@ _n0p_ : the music hack seems very interesting. will there be any more updates on this? Maybe a performance mod like in 351? thanks for your work!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Actually, "Performance fix" is DJ_Steve's kernel, which has Brain **** Scheduler and overclock patch applied. Why don't you use it?My point was keeping the stock one with simple binary change - as Dell don't provide sources.

--

Right now i'm using StreakDroid 2.4 (modded myself) - main change is almost (at least I didn't encounter any in two days) absent random reboots.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tazzz811:
@_n0p_

just wanna verify if this kernel contains lowmemorykiller? because almost all custom roms don't have it... I have modded simplestreak 1.3 beta 4 and come up with let_the_game_begins v1.0 which composed of the following:

Theme: GingerKrad

Baseband: 403 (from StreakDroid 2.3 by fards)

Tweaks: ltgbnitro tweaks (collaboration of tweaks i used before with LG O1 P500, Samsung Galaxy Ace & the Nitro Lag Nullifier of V6 Supercharger)

Added some picked ringtones & notifications from Zedge

Default BootAnimation: DukeOS Duke Nukem Forever

The only concern i have in mind is the lowmemorykiller not available from different custom roms except for the stock ones..

I've modified stock kernel binary.
[Galaxy S II General] Xerovius:
I'm no expert when it comes to displays, but reading about AMOLED screens and PenTile "technology" (namely PenTile RGBW), I would like to discuss another possible color matrix that, for one reason or another hasn't come to fruition.

As you may know, there is the traditional Red Green Blue layout, and then there's the PenTile layout:

And then there's Pentile RGBW which adds a white subpixel while maintaining a 2 subpixel per pixel matrix:

So then what about a pixel array with the best of worlds?:

Red Green Blue White (4 subpixels per pixel)

Pros (Speculation)

Brighter display

Longer lasting red, green and blue OLEDs (due to only 1 OLED subpixel needed to display whites [a frequently displayed color] instead of 3 which would inadvertently preserve battery life)

Crisper, sharper, and not as blurry (compared to regular PenTile method)

Cons

Higher manufacturing cost.

Processor/GPU would have to process a lot more subpixels, which may lead to higher battery usage and less responsiveness/lag

So I see 4 possible pros, and 3 possible cons.

I would love to hear others opinions on this.
[Galaxy S II General] dainys:
Would be ok, but:

1. White diodes are made from 3 RGB diodes inside it. So not cheaper nor better batery life.

2. For example if you need just plain white screen you wouldn't get it because there will be large dark gaps between white diodes. You would get grey screen. So no brighter screen.

3. There are no problems with green and red diodes, only blue one has short life span.
[Galaxy S II General] Xerovius:
I'm talking about a white or "clear" OLED though, not LED, it's already used in PenTile RGBW. Nevertheless, it would still cost more.

Hmm, that is a good point. I hadn't taken into account that the white OLED would only take up 25% of the pixel block rather than 33%, a substantial decrease of 8%.

I know, it would still mean that the lifespan would be extended for all of them due to less usage :P
[Galaxy S II General] dainys:
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compounds instead of semiconductor material like Aluminium gallium arsenide in LED. That is the difference. There are a lot of more LEDs like Polymer LED, Quantum dot LEDs and so on.

Meanwhile the physic of forming colors is the same despite what produces the light. There are two primary ways of producing high intensity white-light using LEDs. One is to use individual LEDs that emit three primary colors—red, green, and blue—and then mix all the colors to form white light. The other is to use a phosphor material to convert monochromatic light from a blue or UV LED to broad-spectrum white light

Yes, although there are OLEDs which can sustain 400 cd/m2 of luminance for over 198,000 hours for green OLEDs and 62,000 hours for blue OLEDs and there is no need more :)
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
so, blue OLED would run for approximately 7 years... well, no problem, i change my phone within one year :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g2tl:
Actually, I know what I want to do. I want to get 5 iphone4s' or something and sell them.

The question is, will at&t leave me alone when they find out that I'm not using any of these phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GTTG_Atomik:
Wouldn't bother them. You already extended your contract. You will need to go to the store and get regular SIM as the ones in the phones will be active with the numbers you upgraded. Once you get the new SIMs you'll have to change your data packages back to what they were by changing back the IMEIs you had before the upgrade as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
the IPhone 4 and 4s take completely different sims than the other phones they are like micro compared to normal sims. I have posted a pic of them. You will definately need to go get a normal sized sim...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Your responses make no sense when you take into account the fact that he already has 5 phones, which means he has 5 sim cards. Why would he need to get different sim cards to swap back? Oh, that's right. He wouldn't.

Are you just throwing out random facts for no reason?

Also, it is your choice to do whatever with the phones. AT&T can't restrict you on who or where the phone can go to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g2tl:
Thanks for your feedback everyone.

As far as I know/remember, I didn't need to use the sim card they provided; the one I've been using worked.

I guess I'll be posting this on marketplace now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Here are the potential issues.

First you have to get 5 of them. In years past they have put 2 per customer restrictions on them, so you might be making 3 stops, or waiting for shipping. They sell so high because people have a hard time finding one in stock. The price will drop once they are easy to find. Even though they are a disappointing upgrade, they still have an apple on back, so they will sell lots and fast.

Next the SIMs, the pictures don't show a door on the 4S. With the sprint and vz phones being international the SIM might not come out, all phones may have one permanently. Your old 5 SIMs will immediately stop working. You will need to contact att to get them working again. With how busy the stores will be, this may be a very long phone call, during which time all your old phones wont work.

Next features. The data plans for iPhones won't work with any other phones. This will be part of your long call, switching 5 data plans back to the old style. Also the visual voicemail on the iPhone will deactivate the normal voicemail, and will have to be switched back and setup again. Also if you have a data+text combined data plan I have heard you lose that, and can't get it back. But the family plans have a different setup, and that may not apply. If you buy them online you may lose the unlimited data, if you have it, which you cab get back, but it requires some escalation at att to put it back.

So, if you can get 5 iPhones you'll make a quick Buck, but it is going to be a headache and takes hours of your time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
+1 ^^^^

And if you don't have data plan on one of your lines, you could be stuck with minimal $15/per line/per month * 24 months = $360 extra charges per line. If you bought from AT&T store, you may be able to drop the data afterwards. But if you purchased through 3rd party, you may be charged extra$$ if you change your plan within certain periods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
You need new Sims because there is a size difference. I support these on a daily basis. That's why I posted the pic of the 2 different sims.

I'm sure at&t will swap your sim out without too much pain
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pokey9000:
Problem solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
There you go, buy the a adapters, or just call att and have then reassign the SIM cards you already have. Somehow this solution seems harder than the free lengthy phone call.

Sent from my SGS II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g2tl:
Very interesting. I guess I should try one line and see what happens.

Or maybe I should get an att gs2 and sell it for less profit (and headache)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Or ... better yet, keep the SGS II, they are Amazing!! You will have a hard time letting it go once you play with it.

But, yes the SGS II uses the same data and set up as any android smartphone, so it should cause less changes to your account.

Is my sig from xda app not that obvious? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
I've talked at length about this with people I know at att stores. The only stipulation from their end is that a smart phone continues to get used on each line.

The discount they give on their smart phones is based on making more money per month off you based on the smart phone internet charge. As long as that doesn't change they don't care, at least in a technical sense. They won't like it but they can't and won't stop you.

Money talks.

Yeah, I missed it on that reply, plus my eyes are trained to look for the att version:i777. :)

Is there a mod or any other way to rotate sense 3.0 itself.

And I don't mean by using GO launcher etc.

I think the answer would be no, not possible at the moment.
[HTC Sensation] cdman1980:
thx, will go for sense 3.5 then.
[Galaxy S II General] a3ke:
Hi Guru's ,

Sounding verry n00bish yes but halp needed

my HTC TYTN II had no secrets anymore for me so it was time to upgrade :p

I read up on kernels flashing etc and then descided to get on it

got Odin , insecure kernel (CF-Root 4.0.0.2) , and a rom (was villain 3.0)

did it all correct , kernel ok , yellow triangle and original os booted up ok

CWM , clear all and reset etc , install zip , succesfully and reboot

sticks in reboot , endless yellow triangle ...

oh wel , np , i'll redo it from original

all steps ok untill other rom , bam , stuck in boot

crap , so , again

I now descided to go for the CM 7.1 that was just launched "stable"

Other CWM and kernel from their Wiki , gives me a insecure boot (triangle) to original and ok

into CWM (4.0.1.5) , all steps again , install zip from sd card , no zip (while its on for sure !)

formatted all known formats and put zip on , doesn't see it

was pissed like **** then and re-done it serveral times , no go

tried , from stock again and again to get it working

and found the intermediate problem , CWM 4.0.1.5 !

did the >CF rooot 4.0.0.2 etc and found the zip on card that 4.0.1.5 didn't never see (wtf ?)

tried CM 7.1 then , succesfully ... reboot , nope stays booting yellow triangle

tried 2 other rom's then and a nightly CM 7.1 with the CF-root also , no show

what am I doing wrong , does anyone recognise this ? :(

and maybe this post is better to be in Q&A I now think
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
Welcome to the S2 community :P

So, CM 7.1 sitting on yellow triangle happened to me too, be sure to:

from clockworkmod recovery:

Wipe data/cache (factory reset)

Wipe cache

advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

mount & Storage -> format system

Then flash cm 7.1 again.

If it still sit down on yellow triangle, redo all the above, yes also the flashing (for the 2nd time in a row, i know) , and usually it will finally reboot in a working CM 7.1

Let me know if this helped or not

And yes, better in Q&A
[Galaxy S II General] a3ke:
Thx for the welcome :)

Let me go and redo this exactly as you said right now
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
dont forget to nandroid backup your working configuration before all
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
I've been switching between stock rom to CM7 etc. for a while now, and it seems like I always have to flash the CM7 twice for it to work ;)
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
yes, As For my above instructions, seems for some reason 2x flash in a row are needed. But from when i format system, it works in a single flash
[Galaxy S II General] tonycfc:
Yup, definitely need to flash the CM7 package twice in a row. My trick is to flash it once, then reboot into CWM again and flash the package again! Hope it all goes well for you. :)
[Galaxy S II General] a3ke:
I can happely confirm doing it all twice exactly in a row does the trick :)

Cm 7.1 (nightly 82) running smoothly

Can anyone confirm my idea on following :

when I start configuring contacts mailsettings etc and save then

Then do a nandroid backup (via cwm the same ???)

And I put a new rom or newer version of rom on it

If I restore , does it restore everything as a "mirror" or just the settings i made

If everything , is there a program that does what I mentioned (just the personal settings mailsettings ed ?
[Galaxy S II General] tonycfc:
If you backup your ROM using CWM Nandroid recovery (booted using the volume up + home + power button combo), you will have a mirror image of everything on your phone right now. A Titanium Backup is useful if you were to transfer your user apps from one ROM to another after a full wipe; wise to do a full wipe moving from a different ROM to another.

You can restore your CWM Nandroid backup in case anything happens.

Another point I would like to add is if you are updating from an earlier version of CM7, you can just flash the upate package without any wipe. You will not loose data in the process.

Hi guys,

after reading all of the threads about Google Music without find a solution, I've to ask if someone has been able to install Google Music and using it.

I've a stock Samsung Galaxy ACE, I've an account to Google Music already activated, and I've already successfully used Google Music app in my old HTC Tattoo with CyanogenMod ROM, but none of the apk founded seems to function on my ACE (some closes after the start, some does not find any songs in my list)

Thanks in advance

it installs on my ACE, but no "Music" appears on Google sync settings neither music appears in library (I've more that 70 songs added on my Music account). Plus, in music settings there aren't login information and no request to access Google Account asked after first time run.

I've tryed to uncheck "Automatic restore" in Privacy Android settings and check/uncheck "Auto-sync" as I've read in other threads but without results.

What can I try now?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmonty:
Hi Guys,

Unfortunately I have to send my SGS2 back to Orange UK. I've had the phone for 4 days but I've got 2 issues with it... Battery warning while charging " too hot or too cold " and now I've found I'm also getting the Echo issue when I've got the case on.

I've looked into both the issues and they're both very common, so although this is by far the best phone I've had ( and I've had a few ) I simply can't keep it. I'm not going get the SGS2 replaced like for like, so my question is :

If you were in the market for an upgrade right now, what would you go for ? unfortunately I can't wait for the Prime to be released... I need to decide within the next few days.. I'm thinking maybe HTC Sensation XL or XE..

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

Dmonty
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kag8:
i know you said you can't wait for the nexus prime, but if i were you i would, its going to be an amazing phone, try wait for it, use a crappy nokia while you wait, nexus prime shouldnt be too far away... :)

isnt the sensation xe exactly the same as the original sensation? in fact i think there is a rom you can flash to make the sensation into an XE version...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
At this moment in time there is no phone worth upgrading to as this is the best there is, i couldn't afford to keep upgrading anyway im happy with the SGSII until the SGS3 is released, the nexus prime sounds good but Samsung are releasing too many smartphones too soon in my opinion and i guarantee you sales of the nexus prime wont be anywhere near the SGSII.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmonty:
Hi guys thanks for the advice,

Unfortunately I honestly can't wait for the Prime due to my contract situation. I'm not too sure about the HTC Sensation ( although a fantastic phone ) it just seems like a downgrade from the SGS2.

Is there another make of phone that may come close to the SGS2 that I've overlooked ?

I may even take a chance and get a replacement SGS2 in the hope that the replacement doesn't have the Noise Reduction or Battery issues.

Thanks

Dmonty
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Areg8_6:
i think SGS II is the best one among of them ( HTC Sensation and so on ... )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Nothing current, unless you go to the fruity side.

Get another SGS2? I've had mine since launch no issues at all.

Next best would be the HTC sensation with beats.

Again, Prime and the new droid razr are the most recent upcoming phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
I'd get another s2.

Echo might be due to the little mike being covered by the case.
