just tried the new mattle black, my opinion is that this theme is too tiny for my eyes ... i prefer the other @ 192 DPI ... looks better :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yaronAD:
I flashed the base + DOC + RTL >>>> GR8! :)

Questions :

1. forgot to do a full wipe before..everything looks fine ...

should I do a full wipe ? never did with this rom > been here from v1.3.2

2. I read about the old version of the Recovery 4.0.0.2 > but there's a big differences cos you cant flash from external SD ...and all my files (rome versions and mods are there....) can I upgrade my self or It would be a disaster on stability

THX for your GR8 work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RustyJoe:
Flashed the last version about ten hours ago. Is it only me our do the colors seem faded..

APN lost on update

Hi,

Just flashed 2.9.0 (no surgeon) and I'm now missing my APN (Tele2 Sweden), i.e. no mobile data and when I go to Settings->Wireless and network->Mobile networks->Access Point Names the list is empty. I guess I can add the settings myself but I have the feeling that there should be some other way of resolving this. Is there?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Sweden, tele2 here too. Latest base+mattedblack surgeon working perfect with me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
by the way guys did anyone try Market Enabler with that new market?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pirate.666:
Hehe...thanx for the tip :) I made a fresh install, had the phone connected to the PC and syncing like crazy. Maybe that's what made the CPU sweat a little then ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sicopat:
You have 2 apks for Samsungapps :

SamsungApps.apk

SamsungAppsUNA3.apk

I can confirm Samsung apps and its updates work without any problem after copying them back on my surgeon, on v2.9.0 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yaronAD:

The Samsung animation is missing from the file in post11 :)

here is a full flash version for the "conservatives" like me > that likes the "Samsung animation and sound" better:)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
when receiving a mms is there a limit on how big it can be?

Friend sent me a photo and its saying "Downloading" for some hours now. But when sending mms to myself it downloads directly
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Do you have data on? Cause it happened to me. i had data off and a friend send me a picture message and it kept on saying downloading...honestly do not know if there is a way round it, so when say you receive a mms and it says downloading by just pressing the data toggle it will automatically do it than having the person send it to you again.

so for me my opinion is that you had your data off and that is why you are waiting for that mms to download still
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jon3sh:
Check your APN settings and they need to be according to your network settings. Its under settings, wireless and network, mobile network then apn. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Hmm, true. It was off. But I turned it one long time ago and it still "downloads". How do I redownload it?

Cmon :( its a pic from a girl! U gotta understand me!

Jk, no rush :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
how about a reboot with data on?

You may have lost it as your telco may not have kept it for you to download anymore..

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

Hey buddy, make a backup if you haven't done so...

Now do a clean install of the rom wiping everything then the surgeon..

This looks like an issue with no wipe... so you may be the unlucky one that needs to wipe to be on the same level playing field to enjoy the rom as everyone else :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Tried it already.

Solved it by downloading GO SMS PRO cause I remember when using it that I had a "Download" button when it failed to download mms :)(like when I had no data on)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
nice find with the solution buddy.

so its the stock messaging app that isn't up to the task.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpt888:
Finally got a chance to update to v2.9.0. But I'm having FC for com.android.phone everytime I boot my phone up. I came from v2.87 and everything was fine. Anyone else having this problem.

I have the I9100XXKI4 modem installed which worked fine with v2.87. I'm with Fido in Canada

After the FC it seems to fine for awhile then it FC's again.

I cleared cache and wiped dalvik cache when I upgraded to v2.90. Did it twice already but same problem.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
The modem won't have anything to do with it. :)

Did you try wiping everything and doing a clean install?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
did you install any themes while on v2.8.7?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpt888:
I haven't tried installing from scratch. How would you do that anyway? Just install stock ROM and put v2.9 on top?

I have not installed any themes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
there is an option in recovery to wipe data..., wipe cache, and under advanced, wipe dalvik... Then just install rom through recovery bu choosing the right zip file and all should be sweet.

always back up before you flash anything in the future.. please....;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Get into CWM recovery and wipe data/factory reset, also wipe cache and dalvik cache. Install zip from SD card, select the ROM zip and flash it. Reboot and voila.

:)

Edit: s2d4, your fingers are on fire lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpt888:
I have a backup of all my apps in TB. So your suggestion is to do a factory reset (wipe data) and do cache and dalvik wipe? Do I need to reinstall the rom again?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Your answer was more thorough ;) awesome for you to help buddy
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] merbiyatch:
i think the best way is to start clean.

CF Root Files

Stock Fw's

-flash stock via odin. doesnt matter what. preferably latest build.

-after phone reboots, titanium back up apps, and back up everything you want to a pc.

-go to phone and dial *2767*3855# ( this will erase everthing thats on the phone's internal memory including cache etc.

-your phone will reboot after the proccess.

-head into settings>applications check unknown sources, then into development and check usb debugging.

-boot your phone into download mode. cf root your phone with the right file that matches your firmware.

-boot into recovery. back up your current rom. then you can flash 2.9.0.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
I meant a full backup via CWM/recovery..

TB is awesome too, just don't go restoring system data please...

yes.. coz you've now just wiped everything... so install the rom zip like both geko and I had told you earlier...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ngoonee:
Just flashed the latest 2.9.0 yesterday, is anyone getting very low WIFI signals? Sitting at the same place relative to the router (about 12 feet away) as yesterday with very good signal, but today I get poor signal and some disconnects.

AFAIK this (wifi) is related to the kernel, right? Would it be possible for me to flash the old kernel to test?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Absolutely no reason and not necessary to do this... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bpt888:
Thanks guys for your help. I'll do a reset and reinstall a fresh copy of the v2.90 rom and see from there. I that doesn't work then I will have to start clean (i.e. back to stock then to v2.90)

Appreciate the help guys. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
You're welcome, please do click the thanks button under the posts that helped you out when you can.

Oh and by the way, going back to stock firmware and then to 2.90 is not going to change the final result. Since the instructions that me and s2d4 gave you will already erase everything on your phone, which means you are starting with a clean slate. All you have to do is flash this ROM again and you shouldn't have any issues. If you still have problems, its due to the ROM and isn't something you did.

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] merbiyatch:
this is by far, hands down, the best rom i have ever tried on my sgs2. more power to you pareng pngster! apir tayo jan!

only thing i noticed is that the home buttong doesnt wake my phone when its in sleep mode. power buttong does. home button works anywhere else except when phone is asleep.

more power and thanks for this rom. mabuhay.

I just upgrade to 2.9...just flash it over 2.8.7 and flash docs surgeon again. no problem and this rom is very fast and stable

Only sometimes i have massive wakelock on my phone that cause by gtalk_async_conn.

i tried to freeze gmail using tibackup, gtalk uninstalled, no notification for market but this wakelock always show up. I know this is not rom or kernel related, but maybe someone here can give me a clue how to get rid this wakelock

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
some surgeons remove the home button wake function..

Check the hotfixes post (post 11) to get it back by flashing or do it manually with the help of the search button :)

Any idea what these launcher icons are ?

And if anyone could recommend a decent theme manager for launcher pro..

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Different launcher but I recommend the multi dpi versions of touchwiz from petsasj :D

he confirmed that it's hardware accelerated so that is why it was faster/lagfree than launcher pro for me. Even if it's heavily UC'ed..

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Radikaal:
what's the reason you say not to change dpi on mattedblack in big letters? Because of TW Launcher?

I flashed it, but the dpi was just way to small for my eyes, so i flashed the stock DPI and its been working great so far, great looking theme! Only thing that doesnt look quite correct is the app drawer in TW, but thats fine for me since i use another Launcher anyway :)

2.9 works great so far.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] merbiyatch:
hmmm. im not sure if this is a first but it seems that root explorer isnt compatible. atleast thats what the market says when i try to install it. :confused:

@pongster - how do i stretch the advance clock widget to fit the new mattedblack surgeon? i love the ability of getting many icons of my tw dock but non-tw widgets are non resizable~~
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jsbutran:
Most market applications not working after updating to HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v2.9.0. On top it indicates your device is not compatible with this item. Most of these applications are purchased by me. Never happened earlier. What's up. ( I did a complete clean install of v2.9.0)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Try Super Manager from the market, its free and works perfectly. Just enable the root function in the app settings.

:)

If other apps fail to install, try changing dpi to 240 (stock). Also clearing market data in manage applications could help.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
He uses the 160dpi version of twlauncher supplied by petsasj'. as it is hardware accelerated so definitely faster than the other launchers..

petsasj offers various dpi versions on his thread ;)

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

It is because of the dpi change, please use nitrality or lcd density changer from market to change to 240 dpi to download :)

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------

You may be unlucky and needing a full wipe for a fresh start... My ap settings stayed but I would have gone for a fresh start if weird things like this happen..

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

once again, this is related to dpi. check my reply just before :)

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

Please check on petsasj's thread...

There is a script inside gscript folder for resizing.

I mucked around with it and got google search and google plus working :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
You can flash petsasj TW in the dpi you prefer to solve that. MattedBlack is only tested on 160 as thats what I use personally.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
Stretch to 4 columns. After all your widgets are set go to gscript lite and add the /sdcard/launcher160.sh script and run it.

Does sygic need an active data connection to operate even if I've already downloaded the map ?

Are there any other gps navigation programs that dont need a data connection in order to navigate? Similar to the one HTC uses.

Thanks!

I find Titanium crashing a lot on multiple ROMs lately and getting stuck on restore percentage screen but all I do is leave my phone for 10 minutes because Titanium is still restoring the apps in the background it just seems to show a frozen screen and in some cases it will give you a FC error but all you need to do is wait and leave the error screen up and it will do the restore in the background. Once you close out of Titanium and Open it again you will notice that some apps are restored if not all of them depending on how long you wait. Weird bug but it is a Titanium problem I think
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jchoong:
Thanks, I did not know I have to install an app from Market to change the dpi. Got it done now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] uppon2:
1. You seem to have less problems on other ROMs so why not use them? 2. If you think other ROMs are better than why not use them? You seem to have problems working out very basic issues. You sound very demanding and pushy and to be honest a little bit of a dumb dumb. Can you please stop being annoying
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
No active data connection needed as far as I've tested unless you want the features like weather and city info, etc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] uppon2:
@ Doc and Hyper - You should include Nitrality which is an app designed by nitr8 (Wayne) who has been a dev on SGS 1 and SGS 2 - This app has a feature to change dpi on the fly (VERY SIMPLE) and a bunch of other stuff too

This is his free app on the market. If you like it purchase the paid app https://market.android.com/search?q=nitrality&so=1&c=apps

There are other dpi changers but not as extensive as this app

You can find him here if you want permission to include it in your ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170249

If not everyone should just download it from the market: Open Nitrality > UI Tweaks > Display Resolution

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
sir, 240 is stock and you won't have any problem there.

Sometimes you would still need to delete app data/cache from settings/manage applications/all then choose market..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ngoonee:
Thanks pongster, I did wipe and start fresh. Perhaps (hopefully) its simply that my university's routers are failing.

Concerning the bolded bits, I thought I read in this thread before that modems are only related to GSM/3G/HSPA etc. connection, and that wifi is solely kernel-related? I would imagine the wifi driver is a separate module from the modem, since I understand they're physically different chips on the phone (and in my knowledge this means different kernel modules for each chip).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yhrn:
Hi,

I tried flashing Pongster's MattedBlack and when booting I now get "'logo.jpg' draw failed" instead of the normal Samsung Galaxy S II logo. Even tried reflashing base and only adding a Pongster theme. Still the same. I have a standard unbranded phone. How can I fix this (I'm going to stay on the theme not the surgeon)?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] squirel:
Orbot again :)

Seems like Orbot is not working because of:

modprobe: module 'ip_tables' not found.

Can anyone provide my with some guidlines, in which direction i should search to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
ip_tables works here as I use DroidWall

I don't use Orbot so I'm not sure what the workaround to Orbot is but you can check Siyah Kernel thread as I recall reading Orbot related workarounds there.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
We didn't touch the drivers so if its not modem related its router related as I have the same performance where I am.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Just a heads up that MattedBlack Surgeon works on stock deodexed XWKJ3 (I had to manually edit SystemUI.apk and only add drawable as status bar would force close if I add .xml). Everything works, JKay, DPI, etc. Will test it through the day!

Thanks Pongster.
