Hello everyone!

I'm trying to replicate touchwiz 4 on my android powered HD2;

i dont use touchwiz 4.5 by Fr4gg0t cause it too unstable for daily use,so what i'm trying to accomplish is a closed imitation of that UI.

Atm i have 2 ways of doing it

1-Using launcher pro plus with it's widgets themed with launcher pro corporate theme (1&2),beautiful widget pro.

cons: there is no way to make the drawer scroll orizzontally

2-using ADW EX,android pro widgets (in simple b&w theme) again beautiful widget and minimal reader pro with sqaured widgets.

cons:it just look not properly..right!

so right to the question:do you guys know any other squared widget that can be "touhwiz 4-like"?is there any way to get a properly spaced) 4 icons dock on adw-ex or lpp?

Hi,

I don't really understand what you actually want. Give me more details and maybe I can help.

As of 4 icons dock, I believe MIUI ROM and Sony Ericsson Home use 4 icons dock (search the forums).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEURONIX:
Hi! :)

I heard a lot of SGS2 users talking about these 2 custom ROMs like Lite'ning and Villain ROMs. Right now I'm using the Lite'ning ROM and I'm pretty happy with it, but I feel taht I need a change you know. So I was thinking to chnage my current rom to Villain ROM, but I don't know if it worth it? I need help to decide myself.

I would like to know which have the best battery life as I usea lot WIFI, internet and games. I focus most on the battery usage and a bit of style system improvements.

So, help me do decide, Lite'ning ROM or Villain ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
I don't even think it's worth rooting this phone right now. It's up to date, it's fast, all as stock...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEURONIX:
With Lite'ning I really improved the battery usage.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
I actually feel that samsung made this phone pretty beastly as is and did a good job on the fw, so i prefer just stock KG6; I do from time to time flash CM7 to see how its running along with its changes. I say either CM7 or Stock samsung is amazing for this phone.

I tried CM7 and VillainROM 2.3/2.4.2 and stock of course. CM7 and Villain are far better, faster and the battery lasts longer :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrabcx:
Don't think there will be much difference in battery life with the use of either one of these ROM themself.

They do use different kernels but you can flash them separately and then use setCPU and underclock / undervoltage and try to improve the battery life slightly that way ....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BurlaMatto:
Also some opengl games (myth defence) don't work well with my old stock rom (KE7). Now with CM7 everything is fine and smooth

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derBeukatt:
I think right now they dont differ that much. First started with Lightning Rom and was pretty happy with it. But some versions were kind of buggy and so I switched to Villain Rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvRS:
For that battery life you obviously turn your phone off when not using it as 2 days with usage is possible as I've experienced and 1 and a bit with heavier use. An easy factor for comparison is if you like stock look and feel then VR is for you as Pulser does nothing to the theme and will always be close to stock or you have Litening which is pre-themed. I personally use VR as the support cannot be beaten and there's no forcing theme's and other bits on you as it comes bare so to speak and gives you VR Tweaks which lets you add only the extra's you want or you can go and just flash the extra's you want from the forums. It's easier to add bits you want then remove the bits you don't especially for the noobs out there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarySnack:
Litening rom for me. I tried Villain but didn't like the stock look of it. That being said, the all blue is a bit much. Looking forward to trying CM7 when it is in a more finished state.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammerman44:
Having tried both I would say battery life was about the same.

I had some problems on my SG2 on VR2.0 when I changed from 1.4 (no reflection on Pulser, just my SG2).

Both are stable, but I personally prefer LR.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
same as this for me. Including waiting for a more stable CM7 to try

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Idle time isn't a measure of battery life, you can get huge battery life with any rom by just not using it.

Screen on and awake time is a better measure.

It seems you can get upto about 7h of screen on time, depending on usage (games will drain quicker), it just depends on how you spread that ontime out.

I went for the ROM and kernel with the most entertaining threads. Not sure there is much else to call between them other than personal preference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Nearly the same for me... Villain/Cognition=Apples/Oranges. And that's no slight on either - they're both good, and asking which is "better" is pure subjectivity.

Chose Revolution because it supports a bugless black theme, and because it's outrageous that LeoMar hasn't got "Recognised developer" status yet.

Kernel - nimphetamine because Hacre is a comic genius and his kernel just works. In that order of preference;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbrereton:
That is awesome battery life! Also does the kernel have a big impact on the battery life and does this depend on what rom you run or can you change it freely? sorry the rookie question, I'm still learning about this side of android.

I just got this phone and man am I happy with it. Although mine came on stock build GINGERBREAD.XWKF3, with kernel 2.6.35-I9100XWKF3-CFXXXXXX. Is this the newest version? I am so confused and want to root but don't know what files to download. I have rooted plenty on the captivate, and even used adb command line on my htc inspire. I feel like a total noob. If it helps I bought this one off amazon and I live in the states.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The Vilainrom uses the Ninphetamine kernel and ninpo the maker of that kernel got over 5 days out of his battery, I have got 2+ days a few times too.

Villainrom + JuiceDefender is very good for battery life, but I am not saying Lite'ning will drain your battery.

The bonus of using Villainrom is you can get the Villainrom Tweaks app to customise your own rom and the comfort of knowing you are on the first ever custom rom for the sgs2 and can be part of a very large community of VR users.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Well yes, its such a shame that people are requesting a real measure of battery life and not just noding and smiling :rolleyes:

Xeuronix, you may not care, (me neither, to be frank:) ), but in fairness you bought up the subject of your battery life, and IMO it's a bit unfair to lash out at people whom are genuinely interested - as opposed to the fake-photoshop-cheat screamers.

Just sayin'.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:

there is no way on gods earth that this phone, being used, will give you a weeks battery life. No matter what rom/kernel you choose to use.

Going to be awesome, apparently everything is working atm, except some HW acceleration stuff, due to chromium having some weird bugs.

IMO I don't see the point of running ChromeOS on an Android device, ChromeOS is essentially just a web browser that runs web apps where as you can do all sorts of things with your Android device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dyskmaster:
It's cause it's awesome :D and chrome os would probably be more web-compliant and you would probably have more luck runing websites that wouldn't normally work on android like, say, a java site, or even hulu

But lets face it, browsing in android is far from perfect, and Linux isnt completely working yet , so this is a great option. If you dont care about it, then simply ignore this post.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
This.

The key to this being widely accepted is how well it performs, such as boot time and loading speed of HTML5 and Flash web pages. Chromebooks are designed to be instant-on devices, and if it still takes a good 45 seconds to boot up on a Transformer, then there's no point to running it over Android.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
Seems more like a Trojan Horse from Google, for when they start issuing subscription fees to use their cloud base services.

Then you'll have to pay them because you've outsourced your PC for a LCD.

Soon enough, you will actually own NOTHING other than the LCD, with everything else being the property of the Cloud provider.

Do you want to become an constant source of income for Google or any company for that matter?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] myamex:
That's just a stupid reason to not use cloud service. Whoever doesn't backup locally is an idiot. People worried about losing files on Google Music/Doc when they start charging doesn't make any sense. Are you going to stop using gmail as well and host your own email server? There are always alternatives on internet.

People have been talking about charging fees for gmail, youtube, facebook...but it never happened.

Guess what, technology evolves. The cost of storage and server will drop lower and lower.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Do you actually read Google's TOS, or does that tin foil hat make you illiterate in addition to being dumb?

Google does not own your data, and they allow you to download it at any time for the purpose of backing up or migrating to another service provider. If you don't like their service, go somewhere else. They will let you do that.

And they won't make you pay subscription fees for the basic services, that's just nuts when you consider how much they make through ad revenue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
Things can change, ad revenues are slowing down.

There was an article regarding the shrinking buying capacity of the middle class due to the American economy, which is where the majority of mass ad revenue comes from. The clout and buying power of the middle class is what has kept so many services on the Internet free. With the power of the middle class waning, we will see a rising trend towards subscription based business models.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Without money to afford paywalls and subscriptions, most of those services will die in favor of piracy and FOSS. Advertising revenue is not directly proportional to sales, as often failing businesses will spend ridiculous amounts on advertising in a last-ditch effort to get more sales.

Google has shown very easily that it can survive a market crash, and this is because advertising-based companies always charge flat rates for their services rather than adjusting their rates on the traditional supply and demand model. Google is no different, and in their case they get paid per click, not per sale. This means they get paid anyway even if another business is failing make sales.

Google is in no immediate danger of being unable to afford its services. If they were, we would know about it long before they decided to change the way their services operate.

This is cool, I just hope hexxeh doesn't bail on the project when he gets his next toy. He left his Luigi project out to die in the sun, kinda killed a lot of CR-48 users who were hoping for some resolution to the BIOS/VPD issue.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hexxeh:
So yeah, I am working on this. Progress is kinda slow and my time I can spend on it is limited since my time is being taken up by paid work at the moment, but I've just dropped £400 on one of these for the sole purpose of porting CrOS too it, so it might take a while, but I'll be damned if there's no decent quality build for it within a couple months

Here's the current state of things.

What works?

Boot from SD/USB

Framebuffer

WiFi

Touchscreen

Dock keyboard

Volume buttons (though they're currently upside down, easily fixed)

What doesn't?

Graphical acceleration (Tegra driver is bug ridden, trying to work around this)

Battery gauge (power_manager needs support for dual batteries adding)

Luigi was taken down because of concerns it was wiping out unique information on the device. There's no negative effect of this, but I removed the tool as a precautionary measure.

I spent weeks looking into ways of rebuilding the VPD, but I couldn't find a way of doing it. However, I've kept an eye on things since then, and there's still no detrimental effect to not having the unique info in your VPD. In fact, it's actually ignored by the OS and copies of this info in alternative locations are used.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerdog:

Google Docs already runs great on the TF through Polaris Office. The downside is the lack of autosave, but that's not a serious issue unless the application has a tendency to crash (and as far as I have seen, it doesn't).
