The clue is in your post
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
It seems that we have to wait for some modding from DG, as AT&T has different button layout...

(was mentioned in the post right before yours..........)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thanksgiving60:
Confirmed we are all abandoned by dg
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
No we're not! Read a edit few posts above yours by SergioA.

DG just needs to do a few mods, give him time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OrrPenn18:
Dont spread crap news!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] clavicle:
:D

No I am going by dgs post, he said the rom can be used on our sgs2 too.

btw, I downloaded and am using it now, can make calls, but only drawback it gets connected at 3g mode only, data switch cannot be toggled..

CWM doesn't install any kernels!

Comes with new stuff, but may not be of much interest for us. No FM radio apk.

Still digging deep!:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
Don't think so :confused: and please be patient :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
It's clear that it needs some time to be adjusted!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gladiac:
There it goes: Cognition X2 Beta 1

FYI: People are testing how well it runs on the normal S2. Everybody calm down...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
Old news.....

Already posted one page before.................
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
It's quite obvious that dg will be busy for a while making the at&t version of this ROM "stable" and fully featured (just because he has that handset rght now).

When he'll reach a stage of readiness for the at&t version he'll be able to start porting it to our international version, I suppose.

So we'll have to wait a little bit, I think, but luckily we have a great ROM version to sleep with.

Isn't usability our goal after all? 1.5.1 is fully usable, to me of course!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Amen...Just go away for a few days and come back. Why flash an incomplete version for another device? This ROM is running so well. No senses in mucking it up until an out of beta release which I expect in about a week or two after a few beta tries.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
It seems to me that you completely misunderstood my point... I was quite confident I was writing in plain english...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gustopher:
Errrm...I think you are both violently agreeing here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donkeyhitman:
LOL...I'm curious to know what was your point that tbong777 had "completely" misunderstood.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Um yeah...me too.....;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Schmich:
I have problems with the "ad blocking via hosts file" as some sites that I visit detects this. Whilst searching for a solution to disable it I saw other people who had the same issue.

So the way I found to disable this is to rename the hosts file. It is located in /system/etc and is called "hosts". You need a file manager with superuser permission to rename such as the app "Root Explorer". I'm sure are free ones but I had already paid this one.

Anyway, I just renamed it to "hosts_backup" in case I want to enable it back in the future. Now I get ads again...yay :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dashingpc:
Is it nearly a dead thread??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
You must be stupid...? Haven't you read? Nope.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
I for sure don't want to fight or flame. It's not my idea of forum-living expecially here on xda, a place that I belove for the sake of the help it gives to all of us and filled with nice and smart people.

But you asked, I will answer.

If Batman states: - wait a minute, let mr. Green Goblin the time to work on his actual project so to have it "finished". He will port those results on his "old" project as soon as possible (I hope); today we can live well with what we have (1.5.1) - and Superman replies to him - Oh my friend listen to me don't speak from the Chair, get out of here for some time and do not bother people around because this new software you are telling us of is unfinished and unstable; what we have runs just better. - then I think S-man completely missed the point B-man was speaking of, just because they said almost the same thing and there was no need to send his friend from Gotham to merry-go-round so rudely.

Maybe I missed HIS point and not the contrary, in this case "peace and love from the British-Caribbeans".
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sagy101:
lol man what an explanation :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] donkeyhitman:
This scenario is impossible because Batman is a good guy and Mr. Green Goblin is a BAD dude. They wouldn't be cooperating with one another. ;)

And yes, you did miss Superman's point. He started with "Amen" which means he agreed with your comment whole heartedly. When he said "go away", he was referring to others (not you). It's just funny that you would insult him with your "plain English" statement when he was clearly supporting you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
Yes, I knew that story... it broke my heart when I discovered that Green Goblin turned the bad way... when he was a kid we were in the same school and he was very kind with us, he almost died to save my lunch from falling from my desk!

"Amen" sounded to me like "ipse dixit" and it wasn't pleasant, just like reading that "go away" (I felt almost like a lonely dog, battered and rejected from my family... just kidding uh!).

Anyway it turned out that I misunderstood him (but in the end let me say that my english was really plain!!!), so let's pass on, all stronger than ever and let's see how good our beloved Cognition_S2 will be in the next days.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beavisrp:
Ok so i am constantly getting freezes while using media apps. Eg youtube . The phone hangs for 2-3 minutes and then it hot re-boots. Anyone else having this issue ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LesterC:
is this rom non-wipe?

As in my data (text,contacts,calender,apps) will still be there after i flash it? I am currently running Litening
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Elythor:
Going from one ROM to another it is best to do a full wipe anyway. Lightning and Cognition is different enough that there may be incompatibilities.

For contacts/calender...everything is synced to your Google account so you don't need to worry. Apps can be backed-up by Titanium (do user app+data only, don't backup system app+data)

SMS backup can be done reliably by SMS Backup+...free from Market.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPhilo:
So after designgears finishes the Cognition on the AT&T SGS2, he'll start re-updating this ROM right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caanda45:
I think not, but time will tell. It has been weeks since anything was done to this rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donkeyhitman:
The answer is YES if we go by DG's words:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Bingo!!! AMEN meant I agree....... So we can all go away and come back when we have the the finished ROM becasue we have a GREAT ROM in 1.5.1 while we wait.... You understood what Batman did not...I thought my English was pretty darn good too!! LOL

Oh well. ITs all good.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caanda45:
I stand corrected and I am very happy that we will have a universal rom...bring on the Americans for a number of reasons!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kwankl:
Hope the rom will not be based on AT&T version...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Why not? Either way there will be no bloatware and the devices are pretty much the same except for the button and NFC. For those wanting NFC they probably would love the ATT version if it can be ported to their devices.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kwankl:
AT&T rom may have slower update pace. e.g. 2.3.5 vs 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
Wow you said it man: I won; B-man lost!!!

So it all comes down to this: we both write in a badass english! :P

Back in topic, I would love to have the choice between standard ROM and at&t ROM (maybe with the option to buy that us battery that sports nfc), but I understand this would imply that an "amateur work" (if you dare call it that way) would turn in a "full-time work" to mantain two different versions of Cognition. So whatever this ROM will become I will be happy to have it on my phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
:D:D

DG has worked on as much as three ROMS at a time before for different FW versions of the Captivate He was developing Froyo, Gingerbread and the Motorola ROMS at the same time. I think he can handle a couple of VERY similar ROMs. He abandoned the I9000 version of GB though for the Captivate so he could very well do the same for this device. Anyone here in the US could get good money for their SGS II and buy the US version. The thing is $150 more than I paid for mine at NewEgg!!! It seems to have gone up with the local releases.

If he stopped developing today for the International version I would be fine on this ROM for the next 18 months or until someone releases something where the lst few pages of the thread are not spotted with like issues.......

None of the long time better and most followed developers have ever been decribed as "amateur" LOL These guys have established themselves to do a better job than Samsung Employees which is why we are here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thanksgiving60:
have we not been abandoned already? lol :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
I don't think so. A few weeks between releases is a GOOD thing. Some of us actually don't care to flash every week. Especially if the ROM we are using is working very well.

But there is no shortage of custom ROMS for this device flash addicts can try out in the interim and daily updates to go with as well...Fun? Plus people are saying good things about the latest stock drop with CF Root. I would rather wait and see. But I understand the intensity to want the bleeding edge. I did that early on the CAPTIVATE. But that device has more intrinsic issues than this one. Read DGS X2 Beta thread on the ATT forum and you will see what may be coming next here. Its not completed yet. I decided no more "betas" I wait for the first non beta release. I don;t like flashing constantly.

Unlike many I roll my eyes :rolleyes: when an update comes within a few days or a week after a major release. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] steve_clifton:
Slightly off topic(completely actually) I hope we get some ice cream sandwich on the sgs2, look forward to some custom roms of that,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] spradling:
Ice Cream Sandwich Launcher (apk) is available, search for it on XDA.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Hello my dev bros! I mentioned in a previous post that it would be cool if we could take the AT&T SGS2 battery and use it in ours so we could have the nfc chip... 2 things though, we would need the driver for it, and, would it fit? (The AT&T model is *slightly* thicker, some thought due to the nfc battery). Well, today I had a client come into my mobile device shop and he had the AT&T sgs2... I asked if I could try his battery out and sure enough, it fit like a glove! Perfect! So now were just down to needing the driver... DG? You hearing me bud? Samsung has them on their website for $39.99 but they're sold out... Amazon has them for $23 with matching numbers and the pic had NFC on it so I pulled the trigger... be careful though, some of the vendors are selling the i9100 as the i777 so be specific in your search. I understand that not everybody wants this feature, but for those of you who do, there you go!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lambstone:
I thought that it was established that the NFC does not lie in the battery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Nope, not established. Definitely in the battery.... unless I'm missing something here... there is "Near Field Communication" printed directly on it.. I'd say that means its in it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
I believe the FCC makes you print that stuff on the device... if it was in the phone it would be printed on the sticker in the phone... they sale the battery seperate, therefore its printed on the battery. I have one coming in the next 3 days so I will be able to confirm if it is or isn't then... do you have a link to where it was quoted as not being in the battery? To be honest, besides random people on xda or whatever, every reputable source of mine states it being in he battery... but its ALL hearsay until one is torn apart I suppose. :-) $23... I might do it just to see... (hopefully somebody else will before me though so I don't have to ;-) )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalua1985:
The NFC chip is on the mainboard
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lambstone:
Thanks for that. That's some solid proof (and not to mention actual logic) rather than some words "printed directly" on the battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stony2k:
I asked him via Twitter, but got no answer until now :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
That's fantastic! Thanks for clearing it up. Could you pm where you found that or post the link on here? I have looked EVERYWHERE for that over the last week and can't find anything. It will be huge! In my line of work, it can save me a bunch of trouble.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalua1985:
I copied it out of a Service bulletin. It's just a bulletin that shows the difference and warns you to not mix up the software, because it will not work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Hey man, its not a pissing contest... my mission was not to prove somebody right or wrong, but to find the truth... its logical to assume the chip is inside the device that states its inside of... your "average consumer" doesn't understand that concept I guess but it is VERY unusual for a wireless tag to be anywhere except directly on the object with the wireless chip is installed... go back and look at all your gadgets, I'm willing to bet you don't find another wireless tag on *anything* that doesn't actually have the chip inside of it... anyway, cleared up now. I really could use that diagram and the source if you have a link to it as well....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Are you an AT&T or Samsung employee? Where did the service bulletin come from? *confused*
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Um, are you a Samsung or AT&T employee? How did you get this service bulletin? Im not doubting you personally, but a pic from some random bulletin that goes against every wireless safety code I have ever known may be a little off... (I can't see the pic by the way, its a blurry mess on my phone)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
I double posted, sorry.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
I got a clear look at the pic, pretty solid looking... a credible source would still be much appreciated. And let me really push this, I'm not doubting you personally, IV seen stuff like this many times that didn't make it to market at the last minute... like diagrams of the SD slot on the galaxy tab... we all know how that went. I'm sure its authintic though, I would just like to study up on it myself.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalua1985:
Here's the link http://www.multiupload.com/04BQYT653Y
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Wow man! Thank you sooo much! That is fantastic! I meant no disrespect and I hope I didn't come across like that. If IV learned one thing in he mobile device/Mac business, its to dig deep to get the facts. This will come in very handy for me, I really appreciate it!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Hit the thanks buttonwhen you have time ;-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
He likely will be putting his emphasis on the ATT version as he did the Captivate. No real reason to keep this one updated if he doesn't have the phone anymore. But time will tell, After a look around I cannot see using any other ROM for awhile even if this doesn't get updated.

I'm guessing a lot of Cog users will be dropping off and flashing other developers more centric I9000 ROMs soon and DG will slowly bow out as he did the Captivate. can't blame him. he has ATT as do many others. Its a new and excited source of flashers. I would sell the i9000 and get the ATT version if I wanted to pay $30 for 2GB of data now that its out for $549.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yaronAD:
People : what should be the build no. in the "about" menu ?

I flashed the 1.5.1 cong. version

and it wrote me cognition 1.5 ? is it normal ?

(never actually had the 1.5 version)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
Cognition v1.5.1

Sent from Tortola with my heavenly GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
No mate, I'm a different user. But it was meant as it was posted.

Wasn't meant to infer anything else, But to hit the thanks button of the helpful user. If you have the time.....

By the way, The premium XDA app has a "thanks" button.

Cheers :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ouija147:
I didn't know you could thank from the app...been meaning to buy the premium app for a while, thanks for giving me the final push :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] method77:
can we please talk about the ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donkeyhitman:
Other than the fact that Cognition 1.5.1 isn't 2.3.5, there are no bugs to report.:p

There's only so much that we can praise about this perfect rom. Anyone with installation problems can just refer to first couple of posts. We're only trolling just to keep this thread in the forefront and not have it relegated to God for bid...page 3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Nothing much to talk about.....

Ummm It works......

When there are no issues and/or bugs to deal with and devs stop posting in their threads, people get restless and the threads tend to go into various directions of wishing and hoping.... That is a sign the ROM is stable in it's current state which is a good thing.

If you keep up with his ATT beta you will understand it will be awhile before this gets updated. That ROM is still being developed and worked out. I certainly would not flash an I9000 version of it yet.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JesseK:
I probably should have asked prior to flashing, but does this work on AT&T? :rofl:

Phone works, but no internet. Assuming this rom was made for a GSM GS2? Bought mine unlocked, so when I read about this dude moving to an AT&T specific version, I didn't think much of it...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
Wrong version mate, use cognition x on the at&t sgs2 section. :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JesseK:
:rofl:

didn't know we had multiple SG2 sections. :doh:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
There's always been even from the original sgs. Blame American carriers for wanting to tweak phones to their liking!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crachel:
are you saying you have the international I9100? If so, you need to either manually add the old Cingular APN settings because the ones that come down by default are for if your account has the appropriate credentials or call AT&T and tell them you need your account upgraded

if you have the GS2 purchased from the carrier, yeah, wrong forum
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caanda45:
Guys this is in DG`s signature.....in the american Galaxy SII thread, the I777 for AT&T...(I bolded and underlined he SGSII)

I think this rom is toasted!!!!! IMHO...damn.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jankhner:
but this rom is already as good as it gets. so i don't really care. I'm very happy with this and i have time to wait for the Ice cream Sandwitch.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
This rom is exactly what I need (especially with Kjay addon). Stable, next to no fc, quick, blah, blah, blah.

In short, I'll soon be heading away for 4 weeks, and a rom without issues is what you need. Looking forward to seeing what DG has in store when I return, possibly the AT&T and all his goodies ported over by then.

Cheers DG.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cfhuk:
Shame if DG abandons the ROM but I don't think he will. The American GSII is verging on identical to the international version, and DG has already said he will be making a hybrid ROM that accommodates both handsets, so don't declare it dead yet. If DG is in America he can get a lot of cash for an international model, and may have needed to in order to afford the American one.

Don't declare the ROM dead yet, he still has a Samsung GSII, just with a slightly different model number.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
This has been the trend time and time again... if you haven't noticed, DG doesn't make unnecessary posts... he's watching and knows we are all still here. He said he was going to make a hybrid version therefore he is going to make a hybrid version. From all IV seen on here, DG is a stand-up guy. If for some reason he decides not to continue on this ROM he would let us know. As for the i9100 being in his graveyard, he doesn't have hands on the i9100 and we have all known that the entire time... that's just a fact. It means nothing in terms of his development for the rom. Either way it goes, when he's ready he will let us know. All this speculation is in vein... we do have the very best rom to date after all!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
Seriously you guys are just posting a bunch of useless posts. DG said himself that he would keep developing for the international GSII and you guys are basically questioning/doubting him. I mean god damn, give the guy a break. If he wants to develop for the AT&T version, THEN LET HIM BE! He doesn't owe us anything and he has already given us a great rom for our phones. Seriously people, the dumb posts need to stop and you guys need to be patient and happy with what you have (or switch to another rom and stop *****ing!).

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
For those who cannot wait for a final ATT version to be ported over and (judging from the thread on the ATT side of things, its going to be awhile) , you might take a look at LeoMar75 Rom Revolution ROM. A workmate of mine flashed it it and I was amazed at the options the onboard kitchen gives him. A great ROM for tinkerers who want a complete kitchen apk on their device to flash all the available themes, all available Kernals, customizations, Jkay's stuff, modems on and on from the kitchen Apk. Tempting.

I'm ok with Cog and KloNne for now. But that thing looks pretty good and like this ROM is heavily followed. At least of DG des slow this thing to a crawl there are more active options for the i9000.
