Very nice!

I like the Green and tried the minimal. Both very fast compared to 7.1.

Everything except the font, but it's so smooth I endure :)

Again, nice job!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
There should be about 20+ fonts included to choose from in there. I use font changer app from the market to pick which font i want to use. If you dont find the fonts under system/media then I can upload the package of them all to use with font changer.

[REQ] CM7 "ICS" style ring .pngs / .9 / xml (+metamorphs)

Hey guys,

looking to find a small add on ~ need the drawables so that i can a)metamorph b)personally customize files w/ 7zip / winrar, c)in a perfect situation a CWM flashable that will only push ring files

would love the rings in a minimalistic "ics" (white over black lol) style using ring unlock (the three rings (middle unlock,)

- willing to do work, mainly thinking i must be missing something bc i haven't been able to locate the files after a few hearty attempts

any help is much appreciated :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nzhao16:
After installing this, i have been getting "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
While your in cwm recovery flash the zip once. When it is done before you reboot flash it a second time. Also if your still having an issue after a double flash then wipe data/factory reset. Then reflash. Possibly something left over from your previous rom. Or second tbing is download it again in case you got a bad download.

Not positive where the ring files are located as I havent done anything with them, they are part of cyanogenmod. They are probably inside some of the files i havent opened up ever.

Umm....im kinda new to this so please excuse me but what is flashing something mean

And how would i do this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Flashing is just applying something as far as softwate or firmware onto your phone. Kind of like flashing a bios on a pc or installing a operating system. When flashing this you are installing CM7( CYANOGENMOD 7.2) onto your phone. So your flashing a new rom.

indeed.

ones i'm talkin bout are the plain white glowing circles. i may have to edit this one on my own -ripping em apart now *edit* 100% that somewhere lies these files already done 1000x over :) I know this b/c haphazardly i have installed once again CM7 RC2 and over it the ics.apk theme found in a thread with Zed0 ~ from that thread i ran into some of the icons ~ but they were from a previous KANG, and thus could not be used due to size parameters + the need for .xml edits (lol) ~ i am looking into a "online night class for android hacker wannabees ~ (people who feel like helping random dude ~ recommend one)

Patienly i will wait (and continually i will google lol) :cool:

ICS theme for CM7 - awesome $hiz

:cool:

*edit*

located drawables ~ framework-res.apk\drawable-hdpi\jog_ring_xxxxxx

found suitable white circles / swapped out, pushed the framework and voila' ~ now i need to theme the actual icons :)

for any who want white rings instead of the drawable rings for that minimalistic / ics feel, i am uploading my framework-res.apk file which was mod'd using the Defy Transparent Theme as a base. Modded icons to match soon to come!

[Framework-res.apk] pulled from latest CM7 RC2, "modded" ever so slightly (swapped 6 or so pngs) use at your own risk (themed ICS Vanilla Style framework ftw) Do change the permissions of your framework properly (rw-r-r)

Do not thank me for this - thank Cyanogenmod for making their framework-res files editable. LoL
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iservin:
Hey everyone, my name is Ian. I'm kind of new here, at least in a participatory role as wiki master of the Photon 4g's Sunfire dev team/collaboration. I have some talent in the world of web coding, but I'm useless at real programming.

I also have a rather nasty addiction to the world of flight simming, mostly as stand in for real flight time that I'm trying to orchestrate as I work towards a private pilot's license. Anyways, my program I use for flight simulation is X-plane and lacks in 3rd party applications that it can interface with, especially on the Android side. I would like to help to put together an Android app that can work with the sim and control basic functions. My current goal is to control radio systems and autopilot functions. To interface with the sim, I plan to use the Simulator Control System which is based on the CAN Aerospace protocol. This is cross sim application, so whatever works with X-plane will also work with Microsoft flight sim. I've been looking at the website, http://cross-simulator.com/, and I think that this seems like a fairly easy task. All the functions and commands are well documented and supported (there is even an example android code), I just don't know how to start. If anyone in this great community has some advice, I'd love to hear it because I really have no clue.

Thanks, and happy dev'ing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muqtaliff:
I would just download the example, import it in Eclipse and run it on the Android emulator (assuming you have downloaded and installed the Android SDK). Later, you can tweak the example code as you become more comfortable.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pwner5889:
Okay, So I went to https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp and looked up T959v. I see the T959V GB Source Update1.7z. What kind of an "update" is it? Going to take a look at it when it's done downloading.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
I believe it's the source for the actually gb kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pwner5889:
I went through some of the code. I found some references in it from KD1. Atleast from what I saw.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
That's correct from what I remember. I think the SGH-T959V_Opensource.zip was KC1, SGH-T959V_Opensource_Update1_Kernel.7z was KD1, and the last one is KJ6.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pwner5889:
Okay, cool. Thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't using the wrong kernel source.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
KB5

Yup!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
actually I believe the kernel is kd7, a version that was never released
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pwner5889:
Why would it be called KD7 then?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Any code a developer is working on should have a revision/version number, even if that code is not released. So it's possible to have a version of software that was never released.

What has my curiosity piqued is why it wasn't released. I might have to download it and see what the release notes (if any) say about the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
no the open source zip is kb5

the opensource with kernel update1 zip is kd1

and then gb is kg6

Hi folks, that´s a strange one...

After a short 30 min car trip, the battery was almost drained out (and the screen was lit)... but I was sure it was indicating almost 50% when I got into the car!

Then... when I tried to turn it off (I mean standy by mode - the last hard button to the right), the screen blanked out and... came back on again! Tried it a dozen times and the same weird thing happened. Took the battery off and on again... nothing´s changed.

When I plugged it to recharge, the screen still refused to keep off. But... when I unplugged the USB cable, everything got back to normal condition. Tried to plug it again to continue recharging... and the problem came up again...

What could possibly be happening? Thanks for any info on the subject.

Regards!

Sometimes, by time, the End button "Awaken/sleep" button may become stuck.

Try to push it and release slowly (wth? that won't work, I know, but I'm trying to get you all the available solution before making you disassemble the device)

Try to hold the button with your fingernails and pull it, see if the problem is resolved.

(Either way, you will end up fixing it permanently :D)
[HD2 General] Maxp101:
Or just try sucking it out/back into original position ;)

Sounds stupid but worked for a friend of mine.
[HD2 General] eflobo:
Hi guys, thank you for your replies, I´ll add a few coments here...

I´ve already tried that (because I also thought it was stuck), but nothing has changed. Also, the problem ocurred only while it was recharging... after I disconnected, the problem disapeared [check update below]... so it wasn´t some "button-dependent" behavior.

Sorry mate, but I couldn´t understand what do you mean by "suck it out/back"... is it something like the fingernail procedure from the quote above?

[updated]

Ok, after a while it started to keep the screen on (actually it awakes in less than a second after I press the end button) even after I unplug the USB cable.

What I did next was to shake a little bit the USB connection while it was plugged, and the problem disapeared again - but only while the cable is disconnected. :mad:

It looks like a USB connection problem. I´ll try to clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and get back to you with results.

Thanks again!

It happened to me a couple of times that touchscreen behaved weird (acting independent of my actions) while phone was on charging, but I concluded it was a cheap wall-charger that determined that behaviour (also USB related)?!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deniska11:
Hey guys, feels good to be back on i9100 forums, bought an i727, and i must say, i hate that that POS phone, 1.5Ghz feels like 1.0 Ghz single core. Im going back to my old Galaxy S2 after i sell the i727. Really want to get the white one, BUT, checked Gsmarena and it says that the white Galaxy S2 has a different chipset and a different GPU, now, my question is, will i be able to flash ROMs without any problems or incapability issues? And will i see much difference between the two phones? Slower faster, better worse? Im also a gaming fan, and when i used to download games, i remember there a different .apk's for different types of GPU, finding APK's for Mali 400 was never a problem, but what about the PowerVR SGX540? Thanks a lot guys.

Checked out some benchmarks, which i know dont really mean too much, optimus 3d and bionic use same gpu and chipset, but they are worse than exynos sgs2. How significant is this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
In theory, there's no difference between a black GT-I9100 and a white one. What's probably happened is that the site has two different devices (the GSII, and a variant) listed as the same device. Go look up the specs of the international GT-I9100 and pick the one that matches that.

Regarding the question about compatibility, if the device really does have a different chipset and GPU, then no, you'll need ROMs and kernels that are tailored to that device's hardware - so you'd need to figure out which variant of the GSII it is.

On a personal note, I think the black Galaxy S II looks better than the white one :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deniska11:
Thanks a lot for the reply bud. Yea i figured the ROMs wouldnt be suitable for different hardware, so thanks for confirming. I went on Bell's website (my provider) to check the specs, but obviously they dont go into such deep details. I guess i will have to ask someone who already has this phone to look up the specs in the manual or something.

I had a black one for four months, just wanna try white, to me the white one looks better :D

Thanks again

Saw a Nexus commercial, highly considering, but only because of ICS, but then i figured SGS2 will also get ICS, so i guess ill wait
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshmiester78900:
Black verison FTW hell yeah ..!!!! :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
So that one there looks fine, minus the fact it has LTE capabilities, which are lacking in the original GSII. I can't shed much light here, unfortunately.

That said, I think you should go with the Galaxy Nexus - the Galaxy S II is a fantastic piece of hardware, but in nearly every aspect the Galaxy Nexus either matches it, or beats it, and, more importantly, not only does the Galaxy Nexus get direct updates from Google immediately (compared to 4+ months from Samsung), but from experience, all the best development happens for Nexus devices. If it's within your means, go the Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deniska11:
Nexus is 600$ here in Toronto, and thats a bit out of my price range, i mean i can definitely buy it, i just dont see/know if its worth the 150$ extra dollars. Im a heavy camera user, and having an 8mp camera is a huge plus for sgs2. Going back to 5mp....naw. My 5 year old nokia n95 8gig has the same camera. Also dont like how it doesnt have a scratch-less glass. But you definitely made me think :) Is the nexus really that good? And can you please expand on the updates part? Immediate updates?

PS. Cant see where you found that its LTE compatable, maybe took a wrong turn by accident?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
In the long run, it's worth it. Believe me on that.

On the camera, yeah, it's a bit of a step down, but 5MP is by no means a bad camera, and the shutter speed of the Galaxy Nexus is lightyears ahead of the Galaxy S II. Plus, lense technology in smartphones has come a long way since the days of the N95 - so while the sensor might be the same resolution, the picture quality is just amazing.

The glass on the Galaxy Nexus, while not 'Gorilla Glass', which keep in mind is just a marketing term for chemically strengthened glass, is still very scratch resistant. As long as you take care of your device as you would any expensive device, it'll be fine. As a precaution, I'd still apply a screen protector though - but I do that with even my Galaxy S II, no matter how scratch resistant it is. Plus, the curved glass is so much more ergonomic and pleasant to use (and looks downright sexy).

About the updates...

When Google finishes developing updates for Android, i.e. once they've finished the coding and testing, they release it for Nexus devices only, so the Nexus One, the Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus - any other phone has to have the code ported to it by it's manufacturer, a process which takes months. So, the Nexus devices always get updates first, months before any other device.

All this, plus the fact that there's no carrier bloatware, and a 720p HD screen, etc. makes it one killer device!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deniska11:
Got too carried aay with the new years. I checked out a loooot of videos on the Nexus, i really like the software, but the speed doesnt impress me, that lag between transition from portrait to landscape...i kid you not, my N95 did it faster ;) and in this one review they were complaining a lot about the camera. Huuge, no no for me. Its quite pricey, and the reason being is, ICS. If other phones start getting ICS, this phone will drop in price like craaazyyy. I found a good S2 for 400, and now the margin increased to 200$ between S2 and the nexus, and to tell you the truth i dont think the nexus is 200$ better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Well hey, it comes down to what suits you :D

Best of luck with it all!

screamworks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deniska11:
Do you approve my logic? :D

ICS is pretty much made for SGS2, maybe a month or so and it will be ready to use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Now that NITZ is fixed in XXKP8, and the CyanogenMod 9 team have solved a lot of the camera issues, etc., I think you're about right with a month for a decent daily driver - but Samsung won't have an official ICS ROM until around April.

Personally, I'd go the Galaxy Nexus, but the Galaxy S II is still a monster phone, so go with whatever you prefer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Get a pink SGS2. Stylish :D

In all seriousness tho, if you're choosing (or not) a phone based on the colour of the handset, you really should be asking yourself what the hell you're doing on XDA in the first place :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deniska11:
I dont mind waiting for an official, but if the one on xda is worthy, ill get that. Speaking of the fix, im quite amazed xda already got roms, i mean...how long ago was the phone released? Thanks a lot for your input anyways man.

Lol, the things xda keeps enforcing are: dont spam and read previous posts. Not only are you posting a garbage/useless reply, but you also dont know where i am coming from because you failed to read.....anything from this thread. My question was wether i need a diiferent rom, if the s2 had different internals.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I guess you'd better report me to the mods then.

Edit to add - You were told in the first reply to your OP that you were mistaken re: differences in specs between different coloured handsets. If you'd bothered to do your research properly (even Wikipedia would have given you the differences in hardware between the SGS2 "variants"), you would have known this already :-|
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdbailes:
on my family there are 3 sgs2, 2 blacks and my sgs2 white, al of them gt-i9100 with same specifications and the same performance, it only changes with the different version like the lte.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Well, considering that with Gingerbread, I run CyanogenMod 7 instead of Samsung's ROM, I think I'll end up going with the CyanogenMod 9 ROM over Samsung's anyway ;)

The Galaxy S II, at least in Australia, launched in May last year. If you're referring to the Galaxy Nexus, it'd be about a month or so, give or take two weeks. But the source code was out about a week or two before the Galaxy Nexus shipped, and has been out for around two months or so, again give or take a bit :D

I might be getting one sometime in the next few weeks. I was just wondering, is anyone using an InvisibleShield, or BSE or any other skin on their white Galaxy S II?

Gonna buy mine sometime soon too. I dont think it makes a difference, my friend has a white iphone with a ghost screen protector, it lookes exactly the same. MAYBE just a tiny little bit less...white

There are a few people that report it drains battery and that the arrival time is off by about 15 minutes. I used it today for a 60 mile drive then a 60 mile drive back and it was only about 2 minutes off and barely used any battery because it auto-snoozes after about 30 minutes.

Disclaimer: This is not not supposed to be another battery life issues thread.

So! I have been noticing that my nexus has been showing a slight increase in available charge without being plugged in. I never noticed this occurring on my thunderbolt and my old touch never made it that far along so I can't compare it to that.

I have calibrated my battery 3 times since I bought it and have been swapping ROMs. I am currently running Android Revolution 2.1.2.

Does anyone know what might be happening?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
It happens. It's normal. Sometimes you demand too much of your battery. It heats up losing a little voltage but gains a little back when it cools down. Another epic reason uv'ing is valuable. Lower heat. It also extends longevity of electronics and your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Its just voltage being under load and then being relaxed so it pops up a bit. Some phones exhibit this and some don't. It all depends on the type of battery driver used. Some like the max17040 use voltage to determine SOC and some use strictly coulomb counting which don't have this bounce effect. Most Samsung phones use the max17xxx fuel gauge using voltage, and most HTC phones use ds2784 and similar which just counts current, so no bounce.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SFBPro:
Thanks guys, I had a feeling it was something like this. Thanks for all the info, especially the stuff about the drivers. I find it fascinating how something like the way a charge is measured can cause effects like this.
