Changelog for 3.2:

User selectable frequency table. Available frequencies are: (in MHz) 1600, 1500, 1400, 1300, 1200, 1100, 1000, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50, 25. Default set is 1400, 1200, 1000, 800, 500, 200. You will be able to select 5-step(samsung default), 6-step(new SiyahKernel default), 7-step (new SiyahKernel default + 1500MHz), 8-step (old SiyahKernel Default), 9-step (old SiyahKernel Default + 1500MHz) or 18-step(all) in ExTweaks. If you want to have your own set you will be able to echo it to scaling_available_frequencies. The only limitation is that you won’t be able to delete 500, 800 and 1000MHz steps.
not released yet.

You can get them here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/

I was asking, of we will be able undervolting as well or voltages will be set by default for each frequancy step

SGSII is already using ext4.
Siyah has supported that since the first few releases.

Thankssss :D

I got two SODs and a hang today,but none of them gave any rcu related messages in last_kmsg.One SOD in particular was pretty scary though,it hanged while I was asleep,my alarm didn't ring(Not that I gave a ****,I overslept 3 hours and loved it :p ) and was connected to the charger,so when I woke up it was really hot.It's still alive fortunately... :p
Still man,if you want I can test stuff,I just don't know if I could be of help. :)

yesterday i had one hang on scrolling in taptalk and i forgot to take the latest kmsg :D i dont have any sod every thing ok even i'm uving :cool:

edit: i found latest kmsg on /proc hope it help last_kmsg

Nope,your hang,as was my first SOD,are probably caused by undervolting,no rcu stuff in both.See,I'm undervolting too,and heavily I'd say.But bear in mind that,even if your highest frequency is tested for stability at a given voltage for say 30 minutes,it can still crash after continuous processing for hours.My first SOD was probably caused by that(and has happened again).Some app caused the CPU to "stick" at 1.4GHz for LONG time periods overnight,resulting in a SOD(Whole night on the charger,left it with 25% battery and found it with 34% :eek: ).I think such hanging can be caused when load skyrockets "unexpectedly" and your device isn't 100% stable with a certain frequency/voltage combo,but I could be wrong with this one as it's purely based on my powers of observation. :)

Play an mkv file for 10 minutes at that frequency that you're under volting to ensure stability.

I tried a swap last night and it worked without any problems.
My primary CM9 nightly is now my secondary, and my secondary FOXHOUND PsychoMantis V2 is now primary

Then must be there something difference what causes that it does not work for me, but you.:confused: E.g. I don't have external SD... Maybe it is a criterion of swapping ROMs? What are your conditions? Free space, external SD, version of Siyah?:D

i don't know if you need an external sd for it, but you need enough storage to copy all stuff of the primary rom i think to another location. but swapping works just fine. but it does nothing different than what i described before for installing a zip to the second rom. should take even a little bit longer until you're finished this way.

Probably that some guy with a gun shot it for its money...Or that someone raped it maybe. :p
Seriously now,a "it just died" should suffice,they don't need to know more. ;)

yep ! :)

moreover the ma'am on desk enter is just a secretary. she don't know anything about hardware. she just write what you say and compile the schedule.

    Features:
    • based on JB sources
    • DISABLED CAP_ERASE (No superbrick bug)
    • All-in-1kernel because it supports CM9, CM10, Samsung, MIUI and Boot-to-Gecko (B2G) ROMs with a single kernel image. (no Sense4all support)
    • 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.
    • CPU Overclock/Undervolt support (we have two interfaces for that. both of them are defacto standard)
    • 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)
    • BLNWW (BLN Without Wakelock)
    • Slide2Wake (originally by Fluxi)

    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 :)
