i know what it does. but lidroid is not just toggles so maybe you should read more. just look at previous versions of Lidroid when Hyperdroid implemented those mods into their roms and see how well they did them by not waiting for Jkay to finish his. I love the guy's work and it is amazing but for all rom developers having to wait for his mods just to release their stuff kinda beats the objective here.

hence why i think in my opinion AOKP and cm9 are better roms cause they all have those ready out of the box and some degree are better. plus they are free:D

but anyway it is all down to choice. just what people should go for really and they decide...but they should open their eyes and see there is more out there than just one dev who can create mods...they are many others as well
[Galaxy S II Android Development] norpan111:
Tldr ^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
There's nothing that I haven't seen already on sammy ics roms without jkay. All these mods are there already for free and if you use aokp instead of a sammy Rom you have way more.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] buxz777:
+1 for lidroid , i used it on hyperdroid and it worked great and can pretty much do everything jkay can

i dont know how well it works with themes and mods though but it defently worked good on hyperdroid and gave many options just like jkay does

any thoughts from the devs check and leo about lidroid?

jkay will be overcome for its greed
[Galaxy S II Android Development] predr.ag:
50% agreed, will be overcomed because many other devs are waiting him to continue

He isnt greedy, he and every hardcore dev is working very hard and that need to be appreciated even donated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] norpan111:
Plus..there will be a free version also. Who is greedy now? The ones who whants everything handed to him and the delivered home, free of charge without even saying thanks i belive

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GadgetCheck:

The country I live in doesn't allow paid apps in the Play store. The gov't fairly requires a 7 day return period on everything. When the app store, and the Market as it was then known, were told this, Apple immediately changed it's policy to accommodate a reasonable consumer protection, where Googorolla still is sticking it to both users and devs for some relatively weak reasons.

Jkay didn't build the kitchen that comes with this rom, but every theme in the app had jkay mod
[Galaxy S II Android Development] frater:
A very silly statement.

Especially if you really believe you paid less than a dollar
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NirVas-:
checkrom devs don't apply any charge to they're brilliant rom, instead, they ask for donnations, and they get it, the donaters made possible for checkrom dev's to buy the brand new S3, and they don't charge a cent for the rom.

i already made some light app's on other platform and never charged anything, because i made them, to personal use above all, then i just shared them, simple as that...

one thing is create inside a company, other thing is create at home for personal use, but thats my point of view.

I see, basically what happened is that we are using multiupload direct link taken from frankenstein monkey themes original thread.

The bad news is that i realized that these links dynamically changes....

Regarding the theme remover, you need to wipe manually dalvik cache, because the script doesn't do that!

\EDIT

we need to upload frankenstein monkey themes to our kitchen server repository, it will takes hours (400MByte)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Raziel2k6:
Great idea mate! Never even crossed my mind :p

I have been doing stuff like this with themes before flashing them, but not ROMS. Guess I will give that a try next time, just for the fun of it :D

Just for example, I am currently using my own moded Galaxy Blue v26 applied on top of the stock Monkey Blue theme. Basically I flashed Monkey Blue first. Then I opened Galaxy Blue v26 in WinRAR, and deleted all the apps from system/apps and replaced them with all the ones from v22 I was using on LeoMar 2.7.1 ROM in the past, as I do no particularly like the changes Criskelo has made with his newest version. I simply applied my new version on top of Monkey Blue without using Theme restore package (intentional). So now I have a nice Galaxy Blue theme applied with my preferred SystemUI.apk, TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and Contacts.apk, and also some leftover themed apps from Monkey Blue that Galaxy Blue has not touched. Loving it!

Thought I'd share this in case it gives some of you guys some ideas... good or bad :P lol

Ciao for now!

Contacts information

I had exactly the same issue as you are having. After a lot of searching I discovered that it was Google+ screwing up my contacts. I removed Google+, rebooted and the contacts all started working as they should. Re-installed Google+ and its still working ok. I also read some people had the same issues caused by the Facebook app, if you have either try removing them and see if your contacts start working again.

I checked the hybrid rom recently (paranoid android stuff!) and i got kinda shocked by realizing how beautiful our phone gets when playing around with dpi.

I've seen several posts in here back in the old times asking for multidpi mods..

My question is, i know we can change the global density but.. is it possible with samsung based roms to have different global dpi, different SystemUI dpi and being able to change dpi pretty much on any app we want?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
Talking about Gingerbread but i suppose this is the same with ICS, samsung do not know how to build a form ! Objects are not properly connected to each other, meaning that it is not multi DPI compliant ! You'lle need a modified phone.apk, contacts.apk... the only easy solution i found is by using GO applications, go contacts / Go Launcher, they are MDPI compliant. SystemUI is ok, well at least i do not run into any problem.

OR you can go on an AOSP rom, each one i've tested are MDPI.

DPI is a general setting, what would be the advantage of having a DPI on an application basis ?

OOhh Yeeaahhh COME GET SOME :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
If the form is correctly done, DPI will have no effect on it display, a form is a box within which you can add other boxes, and they are "attached" one to the other by the top, bottom, left, right .. none, one .. or fourth sides. So when displaying a form "full screen" there will be no difference as far as the application has the correct bitmap (scalable).

So the dialer should be (samsung is not) scalable and will always display 3x4 buttons... so it will always took the whole screen regardless of the DPI setting... again .. if the form is correctly done.

Laucher is the same, as far as you do not configured it to display 7x7 columns/rows ... i'm at 182 but if i configure my launcher to display 4x4 col/row it will display big icons. For keyboard they generally have a parameter "height of buttons" that can help with high DPI settings, as the horizontal size remains the same... 160 or 240 DPI the keyboard took the whole width...

So there is already what you need ...

- Dialer : No problem at every DPI as far as you take a correctly builded app

- Keyboard : will always took the full width, and height of button can be changed (not all keyboard but many i've tested)

- Launcher : Choose the number of row/col that suit your need. I'm at 6x6.

- Gmail, Tapatalk, kaiten mail ... took advantage of the low DPI cause there is a part of the display that is done to "scale", the text zone in general. Like when you're using Word, the icons at the top stay at the same size and the text zone scale with the window size.

I do not know if my point is clear enought ... :)

Lookt at my post here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22463225&postcount=13131, it was 192 DPI and have to use Go launcher / Go contacts.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
Thank you very much for the detailed answer.

So in conclusion back in Gb most of the users who were asking for multi dpi version of the rom actually got some specific modded .apk's in combination with apps like Go Launcher that supported several dpi changes.

I'm using paranoid android hybrid rom at the moment and as it seems it is possible to have some nice options like

1. Global Density

2. SystemUI.apk DPI

3. Every single app DPI, (either it is a system app or one from the market you have the option to easily change it to any dpi number you want to).

The thing is that pretty much every app seems to be working correctly.

My question is.. is this possible with a samsung based rom?

Of course iit might not work but is it possible to have a mod that will provide us the ability to play with dpi? I understand that it won't work correctly with apps that are not correctly builded but wouldn't that be a nice extra for this rom?

(With such a big screen being able to play with different dpi options, like some apps as Dolphin browser at 220/apex launcher at 200/SystemUi(notification bar) at 182 all at the same time would be awsome.. already loving it).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ramazor:
I went to paranoid also. I was a bit sceptic about it, but it's the best ROM I've ever tried, beside CheckROM that was actually my first :D!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] M1cky:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Although I think on GB CheckROM is the best ROM, I challenge you to tell us more about why all other ROMs would fade in the vicinity of CheckROM ICS. Is it because of the 'ow so super, I'm so great, don't ask questions' mr. Jkay?

There are a lot of ICS ROMs that have grown in both development and made use of the bugsmashing Samsung and CM team did in their releases. CheckROM is just one of many, untill it actually proves itself being one of the best.

No sense claiming all sort things about a not even developed and released ROM yet.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saywhatt:
hey guys.. i just installed the ICS Domination v2.0.3 from the kitchenpro.. but there are 4 missing icons at the bottom right.. is it always like that? it's kinda annoying :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
It wont. XDA will be flooded just like GB....yet another deodexed rom with the hard work done by jkay. There will be tons of em soon, same as their was on GB. And people who have no clue what they flash into their phones will say "Mr rom cooker you are AMAZING" when in truth they did little more than deodex, download jkays files and zip em up. If you use a rom with jkay you should direct most of your thanks and adoration there. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M1cky:
Well I'm sure another quality kitchen will make an appearance. A kitchen I considered the best in terms of gb anyway. Stylish and functional with regular updates.

With possibly the exception of cm7, the previous incarnation of this rom gave me the best battery life possible.

As for jkays, I'm using that now and yes, I'm sure every rom will have it, no argument there!

With some great developers at the helm, I have no reason to believe that this will be anything but great.

Don't get me wrong, there will be plenty of other great roms out there, but in my opinion and based on previous checkrom experiences, I know what I'll be flashing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M1cky:
Agreed. And I have donated and bought the new app.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Honusnap:
Don't know it it could work on a samsung rom, i suppose that it could. Why would you like to have it on samsung ? What do you miss with PARANOIDANDROID ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
Perfect question.. Actually my phone seems very smooth and stable so far, battery seems fine as well so i admit it is a very nice and stable rom but i miss :

1. jKay Settings (yes i already have lots of options but not as much as jKay provides, the more the better right?)

2. I miss the SNS options i had with samsung roms (installed specific apk's into system/app without installing Social Hub) being able to synchronize my calendar(events birthdays etc)+contacts(pictures+email accounts and other info) with facebook and other accounts without installing facebook app (which actually drains battery like hell plus it synchronizes only contacts and most of the times doesnt really work for me at least).

3. I like the new keyboard but i miss the way options(select all,copy,paste etc) were showed to you when texting with the old one or the way you could change language plus you could text in the whole screen when you were in landscape mode.

4. I hate the Contacts.apk (i like the dialer tho, which can easily be done with a theme i guess, hail Vertumus :-p ). Doesn't feel handy and if i want to join 2 contacts for example i have to edit one first. It's a pure mess in my eyes in general. I miss the slide right and left to call or text someone as well.

5. Missing the Call Recording (not with an external app)

6. No option to use the second mic when calling someone (was very handy in crowded places with noise)

and other less important changes..

I know all those things might not seem that important (or they can be done with apps from the market) but i like samsung graphics style and stock system apps that make my life easier when using my phone on a daily basis.

Moreover i trust both devs here that will come around with some mods that will give us more options at some point. I allways admired their work and that's the main reason even tho i'm using another rom at the moment, i have a checkrom v6 backup in my phone and i'm still checking their topic every now and then :-)

That's why i asked if changing the dpi of the SystemUI or the apps could be done on a samsung based rom, phone honestly seems different, the whole Ui seems different and that's the only thing i'll miss from ParanoidAndroid. Of course it has hell alot of options for tablet mode etc but since i'm not interested it's not for me)

(I am assuming of course that v7 will be as smooth/stable/battery friendly as previous versions were)

P.S. Sorry for my bad english and the long text.
