I made a test now. If you go straight from 1.5 to 1.7 without fullwipe (only wipe cache/dalvik) the long press to kill function is still there but doesnt work correct (app isnt killed at all, but you can see a popup say killed), but if you make a full wipe its removed.

EDIT: after i flashed back to my backup the popup still show app killed after long press but the option doesent exist in romcontrol furthermore. before my test i see the option after flashing to 1.7

i think its the same version. you can use it if you try another kernel and want flash back to stock :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrachni:
I want to know also,do we need to install this kernel or that is the same stock kernel from v1.7?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Duggie:
Thanks sharp87 - I tried that but it didn't fix the problem even after reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leongzxc:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
Apologies before hand as I misunderstood your post :) PM sent
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrachni:
I see :) But he answered "I THINK..." :)

You`ll agree that I THINK is not the same as IT IS or IT`s THE SAME KERNEL :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leongzxc:
"I THINK" so too :D:D:D

and his answer is acceptable :).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrachni:

if someone have the long press to kill function/popup after update to 1.7 you cant disable it from rom control, but it can be easily removed (it isnt working at all, only the popup).

To remove the broken function:

-flash rom-control-disable.zip (its the version from 1.5) and reboot (http://www.file-upload.net/download-4306812/rom-control-disable.zip.html)

-go to rom control/general-ui and deactivate "long-press-to-kill"

-flash rom-control-1.7 (restore version from 1.7) and reboot (http://www.file-upload.net/download-4306814/rom-control-1.7.zip.html)

-done

After my last comment there was no replies from task. Sorry but those replies seem a little bit cryptic and suspect to me.

I would like to apologise to anybody I might have disturbed or upset?

However I am not at all being disrespectful. In fact I would never have said anything out of the ordinary until I read tasks replies to my question.

I originally found tasks thread after doing a Google search of "B34 fixed hold back button to kill app"

I went to task for help... I will let you make your mind up whether or not he did help.

Before people start pressing "thanks" on other statements *making me look bad* please know exactly what happened and why I reacted the way I did.

In conclusion. I still love this ROM and will continue to use it. If I had a SGH-I777 I would use tasks ROM. I have nothing against either developer and appreciate their work. From now on I will read the OP clearly to make sure this ROM is in fact based on another port of AOKP, not actually completely ported by westcrip from the AOKP sources alone. Which for some reason I believed he did as there are plenty of other AOKP based ROMs on this forum I will not mention that have been.

Thank you

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spyr0s:
Same problem here, no wifi at home and several other places. The 11 channels are being used in US, looks like task650 gave us another bug :D

Never had this problem with any of the roms i've used and it's not only this. First i couldn't even install the rom and i had to search through pages to find out that you need to flash a special kernel first, then flash, then proceed, after i managed to flash no wifi and...back to CM9 nandroid.

Big hassle to just install a rom and dissapointment because the roms has good look but there are many hassles that give bad experience.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GLunPy:
First time i have a problem updating.. And dont tell me "Full wipe and try again" Thats not a solution! >_<

For some reason battery life in 1.7 seems to be worse than 1.6. Battery keeps draining, even though CPU spy reports the device going into deep sleep.

Anyone else experiencing this? No idea if this is the result of a no-wipe installation but then again, since this one supported it, I went for it.

Problem Installing 1.7 through CWM

Hello,

I have a problem installing 1.7 over CWM. Trying to install the zip, I got assert failed message and finally, the installation is aborted with message "Status 7".

I didn't have this problem till version 1.5 If I my memory serves me right.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance

if ur using a diff kernel then the problem of flashing v1.7 arises hence flash cm9 kernel from OP first and then try flashing the rom it will be ok:)

indeed, I use a different kernel but based on CM9 sources. Anyway, I will flash CM9 kernel and try again.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] M3th0s:
In layman's terms, how do a few charging cycles help with battery life?

When I updated from 1.5 to 1.6, battery life remained more or less the same, actually seeming better straight away after the update. That was an immediate effect, no something that only happened after a few recharge cycles.

I am just curious and in no way having a go at your reply:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:
well i have shared the same based on my previous experience of batt life jumping from one ver 2 the other some times it remains the same and sometimes it takes a cpl of recharge to settle down its really weird electronics ma8:)

thanks in advance, so i hope that developers will add some opinion for chanage channel, there was same problem with cynogenmod7 on my old HTC phone, but if you go to advenced settings there you can choose from 8/11/ or 14 channels, and than working all good

i like development work but this issue stoped me at work , i cannot surf thru internet :D

Staying on 7.3 for now as I can't do without Swype (unless someone has some feedback on how the Swype beta works on 7.4). This is running better than the stock GB.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

Most likely, but one thing I've noticed about almost every version of this ROM, is that westcrip focuses on speed and reliability. In this last version he even removed Swype and the Samsung apps as it improves responsiveness or reduces crashes. And in some cases this means not including features that other ROM's do include.

It's also the fastest ICS ROM out right now. There's a very good reason for that ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrnovanova:
I did too at first and I went to settings/ display/ calibration. Did the horizontal calibration and it worked fine afterwards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brojoe11:
Great job el-liberator. I just flashed the theme you created. Looks great. I look forward to more creative ideas. Way to go.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sunnylovesalman:
I have Implemented this ROM last night and had kept a very good watch over all aspects.

bY fAR THIS ONE JUST CAUSED ME oNE rEBOOT, WHILE mUSIC SCANNING.

And this is just the complete ICS you can have for your Galaxy S2.

Very well compiled. not even one reboot since the first one.

Data is awesome with no flaws.

Facebook, G+, Gmail, Mail, Gtalk, G+ Messenger, MP3 downloader, works like a charm. Fully chatted and used for 14 hours till now and no problems.

Battery is a bit of issue but with more development , I guess that can be brought to solution too. But still the battery performance is quite good or rather very good compared to all other ICS rom available here.

Camera and Video Camera work like a charm.

Gallery is super awesome now with no FC .

Video Playback time is quite good, as I ran 18 videos worth 5+ minutes each to minimise my battery from 82% to 63% . So thats really great.

Nova Launcher is again great and themeing has been good enough . So thats again a great thing, just the volume indicators (if round) had been super awesome., which I guess would be a matter of a few seconds for the Developer to change.

Task Bar hiding works like a charm.

Lock screen wallpaper can be modified, but what I miss is the Screen animation for the ICS developed for Samsung Galaxy S I9000, where when the lock icon is pressed, a ray keeps gyrating towards the end of the screen as wave signals , that would have made this ROM picture perfect.

IRIS embedded is good, just it didnt sound to me , but just typed and answered is good enough for SIRI replacement, a big thums up.

Youtube has been superfast as well as browsing speed.

Widgets panel is another charm, with all widgets working perfectly.

Market works superbb, all my Applications got auto updated and installed within 10 minutes of Installation of this ROM and that too over data connection(NO WIFI).

Maps checked and working for India very well.

On an overall rating this ROM is a 9.9/10 deserver and HATS Off to the Developer for making it perfect to the last limit.

TRY THIS COS YOU CAN NEVER GET ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS IF YOU LOVE AND WANT TO HAVE ICS on your precious Galaxy S 2.

MMS issues ?

For anyone having issues with MMS (sending or receiving)....

Do you use Handcent for SMS ?

At some point when moving to Ressurection did you wipe and then restore Handcent from a backup ?

If so, you have the same issue as I experienced and checking/resetting your carriers APN settings wont help...instead go into Settings>App Manager and Force Close Handcent followed by clearing Handcent app data (your texts wont disappear, just the app settings). Worked like a charm for me.

This *may* also work for the stock messaging app, but I think the MMS issues are restricted to Handcent users.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gambit333:
I had the same issue, for that you need to go to settings >> more>>mobile networks >> access point names >> choose the appropriate mms settings from your provided.

Don't worry this will not affect your 3g settings.

Coming from a stockish ROM (NEAT w/ ICS Domination theme), I must say this version of RR (v1.7) is really impressive. It looks great and is quite a bit faster than my previous combo. However, I do have a couple of minor issues. Battery life isn't as good (about 14-16 hours with moderate use), and I don't like the scrolling. I understand a new kernel may fix these issues.

From what I have read, the ROM won't install unless on a CM9/stock kernel, so the "right" kernel seems to matter. What are the downsides to flashing a different kernel (Siyah, Phenomenal, SpeedMOD, etc)? Thanks in advance for the advice and input!! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eelviny:
Really cool rom but I found that when I was upgrading from 1.5 to 1.7 (full wipe) siyah kernel threw up an error about build.props (can't remember exactly)

Fixed it by flashing the cm9 kernel supplied and it installed fine :)

And also its stupid that the calculator went. He released 1.6, got comments about no calc, then released 1.7 on the same day STILL with no calculator... Thank god I had a backup of it :D

EDIT

Just noticed now that the options to change the behaviour of long pressing the home and back buttons have gone! Can't find them anywhere! Any workaround for this?
