CWM from unnamed...

Not sure if there is something different about CWM Recovery in unnamed or where it's sourced from. Using that CWM Recovery in it's zImage, however I've just encountered a very distressing issue... (this is likely the wrong thread for this post, but I'm not sure where the proper place is.)

I keep all my nandroid backups on a microSD card (which means I have to use the options for backing up and restoring from the 'internal' card... which is backwards, but not a major problem.)

Anyway, I did a restore tonight of a backup I did a few hours ago, and the restore seemed to work fine. No unusual errors, etc. However, the phone wouldn't boot up afterwards. It'd get stuck at the very first samsung logo splash screen and nothing else would happen. Not able to get into recovery either (which normally happens AFTER the first splash screen clears.)

I was able to get into ODIN/download mode, thankfully, so was able to at least get booting again (and flashed a stock/rooted image.) Tried to restore that same nandroid backup a second time, but resulted in the exact same problem. Re-flashed with ODIN...

Restored a nandroid backup I made a day earlier, and everything worked fine.

All that being said... is there a more appropriate thread I should be reporting this to? I'll pull a copy of that "bad" backup (and will keep the previous one) in case they can be useful for the proper person to toubleshoot with..

My suspicion is that the boot.img that nandroid made was corrupted. This is perhaps confirmed by diff'ing the boot.img from the new (bad) backup with the older (good) backup: They are different. However, the 'boot.img' from all the previous backups I've made since flashing unnamed (other than the recent bad one) are identical.

Thanks

Gary

Initially i suspected the same thing..I doublechecked it....i flashed the 1.3.1 full zip...I'm well aware of supplemental updates...as I stated before Ive flashed and bricked my captivate many many times due to carelessness goto noobness...I'm going back to bone stock and starting over..I don't want whatever bug that allowed me to download one simple ROM with no sweat and have this much of a headache with another simple ROM flash....especially if down the line I do decide to go wit a radical rom that will certainly paperweight my phone with a wrong move...

List of known issues?

I am getting my SGS2 (AT&T) on December 1st, and am planning to either just root but keep the stock ROM or use this ROM as it seems to be by far the most stable.

However, I know all ROMs have issues. I saw in the first post the updates but is there a list of things that don't work in this ROM (such as, in other ROMs I have read about the video recording doesn't work unless you do it a specific way).

Is there any such list? If not, can anyone post a short list of the things they can think of that this ROM can't do that the stock can?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
So far I'm not having any issues with this ROM. Everything works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Keep in mind that this ROM (unlike cyanogen) is actually based on the stock ROM. Several "stock" apps, widgets, etc. that are considered "bloat" by most people have been removed from this ROM, so I guess that those things (listed on the original post) are items that the stock ROM can do that this one can't. Other than other items also listed in the original first post, the only thing I can think of is:

1. The stock ROM is able to use up more power than this one given the same apps running and usage patterns.

Take care

Gary

(it's not really a ROM... if it was, we couldn't change or update it without opening the case and changing out chips.)

What do the addons and apps do?

I saw that there are addons to enable features that had been disabled and install apps that had been removed...but I don't know what they do and clicking on them just takes you to a page to download it.

I am sorry if this is totally basic, but the SGS2 will be my first Android phone...I currently have an iPhone 4 and before that I had an iPhone 3G and before that I just used dumb phones (standard flip phones and the like).

Anyway,

*What is the CRT Screen off animation? Why would I want it?

*The double tap feature just means that Vlingo would pop up when double tapping the home button?

*Why would I want to disable the ICS animations?

*What does "show true connection status" mean?

*What is AP Mobile and why would I want it?

*Same question as above for the remaining three apps (News and Weather, Social Hub and sns accounts, and voice command and voice talk).

And my final question (for now at least, lol)...

*Does this ROM still support the "driving mode" where the phone will read you incoming texts and allow you to reply entirely just using your voice like is shown on the SGS2 commercials?

EDIT: If so, can you do other things while in driving mode (for example, if I am using Navigon or Sygic or some other navigator app, will the phone still read me my text and allow me to respond).

So, in other words you are saying this ROM has better than stock battery life? Or is that not what you meant by the stock ROM using up more power?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
For me personally, the fact that those are gone is amazing. It took out things like myat&t and family tracker, and the popular app thing at&t put in. I've never used those and they just run in the back ground taking up ram(not that i'm particularly worried I won't have enough) it's just a "free-er" phone now. It also added features that at&t left out. I'm yet to try nfc but I love the restart option and the display settings for movies as well as the Swype skin and tweak to messaging. I almost broke the phone cuz I was so frustrated with hitting the attachment button in messaging when the suggestion window went down in the stock ROM. I hated that with a firey passion. I love messaging now. Love the theme too, the sticky note look. This ROM made me love the phone I liked. As cheesy as that sounds.

I will say that I had stability problems on my Inspire 4G with custom ROMs so it's back to the stock 2.3.3 ROM from AT&T. And with how risky and difficult the HTC rooting procedure is it'll likely stay stock. It almost seems like Samsung wants you to root with how easy it is, or I guess has been made by the devs here.

Yes this ROM does get significantly better battery life compared to stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
For most users who are using it, this ROM has a better than stock battery life. This is likely accomplished in two ways:

First, some of the bloat that was removed would normally start up on its own and consume CPU cycles and/or cause a "sleeping" phone to wake up (and stay awake for a time) when you aren't using it (which, in turn, consumes battery power.)

Secondly, this ROM actually replaces the linux kernel with one slightly modified and recompiled to be more efficient. (This is a slight simplification... for more details, read the various threads in this forum.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] termleech:
This should probably be moved to the qa forum but I'll go ahead and answer.

The CRT off animation makes the screen do an animation like the old crt monitors when you turn off tge screen. Some people like it some don't. Personal preference.

I don't know why you would want to disable ics animations. Personal choice.

The phone will show H as the connection even if you aren't in an HSPDA+ area. This will show the true network (3g vs H aka fake 4g).

AP mobile is a news app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
To build on this, the pos apps that came with the phone that supposedly mimic siri are taken off because they are just copies of parts of vlingo which is a free app and works better. It really does.

That's what reads your messages for you and whatnot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
Thanks!

Thats what I was thinking. But to clarify, this will still work by using driving mode? The most important feature is that the commercial says it all works hands free while in driving mode....so it works hands free in driving mode still even with using the market version of Vlingo and will automatically read incoming texts to me and allow me to reply all with my voice?

Does it have BLN?

Natively. And BLN is kernel dependent. GTG hasn't updated with Entropy's updated kernel, but you can easily flash it yourself and have it (provided you also get the correct lights.so file to go with it).

large battery discrepancy upon reboots?

Anyone have any problems with their battery percentage being off by a pretty large amount after a reboot? This has happened a few times over just the past couple days and I'm not sure what to look to first to diagnose the issue. Basically my phone will show something like 55% in the status bar gauge but after I reboot, it then shows 38%. Last night it was very large difference, it went from around 47% to like 13% after a reboot.

This last time was also during a point where I noticed the phone was incredibly warm in my pocket and only had Angry Birds running in the background. I killed the process and it still stayed warm for quite a while. After I finally rebooted, I noticed the huge drop in batt %.

Any ideas what I should do short of a complete wipe and reloading UnNamed from scratch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mawells787:
This just started happening to me. I still don't know whats the culprit. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Well I noticed my battery was at 39% for a bit just now and decided to reboot. Still showed 39% upon power off and reboot. I then powered down, pulled the battery for about 30 seconds and upon reboot it was at 33%.

I'm going to wipe and reinstall. Can't rely on mixed up percentages. :(

200/1000

conservative governor

noop i/o scheduler

I have JD set to turn off data if i'm on wifi, haven't missed any texts or calls, 1.5 second button backlight, 30 second screen timeout, about 30% brightness.

UN 1.3.1, CRT animation turned on...

Put it in airplane mode overnight (but it still woke up to try and do something, not sure what).

One gmail push account, two other accounts, one is push during off-peak hours, every hour during peak, the other is synced every 2 hours.

Bluetooth music was playing for about an hour in the middle of the evening.

Well for one thing, rebooting does use some battery. Also, Samsung's fuel gauge within the kernel can be a bit finicky at times when rebooting. Nothing to worry about. You could ask Entropy about it, but I doubt there's anything he can do in his kernel to prevent that from happening occasionally.

I'm having an issue where all the third party MMS programs FC when I create a new mms message and try to record audio to include with it. This includes chompsms, go SMS, and handcent. However, the stock SMS/MMS app deals with this just fine (and brings up the voice recorder app.).

If someone else is using one of those SMS apps, can you please try to start a message and record new audio? (it seems to work to attach preexisting audio.)

I'm trying to figure out if the issue is specific to my phone setup, to unnamed, or to the gs2 in general. Google doesn't bring up anything related, so I'm guessing it's not a gs2 overall issue, but perhaps related to something removed in this rom (or something I messed up myself.)

Take care

I THINK I'm having a weird issue.

I'm running latest UnNamed & latest Entropy DD kernel. My phone WOULD NOT stay off when charging. I had just turned it off my phone to charge it. As soon as I plug it in, a couple of seconds later, my phone would turn on. After it boots to the Pin Code attempt (to unlock my phone), it gives me a warning to close all unused apps because the battery is low.

If it helps, I'm using the battery & charger that came with the phone (by default). I doubt it's the hardware since this is the first time this has happened.
