PS: in cm9 recovery for scrolling use vol butt'ns and for selection use pwr button since home butt will not work

People, SiyahKernel v3.2 is up.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] DanielDPT:
Uhhh very nice!

But i remmber in 1.7 the icons in the bottum was black and grey (nice) But now they have all the colours :/

Eney ideas?

Regards Daniel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Fenom186:
Thanks for the heads up! :)

Just did a quick twitter search for siyahkernel and found this tweeter that only tweets about the siyah updates https://twitter.com/#!/bkrqqt

could be useful if you're on twitter a lot.

Just installed siyahkernel v3.2, no problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uscool:
Hi, guyz im new to this, i installed this rom and it was my first ever go on installing a custom rom and very pleased with it,

also for SiyahKernel v3.2, no need to do whole rom flash again ? just flash SiyahKernel v3.2 simply via CWM, all settings will be same ?

also what is a Kernel , is it like new drivers underneath so runs better etc ?

im still learning but learning fast with this great site and its users :D

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:

My Wi-Fi is always on, so it drains the battery. How can I set it up to go into the "asleep" mode? I selected "keep wi-fi" when "plugged in". And still, it is on 24/7
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
No. If you would flash the rom again afterwards the kernel that comes with the rom would overwrite your new one again. so just install the kernel.

A kernel is the layer between your hardware and your OS. It handles low level stuff. Yes it's kind of a driver update.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uscool:
Hi, thanks, i meant the colour is off, it just clashes very bad, the black background, with the text, rest emails are fine, just from paypal and ebay,

Thanks

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Thanks for that, as i can see this kernel you can set cpu at idle at 100mhz so should improve battery life.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Remember to reboot into recovery after installing the kernel, and you get to setup the kernel specific settings

[Galaxy S II Android Development] uscool:
Hi, thanks cant you do it from menu , i can see performance, where you can set cpu within rom, at the moment lowest is 200mhz, wouldnt 100mhz option be there once flashed new kernel ? also i hear not much battery saved from 200mhz to 100mhz as the voltage stays the same ? is that right ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
Yes all correct.

whats the problem m8, cant buy apps?

try this link here and follow the steps:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25792997&postcount=29853

Please look at the FAQ on the OP and there are solutions to different problems encountered.:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elinho:
So this question have maybe been asked to many times, i installed the rom but got a crazy theme, am i the only one? :/ how to i restore to normal skin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] astrogambit78:
what do you mean crazy theme ?

if you installed v.1.8.1 and you mean the pitch black apps, it comes with the ROM

you can try the default theme apps + polaris.

see the FAQ at the OP there are the links and there are also flashable background settings Mods and background dialer Mods via recovery (created by the wonderful people of this community) and bootanimations as well.

happy flashing:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
With extweaks ( free from the market) you can setup how many steps you want it to scale, and every setting possible almost( just downloaded 3.2 myself, and were just having a look at it, but it seems the 18 steps still is there, even tho it said 100mhz would be minimum )

I'm gonna check out this new 3.2 and be back later!

Best Battery

Hi, Can anyone suggest a kernel with best battery performance to go with this rom (1.8.1)? Siyah/Thoravukk? Which version?

By the way, I have been using Westcrip's Roms since 9.6 and this is my first post. I've been reading the posts almost everyday and you guys are really great and helpful.. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
for poweramp delete com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1.odex file in data/app
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vrekeno:
When connected to my car's bluetooth, the screen keeps turning on and off.

It remains on for a couple of seconds (as supposed), then turns off, then a few seconds later, turns back on, and so on and on...

Only happens when connected to Bluetooth.

Once I stop my car, the screen keeps turning on.

Any idea what's causing this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
best battery life depends upon how u use ur phone. i don't use thoravukk so i can't tell about that so i will say stick to cm9 kernel or flash latest siyah kernel and give atleast 2-3 cycles to judge the battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GusseG:
New user to Resurrection Remix ics and loving AOKP so far!

My problem: When recieving a sms/email/call while headphones are plugged in the music volumes mutes, while the notification sound is playing, but the volume doesn't return to my original volume level setting.

Do you guys know of a fix for this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] astrogambit78:
Aside from stock CM9 which has good battery:)

i used thoravukk v.2.48, not liked it that much unlike previous versions like 2.21 and 2.30 which are better for me.

but you can try the latest version of thoravukk Ver.2.55

Now im on Siyah V3.2rc1 and its pretty good compared to the previous that i tried and i dont change settings from Extweaks, i leave it as it be;)

it really depends on your usage dude you can try different kernels and let it rest for a day or 2 so you can compare it and see the differences.

Happy flashing dude:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
it is aokp rom bug.to fix it just press volume button and it should be normal.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
Awsome clean up on the main post! GJ West its much easier to follow now hehe!

I have one problem maybe somebody can fix it for me, when ever i take a screenshot with the power menu shortcut i can view the pics on my phone but when i transfer them on a computer it says they are corrupt or something like that. All the ones i took without AOKP work fine. So is it a AOKP bug??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
copy that pic to another location and connect to pc then u should be able to see it from new location.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
I customized the dialer and settings backgrounds to my liking if anybody is interested here is how they look!

All i did was take the original AOKP background and make it a bit darker and added the lines on the dialer!

The original pics look way nicer, the quality of the pics attached sucks!

When I use a file explorer I can see everything.

I flashed wanam stock rooted rom as 2nd rom. But it worked after that.

Wes bro big up to you mate and as you told me you have made me happy. I've tried the rest but now I am using the best. Rom is fast and fluid. Choice of launchers at start up and the new modded kernel seems to even provide better graphics rendering. Like the extended options on drop down menu and the Samsung original wallpaper. We need to some guys to theme this so hopefully we get some themers in here. Thanks again bro

Hi Westcrip , thnx for the great rom and work u doin. I have a slight issue where the messagin app FC's as soon as i try to open a message as well as contacts if I try to delete a contact.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] k1000716:
Just a quick point for those posting faults (assuming you've already searched the thread and read the first few posts) - can you please state what version you're running?

I know it's a safe assumption that you're probably running the latest version, but that's not always the case. I'm still running v7.3 (amazingly stable for me - nice work Westcrip!) and had no plans on upgrading until I saw the post announcing XXLP6 based v8.1.

I need my rom flashing fix for the week! ;)

Just a thought.

Nope. From memory the issue is that there are no sources yet for custom ICS kernels, just stock (not rooted), CM9 (maybe?) and cf-root.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] joyo22:
Hey man. With all due respect, I think you should ease up on the way you reply to every comment from noobs. I mean, not even westcrip, the OP, does what you are doing all the time. You are not the owner of the forum and it's not ok to "kick out" people just because they make "stupid" questions. It's all about learning, but somehow you might be making people go away. Just try to be kind and ignore what's not relevant. And you REALLY should stop quoting almost every single post on the thread. People can see you as a "stalker".

PS: we all know about your contributions but, frankly, your responses are often quite annoying.

Peace.

Black theme saves battery?

Just a quick thought, because of the super amoled + screen that doesn't turn on the pixels when displaying black, does this save battery? or is it negligible?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
As in all files.. do you mean system files and the likes? They are not to be seen from a computer, I guess, since you have no rootaccess from computer.

(correct me if I'm wrong, I've been on phone support with a fool, about how to unpack a .rar file!! and how to install a program!! It took me an hour, and before that I were phone support to my senile grandma, about how to set up her radio!! So I'm a bit beat up in my mind!)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
don't know about that mate. i use stock superuser.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
It saves some battery at least..depending on how much screen time you have, so the black theme is not just cool :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elinho:
Very nice! But how did you get it black? :O
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
as far as i know black and red are the colors which saves some battery for super amoled screen.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Fenom186:
Yeah this is what I'm thinking, the black theme does have the added bonus of the battery life :) although its probably not very much.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
what do u mean by black? don't u have same as my screenshot?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elinho:
This is mine
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
try deleting existing one and copying again with same permission then reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elinho:
will try :)

Unable to change Recents for Home long press

Hey guys! Just started using this ROM a couple of days ago and there is so much to tweak I've been like a kid in a toy store. I've been running CheckROM since I got my SGS 2 but decided to take the leap to ICS finally..

Ok, the only thing I haven't been able to resolve is a situation with the long press option for the Home key... no matter what I do, no matter what option I choose, no matter how many times I reboot, the long press on the HOME key only wants to view Recent apps, and what I really wanna do is assign it a custom app to launch.

Of course I have looked through the thread but I haven't been able to find any answers to my specific question.

Thanks for any help in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elinho:
That did it! Thanks man! King! <3

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Settings --> Rom Control --> General UI --> Long press home!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
u can set that on apex settings>behavior settings>home key action.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
>settings>rom control>general ui>longpress home action.

But you'll really want it to show recents tho.. after a while it's second nature to use it to swipe apps away that way!

maybe you want to assign the custom app to the lockscreen menu instead?

Or the sliding menu of the apex?

Battery boot loop

hey guys,

Already did a little search, but no solution yet. I'm on Resurrection 1.6 and everything was just smooth 'n perfect. Untill yesterday - I went to bed and hooked my phone up to charge at night.

But when I woke up this morning and disconnected it from the charger, the battery icon said it still was charging. At first I did a reboot. It rebooted okay, but the icon still show the charging symbol. Pretty annoying.

Then I tried to just shut it off and do a fresh restart, but I wish I never did, 'cause since then I'm in a battery boot loop: it won't boot and it only shows a charging symbol, but it's not on a charger!

I tried to go into recovery mode by pushing vol-up + home + power, but that doesn't work.

Somebody knows what to do? Really desperate here... :(

Re:ICS Clock

Does anyone know where I could find the ICS clock that incorporates the stopwatch and timer functions that works on this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
Don't think it can be used now because that was a Samsung app, but if you want a better timer and stopwatch:

StopWatch & Timer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.stopwatch&hl=en
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tigiy:
I mean normal files/maps. Like where i put my music and stuff.

Thanks but multi mount works great. I will use that instead of MTP.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cdzo72:
Already tried that

It doesn't have an option for LONG PRESS

The app I want to assign to the long press is called TaskXP which is a multitasker and that will let me pick apps I have plans in its menu whether they have been previously launched or not....

So there is no fix for this? It's going to display recent apps no matter what I do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EARNEST_EU:
This is frustrating. Anything of the stock functionality I need, I have to install some 3rd party app with all these custom ROMs...I just don't get it. I need a notification - install a battery-related app. I need my wi-fi go to sleep - install another app. Some files are of 0b size when I connect via MTP.

I like the interface and look of this ROM, but, frankly, now I am waiting for an official 4.0.4 release, so some bugs, which I found in the initial ICS version, can be fixed. As soon as an official 4.0.4 is released by Samsung, and, assuming the bugs are covered, I am switching back to the stock.

It sucks, since I will be sacrificing an amazing look and feel of RR, but stability and functionality would not be compromised, at least. :( I appreciate the work done by the team, but as far as it goes, lots of things do not work well. And now I understand why it takes time for Samsung to release good quality firmware.

Apart from that. Judging from the pics, how would you rate battery consumption?
