Can someone help me on the music apps. I'm not using Apollo and installed Google Play Music ans MusicFX and have been using it for the past month or so. When Apollo was merged into the ROM the musicFX equalizer would sometimes be on, then like 5 mins later the equalizer does not work. A reboot and/or clearing cache and dalvik and wiping app data solves this but after for the an hour the equalizer stops working again. This has been happening on both stock and siyah kernel. I'm reverting to the 0523 build due to this but I can't go on like this. Any advice?

@ glennf22

From CM9 discussion thread:

How did you appreciate your journey into CM9 discussion thread?

That's why I created this thread, and posting here first was a good reflex.

Unfortunately, this thread is not very active, nevertheless all my efforts to keep it regularly updated and accurate.

If only users with Syiahkernel could take the habit to post here, this would give some life to this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] raptor22:
I did mention that it happens on both stock cm9 kernel and siyah, so I guess it should be a ROM issue right? Its not about DSP manager, but other equalizers. Anyway I fixed permission and it seems to be ok now.... not sure why would other equalizers other than DSP manager just die off.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
A note about the "Lockscreen issue"

Here is what I can say based above my observations on my device and readings across discussion threads:

The issue is a few second unresponsive screen.

I do not know why users talk about Lockscreen issue, as it arrised not only on lockscreen, but even on any screen. I would say it is much more a touchscreen issue.

It happens randomly. It means you can not even see it with a low to moderate device use.

Wait for a few seconds, then the screen is working normally.

It happens on both CM9 stock and Syiahkernel.

Gokham put a download link on the discussion thread to a 3.2.6.4 test Kernel this morning. Even if it is maybe too early to tell, it seems this test Kernel erases this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] danfalcas:
This was an issue with CM9, they changed some values on the lockscren config, sometimes i had to wait 3 min for it to work.

now on latest nightly and latest siyah... theres no issue :)

2012/05/31

flashed 0531 CM9. New feature: see your calendar notification on your lock screen.

flashed V3.2.7.2. New trick: press quickly 4 times the home button, and colors will be inverted. It will give a black background to your browser app, and save battery when browsing internet.

Lockscreen issue didn't happened till now. Wifi is connecting quickly. Seems to me it is a very good and stable duo. Extweaks seetings are not reset.
[Galaxy S II General] NABNAP:
I'd been using the default CM9 kernel but switched back to siyah to try B2G. I got as far as putting B2G but I having problems with the "install-gaia" step. I would follow the instructions but I am running Mac OSX, has anyone been able to do this through a Mac?

@gabx : Your thread is immensely helpful with all your links and instructions. Many thanks.

Can't boot into CWM recovery SiyahKernel v3.0beta5

Just flashed SiyahKernel v3.0beta5 by wiping cache/dalvik first through CWM. I was on SiyahKernel v3.0beta3 before and running HyDrOG3N-ICS 20.03 latest build, and after flashing beta5 kernel, i cannot boot into CWM recovery mode. I tried flashing CWM recovery through Rom Manager, but no success, Samsung logo appears and goes straight to booting animation instead of recovery. I tried reading all the threads, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone has a solution for this?

* @ gokhanmoral Your kernel is amazing, stable, fast and excellent job with the new beta5, BLN works now!!
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
beta5 boots on CM9 and scrolling is just very good.

Playing with settings in Extweaks is working too, even if I didn't test all possibilities.

Very good job, as usual.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
As stated in the |OP|, SyiahKernel breaks my 200 dpi usage.

I tried LCD Resolution from Play, but it doesn't change the dpi.

I tried LCD Density Modder from Play, but I couldn't boot anymore.

I am still trying to figure out how to go back to 200 WHITOUT any external app. I think there is something different in the SyiahKernel initramfs which prevents my device to use a local.prop file with the desired density.

If any one of you have any idea or tweak, he is welcomed.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
FM Radio is implemented in SyiahKernel and will work on CM9. I know it is a mssing feature for many CM9 users.
[Galaxy S II General] anaweb:
I think that the Kernl siyah of Ice has not yet settled :)
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
u tried it? the spirit fm works in cm9 using siyah b5?

mtp will be broken back if i using siyah on 20/3.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I tried randomly two FM apps from Play, and yes, they play music.

I upgraded to CM0322, and it boots with SyiahKernel beta5.

As for the lags, scrawling, I can't really tell. Need more time to play with Extweaks settings and both Kernels. Furthemore, I tend to think there is a lot of placebo effect when reporting the general feeling about the overall smothness. So best is to be cautious when it comes to compare.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I see some users reporting a working BLN with CM9/SyiahKernel. It is not my case.

Am I missing something?
[Galaxy S II General] zekurosu:
has anyone tested beta5 with latest nightly aka 0322?

with stock kernel, i cant enter deep sleep, even if i've took out the battery for a minute as propose by someone in cm9 thread
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Read the |op| please (first post). They both run togther perfectly.
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Not at all : I am not listening radio at all!!

I went on Play, then downloaded SKY.FM (need to register, so I left), then MOSKVA.FM (Russian radio). My goal was only a test purpose.

[Galaxy S II General] bajee11:
Latest SiyahKernel v3.0beta5 + HyDrOG3N-ICS 20.03.. Works amazingly well. BLN works and really smooth. CWM recovery is back with the new beta5. If you can't boot into recovery when you flashed beta5, Download the new beta5 from gokhanmoral.com as ODIN Tar and flash it with odin under PDA. You should now have the new beta5 and CWM recovery. :D
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I am very happy for you mate if you enjoy your device. But let me ask you:

what does your post have to do with CM9?

Please read first post.

TY
[Galaxy S II General] crazyscow:
the base is of CM9 nightly :)

sorry dont want to interfere, but thought ill just answer that.
[Galaxy S II General] bajee11:
Thanks for the reply.. Yea i thought HyDrOG3N was based on CM9. Correct me anyone if im wrong.:)
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
You are right, but it is a moded version of CM9, and these modifications COULD bring to some different behaviors.

So some of your issues could only be attributed to this ROM, and not to the dual CM9/SyahKernel usage.

But welcome anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Is there an ideal flash procedure for getting Siyah Kernel working on CM9? Or is it just CWM->flash kernel->restart once on CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
install first CM9.

Put your zip file in sdcard

Reboot in CWM

Install zip from sdcard

chose zip from internal sdcard

flash

reboot
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Many thanks for your comments, as i sometimes doubt about this thread, not really very active!

As for your issues with make install Gaia, I have read there have been recurrent issues with OSX dev tools. Normally they are solved today.

Did you have a read at theWiki? Did you try to google a litle bit? I am quite sure you have same issues as other OSX users.

I can not really help with OSX, as I quit Apple few years ago.

If you feel comfortable, post in the mailing list. It is very active, and you shall have an answer very quickly.As usual, respect basic rules: polite, precise(when issue arrises, console output, working environment...) and short. I have no doubt you will manage to solve the issue, as Gaia is the easiest part of the job.

Be sure to connect your device, with a working ADB when make install gaia.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] NABNAP:
I'm sure there are a lot more lurkers than posters.

Yes, I looked around before asking but Galaxy SII, Mac and B2G is a rather specific combination and I don't think a very popular one.

I'll check with the mailing list.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Yes it is working with emulator.

As most often, there should be a history somewhere of all mailing list with a search function. I am pretty sure I have seen posts regarding OSX and how to deal.

flashed 0605 Cm9

When rebooting from flashing only Cm9, not syiahkernel, got a bootloop. Reboot again and tehn you will run Cm9 with STOCK kernel. Didn't try yet to flash over Syiahkernel, as Iam very busy these days.

There is a How To here:

As for me, back to the nandroid back up of last working combo, Cm 0531+3.2.7.2 until I have time

EDIT : My bad, flashed CM7 instead of CM9 !! As there are again CM7 nightlies, didn't take care enough and flashed worng version.

Everything is fine now.

Please use THIS thread for this issue, as there is nothing to do in the Cm9 discussion thread. This is typically an issue to be discussed here.

I've installed CM9 20120605 with Siyah 3.3.1 and also used the "Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script" and I had no problem.

Is working OK.
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
Another question... is the kernel o the CM that enables the "invert screen colors by pressing 4 times the Home key"?

How do I turn it off?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Correct. After upgrading everything, no bootlopp with 3.3.1 and Cm9 0605.

My bad: didn' take care enough and flashed Cm7 !!! It is very easy to download Cm7 rc instead of Cm9.

[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
I'm still using 3.2.5.2 and everything is working fine, except for wifi that sometimes needs a push, and have too switch it on and off 3 or 4 times. Is this fixed in newer versions? Any particular version i should flash? I read that latest version has some wake bug and the battery drains faster.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
You shouldn't have to make install Gaia at each boot. Once it is done, Gaia will stay.

Wifi is working.

As for now, because of rempval, my only computer is a my gf F* Ipad. My box is still unpacked and won't be before a few days. I can't help you in a very precise manner, but just tell you it works and if you can be a litle patient, we will solve your issues.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
On first post, you will find my current configuration in blue, just near the end of the post. The configuration I show is always a WORKING one.

So go 3.3.1 and last nightly, and wifi will work like a charm, and even the lockscreen issue has almost gone.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Lockscreen issue was gone after 3.2.7.2, for me anyways. :)
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Same here, but I am just cautious, as this issue occured very randomly, and even according Gohkam, it is still here, even if hapenning very rarely.

Afterall, wifi and lockscreen can be said OK. For me, I do not see anymore major issue.

Thank you for keeping this thread alive!!

Possibly bricked my phone...Guidance Appreciated

I am on cm9 + siyah 3.2.8.Phone is AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH I-777) Everything was working fine until I used Rom Manager to take back up of existing cm9 rom and looks like my phone has bricked.

Here is the state of it:

1) When I try to start it, I see the samsaung (with yellow triangle in my case) and then, the phone stop.

2) When I try to go into recovery mode vol up/down, power, It gets me to samsung but logo and then the screen goes blank.

Any sort of guidance on recovering highly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Can you get into download mode?

Also, why the hell were you using ROM Manager to backup and not doing it through recovery?

ROM Manager is not fully compatible with SGS2s and has never been.

[Galaxy S II General] Happy_Jack:
Firstly don't panic, it isn't bricked; the bootloader is working.

If you do a Google search you will find many posts about this. Generally the recommendation is to flash the standard ROM back onto your phone with Odin on a PC.

To get into download mode simply connect the USB cable to the PC then plug the other end into your phone while holding the volume down button. If that works then you're home and dry. Good luck!

Warning: DO NOT flash Siyah 3.2.8 back on your phone when you've got it booting again - that version causes corruption, which is why it has been removed from the Siyah download page. I'm staying with 3.2.7.2 for now (3.3.1 causes the occasional power-off on my phone).
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
one word about the Samsung brick bug

You may have read here and there that there is a nasty bug, bricking your device, in some Firmwares and Kernels.

This bug is known and Samsung is working on it.

DO NOT PANIC

There is NO reason to brick your phone if you stick to CM9 and SyiahKernel. YES, as some mistakenly state, Syiahkernel is FREE of this bug.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Flashed CM9 0609. Nothing really new neither exciting. Working well.

You don't need to wipe data/dalvik cache anymore, it seems it is implemented in the ROM.

[Galaxy S II General] nikha:
Thanks for your reply.Really appreciate your response.

Finally... Here is what I did for some noobs like me out there

1. Flashed Gingerbread 2.3.4 with root from this thread. Make sure you don't format the SD card while setting the phone to factory reset condition

2. Flahed the StockRootZedomaxKernel from this thread

3. Restored an already existing backup of cm9 nightly.

4. Phone back to working condition as before.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I noticed that last Chrome Beta ( 0.18.4531.3636) is running really fast on CM9 now. Nothing to do with previous versions. Worth a try if you don't have it.

As for Superuser app, I am fed up of having Extewaks FCing much of the time on first launch. I am not satisfied by the remove root/install root in Extweaks, as it doesn't work so good. So I downloaded SuperSU from Chainfire thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

and intsalled it via CWM recovery. It indeed will replace superuser app, and now Extweaks doesn't FC anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Switched to chrome as main browser too, latest release are faster than stock browser, plus gestures are great for fast browsing.

EDIT:

Since i had some free time this morning i got the chance to update to latest Siyah and CM9, didn't get a bootloop, phone just took a little longer to boot, maybe the kernel removed some stuff since extweaks is back to stock settings.

Noticed that Siyah removed the extra 3MB of RAM (before was 832mb, now is 829mb, just like stock CM9 kernel).
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Flashed CM9 0611. Since 0609, you can add notification counts in your status bar.

It is not working for SMS if you use the stock app.

My device is running like a charm, and honestly appart some cosmetic changes, I do not see what huge improvment can be found.

Battery life is good, even if some users are not happy with last few nightlies (anything greater than 0527). The discussion thread is full of posts about battery life, but I did not see any drain since long now. I have not many extra apps installed, neither Facebook, and do not live with a dark screen as I want to take profit of this wonderful Super Amoled. So DO NOT stress too much about drain. If you have some, just try to see what extra app is the cause, check wakelocks and lower your screen brightness.

And do not believe all these posts about huge battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Don't know the others, but i got great battery life, and Siyah 3.3.1 seems to have improved it slightly.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I agree, with normal usage, you can go 1 day 1/2. I just wanted to point there is no need to stress about a potential poor battery life with one build or another one. If your device is well configured, battery will be OK.

Im new in android and everything seems very complex to me. Yesterday I rooted my phone GS2 I9100 and now i have Siyah v.3.2b8. Everything seemd fine (I guess). Today morning I wanted to install this new kernel Siyah v.3.2.7.2.

My question is: how do i do that and does this new kernel work with CM9 and Rresurrection v.2.2?

Thank you in advance :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Why that version??

Flash SiyahKernel v3.3.2. Works fine with all AOSP ROMS.
[Galaxy S II General] TediTamo:
I just downloaded that (.tar file). What should I do now?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
If you are already running CM9, and it seems the case, best is to download the .zip file and not the tar file.

Here is how to proceed:

-download zip (for CWN recovery) from http://www.gokhanmoral.com/. Last safe version is 3.2.2

-place the file in your sdcard on your device. Do you know how to transfert file from your computer to your device?

-Once the file is somewhere in your sdcard, boot your device in recovery. Do you know how to do this? (rebbot, recovery when pressing power button).

-flash the file. In the recovery menu, >install zip from sdcard>choose zip from internal sdcard>select the .zip file you have downloaded.

It will flash the new Kernel.

-reboot

-check in the settings menu>about phone>kernel version. You should have now the Syiahkernel
