If he does not release any new updates, at least he left us stable... True you might like new features etc... But having used Cog since Beta 1, I am pretty satisfied.

Great work DG!![/QUOTE]

I agree, I haven't had any major issues either. Although, additional features that I'm saying on the other cog ROM would be nice to have too. :-)

Not to be rude, but one update to the Euro version in the last month is a lot?

I am merging Cognition S2/Cognition X2/Perception into one rom so I have one base for the Euro and AT&T version because maintaining 3 roms is no fun.

It will be a sweet blend of Euro and AT&T version.

What does the ATT version have that is missing on the Euro? I remember when owning the captivate all the best stuff was being ported from the i9000. But I preferred the native ROMs because of the hardware differences.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arabcamel:
No disrespect DG. I just didn't know if you were still working on Cog X2. I didn't look at the time stamps, but I saw a lot of updates. What I didn't realize at the time was that the european version has been out for a while so that's probably why that rom had more updates. Never mind. :-)

Voice Commands... Strange Happening!!!

I posted this under General but got no replies....

Check this out... When trying to dictate a text message using the microphone, it always says "No Matches Found." I made sure settings were set to English U.S.

Rebooted phone- Same thing

Cleared data on the "Voice Search" app, then Reinstalled "Voice Search" from the Market. Reboot. - Same Thing... "No matches Found"

Tried using the Google Search bar on the home screen - same thing... "No Matches Found." Occasionally it may spit our the letter "ct".

Here's the weird part. Using Vlingo, I can dictate a memo, or call a contact with no problem. Just never selected the correct contact when you want to text via Vlingo.

Any Ideas? This phone is STOCK. I have another SGS2 running Cognition X Beta-4.. no issues.

Great rom! But its seems lately that my battery life has been deteriorating as I have been using it for last couple of weeks, any explanations? I don't see anything running out of control. Also what do you use for the gallery to make it play gifs natively? I like how it loads pics very quickly too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dirtyballoonot:
I had the same exact thing happen 3 days ago. Figured I'd do a wipe and try unnamed in the same breath to see if that fixed it, and it did NOT, so I just cleared the data from Voice Search and it started working again. Prior to installing Unnamed I did clear the cache and wipe data from CWM, but, it still didn't fix the issue until I manually cleared the Voice Search data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BNAS:
Yeah, tried that... No Dice! Took it back and they exchagned it for a new one no problem... Only thing now is the accu weather widget says connection failed! So I can't set the location. Tried manual location and GPS... No go! But everything else seems fine.

And the processor if that makes a difference but what's the point of porting this if I may ask?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mratlndmrk:
Just got my GS2 coming from a Captivate and loaded this ROM immediately. A couple of things I am unsure of. Most things seem to working fine but I have a couple questions: When pressing and holding the power button the only option I get is power off. There is no extended menu like with cog 4.5x with the Captivate and not even the silent and airplane mode options with stock. Is this normal or did my flash go wonky? The other thing is that I have no lock screen whatsoever since flashing. I realize that DG has not added the "extras" yet so maybe that is my issue but I just was curious is my flash was not correct.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] designgears:
The lockscreen issue sounds like a bad flash. Might just need to clear data.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Because UCKJ4 is a leak.

ROM developers avoid basing on a leak unless there is a clear and massive benefit because:

1) Leaks often have weirdo bugs hidden

2) Rebasing all of one's work on a leak on a regular basis can be a pain in the ass

Even when there's a clear and massive benefit, often the weirdo bugs mean that only the part that improves might get cherry-picked. This was the case for the TCP buffer settings and camera libraries from the AT&T Infuse leaks - they were MASSIVE improvements from Rogers UXKG3, but the Infuse leaks had massive data/GPS bugs, leading to all Infuse ROMs still being either Hellraised or based on UXKG3 with backports of the few known improvements from the leaks.

In the case of UCKJ4:

1) It provides only small noticeable improvements, the most significant one being the lockscreen bug for which there are known workarounds

2) It breaks wifi until I have enough spare time and inclination to bother screwing with a leak to try and fix the initramfs/ROM incompatibilities that result from Samsung rearranging all of the wifi configuration files - but things like Hellraiser, NFC, and updating kernel sources to Samsung I9100 update3 are higher priority than screwing with a leak with few known benefits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
You say that but then most of the roms from the i9100 section are from leaks. Most other sections seem to be basing off of leaks.... so far this section has been pretty lax on roms and what they implement in them. What im talking about really are bring big mods like jkay's, lockscreens, tsm parts, roms over from the i9100 section. DG seems to be the only one going out of the box besides yourself bringing hellraiser over for us and your great kernel. Don't get me wrong.... they are doing more then I am but i do expect great things from developers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Most of the decent ROMs from the I9100 section aren't rebasing on leaks unless there's a good reason to - VillainROM is still on XXKI3 for example.

Leaks are valid for a rebase if they bring clear improvements. UCKJ4 doesn't bring any clear improvements.

You are seriously discounting the efforts of the other developers here - they've brought a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Since you're not on IRC you're obviously unaware of all the communication and coordination we have.

Also, you ask for someone to rebase off of a leak, then you ask for stuff like JKay mods - pick one or the other! Big mods like that are EXACTLY why devs don't like rebasing off of leaks. Leaks change too often, leading to mods having to be reworked. If you want a dev to spend ALL their time rebasing, you'll never see anything new or unique. Rebasing to UCKJ4 will do NOTHING to bring special mods like that here - it will only make it harder, forcing a developer to waste their time.

Leaks become more important as a device gets older and official firmwares lag farther behind what's available. Our stock firmware is fairly recent. Leaks will become important once ICS shows up, but they're almost worthless until then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I'm not discounting anyone.... don't put words in my mouth. I'm also speaking in general not specifically on uckj4.

I was also giving examples of mods not asking specifically for all of them.

I've seen devs do it a hundred time in i9000 and i897 devices.

Also added on RootzWiki

Initial observations-

Haptic feedback does not work at all for me, OS wide

Black screen when booting, thought I soft bricked, What does "Only Loop Left" mean?

In the dialer the video call button goes to the call log

No Gingerbread AOSP keyboard?

WiFi won't turn on, first time says error, if I turn on again says its on, scans, sees no networks, turns itself off. I did a reboot, no effect.

NFC is not enabled in settings after reboot

Power savings widget is 4x2 instead of scrollable 4x1

When on vibe only mode the vibe and mute icon appear in the notification tray

Installation Notes:

i777 running GalnetMIUI

1 - Ran Wipe Cache in CWM

2 - Ran Wipe Data / Factory Reset in CWM

3 - Deleted all folders off internal SD in CWM other than Media, TiBu, CWM, and MIUI

4 - Installed Cognition 777

5 - Reboot from CWM

6 - Restore Missing apps with TiBu

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
NFC not being persistent is something that annoys me, but it's common to all NFC-enabled ROMs so far. I'll figure it out eventually but right now it's a minor annoyance.

No AOSP keyboard is common to all Samsung GS2 ROMs it seems, even stock I777 was like this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I'm pretty sure UnNamed left it in, and I know the phone not only had it on stock, they left it on by default.

Should be, HOWEVER: Flashing any theme that touches android.policy.jar will undo the home button haptic feedback fix.

As to the UCKJ4 modem - it might improve things it might break things - leak modems tend to be hit-or-miss.

Did a wipe data / Factory reset in CWM then flashed. WiFi, BT and haptic are back. It does show a different kernel: 2.6.35.7-00020-gbf376fa adodd@quadmonkey #257. Also the boot animation worked, instead of a black screen. I know all those are tied to the Kernel.
