Hello.

Something puzzles me : with the arrival of STweaks, should we uninstall extweaks ?

I admit this is unclear for me, sorry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
They may coexist - no interference is possible. Of course, I recommend Stweaks - faster, some extra options and more to come. ;)

God bless you my friend. Good news indeed. I was contemplating upgrading my phone after few months if this was the last release, but I'll hold on to my beloved S2 for a little bit more.

Siyah and CM are the only things that keep on breathing new life into my S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seigneurao:
All in all, considering I use mainly default settings, I should end up keeping STweaks alone, since it does the same -or a better- job as extweaks, right ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
it is right and just as an extra relieving info: none of them have any services or background execution. so even if you don't use them they can stay...

I will work on stweaks (actually get someone else work on it as I don't have enough time) to add autoupdating kernel, flashing tars/zips, novice/expert mode, widget support for booting into 2ndrom/1strom, custom donation links for the kernel devs that want to integrate them into their own kernels and profile support.

I will publish the sources next week and I am open to any contribution.

And to answer myself, on 5.0i the sweet spot on my device seems to be 1200 mV. Stressed it via GPU intensive game and Nenamark2 (I know - I don't believe in benchmark apps, too. ;) Just trying to freeze the device somehow, but it's stable.

Btw., GM seems to have fine tuned pegasusq for best performance. I have noticed that the phone spends more time than before on 1200 CPU while browsing for example.

Hi,

I'm currently running Resurrection Remix ROM v3.0.5, Siyah kernel 4.1.5+ and Baseband XXLPX on my SGS2.

I downloaded Siyah 5.1i from here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v5/Siyah-s2-v5.0i-CWM.zip copied it to my internal SD card, rebooted into recovery and proceeded to install it. All went fine except after rebooting it wouldn't boot into ROM. I got a black screen right after the Siyah icon/logo. I could press home button and invert colors, but that was all.

Luckily I had 4.1.5+ Siyah on my SD card so I could reinstall it from recovery.

I also tried again installing 5.0i after clearing cache and dalvik cache. Still no luck.

Please advise on what am I doing wrong and how can I get Siyah 5.0i on my phone.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Solutions are proper but the reason of the problem (hope I'm not mistaken) is as GM mentioned some time ago that the new kernel doesn't support CM10 based roms with old mali drivers. Your rom belongs to that group.

Sorry guys if this is a noob question but what is the point of vpll if i can use 330mhz without enabling it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Just a quick report - everything is working flawlessly on Sammy stock 4.0.3, including all GPU frequencies. I am able to overclock to 520 MHz without problems. Everything is super smooth, no bugs so far. v5.0(i) seems to me like the best release in S2 history. :)

Btw. I am one of users whose phones couldn't handle new GPU steps until now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Really let's conduct a short experiment:

- leave GPU freq steps default

- find Malistatus app on XDA, install it and run (you have to press home button to make it running properly)

- download Nenamark2 benchamark app from Google play, install and run.

- run two benchmarks: with vpll enabled and with disabled

- observe on Malistatus highest freq used by your phone

Report here your results :)

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Well this is weird - installed malistatus, ran it, ran Nenamark2 and malistatus seems to be frozen all the time - it always shows 400 MHz @1200 mv, but didn't enable that step - I have 520 MHz @ 1200 mv, and previous step is 267 @ 1050 mv. Even after I finished test, it's still showing 400 MHz whatever I do looking at the screen for example...

Can someone explain to me how vpll works and what difference it makes? Step 5 has been set to 330 but vpll is off. Does that mean it doesn't actually go to the frequency

Simple yes or no would be too boring. Wanted you to contribute to the answer a little ;)

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

This just wanted you to experience by yourself making short test. But you don't like exercises. OK then here you are: when vpll is off MAX GPU freq can be 267MHz which is Samung default for S2 (even it is already set in STweaks).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
@Many40, do you have any explanation for this:

What's your experience?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
OK, if you ask me directly. TBH I never looked forward to have such high GPU frequencies working on my phone. I hardly used from time to time stock freq: 267MHz. That's why I haven't tested yet higher freq than 330MHz which works with vpll mode enabled very well for me.

Coming back to your issue - simply I think that 520MHz might be too high for your phone. Have you tried lower value? Was Malistatus app behaviour the same?

Or might be also that Malisstatus app crashed. Try to kill it from running apps and open again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AN7 OverClocker:
with vpll off, max gpu freq is 400 and the possible freq are 100/133/160/200/267/400

If you run nenamark on 267 and 400 with pll off you ll see 6+fps difference so i assume that it is working like i said.

You can select 520 because the values aren't disabled but the max gpu clock will be 400

The thing with the vpll is that if i have it enabled, my gpu need more voltage to be stable at 400mhz. From 1050mv that i run it with vpll off, with vpll on it wants 1200mv
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
with vpll off, the steps are 66-100-160-200-267-400

I didn't want to make a different vpll set, therefore I renamed 260 to 267 in vpll table...

so, in vpll we have 54-66-108-160-200-267(260 actually)-330-400-440-520

and when you don't have vpll mode on, setting the gpu to 108 will set it to 100

likewise, if you have 330 it will not be effective if you have vpll off but it will set the freq to 267 instead.

in this way, we have only one set in freq dropdowns and vpll mode enables some of them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
I just wrote how it works in my phone (ICS 4.0.4 NeatromLite3.5 XWLPY + Siyah 5.0i) - checked by Malistatus app real GPU frequencies which were set in real-time during testing. This what I wrote and tested is also in line what Gokhanmoral described (see post below). So, I don't guess but state the facts.

Edit: Thanks DEV, with the info you already provided now "the trick" is clear for me :)

I can tell you from experience that external NTFS USB Flash Drives and External HDDs definitely work. (I've had success with WD Caviar Green 2TB/Seagate Barracuda 500GB - they are both internal drives in a powered dock though)

What ROM are you using?

Have you ever had USB OTG working with Android?

Do you know for certain that the cable you have is compatible and works?

It's strange that even USB flash drives aren't working. If I was you I would grab a USB flash drive you don't really care about and re-format to NTFS using default parameters.

edit - I guess I should have mentioned you'll actually need something on the USB drive before ejecting it otherwise you won't be able to tell if it's detected properly.

IMPORTANT: make sure you correctly eject it before removing from PC. (Incorrectly unmounted drives can cause problems with USB OTG with Android.)

Then insert flash drive into USB OTG cable (Do not insert into phone until after).

You should get a notification 'preparing SD card'. Then go to the root of your internal SD Card and browse to /mnt/usbdisk.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonscha:
I use the ICS european stock ROM (see pic).

Definately: YES! It worked and works with an USB flash drive which is FAT32. It didn't work with an old flash drive freshly formatted to NTFS with standard settings, neither with 'quick format' nor with 'normal' format.

It is a Nokia OTG cable which I 'modded' (ground down the corners so it fits), which worked back then and now. It gets recognized as it should. FAT32 works, just NTFS doesn't work... :(

If it's working with FAT32 it must be an issue with the ROM or USB stick, although if it's working with FAT I see no reason why it wouldn't work with NTFS.

I can say for certain that NTFS USB flash drives work with CM9 & WanamLite v11 and all versions of Siyah kernel I've tested recently, I'm currently on v3.2.2. I know it's a bit of a pain but you could try either of those. Maybe use the dual-boot to test it out.

edit - I was thinking about your problem and I have to say it's a strange one, but I was thinking that maybe an NTFS/external storage app such as StickMount or NTFSMount is interfering.
