exchange sync error

I am not connecting to google. My gmail is fine. It's my main work email which is exchange hosted and setting up was fine on my stock rom but for some reason this rom gives error during setup. So I was wondering if there is any fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
you notice battery life after only a couple hours of the new release being out. thats amazing. i wish i could do that. lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
?? This shouldn't be affected by which ROM you're on. Did you restore data to it with TiBu? Did you check Market reviews to see if others are experiencing that? Did you properly wipe when flashing from Cognition?

Is there a way to revert the crt animation mod? Just in case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desiromeo719:
The new crt animation seems weird and slow...now I can actually see things on my screen move real quick to the center when it animates...don't like it

On another note I used to get erratic Swype behavior when trying to type while phone is plugged in to charge...that has been solved with the update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Yeah, you can go straight to v2.1.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Romee74:
Just restored my nandroid backup of 1.3.2 and still had the slow download speeds. Ate dinner and tried again and got a little over 4.5mbps down.

Restored nandroid of 2.1. Again had slow download speed. Put my phone down while eating dessert and got 4.5 again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
I can make a revert. Only takes a second.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EPC7:
FINALLY hit enough posts to comment in this thread @.@

Brilliant ROM, been using it since 14 hours after getting my grubby mitts on my SGS II. I really like 2.1.0 so far.

Though, I'm having some oddness with my CRT off animation on v4, and it's annoying enough that I think I might want to remove it for now. Is there an elegant way to remove it, or should I revert to my CWM backup and reflash up to 2.1.0 without installing the CRT animation?

There is a more elegant way. Check the addons section of the first post.

Dear lord, I had to read 50+ pages to catch up. :P

Great work, my Quadrant score was over 5000 at 1.6GHz/conservative, which is much higher than the 4200-4400 I got before. Due to kernel?

Data seemed a bit faster at work when downloading my podcasts, but not much.

My only request is a minor one: Can we make 5 icon docks the default? It should space properly if people only want 4 icons on it.

I'm not seeing this one, the wallpaper I had on 1.3.x and 2.0 looks exactly as it did on 2.1. Granted, I didn't actually CHANGE my wallpaper between flashes...

Just flash the 2.1 Full rom over the 1.3.0 install you have. Don't do a wipe/factory reset, and everything will be intact.

Thanks gtg465x for the fast fix. You rock bro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
Any idea what the issue is with moving apps to/from sd card? Two out of three times, it will fail and I've found that going into task manager and clearing the ram allows me to move one or two apps before i have to clear ram again. Maybe minor, but it's frustrating?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
WOW you had it fixed before I typed my message in the box.

Downloading now. Many thanks for all you do!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Never experienced that. Assuming it's not just a problem with your SD card, it would be something Samsung needs to fix.

Interesting. I've been doing speed tests all day, and could never break 1.1 or so down.

Immediately after flashing from 2.0.0 t0 2.1.1, I am seeing 2.5-3 down.

Could be a coincidence, I guess, but it seems unlikely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dukestr:
Just finished flashing 2.1.1. I plug in my headphones to listen to music, YouTube and it seems that it's not working. Audio is only coming out from speaker.

It was working fine on 2.0.a

May be a bad flash. I just tested my headphones on 2.1.1 and they're working fine on music, Youtube, etc...

Can anyone suggest a decent editor to edit the hosts file? The built in text editor truncates the file. I had to disable ad blocking via the market app because it wreaks havoc with my non gmail email for some reason. This ROM seems to be doing the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TinyRK:
Great ROM.

The only thing I don't like is, that every time I flash one, a full update is available again :D

I flashed 1.3.x, and the next day 2.0.0 was out. So now I flashed 2.1.0, and you throw 2.1.1 out there.... :D

I have not found any obvious bugs yet, which is great.

Anyways, thanks for your effort.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arctia:
Just adding another success case. Flashed from 2.0.0 to 2.1.1, no wipe or anything, flashed fine. Both ADWEx and TW Working well.

You can flash 2.1.1 onto 2.1 without doing a full wipe just so you know.

I found that yes, contact pictures updating requires that sns be installed and the facebook option active. I have sns installed and everything but facebook and sns image cache* frozen and it works fine without any notable battery drain.

*I think it is called image cache, if it isn't it is something similar.

Thanks gtg!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] litesout:
One odd thing since flashing 2.1.1. After a reboot the icons in the dock disappear for a few seconds. All I have down there is the applications icon. Phone, messaging, and Web go away. Then after a few seconds they come back. Wallpaper seems to be fine. Data speed also seems to be back to stock ROM speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] litesout:
Ha! Seems like it sometimes. I think there's actually a line in there somewhere that blocks images from the server. I don't get anything but straight text with the ad blocking enabled. As an alternative, does anyone have the original, unaltered hosts file?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
In my opinion, no ROM should ever come with a hacked hosts file by default - too many negative side effects (some apps won't run with a hacked hosts file, also blocking by IP and not full URL/protocol sometimes leads to legit stuff getting caught, such as in the case of the guy whose email doesn't work)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Romee74:
Thanks for fixing the icon dock at the bottom of the screen.

My data speeds are back to normal if not above. I think it might have had something to do with wiping dalvik cache but not sure.

I also have that! I have wiped 10 times! Everything works, and most of my apps are on my external

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
get Adfree for Android from the market. it has a revert button that will reset your hosts file for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Sounds like you just unlocked too quickly, while media scanner was still running and before the launcher had time to fully load.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
I used to never include it, but I got tired of reading "please include ad blocking" every other page in my ROM threads.

Also, the hosts file I'm using doesn't block by IP, but by URL. It looks like this:

127.0.0.1 ads.roiserver.com
127.0.0.1 ads.rol.ro
127.0.0.1 ads.rondomondo.com
127.0.0.1 ads.roundads.com
127.0.0.1 ads.royalmail.com
127.0.0.1 ads.rpgdot.com
127.0.0.1 ads.rpgui.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Huh? The guy you quoted never said he was getting restarts. That's the first report I've seen of infinite restarts when moving apps to/from SD and installing addons. I've tested both and haven't had any problems. Really sounds like a problem with your SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
No I'm not getting restarts. Just move an app to sd, try the next says failed to move blah blah... Clear ram, will then move the previously failed app then maybe move another one before failing. Has happened on multiple sd cards, tested fine on other platforms. Oh well, once their moved it's not an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gogorman:
I haven't tried it yet as I don't have my phone on me right now, but with a previous release the Ad Blocking was preventing Hulu from loading.

Removing the ad blocking (via Ad Blocker I think???) fixed the problem, but of course we get ads now.

Is there a way to alter the hosts file to allow Hulu but block other ads?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgarrido:
+1, would be nice to find a way to allow Hulu but block ads. I noticed this on my last ROM (Cog).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
gtg465x - you are amazing. Thanks for your hard work and the fantastic support. A small donation is on the way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] litesout:
I've got to agree with this. Ad free is on the market for those who want to indiscriminately block via the hosts file. I was able to go into my nandroid backup from the stock ROM and grab the default hosts file. Solved all my problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That's blocking by host, not full URL - sometimes there are cases where a host has legitimate content and also ads.

Probably better to have a CWM-flashable adblocker addon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chmcke01:
I think I have the same issue

I didn't attribute it to the HOST file until just now, but now that I am thinking about it I have received two Newegg ads since updating to 2.1.0 and both show up without images and without the option to show images (because it is setup to always show images).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Yea please remove ad blocking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] litesout:
That's the hosts file. Its blocking the pictures and wont allow you to pull any of the links in the email.

I hadn't thought of installing ad free as a way of removing the hosts modifications. I thought it backed up your existing hosts file when you first ran it and the revert option would just restore the backup. If the original hosts file was already modified, you would just be going back to the original modified file. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure that's how that particular app works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] torrin66:
I like the host blocking built in, but I would not complain about it if it was not there.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] songyop:

This ROM is simply great!

Unlike other ROMs that I have tried, I haven't had a single problem with this ROM over multiple versions.

In appreciation, I've sent a small token of appreciation via PayPal.

Thanks and keep up the good work!:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I only complain because now my email images are being blocked and I would like to be able tto see them. If he can fix it then that would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] torrin66:
I understand. I love the built in, since I can be lazy and see no images when I play ad based games. :) I read most non-work email on my laptop, so no worries for me on images.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gogorman:
I think you can "revert" to a stock type hosts file.

Even without one on there to begin with.

This is what I did (i'm 99% sure) with a previous version of the ROM to get Hulu working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nismax:
hey guys any way to remove from dock where you have phone messaging web application i want to remove messaging and have textfree app in its place? besides that this rom is greaaaaaaaaaaat. thank you so much for this my first rom on gs2 and i am loving it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Yeah, it seems to have worked...Installed Ad Free > open Ad Free and when prompted, select 'Boot Normally' > Install Updates > Reboot phone > 'Revert' > Reboot phone and now my images show up again in gmail (images from Newegg's shocker deals alert were being blocked).

However, it seems that I may ahve to redo this since I think I had a bad flash when I updated from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1.

My data connection is really wonky (no, not my WiFi connection...that's working fine since I do NOT have a Belking router)...Market and other apps (e.g.: Engadget, Facebook) are having a really hard time connecting.

I'm going to download the FULL 2.1.1 later when I get home from work and install it on top of my 2.1.0 - 2.1.1 udpate w/o wiping to see if that'll fix it!

LOL - this means that the ad-blocking will probably reinstall which means I'll have to go thru the Ad Free instructions again to remove it. :p

***Edit*** <--> Spoke to soon...somehow the ad blocking is still kicking in and I've gone into /system/etc/hosts and it ONLY shows 127.0.0.1 localhost.

There aren't any others listed but no images show in the bodies of my emails from legit senders/vendors such as Costco, Walmart, Target, Newegg, etc. Looking forward to 2.1.2 w/o the ad block host file. Dunno what's going on with the phone right now and my 3G/H+ data is still acting up....can't wait to get home to see if the FULL 2.1.1 install will help. :(

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

I believe you just hit the menu button and then click edit. From there you should be able to replace whatever dock icons you want. I removed the stock SMS icon and have Go SMS Pro in my dock now. (It's been forever since I swapped it out tho so I don't remember the exact steps...)

I hope I've at least pointed you in the right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jirv311:
I put ad blocking in my ROMs when I built a couple for the Captivate and I like it. I say leave it in and point people to a revert. Or people can just change it themselves.

Open /system/etc/hosts in Text Editor and delete everything except:

127.0.0.1	localhost

No more ad blocking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gary86:
gtg, are you going to fix this as stated in first post

Google Voice Annoyance/Bug

I have a minor annoyance/bug when using Google Voice to make calls.

It displays a pop up box that says "Calling via %s" instead of "Calling via Google Voice" (I'm assuming).

Anyone else get this?

I know this has been documented elsewhere, but users reported a fix via an update to their Galaxy S2's.

Would that be a fix that could be solved easily?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rescue9:
A lot of posts are talking about the ad-blocking hosts file that GTG uses and how to revert. However, I just installed the 2.1.1 full version over 1.3.2 and see no ad-blocking hosts file. My hosts file is empty except for the localhost line.

Not trying to be sarchastic, but are you guys even sure you have the ad-blocking hosts file? If so, can you comment on whether you upgraded to 2.1.1 or installed the full version over a previous version.
