Different kernels provide different features and tweaks. Also, for some reason, I am unable to flash DSPManager with the stock kernel, but I can with Siyah. So, with the current state of Siyah, I backup the stock kernel, flash Siyah, then DSPManager, then restore the stock kernel.

When you use the stock kernel do your backlights for the softkeys work?

And also the black version of SWYPE included previously, does it work for you?

Both of those only work for me when using an alternate kernel (such as Fluxii)...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
Backlight for softkeys work fine. Go to settings > device options > screen> scroll to bottom and make sure enable keys backlight is checked and set the backlight timeout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jrod091:
Backlights work for me on stock kernel, but it takes a couple days for it to settle in correctly after a new flash, weird, I know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MashBill:
My backlights are glitchy on the stock kernel. If I reboot, they work for a while but they always quit eventually. This is after a full wipe.

I don't use my back light keys, as all they really do is make the buttons look pretty. Yay for pretty buttons! Hehe. It's not like I can't find em in the dark or anything. Maybe some people forget which buttons are which I suppose. Meh. I just think it's an extra drain on the battery.

I haven't done a full wipe since coming to this rom back in August. Wipe Cache, dalvik, kernel cleaning script, install rom, install gapps. So ya I do all this manually and have never done OTA. This allows me to do a backup as well.

check the dates dude... those were merged on the release of 10/2... not changes to this release. unless they were made in the same day after he released, which I doubt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
The changes in the Changelog stay changes in the rom. They don't get removed after their initial launch. That wouldnt make sense!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DSTG:
Volume boost for aux cable in car. I haven't found any that work well with cm kernel. DSP sort of works, but sounds like butthole. Siyah allows boost with extweaks, and even better results with voodoo louder. Voodoo louder claims its compatible when it does the check, but it has no effect... anyway, that's my reason. plus Pandora did odd stuff when I was on 10/2. Between that, and the volume issue, it was a no go for me. So, Iwent back to 9/28 for the time being, and why I asked if this 10/5 release is compatible with other kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justflorin:
I also I'm curious if this works with other kernels because in the 10/2 update he said it does not work with other kernels...just curious
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DSTG:
Think about what you're saying.... I'll color code it for you... If something was made blue in 10/2 that made it not get along with orange.... and in 10/5, that same blue was kept, and not removed...then in 10/5, it still wouldn't get along with orange. However, if Mister purple the Mediaiting Plum (some change that bridged the gap) came into the picture, then the new guy Billy Blue and Oscar Orange, who's been around long before 10/2, can learn to get along....

So... that being said.... without a bridge/link/adapter/mod, if the changes applied on 10/2 which brought up the whole kernel issue to begin with, were kept the same...then compatibility with other kernels is still a no-go. It would seem I answered my own initial quesiton however, not being horribly familiar with all the verbage used in the changelog, I'm not sure if any of those things listed from oct-3 to 0ct-5, adress the issue, so my question still stands. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DSTG:
Lmfao, I'm fine. It's kind of a gray area whether it's a rom question or strictly kernel. The warning about the kernel used is absent in changelog that was there in the rom post. He is right on simply trying it and finding out... I'd imagine at worst a soft brick?

Not even a soft brick. You can easily boot into CWM

Has any one noticed updating rom on existing rom, takes about additional 200 mb approx. from sdcard.

I have been flashing task's roms without full wipe for last 5 or 6 updates and every time I flash, my sdcard space reduces. About 1gb space is now used and I don't have any idea of what is filling it.

I suppose, I have to full wipe to get that on track.

Found out the clockworkmod > blobs folder is eating up space. It is deduping all the files used in backups.

Supposedly it is supposed to free up space if you delete the old backups automatically next time you run a backup. ???

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 78Staff:
Everybody has specific reasons - some like to dual boot thus switch to Siyah, some change for certain app compatability, etc.

For me, I typically would change to fluxxi, both on previous ICS versions and on "up to 10/02" JB for two basic reasons, BLN and battery life. Fluxxi enables BLN, and provided noticeably better battery life than the stock kernel.

Now, that being said, the 10/2 and later stock kernel & mali libs is giving me excellent battery life, :good: so while there is still no BLN I am trying NoLED as a replacement.

May I suggest that you also add known bugs to your FAQ post. So that people don't ask how to fix that.

e.g. media volume quietens, when jack plugged in, after a notification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sremick:
Yes, but this is an entirely separate issue than what was stated. The dangers of restoring system apps between Android versions has always been the case and predates ICS and even GB. The question was: can you restore data from GB to ICS? The answer is "yes". The question was not, "does the issue restoring system data still exist with ICS?"

TB is unfairly being made the scapegoat for countless unrelated issues. While it might be convenient to blow off anyone with a problem who's using TB by blaming TB like it's some universal evil and the cause of all ills, I don't think that's fair to TB or the users legitimately trying to troubleshoot a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
