umm and how to change the battery icon? :-/ cant seem to find the option in V2.2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Change status bar from theme customization
[Galaxy S II Android Development] waiteck:
i see that the wallpaper and the lockscreen pics got changed.

how am I supposed to change the lockscreen background? I dont seem to be able to find any options to change that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hedayat7:
+1 for the boot image / boot logo ..

i prefer stock boot logo .. and yes , even if you go back to gingerbread rom, the boot logo is stuck there..

@ady , no need to change the boot logo .. just the boot animation is acceptable ..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
first create '

theme

' folder in data>system

go to theme>customize> lockscreen wallpaper
[Galaxy S II Android Development] waiteck:
i see. thanks! :)

but anyway, i tried applying the theme.

However, seems like the theme remains unchanged.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
ya themes dont works...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MR_EVIL:
thanks u r too fast buddy...

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

for me themes are working..just create a folder using root explorer in data/system....but im facing a unique problem of device getting frequently disconnected even if the usb cable is attached to it...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
ya know that....create folder and all, i already did that. But theme do not work 100%
[Galaxy S II Android Development] waiteck:
ah.. i see.. i did that as well. but it does not work.

is there any other ways to change the lock screen pic?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
I checked just now....it worked.

follow this again....

1. go to root explorer

2. then data>system> create folder theme.

3. Go to theme>Customize

4.scroll down, select LockScreen Wallpaper option
[Galaxy S II Android Development] waiteck:
ohh.. it worked now. thanks! my mistake was that i named the folder as themes instead of theme.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IamJAX:
there is an app on market by hellcat for changing galaxy s2 boot logo.

Changing boot logo is replacing a file in lfs partition. I just hate it when a ROM changes something that its not backed up.

FM radio

Great Rom, thanks!!!

Would it be possible to have FM radio working?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Good :-)...............
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
Anychance somebody knows how to fix the contact list/phonebook? I've tried Localeswitch which hasn't worked.

My numbers are showing as +44-1234-567890 and 01234-567890 so my text messages aren't displaying names for numbers saved begining 07 and phone calls arn't display names of numbers saved as +44.

I need them to be either +441234567890 and 01234567890 for texts and phone call for work. Other than this problem and the clam boot up this rom superb!

The clam isn't really a problem, I just don't like it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] exmatproton:
+1 ... i guess it is because the rom is english...i don't think there is any way to change it!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
That's the problem, I'm english and also from the UK so this should have been perfect for me but it doesn't work unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
Strange, mine show correctly!!

Also UK

TrOjAn
[Galaxy S II Android Development] exmatproton:
Ow...that's strange. Maybe it's because it's American English?? I really don't know, i am from the Netherlands... ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
Think i should full wipe and reinstall? It's driving me insane. I don't know anybodies number so I don't know who to answer and ignore haha.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] exmatproton:
What is even more strange, people who have saved my phonenumber see if i am calling. So it is one way only...strange!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
When you add numbers do you use 07**** or do you put +447*****

I always use the standard number 07 01 etc..

Terry
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
They're both ways. When I save a number I use 07**** but if I recieve a text if I save it then it's +44****. Think I'm going to no wipe flash failing that I will full wipe and install.

Edit: I've just changed all numbers to start +44*** and calls stop displaying names but texts display, then changed all contacts to 07*** and texts don't display names...... SOOOOOOOOOOOO annoying!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
I got no idea whats going on there mate.. sorry, all I can say is mine are showing fine on both texts and calls

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeancca:
widgets

All downloaded widgets disappeared from the screens after a reboot. Please help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
Strange.. put them back.. yes its a pain but hey.. you got time :)

TrOjAn
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeancca:
I have put them back. I'm asking for Ady to take a look at it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
Youll need to give a bit more info for help.. Im not seeing this and no one else has reported it so for ady to "fix" it is going to be hard if we dont know whats wrong.

TrOjAn
[Galaxy S II Android Development] datagutt:
Dude, stopping adding terrible bootanimations, wallpapers and changing apps. Trust me, if they want a ugly bootlogo or wallpaper they can add it themselves. Keep it stock.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
Must agree... Rom was starting to look great and then it took a nose dive, the rom needs more important stuff than a bootanimation, logo, shame.

TrOjAn
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eliazu:
+1, same here.

contacts in the Messenging Programs (miui messenging, SMSDroid etc.) are not shown correctly for me too.

its seems like the rom cant handle the +country (im from israel, so i have problems with +972).

edit: typo. changed the whole meaning of this post.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Sorry for that... I made it for a friend, and didn't realise I uploaded it, until he told me I did... So well, the next version won't have the bootlogo's and animations...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcoatlami:
not detected by computer

hi my computer don t detect my phone and droid explorer too.

something to do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Here's a file to change bootlogo back to Samsung Stock!

Enjoy!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeancca:
Man, there's nothing much to it. I did a reboot and all downloaded apps' widgets were gone. Internal apps' widgets like gmail, search and music were there, but the ones I got from market were not. Did a second reboot and the problem remained so I presented it in the thread.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
Ady any chance you could take a look at the contact list? It's playing hell with my text messages and phone calls. If I recieve a text and my numbers start 07**** then it doesn't display the name of sender but it my numbers are saved +44*** which is the UK code then it displays the name, same goes for phone calls but to display caller name my contacts need to be saved 07*** not +44****.

Any chance you can fix this please?

Thanks

Dave
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Actually, personally I have all numbers saved with +91 (India)... Infact, every number... Replace 0 with country codes... Its only helping you to organize your address book better... MIUI has bugs, I wouldn't want to delve into so deeply to fix since they keep coming with upgrades every week, and I'll have to port it everytime...

Give the MIUI Devs time to fix things... Its a beta... Am sure they have better things in store than what we are seeing right now...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
A. IT IS A BETA!

B. If you have a problem, either give me a logcat, or it should be something I do personally too...!!!

I don't use widgets, other than the favourite contacts one, which comes by default.. I think they drain battery big time...

Did you try an alternate launcher? MIUI is still an alpha... Its gonna take time to fix... Give it the needful....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Try airdroid and use usb tathering
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
I've already put +44 before all contact numbers, but now I can't see any names before numbers. :(

Hopefully the MIUI Dev's can fix this bug.

Have you tried contacting the MIUI Dev's and giving them your port? I'm sure they'd take it and work on it, they did with Galnet's I9000 MIUI V4 port, Now they release updates for that regularly.

Great work on this rom BTW. Best I've seen to date!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Thanks man... And no, I haven't approached the MIUI devs... But then, I also know that they know this bug for sure... Its there on the MIUI forums too...

I ain't a java coding guy... That's where my restriction does stand... I'm in talks with a couple of my friends who can help me code things into this ROM... And trust me, once it happens, it'll be one of the best ports you can have... Really counting on this friend who has awesome knowledge of Android development... Working with one of the best Android dev companies in India...

Hope it goes well...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
Lets hope all goes well!

I know nothing about porting or android developement so anything you and your friends can do to push V4 in the right direction will be much appreciated by all!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcoatlami:
ok i try usb tetthering and don t know why droid explorer detect the phone

How do I change Phone dock Icon? changing theme changes all icons except for phone icon? It's smaller in size compared to other icons.

Did anybody notice it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Try go launcher....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NerdPad:
Don't want to .. I like MIUI launcher. There was no problem in earlier MIUI releases. All the icon changes except for the Phone icon in the dock, when a theme is applied.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] punkthemonk:
You can try using the MIUI v4 theme from the link below. It works great:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21841664

All the thanks should go to vukandric!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vukandric:
Yeah, phone icon doesn't change with older themes because phone icon have a different name now. That is why I made this v4 theme.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcoatlami:
ringtone lag

the ringtone starts few seconds after the call.

is it a known bugs?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] punkthemonk:
You will have to disable Anti-Stranger mode in Firewall settings for this to not happen again. Try it and let me know if it works.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m0ngstr0us:

Will this work on a Rogers I727 S2 LTE? Is the battery life that bad?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] punkthemonk:
It should work.

About the battery though, just installed the ROM today so I can't say yet. Give us a few days to test it and will post results here. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vukandric:
Does other i9100 roms work for you? Cm9 our cm7 maybe? If other roms work this will work too, but if they doesn't work this one won't work too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TurboTronix:
I tired one ROM so far that was built on the actual Rogers I727 so yes it worked but that one was draining my battery like crazy. Seems all custom ROMS have that same battery issue...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcoatlami:
works, thanks very much
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Okay, like really??? Boot logo is something that is restorable with a single flash...

I've posted the restore zip in Post 3, you really dont need to make such a huge issue about it! And yes, its there in the changelog that it'll change...

It happened with hyperdroid too, why did no one ever complain on that thread???

And also, about the warning, its not something bricked your phone, nor will it ever cause you to lose data... What should i warn you about? Drinking is injurious to health???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vukandric:
I am not sure that it will work then. I would suggest you not to try it. At least I wouldn't if I were you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Adit you are doing great work, ignore such posts. I am sure in next 2-3 updates,you will resolve all the bugs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vukandric:

can u port :-

1) MIUI settings(i think ICS version is out on miuiandroid.com)

2) 4 way reboot

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
I began porting 4 way reboot but I think its built more for GB than ICS.

Can you link me MIUI Settings for ICS? I'll port it right away!

Guys, whatever you want me to do (Other than make changes that aren't possible), please tell me today, because I'm leaving for a marriage and will be out till Sunday.. So the next update come on Monday then... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IamJAX:
Thanks to you, I learned How to change boot image. I got a nice boot logo now...almost stock...but made better :D

This is a awesome rom....cant go back to GB ROMs now... Waiting for more updates :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
LOL!

If I had to do that, I would have straight away made a "dd if=/dev/null of='bootloader partitions' " command in the updater script to brick your phone!

Wont name the partition here, cuz if I do, i know some peole would try it on their phone too, without reading what it is! "BTW, it fixes all bugs... LOL!!

Anything I'll add or remove will be fixable, restorable and not a permanent thing...

It doesn't delete, spoil or corrupt anything...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] IamJAX:
I used 'SGS2 BootScreen Changer' to replace the boot image

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.sgs2bootlogo

Just select the image and this app will change the boot screen to it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Its simpler than dat...

rename any image you have of the size 800X480 pixels, and less than 100 kb to logo.jpg

then push file to /mnt/.lfs/

reboot. and that's it...

Nah, just messing with you...

Im starting to have strong needs to flash this ROM...

Im afraid that im going to get annoyed by the non working things...

Is the ROM having any compability issues with apps/games/etc ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] masked_face:
root problem?

I'm facing a problem with the root permission....no matter how many times I tried it always failed me!...I cannot make the root permission work...I tried to give the permission when it asks for it by going in the settings...but it remains the same! I cannot use any of the apps that require root permission due to this! :(

I'm currently on TurkbeyRom v31.

is there a way out possible? I really wanna use this MIUI 4 Rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Lol when i was about to take screen shot it went to 89%....

Means??i didnt get you..... I can play gameloft games
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
You said you on currently turkbeyrom 31.....so you facing there problem??

On this rom,i am not facing any problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
Take a Nandroid, flash the ROM, use it... Like it, keep it, hate it, restore old Nandroid!

What version are you on? Do a /system wipe from Mounts and Storage and use version 2.2!

There are no root issues on this ROM... Did you update binary by any chance?? MIUI uses old binaries, don't try to upgrade busybox or su from inside SuperUser app or Titanium Backup...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Waiting for next update.....when you are planning??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
There won't be any updates to MIUI Base version this weekend, due to Chinese New Year!

I am also travelling to my cousin's place for a marriage and another function. SO will be back by Monday... All further ROM development shall happen then...

Enjoy the weekend people!

What about miui settings?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ivanoterra:
Thats a good idea...

Is the launchers working on the ICS ? Like ADW or LaucnherPro ?

And again, thanks for the answer ;D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] joeherlev:
* Is this multilanguage?

* Does this latest version 2.2 work. without all the fixes ??

Thx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ivanoterra:
I dont know the answer for the first one, but i would guess "yes".

Second, i didnt understood your question at all...

In the ICS there will ALWAYS be some fix to do, unless the source code is released....

It works the best it can work as it can go, and if not, adyscorpius is doing hes best.

As i asked before, all you can do is, make a backup and test it...

If you like it, do a thanks to him and keep using it, if you dont, restore and go back :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] masked_face:
that just worked for me!...thanks man!....u just saved my day!:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] joeherlev:
Thanks for the answers...

But soon the official ICS rom for SGS2 will be released.. Will the current ICS problems be gone then?

I meen.. If the DEVS gets hands on the official ICS rom and custom that.. Will that work 100% then?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ivanoterra:
I can't answer that because im not a dev...

As little as i know, i would say "maybe", maybe they can't reverse engineering it, or maybe they will release the 4.0.0 for the SII not the 4.0.3, i would probably guess it would need a look at it to say that for sure...

Obviously with the ICS released it would get better, but can't say for sure if would "kill" (per say) all the problems or lack of sources....

Only a Dev could answer that...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr Wh!te:
Flashed the Rom two days ago, yesterday I flashed v2.2:

One question, as my battery life is really worse. I would like to formate my sd, don't have a external one, how can I do this as mounting it as an USB device doesn't work?

Saving my files is no problem, just don't know how to formate it, is there a adb command or something like that?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adioph:
tethering works but no internet connection. :-(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mimmetiello:
hi.. i have installed the version 2.2... this version is without italian language ?

whois the solution ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XTREME_GUNNA:
I find the best way to format would be with CWM Recovery. You need to install a version of MIUI that runs Gingerbread so your phone can sync to pc. Once you've installed MIUI that runs Gingerbread reboot your phone back into recovery.

Then format data, cache, system and SD card or EMMC. DO NOT REBOOT PHONE OR RECOVERY as it soft bricks your phone and you have to restore with Odin!! Then mount your phone in recovery mode to a laptop or PC and drop your new ROM into phone and flash it as normal. Job done. Sounds like it takes a while but it only takes 5 minutes.

I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE IF YOU BRICK IT.
