It's working for me, on XWLPG (4.0.3).

I did notice a bit of delay (30s maybe) picking up the signal but I don't use it regularly so I guess it's normal. Did you test with this app?

can anyone share with me extweak settings for maximum performance in 3d games..like all smooth and no tiny lags and jitters...

I mostly want the governer settings..as well as the gpu thresholds and frequencies and count

would be great if someone could share thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josuhu:
Working on ParanoidAndroid V1.6 (4.0.4) and Siyah 3.3.4.1, the locking took long at the first time but afterwards seems to be better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egps2:
Hi I find that setting a high "down differential" such as 30 (gov settings) really helps reduce stuttering and lag as the CPU will scale down less aggresivly but without using too much power. Reducing the gpu thresholds might help too but it depends on the game as some prefer CPU over GPU etc. Let us know how that goes or any other info about what you like to play. All the best with it. Just don't overclock until you have tried tuning everything to performance first!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypticc:
Working now standing in middle of street. Uninstalled Google now. Seems lock took over five minutes. Well try reinstall to see if that's the cause.

Update 90% sure it is Google now that hogs the gps.

Update 2: not Google now. Apparently some solar interference is affecting GPS worldwide. K found changing GPS.conf reduced some of the time to lock but still less satellites than normal.

Hi can i root my phone with this kernel without using cf root kernel? I am using lp9 and im afraid of the brick bug.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josuhu:
I believe Siyah is one of the most safest kernels out there. Its "protected" against the Emmc brick. You can root your phone with Odin and cf root and then flash Siyah kernel in CWM.

I rooted my phone with cf root through Odin and after that have flashed everything in CWM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSpaceManatee:
Hi thanks alot but i want to ask if i can just flash the siyah .tar using odin instead of flashing cf root .tar and then flash siyah through cwm?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josuhu:
Sorry, hehe. That is something I have never heard. I would not do that until someone hear gives you a go ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSpaceManatee:
Thanks. One laat thing, if i flash cf root lp9 and then flash siyah via cwm is my phones kernel still lp9 or siyah because when i installed siyah on my friends phone when it booted up there was still the stock kernel logo with yellow triangle but after that thr siyah logo appears. What im asking is since lp9 has a scary bug, after flashing siyah will it still exist? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josuhu:
Get the cf root LPQ from here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/kernels/ICS/CFRoot/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.zip.

Dont use the cf root LP9. The LPQ is also for android ICS.

EDIT! This is for GTi-9100 galaxy S2 phones!!!!!!!!! I hope you dont use this with any other phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviral1990:
Thanks a lot m8..but which kernel do u prefer? Also my main are concerns are basically the following:

1. To reduce some tiny lags and stutters during normal-medium demanding games..

2. To get better fps in really heavy demanding games particularly like gangstar rio city,amazing spiderman, backstab etc. The open world games really do cause massive fps drop at few places.i wud like to increase the fps if possible at those places..

do give some more comments and help

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
OK I have a question... since everyone knows the new cwm has a bug with restoring... where exactly or what determines which cwm will be flashed...??

What I mean to ask is... the cm9 builds for the past few days have cwm6 on it... is that held in the kernel portion or the actual rom itself...??

Like if I'm to flash the latest nightly, then flash siyah 3.3.2 over it... would that revert cwm to 5 rather than 6...?? I think the siyah 3.4.1 is for the new cwm6...?? Correct me if im wrong plz... really need to update to the latest nightly and looking for the safest way...

On the SGS2 the recovery is part of the kernel. Therefore, if you flash Siyah on top of whatever you had, you'll get the CWM recovery that is bundled with Siyah.

Lol, of course, our good and trusty friend SuperSU.

Btw John, how you finding RR? Which kernel you using it with?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I'm liking it a lot and a good replacement for Hydrogen...(really enjoying the apex launcher) ....still running some tests ( I think you (and other users might be right : 2.6 does have a strange tendancy to drain the battery once everything (apps & config's) is installed ; this in contrast to when it's plain and empty (just freshly installed), I tried it with both siyah 3.3.3d and with 3.4.

but I'm still looking into that....doing some comparing now with stock to be sure...if the drain is related to 2.6, I'll be moving to RR2.5.1 like you suggested.

Actually I'm trying a lot of things out lately, like an other kernel (dorimanx) and see how it compares to siyah (pro's and con's) and as my battery cycles are pretty long lately :good: , this might take a while...:laugh:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos67:
Sounds like your having fun man. :laugh:

I suspect you will eventually try 2.5.1 and make it a keeper like me (newer is not always better when it comes to Rom's ;).

Be interesting to hear your take on Dorimanx kernel. It would have to be exceptional for me to even consider switching from Siyah.

I mean, I have no reason anymore to fiddle with the damm thing! 97% deep sleep and 4 days battery life. I feel like I've reached the top of the mountain and the only way to go now is downhill if I fiddle any more with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I'm thinking about making the switch from the stock kernel to SiyahKernel S2-v3.4.1. Does it include chanfire's su? I prefer that, but if I flash an new nightly, I'll need to reflash the kernel, correct?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
If you flash Siyah it will install Superuser and set it as the active root manager, but only on the first time.

You can install SuperSU, run it, update the binary when prompted (might need to tell Superuser to allow SuperSU to run as root).

After the binary is updated, SuperSU will be the one managing root requests and you no longer need the Superuser app (but you can leave it installed, it won't do anything).

Also, if you already made the switch, flashing newer Siyah versions will not replace it everytime, so SuperSU will be your permanent root management app. That's what I'm using.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegendZenify:
Siyah includes the usual Superuser (not Chainfire's SuperSU).

However, you can install SuperSU from the Play Store and change the su binary using the app.

And yes, you will have to reflash the kernel after flashing a new nightly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Updating to Chainfire's SU fixed a problem I was having with an app that I need every day, so I'm happy. Not sure why it worked, but it definitely did.

Battery recharge

Hello Guys!

I wanted to increase the current, but I found only 3 options in Extweaks Pro (650 on AC). I searched for hours, but I cant find any solution... My mistake. Please tell me how can I set the value higher than 650mA? :eek:

I really appreciate your help!

Thank you. :cyclops:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutalisk:
Physically impossible, our device isn't able to charge with more than 650 mA, sorry :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
This is how siyah does it :

https://github.com/gokhanmoral/initramfs3/blob/master/res/customconfig/actions/chargecurrent

and dorimanx uses slightly higher values

https://github.com/dorimanx/initramfs3/blob/master/res/customconfig/actions/chargecurrent

I'm just pointing you in the direction of these scripts, because if you would want to, you'll have to use a script (using the appropriate lines...)

I tried the dorimanx values, but they don't seem to increase the current anyway (at least not by much...)

Besides why should you want to? It will only heat up the phone more while charging, charging will seem faster, but the battery cuts it off to early because of the higher current, so it will not be fully charged, and it will probably only save you about 10-15 min. on a charge....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuovo Imperium:
Pipa

Well, before ICS, I had a cooked ROM (2.3.5.), and the charging was MUCH faster.

Sometimes I have no time (about 5-6 hours) to fully charge my phone, so I loved that custom setup. It was no more than 3 hours to fully charge the phone.

My biggest problem is the following: I'm 'facebooking', so the WiFi is ON, the brightness is 100%, and the music is playing -> my phone is on the charger and the battery loses current! I laughed at the first time, WTF?

I need more POWER. (I am using the original Samsung 2000mAh Battery Kit)

having major issues with 3.4.1. Phone is randomly rebooting itself, touch key backlight is going nuts, and "hold back to kill" feature doesn't seem to work at all.

Flashing Dorimanx kernel fixes all of these issues.

Any idea whats going on?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
No...not the faintest idea...unless you're switching kernels (specifically dorimanx and siyah) without clearing extweaks profiles after flashing and clearing cache and dalvik also won't hurt....

Dorimanx is for big part based on the siyah sources, but dorimanx has taken a different approach with a lot of things, so they are not interchangable with some parts ; and these parts (especially extweaks profiles) might be left behind going from one to another and mess things up.

Another long shot, you might try : installing superSU instead of superuser, For some reason this seem to help in some cases in solving instabilities....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndehX:
is it important to clear extweaks profiles after flashing? that is one thing I have overlooked.

I'll give 3.4.1 another go and i'll clear extweaks profiles this time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndehX:
So far, it seems clearing extweaks profile has worked. I'll play with my phone for a few hours and see if it behaves.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
If you feel it's a bit slugish, after some hours or so or tends to behave leaning towards instability, you might want to try superSU instead of the built in superuser ; but if it stays smooth and stable, than it's a matter of chioce.....

Hope it works out well for you....:)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
If your going to push the phone to the limit & max out the processor then obviously it's not going to charge & your messing up the phone. My suggestion would be to let the phone charge & use a computer to facebook & listen to music. After all its a phone & not a home entertainment system:p. Also you need to remember that the power isn't always being supplied at a steady limit. There are drops in mAh so you aren't always getting 650 mAh. Therefore normal charging time would be around 4 hours for your battery.

@MistahBungle: I've got some good news on the networkstats wakelock front but it's a very specific thing & I'm not even sure if it would be the cause of your problem. I recently switched to another gtalk version & for the past two days the wakelock seem to have gone. I will still keep observing it cause knowing how funny the wakelock is it might just be messing with me. Previously I happened to be using a custom version of gtalk which had been inverted & my android & gsf alarms in bbs were very low than what they were before but after I installed the default gtalk everything seems to be back to normal include a high count on both the alarms. I really don't have any explanation for it but you could try & see if it helps.

If the rom has the feature & you have enabled it then all you need to do is to hold down the back softkey for 3 seconds & the app will get killed but there are two things I need to tell you. First this isn't kernel related so it should have been posted on the rom thread that you happen to use & secondly you only need to kill apps when they misbehave otherwise your just causing problems fro yourself.

Hi I think it's because the software is designed to prevent overcharging. I could be wrong but as I understand it charges to almost full then stops charging and lets it drop down to about 90. This process then repeats to ensure the battery is charged but without remaining on charge all night/day. So you might have picked up your phone in the period it was not charging.
