battery life

Hey!

I'm just wondering if anyone has the same problem as I do:

I shopped a brand new Galaxy S II, and the first thing I did was to flash LR v6.1, as I've been using custom ROMs since 2009 with various smartphones, and I can't think of using a phone with its stock ROM...

Everything runs smoothly and I'm very pleased, but I must say that the battery life _sucks_... It gets from 100 to 60-50 % just within 8 hours of normal using (a bit surfing, some calls). Ok, I'm used to the fact that as battery gets old, its life gets smaller and smaller, but is this normal? The phone/battery is brand new and I'm not running any special program, as I said just the browser, maps, the market... No games at all.. I called the battery info, and the program that "eats" more battery is the Android OS... I 've reset the battery stats from CWM, but no luck...

Another thing, it's a bit sad that LitePro has just "disappeared", I'm assuming that if this continues, his ROM is going to die... Another alternative which looks interesting is CriskeloROM, it must be as it has the most pages/views/replies after LR :)

Thanks for any info...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] indef:
This has probably been asked already, and it is also probably a n00b/stupid question...

If I flash to 6.1 (using 5.0 at the moment), is it possible to put the XXKI3 firmware onto the ROM afterwards, without losing all the LR stuff?

I rely on my phone and can't afford to wipe it, and I'm worried about installing a newer (read: more updated) ROM when 5.0 is still working fine (albeit with a few force closes every few weeks).

Otherwise, if anyone can recommend me a ROM that I can flash to without wiping the phone, I'd be happy to jump ship.

Thanks.

Just loaded this rom onto my phone and checked the usages and my screen is using 71%. est battery life 4 hours, I have a pure black background with 8 icons on my single home screen. The screen brightness is set to the lowest setting but still 71%?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wimpynet:
I have installed 6.1 rom, but now i have a problem.

When i recibe a mail (gmail) the notification doesnt work, even the sync is on!

Whats the problem? or is it normal in this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hollywould:
Go to settings/applications/manage/gmail, and clear the data. Then open gmail and resync.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wimpynet:
Thanks! its working now!!!

But... i have go launcher ex notification for gmail as well, and this is not working :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FinalByte:
I'm waiting for 2.3.5 version... I love this rom!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vger1:
I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a long time... DEV is missing and does not seems to come back :-(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] inkyadrian:
This has happened to 2 devs, without warning. A 3rd may be on the way. Perhaps the new US version of the SGS2 , the devs can make more money?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Radikaal:
Which devs?

And yea, didnt think about that but makes sense.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EliteTiger86:
Hey, I am completely new to all of this stuff and have the intelligence of a teletubby. I have been searching the forums and completely unsure on which Litening rom i have to download. Do i download them all or just one?

Even so, when i download any one of them it tells me that i must choose which program to open it with or choose myself, it is never a zipped file!

Urm, i was just wondering if anybody could help me with this as it has took me days to work out how to actually root my phone. I even had to type in google 'rooting for dummys' haha. I really want this custom rom!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Yellow_Racing:
Normally I would offer assistance but with the above offensive comment, work it out for yourself :mad:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EliteTiger86:
My sincerest apologies, i didnt meant to offend.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Yellow_Racing:
Thanks mate have a close mate with a DS kid, they are wonderful people they just look and sound funny. + nice choice to replace offensive remark . . . :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kmax.pt:
Read the first page tutorial carefully! Its all in there. You need to download the Program Odin and flash the rom. ALL the steps in the tutorial.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EliteTiger86:
@Yellow_racing

No problem, just an expression we tend to overuse here i guess. Never any intentions to offend.

@Kmax.pt

I do have odin installed and have rooted my phone but whenever i download one of the files it is never a zipped file. I know its definately something i'm doing wrong because everybody else can do it.

It seems to be a rar file but can not be found by odin and when i click it its asking for me to choose a program to open it with. I'm so confused as i'm very lame at this. Intead of what a rar file should look like (i thinks its a stack of books) it just looks like a blank piece of white paper as the logo.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] superjase:
a .rar file is basically a zip file. if you can't unzip it, download and install winrar. that should do the trick for you :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djvdorp:
Hi,

does anyone know if I can install the codeworkx kernel (official CWM / ROM manager kernel) when using Litening 6.1?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EliteTiger86:
Super, after all of that downloading and being up all night at the computer i still cant do it haha. I installed winrar and apparently that isnt compatible with the version of windows im using. Grr!

Is there any other possible ways i could change a rar file into a pd5?

Plus, i keep trying to install Litening_Rom_v4-2.rar, does it matter which i download (when i eventually do it)?

Many thanks

android.process.acore FC after upgrading

I upgrade to v6.1 from a previous litening version. A did a partition cache and dalvik cache wipe as stated on FAQ.

Once reboot from the flash everything seems to be OK, though passwords for WiFI networks were lost. But now I face a FC for Contacts.

On the contact list I can see the pictures and main phone but when I get into any contact (either directly with the Contact apps or with Go Contacts) it shows "There is no aditional information for this contact' and after a couple of seconds it gives a message of FC of android.process.acore.

Any idea?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] superjase:
download the latest version (6.1).

what version of windows are you using? you really should be able to extract it with winrar... download the version of winrar that is for your version of windows.

My phone is Vodafone's original and gave me to prove that if attempting to update to 2.3.5 OTA from Vodafone spain...

Surprise! I have an update via OTA being flashed ... Is this normal?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mustoura:
Something does not sound right . Are you sure your using windows ? lol (joke).

Which version windows are you using?

It really isn't that hard it shouldn't take you no more than 20minutes and that with installing odin, winrar ,winzip or winzip7 on your computer and flashing LR6.1 on your phone.

Stick to LR 6.1 download

Don’t know about that particular kernel, but if you are looking for a smoother and more battery efficient kernel… Speedmod kernel was the one for me on LT6.1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mustoura:
Keep your opinions to yourself if you try a different Rom go for you. If someone wants to try different Rom do a search. I have found my replacement Rom i don't need to spray it in here as it is rude one thing for sure i keep coming back to listening Rom because it is fast stable only thing missing is any updates and some people are fine with that.

My point here is keep the post to answering any questions that issues someone new might having .

looking for some help please.

I downloaded the latest version of lite'ning from here: http://www.multiupload.com/FMLNDSRWOY

and when I went to install the zip from sd card in CWM(after doing all the proper wiping etc) I couldn't find the ROM, even though i put it on my internal memory. The only rom that I could find was VillainROM which is the ROM i'm currently on. I checked again to make sure the rom was on the phone as I connected the phone up to my computer again and sure enough it was there along with VR.

Any idea on why I can't find it when trying to install it?

The file type says WinRAR archive, whereas the villainrom file says WinRAR ZIP archive on my computer.

Would like to get someone's help to let me flash Lite'ning rom onto my S2.

If you read the first post on this tread, the whole post, you will understand why you are having trouble.!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robmeik:
If you read the FIRST page, it clearly says that this ROM is installed via Odin... and it gives very clear instructions on how to install it!!

:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chicoelnino:
Yeah I'm sorry. Android noob here and didn't take the time to read instructions. All sorted now. Thanks. This rom seems way better than VR so far. No echo for one on voice calls.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robertus23:
hello

I have one question;

do i have to first root my sg2 before install this rom?

thank you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MASKofTEAM:
No, the LR roots the phone when installed.

What a wonderful ROM; no fm radio!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cjindustry:
are there special steps to add clockwork rom to this so that i can backup and restore this rom after I flash this rom via odin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EliteTiger86:
Thank you very much, super cool ROM! I'm very excited for the next update. There is a way my phone notifies me when there is an update right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ~Spyne~:
CWM Recovery is included, press the power button for >1 second and the power menu pops up. Click 'Recovery' and the phone will ask if you want to reboot into Recovery, yes.

Not that I'm aware of, though there may not be any more updates - LitePro seems to have disappeared for the last 6 or so weeks.

It is an excellent ROM, but people will have to move to something else if they wish to stay up-to-date and LitePro doesn't come back (such a pity).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eRPeeX:
For now and probably definitely there will be no updates anymore. This Rom has become a sinking ship without a captain. It's sad but it's true.:(

But fortunately there are other green pastures on which to graze. :D

The King is dead. Long live the King!

Great themes to spruce up LR 6.1

All credit to the developer BananenAffe

FYI - applying the themes seems to have removed the mysterious RED DIALER ICON.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -rev-:
I flashed this ROM last night. Looks excellent so far. The only bug I've found is that the "hints" in swype appear to be in Dutch. I've set the language to English but it's not changed anything. Apart from that it's all good so far.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] a03dugga:
Yeah its a shame that there wont be any new updates, i really like this rom, i think its one of the best out there.

CM7.1 is too buggy for now and not really liking much other ROM's yet.

Any suggestions?

A: Issues that I can remember:

- Video playback - some formats are not recognized, use an alternative app for video playback

- Camera - some modes don't work

- TVout

- FMRadio

- Issues when using the 2G/3G-Switch

- Volume issues (some report too high, others too low)

Lite'ning still the best until now.

Really enjoying the ROM!

Just one question, previously on stock ROM my auto rotate screen would not rotate when someone was actaully ringing me (before I answered), but now when I take the phone from my poket it is usually in landscape mode which is annoying as I have to flick it to portrait mode and this takes time. Does anyone know a way to stop this behaivour from happeing?

tl;dr how can I stop the autorotate when the phone rings but not for all other applications/general phone use?

Does anyone have the issue of the screen not going to sleep?

It doesn't happen often (and I need to find out under which conditions it does) but sometimes the screen remains lit, which is obviously bad for the battery.

I didn't install any app that changes the behaviour of the screen (such as screebl) but I did install quite a few apps (dropbox, file managers, etc).

this is the first rom i have ever used and it looks like it has some cool features, but i keep getting a force close " ! the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again". at first when i used odin it was stuck on the rom flashing, had the firmware update yellow triangle !. flashed the stock kernel and now my phone wasn't bricked anymore. i have 6.1 lightning but with that error- tried to give as much info as possible for the people to help, thanks

[Galaxy S II Android Development] NoPompem:
Now that you have stock firmware, backup your EFS folder keep it safe. This is your imei number. Then flash cfroot kernel. Clear dalvik via clockwork. After that flash LR6.1 It should be fine. If it happens again, repeat.

The yellow triangle is not an indication of bricking. It simply means you have a custom kernel. A USB jig, if you can solder will fix that. And also, if you do brick the device, using the USB jig will hide custom binary flash. And then samsung will accept it under warranty. Google any terms you don't understand and read about it, you will get it.

Hi Everyone,

Installed Litening ROM lastnight and after using it for a bit I can say that it's definitely quicker than stock, this is my first custom ROM. On another point, I think it makes the power draining display stand out (correct me if I'm wrong). Will continue to play with it for a while then I may test out another ROM.

Keep up the good work.
