Like previous post said,

Biggest part is how you use the phone. You wont find anyone with 6hours of heavy usage have 3days of batterylife. Other issue that is a problem for many that complain about battery life is apps causing wakelocks (interupts your phone deep sleep, like programs syncing data).

Ive gotten 4d10h as most with screen on for exactly 4 hours before the last % drained with LeoMar 2.7.1 ROM (and would get better with this ROM with same usage, since it drains lower when in deep sleep and equal on usage), althought that was with DATA off every time i didnt use the phone. And that was without doing any real demanding stuff while screen was on either, i did some surfing and stuff but mostly phone calls, sms and syncings of news/sports/weather apps.' On the other hand, on my normal usage i rarely get more then 2d. (When 3g surfing, playing games, benchmarking, HD recording, youtubing and downloading/installing apps from market when i use the phone, rarely can get more then 5hours of screentime doing that stuff, althought i use pretty light screen, autobrightness is to low to me as i like to enjoy the colors the screen brings.)

So for some people, they could probaly from my experience say "oo amazing best ROM i got over 4d with decent usage"!

But if they would use the phone alot (like you usually do, especially when trying new ROMs) battery wouldnt even last a day and they would say batterylife suck.

And if you notice higher then 0.3-0.7% battery / hour with this screen while in deepsleep you probaly either have wakelocks or should try another PHONE version (KG5 / KI4 worked best for me). If you can live with manually syncing everything, and that the phone doesnt search for your location it does a big change to batterylife.

Also must give you creds to the kernel, best one ive tried so far, phone was noticeable quicker with this kernel then when i tried the KI3/KI8 CF root ones and speedmod+ninphs, even if the benchmarks was the same or slightly lower with this kernel real performance is still noticable better, not a moment of lagg so far anywhere in the phone! 92-115ms on average at setcpu's "short bench" test while other kernels would get on average 140-150 :D

Roxxor Rom here ! ^^

Hi, did a search about updates and full wipes...

so lets assume that im about to flash the FULL WIPE version of 5.2.21, and i skip the next update(1) if its full wipe again.. But future updates(2) have no full wipe.

- Will i be able to have the features that (1) has if i skip it and upgrade/flash update (2).

EDIT::: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20986208&postcount=8681

Just saw this, Does that mean that this is the last version for full wipe due to kernel/scripts?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
All updates are full ROM's which will include the latest features available, you rarely get a minor update to flash over the previous ROM only if a really small change had to be implemented which has only been once. It's always recommended to do a wipe if moving bases so the fact is if you skip an update that is to a new base and they make improvements on that base and release another version of the same base which is no wipe then you flash that you could carry over issues from the previous base. You can still flash it but support won't be as free coming if you didn't do the recommended wipe to move to the new base.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leongzxc:
Thanks for the explanation! :)

But i guess i should wait as the thread has been re-opened for something new...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
I can do nonwipe, with the risk of bugs (big ones). If we choose full wipe is cause:

We found to have better battery results

We found increase in performance,

We intend a no-bugs rom

We always test in fullwipe ;).

We could always provide the nonwipe. But then our reply to every bug reported will be as simple as: "Do a full wipe and try again" (which will end in an unequivocal isame response). Hope you get the point in full wipe :).

We could go even further in experimental branch here.

Choose to wipe or not to wipe inside recovery ;). (we have that as a test version already) but is very very experimental still.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leongzxc:
Actually,

Just reformatted my S2 and flashed this successfully! Now waiting for it to boot up. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aamirleo55:
thanx god... u guyz r back... was just missing u devs...

thanx a lot for coming back...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ngoonee:
Welcome back guys =). As requested, here's logcat/wakelocks/dmesg/kmsg immediately after the 'power button does not turn screen on but this is not a hard lock' thing some of us are getting.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KeitaroSenpai:
Wonderful you're back :D My phone missed you a lot ;)

One question about the surgeons. Versions and screenshots are different between this thread and what I can find on the HyperdroidTool on my phone.

Is it because the screenshots haven't been updated or does the surgeon's server changed with alternative versions ?

Anyway continue your work ! you were unbelievable on HD2 and now you rock the SGS2. Can't wait to test your future rom :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gtizon:
Team,

Been with Hyperdroid SGS2 since the beginning and my best advice to everyone is always do a full wipe. This lessens the chance of you discovering a "bug". I'm no expert but whenever I test for these guys, never did I have a "bug" for beta releases except for the ones they have identified already. Full wipe is the way to go! Just helping and sharing. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] avss:
To all of interest.

I dont write much often here on this topic, and thats mainly because the Hyperdroid Androidmeda rom is working fantasticly here on my device.

As this XDA forum is a big, BIG forum with all kinds of people walking in and out all the time 24/7 i hope that especially those people who visit this Hyperdroid topic will have a 'lil more understanding as for what it takes to produce such a fine rom and keeping it updated every time something new comes out.

Pongster wrote a very clear message just before the thread was closed and frankly that message said it all.

Lets respect those who a freely and enthousiastic build something we are all very happy about!

As ICS is coming closer and closer, i can't wait to see what kind of magic the team of Hyperdroid have in store for us.

But in the meantime, The Hyperdroid team have my full admiration on what they all did so far.

I'm very happy they all shared it with us and i'm glad to see this thread reopened, up and running again.

Guyz....a very big thumbs up for you all!

Their is as i see it a need for developers rom builders etc to be able to post the details get input of true bugs etc possibly in a locked post bug reports by invitation only . The muppets posts can then just float outside the devs line of site to be answered by other users .

Performance while playing youtube videos is low! In the Youtube app, when I watch video and HQ is enabled it's not smooth. In youtube site (desktop version), when selected 720p it's not smooth either! :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
It's because your brain is not good enough to process the smoothness. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fintara:
My brain is superb :P :cool:

I have < 20 apps installed, and before 2 days videos played smooth. Now, without any changes, it stops for 0.5 sec on every 3 seconds, average. And it's only when the quality is "high" (720p). Some mkv files have playback issue too (MX Video Player). I checked if the problem persists on Checkrom, and it's perfect there, but I'm fan and I like Hyperdroid since I tried it on my HD2...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petzku:
Why do you use mx video player when the samsung's own player works the best with 720p and 1080p.. hw-decode..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fintara:
In my opinion MX works slightly better. It support hw and sw decode too. But this is not the point. ^^ I'll wait for the new Hyperdroid version and I will wipe once again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haasgo:
Have u played with cpu clock or govenors? I have kenobi and default clock and it works fine here. As doc said do a full wipe and then have a look on default options with stock player. Otherwise its hard to tell where the fault is. Could be anything atm u understand....or maybe post some logs. Check pongsters sig and dont forget that it will only be representative after a full wipe...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leongzxc:
I have tried searching this thread with the keywords

"task manager"

"more than"

"applications"

"autostart"

(related to task manager and autostart of apps on boot)

but none of the results are what i want to know..

so i shall ask here :D

I know its not necessary to go into Task Manager and click Clear Memory

But after every reboot i DO click Clear Memory to stop certain apps that i dont use..

Why does my phone end up having to clear more than 30 apps?

Will it affect any performance? (i did a full wipe and reinstalled my preferred necessary apps instead of installing a bundle of unused apps)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbutandola:
You shoudn't be doing that. You should let Android handle it.

I would link you to a very good post from Noed that explains it better here. You could search the forum or google for more explanation as well. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
This +1 you can also use Gemini app manager to disable autoruns.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haasgo:
The result is that performance will suffer. Android keeps them in memory to have them in queue when needed again. If u clear memory services have to restart again. Best thing would be to deinstall unneeded apps such as vlingo or swype if not needed. It will consume more power to restart apps again and again rather than to keep them in queue. Try app quarantine to disable such apps or do sum reading on surgeons. I use docs surgeon and everything worka as it should. A good app ia betterbatzerstats as well to monitor the wakelocks and services u dont need.

Keywords: surgeon, betterbatterystats, wakelock, freeze....for example

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Galactus:
I've been doing this for so long now. I love a lot of the games I have (Contract killer, Zombie killer, GT Racing etc) However some of these have stupid services that run on autoboot (Disabling notifications in their apps doesn't stop this) so I just disable them with Gemini. Their are a lot of apps that I use maybe once or twice in a week that just don't need to be there

Let me ask a question at the same time though. Other than using LBE Guard, what other apps can stop specific apps using GPS. Annoys me that the facebook app does this every now and then.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khartaras:
You are impatient, ignorant, lazy and a colossal ninny. If you were twice as smart, you'd still be stupid. You should should be banned from XDA. Honestly, I see posts like this every day and even though idiots like these are flamed every day, they STILL don't get it.

/rant
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Pdroid, need a patch, but its far better than LBE, I made a patch for hyperdroid and posted it in this thread, works perfectly for me.

It is always there, and doesn't have to start on startup like LBE so it will never leak data.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] XfrostX:
Hey guys! I am on the latest hyperdroid and I have an issue with music and market. I changed my DPI and installed the Market Fix with LCD Density Modder Pro. However, every time I open music i get an error and cant use it. Also, if I try to buy something on the market I get an error mid-way to purchasing the app. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Galactus:
Cheers bruvah, saw PDroid before but wasn't feeling the installation process. I'll try your patch tho ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Its pretty easy, and won't conflict with most mods, all you have to do is cwm flash the zip then install the app from the market!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gtizon:
Did just that man. Great stuff. Thanks! How do you usually determine which permission to block or allow for an app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Just whatever, as far as personal info goes you can put it to random for most things.

The rest is a matter of experimenting, some stuff like phone state is so an app knows you have an incoming call and can pause, if you dont know what a permission is Google is, its all documented! Good luck.

Stock Calculator

I had just realized calculator had disappeared today.. must of been recent update or something..

Heres a link to stock calendar APK for anyone that had same issue.. Download.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noed:
Great app, thanks for that!

I wish there was a way to batch disable autostarts... so many... how do you do after a full wipe? Disable one by one again?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Yup, unfortunately so, its not fun, but that's life.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
First things first.....first you say Youtube. Now you say mkv. If it's the latter I have an idea what is the reason, if ur videos are on external_sd. Youtube wise it shouldn't have micro-lags.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LordFernando:
No problem here with Mkv 720p files on my external Sd card, with stock player. All players that I try, have bad quality image, or no smoothinesssssss. Stock player lack options but he is very good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yaronAD:
You can Use Rom ToolBox app (market) to batch disable auto starts

Create a list with Titanium Backup by using filters! :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yaronAD:
HyperDroid community :

In case you don't know:) - It is very important to backup your EFS folder

(especially for those like me... with the ORD sickness and the messing with your phone and ROM once a day! ):cool:

EFS folder

Is a very sensitive system folder that contains Phone-specific information such as the IMEI (encrypted in the nv_data.bin), wireless devices MAC addresses, product code (also in the nv_data.bin), and much more. Often users trying to change product codes or trying to unlock the mobile will end up corrupting data in this location. botem line youll get a mesege saying Baseband unknown

So If you didn't backup it yet (better to do so just after turning on for the first time, but if your rom is stable it is OK also) :

1>>> XDA WAY ( thx to lyriquidperfection )

2>>> Market way : HC-KTOOL

Love & peace and be safe

.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Hyperdroid automatically backs EFS up when you install the baserom ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noed:
Yes, I do that for freezing... I want to disable autostarts without freezing
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noed:
I use that too, but it filters by event, while Gemini filters by app and let you disable all events of an app at once

Yeah, use that, there is no problem
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dave2:
I flashed the base. Now I want to flash a surgeon/theme. I believe you do it through the HyperDroid parts tool in settings? But I can't find anything at all. Just says no updates? Where are these surgeons/themes?

Before you ask, yes I read through the OP several times. Some parts are not very well explained. Or am I just a complete n00b here?

Guys, I need you help, please. I'm using this rom for a while, everything is great, but i contacts I can see just contacts from sim and phone, I have on google account lot of cantacts, but when I select display option, to view contacts from sim, phone and google account, contact from google account is not displayed.... Anyone have same problem? And how resolve? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
can you use the market?

maybe your google account has signed out for some reason
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
As Steve says, I rebooted the other day and then found all my accounts were removed from the phone so I had to re-add my Google account along with sign back into facebook app etc. I hadn't changed anything just rebooted as my message tone kept skipping. After reboot this was fine and after re-adding my accounts Google services were back except they caused serious wakelocks to which another reboot cleared.

My advice is as Steve's re-add your Google account and if you wish reboot the phone as I did as that cleared all my issues after the previous reboot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Boonyard:
Weirdly i decided to try this today and then it reopened!

Couple of questions, the comma hasn't appeared on my keyboard after flashing the lucid theme. Also, I can't seem to perform a cwm backup in recovery. It says no space.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Did you flash the theme or the surgeon? I may be wrong but the theme probably won't modify the keyboard but it definitely is a function of the surgeon as is in the changelog on page 1. Second question have you got an external SD as this is the default location. If you don't and want to backup to internal choose the relevant option in the backup menu, think it was the bottom one off the top of my head.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xBlackDroid:
About the cwm backup, you can use the recovery image, because a bug of 5.x.x version
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Boonyard:
Thanks lads. I had flashed the theme not the surgeon, sorted now.

Also, backup was possible through cwm app by pointing it to internal.

Thanks!

Does anyone use siyah kernel with this Rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] carlz0206:
hi first of all thanks for the great rom and im happy that the team is back:) been using this rom for a month now and tried some new rom when the thread closed and all i can say is that this is truly a placebo free rom :)

been trying some stuff and learning things like vrtheme and surgeons and done some simple theming and porting.just want to ask and sorry if this may sound a nood question,what do i need in order to view and edit some .xml file?do i need linux os for that or some software?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
You have to decompile it then compile back after your edits b4 using it in vrtheme.

Provided the XML hasn't changed in later versions, the same XML modification will work. So you don't have to do it over and over again.

Hey Hyperdroid Team!

I was browsing though the SII forums and i came across a calendar wake lock issue, I was wondering if the fix is already implemented in this rom or will be in the next one..

or if its not even an issue in this rom all together.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1383929&highlight=calendar+wake+lock

Thanks for reading, just trying to help your team make the best rom possible :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Have you checked if you have it first?? I have never ever seen that wakelock come up as an issue on my gs2.....

But anyway, let the dev decided if its required or not.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dkimmortal:
I have yet to test it for myself..i doubt i have seen them usually my wakelocks are katana fb and that alarm manager etc
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DobermanS:
The wakelock of calendar alarm is true, checked on one synced to exchange.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
That explains it.

I've specifically not used anything with exchange since gapps does it better.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dkimmortal:
Yes one more thing i was seeing but im not sure where i should post this, in recovery, you guys have switched the built in sd card and extra sd card i like it this way, but the option in recovery that allows you to format the sd card, formats the extra sd card and not the built-in one..

I dont speak for everyone but isnt it better if the sd format option in recovery formats your in built sd card with all your user app data instead of the extra sd card. Then it feels like a cleaner phone..(ORD :D)

But then include the warning to back up your pics and titanium backups to the extra sd card or somwhere else

What do you think Hyperdroid Team? (fears the short 'no' D: )
