Here's the deal, insanity is a base ie a means to an end. Every update I dl then add the pieces I want, strip a few extra, flash my old reloaded zip and boom done.

Everything works including calendar and contacts sync but my needs are different from yours and I don't want to deal with any crap that you want (no offense) that's why it is a base. It isn't meant to be full featured and if you think it is it isn't meant for you and you've misunderstood nitr8.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nitr8:
:) and i dont use stock calender, i use touchdown so spot on well said....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hausmanis:
Alright understod,but still.is other.people hävning.provs With nitrality app ?

Might try touchdown,thx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nitr8:
I might try stock mail and calender again :p you never know
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hnernes:
I second the problem with installing apps through Nitrality, I haven't tried it for a while, but when I did, it wasn't perfect. I, however, just put all the apps I want into (and remove the ones I don't want from) the insanity release, before flashing (I ususally take them from the latest nigthly, to get the latest version). I have also stripped down GApps to a bare minimum to my needs only, so that I only have what I want on my phone. I have found this method to be both easy and timesaving, so I'll probably keep on doing this.

The Nitrality app is howerver a great app to customize the ROM, so I would hope that the option to install the missing apps will be fixed in later versions of Nitrality.

Nitr8: if you need testers, I'll test whatever you want. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kickassdave:
Yes.. not the only one. I can't get live wallpapers to install. Fails every time.

And on some occasions Nitrality fails to load, only working again after a force close and re-open.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hausmanis:
Alright thx for that reply, then i know its nothing wrong with my phone, since i made sure after reflashing insanity several times and testing the app in several ways, deleting cache, deleting the folder ect ect.

So that app is pretty buggy, not saying it to whine just saying it.

Insanity is a DAMN good rom since 67 and uppwards (was sick nice before in GB aswell) there is no rom that can match it smoothness and batterylife and thats why i keep coming back to it, now since 67 there is almost no FC´s anymore witch made me switch away from it pre 67 so its looking very promising, if the Nitrality app could become more stable that would be pure ownage.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkneill:
My nitrality also doesn't work well but I have buy the premium edition :D it is on sales , just to support. A coke Cola from me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kickassdave:
Am I the only person getting pretty shocking battery drain with usage? Auto brightness on, doesn't seem to matter what kernel I try always the same. Tried clearing media thumbnails but also made no difference.

Device is getting a bit hot even when not doing much with screen on (for example I'm typing and listening to Spotify (offline) right now)...

No bugs as such, just battery drain. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobsgs2:
You should check BetterBatteryStats..running stock CM9 kernel? undervolting will be a good idea..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] B3311:
I think nitrality is bug-ridden rubbish.

I love the ROM, the CM7 version is the quickest I've ever tried. 67 was pd good too. But I have no problem in saying bad things about the app. I'm obviously not alone. I'll test more thoroughly if details are needed, but others seem to have done it already.

Loving the ROM and hating the app are not mutally imcompatible.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kickassdave:
I always do a full wipe, cache wipe, system wipe prior to flashing any rom. Not running stock kernel at the moment but as I said I was using it and it was just as bad. And I'm able to achieve a pretty good undervolt as always and it's the first thing I always do:

1150

1075

1025

925

875

825 (if 100MHz is an option)

And yes, when idle the battery use is brilliant. Soon as I switch the screen on and start using it.... the battery just starts disappearing...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hausmanis:
Im using insanity 68 together with latest siyah kernel and ive got SICK good batterylife and no heat issues.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobsgs2:
Try a different kernel just for compare.. remember that battery scale percentage most of the time doesnt display the correct amount of battery remaining... You can have 4h from 90% to 80% and a day from 40% to 30% just because it's not calibrated..

Did you try a full cycle recharge/discharge? im using siyah atm too try that and report...do a reset chip-gauge before go to sleep while in charge

Widgets, BLN, vibration and stuff like that use lots of battery especially if bad-coded
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kickassdave:
I completely agree with you on all points. Unfortunately your points are not really strengthened in that I flash roms on quite a regular basis and have managed to attain better battery life with numerous other roms. I use 1 widget for calendar display and hate bln so always turn it off. I'm NOT a noob ;)

Just struggling to find out what's draining my battery when not in deep sleep. I'll give betterbatterystats a go. But in the past it didn't help me too much. Thanks for the help anyway.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobsgs2:
Well atm (not tested much) i got 1day12h with 50% of my battery with some drops of mobile networks because of bad signal, obviously a normal use wifi, market, some photos, music about 10 mins, sms and calls (no games as far as i remember)...screen has 1h20min atm..

Assuming a linear problem (it's not) my battery lasts a total of 3 days with 3h40m of screen on.. i'm just using fancywidget(useless) and BLN (which actually allow you to save battery since u can see a notification without turning on the screen but just looking @ blinks).

Let's see your value assuming your voltages <=

1200,1100,1000,950,850 mV with VR and lulzactive (which are drainers)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] enel_:
How many of you with a good battery life have flashed Sammy ICS ROM before flashing insanity?

I've never ever flashed Sammy ICS and I'm curious would it make any difference if I flash Sammy ICS and then insanity.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkneill:
don't worry about battery life , I tried few ics ROM, but fall in love with insanity :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobsgs2:
What u had before insanity doesnt matter... actually the only difference could be the bootloader but as far as we know it has nothing to do with battery..

+1 for nitr8, good screenshots :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] enel_:
Maybe a new radio/modem that comes with the ICS rom would make some difference. Don't know...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nitr8:
Be careful with the new bootloders the break the USB jig, I downgraded my wifes to older bootloaders after she flashed an ICS ROM which contained bootloaders. However if you ask trojan he will beg to differ as he bricked his ;p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobsgs2:
AHAHAHAH ;D:D

Well enel_ radio/modem can be installed separately from rom, this means you can have a KG1 which is GB on ins#68 or having a newer.. your discretion
[Galaxy S II Android Development] enel_:
Yeah I heard about these new bootloaders and because of that I didn't flash anything Sammy ICS related. I think I'm fine with my old GB bootloader and a working usb jig :D. Ooooo sh*t, poor trojan :(

I know that and I'm going to do so, no Sammy ICS flashing :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobsgs2:
I have NEKI2 modem right now which in my country seems the better, you should gather some feedback for yours
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobsgs2:
When will 69 be ready ? :D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkneill:
Before I flash insanity ROM, I flashed Sammy official ics ROM. In that case I have the ics bootloader?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hnernes:
The easiest and safest way to get from stock ROM to Insanity/CM9 is to flash "Ressurection ROM" from the first post of the CM9 general discussions thread (wich contains the correct bootloader):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102

Follow the noob-proof ODIN method (under Instructions). And then flash Insanity and GAPPS from CWM. (remember to remove Vending.apk, googleservicesframework.apk and marketupdater.apk from GAPPS prior to flashing it).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkneill:
first time I got myself into kernel panic mode with build 69 . Make me panic .... Iam the one make the phone panic haha.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] frater:
Coming from checkrom (gingerbread) this was the first ICS I've tried. It looked promising, but when I tried to add my exchange account I was unable to.

After I pressed 'add account', there were no types to choose from.

Of course I did a factory reset.

Did I miss something?

I then flashed wanamlite from which I'm now sending this message. The accounts were working on that one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] frater:
I just reflashed this ICS (this time 69) and am having the same problem.

Did a factory reset with CWM and installed the ics-gapps from which I removed the framework (vending.apk was already gone, is that correct?)

I am now still unable to add an Exchange Account.

Can't even find an email app.

I really need email and hope to know soon how it's solved or I have to reflash again....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eddiemc:
No, vending.apk is not gone in latest gapps!

It's been renamed to.. Ah, it just slipped my mind.. Renamed to something strange anyway. See the changelog at rootzwiki for the exact name and delete that APK too;-)

For exchange you have to go through the insanity app and install email and exchange.. They are not included in this ROM.

Good luck mate

Sent from my mind using telepathy
[Galaxy S II Android Development] frater:
Partially found it!!

I needed to add "email" with the package "nitrality"

Adding "Exchange" gave a "package rejected" message.

I'm now able to add an exchange account, but it doesn't finish the provisioning. It doesn't even contact my server as I can see in the log of the server (Zarafa)

I think I need to add that "Exchange" with "nitrality" first, but I can't because it say "package rejected" each time I try to install it.

It does so with most packages, but not all (I was able to add email)

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

According to this page http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps

it's

phonesky.apk

I will delete that app and load that patched gapps.zip with CWM after a wipe.

But if I still can't add that exchange I'm still %&&^@%

As I said... there's NO communication at all between my server and the phone....

It just waits forever to check the "server settings"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hnernes:
The best way to go is to download CM9 nightly, and then extract the Email.apk and Exchange.apk from system/app (within the nightly) and push it (copy it) to the system/app folder on your device. Remember to change permissions to 644 or fix permissions in CWM.

As for Vending.apk; it is correct that this has been renamed to Phonesky.apk in latest GAPPS, so the three files to remove is: Phonesky.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk and MarketUpdater.apk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] frater:
I went back to Wannamlite (where Exchange worked immediately).

It takes me some time before I have everything setup as I want it even though ActiveSync & Titanium Backup helps me.

I will probably wait a while before I reflash as I also want to use my phone.

I'm not at all satisfied with wanamlite... It depletes my battery within 4 hours, so I will probably reflash as soon as I see an alternative.

I wasn't even satisfied with Checkrom... That one even lasted 10 hours.

I might try that procedure when I have time and fast Internet.

Thank you for these tips.

Maybe the OP sees this message and he knows what's wrong.

Why is the email-app excluded anyway?

Isn't it one of the basic things you want to do on a smartphone?

ActiveSync/Exchange is (alas) the only multiplatform protocol that supports mail / contacts and agenda. I'm not that keen on Microsoft and that's why I'm running Opensource Zarafa on Linux which provides Activesync.

BTW....

Does anyone know how to get the Activesync provisioning changed in Android or CM9?

In other words... How open is this opensource?

The provisioning has been enhanced since Exchange 2007 (before Android) and they are still not supporting it. iPhone doesn't do any better nor did Windows Mobile 6.5, but still....

The enhanced provisioning makes use of an "SRV DNS-record" which describes the server address it needs to connect to. No SRV-record is queried by Android.

I'm not a Java programmer, but I saw the source and it was clear there were a lot of steps missing. A shame really. I even mailed to author of that program (Marc Blank) but never got any reply.

Probably marketing strategy for which we have to suffer (again and again) :(

http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/A.../com/android/exchange/EasSyncService.java.htm
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hnernes:
Insanity is what insaity is, because Nitr8 wants it to be like this. The things that is taken out is because he does not use them, and therefore does not need them to be in his ROM, you and all of us who may have other preferences need to tweak the ROM to our liking i.e. adding mail and exchange. I personally use gmail, so I do not need exchange, but adds gmail instead, and my mailing needs are satisfied.

> Openvpn binary fully compatible with Android ICS API (android_external_openvpn)

This is greatly appreciated, because this did not work on the last GB release.

How does the speed of CM69 compare with the last GB Insanity release?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkneill:
i get myself into kernel panic mode many time with build69.

maybe i will revert back to build68.

I can't seem to get some of my basic applications to install on the latest insanity 69. like Foursquare, Facebook... etc... in Goole Play Store on the browser it say's incompatible with your phone... any ideas???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aDEO:
Hello,

1. Change your screen DPI to 240.

2. Clear the cache of Google play application

3. Instal what you want

4. Revert back your DPI

5. Perform step 2 again

Regards,

aDEO
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hnernes:
No, this is not the way to go.

You need to reflash insanity and GAPPS (use gapps from 20120317, because the latest gapps will delete your vending.apk), but prior to flashing GAPPS remove vending.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk and MarketUpdater.apk. This will make all apps compatible in market with the default 182 dpi in insanity.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dioser:
Boom and there it was!! :D

Fast as his rom indeed!!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] nitr8:
You can try without a wipe :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nitr8:
All,

Apps removed are all in nitrality. So no need to add them back before you flash.

install rom

config wifi

launch nitrality

add missing apps

Swype necessary?

Hi,

I was wondering whether its possible to use another input method than Swype.

To be honest I dont like Swype at all!

So any way to change the input method?? I'd like teh normal keyboard (like the basic one from aosp).

Can you help me there guys??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Azax:
I'm using SwiftKeyX from the android market.. I will never go back to Swype.. Swiftkey learns your typing style as well and is pretty good at prediction options.. once installed you choose it as the default keyboard in settings.

Well nitr8, any chance for an update anytime soon? There have been a lot of improvements on CM9 now, and it would be great to get them into insaity also. ;-)

Market has also been updated, is there any chance you could fix the new phonesky.apk for the 182 dpi? I could test it for you if you like.

Anyone has come across the problem not being able to change the volume of the earspeaker during a phone call?

It seems like the volume buttons dont do anything while proximity sensor is on (=black screen while holding phone at ear). But when the screen goes on (e.g. looking at phone or typing smth while still on the call), the volume buttons work.

Is this a bug? Or does anyone have a workaround for this?
