actually fixing permission didn't change anything. i still have both problems.

can somebody help out?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
1. I am on Siyah 4.1beta4 and jkay 14.1 too but can't reproduce your problem. For me everything works as should be. Actually after installing jkay framework auto brightness option works in different way than without. Now you don't have classic sliding bar going up or down depending on LUX value but you have 5 auto brightness levels:

1st: if lux value<15

2nd: if 15<lux value<150

3rd: if 150<lux value<1500

4th: if 1500<lux value<15000

5th: if 15000<lux value.

While light intensity changes you sliding bar will not change but levels. Within each level you can manually adjust them according to your needs for screen brightness.

Just to be sure that your light sensor works properly dial *#0*# in a dial pad and choose sensors/light sensor.

2. It is correct. Recently feature"Install root" was removed by GM (probably in siyah 3.5.2 when SuperSU was implemented instead of Superuser). So, just to reinstall root now: check "Auto-install root", click "Remove root", reboot, done. BTW, how often do you reinstall root that you don't like this feature to force you rebooting a phone?

Seems that matching ril solve the cellular loss problem, however still quite a lot of rild crash dumpstste files per day, flashed back to 3.2.7.2 for no rild crash stability.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuniel:
well, thanks a lot. i indeed tried a former version (3.5.2) and i had the chance to install root.

my problem is that for work i have an app that check whether su is not present to allow me to connect to the exchange servers of my company, so i really like the possibility to remove/re-install root. not that i install it so often, i just thought that, as in the op is mentioned that you can reinstall, i had something wrong :)

as for the brightness issue: i do believe that my sensor is working properly. i checked with the dialer code you gave me and it is correctly showing levels and lux. my problem is that the brightness bar does not (always) update itself, while the brightness does. I mean i see that my screen gets dimmer or brighter, but sometimes (i don't know yet what is the trigger, for example now it works!) the bar doesn't change.

i see that the level change, but with stock kernel, if i enable the sliding bar, i could adjust the brightness for each level. now the level doesn't change. I'm going to restore a backup without vertumus theme and see if the problem lies there...

thanks for your response, btw.

cheers

..I think it's like GM indicated yesterday, some (new) kernel symbols has been modified in a few new version (probably relating to the new gpu freq. steps) and these carried the named level.xxxxx, and we needed the third one to use for the touch freq (that's the awk...$3...part)

And now apparently in the new situation there are only 2, so if you slect the third (which is nothing), it gives the error you received (you have to supply at least one value). The one we need is indeed the one named level.2xxxx, which is why the other option shirabiso suggested should be in the right direction (although I think you should test it with adb or terminal emulator first, part by part and see it gives the right result...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
I wasn't clear enough, sorry. what I meant is that there are problems on CM based ROMs in general regarding OTG - it works partially. Sometimes you have to do some workarounds, such as disabling USB Mass Storage app, and even when you enable OTG, it will not detect as much devices as Samsung ROMs. At least that is my experience so far - when I attach one particular mouse, it gets detected in stock Sammy 4.0.3, but not on my second RR Remix 4.0.4 ROM. This is just one example - same kernel, two different ROMs, two results.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuniel:
Hi Many40,

sorry if i come back on this.

for the brightness issue, i double checked:

i went back to a nandroid backup without Vertumus theme and still i have the problem (with Siyah 4.0.1)

i changed the Kernel (CF-root LPG) and i don't see the issue

i narrowed down the problem: in case i enable the sliding bar to ajdust the auto-brightness levels, if i am on level 0 and go to level 1 (and back) it works, but as long a i go to an higher brightness level, it doesn't.

the brightness of the panel is adjusted, but on Siyah the level is not updated correctly, so if i try to adjust the auto-brightness with the bar, i can only adjust the former level.

it is nothing i can't live with, only a minor glitch (infact if i disable and then enable the bar again, it shows the correct level), it is just annoying.

regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Sorry to say that but I can't reproduce your problem (but of course understand it). I'm on NeatRomLite UHLPS/Jkay14.1.1/Siyah4.1beta4. I just checked if my brightness levels in jkay change according to light intensity and yes, they do. I managed to achieve maximum 3rd level (about 500 lux value) - it's quite cloudy today :). So brightness levels chenged for me well between three levels (1 - 3) and back based on current light intensity.

You said that changing kernel from Siyah to CF-root helped. Could you flash Siyah 4.1beta4 and see if it will be any difference?

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuniel:
same story with 4.1. beta6 (i didn't download beta4, sorry).

i'll flash stock UHLPS and give a go, maybe a fresh flash helps. i don't want to wipe data, though, because i don't want to go back to my company's IT helpdesk....

Please check my updated thread with the CM10 issue solved.

The problem under CM10 was due to some chars like ' ( ) being present in the script comments. Turns out that busybox on CM10 is more picky with it and that's why it didn't work.

There's now a flashable CWM zip without those problems and more examples built-in.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuniel:
last post on the brightness issue :)

i tried UHLPS stock, then flashed Siyah 4.0.1, reboot, then JKAY deodexed UHLPS, wipe cache/davlik cache, reboot and still the same.

so i believe that there is something odd in the combination of Siyah/JKAY/odexed (stock) Roms. probably has something to do with the latest updates used to guarantee 4.0.4/JB compatibility (as Many40 mentioned that there's no issue on deoxeded Rom and CF-Root + Stock works as intended).

i'll live with this, no big deal, Siyah is too good to be given up :)

Had similar 'strange' behaviour in the past, going back and forth between versions and having problems from later versions taken back to older ones....turned out to be the root management not sticking very well.

I think since JB support has been added, and JB having a different persmissions and root management structure, this may be the case...

Maybe you've tried it already, but if not, try unrooting and reboot with auto-root checked, and after that maybe a fix permissions...won't hurt to try..:)

Probably you have set in ExTweaks "Mass Storage Mode" to "Force Mass Storage Mode". Change it to "Default", should help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Jack:
The default governor with 3.3.3d (and newer) is pegasusq. This is a good compromise of battery life and performance so you won't get battery life improvements from another governor without slowing your phone down. Use whatever kernel / version you find stable on your phone and that provides the features you want. Unless you have a particular reason to do otherwise you should use the latest version.

If you want to improve battery life you need to cut down on unnecessary wireless and screen power consumption. Turn off bluetooth and wifi except when you need them and use automatic screen brightness. I'm not surprised that you only get 3 hours if you run at 60% all the time.

I don't know any way to over-clock the GPU for just one app, sorry.
