Screen flicker gone. Let the Rom settle in. Good to go!!!

Guys I know its the cool thing to be the first to say there is something wrong but lets at least go through the rom for a couple hours prior to posting negative results. it could be a bad flash, rogue app needs a wipe..... anything! Lets not scare off noobs but of course report major issues like phone won't boot up, can't get signal, etc....

Great work as always AOKP team

Thanks Whitehawk, great great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
I'm not trying to be an asshat but, it would seem fairly obvious that the "updating" would be the link to the ROM given WH posted that right after his statement. Basically, unless stated otherwise, keep following the same instructions.

5) Reboot, wait 10 minutes

6) Reboot again

Dirty? But you formated system?

Sent from the pink Unicorn from the Darkside. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
Correct me if I'm wrong here but, if you format /system you are not flashing dirty. Formatting /system is the same as wiping except with the added step of reformatting. Additionally, you are formatting /cache instead of just wiping. Same effect as well. In short, you didn't do a dirty flash. That said, I'll give your method a try as it is slightly different from what I have done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sl___:
Ah sorry wrong terminology, I apologize. I didn't wipe data/factory reset is what I meant, to keep all my apps and messages and whatnot. Hope it works for you!

Edit: Weird thing is that the default music app dissapeared.. weird.

Im new to the GSII and have only been on TW roms. I will try this today... I used to love the Jb roms on sensation so this should be similiar...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Ok, but did you read what I asked? I am saying they are flipped now compared to the ICS version of AOKP.. not even talking bout a non- aosp rom.. So is there a way to make it go back?

the reason I ask is because I have a few apps complaining about space.. or that they need to redownload data..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Whitehawkx:
We removed aosp music app cause it sucks lol :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sl___:
Good to know. Excellent justification :P.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Whitehawkx:
Not sure why cam isn't working for everyone. I flashed this morning and it worked fine for me :X

Also, I see ppl complaining about data speeds. Just an FYI I did add those "magical data tweaks" (read retarded) that everyone hypes about. So I guess they're not really that magical after all lol. SURPRISE! XD

random reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Not talking about flicker. Talking about youtube HD lagging. Having to reboot to set different cpu max. Also how when you change CPU frequency, automatically defaults to 1242, if not using SETCPU. I like to use romtoolbox, so I dont have to have all these apps on my phone.

Edit: Also the rotation being sluggish on youtube. Certain apps being really slow. etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Random reboot. Which always boots into a SOD (screen of death). The RRs wouldn't bother me as bad if it booted back up fine.

Ah fuggit, gon falsh build 2 again, and flash instigator kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Whitehawkx:
One of the pros of having me do your nightlies is you always ALWAYS have the "latest and greatest." How bout I just do another nightly for you guys with a lot of the stuff that will be in build 3? ... like AOKP's very own quickmessage support (not a kang of CMs, our own, and it's the ****). I can also throw in this a2dp fix and a couple other goodies. ;)

EDIT: I'm currently working on an option to select your storage location for camera. Currently you CAN set it to save to external and it DOES WORK. The issue is it doesn't create a thumbnail or open in gallery... I'll probably throw it in anyways though just b/c I can.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] epresson:
The only thing keeping me from using this as my DD is that gtalk video doesn't work. Everything else seems to work OK on build 2, at least from what I've seen in the few minutes I've flashed it.

You get that USB Mount to PC worked out yet (Not the MTP connection we already have for those of you who will chime in that you can see your sd cards just fine. I'm talking about a proper mount where your sdcards are assigned drive letters)? You mentioned looking into it a week or so ago but have not heard anything since.

Thank you in advance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
The nightlies are simply the most up to date compiling of aokp source, while the builds are milestones that aokp feels comfortable putting their seal of approval on.

Tomorrow build 2 will be out of date compared to the nightlies, but that doesn't mean it will be less stable

I notice that Bluetooth audio isn't working properly on my Plantronics Vogager Pro UC2, which worked on the 9/13 nightly after using the audio_policy.conf fixes noted some pages back. I did a full wipe as per the OP in this installation.

I could reinstall that to see if it still works, but maybe it could be incorporated into your nightly instead?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
The BT fix is posted in this thread in multiple places. Open up your audio_policy.conf file and toward the bottom find the A2DP section. Locate the line that reads: sampling_rates 48000

Modify this line to read: sampling_rates 44100|48000

All should work fine after saving and rebooting. Also, you can of course simply locate the post(s) that link the modified audio_policy.conf file and simply download that to your phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
Using that instigator kernel is going to defeat the purpose of flashing build 2. You're losing a ton of fixes and such. I'd stick with the stock kernel until instigator is up to speed with the AOKP builds.

Edit: Also, screen flicker can, at the very worse, be significantly minimized by checking the Disable HW Overlays check box in Developer Settings or by simply using the stock launcher.

why do i always have to flash gapps when i flash a build?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
It's part of an agreement between Google and Cyanogen. Custom ROM's are not supposed to include GAPPs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
Cause it is separate. It's not included on the ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DarthxTyler:
Gapps are system apps and gapps aren't cooked into AOSP ROMs so you have to reflash them each time as they're overwritten.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mituzora:
And to further throw onto this, its a legal thing that Google has with their apps. Its something a long the lines of the ROM not being certified for GAPPS, or something like that

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
If you're only doing a cache wipe then 1) You don't need to reflash GAPPs each time and 2) looking for trouble. CM does not include GAPPs as per their agreement with Google, I just covered that, which is an agreement that spans ALL custom builds of Android meaning anything outside of what comes stock from the manufacturer.
