Got to say damn fine work, this is my favourite daily since the last official version of Litening Rom back in the old GB days lol, due to the weird and wonderful tasks that take up my days haha.

Apart from the last few posts mentioning a few small niggles like some sliders only usable by tapping location/lock screen sliders I really can't fault this ROM tbh.

After adding in a few choice inverted GApps/side loading a few apps/getting Dolphin with LP/Xmark/Line call recording and a fair bit of tweaking, I think this one will be a keeper for a good while. The connections have been great, using GPS/Wifi in/around London has been a lot less painful than the last ROM I was using, and with the functionality and lightweight aspects of the PA 2.54 ROM make my battery last well, especially with the ability to have the profile switching to shut off all but the essentials. But... I do have 2 standard plus a fat battery so I have been less than rigorous in checking for low battery drain but in the last week I'd say it's OK.

When I'm driving I use Ulysse with the speedo overlay on top of Google Maps for 2 hour+ journeys, while flicking between films/tv shows for about half hour when stuck in traffic with no car charger (Check check M4/South Circular crew!) so I fully expect the battery to have a hernia/internal bleeding/loose at least 2 limbs during those journeys anyways, but when I'm not torturing the battery, it seems to last well imo.

The ease of the DPI switching is a great touch, I love having things micro sized but also have a few apps/scenarios where larger/higher DPI makes things look tight, so am back to having a super phone with everything I need working well, with good battery life while having friends and people who love to be nosey and look over your shoulder do a double take and ask WTF is on my phone! So high five to all the PA team on getting me from half working but sort of sleek looking/regular reboots to fully working, fully pimped and smooth JB phone, thanks! :good:

10/10, would flash again :)

Edit: Now after all that, I've installed loads of apps and did take notice of batt levels, and it did drop a fair chunk over night. Defo don't think when fully setup this will be a 2-3 day battery life like the last ROM I was using, but will comfortably get a solid day out of it if you take the time to set it up.

Things to take into account: Apart from the obvious (Screen/Main autosync/UC & UV/switching off uneeded services, also having a minimalist style rather than going for a pre 1996 geocities style homescreens) I've found a good way to limit things is checking the individual apps you use, not having 7 email accounts refresh every 15 minutes helps also...

Using something like Gemini App Manager/Permissions Pro to stop any auto starting apps/permissions, as looking deeper, there are a hell of a lot of situations that cause apps to get busy in the background without your knowledge, dig into your apps and tell them what to do, not let them have free reign and you won't see your battery graph taking a nose dive.

Using PA 2.54 with Syiah kernel 5.0. 1 and everything is OK except when connected to PC it doesn't see my device.

It says "not recognized device" so is not possible to open and browse the internal or external sd card.

Can anyone help plz?

It works perfectly, just the first time you launch the app it takes about 10 seconds to activate, just be patient. It is instant after that.

Hpe this helps ;)

Wow.. Informative post..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Honusnap:
No need to install anything, there is some settings in Stweaks, did you already look in there ? "Not recognised" cause you are not connected in UMS mode and your windows is asking for the "adb" or other (do not remember the name) drivers.

Draw the notification bar down when connected to your pc than touch the notification about the usb connection then click the button.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] flute:
The problem is that I have no notification at all in status bar.

I tried both parameters in Ex tweaks but nothing changes.

When I connect my phone to usb cable on my windows 7 pc, nothing happens except that message. :banghead:

Guys i dont know if this is a known issue but sins i bought my galaxy s2 my network connection is really bad (1 or 2 bars max) for months i Always thought that it was my new provider .. But now a couple of days suddenly my connection is perfect (full green bars) .. when i activate 2G toggle at mobile settings without using data connection/toggle, i get full green bars but asoon i switch 2g Off i lose most of my bars without using data also
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Honusnap:
- Check what you have in init.d folder

- Disable all applications like extweaks (freeze or backup / uninstall)

I've not tried but seems that these are the commands to force UMS : (perhaps reboot needed)

/system/bin/setprop sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

/system/bin/setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

/system/bin/setprop sys.usb.state mass_storage,adb

2G and 3G are two different networks, at the same place you can have a very good 2G reception and a bad 3G reception....

Seems that you have a bad 3G reception, forcing to 2G gave you a better signal... plus it will certainly gave you more battery life.

Updated : Seen your pictures now, strange ... cause it should be 2G (just gsm, no edge or others) mode when data disabled or wifi in use.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] issy_i:
Very strange i am not activating any data connection so my data toggle is OFF ..... its just tapping on that 2g function giving me full bars..

Why does auto brightness never decrease brightness? I'm using latest Siyah kernel and in cMIUI it's just working fine, when I turn lights off the brightness goes down instantly but in PA nothing happens. And setting "allow lights to decrease" in settings doesn't change that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Honusnap:
It should decrease, perhaps your sample time is a little to high ?

Plus there is a setting that reset the computed average when a "far from average" value is detected... set it to something like 400 / 500 and see if it helps.

Another update for anyone with battery issues, I changed my kernel to Siyah-Dorimanx 7.19...

Has done wonders for my battery, only dropped 6% in 6 hours with a bit of checking mail/a few websites/a few Google maps searches and loads of driving about. Had to swap my batt with my other S2, then this pic is the rest of the day, admittedly not much screen on time due to, you know, work and stuff, but that last long drop was with a 1 1/2 hour journey with Ulysse/Google Navigation. I'm now happy as a pig in pigs*it.

I'd say this ROM plus Dorimanx is a proper ninja combo, hats off to PA and DM, my phone is now as gangsta as it gets, cheers guys :thumbsup:

+1 for PlayerPro, very good player...

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

Yep it decrease for me.

Go in Settings/Display/Automatic backlight/Edit Others levels

There is an indicator at the top left (sensor filtered / raw) that gave you these infos :

Filtered : It depends on the Light sensor filter, window length , reset thresold etc..

Raw : The raw value coming from the sensor

Screen : Value of the backlight according to the editable table

1 - Check if the minimum value in the table, should be something like 20

2 - Try disabling the filter, this way only raw values will be taken, removing the "delay" of the filter.

The filter is just there to "smooth" the way the sensor value is reported, to remove "spikes".

I have a problem where this is not working.

1: Fresh install, not tweaked anything, and phone is in phablet mode with 160dpi p(retty far fetched on this screen, but anyways).

2: I go to Paprefs, interface, and choose phone mode and 240dpi for everything OK, phone reboots - no change! Every single apps (that I checked in the app settings-tab, and by opening them) is still 160dpi and phablet mode. Browser, paprefs settings itself, settings etc. etc.

I even tried going to tools->set properties, reboot and do it all again, in case paprefs had dreamt up app specific values for each app) but still no luck. The interface tab in paprefs simply isn't working at all for me. The apps tab DOES work, but it's not like I can set all the apps manually either... Is there any way to force this to work at 240dpi in phone mode as standard for all apps, when papefs interface tab isn't working? Or is there anything else left to try?

SOME of interface itself (statsubar/etc) are in the correct dpi/mode, but not the dalogue boxes. The interface setings just doesn't stick to most of the system/apps.

Some screenshots to explain the problem can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/UPUJP

I've never had any similar problems with a port of PA on my tablet, this is very strange. As I have not edited the settings of any app, why does all the apps have a seting (coming from nowhere) that differ from what I've set in interface?

edit: Sems now it's only he system apps that refuse to respect the interface choices. Still, annoying enough on its own.

Pretty stable for me, some ril crash from time to time (CM problem, not PA)... one per week, appart from that... nothing.

The stock kernel is good, do not mess with an other kernel. In two or three weeks, when everything is settle, try an other kernel and see if you really needs it.

Like people that do not know anything about cars, bought an M3 and start making many so called "update"... and ruin the entire balance of the car... to really improve it, you need experience... :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naguz:
So because you haven't heard of the thousands of 1A USB chargers out there, that comes with almost every other phone today, something is a joke? ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Frozenthunder:
You can even hook up a 100A charger, the phone will still only pull out 650ma at max. I=U/R. It's that simple.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Absolutely correct. Simply a build in limit of the chipset in the i9100. Faster loading is a placebo. Just like 75% of the other speed/battery/whatever improvements when switching kernels :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naguz:
Aha, from what you wrote, " you CAN'T get 700mah out of the charger" I naturally assumed the charger was the problem, and that you were referring to the Samsung charger that came with the device, which is rated at 700mah. If the phone itself won't draw more than 700mah from any charger, it's a different story. No point in setting a value that the charger IC limits anyway.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Frozenthunder:
Not sure what you mean. You just can't get past those 650ma. No matter what charger.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] naguz:
I edited my post to clarify. You wrote it as if the charger was the problem. (Or i understood it hat way - "the charger" vs. "a/any charger". When the phone won't draw more than 650mah anyway from any charger, there is of course no reaon to be able to set a higher value that has no effect.

Does this mean there is no pt in switching/hunting for a good kernel? 'cause basically all kernels are the same? :confused:then y ppl still spend so much time developing kernels?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
It's not that simple of course :p Some kernels also offer additional settings which might benefit in some circumstances.

But when people use kernel X and say "my battery life is amazing" it's usually something that can also be achieved by using the same settings/governor and kernel Y. Magical kernels really do not exist.

When kernel X has a longer battery life it will usually be a bit less smooth, a bit less fast or people have adjusted other things to get to that point. Which would also have been possible with another kernel. Going from 3 hours screen-on time to something like 6 hours by just switching kernels and doing nothing settings-wise is impossible.

But this is just an opinion of course, read the mega enthusiastic remarks on the kernel forums and decide for yourself :angel:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Frozenthunder:
In my opinion there barely is a difference and most features are almost useless. But for some reason some people like those kernels and donate money, so as their developer I'd of course keep developing like that...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Honusnap:
Search the thread, there is already a response to this question. This is certainly caused by the new google apps system, you should enable my location source.

If you do not find nothing ... it prove that you've found something .. ! ;)

Agreed with all that

Some people believe in ghosts, in water cars, in Elvis being alive... etc. I do not buy these kind of things. There is no magic kernel BUT some got special abilities.

Wow man, this v9 rom is as smooth as vanilla custard. Awesome bro, you did a lot of work on this one and it shows. No issues whatsoever after following basic directions. I am using NELP2 modem with this rom of yours and it is cruising like a raptor, super fast data speeds, I dunno why, must be modem was made for this rom and with siyah it just forms a perfect bond. Flashed older gapps ics and I also got gmail now. Thank you very much bro this is in a class of its own. And the aroma installer is just stunning. Now to get back to my themes, got to wax this for this rom, will pass it on to you first for approval and use it as you wish. Shweet.

Press menu, settings, system, status bar, battery status style. Bro, you need to play with your rom and have fun, just cruising through settings you will find it easy. First try before posting, imagine a thousand people posted a question like this, there would be chayos in the forum and nobody would be interested in going through the chaos to find a golden bit of advice. Seek and you will find, press buttons and you will see what they do.

Not the newest gapps, flash the one before that and you will also get gmail included.

Do Full Wipe

Yeh bro, I was also coming from hydros, do a full wipe trust me, I tried with no full wipe and the results where rather scary. And yes, when doing a full wipe it will help your battery in terms of clearing old stuff that this rom dont use on sd card, most notably make certain you wipe that dcim folder and the 100andro etc. The battery is about the same as Hydro but with more themes running on this rom I would have thought the battery would be worse but it is not, actually it is perfect, deep sleep when you want it to and work like a dog when you tell it to.
