What did you mean with "doesn't like to be watched" ?

Hmmm, i found some other problem with pegasusq: i set it as governor (in setcpu and extweaks), and i did watch ;) But first second core stays off, even if benchmarking or somewhat. If i set 2ndcore app to all cpu on, core goes online and stays online. After a reboot, it seems that phone starts more slowly than normal, i looked and second core is off...

Thats not really more agressive ;)

The first 2 or 3 results should have your answer.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

I'm imagining that "doesn't like to be watched" means that if you're running an app to view on the screen the state of the CPU, that app will itself require more CPU resources and make the 2nd core kick in (or keep online).

Perhaps leaving the device idle (even with the screen on, on the homescreen) might allow the 2nd core to go idle as it's no longer updating status bars every second.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nihilista:
OK, but this behavior is only seen with pegasusq, and - tested it another time - after reboot only one core and slow phone....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ObihoernchenDE:
You could use setCPU

With 4.0.1 booting problem is solved! :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
thanks for reporting.

If you have no problems with v4.0 you don't have to download and install v4.0.1.

Even though I say this I am sure most of you will download and install anyway :)

the only change is the init binary and one-line change in init.rc
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] markjh:
So you use setCPU, 2ndcore app and ex tweaks? :eek:

I can not download anything after installing this kernel to Codeworkx's latest 4.1.1 JB. e g. Can not download new update of this kernel from OP link. Same was with 3.5.2 but at that time i thought i messed up something.

Any way to fix this out i am the only one with this problem?

I dont use 3 apps same time, 2dncore only to look, no boot setting, setcpu and extweaks set to the same values, so that they dont interfere....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
actually they may have a conflict because pegasusq disables stand_hotplug which has 2ndcore support.

so, if you enable both cores with 2ndcore app pegasusq has no idea about that.

I am writing this post without reading/debugging the code so I may be wrong but there is a potential problem there.

I should have disabled 2ndcore support when pegasusq is selected because 2ndcore is controlling stand_hotplug behavior but pegasusq doesn't use that module to control hotplugging. it has another logic.

if you want to force single/dual cores you can use setcpu to set one of pegasusq's parameters (max_cpu_count or something like that).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nalab1:
Hi!

Just installed 4.0.1 on Neatrom lite (UHLPS) and it works fine! Certainly feels a lot snappier!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nihilista:
I never activate "set on boot" in 2ndcore app, i use it only to watch, with 3.5.2 kernel that was no problem. But i have another strange issue, maybe with setcpu: If i set to pegasusq, and then set another governor (in setcpu AND extweaks), first it switches back to pegasusq, i have to set it again and again, after some switches it holds setted governor. But maybe thats no problem with kernel.

I dont want to force single or dual core, just want the governor to set cores on/off if needed or not, but maybe something is broken in the pegasusq-logic, if i use hotplug governor cpu seems to scale like it should. Will test it more.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jgcaap:
for high usage wich is best governor? i've been using pegasus, does it use dual core? I didnt understand very well the post of gokhanmoral, is there problems with using pegasus govenor as dual core?

Thanks for this kernel is working great.

Is there a way of activating deep idle like in Galaxy S? This save tons of battery (in galaxy s with deep idle on, it only used 4% in 10 hours of battery when screen was off). Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
I can confirm that pegasusq will take more time to turn off the 2nd core. I observed this through the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online interface.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cybernetus:
You need to test the best governor for your configuration.

Here, I use the ondemand governor. It's very battery friendly.

LED_TIMEOUT and subsequently LED-FADEOUT doesn't seem to be working with latest kernel anymore. :(

If I select for example 3 seconds in LET_TIMEOUT and click apply, in previous kernel versions, the leds would fade out after 3 seconds, but this time nothing happens.

If I exist ExTweaks and open it again then go to BLN section, the LED_TIMEOUT is set to disabled even though I had previously set it to 3 seconds and hit apply.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vitoski:
What Rom are you on? I am on CM9 and control timeout by the system settings (in ExTweaks I have disabled timeout). With this configuration Fadeout works perfectly with ExTweaks-I can enable it and disable and it takes effect

For some reason the touch backlight is messed up. When I disable the option under sensors (so that it is not always on when screen is on) it also stays always off, no matter what I set in extweaks (enabled timeout, enable on touch, fadeout, still all does nothing). And when I set the option under sensors to always on then the lights are always on, no matter what timeout I set in extweaks. In 3.X this worked flawlessly but with newest version it doesn't

Using latest ICS resurrection remix Rom (not JB)

Also extwekas says "something went wrong" after saving settings.

I tried resetting Extweaks profile, rerooting, clearing cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions. Didn't help.

Also others seem to have the same problem. I think in this rom you can't change the touchbutton backlight duration, you have to use Extweaks but it doesn't work. Used to work fine with Siyah 3.x
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yahyoh:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Seth25:
Just tried some more settings and nothing from ExTweaks under BLN works.

The only setting that works in under SGS2 settings and that makes the keys be always on when the screen is on, that's it.

It's kinda annoying to always have them on with no possibility of turning off. :(

I got the same problem, i reverted back to 3.5.2 and it works perfectly.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hyperbolic:
I had that problem too because I am using ExTweaks and setCPU together.

The solution is easy, change the governor you want at ExTweaks, after that, change it in setCPU to the same one and reboot.

Problems with SiyahKernel 4.0.1

Hi guys,

I flashed the latest 4.0.1 on my way back home from work, was at that moment running Siyah 3.5.1 with PDA XWLPI ROM Deodexed with Verts theme and modem XXLQ5 (best modem I've ever used!) with no problems at all. Flashed with Mobile Odin and after the reboot everythig looked fine. Seems to be very quick, I had 3G signal and tried to access XDA...no luck, no apps could get access the internet. Hmm, back to recovery mode, clear cach and dalvik cach. reboot, still no connection and I have lots of signal:(. Went back to 3.5.1 and averything worked perfect again without clearing any caches. Not sure what's wrong:confused:, perhaps I need to integrate it directly in my own build, but I'm looking foreward to any sugestions:o

See Ya':good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vivalasven:
I cant disable the Softkeys on my first Rom (cMiui). When i set the timeout in ExTweaks on 1 Second + fadeout, close the app and open it again, there is "disabled". So it doesn´t save my config. On my 2nd Rom, latest Paranoidandroid, it´s no problem.

On S2 kernel v. 4.0

First let me say that this is the best dual boot kernel for SG2. I run XWLPO as my primary rom and AOKP CM9 as my second rom. Previously, I had problems with the camera, USB connection, Bluetooth (won't work) with XWLPO. This kernel (I am using 4.0) took care of all of those problems. Note while many users wrote about pegasusq governor not turning off one core, this was not the case with me. Give it enough time and it does not take long, one of the cores will shut down. It behaves just fine. My configuration is default and the only adjustment I made was a gamma shift of -25 to lower the brightness of the screen. I waited for a day to write to be fair with my observations. This kernel gives me excellent battery life losing only 3% overnight and should provide at least 3 hours of screen time easily. And my soft key lights turn on and off like they should. Thanks GM. You are the MAN!!! This is a masterpiece! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
Yes, it'll turn off eventually. However the length of time reduces the ROI for power vs performance. That's the main point of contention here.

I've broke that problem with mine that I'm using latest cm10 + siyah 3.5.2 (maybe I'd better use the latest). Then check your APN (setting>mobile network > APN> tick it). See the details, check at proxy number if it's exist numbers then set it blank. Sometime proxy setting can't breach secure connection as your device avoid that. It works me & good luck!! :cool:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Zimaia:
hi all of you :)

I tested the latest 4.01 version and compare to 3.5.2 i have less speed, a little bit lag when sliding pages and problems with wifi.

I usually transfer data from pc to phone with ftp. with 3.5.2 no problem at all but with 4.0.1 filezilla in pc stop the connection every time i try to transfer some data.

So i reverted to 3.5.2 and everything is normal again.

I'm on miui 2.8.3 from miuiandroid

Wow, I've been running CM9 for some time, and now moved onto CM10. I'd been reading all the posts on the CM9/10 threads saying that CM isn't supported with a non-CM kernel. But I'd been having awful battery life, so decided to throw caution to the wind and give Siyah 3.5.2 a go. WOW, instant improvement. My phone will now genuinely last all day on a single charge, rather than be asking for more power by 6pm.

I know there's no thing as a silly question ... so I'm going to ask ...

Previously when flashing a new ROM, I would:

Reboot into CWM

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Install newer CM zip

Install GApps zip

Reboot.

Now I've got a different kernel, do I need to:

Reboot into CWM

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Install newer CM zip

Install GApps zip

Install Siyah Kernel

Reboot

I'm conscious that I don't want the kernel to be overwritten when flashing to a newer ROM version.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes, you need to flash Siyah straight after flashing a new CM nightly. Otherwise the kernel will be overwritten and you will end up with CM stock.
