[Galaxy S II Android Development] Duuuude:
I post this as a recovering ROM flashoholic...

First, my name is Duuuude and I have been flash-free for 5 days. I'm still using the 1010 jbmali build along with the 1010 Siyah kernel. Despite what people have told me about getting better battery by not flashing every day, I said "screw you" and flashed every new build anyway. "Why not?", I would always say...I want the latest, dammit!! It has to be better!!

But I have come to a revelation: you do get better battery life by sticking with one build for more than a day. It's true, at least in my case.

My phone is at 5% remaining and I just got 1 day, 9 hours, and 20 minutes with 2 hours and 35 mins of screen time on the stock battery; the best battery life I've had since stock ICS.

I had the following settings:

Sync off

Location on

Screen at minimum for more than 90% of the time

Using wi-fi about 60% of the time

LD3 modem

About 30 minutes of Jetpack Joyride :)

I'll see how much longer I can go without flashing, but this thread is like the devil; calling out my name, trying to make me break. But I will remain strong. God Speed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Yeah, once again then... If I had to stay with a build for a week, I'd go with 10.13 + Dorimanx 7.2 combo, I actually re-flashed it now... Man it's good. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
I'm using that combo, and until something major changes with the builds I'm staying on it. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
what is better about it (compared to newest build+vsync+Siyah) ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Smoother, more responsive, less stuttery, really good battery life... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manulemaboul:
On the contrary, siyah is smoother on mine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
im on 15_10 Siyah and 15_10 CM10_EXP

And the only issue i have is the Media Scanner bug. But if i disable that, it runs smooth and fine. No other battery drains or anything. Since yesterday 30mins after it came out, ive had incredible battery life, no force closes or reboots.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Naeh, that's placebo, my combo is smoother... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
I agree with u2 guys..:D..1013&dori 7.2 combo was worth to make a nandroid backup:D...after all "crap" i've flashed through today....i restored my happy 1013 combo...& untill sth real happens i'll stick with it :D....:p

Sent from my SGS-II powered with~CM~10/1013by MCM811~&~ Dorimanx v 7.2 kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
if u send me the link (lazy as ****:cool: ) i will try it myself.

rom+kernel and i will take time to compare.

i never tried Dorimanx (because i need bln) so...

btw inv gapps are great, and it looks so cool...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antt00:
vsync off rom works with dorimanx.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
You can d/l the 10.13 build & Dorimanx 7.2 kernel from www.farmfield.se/ROMS/ :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antt00:
Dorimanx support BLN.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
1013 is a vsync build right ?

Dorimanx and vsync are working together ?

just to be sure..:silly:

nice even better...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcm811:
@farmfield, why do you use 1013 & dorimanx ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Your 10.13 was just one of those really good builds and for some reason that build and the Dorimanx kernel just worked really well together on my device. It's really smooth and it's also got great battery life. :)

Also, I was on today's build with Siyah but I tried today's nightly (experimental), just for fun, and it was really horrible. But instead of flashing todays build again, I went back to the 13.10 + Dorimanx combo just as I know it's so good...

But perhaps tomorrows build will be as good on my device, that's the fun of it, you never know. Funny how some builds are just really nice. :)

And once again a big thanks for these great builds. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcm811:
1013 build is vsync_off build. ok?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unexist6969:
hmm, but it boots the 10-13 jbmali_vsync_uevent rom, but not the 10_15
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcm811:
@Unexists6969, try install vsync_off & dormanx. it's good works. 1013 is exactly same vsync_off build. understand?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] juanono:
Thanks for your reply, but you didn't answer my question...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
LOL... So I don't have the vsync on using 10.13 + Diromanx? :D

But seriously, my device was always smooth, I mean well before these builds it was almost as smooth as a Gnex, and I was never bothered with the memory leak either...

But I'll play around a bit and then flash today's build again, see if I really feel any difference... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unexist6969:
I understand, I thought the 1013 malibuild was with vsync on cuz it was in the file name ;)

Dorimanx V5.88 also works with vsync ioctl rom, so I assume dorimanx uses ioctl method? ;p

Lol, in the end it might be all placebo, a disease for us flashaholic :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcm811:
but I make 1013 build. why don't trust me?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antt00:
Re-read you question and i get it now. I think the main diff is in any cherry picks that mcm put in. But i guess only he can answer your question. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unexist6969:
I do trust you, I flashed your builds a 100 times and your builds are among the best ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Yeah, funny, today's build + Siyah is smoother than 10.13 + Dorimanx. Can't say that I notice much in the GUI but, as usual, the biggest difference is in the browser where today's build is noticeable smoother when scrolling and zooming.

Well, that's life of a flashoholic. If it isn't placebo, it's reverse placebo. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PhoenixNZ:
Damn and I'd just finished downloading 10.13 and Dori 7.2, transferred to phone and just refreshing xda......to find a new build for today and :angel:Farmfield:angel: approval of new build:D.

What to flash..... (not who to flash, but what to. LOL).

Best try latest concoction from mcm. Thanks dude. You help a flashaholic with his daily fix. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
new build is running fine so far BUT its not made for benchmarks (like the last 2 build`s).

but the good thing about benchmarks is that they are useless anyway :p

ps: or maybe mediascanner was still running, dont know.

edit: it was the mediascanner, everything is "normal" now.

benchmarks are the same (6xxx in antutu)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
ok so....

it seems as tho 14 and 15 both have MMS sending/receiving issues AND Media Scanning bug in them.

Previous one I tested before swapping to 14 then 15 was number 11.

Can someone with 13 test out and see if MMS is working on it. I am thinking of back-stepping.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
Just flashed 10/16 vsync_off build with Siyah 10/16 and 10/11 Gapps and the app "Google Play Music" is gone. Is that because of the newer Gapps?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] oneheart1975:
Tried sending a pic to my Blackberry, can't send MMS. Always "sending" and cannot complete. Tried sending from Blackberry to my S2. S2 receives the notification but cannot download. Always "downloading" and cannot complete even with strong 3G signal.

I can live without MMS since there is Viber, but better if this is resolved. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bojcha:
since i didn't change rom few days.. will try no_vsync 16.10. now. I wonder that stutter bug is gone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Upgraded to:

cm-10-20121016-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100-jbmali-oshwc2-vsync_sysfs-changmin

and

Siyah-s2-v4.1.5-cm10-jbmali-vsync_sysfs-1015

I see that the Siyah version is still 1015... but it seems to work with the 1016 ROM so im guessing you just didnt name it right MCM?

no biggy

u need to set mms apn setting by urself...check ur mms apn setting..i was like u n then i checked my mms apn setting is a bit off..so i changed according to my provider's mms apn setting...now no problem at all..

BTW if u guys think mcm build 13 + dori is the best combo....dun need to prove anything coz thats the how u guys like...but by saying that combo is the best then u guys r saying vsync is nothing(useless) coz that combo doesnt have vsync(i wrote many times about this ald)..how funny is that????lol...vsync was the main feature of mcm's build..rite?and u guys say its so smooth..blah blah blah...ppl's mind..but ur phone is ur style..there r nothing wrong with it..hahah..happy flashing guys

I think latest mcm build with siyah is really good..with vsync...

Search and download SuperSU CWM zip and flash it right after You flash new ROM. After that orginal Superuser.apk will be replaced by one from zip and after reboot You will not experience single problem with su :D Works for me :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bojcha:
why is anyway present that problem with supresu?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] radekula:
It's bug in superuser (and su) source code. CyanogenMod team decided to not use precompiled older version of superuser but to compile it directly from source code. It's a bug in newest source code of superuser app.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] stocovick:
Guys I need to drop my two cents here after flashing all these different rom versions, almost everyday for the past year. I've got to say that while I enjoyed trying different roms and kernels I just came to realize that after all this time (I have my phone for more than one year now), I've never really enjoyed my phone. It seems that we are so frustrated that our phones do not perform the way we would like to that we're always seeking better combinations between rom and kernel and in the end of the day what we got? 200 points more on quadrant? What really matters on a phone, at least for me, which is credibility I almost never had, cause every time that I really really needed my phone it left me with the desire to throw it against the wall and smash it really hard, cause it would hang in the middle of something important, or when i tried to unlock it only to find out it had sod, or it had rebooted or rebooted while I was trying to do something, or when I needed the camera to capture something really fast it was scanning my library because I had just flashed a new version and it would not respond to my commands, and one of the worst moments (And I bet many here have gone through this) when I wanted to show off to one of my friends that I had ics running on my phone while he was still on gb 2.3.3 or something like this and one or all of the above mentioned problems occurred and so on....this is so infuriating that a lot of times it went through my mind the thought of buying an iphone. I've never had one and I can't say whether it is better or not, I'm just falling for the "it just works" kind of thing. If you look at CM7 for example, after all this time it still does not have a final version, free of all the bugs. And the same thing is going to happen to CM10, it'll never reach a final stable build free of all the bugs and working the way we would like and so we will keep flashing daily builds for the rest of our lives? I've lost so many hours of my life flashing new roms and kernels and backing up and restoring, and using titanium backup, and wiping data, cache, dalvik-cache, fixing permissions and after all this time I look at my phone and I'm running something beta, alpha, pre-build or something like that were my phone does not perform the way it should and has lots of bugs....that's great. So from now on I'm sticking to something that I grew to appreciate and that is a stock samsung rom. It might not be the fastest, the smoothest or the more battery friendlier but at least it works. I'm sorry for the long post but I really needed to get this out of my chest! I really hope we get a jb samsung rom so it can help improve the development of CM10 so all of you flasholics can go to bed with the peace of mind that your phones are running with hwcomposer working, even though that might not make any difference...but I'm leaving this behind me and from now on I'm just going to enjoy my phone until it breaks and than I'll buy a nexus! Good day for everyone!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cloak:
One thing I don't understand, why a lot of people like the dorimax 7.2 combo so much.

I thought the dorimax 7.1 is the only well working dori kernel with the vsync patch, while the vsync feature is removed in the 7.2 build. I thought Dori only will implement this feature when the vsync patch is merged in the official CM 10 nightlys. On my phone the Dorimax 7.1 and vsync 1013 is working very well and faster than the 7.2 combo.

I hope CM will succeed, building up the pressure to Samsung, getting better software and driver support.

For me this will be a go, nogo buying a Samsung phone in the future. A lot of problems with this device could easily been solved with a more open mind by Samsung.

Writing this I must say building this beautiful Rom is a fantastic job.

Hi Guys,

Anyone know how to fix the AOSP keyboard keeps crashing?

what crashing problem???u need to write a detail so we can help u..

i dun understand what is ur problem but u can try this first..

1. go to setting - app - delete keyboard data - reboot

so what actually are the differences?

is it faster than the vsync build? is it less buggy?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
How do the CM kernels with 3.0.46 compare to Dorimanx 7.2 for battery performance?

What are the main differences between the official CM nightly builds and this ROM? Both run fine for me. Is there a detailed changelog for the ROM and for the kernels?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] switchgott:
How is the performance and the battery life from vsync off kernel compare to vsync sysctl?

Is it better?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bervin:
Battery is supposedly better without vsync and I'm feeling it. I'm on dori kernel and the battery is comparable to stock. Just easier way to tweak the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] switchgott:
Thanks, and what about performance?

Is is even fast as vsync?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mundixx:
The difference between them is minimal to the point of it being a likely placebo. But hey that's just me, and with that small difference, I'd rather have the battery life ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wini77:
although this is only an experimental version my phone has never let me down

from the begining the battery wasn't so friendly but the last few versions have really excelent battery and more:

quick gps that works

it's smooth

sms works, mms works

phone works

browser smooth and working

games are smooth with no ticking

camera works 100%

15th mali build with siyah
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Neil15:
Reporting on the latest mali vsync on + 1015 siyah. Is it known bug? When your on camera app. Viewing your photo's, back sensor doesnt work. You can only exit camera thru home button or swiping from left to right to get back on "capture" mode then tap back sensor button. What i mean back sensor if I didnt make it clear is this one flashing when BLN is on..

Edit: Other than that, still smooth and great. As compare to vsync off(1013) + dori 7.2, this latest rom + siyah is working good. Just for me, we all know our phone are both i9100 but acts differently. ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bl@ck:
This is off topic but i'm completely with you, i can hear your internal screams when that stuff happens because i'm the same, and i'm really fed up with all the those stuff. I use it daily, sometimes heavily, and battery lasts me 4 or 5 hrs under 3G, with screen-on barely reaching 2hrs and half even after flashing different kernels, lowering voltages, dimming the screen, changing gpu and so on, but what really kills me is having the problems you mentioned, sometimes my phone lags like hell while typing for some unknown reason, camera app stops responding at crucial times, gallery crashes for god knows why even with less than 500 pics saved in my phone, sometimes only 1 mic works during call making me unable to answer a phone call and only a reboot makes it work again, this **** is really killing the fun, and i must say this **** only happens with this device since Samsung kernel/RILs are complete and utter crap compared to HTC or Sony.

What i can suggest you is to switch to a Nexus device since those problems are non-existent, kernel is open to anyone, and built like it should, stock roms are the way you like it, pure and clean Android without gibberish, and even experimental rom work perfectly, on my Nexus 7 CM10 has 1/10th of the issue of my Galaxy S2.

Also i suggest you to try Chameleon rom, is based on latest official stock Samsung ROM, but with a 100% non modded stock Android UI, achieved without mods or reskins, i'm gonna try that one.
