[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
Hello. sorry if it has been already posted, but I want only "up-to-date" answers.

I have some questions:

1. Which is the best governor to use ( for this kernel ) for a balance between battery and performance ( I use lulzactive right now, I heard that it's very good for a balance between those two but it seems like ondemand is doing a lot better when it comes to battery life )

2. I don't mind OC'ing the CPU but the GPU yes. I want to play games such as Real Racing 3 with acceptable FPS, so I need a boost for the GPU. What settings to use here?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Ondemand and row.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
Don't know what governor does Siyah have,but you need to try out "cfq" scheduler with "slp" governor.I think only Apolo kernel has that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
what do you mean by 'row' ?

[MENTION=4962306]GamingDj[/MENTION] siyah kernel governors:

ondemand

pegasusq

lulzactive

lulzactiveq

conservative
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Scheduler row

Gov ondemand
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
Andrew is right...from these Row with ondemand is the best.Are you on Stock ROM 4.1.2? If so,then I recommend you trying out Apolo.Maybe extreme v0 or Regular.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
Thanks.

I may try thoses ROM but I enjoy the stock ROM, I would change it just for better performance in gaming ( and as I know, the ROM's aren't for that )

edit: oops Apolo is a kernel.. well, as I know, the Siyah Kernel is the best for this phone, isn't it?

but still: no overclock settings for the GPU?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
I think dorimanx is the best. It's siyah based and updated alot by a cracking dev
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
i may give it a try. let's hope it's better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
If you like stock then you should try out alliance or biftor ect ect. These are custom stock roms that work lovely and if you mix it up with a little dorimanx you end up with a kick ass phone. Not to put down Apollo kernel as that is really good for battery but Dori is better for tuning cpu/gpu ov/uv.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhosh502:
With siyah kernel flashed in ur phone u get an app called extweaks or stweaks. This app too was developed by gokhan moral. U can go to GPU tab and change the GPU frequency step. Be careful and don't go beyond 400mhz. It may heat up your phone very much. I use this settings for increasing the smoothness of the phone. And one more thing. Gradually increase the steps.Don't keep the 1st step as 300 or 400. I recommend 160 or 200.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
hmm.. i really want to try dorimanx, but, can i flash it over the siyah or i have to somehow delete siyah first?

is the stock ROM that bad? i see that you insist changing it.. as i said: i would change the ROM only if it has performance improvements ( in games, because the stock ROM is doing pretty good in others ) but as I know ROM's aren't for gaming.

[MENTION=5350230]santhosh502[/MENTION] i know it's all about the frequencies. but i need all of the steps. not just the first one. what are you using?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Nope just flash it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
okay, thanks, what settings do you recommend for this kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
On demand and row
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
thanks again. i will try it, let's hope it's better than Siyah.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Just remember that siyah is for stock and not cm/aokp roms. Dorimanx is for both. 8.xx is stock and custom and 9.xx is for custom only.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhosh502:
I use siyah kernel. But u can download stweaks in play store too. The link for steps is here. Be careful as ur hands might get burned. :p http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1657491
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
I understand that you can use siyah with cm/aokp but not supported by dev. Dorimanx is a much safer bet for stability
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
Is it true that I can't run Dorinmanx 9.xx on stock ROM?

And.. what do you think about CM ROM? Is it worth trying?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
To me I hate Cm but love aokp roms. And no you can't run 9.xx on stock bht you can use 8.xx for both stock and custom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
I suppose the 9.xx versions are a lot better than the 8.xx, am I right? If so, I have to change the ROM.

I think CM is a good choice in this case ( even if I prefer stock rom, or maybe similar to stock roms ) because of the 4.3 Android version. I wanted to know if the ROM is doing good with the battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Try out the unofficial 4.3 aokp I'm dualbooting it on S3 and it's nice and fast. If you like stock then try out the custom stock roms.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
yeah but they have to be supported by 9.xx versions and i dont really know which ones are supported.. which android version is needed for mali v2 drivers?

btw, i can't find the unofficial aokp for s2, only for nexus 7 and galaxy tab...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Right for stock based rom ie stock or custom stock use 8.xx and for cm/aokp use 9.xx. also aokp 4.3 is posted on aokp 4.2 thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
I decided to stay with the stock ROM. I don't see why I shall upgrade to a stock ROM, excepting the Android version. I`m going to use only the Dorimanx kernel and that's it.

Or.. isn't there any ROM that is exactly ( or almost ) same to the stock ROM but with the newest Android version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
No there is not. Remember Dori 8.xx for stock
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burningcow:
that's it.. let's hope there aren't that many differences between android 4.1.2 and 4.3 :)

thanks for all your help!

Hey guys I was wondering if any one can help me here I have an issue and its bothering me like hell

So I bought my new AT&T one x and there was an update available (sense 5 update) and when I downloaded I pressed on update now and the phone turned off and just in the middle of the update , the installation shows an error triangle with exclamation mark and the phone restarted and nothing happened !

I need help updating it and without rooting my phone ...

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rejovinated:
I don't think there's an official sense 5 update from AT&T yet? What is your current firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There is no Sense 5 update for at&t yet. Was the phone used? Does it respond at all when you try to power it on now?

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RollTribe:
So it sounds like you tried updating, it failed, and then you just rebooted back into android. I had this problem a while back. You can update via RUU, though it'll wipe your phone. Are you rooted? Also, there's no official Sense 5 for AT&T One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
No my phone is not and was not rooted .. i bought newly yesterday

To be honest i dont know if its at&t but it is the one xl , the dual core one , unlocked (unlocked for any gsm network)

I really need help..

And if there is no official sense 5 then why do i get an update available when i scan ?? And it says sense 5 in the update info..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rejovinated:
You don't know what carrier you're on? There is an update for sense 5 but not for AT&T. Anyways just fyi, but sorry don't know how to fix your issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
How can you not know which carrier you're with? Before you think about taking an OTA we need to see your bootloader details first. To get to the bootloader turn off your phone, once it's completely off hold the volume down button and then the power button (so you're holding them together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down until it reaches the white screen with text. This is your bootloader, please post the first five lines.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
Oh , haha , sorry for the mistake.. i thought the dual core one x is nessesarly at&t...

My phone is unlocked but still did not get a sim card yet .. although it will be from pelephone, im from Israel .

Ps: my phone is from hong kong china , i bought it on ebay

And I do not want to root if there is an update , since there is i just need help installing it..

Do I need a working , carrier to install updates?

I already did check every single detail the moment I got my phone !

I even called my friend to come over to compare his ONE x with mine and no difference at all ! maybe the only difference is that my phone is faster XD , yet I am assuming it wont update because I have no sim card yet (no carrier)...

any more ideas ?

So I got my sim card and I checked for updates and installed it , and did the same problem , got stuck with triangle and exclamation mark in it (in red color) and restarted after a minute or some thing and nothing changed ...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It isn't working because your CID was changed to SuperCID (11111111) by the previous owner of the phone. You need to change it back to the original CID fit the update to work. Is it definitely the at&t model? If so it should have the at&t logo at the top of the screen instead of the HTC logo.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
Well... I bought the htc one xl from ebay , the dual core... It is unlocked and now my carrier is celcum since i put the celcum sim in my one xl... I am from Israel .. though the device i bought was brand new according to the seller... On top there is htc logo not at&t since its unlocked..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Sorry man, but your phone is pre-owned. If you really want the official update you need to change the CID to the original CID, the problem is you don't know what the original CID is. I'd contact the seller and firstly complain, and ask for a partial refund.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
Ok I sent my seller a message of complain and he better answer me soon ! yet the device feels brand new ... even if it was pre owned I can accept it since I bought it for cheap money .. I get what I pay for .. any wayz I asked him for an original CID and when he gives it to me will it take me a long term process to change my CID back to the original ??

and thanks a lot for your help I appreciate it !!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The process to change the CID back is pretty easy, it's one fastboot command. Luckily the phone is s-off so you can change the CID as many times as you wish to. You'll need adb/fastboot installed on your pc, as well as HTC drivers.

The other option is to unlock the bootloader at htcdev, install a custom recovery (TWRP), and install a custom Sense 5 ROM (or any ROM for that matter). We have them in our development section and they range from completely stock to seriously tweaked, either way it's the same experience as you'd have by taking the official update.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
Welll... The seller doesnt know the original cid and he still claims that all their phones sre brand new... Is there by any chance i can know my original cid besides asking the seller?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There isn't really any way to tell once the CID has been changed. You should be able to use any CID as long as you use the corresponding RUU to go with it.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
I mean is there certain number of CIDs that I can try out and see which is original or its all random numbers and come with random phones ?

in that case I will try to push my seller to spell it out , otherwise I will have to root my phone ..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Here are certain CID's that area designated to this model which depend on carrier/manufacturer. For example the at&t CID is CWS__001, the Telstra cid is TELST_01, I believe the HTC Hong Kong CID is HTC__621. So if you want to run the HTC Hong Kong RUU you must use the HTC Hong Kong CID. You must keep in mind that being s-on only shows you to change the CID one time and one time only.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
well the good news is as I already mentioned I am on S-OFF and if I want to try the chinese CID what should I do next ?

download the HTC-sync from the HTC website

and what else ?

and if the cid was wrong what happens ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I forgot that you're s-off. If you want to use the HTC Hong Kong RUU, just change the CID to the appropriate CID (which is actually HTC__622), download the RUU from androidruu.com and run it. You don't need HTC Sync, you actually need to uninstall it because it gets in the way of RUU process.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
sorry I am just new on these things I think I need a step by step guide haha XD

1-download the RUU from this website : (androidruu.com) and which one should I choose from the list exactly ?

2-uninstall htc sync

3-should I connect my phone and just run the ruu ?

4-will it format my stuff from the device?

5-Do I need to change my CID ? or just run the RUU and it will do its thing ?

6-sorry for the too much questions I just dont wanna break any thing...

PS : Running an RUU thing is like updating manually right ? I mean cant I just change my CID to the original hong kong CID and then just update through (check for updates ) ? :D

and another thing ... What if the ruu is wrong or the CID is wrong or I am just new I dont know what I am saying , though what I am trying to say is , if any thing goes wrong I can fix it , and it wont be a problem right ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The latest RUU for HTC Hong Kong is here.

Yes you must uninstall HTC Sync. All you need to do is connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU exe file, make sure no other programs are running and make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off.

It doesn't usually format the sd card but it's best to backup important stuff just in case, it will erase all texts, call logs etc.

This RUU is Android 4.0 so afterwards you need to take OTA updates to get it to 4.2.2 Android. To use the OTA updates you definitely need the correct CID, but do this before running the RUU. To change your CID use this fastboot command:

fastboot oem writecid HTC__622

Then confirm that it was successful by using this command:

fastboot oem readcid

An RUU basically returns the phone to a completely stock state, including recovery. There is always a risk involved with running an RUU, if it fails halfway through for some reason you could end up with a brick. It isn't common though unless a user makes a error.

Once the RUU is finished your can boot it up into the OS and check for updates in the settings menu. If none show up you'll need to download and apply the OTA updates manually.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
are you sure this is the appropriate RUU ?

my baseband version is the next :

0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L

and what if the CID is wrong (sorry for being questionable and negative) then I install the RUU and it says its wrong ? or just break ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yes that's the most recent RUU for HTC Hong Kong. Why don't you just unlock your bootloader at htcdev? It's a whole lot easier and then you can run custom ROMs.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
true that , I just want to try the official update thats all...

in both ways I need to download fastboot/adb so installing RUU is easier than rooting , and I am new I dont wanna break any thing since rooting makes the warranty go...

so now I need adb fastboot which I can get from where exactly ?

again sorry for bothering you answering all my questions ..and thanks ! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can Google search where to download adb/fastboot and how to install it. Do you actually have a warranty? Seeing as it looks as though your phone is pre-owned.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
well .. the seller guarantees 100% 1 year warranty so yah ...

ok then I will try to get back to the original CID and install the RUU and check for updates and if it did not work I will root :)

thanks for your help I appreciate it :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:

now just run the RUU you gave me ?

no bricks will happen ??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I can't guarantee no brick will occur as there is always a risk involved when undertaking any modifications to your device. If your CID is HTC_622 and you're using the Hong Kong RUU this risk should be minimal though.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madshark2009:
If some thing went wrong and got a brick I will be able to fix it on my own right ??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, if something goes wrong and you end up with a brick there's basically nothing you can do. There is an Evita unbricking thread, but to be honest, most attempts fail. If you brick you'd need to have your phone jtag repaired, which is roughly $50-$60 USD. Like I said though, the chance is minimal. Minimal, but not zero.

Every time I flash something to my device I accept that I'm taking a risk, but I'm able to mitigate it as much as possible by making sure I know what I'm doing and I follow correct procedure. This is something I generally do multiple times each week, and I'm yet to brick a device. Most bricks occur from pure ignorance, with a very small percentage occurring from plain bad luck. I'd like to think we've given you the right information and tools to mitigate the risk for you as much as is possible.
