DG, in case you didn't get my tweet, I'll say it again here.

I found an issue with your ROM and GTG's UnNamed ROM. The animations are halved. stuff like popups (for volume and brightness in settings) and when you hit the menu key appear with no animation where they would be halfway through the original animation and continue from there. Very broken. I asked GTG and we figured out it was a problem with slowBlur. I suggest you turn that off, it causes issues for me, no matter what ROM I try with it on, no matter how many times I factory reset. And stock and Perception don't have that issue either, and I am pretty sure you didn't enable slowBlur in Perception yet. Can you turn it off please? It makes said animations (and only those) much smoother.

I assume that since 2.3.5 has been leaked out we will be seeing an update to Cognition with 2.3.5? Not asking for an ETA, just inquiring if it is planned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I think I saw a discussion somewhere that neither gtg nor designgears have plans to use anything from a leak - leaks just cause pain and suffering for ROM devs.

I still remember the pain and suffering UCKI3 for Infuse caused for gtg - in the end I think he yanked everything but the updated camera libraries.

I flashed this yesterday from rooted stock, and I find that the speaker volume is not very loud, even with all volume turned up all the way. Is this something in the ROM, a temporary glitch, or something else?

Edit: Nevermind. A reboot fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] talkingcheese56:
Flashed back to stock+root. Experiencing the same 'problem'.

Screen has on time of 1 hour, 11 hours off charge and down to 66%- which is fine with me, no complaints. But BetterBatteryStats is showing screen on time of 1 hour with an awake time of 2 hours! And this is not reflected at all on the stock gingerbread battery graph thing. My screen and awake times line up perfectly.

This just seems to be an issue of BBS reading something wrong, because nothing is reflecting this supposed awake time- not the partialwakelocks, not CPU Spy and most importantly not even the battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:
Does this use the stock camera app? I am guessing it does not, but I am no expert. I use an imaging app that I use for work, and it works fine on the stock ROM but for some reason with cognition it cannot enhance images and I just get blurred text etc. I had the same problem with many of the custom ROMs on the captivate as well.

What is the best way to come from CyanogenMod 7 to Cognition X2?

I'm in a boot loop at the moment. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
Wipe data/factory reset in cmw and wipe caches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
RE: bootloop

#1: Pull the battery and replace battery then go into CWM Recovery

#2: Select "Wipe Data/Factory reset"

#3: Select "install zip from sdcard" then select Cognition X2

#4: Wait for it to complete the flashing process

#5: Select "reboot system"

#6: Have patience the first boot takes way longer than normal

Thats it!

Good luck!

Can anyone repost the Samsung/accuweather widget apk. The one in the OP wont install.

I tried using the one from my 10.1 but it was too big.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daraj:
its not going to install you need to push it to system/apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
The one in the OP will work just fine if you COPY the file to your

phone into the /system/app folder which is located on the root of

your internal sdcard.

OR you can do it much easier and faster pushing (copying) the file

from your computer to your phone if you know how to use ADB.

The command for ADB file copy within a windows cmd window is:

(there are a few prerequisites you need to do first for this to work)

ADB PUSH filename.ext /system/app filename.ext

Then reboot the phone and it should work fine.

SMS/MMS in CALL LOG

I know that everyone hates this feature, but, it actually does serve ONE GOOD purpose. When you go to call/txt someone and don't feel like scrolling through all your contacts they will be in the "recent" tab if you've been texting them, but, not calling.

If I might suggest, instead of removing the SMS history from the call logs perhaps make duplicate contact history collapsable. No idea how much work that would take, but it would be a better solution in my humble opinion...

Anyone?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The problem with this is that you can't multi-select here - e.g. select all call types and no message types.

I'm fine with the usual workaround, not logging the SMS/MMS to the call log in the first place, that's what the Messaging app is for.

Cognition X2 Rom

designgears,

I was testing your Cognition X2 rom earlier today and I am not sure if

anyone else has reported this little problem with the X2 rom yet.

The audio volume of the phone during Skype calls is a lot lower

than with either the stock rom or GTG's "noname v1.01" rom.

Skype's audio always sounds like its coming thru the speakerphone

so I never have to put my ear to the phone to hear the caller especially

since I have the volume control on the phone turned all the way up.

(Skype has no options for volume or for turning on the speakerphone).

With the stock rom or the nonamed rom Skype audio calls sound like

regular phone calls using the speakerphone option while with your rom

it sounds like a normal phone call without speakerphone enabled.

Except for this little problem your rom is really excellent.

Hope whatever the problem is, that it can be found and fixed easily.

3) The beep it makes when it comes back from vibrate only

4) The camera sounds overriding whatever other audio I'm doing (turning off music/podcasts just because I go into the camera app)

I know on the Infuse, on some ROMs gmail sync would cause massive battery drain in some weak-signal situations. It happened to be one of the corner cases where codeworkx's cpuidle kernel fix made a big difference.

Unlike HTC devices, battery calibration doesn't apply to our devices.

Google MAX17040 for more info - while our fuel gauge chip (MAX17042) does have advanced features that would require calibration if used, those features are not yet enabled and it basically behaves identically to a 17040. Maxim specifically designs their fuel gauge chips to not require special calibration procedures.

You would have to read the change logs and see if any apply to what you would want in a ROM..

I would also recommend Leomar's Revolution. Been running it for a week or so to really give it a chance. Very customization oriented using the OTA kitchen.

It will be a tough choice between the next version of Cognition and the new partnership between CheckRom/ Revolution version being released. They will both be barn burners.

Either ROM would be a better experience than rooted stock.
