CWM

Hi Devs,

Can you please tell if i have a problem on my SGS2?!

When i doing a Wipe data/factory & Wipe cache it takes for each step a long time, i mean 10-15 seconds to finish the wipe.

When i was on 2.3.5 with the same CWM 5.0.2.7 it was faster, its mean 2 second at all.

Is this some problem with the partition or a lot files and libraries on the flash?

I just want to know if the is no need to worry?

Thank you for the great new release, very stable and smooth than ever.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
No need to worry. It's due to CWM recovery compression.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Cangir:
guys i can't find the download of Docs Surgeon

can someone tell me please
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] carlz0206:
thanks now flashing....

Flashing was a success.now i need to play and get to know the rom.

thanks a bunch for your help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
No noticeable drain here. Still 1% in 8 hours lost in airplane mode for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aamirleo55:
i had installed thunderbolt scripts .... maybe its causing battery drain...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oksagi:
Thank you for fast reply
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] culbuto:
Apart from the kernel, what is different between update 5.0.3 and update 5.1.3 ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Nothing. I already explained version numbering.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] culbuto:
Ok thank's, it is definitely of what I thought.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haasgo:
Will be reverting back to 4.4.7. This crt thingy is just too annoying :-( nothing helped...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] imlgl:
No problem, happy to be of assistance :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cliff03:
same here +1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
I don't know exactly what you mean about the CRT effect.

CRT effect has been corrupted since the beginning of times in the S2 flinger files. I shared a workaround that made its impact less by turning off blur long time ago. Same corruption in KL1 than in KK5 than in KG6..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DomButcher:
Can I ask, what is wrong with that effect ? It seems to be working normally on my phone...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dikai_yang:
It gets corrupted faster than previous versions for some reason.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Caution

Please be careful - I have flashed many ROM's but I just flashed the latest version of this ROM and it wiped all of my backups and files on my external SD card !! That REALLY hurt me -- I have never had this with 100's of other ROM flashes !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dikai_yang:
For the devs, just my observation of the update script for the rom:

Package extract of sdcard is done twice, which I don't think is necessary.

Backup of batterystats copies the file to sdcard, which means external sdcard in this case. Shouldbthe folder be created first? Because if you simply cp a file to a folder which doesn't exist yet it doesn't actually copy successfully. Or, mount mmcblk0p11 (internal sd) instead. Then the file may be copied to the Hyperdroid download folder.

The delta update script copies /system twice.

Just my thoughts.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dikai_yang:
For people who are missing sdcard, it's my theory that when you use cwm or even the Hyperdroid tool to flash something, the sdcards are not properly unmounted first before the reboot. So there's a high chance of them getting corrupted. To fix it, connected to PC and do a disk scan, which will fix the corruption. No need to reformat. Use reboot from the jkay phone option. This option seems to initiate a proper shutdown sequence for reboot.

For people who keep losing efs, you haven't lost efs typically. But my theory is that you don't like the default browser and decide to freeze or delete the apk. When browser.apk is deleted, the csc info can't be read correctly upon boot (especially after factory reset). Your phone won't have signal. So keep browser.apk and hide it or something.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Broomfundel:
For anyone losing the sdcard. It happens to me a lot. It does not seem to be the card, as reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik. Fix permissions then reboot. Fixes it 2 out 3 times. Then adjust the jkay settings to restore then as the settings don't apply after. One final reboot and your back to normal. Annoying I admit but this ROM is worth it. Just have not been able to figure out why it happens.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cliff03:
I just noticed that in new 13.3.9 JKay the is a lot settings missing like battery warnings and a lot more settings.

can these settings be enabled somehow so they are the same as in 4.4.7.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] petsasj:
Look harder, they're under subcategories.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Well, if you have flashed 100 time, Ive flashed 1000 times, and that has never happened to me. I am sorry that happenned to you but its a bit unfair to call it our rom error. Maybe you still have the backups, in internal sd card??. If you read carefully, this kernel recovery looks for external sd backups by default first. You must select manually to look into internal sd for backups. Hope that is your case.

Thanks for you observations, you are correct, I will fix that. Again, thanks for the good observations.

You might be right there, it appears that rebooting thru OTA, or thru CWM even does not initiate a proper sequence, and just reboots, instead of unmounting usb storage devices. We will have to look at its code and figure out how to launch a shutdown/reboot to recovery, instead of just rebooting.

Rebooting through console also does this, just reboots without unmounting anything, as previously stated, CWM app does this as well, just reboots without any sequence. I had also noticed this and its definitively worth a shot. Although none of us 3 (pongster, petsasj or me) never had trouble with sdcard. Please not that we are not denying anything, it is just very difficult to fix a bug we are not experiencing due to the lack of information about it. Your comment has given some insights though. thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haasgo:
Crt isnt even enabled thats whats bugging me.

Normally crt is a white flash and yeah i know its kinda messy on the sgs 2 BUT this is NOT THE PROBLEM.

The problem actually is: eventhough crt is disabled it is still there. And not in the messy version, no, its just a flickering and not a flash. When screen turns off it just goes black but when i turn it on again it just doesnt do the same. There is a flaw in the upper part of the screen. Funny thing is that if i enable crt ON it also looks messed up as well. Its not a flash, no, picture just gets scrumbled and twisted. Screen off looks as always btw, no problems there.

Things i have tried: delta update 5.0.3 & 5.1.3 as well as wiping cache and dalvic. Deinstalling and reinstalling deluxe apk. Didnt dare to reinstall rom again due its a full wipe rom...

Am on v5 with all delta updates and docs surgeon.

Cheers mate, hope u can elaborate my problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
So you are using the flinger files from the galaxy note right?, the fancy rotation stuff?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haasgo:
Yeah the ones provided in HDP havent added any mod yet by myself.

Edit: just switched to stock via HDP and problem still persists.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] colatehjorth:
Well there is your problem. The fancy rotation animation ****s up the crt effect. The rotation animation is from Galaxy Note so that's why I believe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D.O.C:
Yes, those are buggy. As a matter of fact, when installing, a popup warning that reads "This mod is buggy, please do not report any issues at thread" appears on your screen :).

Those are flinger files from the samsung galaxy note. Just return to stock files and you will be as usual. Do it the same way you installed the fancy rotation stuff, but now, just select stock rotation.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haasgo:
crt is disabled, cause i dont use it. switching back didnt do the trick.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cliff03:
Im trying to run VooDoo LOUDER but in he driver configuration says:

thanks for help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] haasgo:
Kernel has been updated. Look several pages back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
Did you install the latest delta update ? If not then you need to.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CoffeeDroid:
Amazing update :)

i would like to thank all the team members for this great Rom , kernel and OTA tool :D

battery is .... like all your updates AMAZING ;)

what i love now is wireless and 3g signal become more stronger and 3g become faster :D

also loading games is faster then before :)

keep up the good work and thanks.

Happy new year :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Etihad:
Wow! This is another masterpiece. Smooth as silk. Battery life is amazing, 15 hours of heavy use with more than 3 hours of screen on time, WIFI always on, eMail sync every hour and still 20%.

4600+ points on Quadrant Benchmark, no OC or whatsoever, just plain HyperDroid power.

You guys ROCK!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] karlesg:
I don't know if 3g/signal reception is also kernel/rom/driver dependent. I think it's not, but devs should now better.

But if you didn't flash another modem it's very unlikely that you can really see a difference there.

Most probably it's a random change in the network from your provider or placebo.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cliff03:
delta update instaled :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yaronAD:
Just instaled the 5.0.3 >>delta5.1.3

it is empty?

It asks me to update"server configuration" on the setting menu ?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bmmaximus:
Defragmenting seemed to fix it I will see if it stays like this, haven't really tested it enough. Thanks so much for all your work and for this help. I really love this ROM

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gtizon:
Bro just use the default. And i guarantee you at least 4 hours of screen time. With wifi on. Or do a bit of undervolting 25mv each but it dont matter if u ask me. Default is good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dikai_yang:
If I just keep looping a divx movie from 100 to power off, I get 8.5 hours of screen time. For some reason since 4.4.7 the idle current draw is extremely low. Getting excellent standby time. Typically 1% every 2 to 3 hours (used to be 1% per hour). For people who get 1% drop every 8 hours that's only from 100 to 99%, which doesn't really count. In any case 2.3.6 really has a significantly noticible battery life improvement.

Normal usage about 4.5 hours screen on in 2 days. Or 5 hours screen on in 24 hours.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gtizon:
And this is on what brightness setting sir? Good stats!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dikai_yang:
I just got bored one day and decided to do an all day movie test. Brightness at 20%, solo governor 100-1000, default voltage. The movies run a bit more than 8 hours then it stops because the phone doesn't play movie at 1%. At this time, I just set screen to be always on. Power turns off at total 8:36 of screen time.

I use solo governor because when I leave the screen on without doing anything, it has the least frequency shift, stays at 100mhz. Other governors even if I don't do anything, frequently jumps to 200-500-800-1000 randomly too much.

I guess this is becos of the sampling period. But my experience goes as same with yours and I use solo as well... Gonna try lulv2 with some battery tweaks ;)

+1 4.4.7 was too good for me as well. Yet to test the best of v5.0.3
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbutandola:
Guys?

I don't use it because I prefer SwiftKey but for those who are interested, the original ICS keyboard can be found here. Just install as any apk. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cliff03:
Oh yeah I get 4 hours of screen time but like the idea of 6 or more with little tweaking I guess I'll play a bit with voltage.

How much undervolting is safe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gtizon:
It varies depending on phone. To be safe try 25mv and then adjust until well your phone starts to kinda freeze. Thats when you know youve reached your limit. But I just stuck with the default and all seems well.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] koluludome:
I flash dark MIUI and Lucid nontransparent. I have a problem with status bar after flash them through hyperdroid part. It show FC on dark MIUI and no status bar on Lucid one.

Another problem is I cant download mattedblack theme on hyperdroid part though I flash rom many times. Can I download it from any links ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
If I may chip in here, I've also had the experience of losing sdcard and external_sd several times on Hyperdroid, and most of the time (from observation) it happens when either an app (like Chainfire3D initial installation or some app error) makes the phone reboot without unmounting properly. As such, I don't even "dare" to use the power button options of Recovery to enter recovery in case of such occurrences. I'm just glad to find out I'm not alone here.

Thankfully it can be solved by wiping cache/dalvik cache (never had to fix permissions), and rebooting. Sometimes the first try won't work, but trying again usually works. Not sure why doing that fixes it. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
Try turning on filesyncing by echoing to system.

echo "0" /sys/module/sync/parameters/fsync_disabled
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] asphaltkiller:
I have exactly the same problem than you but deleting cache and dalvik didn t seem to work, i have experienced this problem 6 times, using chainfire or games and reboot..... never experienced this before....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iNeri:
Happen to me too once, im coming from batista rom, checkrom, stock and CM7. No such thing happen before until i install andromeida 4.0:eek:

I think the script for faster sd card read has something in common with these problems.:confused:

In fact, TI back up always frezees the phone when try backup hotmail apk using batch tool. So i flash speedmod kernel and the issue is gone couse i guess that kernel dont use that script in init.d folder.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] carlz0206:
hi just flashed your rom and enjoying it then flashed ics domination 1.7 and now i want to try to a surgeon,do i need to revert back and follow base+surgeon+another theme or i can just flash it over my current rom with theme?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
Yes.

No such problems here. Can't fix what I can't reproduce.

I reboot at least 20 times a day... to test scripts, tweaks, new kernels, new ROMs and have no such problem.

Try the "test fix" I posted above your posts...

Re: Titanium No freeze when backing up anything or restoring anything using batch tool. I use this at least 10 times a day (as I flash fresh about 10 times a day)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
I presume I can do this via a terminal app as well? Or is adb needed cos I'm not near a PC. :D

And is there any advantage/disadvantage to using this command? Will it ensure the problem won't happen until a reflash? :D

Sorry....many question, cos I know nuts. :(

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Did encounter this as well on previous version of Hyperdroid before 4.4.7....thankfully it has disappeared since then. I always chalked it down to the fact that my Titanium Backup was located on external_sd....evidently not. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
should work from terminal... but easiest way is to put that line in an init.d script and reboot. put it in S99Complete
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pongster:
I suggest:

reflash Base

then surgeon

then another theme...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
There's also a few different ports on the market, all pretty much complete and working.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Ah yes....that reminded me of the first time I encountered this problem. Cleared internal sd, removed external sd, both no go. Reinstalled the entire rom after wiping out everything via recovery solved it.

It's times like this I thank God for Titanium Backup. :D Because Nandroid just doesn't give enough control over the restoration process. :(

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Oh....init.d scripts are beyond my knowledge. :D Maybe it will be included by default in a future Hyperdroid update. :D But I will try it. It's the S99complete file in /system/etc/init.d right? Just adding the line in will do? Does the position of the line matter?

Besides, it's a rare event and hard to replicate (not that I would want to actively do that :))

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

I'm curious....how do you reboot? Via the "incomplete" way where it goes black straight away? Or the original method where it takes its own sweet time to dismount before going to work. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] carlz0206:
restoring to base rom now...

whats the + with surgeon coz i read the 2nd post regarding the topic but still cant get the full grasp of it ?

can you pls tell me if this is the correct procedure in editing surgeon b4 flashing it

extract updater-script, then erase line(aps) you dont want to be replaced using tx editor then replace the updater script in meta-inf/com/google/amdroid.then flash it in recovery.

if i flash your surgeon will it be compatible with ics domination v1.7?

maraming salamat po...

lost ext sdcard

Sorry to open up the can of worms about this but as I said I do flash ROM's for "fun" about 4 - 8 times per week and have for years. (Granted I probably haven't done 1000's as was pointed out before)

But what I hope is looked at and recognized is that this is the only ROM that I have ever had my external sdcard wiped as a result of flashing the ROM. (I had about 10 different backups on the card - CM7, CM9, MIUI and various others)

I would also like to make sure that it is pointed out that flashing this ROM was where I lost my EFS as well.

To be constructive I believe that it has something to do with the way this ROM is flashed or maybe the kernel or something but I pleading for the developers to not take offense and see if maybe there is something that can be fixed.

I do appreciate the work and realize that we benefit from the work for free - so thank you

BTW - I was unable to get my backups back by wiping caches and rebooting !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ballmead:
Just a little word to say that, as usual, I am enjoying the new ROM and kernel.

No issues at all with my I9100T.

Good work yet again Hyperdroid team.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbutandola:
As long as you haven't downloaded anything to your sdcard the data should still be there. There are some programs that recover the deleted data that you could use on your pc. It might work. I once recovered some deleted pics that way. Was long ago so I can think of the name of the application I used at the time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
To be clear, you mean it is completely wiped but you can still access it's full space via the phone?

Because I've flashed this rom since the beginning, and while we are discussing about sdcard/external_sd not mounting, it's is not the same as what you appear to be encountering. And it doesn't appear anyone else has the same problem, so it "might" not be related to this rom.....of course it might be, but we have to look at the probabilities. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] D3_:
Doc replied to you earlier, you would've seen it if you read the thread since your post.

The gist of his reply was that in recovery rather than selecting "restore from SD card" you have to select "restore from internal SD card" as the guys at the hyperdroid team feel the external SD card is a safer place to keep backups and so the default backup/restore location is the external SD card.

Although from reading this post I'm not sure if that's what your problem is. I don't see any reason for it to wipe your external SD, is it possible you did it accidentally? For example in the mounts/storage section of recovery if you were wiping /system manually?

Also regarding the efs, as far as I know installing this rom will automatically create a backup of your efs.

Edit: kenkiller brings up a good point, is it possible the SD card just isn't mounting? Check in settings>storage. Or if it's using an ntfs file system you'll have to go into the hyperdroid parts > androidmeda tweaks and mount the SD card as ntfs.

Yes I believe that's right, you delete the line in the updater script for the apps you don't want removed. Any apps you don't want themed you'll have to go into system/app in the surgeon .zip and delete its folder.

I don't know what XDA has done to me, it's 4:30 am and I'm here trying to help people out when I need to be waking up in 3.5 hours :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ItsMyMama:
Can anyone help me with this problems?

1. In Go Sms, the pop up window doesnt fit the whole screen on 192 DPI.

2. The status bar is gone in the browser.

3. Any keyboard that works well with 192 DPI?(Apart from the HTC one)

Sorry if this has been posted before and happy belated new year :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
1) It's normal. Go bug the Go SMS dev if u want their popup windows to scale to different DPIs.

2) It's normal for this rom. Replace it manually if u want...search for past discussion on this "issue" in this thread.

3) Swype works fine. In fact I think most keyboards on the market work fine at different DPI values.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ItsMyMama:
Thanks for the quick reply.
