Wee meet again lol...

U have a lot of doubts ;)!

True...task killers are not recommended for versions of android upper than eclair 2.1... Because froyo already has good tark manager tweaked in sistem features.... This manager knows which proccess of the sistem or apk's must to close...

The task killer apks are generics and kills everything including process necesarys for correct function of the android OS...

IN ADition... Task killers provokes that the system has better performance and more free RAM...but its not good for battery..

Manager included its specific and equilibrated...

Task killers are not good for 2.2 or 2.3...

You can browse for task killers threads in the browse.. its a common question

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hmm ok. I guess I have a rough idea now. The Task Manager is designed to kill the unnecessary ones. Hence saving memory and space?

On the other hand, Task Killers out there are designed to kill ALL applications. Both necessary and unnecessary applications (hence consuming more battery as it needs to restart the whole process again).

=P

[FAQ] Why You Shouldn't Be Using a Task Killer with Android

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magpie22:
I had to take my phone back today because of bad battery life, as it was not going for four hours without needing a charge. This phone was only two weeks old.

The manager in the 3 store in the uk would not even entertain me because i did not have a task manager installed and said for me to get any kind of warranty i should use a task manager first then come back to the store.

What happened next was a full blown argument and at the end i demanded to speak to the area manager on the phone.

Long story short, I got my phone changed and before I left I showed her the way to kill running apps on gingerbread.

These store reps are clueless.

Hey all, sorry in advance for this, just something I've not done before and I don't want to loose my backups

If I change my sd card and copy my nandroid back ups to the new card will I still be able to restore to an earlier back ups or will it rain horse **** for all eternity? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wupper:
Yes this is possible :). But don't forget to make all of the partitions you had on your old card.

But you should ask questions in the QA section of the hero instead of the dev section ;).

Ooops :) thanks :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
Why would I flash this ROM ?

This ROM is for people who want the latest Samsung ROM with full Right-To-Left (RTL) and Arabic shaping support changing as little as possible from Stock.

What's exactly changed from stock?

Rooted.

Fully Deodexed. Browser does not lag (Thanks brightidea).

PNG Optimized and Zipaligned. (Smaller memory footprint).

Used my universal framework patcher to get RTL support in Android's menus and text fields. This patch also gives you correct alignment of text.

Used brightidea's latest Gmail + Browser RTL files. This will give you full RTL and arabic support with any text in these apps and their dependencies.

Photoshop stuff: Small battery percentage, and Green 3G and Wifi Status bar when connected to GServices.

Well done good to see ROMS starting to trickle out, keep up the good work. :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ali_209:
Nice work brother , have a safe trip..:o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] em4all:
first ... -to test any way-

oh and remember our deal madmak?

:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MoFsaD:
:)

thank you very very much !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] em4all:
ok the browser froze right away ... flashing KE2 now then applying the rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
yep, still remember our deal :)

i dont' have time coz i'm leaving right now. but if you're flashing KE2, try to place only my new libwebcore.so in it and see if it crashes. The problem in libwebcore.so is gone for now i think, and thats the best way to test it.

we might be still having a problem with my font though. so you guys can test and try with different fonts to see if anyone of em will work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abumhmmd1:
THANKs

will test it 2nt .

JAZAK ALLAH KUL KHAyR
[Galaxy S II Android Development] em4all:
WHOA!

choose the time and the place madmak ... the thing is WORKING !!!

no crashes tell now ...

boy, i hope some body get it to crash ;) i am so not ready
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ams84:
i'm waiting mine to test insha'Allah
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
I have some pretty good reason to believe that this is what Samsung has intended to give us. my initial tests also verify that :)

if it still crashes, then its either the fonts (first scapegoat), the deodexing or any mods you might have added to the system. so basically another problem for another time :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amduk:
Hi madmack

I used your new rom and it is pretty good but I faced some problems;

When I used the original font after arabizing the force close is better than when I used this rom

Firefox also used to work fine but now the Arabic letter is disconnected.

if it is possible please attach here the original Arabic font comes with this phone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ahmedo2:
thx mr madmack it is nice so far with little of force close

good job god bless u
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nevetx:
firstly, Thank you for your work!

but what is RTL Arabic? sorry if this is a stupid question
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Azdian:
RTL ( Right To Left ) as i know Arabic and Hebrew are RTL languages

من اليمين لليسار :)

many thanks madmack .. still crashing .. but can live with it ^_^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hskeik:
God bless you :)

Any screenshots please?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
1.3 is up on the OP. Change log is also there. make sure you factory reset if you're coming from another rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Azdian:
Does it wipe everything? I'm using the old 1.2

And btw can you port galaxy s i9000 arabic keyboard to this device . Honestly smartkeyboard iant as good as samsung keyboard
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vanahaim:
Please, can somebody provide libwebcoro.so file to test? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
its available on the other thread.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] geistteufel:
In my case my download speed is higher.

It is supposed to save battery drain. The network need to support it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
1.5 is out in the OP. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the guitarist:
thanks, i've been waiting for this .. is it possible to have a deodexed version .. so that we can apply themes to the rom ?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nerotix:
How does this ROM look like? Is it like stock with touchwiz etc?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zidane:
you can try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990829

most of the important features will work on SGS2, odexed or dodexed

only limitation is that anything related to touchwiz, will not be affected.

EDIT: madmack do you know how i can add extended power menu and crt effect?

i've looked around in the forum and didnt find anything for stock (odexed) kf1 MODs
[Galaxy S II Android Development] geistteufel:
mirror done for 1.5 : http://sck.to/H6
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ameer97:
I've just flashed 1.5. it's amazing, i love the font

thank you so much madmack

there are two issues though, i seem to have a problem with the wifi, cannot connect. keeps saying "obtaining IP address" but not connecting.

the second one is less important, the email icon in arabic translated "double camera"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
I thought I fixed that yesterday before I went to bed.

Can you please go to /system/bin (using root explorer) and tell me if you have a file called "top" ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nerotix:
Anyone could tell me please or gimme a screenie?:) thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TAEL:
It is completely as stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
yea, totally stock. read the OP :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
you can't really do all of these fancy stuff because its an odexed ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
Let me know guys if anyone else is having Wifi connection issues. I'm getting more than one report of these although I can't replicate it on my device here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TAEL:
There's no issues on WiFi at all. I'm using without any problems.

Dear madmack, Thanks a lot for this ROM. I'm going to stick with it for a while. (maybe since 2.3.4)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
Yea, me too. I'm not moving from this until 2.3.4 given how solid and reliable everything is so far.

Thanks for the update on the Wifi issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] roisagi:
battery

can anyone advise about the battery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AlWakRa:
Edited, madmack included this modem already. Sorry. :o

For wifi problems and as claimed to have a better battery life. Use the newer modem file if it's not applied.

http://rootmydroid.evoboxes.net/pulser/VillainROM/MODEM_I9100XXKE7_REV_02_CL1017274.tar.md5

Flashing by Odin in Phone field. Don't check any other options. I don't take responsibility for any problem I just take it from Taiseer in ce4arab.

and thanks madmack for the new Rom. I am sure it's a great Rom. Itching to test it but I would like to spend a little longer in my current Rom as I don't have any problems with it. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MAJED.y:
Great work madmack like usual. :cool:

----------

one more thing.

Can any one make this theme compatible with the madmack's rom?

the framework needs job to be done.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104432

it's very good looking them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
already included in 1.5 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
It'll require deodexing unfortunately :( the purpose from 1.5 is to have a working RTL Stock ROM that just works and is speedy.

I might consider releasing a deodexed variant, but thats another thing for another day. I'm currently on 1.5 and I'm loving the snappy feel it has. Hope it stays that way. Battery seems pretty good too from the little time that I had playing with it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] roisagi:
can anyone reply regarding their battery life?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MAJED.y:
I see.

Thank you Madmack

_________

Regards "RTL" in your reply, Did you mean "Right To Left" in the Arabic text in app?

because if yes, i see here no RTL just like normal Arabic rom from samsung.

correct me if i'm wrong or missing something! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
People with Wifi problems. Don't flash another Kernel ! madmack's 1.5 comes with its own.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tamarian:
Since it has CWM, can the ROM be flashed via CWM as well?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
Oh, RTL means display arabic (and similar languages) texts correctly. It does not mean right to left alignment. Samsung ROMs don't have this alignment, my patcher does though even though it has some bugs here and there. So you get to choose the preference and so far my preference is the Samsung way. At least the cursor and text don't jump around.

My patcher needs some updating. I'm just waiting for CM to release new RTL fixes so I can incorporate them. Hopefully the dancing text and the boxes and flipped numbers will be all fixed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
so far its only an Odin version.

You can always make a nandroid backup and flash it later though in case you don't have Odin accessible.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
Email app name in arabic fixed:

http://www.multiupload.com/ZQN9ABUNQ9

flash this in CWM and the name of the Email app will be fixed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MAJED.y:
There's something with the stock Email app!.

In Email app you can read Arabic emails but if you try to write arabic you will get unconnected letters also the receiver will get a message with full of "????????"

this is with all the JPKF1 roms!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
Hmm.. Samsung must've messed the Email app up. Did you have this problem previously ? if not, you can always just push the Email.apk file from a previous rom and it should work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MAJED.y:
Yes, with all the firmwares!, I had to use another email clients for my Hotmail account.

hope if someone can confirm this as I'm afraid to be i'm the problem not the app :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
I don't use that app unfortunately so I can't confirm/deny it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] golaner:
very nice ROM, very fast.

i didn't test much now, but looks great

i have one question: how to activate other languages (locales) like german for example?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cturbos:
hey mad

i have the dancing text and flipped numbers ,and i`m still on the first rom that you made .what changed with the new rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
I'm afraid the ROM is limited in that aspect :( I'm not sure how you can enable other locales when the ROM is based on the Middle East ROM leak which doesn't support most western europe languages. I don't know if flashing a Multi CSC file will fix this, so I can't really speculate either.

base is different. OP has more info for ya.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tamarian:
Observations so far:

1. Numbers can mess the sequence in a sentence. This bug was squashed in one of the updates to the MOD thread, now it's back.

2. The battery percentage font is small, white on green, makes it hard to read.

3. Cell standby shows 100% without signal, but I get this on and off on stock.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] golaner:
thanks, i used htc desire before, had the same problem but there was a script http://bit.ly/lwjsIu which solved the problem, then had to do this:

Menu --> Settings -- > Applications > Manage Applications > All

Find: Customization Settings Provider

And: Clear DATA, Force Stop

After that your Language Listing will be full.

but i cant find these settings now!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] roisagi:
battery life review with this new ROM? anyone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mustinky:
will it wipe my data ??!!

and if so is titanium backup enough to restore all my stuff back ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:
Yup, i was shocked that it wiped everything, luckily i did a backup using Titanium Backup and was able to recover absolutely everything, apps, data, even pages and how i had organized apps in pages, it was perfect. This ROM is wonderful, and does "NOT" have that lag/hanging problem with apps where you scroll and the phone just hangs on that app.

And i was able to browse Arabic websites normally without any force closes.

One problem though was the "Maps" app, it was corrupted and wont open and auto force closes on start-up, to solve that, I had to delete the "Maps.apk" from the system/apps folder and then re-install it from the market, that solved it for me.

Other than, that, I love the ROM :) MAKE SURE YOU DO A TITANIUM BACKUP FIRST, THIS ROM WILL WIPE YOU TO FACTORY DEFAULTS, but the SDCard contents remain as is :)

Oh, one more thing, NOVA and NOVA2 were not working on my phone with stock ROM, but after applying this ROM, they magically worked :D :D :D

Thanks and keep up the good work guys :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:
Its just as the stock ROM, highly recommended :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] A7md Babylon:
Hello Madmack ..

is it possible to support arabic reading and writing in other roms ?? like Litening rom .... .

Or you include Other ROM's features in your rom ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noamibr1:
Just flashed 1.5 - Hebrew shown backwards on every app

:(

Internet browser, SMS etc...

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
I think Samsung does languages a bit differently in these ROMs and many western europe languages are just not included in this version unfortunately :(

Sure, check out the [MOD] thread here in the SGS2 dev section.

Really? that's a shame. You'd think they'd include Hebrew in any middle east version. You can always check out my work in the [MOD] thread which should give you Hebrew support any deodexed SGS2 ROM. At least everywhere but the Browser for now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] A7md Babylon:
Ok thanx i'll try it.

Is it with the new leaked Arabic rom files or the old one which had problem on browser ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
all the information you need is there, and in the title too :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] A7md Babylon:
Yeees!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] nos_com71:
Hi all,

I don't know if I m obsess regarding this issue or others have the same, I did notice the battery is too fast ,40% loss in 2 hrs.in a light use of the set.I said too much in compare to original ROM which came withe the set.heating is also observed .

any way I can't take this phone with me to my work because of drainage of battery.any thing I can make to solve this problem? at the end I want to give u a big thank for ur efforts.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
I honestly cannot comment on why you're getting bad battery drainage on this rom because I'm getting some of the best in it so far. This latest version is pretty stock so I don't think the problem is with the ROM itself. I know my views are shared by many from what I can see here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mustinky:
How can i delete the "Maps" app?

Im having the same problem it forces close everytime
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbushnaq00:
I need help! After flashing the rom I get a yellow traingle exclamation mark, so I flashed again with stock kernal XWKE2 and the triangle is gone, but my wireless stops working, it just hangs on Obtaining IP address, I have tried with 3 routers and they are all the same

any suggestions to fix this (other than going back the root CH kernal)

thanx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:
You need to do the following:

1. Install/buy a program called Root Explorer

2. Navigate to System/apps/

3. Make sure that root explorer has "Super user permissions"

4. Make sure that the button at the top says "Mount r/o" not "Mount R/W"

5. Delete the file called "Maps.apk"

6. Go to the market and install it again.

Cheers :)

thank you madmack, .you made me glad i chose s2 over the sensation
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
lol, i agree with you. first thing i do when i install any ROM is get smart keyboard pro. never looked back !

i'm happy to see that my work is being a factor in people's decision :)

I really suggest multiling keyboard... it has tashkeel ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbushnaq00:
thanks for the reply

I have tried flashing with KF1, but its still not working :(

It just hangs on Obtaining IP Address...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
I need to check why it doesn't work. Thanks for letting me know. For now, you can revert back to the kernel that ships with v1.5.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbushnaq00:
Anytime, but this is not specific to your ROM, as it seems the problem is coming from JPKF1 leaked rom itself, because I tried with another Galaxy S2 flashing the leaked AlWakRa JPKF1 and using the stock KF1 kernal, the wireless wont work unless its the Chainfire KF1 root kernal
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
That's truly weird. I think the files responsible are located in /system/etc/wifi

so if you'd take some files from another european firmware (say, VillainTweak's 1.1) then these drivers should be compatible with the kernel and wifi should just work.

i don't have time to run tests on that unfortunately, but please do let us know if you decide to take that route :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbushnaq00:
Can you please upload a "wifi" folder from the european firmware as I am not able to browse through the factoryfs file in my XWKE2 stock rom :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] madmack:
Get a deodexed ROM flashable via CWM and browse through the files. I'm at work now so I won't be able to fiddle with that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbushnaq00:
alright, I am downloading villainnrom 1.4
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbushnaq00:
nope it did not work :( I tried deleting the wifi folder and replacing it with the one from villainrom 1.4 then flashing the KF1 stock kernal and I got the same problem, stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" :(
