooth scaling parameters in ExTweaks?If yes,you can find a comprehensive explanation in droidphile's thread in the General section.

Long story short,if performance is what you're after,change all three options to 0.This will make the CPU jump to maximum frequency immediately under heavy load.Stock has all smooth scaling parameters set to 2.This option makes sure that the CPU "visits" frequencies between minimum and maximum frequency(depends on how you configure it) instead of jumping directly to the max frequency.This is better for battery-life(Although IMO you don't notice the slight performance hit in ICS).The choice is yours.If you are happy with stock behaviour,leave it as it is.

We're trying.Thank you. :)

why doesn't work my OTG cable in new version(3.0.1) ?

my rom : Lite'nning Rom v2.5

it works with the same rom and older versions of kernel , but with the new one , NO !

what's wrong???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Oh ****,yes. :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MistahBungle:
Just tested USB OTG with a USB drive, running 3.0.1 & CM9 latest nightly. Works fine, could access the files OK. Can't speak for other USB devices tho.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mitky82:
I found what is wrong. In cm9 pulse notifications have to be checked to work bln.... i dont know that and i wonder how to work bln. :) please post in changelog for other ppl. I never checked this option because dont work, and i dont know for what is that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I finished initramfs modifications for dual booting.

I can now create /sdcard/secondrom to boot the second rom. I have foxhound as my primary ROM and cm9 as secondary.

the only thing left is to implement making that selection during boot time.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marsexpress:
Lucky you! It's odd, I never had any problems with gb. I'm not knocking ics speed, it is fast and smooth. Can't say the same for stability.

The vibe from the forums jives with my experience I'd say. It's not unusable but coming from rock solid gb it's disappointing.

I'm on LP4, stock besides siyah kernel.

I must admit I'm tempted to try cyanogenmod 9.

Loving the speed and battery life on 3.0.1, first time I've tried a non stock kernal and wish I'd done it earlier!!

Got one question though; I can't seem to get bln to work.

I'm running the o2 UK version of ics - xwlp3, are their any specific settings to use other than checking the box in the bln control app? Its states enabled in green however the test notification does not turn the lights on when the power button is pressed. Thanks in advance.

Pretty damn impressive!!

Gokhan, looks like that OTG driver is almost ready to go from stuptzy. He even offers to help port the driver over.

With this you can run:

-a powered USB Y cable to an external hdd.

-support for OTG and custom spliced/ converted cables.

multiple devices via a mini $2shop USB hub.

support for USB audio DAC (provided a driver can be found/ported)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:

Anyone tried this on the Samsung based MIUI Roms?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marcosxd:
I feel like my phone is not entering deep sleep enough (more battery drain) with CM9, while with CM kernel it was, with Siyah it is not.

I already have CPU spy and BBS, most of the time my phone is @ 200mhz (with 2 hours of use I get barely 20 deep sleep mins), also I can notice because when it is in deep sleep, waking it up will take 1 or 2 more seconds, meanwhile when it is not, it will wake up immediately, which is happening when I install siyah (latest) and not with the custom CM kernel.

I didn't ov/uc, but I installed exTweaks... but still, with the default settings...

Any thoughts? Thanks

PS: this is without being charged, I know when you are charging it, it won't enter deep sleep.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nzkller:
My advise it to install betterbatterystats and see wich kernel wakeups it is not letting you phone enter deep sleep!!! and of course you should use battery profile instead of default profile!!!!

Let me know if it helped you

Best regards!!!

He said, he already have cpu spy and better battery stats

Lol, was happened a few times with my phone, I tried everything and no luck. I rebooted and kernel was in deep sleep again, I dunno what changed after reboot but was helpful.

Hey guys, how can i able to flash the latest version of cm9? I used this kernel but when i try to update my nightly to 0409 it says error on recovery mode. Can anyone help me.. thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mathsmart:
its not just you Im using speed mod k2-9 at the moment and I really think its kernel related PLUS when playing on youtube the phone get hot a bit more than usually did in speedmod of course the phone react a bit more and the feel is really good with syiah ! but entering deep sleep taking more time and its always still at 98% with cpuspy , even when changing shielder and gov setting

im flashing wanam 10.7 at the moment Ill see if its change something
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mr.Greg:
I don`t think this is because of kernel. Could a corrupted file you downloaded, try download again and flash.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shr33kant:
Anyone else getting touch issues when touch-dragging and then holding your finger still? It seems to wiggle for no reason, I've tried cm9 default kernel and siyah and both have these issues on Hydrogenics rom. Even tried turning the sensitivity down (vitalji and in aosp screen sensitivity) :( Going to try a different AOSP rom and report back!

Note:

I've tried N.E.A.K. and it doesn't seem to have this wiggle thing going on..

I have implemented the rom selection logic in recovery.

it is not finished yet. there will be a lot of improvements such as implementing the other menu items in dual-boot menu (CWM Recovery) or timout setting for the selection part (it is 3 seconds as default), changing default boot order or even a clever way of flashing CWM flashable zips to second rom.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] copponex:
I decided to try out BLN this evening. I downloaded BLN control from Google play, as said in the first post I then enabled it and tried if it worked both using the build in testing option in the app, but also by sending SMS to myself but I can't seem to get it working.

So the question is: am I doing something wrong or missing something out? Already tried the basics such as rebooting, reinstalling the app and reflashing the kernel and nothing seemed to help.

Would be very glad if someone could help me out ;)

Edit: After some more fiddling around I made it work, did some more dalvik and cache wipes and it then worked.

And contrary to some of the guys trying to help me out(thank you) it is working with stock SMS app for me :).

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the help :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Are u using the stock SMS app? If so, it doesn't work with it. You need to use go SMS or handcent for now.

EDIT: sorry was too slow...answer already out there...

EDIT2: just test it...did not work on stock LPQ with stock sms app. Learned something today :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wonsky21:
Say what? I think it depends of rom. I have Slim ICS, and BLN works just fine with stock sms app :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ElenaPower:
ok, thats the reason for your good battery times. I always have 3g running.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
It works on some custom roms if liblights file has been modified by the dev. Otherwise it won't work.

Edit... It doesn't work on stock rom if using stock kernel. If kernel supports it , it should work.

I think you'll find screen brightness has a bigger impact on battery life than whether u use 2g or 3g networks. Our S2 screen is by far the biggest drainer of battery ;)

I use 2g at home cause it gives me better signal coverage in my house and I use wifi.

I struggle to get good signal on 3g.

Sorry for the ignorance but I take it the dual boot will be only for 2 ICS Roms and not GB and ICS?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ElenaPower:
I tested with 2g and had much better battery times but I don't want to change 2g/3g all the time so I always have 3g running.

At home I only have 2g maybe this is a problem when there is no 3g available but activated? So I should look for an App that changes 2g/3g automatically denpending of the cell I am logged in.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I am now using samsung + cm9 but maybe I will try miui (samsung based) + cm9 later.

or maybe I will support booting 3 different roms later... dual-booting to tri-booting..?

hmm, that will require moving the system partition to sdcard as well.

2.6 GB extra for each rom.

we can have 4 roms on sdcard. and 12 more on an 32GB external sd...

it's hard to name it. maybe orgy-booting? :D

well.. let's have dual first...

it will help my testing process a lot. I will always keep a stable version as the second rom in case I need to use my phone for the purpose I bought it a year ago :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Haha....orgy booting...love it !!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ithehappy:
Yea, lol. I'll use MIUI along with Stock then.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ElenaPower:
Maybe a silly question. When you have dual boot do you then have two completely different installations with different apps and so on (like a VM on a PC/Mac?) or is the configuration and the app identical and only another ROM als "background"?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sepharite:
Everything works great with CM9, no problems whatsoever.

EXCEPT one thing, battery life. Screen has only been on for an hour, and I'm down 40%, seems a bit too much.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tolis626:
Orgy-booting sounds good.And I found a slogan too: Phones do it better than whores :D (Lol,that's terrible,don't listen to me :p )

Anyway,space is not an issue,as it's kinda dynamic.If you manage to make it possible to install zips directly to the secondary rom and not having to clone the current rom in order to install the secondary etc(Problems like the one I described a few pages ago can arise in that case-the nandroid backup can't restore apps installed in external storage),it will be perfectly perfect. ;)

Now to the really serious stuff.When did you say you'd make my phone cook for me? :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] confusedmuse:
Market Enabler is working well, have downloaded Voodoo Louder at least 10 times. With recent versions of Voodoo Louder the kernel doesn't has to support the app btw. The app has to support the kernel. But it worked with any Siyah version till now, 3.0.1 too.

Two ICS roms, GB roms would need a different kernel, one of the reasons that dualbooting will work as "well" is that one kernel can boot stock and AOSP roms, rather than having a different kernel for each rom.

Apologies if this has been covered before, but is anyone else experiencing issues with Wifi draining the battery, irrespective of the Wifi sleep settings? It doesn't even appear to be causing wakelocks according to BBS, but when Wifi is turned on, the standard Android battery stats shows the device as being awake for long periods, draining the battery.

Is it just fairly new Wifi drivers? Or just me? :p
