hmm, Fastfix will only try to get the nearest ntp pool for your region , but it doesnt hv country servers for every country. IF you are rooted, you can manually edit the files required.

1. Download the attached zip "GPS settings.zip" file and extract it on your PC

2. Open the gps.conf file and replace the existing region and country servers with the one you require (Visit the site for your region and country servers: http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@)

3. Copy all the the 4 file to your sdcard

4. Using a root file explorer ,Create a backup of the original gps.conf file in /etc folder and delete the original file

5. Using a root file explorer copy all the 4 files to /etc.

6. Give them all the permissions ((Owner/Group/Others - Read) (Owner - Write))

7. Install GPS Status from the market

8. Reboot your phone

9. Open GPS status app, goto tools>Manage a GPS State > Download

10. Wait for the stats to fix ( 10-15 min first time)

After the stats fix, your GPS should get a lock in 5-10 secs depending upon weather conditions.

Hope this helps!

edit: looking at your file and comparing to the thread above mentioned, seems like your's is abit different?

theres no 0, 1, 2 for sg.pool.ntp.org? i'm thinking since its for singapore, maybe i can just use your files haha.

edit2: i tried using your method but cant fix any satellites.

Yes you can, no all will run normally but the majority will, only some build in apps got problems : Phone, contacts, launcher

Edit Build.prop and change dpi from 240 to what you want (192 is a good choice). Then install a launcher that can be used with this kind of DPI, i use go launcher EX, go Contacts EX.. and everything is perfect.

On a different note...

I would like to update my Theme to Vert's new v1.8 Universal ICS Theme but in his thread he says to not flash it over any ROM with any mods of any kind or else you will end up in a boot loop.

I am currently running his v1.6 Universal ICS Theme that I flashed from the kitchen pro app.

Question is... Is it safe / can I flash v1.8 Universal ICS Theme directly from recovery over CheckRom v4 with no issues?

Please advise...

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ozzyita:

Hello, i have a problem with my contacts!!!

After i flashed checkrom (i did a full wipe, and made sure all my date on my internal sdcard was wiped) everything went perfectly and i was very happy!

But after sending a message, i noticed something strange!! When i go to messages, it doesnt show the contact that is synced with my google account with picture and full name, but shows the contact that is stored on my sim without picture and without the full name (because sim has max ammount of characters in a name)

Does anyone know how to get my google contacts back?

I only show my google contacts in 'contacts' and that works fine

here are 2 screenshots:

http://www.box.com/s/n4rhh2fx0h811il0z2rx

http://www.box.com/s/nvsqkqquhaxlpv3immhr

ps: i also have no idea why it shows anny jans' google account and the rest sim
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
go into settings and Accounts and sync and then add account. add the account that you want and then tick all the boxes that you want to sync...come out and wait a few seconds and then go into contacts and you should have your contacts there again. if you have already done that try it again and it should work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manmad:
i have all the contacts i want in contacts as shown in the screenshot.

The problem is that when i got to messages, it shows my sim card numbers instead of my gmail numbers, also shown in the other screenshot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
resync your contacts again buddy like i told you

remove your account from settings..then re add the account and sync your contacts and it should work

Is there a way to install a mod that gives you a 5 icon dock in stock touchwiz? It would be a welcomed addition to the kitchen app.

If there is a way to do it, let me know please.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Deniska11:
Hello everyone, so i got CheckROM v4 on my S2(its white but its probably not important). I got the Vert ICS theme, got 2.6.6 Siyah and everything seemed fine, until i tried to OC to 1600, got a boot loop. Fixed that, but then when i went and turned my phone back on, my battery went from 40% to 13% in about 10 minutes. So then....i reflashed everything from scratch, v4+Vert+Siyah. One again, no problems at all but then i went to open my texts after exiting Aspalt 6 Installation and my phone froze. Rebooted, biam, battery from ~40% to 13% again. Funny thing is, 13% stays there for quite some time until it starts to decrease. Whats up?? Thanks

EDIT: Didnt get near a charger and battery percentage went up to 14%. I also installed a few mods from the Kitchen, not nothing too major, swype 3, call recording and some other minor sruff.

1% Battery

How can I get 1% Battery steps back ?

I flashed each Battery mod from kitchen an I have only 5% steps.:confused:

Stock Battery mod doesn´t work.:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nakbleu:
Well... Actually not for me. Found it very unstable. back to CheckROM V4.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...G TouchWiz Launcher|Change Home|5 Columns|DPI

How did you manage to get 5% after flashing this rom?

Anyway, you can try UOT Kitchen (online kitchen) and get any battery icon you want with 1% steps.

First of all, what governor are you using? Then it's possible after flashing a new rom or anything that takes time through cwm mode to kinda freak out our battery. This can happen either when you are playing hd games for more than 8-10mins (imagine cpu at 1600 all the time..) or when flashing things over and over.

After 2,3 full charging/discharging cyrcles of your battery you won't have such problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
it happens, the phone needs some time to calibrate the info for current usage. sometimes i take it off the charger and it says 98, then after 5 min it's full. so don't worry. and flashing and restoring and so forth takes a lot of battery. don;t worry. flash everything you want. and don't oc to 1600, you;ll ruine you phone. then do 2-3 charge-discharge. and you should be fine. :)

Guys, are you planning to release a KL1 version of Checkrom or are you waiting for a stable ICS release.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Deniska11:
I was using SmartassV2, the one i always used on my black i9100, and even at occasional 1600 i didnt have any issues. What the deal with all the games btw?? HD or even not HD, phone heats up like CRAZY. I look at my friends Iphone and no matter what he plays, phone always stays cool. Better quality games/apps?? Not that i want to buy an iPhone =) NEVER

Also, when i had Siyah @1200, Modern Combat 3 and Aspalt 6 were lagging insanely, then i reflashed the rom and had CF, that @1200 was handling these games without any lag. Why is that? Is it because these games are "ment" for the stock CF??

Very strange. I tried using Go Launcher and Touchwiz launcher and with both launchers long-pressing the menu button doesn't load Google Search even though I have it installed. Would the kernel affect this? I was on Siyah 2.6.6i and now moved to 2.6.7 but this makes no difference
[Galaxy S II Android Development] reggaemanu:
It works fine here and I used every single siyah kernels (with go launcher ex). Did you tried to wipe google search data in applications manager?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Deniska11:
I had 2 S2's, both of them i bought sealed, i can hardly believe that both are faulty with faulty batteries. Regarding voltage, i know you can make slight adjustments before it causes instability, and i also doubt that -50mV will do the trick. Am i wrong?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
You can try "PDroid Privacy Protection", will help you choose which app can access GPS, contacs, sms .. etc..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
Nah, your phones and batteries are fine. And to be honest i dont think that -50mV can cause so much trouble but overclocking to 1600 and playing games like asphalt = crazy overheat+crazy battery drain imo. Try and play abit with different governors and see if you can get better results. I can't say anything about siyah cause even tho i've tried them all, i'm allways ending with cf.. Seems the best for my phone, either when i'm using it or when it's sleeping..

And yeah it doesn't lag but it's getting a bit hot as well when playing asphalt6..

I wish we could have it all ;-)

I tried wiping google search app data but that didn't make any difference.

I installed Catlog and checked the system log when I long-pressed the menu button and I saw a warning being logged saying "no global search activity found" which sounded suspicious.

I googled that error and found someone with a CM7 build having this error. The APK for google search (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk) was installed into /data/app on my phone. I installed Google Search using Android Market.

Moving this file to /system/app and rebooting fixed the problem. Now when I long press the menu button it loads the google search app ok. I wonder if the install location has changed with the new version of Google Search and that is why I was having the problem?

Yes but a conbination of Overclock, Overvoltage, Intensive gaming can make your phone hot !

Lowering voltage to -50mv at 1600Mhz IS a lot less energy !

Power = c*f*V^2

f = frequency

c = capacitance

V = Voltage

Between let's say 1.3V and 1.350V :

1.600Ghz at 1.300V gave a factor of : 2.704

1.600Ghz at 1.350V gave a factor of : 2.916

=> 8% more energy used for an increase of 50mV at 1.6Ghz

I'm at 1.2Ghz max, you are at 1.6Ghz, let's say at 1.350V :

Me - 1.200Ghz at 1.150V gave a factor of : 1.587

You - 1.600Ghz at 1.350V gave a factor of : 2.916

=> You consume 83% more energy than me at full speed .. !

=> Power drawn by your processor IS a function of the square of the voltage !
