Although some parts can be considered as original, all are based on inspirations, examples and other people's code.
I have no claim to be original. I am only trying to make my (and probably other's) SGS2 experience better and fun.
I do this for fun. so, if you just want to argue with me please don't. use the energy coming from your youth in something useful.
SiyahKernel v2.6.14
FEATURES
Can be flashed on Samsung ROMs and AOSP Based ROMS. Currently all Samsung 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7 based ROMS, CM7 (CM9 or any other ICS based ROMs are not supported) and MIUI ROMS are supported.
Based on linux kernel 2.6.35.14 + drivers from Samsung sources
Auto-Rooting
CWM touch Recovery with gesture support
Custom boot animation support
Supports SetCPU (OC upto 1600MHz, UC downto 100MHz)
User customizable frequency steps. You can edit "freq_table" and use 25MHz as the lowest step and 1696MHz as the highest. You have 8 steps (it is fixed) but the frequencies can be set.
Supports undervolting (UV between 800 mV and 1500 mV)
Supports voltage control via SetCPU (thanks to netarchy, ninpo, hacre)
Stock voltages as default
smartassV2, lulzactiveV2 governors. and lots of other governors which are available as modules
Default governor is lulzactive (200-1200MHz)
Tweaked ondemand and conservative governors
no compiler optimization. it is just a myth.
Touchscreen fix (thanks to vitalij)
Increased touchscreen sensitivity
GPU clock (thanks to netarchy), voltage and scaling thresholds control interface.
I/O, scheduler, hotplug and vm tweaks
automatic battery calibration. (removed. thanks to Entropy512. we do not need battery calibration for SGS2)
Available I/O schedulers: noop, deadline, CFQ, BFQV3r2(default), V(R), SIO
Available CPU governors: see this thread for the list of available governors and modules (thanks to droidphile)
/system/etc/init.d startup scripts support
Automatic backup of efs partition. You will have the files in your sdcard as well as /data/.siyah directory. copy them to a safe location in case you may need them later.
BLN (thanks to creams), liblights is autoinstalled if the existing one doesn't support BLN
supports advanced touch tune driver. thanks to vitalij Link. the control app from Web, from Mobile. Thanks to tegrak for the driver patch file download
2nd core application support (thanks to tegrak)
Automounting of NTFS volumes for USB sticks (ntfs on external card is not supported). although your rom says "clear storage", just check /mnt/usb folder. ntfs drives will be automatically mounted in read-only mode.
LZOP compression for the kernel to have very fast decompression. We have a VERY BIG kernel image because we have ntfs-3g, CWMManager and lots of other things both in initramfs and payload.
Integrated new&faster sha-1, crc32 slice-by-8, crc32c, jhash and rwsem algorithms
SCHED_MC enabled to have less power consumption.

FLASHING GUIDE
TO FLASH TAR:
If you already have root, use DarkyOTA app from the market ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ficeto.darkyromota ) .
If not, use ODIN.
TO FLASH ZIP:
Use CWM Recovery and install zip file. Wiping cache&dalvik cache is recommended for those who use BLN.
if you lose root after flashing the kernel (unlikely), flash http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip in CWM.
Some Example Init.d Scripts
Example CWM-flashable /system/etc/init.d/99gpuv script (thanks to AndreiLux)
Example GPU/CPU undervolting and underclocking scripts by kwerdenker
Improved version of CPU undervolting script by kwerdenker
Another couple of nice init.d scripts created by fenomeno83
flashable lionheart cpu governor and setting default i/o scheduler to deadline (remove /system/etc/init.d/01lionheart to uninstall. thanks to knzo for the tweaked conservative governor settings)

Who Should NOT Use This Kernel?
If you are going to use very low voltage settings and complain about having lockups, you SHOULD NEVER use this kernel... just run away! This kernel is just as stable as the stock kernel if you do not modify any settings. Do not blame the kernel if you change the voltage or clock settings. If you do so I will blame your stupidity. I will not remove any feature just because some dumb users select wrong settings. If you are a rookie with an uncontrollable instinct of modifying advanced settings please use speedmod or stock kernel.
This kernel generally contain some experimental code and some of them may be even undocumented. I have different release strategy. I always use the latest version and if I notice any problem I try to fix it. However, I do not use all the features of the phone. So, if you notice any problem please report it. bug reports are welcomed, whining is not.
If you judge a kernel by quadrant score, please, I beg you, don't use this kernel. I don't have enough time nor motivation to answer your questions... Some people got 8000+ quadrant (search the thread) and there is no way you can beat them anyway.. so, go away...
If you are one of those who judges a kernel while sleeping ("oh my god!! lost %1 during sleep"-guy) please use another kernel, sleep and never wake up. it will maximize your battery and minimize the tension in the thread.
If you still believe in battery calibration, discuss it in some thread else. we respect all religions but missionary acts are not welcomed in this thread.
99.9% of the code belong to others. I have some modifications and/or additions to the kernel as C code or scripts but they are so little compared to the original code base. If you think you are better developer than I am, don't waste your time (and mine) as I accept it beforehand so please just go away.
FAQ
Q: Does this kernel support Samsung's ICS leak, CM9 or any ICS edition?
A: No, it does not.
Q: Does this kernel support latest Samsung i9100 ROM?
A: Yes, it does. Unless otherwise stated, you can use this kernel on latest Samsung ROMs (official and leaks). it is tested on 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6.
Q: Can I use this kernel on I9100G?
A: No, you cannot. Only european i9100 models are supported. Also, I compile ntt-docomo version for each release but beta versions do not support gps and digital tv on ntt-docomo devices.
Q: Does this kernel support CM7 or any other AOSP based roms?
A: Yes, but it only support cm7 or miui based roms for now. If you are using another aosp based Rom tell me and I will support it.
Q: Can I use app protectors with this kernel?
A: Yes, you can. Android logger is enabled by default.
Q: Some custom lockscreens or protectors do not work with this kernel. Can you fix it?
A: see the question above.
Q: What is smartassV2 governor?
A: It is a governor to control CPU frequency. This governor has a built-in "profile" similar to SetCPU but the profile has no upper frequency limit. It tends to stay on lower frequencies when the screen is off and scale up very slowly, so screen off will use lower clock rate thus conserve more battery, but it also has a fast wake up feature so that user interaction will not see the lag when switching from Sleep to Wake state.... (So SetCPU Profiles are sorta redundant when using this governor, you can still use SetCPU to OC to higher than default Clock frequency).
Q: What is the best UV settings?
A: There is nothing as best UV settings. You have to find the best settings for your device for yourself. Start by decreasing 25mV on each freq and decrease it every day until your device becomes unstable.
Q: What can I do to have the best battery life ever?
A: put your phone into airplane mode. if you don't like to do it read the guide below.
Q: Which roms are supported?
A: All android 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 roms are supported. Try the latest version. if you have any problems leave a post to this forum and ask for help.
Q: I get random reboots or freezes. What should I do?
A: Before reporting any problems you have to make sure that you are using stock voltage values. Some phones cannot handle undervolting. Secondly, you have to give details. When did it happen, which rom are you using, can you reproduce it, do you have any custom init scripts which changes kernel parameters such as freq voltage or anything else?
Q: do I need to recalibrate the battery?
A: You don't need to calibrate battery for SGS2. Thanks to Entropy512 to pointing out that our device uses MAX17042 which is specifically designed not to require calibration.
Q: do I need to perform any wipe?
A: no. you don't have to wipe anything. however, try wiping cache and dalvik cache if you have any force closes or any other issues before reporting the issue.
Q: Is the battery life better/worse?
A: maybe... you'll never know if you don't try... People are reporting that they are having the best battery but it may not be the case for your device.
Q: where is the interface to change GPU clock and voltage?
A: There is no GUI (graphical user interface). the interface is used via device files. you have to use init.d scripts to adjust the values. there are some examples in the first post about how to use init.d scripts and gpu voltage/clock interface.
Q: Which governor is the best? Which I/O scheduler is the best?
A: You have to try them and select the one you like. There is a very good explanation about governors and i/o schedulers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242323
Q: My phone doesn't go into deep sleep mode. Why?
A: try to clear cache and dalvik cache by using CWM recovery and make sure that your phone is not connected to a charger. it does not go into deep sleep when it is charging.
Q: Which version is the best?
A: supposedly, the latest version is the best. But if the latest version is beta there may be unstable code in it. testing the beta version and reporting bugs will help me. but it's your choice... try and see... maybe this kernel is not stable for your device at all, who knows... I will not answer any "what is the best?" questions and I kindly ask you not to ask that kind of questions since there is no answer to that.
Q: How does the automatic battery calibration work?
A: Automatic battery calibration feature is removed as it was useless for SGS2.
Q: What is an init.d script?
A:init.d scripts are the scripts which are executed during the boot time. actually, they are meant to initialize and deinitialize system daemons and manage some startup/shutdown tasks. but in android world they are just "autoexec.bat"s. so, it is a mix of rc.d and init.d directories in linux distros. everything in /system/etc/init.d are executed during the booting process. since it is not standard in every android device,some developers choose to execute files starting with "S" and some execute everything. in this kernel, everything in /system/etc/init.d is executed. you can create a script to change, lets say, voltages, schedulers, apply tweaks, run overclocking daemon or run anything else you can imagine.
Q: My phone doesn't go into deep sleep. What is wrong?
A: Make sure that you have cleared cache and dalvik-cache after you install the kernel. Also, reboot once more after the flashing. the phone doesn't go into deep sleep if it is connected to a charger or to a computer. There may be an application running in the background which is preventing deep sleep. In that case you can check which app causing the problem with "BetterBatteryStats" application (search in Google).
Q: I want more info about CPU governors.
A: There is a great post about cpu governors (thanks to droidphile): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339524&postcount=10023
If you still want more info, try them by yourself.
Q: Can I use this kernel with I9100T?
A: Yes, you can. the only difference between I9100 and I9100T is that they have different SAR values.
quick and dirty guide to have less battery drain:
- use 2G-only if you don't need 3G
- monitor programs which cause wake-lock. use betterbatterystats and either uninstall or tweak them
- do not use task killers. see the previous item and find the malicious programs instead of repeatedly killing them.
- do not activate google latitude on maps.
- if you don't need pushmail, uncheck gmail sync and use k-9 mail to pull mail, lets say, every 1 hour or so.
- go to settings / location and security. disable "use wireless networks" and "use gps satellites". enable them when you need them, other than that keep them disabled.
- disabling auto-brightness and using a low brightness level helps. do you know that you can adjust the brightness by swiping your finger across the notification bar? try it...
- using juicedefender may help, but it may also cause more drain. test it yourself.
- if you need more speed than 2.5G (i.e. edge) disable HSDPA (*#301279#, select 2 then select 1). you will have 3G instead of H(SDPA) and I think it is fast enough
- disable fast dormancy. dial *#9900# and disable.
- disable auto sign in for google talk (search for talk in appdrawer and use settings to disable automatic sign in)
- disable samsung update and don't use samsung gadgets if you are not in love with them. (this part may be taken care of the rom developers)
- try several radios. I recommend you to try KE7, KG2 and KH3 and choose the one which suits you best. KG2 seems to be the best for me. however, in terms of battery life, there is not much difference between those three.
- be aware that more you use your phone more the battery drains don't complain like "my battery drains quite fast but I did not use my phone. I only played angry birds for hours without making a single call" or don't expect to have a decent battery life if you use your phone as a computer or download torrents using your phone.
i think i will wait 4 feedback because it's based on u2 source.
But good job anyway
cheers

you have to try.
smartassv2 governor with 200-1200mhz setting is very satisfying and the battery lasts at least as long as speedmod-v27 for me.
bfq scheduler maybe
..........will u add it in the next release?
CFQ scheduler really drain too much power.....

I haven't tested it, but theoretically smartassv2 governor that I am using in the kernel should give better battery life than ondemand with a little (not even noticable) sacrifice of performance. you don't need to use any setcpu profiles with smartass governors.
test it. it may or may not give better battery life for you.
I will. Thank you.

great work
Hey guys!
So from observations by @rkoby13 and myself, there seems to be a demand for regular builds of DorimanX's kernel!
This thread will serve as a place for logs, reports, and discussion relating to these unofficial builds by me.
Currently the plan is to compile v9 builds, whenever @dorimanx adds major updates or significant modifications to his source, however this may, and probably will, result in UNSTABLE AND EXPERIMENTAL RELEASES
Disclaimer:
Dori tests highly experimental commits prerelease, and if your device is damaged, wiped, or in any way negatively affected by these releases it's not the fault of Dorimanx, or me. In flashing these releases you accept full responsibility for any consequences of its use.
In this op, I'll have a log of which builds are most stable and which ones have bugs reported or major issues in code, and builds with extreme issues will be removed.
As x.39 was just released, the first build will be uploaded after the next major addition to the kernel sources, and every major change after that.
If there is a commit that I have not considered major but is important to you, either reply to the thread or pm me with a link to the commit, and I'll probably update the build to include it. In future, I may also build v8 kernels until their end of life, if many people show a desire for this
Finally, just a reminder not to post logs or reports/discuss these builds in any other thread, thanks
I'll also soon be adding my new and improved stweaks settings guide, nearly everything is covered now.
Source: http://github.com/dorimanx/dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel

Eskriminal's New and Improved DorimanX Stweaks Guide!
Starting off, I will not be covering stock standard info such as cpu clock, voltage, or the most basic governor variables. @droidphile has a brilliant comprehensive guide to these things and more, search!
Now let's get started! This guide will be in the same order as stweaks itself, and if i miss anything that you wanted, pm me
Topic 1. Advanced/Custom Cpu Governor variables
Here will be discussed governors such as nightmare, darkness, and perhaps zzmoove (if i have time), and their variables.
Freq_step
this controls how large the step up should be when the cpu load hits either the up_threshold, or the inc_cpu_load, depending on your governor.
It is a percentage, where the percentage involved is that of the cpu clock prior to the switch.
Down_threshold/dec_cpu_load
same as up_threshold or inc_cpu_load, but in the reverse, these dictate at what load to decrease frequency
Cpu_up_rate/cpu_down_rate
these values determine how many readings of cpu load will be collected (i.e. 60% or 80%) before being compared to the inc_cpu_load or dec_cpu_load respectively
Freq_step_dec
the same as freq_step, but for decreasing frequency
Freq_step_dec_at_max_freq
identical to freq_step_dec, but while cpu is at values above freq_for_responsiveness_max
Up_sf_step/Down_sf_step
both have detailed descriptions in app from alucard
<more to come>
Topic 2. Memory Management
This tab in stweaks dictates whether Dorimanx kernel should control the Android memory management system (Auto Oom Control switch)
The settings here control how it should control it, with the more aggressive the setting, the quicker apps will be killed at low memory.
<more to come>
Topic 3. GPU Tab
The GPU settings are all identical in function to the way CPU control works, with the frequency steps available and voltage/threshold changes.
The GPU utilisation timeout controls how fast the gpu should respond to a heavy load.
With the thresholds, as with cpu the higher they are the slower it will scale frequencies up, and the faster it'll scale down.
<more details to come>
Topic 4. Screen Tab
Here all screen settings and brightness controls are changeable.
min_bl controls how fast auto-brightness should increase screen brightness level, when this value is higher the screen will stay on minimum brightness for longer.
min_gamma and max_gamma control the minimum and maximum brightness available to auto-brightness
LCD Power Reduce lowers screen brightness to save battery
Screen colour modes control colour levels
Gamma Shift changes all brightness system-wide up or down based on the value put in
FB early suspend delay controls delay after sleep should activate before running the screen off animation
Vibration force controls the power of vibrations system-wide
Slide2Wake toggles waking the device by swiping across the screen from left to right
mDNIe Negative Toggle enables or disables inverting colours by pressing the home button the number of times set below
Touch screen tweaks control sensitivity options - They're advanced, and usually don't need to be touched
Topic 5. Sound Tab
Most settings are self-explanatory, if anyone wants this actually explained, shoot me a pm.
Topic 6. Big Collection, all Misc. Kernel settings! (BLN, CRON, Logger, Auto wifi etc.)
BLN controls whether to switch on backlights when notifications are received during phone sleep.
The bln effect controls the light mode of these keys (doesn't work with BLN without wakelock)
Notification timeout controls the maximum length of time the keys should be on before turning off (doesn't work with BLN without wakelock)
LED timeout controls the timeout on backlight keys during phone use
BLNWW sets BLN to run without forcing the cpu to stay out of deep sleep, saving battery
LED fadeout controls the effect when the keys switch off
LED on touch determines whether the keys will turn on when pressed during use
LED voltage level controls the key brightness
CRON is a timed automatic service which can be used to run various optimisations and updates as detailed in the 'Other' tab in Stweaks
Fix Permissions may solve fcs in apps
Zipaligning apps may optimise them to run faster
Database optimising will clear and compact the system data, potentially increasing system performance
GPS zone changes to your local ntp server may decrease gps lock times and increase accuracy
USB settings control the device storage mount mode.
Charge current levels control speed of charging from various sources, with the higher the current, the faster the flow and therefore charge
Resetting the fuel guage chip may solve issues when battery appears to drop after reboots, as the chip will recalibrate
The Ad-blocker will block advertisements by ip in most apps
Filesystem tools attempt to recover corrupt partitions on the disk
Root settings control device root security
Cortexbrain controls the switching between various things based on screen state including cpu governor and clock, io scheduler, auto wifi, auto data, and logger control
The android logger writes logs of system errors, disable unless you plan on using this
auto data disables mobile data when the screen is off, with the delay before doing so below it (auto wifi is the same for wireless internet)
Various tweaks change system values relevant to each one
Eco tweaks modifies hotplugging logic when battery drops below the eco-level threshold to save battery by preferring use of only a single cpu core
This is just a preliminary guide, my corrupted hdd destroyed the other one I'd been writing for @rkoby13
Reserve one more! Just in case!

maybe you lost track....but dorimanx kernel has 2 branches....8.xx & 9.xx....
8.xx has support for Samsung stock JB roms...aswel as aosp/aokp/cm....<---4.2.2 and bellow...to 4.1.2...
9.xx branch supports 4.2.2 and 4.3 only...aokp/cm/aosp roms and dualboot between them....and with 9.xx you have more ram avaliable ....other things you can find in original dorimanx kernel thread....
v8, for official roms. v9, custom roms.
Dorimanx put sources in git daily and build his kernel. Anyone who could and want, take his sources and make an kernel, based on his sources. So, that's what we are here on this thread, we wait to grab and test an custom kernel

dude! I totally lost my mind. Lol. I totally got confused, I know there is a version 8 of the kernel. I was thinking that this was like the "V6 Supercharger" mod that some people use. I thought there was a new version or something that was kernel based. Hahaha. Thanks for clearing that up for me bud.
Excuse my ignorance...

Agreed. Nice to see the i9100 community still active
I have a question. What is a "V8" kernel and if its good stuff, why isn't included in Dorimanx official build? I'm assuming because of possible bugs?

Hey, so basicly im running cm10,2 on my SIII and im just woundering what the best tweaks/mods are to improve battery life,
so far i have
install rom toolbox pro, and set the cpu profiles up as to lower cpu power as the battery drains
(confued as to what i/o scheluler i should use, and governor, i have done lots and reading but selectedi/o cfq and gov is pagasusk
plus under sysctl tweaks and govenor there are alot more setting, but im affraid to touch them as i dont want to become unstable
i also have greenefy and du battery saver i also have trustgo antivirus,
also if someone could help me, du battery saver have cpu lowering capabilys and if i was to use it with rom toolbox pro cpu profiles, would this conflict,
my kernel is 3.064-cm-g0a49c6d
and ive been looking at pimp my rom, app, but i dont know if its safe and benifishal,
sorry for spelling,
cheers jason
not sure if you're mentioning undervolting with "lowering cpu power" but if you're not you should try to undervolt your cpu

My One Max has NuSenseSIX Rom installed and I flashed the Lunar_Max_Kernel-06_02_2014. I'm used to using SetCPU but I decided to get Trickster Mod. I normally don't mess with much in SetCPU but I'd like to tweak more options now that I have Trickster MOD.
Just wondering what are some good setting that others are using with this app? I'm more concerned about performance than battery life but a healthy medium would also be ok.
Thanks in advance
*I have posted this in the Galaxy S III General Forum, i didn't know where to ask.
I'm getting a new ROM and it has options for which kernel i'd like to have, so i'm stuck to what kernel to choose.
Can anyone tell me whats the best one and why?
Just a heads up, people hate/lock these "better than" threads as it's offensive to developers time and efforts.
Look at the descriptions in detail, they all work on different kinds of versions/releases of roms, some are older versions of Android, some are stock S3 Android, some are for ported Samsung firmwares. And some, like Boeffla, provides many for all of them including CM, Samsung and older versions.
Personally I'd choose Boeffla as it generally always workes for whatever rom I use and has everything you can imagine, the best thing is perhaps the downloadable "Boeffla Config" app, which provides far more configuration features than any other kernel tweaker I've seen.. by far.
AGNi has some cool unique features, like additional filesystem support and a few niche features. Nothing to sway me personally.
ArchiKernel really only works with ported up-to-date Samsung roms with no frills or anything, just his usual optimisations which haven't really made an impact on general use tasks and gaming performance as far as I can tell.
Notable Boeffla settings:
GPU overclocking/underclocking. (I suggest not under clocking in the slightest as it brings the system to a crawling halt.)
Change charging rates.
Large collection of CPU governors.
Undervolting of CPU & GPU.
Tweaks presets.
Disabling of logging.
Large collection of sound tweaks.
Kernel
Personally I will recommend u to go for boeffla kernel as it has all essential features including sound tweaks
And if u are in Sensation Rom V6(android 4.4.2 and also for other 4.4.2 ROMS) then in boeffla app
Set ZRAM :-
Number of zram devices -4
Zram total disk size-600
And
set swappiness- 60
And you will get the best of Senation Rom with best multitasking and battery life!
