Just compared several main sites -

Time to invoke the same sites on 1.0.8 is up to X3 faster than 1.31 (Checked with Dolphin Browser).

1.31 was not faster than 1.0.8 for any site.

But - Home screen move smoother on 1.31.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jastonas:
Browsing experience through menus makes a big big big difference when having the overscroll effect or not. I can't argue which one is the best (I personally can't live without it anymore :P ) so I agree with at least having the option for the overscroll effect.

It is kind of bumpy updating rom versions and having a different user experience everytime.

Before anyone attacking me saying "If you want overscroll glow effect, stick on earlier version you troll".. I ll reply that this is what I am doing :)

Excellent work till now DesignGears. I have tried all roms out there, can't find something better than Cognition :)

P.S. Another small request : Battery from Exynos Extreme would be great to see in you rom :)

updated to 1.31, now when plugged into my PC it keeps constantly finding samsung MTP device, over and over again, rebooted no joy, power off and powered up again and now ok, probably nothing to worry about but thought i'd mention it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrchilly:
Sorry for posting this here guys but I need your help. I have asked this question in the General Q&A forum first but no one over there seems to know the answer.

The charging/usb socket on my phone has died so I can't charge it or connect to the pc via usb. I need to remove Cognition and go back to stock so that I can return it to 3 for repair.

Is it possible to flash back to stock without usb? And are there stock roms available to download which can be flashed via CWM not Odin?

I'm a bit stuck and would really appreciate any help.

Hi Designgears!

I see you're "rooting" the device from the script /etc/init.d/99install_kernel_files.sh where you copy su, superuser.apk etc from /vendor/files but the issue is that ninphetamine initramfs does not have the folder /vendor/files (after booting at least). Is that the reason some people are losing root with this ROM?

Thanks!

There's no reason to make such upgrade, check what it has been said in nimphetamine's kernel thread.

In any case as has been answered to me some post earlier if you upgrade CWM with CF-Root kernel you'll LOSE nimphetamine's kernel (and all its advantages).

As stated before:

in version 1.15/1.20 kernel was a custom version BASED on nymphetamine's and it had whatever ClockWorkMod it was custom designed for.

Since 1.30 kernel is full nymphetamine's release, so with the ClockWorkMod he wants.

As stated before by nymphetamine's developer there's no mean to upgrade the ClockWorkMod Recovery because there are no new features and/or bugfixes that justify such an upgrade to a version newer than 4.0.0.2.

Hi guys, just 2 simple questions :

1. Does a kernel contains the modem?

2. can i install the current kernel upon version 1.0.8 ?

Thanks! !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
No.

Yes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] isotoper:
Thanks !!

Another small question :

If I will install the current kernel over 1.0.8 which has HW acceleration, will I lose the HW acceleration ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
No, you will not.. HW Accelerated browser is a property of the ROM, and not the kernel. In any case, you can easily flash back to the 1.0.8 kernel if you don't like the new one. No data will be lost. But that said, It's always better to have a nandroid backup ready :)

Last one - Where from can I download this kernel ? I did try to search but didn't find.

I just saw that DG wrote that this kernel is "based on #MODEM| I9100XXKG3".

Hi

I noticed onething and would like to share here. It may help if anyone has the same issue as of mine.

ISSUE:

whenever I use rom manager to backup my ROM the device switches off and reboot to get to recovery mode. But it never get to recovery mode instead it gets in to a screen which shows a white triangle with few horizontal colour lines just above the triangle. No further action happens.

Solution:

When you see the screen as described above (result of any action either rom backup or trying flash something through rom manager) don't panic. Keep holding power button for few seconds until you see battery icon and just leave the power button. It will start doing the action you selected in the rom manager.

Hope it helps.

I may suggest PO consider leaving this note in the first page.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] isotoper:
kalpik ,

I know what happened, the 1.31 flashed the I9100XXKG3 modem, and when I restore the 1.0.8, the modem didn't change of course.

Now I have to go back to the 1.0.8 original modem...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dadechat:
I know that ! But stock browser is !

And there is no possible comparison between the smoothness of a stock odexed browser and the scrolling of a page with a 3rd party browser.

This is the only reason that prevents me flashing a cognition ROM at the moment.

Anyway, that's my point of view. Some share it, some don't.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
Well that's you. DG cant do anything to you who only flashes a ROM so he can have a smooth stock browser :)

some questions

Hi,

I have some noob questions. Can someone please answer?

I flashed cognition s2 1.20 on my galaxy s2, and it works fine. But I still have the 'delay before screen on' bug that I've faced from day 1 with this phone. Does this mean i have a defective piece? Is there some configuration that can fix this.

Also, SGS2 has swype 2 built in. I used swype 3 shortly on my milestone before switching to s2, and it was much better than swype 2. So any possibility of including swype 3 in the next release of cognition s2?

Or is there a way for me to update myself. It have the beta invite, but apparently I'm not allowed to replace a bundled app.

Thanks,

Rohan

I flash ROMs to have the best possible experience with my phone, not only to have a smooth stock browser. It's just a part of the whole thing.

Maybe that's a matter of principals : to me a custom ROM has to offer more than a stock one but for now it's not the case.

Still I repeat that DG's doing a great job with this ROM and that's why I'm following it. I just hope that someday every browser (not just the stock one) can be HW accelerated on deodexed ROMs.

AP Mobile

First of all, great job on this rom. It is running very smoothly for me, but as I am new to the android scene I have two problems I was wondering if anyone here had any experience on.

1) Does anyone know how to get the Samsung AP Mobile widget back? I have no idea where to start on this, I can't find it in the excluded widgets list or my personal backup. (I'm on Bell Mobility in Canada and the one included with the default rom is much better than what is available on the market place - visually speaking).

2) Does anyone have luck using Tasker to toggle GPS on this rom? I can't seem to be able to do it, regardless of what I do.

I have tried:

* Moving tasker to the /system/app directory

* Clearing Dalvlink-cache (i think thats how you spell it...)

* Clearing tasker's directory in /sdcards as well as its /data/data/net...tasker/ directory.

* "Use wireless networks" in Location and security settings is checked
