I am having a bit of a problem, say when brightness is on max both in browser and system settings, but when in the browser, if I press the menu button in the browser, the whole screen getter considerably brighter (even though it is supposed to be on full brightness), but when i press the menu again to get rid of the menu pop up the screen goes a bit more dull again. In addition, I find when opening the browser app, the brightness dulls a little bit, but goes back to normal when retuning to my launcher (LP+) I am confused to why this is happening, I am obviously not getting the full screens brightness in the browser even though it is set to full brightness, but I have no idea how to fix it. I tried re-flashing the rom and trying different kernels, but nothings worked. Does anyone have any Idea what I could do please?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shayne77:
I don't think you understand..

Flashing ROM will restore the battery mod.. but it will clear any theme you are using and any "mods" you are using..

You won't have to install jkay again as it's in v3.1.1 ROM (unless of course you want v13.1)

You'll have to reflash your theme if you use one, if not, you don't have to do this step..

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Too much of a process" but booting into CWM, and selecting a zip to flash isn't really that bigger deal of a "process".. It's not like you have to clear caches etc..

Anyway, if you don't want to go through that process, I believe you'll be stuck with your problem then because you have to flash "something" to restore it?

Hi all, i'm using checkrom 3.1.1! I'm not getting a good battery life. I'm using the kernel which comes with the ROM. Should i flash another kernel? If so, which one? My requirement is to have a good batery life with optimum performance. Is it too much to ask for? :P I read a few pages and saw people recommending siyah kernel and use setCPU. I am not familiar with it. :(

XWKJ3 Theme Restore Request

Guys, I messed up while trying to install different themes. Now the phone won't boot up...and I don't even have a recent cwm backup!!! I've been looking for a link to the xwkj3 theme restore zip available in the kitchen, but have been unable to find online.

Can someone please direct me to a download link to the file?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KLozzy:
You don't really need the theme restore, just re-flash the ROM. It won't wipe anything and may get you out of trouble. (And doesn't take any longer than the theme restore)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Just re-flash the ROM, no wipe.

Edit: beaten to it by a nanosecond in post above ;)

You're right, I wasn't making light of the situation. I've spent quite a bit of time there myself, and I do feel for the losses the people have suffered.

Anyway, didn't mean to get off topic...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
It sounds like you have a check box selected that adjusts screen power depending upon image and possibly auto brightness.

Go to settings - display, you'll find the first checkbox if you scroll down. The auto brightness is under brightness or on the scrollable status bar toggles which is where you could have accidently activated it.

Hi,

I noticed that Gallery is showing all the videos in folders with ".nomedia" in it. However it doesn't show the photos. Anyone out there having the same problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KLozzy:
No, all seems ok with the gallery on my phone, both pictures and video.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] programatix:
Thanks, but just in case if I am misunderstood. There are folders which I do not want the videos and pictures displayed, so I placed the .nomedia file in them. Currently Gallery is showing the videos in them even with the .nomedia file. Though it works correctly with the pictures.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KLozzy:
Sorry, i did misread what you meant. So now I've tested again, both video and stills are not showing in the gallery, but do have the videos in a sub-folder. Could make a difference I guess, i.e. blocking the whole folder.

Edit: Tested again by moving the file to the folder with video and stills, still none showing in the gallery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] programatix:
Ok, thanks. Seems like I need to wipe now.

Update: Luckily I haven't wipe my phone yet. I tried all sort of clear media/cache thing before but none work. Just now, I tried removing "MediaProvider.apk" from \System\App (it will cause several exception), and put it back in and viola, everything works fine now. The folder with .nomedia now not showing the videos anymore.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] keithabi:
Use quikpic, free from the market. You can exclude folders easily...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] programatix:
Thanks for the suggestion. I was using QuickPic before, but I guess I now tend to use stock apps more.

Actually with latest revision of rom (3.1.1), with siyah kernel and lulzactive governor (tried with brazilianwax and others too), nearly no undervolting, i have a call issue.

When i receive a call while the phone start to ring, the screen puts from 2 to 4 seconds to wake and display caller id and answer options.

With the old revision of the rom i didn't have this issue, and i can't figure out if I am the only experiencing this problem, or how i can fix this. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sixian:
1) I'm starting from a custom ROM, so I have to install the WIPE version.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Just tested setup nearly same as you. No issues. No UV, but have min frequency set to 100mHz, max 1200mHz.

Edit: ok, maybe 1 sec delay at most.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
1) It its a no wipe version. Just factory reset, format cache and dalvik in CWM Recovery immediately prior to flashing ROM in recovery.

2) kernel is included in ROM. Just use the kitchen pro app that will be installed to install which kernel etc you like to use.

Edit: recommend siyah kernel

[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:

i use it and after 2 days and 6h, i have 40% left:)) best so far
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chris5304:
Depends what you mean by good. I've tried lots of ROMS and this is one of the best for battery life. If you can get 1% an hour when asleep (WiFi on, normal syncing etc but not using the phone) then that's pretty well as good as it gets (i.e. 100hours on standby).

Once you start using the phone it depends on what you do and manly on your screen on time and brightness.

There are lots of very detailed threads on battery life but bottom line is that if your phone is using more than 1% an hour in sleep it isn't going to sleep properly because of an app keeping it awake. On all Samsung Roms that I have tried, including this one, the TWCalendar.apk (touchwiz calendar) generates wakelocks which stop the phone sleeping and lead to much bigger battery drain. I removed TWCalendar.apk from /system/apps and installed calendroid from the market which cured this drain.

You may get marginally better (or worse) battery life using a different kernel and/or setcpu but all the current kernels should give you c 1% per hour sleep drain out of the box.

You need to read up on betterbatterystats and gemini app manager and use them to find and prevent further wakelocks if you want to optimise things, but these are all app related not rom or kernel.

The Siyah kernel is great BTW but so is the one which comes with this rom (unless you need BLN in which case use one which supports that).

and usually i get 2 days out of it. with about 100 sms, a day and 1h calls. and 3h and a bit screen time.

anyone having this problem. what can it be related to? kernel? rom? jkay? and i was charghing it and i was on it, and the percentage went down, as i was on it.

hi all

not sure what happened but my battery drain on idle (wifi,sync-on, 1exchange push+2 30min sync mail accounts) has dropped to 2%/h !!!

When installed 3.1.1 with full wipe it was 0.7%/h on stock kernel. Ive tryied speedmod 18 kernels and somewhere somehow something went wrong:)

Ive just reflash 3.1.1 no wipe but no difference. Currently im lossing over 16% overnight(8h) Makes no difference if wifi and sync is on-off. BBS shots attached.Any ideas folks????

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Can't see your attachment, but have you changed governors, installed any push as supported apps (Air Push Detector app), any new apps since?

Use Better Battery Stats app to check for wakelocks and CPU Spy to check how much % time phone is in deep sleep.

Edit; You said you re-flashed ROM, full wipe before?

Edit 2; Facebook syncing is a known killer, check apps autostarting and block on start with Autostarts app (paid). Try DroidWall to block unwanted connections through WiFi & 3G

nope - havent changed anything apart from speedmod kerenl versions (few over a week period or so) , also most of apps were restored via titanium after wipe install of checkroom - i might have added 1 or 2 since

From those screen shots it doesn't look like a rogue app causing the wakelocks.

Sometimes though a kernel can cause wakelocks, something better battery stats struggles to show.

First thing I would try is a different kernel.

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
Sounds strange and probably something you'll never get a satisfactory explanation for.

I would guess it was probably to do with changing the governor as it was the only thing that was different. These can make a phone unstable.

I don't think you need to full wipe, at worst change to a different kernel. I probably would leave it unless the problem shows again.

Keep an eye on the stock charger it took a while for me to be certain it was a problem.
