Guys I need a bit of help! I have an awesome idea for a user interface which I had saved for Mozilla's B2G. But now I want to make it as a skin for Android. How do I make skins for Android? Like HTC made Sense, Samsung made TouchWiz I wanted to make my own concept a reality! I'm looking forward to this very eagerly! Thanx in advance!

No matter how difficult it is, I'm willing to do it.

CM9 Doubts

U said it. CM9 is truly impressive. I tried CM7 on my friends phone and hated it. Right from design to functionality, CM9 seems to have got most of it right. I really don't feel like giong back to GB. Lol. Also the thread mentions that there are problem with auto rotate but mine seems to work fine in the gallery and contacts etc. I think I fails in some games though.

Oh btw, did you try the lastest build released today? 04012012. I can now move apps to SD. :P It's awesome. Also flashed GApps 7.1 + fix. Everything working fine.

I just have a couple of thing I need help with:

1) Could you pls try the GT Free+ game tell me if the opening video plays or you just have a blank screen with the audio? Also, does the accelerometer behave properly while racing?

2) I have flashed GApps 7.1 but how do I check that it has falshed correctly. As in, how do I check GApps version on the phone?

3) I guess u missed my last post so I'll ask again, how do I disable fast dormancy in CM9 and is there any way to calibrate gyro and accelerometer.

4) MOST IMP! Does MTP work for you. My phone connects fine but I can't transfer files from my PC to the phone. Give me an error. :(

5) The media scanner never seems to run. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] omkarpatil:
Nope other things were working perfectly... Like twitter, forum app. Worse , market didn't even work on wifi..
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ radical

1. no time to test games as of now pal, all the game data in home ;)

2. you can check the apps version via "manage apps", i dont think there is going to be much of a change from 6 to 7.1.

3. for calibration there are some apps in market for that , dunno the name exactly, search in market, and if you find it ill be glad if you inform me too.

4.im not using mtp, only using wifi to transfer data/files so easy.

5. normally the media service will complete if there is no weird thing happening when scanning sd card. if its not running then it seems it has completed the scanning successfully, so no worries :)

and for disabling fast dormancy never thought of that till now :D will ask my friend and lets see if i get an answer(google ofcourse)

@ chetan

great job pal, proud to see your rom getting listed there .
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Cool thanks man. Unfortunately back to GB + Criskelo for now man. Too many bugs to keep a track of. lol. Really missing CM9 though. Eagerly waiting for a stable release. :)

Oh and I was careful not to mess up my primary account cuz I unticked "keep this account backed up with google servers". :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
im on 7.1 and yes im getting notifications, just sent a test mail. try clearing the cache ,it should work
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Thanks friends :D

BTW It was on that site the next day after i launched it on 10th december.Actually that site pulls info from xda real time.

Its that you noticed now..lol..But thanks all for your support and good words.BTW anybody here has tried my ROM?

The funny thing is My ROM is on a vast multitude of other sites ( right from turkish,french,arabic and what not).But nobody gives credit to me...lol :(
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
oops, thats a real big question :D, will surely try your rom when i get back to GB
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Hey Chetan, I would like to ask you something man!

The thing is I would like to create a custom UI for Android. Sort of like htc made sense, so how do I go about it? :(

No one replied to my post earlier :(
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
do you know android programming?

Thanx for the help! Checking that out! :D
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
First of all answer these questions first :

1) rate yourself in Java

2) rate yourself in hexcode and xml editing

3) Your proficiency in photoshop,GIMP,etc

4) Android SDk knowledge?

5) Your knowledge of eclipse?

Do one thing log into Linda's tutorial for starters.You definitely need that if you are serious about your concept.

I have been using CM9 from the first build and later on used KP8. I hope you did try KP8 before CM9.

Now , You can judge what ICS ROM would really like to expect from Samsung !!!

Don't you think Sammy's leaked ROM is one step back ! :)

Wow , now the Indian Stock ROM is the latest . Cool .!

Anyway , I wanna know can a USB jig be used to reset the counter after flashing the KL1 kernel .?

Also is there any way to get the Advanced power menu (with restart) on Stock KL1 .??

Plz reply ....
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Yes the counter can be reset via JIG very easily incase it does'nt work flash the old bootloader from Intratech's thread

The advanced power menu is i believe you are calling is Recovery .... for stock it Home+Power+Vol Up

If you are rooted and have a Custom / Rooted Kernel the same button combo will provide you with a custom Recovery called the Clock Work Mod you can do tonnes of stuff from there ..... but for that you need to root :) .... i'm unaware of your root status as of now
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
used both cm9 and kp 8 build, and ofcourse cm9 is pure aosp and it gives full ics experience, thats what its meant for.;)

actually cm9 and sammy roms are different paths, both have good and bad things.

ill be only disappointed if the final build from samsung didnt use all or atleast most of the ics goodies.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Yes, Indeed...like Full Screen Caller Id, SMS App with new Layout, New Gallary App. I doubt they will give us. We are not even going to get Photo & Video Editor of ICS. Samsung will give the ones they have made for us...Frankly Diff i see with Sammy's ICS and Pure ICS is...things like, Long press on item !!!

AOSP ICS will not show popup in most cases. while Samm's one will show it.

Use Go Switch Widget ...

and yaa ... you would need to install GO Launcher Ex for GO Switch Widget to work :)
[Galaxy S II General] sumitpathak:
Yes in theory you can. Follow the steps below:

1) Use DoomLord's zergrush exploit to root your phone. It will only work on GB 2.3.4 and below.

2) Buy Mobile Odin and use it to flash ROMS.

I have never tried this as my counter is already above 1 :D and i have jig to reset it :p

I need stock indian version of samsung galaxy SII so that i can flash my firmware and update it via kies again Help plz...
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
lovely, flashing this tonight!

I purchased the phone for the screen + hardware. Everything else I can change and will change if I don't like it. If someone made the phone exactly like I wanted it, I would buy that. Otherwise I'll buy something which already has the things which I can't change and then change it to what I want. Don't think it is shocking or idiotic in anyway.

If I wanted it, of course I would buy a Honda, mod it to get it to look like an Audi, and then get a Ferrari engine in it (of course I would need tonnes of money that I don't have ;), and I would probably go for a Lamborghini anyway!)

Sorry for the long post, but I found your post a bit too narrow-minded.
[Galaxy S II General] niteshjain92:
can u post the link from where u purchased the jig
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Hmmm....its quiet possible that you can root the phone without an yellow triangle

But a long process..i mean few more steps ,but easy ones are needed

Step :1 - If you anroid version is below 2.3.5 ie roms before KJ3 (I FLASHED KJ3 and checked) are rootable with DoomLord's method . You can Root by DoomLord's method without any yellow triangle. Its a simple 3-4 min procedure. Just follow the method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582

Step 2 :Install Darkyrom2 tool, and Download corresponding CF-Root Insecure Kernel from Chairfire thread and copy it to mobile and flash it from DarkyRom2 Tool. It will ensure that you will have latest CMW recovery and manager. Then you take nandroid from Cmw manager

Step :3 Flash any stock firmware from cmw manager and cmw recovery,it will have option to route also,in this way you will never loose root ,no yellow triangle and no increase in binary count

Or after rooting with Doomlord's method, Download Mobile Odin ., If you can Buy from market Buy Mobile odin Pro or install new firmware with everroot option. I even flashed ICS KP8 rom with Mobile Odin Pro

If you are flashing any ROM, flash always and always through Odin (of course if CWM is not the way). Odin is 99.99% safe like Chetan said a few posts back :) Kies is like - Samsung had no other job but to give a loads of buggy box.

ya we can get it, but it gives a personal satisfaction of doing something like that. also it will only take few mins :)

as you are already in kp8, dont bother about bootloaders and stuff, download the cm9 zip and flash it straight away after a factory reset via cwm.

lol sure, the production cost will be as i said , but what about the delivery charge? it will go above 100 :D

Criskelo init.d

@bala

I just noticed that my init.d folder is empty after moving to criskelo. I remember there being a bunch of scripts in the init.d folder when I was on CheckROM. Is this normal? Isn't criskelo a zipaligned ROM, shouldn't the zipalign script be in the init.d folder?
[Galaxy S II General] rc_k:
I just flashed criskelo it's loading in god damn spanish how do i change the language i can't make crap outta it ..... :(
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
its zipaligned, zipalign script in init.d zipaligns it on every boot. you can always extract the scripts from init.d folder wither in previous criskelo or from any other roms and copy it to yours. personally i didnt see much of a difference with the bunch of init.d scripts in custom roms, atleast most of them does nothing. only noted some performance improvement from thunderbolt scripts.

Duuude! I had ordered a Jig from ebay. First one they delivered was faulty. If you're willing to solder the circuit yourself and fix it, you'll have a fully functional finished Jig. If you say, I can give it to you when I go to Hyderabad for treatment on 12th this month :D
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I don't have any problems with bootloader

I usually keep switching between ICS and KL1 from CWM recovery and i have 2.3.3 bootloader installed

I also ordered one with a combo of OTG cable but the jig was faulty

Today shipped it back to seller for replacement

But shipping back itself costed me 150
[Galaxy S II General] abhi2889:
actually i came to know that samsung is replacing i9100 with i9100g in india and i wanted i9100 so got it from dubai..

and some one can tell me if that yellow tint issue is gone or not? I read that after some firmware update it's gone and only appears after every restart.. Is it true? I am getting worried as my friend is getting it for me and i won't have any warranty as i bought from dubai.

In ebay u can directly call the seller and ask if its I9100 or I9100G

But the once sold their are I9100 mostly(as they are listed as I9100)

And u will have 1 year warranty(as playing with these this can brick it and if u can fool Samsung service center they can give u warranty)

Sim Card can be hot swapped in galaxy s2..right???

Edit :I did that myslef now,it asked me reboot,i ignored and then turned flight mode on and off, New Sim with worked

Gsm arena also saying same thing : "Much to our surprise the SIM card was hot-swappable. Sure, the Galaxy S II will politely ask you to restart when you take out the active SIM, but if you ignore that, insert another card and then restart the radio by turning airplane mode on and back off you will still have fully functional telephony with the new card. Different carriers are no problem either."

Get the firmware & stock kernel version you want to flash from the intra thread, also get the Indian csc and flash all via Odin. If you're on a new bootloader then u may new to downgrade.

I suggest to update it. Following benefits I have noticed:

1. Improved battery life.

2. Yellowish tint gone.

3. Camera pink spot gone.

4. Phone seems faster.

5. Added blue tint effect when over scroll - matter of personal taste

6. Now home screens have continuous scroll like app screens

7. Minor improvements in TW widgets.

8. Now opposite party can hear me more clearly i.e. mic volume issue seems sorted.

9. As stable or maybe more so as previous KF3 - no crashes or restarts in last few days at all.

10. There is a new 'system' power saving mode. This seems to throttle the CPU, but makes phone a bit laggy. But very good to enable at night for best power savings.

Issues still there:

1. App drawer is still messed up (prefer to use ADW Launcher EX)

2. No video in GTalk.

3. 3G seems a tad slower, but maybe problem with Voda, not phone.

4. Contacts open sometimes lags.

I updated through Kies (did not want to try Odin) since last update was without any issues. Bu this time Kies did take 3 tries though - once download stopped midway, second time, after installing the drivers it lost communication, third time it updated without any problem. Though Kies is problematic - sometimes one does not know if it really is doing anything or has just hung/crashed. One has to have patience with it and let it finish on its own.
