No one can recommend you any kernel of your taste. This has been answered several time in this thread and IIRC it is explained earlier here again.

As my dieting schedule can't be fit for you as it depends on your taste. So here people get good battery life with philz, apolo, dorimanx, siyah with there own configuration and use. I get very less battery backup but more than aosp base roms because I play games and a lot of on screen with edge network and meantime 3hrs on screen time with stock kernel.

Either restore a nandroid backup of your system, where it was still working or try to flash a mod containing the recent apps mod again.

Hi guys, is possible to get softkeys lights after screen-unlock, and not after wake the phone??

I'm using a black background in lockscreen (is cool for me) and if the softkeys were off, the effect will be more cool :cool:

Any suggestions??

PS.. I'm on Neat5.5 with Apolo 4.13regular.. Probably I have to ask in pedestre's thread..

okay now i know what went wrong.

i had Galaxy Locker installed and set KitKat Launcher from P.store set as default and when i reflashed the rom, it always set KitKat Laucher as default so the i have to change back to stock launcher and it will work.

Did u take backup of ur rom before playing with mods ? Coz it is always recommended to take nand backup before flashing any mod just for the case that happened to u.

Yes, it's the same thing. (There's additional line in browser preferences.xml which you might check, something like keep_downloads_storage).You may also try to clear data of Download storage and/or Downloads, clear cache in Recovery. It's hard for me to say since it switches fine here (Philz kernel, though, if it matters).

Guys is there any mod to configure also the color of other icons in status bar like signal, wifi and other? As of now we can change clock, day, battery, traffic meter and status bar color...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rated RR:
For big fonts you may want to set them to something smaller in Settings -> Display -> Font size.

For DPI change you may try to use XPosed module "AppSettings": http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437377, where it allows you to set the DPI per application itself, as some basic stuff will not work as you would expect.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Yep, they're all text.

To change icon colours you either have to replace the icons or be awesome and add custom settings like in [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION]'s AllianceMOD

Good decision mate...our s2 is still competitive at this...but it's just sad to know samshyt already stop the update to jellybean...no more kitkat :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] benbird7:
I'm kinda fed up waiting for new firmware. Then waiting for the mods to be changed etc. Looking forward to getting on a phone I can just use and not worry about whether there's a new rom out. I do suffer with rom updating disorder and with the recent issues on the s4 I'm fed up with it. The amount of time spent updating roms and resolving problems has just about done my head in now!

Bigger processors and screens mean bigger battery drains. Get about one day on s4 with 3hrs screen on using lux to conserve screen power usage.

Any idea how that fares to this on the s2? Similar? Ty.

Xposedframework

Hi. Anyone use xposedframework on Neatrom? It slows down my phone significant. The difference is noted directly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
No slow downs here. Maybe one of the modules you are using causes this. Go to framework installer > Modules, untick all reboot and observe phone performance. If it's OK then activate Modules one by one (reboot needed) still observing phone behaviour. Maybe this way you will find a culprit.

If not, then try reinstalling the latest version of the Framework.

Hey long time no c. Been awhile on 4.4 roms and on miui v5 rom. How is stock rom doing nowdays? Apparently well as neat rom keeps getting more users ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Truman82:
Actually miui v5 by asnet is based on official Samsung firmware :) to answer your question, I'm not sure am I... Bored? To 4.4 already. Wondering am I getting best possible speed and compatibility with aosp based rom. And as many roms are going 4.4 bandwagon, many people seems to return to neat rom. Just curious why, and should I give it a go aswell ^_^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avirk:
When you sya WHY it just confuse others why not? Aosp roms great battery sucker afaik(at least for me). A lots of new integrated settings and option lots of mods available to what kind of look you want of your phone. Give it a go and you will not disappoint.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
Just give it a try. Costs nothing. Unfortunately currently I have no comparison with latest AOSP roms because haven't flashed any recently.

Maybe I will try one of them just to have an impression how it goes ...

Concerning MIUI v5 - there are also AOSP versions available and you didn't specify on which you were (I thought - on AOSP one) :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Truman82:
Fair enough, will give it a go :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yavu:
Can it to do with missing system apps (NR Extralite + some more deleted apps) ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
No way.

Its because of the module you are using as many 40 said clearly.

Btw based on my experience app settings module does not cause lags.

I have experienced lag when i used xblast and gravity box modules .

With Neatrom you can much easier backup your efs, with neatroms efs app. Very user friendly.

Think about it... if S2 got Kitkat, that means more people would stick with S2 (atleast i would if that happened) and samsung wouldn't get as much money... So, according to me, don't get your hopes up (if you have any, that is) for kitkat for s2.

And btw, what's so wrong with jelly bean? If you treat your phone right you could get up to frikin' 4 DAYS of battery like [MENTION=5420595]ssanjy[/MENTION] just showed us ;)

And new doesn't necessarily mean better...

Hey guys,

I've been running 5.5 for a while now on my wife's phone and it's great. But I keep seeing a wakelock for l2_hsic of more than 5%. I always reboot after I disconnect the charger and on the old Neatrom that I had last year, that kept l2_hsic at a reasonable level. On my Note 2, it is always below 1%. I don't think it is possible to totally eliminate it, but has anyone else found a way to reduce the level? Are you getting the same value?

Best regards to all the old gang....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Hard to say ... as this wakelock can be caused by different things.

Maybe it's better to record an IDLE dump of about 4 hours in BBS app, and post it in BBS thread.

If you don't want to post it there, you can also PM me.

Hopefully we can find the real culprit for this wakelock in the BBS dumpfile.

Over the last few days my phone has come up with an app error, then the background is black and all the icons are gone. I can only use the pull down notification bar. Last night it happened and even the touch screen didnt work. Had to take the battery out, managed to get it to the kernal to do a restore.

Today it just happened and I did the restore, but it just hangs on the Samsung logo.

Anybody had this issue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rated RR:
Many reasons could be the reason and I would just like to name the following that would affect everybody:

1. For the starters you should check location reporting, as this is main legal battery drainer, and it seems it is turned on by default: Google Settings -> Location -> Location Reporting.

2. On the other hand I've got strong suspicion about baseband drainage as well. 3G module wastes the battery big time. Apparently XXMS4 comes on with NeatROM as part of its installation. However, my wife's fully stocked SII which btw runs awesome, without any problems, and with great uptime - uses supposedly ICS' BOLP9. Anyhow, I didn't wan't to use the ICS module, so I flashed DDLS9 instead. It might be too soon to come up with definitive results, but today from 7hrs to 16hrs during my business time it dropped down to only 75%, whilst yesterday with XXMS4 it was around 50%. I will continue to experiment and definitely come back with the conclusion.

3. In my humble opinion it is wise to buy fully new battery once every year. You can always use the old ones as a backup and the new one surely holds up better that the old one. We are all demanding users here and giving the batteries hard time. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adzz37:
oh sorry... i know that sammy dont update s2 to kitkat they want to force us s2 users to buy newer phone for kitkat... thats the marketing strategy they use i think...
