Recent applicatins - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ve been using Checkrom V4. It's an excellent rom imho. Is there any way to increase the number of recent applications when I hold the home button. Now I see only 6 i would like to have 8 like in some cyanogenmod roms...
Thanks in advance

As far as I know that's only available in custom ROMs however I'm not familiar with Checkrom V4.
Please post in the Checkrom forum and ask over there.

I haven't ever heard anything like that is even possible...I had every ROM from Original Development and never found settings for something like increasing the amount of recent apps.
But...I was satisfied with 6 apps.

Yes. I don't have them on my G harmony rom. I did wipe data etc, it was a clean install.
Then they weren't built into the rom

There is probably a setting in the launcher to either enable/disable "full screen" or "hide/show status bar" or something like that. It's specific to the launcher you're using. Suggest you ask in the G Harmony thread, and/or look closely at all available settings to see if you can find it yourself.

Nope. They aren't on every ROM. GoJimi created the ones that are ONLY on the VEGAn-Tab ROMs (and subsequently his code was used on the CM7 tablet tweaks) - but they are not included on "every ROM".
Button Savior is the only way to get something like them on any other non-VEGAn-Tab rom or CM7 build with the tablet tweaks.

Well, actually the TnT based roms have them too
But your point is well taken.

Really? which ones? If I remember right it would have to be the latest ones... but it's been a LONG time since I used a manufacturer-based stock ROM or MOD so my memory is a little fuzzy.
All tnt based mods have soft buttons in the status bar. They are spread out a little differnt than gojimi's, but they are there.
Tnt stock, tnt lite, calk's, etc. go check the screen shots.
Vegan's are still better

If so, that is what I am using. Are they there automatically or did you have to turn them on?? Maybe I had a bad install, if this is the same rom your using...
CM7 Harmony 7.0.3 has the soft buttons on the notification area. You can select up to 5 buttons. You can also choose to have the button to the left or the right side of the screen. All the options are in Home>Menu>Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Tablet tweaks

[Q] Spike's Pure ICS Rom Queries

Hi,
There is a package in Spike's thread for v5.0 for the battery percentage. My question is, can that be installed on v6.1?

v6 is a different base. So maybe wait for him to come out with one for v6 first. Should be any day now.

Thanks for the answer...
btw i have a little more questions...
after using v6.1... i realise that i am no longer able to take screenshots on my sgs2. the home + power button does not seem to work. is there a different way on this rom to take screenshots? or need another app?
also is there a way to remove homescreens? by default it has 5 screens, can i disable one or more of it?
last question, how do i configure to set the USB connect on default as usb storage instead of media server?
UPDATE: seems like the battery percentage for 6.1 is released: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22790151&postcount=492

I really missed the days i can take a screenshot just with home + power buttons .Now i'm using a app to take screedshots(do a search in the market then you'll find many). Hope the CM9 team intergrate Screenshots in their work.
Are you using Trebuchet launcher ? If so you'll find the homescreed settings in Trebucher settings(press menu key in homescreen and select Trebucher settings) .
The media server is annoying to me too but now i'm trying to get used to it.Maybe you can try this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375

thanks to your reply i now know about trebuchet. now that helps me to reduce those unused homescreens. but some of the options does not work such as Dock and Icons. Ill have to start googling about this anyways...
but yeah i hope spike will add the screenshot. i dont want an app for that. better to intergrate it with the rom i think.
SPIKE, if you see this, i sincerely thank you for this awesome ROM. you have done great. I am loving every bit of it. thank you!
Guys,
I was reading the development thread, and now there is a 6.1 version. Somebody said that he updated from ROM 2.3.6 to Pure ICS 6.0...
I would like to be sure if this can really be done without having to install stock ROM first or something like that. I have stock ROM 2.3.5 with root, and I would like to know whether I can go straight to flashing Pure ICS 6.1 with Odin or not.
I am asking cause I have seen many different comments on approaches people have followed, and I want to know whether I can do this first or not.
Thanks!
The trebuchet is far from complete and still under development(pretty stable for a alpha release ,though). You can have a try at Nova launcher and see if it fits you.

I suggest you flash a sammy leak ICS ROM first , it won't take you so much time.

There should not be any issues. I flashed straight to 6.1 from a stock official release of 2.3.6. worked fine for me. did not have issues. just make sure to follow the steps provided carefully.

I just flashed Pure Special Edition straight from one of the KI or KJs, everything works ok (Great rom btw) but I noticed the colors are slightly off. Almost like overexposure?
The color looks slightly faded and runny in and is quite obvious in videos and games. Wonder what's the issue here? should I reflash?
Cheers
Check Display - Screen Mode to see what it is set as. It is in Settings. You can make or more punchy there.

Screen Mode was set to Standard, and setting it to anything else make it look worse... However, the screen did look slightly better once I turned off auto brightness and adjusted it manually. Totally forgot that ICS had a problem with this!
However, I noticed that stuff like font edges isn't as sharp as when I was running stock. I guess I'll flash stock ICS tonight to check what the problem is...
pure ics 5.0 vs 7.1 battery life.
Hello. Why is my battery life 100% better with Pure ICS v. 5.0 than 7.1? is there a way to make 7.1 as great (im my opinion) in terms of battery life as 5.0? of course 7.1 is fully functional and I would like to keep it.
Thanks.
Transparent lockscreen
Hi all,
Does anyone know if spike is planning to get rid of the samsung lockscreen?
It would be so much nicer to have the stock transparent lockscreen as on the galaxy nexus.
Hopefully it will come round with 7.3.
For those who want to install AOSP Calendar in Spike 7.2, maybe can try flash AOSP Package for Pure ICS v7.0
ICS call screen
I wanted to know if there are plans to incorporate the in call screen from ICS into this ROM? I switched from CM9 to Pure ICS and so far it's the only thing about CM9 that I prefer.
You can ignore my above post, apparently this is a future theme change. Looking forward to when it actually gets implemented.

Ultimate Rom

For me, the ultimate rom would be the reliability and battery of stock, the USB tether option from stock too but with the CM7 theme engine.
What would your Ultimate Rom be?
A very good balance between battery, performance, looks and customization. I would obviously love stock battery. Performance can be better than stock for sure. I like the way stock roms look, cm7 adw is not so smooth really, cm9 looks cool. And as for customization....some roms have "Power button ends call" enabled by default and it cannot be disabled, I do not like that....small customizations matter a lot.
Waiting for Maclaws AOKP, it will probably have all of the above.

I wasn't talking about CM7 adw. I'm talking about all those different themes you can install for any CM7 rom in general. Not just the launcher.
As for performance, 0 scripts for me. Ram Manager has me covered no matter what rom I'm using . Oh and I NEED apps2SD too.
Ultimate rom Hmmm... Good battery of course
Great customization
Agree zero scripts ram manager is the best
Visual is fine because in the end it's the theme and launcher we use
Barebones I like my own different apps for different purposes
Basically a 10 hour battery with optimal usage no compromises
hmm
cm9 with touchwiz from sgsIII + folders on app drawer
and that it has highly customisable ui
Mine would be one to dominate the world with a single swipe.
A miracle for this phone would be to be able to run Sonic the Hedgehog 4 without lag + be able to last for at least a day with 3G
My ultimate rom are when u enjoy the rom and love the developers who made that
IM NOT SPAMING . IM ASKING THIS IS A FORUM SITE **** U

well for me, as already mentioned, stability and battery from stock,.performance from cm with no scripts, error free kernel and wide range of themes to choose from
my dream rom at the moment would be a stock DDKQ8 rom, with all useless applications removed and some minor tweaks. i tried looking for a barebone ddkq8 rom but could find one :/

Highly recommend Stocklite V6. Only problem I had was because my SD was corrupted and had problems reading apps from SD so I had to do a full phone wipe and format SD.
You could say this rom is almost my ultimate rom. But its missing the CM7 theme engine :'(
Also, I got 12hrs on 3G the other day 122-806 Smartass V2. Moderate use too.

Stocklitev6 is a great ddkq8 rom no doubt. It's best when it comes to stock. For me battery sucks while using EDGE. 5-6 hours hardly while using internet.

How is that even possible? 3G consumes like 3x as much battery as edge. Unless you're using your phone during the full 5-6 hrs non stop, then yeah. That's explainable.
might give the stocklite6 a go so!

I am using it for a long time since its out

just on stocklite, is it possible to use s2e to move the dalvik cache to the sd card? or can any other app do the same thing?

Yeah dude, it has A2SD. Just download A2SD GUI from the market and you're all set. I promise you won't regret it. Also, delete all other scripts besides A2SD in the ini folder. The dev made a mistake putting those in and he now recommends to remove them which will also result in your booting time decreasing drastically to almost instant.
Install Ram Manager instead and set it to Balance (More Multitasking) and you won't get any lag at all. Well, I don't. That's if you're running on 122-806 Smartass V2 as well just like I am. Then you'll be all set
If you follow what I've said, you won't look for another rom for a LONG time.
What so there isn't enough of a selection of roms or something?

Recommendation for a good ROM

For a long time I was using the Litening ROM v2.2 which was fine apart from the occasional reboots. Anyway, I recently upgraded to the latest stable version which is v3.6 and have immediately noticed that all the video playback is glitchy. There's also no way to customise the settings toggle button in the notification bar.
Can anyone recommend a Samsung based ROM on ICS that is stable, has no problems with video codecs/playback and allows customisation of the toggle buttons?
TIA
Tweaky Rom, i never tried it but it looks pretty promising. It's Samsung based.
Oh and wrong section, these types of threads aren't allowed. You're supposed to try out roms for yourself.This thread will be closed soon. Cheers.

Yeh, wrong place to post but your new so I am sure they will forgive ya. The thing is, it is not neccesarily the rom you choose, it is how you install it and how comfortable you feel using it. Try RR, that is Ressurection Remix, I have tried nearly 23 different roms and still keep coming back to this. Remember, read, study, install, configure to your liking. Eventually through trial and error you will learn what makes a rom 'good' and what makes a rom 'bad', the enjoyment is in the tasting of different flavours. Enjoy.
This isn't development related and nobody can answer this question for you.
The only way is to flash and try the ROMs for yourself.

Notification pull down button on the navbar?

Hey,
I'm new to XDA as user but have been lurking around for a while now.
Anyhow, I'm wondering if there is any way to get a notification pull down button on my navbar (on screen buttons). I'm not talking about a gesture shortcut or anything, just a 4th button.
I've tried the newest resurrect remix ROM which just received an update which included a notification button only the ROM isn't a daily driver. There are just to many bugs.
I'm open for suggestions and hope it's done with a simple xposed module but I've searched long enough to doubt it.
There are screens as attachments from the resurrect ROM to give a preview.
Try cm12.1

I could be wrong though, just asking for a confirmation

I was changing so many roms now days, so i checked up cm12.1 11s again and saw that there was no notification button .
I been using different roms and i might have incountered this feature in some other rom other that RR.
Alright, too bad though.
Hopefully anyone else has a good rom / module / app / whatever for me to get this feature.
Anyone?
Not what you want but try nova launcher as it has a couple of options that you can play around with for quick notifications
