If memory leak was "completely" fixed, it would have been merged in the nightlies. The devs themselves are not sure and they themselves told there are 50494676767 reasons which would cause a memory leak.

Project butter is one of major features in JB and I don't see how that cannot be considered as a bug as there is noticeable lag present in cm10. It's agreeable that it isn't a lag fest but still its a bug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
You very well know the context I was speaking in. I'm speaking of the main leak for the S2 not JB. Yes there are a bazillion reasons why & where a memory leak would occur but those are minor compared to the leak which we have. Those will get fixed bit by bit when discovered. As of now I don't think there is anything major that causes a memory leak.

Also the reason why the commit hasn't been merged yet is because that commit is for all Exynos 4210 devices so the other device maintainers would need to give their +1 as well & if you even bothered to read the comments of the commit you'll find that a maintainer for one of the Galaxy Tab's has asked to hold off merging the commit because he hasn't got around to testing it as he is away.

About Project Butter, the lag that you speak of can't only be attributed to the fact that butter isn't completely implemented on our devices. Just because Google made a presentation & a huge bourah about it so you happen to know how important it is but if you'll didn't know about it then you'd attribute the lag to something else which there is a high possibility of it being. What would you say is the major cause of lags on CM9? Lack of Project Butter?

Every time CM10 lags isn't because Project Butter hasn't been implemented.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshishere:
I'm aware as to why commits are not merged. Smoothness of the rom and project butter are part and parcel of it. I'm sure it'll take hell lot of time for CM10 to be smooth on SGS2.

B/w we're hijacking this thread with OT discussion about cm10 so let's stop this here.

To the Developers of Siyah Kernel: Thanks for developing this amazing piece of software for our phones. Hats off!

I have got a problem though. Orbot (Android Tor) cannot setup transparent proxy if run under Siyah Kernel. With Speedmod Kernel, or the stock one, it works just fine. Can't say if this should go to Orbot team or the Siyah Kernel developers but I am just posting it here.

For regenerating the issue, simply install the latest ICS version of Siyah Kernel on Galaxy S2 GT-I9000 (ICS 4.0.4) and install Orbot. Enable transparent proxying and you'll most probably see what I am seeing, 'Transparent Proxy cannot be enabled'. Re-flash the stock kernel and everything would work as it should.

Thanks for reading.

Little question: I have a second rom running fine, now i upgraded my rom to xwlpx, all fine without wipe or anything (installed with mobile odin), but now kernel didnt see second rom. Files in secondrom folder still there, but kernel says no second rom. Can i import my old second rom? Is there a way to get this running without new install of second rom?

thx

I'm a little disappointed with latest release in terms of wi-fi and battery drain.

Usually I would have a consume around 10% in a half hour (screen on all the time, email sinc on and Web browsing hole time) but 3.2.5.1 give me 10% in a quarter of hour.

Pegasusq is really working in all frequencies. More homogeneous.

But for me is this a best kernel out there yet.

My wi-fi is little poor of signal and take more time to connect than usual.

Do Pegasusq works better with another scheduler than cfq?

Hi, I installed Siyah for the first time today and set up dual booting, problem is I can't get root to work on the second ROM.

My current configuration is Siyah 3.2.5.1. I have CM9 20120522 as my primary ROM and Neat ROM v1.9.1 XWLPD installed as my secondary.

Root is working fine on CM9, on Neat however if none of my root apps work and if I try and update either superuser or #SU they fail when trying to gain root access.

I have installed Extweaks, chose to remove root which it said it had done, but when I chose the option to reinstall root I get a message straight away saying I already have root.

I've also tried SU updater as remember that fixing a similar issue with CM9 a few months back but again it can't get root access.

I even tried downloading the su zip from androids.com and flashing to second ROM in recovery but got installation aborted.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Oh. Are you using MTP or Mass Storage? I don't use this patch, I don't have a SD Card. But a advice: No need to the external sd mounted on the internal sd. That's should be the default. I would prefer just going one folder up and open the /emmc, :)

Go to the Recovery and Reset ExTweaks profile. It will auto-install root. If it doesn't work, try flashing your ROM again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyLegend:
Gokhan... The last time I got slow-mo it was the phone became very unresponsive opening certain apps until eventually they fc'd. I think it might be related to SU as after I rebooted, a few apps were granted SU permissions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runebinder:
I tried resetting the ExTweaks profile, no joy so think I'll try a different ROM as secondary.

Edit: Looks like it must have been the ROM, installed --VK--ICS-XWLPD-V4.8 and root is working fine :)

so far 3.2.5.1+ has very good deep sleep 93%, smooth and fast, but a little more battery drain l think by default settings, maybe some other settings can improve battery like governer, CPU max/min Mhz, battery profile, but l want balance between battery and performance??? Tnx

I've tried using IDLE and it was bad for my battery. Not sure if its related to the wlan/secril wake locks I had due to sync but I ended up with 20% battery loss over 9 hours of sleep with IDLE. Might be due to my aggressive scaling for pegasusq hence evaluate this test with a pinch of salt.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
The thing is gokhan that there does'nt seem to be any fixed pattern so that one can figure out how to reproduce the bug. It apparently looks random. Maybe it could be root permission access caused by SuperSU as some people have reported. It could be an app in the background requesting root permission & SuperSU just failing to respond cause in the past couple of weeks SuperSU has been acting pretty weird.

Could somebody please take a lil time to explain why would IDLE be better than AFTR+LPA cause going by droidpiles post it would seem that IDLE does'nt power any hardware down when screen is off while AFTR does or maybe I mis read it.

that's not implemented in extweaks ; you'll have to use something like voltage control or nstools or setcpu, or anything in that respect...

Siyah 4.1.5 and CM9

Hi Guys, i have tried looking back a few pages and the thread search function isnt working, so i am afraid i have to ask a daft question,

Has anybody ran into the issue of when creating a Nand in Siyah 4.1.5 and it doesnt backup apps on external storage.

Displays: "No /sdcard/.android_secure".

My assumption is because CM9 uses \emmc rather than \sdcard0

Any one else had the issue?

And i apologise if its been asked a thousand times before.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hi,

2nd rom uses following partitions:

/data partition - .secondrom/data.img as mountable img file on sd card

/cache partition - .secondrom/cacha.img as mountable img file (in the same folder)

/system partition in hidden partition: /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

1st rom uses different partitions with one exception: it writes some temporary files (during flashing phase) to system partition of 2nd rom (overwriting system files of 2nd rom). Later on these temporary files are never used) but unfortunately /system partition of 2nd rom becomes corrupted causing - what happened for you - that 2nd rom is lost (no options to choose during boot phase), even /data and /cache partitions are not touched. From my experience - it happens mainly if someone flashes as 1st rom a new stock TAR rom via odin or mobile odin. So, it's very important to make nandroid backup of 2nd rom before updating the 1st one.

Summarizing, possible solutions for you are:

1. the best one - restore nandroid backup of 2nd rom

2. you can try but I didn't test it:

- copy .secondrom folder to safe location, eg PC

- delete 2nd rom from CWM recovery / dual boot options

- wipe 2nd rom data and cache

- wipe 2nd rom dalvik

- flash again your old rom using option: install zip to 2nd rom from internal or external sd card

- replace /.secondrom folder with the one saved previously

Need help with Siyah v4.1.5 to protect my S2 and Tab7.7 against 4.0.4 superbrick bug

Today I had my first two contacts with Siyah kernel and need some help, please.

1. Installation on my S2

1.1 Siyah-s2-v4.1.5: To protect my S2 against the 4.0.4 superbrick bug I flashed Siyah-s2-v4.1.5-CWM.zip over 4.0.4 stock I910XWLPW on my S2 using CWM.

First I flashed CWM_v5.8.1.5.zip which I already had on my sdcard and then I used this CWM to flash Siyah-s2-v4.1.5-CWM.zip from the sdcard. All went smoothly. After reboot settings show kernel-version 3.0.15-Siyah-s2-v4.1.5+. So, I guess, Siyah kernel installation on the S2 went well..

1.2 CWM Manager v3.15: After Siyah kernel installation I find CWM Manager v3.15 among the apps. Is this correct? Shouldn't it be CWM 6.0.0.1 ?

1.3 Problem with Ntfs capability: I could not verify the NTFS feature from the feature list: "NTFS automounting for USB sticks. When you plug in an NTFS formatted USB flash it will be automatically mounted to /mnt/ntfs folder" It did not work as listed.

When I plug in an NTFS formatted USB disk then I get the notification "erase usb-storage" (my translation of the german notification message) and /mnt/ntfs is empty. When I re-activate the NTFS Mounter 0.5 app, then, as expected, I get the same notification but /sdcard/usbStorage/UsbDriveA/ hast the 2TB NTFS formatted USB disk ready for read and write useage! So, Siyah's NTFS feature does not work in my configuration. or I misunderstood the feature description?

1.4 With Siyah kernel v4.1.5+ and CWM Manager v3.15, am I now fully protected against the 4.0.4 superbrick bug? Am I now allowed to do all CWM wipes and a settings factory reset without getting the superbrick bug? I may need it soon to make the S2 ready to send it back to Samsung for dead pixel repair.

2. Same CWM based installation of Siyah-s2-v4.1.5-CWM.zip on my Tab 7.7 P6800 failed!

Beginning of September I used Mobile Odin Pro to update my Tab7.7 from 4.0.3 LQ1 to 4.0.4 P6800XALQ2.

Today, on my Tab7.7 I used CWM v6.0.1.1 (I guess I got it from using Mobile Odin Pro before) to install Siyah-s2-v4.1.5-CWM.zip from sdcard. Installation went well but on reboot Siyah kernel did not start. Finally I had to restore my last Nandroid backup back to 3.0.15-P6800XXLQ2. What went wrong? Should I have used a special Siyah-P6800-CWM.zip? If so where can I get it?

Please help me and excuse my bad english!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Some answers:

1. Yes, you are "safe". But I don't know about the NTFS feature.

2. Don't flash a kernel for the SGS2 to another device. It won't work, as you already recognized. You have to look for a kernel in the device-specific forum for the P6800.

BMW Pro alarm wakelock

Hi guys,

I am running Wanam 12.6 and updated with Siyah 4.1.5 kernel. (I was running Wanam 12.6 and Speedmod K3-31)

I haven't changed any app or setting and I noticed that BatteryMonitorWidget Pro is giving me alarm wakelock in BBS. The alarm is triggerd every minute.

I have checked the settings of BatteryMonitorWidget Pro and it is still set to "History update every 10 minutes".

What have I already tried:

- Fresh install of ROM and Siyah kernel and still BBS alarm every minute

- Reinstalled BatteryMonitorWidget Pro and still BBS alarm every minute

- checked/unchecked Extweaks Android Logger and still BBS alarm every minute

- checked/unchecked Extweaks Discrete Wakelock Stats and still BBS alarm every minute

After this test I have reloaded Speedmod K3-31 and the alarm in BBS is back to every 10 minutes.

Any hints? I have attached my BBS dump with Siyah 4.1.5.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zytrel:
With Siyah kernel BatteryMonitorWidget defaults to a different mA retrieval method, which queries the kernel values every minute regardless of the configured interval.

You can force the old behavior by changing "BMW settings -> Monitoring -> mA retrieval method" from automatic to estimated.

Actually I think that the kernel may have something to do with it, but it is so random, it is very difficult to track down, I have even looked at logs after I get a signal drop and couldn't find anything

I have tested with Siyah 4.1.5 Kernel and I have gotten the signal drop, I have tested with Dream Kernel 2.7.4+ (Siyah Derivative) and I have gotten the signal drop but I have never gotten the signal drop with Speedmod and by extension Phenomenal, and I have not changed Modem or Rom during all of this testing , in fact I have not changed my Rom setup/apps for a couple months, and the RIL version does match the modem, and I never use any clock speed under 200MHz

i have to slightly differ with u over here ma8, hope u wont mind, since i am sharing my experience.i am using kernel's like Siyah, speedmod,Dream etc for a long time and havent seen the same (Kernel) influencing the issue of signal drops, rather the 'RIL' and 'Modem' are playing there role here.

sometimes we have to match the 'RIL' with our exsisting 'Modem' and some times the other way around:)

I do have signal drops but they are rare, which makes it even more frustrating. I looked at the logs (also "logcat -b radio") and didn't find anything catching my eye.

When you flash a rom, it also flashes whatever kernel is included with the rom so you'll need to reflash siyah via Odin or CWM again.

What rakeshishere said is related to flashing a rom as the 1st one but if you flash a rom as the 2nd a kernel will not be flashed (you will keep your current one). Regards

Edit: There are some possibilities also to not flash a kernel when you flash a rom as the 1st one:

- for TAR rom files: use mobile odin and after loading a rom file to the app - clear kernel partition field.

- for ZIP rom files: modify updater-script or just delete zImage file from an archive.
