Nope, this rom did not screwed your modem, it is impossible for it to do so. we do not write to that specific partition nor we include any modem on this rom. so that part of your phone is intact.

I do know however that signal roaming or no signal could be caused by different apn settings, and This rom do uses different apn settings (it uses cm7).

Google for apn settings, find your apn settings, then flash it to your device. or simply grab the ones that fit best to you and use that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] spaxx24:
Similar thing happens to me, I have tried everything and I cant send MMS with this rom, but when i restore backup to cm7 it works fine. Really wierd, same APN.

Otherwise I like this ROM very much :) Definately the best sammy rom.

LOL s2d4 is just on his own planet right now, id probably have to have the screen on with just a black screen, with flight mode on, brightness set to 0 to get anywhere near his screen on times. What I mean though is for example

battery life with base no surgeon - screen on time will be roughly 4 hours

battery life with docs surgeon - screen time will be no higher than 4 hours.

same above but with facebook deliberately syncing every 15 mins, beautiful widgets syncing every hour, whatsapp on, do some tests with samsung dive - screen on time will be near 4 hours.

Its like my phone is hardwired to run at 4 hours screen on time lool

Are u removing any apps from base rom? There are some other apks involved in mms besides mms.apk

had problems sending/receiving mms with this rom before as well... apparently, the mms entry for my provider (Philippines - Globe) was incorrect...

here's what i did:

1. extract the apns-conf.xml under \system\etc (i downloaded a zip file before called zapn.zip from this thread)

2. look for the mms entry of your provider. i.e. <apn carrier="GLOBE MMS" mcc="515" mnc="02" apn="real.globe.com.ph" user="globe" password="globe" mmsc="http://192.40.100.22:10021/mmsc" mmsproxy="192.40.100.20" mmsport="8080" type="mms" />

3. check if the entry is correct. if not, modify the entry. i.e. <apn carrier="GLOBE MMS" mcc="515" mnc="02" apn="mms.globe.com.ph" mmsc="http://192.40.100.22:10021/mmsc" mmsproxy="203.177.42.214" mmsport="8080" type="mms" />

4. save the xml file.

5. if you downloaded the zapn.zip, flash thru cwm. you can also copy the xml to \system\etc (forgot the permission, just give everyone full control). or you can include this on your favorite surgeon.

MMS

2 things

I find screen time and battery life fantastic im just using the base rom :)

I have not removed any apk from rom but find it very difficult to send and receive mms on o2 uk and there was no probs on xd version again same apn. I flashed k14 modem. have managed to send and receieve 1 mms but after lots and lots of re send milarky!!! so something must be causing a prob, not really fussed as dont use mms much!! just thought i would feed that back :cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Am I the only one here that doesn't care about the battery life? Too many posts go on about battery life but who really cares we all own chargers, just plug it in :p I regularly get through the day and end up with 70-80% after a 15-16 hour day using it but still as I go to bed stick it on charge just because I can and does no harm whatsoever. Just can never get my head round the whole trying to drag every second out of your battery and people that turn features like data off to get a little bit more life out of it, its a smartphone and should be used like one. Anyway just my 2 cents seeing as most posts recently go on about battery so much.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Galactus:
I like to know that my battery will last if I'm out of the house with my mates from lets say 2pm to 3am. During that time lots of music playing, video watching, picture taking and game playing will commence. It's nice to know that you can use the phone loads when your out and not have to worry that the battery will die. Hence if I can do something within reason (I am not a fan of turning off data :cool:) that will let me get an extra 2 hours of screen time from the phone then i'm always for it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Would not agree to you entirely, its not about saving battery by turning this and that off, the objective is to reduce wastage...:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D3_:
Yes, root it, then flash this and you'll be on KJ3.

Settings > about phone will show you your baseband, so unless you install a new modem that won't change.

Type *#1234# into your dialer and it will show you the ROM you're on (PDA)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Yeah I'm the same I like knowing I can get good battery life and for your same reasons is why I stick it on charge every night as wouldn't want to risk it running out just to show I can get 2 days or more use. Just think people go on about it too much.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
70-80% after a 15-16 hour day usage is what i call good battery life........i just got my i9100 and have been testing out ROMS and mine definitely doesn't last that long.

If hyperdroid is giving that great screen time etc....i may have to try it out. Im 5hr's on the battery and have 1hr of screen time with 70% left which seems alright. But i saw someone with hyperdroid getting like 6-7hrs of screen time?!?!?!?

Is that possible on the stock 1650mah battery.....6-7hrs of screen time??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
It is possible to get 6-7 hrs screen time with stock battery. Heck i get 4hrs min screen on time...But i agree with AVRS its not all about battery life its about performance and stability which this rom has everything.:) Some may not agree with people going on about battery but there are some people out there who do take an interest and do care because they like to have opinions on how to better their performance..So if that means having people posting screenshots of there battery life and helping others at the same time im all for it:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Dang....how much percentage do u have left with your 4 hrs screen time on avg???

I need to switch over to hyperdroid haha.....i've been trying out checkrom and i can probably squeeze out 4hrs right before it dies -.-

Also, do you guys use the TJK kernel thats included here or siyah/speedmod?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Ever since i switched over to Hyperdroid which is from the beginning(awww sweet memories:rolleyes:) i always use the kernel that comes with the rom..In my eyes the best damn kernel i have ever tried... and the percentage that i have left is 35 -40% and thats no lie... The more you use it the more you will get out of the battery and the screen on time builds....If you leave it on and off you can still manage about 4hrs again but that is over the duration of say 2days which is still good in my eyes...Its not about what screen on time you get its going through a day without having to charge it...Thats the whole point and i can do it with this rom
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Yes very true...thats kinda wat I'm going for. Make it last from morning till bed. (iPhone = great party phone.....last till 3am in the morning lol)

Also, can't wait for the ICS build you guys are working on ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tranquillo:
@pirate666: just search for 'modems' in the sgs-general section, there you find a list of all modems. I went from KI4 to KI3, and everything is fine now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I use the ROM coz it's smooth and gives good overall performance. Unfortunately though my phone doesn't seem to agree with any kernels that come with the ROM's as still get a freeze every 2-3 days but I take it as it is and that doesn't really bother me, after all I'm flashing custom firmware so comes with the territory.

Just as a point about what I'm running, it's just base ROM plus my own VRTheme version of Vert's ICS Theme done by myself. I've not got setcpu or voltage control as thought I'd just leave all that as stock but if I was to get vc what's a good governor to try other than the standard. Would OndemandX be the next to try? I don't want to uc/uv especially as my phone isn't liking stock so definitely doesn't like uc. This is a step forward from previous versions though as that was 1 freeze per day this at least goes 2 or 3 :D Next version maybe 4 days it's all about progress ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmmm... definitely a kernel issue mate.

My suggestion is Siyah, pop the governor into conservative and scheduler on deadline or bfq. I'll be surprised if you still have issues after doing that.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Yeah I thought. When using VR I've now moved over to Siyah which is fine but like I did at first with VR I like to stick with the kernels that are made with/for the ROM's to give them time to develop and then go try elsewhere :) Will give your suggestions a go though but have also popped up my 200Mhz bottom end up by 25mv to see if that helps when waking up as it's generally as soon as I select an app after waking up from sleep.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah, that's a good idea. It takes a while to find stable voltages. To be brutally honest though, I never thought conservative gov could be as smooth as I've got it running now.

If you want, I can PM you my voltage settings as well.. :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
I use my own surgeon and the stock kernel and have no freezes whatsoever. I flash a lot as well. I don't think its a kernel issue or we'd be getting it as well.

Instead of having to move to a different kernel unnecessarily, why don't you tell us the exact steps you take after flashing a new rom?

Do you do a full wipe or upgrade and flash on top of what you have?

Do you you restore any Apps after flashing? And how?

Can you check if you have any remnants of old init.d stuff that could cause problems for you?

Since you keep voltage, governors and schedulers at stock... which is the same thing I do but I don't get any freeze's, it could be an app causing this. When the freeze happens, what app is running? Can you reproduce the freeze? Can you get a logcat?

When you say 'freeze' please describe what you mean by this. Do you have to do a battery pull or press the power button long enough to force shutdown the device?

In any case I'm pretty confident its not kernel related. I don't like jumping to conclusions and rarely jump to another kernel without finding the root cause of the problem.

Lets find the root cause here cause it there was a freeze that was kernel related wed have seen that before you guys.

For every problem, if you're willing to find it, there is a possible solution. Changing kernels without first determining the root cause of the issue is counterproductive if you're not sure the issues you have are in fact kernel related.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
Definitely a kernel issue? Based on what information are you drawing this definite conclusion?

What kind of freezes were happening? What app was running? Was it a clean update or an upgrade over a current setup? What did the logs say? What tells you that its definitely kernel related? If I'm on the same base same kernel but different surgeon or theme and not getting any freezes can that still be a definite conclusion that its kernel related? If the kernel comes at all stock UC and UV could something be wrong with the phone itself? Or on full stock it works as it should?

For issues that pop up we look for differences and changes to work towards the root cause. In this case the difference is the theme or surgeon and maybe the quality of the silicon used in our Phones.

I can't say what the issue is without more data, but I'm definitely sure that its not 'definitely a kernel issue'. It could be but not definitely... without the benefit of more data.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ok, I did phrase my reply slightly wrong.

I was speaking from experience. To be honest though, there isn't any evidence to suggest that it isn't a kernel related issue either.

Plus, him switching kernels.... which takes less than 10 mins (with enough time for a backup) isn't a bad idea. Since it will help discover if it is due to the kernel or not.

I don't want to argue in this thread, I don't support arguing on XDA either. All I did was present him with a possible solution. Or at least a starting point to find it.

The end. :)

So what is best modem combo with androidmeda? Would you mind to provide me with a link pls thx.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Galactus:
This is personally the best kernel I've used on my SGS2 and doubt its a kernel problem. More likely a phone/app problem. Best place to start as always is a full wipe and a run of the phone for a few hours, then start adding apps back on till it freeze's again. As pong said though, if it was the kernel causing problem's i'm sure more than one person would be getting it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cliff03:
also another question

I'm wondering if i go ahead with the flash i'll get the yellow triangle will i be able to remove it like 2 weeks later when my USB jig gets here?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
You will not get the yellow triangle flashing ROM's with CWM recovery only if you use Odin to flash ROM's.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cliff03:
Ok but im still stock i'll cf root with kg2 and the flash with androidmeda so after this procedure there is no yellow triangle?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
If you're on stock, and you are going to flash cf root via Odin then you will get the yellow triangle.

Also, there isn't one best modem for everybody. I'd say start with KI3 and then try some others if it isn't satisfactory. Link to sticky modem thread is in my sig.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes this ROM's doesn't touch the bootloaders so you should be fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes, just turn your phone and plug it in. It should then automatically remove the triangle, wipe the binary counter and set the firmware to samsung official. Even if you're running a custom rom. :D

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
My point exactly... we need more data before we say its "definitely a kernel issue"...

We need more data. Speaking from my experience, if it was a kernel issue, the team should be getting freezes... on any configuration.

The starting point to find the problem is to answer some of the questions I asked to shed some light unto the exact system setup and how, why and when the freezes occur. Flashing another kernel, albeit a 10 minute job at most for the serial flasher, will not shed light on what may be causing the freeze and thus not help us fix it if indeed it was a kernel issue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Do we flash the kernel separately after doing base & surgeon?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
no need to flash separately if you plan to stick to the officially supported kernel. its already included when you flash the base.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
ok thats wat i was thinking.....thank you. It's booting up!! going through the setup.....can't wait to see how it is

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Hi Pongster and thanks for your reply. Ok to answer your questions:

I started from fresh wiping data, cache and dalvik each time I've flashed as went from VR3 to vXD, back to VR3 and then to v3 and being on different bases don't like doing non-wipe.

When doing both vXD and v3 after flashing I booted, then went back to CWM and flashed doc's transparent curtain theme (Lucid I think).

I then restore some user apps which I don't have the apk's for such as Barcode scanner, battery life widget, Dolphin browser, Endomondo, ESPN goals, facebook, root explorer, swiftkey and XDA as after a data wipe they no longer sync with my google account and don't appear in my apps in Market. I use Titanium Backup Pro to do this and never restore system apps or data.

I'll happily check if there are any remnants of old init.d stuff if you can guide me with what you'd like me to check.

Each time it's frozen I've been using Gmail, SMS or received a phone call and normally soon after waking up. When it froze last using Gmail, I went into it via an email notification in the notification dropdown, with SMS it was when going to reply except for last night which was while I was going into check some settings but didn't get that far. The phone call freeze was definitely after coming out of sleep. I haven't reproduced the freeze's as they just happen randomly and will happily get a logcat but will have to find out how first which I know there's plenty of information about on the forums so will look into it for you incase it happens again.

By freeze I mean the phone is no longer responsive, the screen is stuck on whatever I had open and the touch button lights are stuck on. I don't pull the battery I just force it to power off by holding the power button.

I too don't like changing kernels before finding the issue so always happy to test these things. Just for some phone background, on my last couple of setups pre HyperDroid, I had VR3 with ninph 2.0.5 and used to get the phone reset every few days instead of a freeze so then changed over to Siyah 2.2 as ninph's development stopped and didn't get any further freeze's or resets and never had any issues when running stock before I got into flashing my phone. I personally think my phone must just be quite sensitive to something which is why I try not to play with voltage and clock settings.

Since last night as a test I thought I'd try out your Solo governor so will see how this goes but so far the phone seems to be doing fine.

Thanks

Hi guys,

Tell me please is there a way to download files greater than 4GB via torrents (useing aDownloader). It shows up "The current version of Android doesn't support download of files greater than 4GB"....

Supprisingley aTorrent works:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
That could be due to the fat32 filesystem limitations.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p_max:
4GB is limitation of FAT system. Propably You need to have external SD-Card fortmated in NTFS to download files larger then 4GB
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oofol:
It's not about FAT32... The directory I'm downloading to is extUSB which is NTFS.

How ever I tried to download few torrents with aTorrent and it accepts files at more than 4GB but ther's no progress in download... There are enough seeds... There is no progress with smaller files also...

I'v just doublechecked - the USBstick is FAT...
