Great ROM - been using it for quite some time and now using the latest built... excellent smooth performance

I have recently been having the odd reboots though - not just on this version but also on the last build - seems to have started happening from dual booting using Siyah about a month ago...Had F1 as my secondary ROM (moved from Primary while I tested another ROM) - started experiencing random reboots more and more common and also the lock screen freezing totally.

Since installing the latest build - I removed the 2nd ROM (using Siyah remove option) - wiped cache, wiped data, wiped dalvic and then installed the latest build so have the stock F1 kernel and clean install but I seem to still have the odd reboot and now the lockscreen seem to hang a fair bit also...

Any ideas whats causing it? - I don't mind starting from scratch again if needs be but wondering if I need to do some sort of format of the internal SD card? - would there be remnants of my dual booting left behind that could now cause these problems on the new ROM?

Cheers in advance

I've noticed when I first flash the ROM the background gradient is fine but when I then reboot it goes all liney again and I have to change the display setting in galaxy s2 settings from UI to Camera(default) to get the best smooth background.

Any idea why?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beston94:
Yet another top notch rom :D Expected nothing less from you!! Maybe it's just me but I think AOSP roms are generally faster roms. As in application open up faster and the loading time is less than AOKP. Probably due to the customizations installed on it which might actually slow the system down..

Seriously though, great rom mate :D Thanks for the hard work!

Anyone else having issues with Haxsync? I tried the facebook sync as built in and it works but with no photos. So tried Haxsync and it doesn't even sync.

This was all working on Build 4 but I really don't want to go back again.

Edit:

Just got this email from the Haxsync dev:

Facebook seems to have some kind of issue today, I've been getting tons of reports. I suggest you wait a day or two and try again then. I don't have access to my dev machine until monday, so let's hope Facebook fixes their API.

Cheers,

Mathias

So incase anyone else is having issues with FB today.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
I tell us whats working great for me... friendcaster ;) high res option as well
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ionutmd:
Have you tried the Ultimate Kernel cleaning script? I always do that after doing all the wipes and formats... never had any issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OnePhantom:
Can you use this purely for contact photos then and use the official Facebook app for everything else?

Edit:

Just tried Friendcaster and the images were al low res. I think something i sup with the FB API today so I'll give it a few days. At least I know it's not the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
U may need the pro version then :s

I have the option here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OnePhantom:
Oh no I had the option and it was ticked but still no dice. Hey ho.

I have been dual booting build 5 and my stock Samsung Rom with siyah kernel and am thinking about doing away with the stock ROM and just using build 5. I want to move build 5 to my primary rom and then flash it with the default cm kernel to remove siyah.

Is the default kernel available to download from anywhere?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ionutmd:
You could wipe cache, dalvik, flash Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script and then flash B5 without wiping data. that way you get B5 with the default kernel and keep your apps.

If no dice, a clean install is always the best bet. Using the Kernel cleaning script ensures a clean installation (after wiping everything and before flashing the ROM).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
With all respect to ionutmd, as far as I anderstood you, you have sammy stock rom as the 1st rom and F1 B5 rom as the 2nd rom, so to flash ICS 4.0.4 F1 GalaxyNexus B5 rom on 4.0.3 Sammy rom without wipping data is rather not recommended. Moreover I have never used Kernel cleaning script for fIashing new kernels - it was not necessary for me (even as far as I remember not recommended by Gokhanmoral). Currently I have very similar configuration as you have, so if I was you I would do following steps:

1. In CWM recovery make nandroid backup of 2nd rom (in dual-boot section)

2. Optionally, just for an emergency situation make backup of user apps/data (for example using TitaniumBackup)

3. In CWM recovery (in dual-boot section) choose remove 2nd rom

4. In CWM recovery choose wipe data/factory reset, cache and Dalvik

5. In CWM recovery install B5 rom .zip file downloaded from Faryaab's thread (which contains CM kernel)

6. In CWM recovery choose "backup/recovery" then "advance recovery" then choose your previously prepared nandroid backup, then choose recover data

7. Reboot

Happy if could help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ionutmd:
You are correct with these steps, but incorrect to assume I advised to flash a 4.0.4 on top of 4.0.3. From his post I assumed he knew already how to get rid of the second ROM and all he needed help with was to get the kernel on top of his 4.0.4 installation. That assumption stands after re-reading his post several times.

Re: Cleaning Script use, there are a few threads that describe how and why to use them. It is not a strictly necessary step, but something I choose to do to ensure the kernel flashed is clean (people that flash various kernels on top of a single ROM for testing have reported some bugs otherwise).

This could be a prime example why I do it:

Again, is something left to personal preference, that's why I started my post with "could".

BTW, I also choose to "fix permissions" after restoring old data. Again, not necessary, but could save you some FC's.

Just my 2 cents from my experience, your mileage may vary.

I wish him all the best with this; after all, the worst thing that can happen would be to have to reinstall all apps from scratch.

Respect.

PS. Sorry about the way I quoted mistxx, but I have not figured it out yet how to insert multiple different quotes in the same post. I'll work on it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] seancyril:
Thanks for your help guys.Yes originally I was hoping just to flash the stock kernel over build 5 after moving it from secondary to primary Rom. Purely to save myself the trouble of having to reinstall everything. I will try and flash build 5 as my primary Rom and then restore my apps from nandroid backup from cwm. I'm not sure how to fix permissions as suggested in previous post but will look into it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mistxx:
Hey no problem.. all advice is possibly helpful!

For the record.. i DID use the cleaning script on this occasion as mention and so far I've had no reboots or lockscreen hanging so there could be some truth in the fact that in "some" instances the script can correct some issues since dual booting

I literally wiped partition, dalvic cache and ran the script.. didn't wipe data.. seems ok so far so thank you very much!!

Will report back later today to confirm the issues are fully resolved

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
Thanks for the explanation. Agree, kernel cleaning script and "Fix permissions" might be helpful for someone in some cases, but normally wipe cache and Dalvik should be sufficient for kernel flashing and additionally wipe data if flashing a new rom. BTW, to quote multiple posts just click on "MULTI-QUOTE" button" of all posts you need and then just "QUOTE" of one of them. :) Regards and have a nice day.

I know, I flashed it through CWM but cant see the equalizer anywhere...there is one in My RazR... :)

To be honest, Ice Cream Sandwich doesn't need Beats. The drivers that come included are superior anyway in my opinion.

Add in Voodoo sound, which tweaks the DAC directly and you're away.

Just another idea for your Rom.

Google released a Braille version of their logo a while back. I think it looks great.

Of course it would be your desired rom name instead.

the first link for the mod does not come with a EQ app...so your friend cant have it with that mod.

1. Does this ROM support RTL?

2. Does this ROM has the ability to adjust the brightness by sliding my finger,I mean to At the top of the screen, by long pressing that notification bar for a second, then you can swipe it to the LEFT to Decrease and by swiping it to Right will Increase the screen brightness.

3. Does this ROM works well with the battery?

4. Does this ROM support TV-OUT(MHL)?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
1. dont believe so

2. no

3. yes

4. dont think so, but neither does cm9/aokp atm

lockscreen wallpaper??

Hey great rom! Really just like Galaxy Nexus. But does anyone know if there's a way to change the lockscreen wallpaper?? Or a lockscreen mod that I can flash or something?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mistxx:
Update..

Phone seems to be working better - no reboots since I used the cleaning script but I have experienced one single screen lock hang although it did recover after waiting about 20 seconds... I have a pattern unlock set on the phone and although putting the pattern in the screen simply remained on lock - as if it was frozen.. I have a feeling its linked to deep sleep as it seemed all come alive as soon as the wifi reconnected...

Guess I may need to do a totally clean format of the system

So question, if I wanted to start again from scratch - clean the whole system including all the remains of various apps I've had in the past leaving folder behind.... I'm thinking I need to use a .PIT file through Odin and flash to clean the system... but with that I would need to flash a stock ROM via ODIN.... then root and install F1 again.... is there any easier way?

Cheers

Installed B5 two days ago. Today was the first day of normal use. And the battery usage is simply awesome and the best I have ever had on my SGS2. I'm at 13 hours of use at this time and the battery still has 84% left! That would be a lifetime of approximately 3 days! I will keep on testing this weekend till it's completely empty and then report back. But this is very, very promising!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] naturist:
I agree, no modding, no custom kernel, no OC/UC nothing. This ROM is just perfect for battery lovers and offcourse great performance. Now, I understood why people love original Nexus..coz of no bloatwares and good battery life.

I am planning to sell my GS2, and to buy Galaxy Nexus now. :D Till thn, I will enjoy this rom. Kudos to the developer for this idea.

It really takes away the concept of the Rom.

"Pure Galaxy Nexus experience".

CM9 or AOKP would be for you.

No undervolting. Just the ROM out of the box. No modding, no nothing. Occasional browsing, Flipboard, Facebook, downloading through Play Store and Whatsapp. Wifi constantly on. Screen brightness at a steady level. I will post a screen when it's almost empty. At this moment it is as following:

30 hours and 15 minutes. Now at 68% battery level. Screentime 6%. Wifi 14%. Standby 16%. Android OS 50%.

The lockscreen wallpaper will be changed whenever you change the wallpaper of your homescreen.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beston94:
I may be wrong, however I think he meant actually just changing the lock screen wallpaper without changing the home screen wallpaper.

That's not possible with this ROM without installing a third party app like widgetlocker for example.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] buzzboy:
Just make sure you do a full wipe before flashing.

Factory reset-Format system-Caches.

No, thanks. Going back to stock...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] miteshjesani:
wow that is amazing!

do you have the extended battery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] steford:
I regularly get 3-4 days no problem with the standard battery. I think B5 seems slightly more battery hungry though. Currently on 45% after 1d 22h (Screen 1hr 34m), Mob Standby (1d 13h), Android OS (57m)

I have brightness at about 40%, airplane mode 11PM-7AM via Timeriffic and use Battery Defender to manage wireless connectivity.

Wakelocks have disappeared with this ROM due, I assume, to the lack of bloat in the background.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] naveediftikhar:
I knw mate and ur right but users should be having an option thats y i wrote if faryaab or anyone else and provide cm9 theme chooser as an addon for ppl like me who love the rom but r tired of the blue black color scheme!

Faryaab,

Could we disable the lockscreen vibration? i think there was one mod done by wanam in his rom to disable the lockscreen vibration, maybe you can somehow compile a flashable file also. it would really be of great help. :)

Hmmm, and a thing more. maybe ZonyX can help as well, mate, can anyone of you extract the whistle tone in the sammy official rom? i really like that as my notification tone.

TIA,

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Michael2207:
There is my screenshot showing the battery usage. It's in Dutch, but you can obviously see how battery friendly B5 actually is. At first I wanted to wait with a screenshot till it reached 5%, but I really have to charge my phone now, since I'm going to a concert tonight and I don't want to be without my phone.

So currently 54 hours running, and still 28% left! That is simply awesome for me!
