Hi,

Seems like 6b5 it's not working with SlimBean 4.2.2 (it was with 4.2.1) Is this kernel related? does it need to get patched?

These are lib files that will fix your stock VideoPlayer issue with LSJ ROM and Siyah beta 4.

Or alternatively you can access it via Gallery or install MX Player.

So, I am using beta5 for JB and I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to decrease the minimum movement amount before a swipe(moving slider;swiping through panels) is registered. There's been a noticeable delay since stock ICS 4.0.3 with stock kernel, thought JB and Siyah would fix it, but no, it's still here.

I am referring to what this App called TouchScreenTune can do, although it's paidware and I am looking for a permanent, free fix.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
From GM changelog we can find out that problem related to some settings not kept after reboot (siyah6b4) was already solved in latest Siyah6b5. I thought the same until I realized that I/O scheduler always after reboot is reverted to noop. I overcame this by making a script which I execute at boot.

But the rest settings are ok for me. What settings are not stored in your phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viliasa:

But you didn't answered my question - what settings are not stored? All? or some of them?

Strange - for me on beta4 only governor and I/O scheduler were not kept and on beta5 only I/O scheduler. The rest are kept properly if I set them from STweaks.

What I would suggest you is:

- go to CWM recovery

- flash kernel wipe script (GS2KernelWipeV2.04.zip) from

HERE

- wipe cache/dalvik

- flash kernel again

- reset STweaks profile (in kernel's specific options)

- reboot

- go to CWM again

- flash my tweaks (if you want)

- reboot to OS

6.0b5 with CM 10.1 nightlies

Hi all,

I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 version 10.1-20130307-NIGHTLY-i9100 on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. It works with the stock kernel it comes with.

I have tried Siyah 6 beta 5 (and also 5.0.1 just to see if it would work, which it didn't) with this version of CyanogenMod. It doesn't boot CM, after the Siyah logo I get a black screen. On the Siyah page it says booting CM 10.1 works, but Gokhan won't support it until it works dual-booting. However I read on the Siyah 6 beta 5 kernel post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555259&page=1474) someone asking if Gokhan is planning to support the latest CM 4.2.2 nightlies. So I guess the beta 5 doesn't work on CM 10.1 nightlies, correct?

The reason I am using nightlies is there is no stable CM 10.1 for my S2 GT-I9100.

Thanks! :cowboy:

Do you have a I9100G or I9100 ? Because if you've flashed a I9100 kernel on I9100G nothing would boot ! You'll be in great trouble if you did so . Btw V6 beta 5 doesn't boot on I9100 because it has not been updated to latest Mali driver ( r3p1 i think ) used on cm 10.1

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breaksomeoff:
First, MASSIVE thanks for Gokhanmoral, I think not enough credit is given to just how brilliant these kernels have been, especially the amazing task of BLNWW, to put it another way, I simply wouldn't still own a GS2 for it has not been for the Siyah kernel.

I have been reading this thread, can't quiet look at every post due to the vast number, but have not seen these bugs, any input from anyone would be appreciated.

Wifi latency

: Wifi speed will work correctly, using Speed Test, it will ping around 35ms and give me around 6Mbps. However, after use, or a trigger of some kind, the Wifi will ping around 500+ms and will get 0.5Mbps. This can be easily fixed by using the Wifi toggle to turn off and on again.

External Sd Card Write

: SD card works normal, after use however, you lose the ability to write to the card. Any files like video's and music can still be read during this time. It needs a full reboot to work again, a hot boot will not solve the issue. Does not give any unmount/blank/corrupt errors.

Both issues are only happening on this kernel.

screen and bln are not stored. didn't change anything else.

although when i open stweaks after reboot it wants to apply/discard even before i change anything. seems a new setting (smooth scaling) was added and needs to be applied.

Apply it. Then it won't bother you anymore.

Would it be possible to have something like a dropdown list in STweaks which let you choose between 6 CPU steps like now or 16 CPU steps like in prior versions of Siyah Kernel?

Yes, all ROMs for the GT-I9100 have an unlocked bootloader so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RumCoffee:
Thank you for the quick reply. I'm a little confused. The "LOCK" of the bootloader is actually in the ROM? So if I download the Samsung official OTA they still have it unlocked?

Still not familiar with how Samsung has theirs setup. Trying to get a handle on it. I had Sony Ericssons before.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
If a lock is introduced, it would on the primary bootloader (boot.bin) and/or the secondary bootloader (Sbl.bin).

On a protected device, the primary bootloader would check that the secondary bootloader is properly signed by the vendor, and the secondary would check that the kernel is signed as well.

Since none of the bootloader stages include signature checks, you can flash any custom kernel and also change /system to include root, without any limitations.

It would be possible that Samsung could roll out a new rom OTA with more strict bootloaders, although AFAIK there aren't any such limitations at least not on the international I9100.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RumCoffee:
Wow! I actually did get that. Understood. Thank you very much for the patient explanation too.

I was curious only because I'd already ROOTED my NOTE 2 and well... :p it obviously didn't have a locked bootloader.

I always buy ONLY UNLOCKED from factory devices to avoid extra trouble for myself.

SO it all looks very straightforward.

Just open it out the box. Charge it up. DO the OTA update (Hopefully it will be there)

Then install the custom Kernel.

Concerning the Kernel. Have changes been made so that it defaults to putting things on the External SD card?

I see the changes they 'made' with ANDROID 4 series and on my NOTE 2 I either have to change the path on some apps or something or else it defaults to

the 'internal' SD storage.

Just wondering thanks.
