Yes, it will work with most of the roms. It will not work only with sense4all rom and latest CM10 roms which have new mali drivers implemented, however Dev is gonna fix it soon. But when you flash later a new rom in classic way (via CWM or odin) it will replace current kernel with a kernel provided with the rom. If you like Siyah you will have to flash it again afterwords unless a new rom incudes it already.

Hi all,

the signal drop happened to me few times already with different versions of siyah. last time happened 1/2 hour ago. i also get the message to insert the sim to get connection to the network. a reboot fixes the issue.

i had this signal drop with 3 different modems (LQ5, LQ6 and BVLP7) and 2 versions of siyah kernel (4.0.4 and 4.1.4). the rest was unchanged (stock ROM and same apps). it never happened with stock kernel.

so, though it seems that kernel doesn't affect the network connection, there must still be some relation with the changes that GM made in the newer kernel releases.

unfortunately i don't have any logs, so no debugging is possible...

cheers

I have been facing the same issue with almost all versions of siyah except a few. Its like you will lose the signal and later if you try to search the network you give the message that 'sim not inserted. I thought I was the only one with this issue.

Unfortunately XX branch is not very popular with DEVs so there are much more custom roms, mods or themes based on XW or even UH branches than XX.

Most of us compare XX with XW and other roms by changlist number but I think they should be treated separately, within own branches.

I meant only that at the time being Siyah kernel by Gokhanmoral can't boot roms like latest CM10 or JB 4.1.1 Supernexus B4 which have new Mali drivers implemented, but Dorimanx kernel can (and this is the fact). I didn't mean that Dorimanx is good or bad especially that I have never used it (maybe I should). That's whole history.

I can install the kernels but it only went so far as the Kernel's Logo then the phone just blanks out - then I'd have to restore via Recovery mode or Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
It behaved as expected. Super nexus is now based on build 4. Siyah isn't compatible yet. You could try an earlier version of super nexus..or any ICS ROMs or JB ROMs not based on the latest cm10 release or aosp / aokp build 4. If you want those, you'll have to use the stock cm10 kernel or dorimanx for now. In both cases, you'll lose dual booting capability.

You mean newest cMIUI 2.10.12, if yes it's based on newest CM10 which has new mali drivers implemented. According to cMIUI thread you can run this rom on modified Siyah 4.1.5 or Dorimanx 7.1 but none of these kernels will allow dual booting.

In shorter words: dual booting for roms with new mali drivers is not supported yet by any kernel.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
and patching a kernel with new mali drivers takes only 1-2 line of command... it only requires to cherrypick a commit from cm10 kernel and that's all...

but I will not do that and break dual booting because it is the main feature of this kernel.

I didn't know none of the kernels support dualbooting with samsung and new mali-patched cm10 roms.

I thought at least one of the active devs would port my changes in S3 to have two different mali drivers in a single kernel.

anyway.. v1.7 release for S3 will be ready soon and I will have a spare s2 if I receive my new toy by then...

If a kernel supports dual boot it supports only ICS/JB (with old mali), it doesn't support roms with new mali at all - it even will not boot single rom.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hi, I agree that there is no golden solution neither for roms nor kernels, everything is dependant on what you expect from it, how you configure it and how it behaves on your phone coz every phone (piece of hardware) is unique.

So I can only provide you with my subjective opinion.

As far as kernel for ICS/JB (with old mali drivers) is concerned I'm a user of Siyah kernel for some months and I'm really satisfied. I focus more on battery live than performance so I applied my my kernel's settings accordingly and getting quite good results.

I heard also many opinions that Dorimanx kernel is a good choice with even more tweaks than Siyah but I've never tried it.

But of course what I would advice you for best choice of a kernel is:

1. Reading kernel's thread and based on users' opinion choose temporarily a few of them for yourself

2. Decide what you expect from your kernel, prepare your initial configuration, ask users specific question to the configuration (if you have any open issues on that)

3. Test the kernels on your own rom, choose the best one and depending on results finetune your configuration.

Done

The last version of CM10 that worked properly with Siyah 4.1.5 was 20121001 in case anyone is interested.

Dual boot is extremely useful for me since the other ROM I run is CM9, because it supports UK Orange Signal Boost (UMA calling) and I work in several places where there is absolutely no mobile network coverage.

Hi guys,

Can someone please help me with ex tweaks?

I cant for the life of me manage to get 16 steps on CPU working, even though its set to 16 its still only actually using the default 5 steps.

Can anyone help please :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Sorry for asking question instead of providing an answer - I always do that if someone doesn't provide sufficient information to help him :):

- what do you mean by that: 16 steps are not working

- do you have all 16 freq listed in the file sys>devices>system>cpu>cpu0>cpufreq>scaling_available_frequencies

- how did you find out that you phone is using only 5 steps (maybe by observing real time usage with for example Voltage Control, SetCPU etc apps?)

- did you use defualt scaling freq reange? If yes it's obvious that only freq from this range will be used (freq step counts are only potential freq to be used by CPU but only within MIN and MAX scaling frequencies)

- what governor are you using and is it properly configured to use all required freq?

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
lol that's cool, I really appreciate your help :)

1. I mean that I set CPU step count in ExTweaks to: 16 (all available) but when I use ROM Toolbox and use my phone the displayed CPU frequencies only ever jump between the default 5 steps.

2.Yes when I look under "sys-devices-sysytem-cpu-cpu0-cpufreq-scaling_available_frquencies" I can see all frequencies from 1600 to 100 listed

3. I discovered it's only using 5 steps when I go into ROM Toolbox and move screen etc it only jumps between the default 5 frequencies.

4.My min and max frequncies are set at 200mhz and 1000mhz but this should still give me 9 steps, right?

5. I'm using Pegasusq governer and I havn't changed it from stock Siyah configuration.

Thank you so much for you help it's really appreciated! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
No problem mate, we are here to help each other. So, now I see, we are limited to 9 freq. As I wrote that what frequencies and when are used by CPU is triggered by governor. You are using pegasusq - the same as mine. When you open the link from my sig you will find there some screenshots, look at the last one showing CPU history. If you like it, you can use flashable zip file with governor's configuration, but it is for 100 - 1000 MHz frequency scaling range. So either change your Min scaling freq to 100MHz or you would have to configure your settings manualy which would fit to your scaling range. Very helpful for that would be thread of Droidphille (link in my post I mentioned). Regards and good luck
