[Q] Sudden Color Problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I am on gingerbread 2.3.6 and I9100G GS2. It was running smoothly, i sent a text and suddenly the colors collapsed. I am not really sure what to do, they have become very sharp, red has become pink and so on!
Should i flash 2.3.3 as my friend is running it and his GS2 seems fine!
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
p.s: Kernel version is 2.6.35.7 and [email protected] #2.
I9100GHZKK1

Backup data and factory reset is the first step .
jje

Already tried but its the same!

Ive noticed on occasions when Ive flashed a kernel that sometimes the whites on my screen have gone from a bright white to a dull tinted brown and have had to download the kernel again and reflash to get the white back or even change kernels.Maybe you have a kernel failer.Flashing a new firmware will give you a new kernel so it might be an option to look at.Either root your phone or flash if a fact/rest doesnt work.

Thanks Cooza! I will try to flash a new FW!

possible solution

I was tweaking my apps, using TI and another app to freeze and/or uninstall various apps when suddenly all my colors went haywire. Purple, tan and green figured highly in this new scheme. When I restarted the device the colors were normal for a few seconds then went back to the altered colors. Access to accounts was partially disabled. Some worked some didn't. I searched and found nothing on point. I went into Settings/Backup and reset/Reset settings and everything went back to stock. From there I reset my wallpapers and preferences. Seems OK now.

CyanogenMod 6.1.3 V4.5.7. errors

Ok firstly big thanks to everyone on here helping me get this far
Secondly i have to problems with this mod:
In cyanogenmod settings i always get "force close" when i try to click the update notification button ?
Themes i can properly flash and install and they show in cyanogen settings but when i apply them the dont work, even after reboot ? , i have tried the three on wolfbreaks post to no avail
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
The update notification force close is because the files for it were not included because the X10 is not supported by cyanogenmod so the update notification doesn't actually function on our phone even if the file is included. This was discussed many many times in the main thread already.
As for your theme issues, you could try downloading it again and applying it again. It's possible the xml file was corrupted. What theme were you trying to use?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
same here.. no theme changes.. fc in update notification and anonymous stats.. tried with both mine and my wife's x10s also but no changes. stock, stock_black, froshedyoV10, cm6.1.3-v4 all the same
ok thanks,
And yer themes i have tried setting and downloading reflashing , but to no avail,
i had one that nearly worked, but only got about 50% of the actual theme, then went to change it, and back and forth etc and never again did anything happen
cheers
Oh the theme I wanted to use was the gingerbread theme from the rom post but I also tried the theme already in it
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Has anyones contact and phone icons changed back to how they are supposed to be? The changelog said he fixed it, but they are still the SE icons.
Any fixes. ??? Anyone?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
and the top half of the screen seems to not respond to being touched, it works if you touch the bottom and drag up , it recognises being touched but not if you touch it at the top. I know its software based because when i rotate the screen in works on the same basis where the top 1/3 does not work
welldont know what your problem is im using said rom with no problems everything works for me as thousands of others only thing i can think of is you have installed the rom incorrectly
try again but delete everything ie dalvik batt stat cash and full system then reinstall
I don't have a real solution for your problems with themes, but you could try others installing them with xRecovery, I installed "froshedyoV10".
Ah, yeah, taking advantage of this thread... I installed this awesome ROM and it's running so freaking fast, Im amazed! My X10 became ten times better, now I REALLY DON'T understand how Eclair 2.1 (wich it was laggy and slow) could improve the user experience more than Froyo... But hell.
cof, cof... OK, the only issue I have is my button leds, they don't turn on anymore since I installed CM. Anyone would know why?

[ROM][XXKI4][Nov14] best ICS theme ever - DISCONTINUED

discontinued
can u make a seperate file for the dialer? that looks hella sexy.
Sure... flash this via CWM: multiupload.com/IXSELU2MEU
(should work on any XXKI4 ROM, but if you want to be save, do a backup first)
i was just looking for an ICS themed rom, with no need for further theeming, i'm very glad that i have found this
the base rom is 2.3.5 KI4? cause right now i'm on KI4, but is 2.3.4
does it have overscroll glow?
and, can u add custom percentage to battery, to display the remaing %?
cheers
Yes, it's 2.3.5 and it has the blue overscroll glow (but no bounce).
I'll have a look at the battery percentage, will add it to 1.0.
Nice! does the DIALER support MULTI DPI? i am looking for this really long time and no one seems to know how to do it...
i use 190 DPI SCREEN DENSITY
It's not explicitly multi DPI, so probably won't work. I haven't tested it though.

(make a nandroid backup for safety first...)
I love it... however it's in German lol can you give me directions to setting English as my lang?
Any ideas how it landed on German?
update-- sorted out. weird though.
anyone else experience this?
Glad you sorted it out
That's really weird, though. I will look into it, but I'm not sure I'll find out what's going on (default language for the ROM is actually en-GB).
EDIT: I can't reproduce this... it stays English after flashing... let's wait for additional feedback.

yeah mine was also in German and had to change it, and my lock screen wont work. the pattern lock, or the other locks dont work, now im not sure if that has to do with the kernel. i just have a the xxKI4 stock kernel installed.
Lockscreens work fine here. The ROM installs its own kernel. Did you install another kernel after the ROM?
What ROMs are you coming from? Mine stays English after flashing, I can't reproduce the language issue.

I'll have a look, but I don't have much time...
well i needed to get titanium backup to work so had to install an unsecure kernel to root the device, and i didnt know what kernel to use to to put back on.
---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------
is there a way to root it without installing an unsecure kernel?
I'll upload 0.9b in a few minutes, which has working root. Will be up in about an hour.
Hello,
it seems there is a little graphical bug with availlable wifi networks popup :
On my phone (SamICS 0.9), the signal strength is white on a white background so you can't see it.
Best regards.
Nice rom, I also encountered the language issue as i think when i first flashed rom it was in Danish? anyways i managed to get it into English. Apart from that everything else seems to work fine
Danish, not German? That's more likely, I had that with other ROMs, too - including Hyperdroid, which this one is based on. It's strange, since the default language is set to en-GB.
The WiFi signal is fixed (more or less) in 1.0, since the background is more grey-ish now.
EDIT: 1.0 uploading...
Is a very good rom i tested from 3day an they no bug but simply grafics problem and i think its going to be resolved to the new version
thanks good job
New ROM is up!
The theme is more refined now, but there are some Gingerbread limitations (e.g. black text on dark grey background, because making the text white would make it disappear in other apps that have white backgrounds).
It's very usable, though, and I personally love the ICS theme.
Have fun and report back how it's working for you!

Downloading. Will let you know in a little while
Thanks. Nice ROM. Icons in the status bar are blurry though. Apart from that, working fine for now.
Also, what file in the framework do I need to change to change the background that shows when we are in the Settings menu etc? Kinda obtrusive the default ones, so wanted to change them.
EDIT: Superuser is denying all apps root access, without any prompt showing up. Tried with both Titanium and Root Explorer.

The icons in the status bar look blurry because i did't have time to resize them.I promise that this will be fixed in future versions.
Maybe the problem with the su apk is caused by the kernel you are using.I never encountered such a problem when i run the tests but i was using my kernel instead.
Please, if you find any other bug, let me know...
Thanks in advance...

I am not familiar with the kernels available for mt11i because i do not own the device...
I can assure you though, that everything will run flawlessly if you use my kernel for mt11i:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496102
My friend uses this setup on his mt11i for about a week and no problem has risen...
Good rom.for instalations folows next step:
1.instal firmware .062
2.instal this kernel;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496102
3.enter in CWM and full wipe
4.instal hybrom v.15
5. 2 reboot

7.enjoy
I'm going to flash it today, or at least tommorow, and see how the rom is rolling at neo v. Going to report back soon
Edit 1: Okey, I see I have 2 launchers installed at begining. So I'm able to chose which one I would like to use, and just uninstall the another one
Edit 2: A little feedback The picture of background in settings menu is not so good in my opinion, it would be nice if there would be an option that will replace the image as just black background.. And second, the lack of OC option on your kernel

If you want, you can install another stock based kernel with OC.The rom will work fine with it.You will never get OC from my kernel.It's a way of thinking.I do not see it as a disadvantage.
If you want you can install another theme and change the settings background.
Please give some feedback on some other important issues like stability, speed, smoother scrolling, better touchscreen responsiveness, etc in comparison with stock firmware...
By the way, the resize of the icons is almost ready and i will probably release a flashable zip with the fix soon enough...
regarding the kernel.... if we use kernel nightelf is not better then kernel 62???what i mean if i using nightelf kernel can i just flash the u're rom??????

Hybrom is built without a boot image, and it can be installed on an any stock based kernel.
The choice about what kernel you will install is up to you.I prefer kernels without overclocking.
In the end you will have more disadvantages from an overclocked kernel (overheating, instability) than advantages (speed)
I agree;i use boof kernel and everythings work perfect.

I always wondered how will Diezel's Sony Sketch font look on our large screens
p.s. that font is not used in SE logo, it's created later based on look of SE logo
SE logo was made just as a logo, it was drawn.
To be honest it's a bit thin Not sure if we(on android) can change size,formatting of fonts.

Looking forward to see that, as when using this rom I feel somehow strange, like things aren't properly sized
Also in sms, icon in upper right part, for new sms, is a bit to large. Same thing happened when I tried using conv. app from xperia S.

-stability, hm ok didn't experience any problem.
-speed, speed of each app is ok, but switching between apps is slow, I would say to slow. for example when i receive sms and pull down status bar, click on it, sometimes it need 2,3 second to switch to sms.
-smooth scrolling is ok (why just ok? well maybe didn't pay much attention to that )
-touchscreen responsiveness, well I noticed one annoying thing, usually on stock, when light turns off ->touchscreen is off, and you can wake your phone with only hard keys. In your rom you can wake phone even touching on (turned off)screen which lasts only 2-3 second after it turns off. That wouldn't be a big problem if not only you wake it up but you actually press something
Also I noticed low number of free ram, I guess it's because of launcher and maybe other stuff you used.

About sonysketch font:I really didn't know which of the two came first.The logo or the font...
Useful information.
About icon resizing:Icons in the SystemUI.apk are resized and a flashable zip containing the new resized SystemUI.apk is uploaded on the first page of this thread under the "USEFUL CWM FLASHABLE ZIPS" section(SystemUI.apk is the one responsible mostly for the icons in your status bar).Framework-res.apk is now under resizing and it's half done.One or two more apks. and everything will be o.k.
About conversations.apk:The icon (for new conversation) is like the one from xperia s because this is the xperia s conversations.apk.It has nothing to do with resizing...
About screen going off:The screen after about 20sec gets dimmer.It doesn't turn off.It turns off after 30 sec.In this 10sec interval you have the chance to fully wake your screen only by touching it.After the 30sec have passed you will have to press the (hard) home key to wake your screen.
About free ram:Please give me some numbers... (I already have improved this feature in the upcoming v16)
P.S. i do not own an mt11i,so testing is very hard (a friend of mine owns an mt11i,but i do not see him often).So, posts like the previous one, are very useful for me.Please give me some more feedback and i may be able to bring neohybrom at the levels of the original hybrom...

About screen, if you didn't changed levels, it should dim like stock, right? I know about that, but I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking that when screen goes off(really off, no dim) you can still wake up phone by touching screen.
About rams, hm, I moved back to stock, so can't check real numbers, but I remember after some time it gets down to ~70-80, it doesn't get freeup, and i didn't even used much apps, regular calls,sms,gtalk, 1-2 times browser.
only after I use one of those widgets from GO(sorry don't know name, as I don't use it usually) to kill apps, it only goes to ~130.

Not again!

I had a a galaxy note a couple months ago and after I put the black star v3 rom on it, it started like freezing or locking up I should say. The screen would go black during the lock up then come back on act very very sluggish and after a couple minutes everything would be normal. I set everything back to stock (well maybe not all the way stock) installed the objection rom and it started doing the samething again. Before I installed the black star rom I was having no such problem with other roms I had installed before black star. I was still under warranty so I got a brand new spanking note, dropped in the black star 4, didn't like the black and white icons, so I switched to the objection again (most recent) and everyonce in awhile I get the same problem again. Anyone got any suggestions? Thank you.
You might have a background app or service that is crashing. If you go into Settings -> Developer Options, check Show all ANRs. This should show you a message when a background app crashes. It might help you identify the cause.

That is not the ROM or any ROM....I agree with lactardjosh :good:, never had this issue with BStar (at is is my DD) or any ROM that I have installed, and just about install all the ROMs in these threads, just mho.

When you reinstall apps after a new rom is flashed only install apps you download from market or developer. Never ever restore any system apps and their data.
And factory reset and wipe wipe wipe. The time you think you save costs a lot of aggrevation later.

[Q] i9305, problem with Ripper Rom v13 (Battery icon + more)

Hi,
I have been using the ripper rom for some time and i love it.
The problem now when i updated to v13 is that the battery icon changed back to stock and my icons in the notification bar went missing
I tried to wipe everything but no luck
I'm back on v12 now and everything works fine! What am i doing wrong?
Regards,
Marcus

So I also upgraded to the V13 and my battery icon went back to stock. Though I realize a lot of time and work was put on to get JKay looking as good as is does, I'm not a big fan of black and blue things around my screen. But yet installing JKay, with everything it has, was what gave me options to change my battery icon. Maybe this will help you Marcus.
I have one more problem which may not sound that tough BUT is such a normal feature that you only understand how important it is when it doesn't work. My clock failed to open. Tried many things including changing settings of app to 240p but no go. Set to 320 and nothing. You tap to open, the top clock bar loads and it thinks for a bit then crashes.
I have just reflashed V12 and clock works again. I'll keep v12 now until a solution comes up OR a v14...
Cheers! =)
