Good to hear. :):thumbup: It's the easiest and most convenient way to flash tar files without it effecting your Flash counter thus giving you the yellow triangle like normal flashing through odin via download mode.

But it's a paid app so most users stay away due to that.

However remember, Red forgot to mention this ;), what works for him it doesn't mean mean will work in the same way for eerybody. Disabling fast dormancy makes sense only if your GSM provider doesn't support this feature in it's network. For example my network supports fast dormancy so if I disabled it just for testing I got terible wakelock preventing my phone going to deep sleep. So general rule is just be aware what you are doing :)

I guess this is related to the wifi.

When my wifi is on, I will have a few seconds where touch does not respond when the phone has just been waken up

When using mobile data, no such issue.

happens on 3.2.6
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I'd leave that at default for the time being : 85/25/85/40 as in battery profile and also stay-counts at 1,1,1.

You can play with these a little if you think you're experiencing some lag.

They determine when to shift from low to middle and to high and back depending on the GPU load. With 85/25/85/40 it goes from low to middle after 1 sec. if the load is more than 85%, and if it's still higher than (the second) 85% after (the second) 1 second it goed from middle to high. Backwards it goes from high to middle if the load goes under 40% and from middle to low if under 25%.

Your choice of 85/15/85/30 would shift back at lower loads, meaning staying higher longer, fractionally little more power consumption, but maybe a little less laggy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boat Traveller:
Thanks for this explanation ! It really helps me.

And I was wondering another thing : when the phone is in deep sleep. Is there a GPU step for deep sleep or is it the first step ? In my case 40Mhz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
if the phone is in deep sleep, that ussually :) means the screen is off, in which case the gpu is turned off, so no need to worry about that...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boat Traveller:
Ok so my 40Mhz step is useless, isn't it ?

I mean when I turn the screen on the GPU will want to go to the second step right away because 40Mhz is not quick enough ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
no it's not useless ; it's the initial freq. at which your GPU starts off when you turn on your screen and when your doing nothing (graphically), so it's meaningfull.

(just to be clear, GPU is the processor that handles the graphic part of the system, or things you see on the screen)

But when the screen goes off, there's nothing to do graphically, so the GPU does nothing, and after a while will go to sleep

edit: just read your 'edit' : when screen is turned on, it starts at 40Mhz and after the staycount of 1 sec. it will jump up if load is higher than 85%, else it will continue at 40 until you unlock and do some heavier graphic, like switching screen pages, start app. or whatever that needs more graphic power
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boat Traveller:
thanks !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_Oncle_Bob:
I am having this bug too... back to 200Mhz (scaling_min_freq) and it's good. I think some phones can't handle this freq.

Re 1. always on is i believe best for battery. Unless you are going to disable data and sync as well when wifi off. It's been confirmed that wifi drains less than modem based data connection
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE RED BLUR:
Wifi being always on is always better then data. But in the case of stock kernel and the previous siyah betas the wifi was draining way too much.

Hence why people turn it off when possible. But I never did and probably never will ;)

There have been a lot of posts in the CM thread (posts 1524-6) about streaming video. Sometimes flash player is necessary, and sometimes it should be uninstalled, depending upon the site and the browser. So not always streaming video problems are kernel related.

Maybe a good thing to ask the posters to name the site, browser, flashplayer installed and the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGroteKoning:
I'm on NeatROM Lite 4.0. Siyah 6.0beta4. Both stock video as well as MX Player performs as it should. Sometimes there is a hint of lagging (not much at all), but this is probably due to UC and a lil UV. The players are no worse than on PhilZ kernel. I would rather say it is the same for me. I seriously doubt the kernel is the culprit for bad playback on others' phones

EDIT: Also streamed both mkv and mp4 over wireless network. It plays fine if I don't mess around with forwarding/rewinding by sliding left or right. This caused an error saying it can't play the video. But if you delete the app cache, all works well again. This is in MX only as I don't know if the stock player is capable of mkv files.

Hope this helps

Ok guys Thanks for some feedback but what's missing is how you installed to siyah. We need to see if there is something on that.

It's good to know that some NeatRom users are not experiencing issues so it could be down to installation method or some corruption in rom through mods or use of other kernels.

This is what we need to focus at.

I thought I will quote my own post just to keep it all together.

Previously on stock Sammy ICS with Siyah 5.0.1. Then....

1. Flash official leaked Sammy LSJ from Samfirmware through Mobile Odin Pro - injecting Everoot and SuperSU

2. Flashed PhilZ kernel a couple days later. (Can't remember version for next step)

3. Flashed NeatROM Lite 4.0 with 19 toggles mid and selected Aroma mods

4. Flashed some more PhilZ kernel. Last version used 3.81

5. Jumped for joy when GM released Siyah 6.0beta2 and flashed same (tar file) with Mobile Odin Pro.

EDIT: I found that CWM 3.15 app doesn't function properly. All the reboots work fine. Backup and restore doesn't work well for me - I must work from recovery. Flash update also doesn't work. Didn't test other CWM functions.

I'm not sure if it was reported before, but with Beta 4 there was fixed headphone amplification option.

It is working, but after maxxing it out the bass is little bit distorted. On normal stable kernel release with for example CM10 the sound is little bit better, with deeper bass and without distortion.

After all this is the feature I was waiting for on LSJ, and I'm very happy that it is there but I'm wondering why it sounds a little bit different than on other ROMs/kernels.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as the headphone amplification in Siyah is based off of Supercurio's hardware based enhancements, I wanted to know whether the recent update that increased it (from +6dB, I think) to +15dB has been implemented yet?
