[Galaxy S II Android Development] uppon2:
Before I begin, I would like to say I use both ROMs as I have 2 phones which I use daily. I can appreciate where you're coming from, sometimes it does feel that d4rk releases too early but he does state it is still in beta. Everything before 1.0 was Beta and everything after 1.3 is Alpha. He has even got "a" at the end of his releases. 1.5a for example. He did not mislead anybody. You have to remember that he is trying to please the users with getting releases out and the only way to grow is to release alpha/beta releases.

Without PAD: Per App Density and PAL: Per App Layout (Tablet/Hybrid Modes) to the users the ROM is just a glorified version of CM9 with some extra cherry picks that CM9 might not include. This may or may not make the ROM better. The whole reason Paranoid is so good is because of PAD/PAL.

I can also agree with you that his customer service is not the best lol - I have asked multiple questions that are never answered. The questions I have asked are not easy questions that are found in an FAQ however. So maybe he just can't be bothered thinking about new challenges that are only implicating a handful of users experience. He does however try to get to the bottom of a majority problem even if he doesn't respond well.

If Paranoid did not have PAD/PAL, I would have left it for RootBOX a very long time ago for use on both of my phones. I just find it hard to live without it. Hopefully AOKP begin incorporating PAD/PAL in to their releases (Which they did start doing until d4rk told them not to do it until it was more stable) I think now is a better time than ever for AOKP to seriously consider it. I'm very surprised CM9 haven't.

To summarise:

Both ROMs are fantastic for the look and feel. Paranoid has PAD/PAL RootBOX doesn't. Battery life is good on both but is clearly better on RootBOX.

In respect to thread support bajee11 is a fantastic person and has helped out a lot on XDA. I remember when me and him raised a baby together (Fluxi Kernel) ;) when this ROM was just a twinkle in his eye. I mean that in the least romantic way possible. He will always provides great support where d4rk might sometimes seem selfish and a bit lazy.

If you prefer stability and developer support while still retaining great features and battery life then use RootBOX

If you prefer CM9 and customisation over the look and feel of every single app including shapes and sizes, even if the final product is a bit buggy then use Paranoid

Why not Dual Boot both :)

I will continue to use both ROMs and if anything changes my opinion I will be sure to flap my fingers :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Thanks for the excellent review mate. It really reflects the reality of both roms. And of course, lets not forget about fluxi, I really think most xda users would never would of heard of fluxi if it weren't for you suggesting it to me and me testing it for everyone and translating xxtweaker. Really was an amazing discovery :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uppon2:
I was tipped off by a friend in Germany about Fluxi. His friend is apparently the creator. I had the first release just as it was put up on their site (German) - I used it for a few weeks and noticed battery+ then I came across your thread and decided to let you in on it :) - Now there are multiple threads about Fluxi and even one on XDA :D - It takes someone as dedicated as you to spread the word but I'm extremely glad you did
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ravermichl:
yes i changed it from always to never ... but the freezing happens no matter what setting i choose !

i try switching to sio scheduler since i'm now on cfq ... maybe that will help !

/edit: hehe... just as i wrote the post, it happend again.

so i switch on the screen and can't move the lockscreenbox ---> pressing on/off ---> shutdown menu popping up ---> still can't select anything, also the hardware buttons don't react and the screen turns off...that shows me, that the phone doens't recognize me doing anything than pressing on/off button.

--> pressed on/off again and voilay...phone reacts again and i can move the lockscreen box ;)

its not a big problem as long as the phone won't freeze completly, but it's still anoying :/

I think this is the problem: the Keep WiFi on during sleep as I did change it to Never too and experienced the Lock Screen freeze problem. It also happens when changed too to Only when Plugged. When I reverted back to Always the problem disappeared.. It has nothing to do with Gov or Scheduler.. just revert back to Always and it will be solved :)

Bajee could you look at this problem please.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DJCrapsody:
As above. I had lockscreen freeze problem when I changed it to Never.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Ill check it out, but I have a feeling this might be a kernel issue, since you guys say its wifi settings related.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluefa1con:
Lock screen issue is due to wifi driver in some kernel was fixed by team hacksung and other devs implemented it too
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ravermichl:
Ok... i'll try switching back to always; sadly this increases wakelocks :/

Great rom

Have come to this rom from Checkrom gingerbread and have to say I totally love it.. No problems as yet.. Took a little getting used to it but "wow" so many things you can do with it!!. Keep up the great work bajee!! I look forward to the future..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ipmanwck:
Tried some others but back again ;)

Hey Bajee,

Saw a few new updates etc which I wanted to try so not been on for a while.

Flashed the new Resurrection Remix with the jelly bean extras as wanted to see of course and wanted to let everyone on here know its still a bloody buggy rom ! Got duplicates everywhere so that will teach me !

Also tried CM9 RC1 as it is obviously extremely popular and well what a boring rom that is !

No Rom Control features . . . Seriously?

Anyway I am back with your superb rom and wish I didn't waste my time trying others but the temptation was too much when I saw the word jelly bean ;)

I will be compiling a list of suggestions and will post them in mods.

The rom is super and would really like to see some small additions like the incognito button in browser ;) few others but I will write them in the correct place.

If your thinking of flashing this rom I can say from testing loads that this is way better then RR and CM9 ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mjcook1984:
Has anyone got talk to work installed the dark theme when flashing and talk isn't there. Found an apk but it just keeps force closing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neerajganga:
push the default gtalk to system/app

and fix permission
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AvRS:
If it's just that addition you want in the browser then why not just extract the browser from CM9 or whichever ROM you used with it in and push it to /system/app with correct permissions? Saves waiting for any mods to be done if they're done.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kilometers4:
Have you tried the chrome browser from the play store? For me it's the best one, and it has incognito. (i don't think it has flash though, the only drawback)

Enjoy the rom

I might implement CM browser.. We'll see, not sure yet.

Glad you like it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uppon2:
1. ROM Control is an AOKP feature not CM9. All of the common settings for CM9 are under Settings>System.

2. Why leave your favourite ROM to "test" CM9. Oh and to trial RR because of the words Jelly Bean (especially since it is only features)

3. You do realise that AOKP is based on CM9 so for you to say that any ROM is "Way better" than another you might want to elaborate to less experienced users as to how you came to this conclusion. I do agree with you, I like some of the features of ROM Control, however CM9 has 80% of it spread throughout the settings.

4. I am not saying this to belittle you, I would just like to point out that without CM9 you wouldn't have AOKP. Both ROMs are fantastic and I wouldn't want you misleading anybody that was easily influenced :D By the way it's fine to try other ROMs - You don't need to make excuses. We still love you :)

The ICS Browser is fast and good ... but you can not upload any files or images.. (Manage attachments)

when clicking on the button to then add nothing happens ...

In my Opera will then open a window because of the memory ... where the files are or where I would like to upload ... if this resolved then would like to ....

I've had a small issue with clock widget.. the std one that's included in the rom. It doesn't update. Nor does the clock in the status bar. Like they are frozen. Fresh install. Alarms and everything else work fine.. so not sure what the issue is.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tghandour:
Bajee I have the same issue since 1.3 the clock in the Notification bar and the widget sometimes just stop updating exact time and freeze. Setting time in settings updates the time and keeps running for few hours and then freezes again!

I have Automatic Date and Time and Automatic Time Zone unchecked but still this problem happens when ticked.

Any idea?

Hi bajee11,

Just saw proposed version 1.5.

toggles

hi,

is there any way for me to go back and forth between the notification toggles that is in the aroma app?

thank you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
I flashed the latest RR and it's working fantastically for me did u not do a full wipe installation and follow faq.

There was the one bug for usb but there was a quick fix for that.

What problems did you have and be specific and i hope u reported them on the RR treads cause I hate when people flash and don't give constructive feedback. How else are developers supposed fix.

I think both RR and RootBOX are as good as each other and both have their strengths. :D

But I have too say bajee11 has achieved soo much in so little time and I'm intrigued and hooked to see where he takes this rom next. ;) Plus he doesn't all this without having his sg2 :D and there is something to be said about how active he is on the tread its refreshing for a developer to be so involved and is a welcome change.

His so active i believe he has a clone as it's not possible for one man to b doing all this in so many treads including RR.

The duplicates issue is present in all aokp even rootbox so i don't know what ur talking about. AOKP needs to fix this. It's an issue with the mount points and can be triggered when flashing new mods, kernels, updates and sometimes in recovery when cache and delvik are cleared.

I've wrote about thus and the solutions here which are universal for all aokp roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26662413

No developer has found a permanent fix yet.

Anyways I'm happy with both roms And am loyal to both and will protect both roms. If someone says anything about RootBOX in RR I will be on the case.

I can't believe I have duel boot and ive got aokp on both. It's bajee's fault for making RootBOX so good.

Main ROM : RR AOKP 2.5.2

2nd Rom : RootBOX 1.4

KERNEL :Siyah 3.3.2

Wallpaper picker?

Hi,

I just started using rootBOX and i love it so far, the only thing that is bothering me is the wallpaper changer.

It zooms in the image and it's impossible to crop it so that the entire image fits on the screen. For example if you try to set a lockscreen wallpaper or so on.

Is there any way to get another wallpaper changer app that works better?

Best regards,

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Howlbeck:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
No matter what image app you use to set lockscreens and wallpapers, etc... they will always crop a picture (zoom in or out) if that picture is not the default size already (meaning for lockscreen it has to be 480x800 or 960x800 for scrolling wallpaper).

If they are not those exact resolutions, ALL software will either have to crop them in a way so they fit... or save them to that size but they will be distorted (look stretched, etc).

Hello, thank you for this ROM.

I have a problem, Torq APK does not work ... longer someone has this problem!? greetings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ravermichl:
That problem occurs also in RR 2.4 ... i think they posted a solution.. but it's only a workaround... you have to uncheck "automatic time" under the clock settings and use an app like "clock sync" an set sync value to 6h e.g. :)

Also that problem doens't occur always... i had it in rootbox to, but after fresh install it was gone ...

maybe it's aokp related...

One rule.. Do not ask for etas. But the current Rootbox that is out now has lg launcher, and it's working great :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shadowblade330:
the integration thing could be a good idea but what happens if we want to try a different kernel other than fluxi and siyah will it get removed from the settings?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Good question, I'd have to test that out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AvRS:
If you add them as quicklinks within settings then they won't disappear but will cause issues if the app isn't present as will FC settings altogether. I've had this on a number of early test builds when we were trying to incorporate NSTools as I never installed the app but the quicklink was obviously programmed into Settings so when it couldn't find the app it just crashed.

You'd probably have to make the installation of both mandatory to stop this or have 3 versions of settings.apk one for each that include the relevant kernel app and then one with neither and install this settings version according to chosen kernel in Aroma. Maybe there is some clever way around it where it checks what kernel is present then displays the correct link as such, but I'm no good with that side of things so couldn't be sure if it's possible. As for the apps there will be no issues with either because they do a check of your kernel version and then pop up a suitable message telling you to get a compatible version or offer you to exit (or something like that).

Just my 2p that may be of use, if not I'll go back to just following the thread :)

I sometimes may be silent but I'm always here :p No worries, I like following AOKP and your ROM in particular is the one I've chosen to represent ;) That and you put alot into the community so it's a pleasure to be able to help out where I can with the odd tid-bit every now and then.

If you can crack the check part you'll be onto a winner. Unfortunately I'm lost with java, I've decompiled the settings.apk from another ROM before out of interest to see how it all links and just confused me so closed it and never went back lol one day I'll spend some time to learn a bit more as anything's possible to learn given time and willingness, it's just finding the time. Good luck with it :fingers-crossed:

Ohh ok I won't ask again about etas but I wouldn't want to flash a rom and the next day alas a new version and the hole process of arranging the apps and wipe the phone all over again. By the way the fluxi kernel is it better than siyah? Which one would you recommend to install
