I use the rom with speedmod kernel and it's been about 40 hours with medium usage and i still have 37 percent. So great for me. Btw i've been playing games, making at least about 20 calls, few sms and lot internet :)

Just bought a couple of batteries on eBay that are higher capacity than battery that came with the phone but they are dying faster than stock battery. Should I give them a few cycles of charging before being concerned or should I wipe battery stats while using one of the aftermarket batteries? I'm getting about 15 hours on the stock battery and about 7 on the aftermarket batteries? If I do wipe battery stats, will it affect stock battery too? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
ebay, batteries....

knockoffs will never give you the same performance as oem, regardless of their fake capacities...... but even then, that is super bad in comparison... sometimes, you just get what you pay for :(

the sgsII battery I bought off ebay..... gave me 85% of oem life.... which, was a nice back up.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KLoNe1:
Any more info on this one, kahvitahra?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huwande1acruz:
try this . http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17323802&postcount=5

It is for check's DK rom theme . I test it on my cog 1.5.1 and viola it works ! it is aosp theme . The only difference is the signal bar . It has semi-transfarent notification bar.

BTW, how can i change my signal bar alone ? i want the stock one on cog 1.5.1 . Thanks !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dizzee:
I have a strange issue when using this ROM...

certain sites are laggy over 3g/h... I can do speed tests and I have good connection and can access other sites quickly, as expected.

If I connect to wifi then the slow sites become lightning fast.

When I disconnect from wifi the laggy sites stay fast for a period then slow down again.

I've done some research and it seems to be JavaScript heavy sites.

I really like Cognition with the KLoNe theme.. so if this is fixable would be great. thanks

Decompile systemui.apk. open status_bar.xml ( res - layout )

Change this code

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#ff000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

Change it to this

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

And then in folder drawable-hdpi make file statusbar_background.9.png transparent or what ever you like it.

You are a legend! I'll give it a shot when I wake up :)

So i can flash this as is on Cognition using CWM, and it will all work fine?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PurpleFries:
If you add this into your theme, I will be so happy. Its like the one thing that I have been missing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stony2k:
Can't get this to work, but if anyone has a working theme with a transparent statusbar, please provide me a link :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] astarling10:
Good to know. I wasn't overly concerned by them not getting similar use especially since I only paid $10 shipped for two batteries and a charger. They will get the job done in a pinch for sure.

Do nandroid backup to secure your present rom and YES ! you simply flash it to CWM . :)

Im 95% sure that is how i did that. I can double check it when im at home.

I changed the 2 status_bar items in the status_bar.xml, one at the top.and one at the bottom, I think I missed something somewhere.

Changing DPI renders applications life flash un-updateable in market ? Mine does ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cigaro78:
Can you please detail reproducable steps for this - I'm currently trying to work out how to run this ROM at 192 dpi. So far I found out that there are a lot of quirks that can be worked around, for example using LCD resizer app will lead to the camera.apk to crash but using a manual edit of the build.prop won't. (go figure).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] qvert:
will you move this rom to kh4 as base? :-D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
No...no...no....I hope not.

Kh4 is supposed to be an unfinished rom with quite a few bugs.

Can anybody tell me how to get wireless tethering/wirelss hotspot to work? I have flashed loads of roms and cant seem to get things working. Im back to the latest Cognition and the problem is still there.

Any ideas? Its driving me crazy
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stony2k:
Wireless hotspot works here, doesn't seem to be a rom issue. Maybe your provider has blocked hotspot using?

Did you put a theme on your rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kabilie:
Question about this rom:

flashed the rom a few days ago (actually updated from 1.31 to 1.51) but i just noticed that the "samsung market" is gone on the phone?

and since asphalt 6 is free to download through that place now i wonder, is it deleted in this rom and if yes. is there a way to get it back?

thanks in advanced!

kabilie
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fracmo2000:
Thanks for taking time and replying man, sometimes posts get lost in the sheer volume of folk asking questions!

Hmm, Im in the uk and on O2...I didnt have problems on my HD2 (running android). I tried adding another APN just incase I had picked the wrong settings when originally setting up the rom...still the same.

If anybody on o2 (or otherwise) and describe their setup to get the wireless tether/hotspot working I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Great rom apart from whatever Im doing wrong haha
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
There is nothing wrong with the recovery menu in this rom . I'm guessing you have bits left from your last theme.

You have two options:

1. Wipe cache and particularly dalvik cache and reflash this rom.

2. Wipe cache and dalvik and flash a theme with extended power menu. Try jkays themes. ;)

Any chance we can get a pure black and white keyboard back the new skin is horrible sorry dude, i can't find a pure black one to flash over it any ideas ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
Try flashing KG6 modem, or maybe it's something to do with your APN settings. On AT&T with KG6 I can get up to 8mbps which is really good for my area.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
No such problems here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hunteres:
+1 i never had any issue like that with cognit.

Guys u cant have ultra fast 3g speed living in small village in the montains! come back down to us - to city and check it one more time - joke

so this time check your apn's if they are correct - dont expect loading heavy flash content with 3g within 0.5 sec. and check also your network provider. some off them support only low speed 3g.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huwande1acruz:
Yes, the one that i posted earlier.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kahvitahra:
In kh3 that works with solid statusbar. Transparent only seems to work when you are at lockscreen or in apps. In desktop there is still that black blackground. So something changed since older firmwares.

When you change that statusbar_background.9.png image, remember to correctly add information to it with draw9patch.

Here example of solid statusbar.

designgears,

Flashed your latest Cognition ROM for 1 hour, I was very happy. Excellence.

If you can consider to do one on DXKH2(Cognition S2) which was more suitable for South East Asia people. Keep the good worked you have done.

This is my only Thank with: Confirmation number: 1VS42230762165839

There's a link to the removed apks in the first post.

Personally I use Pure Calendar Widget (Agenda) on my home screen

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.koxx.pure_calendar&feature=search_result

And Business Calendar to manage my calendar

https://market.android.com/details?id=mikado.bizcalpro&feature=search_result

The Pure Widget isn't free but Business Calendar has a free version. Both are well worth the money in my opinion.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] NZgeek:
Others have mentioned the removed APK list in the OP. To install these you need to use something that can write to the /system partition, such as a SuperUser-aware file manager.

If you're not sure what you're doing, and would prefer something that you can flash with CWM, check the link in my siggy. The full-page agenda widget is in my Samsung Widgets package.

If you don't want all of the Samsung widgets, open up the downloaded ZIP file in WinRAR (or whatever you use) and delete the unwanted APKs from the system/app directory inside it. Any APKs left in the package will still install just fine.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

FOTA = firmware over the air.

In theory, this package allows you to download and install firmware updates without needing to connect to a PC via USB. I don't think Samsung have ever pushed out FOTA updates, and even if they do, their servers don't know about Cognition and will never be able to send out an appropriate update.

This pretty much means that the FOTA client is dead weight, which is why it was removed.

Awesome-sauce

Just had to stop by and commend DG here for his awesome work. I'm so glad I followed you over from the Captivate. I had an iPhone 4 a few days ago, and knowing DG was hard at work remaking/porting over Cognition for the SGS2 really sweetened the deal for me. It's like the barber you've been going to for years - gotta follow him wherever he goes.

Now that I've gotten a few problems ironed out (bootloops, no data connection, no SMSs, etc.), I'm really enjoying the phone and the work DG has put into his rom. Oh, and thanks for putting up the removed Samsung apps (especially the widgets)! I thought I was going to have to search all over the internet to find them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NZgeek:
There have been reports from all over the place about bugs in XWKH4. So many so that samfirmware.com refused to put it up for download.
