Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.6 [JB]

I was adjusting screen noise and touch sensitivity. It made zero difference.

Yep, followed the install instructions and I realize I was using this slightly outside the box.

It actually worked better with your ROM vs jellybam 4.0 :)

I have been hearing less than good things when it is used on AOxP 4.1 ROMs.

I guess that tells me where to focus next! :D

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.6 [JB]

Theoretically it should work with ICS and jellybam 5.0 which I believe is a 4.2 ROM. Well, it does work with your ROM, and others have tested it with jellybam, so that's not a theory!

Once I've figured out why I'm getting a bazillion FC's for anything trying to use WiFi or data on the debloated rom, I'll try it again with 5.0 and spend some time testing.

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.6 [JB]

First, congratulations on a fine kernel! It is working well for me with Sho3 1.8.5 @ 1.4/440

V4L over usb is a kernel level feature that opens many applications for our devices.

I. E. Digital microscope, endoscope, telescope sensors, backup cameras and 3d are a few examples.

Here is what I have found as a starting point:

Again, thanks for the outstanding work!

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.6 [JB]

AJ where's the backup file stored when you backup your kernel settings? I'm testing a power saving profile (obviously one I tweaked) and if it gives decent battery life without sacrificing too much performance I can upload the profile file or put the settings here. Or PM them to you.

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.6 [JB]

Hey AJ, since the other day with all of my sd card issues I was noticing none of my back ups worked (md5 match errors) and my phone started giving me status 7 errors when trying to change roms. Therefore, I completely started over with a fresh root and went back to a 4.1 Rom that I knew worked fine. I'm currently running your latest version with success, I think I will try this for a while and let 4.2 progress a little more. Will keep updated, thanks again

I am thinking the same thing really. Altho, CM10.1 latest release is running great here *so far*.

Jellybam 5.0.1 i777 Stable is working extreamly well with Siyah 7.6. I even recommended to mlaws to come out with a dirty Jellybam with Siyah. Of course I recommended he check with you to see when you thought the new Siyah would be fully ready. Which I think is now if you ask me.:laugh:

Trying to run this kernel for the last few versions without hiccups. Leaving all settings as default when I'm using an app I tried different apps to confirm my phone freezes. I have to do a hard reset with the power button. I'm running Task650 4.2 Rom

The kernel is good to go as far as I can tell. There may be some minor issues but nothing that could be considered a show stopper. For example, I have had 1 report that headphone amplification is not functioning but I have not confirmed that so far...and if it is an issue then it is very quick and easy to fix - but it also could be a ROM issue.

If someone else could try the headphone amplification thing out it would be greatly appreciated :fingers-crossed:

I'd suggest that you try a different ROM until that 1 is in a little better state. I have no doubts that task will get it lined out, but right now it seems to be very buggy.

I've tried a few versions of this 7.0.6 onwards. Something keeps my phone locked to 800Mhz, and theres nothing in BBS to indicate what it is. Which is why I keep going back to stock. I'm on 7.5.4 now, everything was initially when I flashed it but as usual when my battery hit 80-85% it got locked at 800Mhz and it just tanked from there. I've not changed any settings in STweaks also I reset the profile in recovery, when nothing worked I tried other profiles to see if there was any change, but nothing helped. Any suggestions?

So here's what I've managed to figure out. From 100% down to 90% everything was working perfectly. I had a drain of about 1.7% per hour. After battery level dropped below 90% something locked the phone to 800MHz. Battery usage stats showed that it was mediaserver, but BBS had no wakelock of anykind, not even media scanner. Its stops when I reboot the phone, but once I charge it back up and unplug it it happens again. I'm now gonna flash a new Rom and see if this happens again. Any help would be appreciated. I should also mention that I've tried the basic troubleshooting methods like running a kernel cleaning script, resetting the kernel profiles & reflashing the kernel etc.

This definitely sounds ROM related. Which ROM are you running?

I am getting less than 1% per hour of battery drain on CM10.1 and some testers are geetting the same drain on Shostock3, so the kernel itself is solid. ROMs (especially 4.2 ROMs) may not be so solid...

    NOTE: Changelog information for builds prior to v3.2 was somehow deleted while the thread was closed (at my request...) for a short while.
    I will try to recover the lost changelog information and add it as I can.
    Changelog:

    v5.0 (in development)
    Updated ROM compatibility - now works on all current ROMs
    Fixed SoD when using ZZMOOVE as sleep governor
    Imported the latest Samsung ramdisk files
    Fixed an issue where profiles might be reset
    - Any further profile issue MUST be due to a ROM or rogue app issue.
    - The logs I have seen are indicating that the profile was deleted by something. Kernel is not capable of this...


    v4.9
    Fixed JB_Sound_Fix on Samsung based ROMs
    Fixed a small profile issue
    Fixed an issue with CPU grouping
    Improved ROM compatibility
    Misc fixes & tweaks
    New battery profile
    New performance profile - Highly recommended! Great performance & very good battery life!
    GPIO pin definitions fixed
    There's more but I forgot to write it down as I went...

    v4.8
    Small FileSystem tweak
    Improved ROM compatibility
    Disabled the boot logo for now

    v4.7
    Fixed various issues with CM10.1.3 RC2
    Sync'd CM10.x init files with CM sources
    Set ROOT to default ON for CM10.2
    Updated ZZMOOVE to v0.7d
    Set default profile sleep scheduler to BFQ
    New Battery profile, based on ZZMOOVE v0.7d
    New boot logo by Teknodad1974

    v4.6
    Tuned battery & performance profiles a bit
    Tweaked CortexBrain
    Fixed a small profile bug
    Updated ZZMOOVE governor
    -new ZZMOOVE governor is VERY smooth (smoothest gov I have found), uses slightly more battery than Hyper.


    v4.5
    Nice new boot logo by Teknodad1974
    Recovery background remains plain black to make it easier to read recovery text
    Fixed a small issue with recovery
    Added exFAT support
    Updated governors & i/o schedulers
    Updated profiles
    Updated Stweaks
    Added the Dorimanx implementation of CPU Voltage Groups. This will let people see why some phones UV easily and some cannot UV.


    v4.4
    Added support for Android 4.3
    Some code cleanup
    Tweaked touchscreen and display to improve smoothness

    v4.3
    Reverted part of the frequency cleanup as it caused a slight hesitation in the UI

    v4.2
    Bugfix - corrected CPU frequency table
    Boots & settles in much faster now

    v4.1
    Undervolting has been given a reprive thanks to topiratiko & samprocat
    Use UV with CAUTION and expect no support when using UV
    CPU frequency table has been tuned down to 6 primary frequencies for efficiency
    CPU voltages have been corrected in the profiles to account for the new frequency table
    Fixed mic swapping (MicSwap version only, obviously)
    Due to the changes made to the CPU frequency table and the CPU voltage table,
    it is CRITICAL that you follow the installation instructions exactly as outlined here.
    S959G users please ask for assistance from more experienced S959G users
    if you need assistance..
    PLEASE do not just ignore the need for profile resets!

    This version will start off slow (possibly VERY SLOW) and will speed
    up as it settles in. First boot can take a LONG time. This is both normal and expected.


    v4
    Project "SMOOTH UI" is now complete!
    You should notice better performance in every way. If not, you're doing something wrong!
    Fixed poor performance on Samsung ROMs - they did not like the OOM settings in v3.9 .
    Any trouble reports that do not include a logcat will be ignored.

    v3.9
    New boot logo by Teknodad1974
    Corrected the context on the Stweaks->Screen tab
    Removed BLN "blink" and "fade" options as they do not work on our phones
    Added a new "AJK Tweaked" OOM profile (Stweaks->Memory tab)
    Most people will see a nice improvement from the new OOM profile
    Slide2wake fix should be functional now
    Ad-Block is expanded & updated. This is a complete ad blocking solution now
    Ad-Block can be added/removes d in Stweaks->Other
    Ad-Block can be updated automatically via setting in Stweaks->Other

    v3.8
    AKA: THE ONE
    Nightmare has been tuned and should be much more stable now
    Added ZZMOOVE governor by ZaneZam (a great battery or sleep governor)
    New topiratiko tuned profile
    MAJOR smoothness improvements made by Project "SMOOTH UI"
    Re-added Touchscreen Sensitivity setting in Stweaks
    Added touchscreen revision detect button in Stweaks -> Screen
    Added additional touchscreen settings for different touchscreen type

    Many thanks to the testing team for working hard and relaying good
    information for me to build upon. :highfive:

    Special thanks to topiratiko for providing invaluable information
    and letting me bug him into the wee hours of the mornings
    testing new kernels. :good:


    v3.2
    WiFi toggle bug is a thing of the past (has been for weeks now on AJK actually...)
    Slide2Wake is now disabled while you are on a call.
    New Mali V2 drivers - best graphics performance on the i777.
    S4 code implemented for WiFi.

    I will have to populate this later as it somehow got removed while
    my thread was locked for maintenance.

    Touchscreen Tuning process

    1. Open ExTweaks
    2. Select Screen tab
    3. Go to "Batt Move Filter", increase it BY ONE and apply
    4. Test it, if it still stutter, increase ONE STEP ONLY and apply
    5. Repeat step 4 till the stutter/jitter is gone. Don't set it too high as it'll result the touchscreen capability lost
    6. If "Batt Move Filter" is OK without any jitter again, connect your charger and go to "Chrg Move Filter"
    7. Repeat step 4 till you satisfied and again: DON'T SET IT TOO HIGH, ONLY INCREASE TILL THE JITTER/STUTTER IS GONE

    Do this at your own risk!
    If you lost the touch capability caused by too high value then you will need to reset ExTweaks profile in recovery.

    I can say its different for each device as the test shown:
    -My S2: Batt Filter 16 & Chrg Filter 50, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
    -My son's S2: Batt Filter 13 & Chrg Filter 46, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
    -My daughter's S2: Batt Filter 14 & Chrg Filter 48, stutter/jitter gone completely, below that value the screen is stuttering/jittering.
