It's still not working.

I'm getting a different error now though: http://pastebin.com/RdJgfL6g

I got this error twice, so it's not just a simple case of download corruption.

Also, why is Talk.apk for KDD twice the size of the KE2's Talk.apk tweak and why is the MD5 of Talk.apk the same as VideoPlayer.apk's?

Edit: I just tried it with the camera and video tweak and those worked... apparently only the Google Talk tweak doesn't work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nechmadi:
camera below 15% not working. it opens the camera app but still say low battery and when you press ok it exits . i'm in ke2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK let me check these fixes again. I might re-write some of the app tonight as well... Seems there's some niggles that are fairly hard to test for without a phone :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FPRobber:
Thanks, I really appreciate you working so hard to make the S2 an even better phone even though you don't even have one (yet).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK guys. Didn't get time to write up more stuff in the app, as I was getting the first custom ROM for SGS2 up and running on 12aon's phone :)

So yeah, I will work on the app tomorrow instead. Thought this was a slightly higher priority, as it is a fairly major milestone :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Toffei:
Hey pulser, keep up the awesome work!! Just realised you're the guy behind the villain roms for the hero too. So even though im switching phones, im not switching devs gheghe xD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zebbi24:

Right off the bat i noticed the camera update fixed rotation of pics when viewing the thumbnail of the pic taken within the camera app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tremium:
Any updates yet?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorrowuk:
Anyone able to look into modding the touchscreen threshold/deadzone ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I will try. It's on the list, give me a few days at least ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Updated app to 1.2.6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sexpest699:
The only problem i had was with bitpool mod. Now works great . Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
1.2.7 released which will show current version in title bar
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sheridan2000:
cool tool....however when i installed the remove full battery sound it wiped the changes i done to show green icons on notification bar like nexus...LOL
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah... That's cos they use the same file :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dickzoe:
I just applied the tweak for notification bar but then it disappear after reboot. How can i restore it. I know there is a backup apk.bat file but dunno how to apply, sorry for the stupid question
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sheridan2000:
head over to rawats thread about battery mod and systemui.apk and there you will find original SystemUI for your rom/kernal....just pucj that back to your phone and all should be well....i had same problem and this solved it...:)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cTrox:
Would it be possible to add a tweak, that disables the Voice control app to start when double-pressing Home?

I know that I can just delete the app that it doesn't show up anymore. But with that there's still a delay when only pressing Home once because it has to "wait" in case you press the button a second time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BeelzeM:
Isn't it an idea to make a list in a seperate thread or in the first post of this one that includes things that need fixing/tweaking?

It could include fixes like:

- Camera usable below 10%

- Fully charged sound and vibration

- Make middle screen default homescreen

- Android OS battery usage

- Home button lag

- Touchscreen drag threshold

Etcetera, etcetera. Issues can be posted and included in the list. Wouldn't be too much work to maintain and would save time me thinks, rather than a bunch of seperate threads.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nightranger73:
Since home button is only physical button on device many other apps use double keypress, mainly launchers, so I think it could be a kernel related problem since disabling voice commands doesn't help and launcher gesture is laggy too

I've tried two different prog using double keypress with voice commands disabled and both suffer same lag
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Huzzah... Got music playing while using camera...

Off for some food, then I'll work out how to stop all the autofocus sounds (the music is silenced just for the autofocus/shutter sounds just now, so I need to get rid of them)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If you are using VRTweaks on VillainROM 1, you will find an update allowing camera and music to coexist at the same time.

For it to work flawlessly, you should delete the ogg file for the shutter from /system/media/audio.

This update removes the autofocus sound too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Also pushed 10% battery fix for VR1 users in Video Player
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bentez2003:
Pulser you are the man! Is it possible to have Villain Tweaks show which tweaks have been installed already?

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your work!

Edit: Also this is my first time using VT, regarding remount system, should I do this before I install a tweak?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No need to remount. That is just for convenience if you are doing other stuff.

A future version will let you verify installed tweaks according to checksums, so you get alerted to new versions, or tweaks not installed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] svortevik:
Can I apply these tweaks with stock room and root using your apk?

I used XWKDD_insecure.tar to get root access, and then I went back to KE2_original so I got rid of the warning from samsung on boot. Not sure if this matters, but better safe than sorry:-)

So is it safe for me to use these tweaks as it is, or do I have to go back to XWKDD or use the VillainROM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tarothsword:
As long as you use the latest version (1.2.7) the app will only show tweaks that are compatible with your system (either Villain Rom or original KE2)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] walda:
Is it possible to write a kind of changelog, what can be done/is possible with this app now.

Searched 1st post, and also http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...little-surprise)?p=40893&viewfull=1#post40893 but couldnt find anything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not got much time, will add one later perhaps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fall Guy:
Probably something I`m doing wrong but the full charge notification fix hasn`t worked. I`ve tried remount sys rw, apply tweek let it reboot, and not reboot but remount ro then reboot. This is on rooted KE2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nah, I think I messed that one up... I'll re-do it soon :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leedavis:
Anyone know where I can download the original rom from?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] svortevik:
Can I use these tweaks with KE7?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
They weren't based on XWKE7 so no. I will update them in the next few days.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I have found a bug with the app, where even though it appears an update installed successfully, it isn't actually copied across to the device.

The user is told it succeeded though.

I will figure it out later.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] silencer1979:
Nice tool!

little question regarding gtalk on XWKE2: does your tool only replace the talk.apk? gtalk is crashing after pushing the camera symbol :-(

thanks and best wishes

Olli:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] why_999:
Just a quick question.... What's the difference between RO and RW system remount? In my hast and inexperience I pressed one of them while trying to instal the 100% battery tweak.

BTW after installing the tweak last night I still had the vibration and tone at the usual 3 o'clock.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
RO and RW are just if you want to have system as ReadWrite, or ReadOnly.

Also, I have identified a bug preventing the updates from installing on some ROMs. Update coming soon :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I have pushed some XWKE7 tweaks, and am making the new APK.

I don't know if they will work or not, as I'm not on XWKE7 right now. Let me know... You need the app update to be sure they apply though...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sorrowuk:
pulser_g2 could you mod this in the camera.apk

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094015

Make the power button function as the camera shutter key.

It was done before here for another device (it shows you how he did it too, maybe its similar for this) :)

Camera installed but force closed

The video player fix kept on giving me a verification failed message
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. I know the camera issue and video issue. Let me fix them.

Video should now be sorted, just updating camera.

And camera should now be updated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] soyef:
Both working now, music still pauses when opening camera though
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ummm... You sure?

I'm using VR1.1, which is unreleased but uses same fix as XWKE7, and I'm listening to music while playing with camera...

Unless...

Check your app version. Did I release 1.2.8? That's what you need for this to work :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Doh... Version 1.2.8 released, get it from the OP :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] soyef:
Works now but I had to manually delete the camera.odex file to make it work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MaTiCeK-:
Thx for the tip, I thought it didn't work at first. :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
I think I flashed prevent notification when fully charged fix twice, now status bar has disappeared, how can I get it back?

Is there a way to indicate in the app that you've already installed a fix?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
Sorted now, thanks.

Would still be interested in an indication on VRTweaks that a fix is already installed though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep, that's the next major feature for VRTweaks,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aussiebum:
do u have any changelogs for the new version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nope, as the next version isn't started. I work on VillainTweaks incrementally... So minor changes every time they are needed.

So as it stands, 1.2.8 is latest, and nothing else has been done (yet)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] macray76:
I've tried the latest version to remove the battery charge notification on my XWKE7 and whilst it completed it's stuff and rebooted, the notification is still there.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Can you get the MD5 sum of SystemUI.apk in /system/app, and confirm if the file SystemUI.odex exists?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] macray76:
For some reason the odex file wasn't being deleted/renamed by your script so I renamed it and reran it and it works perfectly now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ke3pup:
pulser_g2 , do you think you'll be adding a tweak to help the unlocking become instant (remove unlock lag)? its very annoying having to wait 2-3 seconds before i can unlock the screen...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Do you mean after the pressing of the power button? That's a kernel issue, not something VRTweaks will fix.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ke3pup:
Yes that's what I meant. Its a long delay or at least feels very long, having to press home button , then wait 2-3 seconds then swipe to unlock... argggg
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
does v1.2.8 work with VR1.1?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes indeed :) It has a few tweaks including the MMS modification that i needed a custom ROM to do :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robbiekhan:
Some nice tweak, cheers!

The best tweak? More tweaks :D

is there a way to remove a tweat once added? i installed Rawats CRT/Battery one and the CRT effect kinda feels like its giving me a headache everytime i look at my phone as it locks :P

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, if you go to /sdcard/VRTweaks/backups, you will find the old file there for framework-res.apk . Remount system RW (button in the app at the top for this), and copy the file to /system/framework :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Beefheart:
I have VillainRom 1.1 and have installed VillainTweaks 1.2.9. However, when I start the program up, with wifi on, there is no tweaks listed, even after a refresh.

Not normal I take it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Crucio_:
found the back up file easy enough thanks, but how can i navigate to /system/framework?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Beefheart:
Root Explorer.

Sent from my £2.99 Casio digital watch.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Crucio_:
Copied this in to the /system/framework file thanks to pagnells advice of root explorer. but what do i do once its there? do i remove its .bak tag and delete the old one?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Basically. remove the existing framework-res.apk and rename framework-res.apk.bak to framework-res.apk

Will the VillainTweaks work for this ROM too :

[ROM] Lite'ning Rom v1.0 XWKE7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
You may get some of them working on it, but I'm not sure, and obviously can't support it if they don't work.

Any XWKE7 tweaks though should work with it, IIRC, as it's fairly close to a stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
What is Samsung Apps update?

I like Villain Tweaker, although I miss the possibility of removing stuff, can you add this option?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Define "removing stuff" please... Just trying to see if we are meaning to revert a tweak (restore backup), or if you mean to remove bloatware apps

That update is an update for the program "Samsung apps" - it's the latest version the app tries to download and install, but made compatible with this ROM.

You need both parts for it to work.

Status Bar

Great phone, thanks for the rom and tweaks.

Have been looking for a mod to change status bar icons to original gingerbread green rather than gray when active, and a simple battery percentage icon i.e. Cyanogenmod style.

Have tried several SystemUI.apk's and framework-res.apk's but buggy,

Possible?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ke3pup:
@pulser_g2 : would it be possible to apply a ROM tweak that changes the Text editing (press and hold on text til the orange arrows show up) bounding arrows. I find them slow, inaccurate to use and generally a hit and miss experiences comparing to HTC where it has super easy and fast drag arrows and magnifying glass to see exactly where you land when you let go. I really hope so as this is bugging me. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] o_tiger:
Confirm : Samsung App works! There i saw an App called 'Galaxy S2 camera firmware update'. Sounds interesting. Do we (VR 1.1) need this? Possible new 'base' for tweeks?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. I don't know tbh. I ain't flashing firmware on my camera, as my camera works perfectly :D It should be ROM independent though.

How hard would it be to let the default music player skip to the next track by pressing the pause button on the included earphones?

I had CM on my old phone and constantly used the long-press volume-up combination to skip tracks without having to take the phone out of my pocket and I really miss it. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
VRTweaks has been updated to version 1.3.0

This version will now indicate which tweaks you have installed before, and should try to stop you installing them again. It will do so by just ignoring you :)

It also brings support for more than one version of the same tweaked file, so there may be more than one themed version of each APK, or perhaps a couple of different options for a file, but you won't see any difference as an end user.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
Awesome, more updates!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
It should do that anyway, when playing a track, double press the mic button and it should skip to the next track.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Locster126:
mine just simply pauses and plays the music when double pressing the mic...also used to htc controls of double press for next song and triple press for previous one..doesnt seem to be working with samsung music player tho...:mad:

One thing that doesn't seem to be working is the '4 sms before becoming MMS, allow more recipients' the 4 sms side of it works, but messaging will not allow me to insert more than 10 recipients. I am on Villain 1.1, Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
It does work, but you have to get the double press timing right. Its a pain in the arse, it worked a lot better on the Galaxy s.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Eh? I've just set up an SMS with twenty recipients... I didn't actually send it, but the check is on adding recipients...

I just typed the starts of people's names, and they were added. I stopped at 20 as I got bored, but it will allow upto 200.

Can you confirm the MD5 of the /system/app/Mms.apk is 2d205bea1e887789e8bc1180b2cdb54c?

Oooh... Or, you can simply open Villain Tweaks, and see if "(INSTALLED)" shows on the tweak. If it does, then all is good :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
Just checked the MD5:

2d205bea1e887789e8bc1180b2cdb54c

It also says installed in villain tweaks. Still a no go on the 10+ contacts.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FPRobber:
Indeed, I managed to get it to skip the track after about 10 tries. Better than nothing I guess. If it's not too hard to do I'd still love a tweak that makes it skip on long press or completely replaces the pause function which I very rarely need.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] soyef:
Didn't work for me once, had to clear Mms data then it start working
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
Nice one, that's sorted it! Cheers.

I really like the Skyraider 4.0 Status Bar. I like how it has the recent apps shown in it. I also like Miui's toggle menu on the Status Bar. So my question is this, does anyone know if any Status Bar exists that has those two things in it? Or something close to that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I haven't ever run across a mod for any rom with both recent apps and toggles in your status bar, afaik its either/or.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Not sure, I haven't seen one. Might ask in the cm7 thread. You can also long press home for recent apps.

Good idea. For some reason I just like it in the status bar....maybe from my Blackberry days. *shrugs*
