Please help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VAXXi:
If you click further on "Android System", it will tell you how much data was foreground data and how much it was background data. If you recently added your Google account, it's normal to have a lot of data transferred for the first sync.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beston94:
Well it could be as the person above stated. However, maybe you've set it up so it syncs every hour? or weather syncs every 30 mins? There could be a whole variety of things that could increase your data usage.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Below is a list of major usage difference, known issues or tricks.

I will do my best to keep it up to date and exhaustive, according to my own usage of my SGS2 device and what I can read on the forum.

Noteworthy differences

Syiah Kernel use its own touch CWM. You can move around with touchscreen or screen buttons. When you backup, restore or install zip from sd card, use INTERNAL SDCARD instead of SDCARD (the opposite of CM9 practice).

Most kernel settings are done with an app called EXTWEAKS. This is a free app from Android Play. You need to give root access to Apps under Settings > Developper options > Root acess to allow EXTWEAKS to operate the changes. Settings from Extweaks will override the ones from CM9, like CPU govenor and clock speed.

Flashing Syiah kernel will install many .syiah folders and config files on your device. If you want to get rid of them when back to CM9 default kernel, flash syiah-resetdefaultprofile.zip (link to the file on his website under SiyahKernel v3.0beta3 section). It is NOT mandatory, as CM9 will be fully functional with these config files, but it is best to keep your system as clean as possible.

Using this kernel in the correct way, enjoying all the fine tunings, is not so easy and need a bit of knowledge. IF you have no idea about how work your CPU and GPU, stick to the default configuration. Wrong settings will cause malfunction, lags, glitches and make scrolling jerky.

Since version 3.1b1, dual booting is enabled. All settings are done in the Syiah custom CWM. It allows you to choose at boot time between two ROMs

Teamhacksung has made a very hard work to port 4.2.1 to the SGS2, as they don't have any opensource drivers/kernel from Samsung.This build is still experimental.

2013/01/04

I am still on my old config with CM10 as I am not convinced CM and SyiahKernel are yet fully stable.

2013/02/28

I WILL NOT FOLLOW THIS THREAD ANYMORE .

CM 10.1 is totally broken on this device and there isn't even a stable release. Samsung broke things.

Gokham has some trouble building Kernels.
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
On a serious note now first of all great posts you have made here. You have one way a right to be here so people can talk about the development issues that they are facing with the kernels but on the other hand this has nothing to do with development and you are actually not developing anything. Thus this thread should be moved to General Section and not here.

Plus there are threads of were people can talk about what they are facing on the perspective threads of the kernels that they are using. But anyway best of luck.
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
While the thinking and intention are good,I think this thread would best be put in the General or Q&A section,as it isn't development.

Anyway,the threads are already too cluttered,that's a fact...
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Please, may a Mod move this thread to Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II General.

It has no reason to be under the development section.

Thank You

EDIT: Thread has been moved to a best place, as it is not mint to talk about development, but more of daily use.
[Galaxy S II General] rlorange:
This thread is a very good idea. Will be using it in the near future when I try cm9 again.
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
That's a good idea.

But gokhanmoral him self change his mind twice a day regarding the support of CM9.

So I m afraid your thread would have no sucess until he clearly stand that:

1) Siyah will support CM9

2) Siyah wil NOT support CM9
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
No need for you negativity. If you don't think it will work. Don't use the thread.

There is a need. Because people are using siyah on cm9. Whether they will continue, another persons guess, but why do you have to point out the negatives. Is it to prove your knowledge to the contrary? Well done!

Just say nice thread, or even better, nothing if you don't agree and let people get on with it.

1-I am not after sucess , just think there is a place for such a thread, being me or anyone else. If I am wrong, that's fine the thread will die by its lack of participation.

My main idea remains : how can you create a thread about a kernel while in the same time the father of that kernel say that he wont support CM9..or maybe he would?

It sounds crystal clear that your thread is like talking about Galaxy SIV when Galaxy SIII isnt here:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
well actually Gokhanmoral said so himself:

"kjetal advised me a nice and good build of cm9 and I hope to install it tomorrow. and I hope not to come back to a samsung rom in near future...

that's all for now. I have to go back to work"

And I'm pretty sure his signature says 'cm9 nightly' as well...
[Galaxy S II General] bleuxeon:
great news!

I simply hope he will not change his mind again.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Did you install Extweaks? If no, I would recommend.

Start to play a litle bit with CPU and GPU settings. Do not hesitate, it won't break your device. Just go step by step. You should quickly see some improvment.

[Galaxy S II General] gokhanmoral:
it is not quite true that I won't support CM9.

actually, I am thinking about using it as my primary rom.

but there are some facts now: I am using Samsung ROM, I cannot test anything about CM9 and I am very busy.

those facts make it impossible for me to support CM9 now.

when I install CM9, it will be harder to support Samsung ROM. that is why I want to finish dual-booting.

I tried ondemand (default), interactive and smartassV2 .

All lead to the same result, very laggy scrolling.

Scrolling lags decreased with beta5, but performance still is worse than the CM9 kernel by codeworkx.
[Galaxy S II General] brar.arsh:
I am also getting the same while flashing latest nightly, did change the dpi.. :(

dont know how to flash the new one..
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I do think there is nothing to do with your build.prop file. My 2 cents is that you are trying to flash a ROM not aimed at your device model.

Check you are installing the correct zip. Download it again in case it is corrupted.
[Galaxy S II General] brar.arsh:
Its the correct file.. All the issue is due to DPI CHANGE.. I am also looking for the same solution..
[Galaxy S II General] jack_frost:
My phone is a Galaxy S2 i9100 ! - the nightly mentions the same name .. unless CM team messed up the naming?(Which is Impossibru?!)

I guess my final question is - how can i go back to the stock CM9 kernel? - is there a place i can find just the kernel? None of the nightlies flash anymore, not the older ones (Including reflashing the one i am currently running 3003)and certainly not the new ones.
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
as i have posted in the other thread as well. if you are going to change dpi with an application your recovery will get messed up and you will get the errors that are shown in the above screen shot. to avoid having that happen always change dpi with rootexplorer.

to fix that either revert back to a restore nandroid (which people should always have) and then flash nightly and then either stay with stock kernel or change the density with rootexplorer and then flash whatever kernel you want and then problem solved.

by the way never go under 182 dpi as some applications will give you FC
[Galaxy S II General] jack_frost:
I Replaced the modified build.prop currently in use with the original from the Nightly (Untouched one) - the dpi is back to normal, but the newer nightly still gives the same error when i attempt a flash.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Happy ending!!

Guys, what about one of you writing a small and clean "How To" about your issue? I will then post it in |op|. I do think it can't deserve.
[Galaxy S II General] jack_frost:
No happy ending yet :S

Alas, i Have deleted my old nandriod backup with the cm9 kernel. The ones i have are not working :S

Any other way out?

I ask again : is there a way to flash the cm9 kernel seperately? if so, can u point me to a link?

Id like to return to Siyah once the latest nightly flashes succesfully - and i wont be using any more apps to change the density lol
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Gimme a few mn, will post a link with a flashable Kernel

Try this one. It is a CM9 Kernel with touch recovery

http://ul.to/9ofz5bab

Here is the 5.8.15 CWM touch recovery

http://ul.to/s0hek7ro
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Maybe you should read a litle bit more the |op|.

There is a link to kernel-cm-9-3.0.25-20120331-galaxys2.zip

Now, about your dpi change, here is what I do:

in /data, create a local.prop file.

Write this in it :

qemu.sf.lcd_density=YOUR DESIRED NUMBER
ro.sf.lcd_density=YOUR DESIRED NUMBER

Set correct permission

I see two advantages:

1-No need to edit the build.prop file. Not a good idea in general

2-your setting will stay even if you flash a new update.

It works perfectly with last numbers of SyiahKernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
agree with Gabx..if you guys want to change dpi do it the way he said above...you can also use rootexplorer and use text editor to edit those lines.

plus here is another cm9 stock kernel no touch and this one is by codeworkx version 3.0.26
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Thnak you for the link. Placed it in |OP|
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
Thank you, it worked perfectly, may I ask what you think the best values are please (least buggy, and not too small) I currently have it on 217?
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
sorry i know you quoted gabx but also when i was on cm9 the best dpi to have other than stock is 182. use that dpi value with apex launcher and you have a winner my friend.:) sorry hope you do not mind me posting that for you
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
Thank you, I'll give it a try now :-)

Edit: I really liked it :-)
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
No, your post is OK. The more users share their knowledges, settings and tweaks, the best is for all this community.

As for me, I use 200, and never went down to 182 dpi. I know some use this number, but in this case you need to modify some files in the ROM (see FordT posts in discussion thread). As I am lazy, and my eyes are 47 years old, it is not for me!
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
if you go below 182 then yes you need to modify files like phone.apk and calculator and calendar and what so ever. but anything from 182 and above you should be fine...plus if i am not mistaken he uses 160 which i think is very tiny :D
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
May I ask, do you know a way to fix the market please, almost everything says it is incompatible with my device? :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
I suggest you spend some bucks on the app called LCD density modder pro. It let's you change dpi easily and fix the market one and for always (at least I applied the trick almost a week ago and no issues, only major benefits and happiness). It also ha a temporary fix just in case. Very well done, I think it's a must for everyone using altered dpi!

Sent from my SGS2 - Powered by CM9
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
check in the cm9 thread. i posted a link to a market that fixes the dpi and posted also a guide on how to do it. just put in search market fix
[Galaxy S II General] jack_frost:
Update :

- Flashed the Cm9 kernel posted earlier, then proceeded to updating to Nightly 0403

- After updating the Nightly to 0403, i flashed the siyah kernel 3.0rc2

- Did not modify build.prop - instead made a local.prop file with dpi=182 (It worked)

- Then i tried flashing the Nightly 0404 - It gave the same error as earlier (Status 7)

- I flashed the CM9 kernel again and was only then able to update the Nightly
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Don't really know what's happening with you. I never experienced such issues. I would advise doing a CLEAN install, with a factory reset.

No need to flash CM9 0404 nightly, as the only change is about SOD default CM9 Kernel, which is not an issue for SyiahKernel users :-)

Hello ppl,

Firstly this is a great post as Siyah kernel and CM9 are very popular so alot of people are porbbly using them and I'm probably gonna be one of them after I flash Siyah. So thanks for the thread.

I'm currently on CM9 and I want to enhance my battery. The current battery consumption for me seems to be very close to what I had when I was on 2.3.5 GB XXKJ2.

I have a question,

With Siyah kernel will I be able to significantly optimize both battery and performance?

My comparison is with my other phone (galaxy nexus) iv combined AOKP with Lean Kernel and I'm amazed with its battery and performance (the battery stays for 2 days)

Thanks.

I can't make calls with Skype using Siyah. Before signing in it says that my device is not compatible with skype but it'll try and place calls anyway. So, the front person can hear me but I can't hear them. I've tried calling different contacts and also the voice testing/echo service in Skype and I can't hear anything other than the phone ring. Now this is quite weird, I don't know how Siyah has got anything to do with Skype but i know it is the cause. I flashed Siyah on cm9 and tried skype, it didn't happen. Then I flashed the default kernel and it worked fine. I flashed siyah again but same results. Has happened with B7, RC2 and RC3 because by far these are the only ones that I have tried.
