Haha no I'm not angry at all just stating a bit of common sense. That thread could be put to better use if it was just a general Q&A thread instead of asking for issues that will be obvious seeing as it's not fully supported.

Our right. But fighting it is a waste of time. Look at the cm9 thread. Over a 1000 posts. Half stupid questions. Half flaming. One is just as bad as the other.
As fot the other thread. What the harm in trying it. Good luck to him. I think ts a good ideA Because it will keep people away from here banging on about boot loop and eta's. Worth having it to see if it proves useful.

it's also nothing to do with development therefore is only a general thread at best but I'm sure that will be soon moved however irrelevant it may be.


I already see some user questions being bounced between the two threads, so I think it can help. Furtermore, communication between the two devs are not, let's say, very friendly (MTP issue as an example), and users can sometimes pay the bill.
If nobody cares of this thread, that's OK and let it die slowly and end its unuseful life in the last pages of the Forum!

Btw, i asked to move it to the General section, and it has already been moved.

Thank you for your warm support!

For what its worth, IMO its a good idea. And worth giving it a go. About to subscribe to it. Hope it goes well.

Happy to feel a litle bit of fervor. The thread has been moved to the General section, as it is the correct place for it.

I have known this kind of special situation with CM7 and SyiahKernel, and there is sometimes no place to go. And you are right, the idea is to keep people away form the "JUNGLE".

Peace.

Well,since everyone posted their ideas,bull**** or not,about a slogan,let me post what I'd like to see as a slogan:
SiyahKernel : Putting the Ice Cream in your Sandwich
Not the best,but you get the idea. :p

Thanks for the explanation.

But risk 4 (permanent damage to motherboard) really is just theorical or real life?
I mean, as it ever happened to multiple peoples who related the problem, or even maybe to someone who read this message? :D

There are not many devices out there that will ever draw more than 500mA from a USB port - any standards compliant device that is capable of drawing more power should have a way of determining if it is on a USB port or some other charger (as the S2 does).

I have never seen a PC motherboard damaged in such a way, though I have (occasionally) seen USB ports blown out on motherboards due to "reasons unknown", so the risk does seem to be pretty tiny, especially on a good motherboard, but still, you asked what the risks were, and now it is your choice.

When it comes down to it, you can charge your phone fully from 0 - 100 in about 6-7 hours from a PC, or a lot less if you're just topping it off - is the couple of hours you could save that important, that you can't just go out with a phone at 85%, or plug it in a little earlier while you're at the PC?

wow! pages of posts :)
this kernel will reach 1million viewcount sooner than the previous one...

I am very busy today and I will be very busy until the weekend.
I am testing beta5 on my phone now.
I have added touchkey lights and freq scaling problems into known problems list (OP) and I will try to fix them first.
I also noticed another tiny bug in GPU voltage control in beta5 and that will be fixed as well.
then I will release it.

kjetal advised me a nice and good build of cm9 and I hope to install it tomorrow. and I hope not to come back to a samsung rom in near future...

that's all for now. I have to go back to work.

Hey bubudroid said the Vsync cap is in the kernel not the screen u could look if there is something like that if yes: Add an option in CWM for uncapping it. Else: Fuuuu.

    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 :)
