Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.9 [JB] [ICS]

So, no official 7.9.1 yet? I thought that's gonna follow after 7.9b...

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.9 [JB] [ICS]

Just an observation; if you set bln timeout option to use ROM defaults, it stops working after a few minutes. LEDs fail to light, or fail to shut off. Reboot does not help. Easily remedied by setting to 6 seconds, but strange behavior nonetheless as no other version does that.

Hey AJ what are mDNIesharpness tweaks? Just out of curiosity. In extreme battery profile they're disabled, is this because they're considered to use more battery?

That option will not increase battery use. I just didn't think to enable it in extreme battery profile.

It is supposed to make text a bit clearer. I personally cannot tell the difference, but my eyesight is incredibly poor. I do leave it enabled tho :laugh:

7.9b eliminated the popping noises for my meditation timer app, which is where I always noticed them. Thanks, AJ.

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.9 [JB] [ICS]

Anyone having an internal sd issue. My sd would disappear all if a sudden and reappear upon reboot sometimes. Been happening since few release. Probably since 7.7. I just didn't report it cause by the time i sign on a new release is posted LOL. So i was hoping its fix. After the initial flash everything works fine. After a day or so it would act out. Im in paranoid ported to out device

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.9 [JB] [ICS]

Forgot to mention it in my last post. I'm on Task's AOKP running Siyah v7.8.6 using the rav4kar profile with minor tweaks

How'd you get Tasks Rom to play nice with this kernel?

Re: [KERNEL] Siyah-i777 v7.9 [JB] [ICS]

Flashed 7.9b.
Weird experience.
Scroll is choppier. SD card unmounted itself (first time ever).
Phone locked solid when I used one of thr widgets I used thousands of times before.
Rebooted and got SOD right after boot. That didn't happen for a long time....

Reverted back to 7.8.6 the smoothest experience so far...
Not sure if its a kernel or some flashing glitch. Always follow OP to the letter.

EDIT: I am always on rav4kar profile with CortexBrain off/Pegasusq/SIO no overclocking. ShoStock3 2.1

Hmm...I am having totally different experience on 7.9b/sho3 2.5.1/rav4kar combination. It's smooth and no SoDs since I flashed 7.9b last night. Maybe you can give it another try per instructions and see. Is it SoD or just screen lock/freeze?

It's both.
I am using Sense Analog Clock widget. It should open up clock when you press the hours section. This thing never frose. Ever. It did frose the whole phone when I pressed hours on 7.9b. Maybe a coincidence, I did not do extensive testing since it was time to go to work and I had to have a working phone.
So I pulled the battery, rebooted and then after reboot finished, the screen went off and never came back.... at that point I reflashed to 7.8.6

    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.

    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....

    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.
    Compiled using the supplied linaro 12.x toolchain.

    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.

    Dev-Host links have been added for AJK v4.9 downloads. Many thanks to those who have provided mirrors after Goo completely screwed up my stuff.

    Looks like next year will be yet another interesting one for SII users.

    Here's hoping that all of you have a safe & happy holiday season!
