Sorry, I don't agree. PlayerPro is better :P. I like the playback sound and interface a lot more - but to each his/her own.

Will try another kernel and see how it goes... but haven't found one JB rom that doesn't have freezes (especially on CM10 kernel).

So far still like my Slim, just as I did on ICS - may go back to ICS as found it more stable than JB.... but just 3 more weeks until my new Note 2 so think I just stick with the minor bugs for now.

YES you can change it. The file is called "ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png" (same name and location as it was in slim ics).

I think the easiest way you can do is use the universal flashing mod I made before from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26982606&postcount=100

and just replace the png file in "MORPH\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi" with the original you like (make sure has same name) - can get the lockscreen icon from any rom in same framework-res.apk directory.

PS

I found a solution for the stuttering music when switching screen on off (lockscreen):

This works on Dorimanx 7.2

Go to ExTweaks> CPU> SCALING_MIN_SUSPEND_FREQ ...and SCALING_MIN_STANDBY_FREQ - set them to 300000kHz.

No more stuttering for me - though I did get a freeze again on Dorimax when using web browser, seeing if changing to lulzactiveq works better than OnDemand.

Pdroid

Has anyone managed to get a patch for Pdroid built yet from the 2.7 build?

I can't be the only person who wants to use Pdroid on this fantastic rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quijote1:
I apologize for also posting this on the Dorimanx thread, but think it involves both the kernel and the ROM:

1) I want to report that I am having no stuttering on music playback using the old 222music.apk. I use that because it shows folders, which is how I organize my MP3s. I was thinking that music playback involves reading the memory card and data transfer. That has become a weak spot when running benchmarks and Dori has said he found a way to improve that, so maybe the next release will have an automatic fix.

2) I have a problem with speaker volume. My rom (Slim Bean) allows selection of various music effects. I have normally used Volume+ to make the speakers louder. But since Dorimanx allows an adjustment in Extweaks, I also boosted the volume there. Alas, now I have less volume than a stock phone. I froze Volume+ to see if the kernel alone could do the job, but no joy. Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks......

Very high android OS

Hy,I have big problem,my android OS is very high,around 30%,and battery is droping very fast,like problem with stock firmware 4.0.3,any solution???

P.S. screen on 25 minutes,baterry down for 15%...otherwise..great rom!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fronti90:
Those 30% don't mean that it consumed that much battery, it is the percentage of those 15%. This would mean that 30% of those 15% are consumed by Android OS but here is the special thing about android os:

This is the one thing you shouldn't worry about at all because it's the process that keeps your device alive, that means that if you don't use your device much android OS will be high compared to others but if you use it alot this percentage will drop!

About the battery drop you should use an app like better battery stats and monitor which app causes this drain

kravind, would it be possible to build your slim roms for the Sprint Galaxy S2?

I've tried building slim bean from source and ran into some errors compiling.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Seriously? What more help do you need? I thought I spelled out the steps fairly clearly... :confused:

more info:

Here is the commit where they changed the lockscreen pics... read my previous post to figure out how to save them.

To get framework-res.apk, just use a root explorer, and copy the file from /system/framework to somewhere like /sdcard/ and then copy to your PC. Then add the old lockscreen pics to the .apk using 7zip or WinRAR.

To put the updated framework-res.apk back on your phone, I recommend using an update.zip that you can flash via recovery. You can try: this flashable installer... it's from the Xperia forum but should work fine on the SGS2...

Just open the framework-installer.zip and put the framework-res.apk in the /system/framework dir... copy the .zip to your phone, then flash the .zip using recovery.

Or when you said "and little help for a newbie?" did you mean to say "Can you please do all the work, and put together a nice little zip file that I can just flash in recovery?" :p Because that isn't going to happen... As they say "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for the rest of his life"

I'm attempting to teach you to fish here... go and read... do some research... experiment... make mistakes... fix them... learn... enjoy! :good:

and as mentioned earlier - MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THIS! While messing with framework-res.apk can cause bootloops if you do it wrong... this isn't an issue if you have a backup! ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Didgesteve:
Pdroid is one of the best privacy protectors for your phone. For more information look Here

Flash the update in CWM recovery, then install the apk once the phone has rebooted.

Personally I always install Pdroid at the beginning of a build/restore, so it flags all the apps as you install them, and you get to configure them individually.

Here is a copy of the apk
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quijote1:
Thanks much for the file - now I can give this a try!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quijote1:
Seems like I just can't seem to get this right. When I downloaded the above apk file, it arrived as a zip. When I looked inside, there was no Pdroid.apk, but a lot of xml files and meta information. Should I rename this to .apk or did I get the wrong file entirely??? Or something else??

OH, BTW, I see that the update has new framework files. I already changed the framework when I installed the Really Dark gapps (I think) - will this cause me to lose those changes or conflict in any way?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Didgesteve:
when I click on the link I get PDroid_release.apk, you're not looking at the update.zip are you?

The update needs to be flashed in recovery.

I put Pdroid on after I'd installed the Dark apps and inverted playstore, and it worked ok.

Next to where LMBBananaJoe posted the update file, there is a restore file. If the update causes problems, go back into recovery and flash the restore.

Pdroid shouldn't confilct with Dark apps, but as with all mod fiddlings, do a nandroid backup first!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quijote1:
Hmm, when I click on the link I get Pdroid_release. Zip.

Thanks for the other clarifications.

I'm gonna try to download the apk on my phone instead of the computer.

EDIT: Ahah, that worked!

I have noticed a little problem with battery bar when set to "center mode".

With 182 DPI, the bar is not centered correctly and it has not the good width.

Charging animation, when centered, only come from the right of the screen instead of both sides like in Slim ICS.

Not a major issue but you are aware of this now ;)

You have a ril crash. Didn't happened to me with latest version. Not even sure if this is a modem or rom issue but you could just try and flash another(newer) and modem and just give it a shot.

Or (in case you haven't done that yet) you can do a clean install with data wipe/factory reset

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Unfortunately no one has figured the cause out yet but it's a JB issue with our phones due to no documentation for the Samsung proprietary code I believe. I don't suffer any ril crashes and have only ever had 1 or 2 since using JB while others have them daily. Maybe I'm lucky but it doesn't affect everyone so seems a combination of things. Your best bet is to have a play with different modems and see if you get any luck.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
You can also use the Siyah 4.1.5 (or whatever the latest version is) patched by mcm811. Have a look for his CM thread in Android Development which includes a selection of Siyah and CM patched kernels for you to choose from.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mk.Xal:
I have this issue too.

I have done a clean install with 2.6 then update to 2.6.1 and finally 2.7

Stock kernel (the one that come from SB) and LQ6 modem.

These crashes come randomly. The last I had didn't accept the right pin code and after 2 try, I rebooted the phone before doing a 3rd try :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbutandola:
As said above you're experiencing ril crashes. There are reports that using Siyah kernel solves the issue although there's no proof of that. You might try it out.

RIL CRASHES: There is an extensive thread on XDA about getting the modem and it´s supporting RIL files harmonized.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881304

For those who don't want to read the many pages on that thread, the is an app called GetRIL that will check to see if your modem has the necessary supporting files and if not, will download them for you. It is easy to use.

The people on the above thread criticize GetRIL, but it has just been revised and I think that the new version will deal with the critical issues they raise. It has worked for me. I have ZERO RIL issues.....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fronti90:
I recommended that a few times, too, but still only use this if you know what you are doing/the app does AND do a nandroid backup before!

In addition it only works if you have a new modem that came with a 4.x android version because there simply are no matching ril files for older modems.

I, for example, still use ki4 because this is by far the best one for me but due to the fact that it was released with a GB rom there is no matching ril file for 4.x

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Didgesteve:
I have tried to use GetRil on a number of occasions, and each time it has wiped out my phone connectivity, so it's really important that you do a nandroid backup before you use it.

Also, someone reported that the GetRil database for SGS2 is broken, so use with caution. Don't run it if you have no problems!

Rather than run an app and not know what it does, look at the page listed by quijote1, above, and read up a bit...

Modem+RIL

For the ones which are afraid to use Getril, the best alternative is to flash a modem+ril combo, you may find several proved working combos at:

I am using BVLPE combo for some time in Argentina (Personal) on 2.7 and I have great connectivity. Even when BVLPE is not from our telco, it works much better than the local ones.

I did not see RIL crashes or excessive wakelocks with it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quijote1:
I'm using that very same modem combo in Spain with great results and no wierd stuff happening on the phone.

For what it's worth, GetRIL just released an updated version and the changelog suggests that the developer listened to the critiques on XDA - so it might be worth trying. I just ran it, but it told me that my ril files were in harmony so I didn't change anything.....

Play Store Issue 2.7

I'm facing issues in 2.7 with Play Store. Unable to update some apps.

I reflashed the Official 2.7 ROM + 2.7 AIO + 2.7 AIO Updated but I am still facing the issue. The instructions in http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/160-playstore-issues-2-7-faq asks to "Download from Addons the Playstore package". Is that Addons on this website on the Addons on the Phone??? I'm confused sorry...

Now I'm getting "Server Error" in Play Store...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mobix:
