[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _JKay_:
Maybe you are right... It turned out to be too much work... I have to narrow it down and focus... this way I can also spend the time on making it better instead of spending time on porting it again and again..

I wanted this framework on as many roms and devices as possible... trying to please everybody... I guess it's impossible...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zscomp:
My opinion is that the dev must support the app and he must develop the app to match current android version.

The application is advertised as HOW THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 SHOULD BE.

"Bought it for S2, want support for S2.Samsung upgraded my phone to 4.0.4, so i expect the app i paid, to support the new android version for S2."

"I bought it for S2 and i DONT care for other phones" (S3 version).

This is the view of a customer.

From a non customer view now, but from someone who knows jkay's work, this was expected.

He is a person alone trying to do his best, covering a lot of different firmwares and now a new device.

Its very hard to keep up, trying to fill everyone's needs.

But in the end its not a free app anymore and people have expectations for the version they bought (S2).

I think jkay must reconsider his priorities.

That's how i see it.

*I use gingerbread 2.3.6 (deluxe settings is free :cool:) as i believe this is the best OS for the phone, so all this "trouble" doesnt touch me :p

I also want to spank all these abusive guys!

If you think he is wrong, well at least have manners and do it polite.

Abusive is not getting you anywhere except giving more frustration to jkay (and to us).

Peace :angel:

DELUXE SETTINGS (along with titanium backup) IS THE BEST APPLICATION EVER MADE FOR S2!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Brendo:
You guys missing the point. The only thing paid for is something to alter the settings. The framework (the main thing) is free. The app changes the settings of the framework - every framework released so far. Therefore it does it exactly what it is meant to do

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] egps2:
Hi JKay I hope you can understand that any unhappiness here is a direct reflection of people's appreciation of your work but I think the biggest issue here is an expectation that future roms will be supported when no guarantee is made. I know you have made it clear to some and when I installed the deluxe settings app I knew that future support was not a certainty but I think this needs to be made more clear on the paid app settings which really does not indicate this well enough and I am saying this as your supporter.

If you in bold clearly state something like "Warning: not all firmware versions are supported and system updates may break support for Jkay. Purchase of this app is appreciated but in no way guarantees future development" then everyone will clearly understand what the situation is. Your point of view that $2 is not enough to force you to develop for all firmware versions is fair enough and I respect that but this must be made clear to everyone. Many people may be thinking "JKAY WILL update to future roms quickly and I want to make that a certainty by paying $2" because not enough has been to counter this belief no matter how unreasonable it is.

I hope you understand that I say this to help and just wish it was made more clear so that people can purchase your excellent app with FULL disclosure as currently the description does almost nothing to prevent people making this honest mistake again and again!

This just reiterates some of what pikachu01 and others have said but I believe it is important to be made clear.

As always thank you for your hard work and dedication!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
I really don't get why so much people are whining because there isn't a 4.0.4 version. The app description in the Play Store clearly points at the TS in this topic. In this TS there are a dozen or so ROMs that are supported by the framework (and thus give use to the app). EVERYONE that bought the app has his own responsibility to read and learn if his or her ROM is supported.

So you bought an app that gives more options to your ROM. And it works great. And if any problems should occur, there is this topic and the developer who, in most cases, comes to the rescue in several hours, which is very fast (ever sent a help request to a developer in the app store? Most of them don't even bother to reply...). In my opinion this is where the responsibility of an app developer ends. You knew what version of a ROM (framework actually) the app would work on and the dev supports this version.

Now Samsung releases a newer firmware version with minor changes. Most ROM builders upgrade their ROMs to this newer version. But where do you people read that you MUST upgrade your working setup? Who is pointing a gun at your head and threatens to pull the trigger if you do not install the latest version of any ROM? And if you do decide to upgrade to a newer ROM version, then you would also know that there is always the possibility that one or more apps, even paid apps, might not work on this newer firmware.

You cannot demand from every developer that he instantly puts his day job and his personal life on hold and starts developing a working version. In the case of the Jkay Framework you even knew (or could have easily learned) it wouldn't work on 4.0.4 before you installed it , right?! And yet you still went on and upgraded to version 4.0.4?! I think this was a choice you made for yourself, and not a choice or demand from any dev!

Best part is still to come: Jkay has shared us his 'to do list':

Now: S3, planning: several weeks

After S3: back to S2!! What? That former flagship? The not-anymore-king of Smartphone Land? Yes, to that older phone!

Now why would any developer that doesn't even use that phone anymore, because he owns a Note and a S3, be willing to sacrifice more of his personal, free and family time, to create new versions for that phone? Answer: because Jkay is dedicated to his work and he gives in to the constant whining of some S2 users. Give the man some credit for that!!

Moral of this (too long) post: You are not in the position to make demands. The dev decides what phones and firmware he supports. If you think that is unfair, you're always welcome to develop something yourself!

My 2 cents.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Goldie:
I would think selling some more apps would figure in there somewhere as well as your answer. Sacrificing time ceases to be a sacrifice when a paid item is involved. It becomes a job. Just my opinion

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
I think this thread is slowly delving into a fanboy rage war. I still stand by the point that purchasers can be mislead to believing that future releases will be supported (hence the complaint).

The app only points that it supports the framework created by JKay for a few ROMs, but never mentions that future releases will (or will not) be supported. Putting a warning in there would suffice.

It's the same thing with any app out there (even free ones). If you're offering a service or software, care must be taken to not mislead the customer (especially paying customers) of how future support will be taken care of.

If Windows 8 will only support Ivybridge and Sandybridge and not future versions of Intel's CPU, I am sure that a lot of angry Microsoft customers will be banging tables everywhere about this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fatjivi:
Jkay I believe u should not try to please everyone...this will only cause problems for u...u don't c people releasing custom ROM of every type...wanam and neat ROMs r very selective...that way they are able to update quickly also and don't have to go through extreme pains like u do...I believe u r over taxing urself jkay...in my humble opinion u should narrow down ur mod support to only the popular ROMs...u don't owe anyone anything...just do what makes u feel happy

Can we guys focus more on technical aspects of jkay Deluxe framework in this thread? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Namoi:
True, and mostly because those didcussions are in fact taking place in a thread of a FREE app. Indeed the framework is free. There's another thread concerning the paid Deluxe Settings app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
I think there's a big misconception at least in my view about the "purchase".

I've always faced the app purchase on the store as a convenient way both for me to donate to JKay, and for him to provide that extra customization functionality to the people that support him, without having to track himself by hand who has donated, who should be emailed download links, etc.

I don't see myself as a "customer" in the usual sense of the term, with the assumed rights for eternal support or whatever.

If people really think that $2.5 will grant them the right to demand support for every rom that comes out whenever there's an OMG new build from latin america MUST have it, there's really something wrong.

You folks don't have a clue about the amount of work this implies, do you? XDA is not really a "XDA

Developers

" but more of a legion of people squeezing the living hell out of a minority of developers :(

And, sorry for stating it, the worst part is the ungratefulness and attitude of entitlement. This is not exclusive to JKay if you have been around for some time. Pretty much every new release of whatever is shared is followed by comments like "Great stuff, you're a God!!! But when are you doing XYZ?

We

need it badly". Really !?

I'm not an app developer (just code some small stuff every now and then), but I really understand JKay's comments about the negative motivation all these kind of complains cause. It's something done with a lot of effort (make no mistake about this), after every tiresome day of actual work, for sure, and the fact that it's "for sale on the store" should not be seen as an actual free pass for the kind of comments I see - "refund if such and such", ...

This should be seen as a "donation version" IMO and I agree with pika that perhaps the only thing JKay could improve, with the things he learned over the recent times, is a more clear message that it's up to you to see what is supported, what *might* be supported in the (not immediate) future, and based on that you can either donate in that convenient way, stick to the

free

framework with the default options, or use something else altogether - or even do it yourself, of course.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
JKay said he will only release for stock official ROMs.

Most if not all official ROMs through Kies are 4.0.3. For me, LPG is perfect.

Maybe we should start reporting to a mod these kind of posts.

@JKay: take your time, and family comes at first place. If you stop it all, you would have already gave us a nice time to enjoy the phone. So, do not worry, we would all survive it :)

Also, better ignore and not respond to these posts. At maximum, report them. They are assholes that will never be happy or even say thank you.

At your place, if you do it for JB, I would make it 5 USD minimum, donate version + no guaranty for any further rom support + New buy for all, even those who already got the app for 4.0.3. JB is a major update. Adobe, MS... does this for +1000 USD apps, after one year and sometimes less...

So, you are free to do what you want with your app and you are the only one that decides how much it should cost and how long it would be supported. You're the dev.

Maybe let the thread go ahead and take your time for what you are making.

XWLPI Issue

Anyone else having this problem or just me? I have used JKay on several Sammy based ROMs without issue, but I recently went back to stock Three XWLPI from samfirmware

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=H3G&os=1&type=1#firmware

and then rooted with chainfires kernel. No other customisations other than this.

I downloaded XWLPI framework from JKay, flased in CWM and am missing the status bar at the top of the phone... Flashing the restore file gives the same effect so back to the nandroid backup...

Just wondering if I'm doing something really daft here.... Not had any problems before
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Many40:
Did you use proper framework for your rom (odexed one for stock sammy roms)?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] raglits:
Yes, and just in case, I even tried the de-odexed version... that one didn't boot :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Many40:
Strange, if you search this thread nobody reported this kind of problem. The link you posted directs to a branded version of XWLPI. I'm not sure but even it's still XWLPI PDA, there might be some GSM provider's modifications implemented causing the issues. Have you tried pure/unbranded stock XWLPI with jkay?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spannaa:
The Three firmware should be OK with JKay XWLPI odexed - there's a post here that implies as much.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ciprianruse88:
Maybe you didn't folow the steps right
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] apoc:
Actually I wouldn't do that right now cos it's not wise to change rules during the game. Anyone who already bought it, bought it according to old rules. I'm sure there are nasty people out there who could use it against JKay just for having fun and according to law they would be right. Sorry for my digression. Let's focus again on other and more technical stuff:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] raglits:
Followed the same steps as with other firmware levels, even came back and opened the thread to make sure I was doing this right...

May just go back to a different base...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _JKay_:
Im running xwlpi myself. I can upload version 14.1.3. Maybe that works better for you.

It fixes a few of the known bugs like : Clear button FCs SystemUI. Lockscreen rotation now follows auto-rotation setting and also a new keyboard layout for the pin lock screen. Where the OK button has been removed when using fast unlock.

Update: ok... JKay v14.1.3 for xwlpi has been uploaded. Try it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] raglits:
Downloading now, I did get this working with the previous version last night by unrooting and using the CWM.zip instead of the CWM that came with cf-root and it worked... Not sure if there's an issue with the cf-root recovery or it was just me being thick...

Will update to the new version anyway. Thanks for the upload :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iovaniorgovan:
Jkay, why don't you involve other people in porting your work to new versions of roms as sammy releases them? I know there will be some training involved, but sooner or later you might end up with a Gooogle/Microsoft like corporation.

So, is there a list with supported modems? I kind of have a problem with l2_hsic wakelock and seems related to modem, want to change it, but still want to have ASU working so would like to have such a list. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spannaa:
I don't think there's a list but I've found I9100XXLPX to be the best so far and the ASU level works with it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] monster007:
is it compatible with JPLPC ICS Rom ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spannaa:
Unfortunately not.

The compatible roms are XWLPI/G/F/D/9/8/7, XXLPW/S & UHLPS
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] _JKay_:
Thanks... been thinking about how to go about that.... It has been tried before but not with great results... The problem was that many of the ports had bugs.. not because of my framework but because of bad porting.... This resulted in me spending a lot of my time trying to fix these bugs...that I didn't create! And another problem is that I keep adding new features to my framework... so by the time the framework was finally ported I had a new version out already... making the ported ones too old and obsolete...

I'm thinking of releasing a test version of Settings.apk where all modems would show the ASU levels... it would be very experimental though...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tuniel:
brightness level

Hi Jkay,

i have a "feature" :) that is bugging me.

i have stock LPG + your framework and deluxe setting. when i enable the auto-brightness and change luminosity condition the panel updates itself, while the sliding bar doesn't.

i actually figured out the problem is not in your framework, but probably in the kernel (i'm using syiah now), or better, it's the combo of my rom/kernel and possibly data.

i tried rolling back to stock kernel and using CF-root and the sliding bar updates correctly, but on syiah doesn't.

Now, i don't want you to fix others (possibly) bugs, but do you have any idea on what i could look at?

thanks in advance if you answer, thanks anyway if you don't :)

p.s. i already posted in Siyah's thread, even though Many40 helped, we could't sort the thing out...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
That's the part that stopped me trying it too. Hopefully, thanks to the time i spare from useless rom updates (stick to last jkay mod) , i am now finish with kernel unpack and now learning the mod of initramfs

So, unhappy people, just try to learn how to do it your self in that time...

PS: i now understand how much this scripting challenge is a full time job...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gr8hairy1:
Old rules? All I remember Jkay ever saying is people can request a base for him to work on, and depending on the want, he'd work on it when he had time.

And how ignorant are you people? - miqueasgl, tatoone, durangatang, BAWS, pilotn, spaxx24, and others with their backhanded compliments. There are free apps and paid apps I've gotten that don't work on ics or jellybean. Do I get a refund? No, because I knew when I got the apps, it had to work only with my current setup, as Google Play only gives you 15 minutes to refund (think about that). Every single one of you paid for an app and got use from it. Your choice on changing your phone was your call. The app you bought, Deluxe Settings, still works.

And Deluxe Settings, what you PAID FOR, IS ALWAYS UP TO DATE. The purpose is to give more control over the 'free' framework Jkay develops. And as soon as new frameworks are added by Jkay, the app supports them. According to "the law", lol, this app does exactly what it was advertised to do on Google Play.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hawkerpaul:
On this subject JKay, have you given any more thought onto adding an average signal strength to your framework?

I think this would be a fantastic addition and would allow a lot of guess-work to be taken out when trying out various modems.

Cheers

Neme77 (OlloSII CrEaTuRe developer) has send An email To You asking your permission for integrate your framework on his Last work based XWLPU 4.0.4 But he doesn't received any answer. Why don't try To contact neme77 that's he can help You?

Inviato con la Topa Parlante
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
JKay already said that anyone interested to port can do it his self. Integration in custom roms is allowed as soon as the Deluxe Settings app is not spread, as it is the only payed part.

So, Neme77 can integrate it as he wants (unpack, compare changes and try to guess how to adapt them to 4.0.4). Since JKay said the changes are important, this would be rather tricky I guess

As soon as he releases one, let him post it and we will beta test it :good:

From the feedback so far, it's working both on XWLP9 and XWLPD, although I don't know the original file for LPD.

BTW, since you're probably installing all sets of ROMs, could you check the original md5's and let me know if you find any different versions? I could apply the same fix there and since you already have a separate framework for each version, it could be delivered with the right fix. It's likely that this single fixed lib will work with every version, if no APIs have been changed, but some stock changes could be lost and it could go easily unnoticed.

Sorry if I wasn't sufficiently clear before. This is only for stock ROMs. CM9 should already have this issue resolved in the latest builds; in fact, it was in its source code that I fetched the fix from.

In addition to the lib replacement, do you have any mod installed to activate the CRT-Off effect? The file only fixes the flicker problem, it doesn't activate the effect by itself.
