[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Many of us will use CyanogenMod 10 and Siyah kernel build by gokhanmoral, as it is maybe one of the best combinaison for a powerful and smooth device. My past experience with CM7 and Syiah Kernel show me some questions will hardnessly find a right place in the CyanogenMod 10 nightly builds | DISCUSSION THREAD neither in [KERNEL][ICS] SiyahKernel v3.0 thread. The issues you may experience could in fact be due to this specific combinaison, and when posting in CM10 thread you will be told to use only the custom Cyanogenmod Kernel, and when posting in Syiah thread you will be told your issue is CM10 relative and has nothing to do with the Kernel!!

Thus the idea to create an area dedicated to users running both Syiah kernel and CM10 ROM. They won't waste time posting and being flamed on both threads. I already can see some users jumping from one thread to another one.

When posting in this thread, you will lighten the main discussion threads, and browsing them will be easier.

Before you post, do a minimum of search in both threads to ensure there is not an easy and quick answer.

Then think twice, be as much as precise as you can when presenting your issue. We all will gain in efficiency and save our time.

Please keep this thread clean and useful in order to avoid "mass browsing". Refrain from flaming and adding to the crap ; do not offense, even in case of n00bish and stupid question; avoid any needless posts about your mood such as "Go Syiah", "Codeworkx, you are the best", "I love my phone" or any out of topic consideration.

learn a litle bit about BBC Code, and try to organise your post.

Be accurate and smart as much as you can. Answering will be easier and your post will help other users.

Both main threads are heavily busy, so I hope this one will help us in getting quick answers for both advanced users AND n00bs.

UNDERSTANDING ANDROID

Below is a link to a must read document about Android and how it works on your device. The pdf is quite big, 485 pages, but do not be afraid. All is very well explained, in a very clear english and academic fashion, so even n00bs can understand. There is a lot of pictures and very practical explainations.

Kernel cleaning scripts

Most often, custom Kernels create special directories and config files. If you want to switch from one custom Kernel to another one, it is not a bad idea to run this script before flashing the new Kernel. It will do some cleaning on your file system by removing all custom tweaks let by the Kernel.
