make sure you write the command properly with spaces where they should be:

watch_-n_1_cat_/proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

I put '_' where spaces should be, replace the '_' with space. except for "entropy_avail", this should have '_' and not space.

where are your ringtones are saved? put your ringtones under "Ringtones" folder in the root of your device memory and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cosmin G.:
I have a folder with all my music. This problem started happen few builds ago. Before this, everything was OK, I didn't have to put ringtones in root/.../Ringtones folder.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xolera:
OK, but sometimes(seconds) goes below 3000, average is over 3800 to 4069. It's working?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Agent_Adodas:
You don't need to put them under root. on your device memory there are several folders named "Music", "Movies", "Pictures". take the ringtone file and put it under the "Ringtone" folder. when updating builds your ringtone will not change.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Agent_Adodas:
Yes, this is OK. Its generation of random data, these values are OK.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cosmin G.:
Yeah, ok. But I didn't had this problem before... why now ? It's not normal to have to put your ringtones in the system defined folders so they don't change when rebooting the phone...

Ricardo CerqueiraYesterday 18:20 (edited) - Public

I should've learned by now that sarcasm doesn't translate well on the internet :)

So to be clear... IMNSHO, the recent entropy pool fad is bull****. The only users of /dev/random are libcrypto (used for cryptographic operations like SSL connections, ssh key generation, and so on), wpa_supplicant/hostapd (to generate WEP/WPA keys while in AP mode), and the libraries that generate random partition IDs when you do an ext2/3/4 format. None of those 3 users are in the path of app execution, so feeding random from urandom does nothing except make random... well... less random

The only conceivable reason some devices may feel faster is because by constantly polling the PRNG, it keeps the device's I/O in constant use (which in turn, depending on device, will make the CPU stick to higher clock frequencies to keep up and/or ramp up the IO scheduler).

[Galaxy S II Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
So had to tell, amongst testing between governors, skia, scheudlers and many rom updates, it feel impossible to measure it without staying with a set for a few days and having similar usage each day etc, if I had a 2 week holiday with nothing to do maybe I could devote my time to creating a daily testing regime to determine.

Either way, everything seems as smooth with and without in many way on many of the features, maybe just a testiment of how good the rom and phone are anyway and the mildness of effects these adjustments make.

Would be nice to bottom all out for sure!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DesertVelo:
I agree... having the time to test and produce consistent results would definitely provide better answers. I have been following and reading comments from some of the top Android programmers and they are not convinced that it is the "silver bullet". Even the coders at Google have weighed in and responded the same. XDA had just posted a comment on their news page that they even jumped the gun on the whole entropy activity.

However, the topic is quite interesting....

Certainly sounds worth while running the kernel cleaner post on this thread.

If that does not work I'd be backing up that second rom, removing the partition and formating them as well, then trying, if it still was going wrong I'd probably start headbutting the wall, the last time that happened to me I did not find out the reason, but I fixed it by going back to official firmware from samsung and then re-rooting lol dirty i know, but it did work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unexist6969:
Don't wipe;p rename .secondrom folder to secrom or something similiar without the [.] behind

Then try latest siyah v4 should be no problem and if you wna use your 2nd rom just rename it back to .secondrom (siyahv4 won't boot then)

But stock kernel should boot it without any problems.

irrelevant anecdote, a friend of mine has a Galaxy S i9000, it was still on Éclair 2.1! LOL

On topic, latest kernel seems good, so fixing the entropy seems to have made some positive alterations to performance.

There sure is a lot of learning on this thread, its good :) Much better than people discussing which bloatware was pointless in the other roms sets ;)

Re the seeder issue, I suspect it's correct to think that lack of entropy itself is not the core problem; however, rngd seems to trigger kernel behaviour that hides the underlying issue, so for the time being I'm rather happy with it as a workaround. Not sure if the patch in the latest kernel build is the correct fix, either.

Hi mcm,

I updated to new build 4.1.12. I deleted config.txt and run 21config script . After reboot i edited the config.txt file and noticed this:

Touch screen movhysti: cm default(15), siyah(5), disable

TOUCH_MOVE=2

What is the value '2'? Its not linked to any parameter. Is it supposed to be "disabled"?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fr3quency:
Maybe it's touch sensitivity. On exTweaks it's always to "2" pixels and I set it to "4"-"5" pixels.

Btw, I don't have this one on Siyah. o_O; Maybe it's for stock cm kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killerdude7777:
can anyone shed some light on linaro toolchain...and if it can be used to build our kernels and roms??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Makes no difference, seeder does nothing... It's the same placebo thing as every new Rom/kernel is even smoother/faster than the previous one. By this time we're all supposedly running octocore-speed 120Hz Melted Slippery Butter Smooth phones. But ymmv, people are raving about it.

For me it does nothing whatsoever. Not very strange, considering articles like this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
No, the entropy chnages are in support of the seeder implementation, so I am guessing MCM is still interested to see if there is benefit in seeder and has made alterations in aiding it processes, I think anyway, hopefully he may well comment over the next couple of days once he has test this out himself.

EDIT maybe I am wrong then, looking in misc in stweaks, you can choose those entropy modes etc, looks like a day or two of testing :)

Cheers mcm for developing the kernel further :)

EDIT 2: I suppose what would really help is if we were given a set of parameters to test by, then more of us could carry out scenario tests for mcm, if a set of tools could be agreed on that test out alterations introduced, but with so much disagreance on whether any benchmark can be trusted how could we achieve a common testing procedure between us all, any idea's?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ephraim:
It's the vitalij value. The default for sgs2 is 15. If you install siyah or dorimanx kernel, look it on the screen tab using extweaks or stweaks and you can find it there. Basically what it does is it determines how many pixel your hand moved by the time you touched the screen and for it to register as a swipe. The default value 2 means that you need to move your hand (finger) about 2 pixels for it to register as a swipe. I personally set it to 0 to make it more sensitive.

P.s Some apps have their own some sort of vitalij value so not all can be affected by this change. You can test it using tegrak's touch move in the market.

We're all trying to get the best experience with what we have at the moment. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the official release. Allow us to enjoy these small increases in performance in the mean time. I know you want maximum battery life and pure butter, we all want that too. It's not here yet, we all know it and we don't need to be reminded every few posts.

I'm still using this build and with one restart a day it's been great. No more running back to neatrom for me.
