Real quick initial observation. Video player FCs, and after it has done that the screen changes. It looks like a photo that has been way over sharpened. It doesn't go back to normal until a reboot. The older version did that too.

I'll report back after more use today.

Edit: The Screen Mode in the display settings also does not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Thanks! I need you to be more specific for the video FC. I can't reproduce any FC, can you provide the video file you're trying to play?

The screen mode is a new bug, thanks for finding it! Must be one of the apks I removed, I'll have to decompile and check it's dependencies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
It's not the best quality, here is a video I tried to make of the error. This video itself will not play in the stock player, but will play in MX Player. The capture didn't capture that it plays, its a video podcast, the VergeCast. It plays fine in MX Player, then when I try to play the same video in the stock player it FCs. The app itself doesn't FC until I try to play something. But it does it with all files, camera movies, and downloaded avi files.

Here's my first observation, the search button is not working! I installed Google Search but that didn't help. That search button is how I access many apps.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Tried solving that problem myself by extracting GoogleQuickSearch.apk from UnNamed 1.3.2 but that didn't work. GoogleQuickSearch force closes.

Please as this search button functionality.

Update: Tried installing Nitrality through Market and Titanium Backup but neither worked. It installs but it doesn't launch for some reason.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
VoiceSearch.apk is what gives you the search button functionality, I'll add it in the next release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Hi Ryude,

Settings force closes when I go to Text to Speech setting. Is TTS removed?

Google Search for apps:

As I said earlier, I was able to get the search button working after pasting UnNamed 1.3.2 GoogleQuickSearch.apk in /system/app. I was able to select app search in it's search setting, but the search app FC every time I tried to search anything.

Then I updated that app through Market. After that, it didn't FC, but the option to search apps in its setting went away.

Also I can't launch Nitrality after installing it. I get this error toast when I try to do so. Any ideas?

Update: Or do I need SearchApplicationsProvidet.apk to enable app search? I'll need to check that out tomorrow.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Because nitrality is for CM7, not touchwiz :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Hmm, but it installed fine on odexed ReNamed 1.3.3 :confused:

Battery life update:

Surprisingly, battery life was worse on the first day of 1.3.6 (your 1.3.3 gave me the best battery life till date). The first time 100->1% discharge on 1.3.6 happened in about 12 hours with 2h 45m of screen on time, 35m GPS, 40m talk time, 20m podcasts. First day low battery life can be understood. I will run this version for another day or 2 before deciding the battery life on this version in general.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
1.3.6 had several problems, so I understand how it could have poor battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Nitrality installed fine on the first version, then I used Titanium backup to restore it.

I noticed something today, Netflix caused my phone to get really hot and freeze after 5 minutes. I haven't played with any voltage control settings. This was on data if it matters. I use Netflix all the time, and it hasn't done that before, on data or wifi.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Which version and did you change the kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Version 1.3.6, latest I thought. That's where I was heading with the Voltage Control reference. I have not touched the kernel, or OC/UV settings, or even the governor. I mentioned that because I thought it would be kernel type issue.

This is the only time it heated up. After a reboot I put Netflix back on, and it got real hot again, but didn't freeze.

Edit: I didn't see the thread in the dev section. Downloading 1.3.7 now, future feedback in that thread.

Heard alot about the e4gt, and was wondering what everyone thinks about how the 3vo compares to it. I had to get the 3vo because it was $100 less.. Was it a good choice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I would say if you got the 3d you got the worse of the two. I have both and the 3d doesn't compare to my epic. sorry bud.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tvsamson:
I thought so to. The dumbass at the radioshack store recommended the 3vo. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
ya its still a good phone for the price. sense just slows the phone down. but the also roms don't have 3d. I love my epic :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] klbjr:
Yes. Coming from a HTC man I would definitely have to give the edge to the E4GT. I had the original Evo 4G and Epic 4G and now the 3D and E4GT. Despite what a lot of people said about the original two phones, I think the Evo was the better of the two, even with the Epic boasting better hardware but this E4GT blows the 3D out of the water. Better screen, better camera, better speakers, better radios...just an all around better phone. I will have to give the edge to the 3D when it comes to build quality. The 3D feels like a well and solid built phone when handling it. The first thing I thought when I picked up the E4GT was it felt light and flimsy. Almost cheap. But it has held up after a few hard drops on my part. Now I still hate TouchWiz with a passion and Sense is 10x better IMO, but with other launchers available I've gotten over it. The 3D seems to have a little more development going on for whatever reason but it doesn't have the huge disparity like the original Evo 4G had over the Epic 4G. Now don't get me wrong, the 3D is a good phone and quite comparable but the E4GT beats it out Imo. Now just waiting to see if Sprint will be getting the One X and GS III. That's gonna make things interesting, I may have to go back to carrying around two phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nero8762:
Go with the e4gt. Great speed, good dev support, great screen, great phone. Rooted, running PH's Blazer 4.0 ROM, w Gunslinger 1.4.1, w FB15 modem. Its buttery smooth, & responsive. And great battery life so far (c screenie). That's with mild to moderate use (calls, texts, browsing, youtube.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
I apologize if this has been discussed, I really did search and only found one place where this was asked, but there was no answer. According to the Samsung 7.7 features page it says this "Mini Apps : Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. You can easily access favorite features such as Calendar, Email, or PenMemo as a pop up over full screen applications. " So obviously my question is this. How is this done? Or is it even possible on my model? Thank you and again sorry of this has already been addressed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lulugirl896:
If you look at the bottom bar on your Tab you will see an icon that looks like an upside down 'v'. Click on it and it will bring up your mini-apps tray. You can launch those mini apps over the app you are in.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
I think you misunderstood my question. I know about the up/ down arrow and the mini apps. But it says that is is Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. So Im trying to figure out how to change them if its possible on the wifi only 6810. Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Im not totally sure which one I used, but it might have been the one in post 19. But that one will change the icons as well. Im not sure where you might get one that is stock. The same author of that thread "Ssaass" makes an app called "Wizzbar" that might help you. I may be able to make one for you. Upload your systemui.apk and Ill see what I can do.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
That would be great, I'm sending you my stock SustemUI.apk, now... how I'm going to change the apps from the mini-app thing? press and hold? ..??

I checked out that Wizzbar but didn't like it...

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Ok, didnt think I forgot about you did you? I think this is what your looking for. The edit function shows up when you press the mini apps button. Lower right corner, cant miss it. This is all stock icons with edit function built in. Hope this is what you wanted. I tested this on my rooted stock 6810. Let me know if it works.

PS: For anyone that might want to know how I did it. All I did was use the "layout" folder in the Res folder from the apk that has the edit function. Then rezipped, changed name and permissions, and put back into system/ app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
Awesome... Thanks for your time. I'll try it when i get home tonight. I'm thanking you now anyway...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
Yes, it works, thanks... But what I didn't expect is that you can't add any app you want, it's just limited to some samsung "mini" apps which really su**s!

I wonder if there's a way around that...

Thanks again I really appreciate it anyway.

Where can I get ahold of the faux clock app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Faux kernel is flashable through cwm, and fauxclock is the app to overclock/undervolt. My phone does -100 mV, but urs might not. Set it and use the phone for a couple hours before checking the "set on boot" box. Also decreasing the Max CPU will help as well. I find 1.2 to be a good balance without losing any noticable speed

Does under or overvolting give me anything other than impact to my battery life and maybe damage the CPU?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
damaged CPU? Probably not, the kernel won't really allow u to do that, and the phone will reboot first, plus the app has very safe limits and is user friendly. Its y I recommended it over system tuner, which is for more advanced users. Undervolting is strictly for increase in battery life, its the reason we do it. Same speed, more battery, without getting into a derailed explanation as to y
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckck543:
Personally i find that da_g .3 kernel works great for battery life because it can idle at 54 mhz. although if you feel comfortable undervolting that is the true key to amazing battery :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
This is wrong, the kernel doesn't actually perform at 54mhz, the PPL isn't capable of this, its purely aesethics, its actually running at 192. This is from the mouth of Da_G himself. Faux kernel 009m has been proven in my own personal tests to have just the same battery as dag, and his kernels scale better becuz they have more frequency options. Wifi tethering however does not work with his kernels, which makes me sad

Kernel by faux123

I have also read that kernel by faux123 is supposed to be really good and the battery lasts much longer, and I'm very tempted to do so. But I'm unsure what the exact steps I need to take in case I want to revert back if something doesn't work well.

Assuming that I've already done nandroid backup:

1. Go into CWM and wipe date/factory.

2. Then go to wipe cache partition and clear it out.

3. Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache.

4. Go to Backup/Restore and restore from SD card.

I'm not sure if I should do steps 2 & 3, which basically I'm undoing what was done, as per instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437563).

I currently have a rooted Stock Rom (bloated).

Android Version = 2.3.5

Baseband Version = I727UCKJ2

Kernel Version = 2.6.35.11

Thanks for the help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Here are the exact steps you should follow. If u want better battery get his mainline 009 release, its in post 311 of his kernel thread, and download that to SD card. Boot into CWM and backup first. Then wipe cache and dalvik. Flash kernel from SD. Wipe dalvik and cache again, reboot and wait. Done

Not seeing difference

I managed to flash the kernel successfully, but honestly I don't see any difference in battery performance, as far as extended life is concerned. What I did notice was an improvement in the performance of the Skyrocket as indicated by Antutu Benchmark. My previous number was 5730 and afterwards it showed 6570. I flashed it last night. The battery went down from 100% to 91% in about 5 1/2 hours. I had left the email client open (forgot to close it out). I'm not sure if there's a standard testing procedure, like watching a movie continuously and doing stuff on the web at the same time, etc.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Have you d/l the fauxclock app to adjust voltage???

I'm also about to flash the kernel, but concerning if it will alert anything such as LTE speed or other errors.

Is it a must to use CWM to flash?? I think I currently on have 3e to flash rom/kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artbybart:
faux123 kernel

Yeah I read up about the app and it's supposed to work hand-in-hand with the kernel. For some reason, I just thought that I'd see battery improvement using this kernel without having a need to download the app. I can't go into the that thread and ask specifically about the procedure, etc.

From my understanding that CWM is the way to go when it comes to flashing; I'm not too familiar with 3e.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
3e stock recovery can only install officially signed packages by SAMSUNG... any other will need to be flashed via tar (Odin) or zip (CWM).

u have to use the app with the link I provided. Download it and on the voltage screen drag it to -75 mV and check set on boot, that's it. The reason u noticed a speed increase is by default this kernel overclocks to 1.72 ghz, instead of 1.5 like stock. U can turn this down too to save battery

Just to update everybody, I moved the Fauxclock-0.9m apk file to /system/app and installed it from there. I change the voltage to -75mv and checked set on reboot. I restarted the phone then did anututu test and to my surprise the performace has dropped from 6570 to 4224!! I even changed the clock speeds to 1.512 or 1.7, but the speeds are still showing not higher than 4374. I changed the governor from ondemand to performance, but not difference.

Is that normal? I haven't tested the battery life yet, but so far I'm disappointed with the speeds! It seems adding the script has possibly slowed down processing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
Maybe because the 2nd core is disabled by default... If you dl system tuner you can choose to start both cores on boot. As for apks, you can open them from any location and they should install just fine as far as I know
