FAQ

How do I enable my phone to connect to Kies?

Disable USB debugging

Setting > Applications > Development > untick Enable USB Debugging

How do I navigate recovery?

Volume buttons are up and down

Power button is back

Home button is select

How do I clear data from recovery?

Select "wipe data/factory reset"

Why don't I see the new download links?

Clear your cache or do a hard refresh (ctrl+r or ctrl+f5)

Is this rom rooted?

YES!

Why is my battery draining so fast?

Testing the rom for less then a day and reporting a battery drain is like sticking your face in a blender and wondering why it hurt. Please calibrate your battery, check your apps usage, etc.

Why is this app not working(FC)?

When updating, tons of things can go wrong, especially with using old data on a new app. If you are getting an FC after updating, clean the cache on the app, if that doesn't work, clear the data. (Settings > Applications, find you app, click the buttons)

Good luck with your ROM, i'd stay up and wait to try it out if i wasn't falling asleep in to my keyboard :)

Thanks for even more devs working on the s2 \o/

I'm using rom manger ota to download. One is full rom and one is update. Which one should o download? Full rom also states wipe does it mean that if use this to load via cwm or rom manager my all data will be gone? I'm on litening rom v1.3 rooted. I don't have PC and would like to try your rom via sgs2. Pls suggest
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
Cognition S2 v1.02 is now LIVE!

Changelog in the op!

You want the Full rom, but you need to only download with rom manager, then reboot with the power options to recovery and manually select the zip to flash.

Only the initial permissions, having issues?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidsavenberg:
Great ROM buddy! Had to say it..

I was just wondering if the Wipe version of this 1.02 version will come up now or tomorrow? If I have to wait or not,

Thnx bud, terrific job and keep it up!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sackynuts:
Im loving this rom, however flash 10.3 doesn't work. Only 10.1?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
Thanks!

I will be uploading it shortly :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidsavenberg:
Yes I though that the ROM thats having the black and white theme was fast.. This ROM is ridiculous fast after using the other ones.. Just great!

Ok thnx bud, Ill wait then.. Im using the v1.01 but I am a freak of getting the wipe and stuff even if I know that it should be fine with just the update :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chris2busy:
Hello..Great rom designgears,very fast and very stable..the batt% icon is really slick too..1 tiny note..if u go to battery usage under settings and hit on cell phone usage it always shows 100% spent without signal..even if signal did not drop at all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
hehe, same here, updates feel dirty!

thanks! Thats kinda odd, I will see what I can do about it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidsavenberg:
Yes!

I can see the Download button now, but it doesnt seem to work!

Maybe its working if Ill just take it easy one minute and let it load properly :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killerjohn:
does anybody know what is the difference (on positive and negative side) between KE7 and KF1? I feel KF1 uses less battery, but maybe just placebo effect.

SO: do you keep KE7 until 2.3.4 arrives?

Too many "awesome ROM" posts, it seems I try this after the full version is uploaded :p

THANK you man!

I seem to have lost root with the update. All root enabled applications are no longer working.

It is really great bud, youll love it! (=
[Galaxy S II Android Development] blue265:
I haven't tried this ROM yet but hoping to try tonight. However, I did want to mention that this is evident on other ROMs as well and not just this one. I think its just a bug in the firmware, sort of like the 50% time without signal bug on the Captivate. For example I am using Litening Rom 1.4 at the moment and time without signal is 100%. I haven't checked stock KF1 or anything but have a feeling it could be the same. Just wanted to let everyone know its not Cognition that causes this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TRAG!C:
Hey guys, I just got the Samsung Car dock. When I dock it the phone shows that its in phone mode with the little steering wheel in the notification bar and the lockscreen goes horizontal (and horribly stretches the pic). When I unlock it it just returns to the normal phone mode but with the Car mode in the notification bar.

I have come from the N1 and I was expecting a Car Home screen to appear. I acquired the car home apk and installed it but it makes no change. Also while I have installed it I can't run it from the apps menu.

Now I never tried the dock before I flashed my phone so I don't know how the standard SGS2 is supposed to behave. Can anyone assist on how I can get car home running on this?

[BUG] Major Battery Drain

Im getting major battery drain with V1.08.

its dropping 1% for every minute the screen is on.

and 1% every 5 minutes it off.

Note: Auto sync, background data are off. Screen is at 25% brightness. Juice defender Ultimate is in use to switch off all radios apart from 2g when the screen is down. Samsung apps notifactions is off.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
Strange, I have been using Widget Locker on this phone for two months now and didn't have the issue from the start. I must have used the workaround without realising it, although all I did was set it up as it's meant to be set up by making sure Homehelper is used properly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] simmps:
In the hour since i posted this the battery has dropped 13% and all its done is sit next to me on my desk.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gurpreet3579:
oh man i will wait for some more time before flashing 1.08.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gurpreet3579:
have you factory reset/ wiped
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robt772000:
One thing I have noticed is that when I use setcpu, 200-1500 ondemand, it gets really hot and sometimes freezes up or reboots. I would have thought that it being ondemand it wouldn't crank up to 1500 that much. I saw it fluctuate between 200-800 most times with stuff happening. I may have frozen on 1500. Don't know why.

All in all a good rom, the best I have yet used.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
Can someone again explain to me why they want to overclock a 1.2ghz phone which already doesn't break sweat with anything you can hit it with?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robt772000:
I come from a Nexus One so its second nature for me to overclock. I am not used to speed oem style and this phone has it. One less thing to worry about not having setcpu.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kevin_seymer:
I was going to flash this, but this scared the **** out off me....how is battery with this rom?!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] terenceleechan:
it's not bad, definitely better than stock battery life for me. right now 16 hours on battery with 61% left... wifi on 80% of the time, some gaming, tweaking, kies air and market downloads
[Galaxy S II Android Development] quakermaas:
There is no guarantee with over clocking, maybe your CPU is not stable at 1500MHz with default voltage.

You would have to test and find out, lock it at 1500MHz and run CPU stress tests.

There is not much need for 1500MHz yet, but I have found, it makes 1080p video recording seem smoother.

Did you use Titanium Backup to restore system data ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kbiz90:
I lose about 5% to 7% of battery overnight with all the battery hogs turned off except GSM voice. In fact, during the day I use Tasker to automate WiFi, mobile data, GPS, Sync, Bluetooth, etc. so I only use them when I need them. I'm very happy with the battery performance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bgx:
How do you toggle GPS??? And is there a way to toggle 2g/3G with tasker on SGS2 ???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kbiz90:
Oops, I did not mean to include GPS. It slipped through the cracks because I rarely use it. However, I use mobile data, WiFi, and Bluetooth all the time and I can completely control those battery hogs.

I'm not sure about this, but I read if you leave GPS turned on it's only actually used if an app needs. Again, I don't toggle GPS much.

How does Cognition control the mobile data? Is it done directly or via APN?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] syklitengutt:
My bad. Seems I had a nomedia file in the music folder. Great battery now. 72% on 8 hours. Wifi 6 gps on, and some 3g 1,5 screen on 1hour music 40 min calls and some gaming.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dinan:
This.

If anything I would underclock it. I'm capping it at 800mhz and it runs just as quickly and can still record/playback 1080p etc. Hell even at 500mhz it seems to chug along just fine. Also you won't have to deal with the thing getting too hot. Even at 1.2ghz it seems to run a bit warmer than they had anticipated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
I still believe the heat issue is overstated. However, it needs to be remembered this is a 1ghz CPU overclocked to 1.2Ghz, something Samsung decided to do when they read about the specs on the upcoming Sensation one would presume.

I also have mine running at 800mhz.

what is more reliable (better) way to backup titanium or cwm
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tampiss:
Hello guys,

anyone has an issue with Chrome to phone connection on this ROM? I have tried many times, yet always get "error connection" message.

Please, could anyone try?

Thank you, tampiss
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bu2askoor:
Hello,

I love this rom, but im having an issue with with calls where they don't connect and freeze. Usually a reboot fixes this issue for a while.

I would appreciate some help.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZVictor:
Well you use CWM to backup you current ROM.

And you use Titanium to backup apps + app data (don't save system data with it)

So the best way is to use both ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lemondroid:

The download link is broken or so,

I am getting download speed of 1k and my friend got the same issue.

anyone has an issue with sound volume setting and brightness settings?

what is the reason to backup rom, if i can flash it trough cwm?

i thought that backing up trough cwm will save rom plus my settings plus my apps with data.

sorry but how to remove a CRT effect in this rom ? It really don't like this effect.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hunteres:
settings-->display-->animation-->No animations

easy as that mate.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
You can freeze samsung apk with titanium backup, if you don't needed
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j3di:
When you backup your ROM you are taking a snapshot of it at that time, settings, apps, sms messages, call logs, everything!

If things go wrong later, you know that by restoring your latest backup that you will go back to that same point in time as it was saved.

However, if you just flash a ROM through CWM you wipe all the data and have a fresh install to start from.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] justbenice:
Hi

I know that but it also disable all of other effect that i like. Are there any another way to disable CRT effect ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eddiemc:
Install "spare parts +" and set window animations to fast..

All your animations should be kept intact, but you loose crt:-)

Hi,

is there a chance of KF3 release ??

"(will only base on proper Kies Release)"

because XWKF3 ist released via KIES in Europe
[Galaxy S II Android Development] georgeartaki:
How i can do this?

OK I found it

1. (Close the Market app if it is open. Open the "Setting" icon from the "Applications" menu. Scroll down, then tap on "Applications."

2.Tap "Manage applications." Select the "All" tab and scroll down to select "Market" from the list. Other applications may have similar names, such as the pre-installed "Market Updater," but you only need to change the "Market" app.

3.Tap the "Clear Data" button, then tap "OK." After confirming, the Market history will permanently erase. When you next open the Market application, you will need to re-accept the license agreement and reset any system preferences, as these options erase along with the history data.

This rom is the best i have tested but two things are disapointing me :

- Email app doesn't work, it keeps telling me that I'm not registered on Social Hub.

- Video app : It works well on the first boot, but when the screen turn off, the video would never keep playing, it is stuck at 0:00.

I hope you can fix these two points because your rom is amazing !

Excellent ROM! Good battery life, great performance, excellent GPS. Beer!

I have a little problem: can not set the wallpaper for Samsung lock - when you try to set the application crashes. Sure detail - but the default setting wallpaper is horrible. Ideally - it would not be possible to somehow lock the Samsung completely remove and return the original Android lock? Although I use the Widget Locker, but they sometimes lock Samsung surfaces, eg warning by Callendar snooze.

The second thing that's probably not a bug ROM, I had it on stock and XWKE2 XXKF2 - the device is slowly waking up often enough, perhaps two seconds from pressing the power button to light up display ...

+ Is there any way to get rid of the CRT effect without shutting down other animations?
