Just flashed the new 8.1 and I think I will definitely stick with it with no going back to GB. Build feels so much better. Can't wait for new updates!!

+1 Awesome work WESTCRIP! I have gotta say this is probably the best ICS rom out there. Don't even bother waiting for CM9 guys.. They are taking their time.. Flash WestCrip!!

I just connected my phone via USB to my PC, it gets recognized as GT-I9100, but when opening it, all i get i a bunch of empty folders that are all named "UnknownObjectXXX" where XXX is a number like 10, 20, 110...

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] on2a:
Yep I had this issue also. Nothing to do with the rom and in my case they had to replace the screen. Try cleaning the USB port out but if that doesn't work you may need to send it for repair. Its a well known flaw in SG2 hardware!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anayalater75:
Awsome ROM, will install it tonight, excited :D....just a few Q's though:--

1)Does the usb host mode work ??

2)I'm moving to this ROM from Checkrom Revo v4. Now, I've bought some apps that i don't want to lose...So is there any way that i can get all apps back after FULL Wipe?

Dialer ROM V8.1 NEW XXLP6 4.0.3 Contacts.

Hello,

ROM V8.1 NEW XXLP6 4.0.3 is working Great.:)

Only one thing in the dialer contacts are not showing up .

When pressing numbers.:rolleyes:

I believe it's called T9 dialer. It is turned on in settings.

I use know another dialer app (touchpal dialer) from the market and it is working in this one.

Can anyone fix this.

Eric.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
don't think this is an easy task. as far as I know it doesn't work because of porting AOSP dialer/contacts in to sammy ROM. with in that process somehow it was too hard or impossible to get T9 working.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] k1000716:
1) No. At least, not for me.

2) Titanium Backup. Awesome app. Here's a thread with tips if you've not used it before. Just remember to install them one at a time as some apps do not play nicely with ics...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaRkNeZRaVer:
Hey guys I love this rom, but i cannot get any mobile data. I'm using a danish provider. It's possible to make calls receive and send text messages, but I cannot get any connection to data. Already set apn manually, but nothing changed. Anybody a solution? I'm on resurrection 8.1.

Edit: I also get random reboot when I am trying to restore in titanium backup. Also I get a reboot when looking for network operators.

@Analyalator75

You're not loosing apps you bought, they are stored in your google account. So the only thing you have to do, is connection to your "old" account again and then you can redownload them under the myapps tap in market.

[edit]

Problem solved just needed the correct apn. Dumb mistake ;)

But battery drains pretty fast with data turned on.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] skilli:
At the moment I'm still on it CM7.1. I've tried a few versions ICS, unfortunately, the 8.1 works for me poorly.

- Wipe all

- Zip installed

- LANGUAGE PACKAGE apk moved

- Full Wipe

The problem is it freezes again and again. WhatsApp it remains hanging in the initialize. Exchange went but everything was a little slow.

Solutions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BobPowers:
1: many say that cm9 gives better battery life. I personally found siyah works well, and had a good battery life too.

2: when you long press home key you get a menu up of recent apps... Just slide them off screen and they are closed

3: I haven't got a clue how they make the battery hold so long.... Some are using 2000mah batteries.... Maybe others just have newer (and therefore fresher), batteries than ours?

Hope that answers your questions

CWM problem

Using siyah I installed a second rom Pure ics v7.3.1, but after installing I went back into cwm and received these errors

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Any ideas whats happened? i can still boot into both roms no problem

:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
In extweaks, what number of CPU count steps do you have?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Galactus:
its set to 5. 200-500-800-1000-1200. I'm thinking it could be a bad kernel flash. Just confused as to why flashing a different kernel didn't help. Never had this issue with 1.8.1. The kernel I tried was fluxi (Got everything set up the way I liked beforehand)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yusufjee:
I have the same question as before.

Is it not possible to port the STOCK SAMSUNG CAMERA in this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Galactus:
I don't think so. BTW gabowinter, there is a broken link under the "« I can't see the images / music from my external SD [emmc] ¿What can i do?" section
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
If you reflash the kernel, reboot into recovery after that, and go to kernel specific settings, and wipe extweaks and init.d scripts, and set it to battery, then reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RiTCHiE007:
And you get the same awnser as before. No it needs a other framwork to work. So use this one or go on a samsung rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ibrahimz91:
1- guys how to make battery life last longer on sayah kernel that came with this rom ?

2- if it cant last as long as the CM9 Kernel could someone plz give me the link for it and how to flash it .

3- i asked about this many times but no one answered me, my wifi turns on by itslef when i turn it off !! and this consumes much battery life especially when im sleeping :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PONKiE:
Also, when I go into android Settings -> Storage my external SD card shows as 'USB storage'. My "internal storage" is shown as an unmountable SD card.

Surely that can't be right, or am I just getting confused here :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BobPowers:
Maybe it is an idea to pit in the faq that if your thumbnails in gallery are all messed up, just delete application data under app management and restart gallery. I had this problem.... And some others too.

Also many have Ben looking for a call recorder for AOKP.. Someone found one some pages back called Personal voice and call recorder available from play store.

Thanks for your great support on this rom.... Wes done a good job this time for sure....

Are all video formats playing on 1.9?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Give it a few days at least.. new rom and new kernel needs to settle for a few charging cycles, I lost half by battery in 5 hours yesterday

for cm9 kernel check gabos mirrors for 1.81 (in my sig)

3. no idea .. maybe they should've tested it for 3 more days ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yeah, various formats work fine for me. Just use MX Video Player, it can play pretty much any file.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cdzo72:
ok guys I saw this question asked a couple of days ago but haven't seen a reply, please forgive me if it's been answered, but I'm having the problem that on each reboot I get the message

I have some .MP4 that were played in all players above.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Locky Loki:
Pegasusq and Homescreen matter

Pegasusq seems to be working nicely and saves lots of battery during sleep.

And I really like the toggle on data and wifi turning grey during sleeps and automatically turning back to blue when reconnected!

One problem I still have is, I can't rotate my home screen, is that Apex Launcher's problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
It means system is building cache. Sometimes it happens when u install some mods which clears cache,dalvik cache. Although it's frustrating but there is nothing to worry about.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Locky Loki:
MX Player is quite nice.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
>settings>romcontrol>startup tweaks> clear cache on each boot maybe checked?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
to rotate home screen goto apex settings->behavior settings->screen orientation

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Btw, someone it's asking for the boot sound, for enable it you just need rename any mp3 to boot_audio.mp3 and place it on the path system/media, after that the setting on ROM Control - Visual Changes that refers to the boot sound be enabled

didn't it work to >settings>devicesettings>sensors> and uncheck the enable key backlight?

Disable keys backlight from settings->device settings->sensors and also disable led timeout in extweaks app.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
No mate, no are that option, you need to edit some system files to do it

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hazwheel:
ok, Overclocking would potentially make the phone hotter, and Undervolting too far can cause SOD (sleep of death) check in settings/rom control/ performance. if max cpu is above 1200, you are overclocking

Did you set the permissions to rw r r

and to be sure, in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:
set dpi to 192 and check;)

no i try wiping, did not state to do so but i guess it is best practice most time

cheers pigmachine

I cleared the caches and did fix permission just out of habit.. and it works for me

This is very strange i fixed permissions and wiped and still did not work so switched back to original Phone.apk to try a different dpi but just thought i would try make a call and it is all working..........i don't know maybe i got all mixed around with the apks and used the wrong one?? haha oh well it seems to be working now :D:D

Just wanted to say that upgrade went smoothly and everything is working fine.

Battery life even seems to have improved!

Still no audio over bluetooth though, but it seems it affects a lot of people with various ROMs.

This is killing me though, I really need this feature =(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iqzy:
Battery life is awful at present. Was amazing on the previous one. I'll give it a couple of days since the battery needs to adjust to the Rom through various cycles.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 3LK_89:
Siyah is poor. Battery life is terrible. Managed a day and half on 1.8 before hitting 14% charge warning. Introduce siyah and I'm recharging every four hours.

I bet its eating my battery having to display the battery % going down quicker than the titanic.

Rom is fantastic, kernel is terrible, unless there's some way to get rid of the battery drain I think I'll surrender bln and install another kernel which can offer battery life greater than 20% of a day.

Great work on the rom west, poor choice on the kernel tho mate. Just my opinion.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
http://www.mediafire.com/?oldmd98mq9o8d72 <- there is the phone.apk I use (same as in gabos link I guess, (since i got it from him)) make a sub directory in your sdcard/downloads like /newphone and put it in there. Goto the /system/app/ and rename phone.apk to something you remember, then go back to /newphone and copy phone.apk and put it in /system/app/ set permissions to rw r r , reboot to recovery and wipe the cashes and fix permissions (you need a rootable explorer like root explorer (best but not free) or ES file explorer (free and really good too, but you have to set the root permissions in settings)

It can't go wrong! :D

Hey guys.. m having a problem after installing 1.9... my wifi is not working... cant turn it on..

I've used siyah before. Had it for few weeks previous time round. Getting 3 hours use of surfing and texting tops. If anything its got worse. Between the first post you quoted me on and this one I've lost 12%. Its a joke really. I know all the mod at your own risk, and I understand Modding can sometimes give negative results. This is a hyper negative result battery wise. Iv got hit keys tho, missed them beutys slightly.

I am having issues with 1.9, so going back to 1.8.1.

Random screen locks when doing stuff on the phone, random reboots, phone.apk fc's, music just dies after about 10minutes.

plus I could not get the tablet ui to work after loads of attempts to flash it following all the suggestions posted earlier.

I have factory reset, flashed following instructions in the faq, tried downloading the ROM again and following the steps again.

1.8.1 was extremely stable for me.

You can use it (1.8.1), meanwhile some other solution was given here, because that are not general issues, the suggestions are make the full wipe, the phone.apk it's solved on the FAQ, about the Tablet Mode wes it's working right now on something...it's very annoying, sorry mate

I'm talk with wes and it's looking for what could be the cause of this because it's not present for all the users, meanwhile try checking your APN settings if everything it's ok, if you need some urgency then restore a previous version at least meanwhile...
