Just noticed DCD 4.1 is up on his site. Will probably try it this weekend. Anyone try it yet?
I posted this earlier a couple people have tried it.

I agree DCD, and I'm sure a lot of others do too. Post here or somewhere else. If you go somewhere else, leave us some breadcrumbs so we can find you.
I gave it a try, seems to run well. About 23meg on start up. Anyone else?
same here 23 mb on start up - with app. s2u2, GPS, TomTom, call calendar, s2p,and more .....
runs smoth ...thanks DCD
Gonna try this NOW....
SDAutoRun issue?
has anyone else had a problem with UC? this rom seems awesome 27.32mb on clean boot, but UC seems to hang and isnt installing anything. anyone else?
EDIT: nevermind. 1 damn symbol missing from my code.
I'm using this rom now and I don't have any problems yet. I'll post updates if I do.
same here. loving it so far
Were the vouge dialers calc and comm manager removed? They seemed to be when I flashed...
I also had a HUGE text msg problem where it tried to (and did) resend a TON of my unsuccessful texts and from months back...this was just after I did a simple restore with Pim Backup, it never happened on any other release.
My free mem was also less than 3.3.4, and 3.3.4 has 48.25 total whereas 4.1 only has 47.45MB total.
So, I'm still rocking 3.3.4 and loving it. I'll wait till DCD officially releases it as sometimes, he just posts things up there as beta tests for friends.
so heres a new one. my phone just HARD RESET itself. i noticed my text messages didnt have contacts anymore, tried opening my contacts and it said it oculdnt be found. i opened resco explorer to restore my contacts, and it said it couldnt be found. i soft reset the phone and it loaded the calibration screen and went through UC again. ****.
Text messages that have been read show up as NOT being read. I'm using Manila 2d, so I have to scroll through them a few times and they will finally be marked at read. Pretty annoying. I had to flash back to 3.3.4.
Neurom3 did that same thing, plus battery life with Neurom3 is horrible.
I don't see any problems with text messages, I don't see why people are complaining.
a) no one is complaining. just reporting
b) the problem is, every text message must basically be selected in order to save it as read. if you get 2 txts at the same time from 1 person, and open it, the 1st txt received will stay in bold us unread, unless you scroll up with the pad, passed the second text, and let the cursor land on or go above the contact's name. so this also means that if you have a pretty old text message that you never selected, you either have to delete the chain, or scroll up through pages to find your 1 unread text.

Hmm, I haven't that problem really, though maybe I just automatically do that. But I have BAD (black hole) reception at my house so if I try and send a text it usually says message not sent, click to try again. So it's never automatically resent texts and this time it was apparently successful sending 50 texts over hours of time - which I didn't know about.
I tried his one from Dec25th but it had the new IE app which I didn't like since I use lots of websites that work nice and fast with older pocket IE. The dialer and connection manager skins were also ugly. Haven't seen those in a long time...
After I flashed the new 4.1.0 ROM, everything seemed to be fine except the number 1 button on the dialer keypad disappeared. Has anyone experienced that? Is there a solution for the problem?

LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..
I've read earlier posts that had the same problem I do, but most of them were old (and hopefully the problem has been fixed now)
Swype makes the messaging lag because the client has to load a certain amount of messages before you can start. is there a way to either fix this, OR make the client not load as many messages?
i experienced the same problem so had to ditch swpye a few months back, great substitute for typing making fewer mistakes savng time so if anyone does have a solution please let us know
nope, apart from regularly deleting your texts theres no way round it....
swype has its own issues with lag though whether its htc messaging or winmo messaging... even right now ads I try and type this reply swype is making me want to smash my face into the phone and scream "why wont you type? why wont you ducking type!!"
Go to settings tab, then More.
then go to 'Personal', and go to 'Input'.
When your input methode is Swype, tap on the button Options.
In the options scroll a bit down, and look for the part called 'Operation'.
Slide the slider of Speed vs Accuracy completely to the left (fast response).
Then tap ok, and it should work better.
Let me know if it worked for you, because they told me here on XDA it can possibly work, but I dont have received enough text messages yet to test it.

Nah, that's how I always keep mine, using it any either way drives my crazy-er! thanks for trying though.

had same problem for a long time , only affects swype
On the hd2 their are temp files the msging app uses i noticed its bassicly a giant debug log. When I saw mine after only having my phone for 2 months it was about a gig or so...I highly suggest deleting that. I am not sure if the HD2 opens that or its just an appendage type thing.
the best "solution" I've discovered is just turning off threaded messages. it's kind of frustrating, but there is no lag now...
I've found that custom keyboards are laggy for me too. The best solution that I have found is to simply make my phone faster. when I overclock or install a custom kernel on my phone, it usually decreases the lag caused by custom keyboards.

Good point, but it does not work everywhere. If you open a message from the sense preview it always starts the threaded view even if it is disabled in the inbox. Do you know a way how to disable threaded view there too?

Yes, you're right, and no, I don't. I just have to go through all the shenanigans of clicking everything. To me, it's worth it to use swype, and it's still faster and less tedious in my opinion, than waiting for messages to load.
Now I am using the ShapeWriter beta. It does not lag like Swype, however I really miss the vibration and a few other things. like swyping smileys.
For me, the lag only occurs when I use the newer version, 3.9.
If I use the older version of Swype I get no lag. Don't know what the version is but I attached a screen shot of it.
Hi all - after searching the forum I found several similar problems, but not this one specifically, so here it is.
In the SMS view I try to reply to somebody. If it's a new message, everything works just fine. But, if that's like the 20th text (as shown in the sms list in the form of a dialogue list above the writing box) here's what happens: after a few seconds (or after software finishes counting previous texts) the writing box freezes up. I can still write, I can still see the suggestions, but nothing changes in the writing box. I can close the keyboard and then see what I wrote, then open it again and continue writing. In addition to that, I've noticed that the 'hide keyboard' button works in a strange way. When the keyboard is visible, the button is highlighted. I tap it, it is not highlighted anymore, but the keyboard stays visible. If I tap it again nothing really happens, as the keyboard is still visible, but the writing box refreshes and I can see what I wrote. I noticed this only happens when my phone, after a few seconds, highlights the message I'm replying to. I don't really need the friggin message to be highlighted for me, so do you perhaps know a way to disable this function? Should I use some kind of alternative keyboard, install new software? This glitch is not mentioned in any SMS firmware update from HTC. My sys: OS ver 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82), Manila 2.5.19211619.0
I use HTC HD2, of course.
I think your have a normal HD2, ive head about on here already, but its a htc "feature" so you can re read the message...the problem is the stock txt system, you start typing a new messge as your phone is still counting, then when it gets to the last it then pops up..there is a thead on here that someone has modifed, I cant find it at the min, but its there somewhere, most custom roms have it on already.Hope this helps bud.
try looking for on google messaging client or along them lines
A family member has an android phone, and bad signal where they live, so a lot of outgoing SMS messages end up failing.
To my dismay I find out, basic functionality like, continuing to retry, like my old motorola did 10 years ago, isn't included in Android!
I searched and searched for an app to correct this, but I could only find ONE and it was paid and only had a handful of reviews so I don't really want to recommend it.
Surely other people have this problem, there should be more choices, shouldn't there?
Can anyone point out some apps to get around this?
thanks
I also live in a poor signal area and suffer this problem. It's annoying having to go back to the message, click on it etc to re-send. Like you I can't believe there isn't a simple app to do this, or rather it should be built-in. I have a HTC Legend. It's my first Android, and the first phone I've ever had that doesn't re-send failed messages.
Are there any apps that let you manually resent an SMS that failed?
Edit: I found that Go SMS Pro did.
I also saw a couple that claimed to automatically resend but I can't remember the names. You should search the market again.
I've found an app that does this:
CrowdSMS
That proves it can be done, but the app is mostly useless: it doesn't replace your stock SMS app because it doesn't display or show replies. All it does it send texts, then you have to go back to your standard app to read any replies. It sucks. The amount of timewasting and frustration I've experienced because android wont do this automatically is bonkers.
Galaxy S8/Others -Resend Messages - Frustratingly..... EASY !
It's so ridiculously simple, yet so frustratingly difficult to figure out ! ! !
Instead of holding your finger on the MESSAGE that failed, hold your finger on the EXCLAMATION MARK ! ! !
Then the "Resend" option magically appears.
Pulled my hair out for several hours until figuring it out !!!
:silly:
Have fun, everybody!

Ok first of all, hi ! Yes im the latest annoying newbie but I will try to keep my annoying questions to as few posts as possible.
Ok so the Galaxy S 2. My dear god I love this phone but sweet Jesus its driving me crazy ! It seems that to use a smartphone today you need to be a member of forums such as these or a degree in techstuffthatjustsoundslikenonsensetome.
For the life of me I cant believe modern smartphones do not come with a manual. I remember my old nokias of a decade ago came with small books to guide you through what was basically calling and texting ! These days...nothing and the manual from Samsung is hardly any better than the 'leaflet' that comes in the box. Anyway rant over but after exploring for days and searching on tinternet for answers I still cant solve a few issues I have with this phone so please any help would be a god send.
1. Vibration level. Is it me or is it crap ? My old 3g ( goodbye forever Apple ) could practically take me across a linoleum floor if i sat down but i just dont feel it when its in my pocket. I have it up to max but have missed every call so far !
2. Sms notifications. I have installed Go sms pro which is a great little app and i prefer it over the stock sms. However i cant stop getting sms through from the stock app as well as go sms pro ! I have uncked all available boxes in settings for the stock one but still getting them through, its driving me nuts. How can i receive texts only through go sms pro ?
3. Contact photos. Just cant sync them with facebook at all. when i try all i get is two each of the same people in my contact list, one for fb and other with phone details etc. All i want is a bleeding picture next to my contacts Am I missing something very simple or is this a good example of companies alienating the average consumer with 'harder than it needs to be' technology ?
And lastly
4. Web page autofit. So if I double tap on text it should autofit right? Well all it does is zoom in. I have tried all different settings, double tapping at different speeds etc and it works about a third of the time so I just dont know what im doing differently those times ! Do you have to tap on a specific part of the screen to auto fit or what ?
Anyway I hope your not all lighting your torches by now, I have looked for the answers ( and looked, and looked ) but to no avail and tried the suggestions from similiar questions on here but alas my love / hate relationship with this phone continues.
For many of your questions, a good old fashioned search would have turned up quite a few answers.
Just saying.
But....
This seemed to deal with your fb questions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088385&highlight=facebook+contacts
As for question four, have a search for 'text reflow'.

Thank you for your reply. With respect, as mentioned in my op I have searched for the issues raised and read the thread you linked to however my problems persist.
Does anyone else see the vibration level as an issue ? It does seem very low to me.
Yes, the vibration issue is a big problem for me too. I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS and before that I used a Nokia E71. Both of those phones' vibration would wipe the floor with SGS 2.
When I first got it, I kept searching in the menu for a setting, but there was only one for haptic feedback strength, not notification vibration.
I'm just hoping a future firmware update will fix this or a code will be revealed where we can set vibration strength.

wait so text reflow DOES work for you sometimes when you pinch to zoom, then double tap that text and it fits the screen? cause most are saying it's not working on the SGS2. but i tested the samsung infuse last night, and it does in fact work like normal. so is everyone here not performing it correctly?
what i did on infuse, load a webpage, it loads zoomed out. i pinch to zoom to a desired level, then release. text goes off the screen edge. then double tap the text i zoomed to, and it re-formats to fit the screen.
we assumed this does not work on teh SGS2.
Feeling your pain, dare I say starting to think I wish I bought a htc sensation.
Come on, the facebook issue is a joke. I dont want multiple contacts of the same contact, ok ive merged them now, and hidden other fb contacts. That is until I want to send a txt, whoa they are all there again.
Sign out of fb, merged contacts disappear.
I just took this stuff for granted on my aging htc topaz.
Can't get any 3rd party launcher to display photo wallpaper properly.
Reader hub, sns etc, what a load of...
Page rendering/text reflow, taken for granted.
Hotmail, can't sync junk folder unless using exchange, which only downloads first part of email, click to load more.
Could go on.

Thank s for the replies, at least im not being a noob when it comes to these issues. its actually a relief ti know its software bugs and not me !
As for the double tap method i can confirm it DOES sometimes work to autofit the text. that is why i was getting frustrated when most times it does not work. i thought i was tapping a different part of the screen or some thing. i double tap in and out about six or seven times and then it will suddenly autofit.
im really hoping they sort the message notification bug out. as for Facebook i spent an hour earlier saving pics from fb, tra nsferring them ti my ohone and then adding my contacts pics one by one. pain in the arse but its done now.
typing this on my s2 has reminded me of another annoyance. the bloody full stop being so close to the space key i always have about 6 full stops in every sentence.

Better keyboard. Just get it. Or multi-lingual keyboard. Either will solve that problem
not sure why someone mentioned the "double SMS notifications" is a bug because it clearly IS NOT
you just have to go into the STOCK MESSAGING app, go to settings and UNCHECK "Notifications" (its at the very bottom of the settings)
I have Go SMS pro installed as well and only get ONE notification from SMS pro when i get a SMS - none from the stock messaging.
If the notification box is checked in the STOCK messaging app then you will get a notifcation from both the stock app and goSMSpro
I think it was very difficult to fit a bigger vibration motor in a smart-phone so thin like SGS2.
I guess we will have to live with it as is.
