Also what modem are you all using? :)

Hi,

I have some questions:

How is battery life on this ROM(stock ROM cant have 1 day)

how do i get recovery on this device?

Do i need a standard firmware to flash this or just clockworkmod recovery and everything else doenst matter?

Thank you very much.

I have to download the same twice from the market to be installed :eek:

I have to download things like 3x or more for them to finally install... kind of annoying. Might be a google issue. Try clearing your market cache and see if that helps. Didn't really help me though.

FYI guys, it looks like v1.06 had the BT audio fix applied but still getting frequent drops.

They last about 1-2 seconds and can happen about 2-3 times a minute.

CIF Support

Great ROM! Very stable and everything works.

Just had a question about CIFs support...I downloaded CiFSManager from the Marketplace and I can't seem to get it to work.

Does it require CIFs support in the kernel...think I read that somewhere.

Thanks again for the great rom!

There is alot of different solutions, but dont know how it will work with your ROM.

Maybe include the build.props tweek with the rom if it works to fix the problem.

XXKE4 modem should be used for XXKE7 firmware which this rom uses

Decided to stay with this ROM. It's much more better to have NO lot's of unneded samsung apps.

Problems:

1) It seems that display auto backliht level is working not good. I need to turn off/on screen sometimes to have backlight level at proper level.

2) Not able to install Google Maps via CogsApp
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jastonas:
2) download market enabler and faker a US carrier.

This is general android related and not rom related. Maps is not available for all countries

Hello. Thanx for for a great rom, Thumbs up!

I think the default Samsung DPI is to large, so I changed the DPI to 200. (Using Nitrality)

The issue is that the Touchwiz interface doesnt scale to well, So I have to use Launcher Pro and a modified version of Contacts.apk.

Is it possible to fix the Touchwiz, or is this something you dont agree with?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Techvir:
i have 182 as DPI and use pretty much the same thing

If u dont want to use nitrality , u can just edit the build.prop and put the value u want ( the default is 240 )

Regarding editing TW, its a lot of work.

I tried an expieriment last night... I put a fully charged battery in my phone before i went to bed and turned the phone on but didnt use it. When i woke this morning i was down 40% with the Android OS accounting for 80% of the drain. Im on 1.07. I hope this helps! I love this ROM! Im a cognition man! The battery life is better than it was for me on 1.06 but i have a feeling 1.08 will be the best..... Cant wait!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:

Do you have the Triangle image when you boot up? Know how to get rid of it without using a usb jig or restoring to stock?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mosd:
is it just me or is stock smoother ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nightranger73:
And there won't be unless you want to drain your battery even in standby. The delay is caused by the phone going in deep sleep state where the CPU is completely off (just like hibernate on the PC) except for the wake-lock threads used by apps to turn it on regularly to update their statuses.

You can easily see it activates after some seconds (5 or 10) of screen off when unplugged. If you turn off the screen and then on after only 1 sec or 2 it won't happen and it won't occur even when plugged to power source

That's the reason to not use setcpu profiles for screen off as they could prevent the deep sleep.

In conclusion. That's not a bug but a feature. If you want you can easily disable this installing an app running costsntly on background to keep CPU active but don't blame your battery then if it has a shorter life ;)

same problem:

Android OS is off the roof: about 70%!

i performed a factory reset - installed the ROM without restoring any backups - still having this problem.

using system panel:

"system processes" is using the most battery: about 14%

this consists of: "suspend" and "events/0"

does anyone know what the above are?

can it be related to Modem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nightranger73:
Yes an no. Yes it happens but not as on sgs2 where usb power supply is defined at kernel level. When plugged to usb it receive only 450mAh while on AC it's 650mAh.

These values are software defined in kernel.

This produces paradoxes as using phone in car as a navigation device and it pluggedbin to a dock station will discharge it as the power supplied isn't enough.

Would love to use Cognition 1.07, but I still need Tegrak Overclock more than anything, so I'm staying on 1.05 until combatibility is sorted out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mikarbach:
I have tried a lot of things. ROMs I have tested were: litening-1.4, VR-1.4 and cognition-1.07. Eventually I have decided to use Cognition-1.07, but not because of battery drain. This was in all three ROMs roughly the same. Overnight within 7h I have lost 5-10% battery, which is compared to my htc hero with 1% a lot!

I have tested KE7 and KF2 and after removing all stuff, I really do not use, and cleared the cache and data of maps-app, which was in my case the reason of the huge battery drain in standby, I am now on 1-2% over 7h within standby. :-)

So I will stay with this configuration!

Something is definitely stopping the phone going into 'deep sleep' mode.

Left overnight charging, most of the time it was @200mhz. Odd, no? Or does charging mean that the phone will never go into deep sleep?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] norpan111:
Maybe it was CPUspy keeping the device from falling into deep sleep...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nightranger73:
While charging the phone you don't need the CPU to turn off so you don't have deep sleep. Check battery usage graph and check that phone active is matching the display on.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] nightranger73:
This doesn't affect at all the deep sleep state. It enters this state when phone is in standby and then CPU is turned off leaving only the wake-lock threaded timer active which turns CPU on regularly when apps need to be updated

Sometime rogue apps prevents phone from going into deep sleep thus causing the battery drainage of 5-10% per hour even with screen off... it's the CPU still using power even at 200MHz
