Question:

If I install the kernel, can I go back to the stock kernel when the new OTA comes out and will it work or will it say it is modified?

Or, will it just work anyway.

I love this kernel because of the sound quality improvements. But I hate always having to restore and reset up my phone when the new OTA comes out and my phone won't update because it says it is modified.

Thanks in advance

tried tweaking oc uv on stweaks but when I reboot, it boots again on reaching lockscreen and the settings are back to default.

any ideas how I go about doing this?

Experience on 1.5.3

Hi there,

Just wanted you to know my experience with Siyah Kernel 1.5.3 on Omega v13.1.

I've been using it for a while already and noticed two rather negative points:

1. Wi-Fi behaves erratically, connects and reconnects often. And doesn't work at all with my Wi-Fi extender module. When I place my phone near that device (where the signal is the strongest), Wi-Fi disappears completely.

2. Power consumption is worse compared to 1.5.2. Essentially, when I was using 1.5.2 I was getting about 0.5% battery drain per hour (wi-fi is ON). With 1.5.3 I'm getting about 1% drain on Wi-Fi.

So I reverted to 1.5.2 to make sure I'm not imagining things up. And yeah, both problems are gone on 1.5.2, so I"m going to stick with it for a while.

I've installed the last PARANOIDANDROID v2.13.2 and Siyah Kernel v.1.5.4.

The only problem I encountered is the compability of the system with an ExFat SD Card: it keep saying that the SD is corrupted. I know that Paranoid Rom won't support this kind of SD format, but I've read that "Samsung proprietary ExFat modules are loaded" on Siyah Kernel features.

Am I making something wrong or is there a solution for this problem?

Thanks for the help. :o
[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
an advice:

try setting touch boost level to 1000MHz...

it increases the smoothness a lot.

[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Would you guys recommend 1.5.2 over 1.5.3 for better battery?

I don't have redraw issues.
[Galaxy S III General] vvsiz:
Definitely. For me 1.5.2 is much more battery-friendly. Maybe this was due to Wi-Fi troubles I was having with 1.5.3, but once I reverted back to 1.5.2 and tested a few nights and days, I see that the good battery life is restored on 1.5.2.

But you should really try for yourself, since every device, rom, settings, environment are different. Changing kernels is trivial and very fast, less than a minute really, so it worth experimenting.

Personally I stick with 1.5.2 for now, Omega Rom v13.1 (the latest ICS one). I undervolt CPU by -100, undervolt GPU by -75, and set the touch boost CPU to 1000, as author of the kernel suggested. So far, very smooth UI and decent battery life. Today's night, my phone with Wi-FI and sync one used 3% over 8 hours, and I typically get a full day on a single charge with active use.

All in all, Siyah kernel (and removed bloat in Omega ROM) eliminated all the excessive power usage from the software side, and the only major battery consumer is the screen. Again, Siyah kernel could help out even with this, adjusting the automatic screen brightness to you tastes.

In short, I'm completely satisfied by Siyah 1.5.2 at the moment. :)
[Galaxy S III General] ryukisai:
Thanks !!

Hi there !

I'm here to send a big THANK to our favorite kernel dev ! :highfive:

I'm glad you released a kernel for us CM10 nightly afficionados.

CM10 stock kernel is fine but after some time we all miss the tweaks you made available in Siyah !

It's great there are people like you !

By the way, no problem noticed with 1.5.4-cm10 using it with CM10 nightly and Paranoid Android 2.13.2.

Seeyah !
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
i was on 1.5.2 for a while before i switched to 1.5.3. like you i also thought i had better battery life with 1.5.2 but thought that it was more placebo. but now that i see people commenting on 1.5.2's better battery efficiency, ill revert back to it for the time being and observe,

[Galaxy S III General] danielk0302:
I've been using v1.5.3 for a few days now and it runs fine, nice and smooth. Battery life however is a different story. Overnight I left my phone off charge from 95% to see what the battery did. I lost about 30% over night with no screen on time. i dont think i should need to turn data off every night, my old X10 had better battery life over night. Could someone tell me how to solve this drain because I do like the kernel. I'm still with stock ROM I'm waiting for the official JB ROM before flashing custom ROM. Thanks and everyone keep up to great work :D
[Galaxy S III General] kofiaa:
That's what happened to me, then I flashed the 1.5.2 kernel. It's a beast with battery life, I think it's generally better. The link is on the previous page.

And install better battery stats to find out what is waking up your phone
[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
your device has been awake a lot.

use betterbatterystats to find out which application wakes your phone app and either uninstall it or tweak the settings (sync, polling interval etc)
[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
no, it is not the kernel to blame in that screenshot.

although I cannot think any reason for 1.5.2 to consume less there may be slight differences.

but even if he flashes v1.5.2 he will experience the same drain if he doesn't "do it right".

and reverting back to v1.5.2 should not be the first thing to do now.
[Galaxy S III General] danielk0302:
How do I 'do it right'
[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
as I said in my previous reply, use betterbatterystats and find out which app causes those wakelocks.

and focus on that app, not the kernel. changing kernels won't help in your case if you don't find the reason of those wakelocks. finding the reason of those wakelocks is "doing it right".
[Galaxy S III General] MiG123:
does 1.6rc2-cm10 come with the latest leaked jb opensource update 5?
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
I also get better battery from using 1.5.2 compared to 1.5.3. But in you're case those are app wakelocks as gm said.

I would nonetheless recommend 1.5.2 for better battery life and 1.5.3 for better memory management.
[Galaxy S III General] danielk0302:
I think I need battery life more , but is there a way to get the battery life of 5.2 but the memory management of 5.3? Such as a new kernel being made, I would take part in a beta test if it was made.

I have better battery stats now and over night I will do the same as last night and leave ny phone off charge. Is it kernel wakelock or the other wakelock I want to check. Thanks

Siyah Kernel 1.5.3 Vs Kies

Hi, i found a problem with kernel 1.5.3 and i want to write my experience...

Some days ago i update my kernel 1.5.2 with version 1.5.3 and after that i lost any way to connect my S3 with Kies

I tried on different PC... but nothing.. no connection... so today i tried to go back to 1.5.2 and i resolved my problem...

(sorry for my english!)

Roberto69 :)
[Galaxy S III General] danielk0302:
I have this problem too, i thought my cable had just gone funny or something but kies didnt work earlier when i was plugged into my laptop. I am going to try 1.5.2 now :)

[Galaxy S III General] mystifiyer:
Anyone managed to get the LED fading to work since the last 4 or 5 release?

Previously it was working all along until the the last few versions (can't remember when the feature actually broke).

Was on ICS then. I try to fix it by

1) Doing a /data, /cache wipe (factory reset)

2) Doing a /system format

3) Flashing a new stock rom

4) Install Siyah kernel and enable the LED fading option

I even tried CM9 and CM10 with Siyah respective kernels but still not working. It just wouldn't fade. Blinking still works

So I tried the JB LIB stock rom and Checkrom with Siyah and still no go.

I remember in the initial days, the blue LED brightness is kinda low but it was remedied, wasn't it? The brightness seemed reduced even while using default kernel

Would appreciate an advice why the fading feature is not working. Or if its my LED is spoiling (weak brightness)

Thanks

Update: *#0*# shows my LED are bright. Is there a way to get the same brightness? Still couldn't get fading to work

Does anyone elses GPU speeds not applying on the CM10 1.6RC2? 160, 266,350, 440,533 and 700 apply but speeds like 50,108,640 won't apply. And yes, my thresholds have been checked, the voltage changes but the speed remains the same as the last step.

Is this happening to anyone else?

My battery life is getting worse =-O today at college I hardly used my phone and it's nearly dead. Screen time of about an hour and most of that not on internet. I used battery battery stats and I have screenshotted what it shows for processes. I looked at partial and kernel wakelocks but I don't quite know what it means. Processor usage isn't too strange, about half deep sleep and half 100mhz with the odd bit of higher speeds. Who would like to throw some more advice my way. I might just flash a custom Rom later but I was waiting for official jelly bean really. Any help or things I have done wrong is much appreciated. Please note I didn't actually go on facebook all day yet it is the highest for partial wakelock :-$

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Bull****. If you actually searched (i.e. looked around), you'd notice what roms Siyah supports. 1.5X and down supports CM9 and ICS, 1.6X supports Samsung jellybean and 1.6X-CM10 supports ONLY CM10 builds, and maybe AOSP JB roms if you're in luck.
[Galaxy S III General] Archiimonde:
That's what i meant...

MAYBE supporting AOSP is all I've found... I haven't found a single post where it said that Siyah was compatible with Supernexus.
[Galaxy S III General] GaryLiao:
Oversaturated Colors

Compared to the CM10 Kernel, Siyah seems to boost the color saturation WAY up, this is good for UI readability but it makes people in videos look orange or pink, it actually made me chuckle at first. I don't have a camera near me so I can't take comparison shots as of right now.

I have an issue with the NTFS auto mount using 1.6.2 and official JB deodexed. Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: It turns out that NTFS auto-mount does work, but somehow Samsung's stock apps doesn't recognize it. It will still notify that the USB device is not supported in the notification bar and not shown in the My Files (Samsung's native file explorer). However, Root Browser and ES File Explorer can open the NTFS folder.

On the downside, this only works on USB flash drives. External HDDs no longer works.

EDIT2: External HDD works, but only with certain plugging-in order. First you gotta plug in the HDD to the USB OTG, then the USB OTG to the phone.

Stweaks is not visible in the zip... There is no system/app in the thip...

With a file explorer go to /res and Stweaks will be there. Copy it to system/app, set the corret permissions like the other system apps (rw-r--r--), reboot and you'll be good.

In any case if you lost Stweaks for some reasons, it's always in the /res folder.

default voltage with -100 UV

nenamark 2 stutters for me when panning around the house and tree.

also quadrants graphical tests are reporting very low frames like the phone is jumping constantly between ramp up and ramp down steps so that could be why its changing frames all the time instead of keeping a constant flow, unfortunatly this causes gpu stuttering ect.

My GPU ramp up and down settings are all default.
