[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vreestyle:
Hey Hazwheel, How U Doin' mate?

For al those having problems please look @ the FAQ first.

Full Wipe = Format everything! (Except ext-SD of course).

Not just wipe data/factory reset, FORMAT.

Then install the rom.

If you want the calculator; Flash v1.6 first then 1.7 right over it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] exynoss:
Any suggestions
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RealPariah:
For me the DSP works nicely, though I do use winamp pro when I want more presets or just want it to affect music only and not everything playing via speaker (or headset).

Winamp free is awesome but only pro has equalizer enabled (and for $5 psht just pay the man :) )

In ICS you download font apk you want install like any other app then settings font or settings input then font tap the one in list you want.

ROM manager had whole section of free ICS fonts that work with any ICS ROM. It is not like GB no need to flash in recovery or theme them in just change font via settings as you want (after installing)

depends on your usage and preferences. Try each one (keep nandroid backup handy just in case).

Also keep in mind it can take up to several days for a kernel to fully settle in to your device and usage patterns and give best possible battery life.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Is it me or are there still that many little issues in 1.7? I read the forum every day so I can keep up-to-date with the information and feedback, but ever since the switch was made to AOKP I haven't had a single stable install on my phone. I've tried every version that came out so far, but I always find myself returning to 1.1 with Siyah (always the latest stable version). What is so very different that makes AOKP so "buggy" to work with? I kinda do want to upgrade to 4.0.4, but not if it comes with this many (little) issues. It almost never gives me the stability and battery life I have with 1.1. I just don't experience it as an upgrade, but more a downgrade. I'm thinking that maybe the switch to AOPK was a bad move, but I also read the many positive experiences here and that always makes me install the latest release when it comes out.

Regardless of those mixed feelings, 1.1 has still been the best experience I've had on my SGS2, so I'm totally loving this ROM.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
I think each one have different experiences, many people solved his "bugs" with a simple full wipe or fix permissions, personally i don't have any trouble, maybe the reason it's the way that i use my phone i don't know, but i see that the most users are very happy with the change

You make a full wipe when install?

Go to Settings - ROM control - Navigation bar

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I always do a full wipe and a format to make sure I have no "left-overs" from my previous install, so that can't be the problem.

On the other hand I know it takes time to create perfection, and it took a while to get the ROM to how stable 1.1 was/is for me, so I'm very sure this path will lead to the same awesomeness sooner or later. So I will keep on trying and testing new versions as soon as they come out. I really appreciate the time being spend to make this ROM. Great work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] a5ian300zx:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i did full wipe/factory reset -> install rom -> install blac theme -> wipe dalvik cache -> reboot

Hi folks,

Do you guys have some difficulties in adjusting the area that is to be used for the lock screen wallpaper?

It appears to me that there is some sort of per-set locked ratio of the selection area where you can’t adjust it freely to fit the entire area of the picture

So it seems even though you do have a picture with suitable size for the lock screen, you can’t select the full picture (can only crop), which makes the quality of the lock screen pic horrible….

any clue?

thanks

FYI, I seem to be getting the best battery life with SiyahKernel 3.1RC6. All the others suck juice like hell.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Bro you could probably add to the FAQ regarding Phone.apk force closing when running 180dpi.

The solution for me was to set the DPI to 184 (custom).

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

another one to add in the FAQ is for those with GPS problems. (Rare but can still happen)

1. Go to this site and look for your country http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@

2. Open root explorer and go to system/etc

3. mount r/rw (button on the upper right)

4. open gps.conf in text editor (long press and scroll down)

5. in the first line, NTP_SERVER=xxxx.pool.ntp.org <--- replace whatever is in xxxx with your country. If for instance your country isn't listed or has too few servers (i.e Philippines), just select the region (asia/europe/oceania...). So for me, it comes out as NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org

6. Menu - save&exit.

7. You can delete the gps.conf.bak (BACKUP) file that the system makes but you can also keep it just in case something goes wrong.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingers5:
Sorry mate. Battery life depends mainly on usage. In standby consumption is less than others but in use it varies depending on what I am doing. Its very hard to comment on drain when using phone. My best battery life was using this modem. I also used it with lp2 kernel not kp8 which comes with rom. Kp8 might have better 3g for most but I have not had any 3g problems. Lp2 cf root plus kp1 modem equals better battery for me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingers5:
I'd suggest wiping cache and dalvik then flash modem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonski89:
Glad to hear that my man, will try to download lp2 kernel as well... but i'll stick with this setup for now to check how long will this kernel last me to better compare... apparently, with the original modem installed, i got like 1 hr standby will bring my battery down 10%-15% so will monitor kp1 if it will give me more juice... :D then check the lp2 kernel if that would give me even more juice. :D

Hi,

first of all westcrip and all the guys who assisted him (if ther are any) you are legendary, this ROM is very good and i use it daily.

ofcourse cuz sammy is taking its time to release their official firmwares for sgs2 ics i expected some bugs, but this one i reckon is the most stable one, didnt bother trying any other roms.

ill just make a short lits of the bugs ive run into:

1. dialer is slow, doesnt retrieve number quickly from contacts

2. some FC, not many but i noticed its mostly with core apps (i.e. browser, camera, dialer, contacts)

3. signal bars dont move, always shows full.

4. it might not be true, but i feel the batt consumption is higher compared to my former 2.3.5 KI4 version.

Honestly i really cant wait for Sammy to release firmwares! cuz i know for sure the guys here will provide better UI than Touchwiz's ICS version :)

Quick Qs,

1. does VPN work in this version?

2. i noticed that i cant log into Https encrypted sites (i.e. banking sites) anyone has that issue?

cheers,
