[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
I actualy wipe all partitions first,

/cache

/system

/data

Then flash base rom, and without rebooting flash my surgeon....then boot. Config jkay qnd uncheck compatibility in spareparts and wait around five minutes..........then reboot...and then setup my google account etc.

About chainfire kernel....when I softbrick (happens to me a looot when doing kernels) , I flash a stock kernel trough ODIN. That is the only way to assure it gets actually written.

At least that is my opinion, I might be wrong, but that is what I do and it has never failed me.....this mounting stuff is now really intriguing me. Do u use any ntfs mods or formatted external sd in a diff way than fat32?

I remember having this sort of problems but in Samsung Galaxy tablet. alterbridge86 a great developer whom I admire recommend the following procedure to install all of his roms.

Take a look at it, he asks always to flash stock thru odin (formatting internal memory) and then flash his zip file......I must say his roms are bugless and the installation guide is so well written I though it was worth mentioning.

The following guide is for the samsung Galaxy TABLET, not S2, but is easily extrapolated for our devices cause it uses the same partition structure like all samsung devices.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ValVK:
Thank you very much Doc-i will just try as you described-also really "your" way...:-)

About Chainfire-last versions (KJ3 as well) are only for CWM flash.How do i flash it with Odin (as you suggested-to be sure)-must i extract zimage???Or just rename .zip in .tar???What is right way for Odin flash of CWM kernels??

Thank you one ,more time,very usefull as always,wait for your answer about Odin and then flash all in your method...

And sorry, forget-no, i don't use any ntfs mod, i have formatted USB memory and even SD card extra (to be sure for compatibility) in device (in Storage options).

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
So this kept happenning still after a full format? o_O

I still think is an apk misbehaving, otherwise I would be suffering from the same bug (heck we all would be having it)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yaronAD:
THX M8s :)

been thinking about that actually - but couldn't figure how we can replace

/control the I/O schedulers ....It looks like the devs job (correct me if I'm wrong)

It is not simple like using setCPU

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Code Geass:
Hi,

I'm on Galnet MIUI at the moment. Do I just do a wipe install for the base ROM?

OR

Do I have to flash stock ROM again then ROOT and flash the ROM via CWM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
If you already have CWM recovery, then you can go ahead do a backup then full wipe (data, cache and dalvik) and flash the rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Code Geass:
Thanks! I was just worried that it might cause a complication even after I wiped everything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Correct, delete whatever is inside there and either replace it with mine :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Download NoFrills from Market place, its a free app and will let you change IO schedulers :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Nope, only when you switch ROMs without wiping then you can run into serious issues. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
or use voltage control.;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noed:
Awesome, it worked! Thanks a lot Doc

I like this theme, no transparent popups.

One other thing, see the screenshot below, the clock is GREEN, set by Jkay app... how can I change this color?

I think this will happen to most VRThemes, so it's something you shold take a look.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
yes, I am aware of it.

The xml to change its color I guess will be located under framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml......i dont remember quite frankly but it will be about the last line...

of course that, if I theme that, then resources.arsc will have to be included on every theme too for it to work, as values folder is a hidden one.

Since I dont even use clock there, I honestly did not bother doing that :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noed:
Hmm, I will try to find it...

I like the clock change color so I know it's connected to internet

And here's another screenshot :)

I cleared previously installed JKay 13.1.1's cache and then uninstalled it before installing the JKay 13.2 version. Not sure how much of these precautions were required. I am on the latest HyperDroid 3.0 base installed. No theme or surgeon applied yet.

Well, I took around 3+ weeks to try out various combinations. Got results that were sometime dissappointing and sometimes good but not the best. I had tried most of it except for Androidmeda ROM as I had to read abit, understand and then try it. Earlier, I came and asked for quick links and was advised to read it fully before trying.. (which I should have done :()

Why androidmeda, because I found this forum to centrally contain alot of dev personnel and suport of more than handful of ppl to give their help/advice/tips which wasnt available in other threads..Secondly, this thread contains all that you ever need ie rom,kernel,theme which have been tested and verified. Whereas in other forums, i need to go about trying combination while it has already been tried&tested over here.

Thanks alot to the major contribs out there...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:

debug.sf.hw=1

Hi, its me again...hope am not asking alot...could be the last..before i go into my shell..

debug.sf.hw=1 -> although adding this param to build.prop makes the UI to be rendered by GPU than CPU, and make the experience to be snappy...

My doubt is that, isnt GPU more power hungry than CPU and also we are powering one more component GPU, instead of going ahead with the CPU alone. Just my view of battery saving.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Skyline92:
It's actually faster in my case.

I'm on O2 Germany
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
the display is more power hungry, not the gpu... offloading rendering to silicon that is made for graphic reduces the workload the CPU would need to work harder at...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
I am glad it works good for you..

pity it wasnt the case for 10 of the guys that did the alpha tests...

Suggestion: a "lite" edition of kernel

Mrr Pongster and Doctorcete

Gentlemen, would you consider releasing as a separate option a "lite" (or doa, "code blue" or jcvd) edition of your kernel?

with only one governor and io manager providing (in the opinion of your chief kernel developer) the best trade-off in stability-battery-performance.

fully optimized only for those governor and manager.

i'm not a techie, not even a "power" user and with every release i find myself going through the same old 80/20 loop (spending 80% time chasing that

20 improvement is some area, only to find out decrease in another).

since most governors are very good, i'm sure there will be plenty of people to whom the simplest option will save plenty of time (those with

families and developing game of golf should appreciate this especially)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
:DThat made me chuckle:D id remove the s at the end of Mrrs my friend....;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mincorp:
oops.. done, thx -))

that's what happens when english is your fifth language -))
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
hehe no worries...we all human..but that did make me giggle:D thanks bro i needed that. but anyway on a serious note why do you think it would be a benefit of a liter version of the kernel? Just wondering
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
yeah, I was talking about the init.d part since that was his question. Not the build.prop one..

I got more than 1day full and still some % left !

I'm a happy user :D

BTW, I'm using latest version (v3) not XD :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malhor:
Do it dude, its your choice, nobody will take offence if you prefer CM...

Or you can do some analysis on your usage and look for faulty application that would eat your battery ? you never know what you could find :rolleyes:

knowledge is power, but knowledge does not come all cooked, one has to look for it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D3_:
I'm sorry, you seem to think the ROM has bad battery life.

You're wrong.

Giving the devs an ultimatum won't do a thing, because they know there is no problem with battery life in the ROM.

They know they have many, many other users who are happy with the ROM.

You could've asked politely about your battery life, and received help on how to find out what's causing your battery to drain (probably an app abusing wakelocks) and sorted it out, but threatening the devs? That's not going to help you at all.

Install an application called Betterbatterystats and that will help you find out what apk makes your phone awake even if you have screen off. Its a really good apk and has helped me out a few times.. If you install it and post screenshots of partial wakelocks and the rest maybe a few people on here can help you out to tackle the problem..so far not had any problems with regarding battery life and perfomance with both kernel and rom so i have no reason to jump ship if that makes sense..anyway if you need more help let me know:)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Galactus:
Battery life on this rom is a dream so you must have some "funky" app causing wakelocks. For me flashing the Siyah kernel made my battery life worse. Flash the base rom and nothing else and use it for a day and see how your battery life is then. I got lazy with all the cpu tweaking and undervolting, just flung on some Sio I/O and kenobi governor via voltage control and called it a day. I get a days usage easily. Screen on time is normally around 3-4 hours with 2 hours worth of calls and loads of texts (150+)

Edit: PS - Whenever I have a call waiting, the person on the other end of the phone can hear the beeps.......is there a reason for that? Always ends up with both of us saying "oooo who's calling, is it me, or u" lol

No problem. Sorry drain in Kernel :)

Now i am on Stiah Kernel 2.3 screenshot not helped.

Stiah 2.1 - bad kernel. 2.2p - good.

The best tegrak. But development snooze.

May be in andromeda kernel more voltage for cpu and no control to hotplug cpu by default, gpu settings.

--------------------

Installation using the standard procedure (recovery/wipes etc)

1. @pongster, I found an issue related to matted_black theme.

Downloaded and installed base rom. Installed the matted theme and the calendar wasnt adjusting to the default DPi 160.

Then I installed Doc Surgeon and has been fine (with DPI 192)

2. When the phone is in locked state, I would like to have the home key activate it, i.e in addition to the power key. (not the volume keys though). I read somewhere in the xda forums related to file where keyctl could be modified and poor me didnt rem to mark as fav :(. Can somebody pass me the reference.
