I was guessing you would be the first to successfully port an i9100 Rom. Congrats and thanks for all the hard work you put in.

But I have an exam at 8am and it's already almost 3.......

Very nice work. looking forward to ONE PHONE and ONE DG ROM! cognition/perception had me flashing back and forth all the time.

---

Cool stuff . This will open up all kinds of new ROMs to AT&T Galaxy S II users. For those coming from the Infuse... think hellraiser .

---

Great work! I am super excited.

In CWM, the back button does what Home Button is supposed to do.
Managed to Use the CWM, Back to Cognition 1.5.1
Waiting for next beta.

the small beta test went horrible since everyone involved thought it was a feature request thread and wondered where all the features where from my standard Cognition lineup. [facepalm]

Flashed! This time, all APNs are there!
Problem 1: I'm constantly stuck on 3G, not sure why. Never get H or H+.
Problem 2: Default launcher screen is the first page. No biggie, more of a "feature."
I think that's it! I'll go mod the frameworks now, I think
EDIT: Got about 0.8 seconds of H+ and it jumped back to 3G. Can't get proper data. Sad.

Voice calls volume are pretty loud here!!! which is cool to me. considerably louder then all other ROMs out there. Did u use any different codecs?
Edit: Whatever you did to the audio works perfect here.

Seems like it falls back until you need it.

Any way to fix that behavior? I'd prefer to stay on 4G, it isn't worse than 3G on your battery logically.
Either way I shall test your theory throughout the day, I'll keep it and test it.

Actually it is.
http://www.research.att.com/article...1_03/201102_Energy_efficient?fbid=k8DF0O-g72R
I'm 90% certain that on phones which do correctly report their current mode, 3G is idle mode while FACH and DCH modes are reported as H. A phone never "idles" in HSPA modes. In fact I'm not sure if FACH mode is ever HSDPA. (Edit: FACH and DCH modes could be remaining as vanilla UMTS, however HSPA is not possible in Idle mode.)
AT&T's stock ROMs hide this in the framework and report everything as H+, even if when you dig deeper into the system you see that the RIL is reporting state/mode changes.

That's actually an amazing article, thanks!
It seems so, like UMTS is idle, HSPA is low power, and HSPA+ is high power. My phone stays on UMTS most of the time, and HSPA some of the time. Anyway, when I use the phone, it ramps up to HSPA+ so it's all good! Good performing ROM!
I do seem to have more lag than stock unrooted ROM though. Even with no apps installed, it lags slightly. Only occasionally. It's mostly smooth.

I've been testing it out. So far, it's good. The speed is a little low but obviously that will be fixed. I've taken the liberty of changing the over-scroll animation color back to orange, because the blue looks really gross to me. I threw in CRT screen-off animations too. Just replace your framework-res.apk with it.
I haven't found any major problems yet, and honestly it's pretty stable. No crashes, fast boot-ups, etc.
Good work designgears!

Mine refreshing my memory to where the XML for the CRT off animation is located? I know approximately where it is.
Also any clue how to disable glow altogether and put back the bounce? I like the bounce.
I'm not asking for any modding effort, just a quick explanation I wanna try it myself on my new setup.

the crt animation if i remember correctly is in the decompiled framework-res.apk in values/bools.xml youll know the line when ya see it im sure. and you should be able to get the bounce back if you replace the framework.jar with one you know that has the bounce

After you decompile the framework-res.apk, the file is located in /res/values/bools.xml. The specific line of code is
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
and you just want to change it to false to enable CRT off, true to disable it.
As far as re-adding the bounce in, I have no idea. On KH7 for our phones, it was easy to add using the source code ported from the Nexus S, but Samsung cooked them in 2.3.5. The best you could do is replace the overscroll pngs in framework-res.apk with empty pngs, but you still wouldn't get the bounce back.

I really wouldn't do that. What I would do is check if someone modded the framework.jar from KI3 for you over at the GSII themes/apps section. It's sort of dangerous to be using framework files from a different ROM. At the very least, have a backup.
