FWIW resetting the battery stats, pulling the battery for a couple of minutes, then giving it a full charge from AC has fixed the fuel_alerted wakelock issue. I'm now getting something causing a GPS wakelock, but that's almost certainly some application I've installed rather than an issue with the firmware as there was no sign of it previously, after killing all running apps it's now sleeping correctly, so I'll experiment and see what's causing it.

Edit: GPS doesn't work, there's a flashable fix over at http://forum.xda-dev...&postcount=1320

It's just a single replacement library file and it seems to fix it nicely.

Thanks Gary.

Thanks for the update about the GPS. I do not use GPS but will look at the fix.

Once the GPS is fixed, battery drain is back to the usual ~3%/hour that I was getting from the pre-ICS versions, so looks like drain is pretty stable in LP6 too. It lags a little bit now and then but generally seems to be very stable. I've still switched to Go Launcher as I like the app-drawer folders.

OK Modaco fans....

I updated XXLP6 with the 15-button quickpanel (thanks to [email protected]) and also fixed the CRT effect as it was causing the settings to be in tabular format making it difficult to read.

Am uploading now so please be patient. Will insert download links when uploading finishes.

Enjoy!

NOTE: ICS so far has been a real pain-in-the-ass to modify with some tools working and some not working. Hopefully brut.all (apktool) and others will get them properly working soon.

For XXLPB QuickPanel - if you want a SystemUI.apk with only 5 quickpanel buttons instead of 6, let know.

The original from [email protected] has 6 buttons. I have changed my phone to have 5.

Will post a CWM version with only 5 buttons if people want it.

I have the same problem with some apps. It is a bug in the software.

I read somewhere about this on xda-developers.com in the Galaxy S II General forum.

Look for the post with that says XXLPB with videos,etc. Try this link:

XXLPB

Then do a search for sdcard. I think they said to unmount it, try to install apps, then remount it.

Don't remember as I re-installed most apps with Titanium Backup Pro.

Yes unmount Workshop fine :-)

Any Chance to gut Screenshot Feature live in the original GB Rom from SGS2?

If you mean taking a screenshot with the Menu+Power keys - it works in XXLPB - just tried it.

Otherwise not sure sure which Screenshot feature you mean.

Just want to say thanks for this ROM, just put it on, and once I got rid of the still horrendous TouchWiz crap (I used Nova Launcher) its been really good.

Bit of an issue with Wifi causing battery drain, but I'm not sure that's not just my settings at the moment.

Still not sure if Samsungs changes to dialer/contacts/sms and calendar are good or bad compared to stock though.

Since it is still in Beta I would guess there are still issues with Market, Phone calls, Battery drain, etc.

Have been using XXLPB since I released it and I like it a lot even with its minor annoyances.

Check out xda-developers.com (XDA Themes & Apps) - maybe you can find replacement apps.

Hi Gary,

I'm checking out the XXLPB Rom.

Most things seems quite nice, but I have some weird stuff going on:



mikkle@MT-T420s:~$ adb shell

# cd /system/app

# ls

ls: can't open '.': Value too large for defined data type

# 

A similar problem shows when installing some apps (apps, that wants to install to sdcard):

Any ideas?

Another weird thing is that MyBackup Root insists that it does not get root access (SuperUser.apk does grant it, but it seems MyBackup doesn't realize it.) Dunno if that's ROM-related or MyBackup-related, so don't worry about it.

:-) Mikkel

BTW, I also had to restore APNs to get mobile data, thanks for the tip on HiAPN! :)

One thing I've got, and wondering if its just me, is the Software Update notification (I think Samsung's)

It fails to work when I accept and just wont go away...

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/app/fotaclient.apk

mount -o remount,ro /system

exit

exit

- That should remove the update note

Workaround unable to install on SD card error (Credits to dan96815)

1) Goto Settings --> Storage --> Scroll down and select Unmount SD card.

2) Accept the Application might be open dialog box and proceed.

3) Now try to install any apps that might have given errors previously and they should install correctly.

4) Remount SD card when needed.

Cheers!

Did sort of the same by having Titanium Backup force restore to internal storage.

Would like to see a proper fix, though :)

It's a bug in XXLPB. A work-around is:

ls /sdcard/*.*

ls /sdcard/*.png

etc.....

If you want the special characters removed (ansi codes for color monitors), type: export LS_COLORS="" then press enter

LS_COLORS should be all CAPS.
