Well,did I say that no adjustments would have to be made to fit the new CM9 nightlies?Forget it,something is ****ed up.I had some problems with my previous installation and decided to start from scratch by installing the new nightly(21042012).I installed the nightly,installed Siyah via Mobile Odin,and then I restored my apps with TiBu.I was a happy camper until I rebooted.After the reboot,all my apps that were in the external storage had disappeared.What's strange is that the files are there in the .android_secure folder.What's even stranger is the fact that the damn thing shows the apps in application management,but their icons are grayed out sd-card icons.Titanium also recognizes those an non-installed and it will restore them if I want.BUT,it will create more copies of the applications' files in the .android_secure folder,and the apps will still disappear upon reboot.
I can live with it temporarily,but I really hope that this will be resolved with the next version(s). :)

I have the same problem. CM9 latest nightly and RC6. Not sure if this is a kernel problem.

Alright, I'm a semi-n00b at flashing roms, just end-user knowledge.
I'm currently using cm9 (from 9th april) + rc6(not latest, and dont know which one for obvious reasons :p).
Everything seems fine for now but i want to flash the latest cm9 nightly and siyah.
My last experience of doing this was horrible, cuz of the storage issues.
Im downloading update-cm-9-20120421-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip right now and wanted to know whether its got no issues with latest siyah.
Anyone?
btw is GM's website the only way to download it?
I'd be 99% sure it'll work.

Yes, his website is the only place to download. I believe it generates some ad revenue.

Just to say dual booting is very handy. Particularly useful for me since I generally run AOKP with customised LCD density which plays havoc with the market. By having a 2nd install that is a clean Samsung based ROM I can reboot to that every couple of days to update my apps:
1. Full titanium backup in AOKP based rom.
2. Reboot to Samsung rom.
3. Restore updated / new data apps.
4. Run market update / install new apps.
5. Backup updated / new apps.
6. Reboot to AOKP.
7. Restore updated / new apps.

Yes, the signal strength is decent. Almost full bars. I'm guessing its the DHCP messing up causing the wakelocks, and after disabling DHCP, my housemate's PC sending NETBios requests would be the next problem.

Plz try to disable windows sharing and check your wakelocks

after testing it on my device extensively (I had nothing better to do) for a day with several wifi access points, I have decided to rebase my kernel on korean m250l ICS sources.
I have reuploaded rc6 again.
wifi is not the only difference. there are some changes in autobrightness part.
for now, adjusting gamma levels doesn't work. I will add it back when I go home. I'll start driving at 3pm(gmt+3) and I hope that I will finish everything tonight...
I could reproduce losing wifi signal after deep sleep and now it doesn't happen with new rc6.
please test it to make sure everything is working. I could not test usb otg, I will appreciate if you guys can test it and give some feedback on that as well.

I can not reproduce wifi problem after deep sleep with the new release. All runs fine for now.

Hello everyone

I am experiencing problem when with the camera app/camera driver when using Kernel: Siyah Kernel 3.1 Rc6. I have installed the kernel through CWM, using stock rom, and wiped cache and dalvik cache. I am attaching the screen shot. can anyone shed some light on my problem please? or is it a common bug? if it is, then i am sure i can wait till 3.1 comes out.

Thanks in advance

Anyone have used Xbox 360 cobtroller for wndows with wireless receiver with syiah kernel? IT is recognized but I can't map the keys. If someone will give me final solution I'll donate 5$ to him;-)

Firstly if I was you I would try a different rom and kernel just to rule out a hardware failure. If it is the kerenl, your the first person I have seen with this problem. Sorry I couldn't help more :(

Have you tried updating the kernel to the latest update, the one that was made by gm less than two hours back?

I am now pretty sure that newer broadcom wifi driver is way better than the old one.
I cannot reproduce any previous issues neither on cm9 nor on Samsung ROMs.
I have also fixed the USB OTG keyboard/mouse problems on the new kernel.
I will test it a little more before I release.

keep in mind that you will need to install new cm9 rom to be able to use correct sdcard/emmc order.
v3.1 will not be compatible with some aokp roms which do not use the new convension. in that case, use v3.1rc6. I will compile v3.1rc6 again and reupload it after I relesae v3.1.
current rc6 is compatible with old cm9 (works on the new one but you will have wrong sdcard/emmc order).

Hey gokhan,

There are a few people having wlan_rx wakelocks due to the device getting woken up by nearby devices. I don't see this in Speedmod. Could it be due to some netfilter related patches etc?

Can confirm that, until now no excessive wakelocks by wifi, no toggling issue and a way better (like, extreme) signal strength.
Camera bug is existent, but I'm sure nothing to serious to fix :)

Good work once again,
Thanks a lot :)


Edit:

A little feature request,
I remember Siyah supporting proxying (if that is a word :D ) since v2.2b6 or so.
I use Tor. In Google play it says that it supports ICS, so I guess it's not the apps issue (could well be though), but it doesn't work with Siyah.

I know that once one had to change the iptable manually to make it work, but after an update it wasn't necessary any more.

So: if it is kernel related (what I think), I'd really appreciate a fix/support :)

I fully understand of course, that there at more important things to do (dualbooting and stuff)
;) :)

Codeworkx has posted a 0422 buid in the thread that fixes this issue.
The users say it works. I'm still with the 0419 test build, cause it's the last one with working accelerometer & compass.

    • Dual booting support for all supported ROM types. See droidphile's post for Dual Booting FAQ
    • Custom CWM touch recovery with swipe gestures and double-tap selection
    • 6-steps CPU freq
    • 5-step GPU frequency levels. VPLL Mode to have additional frequency steps. defaults frequencies: 66-108-166-267-330.
    • Auto-root. You can also remove root via STweaks app and install it without rebooting your phone again. Auto-root can be disabled as well.

    • Tweakable vitalij's value (set to 5 as default)
    • Adjustable touchpad led brightness
    • Fixed fuelalert wakelocks
    • You can completely disable android logger using STweaks app
    • Faster charging for misc and USB modes. There are 3 modes (AC, Misc, USB) and normally last two of them support only slow charging. You can have charging speed of AC by increasing it (especially user while charging in car or using USB port)
    • Cpu governor optimizations
    • Gpu voltage, clock and stepcount interfaces (GPU Overclock/Undervolt)
    • Screen brightness curve settings with original panel gamma values. panel values unchanged, so you will get stock colors and will be able to use supercurio's voodoo display app when it is released. brightness modification will only change auto-brightness response.
    • BLN support both for Samsung and CM ROMs (you can use STweaks, Nstools or BLNControl app from the market to enable it)
    • Breathing or Blinking effect for BLN. (Make sure you don't enable blinking in any other BLN app) Use STweaks to select one of them.
    • Better touch sensitivity
    • Available CPU Governors: Pegasusq (default), Ondemand, Lulzactive, SmartassV2, Interactive and Conservative, Performance, Userspace, Powersave
    • CIFS as module
    • Available I/O schedulers: CFQ (default), noop, Deadline, SIO, V(R)
    • J4FS as module
    • ARM topology support (SCHED_MC)
    • Automatic EFS Backup
    • Lots of I/O tweaks and filesystem optimizations via some parts of thunderbolt scripts.
    • USB Mass Storage mode is working in CWM Touch Recovery and you can mount both internal and external sdcard as a disk drive
    • NTFS automounting for USB sticks. When you plug in an NTFS formatted USB flash it will be automatically mounted to /mnt/ntfs folder.
    • USB mouse and keyboard support
    • built-in profile support with default, battery and performance presets (you can change them in CWM Recovery). Even using everything default will save you a lot of battery juice.
    • Eargasm for headphone amplification (in STweaks) as free Voodoo Louder replacement
    • Almost everything is configurable such as scheduler features, hotplug thresholds, GPU frequencies, voltages, arm topology modes... and they are configurable via simple and free STweaks app which is embedded in the kernel and soon in Google Play & Opensource
    • Adjustable mDNIe settings
    • optional sharpness tweaks from hardcore
    • mDNIe negative effect toggle with home button (press it four times)
    • Touch gesture support by Tungstwenty. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831254)

    troubleshooting

    siyahkernel-ics-wide1.png

    READ THESE FIRST

    • Never report any bugs to CM9/CM10 threads if you use it together with SiyahKernel
    • Do not ask questions to me directly. This is a common thread, not my personal inbox. Ask your questions in the thread and do not target them to anyone.
    • Do not expect answers to all your questions. There are some questions which nobody knows the answer of.
    • Do not forget that this is a development thread. There is another thread in general section for those who wants to discuss battery life and chats. If your post does not include a feature request, bug report or suggestion it should be posted to the other thread.
    • No ETA for new version. Even if I sometimes talk about release dates those may change and they change for some good reason or because of my real-life obligations.
    • Make use of "Search this Thread -> Advanced Search"
    • Never ever discuss anything deep-sleep related in this thread. I do not make modifications to prevent sleep and 99% of deep sleep problems are application/ROM related. discuss it in general section. I do not want any positive ("this kernel sleeps like a baby") or negative ("There is a big problem with deep sleep. Please fix it") messages in my development thread.
    • If you do not provide details about your configuration and settings nobody can help you or nobody will care about your problem/bug report. The problems without details (ROM, settings, preferably the version that the problem first happened or the one that you don't experience the problem) will be ignored.
    • Never ever report any SOD issues if you are undervolting/overclocking and make sure you attach last_kmsg log. If you don't know what it is report the problem to the other thread because one more post without any useful information on dev thread will help noone including yourself.


    FAQ:

    Q: I am having some random lockups with some apps
    A: try removing root by using STweaks app and restart.

    Q: What is the difference between STweaks and ExTweaks?
    A: Both have similar functionality. ExTweak is Xan's implementation of the UCI interface (which is designed by Xan and me with the helps of AndreiLux and implemented in the kernel as open scripts by me) and STweaks is mine. I was hoping Xan would release the sources of ExTweaks (without profile support) but he changed his mind and I decided to open STweaks. Soon they will have almost identical functionality, so you can use whichever you like.

    Q: Does this kernel work on XXXXXX-ROM?
    A: If the ROM is based on Samsung Stock ICS Rom LPQ or newer, it should. Otherwise, search the thread... If you cannot find any reference to that ROM, try the kernel. You won't lose anything by trying this kernel. Worst case scenario is to reflash your previous kernel or ROM. You can backup your previous kernel with Hellcat's k-tool from the market.

    Q: Where is CM9, MIUI or Samsung ROM versions?
    A: There is only one version. Both ROMs are supported with a single kernel image.

    Q: What is the best settings?
    A: It is the one you try yourself and like.

    Q: I have just lost 20-30% battery by just rebooting/flashing the kernel. Is it a bug?
    A: No. It happens because of our fuel gauge chip which doesn't require calibration goes crazy sometimes. It is not related with kernel or ROM. Just reset fuel gauge chip using STweaks app (or remove the battery and wait 3 minutes) and then charge your phone.

    Q: BLN doesn't work.
    A: you need to enable it in stweaks or BLN app. if you have more than one app to configure bln make sure all of them use the same settings.

    Q: BLN works in test mode but it doesn't work otherwise.
    A: if test mode works you should blame the apps. Stock messaging and email apps may not support BLN and in some other applications you may need to enable notifications. Either find another application or change your ROM.

    Q: Can I use breathing effect without using BLN?
    A: for now, breathing effect only works in BLN. There is no way of using it otherwise.

    Q: I need to disable and re-enable BLN in stweaks to get it working again. What is the problem?
    A: You may have another BLN related application (BLNapp, nstools, or a script) which disables BLN after stweaks apply the setting at early boot stage. you have to either uninstall that app or enable BLN in that app as well.

    closing the thread once again...

    I don't want to piss the mods again because this thread attracts too many people.
    most of them misinterpret the "this is a development thread" statement and use the thread for their self-development purposes.

    There are very few people who give useful feedback and suggestions and I talk to them over gtalk, email or PMs anyway.

    greetings :)
