tun.ko is built in the kernel, it is compiled but not as an additional module.

I don't remember any change related with tunneling but maybe there is something else which effects it.

if you can tell me that it works on 3.2.4 and doesn't work on 3.2.5.1 it will help more.

Hi guys.I'm using this kernel for a couple of weeks and I definately noticed the differences between NEAK and this one. I believe that Siyah is the best kernel for S 2 out there. Just have one question.Where can I find any information on how to undervolt the cpu with all the frequences? I found a couple of threads, but I might say that they only work on GB, and I'm using the Slim ICS rom. I believe I can achieve great stats around battery life like that.

So if you can give me some information about undervolting Siyah with all the numbers, I'd be greatful.Thank you, and waiting.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
No need for a PIT file, when going from CM9 to another Rom, just flash with Odin, it may not boot, go into recovery and reset from there, and whenever the ROM boots, if you feel like, do another reset from settings menu for good measure

Can't decipher what you're trying to say with regards to second ROM

Wow, this mdnie thingy is ultra mega giga weird! Me like it! :p

Edit - I have uploaded screenshots, but nothing to see there - changes are not visible in pics. Anyway, GM, this is what I call innovation.;) Do you think it may extend battery life if I'm browsing a lot (browsing via Chrome or Sammy browser makes for about 50% of my phone usage?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
that is the main reason I put that in.

having black background saves a lot of battery while browsing.

and not all browsers support that.

I decided to implement that after reading a comparison today between s3 and htc onex which says browsing on onex may give you more battery life because of LCD display. I am not sure if it is true that s3's screen consumes more with white background but that review will not be valid after I get my s3 :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confusedmuse:
Sorry for OT...

How do you invert the display colors with Tasker? You've made a profile: If one of those apps [...] is running and the proximity sensor is covered, then...? Nice idea btw.

I assume you've also added the exception "not if incoming call".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
GM, please don't do that. His settings are good for him, but not for everybody and definitely in certain scenarios could cause troble. Anyone can apply that settings manually, but default values should (must) be rock solid. My two cents.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerenye:
/sign defaults should be rock solid

eventually it´s possible to set up a profile for extweaks with his settings?!

so we have rock solid defaults and the possibillity to get the settings without experimenting with other programs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomDude:
Siyah (to me) is about pushing forward and advancing the kernel, not having rock solid reliability.

Siyah is a fantasic kernel, but I wouldn't call it a stable kernel (the number of changes made on a day to day basis reflect this).

Either way I thought AndreiLux’s settings were not necessarily unstable, but were removed to troubleshoot the wifi wake delay and not yet returned?

If they can't be returned to the kernel profile (due to stability) then enabling extweaks to set all his parameters would be appreciated - because I have found no negative side effects.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
I never posted my settings for people to mimic them and was actually surprised Gökhan made them default, but I merely posted them because to avoid thousands of questions about my settings (Apparently some people still don't get it and I'm getting 3 PM's a day, I'm no helpdesk). Everybody is free to set them up themselves if they want to. I also only came up with the values by theorycrafting what would be good settings and testing that they don't worsen performance, and they don't, so it can only be an improvement. It's not the holy grail of all settings though.

In any way those settings don't have nothing to do with the lockscreen (Or for that matter cause any problems at all). Apparently the S3 also has a similar issue as far as I've been reading the forums there.

The new SetCPU has the governor tab changed so that it is populated with ALL configurables for ALL governors. It's backwards and forwards compatible with any governor that has its configurables set in the standard device path.

The lower frequencies not being used is a quirk of pegasus and I pointed it out to Gokhan and he will make it configurable, see the dev thread for info. Nothing you can do about it right now as that nonsense is hardcoded into the governor for now.

Pegasusq gives me the best gaming experience so far.

In Pinball Arcade the framerate with ondemand drops frequently.

With pegasusq it's smooth all the time.

What i find strange, it scales the same on both.

Looking at a floating cpu graph, it uses the same frequenzies as ondemand.

But the framerate inside the game is about twice as high.

I hope the frequenzy usage below 500MHz will be fixed soon, as i'd like to use this governor. It doesn't even use 200MHz for me.

500 is min, no matter what i do.

All of the governors can be battery friendly (except for performance) depending on how you tweak it.

Scheduler doesn't really affect battery (if it does, only very little). Just performance. SIO is theoretically the best scheduler for our flash-based-storage phones.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tye:P:
I thought it was only SIO's simplicity that appealed to people with the implication it was more stable because of it. But I'm yet to read anything about people having problems with stability with the schedulers. I'm pretty sure that SIO has a performance penalty at least in read speeds in comparison to the others, based on what I remember reading in the droidphile thread. The NOOP/Deadline schedulers seem to have higher performance with no downside that I've seen so far. CFQ sounds like the common, average & safe bet and probably has something to do with it's inclusion in ROMs and kernels as default, unless it's just familiarity.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgo80:

Great job m8 !

But still laggy on some video (VP8 video codec)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lady_Chloe:
I am using noop, the simplest scheduler of all and it works fine for flash memory, even on my computer. It is also the most cpu friendly. Noop has great usability even on servers. For example, it's the best governor for virtual machines or SAN disks with huge cache. Unless you have a classic spinning disk, schedulers can't help you much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachu01:
Penalty in read speeds? Can you point out where in the code does the performance penalty exist for SIO?

NOOP doesn't have a deadline/expire function for its scheduler that will lead to lags if the process takes too long to complete. It is a bit detrimental if you would your goal is to have a low-latency UI. If you prefer more throughput in a flash drive environment, yes NOOP is technically the fastest.

SIO differs from deadline that SIO takes into account sync and async read/write expires while deadline sets a deadline for read/write and has front_merging capabilities (which isn't useful for flash based drives).

CFQ is much more common as it was built for traditional spindle based hard drives which takes into account contiguous data reads/writes to improve the throughput (again, useless for flash drives). It is common due to most of today's Linux machines being on traditional spindle based hard drives!

Hence, theoretically, disregarding the fact that flash drives have little to no penalties in forward/backward reads, SIO should be the fastest most of the time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Wow excellent explanation pika!! :) thank you!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tye:P:
Thanks for your insights about the schedulers.

I haven't examined any code or anything,

I got the information about the SIO read speed penalty from the droidphile thread. In the scheduler section under SIO it reads:

"Disadvantages:

Slow random-read speeds on flash drives, compared to other schedulers.

Sequential-read speeds on flash drives also not so good."

This is why I brought up the read speed penalty in comparison to the other schedulers. I'm no expert or anything, I'm still trying to learn as much as I can about everything.

I've found Deadline to be more responsive so far, in comparison to SIO and CFQ.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachu01:
Oops, read that too fast that I missed you mentioning droidphile. Actually schedulers bring very little difference in how you determine "speed". The processor isn't going to work any slower with different schedulers (as schedulers basically just assign when tasks get executed). The problem here is latency vs throughput especially when it involves I/O operations.

When you mentioned speed, do you mean speed as in UI responsiveness or transfer speed?

Agreed, and I would also stay away from v(r), I've found it to be very erratic - usually it's really fast then occasionally the phone will hang for a second.

One other thing - don't bother with the Siyah "battery" profile, it will make your phone ridiculously slow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tye:P:
Yeah, I realize that the difference between schedulers isn't that significant at the end of the day. It seems that you could only ever be talking about small differences when discussing them.

I was mainly talking about responsiveness. Although unless the Droidphile thread comments aren't right everything unless it's write related is going to be slower (How much slower is the thing, probably not a lot I'm guessing).

I'm also guessing that most user interaction with their phone is going to be read related, that's why I felt that it was important to bring it up.
