@everyone
ROM thread: link
ROM themes thread: link
I created this Q&A thread for this ROM to prevent tons of new threads about ROM specific questions from new users. Please feel free to post any questions here.
When posting a question, please make sure to mention:
ROM version
Kernel and version
Any theme, if applicable
Modem, if applicable
Also, please give some time for your question to be answered. Devs in particular are pretty busy churning out something or other for us. So be patient.
1. No question is too noobish, but please learn to do a search first, be it on this thread, or some other thread in this forum.
2. Before asking any questions regarding task killers and why they shouldn't be used, I would recommend reading this post: Android Memory Management

Glad to be of some help dilli. Thought this might help reduce Q&A style posts on the ROM thread.
I stopped even coming to 'dev' forums to look for ROMs since I know most ROMs now would be 2.2.1 based at the most, and well I feel I am on the best possible ROM already. Most of my time now is in the Q&A and General sections outside our three threads (ROM, themes, and this new Q&A now).
Sup my glitter ball bruthers,
Been using gballs sincemy first flash cuz it seemed to have the least problems and the best support and satisfaction....firstflashed 2/13. I am using suckerpunch #51 1ooomhz (so f'ing fast i need too slow down) also using dillis bluetheme and the latest add on
I was just wondering about modems. it seems there are newer modems than the one that is included with dilies6.0 .... jl2, i believe. Am i just confused or should i consider a different modem, if so why, or why not?
ive also noticed a new service since the newest addon other than the new keyboard service running all the time and periodically starting and restarting
It is called Sns service ... do i need this service?
If not how can i get rid of it?
Oh and,
Gballs Unite!!!!!!
Running di11i v6, unthemed, no mods/changes. (Been on it nearly 2 weeks....very nice.) Can't do adb remount - it returns Permission denied. Tried other threads suggestions to similar problem. TiBU works and shows busybox, SU shows TiBU as having root access. Reflashed di11i again along with TiBU but still having same issue.
Haven't ever had to post before - you guys do a great job; easy to follow along in other threads. I just can't seem to find an answer that works.
* Just noticed with adb shell> su the phone prompts for allowing SU permission for the shell. Even though I allowed it, I still can't remount (displays "operation not permitted" now). So it's definately not a problem with the ROM/add-ons - never really thought so but....if anyone has any ideas.
official 2.2 tomorrow.

Learning as much as I can from Mobile Tech Vids. Got the OC Di11i 6.0. How do I add the Blue theme. Downloaded your version 3 and 5 (want to put boot anni on the 5). I know the answer is starring me in the face, I'm just not seeing it. Thanx.
BTW- Been using Bay_Wolf's AIO Captivate toolbox. So...I've kinda been cheating and doing things the easy way....which means there's alot I'm not familiar with.
Also-If I change wallpapers, how do I get the Android wallpaper back without re-flashing the rom? (I'll prob keep comming up with a bunch of dumb questions, sorry. I hardly even know how to use this forum ex: what are stars and what's up with the thanks meter?)

Option 1 (simplest)
Apply 3, reboot, then apply 5. Simple and straight forward method if u do not want to mess around.
Option 2 (easy)
Apply 5.
Copy the zip attached to this post "as it is" into ur /system/media folder using an app like 'root explorer'.
Option 3 (depends on ur current skill level)
Open the v5 in winzip or winrar.
Create a folder called 'media' in the 'system' folder (the folder in which u see the 'framework' and 'app' folders).
Copy this zip 'as it is' into that.
Apply the updated v5.
Option 4 (simplest and easiest)
Check the links post (post 4). I will update with a link to v5 with boot animation included.
My mistake: I just downloaded the zip. It includes the boot animation Sorry about the confusion. Looks like I uploaded the zip with boot animation.
Biggest Noob you've ever seen!!!

Assuming u r on dilli's ROM, u would have clock work recovery console already loaded. Steps below based on that assumption:
1. Copy the theme zip to ur SD card root.
2. Boot into clockwork recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there).
3. Install the zip file using the option 'apply zip from SD card', then 'select zip from sd card' and then selecting the theme zip file (words framed may not be exact but convey the same anyways).
Only if u r NOT on dilli's ROM:
If u are on some other ROM, and not have CWM console, or u do not know what that is:
1. Rename the theme file to 'update.zip',
2. Copy this update.zip to ur SD card root
3. Go into recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there)
4. Select the option there that says something like 'apply: update.zip'

No worries. Everyone's been through that stage at some point of time.
This is the TW launcher that comes with the SGS2. After several logcats and swapping out some methods with our stock twlauncher it finally works!
Video of launcher here (not on the fascinate): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050666
What files are included: twframework.jar, framework.jar, Touchwiz30Launcher.apk, libglcanvas.so and some TW widgets. Also included Voice Translator
This should work on any ed01/ec01 based rom.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for bad things.
Known Issues [Updated 4/30]: Remember this is an early release and wasn't intended for 2.2.
-Menu button on homescreen seems to take alittle bit to become active on boot
-Long press for widgets takes a bit on boot
-On reboot I've had it take a long time time to bring the launcher up (stuck on bootup logo) but it eventually comes up (WORKAROUND: Don't set a homescreen, select homescreen on boot)
-Widgets don't always come back on reboot
-Long press widgets FC
Update[4/30]
-Fixed FC on manage applications
-Removed Share App via in app drawer, now has List View (I've gotten FC when using back button after launching app from this view)
-Merged Home Button fix in from i9000 guys

Won't flash
I'm assuming CWM 2.5.x handles edify so I flashed it. Rebooted and nothing happened. I'm coming from the community ROM v1.1. Do I need TWLauncher prior to flashing this?

Nope you don't need TWLauncher prior. CWM 2.5.x supports edify so it should work. If you can't get it going, lemme know.

Flashed using CWM 2.5X and there seems to be no effect on the launcher.
Nothings seems to have changed at all... Any ideas?
Update:Looked for the files in the zip in my system via root explorer and none of the files got flashed for some reason. Moving files manually to their locations via ADB. Will update once completed.
Update2:After moving files in recovery via ADB the phone stuck in a boot loop. So it is still not working.

I wonder if 2.5.x is having issue flashing the edify script. If thats the case I can throw together an ammend one but I'd prefer to not have to
Edit: OK I gave in a made one but it needs to be tested.
After flashing this on the community ROM, settings forcecloses when I go into manage applications. Anyone else have this issue?

I got it to work. I made a nandroid then flashed (which may be the reason why it didn't flash? I don't know.). I went back into recovery, flashed it one more time and it worked.
Updated to the newest TWM. then flashed with the edify script. Worked out for me this time. Pretty sweet so far. I know it is early in its stages and not meant for 2.2 but it FC's a lot. (Whenever hitting the home button.)
Also the setup I was using, I was on Deodexed ED01. When in the launcher program itself if i hit the home key it would crash. If i was in an app it would go to the launcher.
Thanks again for all your hard work. Hope to see more of this it looks like it rocks.
I flashed the 2.5.x ver and it just freezes up when I long press

Running ED01/Com rom 1.1/cwr3. First flash failed to load after boot up. flashed again and it loaded successfully. This is killer! Not a single fc so far! This really tops off the greatness of the new community rom. Its got a bit of lag loading widgets and the home screen previews are not showing icons properly. Other then those little things, this is awesome! Thanks for the great work!
Edit. Got brave and started to use drocap to get some screen shots. Got a consistent fc and had to pull the battery. Phone would not get past the android boot screen, although it seemed liked it really wanted to. Tried to reflash the zip with no success. Had to restore from a nandroid backup. Really hope to see this come together.

Sounds one of the bugs, it stays on the android screen and eventually the screen goes to sleep. The lockscreen is actually active in the background so if you push around it'll eventually unlock and come back .

Plug your phone into your PC and assuming you have the use of adb do
adb logcat > logcat.txt
from a terminal or cmd prompt, then ctrl + C after you have gotten the FC or want to stop the log dump.
This is nice, I like the old touch wiz better but I might keep this. I see in the video of that guy having it, the tracking indicator is balls and his applications icon is the same from the original touchwiz, in this one the indicators are squares and the application icon is different, why so? Guess you must have ported the edited version, If you could get the normal version and possibly with the new sgs2 icons, that would be beastttt
All you need is to put it in the correct folder depending on your rom. I recommend root explorer to put them in the right place. FYI these dont work as downanimations. You are welcome to mod them as you see fit but.

Since they are boot animations thats why I figured the videos would be better.Even if I post pics I would need to post many to get an idea of the full boot screen.
Ill see what I can do
Yeap,
Boot animations --> animated graphics --> hard to get the idea with some pics.
I just thought that this was the reason that strauts asked for the pics.
Currently downloading them all to check them out

So, after a LONG time without enough free time to do it, I am finally trying to change my boot animation, but it seems I am not able to get rw access to the /system/customize/resource folder using Astro or Terminal Emulator even if my phone is rooted... I guess I would have to remount the partition as rw, but i'd like to avoid that so I wounder if using adb as following would be the right thing to do, or am I missing something?
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot
Thanks!

I'm not good at adb so may not be of much help but my best recommendation would be to buy root explorer off the market.
Its worth the money and will let you navigate and copy paste and write to system without adb and I can't tell you how simple it has made my life when it comes to bootanimations

if you make sure your findings work, i am sure users can benefit from it. BUT! if you do not test properly or make changes during your test and do not report this with your link and people's mobile is semi-bricked and need to spend 30-60minutes or even more to fix, it is no good.
so do not stop, but make sure you really know it is good before you post.
its not only the kernel and custom bootloader making it impossible , its also what LG previously shown users, so they care less about new LG mobiles now, so you probably will not see many modders or devs in this section, and personally i am also 99% going for an alternate model, primarily because my issues seems unsolved by another custom system as oneX, as the lag seems to be in the kernel alone
I'm not responsible for any of this. This someone else thread and development.
I'm simply posting a link for those who would like to play around with this.
Most of these are apks that will show up in under settings/display/front touch buttons/color. For your choosing.
I have tried pretty much all the softkeysin this thread (that are not girly) and have had no issues what so ever. Proceed on your own. I'm not responsible.
All credit goes to those that made these apps and mods in the thread I'm linking you to.

I would love to do this, but not having a custom recovery makes me leary.
all these are just apk's that you download and use what ever file manager you prefer and click and install. you dont have to replace any apks or modify anything. so due to that its pretty safe if softkeys apk doesnt work then in settings select another softkey theme and use your file manager to delete the one that doesnt work

You can download and install them. Tried it by myself and i'm stock, not rooted and no custom recovery installed!
All you have to do, is download what you want, install as normal apk (don't forget in settings-security to active 'unknown sources').
After you installed them, in the settings-display-front touch buttons-color you find them.
If the 'original' appear on homescreen, just deactivate 'transparent background'.
Sorry about my English.

Thanks for that. Yeah I've been trying to explain this is safe. Not a mod just normal apk's. I probably should have mentioned in the OP that you don't need root. And hey I learn something new everyday I.e. disable transparent to get them to show the new soft keys on home screen. I didn't know that. Thanks.

No doubt, I had been trying to get them to stay using the g2 tweak box, and I couldn't do it. That is a simple solution.
