Hold Back to Kill

I am wondering why this function was removed. This was so useful to so many of us. Could this be reactivated in v1.6 or at least reintroduced into next version :-D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] switchgott:
Hi please, could you tell me what excatly you have changed

with "gps patched super fast" and "gpu issues fixed for gamers"?

Realy big thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sachinaik:
Hi Wes,

1.6 is awesome. Flawless smoothness.

One thing I observed is many rom developers can get one version right and the next version something wrong.

But its not the case with you. I'm proud to stick with your rom.

Some requests for the next version :

1. Pls make Gmail theme like gtalk. Unread mail in blue and read mail in black.

2. Pls make contacts truly black themed. Right now its grey.

3. Pls include Polaris office as part of rom as u have done with black edition apps. This will save us from flashing the black themed rom only to get Polaris office.

Very happy with this release :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PatrickWu:
I can't find setting out but this functionality to me is still workable.:rolleyes:

I flashed V1.6 over V1.5 directly.

Haven't flashed V1.6 but what's with the Market not being able to purchase apps?

Paid apps or even free apps are not getting downloaded? I will perform a full wipe btw. Still won't work?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PatrickWu:
As for Polaris office, suggest you to back up (using titanium) the app first. I used to do that so never worry about if this is excluded from either of rom releases.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] switchgott:
Please, any info about ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gate83:
Iam stupid.. How do i install build prop fix 1.6?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iekansh:
Info about what?

Put that zip on sd and flash it via recovery just like this rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
through cwm recovery
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Theguru1:
I'm going to ask a silly questions

1. what is the black edition??? is it a theme?? if so, if people don't like it can it be switched off?

2.is the pictures of this black edition?? or video?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gustopher:
Purely in the interests of balance and in the face of considerable contrary opinion, can I just say that I detest the black theme. I am well through my goth phase, have left my Cradle of Filth albums behind and have no immediate plans to take up a job as a tech savvy undertaker. :)

Happily enough, one of the joys of this ROM is that I can have exactly what I want without causing distress to any of my Poe and Lovecraft reading friends.

Seriously good job on the ROM though...

Market issue in V1.6

Hi all. Just want to share on how I solved the problem with market issue. I came from v1.5, did exactly what was written in OP by west, and still face the issue of not being allowed to purchase apps from Google Play Store

1) I used Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Play Store

2) Boot into recovery, and flashed gapps fix which was released for v1.4 (I believe it can be found in the mirrors compiled by Gabo)

3) Reboot the phone, and launch Play Store again

Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thedarksoul:
Guys, in order to not have the black theme, just flash the classic theme through recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
This is theme, if want to revert back to stock theme just flash again rom without wipe or fash stock theme.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
This problem occurred with Black themed Apps before.

Way to solve it is easy:

-Remove current Play Store via TB

-Restore PREVIOUS Play Store with TB

-It should be up and running again (no black theme though, but I prefer the normal Play Store anyway!)

-Have fun purchasing apps again :P

Hope this helps!

Really like this ROM , thanks to the devs . Just 2 things doesn't work on my phone, spirit fm and it doesn't mount my external sd card, but aside from that it is the best AOKP ics base rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] coxlufc:
Use build.prop fix from first page to get spirit FM working add mentioned earlier in thread ;-)

V1.6

Testing today - have been amazed with all the versions since 1.1.

once tested I will add some links that I think help out this rom

Like phone.apk for 160 DPI working, yellow triangle, EQ etc

Recommended apps and build prop edits to give it a more personal feel

once you remix you cant stop - Westcrips you are a PIMP
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alvin.durant:
Use multi mount sd card from playstore.

First time posting here so BIG thanks to West, Gabo, Vreestyle and everyone who are contributing here and making this ROM so amazing.

Comming from 1.5 (with stock kernel i got 37h bat. life with medium to heavy use), 1.6 has no problems so far (will wait couple of days for bat. live), no FC's, market working perfect with modded dpi (184) so I can say this is the best one so far (love the black apps).

TIP! - Follow the instructions guys, you'll have no problems at all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
Thanks for the screenshots:) Looks quite good! Was still considering if I should upgrade or not, but since it is a no-wipe version, currently downloading it through 3g:P

And glad I could help! :)

Camera Sport Photo Function...

I've been flashing since version 9.4.... Really think Wes is doing a awesome job... On V1.1 the Camera that came with that version had a Sport (motion) function.. Really awesome, but since version 1.2 it was replaced with AOKP ICS VERSION... No Sport (motion function)...

Here is a example of a photo: -

butterton.co.za/sport.jpg (please have a look at this link)

Resurrection Version 1.1 did not use AOKP apps so the action photo function worked perfectly, unfortunatly from V1.2 all the ROMS used AOKP apps so you cannot install the camera that came with version 1.1 or even replace the camera with the version 1.1 camera in the system\apps folder...??

Any Idea how I can get a camera with that funcion for V1.6...???

Thanx

Roy :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chairmansaab:
Amazing guy !

Hey mate,

Are you fooling us or are you really getting 37h with med - heavy use ?

I don't know how you manage 37h hour with med-heavy usuage

Just for your info maximum screen on time you can get is 8 hour !

CPU / WIFI and other things are not included

If you running your CPU at 500mhz (avg)

Your Battery life will drop to 6 hours

To the point - as you said you getting this battery life with med - heavy usuage so i assume cpu power required is (med)800( from where voltage start increasing - battery) - 1200mhz (heavy)

In my case i am getting only 3.5 H max ! (With med-heavy use)

And while playing HD Games 1.50 Max (3D acceleration consume battery too, right?)

So just tell us how on earth you suppose to get that top notch battery life with med-heavy usuage?

Please now don't say 33h it was on stand by !

Battery stats screenshot please?

Don't get me wrong but i am just curious how you manage that much ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] D3adm0nk3y:
Is it better for battery performance to do a full wipe i upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3 to 1.4 to 1.5 to 1.6 with no-wipe. And what does wipe battery stats mean? My battery lasts for +/- 10h with normal usage. In betterbatterystats only audio_out1 has the most partial wakelocks. Any suggestions? I run 1.6 with stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chairmansaab:
Nope bro it is normal on AOKP since b31 i am waiting for an update till !

No wipe meaning there will be no apps lost after install v1.6?

Titanium I have it.. but I still have to re-install all of them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
Just updated from 1.5 to 1.6 with no issues at all.

As everyone is mentioning, google play black is broken in a way that you can't purchase any apps. As I said in my previous post, just unninstal it and recover a previous working version from TB or just download an apk and install it. I assume also that if black Google Play is broken, you will have trouble sending mails through black gmail (happened to me before), so if that happens, same process to get it working:)

Apart from that, really nice rom !

EDIT: Black gmail works fine sending and receiving emails, so it's just google play that is broken. Only issue with Black Gmail is the <b></b> tags when deleting an email. Apart from that, all good!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ReiKo90:
Hey guys, what is "build prop fix 1.6" and do I need to apply it if I use wipe method? Should I even use Wipe? (I'm currently on 1.4 Ressurection Remix ROM).

Also, CM9 kernel here it's optional? Because I use Siyah.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ady7262:
work great 10/10 everything is stable and smooth. Thanks west for the great ROM and the best part is no need to wipe the data :)

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

One thing that I would love to see fixed:

Would it be possible to get rid of the <b></b> tags when deleting an email in black Gmail? It is something that has always been there and never been addressed. Not a big issue, but it just looks bad when deleting stuff!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chattyuk:
Here's a little help

I had problems flashing 1.6 over 1.5 in recovery and got problems like "assert failed getprop ro.product.device"

To fix this I flashed 1.5 build.prop fix, rebooted then installed 1.6 without any problems.

So if you're on 1.5 and didn't install the build.prop fix which was released a few days ago flash it first before upgrading to 1.6:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PatrickWu:

I don't see a point why would I "fool" you, just trying to give my experience with 1.5 ROM no need to get snappy on it...

Can't post stats since I'm on 1.6.

If it helps you I can tell you this:

Stock kernel with "ondemand" governor cpu 200/1200

WiFi on 8-12h per day (Work and home use)

I don't play games

Using TeamViewer a lot

Facebook and facebook messenger

I was pleasantly surprised too cause on 1.4 or 1.1 I was getting batery for only 1 day...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
I think that only applies when you use Siyah Kernel or any other kernel that supports OC. This is CM9 Kernel.

Correct me if I'm wrong?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _MrFixit_:
Great ROM!

1.6 works great for me.

Only thing I miss is cifs, but I guess you cant have everything :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
Ehehe don't get all irritated guys. I think your concept of "medium to heavy usage" is different from his. Although to be honest, using only wifi and not playing any games, I would class that as low usage. You will drain a lot more battery whilst on a mobile network and doing something processor intensive like gaming or watching videos.

On the other hand, yes, this rom (well, experience from 1.5, not enough time to test 1.6) can go for 2-3 days with just normal usage (even a bit of gaming here and there), but only mostly if you are on wifi and you don't check your phone that often (unlike me).

On a daily basis, I check emails, use facebook, play games whilst on the bus to and from work (about 35mins each way), whilst using only mobile network and the phone's battery will last me a full day no problem.

Hope this helps clarify things!

If you are coming from another rom a full wipe is important.

Wipe data/factory reset

and Cache partition in CWM

If you were using this earlier there is no need but still it is advisable to do so.

All in all just be safe and wipe and dont remember to backup data.

If you have any other problems regarding the Rom please search the previous comments before posting.

Also after flashing V7.4 wait for some time for the media scanner to finish.

You are so right mate ;) I just wanted to point out the difference between 1.1;1.4 and 1.5 meaning 1.5 is by far better than previous versions in battery life so I hope 1.6 will have at least the same battery life as 1.5 if not better.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] phillamg:
Hi, I've had a similar problem, specifically no titles going to my bluetooth headset and the pause button no longer working. I've just noticed that the Music app (in 1.5) is actually from MIUI so used "Play Music" (from Google) and the titles work again as does the pause button. MIUI's Music has now been frozen thanks to Titanium :)

Can't offer much advice other than to say my phone works with a Sony bluetooth headset via A2DP and my Parrott car kit. Perhaps delete your pairings and try again, then check the phone is set to send Music via bluetooth (the settings icon next to the pairing) and try "Play Music" as the app...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
I think it has something to do with a wipe vs no-wipe. Try this

Flash 1.5 then flash 1.6 on top and follow all the steps from there.

Shouldn't give you any trouble.

Let me know!

I have a bit of a weird problem. I just updated to 1.6 (from 1.0) and now can't seem to connect to my wifi network. It tries to, but it just gives an authentication error. Worked perfectly before the update. (edit: to clarify, I can see all the wifi networks I could see before).

Unfortunately I don't have another wifi network I can test it on just now to see if it's an isolated issue. Will go over to a friend's house later to see if I still have the same problem, but in the mean time does anyone have any ideas?

Only other major comment I have about 1.6 is I really really miss the various widgets on the notification screen from 1.0. I realise I can get them back with apps, but it was nice to have it as standard.
