After trying both V4 and V5 siyah, I cannot come to a conclusion on which is better.

V4 is smoother (when scrolling through messages in Whatsapp). But seem to have a higher touch latency. Meaning when typing messages, the touch takes abit longer to get registered, and when typing fast, some letters might get lost along the way. For example, when typing "lol" quickly, the "o" might not get registered.

V5 seems to have lower touch latency and typing seems snappier than V4, which is a good thing. But definitely less smooth than V4, with obvious jitters. What I did was to tick "Force GPU rendering" under Developers Options and using STweaks to set Mali Boost to lvl4. Its much smoother but might cost more battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bieniu:
Often when I go to Settings -> Applications -> no matter what application the screen freezes and stops responding to touch, and the only thing that responds is power button that turns on and off screen (lock screen does not appears). The only solution is to remove the battery or longer hold power button. As soon as the system starts, and the lock screen will appears the system reboots again. Only after that I can use the phone. Recently I did a full wipe and it did not help. I'm using cm-10-20121102-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100-vsync_sysfs-changmin. On earlier versions of nightly the problem also occurred.

Can anyone help me with that?

Wierd, I've never got that problem...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
imho in terms of "smoothness" there are no differences between 4 and 5...

(if 5 is the latest 5, the "beta" 5 was laggy)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] griprx:
I had that issue and it was solved by installing Siyah (latest modded version) on top of the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
But final has no 'smoothness' changes to beta afaik

[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
mh...well but anyway i compared both today and i cant say ver5 is slower...

and btw, games are running better (for me) with ver.5 (final). with 4.1.5 i get some lags, even if i set the last gpu step to 267.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Flashed the 4.2 gapps package and clock and camera seems to work flawlessly with this ROM. Even ClockQ + the 4.2 clock works. :)

And I of course uploaded it to my mirror - www.farmfield.se/ROMS/ :D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] drsoran2:
I have the same problem, it happens with Siyah and stock kernel. It usually happens when opening or scrolling through lists. I also have it in "running apps" menu and elsewhere. Not all the time, but occasionally. It seems to appear randomly. In 95% when it happens I have to wait a while or press the lock button a few times before the system responds again! Seldom I have to press and hold lock button to force reboot. As far as I remember, this never happened with the really old builds (offical CM10 with either stock kernel or Siyah). By old, I mean the ones from July/August maybe up until September!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Does anything need to be removed before using these gapps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drsoran2:
which one exactly. because I'm currently on changmin's vsync rom from 1031 with modded siyah vsync 5b2. Still happens.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Noops, it replaces the stock AOSP clock, I guess that why it works with ClockQ where the old clock zip didn't...

Note: Video still doesn't work. Should have checked that before posting, sorry. (I use Camera JB+ anyways, so)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Well it will save me some time replacing them after every flash, thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cnn888:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:

But no. Missed to check that, sorry. Vid is still a no no it seems. Cam needs to be in ROM with the lib's to work, this was true in the unofficiall august gapps to, which broke 8 mpix cam...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Could someone tell me the default gpu threshold values for the siyah 4 kernel? They are different in version 5 and I guess that's the reason why v5 is not so smooth...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Sadly I haven't saved either 18- or 29/10 builds, though I should have. But the current build + Siyah 4.1.5 seems really nice with battery also, though the Siyah 5 these last days seems to use a $h!7load of battery when running bluetooth... I personally run the 04/11 build + Siyah 4.1.5...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gustavo_s:
i do like this:

step1: 108mhz

step2: 160mhz

to get a good treshold down from 2 to 1 i divide 108/160= 67,5%, then set it to around -10% of the result that you got, like 60%.

and i have all up thresholds from 1st to 4th set to 80%, 5th step is 95% :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Fusionalex:
I know this isn't really the right thread, but I need help. I flashed the inofficial 4.2 Gapps and cant get rid of them anymore now. I just want my 4.1 gapps back! Help please!!

Um I just fixed it by flashing CM and the official gapps but thanks lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Cool I just flashed 4.2 gapps and my video camera works but I'm on latest nightly with new siyah
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
Unless I flash a newer build, or am I wrong?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] greenemperor:
So is safe flash the 4.2 gapps to vsync build?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
WOW - that's a quite nuclear weapons-level solution for a pretty simple problem, hehe... Calm down mate. :D

Yes, as simple as. :)

Yes. But video won't work. I had no other issues though, but technically it could make your phone spontaneously detonate - there are no guarantees here... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Should be no problems but don't no if your video cam will work. I'm on latest nightly and saw all the cam changes in BBQ log. Thought that might help so gave it a go then tried video camera and it recorded. So should fully work in next mcm build

Edit made a mistake only front video cam works still

Edit 2 on 4.2 gapps on clock app if I use countdown then come off clock app I got fc so used other clock app again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
In STweaks, it says "slide2wake" might be dangerous for your battery.

Is that true? Or only the way it was implemented in Siyah?

It'll be a pity to have it off, seeing the convenience it brings to us.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elitewarrior:
Yes you are wrong :P. Anything you put in the /data folder will never be overwritten from a new ROM/Kernel flash. In fact only thing that gets rid of it is if you go and do it your self OR a factory reset (i.e. data wipe). This is why the config files are in the data folder and not in /system. You can even put your bootanimations in /data/local/bootanimation.zip and you will never have to reapply it have a ROM flash.

It says might be dangerous. Keyword is might. As I understand it, the slide2wake uses an interrupt rather then a running process/service. This shouldn't drain a lot of battery but some drain is to be expected. It can be as little as 1% to 5% (usually around the lower end) under normal circumstances. But, having said that, **** CAN happen I guess. I think the dangerous just means it might drain really fast IF something does go wrong and not an actual real physical danger.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shaunnicho:
It force closes but the countdown still works
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
So it doesn't work as well as the old app. Like to see countdown on the notification draw :)

Does anyone know what are the default values to put in config.txt of latest stock kernel vsync_sysfs, please ?

I remember I downloaded a config.txt file that changmin uploaded with the first builds and I never changed from then. I opened the file and edited some lines but I want to know the lately default ones.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elitewarrior:
See the attached screenshot for the list of apps that come in the package...

If you want you manually update all of those and go looking for leaks for the ones with no official updates or you can flash one package...

It also comes with chrome and googlenow but they are in /data instead of /system (i.e. they are uninstallable)... but point is that it does come with it.

I appreciate your effort, elitewarrior!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elitewarrior:
Your welcome :).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
This response was nicer than I expected. :)

So, even if I flash official CM10, the headphone volume boost will be kept, or their kernel doesn't support it?

Anyways, thanks for your kindness. :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elitewarrior:
Yes unfortunately the CM10 official kernel does not support this feature.

If you want the official CM10 rom then you can try getting it and then flash Siyah over it. In order to volume boost with Siyah you need to use the Siyah app. As far as I know with Siyah 4.x you have to use ExTweaks (click me!) and with Siyah 5.x you can use the app the comes with the kernel called STweaks.

Another option is to go stock CM10 kernel and then use PowerAMP audio player. PowerAMP can bypass the audio bug.

And also no problem :).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
Elite,

I manually set the HP_gain to "3", so if I flash CM10 and use the stock kernel, will there be any problems, provided that it's kernel doesn't have this feature, or will it be simply overriden?

Ps: same goes to slide2wake

Ps2: what's the difference between off and disabled, in tcp_slide2wake?

Just installed new build and siyah v5 plus the 4.2 gapps from Farmfield with this method:

Wipe cache/dalvic /format system/installed rom,siyah,4.2 gapps/wipe cache/dalvic/fix permissions.

Awesome installation,all work flawlessly(except the camera video rec..)

None FC!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elitewarrior:
No it won't cause any problems. And like I said before it won't be overwritten because flashing ROM's don't mess with data. Only time it might is when you flash a ROM and it uses a config file but the ROM cant find the file in your Data folder, it will create the file on first boot.

So if you use slide2wake and have it set to on, when you go to CM10 official, it won't do anything. Slide2wake wont work either.

I have no idea. Most of my knowledge is only from reading and figuring stuff out and not from some developer/android background. That means I could be wrong about alot of things (am fairly certain though). In this case I think off means the slide2wake functionality is there but not in use while disabled means all slide2wake functionality totally disabl.ed

Thats so.. unnecessary. The reason for the FC's were that the 4.1 apps data is incompatible in certain areas with the 4.2 apps. So when the app reaches those areas, it FCs. All you had to do was clear data for the app that was FCing. Thats it. Plain and simple.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
i know many of you dont care about bechmarks, but anyway its the only thing i can compare with.

i have two s2`s but no highspeed camera to rec, so i cant compare ui performance mcm`s vsync build with cm10 official.

if you would ask me (im running one with and one without vsync) i would say there is no difference (even without siyah on cm10 official),

thats why i made this "test"...

so here we go (all test`s with vsync off, no mcm build`s):

benchmark`s for cm10 official vsync off, stock cm10 kernel

(ondemand+sio)

cm10 official build 07 antutu run1: 6155

cm10 official build 07 quadrant run1:3242

kill all apps running...

cm10 official build 07 antutu run2:5655

cm10 official build 07 quadrant run2:2580

waiting 5min (cooldown,no changes)

cm10 official build 07 antutu run3:5585

cm10 official build 07 quadrant run3:2579

antutu final score:5798 (6155+5655+5585:3)

quadrant final score:2800 (3242+2580+2579:3)

so now WITH siyah kernel (still vsync off+official nightly)

reboot: install siyah v5.0i (wipe cache,dalvik,set permissions, reboot)

and waiting 10mins because of mediascanner...

benchmark`s for cm10 official vsync off+ siyah v5.0i

(pegasusq+sio+no changes in stweaks or extweaks)

cm10 official build 07 antutu run1:5836

cm10 official build 07 quadrant run1:2945

kill all apps running...

cm10 official build 07 antutu run2:5821

cm10 official build 07 quadrant run2:3011

waiting 5min (cooldown,no changes)

cm10 official build 07 antutu run3:6116

cm10 official build 07 quadrant run3:2807

antutu final score:5924 (5836+5821+6116:3)

quadrant final score:2921 (2945+3011+2807:3)

overall results:

cm10 official without siyah (v5)

antutu: score:5798

quadrant:score:2800

cm10 official with siyah (v5)

antutu:score:5924 (+124 points with siyah)

quadrant:score:2921 (+121 points with siyah)

if you want to compare this with a mcm build WITH vsync on, just do it yourself if you are running a vsync build right now.

would be nice if someone could tell the results off mcm`s builds to complete this...

ui performance seems to be the same (maybe a little better with stock cm10 kernel IMHO)

I don't get what you are after..? The last few builds there is some kinda issue with bluwtooth using Siyah 5, it drains battery like crazy. This is a known bug, or at least I heard several people repost it in the min CM thread. Solution, for now, is to use stock CM10 kernel or Siyah 4 - or not using bluetooth.

And no, I heard no explanation to this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
It drains absolutely NOTHING since your bluetooth were never on, it's only a battery stat bug, not a bluetooth auto-activation bug.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
I don't know who yuou are answering with this but I've seen several people complain that Bluetooth drains battery with Siyah 5, though I have not experienced this as I don't use Bluetooth... (and I haven't experienced any drain with anything else either, though Siyah 4 generally seem to have better battery life)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ruzzah:
They said multiple times that the battery drains from Bluetooth, even though it is disabled. Last few pictures showed it using days of battery on the settings panel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spiralzz:
Well, I dunno... he *might* be right, I forgot to check BBS for any BT related wake locks when it happened to me. Only the battery option in system settings showed xx hours of Bluetooth on. Plus, my battery drainage was pretty normal.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Well, as I haven't had these issues it's all speculation from my side anyway so... But from my experience it seems clear that the last days builds + Siyah 5 hasn't been very good in terms of battery life, at least it doesn't feel that way to me. But I might also be totally wrong, hehe...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
nope i would say u r right.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karendar:
I've been draining a bit faster here, ever since getting Siyah 5 on my phone (Since b2), I can't get a full day's worth of battery. So I'd say you're right. But might also be my battery that's giving out.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Well, I think it's the builds - but the bad thing about it is, these newer batteries without 'memory' actually do better when NOT drained fully before charging them, so bad battery life = lower battery voltages before charging = shorter (physical-) battery life...
