I love TouchWiz. Brings features that stock doesn't have and CM has too many missing features or bugs for me. I find having TV-out, getting proper video playback and camera picture quality to be more important than what the ROM brings. Usually CM has a lot to do about speed and there Touchwiz with stock or Cognition is on par. So I see no reason to switch.

I don't know how often I use the slide contact left/right to message/call and all those small things that Touchwiz has incorporated. I'm currently on this ROM. I can wait for 2.3.5 as it doesn't bring any important goodies, or at least none that I need.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
+1 The Go EX launcher with JKay is as custom as I would ever need. I am using Leomar Revolution right now while waiting for the next incarnation here.

The lack of true SNS integration with the contacts list is really annoying me though. LOL Doesn't work on either ROM for me and I cannot find the issue.

Daily flashing is not my thing either. I take these breaks in my fav ROM to try others and see what they are up to. (although I have to admit "others" has only been Leo's because he has so many hits on his thread)

Its sammy for u tbh, hardware usually is good and software side of things is done by kids in kindergarden lol!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
Honestly for me, TouchWiz is awesome. It is extremely smooth, and I have no lag. In addition I use a lot of Widgets that Samsung includes for TouchWiz. TouchWiz ftw!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stony2k:
Same here, too. I see no reason in switching to CM7 (except for taking a look at IC 4.0 for a short look ^^)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ayamary:
CM7 is gingerbread, you'd probably want CM9!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
I reflashed Cog 1.5.1. It didn't wipe but flashed all the SNS files with the re install and all works. I could not find a ROM that wipes LOL. I was restoring back ups. I then flashed Leos Revolution No Wipe and everything is still working so that issue is cleared up.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
Totally agree with you. TouchWiz Roms with fast window animations and home button fix are extremely fast. I don't see any reason to switch to CM7 right now, but I'll definetely switch to CM9 when its out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ayamary:
The only thing I'd miss is the camera if I have to switch to cm9 to get ice cream sandwich
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stony2k:
The camera is one major thing which let's me stick with Touchwiz.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yaronAD:
sorry M8s but what exact. is the connection between the camera ? and the launcher?/Touchwiz?

and CM7 is a total rom,no? or there's a separate Launcher too?:confused:

either way I advise you to try the GOlauncher EX > it take the best from all the rest

;)

.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vnvman:
When i say TW i mean the whole ui, not only the launcher, wich is just the Touch Wiz launcher. It's like Sense: it's not only the launcher, there's a lot more ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ICDeadPpl:
The camera stays the same no even if you use another launcher, you know that, right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
There are so many better cameras on the Market though. Camera360 is one. Are you saying no cameras work with CM9?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] method77:
I believe he means the camera works better with Samsung Roms. Quality and all that

Just an FYI, if you are having issues with google exchange server (m.google.com) it is on their end, all my phones are refusing to login.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stony2k:
CM7 is a total rom, based on Google's original Android. The most launchers (Go Launcher etc.) are working on it. I don't use the Touchwiz launcher, I prefer Go Launcher EX. But I like the whole Samsung rom, it's very stable, fast and clean (thx to Designgears).

The hardware stays the same. But the software is another. I tried CM7's camera software and the photo's quality is quiet worse than photos with Samsung's camera app.

Tried a lot of those apps from the market, but don't got comfortable with them..

Yep, I do :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] victaaaa:
Yeah thats true, I have CM7 running right now and photos are pretty bad

Waiting eagerly for Cognition update :D

Certainly looking forward to an update! The phone won't shine without the hardware accelerated goodies that stock ROM derivatives offer, especially TouchWiz!

This is probably the best rom out there... tried others, even 2.3.5's and KI8 etc' , no one is comparing to this.

Is there a way to unlock the phone by pressing the home button twice (similar to the HTC Desire's way of unlocking by pressing the touchpad-thingy twice)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LarryLars:
DesignGrears will be on hiatus for a while (as per Twitter). Might be a while before we see an update.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bmmaximus:
im having a problem with this sometimes when i reboot my phone when it turns back on it doesnt detect my sim card. another reboot generally fixes it but i would like not to have to reboot twice 75% of the time. any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] harrispo:
I get that sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't detect my SD card. Works fine on the laptop using an adapter though
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
He recently released the i9100 ROM for the US ATT i777 model. When I had the Captivate the better ROMS were always the i9000 ROMS that were ported over which is one reason I chose the i9100 over waiting for the i777.

These ROMS get ported to the American version. Few of their ROMs will be ported here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tonycfc:
Do you experience this only on this ROM? That is rare, maybe there is a problem with your sim card holder on your phone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caanda45:
LOL it already has been ages since the last update...promises and promises...I am out of here......tired of waiting...

No, I don't think so, looks like the AT&T SGS i9100 rom DG's is working on, it will have to be ported to the European i9100 first.

I want ICS on the i9100 now !!!!!! :p, come on Samsung, don't make us wait to long.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Actually yes, this is the unified beta DG is working on....it works on i9100 as planned. it is still lacking some things so its not quite as polished as cognition... if your looking for an upgrade that might not be it just yet.. now, I haven't tried it myself (perfectly satisfied with cognition here) but there's only a couple pages to read...

Bt auto connect

Hi,

I´m trying to use the phone with a Pioneer 3380bt car stereo but i need to manual connect it everytime i get in the car.

My wife´s mobile (Nexus One with CyanogenMod) once paired automatically gets connected when in range.

Does anyone can auto connect the GS2 (in CogS2 1.5.1) with a bluetooth car stereo?

New Roboto Fonts onto SGS2?

Hi,

is there a way to get the new Icecream Sandwich Roboto fonts on the SGS2. Here they are as ttfs: http://bandbinnovations.com/xda/Roboto-Fonts.zip
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Take the down time opportunity to try some other ROMs. Cognition isn't the only game in town. You may find something you like better. Then come back when DG releases the new XXKI4 2.3.5 build. You may appreciate this ROM better after trying a few others.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] danm200:
Maybe we get ICS Cognition huh DG?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JeffK:
Any way to run 1.5.1 WITHOUT the home button lag fix?

Perhaps this is a silly question . . . I'm stuck on Cognition S2 1.4.2 because I use the heck out of the double-click home button for the built-in Vlingo. Is there any way for me to upgrade to 1.5.1 and then UNDO the home button lag fix which prevents me from using that feature?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrBira:
Yeah, anyone able to get it into an *.APK and share it here?

EDIT: Download and install https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite&hl=en

And you can get Roboto to your SGS2!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] perler:
that't to hackish for me. (ok, this sound's ridiculous in a forum for rooting your phone..) I would like to have this font additionally to the original one..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FireMAN999:
Yep, worked fine.

Quite like the roboto font.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ayamary:
I think you have to change back to the default Droid Sans font (for those who are not seeing changes)

I am trying Rarity ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bmmaximus:
i am only having this problem with this rom. i compared the sim card holder and the back plate on mine and my brothers SII it looks identical. even if i open it up while the phone is on and move the sim card around, take it out and put it back in, press down on it, still does not detect only a reboot fixes it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
Removing a sim card in a samsung phone will require a reboot for it to be detected again. Pretty standard.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vnvman:
Yes, but only in samsung roms, cm7 doesn't need a restart ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caanda45:
Well mate you seem to care causz you replied. Cognition is a great rom but I like change and updates. DG is busy with the AT&T phone and I understand that. AT&T having a SGSII will do nothing but help create more roms that will be ported both ways. That is good for all of us . I have tried many new roms and DG`s are very good but as mentioned before it is not the only game in town.

I hope this leaves a more positive note here, in reading back what I wrote I guess it can be considered negative, I was just frustrated and upset on the lack of progress here in Cognition. So I have moved on and never say never, I may be back!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FireMAN999:
Still here, I thought you left.

Guys, any of you can play the newest update of Angry Birds Rio v1.3.2.2 ??

On my SGS2 with Cognition v1.5.1, the game always FC. This only happened after I updated the game to v1.3.2 and then to v1.3.2.2 which supposedly fix the FC issues.

Just curious whether this is the problem from the ROM or the game itself since on the review, lots of other users who had trouble with v1.3.2 now can play the game with v1.3.2.2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] method77:
no problem here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gibsonus:
This happens with many off my games. Usually moving from card to phone or vice versa works for me. I don't know why.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tangiers:
Gave CM a go because they got BT to work. But found that my phone got excessively hot when using stock browser on 3G (I mean blazing hot!)

It's not the radio as I don't have the problem on this rom.

As someone said earlier on this thread, this rom should be called the rom you come back to....

One thing I did enjoy with CM is being able to flash a new rom every day. Reminded me why I chose Android to start with.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
I think this is a reasonable explanation. There are a lot of ROMs and trying a few won't hurt the device and open some minds. You can always come back and try whatever eventually lands here and keep up with the thread as I do.

I hated using i9000 ROMS on my captivate so I am not sure I want to use ATT ROMs on my i9100 :confused:

The vibration icon will show in the notification bar when vibrate is set to always (settings-sound-vibrate). If you change it to something else the icon disappears, not a real solution but you do get rid of the icon.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bpt888:
I haven't tested 1.6 yet because I have to take a business trip and need it to work properly. Anyway, I have 1.5 on it and loved it. I remember I had problems with the CRT animation not working when I first installed the 1.5 ROM. The fix turned out to be simply turning animation off and on again in settings. Also I found out, via trial and error, that if you have Spare Parts installed, Windows Animation speed should be set to Normal. If not the CRT animation won't work.

Recap. Make sure in Spare Parts (if you have it installed) you set Window Animations speed to normal. Second, go into Settings -> Display -> Animation and toggle (choose something else) before choosing All Animation.

Hope this helps others. Spare Parts was really the culprit here as some people didn't have it installed and some did. Caused a lot of headache for me when I first installed Cognition Rom and wondered why CRT animation was not working.

I hope this feature doesn't get removed.

I will try the new one when I get a chance to.

Cheers.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] RSkillz:
I actually haven't used your ROM yet as I'm pretty new to the Android / Galaxy S2 scene, but taking a picture by pressing down the volume button is actually one of the reasons this ROM caught my eye. It's the simple tweaks like that that make custom ROMs worth it.

Also I vote for using the SpeedMod Kernel (k2-5) as I don't need any OC'ing.

I'll wait for the next update and give this ROM a try.

Also, thank you for all your work
