[KERNEL][ExTweaks] SiyahKernel v2.6.14 | "One kernel to rule them all" | 3/19/12

[K Rich]

any idea if this can be flashed with the stock 2.3.6 kj4 leaked rom?

 

[Kadin]

Pretty decent scores running at 1.4 I'd say... and on conservative.

Just realized the first picture from Quadrant was actually 1.6 conservative. My mistake.

I like this kernal, will this get it's own thread on the developers section?

The CWM .zip will not download via phone browser........

Stock browser only. I downloaded with opera mini and it worked with no issues. It's nice not needing a pc.

Now with mobile Odin we may really not need a pc ever. (dev, theming, and the like not included)

I think it should. As no other place is reporting on it specifically for our phones.

I lost root when flashing this. Had to restore in cwm.

Edit: I even tried to reinstall superuser.

don't work USB with siyahkernel for i777

I just got home and upon plugging in via USB, computer no longer recognizes the device. It shows, 'MTP-Initialization' in the notification bar which I don't ever recall seeing. This is with USB Debugging off. If I turn it on, I don't get any message in the notification.

Either way, I can no longer connect via USB.

just flashed this over leaked 2.3.6 kj4 and everything seems okay so far.

Hmm same thing is happening to me. Also note that it can't find the sdcard partition so I can't flash it..

It was at the bottom of the list on the cwm page for install from sd page. It took me a bit to find it also.

Try downloading the drivers for the international version.

That's pretty odd.

Erm, no, I mean CWM can't locate /sdcard/ and I just tried to get to internal sd card and then cwm crashed. I restored root by using ota root keeper because I knew I had a back up there, so that was lucky. If I can't get CWM to work with the internal sd (hoping that Siyah mounts the sd card there now) then I'm going to try to move the restore zip to the system partition and go from there.

Unnamed 1.3.1 btw.

EDIT: Alright, Siyah seemed to remap the sdcard to /emmc/ and I'm currently going to reinstall unnamed, then wipe, then reinstall siyah. Woo.

EDIT 2: Still having the same issue where the computer won't see the device and it's saying MTP-Initialization. Sigh, flashing back. I would've loved this kernel

uh oh...well, im not home right now, so we'll see what happens when i connect my phone to my pc.

I think an easy test to see if you're having my issue is to boot into CWM and try to "choose zip from sdcard," though I guess it makes sense that it now connects to the internal sd card. Though, this has somehow broken adb for me and USB mounting. Sigh.

Have you tried downloading international drivers? I'm not by a pc to try it.

[K Rich]

yep, instead of "choose zip from sd" i have to "choose zip from internal sd"

I'm on a Mac so I'm pretty sure I didn't have to install drivers in the first place to see the device. I looked through the original Siyah thread and it seems like the author disabled MTP and you're supposed to enable usb debugging to get USB mounting to work (which obviously didn't work). I'm guessing the MTP-Initialization was the phone staling while trying to get MTP to work, and USB debugging made it charge-only. I would say if you're willing to take a risk, go for it, but it still seems to have bugs in it. It's easy enough to fix, but it did take 45 min.

HOW TO FIX EARLIER ISSUE: Boot into CWM -> Install zip from SdCard (paraphrasing here) -> Choose from internal sd card -> your rom zip file -> install. Then, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and you should be good to go!

Hows the battery life on this kernel compared to entropys?

I would like to know this myself before trying it out.

My phone's battery life with Entropys kernels has been phenomenal to say the least along with great performance.
