Hey guys what's this new boot to gecko feature?

Sent from my Galaxy SII i9100 running ICS Remix Rom 1.8.1 with Siyah Kernel

It looks very cool but it's probably a little bit hairy for most users to install atm. Basically its a web app based operating system which uses Android style Linux drivers to control the phone hardware but does so using fancy web apps and APIs instead of the Virtual space Android apps run in. In fact it uses zero Android code except some Android Linux kernel stuff.

We're lucky cos Mozilla are developing it initially using our device. DOUBLY lucky we can dual boot with this amazing kernel and have both

I used a quadrant benchmark just to check the difference with 1600mhz
But, it seems to recognize only one core, not the two of them?

Can someone tell me if they are getting the dual-core experience@1600mhz?
Thank you

Quadrant only tests one core which you can confirm by checking it with adb while running the benchmark (unless you played around with settings in extweeks and turned the second core off).

Try using CF-Bench, it activates both cores.

Thanks you described it perfectly

S2 FTW! On a side note, latest siyah is brilliant I like the new minimum brightness levels it should push my screen on time beyond 7 hours

When add..Super AMOLED mDNIe +, sharp, beautiful colors with no yellowing

Curious about this myself. Haven't heard anything about supercurios mythical screen tuning app in a long time. I wonder if myfluxi is working on this as we already have the gamma control in extweaks.

Do we already have colour control but no app to control the interface?

Supercurio any news as to the fate of our screens would be appreciated.

Just been reading up on it.

So as yet we can install B2G using Odin or mobile Odin I presume to the primary rom and then clone to secondary rom.

Second we manually copy over the second rom data and cache partitions with custom replacements.

Thirdly, and this is the bit I'm hazy about, we need to "build" the actual "front end" UI for B2G that Mozilla have made to demo it and use ADB to copy it....well somewhere.... somewhere hidden

nope, mine works well dude

in the Settings>set in Regional Band to "North America"

then,

in Audio>Method>set to "Galaxy S2 Test"

hope it helps

not working here. which version of the kernel are you using?

PD: sorry my poor english

Dualboot with B2G.

I followed all steps from this thread, the Mozilla B2G thread AND Vilain Rom.

After everything is set up, my boot screen hangs :

booting for the second ROM...

Shall I wait for ages first time, or chances there is something wrong are high?

My 2 cents is there is something wrong in my install :-(

Frequency Step Counts & VDD Interface - Easy Script

After introducing support to change Frequency Table / Frequency Step Counts, even though there's an interface in ExTweaks to change the stepcounts, some users are finding it hard to implement your UV values through script or apps when you change frequency steps.

As you know 3 to 18 steps are possible as available frequency steps with one condition - 500 800 and 1000 mhz should be present. Here is a flashable zip to install an init.d script to change your frequency steps and implement your undevolting easily. This is the content of the script. Go through before flashing.

Code:

#!/sbin/busybox sh

stepcount="18"

F_STEP3="1000 800 500"
F_STEP4="1000 800 500 200"
F_STEP5="1200 1000 800 500 200"
F_STEP6="1400 1200 1000 800 500 200"
F_STEP7="1500 1400 1200 1000 800 500 200"
F_STEP8="1600 1400 1200 1000 800 500 200 100"
F_STEP9="1600 1500 1400 1200 1000 800 500 200 100"
F_STEP10="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1000 800 500 200 100"
F_STEP11="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 800 500 200 100"
F_STEP12="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 800 500 200 100"
F_STEP13="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 500 200 100"
F_STEP14="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 200 100"
F_STEP15="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 200 100"
F_STEP16="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100"
F_STEP17="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 50"
F_STEP18="1600 1500 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 50 25"

TEMP_FREQ_STEPS='eval "echo \$F_STEP$stepcount"'
FREQ_STEPS=`eval $TEMP_FREQ_STEPS`

echo $FREQ_STEPS > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
echo "-25" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

Just change the value of the variable "stepcount" in the script to have a different frequency step count. For ex: if you set stepcount="6", and reboot, you will have 6 step frequencies - 1400 1200 1000 800 500 200
As you can see, i have used VDD interface to UV on the fly. (last line) I have just UVed 25mV. If you need more, just change the value to -50 or -100. ex: echo "-100" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels. This will reduce 100 mV from all voltage levels of your frequencies. After making changes in script, reboot. If there's an app that could implement this interface, it would be great.
Use the second zip to remove the script when you don't need it.

EDIT: Please remove any script in init.d that sets freq steps or undervolt, before flashing this zip. Else it may cause lockups.

No need to say sorry dude we can understand it well.

Man, Gokhan surely is really fast

.

too bad its not working for you. i hope you will find a solution for that

Its a sign that you didnt do format on secondary data... did you do it

Need help
I've installed siyah kernel 3.2.1on CM9 11/5 then installed resurrection ics 1.8 as the secondary rom but cannot get it to boot no matter I press the screen,volume up/down or the power button ?,
What's the problem ?! It only boots in CM9 !!!!

Shame on me ...forgot the essential : 3.2.2

I was trying with 3.2.1 !!!

Now B2G boots fine. Let's build Gaia now and write a quick How-to in my thread.

JimboJoe · May 14, 2012

Just got a SOD with 3.2.1.

d3l1 · May 14, 2012

Total lockup with 3.2.2 had to restart pressing the power button for 10 seconds. I'll post the kmsg later, stupid tapatalk won't let me upload text files.

Thank You master. I was thinking since a few weeks now building B2G and dual boot. Was not so sure it would be so easy!!

Thanks to you and Pulser, I have now a working dual boot CM9/B2G device. Really like this idea and will keep this configuration for a while, as I am not interested in other ICS custom ROM than CM9.

B2G is slow on my device, and calls are buggy : people can't hear me. I think you already tested it, was it same for you?

For those of you having some interest, I will write soon a quick and dirty How-To in my thread.

Map question

Gokhanmoral great kernel thanks - I have a quick question for you & hoping you know the answer - is it a function of the kernel or the rom that enables Message Access Profile via bluetooth? If it is the kernel is there a mod/zip I can apply ?

d3f1ant · May 14, 2012

GM, would it be possible to tie the touch key brightness to the light sensor? Ie have auto brightness as an option in extweeks.
Sorry if this has been asked before and I missed it.
