Thank you, i suspected it was impossible, but still i wanted to verify

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Thank you! now pretty much, every doubt i had is solved ;) , totally makes sense now, no samsung 2.3.7 rom no gingermod 2.3.7 , but like you said no big bifference between 2.3.5 and 2.3.7 we'll be fine :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Absolutely yes in next version!

Yeah remove them or rename in dual_core.off and done!

Next version will have an option to enable and disable it!

Remove dualcore scripts in /system/etc or simply install SetCpu or CPUMaster and reboot, and you have resolved!

Mmmh if there is no settings in the app, then try see in the server...if not I think is how the app is designed... :-(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Luca, will 0.8 be based on KI8 or KI4?

Also, now that the default kernel is ics, you may want to update the change log in OP first post :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
Regarding the email app it is possible to add an option to sync all but requires editing files and compiling from source aosp. I'm sure there are versions out there but need to search. When I get time I'll check it out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
I will change the OP in next version and include some beautiful review the rom had here in italy! :D;D

About the base I dont know, I'm still testing new builds and still I dont find any reason to migrate....

@nikzDHD

Thank you! ;:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
KJ1 seems to get good reviews in the RomKitchen thread, hardly any roms based on that maybe you can revolutionise that version lol, but no need KI3 working well. I'd say wait for the next version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] deoneR:
love your rom but i really want to use the CM7 mms.apk to get a smaller text size and black background

but when i change the apk in /system/app i get fc after reboot when opening the settings in the app

i'm i doing this the wrong way?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
But simply use the ota app and install from extra??

[Galaxy S II Android Development] deoneR:
omg my fail...

i always try to make this rom better but its actually so nice already that i'm like
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lfcorullon:
If you are no using the extra pack, don't forget to change the file(s) permissions. You need to copy to app folder the mms.apk and mmsprovisioning.apk...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xhuko:
First of all, Thx a lot for this superb rom! I LOVE IT!

Ich have a problem tho: I just dont get BLN to work. App is activated, but it does nothing when i get a message or a missed call.

I use LauncherPro and the Siyah 2.1-Darkknight kernel.

Does anyone have a suggestion/solution?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
The ROM is really bug free that people can not post anything to spam the thread like in other rom threads.

Absolutely perfect blend of aosp and non-crap Samsung apps is what make GM great.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Iggy82:
Haven't had much luck with this ROM the last few days.

My phone has crashed a about 3 -4 times, usually happens after a few hours of inactivity. I guess this could be the UV issue so I have installed SetCPU, hopefully this solves it.

In addition, I flashed the TW SMS app but it force closes every time I try and read a message. Ensured I wiped cache and kalvik and tried re-flashing but same problem occurs. I then moved over to Cyanogen SMS and this has been working without issues until today, I am not receiving any messages but can still send.... could be a carrier issue I guess?

Lastly, my battery has been draining within about 20 hours use. Battery stats simply says 'Cell Standby' is using more power than anything, what could be causing this!?!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chad_Petree:
what app is that you mention?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
i have had these same issues the past 3 days...i've just been a bit too busy to jump on here...

when my phone sits for a few hours without being used, i found it had crashed, and the battery completely drained....i don't know what is causing it, but i am going to have to go back to .6b now....i'm not a fan of my phone just crashing and draining the battery bone dry...

sorry luca...look forward to the next release...

ps - i've had setcpu installed since the lag issues i experienced when i first installed this rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
I do not have any crashes on 0.7.

People who are having problems can try increasing their voltages via any voltage control app or by modifying the uV_mV_table.

Also use CpuSpy to see if the phone is going to deep sleep properly, if not find what's causing huge wakelocks using betterbatterystats.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
my phone is going into deep sleep properly...like i said, everything runs fine unless i leave the phone alone for a few hours...than it freezes locks up and the battery is completely drained...its weird...i am going to monitor my phone all day to day..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
You should install also BLN Compatble liblights!

You can find it in BLN Thread in the Apps&Themes section!

I'm going to concentrate on having a Bugfree rom with the v0.8, so many of thoose things will be resolved:

UV Will be removed

About sms try to go to settings and delete the app data (I refer to the TW SMS Crashing)

About battery I really dont have problems, if your battery drains, use BetterBatteryStats from here on XDA and it will say you what causes wakelocks and what apps does prevent your cell to standby!

Is this with Siyah or ICS Kernel?

Try DELETING the dualcore script direclty if it acts like that

Other than that...

IF You have ICS Kernel when doing this, I'll ask you for DSMEG (kernel logs) that I'll provide to the kernel creator, If you have siyah I cannot say what is, but only suggest you to delete the scripts
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
I am using the stock ICS kernel that comes with the ROM...i just read up on the dualcore script and changed its name (added .bak) to the end of it...

since than, had a wakelock issue with the GPS, turned it off,and no more wake lock...

edit - sorry bout my siggy, haven't updated it since i flashed to .7!! my bad!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Well probably next version will be completely OK With bugs, I'll try to do it bugfree!

Also in extras add 2 options to enable/disable dualcore scripts so if anyone has problems can shut them off without renouncing to OC Daemon!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xhuko:
Thanks for the answer, luca. Will try it with the compatible libs (I hope to found out how to apply them :)).

Another question, if Im allowed:

It seems to me that - for an unknown reason - the battery decreasing steps are in 5% ones (like 100% , 95%, 90%, 85%, etc).

But I didnt do anything else than flashing the rom and flashing some original Samsung zips (from those offered in the thread).

What has happened here? I mean, it cant be normal that the discharging steps are 5%-ones.

I hope someone has a solution or idea what it could be.

Edit:

Is it safe to flash another battery mod (for appearence purposes)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] freemini:
He said it's his mistake in the framework. Should be fixed in the next release.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Iggy82:
Just so you don't feel bad about it mate, I think the ROM is pretty awesome which is why I continue to use it and live with the bugs. Ever since owning a Nexus One, I've hated skins like TW & Sense, you can't beat the pure Android experience!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Flashable zip of framework with corrected battery % display is attached.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
I do not have any crash issue with 0.7, only once in the past four days, my phone turned off after I finished a call, that's it. Using siyah kernel, UVing and OCing to 1.4 ghz, still getting over 3 hours of display, couldn't be happier:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anonomike:
This ROM is what keeps me persistent in modding my phone. I appreciate all the great roms out there but their performance improvements for day to day stuff are marginal at best since the GS2 is fast to begin with. But GingerMOD is the first ROM I've tried that actually feels measurably quicker at every level. Plus I love the AOSP experience. Just want to say thanks to luca. What a talented young developer.

This will actually be the second time I've flashed the ROM. I ran into issues on my previous run and had to flash back. Persistent reading through the thread has resolved my concerns and I'm determined to get back on. Question before I do though:

Is there any paramount reason to flash the Siyah 2.1 kernel? Is the difference in battery life/user experience so beyond the standard ICS kernel to make it worth dealing with the issues encountered? I'm no developer but I think I can follow the instructions for the fixes but at the same time I don't want to disrupt the thread asking for help should I encounter some serious issues.

Like others I'm looking forward to a 0.8 release but the current build has me so excited that I've no dreams of complaining regardless.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Iggy82:
Just so everyone knows, this does indeed give you battery percentage in 1% increments but it's a circular type status, a bit like this:

Also, when installing it says something about installing Samsung Apps!?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes. I forgot to change the icons. That's the one I am using.

Don't worry abt the wording during installation. I forgot to edit the updater script.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
It's quite simple. GM is the only sane custom rom for our beloved gs2, and Siyah is the most popular kernel for gs2 at the moment. So, people like me are tempted and curious to know what is the result of the combination like :)

"Perfect" is the first word that i can think of.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] harrisony:
nice, will give it a go

yes they was released after my rom, but my rom already content all of them and more!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] keltonfan:
Can you make the aosp lockscreen
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wickedsaint:
Any way to put back the stock screenshot feature back in the next update! Think its really handy!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
As stated in first post (if read)

I'm working on It is not that simple!

I'll look in including it in some feature pack...

but there are so many apps in market for that!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JuanDeaux:
Here are some stats using the KH3 modem, also no auto brightness.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wickedsaint:
Ummm there is but they have some bugs..i tried two... screenshot and shoot it... but they dont seem to work properly or when you need them!! it may be only in my case, but the default feature will be nice, also if you can provide it through some CWM flash able zip?? if possible that is!! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cwestpha:
Ok I am starting to love this ROM. UK XX Galaxy S2 imported to US running on AT&T. CM7 nightly -> GingerMOD .1 -> Factory Reset -> erase SD -> fun! Had the market FC but a restart took care of that. Updated to new market (I know this one is slower because it grabs more data for recommendations and other things like the last version), switched to Go Launcher for some prettiness.

had a few FC and crashes for some things but everything seems to be settling down now (had to go back and wipe out SD storage because it was grabbing some old settings from there apparently).

Tried to download the zipallign posted, but dropbox cant seem to find the file.

Please dont move to one of the later builds for the basis of radio or system, I have had nothing but problems with ROMs and firmwares based on the latter ones. KH3 fixed some issues with KH1, but still has quite a few regressions causing regular HSPA disconnects (as in WAN drops not dropping down from HSPA+ to 3G to save power) and slow bringing up the GSM connection on boot.

I take it there is no way to completely gut the last of the samsung TW out and leave it optional? I have been dreaming of a truly stock Android ROM, but with all of the optimizations and underlaying hardware suport left in, for my S2 and then build and customize it up from there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Hi! Thanks :D

Yeah Market FC is fixed in nex release (adopts new market)

About the modem, I tested KH1 and KH3 (better) from when the were out; i have TIM in italy (wich have the same 3G frequencies of AT&T) and worked a lot better for me in sigal quality!

There are also many threads about modem (one stiky) or you can simply remove the modem.bin from the zip before flashing if you do not want it :D

About the TWless yes, this is the goal of the rom AOSP android + the samsung optimizations, in fact, the only things I WANT to left are:

Browser

Camera

FM_radio

(And task manager)

All the rest is AOSP apart for:

Phone

Contacts

Lockscreen

Gallery (cause of lockscreen wallpaper, with glass then we cannot change the wallpaper without the gallery TW)

I'm working on it, obv, but in the mean time, I AOSPized them to look like AOSP :D

You'll see the progress in the v0.2 (much changes!)

Very nice:) I am glad I could help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] =jon=:
Thanks for the ROM - it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for :)

However - I'm getting FC's from acore when accessing exchange activesync. I also tried the samsung email client and I'm still getting FC's... Any ideas? Wiped cache/dalvik after install, and tried clearing application data but still no luck :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
you should send me the logcat of the error :D

type in terminal:

logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

then make the fc and send me the file in your sd card, or use aLogcat from market :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] =jon=:
Looks like it's the contacts sync for exchange:

To be complete install two mail and calendar, wipe apps data (of those 2 only) reboot and retry!

Hi luca,

Have been waiting for your 2nd rom and finally it's here!

just to confirm is the video player aosp or samsung? i feel that stock video player is better because it supports more codec.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
It is the stock one!

Causethe gallery is still the Samsung one because of the lockscreen! :D

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] =jon=:
Flashing just the TW-Calendar (with a cache & dalvik wipe) seems to have cured the issue - the stock exchange client is no longer crashing, and all my contacts have synced too :)

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Iggy82:
So for people out there with the Siyah and GingerMOD ROM hybrid, what's your experience, good, bad, better than standard ICS kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anonomike:
A tremendous Thank You. I actually prefer the circular graphic.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Taskman:
Installed this rom yesterday and I love it.

It really is giving me the best of AOSP together with the things that so good with Samsung.

Great work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xhuko:
Ok, I am really near to giving up, BLN just doesnt want to work.

And I did everything to make it run: activate it, install the correct libs (well, I hope those are the correct ones), using siyah kernel (tried it with ninphetamine too).

What the hell am I doing wrong? Or did I forget something? Like activate smth in the used app?

I followed the advice of luca and flashed the offered zip of sicopat (here is his thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200262 ).

That was the only thread I found talking about bln.

You need to help me guys. Im thankful for any ideas/recommandations/tipps.

5 Icon Integrated Dock?

Found this review of the rom on youtube. I really like the look of that interface. Is that guy using LauncherPro or another launcher available from the market?

Is there any way to get 5 integrated dock icons like that without using a launcher. That's really all I'm looking for is to integrate my SMS into the dock.

Wish I could read or understand Italian.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
Hi luca,

I know its probably something difficult to change, 'cause its linked to lockscreen too, but i would really aprecciate if the mms from samsung started workin again... actually, the only reason i like it its cause of the popup wave that appears on lockscreen, something very handy for people that use text message ;)* the problem is just that it force close when you trill to open ^^

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anonomike:
I use the notification drop-down menu for everything including messaging.

I've also set the middle-right short cut to launch messaging from the lockscreen rather than go to silent mode. Not quite what you were looking for but I its enough for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Taskman:
The launcher he is using is SPB Shell which is on the market. Quite expensive though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
Maybe you didnt read... remember how you used to answer you sms on your no rooted galaxy s2? Unless you used password, you had to move all the screen to unlock, except when you had a new sms/call, which would show a orange pop up on the right, that when slided, lead you right to the message app, on the unread message...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Aquarixz:
i'm wondering if i have the battery drain problem

at night i discharge my sgs2 at 100% battery and wake up in the morning found 92% battery

so i lost 8% of battery in 8 hours, is this weird??

another question

- i've been travel around SGS ROM world, i started at GingerMOD 0.5 then get update to 0.6b the boottime was so quick (30~40s)

then, i switched to other ROM like CognitionS2, Batista70, HyperDroid then get back to GingerMOD at 0.6b again

i found the boottime is increased a lot (45s~1min)

what's the matter with my SGS2 !!?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droidphile:
Losing 1% every hour is not so bad. I lose only 2 % overnight (8 hours idle) though. Do you keep wifi on during sleep? Have you setup any email to sync very frequently?

Your phone probably has some wakelocks caused by some apps. Use betterbatterystats to find the rogue apps.

Regarding increased boot time, you probably have more apps now (installed by you) and loading of some of those apps during startup is what's causing the extra delay.

Use AutoStarts from market to disable some of the startup programs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Aquarixz:
- my WiFi and Data is off during night so that email is not synced

i'll try your app to monitor battery usage this night

- my apps count is about to be equal the earlier, just install some games and 2-3 more apps

thanks

Hi Luka, if you are planning to move to a new base, please consider KJ2. Jkay has promised support for it too. Would be a great combination to have a KJ2 GingerMod.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
Can't believe how few posts this rom thread has while most of the other "hot" roms offer nothing special. THIS is the rom to use, wish more people flashed this! We should start promoting this agressively, you know, with big signature images:D

Luca, it would be great if you could port some more themes to this rom. Love the MIUIbuntu theme, but wouldn't mind some more options, hehe:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jooops:
Yeah best rom o've ever had so far!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
Hi, i was looking on the betterbatterystats apk, and checked that, as I suspected, maps its the problem... f***, is there anyway to stop these processs?? At least the first one that its eating a lot, if someone knows....

BTW, i do not use eeeeevery day, but i do use maps apk sometimes, so freezing it isn't an option ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
Are you using latitude by any chance? If not, then disable it from inside maps. It has given me wakelocks before, trying to update my location and what not.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
I can't believe is that simple! hahaha Disabled, so let's see how does it go right now =D

Wakelock using gps isn't really good!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] diegoms89:
actually not, unfortunatelly, to work without reboots, its recomended to install just one zip at a time
