Hi everyone, I ran into a problem today. I was trying different settings in Stweaks and set CPU undervolting to -100uv, my phone crashed and was unable to boot into the primary ROM. But thank goodness I still can boot into the secondary one. Now, what can I do to to restore the Stweaks settings? Those settings must be save somewhere in some file. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] 4l3gU:
In recovery you can restore default setting...search and try.

Searched this thread with all these keywords "reset", *restore", "bootloop", "recovery" and spent more than 30 minutes now reading the posts but still can't find the answer. The only comment that's useful to me is this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35052641&postcount=2066

So if you have an answer, just point it out please.

I just want to know where all the STweaks settings are stored, that's all.

I think that they are in data/siyah...delete siyah in data with root explorer and try...:(

[Galaxy S III General] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
same crashing problem with no solution to fix.

same problem here, i cant even login to my first rom with siyah kernel, i had to revert to stock kernel to be able to login, and of course in stock kernel the stweaks wont work to restore default settings as it shows "kernel not supported" message, flashing siyah kernel again with clearing cash, dalvic, ...etc does the same bootloop after crashing, any clear fix for this?
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
Boot with stock kernel then clear app data for stweaks, that should sort you out

[Galaxy S III General] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
found a fix:

from the second ROM open stweaks

then boot to second rom utils

then go to kernel specific options

then reset stweaks profile

then reboot

done :)

Using second ROM to change the values of the default.profile file in the folder .secondrom/.siyah works too. This only works if your second ROM has root access of course. I got out of boot loop that way.

Help. I flashed Siyah Kernel via ODIN and tried to enter CWM by Switching off device then hold voulume up power and home all at once, but I had entered into stock CWM. So I downloaded Mobile Odin and flashed kernel but still the same.

I flashed Custom Touch CWM and flashed Siyah via CWM but now I entered Touch CWM. I want the Siyah CWM. I used S2 before so what am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III General] samorgs:
You need to have STweaks installed and from either first or 2nd rom open STweaks and from the dualboot tab boot into 2nd rom utilities from that.
[Galaxy S III General] jnr21:
Go to stweaks app -> dualboot tab -> press "hijack recovery", now you have siyah cwm as primary recovery.

Hi,

I got my new S3 yesterday and was coming from S2 (also with Siyah Kernel). Just out of curiosity: With my S2 and STweaks I was able to force mass storage mode.

Why can't this be done with the S3? Is there any chance to mount both storages at the same time in mass storage mode like it was possible with my S2?

Hi. I am using Siyah kernel from the beginning that I have my S3. Since some releases I have some problems with MTP. It take very long till the content of my internal sdcard is showen (4 or mor sec.)

I have tried perseus kernel and with that kernel the files have been showen directly...With perseus I had some problems with lags in GUI and UV so I went back to 1.8.4

Does someone know what the difference could be.

EDIT: Fond out that I can't copy big files 80MB with Siyah from my phone to PC :(

EDIT2: If I copy each big file one by one it works.

Thank you!

Try swapping the one you have as 1st rom now to 2nd rom, install Omega AOKP to 1st rom then swap back. Omega AOKP uses Aroma installer which don't always play nice going direct to 2nd rom. See how that goes.

Hi guys, running Siyah Kernel 1.8.4 here with omega ROM v34. I was just wondering if I can tweak battery charging to thru STweaks for AC wall charging from 1000mA to maximum 1200mA and USB charging from 475mA to maximum 900mA? If not, what is just right?

Also, will it not harm my battery if i set both on maximum? Any input is appreciated & thanked for!

Yes you can tweak them easily through STweaks. It will not harm your battery in the short term but in the long term it could affect your battery.

Can you tell me what is just right boosting for it? from 475 to ___?

[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
to 450?

well.. it is a bit left-boosting instead of right though :)

I am boosting it to 900 because I have usb3 ports. but even my old notebook's (a huge toshiba qosmio) usb ports were doing fine with >500mA.

boosting it to a higher value is also possible with init scripts but I never needed anything higher than 900mA.

I can read charging current on my xperia (it supports charging current of 1.5A) and only my ipad charger (yes, I have one :P ) can go above 1000mA anyway (I read 1290)...

Yup I have mine set to 900mA too. Never had any problems. No burn out of port either.

[Galaxy S III General] vincecabz101:
I am kind of confused here, The developer said it supposed to be left boosting instead of right. So from 475 to 450 to 425 perhaps?

But the other says boost it up to maximum of 900mA, which way should I go?

GM was joking lol. 900mA. To charge with 900mA though you need USB 3.0 ports in your laptop/computer.

[Galaxy S III General] droidphile:
Battery tweaks? Let sampling rate be 60,000. Down differential 5. Reduce freq_step to 20 or even 10. freq_for_responsiveness should be lowered to 300000 or 200000. Set max_cpu_lock to 2 so that CPU works in dual core mode. If you really need quad core (let max_cpu_lock be 0 and), increase hotplug_freq_3_1 to 1000000. Let hotplug_rq_3_1 be 400. Increase hotplug_rq_3_1 to 350 or 400. And hotplug_rq_2_1 to 250 or 300.(This has no effect if you're using dual core or triple core mode).
[Galaxy S III General] red.hat:
Thanx Droidphille, I was trying to tweak the governor to maximize battery and use the quad core. Just to clarify:

To use quad core set the following

Max_cpu_lock to 0

Hotplug_rq_3_1 to 350 or 400

Hotplug_rq_2_1 to 250 to 300

Hotplug_freq_3_1 to 1000000

How about the other settings for hotplug_rq_3_0, hotplug_rq_4_0 and hotplug_freq_4_0. Should my settings change or leave the as is.

I liked the music in 1.8.4 much more. Not as much bass as the previous versions but this makes for a clearer sound with the bass still deep enough.

The previous versions sounds muffled. But having a deeper bass. So it depends on which kind you like more.

But nevertheless no matter which version, they still sound better than stock, that's for sure.

So thanks GM for this great kernel!!

Firstly its not a kernel issue.

Find what's keeping it awake using BBS. Once you've run bbs for a few idle hours take the log to the BBS thread and get it analysed.

You could also check with cpu spy If it's running at 1400Mhz...if it is then it's possibly media scanner going ape.

First of all, thanks to the developer for this great kernel, it increased my phone's performance a lot :good:

I flash Siyal kernel using mobile odin pro last night, and this increase the flash count by 1.

I reset the flash count using triangle away, it was a success.

but after a reboot, the flash counter back to 1 and Binary is custom.

Anyone know what happen please help me with a workaround?

Phone: I9300

ROM version: JB 4.1.1 stock ROM

CWM version: CWM Touch 6.0.1.9 (may not related but just provide as much info as possible)

Siyah kernel version: 1.8.4 (File name: Siyah-s3-v1.8.4.tar)

Wipe data/cache/dalvik: No.

Mobile Odin Pro version: 3.57

Triangle Away version: v2.36

I try to reset the flash count for the second time now, and here is the steps i have done.

1. Power off my phone

2. Boot to download mode (volumn down + power + home button)

3. It reads

[B][COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR][/B]
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official

4. Ok, now i long press power button to reboot.

5. Opened my Triangle Away, status tab is

[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 1
Binary: Custom
Device: GT-I9300

6. Looks like it is tally, alright, i tab the Reset flash counter to reset now.

7. Tab Continue on the confirmation message.

8. Message appear "Flash counter has been reset!".

9. Go back to Triangle Away again, now the status bar reads

[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 0
Binary: Official
Device: GT-I9300

10. Power off my phone

11. Boot to download mode again(volumn down + power + home button)

12. Now it reads

[B][COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR][/B]
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official

13. Again, long press power to reboot

14. Notice a small red dot on left top screen

before

Siyah boot logo was showed, when the screen shows my phone model (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300)

15. Open Triangle Away again, the Current Status tab shows

[B]Current Status[/B]
Counter: 1
Binary: Custom
Device: GT-I9300

So, does this means that the siyah kernel was detected when i boot up my phone and thus increase the flash count? :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] NZDroidDev:
Mobile Odin doesn't increase the flash counter, that is why it was created. It will be whatever you flashed to root the phone in the very first instant. If you visit the official cfroot thread it explains the issue and how to fix it.
[Galaxy S III General] Conflict94:
You're using the new bootloader if you have the red dot. The old ones do not have the red dot. What it means is that for the new one, essentially as long as you have a custom recovery installed on your device, it is going to add a counter count on boot, no matter how many times you use triangle away.

Flash the old bootloader and you'll be fine. You can find the old bootloader files and the instructions by searching this forum.

I'm afraid it overwrite your setting which I already feel it's quite good at this time I'm using :) Very nice setting. ♥
