Therr r no fcs

Changing it to system app incresed battery life by an hour

Apps open up fast

Apex launcher has an option to make app drawer background transperent which no other lsuncher has so makin it system app increases the speed of app drawer

It slso has option to make home screen folders change shape so it increses the speed of home screen

This ar the things i found out by makin apks system app

Fr example i use hobo font in this rom when i use it as a non system font it sometimes changes to system default font after reboot but when i chsnge it to system font wt titanium it never changes back to rom font after many restats

So the important apps should be system spps to get maximum out of them
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightlight:
That maybe so, but please explain what "pure ics experience" I am missing? And I might go back to using the ones you mention and forgo all the customisation and extras go has.

thanks,

[Galaxy S II Android Development] delca85:
I would like to know the same things, why have I to change launcher? I think go launcher is the best because of its gesture settings and high customization.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
Gesture control and customizations are also present in apex launcher

Go launcher is gb launcher that uses ics as a theme not as a system launcher i cant explsin it more only thing i can say is that it is a theme based launcher which was build fr gb

If u use gb stuff on ics there will always be performance problems

As u cannot use ics stuff on gb it is nog advisable to use gb stuff on ics it is like using ford partx on a ferrari
[Galaxy S II Android Development] me_ashman:
I don't care which launcher. Apex and nova are the same (except nova prime is a paid app) I use both cause if one ****s itself the other is a backup.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mesenger77:
Apex - simply more customization :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] YaPaY:
My prefer is Apex
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aromo:
Apex please

Thanks for your great work.

ok guys im running 3.6 love the rom been using it for a few builds now, cant updaye to latest as i have no broadand, anyway im using stock calender that the op posted but i seem to have days missing in the callender anyone else noticed this? Added a picture my sisters birthday is on march 31st as u can see comes up in events but the box for the day is almost hidden.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eudemony:
RE: Launcher

Apex is my fave, but there is no reason why you can't have both in. Use Apex 1.0.5 though!

If you have both, when you press the home key it will ask you which launcher do you want (Apex, Nova, Trebuchet .. which ever you have installed) tick the box make this my default launcher and select.. you can always change to a different default launcher in the launchers settings for nova and apex.

Having both Apex and Nova should keep everyone happy .. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] StevenBX:
I vote to keep Nova Launcher.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
Keepin multiple launchers increases rom size and run in background eatin up ram so its advisable to keep everyting short and sweet
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alekos panagulis:
ok i vote Apex

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightlight:
Well, I tried Apex launcher...slower than go and a hell of a lot harder to customise in the way I want ....so binned it and went back to what suits me best. I can live with the performance problems as I did'nt see any! LOL

Folks, use what YOU like best, don't be swayed by subjective claims of increased, faster, smoother, whatever etc etc etc.. remember you want it to be a pleasure using your phone so try them all and judge for yourself :)

flame on..:D

Night...

P.S. I read somewhere that Fords are more reliable than Ferrari's ;)

P.P.S So I ask the master Alchemist to just include the stock launcher and let each individual decide and install what they want.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] althebyani:
I have a death situation. So, V3.8 will be postponed for couple of days

So, I made a poll for three days. After that, I will take the launcher that has the largest number of votes and I will use it for all of my next builds.

I don't want to have this discuss every now and then

So, pls make ur choice

Thanks and I will miss u during these copule of days

[Galaxy S II Android Development] natzy85:
hello guys, I noticed that battery live is not improving on my phone using this rom because it has no deep sleep.Any way to fix this? Could be the kernel? A recomandation pls? It's the first time it happenes 4 me. Should I flash LP3 root?Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
Battery life fr me is great i think extweaks it is a free app on market can help u in this it is compatible with siyah
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JayJ-1974:
Did you do a fresh install, wiping data etc?

I have no deep sleep issues at all.

As for the launcher debate, personally I use Apex. I've used many launchers since using Android including Launcher Pro Plus, ADW, ADW EX, Go Launcher, Nova and some others, I'm still using Apex because I like it. As others have said I'm not bothered what launcher the ROM comes with because if it's Nova I'll just use Titanium to uninstall and convert the market download of Apex to a system app.

Althebyani, are you considering the 15 toggle as standard? If you do could you please provide a CWM zip to remove it please, I'm not a fan!

Looking forward to 3.8 but take your time mate, some things are more important!!

Can nova launcher be removed totally in v3.6? Ive jumped over to apex.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Garoto1973:
Hi bugsbunny. How did you fare with Siyah 3.0rc3? I saw that since your post rc4 and final v3.0 was released and looks like the random freezes/reboots were fixed. I think i will give it a try!

I am currently on Abyss 1.4, very stable, great deep sleep performance but it chews a lot of battery when screen is in use (drops 1% every 5 minutes just by reading tweets in tweetdeck for example).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JayJ-1974:
I've uninstalled Nova on all the builds of Thebyani ROM I've flashed, since v3.1 I think!

I've been using v3.0 since this morning UK time, first impressions are good with most bugs resolved. I have had a couple of minor app freezes but they fc'd rather than me having to reboot, not perfect but better.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
Use titanium back up pro

Firsy install any other launcher ie i use apex

Then open titanium backup pro

Search for nova

Then click on nova and clesr memory

Then long press nova convert it to user app

Then uninstall nova

Before doin it remove search frm home screen and dont forget to install other launcher
[Galaxy S II Android Development] me_ashman:
Well I got the ****s with the latest version of siyah(not that I'm ungrateful) but I've gone backwards to beta4 and the difference in battery consumption is massive.

Jay, how do u uninstall nova?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
I have explained it two posts above
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JayJ-1974:
As he said, just a few posts above. Titanium Back Up Pro, an essential if your regularly flashing ROM's.

For those who don't like the 15 toggle? .. why?

Is it because of the missing settings?

Cuz there are ones with it included (see pic)

Btw I have set a lower dpi so that's why it looks so spaced out in the pic
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xsillian:
I just use the quick settings app... but i have the 15 toggle without the text.

Another little question tho, how did you change the dpi?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eudemony:
You need to edit the build.prop file in the system dir. Use root explorer, mount as rw, long hold on the file build.prop, select open in text editor and navigate and change the value in the line

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

to

ro.sf.lcd_density=190

Save and exit

Then delete the file build.prop.bck (or move it somewhere else if u want to keep a backup)

in contacts (as my deflaut language is Polish) I got on right side letters to search by alphabet (picture)

I would like to get whole alphabet without polish letters (as I do not use them at all) and dots (to get a full alphabet)

second thing is - is there anything to make a screen shot in TheByani or should I use outside software?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] masteriori:
How do you flash kernels? I am already on Thebyani v3.7
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robb3rt:
download the zip for CMW from his website, then go to CWM and flash an update.zip go to your download folder and select the downloaded .zip file and there you go! ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
Download siyah 3.0.1 odin one

Get into downlad mode factory download

Open odin

Connect phonr in download mode

In odin press pda

Select siyah 3.0.1

Flash it

Let the phone reeboot

Done

Imp

Factory download volume down + power + home

Dont ho to factory download via cwm or u will get the yellow triangle i got it but removed it via triangle away 1.25

Always flash syiah via odin and download odin version
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eudemony:
no.. if you flash via cwm you DON'T get the yellow triangle, also the increment flash counter doesn't add that you flashed an insecure kernel.

I try to steer away from Odin as much as possible ;)

From my experience flashing an unsecure kernel from Odin will give you the yellow triangle.. so then you have to flash a stock kernel to get rid of it, but yes, "triangle away" gets rid of it too

so, to do it all via your phone (not on PC)

1. go to http://www.gokhanmoral.com and click on the latest post

2. click on downloading the CWM version .. it downloads to your sdcard /download directory

3. reboot into recovery mode (via CWM or via 15 toggle or turn your phone off and hold vol up + menu button + power - let go of power when sgs II boot screen comes up but continue to hold the other 2 buttons)

4. in recovery mode go to "install zip from sdcard" then (mattering on which kernel you already have) go to "choose zip from internal sdcard"

5. navigate until you find the folder "download" and open (Home button or power button as enter or if on siyah already the touch enter button works also)

6. navigate to "Siyah-v3.0.1-CWM.zip" and open

script will run then reboot phone

done :) .. no yellow triangle :p

If im on v3.6 with KH3 modem, do i need to wipe before installing v3.7?

The Boss recommends wiping before flashing. I didn't, and i have no problems.

yes it is advised to so you don't get problems.

If you want to keep your modem you will need to reflash that also.. as the modem is overwritten

as a general rule i follow .. remember to nandroid and titanium backup your files before you flash!

Great rom mate

First of all THANKS A LOT FR MAKIN APEX AS SYSTM LAUNCHER

The phone apk of 3.7 had a bigger photo than 3.8 can we use 3.7 phone apk in 3.8

The notification lines in status bar r blue in system ui but when we flash 15 toggles they bevome white can u edit the 15 toggles to make notifications blue

I am usin siyah 3.0.1 i think it is more smooth

ON THE WHOLE GREAT ROM MAN

THANKS FR THE UPDATES AND OVER ALL

FR UR EFFORTS

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

Am i the only one or

THERE IS NO CALL RECORDING IN THIS ROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] althebyani:
U welcome mate

It is bigger and that's why it was appearing beyond the buttons but in 3.8 they r fixed

If u like the old one. I don't know if it will work or not but back up phone apk before that

Yes my bad I forgot the recording
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
Thats why its called full screen dialer i thought u extended the photosize to fit the whole screen bu infact u shot down the photo size can u make a phone apk where the photo takes up the whole screen leving the sta tus bar like the iphone

And the buttons on the photo buttons on the photo the one in 3.7 looked awsome only the photo did not fit yhe screen

And about the 15 toggle satusbar notification text colour is white how to change it to blue

Can u help

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

I seem to loose my edge connection whe yhe screen is locked fr a long time it jappened with 3.6 ;3.7 toocan u tell me the best phone modem fr india
[Galaxy S II Android Development] althebyani:
1- If u want the full screen caller then extract phone apk from v3.6 and use it. It displays the photo on the whole screen.

2- It is on systemui but I'm not sure of which xml file that has the colors. I have to open it later and locate the file then edit it

U mean the color on the status bar the pops up when some thing is going on ?

I will try to change it if I have time

3- Indeed, I have no idea about the best Indian modem. But, google it and I'm very sure that u will find a lot of Indian users that experienced this and posted their solutions.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashwaa:
No the 3.6 was messed up 3.7 was the best phone apkstill i will try both the apks and post

Performance for Thebyani V3.8
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fulham:
Crashes

Hi,

I downloaded and flashed v 3.7 on my SGS2 I9100, previously running XWKK5 Gingerbread ,rooted. No issues with the previous rom whatsoever other than a very high battery consumption rate.

So, thought to give this custom rom a go.

I followed every single instructions on page 1.

I made a copy of the existing rom using titanium pro (batch back up) and also, just before factory resetting made a back up using cwm.

Following this, did the factory reset and all other resets (including the battery info etc) and did it all twice.

Flashed the new rom and rebooted.

Everything looked hunky dory and I restored the titanium backup applications (app+data, no system files). No problem at all.

Next, I tried to setup my emails. The moment I clicked on it, the system halted. All the buttons became unresponsive and the screen looked all black!

After a minute or so, "sorry, the email application needed forced shutdown" or something similar popped up.

However, all the buttons still remained unresponsive.

I long pressed the on/off button which took me back to the log in screen and despite I entered my password correctly, it blocked me for 30 seconds saying that I have entered "wrong password" 5 times!

Eventually I did a factory reset and reverted back to my previous system.

However, I liked the look and layouts of this rom and therefore reflashed my phone.

However, this time I thought I wouldn't import anything from my titanium back up and would like to see if the mail setup works OK.

No such luck! Exactly same problem repeated again!:-C

Now back to my old rom again, brokenheartedly.

Please advise me how to make your rom work on my SGS2, coz I like it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] althebyani:
First of all, thanks for liking the rom.

Second thing, do a FULL WIPE install V3.8 (NOT V3.7). Restore ur apps then don't open and don't set anything.

Go and update all of ur restored apps and all of other apps from market

Then, reboot into recovery and do fix permissions.

Then, u r good to go

This is should be very enough and should work with no problems but if u still having issues (worst case) then

u need to install the official XWLP4 release via ODIN then root it after that installing my rom

First try the first solution and if it didn't work then tell me. but it should work

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eudemony:
To change the boot animation

1 download the bootanimation.zip to your phones sdcard

2 open root explorer (or any other free root file manager from market) and copy the bootanimation.zip

3 go to system/media and mount as r/w then paste the bootanimation.zip

4 change permissions to match the rest of the files in that folder

5 reboot

Edit: changed dir to correct one system/media not system/etc
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Robb3rt:
Thanks gonna try it! ;)

and what resolution do i have do to download? 320x480 or 480x800?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fulham:
Thanks for that.

I will try that.

However, the only thing I didn't do last time was update through the android market before the fix permission step.

Otherwise I read all the instructions and did the fix permission as well with no good result.

I will try to do the application update this time.

Just in case I have to move on to the second option of installing the official XWLP4, does it need to be that firmware and not the one that I am using right now, XWLPQ (baseband XXLPR)?

Also, if it is XWLP4, I will have to flash it, root it and then flash your non-wipe version 3.8 on top of it, correct?

cheers!
