[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Evening folks, im a regular on the HD2 forums ive had one now since last year and a great phone it is too and has served me well but i simply must have a Galaxy S2 and as soon as i have enough cash ill be buying one SIM free.

I have lots of apps on my rooted HD2, maybe 70% from the Android market and the rest are apk's i picked up here and other websites, am i correct in saying that i will need to have a rooted phone in order for these apps (the ones i didn't get from the market) work on my phone or can i just install them via root explorer?

Also is it easy enough to root the Galaxy S2, im not a noob when it comes to flashing ROM's,etc but im so used to the HD2 now it'll take some time getting used to the Galaxy S2 when i do get one.

Any info appreciated.

cheers :)
[Galaxy S II General] Café King:
You should install the apk's without any problems. You can still install them if they require root, and your phone is not rooted.

Yes, it is very easy to root this awesome device :)

/CK
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Thanks for that, i do plan on rooting it anyway when i get it which will hopefully in the next 3/4 weeks,gonna be sad selling my HD2 but more excited about getting this amazing phone.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Café King:
Look forward to it. Most awesome phone ever! :) I honestly ever had a better device than this.

[Galaxy S II General] Tremium:
There's a setting in the SII which allows you to install apk's from unknown manufacturers. I've downloaded some .apk's myself and installed them without having to root or download an extra app.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Nice one which setting is that mate?
[Galaxy S II General] Tremium:
Settings - Applications - Tick 'Unknown sources' ("Allows installation of non-Market applications").

Hi thinking of giving this rom a try, but wonder which file goes were i know CSC goes in CSC box but which box for the other 2?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redcraze:
Very pleased with this rom. Tried GB but have to agree with the majority and say GB's battery life is a huge let down.

After GB went back to JS8 and once found out another 2.2.1 rom had been released I couldn't resist and flashed JSD.

Have to say the battery life has improved over JS8- if that's possible, as JS8 was good enough already.

It still retains the smoothness of the 2.2.1 roms, GPS locks just as good, some bugs like the gallery bug still remain but can live with that.

All in all the best stock rom I have used so far with the addition of CF-Root. I used the one for JS8 and it went without a hitch.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] guy73:
I second that. Previously JS8 is my favourite rom and then darky 9.5. But now JSD is the best and stable stock froyo. Now i'm on JSD and stick to it until gb will getting mature. Maybe when the honeycomb release then the gb will be the matured rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] guy73:
Hey you moron! I'm still using this rom and installed so many software and its really stable and fast. Dun say anything stupid here if u dun want to give a try.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mawardi:
This is my true story. Already flashed almost all Gingerbread versions except JVO, I wanted to try CyanogenMod 7. After finished the flashing, I just lasted a day with that ROM. It's horrible. Why the heck did people think it's the best? Too many unacceptable bugs and no native video calling without data. So, I flashed XWJSD because I don't want to upgrade bootloader (still hoping for a stable CM7). I am shocked with XWJSD performance. Very fast even without lagfix (Quadrant score 1239). I have flashed JP3, JPU, JPY, JS3, JS5, JS7, JS8, Juwe's ROM, JVK, JVB, JVH and CM7. Even CM7 it's not that fast. So, there. It's not just because I flashed a new ROM, it's definitely fast. So far, too happy with this ROM. May flash again with a new Gingerbread or a stable CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SGS_elko:
All the people say it's fast. Good to hear this, also it is worth to flash this firmware.

What product code has this firmware? I tought it was from Luxemburg but it's not. Has any an idea? I want to spoof Kies and flash it, because Odin isn't an option for me.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Oh such a fresh air!.. especially after being strangled lately by alpha-quality GB ROMs. With the speedmod kernel and a bit of pruning of system apps, this ROM is FLYING!. Very stable. Plenty of free RAM. I've never been so impressed by a Froyo build by Samsung.

Definitely a keeper.

Well I went ahead with xwjsd from jvh and so far so good. 50% time without signal bug still there although i think its harmless and nothing a quick airplane node toggle doesn't fix. What drove me to go back was that with the gb roms taking a picture would take forever for some reason, now after i hit the picture button the camera takes the.picture almost immediately. It was that annoying for me.

Who can make CF-Root for JSD?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lokhor:
Why do you need CF Root? Just use Hardcore's Speedmod K13E
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hacksome:
I have an idea. Use SGS Kernel Flasher to backup the Stock Kernel. Then use SpeedMod to Root. Then again Flash back the stock Kernel. You may have to update the SU and Busybox later through market.

Becouse GPS fix is not very good and i need GPS AIDS for forced method. Where can I download K13 kernel? Is this Kernel good?

Confused

I have installed this firmware together with XXJVE modem and Speedmod K13E. I get a quadrant score of (only) 1279! This is after installation of speedmod and enabling lagfix (ext4) plus recommended tweaks. This can't be right? The score should be higher, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimmysalvo:
quadrant score has not particular meaning in terms of real performance. I get about 1400 and Ive never been so happy with any other roms (even w/ much higher score).

Dont forget to convert the file system also to the system directory!

BTW, flashing the modem ZSJPG improves battery life

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Skkip:
i think it's without. i get ~1650 with speedmod 13e and ext4.

flashing the modem ZSJPG improves battery life and connection quality for me and makes this the perfect froyo rom to stay on until a bugfree gb rom is available....

How did you manage to install CWM? I am having a problem installing using Rom Manager 4.3.0.1. The latest is only 2.5.1.2 and no 3.0.0.5. Either way I cannot boot to CWM recovery. Any tips guys?

By the way, the phone is rooted.

EDIT: I found out that my recovery was changed to 3e when I flashed this rom. :(

I changed it to 2e but still no luck with CWM installation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
With 2e recovery you have to select the install update.zip option that rommanager placed in your sdcard. If at first it reboots again to 2e just do it again to enter.cwm.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I tried more than 3 times already. I guess i'll have to wait til 3.0.0.5 is restored in Rom Manager.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 2310greg77:
+1...same opinion after trying jvh ,jvo ,js3,js5,js8...very smooth with adw ex...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
For XEU users here is how I did it:

1. Downloaded the XWJSD on samfirmware.com (already a 3-part file)

2. Downloaded XXJPY firmware on the same site (only a single part file)

and repackaged it manually to 3 part file using Ramad's guide.

3. Flashed XWJSD, repartition check, 512 pit

4. Flashed XXJPY CSC only (left PDA and Phone as blank) no repartition, no pit.

5. Reboot.

The problem is, XWJSD updated the boot recovery to 3e which wont allow me to install unsigned zips.

Installed 2e recovery using this:

1. Rooted it using SuperOneClick and installed Superuser.

2. Reboot! very important!

2. Manually copied these files using ADB

3. Installed Rom Manager and installed CWM2 recovery (I have to flash the update.zip many times before I got it to work though)

That's it. Hope this helps ;)

Oh man, by the way best Froyo, no best stock firmware I have tried so far :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scorpeeon:
imho the easiest way is just flash a custom kernel with odin (like hardcore k13e or latest voodoo), they have CWM and root built in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mialwe:
Yep, thats what I did, too, worked great with latest froyo speedmod kernel. My way to JSD, maybe some part can help somebody (if this is not wanted in this thread I'll remove it):

- factory reset/wipe previously installed JVO

- deodexed (odin) package by Ramad

- added bootloaders from JS8

- flashed this package using heimdall (linux user) and 512 pit

- factory reset/wipe

- flashed a multi csc containing DBT from JPY (if I remember right)

- activated CSC (*#272*IMEI#), triggering factory reset

- flashed latest froyo speedmod kernel

- nandroid backup + enable rec. tweaks, no lagfix

- CWM-installed stock theme with extended power menu and 5 lockscreen mod and clock-% mod

- test and nandroid backup #2

- restored some apps via adb install

- removed some default apps via sgstools & nitrality

- installed fix for e.g. force closing barcode scanner app after removing email.apk

- modified theme with my preferred clock and notification bar icons, added a little bit of transparency to the notification pulldown

- test and nandroid backup #3

Until now only the settings dialog gave me 2 times a force close (still don't know why), everything else is working fine, battery using JSD (=JPY) modem is ok (~ 1,5 - two days) but I like optimizing/playing around so...

Most recent changes:

- Disabled HSPA for better battery life, 3G is enough for me

- Trying modem XSJPG for better battery life, not sure if I should try JVE in some days, too...

- Modified settings.db for switching off wireless after 1min instead of default 15min (read somewhere wireless is using more battery than 3G, today read wireless is using less !? Have to look into that *note-to-self*)

ToDo:

- new nandroid backup :)

- try rom backup (done for JS8 but never tried to flash it)

- resist trying gingerbread again when it ist officially available here unless battery drain bug is fixed...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Yeah if I did that then there is no sense of flashing the latest rom since the base kernel of hardcore or voodoo kernel is JS8 or older. The new kernel is what I am after for. The Phone part is JPY and CSC part is just a multi CSC but doesn't have XEU. Besides I want it close to stock so I could compare it to other stock roms and see if there are noticeable differences. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] {Angel}:
Actually I understand that latest speedmod uses zsjpk kernel modules. And samsung doesnt make kernel changes for each release.

You could try using the modified 3e recovery and flashing cwm with rom manager, It's what ramad uses for his deodexed roms and I have used it and it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I stand corrected. Latest speedmod kernel is actually based from ZSJPJ kernel.

But I do believe kernels are changed and updated for almost all released roms.

That is why kernel devs update their base kernels too so that whatever samsung has changed or improved in the stock kernel, it will be included too in their custom kernels.

By the way, I have 2e recovery now. I will search for modified 3e recovery and insert it on the JSD kernel when I have time (and if I will be lucky to find one :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scorpeeon:
yeah, you have a point.. but since i need voodoo sound, a non-custom kernel is not really an option for me anyway :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SGS_elko:
Hello guys, the Phone of a friend of me will not go in to download mode with the 3 button method. He updated the Phone via Kies to JPY a few months ago, but still no 3 button fix. My questions are: Does this FW contains bootloaders? So if I flash it, will it get the 3 button combo FIX?

JSD + K13E = no GPS?

It seems that there is -or at least I have- major problem with the combination of 2.2.1 JSD + Speed Mod Kernel K13E = absolutely no GPS fix (even with GPS Aids which only worked in forced mode).

Fully reflashed with stock JSD and voila!.. GPS locked 9 sats within 20secs.

It must be something else. I have that combination (and 8 second locks)

Try reflashing speedmod as well.
