OK I am new to SII, I just got it last week and already flashed over half-dozen roms :)

I really like this rom !

I tried over 6 other roms already but keep coming back to this :)

Thanks Faryaab

However... have a minor issue, my carrier name appears duplicated in the lockscreen & status notification bar:

I mean my SIM carrier is from Alfa (a local telecom operator)

Instead of seeing only the USUAL word "Alfa" on the lockscreen & notification bar, it shows exactly:

"Alfa | alfa"

I mean its no big deal but it is really bugging me: anyway to fix that????

Another thing, is there anyway to disable the notification bar from sliding down when the lockscreen is active??!

thanks in advance guys

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED GUYS WHEN SET UP PROPER APN, AS FOR THE LOCKSCREEN NOTIFICATION - IT SEEMS THAT'S A NATIVE ICS ISSUE

Awesome rom !! Jellybean port from nexus leak ?

Hi .. first of all awesome work bringing the no-nonsense beauty of pure google android experience to our device, exactly the way it should be (barring some minor useful tweaks :P)

I was really interested when I saw that Bigxie have already created a rooted,deodexed and fully working Jellybean port on Gnex and so I was thinking as this rom is also based on same source code.. it shouldn't be very hard to port that one too..

Whatsay ??

Anyways link to Bigxie's rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737849

Faryaab has already got jelly bean running on his sgs3 ... but whether he'll get it to this is a matter of time

He may be concentrating more on his sgs3 builds
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OnePhantom:
Jelly Bean Update

Seeing as this is a pure galaxy nexus experience, I should think a Jelly Bean port is inevitable. I hope so anyway. Already keeping my eye out for JB ROMS but will stick with this if I can.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
I'm sure Faryaab won't forget about us
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OnePhantom:
Hopefully our subtle plea's will hit home. ;)

clockE=shishirasm;27250851]Hey faryaab, u told dat u would be adding AM/PM besides d clock for 12h format... i guess it didnt happen???[/QUOTE]

Yeah i need that a looot

I know it's not a major issue but i really need that

Can anyone help with a flashable mod or add-on or even a fix....???

Thanks i advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Erlanderterv:
Try Digi Clock in Play Store.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Toxic17:
Development will take a back seat, since he has a new toy. its happened in the past and will always happen again. Developers more on to new things.

I've now moved to CyanogenMod CM9 since they are finalising the CM9 Project with release candidates now. Hopefully a CM10 perhaps could come about once 4.1 is ported over ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] akhil7j:
How to go back to stock? Battery is draining to fast now..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sam razzy:
CM10 project will start when JELLY BEAN SOURCE out... ;)

sent from TapaTalk

Rom: PARANOIDANDROID phone mode v1.5a

Kernel: Dorimanx Kernel 3.8v ... Best on my Galaxy s II

GOOGLE EVERYTHING
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OnePhantom:
Just flash your Clockwork Mod backup that you would have made before flashing the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] akhil7j:
Oops. I didn't made that backup. Any other way? Which offical ROM i should flash to bring it back to stock.?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
Don't you know what ROM you had before?. Depending what you want. If you want the last Samsung official one for you country it's: PDA XWLP7 / CSC ODDLP9.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
Just flash the official stock Rom for your region...it really isn't rocket science
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hikarugo:
Galaxy nexus now gets the JB update.

Hopefully if this is pure galaxy nexus experience, it will get updates of JB too, just like the galaxy nexus itself :p

Just kidding though.

Nice ROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OnePhantom:
There's a lesson in here somewhere...follow Zony's advice and then make sure you start making back ups. That's like THE most important thing to do when flashing ROMs.

Don't go in blind.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishirasm:
Guys, I don't think faryaab will update this to jelly bean until cyanogenmod team or teamhacksung do some progress... since he has much to port to his s3, I don't think he's goin to update this Rom anytime soon...

It's time to move on to cyanogenmod release candidates... it's very stable now... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hikarugo:
Ports are useless. Those works are waste of time by the time google releases the source code because they'll start it from scratch again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishirasm:
Oh yeah, What would u do if somebody port jelly bean for ur galaxy s2 right now !!! ??? U definitely flash it now won't u???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
Faryaab said to me on Twitter he's gonna wait for source to be released
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishirasm:
Yeah but, I think just source code won't help... his work is based on teamhacksung & cm team... so unless they make any progress, he can't update this rom...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
You know he's also part of aokp so...that gonna help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishirasm:
Yeah... Lets hope we get ourselves an awesome jelly bean like this...

Why I can't see my external SD card content through file manager ?

I can see my movies n' photos through Gallery but when I try to see my files I only see sdcard content - the external_sd file is empty.

Why there isn't sound when I play an mkv file with stock player ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Look in mnt/emmc file.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ayosopov:
Thanks.

Why there isn't sound when I play an mkv file with stock player ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
Is the file format supported... have you tried another player to test.

Check these then come back

[Galaxy S II Android Development] OnePhantom:
Just been reading about the CM9 installation out of curiosity. How come we never had to worry about ICS bootloaders lower than LPH like CM9 does? I don't know how I'd know what bootloader version I was running anyway. Jut curious as to how the installation differs even though this is based on CM9 code?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ayosopov:
Those mkv files works smoothly with the previously rom

I try with MX Player and the sound works...only when I change that the audio track will work through S/W

When I run the file and it ran from the beginning the sound works fine but if I skip forward I hear white noise...

I looked at the properties of the file:

When I run the file from the beginning

Codec : ATSC A/52(AC-3)
Sample Rate : 4800 Hz
Channels : Stereo
Bit Rate : 384.0 Kbits/sec

When I skip forward

Codec : ATSC A/52(AC-3)
Sample Rate : 4800 Hz
Channels : 5.1
Bit Rate : 384.0 Kbits/sec

I don't know why but I have this white noise problem only with Game of Thrones 720p files...I play House 720p without any problem

So I check those files with DicePlayer that can handle with 5.1 channel and now I can skip forward...

But why the stock player can't handle with the audio track?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
Well I would assume it needs codecs to play the file...

Maybe with other roms they are included...I'm not too sure.

A dedicated mkv player might be worth looking for.

Or find out if codecs can be added to file system

Edit:

Looking at this table http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

Mkv isn't default as this is based primarily on aosp chances are extra codecs aren't added. Other non aosp roms may support...

This is all just speculation though
[Galaxy S II Android Development] illmatic24:
The best ICS Rom experience on the i9100 by far. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NickDais:
And last question I hope...

Can I make files with my apps inside the menu and not only the home screen?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mistxx:
Just tested this APK.... unfortunately its a no no... copied it to the system/app folder and rebooted the phone... still doesn't show

Guess as that thread quoted it will only work on a Samsung Odexed ROM.... guess its not gonna happen for me (which is a shame, I love AllShare!)

Unless anyone can think of a way to get it to work on deodexed ROMS?

Cheers

will have to keep looking about for ya! ... it MUST be available!

Show Virgin Mobile

Hi, Faryaab

Can you make your rom tell if its Virgin Mobile Canada or not?

It works with Stock roms but when I install yours or cyanogenmod it shows up as the digits or Bell.

I'm worried about using this rom on my device because i might get roaming overage charges.

I'd love to try using this rom to see how it is but very nervous with it not showing the correct carrier.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adamski123:
Anybody tried NEAK kernel on this rom? Thoughts? :)

Anyone running SiyahKernel with this ROM?

Does it has good performance with it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:

although this is quite a lightweight rom so i would expect this rom to run smooth on most kernels..

using siyah so i can dual boot to test various things at a time

Is anyone else having problems with creating a facebook account in order to sync contacts??

I have installed the official app but i didn't get the usual contact sync option after my first login. When I attempt to manually add an account through the 'Accounts & Sync' option, it lists Facebook as an option but absolutely nothing happens upon clicking it.

Any advice? I'm not sure if it's an app or rom issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adamski123:
Its a well known issue with ics. U can get apps to sync from the market :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
i believe this is an issue between google and Facebook :s

appears to be a problem on all aosp and aokp...people are recommending HaxSync, but you have to pay for that.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] zee54:
That's a shame, it used to work fine on the official samsung ics touchwiz releases.

Thanks ZonyX, i'll give that app a try :)

Also is it just me or are there very few stock android widgets?? For example, I'm sure they Galaxy Nexus has more than 1 clock widget!?

It is my first time venturing off of stock samsung ROMs so I'm getting used to what was stock android and what was touchwiz add-ons.

I totally hate the stock android music app. What music apps are you guys using?

I'm currently tying out doubletwist and poweramp. I want a nice app which allows me to conveniently create playlists and has a nice lockscreen widget ... I was a big fan of samsung's music app, so something very similar would be ideal.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] liquidvampz:
awesomesauce! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishirasm:
What I know is, Samsung's stock rom uses hardware codecs from divx & others, for decoding (u can see in about phone->licences in stock rom)... hence all the videos in stock player play in a fabulous way... but, samsung won't release the source code for others to use... so, even though we have the hardware we can't use it in these roms... so we have to depend on mx player & others with s/w decode... if the games having mkv format videos, unfortunately it won't be played... This is a huge draw back of custom roms...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Faryaab:
Guys I have not abandoned this ROM. I'm making a new project with the same idea of Pureness but with the intention of making it available on many many devices. That's why it's taking longer, I hope you guys will understand. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chef_Tony:
that was rather vague. the questions on everyone's minds are:

- will there be a new build of the current rom (maybe a final one to fix the last few bugs)?

- will you start working on JB, once the sources are out (mid-july from what i understand)?

no pressure, take your time, until now you always released a working product rather than something half baked just to be fast, and i admire that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Faryaab:
1st Question's answer: No, There will not be a upgrade for this ROM but a new project is in the works with the same idea.

2nd Question's answer: Yes, As soon as Jelly Bean sources release I will start working on Jelly Bean.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WarriorZ:
Great ROM

This ROM is very lightly and has a great life of battery. I just moved out from stock ROM to this ROM.

Thanks for creating this light rom :)

Just curious, why the camera feature has a bit less than stock ROM ? I think camera from the stock ROM is better
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
The extra features are what Samsung add... they are a Samsung feature not a Google feature

Battery life in B5

@ Faryaab

this ROM is awesome; no complains except one thing … BATTERY DRAIN !!!!

This topic have been widely discussed by several people in this thread; so Summary of everything:

In B4 Battery is Good :good:, BUT in B5 Battery sucks!! :confused:

Can you fix that??? if yes, please when?? :fingers-crossed:

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
Unfortunately...... Could you have a look at Faaryab's "1st question's answer" on the post up - there will be no upgrades.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gkassar:
hmmm ... i considered that battery issue as a hot-fix as it was not a prob with previous builds...

I hope he mean bh upgrade a B6 and not only a simple fix
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
I hope so too. Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WarriorZ:
ooh. I see.. I just missed the camera feature from stock ROM ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
If you check a couple of post back farya a b said this won't be upgraded as he will be doing something else
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
This is what I exactly answered gkassar. But it's worth to hope, isn't it? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davegermiquet:
you should lock the thread

You should lock the thread since this is a discontinued rom :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gkassar:
If so, i agree, i am affraid it must b locked...

And here's go the hunt for another good rom again :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
You can try and get the source from faryaab and his git... and then build on it

@Faryaab, I know you said you won't update this Rom. As sad as I'm I know you will make something even better. So when you do, please link the new Rom in this thread just so we know where to be when you have something new. Could you do that for us ?

Helpses!!! Cant install the rom. It says that it cant open the zip in cwm. I did everything as told in the instructions. Wiped cache more than twice... Still same error...

Me wants this rom badly!

Edit: is it somehow possible to install this rom via odin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
Flashed all versions and had no problems. BTW what Recovery are you using: stock or custom like CWM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] playerx95:
CWM Recovery

It the first time for me with such a problem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
There is no odin .tar version of this rom. Maybe your .zip file is corrupted. Download it again and try flashing following installation instruction from begining of this thread.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] playerx95:
ooookay ?!

Alright - i installed the rom and (maybe gapps as well - CWM recovery tells me

that its installed, but since i don't know whats inside the .zip and i installed google play store seperatly - i don't see any other new installed apps ...

to the important buissnes ... i used litening rom since day one - now switched to this rom and im kinda wondering .... WTF HAPPEND?

1. Why aren't there Icons in the notification bar??? (Wlan, gps, bluetooth,...) - the only thing i see is an icon that leads me to the settings and the current date. please don't tell me i need jkay deluxe for that D:

2. where the hell is the memo app from google?

3. why isnt the calcucaltor showing a history if theres an option 'delete history'?

4. Where is the task manager???

5. Am i to stupid to find the vibrating settings??? i want to lower down te vibration...

6. Where did all the Wigets go? digital clock and some other stuff missing...

Me confused :S
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
**** sake

You haven't got a clue... if you want all them features you're in the wrong Rom

1. Notification toggles... hold the settings button.. this Rom is meant to be like a nexus... which doesn't have toggles.

2.what memo app from Google.. haven't seen them do one.

3.this isn't a feature on aosp stock

4. See above

5.no vibration setting also NOT IN aosp... try a different kernel which slow vibration control..and yes you are stupid

6. Widgets are all what you would get on a stock nexus.

Most of the features you want aren't stock...

Would've thought you would check this before going to an aosp Rom..

Also lite ning Rom is Samsung based so has Samsung features this.... ISN'T

For some reason, my external SD card is empty. When I connect the phone via USB, I do see all my stuff inside the externalSD, but somehow, they don't show it when I explore it from the phone. Is there any way to work around that? My SD card is a 32GB one, and it seems stupid to not use it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
1. Yes, it's normal. I am using ES File Exporer.

2. Did you look in /mnt/emmc/ folder ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Logarithms:
Thank you! It worked!

For those who had the same questions and happened to have been wondering how to access this /mnt/emmc/folder from ES File Explorer.

Go to settings and enable "Up to Root". After that, just click the "up" icon from the file list view and search for said path.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] a340:
Probably a dumb question....

Is it possible to remove root and keep everything else as it is?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
I'm not sure what's a solution for unrooting when on CM default kernel, but it's easy when you are on Siyah kernel like me. You just open ExTweaks app go to "misc/Remove root" and uncheck "Auto-install root", reboot and it's done. Maybe you would try and install Siyah?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] a340:
Thanks Many40. I'll look into Siyah kernel.
