GG ytd. luckily i had backed up my EFS using hellcat tools as per suggested by uncle benny. the signal jz gone totally and shows "insert simcard" even though i had rebooted for more than 3 times. then try restore efs using hellcat, still no luck. freaks me out totally, i'm at mlk dat time doh.gif
then tried to restore the efs once again, and reboot. then oni everything backs to usual. strong recommendation to everyone out there who always flash roms: backup ur efs before its too late smile.gif

Wah another case. What were you doing when the EFS got corrupted?

Its not for adw but in general for android from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269

If you already using latest cooked roms maybe already implemented. Check your build.prop especially on the "Force launcher into memory" and "Render UI with GPU". The 3g and network tweaks really make a difference also. Internet with wifi and 3g was very fast after I added those tweaks.

Edit: Also using siyah kernel 1.3 with his tweaked on demand governor also add to the smoothness. Using other governor there is still a very small lag.

Have you tried tweaking your internal / external sd cache? There are programs to do it and some roms already got script to do it also.

lol coincidently after i posted that, i remembered noobi3's post about build.prop tweaks so i went and edit it ad, then see your reply, click the link, went back same page on xda  laugh.gif  3g really improved? i'll check it out, i also increased my dalvik vm size from 64mb to 128mb, dunno it helps or not, hopefully it does. Smoothness wise, after adding all tweaks that i see related to smoothness, it really works, even my go launcher ex is quite smooth now thumbup.gif

gonna try some of the init.d tweaks except for ram/memory managements later see it improves or not icon_idea.gif

Good to know. At least now it can be confirmed the tweaks work and not just my imagination. rclxms.gif

Siyah kernel is so far the smoothest kernel for my Touch X-power rom. Smoother than a baby's bottom. I am not surprise as the kernel developer uses this rom also. icon_idea.gif

This is not symbian. Even without sim card you can on and use the device and play games. Just no phone/sms/data etc. thats all.

actually im not so sure already about the bold statement after this afternoon.

this afternoon ,my phone was operating normally, Edge and just dabbling with the phone n smsing,watsapp, no others as i was waiting. but the heat was unbearable at teh upper right side of the camera...which i think if the temp goes up few more celcius, i think it can be described as scalding already ...i check the temp and it was merely 41c ! i then doubt the reading if it was accurate or not...i open the cover and i didnt lie to say i abit concerned if it'll explode, i switched off the phone =.=  sometime i wonder how the camera sensor not be damage by such intense heat placing so close to the procs.

normally when i game with wifi, it's not even hot, barely hot. i think around 40c only....

my point is that i feel the very hot situation is very erratic and unpredictable n usually very warm is during my light applications use.

secondly, i unsure if the temp gauge is accurate or not im using battery booster that works like juice saver n has battery lvl n temp together so i think better than n ive uninstalled the battery solo widget ever since.

thirdly, i think damages by overheating shud be warranted also right but i think so far, no such case reported just yet ya
*
The temperature is battery temperature not the cpu or whatever under the camera. It is not representable of your cpu temperature just an indication so do not rely solely on it. The temperature is accurate for the battery ONLY.

Data also generate alot more heat than wifi. Also if you use autobacklight, when outside screen brightness will be highest and you can then really feel the heat.

What are you doing while charging? Games? Internet? Idle? My phone idle charging not more than 37C. Playing games like fruit ninja not more than 45C.

Also are you using samsung charger or other charger with higher charging rate. The higher the charging rate the higher heat generated.

over the weekend, checked out what's new on Samsung Apps.

i got prompted for some updates... installed them... then downloaded a few stuffs...

next day, i noticed i get some korean notification... *sigh*
[attachmentid=2442087]

it does not break android... but it does go to show android is still a long way to go when it comes to being an OS that had got high 'quality standards'...

lots of little issues everywhere... like what i highlighted previously...
* 15% min battery level for the camera apps to work There are workaround for this but will need rooting
* wifi sharing service (+1 more wifi related service) running in background even though wifi sharing is not enabled Never use wifi sharing so no comment
* unstable wifi connection to the point i need to off and on wifi for it to work again Never had this issue
* deleting a saved DRAFT message is not easy... no one click option. you have to empty the message by deleting word by word This is true but i never see it as a problem. You can just hold on backspace on swype and it will delete very fast.
* contacts in message will show ALL contacts (if you have multiple accounts -- regardless of what is done) Don't understand. I just type my contact name and it shows up after 2 - 3 letters. Never even click contact before
* nerfed gmail apps -- can't attach files other than images files FROM GALLERY (and MUSIC, i think). it seems it is possible to attach doc, etc... but it depends on manufacturer. I don't use gmail app.
* BT pairing with another android device can be painful -- dun have 'always trust and accept files from this android device' option. I thought got always trust function. Will check when i go back.
* Samsung kies -- nothing more needs to be said. I don't use kies. No comment.
* Samsung dive -- very similar to kies. super half-baked service/ product. thank goodness is free, though another way to look at it... we did indirectly pay for it.
* gallery seems to be 'picky' about the photos it wants to list. i have some photos taken on the phone before i installed the microSD card. after putting in the card, i moved the photos from the camera to the card. gallery has decided NOT to show them. to access the files, i need to use File Manager. Use quickpic. The best in the android world.
* outside of SGS2, you have things like core apps that dun work properly -- the new Market is a good example. It could not really update apps properly. Instead of 1 click to view your apps, the new apps requires 2-3 clicks. Agree. New market sucks. I am still using the old one until they improve it.

its really minor things... and most ppl probably won't even notice it. but still... smile.gif

The one in message is the tone you hear when you receive SMS. The one in settings is the general one for everything else eg. batt full. If you do not set the one in message it will use the general one in settings for SMS receive.

I don't think its possible without rooting. Unless you use other camera app on the market that allow you to shut of the shutter sound.

Yeah but wouldn't you need to on and off your system sound every time you want to use camera? Or it got special setting auto off system sound when you start camera? brows.gif

but yea, u of cos need to turn the sound off if u want silent shutter...unless someone wants to write a script to turn the system sound off when u start the default camera app...else use some other camera app tongue.gif

Yup as i suspected. I think mollai was looking for a way to turn off shutter sound without rooting and not the whole system sound. So i think the only way is to use other camera app on the market. BTW I use volume ace to control my volumes.

Touchwiz is smoother because it uses the hardware as well. To get smoother UI you can put tweaks into your build.prop but of cos need root la. The link have been posted here a few times. Now my ADW is as smooth as TW.

Actually the only reason to root or flash custom rom is to tweak and get more potential out of your device. If your happy with the current state then there is no reason to root. Don't give in to the dark side. drool.gif

cool stuff. thanks for sharing

btw, since we can only monitor battery temperature, are there any formula to coorelate if the battery temperature is so and so value, the CPU temperature will be so and so higher?
*
I don't think so. There are so many sources of heat in your device not just battery but also screen (expecially on high brightness), your phone chip especially when using data, gps chip can generate lots of heat also when in use, and also gpu. So sometimes you feel your phone is hot but it may not be the cpu at all.

So conclusion, just use your phone and stop worrying about heat because there have not been cases that sgs2 have been fried due to overheating except by an adinda battery that I believe was faulty.

Siyah uses touch x-power. Better you use this rom also rather than x-treme cos it has newer tweaks and have better support from the cook. But x-power need some fixes to permission error that should be due out in a while.

Its smooth rite. Guess what, the tweaks are not optimize because of permission error in init.d script. So its gonna get even smoother when the permission fix is out.

The fix will be a separate .zip file not in the main rom file. The M means market app, Yellow smiley is your apps that have been backup, red smiley is system app that have been backup. SMS is one of the green ones under messaging i think.
