Nevermind, i extracted the original browser.apk from the CheckRom CWM file and moved it to system\app which got me back to the Stock browser, which let me load the xda site. i then manually re-installed the User Agent Bounce file from CWM myself once i found it in Downloads\CheckRom. All seems to be back working again now, phew!

Quick question: what is the difference between all the User Agents? (Chrome, Android, IE, Iphone, Ipad)

installing rom - wipe/no wipe?

Hey guys.. I am going to install checkrom v6. The description says that it is 'no wipe'. Does this mean I don't have to factory reset /wipe cache?

I am on stock 2.3.5 rooted with CF. This will be my first time on CheckROM :) Not thinking of trying ICS as there are many bugs. Giving this a shot as I want more battery life. Lets see if it helps :D

Preferences >Screen Settings>Grid Size = Standard

Preferences >App Drawer Settings>Grid Size = Standard

Then Choose the Snowdrift widget 4x2

>Widget day/time color "Cyan Blue"

Then Choose the Smooth Calendar

Settings

>Untick "Show Menu"

>Untick "Show the detailed layout"

>Tick "Transparent Background"

>Tick "Show Colour"

>Change "Text Colour" to Cyan Blue

>Choose "Sketchy" as the Icon style under "Skin"

Then choose Minimalist Text 1x1

>Tap to access setup

>Untick "Show Background"

>Custom Layout, Press and hold text icons and drop into the bin.

>Press the little icon with the green bar across it to create a second row

>Press the little + Icon, Scroll along to "Battery Level" and drop it on the top row

>Repeat and scroll along to "Battery Voltage" and drop it on the top row

>Back out to the main setup

>Find "Text Style" and tap "Accented" choose "Cyan Blue"

>the tap "Normal" and choose "Mid Grey"

Also if you like extended controls add a 2x1 and put your most used icons (2) and then make the make it transparent, with mid grey icon colour, and a black outer blur.

Any questions just ask
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dodgypast:
In theory yes you should be fine installing it over the top of stock.

If you have problems it is an option to try a full and see if it fixes them.

I know I went to v4 as a no wipe and was fine, I only started worrying about wiping when I wanted to try other rooms.

BTW first things you should do are create a backup from CWM and back up your efs folder.

anyone using the default black list?

I tried Contacts->open contact detail->options button->More->Add to black list

also tried add to black list manually Settings->Call->Call rejection->Black list but same result

tried adding country code+number, number without country code, and both together, calls still coming in

Reading all the positive comments about LP3 i think its time to get an ICS release of this rom!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Why do you keep bringing ICS up ??

It's been mentioned many times already that when the Devs are ready, they will release ICS. Just waiting on a decent bugless ICS base from Samsung... LP3 is still nowhere near perfection.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] subhani:
im sorry guys... i have had a read through several pages and googled for it but i do'nt know the solution still.

i have installed the TW euro 4g fixed file from the kitchen app via cwm after cach and dalvik wipe. Repeated this step many times but i still have this problem.

the home screens are smaller than normal. i.e. the widgets and icons dont go as far as the full length of the screen.

someone be gentle and help. i would appreciate it.

cheers.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] subhani:
Thanks for responding leo. im not sure. i dont remeber tweaking any of the display settings. its fine on the tw that comes on your rom but as soon as i flash the euro version the 5th column is completely empty. the app drawer is full and so no gap columns. The dock even squeezes five icons.

im lost mate. i never mess with dpi.

It's funny I keep checking the Kitchen app each day. Haven't seen any new content in a while. Will there soon be new Kitchen stuff? Some things for example:

NEAK kernel 1.4 -> latest 1.4.2x (some important updates)

Siyah kernel .13 -> latest .14

i'm using a Jabra Street2 with my s2 on this rom, and i find that if you install ANY of the phone mods from the kitchen ( call rec , noise reduction etc etc ) , the bluetooth device doesn't function properly after. sometimes the audio doesnt stream to the bluetooth device , sometimes the audio plays off the s2's speaker. it's weird.sometimes plugging in the headphones into the s2 and unplugging makes it work again.

anyone have any idea about this ?

reflashing the rom fixes this.

update :

just went thru the process of flashing one more time to make sure and i can confirm that this is happening.

reflashed rom , problem fixed.but i must have call recording :D Ideas ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah I ain't been around mate, looking at all the juvenile noobishness really made me bored last week. So I decided to take a break from XDA for a bit.

Im sure the kitchen will be updated soon, I know GC has been quite busy lately. Rewriting some code for checkrom forums as there seemed to be a hacking incident. Everything is fine now and forums have been reopened.

People, I have a problem.

I can't send emails through Gmail, after upgrading to V6.

When i want to send a message i click on send button a that's it. The button is grayed so that I can't click on it again, but nothing happens and the message not sent, and not even in outbox.

I've tried everything from clearing the cache of gmail app up to reflashing the rom and deleting all the data and configuring from the beginning. Nothing helps.

What can be wrong ?

CM9 based CheckROM? I think they said all CheckROMs are stock Samsung based, then via Kitchen you can change theme's etc. Not that I would mind it being AOSP based :P

cm builts are always inferior imo. Same speed but lacking a lot of features, like proper videoplayback, bluetooth etc.

No idea what the hype of CM is all about. For other older devices I can understand, they need a small and light rom like cm7. But the sgs2 is a speedmonster, doesnt need a light rom with lesser and not working features.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
Use Go Launcher, there is an option to resize widget, you can change the dpi, they will always fit the screen.. very nice.. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Lol, your theory is rather misleading...

Most of the time those features are not working because they haven't been implemented yet... most likely because of the Devs not having access to the source.

CM9 is an AOSP ROM, which means there is no Samsung bloatware or TouchWiz crap that Samsung like to push onto us. If you are a true custom ROM user, you will have preference of CM9 over anything else.

Next time, get your facts straight before you complain about something which you're not familiar with.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] therion21:
I think the choice to use AOSP based roms or sammy one is a personal one. i prefer to have all features running rather the potential of having them run of they were implemented. I bought a phone and need to use it as one ....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
The only thing left not working is video recording... should be fixed any day now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
If a AOSP/CM9 build offers at least the same as a Samsung ROM, I would probably choose for the AOSP look yes. Though at the moment, Video recording is still not working in CM9. What I like about the Samsung ROMs is that the browser is spectacular (don't know if it's just as smooth on AOSP ICS browser). Also photo's/video recording is fantastic, video playback is smooth as hell and fast. Don't know if CM9 would support all the video formats that the Samsung ROMs support.

Before my S2 I had a HTC Desire, on which I ended up using an AOSP ROM. So I can't say I'm not a fan and have been for a while. But like other people said, Samsung did a pretty good job on the S2. I just hate how touchwiz LOOKS, ICS stock look > TouchWiz. We will see how things will develop in the future.. maybe CM9 will be better then the CheckROM roms. Maybe not. (or maybe CheckROM will make the move to AOSP/CM xD)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] androidsjonnie:
Stop trying to be an idiot please. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
You crack me up dude, 100 posts and you think that I'm being an idiot...

Do you want a medal for your opinion or something?

TouchWiz isn't a bonus, its a pointless overlay... this is why the phone feels so much faster with it removed. Think for yourself... 300mb for a Samsung Stock ROM, 115mb for a CM9 AOSP ROM. So in fact you're getting 185mb of mostly useless bloat that clogs up your system.

You still think that it's not a fact that AOSP is faster/better than Samsung Stock??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] androidsjonnie:
Tbh, I find it laughable that you think by using CM9 or having a high post count gives you some kind of status. What a kid. :D

edit: No sorry, I have used CM builts plenty of time, they are on par with samsung based roms. The h/w browser is faster. I thought a "true custom user" like you would know this. You are obviously not a developer, the constant nonsensical and broscience coming out of your mouth (samsung based rom are larger so it must be slower) is pure comedy.

This conversation is over, my apologies to the mods.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Well, I don't see any of your posts being very insightful or right for that matter so really... what you say are facts aren't really facts at all. ;)

Camera question

I've got a question to the camera. The audio is recorded in mono.

Temporarily I tested the WanamLite V10 ROM.

There the camera records really in stereo (both mircrophones are used).

Now I returned to CheckROM V6 because it's more stable.

The camera.apk doesn't work for this rom.

Is it possible to get a camera.apk for this rom with stereo recording?

thanks

Andre
[Galaxy S II Android Development] androidsjonnie:
Video playback and videorecording sucks on CM9. Need more facts? And it's okay, it doesnt mean that CM9 is bad. It just means that it isn't for everyone and some people (SHOCKER COMING) prefer Samsung based roms.

Damn, what a kid. jesus. Can't believe aosp rom fanboys actually exist. Getting all butthurt because someone think different :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
If you want to change camera apk from another rom, eg. Wanam, will not work, coz framework is different. Don't try.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goku80:
People forget one thing. CM9 is still in nightly states. That means all beta so far. Heck call it still experimental if you like. For the progress that they have achieved to get it to the state it is is remarkable. You are right video recording is a no go so far on those builds. Video playback though has been fixed and i have no issues what so ever so far. I mean i can watch movies and youtube as such with no problems. But again these builds are still in beta mode.

Developers now from all over this forum are coming together because they know the true potential of cm9. Just look in the development thread. Now i am not dissing ICS stock roms. Hell when Checkrom gets released i will be using it as my daily driver... But preferably will be using it with a dualboot kernel which is more likely to be Siyah if he can achieve it which he will. Then cm9 and Checkrom;). But all honesty i have been using cm9 for the last month and i could not be happier. And compare it to the Sammy roms, CM9 is what ICS from Samsung should of been.

Now everyone is entitled to their opinions. But the quality and overall performance and battery life of the AOSP roms compare to ICS stock ones is for me better. Anyway apologies to the developers of this rom but i just wanted to give my opinion about this...And as a last note to my friend i am quoting. If you really want to see why AOSP is better most of the roms now in Android development are now based on AOSP, AOKP roms and cm9 based source. That kinda tells it all now what is better;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Did u give it 3-4 charge cycles? I'm finding that with ics (not just cm9), battery life is a little less than Checkrom to be honest but I also notice background data is active all the time and if u disable it, some internet apps don't work properly so its easier to leave it on.

Ics is also a bit more Ram consuming than GB at the moment and has more wake locks. Nothing serious but I'm sure it'll get sorted out soon enough. I believe wave3 of Samsung ics updates is on the way...

Overall I'm still getting 4 hours screen time on cm9 with stock kernel so I'm happy enough with that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goku80:
could not agree more. give it a few cycles before judging battery. but must admit on stock or siyah battery life on cm9 is actually good. regarding wakelocks though there are quite few but hope that gets sorted it out in due time with better kernel versions
[Galaxy S II Android Development] don1bong:
Was on cm9 for over a week.. Had few wake locks.. And wouldn't go into deep sleep but sorted them and still wasn't happy.. I was on cm9 with his kernel and LONG

I'll prob try again later this evening when I get home when I get home.

Btw what launcher you using? I was on nova but can't see that being a drain.

Thanks for the info
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MattyDip:
I tried two ICS rooms but I returned to Checkroom. What I doesn't like in the ICS rooms is to have some Samsung apps, some AOSP apps, some AOSP apps with white background (like the agenda, horrible with an Amoled screen) and some other AOSP apps with no italian language. That's a horrible mix.

Now I think the best solution is a Samsung based room with all original Samsung apps (I only prefere Music and gallery app in Google style) and thanks to Vertumus ICS theme and thanks to Apex launcher we will have in fact a Room that isn't too much different from the original Google style.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goku80:
Apex launcher mate. Best one for me..Very good features and very lite as well and scrolling through homescreens and appscreens is a peach. Deep sleep as well phone sleeps like a baby. Try sticking with the stock kernel which i am on now and set the governor to ondemand and scheduler noop and you should be fine...

But anyway i am looking forward to see what Checkrom v7 is like and looking forward to trying it out. Think the guys are waiting for Jkay to finish his mods before making the leap so i can understand the wait

Sounds pretty weird, can you get into recovery? Try a fix permissions and reboot and see what happens. If you are getting the same issue. You might want to format system and do a full wipe and re-install.
