On Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Note II & Galaxy Camera you can plug an external hard drive (2.5") it'll be powered by the device.

However with Galaxy SII (and Note) it does not... I wondered if it's 100% hardware and absolutely no way ot make the usb port output more?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skully☺:
I've read about it somewhere I don't recall anymore, but usually an USB HDD gets its power form the PC. A PC has a lot more power than the battery of a mobile phone.

I did some research for the capacity of the stock batteries:

- GS II: 1650mAh

- GS III: 2100mAh

- Note: 2500mAh

- Note 2: 3100mAh

If you have stock batteries, this doesn't explain why the GSII and Note don't power your drive, while the GS III and Note 2 do.

So maybe it is firmware related: is the drive formatted as FAT32 or as NTFS? Are there more than 1 partitions on the drive?

Otherwise, a drive with an external power supply might do the trick, or maybe another battery with more capacity.

Try these: 1 (note: for Siyah kernel, but they may work for Dorimanx), 2, and see my signature

I have a question, Can i use the latest Siyahkernel v5.0.1 with CM9.1.0 Stable ? will it give me good battery life with no issues?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Yes, you can use it with CM9. This rom is supported by the kernel 5.0.1. Concerning battery life, when you check my 2nd link in my signature you will find kernel tweaks which I used together with stock sammy rom. I think they are universal and you can use them also with CM9 (you can modify them also later according to your needs). There are also rom related battery tweaks which you have to find out yourself according to your rom specific features.

Did Siyah stopped developing S2 kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hi,

Not Siyah but Gokhanmoral ;) He hasn't stopped developing his Siyah kernel, see posts below:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happily1986:
I am on CM9 cm-9-20121202-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip and Siyah 5.0.1

I noticed that on performance governor, Android has a problem of locking the CPU at the highest frequency 1.6Ghz. Disabling profiles and setting perf governor in SetCPu will have the frequency jump and stay at 1.6Ghz but after playing games or running quadrant, the frequency stays locked at 800MHz instead. I have no idea when the locked frequency changed at all.

This issue occurred for me on the last CM9 stable and i flashed the latest nightly to check if the same issue cropped up. It did.

Using perf governor on the default CM9 kernel locks at the highest permissible frequency 1.2GHz no issue. And i was able to run 1.6Ghz on perf governor no problem when i was using Villainrom 3.0 (Gingerbread) on Ninpo's 2.13 kernel.

So, in a nutshell, the problem is that on perf governor, my CPU is getting locked at 800Mhz be it using quadrant or playing games. I noticed that on Pegasusq, the CPU had no problem scaling up to 1.6GHz though.

What gives?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPBoss:
It normally locks to 800 when the cpu overheats it automatically throttles. Try undervolting or reducing your overclock to 1500
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happily1986:
oh I see. this explains what I have. thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPBoss:
I wasnt so sure before because u said pegasus still went up to 1600. Just to make sure try an intensive app or game using pegasus for a while.

It should be the same result and eventually should lock to 800mhz. Because i'm sure the frequency lock is hardware based so governors shouldn't make a difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happily1986:
hmmm. if the throttle instruction is hardware based then how come it didn't kicked in when I was using Gingerbread?

Hi

should I upgrade to more recent Siyah kernel , would that be the method be the same using Odin via PC

Any advice /recommendations much appreciated

Currently

on 3 UK

Android version 4.0.4

Baseband: I9100NELP4

Build: IMM76D.XWLPY

Kernel 3.0.15-Siyah-S2-v4.1.5+
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
There would be two (three) reasons to move from 4.1.5 to 5.0.1:

1. You need support for roms with new mali drivers

2. You need access to new (higher then default) GPU frequency steps

3. You are a flashoholic :)

If non of them applies to your case - don't update. Siyah 4.1.5 is the very good/stable kernel.

2) put the file on ur internal Sdcard

3) reboot ur phone into recovery mode.

4) choose install zip from sdcard.

How can I read out the CPU temperature? There are tons of apps for battery temperature but I never got any working ones for CPU temperature. Also I'm wondering that the CPU can only handle such low temperatures, is there really that much of a difference to other mobile CPUs? I know that desktop CPUs can handle over 100°C and my SGS2 barely gets hot on the back and underclocks itself to 800mhz. What would happen if it kept getting hotter and hotter? Also I remember that in the summer it got way hotter, like more then twice as hot and I was also still running GB and it never got unstable or crashed.

Most of the time apps report the battery temperature not the CPU temperature but System Tuner/Android Tuner does.

To check your CPU temperature you can install System Tuner/Android Tuner, use widget and activate CPU temperature in settings or go to notification packages and install one of the CPU temperature ones.

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

Exactly what you wrote, BLN doesn't work on stock messaging and dialer apps - this is normal and is not the kernel issue but apps. To have bln notifications for missed calls and unread sms you need 3rd party apps like eg Light Flow Lite.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denny966:
My BLN doesnt work for whatsapp, is it the whatsapp app or stweaks app?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
In Stweaks app (controling a kernel) you should enable BLN and make a test by built-in test option. If test in Stweaks works then "light signal" is generated by the kernel and everything is dependant of the apps. Stock apps can't deal with this so 3rd party apps are required. If you use one like Whatsapp messaging app you have to enable somewhere in the options of the app LED notifications. If it's not available means app doeasn't support this. I personnally didn't check if it worked on Whatsapp but checked Light control lite app which manage almost all possible types of notifications, with this stock apps can be used. However, if test option from Stweaks app doesn't work for you - update Siayh to the newest one or use another which supports bln or if still doesn't work change your rom.

The stock Siyah governor has been eating a lot of battery and ondemand gave me quite a bit more juice. And cfq is better than sio IMO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim-bo:
Essentially, the short answer is that no, it is not now, and never will be possible, at least, not in the way that people asking the question probably mean.

The problem is, that there are a whole lot of different things stored on the /data partition.

For example, you have

/data/app - all your user apps are in here

/data/data - all the config and stored data for all the user and system apps is in here

/data/dalvik-cache - this is where the pre-optimized dex files for all the user (and system on a deodexed ROM) live.

/data/system - stores some system settings and information - NOT system app settings, other stuff such as input methods, wallpaper, widget lists, usage stats, and more.

So in order to share the apps on both ROMs, what you are actually asking for is that /data/app be shared, but also the folders in /data/data for all of your apps (but NOT for the system apps as that would crash all sorts of things and cause FCs and even bootloops), but that all the rest of the /data partition be separate.

But worse than that.... imagine that you, for example, don't like the stock SMS app on one ROM, but do on the other, so you install a replacement on one ROM, that then kicks out the stock app on the other since it is set as a default.... or you have an app installed in /system on one ROM, but on the other, so you install it as a user app, but then in the other ROM, you have it in both user and system.... and it just gets extremely complicated to manage, and to make it actually do what you are after.

In theory, you could mount the other ROM's data partition on some other mount point, such as /data2, and then use symbolic links to connect the /data/app to /data2/app folders, though that would not share the data, or the settings, so you could also add individual symlinks for the /data/data/xyz folders for each app individually where you wanted them shared, though you would have to test each one to make sure that didn't cause problems. But this is never ever going to be something that could simply be automated in a way that made everyone happy.
