as to the mount point swap for multiple roms.... yes there are a few methods that allow this but are all on a lower level aka bootloader. and the only person who really touches that is adam i think. he made a post about the hardware dump a month ago but i dont know if he is actively working on it.

as our current method... its a little more complicated than that. let me give you some background bear with me:

the boot loader is calling the same kernel for both roms and the kernel loads the initramfs. that stands for init RAM FS (or file system) then finally it loads init. that is the thing that loads mount points, modules, does some other crazy stuff. easiest way is to get a linux box and turn off the spash screen on start up and read the kernel output. it does some crazy stuff. so in essence it does change the mount points that it loads for the rom os. its like CHROOT if you know what that is. a watered down explanation is there is a folder with a bash in it and all the operators called root. chroot or "change root" tells the processor to start taking job requests and executing from the other folder. now the kernel option that we use does this before the other os loads so it isnt exactly chroot...

the problem i assume you are talking about is in the recovery... and how to flash .zips. that is a whole different beast. in the change log he released for rc4 i think he mentions adding support for flashing to second rom. this is a lot easier prospect than loading a second rom as all you need to do is point the script to the new file system. for instance if you go to the recovery and go into mounts. you can see the things recovery mounts. that is the rom file system. the recovery can mount the second rom and have the script do its magic thinking it is running on a normal rom. which btw all a .zip does is usually clear a few things extract a kernel image to a temp dir. and then finally move it to the final dir. and then copy over /system and the like... most of it is pure copy type commands...

ktoon... that is a very snappy processor. you could say that im jelly

Wow this kernel wickedly burned my battery down very quickly

This is like the stupidest thing anyone can say in xda..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
Well, what I mean is, the second I installed it my battery dropped for whatever reason from like 70% to 10%. I flashed the kernel, and upon booting up my battery was practically dead, but it hadnt been before I flashed the kernel. I like the kernel, but that was the initial effect when I flashed r5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
That is pretty common. Placebo effect. I suggest to search first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devoured321:
Maybe just me...flashed r5 along with aokp ...cloned to primary...reported into recovery..factory reset...flashed omega v10 ...flashed r5....booted into mega then back to recovery...checked second Rom status and it shows none...but my available space went from 2877 to 527....not getting any prompt for second Rom...tried just pushing the vol button when the splash shows up....nothing just continues to primary...icon remove sec Rom and it will show all the space again...tried this twice now and im getting the same thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zyryn:
OMEGA v10 with MicSwap rc5 ! Awesome!

Yes tried mic swap rc5 on omega v10..didnt tweak any settings...

Experience is great...touch sensitivty much better than default kernel (quadmonkey) in Omega..much less accidental opening of apps n settings while scrolling ...

Battery i tested only on wifi (will test data later) and it was stellar for my standards..almost heavyish usage( lots of currents,whats app,foursquare,benchmarking,lil jango radio streaming, a few sms,airdroid, facebook messnger,g+,xda app and quite a bit of instagram, all manual syncing) ..5 hrs screen on with 10% remaining !

check my screenshots...

Also, i know benchmarking is disliked here, but good numbers on your device always feels good :p...check out quadrant(4142), antutu(6372), cfbench n nenamark2 below..

Please change the kernel mic version for my rom.

Mic swap IS required.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
What? search what? I've used this kernel quite a few times before in different versions. It didnt do that before. However now after 16 hours, the phone has only been in deep sleep for 28 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
This happens intermittently when flashing anything(not related to this kernel in particular). Reported battery level will drastically drop after flash, but if you let the phone sit for a bit, it will slowly crawl back to battery level before the flash.:)

BTW, battery life is stellar for me on this kernel(rc5) running AOKP build 32 :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
If you know how to search... even person posted right above knows this.. it is a common knowledge now.

btw, if you see that small deep sleep, there is something else wrong. check your phone with bbs or reflash the kernel (even redownload it).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trev869:
Hey Sho, is this the case for 1.3 or just the new base in 2.1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Wouldn't really call it a placebo effect, since the battery percentage actually drops.

Our battery gauge operatives directly off of battery voltage vs mah used. Upon startup there is a high current draw so the voltage sags, the battery meter reads this as the battery actually being that low. You'll see it slowly rise over time as it corrects itself. The voltage drop becomes even higher when your battery life is lower.

about the deep sleep. i'm gonna guess you were charging your phone or it was plugged in during that time, in which case the phone doesn't sleep. unless you actually got 15.5 hrs of "awake time" out of one battery :eek:

it's not caused by flashing specifically, it's caused by the phone being rebooted. The startup process draws quite a bit of current. You'll see it if you reboot your phone below %50 power, even if flashing nothing.

+1 it is common knowledge and has been discussed over and over. if you really had that little deep sleep while not plugged in, i'd suggest taking a look at Entropy's known battery drainers thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Just to make sure u know, the phone will not deep sleep if it is plugged in to USB or wall. If that is not the case u can try clearing cache and dalvik and see what happens. U do have to wait for a day or so for things settle in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
I had beweather pro once keep my phone from entering deep sleep. Unistalled and re installed and all was well. The kernel is fine its most likely an app.

My SGS2 is Faster than yours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trev869:
Okay I have a dual boot question. If I clone a secondary rom that uses mic-swap and the primary uses no mic-swap, will they use the right kernel for each rom or will one be wrong? I guess the question I really have is if the dual boot will load the kernel you used to clone to the secondary or does it just use the kernel you have on the primary?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
No they both use the same kernel, so the roms have to be siyah compatible and use the same mic configuration.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drakester09:
As far as I know both roms will be running the same kernel, you can't use that combination unless you get a modded Phone.apk in one of the roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trev869:
Thats what I was thinking but just wanted to confirm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
I assume modded phone.apk, that was brought up a lot in the ported section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
Hi ktoonsez, are you going to post both versions (or specify?) -- because I think the differences are the original one you posted had the mics correct for ATT-based ROMs and the "new" one is for the i9100/CM9/AOKP ROMs.

So essentially both versions work -- just for difference audiences :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Thanks steve, you are awesome!!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Very coool!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daddioj:
play nice :D my whole understanding is when flashing a i9100 rom to our phone you need a modded phone.apk.. no rom in specific just a general question.

just wanted to know if we still had to do that with this kernel. if u dont ask questions you dont learn :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
@pinoymutt

GO ahead and try the new one an tell me what happens, just save the original so you can go back if it messes u up. Im pretty sure it wont mess you up, but need someone to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
dude really??? i was being nice about it. you didnt give any info, therefore you didn't even ask a question. you said "apk". now that could mean a ****load of apks out there. do you expect us to mind read? or waste posts guessing what apk you are referring to? all i said was to give information so that you dont clog up the thread with people trying to guess what you are asking for. it's the least you could do when asking for help. no you dont need the modded phone.apk. take my advice and make it easier on yourself and all of us that are attempting to help you out. :D

But, when I uses "View current status", it tells me "Internal SDCard Available: 2440MB" and that there is a second ROM.

Has anyone tried swapping ROMs on this kernel yet?

Thats not enough room, bad text with the zeros, but to do a swap, I would say, have 5 GB free to be safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
physical buttons work fine... that is an isolated problem a full wipe or possibly a reflash of the rom then kernel.... ive had that happen on a previous phone and it was a one time incident.... dont know what caused it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
I'll bet money people are having problems due to the changed mount points in CM9. The "fix" for that must be causing issues for other roms...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
Yeah, it's weird because I didn't have the issue using Siyah RC5. I know all the apps are still there, blah blah blah...ROM Toolbox and Titanium backup don't see any of my backed up stuff, and obviously I can't install anything from my sd card because it doesn't see it. When I check storage in "settings", though it'll see the card and tell how much space is used/free. I don't know, dude.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
Yeah, it's a gripe I've been having the last few days with the CM9 nightlies. They swapped mount points, but Siyah was telling the rom to use the external SD for app data and cache up until this update. Now it's "fixed for CM9 latest" meaning it's telling the app data and cache to go to the internal SD again. i.e. All the data for your apps now needs to be moved from the external to internal SD to work again, and I think it's causing issues for android secured partition as well... which would be why your apps are disappearing.

In my case, I had all my apps installed to internal storage, so I am not missing anything... just my app data needed to be moved from external to internal.

A lot of people are going to need to full wipe to fix this. Bet.

Apps like titanium backup also swapped on me. damn.

--UPDATE--

I managed to fix the issues I was having by moving my "Android" and "Data" folders from my external, to my internal storage. (keep in mind, I had no apps installed to external storage, that's a whole 'nother issue)

I then deleted anything that I hadn't put there myself that could be rebuilt easily (titanium backup, Rom toolbox, etc)

My thinking is that if anything does in fact need to store to the external SD, i'll be able to easily spot it by the folder it creates, and swap the app data back from the internal... if needed. Honestly, I think I'm good. Didn't need to wipe. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
I think I figured out why people are losing apps. Those that have apps loaded on sd card; those will go missing. Gokhan has switched ext sd and int. sd around. Those that have this issue may have to do the walk around to get those showing again. Good luck. I dont have any apps loaded on my sd card and didn't lose a single app. I loaded up 1 app on the ext sd card reflashed the newest siyah kernel and that single app went missing. But when looking into my externel sd card the data for that app was still there.

Edit: sorry long day. Hope that made sense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
That's not ENTIRELY correct... The only things that appear to be changed are the "android secure" directories, and the default storage option for App data. - Wherever your main "Android" and "Data" folders were (internal or external, rom dependent, I'm on CM9) now need to be in the opposite location.

If you want to clear the apps that were installed to SD that disappeared and re install them, look in "/mnt/asec" and see if the app files are there. I just had an issue like this, and first I uninstalled in settings, then deleted the app file from the asec folder. I then re installed the app, and immediately moved it to internal storage before reboot. Problem solved. No more missing apps. :-)

Strange. Certain apps aren't recognizing my second storage device... (Battery & Memory status pro for instance) are showing as internal and external having the same amount of storage space left. Strange... hmm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 78Staff:

Hmm, I had that happen in the weirdest way but on RC# (one we had before RC5)

I was working on my Rom, I replaced an APK and rebooted then when I came back I lost data...but I had done this several times already beforehand so not sure why it lost data.

Still had all my apps intact, but the data of the /system/apps were gone.
