Prior of having my last boot loop, I got a crazy error on ExTweaks, related to "Couldn't read stats" or something. It made all my frequencies go Max and all my settings completely unchangeable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpik:
I had a bootloop.

- no UV

- sio

- pegasus

Seems it was corrupting /data somehow
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samhain77:
Everytime I flash a new kernel I reset my extweaks settings.

I was on the default settings... so no undervolt, default profile, pegasusq as governor and cfq as scheduler

it's started FC everything after I've unplugged it from charger (it stays on charge all night long) and toggle offline mode off.

After FCs I've restarted it and..... bootloop! Tryed to reset extweks value and delete init.d folder from CWM (even if I made no modification)... reflash the kernel but nothing works.... until I restored only DATA partition from nandbackup
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prommindh:
All went well after flashed 3.2.8 then after approx 6 hrs all apps went FC, reverted back to 3.2.7.2 but got bootlooping when reboot (1st rom -sammy base) :eek:

Apparently succeeded to boot to 2nd rom (see my siggy - AOKP base) without any bootloop and all apps are working properly :confused: (Siyah 3.2.7.2)

Using kalpik's method above (thanks) by flashing via CWM and all are are back to work again :D, will try 3.2.8.1 later
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkle:

Second day of 3.2.8 running fine for me, but I shall still flash 3.2.8.2. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
It's not unstable, but I had some wifi problem with it which never before happened.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Here are some my observations related to flashing new 3.2.8 kernel. First of all had no FC/bootloop issues at all. Maybe the reason is that I wiped data what I normally don't do while flashing only kernel (This time I flashed new rom as well). So what I did:

1. Reset Extweaks and cleared init.d folder

2. Flashed new sammy rom XXLPW (before had XXLPS with Siyah 3.2.7.1) together with CF-root kernel at once via mobile odin,

3. Wiped data, cache and Dalvik,

4. Flashed Siyah 3.2.8.

But I faced another issue after that related to dual-booting: after steps 1-3 were done I didn't see my 2nd rom which I had installed before (option to choose 2nd rom while booting disapeared). To overcome this I:

1. removed 2nd rom from dual-boot many in CWM,

2. wiped 2nd rom data/cache and dalvik

3. restored as 2nd rom from nandroid backup which fortunately prepared before.

Then finally everything worked well (don't know if it is a bug or already known issue).

One more observation and I am not sure if it's kernel related issue. When I was using Siyah 3.2.7.1 I noticed a wakelock caused by "UsbStorageUnmountter" process. This process forced "Keep Awake" of my phone after mounting a USB flash drive with a USB OTG cable. After mounting and safely unmounting the drive, my phone stayed awake and drained about 10% battery in an hour with the screen off. Found already the same issues in XDA but only solution mentioned up to now is to be aware of that and after connection/disconnection of flash drive restart the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyLegend:
Since i was the first to report the 3.2.8 issues here i nearly **** my pants :D:D:D

On 3.2.8 I was running

Pegasus

So

No u/v

Stock Siyah gpu settings

A lot of apps fc then boot loop after reflashing rom through cwm. Nandroid restore followed by a data wipe and data restore solved it for me.

About to flash 3.2.8.2 now :D

**edit** all good so far ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:

But I have this error in 3.2.3 and .4 only. there's no such thing in 3.2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
in 3.2.4, consider pegasusq as a governor in beta stage. although it is new (renewed actually) it works quite well for me. I use 200-1200 and I am quite happy with that. previously, I enabled it but I did not inspect the code. then I disabled it because it was a mistake to enable it directly, without disabling the other hotplug logic.

based on andreilux's suggestion, I have made some more settings configurable and also I removed some unused ones.

those changes will make lower frequencies to be used more.

I have also added hotplug governor to v3.2.5 for those who are in love with it.

then we will move to v3.3b1 with BFN :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crisgen:
I apologize with all for my double post but I've discovered this thread only now:o , so pls if some moderator can delete my post in dev section...sorry.

This is my issue:

I have a little and unusual problem with my device since I installed version 3.2.2 and later with 3.2.3.

Before going to bed I put the phone to charge and select the alarm.

The next morning the alarm did not work and time on the lock screen remains stationary since the battery has finished charging.

Just unlock the phone and adjusts itself time and the alarm begins to ring.

it is as if the phone is unable to wake from deep sleep. Sorry, I'm a noob and my english is very bad.

I had thought that the cause could be the default frequencies too low of the versions 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 and then the phone could not get the power needed to resume normal operation....I don't know what mean.

Now I put the 3.1.2 which did not give me any problems but there is someone who has had a similar problem?

The cell is as in signature, and I have already tried to reinstall the rom, various wipes and fix permission.

Sorry again and thx for eventually help about this issue.

EDIT: I see that the 3.2.4 has 200Mhz as min frequency. May be that could solve my problem?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confusedmuse:
Strange... 200MHz is used now. Just have set the min clock again from 100MHz to 200MHz... (tried that before)

But it's used only when the cpu is scaling down.

It looks like this:

1000 - 800 - 500 - 200 - 500 (stays)

1000 - 800 - 500 - 200 -

If only dual-core mode would work...

2 x 200MHz consumes less energy than 1 x 500MHz. (even 1 x 400MHz)

Edit: It goes down to 500MHz single-core only when watching a plain menu.

In my launcher it stays at 500MHz with 2 cores. That's way to much...

I've also had issues with 3.2.8.

CM9 had a lot of app FC's. After removing Root in ExTweaks i was stuck on the CM9 boot animation.

My primary rom (Foxhound) didn't had any issue. :confused:

A data wipe on CM9 has solved it...

Another thing...

Gökhan, why we can't wipe only the 2nd ROM's cache partition?

Sometimes i need to wipe cache + dalvik cache, but there's no way to wipe the 2nd ROM's cache without wiping also its data. :(

Been using the old 3.2.8 perfectly, no bootloops, FCs or anything. Flashed 3.2.8.2, phone booted, played around a little with it, 10mins later Kernel Panic. Rebooted and Kernel Panic again and again at the CM9 boot animation.

Tried what some of the others suggested around here with other problems with these latest versions with wiping data and restoring from a backup but that just gave me FCs non stop, after flashing older kernels too.

GM I have an observation concerning Siyah with Accelerometer, as the picture shows under AOS the Accelerometer is being used for several hours although I am not using display rotation at all (itvos turned off) !!! This is also observed via Cool Tool graph which usually shows 25-35% CPU usage while idle..

Same behavior was observed on Fluxi kernel xx.01. The only kernel which showed few minutes of Accelerometer usage was Abyss 1.2U (sorry for the comparison). This behavior was noticed on several AOKP ROMs like Omega and Foxhound so I believe it is kernel related and unfortunately leads to high AOS activity and battery drain.

Any explanation for that?

Do you really think we haven't been to his website yet? Where do you think did we download the kernel from? Seriously?

There have been some serious problems with 3.2.8.2 that's why people like me aren't sure if they should download it.
