[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pirate.666:
I'm all confused. I've got two versions of the newest XD build: One that's 332.57 mb downloaded yesterday and one that's 331.27mb downloaded today. Is the last one updated with the talkback fc fix?

Oh, one more question. I'm running the previous 2.9 build with pongsters matted black surgeon. Flashing the XD build without wiping isn't such a great idea in my case is it?

Ok, good to know it's not because of something else.

Thanks for quick answer, and an amazing job!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
MattedBlack is ready but links haven't been put up. I'm leading a workshop for a client for the next 6 days and have limited access to the internet.

Unfortunately, work comes next to family... devvin comes after work...

I work so I can spend quality time with my family and so I have enough discretionary time to dev...

I'll try to upload the links when I find the time.

Don't worry, we hear you... soon most themes in the vrtheme format will be provided along with the ROM Tool and a secret project you will thank petsasj and the team for...

Enjoy vXD as it is for now...

SD Cards and more

Good day Doc,

i'm here with SD-Cards mounting problems from yesterday,maybe you remember?:)

I was following your suggestions:format USB storage and MSD Card, then wipe all (absolutely all) and in CWM in "mounts and storage" format system as well.

Only then i flash Base Rom (last time download,md5 checksumm passed), it was all OK. :D

Then i boot in CWM, flash your surgeon (ver.3-Transparent), and guess what??

I sit now here already some 17 min, display still have only boot animation (not a bootloop, but playing bootanimation), and the phone on the back is pretty hot...

Should i wait more??Or maybe something, what i was doing wrong??? Maybe you have some ideas, to point me into it,

Thanks a lot,

Val

Thank you all!!

Val

Hi,

Thank you for the update! Now the Pongster transparent theme dl link gets a file with v3.0 in the file name (still says v2.1 in the first page post). However, it seems to be the same file that I tried to flash before which put me in a boot loop. I have not wiped yet but before I resort to that I'd like to know if it the Pongster themes are supposed to work yet or if I should wait instead?

And a small feature request: Now that we don't know the Samsung base, would it be possible to get a flashable zip in post 11 for removing text messages from the call log? I did it myself before but now I don't know which LogsProvider.apk to select from this thread. It would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
This is big news for me! It was the only thing holding me back from using only vrtheme, ive use it for a few things but this is a game changer :D

thanks a million! i think ive just found my new evening reading :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ballmead:
I have this exact same problem with Docs non-transparent surgeon V3.0.

Boot animation playing in a loop (faster than normal) and phone getting hot, battery getting chewed up while it happens.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rnpasinos:
cool... i'll wait for this release before upgrading to the new version...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Ok...dowbload mattedblack from fownloads post (not pongsters specific post) that one should work.

As u might have noticed Hyperdroid sucks at editing posts regarding download links.

Themes were pointing to previous versions. It should be fixed now.

Or got to http://hyperdroid.calibur.info

Select v3.0 only

About logs provider and unthemed app drawer (yes i dint forget).....off to work now, let me get back in about 12 hrs or so.

Stuck at bootscreen. Theme/Surgeon probably old...flash v3.0 only pls :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jon3sh:
Little confused :D.. So there is another XD on top of yesterday's first release? Just wondering if I should redownload that and flash over the old one. Everything works right now or is there any changes needed to reflash it again. Thanks

Base

Really excited to try this new XDXD9 ROM out. But first I would like to know what base it is?

Cheers and tnx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
And the show must go on!

Doc, is there any HyperDroidROM version named... QUEEN?

LOL
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cdfs:
I get a 404 not found on that link. Any other mirrors for matted black?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rudolf895:
What version is this based on?

I mean which Firmware?

XDXD9? i cant even find that on http://www.sammobile.com/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hax1:
it says the baseband is KI3 and android is 2.3.5.

btw. I had the same error as others after flashing ONLY the base, phone got stuck on boot animation for ~15 minutes, I then removed the battery and put it back in, then it booted up normally.

could be an error within the base. zip was fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rudolf895:
did you factory reset?

Most of the time permissions for data files gets messed up when you change the system partition, thus fixing permission or factory reset , one of these option is a must after flashing, You can choose any one now.

Edit:where does it say based on KI3? Are you trying the very first version of the rom? ie v1?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
That's your modem, please don't confuse people even more then they are already lol

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

XDXD9 is the teams new naming convention not Samsung's therefore you won't find it. Doc and the changelog says it will always be the latest most stable release that they see fit so won't be releasing the build number. This will hopefully stop people asking for a new build every time a new release is available, leaked or official. If themer's take on VRTheme, life would be easier for users and also the themer but there are still some that refrain from doing this but I believe it's down to their understanding of VRTheme rather than not being able to recreate what they've done. Maybe some actually enjoy doing multiple themes for various versions, I guess it's personal but it's up to them at the end of the day.

As for stopping people asking for latest versions now they're just asking for version numbers lol can't win either way but I think they're right to do what they're doing so just easier not to ask but instead mention to the owners of any mods you want to use and Doc has kindly said he'll work with them or port over the work which is extremely helpful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hofinho:
sorry for jumpin on the same train but why do you suddenly "hide" the base by modifying build.prop in almost every line? the rom-name is your choice but as long as i dont know what the base is (for whatever reasons, comparison purposes, modding etc.) i will leave hyperdroid and do my own rom. i dont like havin stuff in my /system with no hint of its origin. i guess you know about incidents like that: http://www.malwarecity.com/blog/gone-in-60-seconds-android-spyware-gone-1159.html

so why do you make people suspicious?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Correct. XD is not an actual firmware. I hid it on purpose to prove a point. As soon as I release next base, Ill let you know which base it is.

The point is.

Customized Base, stable, modded to its teeth is better than stock samsung friware, nevertheless it being newest or have new letters on it (I am sure you get my point being a RD)

Take for example Villain. The Villain ROM has not been updated since a while now. Why? cause pulser knows that, without a changelog, we are doubling or triplication efforts upograding whatever samsung feeds us. And look at Villain ROM, Rock stable, solid, fast, bugless ;).

Sure I trust samsung, they might fix some bugs, and in the process introduce some more, its a never ending cycle.

As far as you can tell, this could be the earliest 2.3.5 base, or the newest one.

Compare performance, battery, bugs, etc on this base with kj3, ki8, ki4, or kh bases, Maybe i ported all mods to a very old base, maybe i did not, the point being I bet you wont find much much difference. :)

So, forget about what letters this Base is on, I will tell, later, just enjoy the Base, if you want a specific mod, ask for it and it should be done, if ou ask a specific theme, ask for permissions to the themer and it should be done.

this is one of the funniest posts I ever read. Thank you for a good laugh, I needed it today.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tranquility:
Guys, after update I get APN in mobile network settings lost every time I reboot device. Also after every reboot Swype languages selection is getting lost (I select only certain languages).

Another bug I noticed is when you tap on Go switch widget to disable data network it disables it but the icon for it in status bar remains active, and in reverse when you tap on widget it turns on data network and is highlighted but icon in status bar is not active although data network is enabled.

Please help to resolve this issue
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hofinho:
you are welcome. just tell me what is so funny about it? i guess you dont even know what hacking means and how easy it is to get a 2kb backdoor on a phone of blind eyed users.

i get your point, doc, it really doesnt matter which base. but why do you not just change the ro.build.display.id for the not that experienced users and leave the rest untouched?

you know, you guys talk about leaving the freedom and choice to the user to install whatever theme, mod etc. and on the other hand you suddenly force users to ask about a mod bein adopted for hyperdroid???

the reason why i used androidmeda is because of its transparency and compatibility (just as the first post declares). Both reasons are gone now...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ams84:
something wrong with

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Sorry if I offended you in any way, not in any way I meant to do that to you or anyone here, but im glad something positive came out out of this (another rom :) )

No malware, no weird stuff, its samsung all the way up :). There are another ways of finding out the real base, but of course, only enough knowledgeable guys would know how to do that.

Anyhow, farewell my friend, and count us in on any support you might need on you future build, I bet i will be great, looking forward to it :)

Hi all,

Just updated my surgeon v3.0 :D

That's not cool!!

He tried to help...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
okok, calm down, lets not start a war here.

Boldman is our official RTL tester :)

If you have been following the thread, we did not had RTL testers at the beginning.

¡ Myabe I screwed up download links on post 11, or sth like that. RTL is working good, but if you made one and its working too, better, the more the merrier =)

A helpful person that is trying to understand your issue??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arkerio:

need ICS theme :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
you say you wanted to make your own rom even after doc explained the fun little experiment he is doing, so best thing is to let you go if you don't like something fun, since he isn't into forcing you to participate.

Don't see how that is angry or sarcastic at all. How did you come to that conclusion After reading what he said?

And don't imply he is immature just because you are not getting what you want. :)

you are actually the one being rude for demanding him to follow your suggestion and thinking that he was doing something suspicious ...

he is doing this out of his own good will man.....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aamirleo55:
thanx..... Developers...my phone's having very nice battery life.....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
it's sad that no one is speaking of the new base, just trivial nit picking.

excellent new base, smooth, 12 hrs of moderate usage till now, excellent battery as usual, kinda retro to not use any theming for a change.:)

thanks guys.

Pongster did a super job on the kernel!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hacksome:
The /sdcard mount fails on recovery screen. Looks like the new kernel here inherited that bug from the Siyah beta.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
In recovery or in the CWMManager app? What bug?

EDIT1: I see backups on both internal sdcard /sdcard and external sdcard /ext_sdcard in CWM app..

EDIT2: On restore screen in recovery, it points to external sdcard...

There is an option at the bottom that says " restore from internal SDCARD"

They are both correct...

Are we on the same page?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hacksome:
Sorry for the Typo. I meant - Recovery. SDCard fails to mount.

I really have to say thank you to doc and pongster and petsasj and sicopat and......dude i thank all of them!!!!! I mean if ppl would start just chillin and let them do what they always do (provide us with quality rather than quantity) things would be less complicated. Flashed new base yesterday night and everything runs smooth and nicely. Flashed base, flashed pongsters transparent surgeon and home button wake fix and things run good. No lags nothing really. Changed governor to skywalker and need for speed runs without any lags or so. Nice work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Yom:
Hi all,

Just wondering... How do I record calls? I see in the change log callrecording is in the base, but I can't find how to configure it.

Thanks!

Posted via my hacked, rooted, bad-ass SGS2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
One: Kernel working fine so far no issues. Regarding both memories internal and external again both are working fine and i can backup my rom on internal and external just like S2D4 mentioned above.

Second: When someone is trying to help no need to go all Chuck Norris on them...XDA is all about helping each other when someone has a problem and try and resolve it..No need for smartass comments...

Third: whatever the base is who cares.....as long as it is working, have the latest jkay settings and the kernel gives me my battery life that i should be expecting from hyperdroid who am i to ask what base it is......and regarding hacking and concern about privacy....i can see your point but also see mine..devs do not release roms to spy on anyone or whatever anyone thinks they do with it they release and share roms to make our handset better and more battery efficient....They do this out of the goodness of their hearts to share with the rest of us their awesome work. No one is forcing anyone to flash this rom or any other roms on xda..its all about choice...and people should respect that alone for the time and effort they put in...im talking in general here.....i for one respect not just the guys of hyperdroid team but every single dev on xda who does this out of fun and cares to share their knowledge and stuff to us....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
It is like that on CF-root also....

so it must be a recovery 5.0.2.7 thing..

Especially how they've corrected the terminalogy to:

sdcard to external sdcard and

internal sdcard to internal sdcard...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
Another one:

- Wipe Dalvik cache

E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Dalvik cache wiped.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
lol, the unknown volume for path thing comes up when you choose wipe dalvik cache but before you get to choose "Yes - wipe Dalvik Cache"

When you confirm to wipe dalvik cache, the output is "Dalvik cache wiped"

so sorry to burst your bug hunting bubble... its not an issue at all.. :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
Thanks.

So today I learned something new and useful. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] minidou-77:
I can't flash the JKAY 13.1 theme.

It's written that my ROM isn't a XWKI8 so the install abort.

I downloaded my theme last night but I redownloaded the Hyperdroid base an hour ago.

Thanks all
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] K_Hismoom:
If I choose "advanced restore from internal sdcard" in recovery it says "No files found.", whereas on "restore from internal sdcard" my backups are all listed and can be successfully restored.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hofinho:
extract the updater-script in /meta-inf from the update-zip package of jkay 13.1 theme and replace in the second line of the script "i9100XWKI8" with "I9100XDXD9"

this workaround will make it work flawlessly

edit: even more easy solution is to type # at the beginning of the second line
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Yes sir, same as CF-root.. and is a problem of recovery as i stated earlier. File a bug report with chainfire but I am pretty sure they know already..

funny though, all these recovery connoisseurs all of the sudden, I personally think it's the best one so far...

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

extract the pngs and use vrtheme to do it is a better choice...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] K_Hismoom:
So far, advanced restore always worked though, so it's not "all of the sudden".

These are the times you know what you have Titanium Backup for. :)

Thanks anyway for the information, didn't know that problem was related to the earlier ones.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FoggyG:
Yeah I would normally agree about the numbers. The only reason I ask is that I have sound problems on ALL ki based roms no matter what kernel. So to save some time I would like to know. But hell... if you want to keep it a secret... I guess I 'll just have to try it then ;) ...and instead of complaining about several questions about the base, maby you should put your explanation in the description. I personally find it foolish to not write the base. But I still love your work.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
It actually is only different, not a bug per se, it is intentional

What we did is edit the scripts to point to different mount points, so that external sd will be actually used (we consider safer to use external sd for backups than internal sd....

Choices, thats all

And about sdext not found...jep, we dony hace sdext partition on sdcards, cause we dont need it. Recovery was adapted loong time ago to seek for dalvik cache on sdext partitions and delete that too :). It was meant for all devices, not only s2 ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rudolf895:
I definitively understand that, with base knows noobs keep whining about the rom "NOT BEING UPDATED" lol.

I wanted to know the base, so that i could try some available themes on theme n app section(ICS by Vertumus) thus if i would know the base i would download the appropriate version. Anyways PM sent :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] K_Hismoom:
I can see your point there, defaulting to external sd is fine with me.

But why does "normal" restore from internal sd work, but not the advanced one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Was not aware of sound issues on ki bases o_O could u link me to the issue description pls?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Havent got your pm :(

Recognized developers, feel free to pm me and ill reveal the secret, hehehe

Nah seriously, RDs feel free to do so, I will gladly help u help us ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
yeah, you did change that last time and ended up with internal pointing to external sd . Pongster did this one in the same method as cf -root so we dont have the wrong mount points anymore.... there are certainly more people looking deeper into recovery in this version... otherwise you'd have had 10 people telling you that internal its mapped to external on second day of release ..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rudolf895:
What exact sound problems do you have?

How are you even using a phone with no sound?

elaborate on the sound issue rather than telling the devs on what they should put up in the first post.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] karendar:
Doc, not sure if he means this, but I know that sound quality increased when Samsung released the KI3 base... And it took a while before the kernel source was released, which meant most custom ROMs were compiled with the old update2 code... Just wondering it that's what he means. ;)
