[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] demonious:
yes sir =)

erm i found my own fix haha. Seems the instructions might been wrong. cos i flashed delta fix before flashing your surgeon and date and time FC. But i reflashed delta fix again after i had your surgeon just to try and date and time came back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
yeah this time round it was the opposite, flash delta fix after the surgeon.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CoffeeDroid:
petsasj Surgeon

hello thanks for the great rom

If i want to keep some files while using petsasj Surgeon do i remove only this lines from updater script

1-Browser ;

delete("/system/app/Browser.apk"

DownloadProviderUi.apk HTMLViewer.apk

2-Calculator

("/system/app/TouchWizCalculator.apk")

3-File Manager ( MyFiles.apk )

4-Video Player ( TrimApp.apk

VideoEditor.apk VideoPlayer.apk VoiceDialer.apk VoiceSearch.apk VoiceToGo.apk Divx.apk )

also for rtl i just flash rtl after Surgeon or before ?

Flash

1-Hyperdroid-Androidmeda Awesome Arae V1.3.2

2-petsas surgeon odexer Ki3 v1.3

3-delta update two

4- rtl
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
For starters, you cannot have RTL in my surgeon. As stated on my post it will only work for TSM version, which will come in a few days i suppose.

As for the others, please use this spreadsheet to look into what does what. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bergaliden:
Uhm, I kinda like having it there. :D

Is it possible to perhaps make a hotfix like the homebutton fix for the Surgeons? Would be awesome! :D Give the users a choice Doc!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dkimmortal:
Ok installing the base update today as a fresh update after clearing everything/cache/delvic. I am excited about the TSM update, If i install doctorcete 1.4 surgeon, once the TSM surgeon script gets released, should I install base again and then install that script?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Zinyal:
Do I need Setcpu for these things?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
yes you do, otherwise u will be running safe and stock features only.

using setcpu is experimental and dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.:p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jdbpogo:
if i'm not running the scripts, is there a real benefit of using your kernel? i've used ninphetamine2.1.3 and had excellent battery life results with other roms but i've been using it for few days now with so-so results. about the same as your kernel. just wondering if yours has been tweaked for your rom without using the scripts? 'cause it seems to be on a par with the ninph 2.1.3.

i also switched to the ki4 modem. kh3 and ki3 both seem to use more battery when i'm using the data connection. the connection isn't quite as good but the battery draw is less.

i'm coming from litening and crskl (ninph2.1.3 ki4) on which i had about a 0.5% battery drop per hour in standby. on your rom i'm getting about 1.5% per hour drop. all my setcpu and system settings are the same. will running the scripts show a benefit over just setcpu for battery life? or does is have the sane functionality in that regard?

any suggestions?

i really like the rom its fast a pretty stable for me. i do seem to get random FCs every so often but i think its on my end and i'm trying to track down the cause. if worst comes to worse i'll wipe and reflash.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
by sript u mean the surgeons?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jdbpogo:
yea, my bad

NM after rereading 1st page of the thread it is clear that the surgeon does less than ithought it did.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kryptoner:
I installed the latest base and tried to flash Docs surgeon non transparent ki3 v 1.4, but it gives an error - "E: Can't open sdcard/files/docs surgeon non transparent ki3 jkay12 v 1.4.zip (bad)

Plz help. I've put the file is on usb storage and not on sd card
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
Redownload the surgeon
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
There are no batt saving special tweaks on surgeon, no.

What I do on mine is remove apps i dont use, so does pongster, yiannis or sicopat.

If you take for example other builds, you will see that the chef removes some apps on his deployed base, then provides you with an option to install individual applications.

We do the exact oppositte. We start off fully loaded, then strip down the base build with surgeons, and while we are at it, we theme them.

Why do we remove unused applications?

1. To avoid them to use ram/rom or cpu which equals to battery drain at end, not because of storage capacity, which we have plenty.

So is only logical that the base rom in comparison to surgeonized rom has a worst batt life, and, in the same way variations will occur among surgeons as well.

Take into consideration that none of what I have talked about above has to do with kernel. :)

So if you find the AP mobile news widget useful, fine, but it will use Internet data and cpu, which again, equals battery juice. :)

You do understand this right?

So what is the best build for you? Only based on your needs you will find out.

This right here is why on this thread, and in every other, users report good battery life, then at next post other says they have bad battery life, cause it varies so much on user configurations + phone signal + actual usage + lightning conditions + battery life + etc, its impossible to please everyone with one build.

Samsung already is trying to deploy only one build + one kernel equal to all of us.

Our job here, to provide "options", nothing more, nothing less.

Our next build is already on beta users hands, and we aim to make our themes/surgeons universal. That mean u can come here, download the surgeon n flash it on the build posted on the thread above ;).

Next step is to write a guide so everyone can do this customizations

Themselves. Carry on a flashable zip file a multipdi+fav app+fav theme+ removing unused apps+etc to every build u want.

We hate exclusiveness, we hate not sharing.

We love open source, we love sharing and we love learning.

Cheers

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jdbpogo:
yea, i edited my last post . i reread the first page and after realized that there were no cpu/gpu tweaks. sorry bout that. i just skimmed it the first time around. i've already frozen all the sammy apps with titanium (didn't uninstall in case i wanted later) and don't have any major wakelocks. maybe it'll get better after the battery settles in.

anyway, thanks for the explanation. even though it should have been unnecessary.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] asphaltkiller:
how could i modify surgeon script so it can save gtalk???

and how to delete market data? there s no market in app list!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
I really should find time to put this in the first page, anyhow

1. Install notepad++ on windows. if using linux no need.

2. Without decompressing the zip file u are looking to mod, navigate to META-INF/com/google/android/

3. Open up "updater-script" file located there with notepadd++

4 Delete from there the following lines

delete("/system/app/Talk.apk");

delete("/system/lib/libtalk_jni.so");

5. Save on the document, press yes to update the zip file

6. Flash away and SHARE if succesfull.

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
EDIT:removed, doc to the rescue

Just one note, if you have already removed gtalk, flashing the modified surgeon won't get it back..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] asphaltkiller:
thanks i ll d it on next fresh install
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] muhamet:
I instaled rom i put some walls but after a 30min i khant see pictures in my galery app but i see in the my files app pleas help

Yes, DSPManager with working Bass booster like on Cyanogen and AOSP Roms please.

Audio output is distorted when Bass booster is enabled in DSPManager in the current ROMs we have.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mfpreach:
Just picked up the phone yesterday and am running this great rom!

Question: anyone else find the light sensor on this phone to be terrible? It constantly shifts. Is there a fix for this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jdbpogo:
it is terrible. i just don't use the automatic screen brightness.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If you have automatic brightness on try unticking the auto power brightness mode. still in display under auto power adjuster. untick that and display wont be playing up anymore. it was mentioned earlier as well. screen tries to save battery by adjusting brightness so the many webpages you open up thats how many times it will try to adjust it self. hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Everyone able to dl from the links?

I just fail to connect and timeouts. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
Thanks for the report. lemme check.

EDIT:

Just tried downloading and I was able to download the ROM. Please try again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Thanks.....the urge to update is great.

I can access the hyperdroid.calibur.info main page (can see 1.3.3 right there :D) But when I click on the links it just says Waiting....then it stops. :(

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Just tried, still unable to start any dl. Same symptoms as above. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Check your router buddy or your internet connection...everything seems fine here when downloading....tried to check again and rom downloads just fine
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Oh well, must be my ISP working up again. :(

Will report back after the usual steps. :D

edit : reset of router/modem - no go....nvm, such problems usually clear after a few days. I'll wait....angrily. :D Thanks for all the help guys! :D

edit 2 : hey, it's working again.. :D

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Eh...so the 1.3.3 on the server - it's just 1.3.2 with the Delta 2 update built in? :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rnpasinos:
just a quick question with the surgeons... if i want to include certain applications when i flash the surgeon (ie google apps):

1. do i just add them to the \system\app directory in the zip file where the Hypderdroid-LauncherPro.apk is located? if no, where do i place them?

2. is there a naming convention i need to follow?

3. is there a script file i need to edit in order to install the applications?

tnx!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tartakobsky:
hi guys, maybe a foolish question, but do i have to be in official ki3 before i can flash the androidmeda base and theme? or any official sgs2 rom is fine?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
1. Yes, that's where you place them

2. Well there is, but i suppose your surgeon is for personal use?

3. Nope, just place them there and you'll be good to go.

No, any rom will do. Just make sure you wipe/factory reset before installing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rnpasinos:
tnx petsasj! yup, rom is for personal use. i guess there's no naming convention required. asked because a script (which i thought was needed - answered by #3) may need to parse the file name and if it doesn't follow a certain format it won't be installed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] more2come:

Concerning the boot logo, i tried replacing the logo inside the zip and flashing it but it aborts, but the original zip goes through still...

I compressed it as "store" and renamed it logo.jpg like the original image, size also exactly 480 x 800.

Do i have to edit something else for it to flash, i tried the same for replacing the launcher before. Samething happened... What to do?

EDIT: Yes I got it working! --> Point was I unchecked the "Progressive" and optimized and made it RBG instead of sRBG and other crazy photoshop settings, imbedded color profile into the pic itself... one or any of those changes made it work ^^
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Hey Doc, is it possible to come up with a theme pack what replaces your battery numbers with one that's purely numeric without the green circle?

Like in some of your screenshots on the first screen, the green circle makes the numeric value too small to be readable properly on lower DPI values. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Use EDT
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Ah thanks! Didn't know this existed. :D

Hy guys i'm here with this fantastic rom since 05/10 and i'm really happy with it... so many thanks.

I've now sicopa theme but i'd like to have another theme for dialer.. (i like pongster one) is it possibile? How?

Regards
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
jep its possible.....

On pongster theme zip file without unzipping

1 Open it up and navigate to vrtheme/system/app/

2 Copy or drag and drop the Contacts.apk folder into vrtheme/system/app/ of Sicopats theme (zip file).

now flash and share...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cescof:
Really thanks for nswer but i've a little problem cause in sicopa theme 1.3 i'n not able to find system app... i can see just

Sicopat_Jkay_Surgeon-ki3v1.3.zip\vrtheme\system\app\SystemUI.apk

annd no apk.... Sorry what's wrong??

Regards
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
nop, there is no apk, there is a folder named Contacts.apk

that is what u want
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cescof:
Thanks but i can't find it....

Regards
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
u r suppose to drag pongs Contacts.apk folder to sico's vrtheme/system/app/ folder.. so doesn't matter if its not there in sico's theme..

i.e. number 2 in Doc's instructions...

What happens when u drag a file into an empty folder? Not sure what else to explain because it is just Drag
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cescof:
Sorry.....

Thanks

Based on the philosophy of androidmeda, I would like to install main, doc surgeon, theme sicopat or jkey colored green. I would also edit the script of the surgeon not to delete some applications. I would like to do: install main + update two, modify the surgeon with NP + + then flash it, installing sicopat or jkey green colored. I do things properly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
No worries, pretty sure you'll be pretty happy once u r done. Do share ur results like what doc had suggested :D

Have tested the new Checkrom Revolution HD but currently i am flashing HyperDroid... Back to this fantastic ROM...

In my opinion this ROM is smoother and faster... great work...

A great thing in Checkrom is Leo´s Kitchen app... Makes things very easy :o

might wanna change your sig if this is smoother and faster then;):D...i did the same..played with checkrom revolution but its back to this one....well leo has kitchen we have surgeons......cant beat a surgeon i say.....hehe Doc should know(get the joke, Doc surgeons..Nope ok i know lame joke:p)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
you mean the battery icon?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bergkuh:
1. Totally agree with you... Tried and switched back to the REAL HOPPER STOPPER ;) Of course we have Surgeons, VRtheme aaand a legendary team :p

The kitchen is nice but you can also - I tried Revolution 2.7.1 a long time - patch some mods non functional. Or the missing md5 which is now included I think. But OTA updates would be really nice ;)

2. May a stupid question: But how can I update my theme? :rolleyes: I did a clean install with full wipe some days ago and I've implented my changes in your Samsung Stock VRtheme. Now I want to mod something else, but do I have to install the whole theme again or can I put only a vrtheme.zip on my card?

3. Do you recommend to undervolt with SetCPU? And what settings were "stable" and fast ^^ I've seen that the voltages are still lowered - like mentioned in first post. Now I've just set the min. CPU to 100 and I'm using the conservative govenor ;)

4. Keep up the good works! Love your work... Is anywhere a "donate -> whole team link/mail"? ;) Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the little wall of text :o

I have a little Problem, after rebooting the system says my sd card must be formated... it cant mount the sd card, but when i go to cwm and mount usb, i will see all what is on my sd card ???

What can i do ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
No stupid question whatsoever, I think is wonderful you guys are getting ahold of the vrtheme stuff.

vrtheme overwirtes only what it finds inside the zip file to be flashed, that means, if a certain png is not there, the old one will remain and still be used.

So, as for stock vrtheme, it changed cause, jkay pngs xmls changed,

do you have to update too? yes u have.

I recommend, if you want to avoid contant updating do a vrtheme that includes only your custom pngs....

and flash it over the stock vrtheme we provide...so if we deploy stock samsung vrtheme v2.0 and for example, you like to change battery icons only then your will do the following

flash the new base, thenflash a surgeon, then flash stock vrtheme we provide and then flash your vrtheme. :D

doing that, vrtheming only the pngs you change, you can always flash it on top of the updated and retain your icons without having to update yourself the whole theme....:D

I probably did not make myself clear cause im sleepy...sorry :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
weird....

backup your sd card contents inmediatly, as it strikes me like is corrupted.

I would delete the hidden android files that android system makes on sd cards first, and let android rebuild them to see if that soulves the issue
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] seavers11:
When i boot in recovery and mount my usb device i can see the files on the internal sd card, but when i boot my sgs2 he writes my sd card will be corrupted and must be formatted ???

i am currently backup my card...

should i format the card via recovery or via android system ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bergkuh:
May a stupid tip but: Mount it and let Windows repair/check the sd-card. Right click on the card and select "Eigenschaften" (sorry for german). Maybe it will help, I think windows can repear the FAT32 but make a backup before ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
try this first, mount internal sd while on recovery and from your pcdelete the following folders of your sd card

.android_secure

.cache

.temp

.trash-1000

and reboot into android, lets see if that solves this issue

and yes...if you use windows this is actually another thing i would try
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bergkuh:
Oookay. Sounds really great. I'll try this. So now I've to download and flash "Restore backup", then "Stock Samsung Theme v1.3" aaand then my own vrtheme.zip!? :) Don't want to make a mistake again ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
yes....but ur own vrtheme zip must only have your custom pngs, not the whole package, so only your custom pngs will get overwritten, leaving all the rest of pngs and xmls untouched....:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kingofthebraves:
Try connecting the SD card directly to the pc? If not corrupt back everything up and just reformat it with the phone.

Just flashed Doc's surgeon script plus stock samsung theme and is it just me or is the battery icon appearing and disappearing while charging?? Thought it was missing at first and even the battery text beside it is missing. Is it just me?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sreg:
I just want only the icon upper sicopat theme, but it returns to stocks, maybe I did not understand what is jkey!:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
hmm, maybe the stock samsung theme is missing some batter pngs.....let me check that for you
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bergkuh:
Understand! ;) If's this works I'll fall in love with the VRtheme engine/mod/engine/whatever :D

Last but least one question: Modify some data/apps/ doesn't work!? I've read this in the thread where ZeuBug posted some test's by himself... Or is this information outdated? ^^
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] seavers11:
THX guys... have check for errors via windows and now everything is working fine here...

on framework-res.apk/res/drawable

look for the spinners xml and increase the frames per second they use

Thank you so much sir :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sreg:
doc, I was able to edit your surgeon, ok, I prefer yours, because it solves a problem of color intensity, and reduces the so-called, yellow effect on the screen;). if you give me some advice on your theme (transparencies give little emphasis to the written menu, to my eyes) I avoid installing other issues, maybe I do not like but they are more readable. thank for your work.:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
disabling alpha transparency on framework woudl do that trick, or editing the xml to show less transparecy, but that is a whole lot of work.
