This kernel is for ICS. So Android 4.0.3 and above ROMs.
Samsung has released several ICS ROMs, that are also stock roms. Flash LP7, it's nice as far as I have heard.
Hey gokhanmoral...which rom do you recommend for your kernel?stock?any custom?i care most for stability+batt life...speed has always been good on this device no matter what i do..
Thanks for your advice, try Miui for two wewks and you'll find samsung official rom uninteresting.... I have hydrog3n on second rom but it's quite incomplete ....

Dear Gokhan,
There was this nagging problem with CM9 roms (irrespective of stock or Siyah kernel) where in I was not able to play videos of a particular 720p format, (unfortunately all movies that I watched on my phone were in that format) http://db.tt/ErqlGi3S in the hardware decoder mode. I was successfully able to play the same in mx player in s/w fast mode but in h/w mode got a "this video format is not supported error message"(logcat attached). However the very same video file played like a dream on Sammy ICS roms (irrespective of stock or Siyah kernel) in hardware decoder mode in mx and dice player. If that wasn't enough, I was able to play sample 720p, blue ray format video files uploaded by various xda members on cm9 roms in hardware decoder mode except for the ones that I have just shared.
Today Codeworkx confirmed that it's the google aac encoder which fails on my video, he wasn't even able to play the same video on his Google Nexus. It seems Samsung provides its own aac encoder.
I am extremely happy that now with the double boot feature, I am able to switch to a Samsung ICS rom to watch/present movies/presentations made in the shared format in the h/w mode. Thank you for that
BLN works like a charm for calls and text on both roms(phone sleeps well and no wakelocks

Could someone please help me!? I can't get dual boot to work no matter what I do! I tried with wanam 10.7 and d4 rom with both as secondary roms and last night I tried with foxhound psychomantis and d4 rom but still no luck. The secondary rom does not boot! It stays on the loading screen forever....I've followed every step of the guide and I'm using siyah rc2. What is it that I could be doing wrong???
I'm going to try that now...let's hope it works...but I didn't see any fix for this in the changelog of rc3!
for me bln works only for the call and not for sms but this is a rom related problem

Mate, I might be wrong, but if you are on Samsung based rom, then stock message apk doesn't not support bln, there is a way to get around it though, please use the following two posts http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22618689&postcount=6 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22622653&postcount=12 to have bln working fine with stock messaging app

You are right, mate! Just tried now and disabling popup and screen on notification on stock sms app settings did the trick. Now bln works with messages, too.
Thank you!

- 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.

- 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)

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.

150closing 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.
