Siyah kernel - Dummies Guide

Siyah kernel S2 v3.5.2 is up! :D

"DownloadChangelog:

added Jellybean support
updated wireless driver (1.15.12 -> 1.15.15)
replaced superuser with supersu (only when autorooting, your existing app won’t be replaced)
updated modem driver
removed some unused binaries from initramfs
Linux 3.0.38
Update 3.5 -> 3.5.1: fixed brightness and led problems. changed compression to gzip for faster boot (increased size)
update 3.5.1 -> 3.5.2 fixed CM10 booting problem"

Download here
 
Anyone know why when I try to download 3.5.1, it asks me for a user name and password? I went down to 3.4.1 and that one downloads without incident.
 
Just installed CM10 as a secondary ROM to RR 2.6.1, all seems to be working fine so far at least. This is superb as it'll allow me to keep an eye on CM10's progress without having to do constant wipes etc every time a new build is out, only having to revert to a stable ICS rom and go through the whole tedious process again :D
 
supports Samsung 4.0.3/4.0.4 (no camera problem), CM9, CM10 and MIUI

no CAP_ERASE, no hardbrick

Very interesting changelog. All I need after this is for NEAT ROM and JKay to release for LPT.
 
SiyahKernel S2-v4.1beta1 is in the pipeline
Changelog:

Linux 3.0.39
CWM-Based Touch Recovery v6.0.1.1
fixed led timeout not being saved
new GPU frequency steps: 54, 108, 133, 160, 266, 330, 400, 440, 520MHz
 
I am noticing a big hit on Siyah 4.0.1 with the l2_hsic wakelock.

At the weekend I upgraded to Siyah 4.0.1 and also changed my modem from LXP to BVLP7.

I immediately started getting a l2_hsic wakelock as my number one on BetterBatteryStats, under, "Kernel Wakelock". 8m 10s in 8h 44m asleep. Never had this before!

Upon investigation, I found that there was no definitive reason for this wakelock, although there is speculation that it could be modem, kernel or Wi-Fi related.

I reverted back to my LPX modem and the wakelock persisted.

I therefore re-installed Siyah 3.5.2 and the l2_hsic has once again been relegated to about 9th on the list of, "Kernel Wakelocks", even with the re-installation of the BVLP7 modem.

Just wondered if anyone else was experiencing this or is there a solution to the l2_hsic wakelock?

I get this, no solution I'm afraid, but doesn't seem to effect battery longevity. Have you posted on xda?
