Hey,
Im using OMEGA AOKP Milestone v1 4.1.2 ROM, ive installed the new Siyah s3 1.7 today, and downloaded the BatteryProfile.zip.
Problem is - phone keeps on rebooting almost every time I unlock it / enter an app or w/e.
I'll need your help in setting up the phone for more battery with siyah, or better solutions.
Thanks, sorry for newbism.
You're overclocking with too much undervolting. Try 1.6ghz w/ - 100 undervolting. As for GPU, start with 266and move up. Try the overclocking thread somewhere around this forum. Also set touch boost level to 1200.
Thanks

I am running sinmply honey 3.8 revolution rom in my vibrant.But I do not like the overclock thing in the kernal.Can someone underclock it to 1Ghz and post.
Thanx.
By default it's not overclocked past 1GHz..it's up to users if they want to overclock further.
So there is no need for you to flash another kernel.
i looked under system info in Quadrant standard.It said 1.
2...so I thought its 1.2...Didn't know it's 1.0Ghz by deflection......thanx for the reply...
Hello all!
I'm a newbie who wants to know some more about ROMs and Kernels.
Here's the thing:
I have the awesome galaxy s2 and I definately want to flash Lite'ning ROM 1.5.
I also read about an easy overclock kernel here (using SetCPU app):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075061
1. Now, what I do not yet understand is: if I flash the necessary OC kernel, will this interfere with the Lite'ning ROM (which has the KF2 kernel)?
2. If so, is there another way to do an easy overclock on the Lite'ning ROM?
I'm looking for CPU speeds of about 1.4 to 1.5 Ghz, just to get that little bit of extra performance.
I also looked at the Tegrak OC, but I don't think I know enough to mess with the voltages... Or how to even do that
3. So, how do ROMs and Kernels work (in short)? Can I flash any Kernel on any ROM?
4. And can you install multiple Kernels working next to eachother? Or will some Kernels interfere with eachother?
I searched the forums for good explanations, but thusfar haven't found any.
Sorry for being a noob! I'm really trying to read up, but it's more difficult than I had expected.
Some Noob-Proof explanation would be much appreciated!
Numbered the questions I have at the moment
Thank you!
I cant answer all your questions but i'll do my best
2) have a look at tekrak overclock and this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14973796&postcount=531 the first part is about undervolting which is great and the last section is about what voltage to overclock your galaxy s2 at
Basically, the voltage is how much energy your battery puts through the system, including gpu and cpu, so if you overclock you need more energy and dont worry about crashing, it just reboots and asks you if you want the previous settings and you say no (write down your previous settings though) and then lower the voltage and try again and so on
3) roms are basically modified versions of android and kernels can be flashed on most roms, im not sure about the official ones
Thats all i know about so i hope it helped you
PM me if you want some help with undervolting or overclocking, i dont tend to overclock as i dont see the point, my phones already so fast
Thank you!
That Naphtaline guide about voltages seems really helpful
I do need the Tegrak Ultimate app to set all the voltages right?
The free one doesn't seem to include that.
I'll have a look into it anyway.
And I recall that I do not need to flash another kernel if I use this Tegrak OC right?
Almost sure I read that somewhere in the Lite'ning ROM thread.
Appreciate the help!
I think the free one includes voltages just no settings for the gpu, but i could be wrong
Not sure about the Tegrak kernel, but no harm in it
No problem, just pm me if anything goes wrong or you have some questions
yeah that Naphtaline guide is just classy keep up the gud work guyz
Ive got two SGS2 phones one running Omega v8 and the stock kernel and the other running Omega v9 and Siyah Kernel.
My main phone is the stock kernel/ICS v8 and my test phone is the other. While I await the release of the SGS3 ( and if vodaphone stick to their word my free upgrade ) Im messing around to see which is the best balance etc...I will when i get my new phone give the wife one and keep/sell/give the other to my eldest daughter.
What im asking for would be a little advice on peoples choosen method to overclock and underclock their phones. What seems to be the general consencous on the best software SetCPU, Tegra etc with the siyah kernel.....or is there something a little better....Or can i just tweak siyah and get a performance increase.
thanks in advance
U can try cpu control,voltage control and there is extweaks software(only works with siyah kernel) in play store which gives u many customization but be careful. I think lulzactive governer gives u better performance and battery life.
With siyah kernel u can boot in recovery and under kernel specific options select performance profile.
Thank me if I helped U.
Hi guys I know that Siyah kernals allow overclocking of cpu and gpu on the SGS3 but what else does it do.
1)Does it improve battery life, sound of speakers and performance ? How?
2)Also can i install it on an original rom of ICS ?
3)Will i be able to update to Jelly bean through kies after installing this ?
4)After updating to jelly bean will i loose this kernal?
The sites i visited do not provide these information only that this kernal has these features and dual booting etc....
Thanks to everyone who replies or at least takes a look at it..
beware, i was using this kernel as a default
nearly the first thing ive flashed after installing a new rom
took me quite a while to learn that it prevented me from recording FullHD video, it was crashing the camera app everytime
i dropped it and switched to a stock kernel which works best for me right now.
There is a full thread dedicated to this kernel in original android development section!
With ics you can only install below 1.6 version if I'm correct (mentioned in the thread anyway). So no dual boot.
With STweaks app you can change every parameter and so save battery, overclock cpu and gpu, undervolt, enable some audio improvements and so on.
The best is to update to jb, and then install the latest version with dual boot.
If you lose the kernel after a Rom update you just flash again the kernel, 30 seconds work.
Hi,
All is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 (dev thread) and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709860 (general thread)...
You need good reading, testing, etc... For battery it depends of your use and settings (in the 6th post of the dev thread there are some settings for battery life or for performance for example).
Firt of all read the first 6 posts in the dev thread...
Hello XDAers, I tried searching for this question all over XDA but found none with a relevant answer so had to post this
The problem is while gaming, the CPU automatically throttles down to 800 MHz, Even if the phone is not that heated up. Now I acknowledge that sammy based roms and stock kernels have the throttling as a safety feature, so I flashed the latest custom Siyah kernel, and also tried wiping and flashing AOKP Jellybean 4.2.2 Rom, then all over again installed Modern Combat 4 and monitored the CPU frequency with ROM toolbox, But again the same 800 MHz throttle occured. So I concluded that it is the kernel's responsibility for CPU/GPU throttle. Now switched back to sammy JB Rom with previous Siyah kernel.
Is there Any manual way of disabling this feature? Like editing a system file or something? It is really annoying and I could not find a really helpful answer so far
ROM - Stock Samsung odexed Jellybean 4.1.2 XXLS8
Kernel - Siyah v6.05b
