Alrighty people.....my phone is currently running on Z's FreeX10 Beta 2, which the title actually implies ;D
You probably have noticed that the LEDs between the hardware buttons are "kind of" disfunctional and thus do not work properly. A way to get them to work is to play with the automatic brightness settings, which eventually causes the LEDs to work (at least for a while). By this i mean that they quit working immediately after you lock the screen and will not start working again by simply unlocking the screen.
Just to clarify and to prevent any flaming:
--> I did read through all threads concerning the 2.2 ROM (ALL of them, i've probably browsed through them for at least a hundred times by now)
--> I did see people posting questions concerning this topic
--> I did use the search function and even google to find clues how to fix this (no success)
--> last but not least, i do know this is not an issue of great importance and that there are bigger problems to be dealt with. i just thought it'd be nice to gather info and maaaaybeee to get this bug fixed (if you may call it like that).
So, no rush, possibly, there might be someone around here with an idea, or the proper knowledge, to get the LEDs to work properly (i'd love to have them working, i do kind of like them ;D)
So finally, if anybody has an idea, just let me/the others know, there are surely others that are interested in this topic.
I've started to have a closer look at the build.prop of Z's 2.2, even at SE's 2.1 build.prop to find some clues - nope, i probably do not have sufficient skills to find an adequate solution (in J's 2.1 custom rom, the LEDs do work)!
Thank you for contributing,

I hope this thread does not get me booted off however ... What is the point of this ROM? It has been months and months and many other excellent ROMs are on the board and have been updated continuously with the latest goodies. Da_G and NRG deliver excellent ROMs all the time and yet the REP has yet to release one iteration. I vaguely recall before the thread was locked and purged, that this ROM will still be released at 6.1 although with the current timeline, maybe it will ultimately be released with 7.0. Just a question from a curious reader.
What is the purpose of this ROM? Well maybe just the diversity. So that you dont have to choose between Da_G and NRG only. If you like one of these, then use them. Others who have stayed with the Elite team from RC1 will surely flash RC5 just to see whats new and enjoy the style in which the ROM is created.
I dont quite understand why that particular rom gets stickied anyway but who am I to question the staff's judgement =x

it is pretty annoying, and rather elitist. Why do they think their rom deserves top priority attention? Don't get me wrong, elite RC3 was my first venture into flashing. But from what i've seen, the roms are well out of date compared to any of the others which see frequent updates.
Discussed, re-discussed and re-re-re-re.
Elite's team provided us with the HSPL, it was part of the Touch Pro Elite Project. Without HSPL, no ROM flashing, nothing.
Also they're work got slowed down by some personal issues for two of the members.
I personally stopped using Elite's ROM at around RC3. I also don't see whats the big deal abut it being stickied.
Thread will get closed soon, hopes this answer some questions.
Elite RC1 was my first ROM, currently chrome is my favorite, But I always prefer to have multiple options, stickied or not, keep up the good work!
I do think it's odd that there are now four and presumably five 'Release Candidates', as if what I've already installed hasn't been released. I'm not sure what happens when the team pick one to 'release'? Similarly, it's odd that a thread was setup to release a release candidate 10 days ago, but nothing has materialised and the thread is locked. Why not setup up the thread when the ROM is ready to be downloaded??
To be honest i dont understand what is the problem you see guys. Its just a forum topic. Stored somewhere on a disk drive, taking few Kilobytes of storage. Once again, if you dont want to flash any of the RCs, dont do it. Yes, its stickied, maybe other ROMs should be stickied as well, that wont probably change as soon. So just ignore the threads, if you dont wait for RC5 or dislike the Project as whole.
Again???
How often will this discussion surface?
Does someone have the idea that this is a democratic propoganda site and that the multitude of users determine whats on the menu?
No,.. it's the guys that have the possibility to make a thread sticky who determine this.
They run the show , like it or not.
Of course, in the effect they ignore all the good work done by others!
I take it as it comes. Elite project is not bringing me what I like. I like and use other ROM's instead. No need to nag about it.
Let's stick to the fact that everyone who is contributing to this site,... is in fact contributing! And thats what it's all about!

I do not agree with that statement one bit. First of all, you have to earn the moderator status. This status is given to people, who help and contribute the most to the community. Secondly, hardspl for Touch Pro was developed by a member of the Elite team. It is only thanks to this SW that we can flash our devices with any ROM we wish (it doesn't have to be Elite ROM). So there is definatelly a democracy here and the people behind Elite ROM have a great deal to do with it. If what you state were true and the the guys running this forum would really want to "ignore all the good work done by others", they would have had to act exactly the opposite way.
Who cares? If you're not a cook, it shouldn't bother you. Since this is THE place to get a good ROM, it shouldn't matter. Scroll past it and forget it... It should be mentioned that if you go through any of the RC# threads, it's discussed there. Search and find the answer, but I believe it's been mentioned here already...
Thread not related to ROM development and is starting to turn into a flame war.

This is Unofficial CyanogenMod 7 port from the Legend, here. This is an alpha release! Do not report any bugs here or on CyanogenMod bug track or forums! This is not a fully working rom, see what doesn't work below.
Not working:
Menu/Back/Genius Button
Keyboard
Working:
Everything else
Download available here.
Thank you very much for this, I'm sure the community will have fun being able to somewhat play with gingerbread till CM7 nightly builds are out next week hopefully. =]

Not really, I flashed it. Like the OP says, no back button, no menu, no genius, not even a keyboard. In addition, no auto brightness, and when you try to manually change it, the settings app force closes. As a result, screen is pretty dark for me. Also, for some reason it takes up 228 mb on /system, so I had to repartition. There are little or no cyanogenmod parts in the ROM, so frankly, I'd stick on froyo if I were you until the cm7 RC1 comes out. At least until nightlies start. Frankly, since this is alpha, it shouldn't have even been posted, it's hardly functional.
Well with the CM7 thread going on in the general forum, people were requesting arayray to upload it for testing purposes, so in large I agree with you MusicMan, but some folks are just too eager for the Gingerbread!

I agree with that somewhat, but it's hard to test something when you can't even exit an on screen keyboard since you don't have a back button. Or when you can't change an apps settings because you don't have a menu button. Not to mention you can barely see the screen. Nothing THIS alpha should be posted. If menu and back worked, and screen brightness, it MIGHT be acceptable for testing purposes. But something this early on in development shouldn't be posted.
If menu and back was working, I would use this as my daily driver
I'm going to test this to see how gingerbread is on the mytouch slide
thank you for sharing this......any idea why the framework fails to de-odex?
As I stated not a fully working rom if you can do a better job with what you got go ahead please do it, all this rom is, is basically to play with until me or someone from CM can get the vendors to build it. Take it or leave it
I had auto brightness working before but Im not going to mess with it anymore
going to give this a shot andsee how buggy it is! will report back soon
Gonna make a backup and then try this.
Just wanna take a look, haha.
If I haven't done anything with partitions, or have S-OFF, will I be okay to try?
Nothings changed, just backup and flash
I found a few things that might be a quick fix, could fix front buttons + keyboard. You can save me a couple minutes of downloading and running diff.
Did you use init.latte.rc from CM6, or did you edit init.legend.rc to fit the slide?
No I didnt try that... I have been messing with the keylayouts
Haha, this is fun.
Sure it doesn't have a lot of the buttons, but I'll just use the home button while I play around.
I'm loving the little extras like the orange glows when hitting a top or bottom border... or the little animation when locking the device...
I nearly exploded seeing that.
If anyone wants to work on fixing anything go for it, you have my blessing. Im going to try and compile a fully working rom from source
Why is xbin and lib so big on gingerbread, in froyo system folder is small. but now it's the size of a sense rom. But do you know if the gingerbread source includes ext4 file system like on nexus s?
Arayray is the man! He is the first to bring Gingerbread to us. I hope this rom will evolve, so at least front facing buttons would work.

I have just done a blanket delete of 77 posts, so if your legitimate post was caught up in that, I apologise.
Now on to the more important stuff. Racism, and swearing will not be tolerated here. In my clean up of this thread I had to delete many posts with swearing in them, and a few racist ones. Let me make it clear. I will not hesitate to have you banned if you post racist remarks. Swearing will be dealt with by way of an infraction, and flaming / trolling will be dealt with by way of a warning, then infractions if you continue.
This is the one and only warning to all concerned in this thread. Infractions / bans are the next step if you keep this up.
Hey everyone,
We've made a small change to this forum by giving it a different name. This is now the *default* Android development forum for Galaxy S II. Any works that are completely original will be filed in the Original Android Development forum. Everything else will go here.
We have a more long-term solution to the ROM situation in the works. It'll be a database-driven ROM upload tool that will make it super easy for users to find and rate the ROMs that you upload. You'll be hearing more about this in the coming months.
For now, please continue to provide feedback. Thank you for your help in making XDA a more organized place.
Thanks!
P.S. If you think your ROM should be placed in the Original Android Development forum, send me a PM.
Edit from noppy22: this thread is no longer relevant so I unstuck it...
Sveitus,
I am dissapointed that the original explainatory thread was closed without reason after it was collecting opposing comments. Not cool.
I believe what you've posted (not done, I am confident that this was done with some consultation, somewhere) should be discussed in a wider context.
To that end, I've opened a thread in the XDA general forum with an admittedly emotive title "First and Second Class ROMS, 1st, 2nd class users". Please track this thread, assuming it's not lost amidst the noise.
I would have posted my concerns in the original notification thread except...
What gives?
Just imagine someone from sensation comes here and sees two development threads...
Sensation owners must be jealous by now..
But why is this only done on the GALAXY S2 subforums? Please, implement this on all phone subforum. I want to see how others would react.
Still think this is a stupid idea. If devs don't want other devs recycling their works, better not publish it. Or you can just close the thread of the ROM that was derived from an another ROM without permission/due credit.
The current situation is not something new to all of us.
There were always have been such ''issues'' among the rom developers.
xda team the way you chose to work this out is not good at all.
I'm starting to think that you don't listen to the majority of the users...
You hear a few dev's that probably are jealous of others...
This is not right for the community.
I personally am not supporting anyone particularly, but you must find another solution.

If this is the case, then no custom roms should be in "original" section, as they are all derived from the stock manufacturer's roms.

All hell would break lose and their would be a mass exodus of developers and some pissed off members.
And why was the other thread closed. Perhaps XDA didn't like that all the negative PR they were getting. This plan was poorly conceived and executed. And to make it worse, XDA is being the judge, jury and executioner.
I am quite disappointed that this unjustified separation and disqualification of some devs work is still not corrected. You justified your step by "feedback" asking for it. I believe you are severely misleading people here.
You earned a lot of justified feedback in the first thread being deleted meanwhile and still you don't get things sorted out.
It is obviously totally wrong to piss off devs and force them to prove they are not guilty of what you may think. It ought to be the other way around: you should have a prove to claim what you state before you behave (and take action) the way you did. Some kind of US wild west mentality around here. I understand when people think that you only try to protect some of the devs being closer to you or being longer active on xda than some others. The selection of Roms being put to one or the other section proves that already since there seems to be no logic behind your decisions. Some early birds being put to the second class thread while some others who have just released quite usual stuff but were active with other hardware before have been put to the first class thread. And till now no kind of explanation why this or that Rom has been put here or there? What about Litenin e.g. which has been asked for a dozen times in the first, deleted thread ?
And above all: what kind of guilt do you think of ?
We are talking about open source here and all Roms are derived from Samsung stuff except for CM / MIUI. So where does originality start and where does it end? And who may decide: Even if a custom ROM was copied from another custom one in the first step it might have become an own developement over time.

The other thread was closed because it was a discussion on the Derived ROMs Forum format, which as you state wasn't what we hoped it would be. So, changed the forum format. The old discussion was closed and a new one started to discuss this iteration. The thread was also started and stuck by svetius.

The thread hasn't been deleted, it's been closed. The reasons (while obvious) are above.
Clearer..
<sarcasm>
This titling does make it clearer..
Example:
Original Development: CM7
It's built from the ground up with a myriad of coded additions to be a truly 'Original' product.
Development: Everything else
All other ROMS are stock deodexed upgrades.

Don't like this idea...

Closed or deleted - did not see it but no big difference anyway.
And there is nothing obvious neither about the closing nor the separation.
If you like to install a new tool do so. Build it, introduce it. Till then leave things as they were, stop separation and maybe excuse for the mess you produced by an unbiased decision... My 5 ct

I really don't understand what an "original ROM" is. Google wrote the only original Android ROM imho.
here's a thought.
Villain Rom Lite is in "original" even though it's clearly based off VillainRom.
There's CLEAR favoritism going on here.
It should either be merged with the original or moved. It's just the same ROM with removed apps. How is that "original"?
Simple Result:
As far as I see; Some devs are out of business and as far as I feel, more to be...

Uhm actually the fact that thread was buried a few pages until yesterday meant svetius may have missed it. Moved it across.
That's grand, we don't have derivated roms anymore, we have originals and others (stolen, fakes, not so cool). I like the way mods are listening...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I must admit, the way the mods have chosen to separate the two development sections doesn't sit well with me at all. The criteria for which section a ROM goes in to is very subjective and open to various interpretations, all of which are prone to the moderator's possible bias.
Strictly speaking, only one or two ROMs are 'original development' and belong in that section. All the others are derivatives in some way or another.
A better way to clean up the dev forum would be to have a couple of sub-sections; perhaps one for all ROMs (regardless of source), one for kernels and related modifications and another for android-specific modifications. Then, be strict about enforcing the sub-section criteria. Also, ask ROM chefs to state in their OP whether the ROM is based on another ROM and to credit the original developer/chef.
Everything else goes in Themes & Apps.
Also, having a mandatory format for thread titles (a la the HD2 forum) is an excellent way to keep things tidy and ensure that people know when a new release has been posted and what the releases are based upon. It worked over in HD2 rather well I thought. After coming from an HD2 to the S2, I thought that the S2 forums were a little untidy to say the least.
Ok, serious mode off, back to my usual sarcastic self.
OK, I dont agree with the splitting of the forums, but its not my decision and will go along with it. One thing that does really annoy me and needs to be fixed is that this new forum doesnt show up on the android app. Can that be fixed? I like keeping up with a few roms here and am usually on the move.

No harm in disagreeing! If enough people disagree, the mods may relent on this decision.
Over the past ~2 weeks, many people have been seeing this bug. We often write it off as being the bug that requires you to flash a Sense ROM, get a lock, then flash back to AOSP, but this is something different. Rather than discussing this separated in half a dozen different threads, I'd like for us to tackle this bug here in a thread focused to it.
I've seen what I believe to be this bug manifest with two different symptoms:
Full GPS works fine while network location works in some apps but gives you an obviously bogus location in other apps.
Full GPS works fine while network location works in some apps and simply fails in other apps.
NOTE: If Full GPS fails for you (such as in Google Maps), then go tackle that problem first before discussing here. If full GPS fails, then you probably have the bug that requires you to flash a Sense ROM. Please do NOT confuse that bug with this one!
I have seen this bug reported for all functional AOSP-based ROMs that I've followed, specifically CM7, OMFGB, OMGB, and Liquid Thunderbread. The funny thing is that some people get this bug while others do not, and there is not a clear pattern.
As I said before, this is clearly happening on pretty much every AOSP-based ROM. What is not clear, however, are what causes this. So it sure would be nice to figure this out. I'm not sure exactly what we need to do to find this but since you all are smart cookies, we'll still figure this out...

We aosp users have been plagued with the location bug for a VERY long time when it comes to rom dev time. Has anyone even bothered to look into it, or has everyone just excepted that it dosent work?
every thread or mention ive seen on multiple forums all ended in DEAD TOPICS.
rootz wiki has a DEAD 9 page thread on the matter, not one further post.
XDA has... 0 threads?( correct me if im wrong) on this, but ALOT of mentions
can I ask a dev to look into this? Excuse me for making broad assumptions, but it appears to me that all devs are doing right now is working on the bells and whistles for their roms and modding kernels and such while this bug got swept under the rug. I can understand that devs are BUSY and I thank them for that, I just request that we iron out this little bug, so that these AOSP gems are FLAWLESS.
Hi
As this is the Q and A section of the X10 forums I thought this would fit right in!
Since I last installed FeraLab v.20 Final I've more or less cured myself from the flash-fever I had earlier. As a direct consequence of that, my visits to these forums has been quite sporadic to say the least. And now, when I return I find that the camera development for ICS based roms has taken a huge leap forward!
Now 6mpix seem to be functioning as expected and the full 8mpix is more or less fixed, apart from issues with rendering (huge over generalization). Video also seem to be more or less on a highway to becoming fully functional!
Questions:
How did this come about?
Who did what?
Was Sony themselves involved?
How much is left before we have fully functioning camera/video/hotspot features under ICS in our X10?
Might JellyBean even be possible as a direct result of this development?
The questions are many, but these are really interesting times!
+1 on those. We'll wait patiently, hope all the best effort from XDA developers. I don't think any SONY involvement on this kink of custom development, but our support by Donate would be great beneficial..
Cheers

I can answer few question
Sony was not involved in it.
Zdzihu was the one who started it giving giving wvga camera working firstly. Here's the post . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28818020&postcount=1028
he came out of nowhere and posted that lol He always does that and has done in past and hopefully will do in future p
Then championswimmer tried to compile camera and after few tries he was able to get 6 mp camera working.( I guess zdzihu's camera fix helped him)
No one knows how much time will it take for complete working of cm9.( FXP is involved in cm9 so hopefully they will be able to do it)
As for JB AFAIK FXP isnt going to develop cm10 for X10 but someone else might
I guess your doubts have been cleared
