For me 4.1.1 is ok. I heard different opinions, these are a few versions Siyah kernel users think are the best: 4.1.1, 4.0.1, 3.3.2 or 3.2.7.1 (many people prefer as the best for battery life). But it's your choice. Remember if you shift back to older versions you gonna lose many features provided by the new versions. So before you decide go to GM download site and read carefully chnagelogs. Regards

Hi guys! Question about HDMI Adapter. I have 2 because I am unsure which one is the problem, my adapter or my setup.

1. ) Will the phone charge if I will just connect the HDMI Adapter to my phone and just plug the charger to the HDMI Adapter? Or does it have to have the HDMI Cable connected for it to charge?

2. ) Will HDMI work with my setup? I am using Wanamlite 12.4 XWLPU based rom as my 2nd rom and Siyahkernel 4.1.2.

Thank you very much!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
The latest official release you can read from OP title of GM's kernel thread:

"[KERNEL][ICS/JB][ExTweaks][All-in-1kernel][DualBoot][Eargasm] SiyahKernel v4.1.2"

If it's stable? For me yes (for sure depending on how you gonna configure it). Just flash and test.

I have set CHARGE CURRENT to option 2: AC, Misc: 650mA, USB:450mA

I think that "Misc" is the value to the car charguer. Is it?

Well, when I use the phone in the car, with GPS, this value isn't enough to chargue the phone. During the travel the phone loose battery.

My charger has two USB ports: one of 1A and one of 2A (for iPad or similar). So the power suplied for the charger should be sufficient (I only use one of them).

Then, can I raise that value somehow to avoid losing battery?

Sorry by my english...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrus01:
I cannot help you, but I can confirm that the car charger counts to misc. I also have the problem that it doesn't charge enough if I use navigation, where the screen is always on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hi again,

1. According to my knowledge about that, higher current is not possible due to hardware limitations (a battery gauge chip of the s2 doesn't support it). So even you use a charger with higher current S2 will use maximum 650 mAh.

2. "Misc" means just miscellaneous (including a car charger). From my experience - I'm using oryginal samsung car charger "acadu10cbecstd" 700 mAh and it's really charging my phone while using GPS with navigation software (very slowly but for sure not loosing).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
Hi guys hope I am posting in the right thread its my first time posting.

Been using Siyah for ages and I am extremely happy, I have a question about dual booting roms in particular deleting the second rom.

I have resurrection remix JB 3.0.5 installed as my primary and stock ICS as secondary, I want to delete the stock ICS secondary rom as everything I use works perfectly under RR and I don't need the security of having the stock as my secondary.

Do I need to uninstall all the apps that are associated with the secondary rom so they don't still stay on my phone after I delete the secondary rom? I am just a little confused with this as I know the roms don't share apps buy they do share app data on the SD card.

Any help or direction about this would be awesome. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
All what is unique for 2nd rom is stored:

1. system in /system partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9), different of course then /system partition of 1st rom

2. data in /sdcard/.secondrom folder in data.img (mountable image file)

3. cache in /sdcard/.secondrom folder in cache.img (mountable image file)

So if you execute in CWM recovery just "Remove 2nd rom" option, your 2nd rom will be deleted (including your apps) - it will format /system and delete .secondrom folder.

thanks bro. i always thought mx had full hw decoding :/ ill give diceplayer a try
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
I think he is right.

for now, you can set smooth_level using ExTweaks and set it to 1200MHz (or to the max freq level that you set)

it is not so bad to have that setting for power saving.

but as AndreiLux says, with freq step of 40 it won't be necessary to guard against spikes which result jumping to max frequency.

another thing I tried was to disable frequency increase on touching the screen but I didn't want to make a big change in this release.

you can change that "set freq to 500 on touch" logic using the script that I have given as an example usage of kmemhelper in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26380817&postcount=9418

I think setting it to 14 (200MHz), freq for responsiveness in pegasusq to 500000 and up_threshold for responsiveness to something like 50-60 may not be a bad idea...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
Yeah pegasusq is behaving very well now. I've left smooth target at 800 but am enjoying frequency step set to 24 instead of 40
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellsgod:
Why shoud it be possible to set "set freq to 500 on touch" to "200"? It won't save much battery i think. fluxi explained it, that it would maybe give so some minutes more.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnaye:
Hey GM, what setup you running now? still the same one as your siggy?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPBoss:
yh it would probably end up scaling even more often.. makes me think it might use more battery set to 200mhz on touch
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francodekin:
[fixed]. i tried wifi tethering in my second rom and it was working flawlessly. it must have been a rouge app i installed on my primary rom . i tried deleting some apps that i felt might be the cause but it still failed to connect. i had to do a clean install of lxp7 from odin and flashed kernel v3.25. all is workin now
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
hmm.. I did not say that "it will" save battery, but "it might"

put your finger on the screen and see the freq...

and imagine someone keeps his finger on the screen while reading an e-book...

it may give you some more minutes more, or maybe some tens of minutes more if you read something with that pattern...

and... I didn't modify kernel code to make it possible..

it is now possible with kmemhelper and you can use it on any kernel if you like.

of course, that change will be optional for now, but if it is tested that it doesn't make the device any less responsive why should we keep it?

the main reason of setting freq to 500MHz is to improve interactivity.

but nobody can say it for sure (without testing) that removing it will not improve battery life or make the device less responsive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellsgod:
everything has pro and contras ;) i know that it improve interactivitiy, it makes a "snappier" feeling. of course, you never said it would save battery, but for me this would be the only reason to set it to "200", that's why i asked.

hells
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
exactly... everything has pros and cons... :)

and one more thing:

I remember that I read a post about setting enable_mask in cpuidle_exynos to 0 improves deep sleep. normally, it doesn't make sense because it disables LPA which is what we call deep sleep but maybe there is something I miss... I saw that it is set to 0 in xxKernel as well. I have not checked the code yet but you may try to set it to "Idle only" in extweaks and see if improves anything...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
OK GM set to IDLE only. Will report any differences using Pegasusq

Yes there is a hardware limitation for the charging current and it's 650 mA, ( By the way the current is measured in mA - the battery capacity is measured in mAh )

The only thing you can try is to change the charge current setting in extweaks to the 3rd option AC,MISC,USB to 650 mA.

Some car chargers might not be recognized as MISC, but as USB.

Steps performed when flashed kernel:

1- Wipe cache

2- Wipe Dalvik

3- Reset ExTweeks profile

4- Flash kernel

5- Wipe cache

6- Wipe Dalvik

7- Reset ExTweeks profile

8-Reboot & wait :P

undervolting should help... sometimes a lot.

but also I doubt latest cgroup_timer_slack commit might be helping with the battery life.

and remember: cpu governors govern the cpu when it is awake. the governor may affect AFTR state if the one you use have a hotplug logic because AFTR requires the second core to be off. but governors do not create/destroy wakelocks and have absolutely no effect on deep sleep. latest pegasusq modifications might be helping AFTR by disabling the second core sooner and thus increasing the battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ercxar:
I did undervolting till my phone let me do it:D But I recently found black theme will give you better battery life! I was 4hours 45minutes screen time but with this theme http://blackandroidtheme.com I got nearly 1hour more screen time with same usage!

Maybe disabling second core all times will give something like @rkoby13's screen time with 43% of battery left!

I might test that pegasusq governor but I can remember at first days of intruding this governor I had many many freezes and hangs and I couldn't use heavy undervolting with this governor, but it seems very good now indeed.

I can say @gokhanmoral your siyahkernel v4.1.x is perfect in terms of battery life and performance at once!

I don't think it has anything to do with permissions or locks. The /sys mount point is for sysfs entries (virtual files exposed by the kernel to allow peeking and changing the state of the several modules).

Perhaps it has something to do with the selected governor?

Can you share your configuration to see if someone can spot any possible culprit for this?

Also, can you use Root Explorer or Root Browser to see what are the permissions of that file? (I'm guessing from your comment that it exists)
