In the 5.0rc1 kernel, there is no option to change the cpu governor in the stweaks app.

Why is it so??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
A few governors left only in the kernel - then GM decided that this option is not necessary.

You can use other app like SetCPU or Voltage Control or init.d script.

When having the phone, i9100, in power-saving mode, the screen does not dim before I lock the device. But, when the phone is not in power-saving mode, the screen dims before it locks. Is there a way to prevent this?

noticed v5.0rc1 doesn't allow to choose cpu steps anymore, am forced to use all frequencies, bit of a pain as I now have to find the lowest voltage settings for the new steps, wondering if anyone can help me here, i used to run:

200mhz - 825mv

500mhz - 925mv

800mhz - 950mv

1000mhz - 1050

1200mhz - 1150

1400mhz - 1250

anyone used similar and can they tell me what they've used for 300,400,600,700,900, 1100 and 1300mhz?

Also where have the 25mv intervals gone in the gpu voltages?

for those i'm using:

66mhz - 800mv

100 - 800

160 - 850

200 - 850

267 - 900

and tips there would be welcome as well as I've had to change them around now

voltage control tells me that the 300mhz frequency isn't being used at all, not even a second, any reason why? It's currently at 850mv

Siyah v5.0rc2

Does someone know, what's the reason, that the rc2 works on a few devices and on the other there are freezes? Is this only a matter of luck, or does it depend on maybe different revisions of hardware the i9100's are built with?

Ok, maybe a noob question, but I'm curious :D

Thanks a lot!

Klaus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miesa:
Not all hardware are identical. Never managed to isolate what the issue really is but if your phone works with the revised GPU steps then you're one of the lucky ones. Gokhan's S2 worked with the different steps. My phone doesn't like the different GPU freqs. His plan is to have an option to enable / disable these different frequencies in his final release which is really cool of him. Those who can use em can enable the feature. He could just very well ignore this feature as most can't use em anyway.

Anyway sorry I didn't exactly answer your question in full. It's a matter of luck. The kernel works for i9100 and not the other revisions like i9100g or whatnot but the components inside our phones may be slightly different... no idea whether the ROM affects it or not tho. I don't think anyone established that but I can't be sure. I could never follow the thread when too many people are whining rather than reporting issues properly.

You're not noob considering you read the release notes and know it will not work in some devices. The real noobs are the ones who use RC2 and complain on Dev thread saying it's not working.

Rc2 works great for me and I'm on cm10. It crashed on boot twice then i managed to get into extweaks and bumped all voltages by 50mv and it is stable now.

Gokhan i don't know if your bothered as so many people are ignoring your warnings about rc2 but maybe u could bump the voltages higher and people might actually be able to use the new gpu steps and get past the boot screen. If not I'll definitely stick to rc2 as its perfect for me.

Hopefully i will see your great work again when galaxy s4 comes out!

I just can't understand you guys that keeps reporting the same stuff hundreds of times and don't do nothing else.

You guys have the extraordinary ability to break the most simple xda rules...

I would have hundreds of words of all levels of angry to say to you guys, I'm so mad of the way you use this forum.

Actually I have a mix of angry and funny. It's so unbelievable the way you keep repeating the instability of rc2 that i must say I found funny in a moment. It would be funny if wasn't ridiculous.

If you guys didn't report the EXPECTED result (instability) may be Gokhan could see that there were people in which this release worked. Also some people that worked partially. May be he could see that. And so, may be he improved more things and keeped the work.

I congratulate you guys. You were responsible for the dev threads close and problably to the last release become faster and with less improvements. Congrats.

Just spamming development thread with information which was already obvious for him and just frustrated him not giving him any new information which would be usefull for further steps of development of the kernel. As Gokhanmoral stated while releasing RC2 on some devices this kernel might be unstable, so he rather (it's my guess) expected reports from users for which RC2 worked (what worked, on what rom, under what circumstances etc).

This is just my understanding.

Siyah v5.0RC2

So far with Siyah-S2 v5.0RC2, I have not had any problems at all. When I flashed RC2, I reset extweaks and ensured that I didn't have any scripts in init.d. I did use NenaMark2 for some tests and this is how I worked out that I need 1100mv for 330MHz. I have also not experienced the phone rebooting while on or off the charger.

So the settings that work for my phone are:

Siyah-S2 v5.0RC2 with settings reset to default

Mali Touch Boost Disabled

dark screen after reverting to 4.1.5 from 5.0 on SGS2

I run the kernel 5.0 on my SGS2 (I9100) and I got very tired of its MTP problems and therefore I wanted to go back to siyah 4.1.5, but I can't: when I flash 4.1.5 from CWM recovery I get black screen after rebooting, immediately after the Siyah logo and the phone is stuck or shut down (I can't tell the difference).

I tried numerous tricks after flashing 4.1.5 from CWM recovery: fix permissions, reset Extweaks profiles, wipe cache and dalvik and none of them helped. The only think I could do in this situation was to boot into recovery again and flash again 5.0 which works with the below mentioned MTP problems. Note that before first upgrading to 5.0 I was happily running without problems 4.1.5. My ROM is Resurrection Remix 3.1.1.

The MTP problems I have with 5.0 are:

- often the computer does not see the phone connected via USB. I went into ExTeaks and forced MTP mode which improves this problem, but does not eliminate it completely.

- even when the computer sees the phone and its sd card, the content of the folders on sdcard as seen from PC is obsolete! Forcing MTP mode did not help here. For example I go and add files into folders using a file explorer on the phone, then connect the phone to PC and for the case when the PC sees the phone, it shows me the old content of the changed folders on the phone! This never happened before siyah 5.0.

Please help me and tell me how can I switch back to 4.1.5.

Thank you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
This is the same error I have seen and is related with the additional GPU frequencies which many devices simply don't handle well.

From what I see on the changelog, it appears the final version will have a configuration to activate the extra frequencies or not and therefore will work on all devices provided you don't activate that on yours, just like me.

For now, you'll need to go back to the previous version (rc1), which doesn't have extra GPU frequencies.

I have been trying Siyah 5.0rc1 for a while. Works flawlessly with CM9. With CM10 I am having random crashes. The phone seems to freeze when I turn the screen on, particularly after deep sleep.

Looking forward to the final release!

Roberto, could you please explain this vpll thingy in layman terms? :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
I am not roberto but I will try :)

in s2, mpll is used as mali clock source.

and it limits us to some fixed freq steps.

I tried to use vpll (as in s3) in one of the betas back in 4.0 but it didn't work on some devices.

and I removed it from the kernel. but in v5.0rc2 I put it back...

that is why most of the people complained about the instability because they didn't read before they write...

with vpll we have 330, 440 and 520MHz steps (more is possible but even 520 is not stable on most of the devices)

so, in v5.0, the default steps are: 66-108-160-267-330

you will have an option to disable it if it is not stable on your device.

but with the latest hack that I commit today, it will be stable on most of the devices.

robertobsc's device was rebooting automatically in deep sleep, and now it is working perfectly well with vpll mode.
