Yes, good idea, i'll definitely work on that!

re: USB host support, it should work... I don't have a dongle to test however! I'll add in the stock kernel / CF-Root so you can test...

USB hosting does work on GR7....how ever for me atleast it doesn't say 'USB host connected'
which may confuse some people, they may think their cables are faulty, They are NOT (Hopefully0
If i connect a usb device to my host cable it doesn't say 'USB device connected' either
Just thought i'd make you aware Paul.

I see that com.sec.android.providers.logsprovider is shown as uninstalled in Titanium backup, even though logsprovider.apk is in my system.apk folder.

Is there any way I can manually point the system to logsprovider.apk? reflashing the rom does not fix this. I have redownloaded twice.

everytime I try a full wipe to install, I get FCs on Settings.apk when I try to get into about phone, so wiping doesn't work.

EDIT: Fixed it. Had to restore from Gr5, backup logsprovider and restore in Gr7. For some reason flashing Gr7 seems to throw logsprovider's link in the system off.

Was wondering if there was any way to diagnose what's happening here. Any ideas paul?

any chance you could take a look at the log i posted on page 2?

Just read it... I don't see a crash in that log?

I would love the lock button to work as the camera button when in the camera app. having to touch the screen to take a photo is sometimes awkward!

anything you can do?

and also, is there any way you can add a 'reboot' and a 'boot into clockwork' buttons in the power menu please?

many thanks Paul, good work on this Rom!

Hi Paul,

Would it be possible to add the option in the kitchen to replace the sgs lockscreen with the google standard lockscreen?

I owned a o2x and always used that option from your kitchens.

Many thanks

+1 for this, the sgs lockscreen is very clunky feeling. I have installed widgetlocker pro twice now and disabled it both times as the sgs lockscreen still keeps on popping up at random which spoils the widgetlocker experience.

gah.. that's odd.. i saved the log as soon as it crashed...

the thing is i've fixed it, and found the problem. LogsProvider's link withint the system seems to be broken upon flashing Gr7. So even though the apk is in system/apps, android doesn't see it. I have to manually back up in titanium and restore after flashing.

by the way, an interesting read for battery life management

that link is interesting. but I don't understand how you implement it into the Rom. or is it an app? confused. but if it could be implemented to a rom would be amazing!

Strange, i'll keep an eye on that.

That kernel tweak looks great, i'll read more into it!

So whats causing the battery loss (about 60% over 3.5 hours) is that the phone is set to idle instead of a deep-idle/stop mode when the wifi is turned on? This would explain the big change in battery consumption, I cant imagine that its just down to having the wifi radio turned on.

actually i believe it's more than just wifi. it's the CPU drawing more power than it needs.

Going to flash the next update, the wifi battery drain meant that I couldnt update apps overnight or listen to iPlayer Podcasts because I'd fall asleep with the Wifi still on! Was going to make a tasker profile to cover these but it was too much of a mission.Looking forward to some exciting new features with a 1-0 win hopefully Paul will be in a good and productive mood

[Junior Bear]

if you have a problem with leaving wifi on etc. get juice defender. you can set it up to turn certain things off at certain times of the day. or set it to turn wifi off when screen is off etc

[m1le5]

I use juice defender, but I have wifi on when I go to sleep to dl new apps and listen to BBC iPlayer. My phone basically does not charge when wifi is on (energy added by charger = energy drained by system+wifi) so I swapped roms. Otherwise it was really great.

Hi Paul, I take it this build is done/abandoned?

Still FC in Polaris office for me

Are you working on a next ROM for SGS2?

[Junior Bear]

what makes you think its abandoned?


to be fair it is far too quiet in this forum

[stumbo]

Well Paul said daily updates, then said he'd pause doing the LG ROM, been a week since that...

[Junior Bear]

Just flashed this rom.  I have only one issue, but it's pretty major for myself

The Samsung keyboard phone keypad form of typing text does not work.  It only does numbers.

Very frustrating

[prusling]

Paul, please can you include Swype 3.26 in GR7. We have instructions for updating this manually but it's difficult to get an apk for this new version when it's built in. Thanks.
