i guess i didnt express myself correctly. as mentioned before im new in these things and still dont know much about them. its better if i send you a video of what i did. i did exactly the same as this guy in the video: How to Root Galaxy S2 i9100! [ICS][Android 4.0+]

and thats all...nothing else. now...what should i do to have that CM9 on my phone?

this thing is driving me crazy :S
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You should follow the instructions here:

[Galaxy S II General] TediTamo:
and do the noob thing?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Be honest, you like being driven crazy, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. We all like being mad trying to make things work and repair broken systems, right?? It is the joy of all this tech stuff.

So take your time, breath, google and read. And my advice : stop watching Youtube video, unless you stick to music. Solid explanations are written.

I am sure you will finally run CM9 on your device, and be proud of it!!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Exactomundo. :)

Gabx has written good advice above, read and follow it then you shouldn't have any issues.
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
i think i'm going to give siyah kernel one last chance, it's 2 days that, during night, my phone completely drains the battery in aeroplane mode, i'll probably run the cleanup script in first page and reflash 12/06 CM9 then test it, if things don't change i'll probably switch to fluxi kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
weird. I put my device too in airplane mod between 11:00 and 6:00. (with setting profiles) and no battery drain at all. In fact, 0% battery usage for this period.

Did you check BetterBattery Stats for wakelocks, running processes?
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Unfortunately no, bought the app this morning, anyway i read in Siyah thread that there's some bug with usb/mtp switch that keeps the phone wake. Now i switched to mtp and the phone seems to behaved normally.

Anyway everything happened 2 days ago after flashing cm9 14/06, thought there was some problem with that rom and flashed back 12/06, but that rom change probably triggered some "land mine" :D
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
OK. TY for the info. You maybe right, could be some issue with CM9. I am still on 0611.

Will have a look a changelogs.
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Found the culprit, it's a wifi problem, somethings keeps the wifi awake even after is turned off.
[Galaxy S II General] torchedlh:
Not sure if this is related to siyah kernel or not but i've never been able to adjust the custom backlight levels. Everytime i do so, they never save...is there a fix for this? Anyway to manually adjust the levels (where are the values stored?)?

EDIT: Solved the issue/found a workaround. I increased the number of custom light levels and then since then it's saved all the changes i've made!
[Galaxy S II General] juz4:
I'd like to know if there is a proper solution to this as well. I am currently using Lux Auto Brightness which gets around the issue.
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Seems like i got rid of that battery drain problem, last sunday i removed Amazon official app, flashed the kernel cleaner script and flashed back Siyah 3.3.2 kernel, seems it did the trick :p

Anyway, today i read that old 3.2.7.2 kernel is still the best, battery wise, maybe i'll give it a go.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Did you read that v3.2.7.1 is better than v3.2.7.2? :p
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
well i read that both 3.2.7.2 and 3.2.7.1 are good, can't seem to find a post that states which one is the best thou :P
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
3.2.7.1 because it doesn't included any experimental stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I flashed yesterday 0619 Cm9 with no issue.

Everything is under control, and honestly, hard to find a lot to say. All is smooth.

Nightly build 0626 is now same as CM9 Galaxy RC1.

The code is now frozen for the Release candidate. If you want keep installing new stuffs, bear with the Nightly builds.

The bad thing about the RC1, the camera is not focus where I touch.

i love Siyah kernel and tried to find out how can install cm9 without replacing always siyah kernel.

is there no way to avoid flashing siyah kernel again everytime after cm9 ?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Its not something difficult mate, I just flash it straight after flashing a new nightly. Before rebooting.

... typed by a proud owner of HTC One X 32GB, the best HTC Android device so far!!
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
way too difficult, and the time you will spend repacking the zip folder. rewriting the install script with correct syntax are not worth.

flash CM9+flash Syiah. Nothing else, and flashing the Kernel is near 1 mn !!

Are you so lazy???
[Galaxy S II General] Skully☺:
Redirected from CM9 nightly discussion thread: CM9 - MX video player problem

Quoted from the CM9 nightly thread:

Have you tried MoboPlayer? In my case (CM9 nightly june 28th & Siyah 3.2.2) it plays avi files.

Have you deinstalled MX player with the associated ARM files and then reinstalled them? This might work.

Otherwise: reboot to Recovery, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, reflash CM9, reflash Siyah kernel, reboot. Sometimes when apps were unstable this helped in my case.
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
Hey, congratulations on the One X.

Do I need to install one of those " Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script" before installing the latest CyanogenMod9?

Or is safe to install first the CyanogenMod9 zip and then the SiyahKernel zip without cleaning the kernel configuration?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
What ROM did you use before? If stock Samsung one, no need. If custom one, with scripts, yes, it is a good idea to run the script.

BTW, running the script is good in any case. It will NOT do harm to your device, just be useless at worst.
[Galaxy S II General] ___tex___:
Hi gabx,

thx a lot for the usefull thread! :good:

Do you still use this configuration?

"##My current configuration : CM9 Nightly 0625 + SyiahKernel 3.3.2+Dual boot B2G##"

Or you have moved to a newer cm9 build?
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
Any comments on the latest nightly and SiyahKernel 3.3.3b?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Just upgraded to nightly 0710 and syiahkernel 3.3.3.c with no issues at all.

The new kernel let you use the Thunderbiolt script, so increasing UI responsiveness.

Can u guys help me understand one thing. I am on cm9 on my SIII device and i want to flash the Siyah Kernel to get NTFS support, can i just flash the siyah over cm9? will it delete anything?
[Galaxy S II General] Kevin433:
Just flash it, it will just overwrite the original CM9 kernel, though I'm not sure if the sensors are working then. It depends on which CM9 nightly you are using. If it's the newest one (cm-9-20120711-NIGHTLY-galaxys2), I would rather wait for an updated version of the Siyah kernel, however, I'm not really sure if it will break anything.
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
If you have a Samsung Galaxy S3, you are in the wrong forum.

Don't use this releases.
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
Using the 20120711 and SiyahKernel 3.3.3c. Working great for now.
[Galaxy S II General] amo13:
Yes i know this thread is for s2 and i have a SIII but i just fumbled around and i found a thread with exactly what i was wondering but for the SII so i just thought i could make a fast question for my SIII here. So i have an SIII with cm9 and i can just download the latest Siyah Kernel and flash it over my cm9 without deleting anything and it just works?
[Galaxy S II General] amo13:
Hey guys im sorry if i post in the wrong place but can you please just answer one question and im done. I have rooted my S3 with CF-Root and installed CM9 over it. Now i want to install Siyah Kernel. I tested today to put the Siyah CWM zip file on my phone and flashed it but i dont get NTFS support and i cannot get exTweaks to work. Do i have to Install Siyah Kernel over Odin and do i have to Restore my phone before that?

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I don't see why not.

So far very SiyahKernel S2 has worked perfectly fine with CM9.

It's always good to do a nandroid backup before trying, just in case.

[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
The developer says that this new version wasn't tested on CyanogenMod.

I don't know why will not work... :O
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes I know.

That's because he doesn't use the S2 anymore, that belong to his wife now. So he can't go flashing all the ROMS he wants just to test the kernel.

Doesn't mean it's not going to work.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

An important reminder - don't use ROM Manager to do anything from the recovery menu if you have a Siyah kernel. At best it won't work, at worst it will stuff your phone up! :mad:

I forgot when downloading the latest CM9 nightly from ROM Manager (which is perfectly fine) and not cancelling the installation (which isn't). ROM Manager tried to boot into recovery to do the nandroid backup and failed to boot. This left my phone unable to boot CM9 or recovery. Happily I could still get to download mode so I flashed the CM9 Resurrection Edition (http://codeworkx.de/download/cyanogenmod/galaxys2/cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5) with Odin. I still had to install the CM9 nightly then restore all my apps and data, which was a pita that I could have avoided. :o
[Galaxy S II General] AntonioTrindade:
I also found out this the hard way... But I flashed an official firmware with Odin, then CF-Root and only then I reapplied CM9 and Siyah... Fortunately, my /data partition was unchanged...
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Good point. I got the same issue and forgot ROM manager. At best, download the Nightly, but never let ROM manager to keep installing.

You can do all from your device with Chrome, using the getcm page http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2 and syiahkernel optimized page for mobile device to download the new kernel.

Same here..No issues. Just do a shutdown and restart the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Did not happen always. Will have a look then again to 4.1 when charging, watching CPU.

TY.

EDIT: You are right guys. Spy CPU show frequency stays low (200 for me). I had a few times a hot phone, and read some users complaining with Syiahkernel 4 about this effect.

Removed my entry from OP and back again to 4.1!
[Galaxy S II General] Happy_Jack:
Of course the advantage that ROM Manager does have over a direct download is that you can see other people's ratings and comments before you download something.
[Galaxy S II General] pepemosca:
To add more to the discussion... Version 3.5 is out:

http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
[Galaxy S II General] Skully☺:
Had the same problem: a reboot didn't help, but flashing the Samsung Ultimate kernel Cleaning Script solved it.

Now running v3.5.2.

Edit: It actually is resetting the Extweaks profiles in Recovery that does the trick, not the cleaning script. Locked CPU speed at 1200MHz happens a couple of times per week, somitimes causing my phone to overheat to 52 degrees Celcius.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
After flashing 4.5.2, it took me just a few minutes to install CM10 experimental as second ROM. I will keep this dual boot configuration until I decide to go fully CM10.

Following instructions, this is a very easy job to flash CM10 as second ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
How did you do your install?

Dual-boot or flashed CM10 over CM9?

Did you FIRST flashed last Syiahkernel?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
flashed CM10 experimental 20120806 as second ROM. Will now stay on CM10 for a few days and see how it works.

installed Extweaks from Play and used all my CM9 settings with no issue.

flashed Siyahkernel 4.0

I decided to stay for a while on CM10 and boot on it as second ROM. As far as I can see, this experimental build is quite mature and could be used as a daily.

TMP is the only transfer mode. You still can force Mass Storage from Extweaks.

If anyone needs a How-To to set up MTP in Linux, please ask, I will write one
[Galaxy S II General] sam87:
breaks mtp on cm10

Siyah breaks mtp for me and i have to use the UMS.apk that i got somewhere on the forums. any other kernel that doesnt break mtp? sorry if this has been asked already
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Which OS ? If windows, I can't help.

If you have Extweaks installed, under the MISC menu you can choose in the USB Mas Storage Mode sub menu between Mass Storarge or MTP. Have you tried?
[Galaxy S II General] sam87:
Yea I tried that when I got home last night, I'm on cm10, still no mtp. I'm using Mac os x btw
[Galaxy S II General] ii7Stryker:
So guys is the version 4.0 stable? Anyone facing any issues with it ?
[Galaxy S II General] Gotcha007:
I'm running 4.1 Alpha 1 and no issues at this moment. Working great ! :good:

So you can go for sure for the stable version
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
As stated in |OP|, Jellybean is working fine with Syiahkernel. You can first try it when dual booting if you want to test.
[Galaxy S II General] ii7Stryker:
I am on CM9, will go straight to cm10 (don't want to dual boot). So does updating kernel needs any cache wipes? This will be my first kernel update :), before I usually used to change the kernels with roms only .
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
if I correctly understand, you are running CM9 with SiyahKernel, right?

So now:

Copy GApps and CM10 ZIPs to your internal SDCard

Copy last Siyahkernel to your SDCard

go in recovery mod

backup your current ROM

format 2nd ROM

Flash CM10 zip from internal SDCard

Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard

DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (you may try without, but could lead to some issues)

flash last Siyahkernel

reboot
[Galaxy S II General] ii7Stryker:
Sorry that you miss understood, actually I only wrote that when upgrading to cm10 I will install it directly, not that I am upgrading now :p. I will wait for some more feedback of issues and there issues and then will make the jump :).

At present I was asking about stability of latest Siyah on cm9.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
My english let me to misunderstand sometimes!

You can use safely latest Siyahkernel with CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
flashed Syiahkernel 4.1beta4

flashed CM10 experimental 20120809 as second ROM. Will now stay on CM10 for a few days and see how it works.

The only issue I am experiencing is that I do not see in my second ROM CM10 all the app I bought on Play store.

If some user has an idea why these apps are not listed in Play store in CM10, you are welcome.
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
Changing DPI? I can't think of any other reason

Or maybe outdated gapps
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Thanks, but neither. I use 240 dpi on CM10, and used lats JB Gapps.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
flashed CM9 nightly 0814.

Still dual booting with CM10 and running CM9 as daily with Siyahkernel. No issues at all.
[Galaxy S II General] moegrave:
So I followed the steps and got me a dual boot CM9 and CM10 with the latest stable Siyah kernel ver.4.0.1. First off thanks for all the info, it was extremely helpful.

I only see to be facing two issues, which are not major, but are kind of annoying.

One is that when I install CM10 as a second Rom it switches my device ID which results in incompatibility in Play Store. What I mean is after installing CM10 as a second Rom, logging in with the same Google account it will result in some apps not being able to be downloaded from Play Store on main Rom CM9. Maybe work around is using different Google accounts on both Roms...

Second issue is that installing some apps on both Roms makes them unavailable on one of them, one such app was Aldiko Books 2.x

Any advice is welcome and thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I would be happy to have the answer too, as I am experiencing the same issue, and couldn't find a work around.

I even tried to install CM10 as my first ROM, but didn't see the apps I paid from Play store.
[Galaxy S II General] SverreMV:
When I first started Titanium Backup in CM10 (as second rom), I was asked if I wanted to restore my previous device ID. I answered Yes, needed to reboot, and everything worked like a charm after that. I didn't have to restore anything, all I had to do was to start Titanium. I did have all my user apps + data backup up.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Good, I will then have a look. TY for your hint.
[Galaxy S II General] Happy_Jack:
If you can't find them at all in the Play Store it may be because it tries to hide apps that aren't compatible with your phone:

http://developer.android.com/guide/google/play/filters.html

Try accessing any missing apps through the Google Play web site - it will tell you if they are compatible or not:

https://play.google.com/apps

If you can find them in the Play Store but they just don't appear in the list of installed or purchased apps then take a look at these links:

http://www.androidpipe.com/get-back-your-list-of-purchased-apps-on-the-play-store-download/

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
2012/08/22

flashed CM9 nightly 0821. Still dual booting with CM10 and running CM9 as daily.

flashed Siyah S2-v4.1rc1. Extweaks settings will be reset

Still unable to see my paid apps in Play store.

The app issue seems due to the change to CM10, as my device is NOT recognized.
[Galaxy S II General] Skully☺:
I tried CM10 (the first nightly) a couple of weeks ago, but went back to CM9 because for me it was not yet usable as a daily ROM.

I couldn't reinstall from my PC the backups I made in CM9 with APK batch Installer tool (an older version than the current). I don't recall all of the details, but I think I had some trouble with the MTP connection.

However, the apk backups I made with App Backup & Restore gave no problem when installing them in CM10. If I recall correctly the unlocker apk of my paid app (PowerAmp) was installed as well.

So even if the Play Store doesn't show them (yet), maybe you could try to restore your paid apps with App Backup & Restore?

Note that App Backup & Restore doesn't restore apk's that are protected. It then redirects you to the Play Store. You could test this with the Corticonverter app.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Thank you for your info, I will have a look.

I usually don't like using any backup app when moving from one big version of CM (7,9,10) to another one. Best is usuaaly to do a clean install, which is not possible on your second rom.

I am waiting for CM10 to improve, and then will do a clean install.

How good the CM9 from the 20120819 works with the Siyah 4.1.1?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
As for CM9 0819, I still run 0814. But I flashed 4.1.1 and it is working perfectly.

There is a fourth GPU step now in Syiahkernel, so your Extweaks settings will be reset.

I mostly keep default configuration, but changed the following ones:

-CFS Tweaks : Thunderbold

-CPU undervolting : -50

GPU voltages : 800,850,900,950

-Touchmove sensitivity : 2 pixel

-enable BLN
