So what exactly is considered a bugless rom? As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't exist as there will always be a new bug as it gets discovered.

If samsung felt confident enough to release 4.0.3 to the masses, then I feel confident that the devs can come up with something decent. Sure, I'm not expecting full performance and battery life of v6, which has been modded tweaked to the core over the past few months. But you have to start somewhere before achieving the perfect rom. On v6 alone, I'm not sure how much more you can improve it and continue to mod it to look like ics when ics is now available and has features worth upgrading for. Just release v7 and people can choose whether they want to keep v6 or not. You will find most will choose v7 even if does have a few bugs and poorer battery life than v6, but it will improve over time as the devs study the code more.

From what I have read in the checkrom forums is basically what you posted. So I'm planning to give until the end of the week for gadgetcheck to confirm/unconfirm what he posted last week about releasing v7 a few days after the base is available. After that, I don't think I can handle sitting on the sidelines anymore, so I'll flash other ics roms for the time-being. I am pretty sure that is what most other users will do as well, so I hope he takes that into account when he makes his decision.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatangaChanga:
If you are so eager to try ics, go ahead. You can give us some feedback.

Many of us trust the devs judgement and expertise so we rather wait for what they think is best.

Cheers! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Borfas:
this is the best rom in all tested so far. but has two bugs:

If headphones are connected to the phone when it stopped when you turn the phone on and play the music goes along with the headset speaker.

second problem: start to phone on, do restart after 20 seconds, approximately,

not always,sometimes. can ics theme this makes problems.

sorry for bad english
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
sorry to say but most don't have this problems. are you using jkay .3? or have you flashed the ICS theme?

and did you do a full wipe before flashing the ROM? in recovery i mean, with system, dalvik, cache and data.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

well google release an update for nexus and it wasn't the best thing out there and had to stop it and fix it for a while. and they will not release the v7 and let people choose, because if you release a newer thing even if it is with bugs, people'll jump on it and test it and because it's ICS, they'll endure those bugs and won't come back or worse change the rom for another ICS build.

like with v6, untill they are sure it will be good they will not release it, you can't have the rating of the rom brought down just because everyone want to jump on ICS without thinking.

leo and GC will have something for us soon, and like they said let them work on it and release it when they feel like it. and remember they don' owe us anything so please let's not annoy them with " ETA" " when is v7 ready" and stuff like that..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] norpan111:
Exactly...its not like you are bound to this rom. I would not recommend doing a v7 with current version either. Straight forward it sucks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alcurtis93:
I would much rather stay on check rom v6. With speed mod kernel it is far far smoother than stock xxlpq. Not impressed samsung 8)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yy1155:
Well, this I need
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Could not agree more mate could not agree more. V6 is more than good enough
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndroidFiber:
Anyone encountered problem using speedmod21 w/ checkromv6 regarding cwm recovery. When i backup/restoring data internal and sdcard are switched. I restore/backup thru internal it will open to sdcard which is the external..thats wierd.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anayalater75:
Just updated to LPQ & i must say that the browser is simply stunning + ijust installed chrome and it all works like a charm np ;) ... I'll have to agree that the phone still feels like gb though (which is why i'm using nova launcher :|) ...

Now waiting eagerly for checkromv7 (+ics domination) it will be perfect :D ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
All the more reason why waiting for an ICS custom kernel is better than jumping now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
how can i disable the volume buttons to prevent them from wakeing up the device on v6?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
umm they don't wake it up.. i can press them all i like and nothing. look in jkay settings. maybe there is something there..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonno92:
This definitely fixed my problem instantly! However, I keep getting the issue sometimes, which is annoying because sound in some apps don't work, and my alarm doesn't go off some mornings!

I've tried different kernels and different modems and I keep running into the problem sometimes. Also, my phone lags ALOT when I'm switching between phone/speakerphone/bluetooth headset. I'm guessing this is a related problem so was wondering if you had suggestions on how to fix it permanently?

I use my phone for business purposes so I don't want to lost 10 seconds of conversation when switching from bluetooth to speakerphone :(

Any help would be much appreciated! :cool:

Cheers :D

Does anyone know how I can only have the phone icon and not both, mute and phone when in silent mode with vibrate enabled
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
bigger image if needed

Edit: does not let me upload, says incorrect extension file :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Yep, look in jkay settings/status bar options, untick Non-silent vibration icon
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
Thanks, i'm trying to get used to this ROM, I've only had 1 problem so far which was my reception/signal bar would disappear and be replaced with a no entry logo, then it would just keep on rebooting... I had to switch the phone off to get rid of the problem

use rootexplorer and then follow this guide

go into system/usr/keylayout

then long press on sec_key.kl and then open in text editor make sure you have the settings to r/w. then were it says volume_up and volume_down delete the word wake next to each one..then save and exit. reboot the phone and then you will not have the volume keys waking up the phone anymore
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
my phone does that by default, or is something wrong with mine ?:))
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
well same with mine mate but if they want to disable them then the above guide is the way to disable the volume buttons from waking up
[Galaxy S II Android Development] InnAl:
My volume keys don't wake up my phone. I didn't change anything via root explorer.

CheckROM is the BEST ROM out here !!! )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
Guys, just experienced another problem... Got a message saying that my SD card was unexpectedly removed and I now have apps that are greyed out, e.g. the HSW app

Does anyone know why this happens?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AlexMagik:
shut down the phone, remove the SDCard, give a clean to the golden contacts, use a soft material to clean, just soft paper would do, then reinsert make sure it's firmly in. then boot up the phone and you should be set.

hopefully it's not anything worse (you may can check if inserting in your computer does work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
the thing is my external sd has nothing on but music files... no apps are on my sd... it sounds to me like the internal sd (16gb) is failing if that makes sense :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
i know this sounds silly but have you tried rebooting the phone? take your sd card out and reboot and see what happens
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
that doesn't sound silly at all, i will try giving that a go now and see if i still encounter the problem! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
Just gave it a ago without my SD card and still got the same problem... You can see from the HSW app
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zekurosu:
just a question...can i just flash LPQ over CRV6 without having to wipe it? or isit still recommended to wipe?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shahed26:
Its always highly recommended to do a full wipe when moving from one rom to another
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
sorry mate not much else i can advice you than try flashing the rom again and do full wipe and format system and see if that works.. i know long winded but if you want to get rid of the problem that is the only option...try backing up the rom and apps before you do that (that is if you choose that is) sorry i cant help anymore never had this happen to me :(

do a full wipe... but if i was you i would wait instead till v7 comes out...but anyway if you do try the new LPQ i see you back in two days tops;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
it happenes from time to time.. unistal the app and reinstall.. i found no fix to this. somehow somethings gets screwed up..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
thanks guys, well i've already backed everything up so i might aswell format and do full wipe and start again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zekurosu:
on second thought stifler mate.... i'll wait for GC & Leomar's version... CRV6 is good enuff for my daily use.. wouldnt swap it with anything else apart from VR3.0 hihi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
:D told you that you are better off waiting mate..;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes you can but most likely u will have problems. I did it yesterday just to see how I fared out but I ended up doing a full wipe again this morning. I was gettin fc's at random. My advice is do a clean install.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stevehkim:
Clean install is the best. Especially if going from 2.3.6 to 4.0.?

My ICS. I'm Checkrom'd Suckas.

SIYAH Synthetics

I777 SGS2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
I'm actually liking it so far. A lot of slight visual improvements and a cm9- ish style UI. So far mine is very fast and smooth. Battery seems poor but ill not judge just yet.

It has some nice touches too, like when u hit silent in the puldown menu it displays silent icon in the status bar. If u touch it a second time, it displays the silent vibration icon.

Also, notification vibrations can be individually adjusted which is cool.

I don't see any reason so far that CR V7 shouldn't be based on LPQ.

Even jkay is starting his magic on it ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
all honesty moving forward is always good and you are correct. but the one thing that would make custom ICS roms complete would be custom kernels... Yeah it would be cool mate when we get v7 but like i stated before i rather wait for the version by the devs rather than me doing the jump by myself...:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robbiekhan:
Custom kernels? I've been using CF-Root kernels almost all teh time but occasionally hopping between others (Siyah/SpeedMod etc) but always go back to CF-Root.

Stock based always seemed best for me for battery life and performance. I don't OC/UV or use BLN though.

LPQ is very good and I look forward to CRv7 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm... I fail to see how CF-Root can be more battery friendly than say N.E.A.K. for example.

All comment that I have always read from people which have tried both said CF-Root was draining battery way too fast.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
exactly..the amount of stupid posts since yesterday from people moaning about battery on the latest ICS kinda proves how badly we need custom kernels. not just saying that cause it would make cm9 better(sorry had to get it in ;)) but in general a custom kernel provides better balance all round for everything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robbiekhan:
Well all I can tell you is that I've not had to OC or anything and I use CF-Root kernel and don't have battery issues.

I have noticed different modems have varying degrees of battery draw but those are known anyway.

My dad's Orange S2 is running stock LPQ and it's also just fine.

The fact that many people complain about issues just means many people has some issues. Not everyone does and I'm (and my dad) in the latter boat.

My point is this, custom kernel devs will out their kernels anyway which is fine. CRv7 could be released using stock CF-Root, indeed it should be ideally anyway giving users the choice of installing the kernel they want (which is the whole point to having a kitchen app anyway).

It's not like as if Samsung spent 5 months twiddling their thumbs and then on the last day said "yep, just throw in LPQ".
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm... I can pretty much guarantee you that if you flash N.E.A.K. Kernel and then underclock to 800Mhz + use the voltage settings from my MagicConfig thread you will see a noticeable improvement in battery life.

You don't have battery issues because you only use CF-Root kernel and have not tried to tweak a custom kernel to strive towards more battery life.

I ask you one thing... do you stick to CF-Root because you don't need longer battery life or because you sincerely believe that you can't achieve it by correctly tweaking a custom kernel? Or maybe you don't know how to tweak it...

PS. And most of the time people complain about issues is because they have done something wrong themselves, not because there is something wrong with the kernel...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
I agree but v7 will most likely be released with cf root. Can't wait for v7. But curiosity got the better of me with LPQ... lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Powereh:
Of course your going to see a noticeable difference if your down clocking the cpu.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
ICS here we come! :D

I can't wait for v7!

you will work on the new ICS version, Right?! :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
even if you leave stock defaults on a custom kernel and you choose a governor though and scheduler you will still notice a massive difference still..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes they are mate.:) Wait for some pure Check magic...**** i might as well get my theme working for the rom if i can
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Guys im facing a strange problem im unable to download apps from the market and also im not able to install theme's, kernal or anything from the kitchen pro app . Also when i go to CWM , at the bottom of the screen something comes like

E: Cant open /cache/recovery/log

E: Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

PLease help im in big trouble
[Galaxy S II Android Development] @denny:
i am using lpq with wanams 9.3 ics , had set cpu set to 1200 performance and was draining battery quicker than on v6 , now i have it set still to 1200 but on demand and battery seems good if not slightly better than gb , this could of couse just be me or maybe because this is a clean phone now from all the wiping i dunno, i am liking the subtle little tweaks that come with ics tough, and yes v7 should be interesting;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
not a lot of info there first mate..what kernel are you on firstly? have you updated the kitchen app from the market? did you do a full wipe when flashing the rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alexpiri:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache!

Same happened here and I solved
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Im on Sirya and yup i did a full wipe while flashing the rom

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lawrrtan:
Guys, I am unable to go to clockworkmod recovery by pressing the three buttons (holding power button + volume up + home button). It just hangs in the Samsung Galaxy s2 icon. It doesnt load up. Left it like around 30 minutes and nothing. I wanted to go to recovery so i could flash another rom since the current one is just hanging. Is there another way i can go to recovery? Thank you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Are you pressing the buttons in the right order?? (it has to be, Vol Up + Home + Power and hold until recovery appears)

Also are you sure you have CWM recovery installed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
I've never had to press in order, i've just powered the phone off, held Vol Up + Home + Power and then when the screen comes on with SGS2 logo i let go.

It then goes to recovery.

If your still stuck, load up the phone as normal, connect it to USB then using adb type

adb reboot recovery

The phone will reboot staight to recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
You can enter from cwm app, I guess you have custom recovery
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lawrrtan:
It doesnt go to recovery by pressing the three buttons. Im sorry to ask but how do i load up phone as normal? I will just connect the phone to to usb? The phone just hangs in the logo

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Could you explain what are you trying to do? Confused...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Something weird has happened with your phone... how the hell did you get to this stage?

Anyways, try reflashing CF-Root LA4 kernel in ODIN while your phone is in Download Mode (if you can get into it). The you shouldn't have any problem getting into recovery.

Flash Gapp

Coming from CM9, I miss latest Gmail app and its widget.

I know that flashing the same Gapps zip from CM9, I could break something.

Anyway, what could happen if I push Gmail.apk into \systems\app\ ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] komsa:
you have nothing to lose,restart your phone after pushing and if it works ok,if not, delete it and restart phone again :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gamotom:
Well...if you try, I d really like to know if it worked!

I also love that gmail widget!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aeroman:
give it infos for CheckRom ICS? :D

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cruzargel:
got back to this ROM after checking out wanamlite ICS.. this is so much better. I think it will take a while to build a "counterpart" of CheckROMV6 in ICS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aeroman:
Many think currently so :p LPQ its for me beta :)

i try wanam v9.3, it have the same Probs and Bugs of ICS ROMs. ;)

me interested if CheckRom-Team develop furthermore with Samsung based Roms or a mix with AOSP Apps under ICS?

Is there a nice battery mod for v6 that shows the %? (and 1% increments)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
No such problems Speedmod K2-21 is by far and away the best all round kernel for the SGSII especially battery life.

I'm not sure if this is ok, but could someone stick up the wallpaper from this ROM which has a textured black background and a colored ribbon from the top right of the screen to the bottom right? Many thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omegajester:
It might be a different experience depending on the device, but that asseveration you just made, in my device, corresponds to void.echo kernel...

Actually what we call Dialer is Contacts.apk, it includes launcher icons for contacts and phone.

If you want to play a bit with it you can modify transparent package by yourself.

open (do not extract it) with winrar of 7zip Contacts.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/

and replace these two png: ic_launcher_contacts.png and ic_launcher_phone.png with the ones you prefer!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
The "lag" was always present with every stock Samsung firmware, this happen because when your phone "sleep" the CPU freq scale to a lower frequency in order to save battery. That said when your phone wake up since the freq is scaled down, it takes some time to react!

You should consider to use SetCpu with a compatible kernel in order to create a custom profile for screen lock wakeup, remember that in this way you can solve the lag but you will consume more battery!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OuT.Law:
Any updates regarding the New Kernel ?
