I will see what i can do on doing a transparency mod on the contacts as a .zip file. I just need to learn how to do that first maybe i can find a guide somewhere on xda to do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
I installed the transparency apk from post#980. I thought the transparency effect on the contacts and dialer was awesome. But when the phone is rebooted it reverts back to the original.

FYI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Its probably the themed mod since that theme doesnt wanna stick... Next update im going to change the xperia launcher to 4 rows in appdrawer instead so people can change the font to anything and not worry about app names going missing. And there will be some fixes and stuff with the new updated launcher. Hopefully it will make things like themes work better. I just have to see and test things out first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
Sounds great to me... I will look forward for #6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] geopatr:
You're a good man!!! :) :)

Any way to alter build prop. To raise factory settings for volume?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] haris3:
MMS App

I mean just the mms icon, not the actual app.

Is anyone else having low volume issue during ph calls?

When on WiFi txting doesn't work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
While on wifi I sent a txt to myself. It sent it and I received it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RobZarzecki:
Same here .Texting on wifi from my phone to my old phone works. WiFi only on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
That is sad, texting yourself...lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Im back everyone... Im feeling much better also, and i have just been working on my new TW rom. This rom seems stable enough to be used as a dd doesnt it? There is still a few things i want to add for version #6 but im trying to finish my second rom first and then i will be working on an great update for Xtremeperia!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Iztokhy:
great rom

Facebook contact sync is not working. I've tried a few things an no luck. I'm really enjoying this ROM as it gives us something different out there the. The usually roms.....lol thanks again an hope the fb sync will be fixed soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
I'm not too sure, but FB sync hasn't ever worked with CM has it? I found it odd because on TW when I logged in on FB it would ask if I'd like to sync contacts, however when I logged onto FB on CM it wouldn't ask me at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Iztokhy:
Thanks for the heads up bro. I couldn't figure out wat was goin on.....lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vsot13:
This is a good news. I'm glad you back. I follow your work with this Rom since day one. And only I can say this is most stable Rom for our phone. Keep up the good work. Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
I was able to make the transparency mod stick!

@jovy23 , @Robzarzecki,

Actually I stumbled to this accidentally about 15 minutes ago.

This is how I made it stick.

I use solid explorer, using rom toolbox or root explorer will not work - I tried it!

Rename the

AOKP Milestone 6 Transparent Contacts.apk (hdpi) to contacts.apk

use solid explorer to replace the contacts.apk with this one. (do not install the apk).

when you do this rotate the phone to landscape mode - you will get 2 windows.

the window containing the renamed contacts.apk (1st window =left hand side window)and in the second window navigate to your system --> app folder.

Long press the contacts.apk - it will give you a bunch of options choose copy to option.

Then it will display again a number of options - choose replace file

thats it. then check/open the phone app and the people app - it should be transparent. Reboot the phone, to verify if the

modification sticks or it reverts back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Idk if this is a problem with the ROM but I stoop getting my notifications and I have to go back to my text and check if they txted me back. Then I'll reboot my phn and it would b all back to normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
That never happened to me it cant be a rom problem. I have never experiened any of these problems other users are having also on this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Wow thats weird! :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Weird to me then lol. Well I wiped cache delvik cache and fixed permission. I'll see if that helps.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

This is like a request lol....is there anyway to get the S3 style camera app fast burst?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
The fast burst camera lite app you mean?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RobZarzecki:
Amazing. It worked! Pasting alone didn't but choosing install/Replace worked and survived a reboot. Gonna stick with this Transparent dialer and learn Solid Explorer instead of relying on root explorer always.

Brilliant... Do you know how to get themes with a parsing error to install?

Thanks a bunch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
Glad it worked for you too!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Problem still continued-_____- idk what it can b gona restore from a back I did 2days ago
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Did you restore anything from titanium backup or while installing the rom did you wiped everything completely [Clean wipe]?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Yeah I did restore apps+data using TB and yes I always wipe everything using the method in the OP. I did my back up hopefully is a app I downloaded since the problem started just today...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Ok great that you fully wipe the device some people just dirty flash which is bad. And if anything try to download the rom again and this time restore from titanium backup but dont download any apps that you have downloaded recently that might of had made the notifications to stop working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Well I downloaded the ROM twice when I had a problem and you told me to redownload since maybe it was a bad download. But then I found out it was a app that was giving me problems...." FLNotificator" that's app idk if anyone has tried it or had problems with it. And well up to right now I'm not having problems and hopefully it was a bad app. Thanks buddy :).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Ok great it was an app problem. Glad you have it working now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzlik88:
:( my notifications stopped working but I don't have flnotifier...

Just saying....will attempt to fix soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eflamenco:
I love this Rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dvalin21:
Is anyone else having the same issue? Not all of my music files are being played no matter what player I use. Is there a codec or something missing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
Not having that problem. Everythings working just fine here since the new update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rabbit505:
Love the Rom the only problem is that when there is one home screen the background slides around like there is 2 its very annoying any suggestions on how to fix this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashmonkey:
I have two problems.

1. My scrolling is choppy. I. E when I scroll up or down its not smooth... I guess I need to re calibrate? Anyone know how

2. Any way to change the dialer and the favorite contacts screen to how touch wiz looks?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] milt006:
I would love to have the transparent contacts apk. Can anyone post it or pm a link. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Soory guys that i havent been in here lately. I have been working on my tw rom instead since im not sick no more and im trying to finish that first before i work on version #6. I also seen that there is a new base to work on also september 16th base to be exact and hope it fixes some issues on the CM side. V#6 will be an awesome update, but for now its tw time for me. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Yeah that happened to me too it's really weird. And flnotifier makes the phone act weird not stop your actual notification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RobZarzecki:
Jovy

Have you any interest in MIUI? The OS is nice visually but call quality is said to be fairly poor
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
I have heard of MIUI before but the problem is i have never flashed MIUI on my device before! Lol but based from the pics i seen and youtube videos it looks awesome and the OS does look nice. But it seems like MIUI has a lot of problems just like JB that needs to get fixed before i go check out what MIUI is all about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
Likewise. I like the appearance of MIUI, but have no experience with it whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] intelligencexan:
Alot of people who like miui is for its interface / launcher (not the work done behind it) - not implyig that everyone is like :)

If there people here who like to get he miui launcher , there is one available in the playstore along with the miui locker.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
The interface looks kind of like ios but to me MIUI is better because of the theme customizations and MIUI features. Once it starts becoming stable im gonna definitely try it out!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Also it seems now since i checked the bbqlog for CM9 for our device on base September 16th, the CM team finally has added ext4 support!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
Ext4 support!? YES!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
#6 is going to be one great update!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashmonkey:
Anyway to get the SLIDE SCREEN lock-screen from the TouchWiz roms, for this ROM? I miss that.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
@jovy23,

I know you went back to the stock kernel for V5.

What other kernel do you recommend that will work with this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
What's ext4 support? :o

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Is there anyway we can get that S3 lock screen I'm guessing "swipe" like you touch the screen and it seems like it's kind of like water? :o just asking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
No kernel is fully stable. Considering that the source code for 4.0.4 ICS hasn't been actively released by SamSung. It's just a waiting game.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
I notice the choppy scrolling after a few days of use after a clean flash as well. Because this Rom is amazing I just put up with it. Gonna do a reboot to see if that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Im waiting for the source also. So the kernel devs can work with something and i can finally put a working custom kernel on xtremeperia.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Use only the stock its more stable than any other kernel for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Ext4 support means it will mount your ext4 sd card partition on boot. And right now everything has to be in aosp especially the lockscreen just in case nothing in the rom doesnt get messed up by changing something. Im keeping the rom as AOSP as possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rabbit505:
I just noticed I can't seem to find my sd card astro is not finding it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] milt006:
I must say that I have had very few, if any problems with this Rom. For the few problems I have had and those I think many of you may have are related to bad apps or left over app data from previous installs. Most of us, if we're honest, flash for the fun of it and try tons of apps because they're free. That being said, we pile a lot of garbage and useless data on our devices that just causes problems.

One of the questions that lets me know this is the case is the dreaded, "do I need to do a clean install?" oh, and, "can I restore the data with my apps?" I'm not a dev nor am I even brilliant but just a few words to the wise in XDA Land, clean, clean, clean and you will have less problems. Ok, I'm done... Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Great comment! I dont even hardly install free apps only useful ones with high ratings and most problems can be caused by restoring app+data, dirty flashing, and also downloading some free apps. People got to remember that some apps use permissions while some apps dont. And sometimes these free apps have malware and other stuff in them which can make the phone run slow, and it also can mess it up. Thats why its good to always wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions every two to three days following a system reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] empierrelouis:
Just to say THANK YOU! I have nothing to complain about this rom;fast, sodless, rrless everything is working. Finally I am going to take a break... no more flashing until the official JB version. Good job. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Your very welcome :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rmarquez1974:
I actually notice that if I text someone, and stay in the messaging app, I don't get a notification. This has been the norm for me on anything but a touchwiz ROM. I just make sure I exit the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Has your other ROM ( TW) been release already or ur working on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Im still working on it as of right now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dvalin21:
I use to have an issue with sending mms messages but so far I haven't had that issue. The Sony music store doesn't work on mine also. Not sure if anyone else had that issue as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MandoH:
Waiting on vers 6....!!... Hope jovy makes it even better!!!!... Keep up the great work!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
It definitely is going to be better i have everything written down for the next update on a wordpad on my pc and the list is long. Im just trying to finish my tw rom first but me being a loner without my own team like other devs have, i have to do everything on my own and im learning new things while im at it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
I've been using this rom since saturday as a DD.

suddenly today, I can no longer do a backup. Be it thru the Rom mnager or directly using the CWM (recovery menu).

I tried rebooting, fixing permission, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache.

I even upgraded to the new recovery mode 6.0.14

Nothing fix the problem.

Any suggestion how to fix this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badaphooko01:
try using twrp. I used cwm since the G1 days and i switched a few weeks back and have not looked back...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
FOR ANYONE with problems..

Try the following..FOLLOW IT SET BY STEP OR YOU WON'T BOOT AND YOU'LL HAVE TO GO BACK TO CWM AND DO MORE STEPS TO BOOT AGAIN!

1. Get sk8erwitskil's CWM.

2. Go to extras in his CWM, run Darkside Cache Wipe.

3. Go to Advanced, sk8erwitskil's fix permissions

4. Stay in Advanced, run REGULAR fix permissions.

5. Wipe dalvik cache

6. Go to wipe cache partition.

Reboot, all should be fine. If not, well we tried. Gotta keep looking.

IF YOU CAN'T BOOT BACK INTO XTREMEPERIA, run NORMAL cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe (NOT DARKSIDE!) and run normal fix permissions and IMMEDIATELY reboot. All should be fine.

If you want to do this WITHOUT sk8'rs CMW (not recommended) make sure you have the darkside cache wipe script.zip

If you're on TWRP, sorry I know nothing of this CMR.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MandoH:
Thanks for the Reply!! You are awesome.. Doing on your Own!! Dedication you Have to Great Roms!!! :D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pottyvick:
About to try this.... Looks good :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried both the darkside cache wipe and the normal cache wipe - both options just freezes up.

Although I was able to do fix permission in rom manager

I removed the battery and booted up the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
I always had problems with CWM. Until i switched to twrp i never went back. To me i think twrp is way better amd has less bugs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MandoH:
Maybe not enough Memory to backup???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
My internal memeory states that the free space is 6 gb

The external memory free space is 30 gb

I think there is enough space
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eflamenco:
i dont know anything about building roms or theme packages. but if you would like a cusom set of icons made for this to package with your ROM I would be willing to help. I came from the iPhone scene. just google image ieFXx and you can see some of my work =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Wow man great work! If your willing to help that would be even better! Send me a PM with the icons so i can check them out and thank you.. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] free2saute:
I made the switch from CWM to TWRP with this rom and no FC yet lol :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
If TWRP is this heavily I'll have to give this a shot it seems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Well im almost done with my Touchwiz rom. Do you guys think i should set the default font to sony sketch on my tw rom? Or what font do yall think i should set as default because i really dont want it to be stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
Sony sketch as default would be good.

What kernel will the TW rom have?

No bloats please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Yes Sony sketch sounds good man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Yeah i love the sony sketch font. But there is so much fonts to choose from and also better ones im going to have to try a few and see which is better and it will be having stock 4.0.4 kernel for now since there isnt hardly any custom kernels only TDJ's kernel that he has in his pre-released rom but it seems that he has left. And there will be like a few bloat apks but people can delete them though since i put them in the data/app folder. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Óðinsdagr:
Looking forward to giving the TW a go, Sony font is pretty clean and if I want something different ROM toolbox flips them easy enough. Nice work, don't know why but this is the most stable CM base I've used very impressed man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ripgut:
This ROM (or CWM 6.0.1.4) bricked my phone, sorta speak. i flashed it (according to the OP instructions) and it doesn't even boot, when i go into CWM recovery again, and try a wipe it just show one line of progress, and that's it, and USB mount in recovery doesn't even work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Thats why i never use CWM. It causes more problems and it cant be the rom after all the 1000+ comments in here your the only one with this problem. And are you using scripts? Dont use them and also it could be a bad download and the phone is not bricked since you can still go to CWM and also flash TWRP in my opinion it has less bugs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Thanks man and great feedback. Enjoy the rom. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elitox87:
just wanted to point out that - ppl are telling me (when on a call) that they can't really hear me - and this issue only started in this most recent release - i can hear them just fine - but seems like the mic is internally tuned down - i've confirmed this via a chat app that i use that can be used to record your msges and sent out to ppl in the chat rm - and during play back the audio was really low - eventho all the volume settings are set to high.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
THIS might be true due to CM9.1's nature. Nothing with the actual ROM.

Anyone experiencing problems with Jovy's ROM, you need to do a clean install. I flashed this ROM a total of 6 times, and not once has it botched on me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
When version 5 was released pple suggested flashing the koodoo radio with it. I did that and it solved echoing problems. May solve ur issue too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elitox87:
i don't have any calling/echoing issues - the issue is with the mic internally tuned down a notch..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArmoMafia:
First off Awesome Rom!!! I love everything about, I'm running version 5 and for some reason I don't see the Timescape widget, ( I flashed the Timescape ui add-on) timescape app is there, all 3 Timescape apps are in the system apps including timescapewidget.apk but for some reason the Timescape widget won't show up, I even tried manually installing timedscapewidget.apk but it just says "app could not be installed" and yes I am running the stock Xperia launcher. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomasitoc:
Hello Jovy23,

Are you going to open another thread when you release the TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Right now the widget doesnt seem to work on our phones but i will be looking into that soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArmoMafia:
Oh wow my fault, I could've swore I saw the widget on one of the screenshots, bit it was just the regular app. Good luck though, would be great of you can get to work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evil Avnovice:
I just had the same problem. I simply odin'ed back to stock, redownloaded Rom Manager off Google Play, and rolled back to the last version of clockwork recovery (5.0.2.7).

Problem solved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
I'm suggesting flashing that radio and see if it solves the problem even though the radio may seem to have nothing to do with the internal Mic. I'm only saying cuz I don't have that issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stellar_d:
Exact same thing with me too.I don't think I waited long enough to boot up though the first time. Sluggish cwm, and appeared to be stuck when I restored a backup.I just pulled battery and worked fine.couldn't flash the old cwm back so I followed a thread here on how to flash twrp with terminal and haven't looked back since.

Running this ROM now after following twrp instructions and Wow! Favorite ROM for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Glad your liking it man! And welcome to TeamTWRP also lol. And also, hopefully i can release my TW rom by the end of this week im just trying to find out how to add volume wake and also the advanced power menu on it which im having trouble on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BabyBoi.JN:
I have a working timescape widget apk... But I cant seem to upload it :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Try to upload it in a filesharing site first and then post the link in here as a post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BabyBoi.JN:
Lets give this a try

http://db.tt/YkNPCU9V
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Thanks! I will try this out...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
Hopefully my tw rom will be released today, or tomorrow! Then after its released... XTREMEPERIA #6 will be in the works!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] biggie6924:
Is anyone else still having issues downloading from the play store? Says it can't verify my device, bit them the next minute out updated Facebook. Any ideas?
