How is the kernel on this rom? I read its ninphetamine kernel...never used it and the thread linked here says its been pulled...

Can I flash another kernel if I would like that after flashing this rom, and if so, wish one is recomended with this rom?!

Thanks alot!

I have made a mod with white overscroll glow , you only need to replace the original framework-res. The Zip comes with a simple guide

Update : This mod only add white overscroll glow and nothing more =D

Dear DesignGears,

Samsung updated the source of SGS2 - maybe it helps somehow ?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unclean009:
I'm lazy. If you do this but without your battery mod it'd be great.

edit: Nevermind. Did it myself.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tallica55:
I think there's no KG2 ninphetamine Kernel out yet, ain't that right?

If so, why don't you go back and use the excellent Kernel you've used before? 1.13 has an unbelievable battery. Running 1.15, the battery life isn'T half as good as with 1.13 ! If 1.20 has the good old kernel (and so an awesome battery life), the HW accelerated browser and the good old bounce back, this would be the best rom ever. Until then, I'm going to use 1.13, and I won't go "back" again to the ninphetamine kernel, because of the low battery life.

Good work for 1.13!! Wish you would stick again to that version ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumbi:
I forgot to tell abut the battery mod :S i will try to add the original one

Update: No more battery mod
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nobnut:
The best thing to do is to post a screenshot with any mod, that way people will see before flashing ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumbi:
No more battery mod only white over scrolling glow

Thank for the tips

Bodge, smodge. I did the 7zip method and it worked. Well, I had to change the default wallpaper and re-add my Google account... and who knows what else is waiting for me, but the main thing is the overscroll glow is now white!

Also, I renamed the charger_connection.ogg and the sound is gone. It's music to my ears!

Thanks so much.

Suspend and event/0 processes

@DG,

First off awesome job on these ROMS. I've got 1.13 installed and have had amazing battery life, which has historically been my biggest complaint on the android platform...I bought you a beer for your efforts a few days ago.

However, over the past 2 days I've notice my battery life, while still far better than any previous ROM ive had, is degrading, mainly because the system suspend and event/0 processes are constantly running between 3-10% each. The funny thing is when charging they drop down to zero with periodic fireups to 1%.

Is this typical? If not, any idea what Android uses these processes for?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
+1 Make it work. DG has never played the "me first out card" but he has been the best and most stable when he does release. Worth waiting a extra few days for. In the mean time flashaholics can try other ROMS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Why is it necessarily to have more than a good day of batterylife under normal use? As long as one doesn't have to ration their use (as in iPhone) and there are tools (like having extra batteries), and Ultimate Juice defender to get better batterylife and one actually sleeps where there is electricity, I don't understand the constant batterylife "issue". Maybe people still have not gotten over those weeks of use with a Nokia 6126. Then want to use even more battery with useless eye candy like overscroll lighting efx.I can understand if the phone was depleting in 5 hours of normal use.

That said. like the Captivate I bought an extra Samsung battery and charger for rare long heavy use plane rides across the country.

Then there is the availability of 3500ma fat batteries...... When functional things are broke I can understand how they affect battery life but even then there are remedies for optimal battery life. The first being remove all numbers from the battery icon.

Can u guys help me test a "fix" for the black squares that ocurr randomly on crt screen off effect?, see my signature and pls report back!....zip files contaons nothing but what is stated at thread, no theme nothing, just one line of an xnl change.....thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unclean009:
Just wanted to throw a heads up to anyone in this thread, this definitely fixed the crt bug when using the power menu for me.

Also, I don't know if this is just sheer quiescence, but the power menu felt laggy for me before and now it no longer does...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
I installed this rom and after 20 min to play with phone, start to be hot on the back, I never had this problem with another rom, also i did`t touch settings in set cpu, anyone else have same issue? could be because of kernel? or should I undevolting? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chris2busy:
nah the previous poster was right on that..android has the worst power managment from most smartphone platforms..and as per your iphone comment, phone 4 can go up to as much as 12 hours screen usage time..i will have an orgasm on my pants if i ever manage to get half of that..5hrs 20 mins was my all time record on this device and the most i gotten out of any android i ever owned..

I want to have my phone the way, so that I can turn it on at 7am in the morning, check some news, facebook etc. Then over the day I don't want to worry about using it too much because at the end of the day I might not have any battery left when I need the phone urgently. So I use the phone in very different ways, meaning navigation, calling, using different apps, browsing the web...and at the end of the day while being on the bus or something I want to watch some funny youtube stuff my friends posted in facebook or listening to music. So when I go to sleep at 1am in the night or something, the phone should still be running.

Seems like high demands, but it is actually quite possible with 1.13, but not with 1.15

I don't care about a few kernel upgrades, an extended power menu (what for...it takes 3seconds more to do each operation yourself!?) or some other stuff like that.

And no, I will NOT carry the power supply unit with me and plug it always off and on when I change a damn room or something. Nor will I carry around a thick and heavy second battery pack I stick on the phone and have something like a stone in my hand.

In my opinion, a smartphone like the S2 is only a luxury good. No one really NEEDS this kind of thing, it's luxury nowadays. But now that I've got it I want to have this comfort and not worry the whole day about my phone. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] D.O.C:
I'm very happy it works. Just wish all bugs where that simple to fix.....lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
One cannot change iphone batteries mid use. Been there done that. I also have the iTouch 4 and when it dies I cannot use it for awhile at all.

So 10 hours of screen time and it's done.... for awhile... a long while. Android gives you over 17 hours of screen time if you have three batteries who will ever need that much screen on time? .

Carry an extra charged battery or two and there is no battery issue. I had 4 for my two Captivates.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] B3311:
You, sir, are easily pleased....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
No one ever needs to carry a power supply around.

An extra battery is not a chore to have around either. In fact, it's a lot more convenient and there is far less mental anguish than worrying about battery life or worse rationing the us of a great and powerful device like iphone users who don't have the luxury of being able to switch out a battery for full power in less than 10 seconds.

As posted several times before:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phytrax:
Any way we can get battery mods to work with this?

I tried to install the CF kernel over this ROM then flash a KE7 battery mod and it makes my notification bar go away. If not, then maybe everyone could agree to just use the popular circle battery mod?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] geekaren:
if your phone is already rooted, you don't need to root again.

If your phone is not already rooted then, yes, you need to root phone before flashing rom.

(edited to clarify)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] afx69:
I KNOW !!! But I thought this was only for first time installation, but should work for update?

My ROM Manager problem is that it says CWM is not installed...

But; shouldnt ROM Manager work for OTA afterwards?

I was able to get a battery mod to work.

Edited to provide battery mod link: Based on ragiut1's helpful post here:

Your question is a little confusing. You have the stock ROM plus root? If that is so, you don't need to reinstall root.

To be clear, CWM needs root access in order to work properly.

To be honest, if the new browser is properly accelerated with less checkerboards, i could care less about overscroll and screen off animation..functionality over eye candy all the way..we got craptons of solely themed roms here, this 1 is infamous for being functional and close to stock.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Artius89:

overscroll it's very little important. Maybe the bigger loss is the extended power menu, but the overscroll is pretty useless (infact i prefer the bounce one).

as long as it has nothing to do with hard coding ntp server in (/system/etc/gps.cong). for eg put Europe ntp

that makes the gps even slower for people not in uk and the faster fix app doesn't seem to work on the modified version.

i came across some roms which have put (hard coded) Europe ntp in the gps.cong file and i had a lot of problems getting gps to work. faster fix didn't work. and yeah i could have edited the file manually but it deficits the purpose.( roms should be universal) so i changed to this rom as it does not have that :)

happy so far :)

I believe he is referring to the original mod where DG had it set so page 4 of TW was the default home page, i.e. when you press home it would go to 4 rather than 1... This feature was lost with 2.3.4 as DG's method no longer works...

Hoping it will come back too...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
As above I'm hoping DG can find a new method for doing this too... Would +1 it but I know its already on the 'To Do' list so it will come if a new method can be found...

Does the newest release have extra input languages in Swype? I need Finnish (Suomi) in Swype and I thought it's better to ask before flashing. Seems like the extra languages disappeared from all roms @KE7 and currently I've been using VillainRom 2.0 that has the option to install them on VillainTweaks but I thought I'd try something else for a change.

So if anyone could check if "Suomi" or "Finnish" is available in swype input setting on the newest rom I'd appreaciate it :)

You can edit you gps.config file yourself, it's in /etc.

There's a fair bit about it around the middle of lightning's thread if I don't remember wrong, basically you just add your own country's servers to the file, and most importantly change the main server to Europe instead of USA.

Here's my settings I normally overwrite with:

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.no.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=1.no.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=2.no.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=3.no.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

First thing I do after a flash is to open gps.config, highlight all text and overwrite with this. Change the 1-4 to match your preferred country. Good luck:-)
