Hello S2 users,
I got my SGS2 just a few days ago. From start, I am experiencing a strange thing.
If I multitap the home button(2-3 times), Each and every colour on the screen inverts.
First, I thought it was some sort of bug in stock ROM, but today when I flashed Custom AOKP ROM, it happened there too.
I tried it on the bootanimation screen and even the bootanimation colours got inverted.
I am using Siyah Kernel.
Please tell if its normal or do I need to replace my device.
P/S: Sorry if this type of thread is already here. I could not find it.
Thanks in Advance.
I noticed that 2 on RR and some other roms but on CM10 nothing
Its nothing dangerous i can say.
It's Syhian kernel future
If you press 4 times home button and then be Negative mode
If you'd read the either of the Siyah threads/bothered to learn about Siyah before you started using it you'd know Siyah has inverted screen colours as a feature.
You can turn it off in ExTweaks (on the 'screen' tab).

It is normal. It is a feature (MDNie effect) of Siyah kernel which can be toggled on /off by pressing the home button 4 times.
It mod was made so as to invert white pages while browsing, in order to save more battery.
Thanks All,
I did read Siyah kernel's Features and all but seems I somehow missed a point or two.
Sorry for a new thread about nothing.

Greeting everyone.
I recently got an Android and I also recently decided to root and stick a custom ROM on it. Everything went fine and dandy with that and I'm currently on Cryanogen 9 Alpha ROM (it's spectacular to say the least).
On the default ROM you could choose to turn off the key lights (I'm talking about the touch keys on both sides of "the master button"). However, neither does Cryanogen 7 or 9 offer me this option and because I'm so used to it, lights seem weird and unnecessary.
So, after searching the interwebz for a while, I couldn't find anything useful and hence my post.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Furthermore, fantastic video!
Bump! (Too few characters apparently).

This requires .bln (BackLightNotifiation) mod which isn't featured in my current ROM (Cyanogen 9).
Thanks for the input anyhow.
I would like to know this too. The keys are allways on in CM9 unfortunately

It turns out that you can turn them off in CM7 but unfortunately I'm yet to find a fix for CM9.
you can try to modify the following script in the middle of this post to make it work in cm9

Thanks a bunch for the link.
I'll definitely give it a try when I have a bit of spare time.
EDIT: This script also requires BLN (which I talked about above) and after searching long and hard, I have found out that there is no ICS kernel with BLN support (while some others knew this, I certainly didn't).
After looking around further it seems that I/we won't get the feature for a while since BLN seems to be the only way apart from integration within the ROM (like it is within TouchWiz or CM7) that you can turn off your soft keys.
Latest build of CM9 has removed backlight!
'Tis a glorious day.

Wow, I've been looking for a way to disable the keys and while the script won't work for me messing with the settings did the job, that was my only issue so far. Cheers for the share. I'm using MIUI with siyah if anyone cares in order to make it work.
PS: games and movies look much better with no white lights :O
EDIT: Well, guess I was beat by the software had a notification during the night, and now the lights only stay off until the first time the screen gets turned off, after that they go back to their normal behaviour unless I reboot :|. On the look again for another way.
EDIT 2: Ok, I'm not giving up, for now I found yet another way for anyone interested (you need a BLN kernel however).
I installed BLN Control Pro, disabled everything and put BLN blinking: On and Led OFF time 3 minutes.
Now what I do is enter Test mode, turn the screen off and on, and now, the lights will be off for as long as I keep the program running. The only problem with this, is that BLN stops the phone from going into Deep Sleep, so I just need to remember to turn the test mode off and to disable BLN whenever I don't need the buttons off.
It's not a pretty solution but for now it's the best I could come up.
no setting for that
Hi all,
Im a new user here to please bear with me if I accidentally broke some rules.
To start off, Im a new ROM Flasher and my S2 is currently using the wanamlite v.12 blue ics with speedmod k3-20.
My simple problem is, I noticed that there is no infinite scroll in my wanamlite Home Screen. I am unable to scroll from screen 1 to screen 7 or vice versa. I need to swipe all the screen first before getting to the last screen which is kinda annoying.
I tried searching in the forum and got to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436817&page=619
Unfortunately, I cant still post since this account is newly created.
PS: I dont really like using alternative homescreen like nova or apex.. I would like to keep my wanamlite stock screen.
Can you help a lil newbie here? Also what modem is good for signal + battery saving?
When on the home screen, press the menu button (opposite the back button) and see if there are any options for Launcher Settings. If there is, go to it and see if there are any options for the Home screen. Infinite scrolling should be there.

LP9 modem is good, as is BULP6, KI3, and KI4. Personally, I use the LP9 modem.

My Galaxy S2 screen starts to look like photo negative occasionally. It would be mostly black. This gets resolved after a reboot. Has anyone faced this issue before?
I am on VK ROM 5.1.2 with siyah 3.3.2.
With the Siyah kernel pressing the home button 4 times inverts the screen colours.

Thanks. I just couldn't imagine it could be a feature...

Thank you.
Initially, I thought there was some hardware issue with my screen and thought of taking it the service center after reverting back to stock ICS ROM.
If you use recent builds of Siyah, you can turn this feature off in ExTweaks.
I love you all. I fell like a f***n' noob.
Thanks
Thank you. Felt the same! (like a n**b)! Saved me a reboot the second time!
As far as I remember this is for night reading.

Post in the correct forum for your device I.E N8000 Q&A :-/
even i am facing the same problem...the screen looks so dull when compared to earlier stages...is it with the LED display ??
Hi there,
Unfortunately I couldn't find a similar post so here is my issue and question:
I'm not new to flashing, but i switched from my beloved S1 to the S2!
After trying different ROMs I decided to go with SlimBean. As the BLN is not supported I tried switching to the Dorimanx 7.47 Kernel.
Now here the problems start. First of all everything worked, it was nice and smooth but from time to time the display flashed red and came back to normal. After upgrading to Dorimanx 7.49 the problem was gone but my display-brightness and -colors were not the same. The brightness was unusually high and the colors seemed to be faded. (It quite looked like the gamma value were changed and since then I'm running my phone with a screenfilter-app)
So I reset all kernel settings before flashing the new kernel (including a fullwipe) and went back to the original Speedmod kernel +(SlimBean ROM) but the unusually high brightness and faded colors stayed the same!
My question now is: could that be a display hardware failure from changing the kernel or did I miss resetting some very basic core settings?? Has anyone experienced brightness/color problems like this?
thanks for any advice!
Flash a stock ROM and see if it persists.
Sent from the little guy
For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
Try turning off CRT animations and disable hw overlays.

disabling hardware overlays always fixes it for me
same issue
Have the same issue going on had freezing and resolved that now I'm stuck on these lines multiple diff ROMs I am running cm10 I see people saying he overlays can someone provide a little more info on what that is and where to find it? Attaching screen shots of these multi color lines we speak of

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

Do you have any backlight handling apps? I used lux all the time and it stopped after I disabled it.

Just enabled "Disabled HW overlay" and "Force GPU rendering". Like some of the users suggested, I found about the possible solution from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhPPke_Nbw
(go to 1:40)
I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
Please elaborate

By chance can you give some more details about this Trickster Mod like where to find it and what it is supposed to do?
A link to a thread would be great

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.
