[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Sofos_:
Keep in mind that there are still some bugs due to cm10 base, like Ram leaks every now and then that might actually drop your battery pretty fast. There's nothing you can do at least for now..

Tried both Siyah and Dorinmax and stayed with Siyah but that's cause my Phone liked him better, might be different with yours.

Btw Siyah 1.4.5 is out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts85:
Yes that is true, i will try dorimax sometime but not now, my phone is working great all but the battery that is..but to charge it once a day doesn't mind me..just charge when sleeping :).

PS: I got to be your 100 thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Sofos_:
Haha thanks! Btw if you Check your Ram and it is using more than 600+ you most probably need a reboot to have everything working right again cause that's the main reason why battery drops (it starts/ends all apps).

Ps. About the themes, so far I've tried this one by Denite : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856698

and this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bigdx.jbextreme.com.

Mate my ram usage is 600+, ive just checked...ive rebooted alot of times but its still 600+. Do i need a full wipe you think?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Sofos_:
Your previous rom was ParanoidAndroid? A full wipe is allways advisable but before going that way try first to wipe partition caches, dalvik, fix permissions and after you reboot go to Settings - Developer options - Backround process limit and change it to 3. It should keep your Ram at 350-450 (ofc since there is a bug it will reach 600 at some point..).

You can also download from Market some apps like Cpu Spy(to check if your phone goes into deep sleep) , betterbatterystats(wakelocks etc) , Autostart (careful with his one) and have a general idea of how is your phone doing :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts85:
Yes my previous rom was PA 2.0,1.99. And before that it was another rom but i did fullwipe between them so. I even did a fullwipe between 1.99 and 2.0 :). But not between 2.0 and 2.1.

Okey i will try this, thank you so much.

Hi

Try reverting your phone to normal phone mode and applying your theme, then changing your UI..

EDIT: Also Nova and Apex have problems with certain themes, try Trebuchet with your theme.

EDIT: By the way I haven't thanked D4rk for the latest awesome release, so I'll do it here to stop anybody getting mad in the Dev section!.... Thanks! my phone loves you!

Does anybody know of a decent contacts widget? since JB dropped, Android Pro Widgets does not play nicely and I miss the scrolling style contacts.

Nice work saywhatt on the thread
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybernetus:
There are many differences between siyah and dorinmax.

Dorinmax kernel came with many other configurations on extweaks and many tweaks and under volts tested by dori.

Siyah is a good kernel too, but in Dorinmax I find more options of configurations.

Another good thing on Dorinmax is the CortexBrain script. This script manage many things on your Android :)

Test Dorinmax. On your version 5.76B ( I still using this version on my phone ) I had a stable, faster phone. No freezes, no random reboots :)

And ... you get a amazing battery life :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts85:
Now i had done those steps sofos recommended.

- Clear cache

- Clear dalvik

- fix permissions

- development options, and background processes to 3.

Well it is better. Today in phone idle mod it went from 100 to 99 % in 45 minutes, so its a improvment.

But still before cm10 i had like 1 % in 1-2 hours in phone idle mod. But when i use the phone

the battery goes down faster than lightning.

And yes my memory is now down to 500-550 after i killed all processes once.

Still aint good enough. But as you said i guess that is a cm10 bug.

Maybe il do a fullwipe soon and install the new version of kernel and start fresh and see what happens.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Da Spike:
Can you be more specific about 'amazing battery life'

Indeed I had a battery drain from Pa 2, but also kernel updates are provoded. I use siyah kernel 4.1.4 and by default I could use my phone for a couple of hours.

Now with some extweaks I can use my phone again for more then a day.

Idle mode less then 1% per hour. And arround 3 1/2 hour display (not heavy games)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josuhu:
Get go contacts and then you can set ringtones easily. I use go contacts for modifying because google contacts sucks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts85:
I had the exact same problem and here comes the solution that helped me.

Yes jokesy is correct but there is something else you need to do.

You need to set the UI mod to phone mod before you apply the default system theme. Then reboot.

Then you can set your new theme and after that you can switch to tablet or phablet ui.

Hope it will help you aswell.

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

Do please tell about your configurations you did in extweaks for us who is not that familiar with this.

How to fix theme compile error, the easiest way:

1. Goto Settings - Themes, apply the default (System) theme.

2. Goto Settings - Apps - All - Theme Chooser - Force stop

3. Goto Settings - Apps - All - Themes provider - Force stop, then Clear data

4. Goto Settings - Themes, wait for about 5 seconds for all the thumbnails to reload - Apply any theme of your choice.

I don't think it will solve the problem.

Try this:

1. Try sending mms using a third-party app like Gosms (it has an option to manually input mms APN settings)

If you receive the same error then try this

2.) Download Getril from playstore

- use the app to match your Ril and baseband, then try to send the mms again

# If you face network/any similar problems after using the app, do this

-open the app, press menu button, restore. Then reboot after restore.

Ok. Let me explain better.

# If you want to download the tablet app (that was showing unsupported) from playstore, there are two ways a about it:

1. You need to manually edit build.prop file. I don't recommend this.

2. Sideload the app. How?

- Download the app,

Can someone explain to me what's happening here?

The battery is going up even if I'm not even charging my phone.

I have calibrated and deleted my battery stats through cwm but this

still shows up. I am on Paranoid version 2.10 running siyah kernel and have the

Anker 1900mah battery. Would resetting

the fuel-gauge chip on extweaks can help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Explanation:

- this means your battery meter is still inaccurate.

- Your phone has not yet settled down

- the battery self-clibration (YES, Galaxy SII celebrates itself after 3-5 discharge -recharge cycles) cycle is not yet complete

- the battery will thus discharge faster than normal (due to inaccurate reading), and will try to correct itself when the screen is left off for some time.

Solution:

- Resetting fuel gauge in Extweaks + 2-3 discharge - recharge cycles

Hello guys,

I have been encountering this problem since I can't remember when. I started using PA Jelly Bean ROM for my Galaxy SII I9100 from the 1.992 Version. I'm on 2.10 now.

I have been encountering this problem ever since and I run the phone in default mode, meaning no tablet or phablet mode and no other settings tweaked either.

The problem is that when I expand the notification bar, the Remove All Notifcations icon on the top right is barely visible. You can check the image below:

Anyone else who has encountered the same problem and was able to fix it?

Apart from this, one also cannot use WI-FI DIRECT and the smileys in video mode crashes the camera app.

Thank you in advance. It is really an amazing ROM.
