if u are on the 3.2.6 don't forget to remove root from extweaks and then reboot but i think that 3.2.5.2 is battery friendly enough and it works better :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_Oncle_Bob:
So, back to 3.2.5.2, with all setcpu tweaks from 3.2.6 and no more bug !

Wifi connect instantly, no more freeze when unlock.

A simple question (sorry about beeing a noob ^^ )

What is "freq for responsiveness" ?

I set min freq to 200Mhz (i have some issues with 100Mhz), so must i set this value (freq for responsiveness) to 100Mhz or 200Mhz ? or anything else?

thx ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabx:
I do think like you, and not so happy with 3.2.6 battery life. I will keep a litle bit longer to make a final judgement, but 3.2.5.2 and its superuser force install is the last very good kernel for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeuchtVonLipwig:
i have the same problems with waking up the phone as it takes a lot of time to respond to my reaction, and wifi doesn't want to connect a lot of times, but it seems like a lot of people have this problems. i hope for a fix or have to flash back to 3.2.5.2.

will BLN with deep sleep be re-added? It was working as intended but removed..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim-bo:
If you mean BLNWW, BLN Without Wakelocks, then it was never working as intended.

It was causing a constantly increased power drain, even when disabled, or when there was no alert. Basically, with it in the kernel, the deep sleep / idle power consumption for every phone was massively increased.

It only saved battery life if you had alerts on and running for a large percentage of the time. For people who didn't have the lights on most of the time, it used more power than straight BLN.

SWAP ROM Problem

I use Siyah 3.2.6.

I want to Swap my 1st and my 2nd rom. but i can't do it because it said that I don't have enough free space (3,26 GB).

I just got my first smartphone mid december and started rooting this week, so forgive me if I have a few noob moments.

On that note, since XDA wont let me post in the actual dev thread, does anyone know where I can access/get the wallpapers from the Alliance v5.1 rom? Ive gone through every folder i could think of on root-explorer and no luck!

Dual Boot External SD Card reading

Hey all, I have just recently installed Siyah Kernel v5.0.1 and dual booting AOKP as 1st rom and MIUI as 2nd rom.

Noticed only the 1st rom recognises the external sd card (file explorer, music player) and not the 2nd rom (i.e. I can't open files located on my external sd card through the 2nd rom but can on the 1st rom).

Is there any way I can get both roms to read the external sd card?

Issue seem to resolve itself after reboot

Edit: Sorry guys issue actually resolved itself after reboot and waiting several minutes for apps to recognise sd card (for some reason takes longer than 1st rom).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Try following:

1. reflash kernel

2. flash another kernel (just to compare)

3. re-flash rom without wipe

If this doesn't help:

4. re-flash rom with full wipe

Make nandroid backup before

Notice that: if you are on Siyah6b4/Sammy JB leaked rom then make nandroid backup on the latest PhilZ kernel coz Siyah doesn't backup /preload partition.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

When I was on 5.0.1 with dual-booting have never had this kind of problem from 2nd rom.

Hi Hakann,

Just check for any difference between the phones that could cause your problems:

- are ROM and version the same?

- are both modem and RIL the same?

- are clockspeeds and voltage settings of CPU and GPU the same?

- are (system)settings the same?

- do they have the same bootloader?

- have they both got the same apps installed?

- have you checked if the hardware is the same?

Have you tried making a Nandroid backup of the good phone and restoring it on the bad one?

Lots of questions, but it is always good to do a systematic check for differences when comparing two phones.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAKANN:
Hey,

Thanks for helping me.

Well my both phones are all the same! (such as the system settings, the stweaks, voltages) everything are all the same..)

About the nandroid backup. This just makes backup of only apps right? so that would even take a effect?

My 2 devices doesn't have difference, like what you said about bootloader, apps, hardware .. I intalled the rom+ kernel both each on same time.

I think i need to wait for a new version of the custom rom and update it and look if there is still the problem..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
If you need a complete backup of your XXLSJ based system, then you should flash PhilZ-cwm6 kernel v3.99 and create a nandroid backup with preload partition in its CWM recovery. You have to enable the option to include the preload partition in CWM menu (soemwhere in PhilZ kernel settings) before creating the backup.

Then you can re-flash SiyahKernel again.

For the restoring of that backup, you can flash it in CWM recovery and then only have to flash SiyahKernel ... and you will have your current system restored.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
It's in CWM recovery menu under "backup and restore" ... there must be a "toggle preload" option somewhere.

I'm currently in a battery test and can not boot into recovery to check the correct menu item.

If you have flashed PhilZ-cwm6 v3.99 then boot into recovery and have a look in "backup and restore". It's there ... I'm sure as I have already enabled preload partition and created a nandroid backup with preload.

EDIT:

I've found it.

It's in "Backup and Restore" > "Misc Nandroid Settings" > "Toggle /preload processing".
