Wow. Hold on. So flash ROM + Siyah won't boot. Flash ROM, reboot, flash Siyah works?

I'd love others to try that too. The jb_mali + Siyah combo is an amazing thing. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
I've tried, it doesn't work.

I've tried everything.

I'll stick with mcm latest final build till samsung pull his fingers out of his ass too, but the flashaholic in me is sad :(.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
worked for me. I was getting the black screens. read a post a while back that said with a boot/reboot in between flashing mali and siyah = no black screen. suppose it got lost in the endless lag and smoothness posts. either way everyone give it a try and report back. might be motivation for mcm to come back
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
I'm not happy that I can't get it to work now. I got it to work once then flashed the vsync to try that out, and now I've tried loads of times, loads of different ways and can't get the damn thing to work. When I've time I'll try with full wipe.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] oddlyshapedstickman:
I managed to get Mali + Siyah working by doing this:

1.) Reboot to recovery.

2.) Wipe data, cache & dalvik.

3.) Format system

4.) Flash Mali ROM + gapps.

5.) Wipe cache & dalvik.

6.) Fix permissions.

7.) Without rebooting flash Siyah Mali.

8.) Reboot.

No promises but it worked for me and it's amazing, comparable to N7 JB.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Don't kill me for asking but you are using the right files, hehe? Any wrong combo will NOT boot anyways I mean... ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
tried that but no go for me.

wipe cache/dalvik

flash mali/gapps

reboot to Android

reboot to recovery

flash siyah

reboot and it worked

I used last mali and siyah versions released
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
Latest final mali and siyah1005. Just downloaded that siyah from you. Gonna try that overboard way from above post tomoz.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
The way that works is the way that works, overboard or not. :)

So I hope it does. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
it worked for at least 2 of us
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
Fingers crossed then. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wsoubar:
Guys, I will try that.

Gimme siyah 1005 link

If it helps i came from the vsync build + siyah. I didnt reset my extweaks settings anytime in the process and my old settings (vsync) were retained after mali/siyah was up and running
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
OK seems my drop box is over flooded ( probably more than 2 people :) ) all I can think of is 4share being stuck on my phone only. So I will pm you what I have

I sent files if you don't have already its under mcm kernels :)

So... is the fpu siyah vsync kernel 'smoother' than the non fpu vsync kernel? Damn those words...

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hypergamer1231:
So I have the latest build which was uploaded 1 hr ago and the question is that is there any build after that and which kernel do I use. Also if I dual boot this Rom as my second Rom can I install a seperate kernel for my second rom please help cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bojcha:
flashed 19.09 and 20.09 two times to confirm that 19.09 Rom is way better :|
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Tried fpu_neon kernel? I heard it glows in the dark.

And how do you mean 'better'..? For battery? Stability? Womanizing? It's a broad spectrum.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hypergamer1231:
lol :cyclops:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bojcha:
Ofc.. first what i checked is that 20.09 + vsinc_neon siyah and i noticed bit more stutering with finger scrolling. Also more (i think) vsync errors on free-scrolling.

Then flashed back 19.09 + siyah_vsinc and stutering bit less and fre-scrolling almost without errors.

Even more difference... I flashed only rom. 20.09 is WAY more stuttering errors non-stop, back to 20.09, again almost no error.

clear? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] samsungmario:
Can someone post the 20120917 version rom pls? I want to go back and run some tests. Download site does not have the previous versions.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jackierobinson:
Not a fan of the linaro build. I shouldn't have flashed. I've been extremely happy on your first build, and haven't touched my phone for days. But I got the itch.

On the first build with siyah It was so smooth I almost never saw a stutter. Linaro is stuttering a lot for me. Plus 2 apps have crashed already, where as I didn't get one crash in 3 days on the last one.

At least my itch is gone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Yeah, just re-flashed 19.09 and trying the fpu_neon kernel - and it's more responsive than 20.09. Or it's all placebo and we're all idiots. That's probably just as likely I think. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sam87:
man siyah kills mtp for me, tried extweaks and foced mtp but still nothing. and i love me some mtp :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
Is it just me, or these build run a bit hotter, and drain battery a bit faster? I'm comparing it with normal CM10 and Dorimanx Kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
As I sometimes play 'Angry Birds' and I want to do that without my phone actually starting a nuclear fission reaction, so I underclock to 900 Mhz. I never noticed any difference in performance though, but it generates a lot less heat.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fr3quency:
First of all, someone explain what FPU is. I did search and didn't find anything, apart from a wikipedia link.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Hey, Symbian is pretty good for non-touch devices. At least it's friendly and it's usable and can break the ice. N95 is a nice phone, compared to the iPhone I used for 3 days. I got really bored with the iPhone, imagined myself throwing it on the wall after 2 weeks of use, but fortunately, sold it and got a spare N95.

Probably I'll get my Nexus till tomorrow, already read some stuff about it and prepared to connect to PC, flash Jellybean and CWM and then CM10. And I gotta say, it's something much easier, no binarycounter, if you need the warranty after unlocking bootloader, you just flash original firmware and lock bootloader.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LMBBananaJoe:
isnt it ironic people complaining about i9100g's inferior cpu but we i9100 owners underclock because it gets to warm
[Galaxy S II Android Development] streetsmart999:
cm-10-20120920-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100-linaro_12.08-changmin.zip has been Removed? I downloaded it before it was removed... so any reason I should not flash?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gustavo_s:
people are saying its laggy, maybe we will see another build soon
[Galaxy S II Android Development] streetsmart999:
I will wait then.. :) also big thanks to (I clicked thanks button too) mcm811 for all your hard-work. We appreciate it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I talked a bit with Gokhanmoral, and asked about screen-off scalings.

Isn't very good to limit your CPU at screen-off, and I guess it also applies for screen-on at some point.

It's tested that 1 second running at 1200MHz is much better and consumes less than 6 seconds running at 200MHz. Based on that, I think it's also better to keep stock values and don't limit CPU freqs that way. It must be done at kernel level, like on fluxi kernel, as gokhan said. I always used a screenstate scaling script, but as I'm not with my i9100, I can't test without it now.

Here's original PM

What you guys think? I think it's pretty solid, common sense can be wrong, as you can see. Didn't know that about 1200MHz-1sec consuming less than 200MHz-6secs, and anyone would tell it's the opposite.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
It's a phone. A phone. If a dualcore CPU running at 1 Ghz + can't drive the apps in your phone , they are badly coded. Imo it's as simple as that. And they are - badly coded. 'Angry Birds Seasons' is a pretty good example I think - some levels don't make the phone hot at all, others almost melts is - that just gotta be the coding, right?

And I dislike the Iphone as much as the next Android user but man did they optimize the code. And I know, there's a lot of fakery going on to make the user believe it's running faster and smoother than it is, but some things, like the touch response in Safari, maps, earth, that's just so way beyond Android, even on a SGS3'a or other 4 core device.

And I guess it's this thing that 'project butter' is all about, to give Android the same responsiveness - we (or at least I) already felt part of that difference in the stock browser, using this build... :)

@Marcellocord

One of my best friends will argue the N95 is the best phone ever made. And I still use a Nokia Symbian phone for calling, coverage & battery life is unmatched in the smartphone world and will be for years to come I think... :)

Edit: In regard to underclocking - I do that to keep the device cooler, not for battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] readon1:
Which one of 1006?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Which one do you want Mali is on top
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
This is mali

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bombaybadboy:
Thats Mali build alright I'm running it now and its good
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bulldozer1021:
thx for the new build.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
Thank you so much for the build mcm811 :).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cornholio_rules:
New Build!!! Welcomeback master mmc811!!! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
1. Great to see a new build, mcm811. Thank you. :)

2. Wft happened to the Codeworkx thread? I thought it was bad when I posted crap in it, but now it's way worse. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
2. Didn't think it could get worse.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cornholio_rules:
What's happening there? Do you think the imminent retirement of mcm811 is because of Codeworkx? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
I wasn't active in it and it got worse. Such an unlikely scenario, who could ever have foreseen that? :D

Naeh, it's just full of people asking about Siyah mixed with other people getting upset over it. And that's about it, hehe... It's a loop of horrificness.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cornholio_rules:
That's certainly not good. The remaining devs could get very pissed off. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
The dev's have been pissed off for a thousand pages, at least. I don't get why they just don't start like a "CM10 general thread" where people could ask these dumb questions without being flamed or bothering the dev's - but I guess it wouldn't matter anyway, seems people just don't learn. Someone goes ape$h!7 over someone asking why Siyah doesn't work. Next page, someone else asks why Siyah doesn't work. And it's noobs who ask and noobs who get pissed off, hehe... It's just a mess.

But hey, this is amazingly off topic, this I know as I started it (as usual, hehe) - but anyway, lets get back to the awesomeness.

So I just installed 1006 jb_mali with Siyah 1005 jb_mali... Works like a charm and better performance again. Quadrant still at about 3300 points and Antutu jumped from yesterdays 6000 to 6300+ points with 1006... And it generally feels very nice indeed. Location + Camera works and everything... :D

Awesome work, Changmin! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cornholio_rules:
Yeah, I know they're pissed off, but I hope they don't get to the point to get out of I9100 branch, like Codeworkx did on the GS3. Noobs need to be more educated, but I think that's impossible, noobs will always break the rules. Sorry for the OT too.

Changmin's builds can get only better and better. I run at the moment yesterday's final build all stock and it's awesome. I've only noticed that when I run Quadrant, the 2D test is not shown, I get a black screen and in the 3D tests, just in the “planet” one, it doesn't reach more than 45 fps. Overall it gets less than 3100 points.

You’re very lucky to be able to run siyah but I’m very happy with all stock mali. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] t-pip:
Hi mcm811 great to NOT see you have abandoned us. Thanks for everything. And if any of us regulars can do anything to help let us know.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Everything draws when I run the tests, benefits of Siyah then...

Did you try that flash ROM, reboot, flash Siyah-trick? Seems to have worked for some...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
So the above is how i finally got the mali 1005 - 2nd final and siyah-mali 1005 working on my phone when all other attempts ended in blackscreen.

Today i flashed mail 1006 and siyah-mali 1005 the traditional way and it booted, so whatever has happened it seems my phone is fixed for future mali/siyah builds.

When i say traditional i mean:

wipe cache/dalvik

flash cm-mali 1006

flash gapps

flash siyah-mali 1005

reboot

Thanks MCM, love your work and good to see you back
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Cool. Really hope this works for other users too then. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
Yeah, be good if some people would test and report back so we knew if my theory was correct or just a fluke
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cornholio_rules:
Nah, I guess I can live without Siyah at the moment. Maybe I'll try it if Changmin continues developing, who knows.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uppon2:
Thanks for all of your help Farmfield. I used to be a very nice contributor. I would usually PM the person having the problem and tell them what I know and even teach them some things sometimes, in return I made them promise me they would PM someone for an answer to a problem and to give them the same knowledge. This didn't go very far but it did work slightly.

You will never rid lazy people, however sometimes people are sincerely worried that they have bricked their phone or something like that, and get frustrated and panic and rush for answers. Other than that there is no excuse for people to not read the first 2 pages and the last 10 pages, explain they have tried to find it etc.

Now I just ignore repeated questions and if everybody else did the same than it would give the user no other choice but to read, search and learn for themself (Who knows maybe this lesson is what they need to become a developer of their own ROM or similar one day). People don't deserve an answer if they haven't read before flashing, it's rude to go straight to download then ask questions last.

Anyway back on topic, I'm glad to see a new release. I look forward to more if the dev plans it. If not than I would like to say thank you to him and to all of you guys that support the thread and make reading interesting rather than repetitive. Everyone just get along :D Peace to you all
[Galaxy S II Android Development] t-pip:
Just installed 1006 Mali and 1005 siyah. Worked first time. Never got it to work before.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
doesn't work for me.

Flashed today's build, booted

manually deleted all init.d scripts

flashed siyah

wipe cache and davlik

still no boot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Muchoaliento:
Sorry 2 bother you, but could you please specify the steps you took ? I mean, any reboot in between, erase init.d folder...

It is because neither did I could make siyah work with Mali
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
We now have 3 variants, for those who it just works, for those who it works, if they do something weird and those for who it doesn't, whatever they do. This is so messed up. And think how the dev's at Samsung must scratch their heads, porting new stuff to these S2's... :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] t-pip:
Installed ROM

Installed Kernel

Wiped cache

Wiped dalvik

Fixed permissions

That's it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Exactly like me though I also install gapps after the kernel. It's supposedly meaningless, I know, but I made it into a routine, hehe... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
I didnt clear init.d or reset extweaks when i did it.

So coming from vsync/siyah combo with already tweaked battery profile in extweaks

cleared cache/dalvik

flashed cm-mali

flashed gapps

reboot into android and let it do its thing

reboot to recovery

flash siyah

reboot and enjoy mali/siyah goodness

all my siyah settings in extweaks remained from the vsync version

and today flashed 1006 mali and 1005 siyah the normal way and no blackscreen

clear cache/dalvik

flash cm-mali 1006

flash gapps

flash siyah 1005

so maybe clearing the init.d has something to do with it. seems to be the only variable
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
nope, 'cause clearing it or not has done nothing in my case, you're just lucky, that's all.

trust me, I've tried absolutely everything exept wipe data.

You're a lucky one or you're not, period.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
Say I am from 1005 mali build with stock kernel and I just have to:

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Wipe system

Flash mali

Flash gapps

Flash siyah? Or wipe cache & dalvik cache and fix permissions and reboot to recovery and flash siyah? Or reboot and settle down and reboot to recovery and flash siyah? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
Just flash siyah, it'll work or not whatever you do.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
So if I'm lucky it might work for the first time. Clearing init.d makes no diff. ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
to be honest your guess would be as good as mine. If your already on mali why not just try flash siyah no wipes and see how that goes. If it was me I'd try a vsync/siyah build first, get siyah setup the way u like then follow the steps I did.

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

the point I'm trying to make is that I've tried this at least 10 times on previous mali builds ending up in black screen so whatever I did has fixed it and I can now flash mali/siyah like any other. either way I'm happy, hopefully more of you get it working.

1006/siyah 1005 feels good to me and battery drain that was reported dosnt seem to be affecting me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Yeah, I said this before, that I have this nagging feeling that we who don't have any issues are we who haven't messed around with custom settings... I might be wrong though...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] greenemperor:
Just wake up and see that happened miracles what missing?

I takes pm that must try the new rom,I don't believe,the master come back?:eek:

---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

I saw that there are two Korean kernels,which must choose with new 6/10 jb Mali?

I don't completely wake up :p so please give me some instructions:p

Edit:Just downloaded the 6/10 jb Mali so now may try it with siyah 5/10?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bencairns:
far as I've gone is changed cpu to 100-1000 pegasusq and changed gpu steps and frequency in extweaks. I've never played with scripts, so my settings would be barely classed as custom.

I just tried my steps on my wifes s2 coming from vsync/siyah 1004 going to mali 1006/siyah 1005 and got a black screen. I'll try some things and report back
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheSpaceManatee:
I give up I gotta take a rest from all this siyah conspiracy :banghead:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Yeah, I use the 1005 Siyah jb_mali... :)

Hmm, that's about how much I mess around, governor, i/o and the MHz...

Well, good luck with your wife's device then. You better not kill it or you'll be in real trouble... :D

she can have mine and ill get something else. just wish they would hurry and release the next nexus
[Galaxy S II Android Development] greenemperor:
Just tried to install 6/10 jb Mali with siyah 5/10

Wipe catche/dalvic

Negative,black screen:o

Restored to 2nd final jb Mali.

My device is not friendly with siyah:(

So may install now the 6/10 jb Mali as it is?

I suppose that kernel included...
