Yes it is supported in the stock browser

It is not supported in Chrome beta
[Galaxy S II General] awjunk:
Thanks for the quick reply.

You're a happy with LPQ? Any indications on battery life yet?
[Galaxy S II General] stormtroopercs:
So far for me battery life is very poor but i just installed it yesterday so it might get better
[Galaxy S II General] A_Silva:
Battery life, for me, seems consistent with the previous ICS leaks, which was getting better with each release.

Actually, compared with the leaks, this was a bit of a step down, they did polish stuff (fixed the Chrome beta stuttering, performance is very very smooth), but they left some stuff that's perplexing, such as:

- Home screen unlocking mechanism that makes it a pain to see notifications when the phone is locked

- Gallery app is the SAME from 2.3.3 (only difference is that it loads quicker)

- No ICS wallpapers or live wallpapers

- Font usage is inconsistent (try this for fun: look at the font on the clock when the screen is locked without any security, then add a pattern security and look at the font now)

- 3D-like homescreen switching that many people liked in previous ICS betas is gone

- Some ICS APIs are probably still missing since 2 of Vellamo's tests fail so you can't get a consistent score

I want to love it, and I hope that this is only the first ICS release of many (look at Gingerbread when the SGS2 was released and look at the last pre-ICS release) but I think it's a bit underwhelming (for an ICS release). However I'd still pick it over Gingerbread any day
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
And if you use the font style app then the font is not applied across the entire phone either. You might get the font you want for widgets etc, but then when you try to read messages its still the standard font that is shown
[Galaxy S II General] SirRomie:
I can't seem to change my wallpaper with KPQ. The gallery crashes every time. I can use a live wallpaper, but not a static one. I have tried wiping data/cache and nothing. Still the issue persists. I am in the midst of reflashing, but the new firmware seems like it has issues to work out.

Anyone else have this issue?

Poor performance and battery life

Hello,

First of all thanks for all the useful information and links in this thread.

Now, concerning my issue: yesterday I upgraded via Odin to UHLPE. I used to have XWKI4/XXKI1/XEUKH2 just like it originally came, factory unlocked and not rooted.

I chose the UHLPE over the XXLPQ because I am in Colombia and thought it would work better.

However, during the first day the phone was laggy and the battery lasted less than 8 hours (vs. the usual 20+ before upgrading).

I didn't install the kernel and didn't root it.

I just upgraded it, without wiping apps or data. Is this the cause for the poor performance?

Can I go back to 2.3.6 the same way I installed ICS with Odin?

Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] paumlhp:
CF-Root's fault, dude. Flash the stock kernel again and you'll be able to restore the apps.
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
Do you guys also have both SuperSU and SuperUser after rooting? Whats up with that?
[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:
Hi Intra,

Link for India ODDKL1 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/01AAXN938F

And which ROM should i go for? Official XWKLI (as it is for India) or the latest 2.3.6 Frankenstein ROM. I need a non-wipe version.

Please advice.

Thanks.

Old bootloader

@ Intratech

My apologies if this has been asked before. Will the old bootloader also work with LPQ?
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
yes there is flash support
[Galaxy S II General] danieldmm:
Using XXLPQ from OP XEU CSC Since last night, no Issues at all...

After flashing the first thing I do was flash CF ROOT and guess watt, the USB Works, so I think the firm in the OP posted by @Intratech have the old bootloader.

Just a present I have no issues at all.

yeah, my server got hit hard yesterday with 1100 users on at the same time. one of the LPQ files got 75000 hits yesterday

i have set a limit to 100 users at a time, so the lucky ones can actually download it. 48 GB uploaded yesterday.
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
Guys pls help me out here....
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
It's from CF-Root kernel and Chainfire has described it in his thread:
[Galaxy S II General] A_Silva:
Hey, I flashed LPQ and at the same time one of the AU CSCs, and no issues here.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Just to add some points:

camera is working as in GB

(FM) radio works well

GPS works fine

all my apps are working, I only had to clear app data for two of them to solve FCs

XXLPQ runs smooth on my phone even after non-wipe (data and cache) install

I still have to examine battery life - my first impression is that it is OK, but little bit worse than the latest GB ROMs

Google Talk is now with video chat (and multi account) feature

some optical adaptions in stock apps (email, talk, etc.) to ICS

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

It is still (like in GB) HOME + POWER, but you have to hold the keys for 1-2 seconds.

The screenshot will be saved in "Pictures/Screenshots" (in GB it was "Screencaptures").
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
Volume down + power button also works
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
Thanks, but I have both on my phone. How do I get rid of the old SuperUser icon/installation?

And another thing, playing around last night, I realised my market links are gone. I tried linking it back with TB, but no joy. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
I have flashed stock LPQ with new bootloaders, but i have a nandroid backup of ILA4 with old bootloaders. If i restore the backup i will get the older bootloaders or i have to flash with odin ILA4???

Please help me
[Galaxy S II General] :
Anyone else noticed on LPQ that:

- Mediascanner runs quite a long time after boot (cannot open galery while it's running)

- MP3 files are messed up in MP3-Player - in the sense of Album Art of pictures are not assigened correctly to all the songs.

Else i just noticed not a lot differences...it's a pitty that Samsung did not change anything on TW to make it look more modern or ICS like....
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
I would restore ILA4 and download LPQ from this thread and reflash LPQ if I were you.
[Galaxy S II General] bdastoor:
Why not just flash the Old Bootloader from the OP?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Greg:
If I`m not wrong, you will have new bootloaders after restoring
[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
I have heard about it, but I have not done that before ... I can only speak from my experience and I have always flashed the FW with old bootloaders. If I get stuck with a new one, I will surely try that! :p
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I am not quite sure, but I think that Chainfire has already described it somewhere.

As I did not remember where I have read about it, I just kept superuser as well on my system.

It does not interfere with SuperSU.

Please read Chainfires thread about it here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053&highlight=supersu

The market thing ... I heard about it.

Have you already cleared the Market app data?

And have you already tried to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery?

If that does not help, try to remove your google account and create it again.

Good luck !

Looking at the Letter Code from first post. Did they merge XW into XX for ICS firmwares?

XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom

XW---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom

[Galaxy S II General] OGroteKoning:
I tried that all ... even fised permissions, but no joy.

I even restored an old version of XWKJ3. The links exist under XWKJ3, but the moment I flashed XWLA4, I lost it. Fortunately it was not long for LPQ to come out since I flashed XWLA4, so I stuck to it.

To install LPQ, I reverted back to XWKJ3 before flashing LPQ in the hope that my market links will remain ... no luck unfortunately. At one point I thought TB was the cause, but then I found with the latest TB on XWKJ3, there were no issues.
[Galaxy S II General] danieldmm:
Not big differences, but the bugs you talk I don't have, even in the first boot the installation was fast.

Media scanning it's even more fast that GB, maybe placebo :)

One thing although happen, one album was disassembled, showing single song of this album as a separate album never the less the picture are all good. Wird

[Galaxy S II General] tiggerrdrr:
i bleieve this was caused by samsung doing checks on the kernel. flashing the stock one Intra has given on the first page fixes this. only problem you lose some features on CF-root doing so. but root itself remains.

to remove the original SuperUser apk, use a root browser and go to /system/app and delete superuser app from there/move to external sd for future use.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
Hm, I have similar question :) Is there XW on horizon...waiting for Slovenian Swype and kbd support :D

Intra, since there will be more versions avaliable next week, do you suggest to wait? (I have mixed feelings about new shiny ICS - some of the comments were not so great ;) )

File crc comparisons

On the latest ICS Poland PDA:XXLPQ

Why do the file hash comparisons of the d/l here on Intratechs site do NOT match with Samsfirware? Is it because the bootloader is different?

If thats the case can I flash over top of the Samsfirmware version to get back the old bootloader? Please advise

[Galaxy S II General] cmorelm:
GPS updating location every 5 min

the battery life issue could be to the fact that the GPS is updating location every 5 min i don't know why. I've never seen thins on GB but on LPE is updating all the time, and when I'm indoors it tries for about 60 sec before giving up.

I've just turn it of this morning to see how battery life goes today.
[Galaxy S II General] Hiisi:
I have Slovenian in Swype on LPQ :) Not sure what kbd is tho? :)
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
Here the LPQ is not on Frankenstein Firmwares, so it have the new bootloaders, right?
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
GPS is always been a battery drain. That's why I only turn it on when I need it, as I rarely use it anyway. Its a shame that the process limiter keeps resetting when you reboot. Setting that also saves the battery a lot.

[Galaxy S II General] SirRomie:

i am on LPQ Poland at the moment but i am going to flash ILA2 oder ILA3.

ILA2 was the best GB ROM for me.

anyone has experiences with ILA3 ROM ?

thxx!
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Personally LA4. Was the best g.b rom. Also with Phenom 3.0 blue extreme kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] cmorelm:
Well it has to be said, Samsung really did a number with ICS, instead of updating touchwiz the used the same, so gallery is worst than vanilla, app drawer is worst, transitions are worst also, and the list goes on and on.

I am not opposed to skining, but firmly believe that the skin shoud improve on the base version and not take away from it. and this one takes away a lot.

They even managed to remove a functionality that was on GB dialer where you could open the dialer and jump to contacts from in there now you have to go back to home or press menu key and contacts to get there.

I was never a fan of custom ROMs, but today CM9 is looking better and better.

By all means Samsung should offer something better than stock or just stick to stock but never something worst.

This is just my humble opinion and I thought it should be out there.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
For me on my phone, XWLA4 was the best balanced GB ROM.

That's why I made a nandroid backup of my latest XWLA4 system before flashing ICS.

So, that is what I will restore, if I get issues or feel uncomfortable with ICS.

But for now, XXLPQ seems to be stable, smooth and with acceptable battery life so far.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Sorry about that.

Maybe you really have to delete all apps and restore them with TB again.

Are they saved on internal or external sd card?

I lost three apps on ICS (after flashing CF-Root kernel), which were saved on external sd card.

After flashing the stock kernel, I could access the apps again and moved them back to the internal sd card.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's been answered right at the bottom of the guide at the section for flashing with Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
Asking here also (sorry for the impatience, it takes time coming from HTC).

Rooted through SuperOneClik, and I am now on a journey to UNROOT (holding on on the rooting for a bit, don't ask ).

The unroot option in SuperOneClick doesn't remove busybox etc. But if I understand thing correctly, running these commands will remove all traces of root on my device:

su

rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm -r /system/xbin/busybox

rm -r /system/bin/su

Am I right? New to the Samsung camp in Android land. Used to unroot through HTC's RUUs
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Those commands will removed the apps. You can just do a non-wipe flash of the firmware as well if you want.

I reiterate my question, maybe someone can answer me:

My Phone is branded under Vodafone Romania.

Is it safe to flash WKE7 generic UK XEU over? Or should I go with multi CSC?

Is there a way to do a backup of my current KE2 & OXFKD4 ? I see that there is a Cosmote Romania KE2. How about Vodafone Romania KE2?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Your phone is unbranded based on what you've posted so the Cosmote OXF would be your backup firmware. It maybe simlocked. Generic XEU should work throughout Europe I believe.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well it's the same baseband as XXKE4 so it would remain the same.
[Galaxy S II General] spookyx:
Yoy are right. Not branded, but sim locked. Thank you for the response. I will go ahead and flash KE7 then.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Chilean CHEKE1 CSC now available to download.
[Galaxy S II General] spookyx:
Thanks, it worked well installing KE7 with Generic XEU.

However, the Android OS still uses lots of cpu/battery and drains my battery fast.

35min running the phone Android OS is using 51% of battery use (total 10m 24s of CPU).

ran odin with the insecure kernal on phone (in download mode)

ran superone click and clicked root (root ran and I said yes to installing busybox)

ran odin again with XWKE7 from top of thread it all ran fine with what appears to be no issues..

launch phone like normal and ran Titainium Backup and it tells me I dont have root. I have tried to re-root the phone with superone click but it just crashes now when I click Root. I hope I have provided enough info to warrant getting help. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks Guys

Hi guys, I need some help. My I9100 came with the above mentioned firmware (CPW's, as highlighted in red). I downloaded it in order to get official ICS update via kies. But when I flashed it, kies said that the device didn't support the update via kies and there was DBT written at the end of my firmware info (see pic below). I downloaded the CPW version but still it didn't recognize it as CPW.

I then downloaded same firmware from check fus but when I flashed it, kies said "unknown phone" and "unknown" was written in CSC info.

Kindly help me what should I do? Kies used to detect my firmware and inform of updates but not after flashing this firmware.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Check again with dialing "*#1234#" into your phone.

What does it say for CSC?

And with the code "*#272*" + your phone's IMEI + "#" you can check, if you have a multi CSC running, and if yes, what CSC is active.

Maybe DBT CSC is active and that's why KIES does not recognize your phone.

Hi Guys,

Need help.

Flashed XWKL1 with Mobile Odin (ever root Option enabled). After flashing it says multi CSE Loaded.

After rebooting when I check the firmware version using *#1234#, Phone and PDA shows correct version but in CSE it shows CSE : Unknown.

Then I flashed again and after selecting the firmware file in Mobile Odin, I selected ODDKF3 CSC (which I had before). But after flashing I’m getting same result.

What to do??? Please help….
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try to boot into recovery mode (press Volume UP + Home + Power until recovery menu appears), then wipe cache and reboot the phone.

If that does not help, try to do a factory reset (wipe data) in recovery.

If that does not help either, try to flash the ROM again.

Good luck !

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

When on multi CSC, have you dialed the "*#272*" + your phone's IMEI + "#" code into your phone to select the active CSC?

Maybe that is what you should have done before flashing another CSC.

Good luck !

For me the media scanner (and android.process.media) takes a hell of a lot of time, and a hell great amount of battery life 5-10% in minutes.

After removing all my pics, videos, and mp3 the process is faster, but the media scanning behaviour is different (and worst IMO). Now you get an icon "checking for SD error" or something for a couple of seconds, and that's all. And media scanner runs in the background with no progress bar. Some times several minutes after rebooting I get a "flash"/pop-up notification (not on the notification bar, but a text message on the middle bottom of the screen) that "Media scanning is complete". On GB there was a progress bar on the notification bar, so you could see it. Sometimes on GB the progress bar hanged and didn't finished (and the phone started heating up), so I could be aware, reboot the phone, and the new media scan went fast and with no problems. Now with the media scann running in the background I can't be able to "see" actually when the process hanged.

previouslly cleared storage media data, cleared cache and dalvnik.

So true... it's incredible how the can make changes to make things worst... why did they took the contact tab from the dialer, it was so handy.

Other problem I'm having is that "Wifi connecting" takes very long to even get turned on (before even connecting to anything)... it stays greyed out "conecting... for a couple of minutes"

I'm thinking on going back to GB, but I'll give it some days and see if new Firmwares makes it better
