RC2 is coming soon! :o

rc1 -> rc2: 4 gpu steps (100,160,200,266MHz default). gpu boost on touch to prevent UI lags (gpu freq will be set to step2, 160MHz in default set, for one second after you touch the screen). pegasusq behavior modified and tweaked. CWM-based recovery updated to 6.0.1.2. fixed mounting the internal sdcard in recovery.

Amazing.

With the last version of this kernel ( rc1) I don't have good results .

I still testing the last dorinmax and I have some freezes too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasic.2000:
To like or not to like,that is the question.

Hay!

I'm using Siyah since March - May so I thought: I'll leave an opinion so here we go:

Why I like Siyah:

1.Best battery live ( almost like stock )

2.Nice CWM Recovery

3.ExTweaks-Lot's of cool thinks in there

4.Super WiFi Range somethink about 25-30 meters :D

Why I don't like Siyah:

1.Coman,

2.We can't

3.Don't like

4.Siyah Kernel ICS :)

I am on the RC1 with the linux 3.0.40 and its working great for me. Have it for 3 day heavy usage-it stable, fast and the battery is the best thing of all. Its my first Siyah and I love it! I thought that this kernel would be overloaded and battery draining but in fact its working absolutely brilliant. As long as I am not getting into troubles I will keep it. Thx for this masterpiece!

By the way: I am on wanamlite uhlps (because of Jkay)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybernetus:
The best results I have with siyah too.

But in the last two versions ( beta6 and rc1 ) i had some problems and freezes.

At this week I still testing dorinmax and have some problems and freezes too.

I will flash again siyah on the rc2 version ... i believe this version will be more stable than this versions ...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
Well I had a strange bug if I may call it that with the 4.1 series or there maybe something wrong with my phone. After I flash something in recovery & then reboot the phone it just gets stuck at the Samsung logo & doesn't go any further, I can't even enter recovery because it again gets stuck at the same place. The only way to get the phone to work again is an odin flash of a kernel. Now I don't know if this is even remotely possible because I've never heard of this before but I feel that the reason for this is somehow the kernel is getting wiped because when I plug the phone into the charger with the phone switched off the charging animation doesn't show, all it shows is an empty battery with the circle spinner. I really need to solve this issue because it's already happened twice & I'm pretty sure it will happen again & I'm not always near a computer so if anyone has got a solution or a more logical explanation to what is actually wrong with my phone I would be really grateful.

After upgrading from 4.0.1 to 4.1 (and 4.1.1) I can't boot into recovery with the vol-home combo. It just displays the "samsung galaxy s II" screen and keeps rebooting, as in a boot loop. If i release vol-home it boots to the os normally with the usual dual-boot selection and such.

Luckily, I can boot into recovery using QuickBoot app. I searched but I keep finding usual bootloop problems and other cwm problems.

Does anyone have any clue about why the normal vol-home-power combo doesn't work anymore?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutalisk:
Good work as usual ;)

I really like the 4th gpu step and especially the boost feature :)

But I've a small problem that kind of concerns me:

With Siyah, some of my init.d scripts don't get executed

(if run in a terminal, they say: "sh:write error: invalid argument" ).

The scripts however should be fine and work with other kernels

(for example dream).

I'm on CM10 right now,

permissions are 777, owner is system.

Read somewhere, that CM10 sometimes is picky with permissions and wants to have 755,

but that doesn't work either.

Any ideas?

Maybe Busybox?

:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Can you post the script?

Also, you can try putting "set -x -v" in the beginning of the script (right after the "#!...." line). Bear in mind that it will produce extremely verbose output, though :)

Another thing to try is having not only the right permissions, but also the right owner and group

chown 0 <script>
chgrp 2000 <script>
chmod 755 <script>

Finally, note that not all files placed in /system/etc/init.d will be executed, even if they have the X bit set. They must have only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores in the filenames (and perhaps one or another char).

Things like "script.sh" will NOT be included in the executed scripts, due to the dot. (this doesn't look like your problem though)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
they are probably gpu related lines.. we now have 4 steps.

echoing 3 values to gpu voltage or gpu clock interface will give you that error.

if it is something else I need the command that gives that error.

try to run the script line by line and see which one gives you the error.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutalisk:
They are not gpu related; the error is also present in beta6 already.

I'm very thankful for your quick responses, and while I'll try to follow Gökhans tip,

I'll just post the scripts, maybe your trained eyes are quicker than me :)

By the way, doesn't work with CM9 as secondary as well...

Well then,

the S99undervolting worked for me for months and still does on other kernels/older siyah versions;

The second script could very well be my fault - I'm pretty positive I messed something up there, but nevertheless, the first script should work...

And of course they are not .txt :D

Just for upload.

Thanks a lot guys :)

Edit: ok, the undervolting part was easy, stupid me. :D

Sorry to have bothered you, seems as if I just had to view it from a different angle :D

And I'll find the mistake in the gesture script, now that I know it's my fault completely :)

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutalisk:
Sorry Doublepost
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
GM has nailed it, he just assumed it was the most recent change of that nature and not the previous one :)

You're changing stuff related with the CPU steps and there are only 16 now instead of 18 (25 and 50MHz were removed).

It will fail regardless of the ROM, since it's related with the kernel.

It worked as long as you had 18 steps.

At a first glance it looks fine, I'd say that it probably isn't causing any problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutalisk:
Yup, as I gave it a thought, it came to me pretty quickly :)

I feel dumb and I should feel dumb

:D

Sorry for bothering you :o

The second script doesn't work either, but as I know me, I probably hit the space bar accidentally at some point or something similar, somewhere is a stupid mistake and I'll find it :D

Thanks a lot :)

However, for me it's not the issue at all. It happens only when someone uses combo by volume up+home+power and releases only power when samsung logo pops up but still holding volume up and home buttons for a while. When all three buttons are released after samsung logo appears then phone goes properly to CWM recovery instead of restarting.

I was about to reply to a previous post saying that if you release the keys just at the right time, i.e. after the bootloader has identified that you want recovery but before the kernel is loaded and starts processing key inputs, it *should* work (not having an idea of the involved time frame).
