Luca,

Have I told you how much I love your ROM...i just pulled a 3 day stint on the hyperdroid ROM, gave it a fair chance, and than BAM...i did a full wipe and fresh install of the GM...although, this time i renamed the dual script deal and installed Siyah 2.1.1-no-lag, flashed the miui theme, AND flashed the XXKI4 modem...running like a champ!!!

ps - 5156 quadrant score is nice!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] motorsportgod:
bluetooth

ive been reading for ages on this thread and have sore eyes, so..... does wiimote work with this rom? rom looks sweet im gonna download and flash anyway :)

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] oldskater:
pull down menu

does anyone know if its possible to remove some of the options from the pull down menu. i want to remove almost all and just leave wifi,bt and airplane mode.

if its tucked away on a menu option someone please point me too it. i am potentially being thick but i cant find it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huwande1acruz:
Can anyone upload the modem of this rom in zip file? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Here! Flash from cwm.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
apparently, the setup i was running wasn't that great. Siyah 2.1.1-anti-lag, XXKI4 modem, miui theme, and the dual scripts removed = frozen phone unable to wake up in the morning while the alarm clock blares loud as crap! ya, it pretty much annoyed me and my 9 month prego wife.

too much going on to say what is what, but i'm thinkin it was probably the kernel's issue, not so much the ROM since i had setcpu installed and the dual script disabled....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] freemini:
So OC deamon and dual core scripts don't get disabled if I change kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jinsiik:
Is it me or is the GS2 have this touch input lag throughout the wholes OS? im not sure if this occurs in the stock kernel or The-GingerMOD v0.7. Any fixes?!?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Touch screen sensitivity parameter is set by kernel, not ROM.

Try Touchmove app from market. Author is Tegrak :)

You can change the sensitivity and set to apply it on reboot.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tegrak.touchmove
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jinsiik:
Its not the touch sensitivity that is the problem but how fast android recognises where it is. It quite noticeable while playing games that require timing. :( Through the app though it detects instantly but in games it doesn't, there's like this 0.5second delay :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dreams1723:
After using all the roms planning to stick with this rom..like it..the pure google experience.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hacksome:
GingerMod with Angelom Kernel and KH3 baseband, giving me the best experience on this phone yet!. I've tried all of the other ROMs. No FCs, No Slow-Downs and great battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] doop:
I have done a full wipe. Installed 0.7 which seems great.

But cannot Install anything from the update app. It reboots into CWM but ends with restoring original (when trying to install theme).

Do I have to change permissions or have I missed something obvious.

Re-installed and now working.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Request

Luca will 0.9 (or 1.0) be based on any KJ 'series'? KJ1, KJ2 and KJ3 seems to have good response from users. I understand that 0.8 will be KI3 based.

Especially with KJ1 many reports good performance and battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
@ALL

sorry guys if I'm absent but had some exams at university!!

also working on an all-new v0.8

Will be kj1 (best base I tested) and have many news and concentrate on battery saving and will also remove all the bugs!!

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Luca, I have heard that there are wifi problems in kj1. Its kinda slow.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
I've used stock kj1 for a week and no problems

It may be related to wifi drivers so changing kernel simply resolves it :-)

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jinsiik:
Hi Luca,

Do you know why theres this touch recognition delay on games? such as cut the rope? its about 0.5s delay :( is there a fix?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
This hardly is a rom's fault...

its related to kernel and more precisely to Touchscreens drivers!

And also on how andorid manage them (but the roms dont change that)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lfcorullon:
Is there a date to launch the next version?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Already Legendary ROM will be even more amazing with KJ1 release.

Hope jkay releases themes for KJ1 soon.

Luca, you have no idea how good a man you are!

I think that the camera in GingerMod already has Pototomans update1 hack. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
In the last release, doesn't, At least I had to install it ^^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] htcuser69:
it safe install Siyah-v2.1.1-CWM

do i need to make some change ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jayerfernandes:
Only do a nandroid.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jooops:
Definitly a kernel problem. Had the same with Siyah 2.0. Get the 2.1 update and its fixed. Also disable OCDeamon which is installed automaticly with this rom.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

So i don't know what everybody is experiencing with this rom, but on my phone i finally after a half year of experimenting with al kinds of roms and kernel found that this + Siyah kernel is the best!

Fast, Stable + BEST Battery!

No Fc's, no drains, bluetooth or wifi issues. Just great! Only thing i just had to change was 5% to 1% battery status drop. Im a student so i use my phone often, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail + School mail sync, calling and some browsing. I get between 1.5 and 2 days of usage. And normally i was used to 14 hours. So this is good stuff!

Cpu schedular is Ondemand and i/o schedular is NOOP. UV everything with Voltage control. just 100mv less than normal. (doesnt really help that much though, i think i gives me 15 to 30 minutes longer battery.)

So i think with this combination you'll get the best!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] htcuser69:
you get 2.1 final or 2.1.1

where to disable OCDeamon
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jayerfernandes:
Automatically sone when SetCPU is installed
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Luca, hope you're not missing the post from users where in they claim best combo for THE best phone, without a doubt is gingermod+siyah.

Thanks once again for all your hard work.

The ROM and the Kernel also reflects some sort of personality of their respective devs: Helpful, non-sarcastic and bug free!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] htcuser69:
and, where to change I/O schedular to NOOP and VU control :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Use Voltage Control app to change i/o scheduler, undervolt, change freq governor, etc.

Or use setcpu if you want to use profiles too. No Frills app can be used to change i/o scheduler.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jayerfernandes:
I've recently started getting force closes with my contacts. Is the solution flashing TW Calendar?

Luca as a request for the future editions, please try and get rid of the contacts force close bug. I dont like the TW Calendar one bit.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] htcuser69:
No Frills disable OCDeamon ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
sadly, yeah =/
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrjeffery:
Would there likely be any problem if I flash KI3 modem with this rom installed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Any such apps will disable OCdaemon. If you want to be more sure, delete 74OC-Daemon from /etc/init.d using Root Explorer app.

Some people believe it's better to use Voltage Control app rather than using SetCpu+No frills combination. Because voltage control creates scripts in init.d and is supposed to drain less battery than setcpu. Plus it has controls to oc/uv GPU and change charge current.

There won't be any problems. And, KI3 is the default modem for this ROM!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 9mmpistol:
Trying increasing the minimum clock speed in sleep mode in the OC settings. This solved it for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
hey luca, is it possible to add calendar from cyanogen mod to the updates app? 'cause i would like to use the lockscreen calendar they have, is it possible??

already searched for market options, but at least for me, they really suck
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zidane:
i flashed kies support through the OTA update app, but i cannot connect to kies.

and when i try kies via wifi, nothing happens, the phone just freezes.

howerver kies air works fine.

any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrjeffery:
GingerMOD extras has vanished from my settings menu?! Any way I can get it back?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Try this.

Extract Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk from rom zip. (/system/app)

Using Root Explorer, copy these two apks into /system/app replacing existing.

Set permissions rw- r-- r-- for both files.

Reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] htcuser69:
howto make lock screen like this one
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Open Deluxe Settings (appdrawer). Make Sure JKAY AOSP Deluxe is selected under "Lockscreen".

Under "lockscreen actions" select middle left shortcut', press menu and select Unlock. Select 'middle right shortcut' and set Sound Toggle.

Under "deluxe settings", check 'show clock', and 'use aosp clockstyle'.

Under "lockscreen wallpaper", select "home screen". Exit Deluxe Settings.

Set nexus live wallpaper as you wallpaper. Reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] htcuser69:
thanks a lot

btw: Siyah kernel don't work for me ! don't know why but its crash. The default kernel is working very stable
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kontinuity:
Have you tried disabling the 74OC Daemon from init.d?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrjeffery:
Thanks. I just reflashed the rom in the end and that sorted it.

One other problem I seem to be having is I lose access to the SD card after rebooting. I can view its contents in recovery but its not available after booting normally. Its happened 3 times and the last time under settings>storage it wouldn't show me internal or external space
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jooops:
2.1.1 and disable ocdeamon with the superuser app.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] akira02rex:
I "hellraised" this for my SGSII i777. It works flawless thus far but one little wonky issue is that the picture gallery is loading my images from the oldest date to newest which means I have to scroll WAAAYYY over to see the latest pictures taken. The default behavior should be the opposite.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
I'm using tw gallery. Sorting is correct.

Flash from OP or OTA extras.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Use the OTA App and install them simply :D

Absolutely not missing them :D

BUT I really find ICS By angelom better FOR ME (obviously its an opinable idea)

So I use to release thing the way I use them (cause all the things i do are not for release purposes, but for hobby, fun and personal use :D)

I Will make 2 pack, One for Siyah and one for restoring ICS with all the optimized scripts and the rest!

Not possible to get rid without the TWCalendar sadly...

I'll make TW Calendar default and Aosp optional in OTA for this bug sadly

its like this By Deafult!

Remember to NOT WIPE DATA AFTER flashing!

It in crescent order in my cell now...

Try installing quickpic, its better than anything :D

@ALL

NO ETAs!

BUT I am planning to release next week, this week I have an exham and also other projects to go ahead!

Also THANKS FOR ALL DONATIONS! :D

VERY APPRECIATED THANKS! :D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
i can not find a thread about the abyss kernel...where is it? i wanna do some research before i just flash a kernel...

well it's an italian kernel, and there is no thread here (the reason might be some issue with GPL AFAIK). If you want more information, translate this:

I am no expert themer either, but I will create 5 themes for you Luca, starting tomorrow. You can see screenshots of the themes in the Dlevrom mod thread.

Shade of Dusk

BlueOcean custom

Lightening black

BlueMix

ICS

Note : ICS theme will not be based on the existing ones by Vert/Big. I don't want to get into a fistfight. I will base it on SunnySekhon's CM7 theme after I get permission from him.

update

: Permission from SonnySekhon received for ICS theme. :D

After flashing 0.7 I've restored my data with Titanium Backup (by restoring all missing app data) and Ii'm "Afraid" that by doing so I've restored app and other stuff that maybe you consider unnecessary or bad for the performance/battery life of my device.

How can I find out which software should I unistall and which to keep? (using TB)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jayerfernandes:
Use betterbatterystats(on xda forums), cpu spy and gemini app killer to see whats keeping your phone up when it ought to be sleeping and uninstall accordingly.

Or factory reset, install only your core apps (there is a check option in batch recovery on Titanium), and then go app by app from there
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saar17:
I don't understand how betterbatterystats works, the only use of cpu spy for me is seeing how much my device used each voultage.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] cwestpha:
Now that ICS sources are public I am sure Samsung is well on its starting of porting ICS for the S II. Knowing Samsung though they will ruin it with touch wiz or other garbage. So will you be supporting mod vanilla versions of both Samsung based branches or just keep going with gingerbread base while letting aosp take care of ICS until it mostly stabilizes and you get bored with gingerMOD?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jayerfernandes:
Luca builds GingerMod from stable releases by samsung. When samsung comes out with s stable ICS upgrade, Luca will come out with IceCreamSandwichMod

[Galaxy S II Android Development] cwestpha:
I know how it works. The question is if he is going to do the same for ICS as he is now for gingerbread. Primarily GingerMOD came out of his desire for an AOSP style vanilla release. At the time the AOSP sources had lousy hardware support for the S II so he began preaning back the Samsung build to vanilla quality.

However, all indications are AOSP ICS branches will be ready before the Samsung builds mature, so the main reason for the creation of GingerMOD may not exist for ICS.

I just am wondering what Luca has planed since the main hardware support and customization reasons for cutting back on the Samsung release may not exist for ICS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lomniom:
Got the best battery life with this Rom. Even the battery level is -5% not -1%, it does not bother me as long as it economize it! Great n speedy. Now I have the new reference for Galaxy S2! *happy*
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
you still won't have the codec support on AOSP, that part is developed by samsung and closed-source. So yeah, gingermod will always be relevant for this phone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cwestpha:
True, but there aren't codecs included for everything, and it isn't the primary reason for making this ROM. Besides it isn't that its closed source, its that there are license fees associated with it hence why its not included in AOSP. Google wont include things that require fees or cant be packaged with the license they use for their various Android sources. The entire idea behind AOSP is that you can compile and roll your own Android build and just have to honor the terms of the license without having to worry about fees and hoops. Technically AOSP already has some closed sourced/license fee attached items in it... its just Google went out of their way to license it for everyone for Android (some fonts are an example of this).

Samsung includes some bundles like codecs, enhanced Vlingo, some bundled apps, Samsung TTS, etc. So we do get some extras, but honestly Vanilla Ginerbread and soon Ice Cream Sandwich is the main real draw. Everything else can be added or "hacked" in via customization or third-party downloads.

Though technically nothing is stopping someone like CyanogenMOD from including all of the codecs, packages, and other things in with their builds; they would just have to license the stuff above and beyond what Google has required as necessary for a functional Android build. I know I wouldn't mind paying a $2 donation or fee for a "plus" ROM that's AOSP plus extras and I would just get a install that is more end-user functional.

does it support RTL for arabic & Persian ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dknotty:
I've just installed this and seem to get screen blackouts after leaving the phone unused for over 5 minutes. The only way to recover is a battery pull and restart.

Anyone had this? What's going on?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Luca undervolted little too much (:)) in 0.7 and some phones are not able to handle it.

Use Root Explorer, navigate to /system/etc and rename the file 'dual_core_script' to 'dual_core_script.off'. Navigate to /system/etc/init.d and delete '74OC-Daemon'.

Reboot. And use SetCpu to control your frequencies and voltages.

Next release, 0.8 will probably have only moderate under-volting. (and abyss kernel may be)
