At least your honest and forward :) ...that is a very noobish question.

Search function is totaly part of the rom, and probably since you flashed a new rom, it's back to default settings.

Just activate the search function, press menu (left button) and settings and check everything you want to be searchable.....:)

1. could be the fuelgauge chip acting up (sometimes happen after flashing annd keeps the system awake

Just reset in extweaks, and charge to full. Reboot a fresh reboot after that should put everything back to normal

2. if you have installed 'Update me' app as part of resurrection, disable it. It got me some sleepless nights too (...I mean the phone, not me personal..)

3. besides that there are other apps that can cause ocasional wakes, but you can best trace those with BetterBatteryStats

few notorius examples: facebook app, latitude location function, or even being logged in to latitude, samsungs bloatware

You'll have to decide for yourself waht you really need to use and what to disable

Just letting you know I have had this for all v3 versions of Siyah on 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 stock roms. I'm not sure if it is Siyah's fault as some have this error but other's don't. This issue still persists on v4.0.1 for me btw. I have heard this mentioned a few times but don't remember an explanation or a fix sorry!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
:confused: TBH I have never noticed situation that after flashing a new kernel /hidden partition is overwritten. What I recognized (and you of course as well because some time ago you responded to my question) that while flashing a stock rom (not kernel) via odin (having already dualbooting set up) it stores system files to hidden partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 as well as some temporary files (mainly CSC related) to another hidden partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 which is asigned for the 2nd rom's system partition. It causes overwriting this partition and needs then 2nd rom to be restored from nandroid even .secondrom folder (containing /data and /cache) is untouched. While flashing a kernel only /boot partition is written, isn't it? Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bland.life:
I think the flash/flicker I've experienced with 4.0.1 on locking screen might be something with Siyah 4.0.1 and Widgetlocker.

Now on cm9 stable.

When locking screen from the homescreen i can see it quickly switch to the PIN lockscreen then Widgetlocker then black out.

That makes the locking seems slower.

Tinkering with Widgetlocker Experimental options makes the switching of the 2 lockscreens faster.

On Siyah 3.5.2 it blacks out immediately.

When locking from Widgetlocker it blacks out immediately.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
It's exactly as you say.

I'm not sure whether a "/hidden" *partition* or *mount point* exists, I just called it that way because the rom tar contains a file called hidden.img - with CSC related stuff like swype, polaris office, ... - and that is written in mmcblk0p12 which is used by Siyah as the /system for the 2nd rom.

It is mounted on the first startup of the stock rom, and AFAIK never used again after that initial setup.

Since files under /sdcard/.secondrom are not touched by this flash, an advanced nandroid restore of the 2nd rom's system partition (back to mmcblk0p12) is sufficient to have it back working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Exactly, but I have started to wonder about this issue and posted my question to you after you wrote in your previous post "a kernel" not "a rom"

Guys, I'm having a little headache about this getril app and problems connected. I have nelp2 modem, which in my area with h3g reaches 1 or 2 bars and is by far the only one that reaches this results. Getril says I have an incompatible xxlpw ril. Since I don't want to change modem, which ril can I install using that app which is compatible with my modem? :s sorry if I misunderstood something, I just don't get it...is there a specific thread maybe?

TIA and have a nice day

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
It's not a

MUST

to have matching modems and RIL libs. In your case, you're using and older modem and a newer RIL lib, and these two are not that far apart, so chances are good that they are compatible ( RIL lib contains all functions that the older modem needs ).

SO.......if before you new of the existance of the GetRIL app, everything was working fine and still is.......why worry about it?

It would be different if you had a much newer modem installed and had an old RIL lib, which may be missing some of the newer functions....:)

So if you're not experiencing any problems at all with your reception/mobile-data-speed/reliabilty/etc. , just leave it like it is. :good:

sorry i know its a noob question but apart from playing games, what is the advantage of having high gpu or not undervolting them.. because i dont play games in my s2, what can i gain from it? does it make transitions smoother or something like that?? in other words, what is the gpu for except for the games??

i hope no one flame me.. xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
1) yes, everything is separate on both the ROMs.

2) yes again, use TB or GO backup which is free.

No deep sleep on bln period.

Seems to be an issue with siyah kernel & certain stock firmware versions although no one really knows why.

Basically it's the same architecture which has been modified a bit for improved clock speed & performance afaik so it shouldn't be an issue. Besides unless your a hardcore gamer who plays games like COD on the phone for hours together your phone isn't going to constantly run on the highest gpu freq or even going to use the gpu for that matter. The only issue you will face is insane battery drain.

You could use it to save some battery.

When you have any animation at your phone (transition pages for example) the gpu is used. It requires a bit process 108 MHz works for it. But you can put 50MHz before 108. In moments that aren't animations (if you are reading something in browser for example) the gpu would stay at 50 and save battery.

Just pay attention to configure thresholds correctly.

I have uploaded beta3 to http://d-h.st/users/siyah/testing and I am now using that one on my wife's phone without any problems.

I doubt people having problems with that one is using old bootloader or maybe their device cannot handle those gpu changes for some other reason that I don't know.

and FYI, her phone can handle 440MHz only with 1250mV stably (nenamark can run without any problems several times)

but I set 108-160-266-330 (defaults) to make sure there is no problems. she has been using her phone with that settings for about 2 days without a single unexpected reboot.

Upgrading 1st ROM on dual boot

Noob question here:

I am now running Siyah 4.0 with dual-boot, 1st ROM being stock 4.0.4 XWLPT and 2nd codeworx´s CM10 Experimental. So far, very happy.

Upgrading 2nd ROM is just flashing over and over but what about upgrading 1st with stock when available?

In my imagination options are:

a. Flash stock complete package and then Siyah, both via Odin, expecting Siyah to recognize 2nd ROM and allowing access hassle-free;

b. Remove kernel image from stock package and flash it via CWM Recovery, thus keeping both ROM´s and untouched Siyah Kernel, expecting Siyah to recognize both ROM´s.

Non-wipe on both cases(except Dalvik, maybe).

Should any of these work OK? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to use the system/xbin busybox instead of the one inside Siyah Kernel?

I know that with 4.1beta4 busybox has been updated to the latest busybox, but I'd rather use the system version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
It will work but not as expected:)

a. When you install stock rom (TAR file) via odin it will overwrite /ststem partition of 2nd rom so you will lise it from dualbooting. Solution for that is making nandroid backup of 2nd rom before and restore it after.

b. It is not possible to flash stock rom via CWM recovery because Samsung releases its roms as TAR files. You can remove kernel part of a rom package (using eg. mobile odin) but it will not help you with the issue explained at para a.

My opinion is this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
I wasn't precise enough.

Download "ThunderBolt-CWM screenstate_scaling addon v2.0.2.zip" from the 2nd post and open it.

If you edit system/etc/init.d/S98screenstate_scaling you'll see something like this:

(while [ 1 ];
do

AWAKE=`cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake`;
if [ $AWAKE = "awake" ]; then
sleep 2 && echo [U]xxx_governor_xxx[/U] > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor;

# Other changes to perform when the screen is turned ON will go here
...
AWAKE=;
fi;

SLEEPING=`cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_sleep`;
if [ $SLEEPING = "sleeping" ]; then

sleep 2 && echo [U]yyy_governor_yyy[/U] > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor;

# Other changes to perform when the screen is turned OFF will go here
...
SLEEPING=;
fi;
done &);

When the script is executed it will keep the infinite loop running in the background ("&" in the bottom) so it won't just run once during startup but rather continue running.

And the 2 "cat ... wait_for_..." instructions block until that state is reached, and therefore it won't interfere with deep sleep nor consume CPU other than when the screen changes.

Note that this is for screen OFF/ON transitions, not for deep-sleep / waked-up (which doesn't make sense as in deep sleep nothing is being done and therefore it's irrelevant what was the active governor).
