STweaks is an app that gets automatically installed with this kernel. From it you can control....everything.
Just a couple of examples: you can enable Slide2Wake, BLN (BackLight Notifications, and USB Mass Storage mode through STweaks. Many ROM-configurable options such as capacitive key options and haptic feedback are actually also controllable from the kernel level. Oh, and I forgot to mention this kernel has dual boot support, which is really fun. My advice, follow install instructions from OP, and take it slow--don't feel like you have to tweak stuff just b/c it's there. It's stable and ready to go on default settings.

there are known issues with sd cards on tasks aokp release.

i am using the kernel right now on a self ported i9100 version of aokp and it works fine.

So now we know that our aokp itself has sd issues

I've used both jellybam and task's aokp the sd issues appeared on both rom. Thing is after a reboot, my phone doesn't scan for sd card and I don't see in the notification saying Preparing SD card

I think you may be right about that.

Media scanner issue was fixed in Android 4.2 so there is no need for anyone to be using that rescan crap anymore really. It just causes more problems.

Siyah-i777 v7.5.3
MD5 Sum: faf8e3e3e44684f9497d02177cab735f

CHANGELOG:
Code: 
[COLOR="Maroon"][SIZE="3"]v7.5.4
-ROM compatibility updates for CM10.x based ROMs
[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Installation:
  1. Wipe cache
  2. Wipe dalvik
  3. Install Siyah-i777 kernel - DO NOT REBOOT YET...
  4. In recovery, go to advanced and reboot recovery
  5. After recovery has restarted, go into kernel specific options and Reset ExTweaks profiles
  6. Reboot and enjoy the new kernel


There is no SD card bug in this kernel. If you have SD card issues then it is
A) something you did
B) something you are running (Maybe the outdated Rescan Media ROOT program? Not needed anymore...media scanner bug was fixed in 4.2!)
C) You need to find a new ROM

I have tried every ROM I can find and I NEVER have this supposed SD card problem....

Now we will take a pause and work on the smaller issues such as the Samsung video player link "issue"

Good catch! If those who have SD issue can confirm this case that will be great and will save a lot of AJ's time.

It would have saved a TON of time :laugh: but that witch hunt is over now.

I have verified for myself that I cannot reproduce this "problem" on ANY ROM.

The only positive things to come out of this were some nice initramfs updates....oh and an AOKP port that I made that runs soooo sweet that it just may become my daily driver (if I can stand looking at unicorns....). If anyone is bored and wants to try it out, you can find the ported version here, and the required gapps here. Remember that after you install it and boot it up for the first time, then go thru the setup stuff, there will be a small delay while it scans stuff for the first time.....maybe 20 seconds I think it was.

Ported version now has the correct keyboard installed. If your Home & Search buttons do not work, just install kernel v7.5.4 and it will install the correct keyboard for you.

Ok it seems this has some weird CM10.1 inherited issues involving wifi & a bugged signal status icon. Oh well...the ROM search continues....

I have used the rescan app once when I was in jellybam because it was included. I did a full wipe when I switched to task's aokp but I'm still getting the no sd error. I don't have the rescan app anymore but maybe it corrupted some of the files? How should I go about there? full wipe doesn't help.

I would back up everything on int and ext sdcards to a computer and do mounts and storage > format internal storage and format external storage from recovery. I find this keeps things running smoothly every few months, even if I am not having a specific problem.

*raises hand* I found on Jellybam that rescanning media and rebooting helps. This is an issue that Ive noticed after every update or SD card removal (only removed card once)

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.5.4 [JB]

Has anyone reported that if you enable swipe2wake feature by Fluxi the screen becomes unresponsive after a while & you can no longer unlock the phone until you do a hard reboot using the power button long hold method? This was present in prior siyah versions also back to ICS. I want to use it but the phone cannot be unlocked after a good 30 minutes.

Only time I have touched anything with the media scan was on jelly bam which has the included app, I used it to try and scan for my card only after it appeared non existent to the system with an earlier version of siyah, I since have wiped and flashed a different rom and taken every possible step to correct the issue, if some how it has plagued my phone then I do not know how I will ever fix it. I have not altered any media files either, I apologize for causing this " distraction" that only a very few seem to have. I have been changing roms and kernels for a while now with no issues and have tried to help with any other problems, I don't feel I caused this reoccurring error. I will figure something out, thanks for your time aj sorry to have interrupted.

    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.

    Please remember that this kernel was created for my friends & family to use, and I also share it here.

    You are not obligated to use it. If you do decide to use this kernel, that does not give you the right to be disrespectful.


    Please report any bugs that you find, and be sure to include a last_kmsg and/or logcat...it is impossible to troubleshoot without it.

    y6e6y6et.jpg

    Reporting something 1 time is sufficient. If someone else has already reported it, you do not need to re-report the same bug.



    Remember the 2 primary rules here on XDA are:

    1) Be respectful.
    2) Use the search functions - both the XDA search and Google.



    If you are experiencing issues that no one else is having, then it is not the kernel at fault....

    And a special thanks to all the donators. Your donations are greatly appreciated!


    ​

    ROM Devs:

    I request that anyone who includes this kernel in a firmware release does the following out of courtesy:
    1) Link to this thread
    2) Clearly indicate in your firmware changelog which AJK version is included in your firmware release. This lets users identify whether a fix is present in the kernel they're using or not.

    Kernel source new repo available here.
    Use the "master" branch.

    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.
