USB OTG not working

Hello,

First I should say I am very happy with Gokhanmoral's outstanding work. Thanks a lot!!

I just flashed yesterday Siyah-v3.0b6-CWM kernel + CM9 ROM (update-cm-9-20120322-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip). I noticed that USB HID devices (like mouse, keyboard or other custom USB devices) are not working anymore. They are not listed when I run the terminal command "lsusb", so I believe they are not recognized.

This was a known issue caused when Samsung introduced whitelists for the USB OTG support.

I was using Siyah-v2.5.2-CWM kernel + Android 2.3.5 and the USB devices were recognized correctly. I think the compilation modifications for USB OTG were not included in the last release. I have not been able to post in the developers area this issue. Can someone post this message so that Gokhanmoral can received this feedback?

regards,

Saul

Would really like to get Siyah working on my phone but I still get just a black screen in every build. I'm thinking my problems stem back to still having a GB boot loader. Going to try flashing the ICS boot loader included in the cm9 thread via Odin tonight and report back.
[Galaxy S II General] NOMIOMI:
in siyah kernel there is dual boot option will some guide me that how use two rom

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
did u change the DPI in cm9?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
It is turning on for me when i have notification. Not flashing then. No BLN installed
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Not yet implemented. Gockham is working on it and will need time.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Please try to be precise. Do you have first a working CM9? Then did you change dpi. It is mentioned in first post it will not boot with lower dpi
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
He did suscribed to this thread, so he will maybe see it.
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
i just want the backlight to on when i am using the fone with or without BLN control installed. but now it is not working at all.. wonder what causes the problem.

FM radio

how can i make FM radio work as you said in OP...i tried with 0322 and siyak v3b6 with no success...

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
Using Siyah beta6 with http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24009358&postcount=16310 build of CM9, everything works as it should. Apart from the usual bugs.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I don't listen radio. I downloaded randomly two apps from Play market, and was able to listen radio.

What did you tried? Did you download any app?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
|OP| has been updated.

Now running 0325 CM9 build with v3.0 beta6.

Still dpi + BLN issues

CM9 0324 build has some issues.

I do not use Codeworkx test builds, as working modifications are therafter merged in the mainstream Cyanogenmod nightly build.
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
I have noticed something weird and I realy don't know if its CM9 or Siyah related :

at least 3 of my apps (namely : Antutu, OpenSignal maps, Speed Test) are not realy closed when you exit them.

I know that Android keep in cache apps that were previously launched and that it's a normal behavior.

But the problem here is that exited apps continue to use CPU ressources!

I use System Tuner task manager to show me real time CPU charge per apps and it cleary shows CPU activity for those closed apps.

Something is also strange Speed Test and OpenSignal maps use both the GPS.

After closing them the GPS sometime remains active!:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
I posted it also in Siyah thread, I hope GM will read it there.
[Galaxy S II General] czesiu:
how do you exit these apps?
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
When the app have it : menu/exit

When it doesnt : back button.

Both way gives same result :the closed app still consume CPU.
[Galaxy S II General] czesiu:
menu/exit certainly should work (back only if you know that it closed the process with older ROMs)

Many apps can auto start on various activities, also widgets could keep them active
[Galaxy S II General] noobsgs2:
Anyone tried insanity+siyah? since it's a cm9 based rom..
[Galaxy S II General] zekurosu:
currently using voltage control extreme app with siyah b6 ... will let u all know whether i can achieve better battery performance with it or not :D
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
Just a suggestion but this might be handy for users if added to the op.

[Galaxy S II General] TheV:
Which apps did you try? Are you sure it was actually FM Radio and not in fact Internet Radio (streaming)?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
You maybe right indeed! As told, I don't listen radio. Let's try FM radio so. Got any app name I can try??

I just tried now Jazz FM radio and Capital FM. Both played well on my device. But not sure they are not digitally imported.
[Galaxy S II General] TheV:
A quick look at those apps seem to indicate that they are both streaming.

I don't listen to radio either, so I don't have any personal recommendations, although doing a search for FM Radio the following 2 apps seem to be actual FM as opposed to streaming:

FM Radio

Spirit FM Free
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Spirit FM ==> can't download: no download button on Play app

FM radio ==> Headset needed and I don't have any headset !

If anyone has another FM radio app to try, I can.
[Galaxy S II General] TheV:
As far as I understand any real FM app will require a headset to be connected considering it uses it as an antenna (normal headphones should also function as an antenna)
[Galaxy S II General] benc88:
Lets get this on a roll then!

Okay just to confirm on official nightly build wiht cm9 kernel, downloaded fm radio from play and put headphone in when loading app. It never gets past fm radio is being launched, please wait. not a hang or crash.

It is unfortunately the same story after flashing siyahs latest b6.

Some good new though, Siyah has fixed multi dpi on cm9 in his b7 kernel, yet unreleased.:D
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
OK, now we know !!

Thank you for sharing your experience. There are so many misinformations going around, it is sometimes very difficult to really know the truth.

He he, it will be your first "Thanks" !!!
[Galaxy S II General] benc88:
Also Gok has removed liblights copying so may help with the fact Notification lights don't work. Back and menu buttons lightened randomly when using BLN app. This is yet under investigation.

Removed autocopying of liblights for CM9 and clones. I will provide separate lights library for those ROMs
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
Anyone else experienced any gps problems ?

I tried Google Maps and couldn't establish a gps connection.

I really don't know what can cause it so i'm really grateful for every tip. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] pnevroq:
Got the same. GPS started working, searching, only after google maps were actually turned off.

Trying to figure out this issue now.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
There is a patch on the following link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447599

Push the zip file to your sdcard, reboot in recovery and flash. Wipe calche/dalvik cache.

As for me, I can get GPS on Mapps only if I enable "Google's location service" AND "GPS satellites" in the settings menu > Location services.

Not sure if it is what users say when they state GPS is working ! But when I check only "GPS satellites", Mapps won't let me see my position. Or maybe did I not wait enough, as it is usually said the first try needs 15-20 mn to fix the satellite!!
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
Thanks for the link. I downloaded the Google Specific v3.1 build and tried to flash the zip file trough CWR but i always get a error during installing.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
ah. I downloaded same, and it flash without problem.

What error message do you have in recovery ?
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
just

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Try another download, just in case your file is corrupted.

128.32 K should be the size.

Or can you try this other patch (I think it is the one I am using):

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
so good! You won't be lost anymore, being able to find where you are!!
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
yes and people who try to track me got it now easier, too. :D
[Galaxy S II General] czesiu:
just a note

these recently mentioned GPS fixing downloads are 2 completely different files
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I know, as there have been two patches going around. As far as I could understand, both are working.

I flashed the second one, named "GPS_patch_CM9.zip".
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
If i update the nightly version do i have to flash the gps fix again ?
[Galaxy S II General] benc88:
B6 breaks youtube???

Hi I have noticed since flashing siyahs b6 that youtube now doesnt work, the app works but the connection to internet via 3g or wifi is buggered.

so in light of this is there a mirror to latest cm9 kernel?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
just flash cm9 again and u will have the orginal cm-kernel
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
YES

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
It shall work.
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
Yes finally ! Now i can bother the developer with stupid questions and complaining :p

But i really like this thread so i will continue asking you stupid questions, too. ;)

Btw i just flashed the latest nightly and siyah beta 7 everything works great so far.

Nice fast boot :)

I haven't tested the gps, but i will when i'm outside later.

scrolling not smooth at all ... changing to other governors combination still doesnt do much ...
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Here are some of my settings. Everything is smooth, fast and battery friendly. I only use Extweaks, as I do think using too many apps will lead to bad settings as I am not an expert.

Governor: Lulzactive

I/O Scheduler : noop

Second core is enabled above 60% load

Second core is disabled below 35% load

Min freq for second core to be turned on : 600 000 KHZ

CPU Step count : 6 (100 Mhz is not a good idea with ICS)

CPU Smooth Scaling : 3,3,2

GPU Freq step : 100, 160, 200 MHz

GPU Volatage levels : 850,900,900 mV

GPU Thresholds : 80, 40,85,50 %

GPU StayCount : 1,1,0 sec

TouchMove sensitivity : 2 pix

charge current : 650 mA

disabled Auto-install Root and Android Logger

Hope it can help to get nice scrolling and long battery life
[Galaxy S II General] luke05dee:
I have good scrolling in cm9 with these setting:

•Governor: Ondemand

[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Glad it helped.
[Galaxy S II General] chudm:
which settings do you recommend for a good scrolling + good battery? should i stay at the "stock" settings of siyah for ondemand?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I only recommand to keep things simple first, then go step by step and see how your device runs.

I am not a tweak boy, and not so anxious about battery life. You will find posts with much better settings than mine.

The settings in the post above are the one I use, for very classic use of my device: internet (browser+tapatalk), text message, call. You can start with these settings, and play with them.
[Galaxy S II General] chudm:
will try those, thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
Hey thanks for those settings i'm using them now 24 hours and everything runs smooth with good battery life :)

How about load_h0 i changed mine to 75% in order to use the second core less ? i guess :D

By the way i just received my 2000mAh battery with the old one i battery 2.5 days with my usage i hope now to get 3. ;) (nightly 20120326, Siyah-v3.0b7)

So i can't wait for the first stable versions to get the max out of the battery performance, in my opinion a very important aspect about smartphones

my load_h0 is 80 like what has been implemented in speed mod kernel for gb last time :D

[Galaxy S II General] TecQuality:
sounds interesting, but why you didn't use voltage control too?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
You won't find here any test with the leak 0328. It is not a leak, it is a theft from Cyanogenmod Jaskins buildbot. I don't agree with such behavior from certain users, as they may break the build machine when downloading too much.

I am NOT running this 0328 build.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I am not certain about cross effects between all these apps. I don't know how they edit their settings, and I suspect that some config files from one app could be overwriten by files form another one.

So in case of ignorance, I prefer to stick to only Extweaks. It does all what I need
[Galaxy S II General] ItchyTrigger:
I'm using Extweaks and Voltage Control and it works totally fine together. :)

I guess one of the reasons why it runs good together is because it's from the same developer. (xan)

I use voltage control to set my frequency from 200Mhz to 800Mhz and for undervolting.

If someone is interested here are my settings:

1200Mhz -1275mV

1000Mhz -1100mV

800Mhz - 975mV

500Mhz - 925mV (but i would recommend 950mV)

200Mhz - 850mV

I hope everybody knows that every cpu is different and there is no guarantee that my settings will work with your device, but it would be nice to compare some settings ;)
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Good to know.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Please use a text file as attachment when posting long file, or use the BBC code.

I am not an expert, but I can easily says there is some process going into a loop !!

Try to figure out what it can be. Maybe did you installed a new app? Try to stop/clear data from the suspicious apps.

Then, a factory reset can help.
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
If anyone is interested my cpu voltages are:

1600mhz ->1375mV(used to be able to get to 1350 in gb, sadly not anymore in 4.0)

1400mhz ->1250mV (This is normal my max frequency & currently testing 1225mV)

1200mhz ->1125mV

1000mhz ->1050mV

800mhz -> 975mV

500mhz -> 925mV

200mhz -> 850mV

GPU

200mhz -> 900mV

267mhz -> 950mV (Thanks luke05dee :D)

Nice and stable + I can play Gamelofts Backstab without burning my hands anymore :D

Edit: Just used the stability test app, on standard cpu test with 1.4ghz at 1225mV for 6 minuets without any problems, so I think I will test it out for a couple more days, but it looks like 1225mV for 1.4ghz appears stable :)

How did it go mate? :)
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Back to 1000 after a few hours. No so sure, but I felt like scrolling was not so good.

HI - searched fairly high and low for a solution to an ongoing problem I'm having. Siyah B7 working great for me with the exception of one annoying problem - I still cannot flash update ZIP files in the Siyah custom CWM! Only way I can get around this is by advance restoring the /boot partition from a CM9 default kernel ROM which of course reverts me to the original non-custom CWM. Had this problem today in flashing Codeworkx's camera patch ZIP file. Any help is appreciated!
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
With this Kernel, and when in its special CWM recovery,you have to select "Choose zip from internal sdcard, and NOT from sdcard.

Do you select the correct parh to your zip file?
[Galaxy S II General] kitecarl:
Yes, chose to flash zip from internal. My problem crops up not with choosing a file but after that when attempting to flash.

Why doesn't the Thunderbolt script work on this kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I see, and I see too I have no idea about your issue. Never had such neither saw it on Forum.

If I understan correctly, in your case, it is just the custom CWM which doesn't work.

If you feel good with it, exctract from the Kernel the initramfs files, and have a look on them. Maybe you will find answers.

Cant update Nightly after Kernel update

Hi , I have tried to look for an answer to this - but either the answer is not out there (low probability) or i am simply not searching in the right place. Having spent an hour now - just want to know - i am currently using the CM9 nightly for 30th march, trying to upgrade to the latest one, but i get a status 7 installation aborted.

1) Is there a way to make the upgrade with the siyah kernel?

2) How can i go back to the original kernel without a factory reset?

3) is there a kernel zip / link someone can point me to?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
1- YES. Flashing SyiahKernel is trivial. Place the file in your sdcard. Boot into recovery > install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > flash

2-no need of factory reset. Just flash again CM9, and you will get the default Kernel

3-Which kernel link? Syiah link is in the |OP|, and CM9 kernel is part of the ROM
