Good luck with the new handset bro. Our paths will cross in the future so until then, adios amigo.

Somewhere on the forum I posted a wpa supplicant that you can use to replace the existing one in the stock firmware to fix the WiFi issues. At present I'm not in full control of my faculties to please have a look for it by searching the forum. This post brought you by my awesome touch typing skills and autocorrect on the ICS keyboard.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm testing to check battery life so I've introduced a variable into a controlled environment to see how it affected measured data, i.e. battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Swype is included, just go into settings and enable it in the language and keyboard section.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Always a pleasure my friend. :)
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Thanks Intra, KL1 modem was junk for me as well. Would show stronger signal, but other party could not hear me sometimes.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Nice catch. I admit I missed it as I didn't play close attention to the included details. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
We need a single global service provider and this crap would be a thing of the past.

Hummm, Intratech global cellular communications inc might be an idea born from this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The original firmware is in the carrier firmware thread as all carrier firmware are. Yes, I'll upload the CSC package but probably best to do this when I'm not under the influence.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Haha for sure, US carriers suck, I'd switch in a heartbeat!
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
XEU XWKI4 would be the one you're after. It's the newest unbranded firmware for the UK.

Facelock was worked well in the new I9100XXLPB ICS 4.03. It was the best beta release so far.

Intratech, I tried your Frankenstein xxlpb, it was crashed with CPU master, cleared dalvit and cache no helped. So I wipe the system but after that no 3G data for me. How to solved it? Meantime I reflashed to the Flankenstein xxlpb version and it worked again. So how to solved it when I have no 3G data connections. Thank!

How can I extract or look into CSC files e.g. CSC_I9100OXXKJ1.tar.md5?

I only got cache.img and hidden.img, but they won't open with ISO/unpack tools.

And second question: How can I replace the CSC in the Frankenstein XWLA4 and repack to .tar/.tar.md5?

If it is, then yes. Otherwise no....

LPB

First of, thanks intratech. As always you are the best man.

Here's my review of LPB. After 2 days of continous use, I've not had any Fc's or hangs, there's a little lag when making calls (the screen keeps off for some reason)

"It haz teh touchwiz but no swype", and there is no way to connect as a mass storage device.

Other than that, I think that this build is almost ready for prime time.

Cheers.

Thanks for the non wipe LPB rom, everything work

I flashed your Frankenstein non wipe on top of Hypedriod v6, and had a few small problems, which I might not of had with a full wipe..

Or could you please suggest which Rom you flashed over if you feel that the LPB Rom worked quite well after you flashed it..

Or do you have a Full Wipe version??

Well, I know there is a thanks button but that's not showing the amount of appreciation I've been having for a long time so ...

Many, many thanks, Intratech! Fabulous work you're doing. I've been using your frankenstein ROMs for quite a while (suits me perfectly too as they come with the right languages I use).

To avoid being off-topic, can anyone (or Intratech) tell me if there is always going to be a (red) warning if a ROM will wipe the phone? I noticed a few "wipe" warnings in the past but for quite a while there haven't been any (was I just lucky with the 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 that I flashed?). Is there any way to actually check prior to flashing whether it will wipe the phone or not?

Once again, a thousand thanks and I really hope you'll be able to continue providing us with these!

Cheers!

If the ROM are WIPE Intratech will write in BIG LETTERS in red that its a WIPE ROM...

[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
LPB seems "show" more bars, but not sure if that translates into actual signal... will need to test further at the house which has pretty spotty signal overall due to the radiant barrier heat shield up in the attic. (KL1 would artificially show more bars but the other party had a hard time hearing me at times. Never had such issues with KI3/KI4.)

LPB does seem to have incredible data throughput... clocked a perfect 7.5Mbps down and 1.2 Mbps up this morning.

LPB's GPS performance seems iffy... doesn't seem to grab satellites as quickly indoors as KI3/KI4/KL1 did. But, it's definitely usable as I used Navigation for a bit this afternoon, and had no issues with lock/accuracy.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
This is a very good summation and matches my results almost exactly. That's why I have chosen KI3 because it gives me the best all around balance between call quality, signal, dl/ul and gps.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Yep, same with LPB as with KL1. Was walking around the garage today using the speakerphone, and other party kept saying I was cutting out even though it showed 2 bars consistently. I think these later modems are very much data throughput leaning at a detriment to voice call quality/consistency.

Back to KI3/KI4 for me.

Thanks Intratech!

XWLA4 is nearly as smooth as XILA2 but has way better battery life on my phone - see my test results:

Results for SpeedMod / Phenomenal / void / N.E.A.K. / Siyah / stock kernels

Everything is specific to my phone, my "normal" usage and my home location. Most values are exact results, but some are rounded. I usually have wifi, synch (three email accounts, calendar and news), Google Talk and Skype on.

For all custom kernels, I was running on Frankenstein XILA2 ROM (Modem: XXKL1).

For stock kernels, I was running on the corresponding stock ROM.

Always using the Samsung's standard / stock 1650mAh battery.

For void.echo I enabled the UV - nothing else.

For Siyah, as it has many, many configurable settings, I have changed nothing - just default settings.

For N.E.A.K. 1.3.x (Lulzactive) I tested VR schedule, Lulzactive governor, only enabled sched_mc and the rest unchanged defaults.

For N.E.A.K. 1.3.x (Lionheart) I tested VR schedule, Conservative governor, Lionheart tweaks, sched_mc enabled and the rest unchanged defaults.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks (in Performance governor if available)

Battery stats
[Galaxy S II General] rickg99:
DBT = Debitel is a communication provider in Germany. Because Debitel offers contracts for all 4 German network carriers its firmware is optimized for all 4 German networks. Debitel has replaced the official generic German XEG. In fact I never saw a firmware XEG.

It also has no provider specific bloatware:-)
[Galaxy S II General] MeX_DK:
the XXLPB ICS build is not recommended. I just tried it for a few days and while it looks sweet and all my general experience is that it is NOT suited for daily use with regular lock ups and app crashes.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
What do you mean by nearly as smooth?

Running Hyperdroid 6.1.17 that has a XILA2 base and runs very smoothly. Do you mean LA4 is not as smooth? In what extent? I know it's difficult to evaluate but if you could elaborate a bit more I'd be grateful :).

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9100 avec Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
With "nearly as smooth" I want to say that I could not recognize a big / significant difference in smoothness for "normal" usage (scrolling, browsing, starting apps, etc.).

Only when I go to the the "limits" by running some benchmark apps, XILA2 seems to be a very little bit faster ... represented by slightly higher benchmark scores in Quadrant, NenaMark2, Vellamo and AnTuTu.

But in other benchmarks, such as LinPack and CF-Bench, XWLA4 has slightly higher scores.

So, forget about a "real" difference in smoothness between these two ROMs/kernels.

As benchmark scores are not as important to me as battery savings, and for that XWLA4 is way better than XILA2 on my phone, I recommend this ROM and will keep it as new base for further kernel testings.

Hey, thanks for info! It it really clean of bloatware - even small one like in XEU? (some mini apps) ;) One more question, does it have same build date as previously released LA4 from Mobitel Slovenia?

and, yeah. I would agree that LA2 seemed little more snappier but overall LA4 is better - battery and with LPB modem ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Thank you for sharing that. I'm a heavy user and my battery easily lasts a day. So that's good enough for me.

I like smoothness and speed without resorting to overclocking. I think I'll stick to XILA2 for now :).
