I never tried using a usb hub in my tests but there are already some other complaints. usb problems are also in my list.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AndreiLux:
It may be interesting to be able to change the screen touch frequency, especially in ICS since much is GPU accelerated. I know it's relatively big code change for little practical change, but it might be worth it if residency times slide into the new frequency steps under 500MHz (I'm testing 16 step and until now I like it)

Yup. As long as we still have root, cwm manager app will still work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rosgr100:
for kernel flashing use mobile odin or CMW app

i am back to b4...i flash it through CWM app,then i went into recovery

i ran kernel cleaning script just in case to remove all b5 effects and i reflash b4 zip through recovery!

b4 it looks like old good wine i just run quadr 2 and i got 4302 although b4 have some problems seems more stable far from the others!

...ohh and i forget to mention that i am using magicconfig on b4 for uv!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xeenon:
in b3 I got two bugs :

1. I can't accept a call. my phone is ringing, but the display is still black. after a while I get da FC from Telefon. apk

2. can't create backups in recovery. it says "no backup path" or something like that.

I'm using 0320 cm9.

now I'll try b5 and test

VPN module?

Hi Gok,

A request to add to your list when you have time :)

Could you include the "IPSec Tunnel mode drivers" into the kernel? It's apparently needed to use VPN on a Cisco IPSec concentrator. There was a bug reported in android for this, and ICS has fixed it. you can see the official android dev response here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3902#c1615

The interesting part is in the third paragraph in that comment i guess, although i'm sure you understand what i'm asking without reading this.

Btw i have an idea about the slogan:

SiyahKernel 3.0 - Not the best, but trying!

:P this will scare away the type of user that we don't want here filling this thread with 20 pages of crap before the kernel is even released.

STOCK colors and brigthness...please....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mickliq:
Scary moments with b5. As others have reported, I lost Recovery and could not flash b4 through CWM app either.

Here's the fix:

Download the TAR version of b4

Start phone in download mode

Start up Odin

Flash the TAR file of Odin as Bootloader

You're back at b4 and CWM should be back too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
Guys if you Bork settings just flash siyah alpha 7 and you will be able to boot the phone, undo bad settings and flash back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
Oh yeah recovery is gone!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aceofclubs:
B5 working nicely here.

Not using extweaks only voltage control. OV/UV using magicconfig + a step lower UV.

No yellowing, not FC, no stuttering, no sod, silky smooth LP7. Quadrant ok and recovery ok. Used mobile Odin to flash.

Haven't load tested just daily usage.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
It is just the recovery that have gone missing (with both cwm and tar) but other then that b5 is fine at least for me (confirm GPU oc/uc is good now). :D

I am sure Gokhanmoral will fix this in b6 so let's just wait for him while he rest. It is only day 3 since the source code was released. Just enjoy and test b5 for now. If you cannot have access to Odin for a while, then you might consider holding back b5 for now (only because of the recovery).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eric-filth:
Anyone please explain for me.

Why i cant use anymore my uv settings from GB?

ICS need more voltage?

Kernel issue?

Or apps (tegrak or voltage control) problems?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] radi8:
+ 1 - beta5 = No Recovery

But apart from that great job so far!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] addison8406:
beta 5 make the screen colour so weird, and the recovery was gone....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
Not sure bout differences but If if you flash back alpha 7 and note stock voltages you'll notice that these beta's come undervolted as stock settings... can't remember exactly by how much so if you UV you need to take this into account.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] newgargamel:
I know about it but they didn't change anything in my case. I'm currently on 3.2b1 and I'm having the same problems with it since 3.0

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Hardcore implemented something like a larger buffer for the toggle actions on his kernel, since then the issue is gone,

- min_free_kbytes increased to fix wifi toggling issue

His sources are available, so maybe Gokhan can have a closer look our ask him about this change?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
it's wjchen who suggested that fix about a week ago ( https://github.com/gokhanmoral/siyahkernel3/issues/4#issuecomment-5272791 )

and it is already applied to both v3.1.2 and v3.2b1.

although it works I remove that workaround in v3.2b2 because new wifi drivers already fix that problem.

weird small but annoying drain

Hello,

After i've heard of the terrible misfortune that happened to the rc6 users, i've decided to update the kernel which was otherwise working flawlessly (in idle 1% in about 8 hr, no heatups, no wifi toggle prob.) all was well.

Now on 3.1.2 I have 4% drain in 4 hr. idle .

After flash I let the phone rest for 10 hr (calibrating) and charged fully but still a little fast draining for my taste.

Plus the device seems hotter but it could be my imagination.

I have changed nothing from before (appwise) , no 3g ,no wifi , no autosych when I tested.

What could be the problem? should I revert to 3.1?

Thank you in adv.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Version 3.2b1 has solved the heating problem for me. It's also better in battery too because it solved a wakelock problem related to wifi.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I don't remember any change which can result such a big difference.

my guess about the difference is that 100% level can actually be 102% or even more.

and no visual observation in short term will give you an idea about battery consumption unless you are using an industrial grade ammeter to monitor the consumption.

try this: charge your phone to 100% starting from, lets say, 90 and disconnect the charger as soon as you reach 100% then monitor idle consumption in 4 hours.

then recharge your phone for 2 hours, again starting from 90 and observe the same without changing any parameters (use same location, same apps, same wireless connection method and same kernel)

and if you find them to be equal I will try my best to find out the reason of that difference.

but if you see that the consumption percentages differ more than 50% please just ignore and stop monitoring battery usage in such a short periods.

Reading over much of this thread, am I right in thinking BLN no longer works at all with the last few builds of this kernel at the moment?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rauschkugl:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hawkerpaul:
That's odd then. I've not been able to get it to work at all on AndyX and Wanamlite.

I've got the BLN app enabled etc. but no joy.

I've noticed I do not have a /system/lib/hw/lights.GT-I9100.so file but not sure if this file was a GB specific file or not.

Serious DHCP bug on 3.1.2 and 3.2 beta

gokhanmoral - there is a serious DHCP bug on these two version where only the first host connecting as DHCP client through wifi tether is allowed and rest of them get timed out. Even after the first host try to reconnect, it is not successful.

I really love your kernels and am a great fan. Really hope this issue is fixed. Here are my observations:

1. Looks like DHCP server config after installing your kernel allows only one DHCP client to connect

2. DHCP server may have got very slow to respond in a timely manner due to which clients get timed out when trying to get an IP

3. Manual IP config works fine on the clients

4. Switching back to 3.0.x fixes this issue

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gammelgustav:
Ok...

Just became my S2 :D

Now I want to DualBoot a LP8 ROM and a MIUI ROM...

My question is if the tutorial from the beginning of the thread (backup etc.) is still up-to-date with 3.2 beta versions?

Also: Which part will take the restored ROM? Second or primary or can I choose it (before installation - I know there is the "swap" option)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
swapping is easier.

if you already have a rom installed, swap, install or restore another, then swap again if you like.

flashing or installing zips to second rom will be possible but there will be some limitations.

and nandroid to/from second rom is not implemented yet.

EDIT: keep in mind that installing another rom may overwrite kernel. so, you may have to reinstall siyahkernel after flashing a rom.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] umermajeed:
Ok I'll set them up seperately...I thought maybe kernel controls most of these functions and if I set the settings to apply at boot I wont have to make the changes twice..

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pilgrim011:
I know everything about those bricks.It was only one RC6 version (#76 me thinks), the rest are all good.;)

Edit - I cannot go back to rc6 - I realize now that there are some dual boot changes in the latest few kernel releases that I'm using... Too bad...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] powerover:
I think I have located a possible reason for the drain,

my phone just didnt go to sleep (wakelock) all night with the e-mail app

running it when i had no WIFI or 3g and the app was configured to never sych unless told to, and the same goes for the native music app ,

Before when i listend to music with screen off the phone was half asleep...

Is there something to fix the problem?

I would very much like to revert back to RC6 - I understand that the version that you have on your website is safe now

And I have a close to stock wanamlite that all these fixes that came after 3.1RC6 don't matter to me.

Will very much like a reply

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JAG131990:
This game of tweaking and updating is never ending. One release we see steps removed and the next their back and it continues.. rc6 was fantastic yet those magic combination of CPU steps and scheduler isn't working again.

I just wish instead of the 3 new derivative kernels that get produced everyday with some random deciding to take entirely the same kernel tweak four settings and start a tread - that these guys would band together and form development teams. Many minds on one or two great kernels that's what we need.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I could not find a way to keep the lights on while BLN control is installed (it is disabling backlight after you unlock the screen).

so, I merged cream's bln implementation with dvtonder's implementation, as in GB kernel, but with some more care..

in v3.2b2 bln may have some bugs.

if you do not keep bln control installed and use aokp/cm9 menus to enable bln and configure timeout lights won't turn off after unlocking with bln notifications active.

I have not tested it fully with an aokp rom yet, only tested with scripts.

so, please test and report if you notice any problems.

You don't like it?There's a Greek saying for you:"The door is open and the dogs are tied",which means you can leave whenever you want and no one is going to stop you.No one is forcing you to use this kernel,or all the steps or anything.And in case you think the guys making the kernels for one device don't cooperate,you have missed the point of the community by a big margin.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gaz617:
Totally agree, you only need to look to look at all the people thanked in the first post to know that this is a community project with people cooperating on making a great kernel. I'm using siyah as it is the best for me, like you said, try things out if you don't like it leave.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JAG131990:
I think you misunderstood me... I am greatfull of the work produced. Just I know Gokhan is just one man and he simply can't bug find everything all by himself. Just wish that more people would contribute together so that we don't have to make 3 steps forward and two steps backwards

Edit:

Gokhan, I understand you are playing around with wifi drivers at the moment. Ever since about 3.1 I noticed I can't connect to my university wifi point. The security is 802.1x EAP. Not sure if it is due to driver or not?

I see you updated drivers again to bcmdhd I guess I will try beta 2 tomorrow and report back

I should add wifi is connected and working fine on my home network just not the university
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:

let's see if updated wifi drivers will give you the same experience with rc6 or not.

don't worry, there is no dangerous modiications while updating wifi drivers.
