Do all these random running apps drain the battery or have any effect?

Such as Software Update, MAPServiceSamsung, DSPManager, Media, Google Services, SecPhone, SyncML-DS

All Samsung ICS have these things running compared to CM9 which doesn't.....worth uninstalling all of them?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] aranab:
Testing out 9.0 and I notice that the data transfer arrows from when you are in 3G remain on wifi too

Other than great work in terms of stability and fluiditt. Personally I'll be going back to 8.6 because 9 brings too many gingerbread/touchwiz aesthetics and features

Great stuff though westcrip

anyone know how to force HSPA or 3g services in ICS? I used to be able to acess under network settings to turn off auto select, I cant find the setting now.

The issue is the phone on Orange always seems to select GPRS over HSPA and gives me terrible internet speed even though I know there is an HSPA signal. It picks it up too if I force it to use it only.

Wow.. Umm.. Is this not multi-lang? I just flashed everything as described in the opening post, ICS booted correctly but I am just getting, well what is it, netherland/finland/swedish language?

How can i get swype in 9.0? When no way i must go back to 8.6... :-(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
This is probably the most stable ICS 4.0.4 ROM you'll find out there. If you still have mayor issues with your phone after flashing any RR version try changing your kernel and if your problems persists then you can start blaming the phone. Also if you are getting freezing issues check if you have your kernel's voltages at default values. Sometimes UV can cause freezes... ; )

BTW since RR comes with the Aroma installer you can choose between Siyah, Fluxi or CM9 and all three of them are pretty stable kernels. Try using CM9 with RR 2.6.1... is very unlikely you'll get any issues with this combination.

Depending on how you installed the Camera ICS on 2.6, it was pushed to the system and not wiped on installation on 2.6.1. You can safely remove it if you want (using some kind of root explorer or Titanium Backup)

lockscreen-bln

Hi guys,

Flashed 2.6.1. an hour ago. Just two little issues I cannot find a solution for.

First, my lockscreen doesn't show up. Searched for it in RomControl. Tried to choose another style, but no result.(i use Apex laucher)

Second, Menu and Back buttonlight only light up when moving the brighness slider in statusbar. Searched for it in BLN settings. I want them to light up when touching the screen or push any button... .

In RomControl led flash is unticked.

Someone same issue?

Thanks for your support guys on this thread, I think it's really helpfull for many people. So keep it up all !! :good:

About 2.6.1 update

Well guys i think in this release the top of most asked questions are:

1.- ¿Is this the end of RR?

2.- ¿We can expect a release with Jelly Bean?

3.- The mods of v2.6 works on v2.6.1

The answers are:

1.- No, the 'Final' word on the title just have as reason the upcoming update to Jelly Bean, for this one there are no ETA so, please don't ask.

2.- Yes, as i said above there are no ETA, until we know westcrip it's waiting for the AOKP JB sources.

3.- Yes, works fine.

The above questions are added now to the FAQ version, please read it before post, and helpers i request to you again, if you see some post with this questions redirect the user to the FAQ, if don't i can bet that the thread be filled of that questions instead of the development issues.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Overall very happy with it.. it sure were a ninja release :p

Did a non-wipe this time, and will try out the deep sleep first. Gps worked great.. but so did it earlier today too.. I had another custom gps.conf and the 'solar-storms' seems to have gone away.

I feel a bit cheap to have donated so little earlier today.. but it was before I knew that is were a release coming thundering down upon us.. and just 'spoils of war' anyway.. and a nice gesture, to give you a few beers while working on it! same to gabo to relax with a few nice cold mexican beers, on his 'vacation' (never seen him work so hard :P )

The MMS.apk wasn't the 'row-changing' one, that is my only complaint so far.

Great work as usual! :good:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] reg66:
sorry if this is a stupid question, i understand that i don't have to factory wipe prior to updating to 2.6.1 (from 2.6). but will i have to reinstall/restore all apps/settings etc from appropriate backup files, or will everything remain in place?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sd65:
If you don't format Data partition or if you don't Factory Wipe, >> every app remain in place :angel:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] americoz:
Everything will remain the same. Don't worry, just Install - wipe dalvik - fix permissions and wipe cache partitions.

EDIT: (Add Westcrip's Installation steps)

1- Install the Main ROM

2- In AROMA installer select "Custom Installation"

3- Choose depending of your taste

4- When AROMA installer finish untick the "Reboot Now" option

5- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced

6- Wipe Dalvik Cache

7- Fix Permissions

8- Wipe Cache Partition

9- Reboot

Everything will remain in place if you dont factory reset. Factory resets 'deletes all users data so apps, texts, logs, everything

[Galaxy S II Android Development] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Seems promising for saving the battery life a lot more. :silly::silly:

What about its performance? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
I'm also a diehard Siyah fan.. but lately I've been biased towards Dorimanx.. not every release is 100% stable.. and I whined and cursed so much, from being constructive submitter, that I am in a 'hated' status over there.. but some releases are great, other just plainly don't work for me.. so it's a promising work in progress kernel, that also have Siyah dualbooting, on a good day.

If you have no issues with extweaks saving or deletions when doing something in recovery, it's worth taking a look at.. since 4.8b gave me the best damn deep sleep ever on RR. So I'm split in my opinion.. and now there is korean gps code in it too.. and we all remember what happened last time korean code got into a Siyah kernel, when full-wiping *fzzz* *pop* [dead phone] .. but as I said it's promising.

On it atm.. thats the one with korean GPS source, but looks on the commits that it's removed (on the coming release?)

Wrestled 3 hours to get extweaks back to save the settings, after each reboot to recovery and adding somethings, or making a backup.. (but my phone is a bit special.. and one of the reasons the MultiDPI store is in the installer still.. since it plainly don't work without it as a base!)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
I have to say that right now the most stable and battery friendly kernel for RR is Fluxi. Honestly I don't push my phone too hard so for my daily use which is calling, texting, hanging at XDA : )) and music, Fluxi works great. The most stable version that I've used is XX.02 b10 which is a jewel for battery saving but if you push your phone like a Movie Theater or a PSP everyday then obviously you need a kernel that can handle that. After Fluxi the best battery friendly one IMO is Dorimanx but it's too unstable and has caused problems to many users. Another great kernel I tried was Dark Knight but is an average one and doesn't has any app for tweaking. Siyah is a great battery/performance balance. CM9 is the best for battery saving but since I'm flashing new mods every now and then and it doesn't support touch CWM I don't use it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mordek:
You said that deep sleep is great, so what about battery life? Comparing to siyah (you are using 3.3.2?)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Thanks, found it! :highfive:

Btw, does CM9 kernel have touch recovery? :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
No.

Sent from Nyarlathothep's SGSII..."Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
SO I feel happy with Siyah then, I think unless I become unhappy, exTweaks is great so I might as well stick with what I know!

Was happy to find out what people are using, there seems no perfect winner, so as someone else says its personal choice, seems you can't go far wrong with any of them and of course its no real effort to check them out.

I did wonder how much dedication gokhanmoral may have for the kernel after adopting the S3, but his releases have picked up and to be fair how much more can really be done for this device and build until cm10 release become common place :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
BTW Myfluxi said that his Fluxi kernel is 95% CM9, so if you are looking for an improved CM9 kernel with touch CMW recovery then you should try Fluxi.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Who is Myfluxi? :eek:

And is it really that Fluxi is more less the same like CM9?

I'm a really moderate user.. so deep sleep, with as few wakelocks as possible is my goal.. first in 2.6 i had my first less then 2+days with the godlike 3.3.2.. and a lot of it were GSF and maps wakelock alarms .. I had 3x100+ of them some almost up in the 200.. so i tried dori.. and it was wonderful, even with the wakelocks it gave me a 97 ot 95% deep sleep, with data and sync on, and weather updates 3 hour intervals and atomic clock sync at 6 hour int's

And after 3 phonecalls, voice-callls were on top with 42%!! of the battery used.. with no noticeably battery drain at all!! .. and on second place the sleep mode.. On Siyah that I always praise so highly, I almost always end up with android op system on top, when deep sleeping.. and I sleep myself for at least 12 hours a night/day .. so it's a pretty big change.. it did however go downhill on second dori deep sleep.. and I hope it will change to a more stable state soon, since it's insanely good for a really moderate users!..(when it works)
