No, you aren't input pine... Umm :P

I've reflashed Serendipity 8.0 to see if it makes a difference with the suspend and event/0 processes running during standby. Will post with findings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tdamocles:
I could not send mms until I changed the apns.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
I did that too and also no problems. Never tried it with stock mms.apk, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetboy02125:
I just want to confirm. Copy two MMS files from Unname rom and push it through \system\app WORKS. Yes It works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gotfolk:
Just some thoughts and questions...

I havent had any battery issues or mms or data issues ... honestly no issues at all..

Maybe we can narrow down the issues with a little more info...

I came from pure stock rom to 8.0 to 8.1 update not full wipe..

I made sure to do this with full battery and also did a clear battery stats afterwards.. Been on 8.1 since release and 0 issues. Honestly with my captivate I would always go back to stock and follow the above steps any never ran into issues others had...

so

Stock>8.0>8.1 update..

everyone should post up and maybe there will be a trend....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
You don't get Android OS using large amounts of battery? (like more than 10-12%) If you have SystemPanel, look under Monitor>History and see how much cpu time System Processes>suspend and events/0 has used.

I did the same as you and flashed back to 8.0 and have no trouble other than the Android OS bug.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
I feel stupid, why am I getting the installation aborted thing when I try to flash any rom? Do I need to run through odin again and go through the root process? Flame suit on. I flashed clock work mod recovery and can get to that screen...wtf am I doing wrong. I've flashed a few roms before on my gs2 so I know that **** used to work.

edit: nm something started to work, I just had to actually try some things. Installing now...yay. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gotfolk:
I haven't tried that program, but when I had system info widget installed my battery use to drain like crazy.

Have you always had that program installed and had battery drain?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There is no AOS bug. If your AOS is reporting high, you have a rogue app driving data to your device. All of the suspend process usage is your device waking up and going back to sleep to handle packets it shouldn't have to.

Skype is one of the more notorious causes of this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
I want so badly to believe this. I'll go through apps one by one and find the culprit, then. Thanks for the reassurance.

After restoring back to 8.0 my battery is back to normal, been unplugged and idle for 3.5 hours and still at 100%, the ammount of suspends and events have significantly dropped off.

Not sure if it was just a coincidence or not, but I haven't had an MMS error since I replaced the MMS.apk with the one shoman94 posted here a couple days ago, I was using it on both 8.0 and 8.1.

Mine is better on 8.0, but not that much better. Split difference. i used to lost 7-10% an hour when idle, now it's about 2.5% an hour. Much better, but it should still be 1% or less. Working on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SSJ_Gomike:
So i went ahead and got my SGS 2....

And of course the first thing i did was throw Serendipity on it ;)

Looks and feels great.....but i am having the MMS problem too......i think it's an APN thing....i always had problems sending and receiving mms' with my Infuse whenever i used the dual hspa+ phone and mms phone apns....

I used to however be able to use titanium backup to wipe my apn data then add the at&t 310/410 APN.....and no matter what i cannot seem to put the new apn in here :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
Read the previous ~5 pages and you'll be caught up with the rest of us.

Short term: try cycling flight mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SpectraDawn:
On 8.0, I've been on 3hrs and 30min and still at 99%. But my phone has been awake almost the entire time... What is Managewakelock: partial UID? It's been on for 1h53m according to BetterBatteryStats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tdamocles:
Sending and receiving mms pics as an attachment through the texting app seems to send fine . When I try to send a pic through my camera is when it fails but if I send an attachment in the camera app it will send.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SSJ_Gomike:
Thanks but i read every page of every ROM i run.....

As for the cycling flight mode? Yeah i read that where it didn't really do anything for some.....didn't do anything for me....

And actually my question was more about not being able to delete the original APNs than the MMS.....i already know what the problem is and how to fix it....i'm just having trouble applying my fix....

Cool signature quote though.

Edit: APN Manager did do the trick for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] talkingcheese56:
Experiencing what everyone else is, more awake time and less battery life on 8.1 vs 8.0. Just wish I backed up 8.0, don't feel like reflashing and setting everything up again. Battery life on 8.0 was mind-blowing.. now it's just pretty good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
I made no changes that would impact battery life at all.

UPDATE: OK, i removed what you would call the stock MMS app (was ugly anyway) and pushed the GB version of AOSP MMS app to my system/app and everything is working!

I am attaching it as well.....btw Mikey, I pulled this from the Infuse's S7 Rom....

Also i will say i am not experiencing any battery drain on 8.1, currently have 67% with 8 hours up time and since i just got it yesterday i have been messing with it al day....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
I'm starting to wonder if there was an update that most of us got to a base, or widely used app right around the time Mikey put up 8.1. I noticed battery life go south after 8.1, but going back to 8.0 hasn't really fixed it.

How's the SMS App on this ROM? I for one absolutely hate the stock SMS App; it's boring and dull. Is the one on this ROM any better?

Also, how does this ROM compare to Cognition? Anyone switched and are happy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Can you tell me if this ROM has been modified to allow for manual network selection (Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network operators)... by default the ATT rom has it locked out (default), and I want to be able to manually select the carrier my phone latches to. The CM7 ROM has this enabled, so I'm wondering if this ROM does, or if it's still locked out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] talkingcheese56:
This is hardly scientific, but I've attach some battery charts from 8.0 (the one that ends at 80ish %) and a screen grab from a few minutes ago on 8.1 (at 60%). I don't remember the screen on time from the 8.0 but I'm just at 40 minutes right now. Both seem to have similar wake time/screen time based on the chart but 8.1 is 20% lower. One thing that is striking is that in 8.0 it said I had much better signal than I do now, but I've been sitting in the exact same place for both days (same table at the library). Is it reading my signal strength differently or has it actually gotten worse?

This is pretty much all speculation until I can run a control and actually screenshot everything.

Edit: Upon further inspection of other screenshots I had from 8.0, they're all showing my signal strength as green. Was something changed that could've effected this reading?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hlb96:
Love the Rom. I got my phone last Wednesday, rooted on Saturday and have had this since Sunday.

I have one question, the call volume is low. I wear my earphones and it is loud enough through them. I don't always want to use earphones. Is there an app to fix this or can I replace anything from another Rom to this one? I think perception had louder call volume for me. Is there an apk I can replace, that won't screw anything else up?

thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I have no problems either way I send it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
It might also depend on the image.

I have a picture that fails to send and swapping out the Mms.apk for the original fixes it. Gonna have to lose the 5 themes (at least for now).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SSJ_Gomike:
Hi Bella and nice to see you :-)

The answer however is no .....CM7 is based on Google pure open sources, whereas this rom is built on at&t sources that restrict that....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SSJ_Gomike:
Alright....gonna say something else....the ability to send Mms by either the apns that come with the rom or at&t's normal apn depends on where you live.....

The ability to connect to wap.cingular or hspa+ phone and mms phone depends on the towers in your area...

As for those who Mms with the paperclip and can't from the gallery, try instead of "send via", hit the menu and click "share" then use the Mms app....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] morrichad:
MikeyMike and ChanceM just wanted to say this is my first custom Rom on my S2 and want to say thanks for all your work and dedication. This is my first day trying the Rom and hope to continue to use this Rom as time goes on. I noticed that a lot of files and bloat were heavily removed, in which can be a great idea.

Just wander if someone can throw me a bone on a problem I having. I wanted to re-install the AllShare.apk. I backed up all my system apps onto my Sdcard and via Titanium Backup both. Problem is that I have tried to re-install the Dlna.apk with Root Explorer and mounted as R/W, changed permissions to rw-r-r, and owner to root. The problem is that it will not complete the install with this Rom, am I missing some other componets that need to be re-installed with this .apk. Is my problem that it may be missing certain Library files needed to make the app install properly.

Again any help will be greatly appreciated or other suggested app for Dlna that I could use. I am aware of Twonky, but like to use the AllShare as well.

I must be missing something so obvious - Google Talk is missing from this ROM, but the other Google Apps are there.

Do I need to flash CM7 GoogleApps package onto this ROM?

From the serendipity website:

"Updated stock apps (Google Maps, Market, Gmail, etc.)"

I have Maps, Market, Gmail, Places, Voice talk, Voice, YouTube, Navigation, etc. No Talk though.

Maybe I missed a post in my searches. Will go back and search again.

ad-blocking links are updated more often than roms. and i don't know where they get their list from. I think its good they include them so you have some blocking but if you want most updated just install AdAway from the market.
