gmail is fine if you use the gmail app - it's the stock email app that sucks.

Overall my experience is that I9100 ROMs blow the crap out of I777-based ROMs for whatever reason in terms of battery life, especially in weak signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
What I was meaning was that if you flash the full r2 package you won't lose any data, in case more than just those two files changed. The OP doesn't say only those two files were changed, maybe some of those tweaks are in other files? Changes to laggyness, proximity, wifi and battery ... I didn't think simple build.prop tweaks could do all that, but I may be wrong.

Having some serious FC issues

Hey Gals and Guys,

I flashed to R1 and then R2 from X2 and the com...phone FCs non-stop along with a few other things. Some of them are crashing so frequently (every 40 seconds) that the phone is almost unusable.

Occasionally I'd get a "SIM card couldn't be read," error.

I thought it was a modem issue, but couldn't find modem files on the forum to check. I checked the MD5 on the files and it matched. Flashed back to X2 and everything was back to normal. Flashed R2 again and back to FCs. Flashed back to X2 and it was back to normal again. I777UCKJ4 seems to work fine if that helps.

I would rather not wipe this time, since I don't have an hour or two to re-configure everything (Titanium backup is good, but account settings, WiFi, Bluetooth, still take a while).

It looks like X2 was using the same modem.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] markpaiz:
I had the same issues coming from stock rooted. I did a factory data reset in cwm and reflashed. Everything worked fine after boot. Didn't lose ay apps or photos just Google settings and needed to resync. If you don't have to re setup your Googles informations , you're doing it wrong. Lol

After the upgrade I noticed that the battery drains so fast here. I will try to give it couple of cycles and see if it calibrates well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Our battery does not require calibration. You probably have a misbehaving app.

It's extremely rare for a properly installed ROM to cause significant drain - 99% of the time it is due to an app or improper installation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daraj:
Possibly If I have installed anything but Im still on a fresh installed ROM with no additional apps installed. I will let run for a while and see. I might flash again worst cases.

Just wanted to note that my battery life is great. I went to sleep with it charge at 100% and after 7 hours I woke up and it was at 98%. By far the best ROM I have had on this phone, I was running SensatioN 1.6 on the international galaxy S2 and I would wake up with it at 100% after 7 to 8 hours. There were amazing kernels on that phone!

I'm not on Cognition right now, but on UnNamed there are a couple ringtones that sound like the GSM buzz. "Radiation by Spagnola" and "Radiation Orchestration". They're real weird.

Gingerbread keyboard behaves the same for me as the stock keyboard.

It only gives me the short spacebar in Google search where half the spacebar is the "next" key. Here are two screenshots, one with GB keyboard from the market, one with aosp keyboard. The only difference I see is the aosp keyboard keys are slightly less tall.

Gingerbread Keyboard:

Android Keyboard:

This is on MIUI, so it should be the true aosp GB keyboard.

The keyboard is called LatinIME.apk, you may be able to Google it.

I am not sure about battery life and smoothness yet. Haven't decided if its better. It might be just too much crap on my phone.

I am not complaining just sharing my experience so far and there is always room for improvement and DG does awesome work and can't image the time he spends. I have thought about working on ROM's or at least learning but too many Robotics projects right now.

If your phone was sitting unplugged overnight, then 75% for the OS isn't bad. Now, if you have at least 30 minutes of display time and AOS is still 75%, then you may have a problem...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
It does for me. But first you have to download (from market) "Talk 1.3". You don't have "root explorer" anything when you install this version; it will wipe the other talk app on its own.

Once you download Talk 1.3, open the app and "install/download" the latest version (its usually the default). If you get and error (probably you will) press install again. Beware that if you are using the "gmail" app you will have to set up your accounts again.

Then set the Gtalkenabler, reboot and you r good to go!

CM7 stands for CyanogenMod 7. MIUI is the full name as far as I know. They are both in the dev section. There are currently 3 flavors of MIUI. Both ROMs are built from android source, and designed to give you a uniform experience on different devices. Because they are not built from the i777 or i9100 stock ROMs the kernels and other things are not cross-compatible. Any time you go from one ROM to a different ROM you should wipe between. Its more important and may require wiping more things with CM7 and MIUI, because they aren't built from the same source as the stock based ROMs.

2nd full charge i install cognition. and i noticed a battery drain. and that is why i asked.
