OP Updated

Second Release TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new version below is for the MALI based CM10 and AOKP ROMs. There is no B for ICS since you guys didnt have video issues. So lets keep the "wheres the "B" for ICS" post under 65 please, lol :D

Download v4.3.1B - CM10/AOKP MALI - CWM Flashable

WITH mic swap

Ktoonsez, you are the man! Dude, this is painful, but funny. As we've been conditioned by the many beat-downs in these threads to do much of our own troubleshooting and wipe, full wipe, and wipe again, I spent the better part of the Packers game trying to figure out why YouTube videos wouldn't play! :P Oh well, at least I have a new "fresh" install again. I reflashed twice after formatting system. Reinstalled YouTube several times. Checked all settings. Reinstalled Aroma Gapps, inverted and normal...glad this is resolved as I was out of ideas! :banghead: Thanks a ton for your quick fix, bro.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
@ Arcen1k - I had a nandroid, but I had installed the new kernel, just put the new spiderman theme on, and hadn't used the YouTube app in ages. I wasn't sure when it stopped working. No videos played with dolphin browser but did with stock browser. Too many oddities to single out. It didn't occur to me it could be the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Arcen1k:
Welp, works now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Thanks it does work for sure. I had a weird issue the first time I flashed the 4.1.3b though. I flashed it and everything came up and booted but I got a system error hit OK message. I hit OK and it seemed fine. I immediately opened up youtube and it started playing so I thought GREAT! then the phone rebooted itself. I went back to recovery and flashed it a second time and so far so good. Maybe it was JUST A FLUKE or maybe I didn't clear dalvich cache before flashing it (though I thought I did) but I thought I would mention it in case anyone else sees the same issue.

Thanks for the QUICK support...

Hi. Yes, I've tried both Siyah-v4.3-ICS-mswap.zip and Siyah-v4.3.1-ICS-mswap.zip with a clean kernel using the kernel clean script. I'm running CM 9 Sept 16th nighty. I keep having to go back to 4.1.6 since is the only version not locking up my phone or causing it to freeze while phone being idle. Any suggestions or Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Arcen1k:
4.3.1B?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Honestly this is one of the most useless features (I didn't even notice), IMO, considering how much work Ktoonsez did to get a working version of Siyah + Mali, shouldn't you just enjoy using your phone, with all the great features instead of worrying about a screen off animation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ugoff:
What kind of justification is that? It works well enough, so leave it? If we all had that mentality, these forum wouldn't even be here. I reported, and asked a question about, a feature that broke. That's what these forums are for; development. If we never reported issues, things would never get fixed.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy my phone as-is, until something changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Clearly you didn't read the memo, these forums aren't for reporting issues or requesting features, or whining when something is broken. Do a search of why XDA exists! I won't presume to know what is working or isn't but I think this feature should be abandoned cause even on I9100 4.1.1 thread which I look through people been whining about this non essential feature, forgetting all the other issues that need to be taken care of. Devs have a life and you should be happy with what your given
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Wow way to be an ass about someone reporting a problem. You're wrong we're supposed to report bugs as long as a million of us don't do it at the same time. The devs here constantly are trying to make our devices better but with your mentality they are fine just the way they are.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Dude honestly who pays attention to a screen off animation? I think this supposed bug isn't a bug at all, just a personal preference. Does it affect how the phone normally operates adversely if it isn't there? No, so its not important, that's my point, its an extra. I'd rather have a fully working kernel, ROM or etc than have a few gimmicks that add no value to the experience, we have so many governors, cortex brain, GPU and CPU OC/UC. OV/UV, slide to wake, controllable voltages for USB/AC just to mention some of the features, what ever happened to asking/appreciation for actual useful things that add value as opposed to aesthetics.

Just wanted to add seems the flashing stopped, after the screen turns off and the CRT animation works on WiFi

I'm sorry to have added to this behavior. Being questioned on the validity of my actions annoys me, especially when it seems that I am in the right, and I assume it's common knowledge.

This part of your post was constructive. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DSTG:
For a more constructive input... my CRT animation (which I had to search to find out wth that was lol) works fine after the new kenerl, so it's probably something unique to you. Frankly I like the animation. If you google it, there are several different methods out there to enable it and time it ans such. You'l have to figure out a little bit of editing but from what I read, it's not too much more than user-level stuff with as detailed as these instrucctions are. Some are even flashable mods. I would suggest what they all suggest, wipe/clear, hell even factory reset, reflash ROM, run kenerl cleaner, reflash Siyah. Like I said, flashing 4.3.1b had not effect on my crt. Also, in the past I've noticed that animation just stop after flashing a kernel, usually siyah since that is was I primarily use. If you turn on screen and imediately lock it a few times, eventually it will produce the animation. Once I saw that I just left it, and over time, it became a more frequent occurance. I guess it's what people describe as 'letting things settle'. It is a silly animation, but I like it too, and when it's not there it's like 'dammit' lol. Especially in periods of time when it doesn't happen everytime...but that's jsut on OCD thing...

@ktoonsez

I reverted back to 4.3 version. I was having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi on both 4.3.1 and 4.3.1B versions. Also Google Hangout force close on both 4.3 and 4.3.1; I did not get a chance to try it out on 4.3.1B. Would kmesg reports help figure out why the phone kicks out the Wi-Fi connection even when it's available at full strength?

Siyah kernel is amazing, but I have a question. For those that are running the latest siyah kernel with the latest AOKP JB rom from task650, do you guys get any heating issues? After siyah 4.2, it seems like my device gets hot really easily, near the top where the camera is. It gets just just from booting up. Is anyone else getting this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Sometimes the phone takes forever to wake up when taking away from my face when ending a phone call. Also the battery life has not been nearly as good as 4.1.6 on my Rom. I'm still playing with settings to try and keep the performance and get back the battery life I had with 4.1.6 and my settings in post 2 of my thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Reuds:
Yes it had the phone heated for a while after flashed. But once it settles its fine. But I did wonder why the phone was warmer longer. Give it some time an see.

But its fine. Phone is working fantastic.

Does anyone have a problem with the capacitive key lights coming on when they don't want them to? I'm running 4.3.1B with Tasks' and Ktoonsez' AOKP and I unchecked Enable Keys Backlight in device options > screen and in Extweaks I have LED timeout set to Always off, led on with touch set to unchecked, and led fadeout effect checked. I played around with all these settings and the descriptions aren't clear for what I (ROM and kernel versions) need to do to make them always stay off. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dogfax:
So basically you're saying they can't stay off unless I use the stock AOKP kernel as opposed to Siyah? I put the led timeout in Extweaks > BLN to one second and it seems to work until my auto brightness gets an update, then it turns them on permanently (by permanently I mean until I power the screen off or go to device options > screen and enable then disable the lights). :banghead:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Danation:
I initially got it working using the BLN control app on the market.

Then I tried using its locale plugin and it stopped working (not sure if it was due to random chance or because of the plugin.) I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app. I tried flashing the kernel again. Nothing.

In addition, I keep having the phone freeze with the screen on... without any undervolting or anything. I'm using the default governor with 200-1400, nothing overly risky.

I'm a little annoyed at the moment, haha.

Gk is removing 100 and 1600 from beta 2, so it is a known stability issue on some phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shammyh:
Hi all,

So just following up on my OC issues I posted earlier.

~~~~~~

So far tested on CM9 w/ both the latest nightly (4/09) and an older nightly (4/04).

Problem:

It appears that there is indeed a kernel level problem with the overclocking code. Anything over stock (1200 MHz) speed seems to cause problems. Specifically, the CPU will not stay at 1400 or 1600 MHz even when told to do so either by manually setting the max/min to >= 1400 MHz, or when setting the max parameter >= 1400 MHz with the "performance" governor.

How to Replicate:

- Using SetCPU or Voltage Control set the max & min above >= 1400. Alternatively, just set the max >= 1400, and set the governor to "performance"

- Open CPUSpy and reset the counter (or if you prefer adb, dump a quick "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state" for reference)

- Open any CPU intensive app (i've tried both Antutu and Linpack so far)

- Go back to CPUSpy (or your time_in_state file)

- Notice that in fact the CPU has NOT been operating above 1200 MHz

~~~~~~

Further testing with linpack (and comparing to previous reference values) shows that this is not just a reporting error to time_in_state by the kernel, but the CPU is not correctly honoring the chosen clock speed.

Also, before people start saying "every device is different, maybe yours can't handle 1400/1600 MHz", under 2.3.X w/ both Siyah and Entropy's DD, I've run both 1400 and 1600 for extensive periods without even the slightest problem. And what's more, my phone happens to be one of those "lucky ones" that seems to take quite serious undervolting without issues.

Of course, for the tests here, I am running without any undervolt at all. What makes this situation even more erratic, is that occasionally when trying to set 1400/1600 MHz, the whole phone locks up with what feels very much like a "too much undervolt" death. Unfortunately even after a long-press reset my last_kmsg shows nothing more than a detailed log of the boot process.

I'm going to try again with a Samsung based firmware and see if I can replicate this behavior there, but at a bare minimum, even if this is some odd undervolt bug showing up (perhaps due to the way Samsung's new ICS kernel "auto-undervolts" some devices) there's still no reason why the CPU shouldn't be operating at the clock speeds demanded by the governor. I'm also going to try messing around with the voltages on the 1400 and 1600 steps, even though in the past there has been no need to push voltages higher than stock.

Anyone have any thoughts or notice similar behavior?

Update: Doesn't always happen at 1400 MHz, but does at 1600 MHz. Also, FWIW, synthetic benchmarks score are substantially worse on CM9 w/ Siyah vs w/ CM stock kernel. No idea why, or if it's actually reflective of real-world performance or not.
