Oh... blooming heck!
I've only just finished writing the guide to Siyah 2.6.7/8/9!!!

From the changelog it looks as though I can just slap, "/10", on the end.

I'm gonna side with the opinion that the SGS2 is hard to brick! I guess smoking is better for your SGS2 than drinking. You don't accidentally drop it while smoking and you can't spill your smoke onto your phone and break it
You`d be suprised mate
i`ve spilled whole cup of coffe on my SGS2 on 3rd day of having it... (being stoned ofc) but its 7th month now and it`s still working so i guess its just a hell of a good phone

HAWKER: As a side issue to all this, what do you do to get such little nighttime loss? Turn everything off?

No mate, far from it. Everything is on, ie. data, wifi, gps etc.
Wifi is on "sleep never when plugged in" so effectively its sleeping when the screen is off, but i never turn wifi off full stop.
As long as you can get pretty much a match between "screen on" and "awake", with only a few exceptions, and you get around 97% deep sleep at night, then 0.5% per hour is achievable.
Not sure if I'll even bother with that either, unless the "upstream patches" are said to make noticeable improvements.

Interesting, thanks mate. So you keep both wifi and data on as a matter of course? I tend to keep GPS on permanently, but flick between wifi and data depending on whether I'm at home or out and about...

Changelog for 2.6.11 is up!
That was fast!
- replaced the recovery with Hyperdroid Redpill Kernel Recovery. (Thanks to Hyperdroid team and Redpill kernel developer(s))
- set the default cpu governor back to ondemand. conservative governor settings are still the same. ondemand governor settings are tweaked a bit (50000-90-5)
- changed some mali internals (set staycounts for steps to: 0-1-1 and down threshold for second step is set to 35). I did not use AndreiLux’s settings for not breaking the compatibility with voltage control app but I highly recommend you try it because it can save a lot of battery juice.
- some patches from upstream
That was fast!

Everything seems to be running OK on 2.6.11.
Just not too sure about the new Hyperdroid Redpill Kernel Recovery menu.
Red on black! I'm sure there's lots of good reasons for it and I can only think of one reason against it... it's bloomin hard to see!
(Lets play a little game and see who is the first person not to read the changelog and complain about Hyperdroid Recovery)

Similar to, (but not the same as), CWM Recovery.

That's right... pick on us over 35's!
To be fair... I had just returned from a Burn's Night.

Are we talking Stone here?
What you do with those candles you hide under your mattress should not be made public!
What was wrong with CWM in previous Siyahs? Change for the sake of it? Are there any real-world benefits of Hyperdroid over CWM Recovery, or is it just a different front-end UI?
I get a little bit concerned when CWM recovery gets replaced. Does anyone know for sure if existing CWM backups will restore correctly with Hyperdroid and vice versa?
Exactly what I was thinking! Guess there's only one way to find out for sure.... looks like I'll be downloading and flashing .11 after all.
