Camera still with shutter sound :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mb:
I'd agree with that. It's been faultless. I can't see much of a difference between kernels now (Speedmod/Siyah) but my perception is Speedmod is better for responsiveness and battery life. It barely drained today when I had the screen on for most of the afternoon.

If anyone has any scientific proof I'd love to know!

This is still by far the best SGS II ROM out there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DirkTeur Velserbroncx:
Runs like hell without a wipe (just my nose, because i have a cold)

Thanks for your work but do you have the mising apps aswell because i realy

need fm radio.apk during work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
so go download the hacked camera apk with no shutter sound...

Why is it english when i press the "menu" button on the phone, no matter what languages i choose its still english on the "menu", everything else is correct.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] glenncain:
Found it. Thanks. I found that the culprit was friend caster. Or so it seems. further testing will determine the truth.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] musashiro:
i wish mrphilo can post the list of apps he had when he made the screenshots on the first page... so we can somehow detect which app drains our juices...

i just installed this and noticed that the placement of the letters q & a on the keyboard is switched... can this be fixed or is there an option that i can tick/toggle?

and is it also possible to return the "looping homescreen" instead of the bouncing one?

thanks for this rom.. will post more observations with regard to battery life.. my current combo is this + siyah 2.1.1...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dalamchops:
just toggle the keyboard in the settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
The quicksettings is used to edit your quickpanel. The other one is just an addon. Its a easy way of applying Samsung secret codes or whatever its called.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Okur90:
hey I'm currently on the stock rom from o2 which is KI7 I think, running GB 2.3.3. Is this older than KH3? Do I need a full wipe before installing the ROM? After my Desire, all these codes on the Galaxy Kernels and firmwares are confusing. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kikoexe:
what particular setting should i toggle? because i went to Settings -> Language and Keyboard, and tried almost all of the settings there, but still those two letters are misplaced..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] somanshmittal:
nice rom

Hey philo! A brilliant rom there! can you make like two versions of 1.2? One with the samsing bloatware n one without? I use social hub and cant do without it. i did copy tye apk dat u uploaded but it doesnt work. it keeps coming back to the you need to register message and fcs for sns accounts like facebook. i understand dat you uave slimmed it down but i would prefer to have the samsung n google default apps. please c if it can b done.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vash:
You're missing the point, if you add the samsung bloatware it won't be simple & clean anymore :D

If I remember correctly, I went to

Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Samsung keypad -> Input languages

and selected English(US). make sure you deselect everything else in there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kva:
ROM translations

It seems that this KJ1 rom has not full Russian translation inside. Also info states that this rom is KI4, not KJ1.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _cummoo:
Nope, there will be definitely no bloatware version "Simple & Clean 1.2" !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPhilo:
You can search around the forum for a FMRadio or you call download all deleted kj3 package and use it from there (should still work, doubt they can update anything for the FMRadio). Im not on my computer anymore I would have uploaded a file for it :)

Download Simple & Clean v2.3.1 (1MB +) and flash.

Theres no changes between KK2/5 compared to previous KJ's, only bug fixes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] goodsmile:
nice 2.3 and kk2 :D

camera has improve again for me! nice

for the shutter sound, my phone was on silent and the the shutter was off

so i guess the 2.3.1 update is not neccessary for me? hehe

would be great to have over scroll on home screen tho

but overall very nice rom like always!

thank you once again mr.phillo =)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cbuy:
Want to try !

Hey Mr. Philo: Nice work !!! Want to try it. Please tell me: I'm on stock KJ2 with Siyah kernel 2.3. Can I flash S & C directly from CWM ? Anything prior to do it ?

Chees !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPhilo:
Go for it, non-wipe should be fine :)

Yeah it'll work for certain people I don't know why, but instead of using local.prop, I included it in the build.prop so it should work for everyone :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
good job MrPhilo...everything is runnin like a champ...gmail gave me an issue, but nothing an unninstall and reinstall couldn't fix....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPhilo:
Yeah problems might occur since it's a difference firmware!

Could have tried Delete Date or Cache ;) but you've fixed it anyways!

Please report battery on KK2 though :)

EDIT: Gay, looks like im still getting shutter sound after to v2.3.1 hmm weird.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elite_gamer04:
Just about to flash - I'll hold of if your about to release a new version before I leave work in 2 hours :)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] superleeds27:
Why not just delete the sounds from the \system\media\audio\ui\
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPhilo:
You could but some people might want shutter sound. Its alot easier and less errors will pop up in camera.

Dont worry v2.3.1 will be a small flashable file, you'll need v2.3 for it anyways :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cbuy:
Almost done !

Awesome ! I'm running it ! It's fast and responsive. Also nice to get rid of those crap apps.

Just one thingie: I like Swype, and I'm part of the beta, so I downloaded and installed it. But upon activating it, begin forceclosing. Every time I want to type something, the message appears: "com.swype.android.inputmethod...". Any thoughts ?

+1 anyways !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPhilo:
I'll upload it tomorrow for you in the addon :)

Btw Shutter sound is fixed, it corresponds with your volume setting.

Soo

VIbrate / Silent Mode = No sound

Normal Mode = Sound
[Galaxy S II Android Development] goodsmile:
download the deleted apk pack from op

and look for swype.apk and push it in system/app =)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cbuy:
Yet one more...

Excuse me for my dumbness sir... but can you please explain "push" ?

Thx !!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] goodsmile:
what i meant was copying the file into system/app

but u have to use something like root explorer to access the system folder
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Copy it there with either es file explorer, root explorer or super manager. All these apps are available on the market. You might have to go to settings of the app and enable root functions first then mount system folder rw. Super manager does it automatically when you try to open the system folder.

:)

Runs fast as. Curious to see the battery usage (my major point).

Otherwise - great ROM, as usual

[Galaxy S II Android Development] cbuy:
I promise this is the last one (for now...)

Thank you for your kindness and collaborative spirit ! Please tell me: do I have to modify permissions for the app after I copy it ?

Thanks again !

Alright guys, as usual :D with 2.3.1 which one of ICS domination should i flash :D ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
i think you're going to have to wait for him to update the theme again....i have my phone running great now and i'm just gonna wait for Vert to update his theme...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elite_gamer04:
ATM none, Vert has to get a new version out for 2.3.6 - as you can see I've tried a number of times and failed, waiting game :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] goodsmile:
the new ics 1.5 universal should do it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kobellza:
Let see :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elite_gamer04:
As I mentioned above. Nothing with 2.3.6 will work until Vert updates his work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
MrPhilo, I don't know what happened to siyah 2.3, but it was laggy on my phone. Flashed void and the lag went away...currently testing speedmod 18-12 since I noticed you were running it in your siggy...

notice some decent drain when screen is on...started this past at 72%, currently sitting at 70...going to charge it to 100 and run it dry...keep you posted

I miss verts theme!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grgsiocl:
you need to delete all traces of swype using root explorer from system/app and then install beta. after that reboot and it works
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eseregin:
Testing 2.3.1 with included kernel. Almost the same power usage as i had in 2.2.1 with SpeedMod 18-12, so not to bad at all!

Screen - a little difference font as i think, might be though because addicted to SpeedMod kern with different sharp level who knows...

One thing - i can see we have Phone.apk old enough, from Droid version 2.3.4.

Could you somehow repack new version of this apk from KK2 ROM to exclude NC, or may be in this version at last it will work normal?

The really annoying thing in SGS2 after HTC HD2 - weak phone part. Far from clear, loud voice on HTC. May be (keep in mind that this is PHONE) Samsung will fix something in Phone, in libs (i remember libaudio.so - the thing respons for loud, mic level so on)...

PS

Browser version 2.3.4 as well, may be it is possible to repack new one apk from 2.3.6?

Hi,

I have a problem with the new system font since I flashed 2.3.1, many Vietnamese characters appearing incorrectly. Can I flash the update from that thread and the old default font (2.2.1) will be back.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Fleak:
What about locksreen ? I read something about improvement speed and lags of lockscreen in 2.3.6 .

Anybody noticed some changes ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] microstart:
anyone tried and flash Vert's ICS universal successfully on S&C 2.3.1 with no boot loop?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DimonDroid:
First impressions - 2.3.1 consumes more power then 2.2.1. Can't understand if it is kernel or rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jbergler:
Firstly this is awesome - I went straight to CM7 from stock because I just assumed it'd be better, man was I wrong.

Question is - what modifications are in the Phone.apk for the noise reduction/cancelling fixes? I have been having massive issues with not being heard - the first version I tried let me disable NR in call and that was great but then I must've updated something and now its all gone to crap again.

Any ideas? I'm just pulling down a copy of the stock KK2 firmware to try and pick the Phone.apk out of that to try.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Figalol:
Okay, have installed this and all runnning smoothly. Then when im going to change my keyboard layout/input to Norwegian it isn't there!

Have I missed something, like the baseversion doesnt support norwegian? I changed the csc too nee, wich is scandinavian, but that were only for the languague on the phone. Can I fix this, or do I need to go for another ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eseregin:
look into /system/T9DB - is where norwegian there? if not, check same folder in stock rom for example and just copy here...

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

I did it - Phone.apk and Phone_Util.apk (imho better copy both the same version) - works good... Not sure about better or not, but works

Siyah 2.2i or 2.3 ?

Hello,

Thank you for this great ROM, I just wanted to point out that in my case the last kernel caused me problems and not reboot. I had to return to Siyah 2.2i for everything working again. What is the difference between these two kernels?

I also have noticed that for some S2 Galaxy ROM does not boot with the Siyah 2.3.

In case it's always great job! thank you

P.S sorry for my broken English
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eseregin:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] neosf:
Thank you I have been able to see the differences but I can not understand why I can start my SGS2 with the Kernel.

Yet I made the wipes all the cache and formatting the internal SD Card.

Otherwise I works perfectly well with the 2.3.1 Rom!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] glenncain:
i have just flashed the new entire suite of S&C 2.3.1 and the attached kernel, then ICS domination UNIVERSAL, then Void Echo kernel.

All systems stable. Unless, that is, if not all of ICS domination UNIVERSAL was written over, or if some parts of old-version left-over 'helped' me to avoid a bootloop that should have really occurred.

Yes in my brief time of testing the KK2, it does seem the batt life is not as impressive as the S&C 2.2 (KJ1). I have not conducted a sleep test yet, so you will read my post 14 hours from now to find out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] banok:
Battery consumption seems crazily higher than 2.2.1.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] glenncain:
i have a bug with people calling in and having a force close immediately, which disables the call altogether. i also observe that my reception temporarily becomes zero, and as soon as i force close (no other choice) the reception climbs to normal. happens to every call.

will attempt to cycle different flash of rom kernel and theme to rectify issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jbergler:
Any chance you can post a zip of the files you copied in? I'm having problems - I copied the files in and then I was having some FC problems - not sure if things also have to be deodexed so I'm trying to figure that out in the meantime but if you've got working files it would be much appreciated.

Very good battery life with 2.3 so far. It barely dropped 3% overnight. Me happy.

Hey

I just wanna ask

What's the best kernel for Simple & Clean V2.3 in terms of battery life ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
Honestly try them all, and see what best fits your requirements, as your usage and patterns will vary to everyone.

I'm using Speedmod test 12 and so far so good on battery side and performs well too.

As a starter I'd recommend trying SpeedMod, and then any others if you are not happy with that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JackAss Android:
Thanks (:

I will try it now (:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnny8910:
Battery life

I'm getting good results with the latest Tegrak Kernel - Lulz Build16 (KK5).

Both smooth and decent battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
if i'm correct, the theme replaces the ROM's phone.apk...as well as all other apk's that themed in the system/app folder....

don't flash theme and see if phone works properly..may be an issue with verts ICS theme being for 2.3.5 and this ROM being 2.3.6
[Galaxy S II Android Development] glenncain:
yup you are right. i feel castrated. i want my ice cream. WAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~!!!!

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

which reminds me donk, have you fulfilled everything for ICS UNIVERSAL that Vert requests us to do before flashing? i sure as hell couldn't understand every single thing though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mb:
Anecdotally, Speedmod is my favourite if you are a heavy user with the screen for most of the time. The current Siyah seems just as good, but it's early days and in the past it's been good at standby but not so good when the screen's on.

If it's important to you, Siyah is the only kernel which seems to work with the BIOS boot screen animation. It doesn't work without modifying the Speedmod installation.

I thought Void Echo was pants and crashed my phone, so I'd personally avoid that one, but your mileage may vary as they say.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] glenncain:
which reminds me, can't we just install a phone.apk 2.3.6 over Vert's flash? if we have it, that is?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DirkTeur Velserbroncx:
Battery life is fine by me no wakelocks on fmradio and musicplayer anymore

but my guess this is kernel (Siyah) related, 71% left after 12 hrs with a few calls, 8 hrs of fmradio a/o musicplayer normally 39% left en still running smooth, simple, clean and damn its fast the only lag left are my fingers and slow brain matter.

so again thank you verry much Mr. P. for this great rom.

ps. anybody wanna help out on the update script, can't seem to find it on forum
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Thedonk13:
you should be able to...i have not tried the universal theme...i am just going to wait it out with kk2...once everything is updated i will give it a go...im loving my silky smooth phone right now...
