could anyone kindly upload the Google Talk App from v1.42? I do not want to donwload the whole ROM just to grab the app...

Or do I have to change anything else to make the app workin? Then I will install v1.42

Thx.

Amazing ROM for 1.4. Got everything I hoped for.

Now trying 1.42.

after fixing the bugs etc, it'll going to be the BEST S2 rom!

The battery usage better be good on this 1.42. Version 1.40 was bad - like 30mA on sleep mode overnight!!!! crazy!! It's supposed to be 2-8mA

How should I update from 1.40 to 1.42 ?

Is it recommended to do a full cache/data/dalvik wipe and fresh install ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eybee1970:
just flash it over - no need to do a data wipe...dalvik and cache will be automatically wiped anyways
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ayk33:
if you use CM recovery, everything works perfectly as DG wrote down, it'S just about fix permissions. you can select it under recovery mode. mine 1.41 worked great...

i just wipe dalvik cache and flashed 1.41 and fix permission

Natural selection awaits all those that are too lazy to read. If you're not being extracted from your bedroom out the side of your house in 10 years time because you got so fat out of laziness I'll be surprised.

How long does it take to knock up a ROM like this; let alone the R&D time spent improving it. Compare that to how long it takes to read a bunch of posts telling you how to install it.

I'm constantly amazed that some people have managed to stay alive.

BTW, much appreciation to DesignGears for this little lot. Made up. Cheers.

Does anyone have a quicker download link for 1,42?

Great ROM DG, I have been all round the houses on ROMS and finally come back to where I started ....COGNITION. I was getting 2 days of light to medium useage on 1,4. Though I have two spare batteries, I dont much care. I am getting a work phone and will be flashing it also - I convinced my boss to get a SGS2 and will flash Cognition on there also.....after I explain to him the benefits.

Battery is back to normal with 1.41. It was draining too quickly with 1.40.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:
I'm curious, after reading the last 4 pages, there is absoutely zero useful information as to a new comer who would like to install this.

Its all "MAH BATTERY LIFE SUCKZ, PLEESE FIX, or DIS IS BROKKEN, PLEESE FIX NOW"

Serously people, its simple, if you are having issues, restore a nandroid and wait till there is a mirror for 1.42, then WIPE EVERYTHING, system, cache, dalvik and data. Yes the install wipes system, but still do it yourself in recovery.

Quit asking or help and figure it out yourself. The ones that know what we are doing can only help so much. I have ZERO issues with anything, reason being, I read. Shocker. READING, and figuring it out yourself.

::Sigh:: designgears does freaking awesome work, however things he might leave out or forget, have been more than posted on the forum somewhere.

Battery life - Calibrate your battery for 2-3 days then report back. Look for a Rogue app or widget. Think. Dont always blame is on the ROM, OMG, DIS ROM SUCKS IS DRAIN MAH BATTERYZ TO FAST.

I sound like ninpo, but serously he has a point to his posts.

Installed 1.42 a few hours ago and battery life got instantly better than 1.40 . Didn't even calibrate the battery (will do after full load cycle), but looks very promising.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] chiggah:
What app did you use ? SetCPU ? Does SetCPU work with 1.42?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:
Use SetCPU to control Voltages. He has a link in the OP to download....Or click here if you are lazy.

Voltages stable for me are as followed, stable and awesome battery life. However remember every CPU is different.

200 - 850mV

500 - 875mV

800 - 975mV

1000 - 1075mV

1200 - 1175mV

1400 - 1325mV

1600 - 1400mV - left this one stock, like to supply plenty of voltage when running this high of a clock speed.

FIRST OFF MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE SET ON BOOT CHECKED. Once your phone becomes stable, then you may check set on boot.

Most are -75 to -100mV undervolted, and phone runs great, if you encounter and lag or anything, try and increase them 25mV at the last 2 steps. 1000 and 1200. If you run your phone higher at a higher daily clock speed, these voltages should be stable for you. It is possible to run 1350 @ 1.6 and 1300 @ 1.4 however It was a little laggy for me. Might work good for you however.

Remember this is only a guide. If your phone freezes, you will need to increase everything 25mV, MOSTs phone will be stable at 200 - 850, if you want to be risky, drop to 825, or even 800...

As for a "profile" in SetCPU, up it to Screen Off - Priority 100 - On Demand govenor, and 200mhz - 500mhz. This will prevent your phone from jumping up to max frequency while sleeping. So it will never use over 875mV while off. And still wakes up from deep sleep just fine.

Regards Fast Dormancy - turning it off will only help you if your network does not support Fast Dormancy. You'd have to ask your carrier or trial it on and off to know.

Also linux shell commands like "ctrl+w" don't work anymore. ctrl+u and ctrl+a, ctrl+e do work...

@RaPiiDe, thanks. Must be the new kernel. Maybe DG will fix this in the future. No hurry :)

In case you don't want the samsung swype, you could edit the zip file and remove the following files:

/system/app/Swype.apk

/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

I also removed the following since i'm not using it. These files are safe to remove:

LiveWallpapers.apk

SecretWallpaper1.apk #(live wallpaper1)

SecretWallpaper2.apk #(live wallpaper2)

Swype.apk

Microbesgl.apk

signin.apk

PostIt.apk

You can also remove the Kies apks if you don't use them.

Kies.apk

KiesAir.apk

kieswifi.apk

This way you'll have a cleaner install from scratch ;)

have fun.

OMFG, you're serious? :eek:

What do you mean by "your phone becomes stable"? thx :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPhilo:
He means after a long daily use of the phone + benchmarking and playing games without it crashing you can set it on boot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:
If you are tinkering with voltages, trying to see the lowest you can go, you might encounter a freeze that requires a battery pull, and you dont want the phone booting back up with that voltage. So to prevent it uncheck set on boot. So once you hit a voltage that doesnt freeze or lag, your phone will be "stable"

This is only if you want to be frisky and try lower voltages :).

Hence, "when your phone becomes stable" or you "decide to stop messing with voltages" :). IMO, once set no need to ever set them again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:

I'm not sure the new kernel is faster honestly.

It doesn't feel any *snappier*, and as much as I despise benchmarks quadrant was 400+ points lower at stock speeds. Also linpack was 86-88, ninphetamine was 91-94.

This is also based off .35.7, where ninphetamine is based on 35.11.

Edit. Ninphetamine is quicker all around to me.

I am going to guess it means this version will not activate server specific security policies. Meaning that if you use this version to activate exchange push for mail, you will not have to setup a lock-screen password. For me, it makes no difference - as I did not wipe before installing 1.42. I still have EMAIL listed as a device administrator under security settings - which allows the administrator to:
