I applied the mms background fix, which worked, thank you.

However, i now get an error message "error reading data from the hardware interface" on every restart.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Very slow recharging for me. Using Mains charger. Grey b2b, latest siyah kernel.

About 15% an hour
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SamungGalaxyS2:
Same here - I'm getting the same results!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lumsdoni:
Me too. Thought it was just because it was a smartphone but then I see loads of people talking about 20 hours plus.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SamungGalaxyS2:
I thought the same as well, but others are also getting 24 hours?!!?

Are you currently on GreyFox V2 with SiyahKernel v3.2b4?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lordmorgul:
Just flashed the ROM, so far loving it, I just have one weird issue. When I first rebooted after flashing, I connected to my WiFi. Everything was working fine, syncing with the Google account & whatnot. So, as per the instructions, I rebooted to Recovery, wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache and did the final reboot. After that the network stopped working (both WiFi & 3G), or so I thought. After failing to connect to any website or update my weather, I decided to try and visit a website via it's IP – just to be sure. And it worked for me! So, is it possible my DNS settings got flushed somehow? How can I restore them? Or fix it in any other way, if I'm wrong about it.

And again, thanks for the great ROM, really appreciate your work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] go.george:
OK, you talk about 20-24 hours of standby, or 20-24 hours of phone being awake??? In standby (idle-sleep mode) my battery lasts three days approximately... Below two days it means that something eats your energy. For me it was the background services that run, like location service of google, social hub apps (mainly of samsung), updaters (I even have frozen foxhound updater) and many other services that are completely useless....

Google location service along with gps consume too much power, even in standby mode... In addition take care that turning off data or wifi when idle, that may even cause worse problems, like email apps that try continuously to reconnect and eventually the phone never sleeps. In addition, energy save applications are a bull****; and again do not allow the phone to enter its sleep mode, which accordingly enables it to save a huge amount of power. Had paid for Juicedefender and in the beginning it seemed to be working, but after a lot of usage my experience proved the opposite. That is, when a force your phone to sleep something else will make it wake up.

Now, if you mean that when your phone is awake and its screen on the battery drains too quick then it is your screen guys... The screen of S2 consumes too much energy if the brightness is set above 30-40% not to mention what happens if it is above 70-80%. It is ridiculous, I know, because a lot of us when saw the screen of S2 in stores we considered it as a very big advantage of the specific device. However, if we set the brightness at 100% (as in stores) the battery won't last too long... Here is a tip by me;). I have set the brightness at 30% and because the colors look dull in picture mode I select dynamic. That makes a great difference because I recover the lost color vibrance because of the low brightness. However because under sun it is difficult to read the screen I use the brightness toggle from the statusbar that our rom allows to have.

Edit: I forgot to mention that at a low brightness setting, the dynamic mode (in display settings) does not cause over-saturated colous in the image that you see.

Too bad this Rom is very fast and lag free .

GreyFox V2 has been fast stable and great!

Developer Error:

- No SuperSU (Chainfire) for ICS pre-installed (download it from Play Store) This is a must have app!

All those who wanna fine tune their battery + performance (DONT USE THE Performance... option in settings, rather use Voltage Control) and follow this link: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466017
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tenchi0205:
do we need SuperSU ? cos I got SU v3.0.3.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jibreil:
Yes it's recommended. Most of the apps need it. If you run Titanium Backup 5, it tells you there is some error in the binary access of root - it will also provide an option to fix the issue.

But if you install SuperSU, Titanium Backup will not find any errors in the root.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] prommindh:
No.. you don't need SuperSU app as ROM came with latest Superuser 3.0.3.2 and IMHO it's working well with all apps

Side note: Raff used to install SuperSU in, if I'm not mistaken, 2 of his ICS's previous roms but didn't work well so he replaced back Superuser ever since.

Edit: there was some binary error when using TB but once updated all back in good working conditions.

Abyss ICS Kernel v2.6 Stable

This is released and can be downloaded

HERE

I recommend you update your N.E.A.K. on Grey Fox v2 to this kernel...

It will fix most of the bugs you're experiencing.

It's also super-fast... Measurably faster than Siyah on my tests.

The only drawback is the super-ugly bootscreen :D

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Nice to see you prommindh! whereya been for the past few weeks?

Maps was still misbehaving for me on GreyFox v2 before I returned to PsychoMantis v2

Did you notice this and manage to fix the issue?

I had a quick play but nothing worked on first attempt and I needed the phone for other stuff so I restored PMv2

Yes, the Superuser app that comes default with this ROM works perfectly well.

It's certainly not a "developer error"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] prommindh:
Good to be back here too buddy... been extremely busy with works but keep reading :)

I skipped the factory reset only wiped cache/dalvik before flashed GF V2 on top, fortunately all went well with no issues :D

Did you try remove maps from system folder and re-install via play store? normally I have to use maketenabler, due to country limitation, to find google maps via search menu or scroll through top free app list and uninstall/reinstall.. it should back to work as normal.. :)

Edit: @Aprilia.. it can be integrated to the ROM if you have TB Pro if not just leave the app as user app FYI
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jibreil:
Can we apply Voltage Control on this kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] prommindh:
Hi JB, do you mean Abyss? if yes then YES :p you can apply VC on this kernel.

If NEAK then you need NEAK Configurator Pro (paid app) to handle

I'm currently on Siyah latest kernel (3.2b4) due to duo-booting and other advance features, so far so good :D

It's more for GreyFox users... I'm running PsychoMantis V2

If you find a working fix, please post it here Prommindh.

I need my phone for stuff at the moment so cannot test with GreyFox.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] go.george:
HI, what is the modem? I think it is a part of the kernel right? And it is responsible for the connections... However I cannot understand if it is also distributed apart from the kernels and why there are some many different versions. I did a short research but could not clarify some things...

For example I use Abyss 2.6 kernel, what is the modem in this kernel? Can I change only the modem and that will not affect the rom-kernel? Different providers require different modems? And finally there are three main releases: rom-kernel and modem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jellywobbles:
Would the Abyss kernel benefit PsychoMantis v2?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] go.george:

raff are u working on a v3?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
The modem generally comes bundled with the ROM and is not part of the kernel.

GreyFox comes with BULP6 modem which is very popular but NELP2 is also highly regarded.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gowind:
Hey buddy which kernel are you using.

@Gorran.

Bro if I odex the entire apps then I guess all my market apps will also be odexed. So the next time when titanium backup does an auto backup it will keep the new odexed apps. So my question is, at a later stage with a different version of rom, when I restore the apps through TB, will there be chances of crashes due to the odex deodex mix up.

1.) I am coming from Stock KG6. I have a back up(using titanium backup) of all my apps. Can i restore these apps(using titanium backup) in Batista 3.7. Does it work that way???

2.) Your two versions WIPE and No WIPE if i install your NO WIPE version over KG6 does it WIPE everything ???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] agsel:
Holy ****

I could of course just push the Thanks button but oh my, this is a gorgeous ROM!

The first custom ROM i put on the S2 was Oxygen because I loved it from my Desire. Realizing it was holding my S2 back I instead tried out Cognition and thought things couldn't get better. It seemed the perfect ROM.

But out of curiosity I just flashed Batista, though I wasn't particularly impressed by the screenshots and it blew my mind. The boot animation, the screen animations, the UI mods, it's just beautiful!

So thank you so much, you made my day and you made my S2 look and feel as beautiful as it's specs sheet.

Absolute world class work.

Latest greyfox v2 + Siyah kernel 3,2b4, undervolted gpu and cpu ... max 1,100 mhz of cpu. I think that's a great result with more than 3 hours of display on.

wi-fi always on with autosync on... 60 sms, many other with what's up and a call of 6 minutes!

Stock battery.

EDIT: Auto-rotation disabled... i remembered that ita was a bug on my ex g.nexus with 4.0.3 that caused a lot of battery drain.

After updating you should choose Abyss or Siyah kernel, both kernels are good.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

You can flash the kernel cleaning script but I feel just clearing cache and dalvik cache is probably sufficient.

The mod to remove SMS from Call Log caused issues in other apps so it was removed.

Hopefully there will be a fix for it sometime soon.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jibreil:
@ApriliaM3 The Abyss kernel along with NELP2 should be a part of this ROM in the future releases. Thanks for the suggestion.

Everyone should install the Ultimate Kernel cleaning script prior to flashing the Abyss kernel, whether your coming for NEAK, Siyah or any other.

Can anyone suggestion the best I/O scheduler + Governor combo for a balanced battery + performance?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gowind:
Buddy, I presume you are using the latest abyss kernel.

So I'm gonna pester you with a few questions. What is the governor/scheduler combo you are using. How do you make use of the tweaks in recovery and also do use those 25, 50, 100mhz steps. Do you think they are useful because I remember reading somewhere that using frequencies below 200mhz is an unnecessary taxation to the CPU :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
I simply don't get too involved in it :)

The steps are simply steps, they are not CPU speed limit settings... and I didn't bother to configure any of them for Abyss anyway.

I simply set 1500MHz as Max and 200MHz as minimum in PM2 Performance settings.

I Use OnDemand as my Gov and I bump up the voltage a fraction for the 1500MHz setting only.
