Siyah 1.8.6 bluetooth calls and FM radio

Hi,

im running stock Samsung rom with Siyah 1.8.6, which i installed to play with some of the audio tweaks. Im pretty happy with it but i cant get the FM radio to work. Ive seen the posts about disabling DAC direct, but ive set this to off and rebooted / wiped cache etc and still no joy.

The radio app is obviously working and picking up station data etc, its just literally not sending output to either speakers or headset. What am i doing wrong?

Secondly, when using both an MW600 bluetooth headset and my car bluetooth connection i dont seem to be able to get call audio working, The devices pair, speak to each other (can dial etc) and can also play music via bluetooth, but just cant hear or send audio when making phone calls. Anyone else seen this issue? I havent seen this one described anywhere really yet...

Cheers

Allright, took me some time but finally had time to do it. And it by some reason is the biggest fail ever, because now I have folder structure inside sdcard: /0/0

And dualboot is still not working, there is .secondrom inside the root of sdcard but also inside of /0, and I got a funny feeling that it flashed the rom into /0 and not into root, because the dating of folders..

Also newest problem is (due to two /0 folders) is that I'm running low on storage at int.sdcard. Whats the easiest way to format my int.card? It shouldn't mess anything up with the cwm or anything?

Use aroma filemanager to erase files in your SD from recovery.
[Galaxy S III General] Aksuli83:
Where can I find that one? Tried searching the I9300 but there isn't any thread named like that..
[Galaxy S III General] xanthrax:
TWRP recovery will help you . it has build in a file manager .there are two ways to get it

1- from here

2- via gooManager

Did some checkin in with the Omega rom v35.. Flashed rom to 1strom and then flashed siyah kernel, tried to boot and it failed.. So the booting from 2ndrom problem seems to be caused by Omega rom since it wont boot from 1strom either. Downloaded rom again and tried another time to check if it was caused by corrupted download, nope still the same and it wont boot.. Crap.. Wanted to get BT work since cm10.1 is havin issues with it (example cant search or pair anything with my phone, yet my phone is visible to other devices but still can't pair).. Well, have to wait for the fix and hope for the best..

Edit: Starting to believe its impossible to have Omega running as second rom, due to cm10.1 including /0. I've read that GM is building his 4.2 kernel but hasn't seen a post from him in a while, some feeds of how it's going would be nice.. Big thanks to him for all his hard work on our device :)
[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Please help!!
[Galaxy S III General] Aksuli83:
Woohoo! After hours of struggle, managed to get Omega rom to boot from 2ndrom with siyah :D Finally.. No clue what was wrong earlier but now it booted.. Maybe has something to do with me formating the sdcard :D But I still tried to flash the rom after that and didn't work, this time after flash it works... :)
[Galaxy S III General] tisazalay:

Hi, i'm new on flashing kernel and things like that..

will i see a great difference of fluidity and better battery life if i flash Siyah kernel ? I'm stock right now..

and stock ELLA
[Galaxy S III General] Ixtilion:
If you install siyah kernel you should definitely undervolt your cpu/gpu and stress-test it, that will save battery :)

This thread will help you greatly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827635
[Galaxy S III General] thekoRngear:
In addition to that guide mentioned above you can UC/OV/UV the CPU just using the siyah's stweaks. No need for nstools.
[Galaxy S III General] tlf55:
and what about fluidity ?
[Galaxy S III General] matrixino:
Anyone can help me? I currently switched to perseus and everything is working fine. But I really would like to continue using siyah for dualboot :(
[Galaxy S III General] Lither:
The default settings in STweaks are good enough to save battery as my main use is Facebook, Viber, Internet, Music and Games?

CM 10.1 with siyah 1.8.6 + bluetooth = not working at this moment

CM 10.1 + bluetooth = working perfectly

I tried to pair with other devices and no result at all. After triying some times my bluetooth gets stuck in that ROM , and I have to reboot to get bluetooth again enabled .

I think this problem has been reported before by some people in CM discuss thread .

Hope to a fix in the next version ;)

thanks
[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Two questions:

1) what are the different benefits in placing the SCHED_MC to 1 or 2?? I would like some more explanation please..

2) can some one link again the STweaks sound setting thread where to post users settings? I lost the thread subscription and I can't find it any more.....

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] ZeroxTechnic:
Dual boot. More flexibility.

Would really like Siyah to not be as restricting as it is with dual boot. Maybe use space on external sd to archive this?
[Galaxy S III General] thekoRngear:
1) I want to know it too. That is why I have been observing your question but nobody seems to answer it yet.:rolleyes:

2) There you go mate. My setting is in the first page.
[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Thank you! ;)

I hope to have that first question answer soon as I'm really interested!!
[Galaxy S III General] Aksuli83:
Feel free to code your own kernel to support external sd for dualboot.. If not, please don't ***** about his work, he is giving us a chance to dualboot so I'd be thankfull for that..

I'm pretty sure that 4.2 gives him some kinda headache because the 0/ and it messing up 2ndrom.. Fixing this can't be easy after all if he wants to add all of the other stuff updated since his last build (1.8.6). Be patient..
[Galaxy S III General] danielk0302:
Is it possible to dual boot with 4.2. I've heard some people say they have got it working but having read the last few pages it looks like it shouldn't be possible. I've just flashed a 4.2 ROM but I'm already missing some features of a Sammy ROM. So if is possible how and of not keep up to great work everyone I could only dream of being this good with developing :D
[Galaxy S III General] Aksuli83:
Cm10.1 and omega 4.1.2 is possible but was hard.. Trial and error after another and then success..
[Galaxy S III General] danielk0302:
What did you do differently to make it work. I used to use omega but then moved to crDroid. I would go back to omega if dual boot wasn't possible with crDroid but I'd really like it if it was. I can't test all day because I have sixth form every day but evenings I can try things as long as I have a working ROM for the day time :) I'm on stock cm 10.1 kernel I think but not sure. I'm certainly not on a custom one yet because I tried siyah but it froze up. If you can say what you did then I'll try it maybe and help others in a similar situation until Samsung release 4.2 :D
[Galaxy S III General] Aksuli83:
Backup my apps and data with titanium. Then formatted my sdcard, flashed Temasek's 10.1 as primary, flashed siyah's 1.8.6 kernel, wiped data and cache of secondary, flashed secondary with omega v36. Rebooted to primary, rebooted to recovery, rebooted, pushed vol down for secondary.. Trial and error was the deal with this, primary always booted but secondary eventually.. Can't say more because I don't actually know what I did :D

[Galaxy S III General] Onraad:
Yes, "a temporary kernel-side fix for exynos-mem security hole until Samsung fixes it" is included in 1.8.6
[Galaxy S III General] maranello69:
i have also read that in the changelog, but the ExynosAbuse app and also this one state that my device is still exploitable...

maybe someone can straighten this up for all of us
[Galaxy S III General] qavro:
i think will say it is expoitable no matter the fix. it means not that you have not fixed it, but that it was vulnerable.

what you should try is the Exynos Abuse from chainfire. THat is what i have understood reading about it...

Anyone tried and got similar results or a way to get it to work apart from only using one rom

Just wanted to ask if any work has been done for the MHL cable lag for the s3? Apparently a guy on the one s forum modded a kernel and is getting 60fps via mhl. Is this something that siyah kernel will see In future updates ? As I've yet to see any one else implement features such as this for the s3 , and MHL on the s3 isn't great as it is.
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
We've all been mislead : ELLA does not fix anything, neither sudden death nor even the simple exynos mem bug; despite Ella, sgs3's are still dying. I've got ELLA, officially, yet I had to run the chainfire exynos abuse app.
[Galaxy S III General] thekoRngear:

[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
I updated only last night (ELLA/UK) through Kies, and as soon as I run the exynos mem bug checker it says the device is bugged; had to run chainfire's fix to get rid of it. Besides, on other threads people have reported (1 or 2 days ago) sgs3 dying although running ella. Anyway I do hope you're right and that samsung fixed it and if so please point me to whatever I have to install/flash and have peace of mind.
[Galaxy S III General] mputtr:
that exynos mem bug checker is wildly inaccurate. do the chainfire method to see if it's patched or not.
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
The exynos bug is a totally diff thing. This refer to the emmc failure that provoque a sudden death.
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
I said that because i didn't see any reply from GK on a long time...

Like i said i hope i'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
Yes I agreee, the point i was triyng to make is that if samsung have not patched a simple issue like the mem bug untill now, I'm rather cautious and even incredulous about them really fixing the sds

I'm not sure about this anymore... It says everywhere that CM10.1 isn't supported, but I think I've seen some people say they had their S3 running with Siyah kernel, CM10.1 as 1st boot and stock as 2nd boot. Is this true?

I tried it, CM10.1 installed well but once I flashed Siyah kernel the CM10.1 started running super slow.

Is CM10.1 really not working? And if so, does anyone know where to still get CM10? On http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i9300 I can only download CM10.1.

With siyah kernel I want to put professional number sim on 8:00 at 19:00 at day and at the end of work put second rom with another number personal sim with others different accounts (whatsapp,viber, gmail) and I need that all storage data was in different site. External SD for example or mini partition in internal SD around 2gb would be great.

Cm10.1 would be an option but I think it's more sure 2 roms 4.1.2 with this script.

I'm sorry...people here talk about the hijacked recovery of Siyah kernel....but what does it mean?

I thought that last Siyah kernel is just a kernel with Samsung update 7 inside...and that also in having this we need a recovery console that has the Samsung update 7 support for working with compatible kernels like this one...

Isn't it like this?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Siyah always have a recovery built inside the Kernel, you can switch over to Siyah recovery from your existing one by selecting hijack recovery in stweaks. So AFAIK the separately available Siyah recovery has not yet been updated, but the one that comes along with Siyah 1.8.7 has been updated and uses lla based source for the recovery part which makes your recovery safe alng with your kernel

[Galaxy S III General] dantheman122:
So noticed a really strange issue, may be related to Siyah or Temasek's CM10.1 kernel. Essentially, I updated to latest Temasek CM10.1 build v33 and then updated to Siyah 1.8.7. After that I decided to flash Temasek's custom kernel over the top to see what it was like but it's like it left remnants of Siyah as when I booted it still asked if I wanted to boot to 1st or 2nd rom but if I selected 2nd it just froze and I had to hold power to restart.

I then booted to first rom still with Temasek's kernel and launched STweaks and it worked with it as my screenshot shows but the kernel showed as Temasek's. Could this be related to the latest ramfs changes or something like that?

Ended up solving it by reflashing the rom so perhaps something was left in System?
[Galaxy S III General] andylams:
I've tried use Official CM10.1 Nightly as Primary and many other JB 4.2 ROMs as secondary for try but the secondary ROMs are all stuck on the boot logo as you said :crying:

1.8.7 feels smoother than any other kernel, even with pegasusq governor. Previously i was used lulzactiveq gov because it gives much smoother scrolling especially on tapatalk, but it drains battery faster. Now on 1.8.7 i can use pegasusq again without bad lags :)
