I even tried to restore a CWM backup I had from before I flashed the surgeon but I still get no boot logo :(

Boot animation works as it should though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Boot logo is black screen in this surgeon. Do you have black screen or ...draw failed? It works fine for me (black screen).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yhrn:
After flashing the surgeon (first flash base, then surgeon) - "draw failed"

I then flashed base again and just one of the pongster themes - "draw failed"

I then restored a CWM backup of 2.9.0 and the same pongster theme where boot logo worked - still "draw failed"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
boot logo is contained in param.lfs which is not flashed when flashing only theme or restoring backup, it comes from surgeon. try flashing surgeon again or search this thread I remember people had similar issues. to get back standard samsung logo you need to flash param.lfs from stock rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Go to post 11, the hotfix post...

New select arrow and new notification button more transparent in statubar menu.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brockyneo:
hi guys im a bit confused on what files i need to install rom for the first time can someone help thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
download base. then once you download the base you have either the choice of surgeons that you want to flash or just flash a theme over the base.:) everything is in post 9 or 10 and all the info you need to set everything up
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:

Ok, this thread is too freaking big. I cant use the search function properly.

Hi all. I have a question anbout Chainfire 3D driver. My phone froze when installing the Chainfire 3D driver and when I tried to install shaders. Had to pull the battery but when I restarted, the driver was installed and so were the shaders. INstalling Chainfire 3D through CWM went without a problem. Is CWM the only way to go?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No, Jkay and Pongster had a fight, and Jkay beat Pongsters ass so all his mods were banned from this ROM. Sorry.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Look for an answer to that question on chainfire 3D thread :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
I use Chainfire 3D with no problems here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pirate.666:
Oh, you're right. Thank you :D

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

I forgot to mention that the freezing problem with Chainfire was in the previous Androidmeda build. Tried it on 2.9.0 and it installed without any probs. Thank you for you feedback guys!

I know you can revert back to stock dpi 240. Which i did just so i can install the apps from mrket that i wanted that the 192 dpi didnt allow. But is there a way to revert back to 192 while still keeping the apps? The 192 dpi is just too gorgeous. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pirate.666:
You can use DPI Changer from Market

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
yeap, just download it and then revert back...

untick the compatibility mode off in spare parts app
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] brockyneo:

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

do you guys think different launchers effect battery ? or all is the same
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
@s2d4 The battery performance on your phone is exceptional I must say. I am attaching some data from my phone from 100% charge to 8%. Kindly guide me around the areas that I could capitalize on. 3G and google sync was on all throughout. Also involves some music playing (15 min) and lot of xda, facebook and twitter usage while the phone is on.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
you can find it on the market i believe.

With a hardware accelerated launcher, you don't need as much cpu to over compensate for the other launchers.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

I think Matriak31 can.. his phone seems to be better than mine with battery consumption..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yhrn:
I really don't know what I (or my phone) was up to last time it tested DVC because when testing it again last night the difference between DVC and no DVC was completely obvious to me, even without raising bass, Stereo X or anything else. Sorry about that :o, all is fine, nothing to see here, please move along...

I decided to not change any mount options since the new PA v2.0.1 which just came has a setting for disabling automatic library scans and I seldom change my library. Feels better to leave any optimizations you guys included to begin with.

Thanks for all your help!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] isotoper:
Hi,

This kernel supports BLN.

Knowing that BLN is a battery consumer, if I don't use the bln application will I "feel"

the bln battery consumption or not ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
I dont use facebook or twitter,

The last result didn't have the same talk time as yours, as you can see from the 6hrs 40mins result. Phone calls do eat up quite a lot..

I always use governors that'll use the 100Mhz step, plus I UC/UV everything I could.. and then just execute scripts when I know I am going to need the extra processing power.

WIFI seems to eat less than over 3G, My wifi is always on so it latches onto the wifi networks that I am around at home or out..

no network-location

i only get a location fix with gps, not with network. what can i do?

i'm on 2.9.0 and docs surgeon, thanks a lot for that great stuff!!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
You won't feel it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sreg:
Doc, I'm trying to make your theme for my taste, I miss just one detail that I can not find: if I change totally the icons of the framework-res.apk (drawable-hdpi) with those of petsasj, I get the color of I want transparency, I conclude that one or more icons to make it so, but I can not understand what they are! correct? thanks for any suggestions
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] galaxy1210:
Not Market download your device?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Not bothering at all!! ;)

Yeah, ask in their respective thread, sorry bout the vert bb confusion :)

But I would assume that the themes work since they post every release here too :?

Anyhow, about their themes I am certain that you will find more support there on whatever issues you bump into (if any)

Usually when theme is release on a thread, the first posts talk about compatibility with roms, if this is there, it shoild be compatible, if not on their list, then ask them, if not in their list but it works, feedback them about it, they will be happy to hear it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Mooove! XD

Gps is gps location, network (cell towers) triangulate location

So if you get stron signal from 1 or 2 cell towers only the triangulation wont work.

(keyword is three ;) )
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Dont understand, u are trying to co.bine lucid with petsasj, ok, then what?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sreg:
yes, I would like to get the background of the pop up of petsasj, in fact your have a lot of transparency and its a shade of blue, more readable for my views
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
So you want only specific pngs luckily for you, no need to look at xmls or other apks.

the folder on framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

uncompress it and look at the pngs, find the ones you need drop them into the lucid theme at the same location...that should do it ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sreg:
That's the point! I do not understand what pngs I have to replace. I do not want the work done by someone, I can change various things in the theme, battery icon, other icons, but they just do not know identify:(

Is there a guide how to make a surgeon?

Thx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
Works here at 160 and 240 dpi. Please try to search the thread first.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malhor:
FYI, I had the same issue once after installing some app (don't remember which). I had set the security (pin code) on (and of course, the digits needed to unlock where not accessible :rolleyes: ). I managed to solve it by rebooting (only way to key the pin code). After that, I activated the "show when secure" option in JKay deluxe settings app. Never had the issue again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] galaxy1210:
240 dpi. errors this engraving for as the no
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
Nope, you learn by investigating the existing ones. You'll find a lot of info by reading the thread however.

Surgeon guide

As petsasj said, no dev guide, Although you get some hints at post 2 (surgeon)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18115859&postcount=2

and 4 (vrtheme)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18115859&postcount=4

Try also to unzip one of the surgeons and look in META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

this script is usually well commented and clear enough to easily understand what is happening behind the scenes

1 recommendation if you plan to go forward : at first, mod 1 thing at a time so you minimize your risk of error ;)

in the new mattedblack surgeon, anyone notice that the calendar is not scaled properly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
I don't understand what you just said.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
Yes, its not scaled properly and will probably never be scaled. I forgot to add that to the notes... I'll add that soon.

If you can help fix it, we'll be grateful. I don't use it personally.

if i flashed base+RTL fix - can i flash a theme without it messing with the RTL fix?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cdfs:
I'm using Pure Grid Calendar Widget with Launcher Pro. After fiddling a bit with settings of Launcher Pro I can get now a 5x5 Calendar that is nearly properly scaled over my 160dpi and still has room for another widget. With twlauncher I had no luck. I'm on mattedblack surgeon with 2.9.0 base. Not a real fix, but at least an alternative to those, who need a calendar.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I found a bug on 2.9.0... but not related to Rom! (mindfuck? LOL)

Clockwork Recovery 4.0.0.2 won't set permissions right on installation!

How did i detect this bug?

Installed the TW kernel 2.5 which includes Clockwork Recovery 4.0.0.2 and then:

Format /data (two times)

Format /system (two times)

Format Cache and dalvik cache two times!

After the formats are done i did installed 2.9.0 base twice and started the system:

Conclusion: Youtube app and market have the wrong permissions set and won't show in app drawer! (The double install of base was to make sure the permissions were set)

After this is done i installed LuLz Kernel Build 15 XWKJ2 which includes Clockwork Recovery 4.0.1.5:

So during the installation i don't think the kernel does not matter so the procedure was the same as before.

Full wipe of system and install base twice and start the system and guess what?

Market and youtube apps show in app drawer!

I did this test in each instalation during 3 days each!

In the first test i get random freezes of the system, and it auto-reboots afterwords!

In the second test after the instalation of base, i'm testing the system in the same conditions, doing the same steps, with the same apps installed (i have documented the steps so i can diagnostic this the right way), and i have accomplished a stable system, with no freezes! All stable!

My guess is that Clockwork Recovery 4.0.0.2 doesn't set the permissions the right way!

Anyway after much testing, hundres of times in reboot and formatting caches

After many freezes i achieved a stable install with no reboots or freezes!

Why this post?

Just a little finding i did, and that i want developers to know! :D

Feel free to correct me if i'm doing something wrong! I wanna learn with errors :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sreg:
Meanwhile, thank you. I did some tests: first, I only changed the ones you mentioned, but nothing, then I changed all the pngs so yeah! so it must be something else that changes the background pngs. to be clear what I mean look attached, maybe it will be some other blablabla.png, you must be more scientific!:D

really thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
It's really hard to remember off the top of my head. It's certainly a .9.png, so i'd grep/search for .9.png in drawable-hdpi.

How to upgrade market to 3.3.11 ?

Hi

I just instaled latest version of Andromedia with Docs Surgeon ... is there any chance to upgrade market to latest version ?

I dont like this old one and I have 2 google market accounts and old market dont support it :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ramsheart:
Hmm... i dont have that problem with default kernel.

My step after log into recovery is:

1. Wipe data factory reset.

2. Wipe cache partition.

3. Format cache, system, data.

4. Wipe dalvik cache.

5. Install 2.9.0 base.

6. Install docs surgeon 2.2

7. Reboot system.

8. First boot

9.reboot into recovery again to flash back to 240dpi

And done. I can use market and youtube normally

I really keep in don't understanding why and how you all have this performances.

When I unplug my phone at 100% battery at 00:00AM and wake up at 9:00AM after 9 hours I have a minimum 25% of battery consumption/drop and the phone keep in deepsleep mode for all 9 hours.

This with SYNC ON, DATA ON.

I wonder WHY and HOW????:eek::eek::eek:

I have H3G carrier in Italy (that is known not to have a great land coverage here), my friend the same results with the same carrier and distro.

We use 2.9.0 (with default TWD 2.5 kernel) and Docs transparent Surgeon 2.2

I have deleted the second SocialHUB app (that Surgeon doesn't remove), FotaKill and FotaClient, samsung Keyboard.

I keep stock TWLauncher and don't install the LauncherPro (I don't like it)

I'm using NOFRILLS set up with 100-1200 Mhz conservative and I/O Scheduler deadline.

ANY ADVICE?????
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rnpasinos:
apologies for bumping myself... but just want to add another information... this started happening when i flashed 2.9.0... never had a f/c on go weather when i was with 2.8.7... no idea with burn the rope, i just installed it...

i just restored my phone to stock rom (ki3), rooted, installed 2.9.0, installed matted black... still force closes... any help would be appreciated... :-)

Do I need to calibrate the battery after installing only a new kernel ? (not the whole rom)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
all i can advice from my own experience of getting good battery life is.:

if you are home and use wifi turn data off.

make sure when your screen is off to make sure the wifi sleeps to.(you can do that through settings, wifi and network , advanced and wifi sleep policy)

i do not see the point in pushing email. i always make sure i either use gmail which i check manually or either have it synced so at least once a day you get your mail.

i always have my whatsapp on sync as you need to know who is mesaging me.

i always do not bother with underclocking as it takes more time for the cpu to process something longer rather if you was oc actually or staying default frequencies...So i always leave stock cpu clock levels now..No overclocking or underclocking.

and tad undervolt and thats it..i always manage to get 5hrs min screen on time now.:) also depends on the governor you are using
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SupraN0va:
Nope. As I know.
