The camera app has the same issue as the v1.6, the led flash blinks when closing the camera app. It's really an annoying bug, how can I fix it?? And the screen rotating is a little bit slow sometimes! Other features like the GPS I didn't tested yet...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lars_1808:
When you close your camera, just hold down the home butten, slide camera away and your problem is solved.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lbaquerizo:
Dude don't feel bad that issue is on Aokp and Cyanogen soon it will be fixed. If you have an Fc that's an issue :D

Galaxy S2

thanking won't hurt ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MJDdeLacerda:
Thank you for the response, but it still blinks...

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Hahaha on previous versions of AOKP this doesn't happen!! But ok, I hope that it will be fixed soon; and you are right, FC really is a big issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lars_1808:
Thanks, I won't ;) On my SGS2, when I have used my camera and use slide the camera away, it stopped blinking, but maybe its because I also you Advanced Task Killer? Thank god I have no FC's ;)!

Maybe, if it still bothers you, you can also use the Andvanced Task Killer?!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tricks25:
ok i managed to fix my gps.. but now the accuracy is like 2200meters lol.. at v1.6 it was around 20meters..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Smackdog:
What did you do to fix it? Because at 2200m, it doesn't sound terribly "fixed".
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tricks25:
Ok i know its not really that "fixed" lol..

All i did was out of noob ignorance so from siyah 3.4.1 i reverted to 3.3.3d.. took a look at the map and gps working but way out of accuracy..

Well atleast im happy that my gps is working

The accuracy maybe because of the weather.. having heavy rains and strong winds right now
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Smackdog:
Hrm. Well I'm on Fluxxi (included version), and the GPS is still broken. So I'm not sure where the issue lies. Doesn't seem to be kernel specific.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tricks25:
Yeah im not sure too if its about kernel as i really dont have much knowledge about those.. oh also, i installed gps fix like the other peeps told and tested it for 5 minutes but uninstalled it once i got those notifications.. again im not sure if that helped.. i just tried it because theres no harm in trying that out :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Smackdog:
Yeah. I've installed GPSfix, as well as GPS Test and cleared and updated AGPS and nothing seems to be working. I'd be happy to test things if anyone has any ideas.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CarlosAbia:
Isn't gps kernel related? It is broken running every kernel? I'll test it in a while with a I777 kernel

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Didn't think so, until 2 days ago.. when Dori started messing with my 100% unflashable cam, and then the GPS went downhill.. but it seems like it happened on a lot of AOKP roms the last 2 days.. even when using 'stock' gps.conf, or custom?

and ping to the server I'm using works fine, but no connection.. and weather widget is prolly using some other.. and that don't work either :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LogeshMenon:
For auto brightness, if ur on fluxi, just go to xxtweaker, then click on system, select light sensor and reboot and it works fine from then. So, assumption, something is broken in the sensor lib file or something is broken on the lib linkages...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] testicaltroy:
Yeah guys I too am having trouble getting a fix with the GPS, it shows me that it can see 8 visible satellites but no fix. Hopefully there will be a flash-able fix soon cause I really need my GPS working.

Also the the fast dormancy toggle app has the siyah kernel logo on it, does that mean to use I have to been running siyah kernel for it to work?

And one other question, I thought I saw in the change log before 1.7 that the camera could be upgraded to 12MP. What happened to that, was kinda looking forward to see that. Plus how is the even possible?

But other that the GPS problem, its rock stable rom running DarkKnight 1.9.2. Another great release Bajee11, well done!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Galactus:
I've posted this info on the Resurrection Remix thread already but we seem to share the same GPS issue so I'll drop the same info here.

Did a quick test to see what was up with the GPS. What I've found is that the GPS DOES WORK but only after I do a few things.

Test 1 - Open up GPS Status app. GPS left running for 3 minutes straight, NO LOCK

Test 2 - Same as above but with WIFI connection, NO LOCK

Test 3 - Same as above but with Google Cell Location turned on, NO LOCK

Test 4 - Open up GPS Status app, hit menu button > tools > Manage A-GPS state > reset - LOCK IN 10 Seconds!

Normally, if I had got a GPS lock and re used the GPS again it would usually find my location immediately, however due to some unknown circumstance the GPS seems to have "Forgotten" the data it just received.

Test 5 - Same as Test 1, NO LOCK

Test 6 - Open up GPS Status app, hit menu button > tools > Manage A-GPS state > reset - NO LOCK

Test 7 - Open up GPS Status app, hit menu button > tools > Manage A-GPS state > download - LOCK IN 5 SECONDS!

I repeated the process of opening up the GPS Status app to get a lock and it failed every time. I got a lock EVERYTIME I reset and downloaded the A-GPS data. Hope someone finds this information useful
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davdavo:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Galactus:
Lol I CBA to whine about the GPS anymore, I hardly use it but it used to work fine, then god knows what happened. I don't get why I can get a connection if I reset my AGPS data but once I leave the app it all goes down hill until I reset the data again, get a connection and leave the app and its lost again loool, madness.

Edit: GPS is working fine now o_O lol

EDIT->Oops clicked the wrong one.. brb.. when I checked it

EDIT2-> still not pingable ones.. so we just hope it goes away soon! since so many are suffering from it! .. and the whole link is just a 'flashable' (maybe not on the S2?) one.. where you could pick out the /system/etc/gps.conf and place in on the same place on your phone (after making a backup) with rw-r--r-- permissions. and reboot

ui_print("GPS.conf");

show_progress(0.500000, 0);

Fast Dormancy app show me this error: Your device is not supported...How I can fix it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] burninghouse:
important query

sombody pls tell me how this rom differ from ressurection rom???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LegendZenify:
The fast dormancy app should work regardless of kernel (as long as you have root).

The reason for the siyah Kernel logo is because the app is created by the developer of Siyah Kernel.

For the 12MP camera, do understand that megapixels determine resolution.

12MP would mean the photos and videos taken would have a resolution of 4000x3000.

But the camera on our device only has an effective resolution of 8mp.

Setting the camera to 12MP would be akin to up sizing photos to a higher resolution, with no benefit to picture quality.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kilometers4:
Try it. That's the only way to know how good it is :)

Edit : and I like that you posted the same question on the rr thread

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tricks25:
so far good with small issues as for ME..

1. about the fast dormancy toggle it says its for gt-i9300..

dont know if i did the right thing of uninstalling it and deleting backup.. xD

nonetheless, i just added another line to build.prop to disable the dormancy

2. about gps, i managed to get my location at around 2km accuracy lol

gonna test it after these heavy rains and winds hopefully all will be good :D

3. exiting camera flashes the led sometimes.. not a big deal but i dont want people to think "is that retard trying to get a snapshot of me" after using the camera LOL!

other than those all are good! :D

thanks bajee :good:

It is only a possibility, when one knows what will come a solar storm the satellites availables located in the shadow of the earth so that nothing happens but the movement lost cause in height and reduce the life for a period decreases satellite supply and return to take its normal place.

I am still on RB 1.6 and last night I could lock my GPS easily within few seconds to 8 satellites. This morning I can't lock to any after several minutes of waiting and moving around.. so I believe maybe it has to do with some bad weather conditions or sun storms which for sure has a very bad effect on communications and satellites functionality..

Flashed back to 1.6 with Siyah 3.3.3 and still no GPS. Will try 1.7 with fast dormancy but if that still doesn't work i suspect it actually IS because of the atmospheric stuff and weather going on.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] rk249:
Fast dormancy is not related to GPS. Its to do with your network data. Google it and check out what it is.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] onua444:
Already proven that fast dormancy has nothing to do with GPS... Just google "fast dormancy"...

Here you are:

What is Fast Dormancy? In simple terms

its a device feature that enables mobile

devices to notify the cellular base stations

when the radio resource allocated to the

device is no longer in use, so that the

radio resource could be immediately

released other than waiting for a timeout

event. For instance lets say you are

browsing a webpage using your cellular

data plan. You stop at a certain webpage

(for example to read this article) the

connection is maintained and the device

will be registered on the network even if

data isn’t received or transmitted (always

on) and will remain like that until a

timeout event is invoked (as per the

network rules as to how much time to

wait before connection is terminated due

to idle timeout). During this time the

device’s battery will be drained

needlessly in addition to increased

congestion on the cellular network due to

numerous idle connections. From a

device perspective radio power consumes

battery so employing fast dormancy

should save battery power and increase

its life. This also has an advantage to

networks as it reduces congestion. But

This doesn’t come without a major

disadvantage to the very same cellular

networks and operators. The making and

breaking of the connections increases the

signaling traffic and wastes network

resources.
