has anyone tried this>>>

[KERNEL] void.echo

if so what kind of results can you share with me , smoothness stability , battery life etc
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sahildeswal:
Been using Void for the past 5 days. Must tell you in terms of performance & smoothness, its the best at the moment. (My own personal opinion) Battery life is decent. I actually use it OC'ed to 1.4 Ghz with Checkrom 3.1.1 and its giving me crazy performance. Feels like alienware in our hands :D And btw, its the slimmest kernel by far...

Go for it...

i already flashed Samsung voice to go app from the kitchen and the original voice commands are working fine

so, what am i missing guys?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sahildeswal:
Speedmod used to be my staple diet, but din't like the screen brightness tweaks so for a substantial time was on cf root kj3...got kickass battery life...then tried siyah, not stable enough for me. Finally void gives me the performance i demand. Also, i used to have 30 % battery left at the end of the day. Now void makes sure i recharge every day which I actually appreciate! :D

and what is the default kernel in 3.1.1?

which kernel is better for sppeed and battery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
it was installed v2.6, i updated from market , but still same crappy error... :(

edit/ got it, voice search was missing https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch

Siri 4S = Iris Android, just a alpha rls, but its kinda funky to play with
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
yes, the steps are the same. cf root is default, as you can read in the changelof on the first post. and test for your self regarding kernel, people get different results with different kernels, so you must test. if don;t OC or UV the start with speedmod, a stable version, then the rest.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zavenfoizon:
Is siyah kernel good ? I want to even oc....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
SiyahKernel question?

the version of CWM from this kernel is able to restore nand backups made with Cwm5 from CF-Root?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bons:
Tried voice.echo for a couple of days. It is a very good kernel. Only one problem: charging speed in my car is too low. When using Sygic nav, battery level keeps dropping. I am on Siyah 2.2p now, and charging in the car is ok again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
yeah it's good. if you OC be careful with the settings. i had an incident with my phone and it might be siyah related. so as a precaution i switched to speedmod because it's ok without any input from me. and i dont have to worry about oc or uv

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
No. I flashed the new ICS theme over the same jkay theme without problems.

You'll need to reinstall the settings app afterwards. Easist option is use tb, uninstall then restore app + data to get the app and settings back.

You should reboot after as some of the settings won't take affect until after a reboot.

I tried to do it myself, i edit the phone.apk (call_card_person_info.xml) but i have a problem with the crop and the smali file of contact.apk.

I compared with winmerge the AttachImage, ContactsUtils, and EditContactActivity.

I understand the modification with hexa value (same as phone.apk), but i see there is other modification in the other line, and don't really know what they do for the const.

Could you tell me what i've exactly to edit, for being able to do it myself for every release ?

Thanks for your help, and congrats for the RD :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
I noticed that when I choose "Activities" or "Media" when I am viewing a contact. Nothing displays in media and "Activities" sits there loading indefinitely and doesn't bring anything back.

Do I need to install this "SNS" (from the kitchen) I keep reading about, for this to work? If so, what else does SNS give?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] milan188:
Thanks it worked. But I realised I dont like it anymore. For me it feels incomplete little bits here and there that look like ICS.

+1 for the Revolution Theme

If you want something close get the JKay.BlueCircle.HTC.CFC cwm zip. The only thats missing is the blue progress bar. Its still green with JKay Mod.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
Sns gives battery drain and will link facebook, twitter etc to your contacts so you can see pictures and status updates from inside the contacts app.

I found the battery drain out weighed the benefits of the app.

I now use the facebook app to sync with contacts. It won't provide the media etc in the contacts app. Though when you think about it it isn't that difficult to open the facebook app if you want to look at that info.

@GadgetCheck I tested the modded TWlauncher(5 columns) from Checkrom v1 and it works well with v3.1.1 so you can add it to the kitchen.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
Which version of the ics theme did you try? I find the latest in the kitchen is the best so far. The most important thing to do with this theme is change the display profile to movie, it really makes the theme look beautiful.

Had I not read that in vertumus's thread I would have changed back for similar reasons you put.

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
That's what I figured...it would be nice to be able to see that info from the contact page...but I have FB, G+, Twitter etc already installed and syncing....so the extra battery time is pretty pointless...I thought maybe there may be a way to make the contact app fill this information from the proper apps, instead of a specific Samsung app/sync combo

Cheers

I did a full wipe and installed the rom again. After that I missed JKay Deluxe Settings. So I installed it by myself. But it seems to be a wrong version cause it always says 'Deluxe Theme has expired' and so on. Where do I get the right version from?

I don't find the battery drain all that much. But I'm thrilled with 10-12 hours of US syncing everything at minimum times, running 5 widgets of Pulse updating at minimum. I think people needlessly worry far too much about battery life to enjoy all the great powerful features of this device. There are so many ways to minimize the worry.....extra batteries, larger batteries, charging nightly. If it were an iPhone yeah I would be trimming and rationing...a lot to get a day out of it

I am using the Samsung 2000mah battery and back....(and still carry an extra Samsung battery) I want to USE everything the phone offers to the maximum effect and power.

The problem is some app

S are poorly written compared to others.

In my view your phone should use minimal battery when idle allowing as much as possible for real use.

The social hub and sns package causes wakelocks. My point is find other apps that still allows you to use the phone but won't eat your battery.

I'm Getting over 24 hrs between charges using the phone as described on the stock battery with use described above, over 3 hrs screen on time.

You should look at this challenge your approach find better alternatives to what you use and be amazed at your battery life with high use.

You will be given more and ore themes at regular intervals and remember when ever you flash one theme and then if you want to flash another theme then use the theme restore package first and then only install another theme packages.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
I am not sure that it is needless worrying, it is function and convenience as a balance. I am a pretty heavy user of my phone (Daily: Gmail, GTasks, Web Browsing, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Various Games, Poweramp, Foursquare, Whatsapp, FBReader, texting and at some point...a phone call or 2 :p ), but I still get decent battery life out of it (I charge each night). I will not, however, buy a higher capacity battery pack and then carry around an additional battery pack...for me, part of the beauty of the phone is how light and slim it is...

Is it really USING everything on the phone to have these 2 tabs filled with data...when I will look at those tabs maybe 4 times a month? Especially when I am accessing the applications directly, multiple times per day? I suspect not.

The Facebook application doesn't really cause me a problem, but if I am going to have something running (FB, G+, SNS etc) then I would want it to sync in the background...which, obviously will have some effect on battery life.

I wanted to confirm that SNS was required to fill these tabs...and I was hoping that someone would shout "No...you can use the normal FB/Twitter etc apps to do it for you"...and that I was missing something.

Thanks for the info everyone.
