I will publish v3.3.2 tonight.

charging while having the phone off problem is fixed.

some backports from upstream.

wifi should be at least as stable and as good (in coverage) as in the one used in CM9, if not better.

and (although not tested fully) usb mass storage/mtp selection in extweaks.

you can use mtp mode if using wanamlite or mass storage mode if using stock rom.

Well, I am nearly new to flashing rooted kernels and all. I have researched well about them.

Just have a question...would this kernel work with my SGS II XWLP7?

Dev says it should work on any newer kernels after XWLPQ. So, how do you smart guys know if the kernel is newer or not? :(

Hi this Siyah kernel is newer and should work well (I haven't tried yet) on LPQ but I recommend some of the newer stock roms such as LPG as a base:)

Here are some stock roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 (only if you wan't)

Also does anyone know what "ARCH_POWER" is? Is it to do with multi core threading? I found the following online but I wanted to clarify it here! Thank you!

It seems like it might do independent frequency scaling but that seems to good to be true! Thanks again for any answers :)

Hi Siyah (3.x.x) works well on XWLP7 and I have used a few versions on this rom. The kernel itself is based on sources that were released by Samsung before some of these roms but Siyah is compiled with these older sources and released on the date given on his site. Sorry if I have made a mistake or confused you but basically:

Any Siyah version 3.x.x will generally work on stock I.C.S builds including and after LPQ :)

Arch Power patch causes arch dependent power functions to be used instead of generic high resolution timer ticks and double ticks.

Does this mean 3.3.1 was having Wifi strength issues? I have had very little experience with my 1 week old SG2 (3.3.1 is the only kernel I've used) but I noticed the G & N strength of my SG2 was about 25-50% worse than on my old Android 2.x phone.

Should my signal reception get better with 3.3.2?

Also i flashed the stock rom again, then flashed the cm9 ressurection with odin then siyah kernal and still the same thing, but then when i flash siyah 3.1.2 it works. i have noticed i can flash siyah 3.1.2 with most of the roms with no problems, but if i flash an version above 3.1.2 for example 3.3.2 it will not work?

I execute the script related with that usb mode selection even after executing any init.d scripts.

so, even if you have that one or anything else installed forcing mtp or mass storage mode in ExTweaks will override other settings/scripts.

keeping it default will not make any change though.

and what about 2nd question about better batterylife ? :confused:

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tye:P:
Battery life is good. It's a well optimized kernel in general. A lot of hard work has gone into it and obviously there's alot of people here using it so either there's something good about it or we're all some kind of idiot. :)

I think in regards to battery and the popularity of the kernel, it is Siyah's extremely tweakable nature. We've got a solid kernel with great features and good battery life as a base with the option to take things even further through the tweaks available.

At the same time there is only so much you can achieve through kernels, ROMs, tweaks and optimizaions. The SGS2 it's not very battery efficient no matter what you do. The screen is the biggest killer of battery and there's not much you can do with it off. Still, the battery life can be reasonable with the right settings and Siyah has got plenty of those.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
For me helps a lot due to the fact that CF-root is not UV/UC "frendly". When I tried this I had only freezes. Siyah with ExTweaks (must have app with this kernel) in combination with Voltage Control gives you great tool to find really battery saving configuration.

Of course it has to be in combination with proper (battery friendly) settings of your ROM.

But when I check in a terminal with lsmod command it shows the module listed as loaded.

Anyone know why?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lady_Chloe:
Either the kernel does not allow module unloading or something is using it. Also, Linux is case-sensitive, so make sure that you type the module name correctly. Also try with the full path to the rmmod binary.

Weird!!!!!

I unloaded the module in script manager and did a relist modules and it was gone. However, as soon as I put the phone to sleep, it made a strange noise (like a slow crackling noise) and soft rebooted :eek:. Anyway it spooked me and so I'm leaving it well alone! Have taken the rmmod out of my init.d script.

Phone was ok after soft reboot though (phew - I'd be dangerous if I had brains:o!)

Okay, this is a serious issue. Lately my phone is acting crazy while charging (however Android's feature is acting crazily always IMO).

A few questions:

1. Is the 2nd rom data separated from the 1st rom data ? meaning if I wipe the data of my 1st rom all my data (assuming "pre" - cloned my 1st rom to the 2nd rom) is untouched on the 2nd rom ?.

2. it is my feeling that the last version 3.3.2 drains the battery much faster.

3. it is my feeling that the last version 3.3.2 also has modem problems. because after flashing it and rebooting the device i had no service, I had to reboot 3 times before the modem was recognized (Settings\about showed that i had no Broadband modem installed). it's not the first time it happens ! it happened to me with other versions of siyah as well.
