Hey Gabo, it's not that I don't agree with you, but seriously this thread hasn't been a development thread for a really long time; it is a support thread for lazy users who prefer to post questions like "how do you disable boot animation?" instead of taking a few minutes to go through all the ROMs options after an upgrade. And people making statements like "battery life on this ROM sux" without even bothering to add some information that will actually let someone help them. And of course the ones who never bother to search the thread or read a couple of pages back to see if the same question was already answered, probably 10 times.

The solution is not to make another post on page 7052 which will only be read by the few users who actually follow the thread (and most likely those are the users that already know and agree with what you say). The lazy noobsters will never read your post because they are already on page 7053! The best solution is probably to just admit defeat and accept the fact that this is now a support thread. And you are not innocent by the way, you spoon-feed users on this thread all the time, and thus directly support their behavior. I just happen to think that it is nice of you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noed:
Not necessary.

But it's a good idea to remove /system/app/Calendar.apk if you will use only the new one... I did remove without a problem, but I use "Business Calendar" app from play store instead.

It depend of your Kernel, your Baseband, your apps and your usage (data, wifi, games ...).

Make good settings with extweak and Juice defender,and I can stay 1d12h without charging.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
No, the solutions are two:

1. Report every noob that post here with useless and off topic posts or

2. Remember to them what they need to do like in my posts or even better, just make a search by "Read the FAQ" on this thread.

3. I'm spoon feeding users? Oh, then I need become harsh in here. Thanks for your observation.

So after who knows how many downloads and loading the Rom at least 6 different ways and going back to old versions I finally got on to 3.0.9. I was only able to do it from the update me app for some reason. All the other downloads never worked right. Now that I'm on it and running cm10 my battery life is amazing and I love to speed and new options. Only wish I have an led light. That's the only thing I miss about my s3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] luizlee86:
Tell me you didn't try to flash the SII version on your SIII... :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] edzamber:
Hello,

Does somebody know how can i desactivate gradually background light on, when I unlock lockscreen ? I'm using Siyha 4.1.5 and there is no option in extweak for that.

Maybe with an another kernel ? Or an option in Rom control ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] peterlimonade:
Assuming that you do own a S2 and not a S3, you can actually have a led light on your phone. It's called Back Light Notification or BLN and you can enable it in ExTweaks after you installed Dorimanx kernel :good:

SGS2 // RB 20121018 // Dorimanx 7.3

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

That's an interesting question, it does have a slight delay in returning to the previous brightness setting after the screen turns on. I think it's due to preventing capacity overload or something.

However, I think you'll have more luck requesting such a feature on your kernel thread (just remember that gokhanmoral is leaving us), maybe try another kernel.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] gilroy222:
If anyone here uses BLN( back light notification) can you tell me if its bad for battery or bad for your s2 back lights to be pulsating for 10 minutes straight?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] edzamber:
Thanks a lot for you reply.

I kwon that this section is not made to ask for that but what's happen with gokhanmoral ?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] blumsen:
I've been using BLN for about a year I think and as best as I can remember they are still just as bright (and obviously didn't burn out or anything). 10 minutes straight will not do anything to it. About battery life, they used to say that pulsing is better for your battery than a solid light. I don't believe that you will actually be able to measure a difference between them when only running it for 10 minutes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] luizlee86:
I don't think it is bad for the backlights be pulsating for long time...

But surely BLN drains battery. I mean, if you enable it, you will experience more battery usage than if you disable it.

In the beginning, it kept the phone awake, I remember there were some updates with "BLN without keeping the phone awake", but, honestly, I don't know how it is now...

But it is kernel related, not rom. :good:

He doesn't have a SII anymore.. I guess.. but he will release a v5.0 soon, check his blog. :victory:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] peterlimonade:
The irony... I believe one of the reasons he went to the Xperia T is because SGS2 users are too needy and won't search to find an answer to their questions. Anyway, look on both Siyah user and dev threads for more info. This weekend he'll make a final Siyah v5 and then it's so long and farewell.

EDIT: GM will take another look at BLN without wakelock btw. So that's cool.

And I do believe LEDs have a lifespan that extends far beyond that of our beloved phones, so if I were you I shouldn't worry about them blinking for ten minutes straight ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] shaxter:
i did a complete wipe nd then 3.0.9. Best Rom I've ever used with the exception that the phone freezes quit often. As if it is a 600Mhz single core phone. It happens very often randomly and then fixes itself. it takes 10 minutes to even open the keypad to type a message, Then it reboots randomly. I am using siyah kernal and have even changed the battery modes and even set it to 'dual core always on' in EXT tweaks as i thought it may be useful. Still the same. Is it just me or there are others out there as well? I remember reading a message on the forum about the same thing from someone while i was flashing the Rom. Please help!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ares05:
Try a different kernel, Dorimanx 5.89, and see if the problem subsides. A lot of people have had better results with the same when compared to Siyah. A completely lag and freeze free experience is coming shortly after the next AOKP release. This should work for the time being. Dorimanx is the recommended kernel, you can even see it even in the Aroma installer.

hey guys! loving this ROM!!! fast and stable! but 1 problem...how do i get the music app to search the SD CARD folder? I was able to do it using poweramp, but trial version is over and i dont want to pay that much money for a music app... now the gallery also wont show my pictures in SD card... did anyone have this problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tejasrm:
A media scan needs to be done. Try downloading a Media scan app from market such as 'Rescan Media' or 'Scan Media' and run it.

Or else reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] klukiyan:
Hi,

there have been so many sweet changes for the last several months, however bluetooth media still doesn't work.

If you connect bluetooth headphones, it works for phone calls but you cannot listen to music!!!!!!

Why it cannot be fixed for such a long time.

It keeps me on using ICS and being frustrated. :(

Another thing, is why the lockscreen doesn't have customizible octo-buttons. I don't need that google shortcut :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] peterlimonade:
Whoah, easy, RR 3.0.9. is still based on AOKP Build 4, the customizable lockscreen targets are part of AOKP only since the 20121017 nightly :cowboy:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] nk7:
What launcher?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DigitalWarS:
I'd love to...

Guys, as I wrote before, I have some suggestions to improve further more the daily usage.

1. On the dialer, the possibility to see the entire number,maybe on two rows or with contact name above and its number beyond (after you dial the first digits to have the contact appear, if you select it it'll show you only last 4 digits of the number, pretty frustrating as I often don't understand wether I selected the contact or it's my digited numbers)

2. In the notification bar, when receiving a message you have the "Call" back and "Reply" tabs, could we also have the "Delete" or "Cancel" button? As I often receive pubblicity via SMS I'd like to be able to delete the message directly from the notification bar

3. Some work on the volume levels, as it is a bit low

Hope other users will agree with me...

However, is it doable? I mean technically possible to have those implemented?

Thanks!

By the way, a great ROM... Thank you for your work...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nk7:
Hey mate - I assume you are using either Dorimanx or Siyah kernel. Have you fiddled with audio/volume settings in Extweaks? Is the volume low on speaker output or headphone output? I find things a bit loud sometimes to be honest.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DigitalWarS:
Thanks for your reply!

True, I'm on Siyah...Headphone output seems pretty low, in ExTweaks i have headphone amplifier set @ 3, max level!

However is not THAT low, but it can be improved (maybe implementation of Beats drivers will do?)

How about the ither things? What do you think?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nk7:
Lol no worries mate. Seems that another possible reason could be your headphones/iems that you are using. What is the given sensitivity/impedance? It may be that the headphone output is not powerful enough to properly drive the headphones/iems. IEMs I imagine are the more sensitive and easier to drive ones in most cases. Remember twice the volume means 10x the power required on headphone output. Not sure if the batteries on these devices can last.

I don't use headphones/iems on the SGS2 these days but I will try one of these days. I have got "Speaker Level" set at 10dB (10dB = twice as loud as normal)..

Have you tried the "Analog Headphone" amplification settings? Apparently you can increase the output even more for headphone out (in addition to the headphone amplifier setting at "3")...Default is 0dB. Try increasing that to 10dB or something. And don't hurt your ears. Also check volume settings on your audio player just to be sure.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] atif4ever:

noob question

these are instructions for installation :

1.- Wipe data / factory reset (mandatory if you coming from ICS version or another ROM)

2.- Install the Main ROM

3.- In AROMA installer select "Custom Installation"

4.- Choose depending of your taste

5.- When AROMA installer finish untick the "Reboot Now" option

6.- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced

7.- Wipe Dalvik Cache

8.- Fix Permissions

9.- Wipe Cache Partition

10.- Reboot

My noob question is, can I do this from CWM, i.e boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, install rom zip from sd card, then install aroma zip. then follow install from step3, would this be correct :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nk7:
Short answer - yes.

More information - Recovery is for all intents and purposes CWM recovery - some kernels mod these to have additional options like dual booting, different color text (etc) so it is a custom./modded recovery based on CWM. Someone correct me on the actual terminology. But....yes, just boot into recovery/cwm. All options are there...If you want a more detailed guide, just PM me.

Why don't you updaye to 2.7 it's ICS last version and very stable. Link in the seventh post.

You don't need to do a full wipe, but as explain many times it's recommend.

You won't loose settings or apps if you flash the rom.

Do a nandroid just to be safe.
