dude...i have a confession to make...it was around the time when you were just about the release your surgeon and had asked for what dpi would people want the surgeon to be....and me...tribal lord of noobs considered 192 to be hypermetropic and requested for 240.....dude...160 rocks....lol....i have never liked my minimalistic phone more....so go for it...!!!!....atta boy!!!!....didn't understand the "gay" bit....:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
216 was an abstract value based on the second qualification i mentioned earlier: reducing dpi by 8 dpi intervals. The next logical value would be

240/1.125=213.33333 but it fails to be a derivative of 240 - 8x, where x is an integer.

So the best educated guess was 208 or 216. 216 being closer to 213.33333 and causing less graphical glitches was chosen.

We have to go throught his hassle because samsung was too lazy to use a q hd screen instead of a wvga :mad:

New market "banner" looks funny with changed dpi , dots instead of the usual "stripes" , the part where it says "MARKET" , anyway i'll stick with it until the problems start to surface

Here it's the original market

And here with the changed dpi

EDIT: a waste posting the pics since the "dots" are near as perceptible in a monitor :/ but you get the idea

Hi, I have just remembered, that I have one problem. Since the installation of Pongster's surgeon, I have no bootlogo. It is just black screen and then the animation shows up. What should I do ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jdbpogo:
i think the boot logo looks just like the animation, in mattedblack, but you can get the original here:

After a full day with my phone and after recalibrating the battery:

Ps: original battery lol

Yes i used the phone... Made some calls and sent a mms and some sms's
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alstrike:
Last cycle I got 1 day and 8h with 3h screen time, data on all the time and used camera and whatsapp quite a lot, I made some calls as well.

It may seem not a lot of screen on time but about 1h 1/2 are from Dice Player running some 720p mkv´s with 100% brightness and 100% volume.

However the phone is sitting now @ 70% with only 5 hours battery, go figure...

lol, live wallpaper?

another service for polling your battery level?

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Looks like you had pretty good result with heavy usage...

in cases where you have no idea what the phone is doing with the battery...

I always do these 3 things to get a good idea what is going on..

1. betterbatterystats

2. Dumpsys alarm

3. /proc/wakelocks...

There are other things to look at as well but the above should be understandable for most people.

Here are captures of betterbatterystats:

Well in my case seems stupid to use this app as a wallpaper but spares more battery then widgets and you are able to fully disable animations so i save some extra juice. And yes i tested this and i can confirm it saves more :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
here I was hoping for something interesting..

just look at the partial wakelock one....

I am sure you can figure it out that your problem is due to that app... all 2hr24mins of full sync! and seems to have consumed 7% battery..

so....

you've been calling drain this and that.. and even left a pretty crude remark a few weeks back and its down to your usage and your app choice.... ;)

Anyway, now that you know how to use one of the 3 things I told you, hopefully you can look at all 3 next time before you get frustrated and irate and think it's rom or kernel :D

Bought a new set of headphones.. Seinheiser HD205.. Trying them with my sgs2 + poweramp full version with eq in rock preset.. Simply awesome to hear Rammstein in the maximum without any distortion..

Awesome audio experience and audio quality :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
try downloading audioboost sgs2 from the market,,,would amplify your expereicen further...reason being ..i have a senheiser eH 250...no preset....just bump up the volume to max in music player...enable surround sound..and then teak thje colume with audiboost..experiment....you would love it...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Going to try mate
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Im getting distortion... Am i doing something wrong? :/

Volume in middle distorces lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
while using audioboost?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Yep mate :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
never faced any such issues...simply drag the toolbar to 84% whih would correspond to 90 in the scale used in audioboost.....and thats it....the max u go to is 93 which correcponds to 86 or 88 in the ruler i think...84 gives u the exact bass and pitch that u want in a senheiser headet
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Working like a charm... Putted audioboost to the max... What a douche looool

SilverFox Surgeon

First of all many thanks to Banafen for giving me permission to use his theme on my surgeon. Please check out his work here Monkey Theme thread for all the goodies and add ons to my surgeon

Without his permission i would not be able to release this beauty. It works fine on my handset and i have been using it for the last week now. No problems or anything at all. Its only for 240dpi so just making that clear now.

Its a dark theme so if you like your dark colours then this is for you. You get your normal goodies transparent clock, weather widget, email widget and so on.

Anyways first download and install my surgeon here http://www.multiupload.com/SEZ02KM9I3

and then once you are up and running download this add on to make it complete

http://www.multiupload.com/FRUIG35T9M

Hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.

Thanks:

Banafen for allowing me to port the theme over

Hyperdroid team for the awesome rom/kernel (looks like another 5hrs screen on time coming:D)

and to everyone else who i forgot please let me know and i will add you.

PS:to install my surgeon again i always recommend a clean wipe. but you can also firstly flash the new base first, then reboot flash my surgeon and then the add on afterwards..any questions feel free to message me:D

Please back up your rom before flashing anything.Back up back up back up:D:D:D:D Do not want anything happening and people start moaning so always backup first.:D Now enjoy the surgeon:)

A n00b question: when i do: *#1234# in mine and my gf's sgs2 it shows:

Pda: XWKI4

PHONE: XWKI3

Csc: xwki2

Pda is the base rom version?

What are phone and csc?

Having different version can lead to problems?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
Pda - firmware

phone - modem

csc - csc version

Samsung doesn't release new modems/csc with every firmware, so no it doesn't lead to problems. Although i highly doubt that your gf's phone is "XWKI3". More like "XXKI3".

Yes xxki3... Still asleep lol

Other than installing third party apps, anyone knows any tweaks to enable taking pictures with volume buttons or touching anywhere on the screen to take pictures please. Also a request to the devs, seeing as these guys are doing wonders here, is there anyway of using the return button, to close apps and return to main screen, something I used to like about miui roms and this is very useful cause at times using the home button can be noisy, as it clicks at times.

Just another question, if wifi is turned on and the phone is in deep sleep does it still drain battery or not?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
well. i always have wifi on..but when screen is off and phone is in deep sleep my wifi is the same.:D go into settings wifi and network, wifi settings, press menu button and then hit the advanced one..then choose wifi sleep policy and click on the one that says when screen turns off...tick that and then come out...now whenever your phone is in deep sleep your wifi does the same to and saves you battery at the same time:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SupraN0va:
1000thx , would never find that without you. :-D

thats cool mate...:) just one of the many hidden surprises that this phone has...honestly for me its one of the best features on this phone...it knows when you do not need it to make it sleep while screen is off and in deep sleep:)

@matriak....soemhow am not able to kill the 3 -3.5 hour barrier....for the first time thought i used my phone for close to 5 hours....1-1.5 hours of listening to music ..so the screen was off but the phone was on...also includes 1 hr 15 minutes of talk time...sorry phone got switched off before i could capture..:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I found that it doesn't really make much difference leaving wifi on or setting it to turn off when the phone is in deep sleep. I guess it's because it uses more battery power turning it back om every time the screen is turned on.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
The chip included in the S2 uses minimal battery when Wifi is on. Technology evolves :) My HTC Hero would drain if i had wifi on all day long, but the S2 drains about 2-3% when fully on. It also helps if you have a good wifi signal. The worse the signal, the more the battery drain.

I've decided my phone just does not like this ROM and kernel as even being on stock voltages and leaving everything alone I get freezes doing the simplest of things such as opening an email and then going to the tapatalk app. I had no problems for about 3 days then got a freeze yesterday and 2 freezes today. I've tried changing from ondemand to smartass v2 and now given up trying to find a usable combination as knowing my luck it'll freeze overnight stopping my alarm waking me up for work. Was good using it when it worked though.

GDay,

I have decided to give this ROM a go.

I'm using the latest base V2.9.0 and Docs surgeon,so far so good.

I notice a lot of you are using different governors.

Where exactly in the menu is the option to change them?

I must be daft because I can't find them?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:

best person regarding BBS stuff is s2d4..if you can get screenshots of your stats from there he is the man to go into more detail for you. make sure you take the partial wakelocks screenshot and then post it on here...

but from what i can see and read your battery seems pretty decent...it does not matter if you have not reached the 5hr barrier...i always say if you can get a day out of your battery without charging and have a minimum of 2.5hrs screen on time and more for me that is one good battery life.:) hope that helps:)

bro, do you know how to turn off wifi auto-scanning when you're connected? it's still searching for wifi signals even if i'm already connected to a wifi hotspot. i guess it drains battery. and it doesn't make sense searching for other hotspots if you're already connected right? thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
ehh never had that problem happen before..sure there is a way..let me have a check for you and i will get back to you on that if its ok..sure we can sort it out:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Polling is actually sent to be at more long scan intervals (120 or 160) I believe :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
right i dont know if this helps or if we are even talking about the same thing but if you go in settings and then wifi network and then wifi settings you have an option were it says network notification...it should be ticked and says notify me when an open network is available...untick that one and reboot your phone...that should stop notifiying you telling you have a wifi hotspot available
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blancer:
nope, i already did that the first time but still it scans. to be fair, this is not the ROMs problem. it is the S2's default. all of my friends who have the galaxy S2 have the same problem rooted or not. i hope someone can come up with a solution. thanks for the answer bro.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

what polling? sorry doc, i don't understand. forgive me for my ignorance :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Good find buddy ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
Every phone scans for wifi signal at certain time intervals. This process is called polling. Its initial value is 60 and we increase the value to 180.

If you want higher polling change the following line in your /system/build.prop

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blancer:
yes it's ok to scan at certain intervals. but my point is, it still scans even if you're already connected to a wifi. isn't it logical to stop scanning if you're already connected? sorry i'm suppose to be asking the samsung guys about it not the xda developers peeps ha ha!! anyway, thanks to all replies.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
It cant stop scanning once connected. Scanning doesnt just poll for a connection to be found and established, but also scans ever so often to update your wifi signal. And in case the signal drops lower than some other wifi access point in your connection list, it drops the low signal for the better one.
