Siyah Gingerbread kernel (v2.x)

The auto fit pages in browser settings will greatly reduce the chequer board effect.
I'm running on conservative governor with no issues at all as yet on both go launcher and TWv4.

Interested to see how much of the battery drains overnight with just the single cpu operational.
I somehow suspect I won't see too much difference. We shall see!
 
I'll hang fire on this one as I've not noticed any lag whatsoever.
Its probably my old eyes!
 
Just quickly tried 5.1 and 5.2 and to be honest, beta5.0 (the first one) seems best for me.

Experienced a stutter in app drawer scrolling on 5.2.

***So. the bottom line is, if you are getting any problems with Siyah 2.2beta5 then try the other two which have been released as an experiment.

UPDATE

***Siyah 2.2beta5.2 has been withdrawn and 2.2beta5.1 seems to be the solution... at the moment! :rolleyes:

I'm sure your parents warned you that you could go blind! ;)
 
5.1 eliminated vertical lag for me, still some stutter on side scroll but may put up with this for a bit.

5.2 lag city for me.
 
That's been available since 2.1 I think or was it dark knight. You should also be able to backup and restore from your external sd as well.
 
Just flashed beta 5..1 seems okay so far!
Using single.core mode
Setcpu smartassv2 governor

hope having single core enabled for too long wont burn out 1 core becauee its doing all the work.....
 
Back to speed mod for me I'm afraid. still lagging far too much for my liking. but I do feel like I'm missing out on all the fun!
 
Beta5.1 seems okay on DlevROM v3.1 here. On my third AnTuTu '1600MHz suicide run' with the usual 0.75mV undervolt to test stability.... yaay, passed with 7436. That should at least mean it won't crap out in normal use, and let me tinker with other stuff. ;)
 
Siyah kernel 2.2 beta6 is up! :D

Changelog:

fixed the lag in dynamic hotplug mode (a problem in new workqueue implementation).
increased the “second-core-kick-in” threshold to save battery. previous value was 50, new value is 70, original value in samsung kernel is 60. you will hardly notice the difference but the benchmarks may notice it. if you want higher scores you can always use tegrak’s 2nd core app to enable the second core. Maybe I will make it customizable before v2.2 release.
increased the fps limit in the camera driver (30 to 120). I hope that the one who sent me a PM about this modification can manage to use it to have better image or video quality.
disabled ramfs “tweak/cheat/whatever” in quadrant benchmark. If I knew how to make it worse I would do it to let quadrant-slaves go away.
removed a (part-of) patch that enables the second core as soon as you turn the screen on. we don’t want to waste more battery and that may be the reason of some SOD problems.

Early indications were that v2.2beta5.1 was no worse for me than 2.2beta1 or beta4 on my average battery usage.

Have switched to beta6 now to see how that fares.

Time for another cup of Taylor's Rich Italian Roast black coffee... industrial strength. :)

man. siyah kernels do not agree with my phone (on checkrom rev 2.0).

lag galore on scrolling (side and vertical):mad::mad::mad::mad:

get higher antutu scores compared to my speedmod, but if it doesn't behave so smoothly in day to day use, think I'll be heading back. (or might try lulz 15)

unless anyone has any ideas on how i might reduce lag by altering settings - tried smartass, lagfree, on demand etc etc - all the same:confused:

Putting my neck on the block here Sydney99... but it might be worth you giving beta6 a try as it is ultra lag and stutter free for me, better even than previous versions.

Just don't kill the messenger! :eek:

I notice that you can now flash from either internal or external SD Card now! :)

Very handy indeed.

Was tossing and turning earlier and I suddenly realised that "internal sdcard" and "external sdcard" have been transposed in the recovery options! :p

That may account for why I never noticed it before. So used to going down to the first option of, "internal sdcard".

Cue the men in white coats! :confused:
 
Beta 6 seems good to me. Maybe its a bit smoother than 5 but its hard to tell as that seemed good as well.

do you not sleep ironass.

and thanks, will give beta 6 ago. fingers crossed ......

Carpe diem old son, carpe diem!

Here at the Home for the Terminally Befuddled, matron likes us to get up early and check the morning papers to make sure our name isn't in the obituary column. :p

Bon chance with beta6. ;)

It does seem smoother to me and the developer, gokhanmoral, says that this release cures a "micro" stutter, as he puts it.
 
Computer says NO!
:D

Has anyone else lost BLN since beta6?
Strange. My first text in didnt activate BLN, but the second one did??
