Indeed, the download was much faster that way, thnx!

Now I've flashed the latest 2.7, everything seems to be working ok, eccept for the market. I can search apps and look at the features but I'm not able to download any. The download indicator just keeps scrolling by but it never actually starts the download?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] blumsen:
So what do you guys use instead of Sammys video maker? I just shot a 2min clip and wanted to trim it a bit and add a mp3 as a soundtrack etc. and found out the sammy app "video maker" was removed from this ROM. It only happens like once a month that I need this functionality and dont have a laptop around, but still would be nice to have it on the sg2 for those occasions. Anyone managed to install the samsung apk or found an alternative?

/cheers

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Open settings, navigate to applications, open, all, find play store, clear data, then try again with play store.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeroensum:
Funny thing was that it wasn' t called Google Play, it kept the market settings/theme/etc after removing and re-adding my google account I rebooted the phone but no luck. Then after I re-synched all my stuff I tried the market once again and it wanted to update to Google Play, after the update I was still not able to download anything and tried your approach and whadda ya know! :) I' m one happy downloader @ the moment!

Thnx (you bet I've hit that button) !

Anyone else notice this?

I've been on v2.7 for 2 days no problem until now I get this error message when I plug USB cable "There was a problem using your SD Card for USB mass storage " Note mass storage still works, but error shows up.

I have no idea how to fix this please help and thank you

Edit: already wiped cache, davik cache and fix permission, unmounted sd card power off removed battery nothing change.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
You can try different build of play store. Also you can fix permissions in recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] charlyx:
Thanks for the answer , the prob is that I don't come to the CWM...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] almmpt:
Please send me the fallowing apk from the stock dialer of the 2.7 version...

/system/app/Phone.apk

I flash the ICS Dialer but I don't like it...

Thanks for all
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
The mirror uses a 200 Mbit uplink, without restrictions :).

The call recordings can be found under Sounds (/sdcard/Sounds), but only when you made recording ;).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Reflash the rom? Its non wipe
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
I had the same problem, tried everything, wiping cache/dalvik, fixed permissions.

I flashed with everything wiped, including a format of the emmc, therefore there is nothing what can give a problem.

I finally found a solution, I want to use the Swype keyboard (get it from beta.swype.com).

* Install keyboard

* Use Titanium Backup Pro or an other program to make swype a system app

* Restart the phone, (I made a nandroid backup, just in case of any problems) the new keyboard will be greyed out and checked

* Still it isn't possible to change to the new keyboard

* Go in Titanium Backup and freeze the Samsung keyboard (Don't do this without a installed keyboard!)

* Restart the phone (direct, to avoid FC's)

* Done! The keyboard works! (In my case it is... :))
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soraxd:
I know the guide says to do a factory reset before installing.. but I'm coming from 2.6 is it really necessary? I don't wanna resetup everything /download/install everything all over again..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Its not. But do Format /system anyway from cwm then boot to download and flash. Then boot to cwm again and wipe cache and dalvik cache...then boot.

I recommend using the latest siyah kernel too.

I came from v2.6 to 2.7 and all is well. If u have any toggle issues, boot to cwm and wipe cache, Calvin and fix permissions. This seems to fix the toggle issues.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] αкαѕнα:
I need that one too... i didn't like it at all :/

I was hoping to solve this wihout flashing the rom again too...

And i still cant find those phonecall recordings :/

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------

Hey...

Thanks, but there is a strange thing here anyway...

Before the update i found all recording easily within the music player, but now i don't...

I find all the old recordings, but not the new ones... I can now, because of your tip confirm that the new recordings actually exist, but i only find them by looking in that actual folder..

That’s really annoying... Is it something i have done wrong here?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eqjunkie:
Gave that a shot still no go, only thing Ive not tried now is SDCard format and complete reinstall. SDcard wipes everything I gather? including photos, music etc etc ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shanti.vt1:
Hello,

Just flashed the new version 2.7 and the language is coming up in Russion or something.

HOw do I make it English as Default.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
The very first time the phone boots after flash you will have the option. Just tap the top box in Russian and scroll and select to what ever language you like. Then tap the button below to proceed with rest of the setup.

If you've already gone past this you then have two options;

1. Factory reset, then change language on first boot as described above, or

2. Tap phone menu / bottom option ("settings") / scroll down and tap the option with the [A] ("language & input") / tap the top option (language) / now tap the language of your choice

Enjoy :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soraxd:
anyone else got this problem? im on 2.6 and when i go into download mode, my comp wont read the phone.. it sees it, but USB device not recognized keeps poping up on my tray.. however when the phone is on i can go into mass storage mode fine.. so its JUST when in download mode.. and it just started happening as of lite-ing rom 2.6
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Ensure USB debugging is enabled in phone settings. And or try a different PC USB port and wait for the drivers to load before running Odin. Ensure KIES is not running.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soraxd:
right now my phone is like bricked.. all i can get into is download mode.. and i tried 2 comps both are saying the same thing USB device not recognized

before i fked it up the phone was showing up when plugged in while it was on normally, and there wernt any problems it was being seen by my PC..

.. and it just started happening as of lite-ing rom 2.6 (coming from android 2.3.6)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hkgdllm:
Instagram not compatible with this rom? Is ther any other apps that are not compatible with this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BigE:
I am on 2.7 for several days now, with siyah 3.1 RC3. Works like a charm.

However, I had already 3 events the phone went to no signal (WiFi did work, but not phone or data). Restart did not help. I had to turn the phone off, wait a bit, and turn it on to get it back to normal.

Needless to say, when installed I did a full wipe, and re-install of all apps, and re-define mail. It does not FC , it does not freeze, just out of the blue the past 2 days I had 3 events of temporary no service.. (until shut off, and restart)

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Please explain the process / steps exactly you used to get to your situation.

Do you have CWM recovery installed, can you boot into it?

Did you make any nandroid backup?

Were you previously rooted?

What guide did you use to flash with Odin? Did you tick repartition? (hope not)

Did you get any errors in Odin during the flash?. .. Was it "successful"?

Have you tried another USB cable?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BigE:
I assume you are aware you need to use ODIN to flash right? but before you can, you should have gone to CWM, and wipe it all. I assume you did not. Search the XDA forum, download an official stock ROM from Samsung, and boot your phone. Don't bother installing anything. Than install a CF-rooted kernel. Get to recovery and wipe it clean.

Now try with ODIN to put 2.7.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
@ soraxd

I think you've flashed the wrong firmware, that is if you have a SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 :confused:

SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 is here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soraxd:
no guys, i have the i9100, i was running 2.6

so yeah.. im on Lite-ing rom 2.6.. i came from a 2.3.6 rom, used odin to flash, everything went fine. i went to update to liteing rom 2.7 and went into download mode, but when i go into download mode and connect my phone, i get USB Device Not Recognized .. it doesnt happen when my phone is turned on and connected, everything works fine, no issues. its only when im in Download Mode that i have this problem..

SOOO trying to be smart i plugged my phone in, it connected COM3 appeared, i rebooted phone into download mode, and flashed my rom.. it goes half way and then that USB Device Not Recognized popped up.. so now my phone is bricked i swear.. i cant even get into Recovery Mode, and Download Mode is useless..

what ive tried so far:

3 different computers (all running W7)

all USB ports on all computers

Installing, Uninstalling, Wiping all Kies data, lots of restarting

can anyone else confirm Download Mode works on 2.6 or 2.7?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Try battery pull or different USB cable. Edit: Aslo uninstall KIES fully, reboot PC and install just the Samsung drivers, reboot. Drivers found in Google.......

If that doesn't work, sounds like some partitions are corrupted.......

Sorry, if no PC can recoginise the phone while in Download Mode and you cannot boot into Recovery, you need to send for JTag or Samsung repair (void warranty).

JTag will be cheaper, list of owners here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
Instragram works without any problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
So...if I have this right...the flashing process with odin was interrupted with a USB error?

If so then jtag or Samsung repair is most likely the only option.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Edit: Yes and No..... There was a USB error before the flash was even attempted with Odin. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drakexpl:
I have this rom since yesterday (about 20 hours) and what I can say that it really boosted my phone over stock XXLPS, everything is working 100% fine without any problems at all. I flashed over stock XXLPS with CF-ROOT with 2xwipe then flash via ODIN and wipe again. 100% stable, my phone is really flying. And as far I have this rom, I can't imagine why is there so many problems about it in this thread (buggy bla bla bla). Just wipe your phone properly, follow the instructions.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
@ drakexpl

Agree totally mate. Users must wipe properly, and search the forum for previously posted fixes and follow instructions and suggestions. If all else fails, FULL wipe and check for issues before restoring any data.

Great ROM and no way I'd ever consider returning to GB either. Performance and smoothness is at least on par with the best GB, maybe better....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] westsider:
google mail doesnt work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
Can I flash this via MobileOdin, tried but got stuck on Samsung logo.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Make sure you do a factory reset, then try again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
Wipe the data of Gmail in Apps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
If you had Mobile Odin (Pro), select the options to wipe data and cache in the app. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
Yes I have and did that. I'm coming from sammy stock ics.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Flash "old school" route via Odin. Format System, wipe cache and data, and dalvik immediately before booting onto download mode and flash.

After first boot, reboot onto recovery and wipe cache and dalvik (maybe also "fix permissions" as previously suggested by Kenny if you have wifi or GPS toggle issues).

Reboot and setup. Enjoy.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jason8612:
Hmm

So far, using this ROM since yesterday, I am a big fan of this ROM. I was using Resurrection Remix before this and I was not a fan (too many issues - Picasa upload didn't work, calendar issues, etc) which this one has no issues.

So a big :) to this one!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] clownage:
can i ask why swype was removed? it's one of the best things since switching over to smart phones!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Just restore it from your Titanium Backup. Maybe LitePro doesn't like it....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alvin.durant:
Just flashed this rom i came from hydrogen which was seriously a battery drainer..

anyone on siyah rc3 on this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] scoobyy:
Hi all I have successfully flashed Lite'ning Rom v2.7.. But one PROBLEM..

I can't connect to Kies. I tried restarting phone and enabling and disabling USB debugging mode.

When USB debugging mode is enabled there are no messages Kies just try to detect but it never detects.

When debugging mode is off Kies gives the "Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies." error message.

In addition "Turn On USB Storage" screen pops every time i connect to the computer. I can use the phone as a mass storage without any problems. Only issue is connecting to Kies.

Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
You can download Swype from beta.swype.com, it's free.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Have you tried Kies Wifi? Maybe that works better for you :).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] scoobyy:
Thanks I'll try..

But still prefer the cable method due to battery consumption issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] αкαѕнα:
arrrg.. i just found out that the GPS is not working at all after the update...

I can't activate it.... any help?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik and fix permissions in CWM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chicolisto21:
Try to check if there is something obstructin the contact with the usb cable inside of the phone, i had a similar problem i couldnt do nothing since when i was in recovery mode or download mode the pc didnt recognize the phone, what i did was, took the screws off and checked the area of the usb conector then i noticed that there was something there obstructin the contact with the usb cable, it was a tiny pocket lint there. I took it out with an needle and presto the computer started to recognize it again. Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] αкαѕнα:
Strange... it worked.. lol.. that’s strange since i did a full wipe, including deleting cache and dalvik before install..

Anyway.. now it’s working... But i wasn't sure what i was supposed to do in CWM.. i just opened it and didn't find anything related to the GPS..

Thanks for helping me out <3
[Galaxy S II Android Development] megatm:
any news for v2.8 @ firm BULPC ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Its a Vodafone branded rom so I doubt it. Plus...build date is one day older than LP7.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eRPeeX:
Start Kies without your device connected and click on "Troubleshoot connection error"

Normally that will fix it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drakexpl:
Another day with Lite'ning 2.7 and I'm amazed - still no problems, no restarts, FCs or something. GTA III / MC3 / Shadow Gun - everything works very very good. Applied AGPS Patch 3.1 and now I have cold fix with ~ 30 seconds.

People, if you have problems with typical apps - WIPE YOUR ROM. WIPE BEFORE AND AFTER INSTALLATION. If you have issue with restored app which for everyone else works OK - Install it freshly, make some time to properly configure your fresh wiped phone. I always wipe before and after flash, everytime and 0 issues so far. Don't ask stupid questions to devs, you want to play with custom roms? Think then or stay stock.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Misterdjus:
Guys, two little things here. This is my 3rd ics rom, but the battery is still far more worse than 3.2.6 (or whatever the prev version was). Any ideas what the cause is? Already tried several kernels and yes, i did al the wiping and clearing and followed instructions.

Second i have a lot of translation errors in the dutch language (Nederlands). Is it possible to update or change this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
It personal, but with 4.0.3 the battery life is a lot better then with 3.2.6.

What kind of translation errors do you have? For so far I know it's the translation from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] αкαѕнα:
Its a small "bug".

Just choose another language, like English or whatever and then change back to Dutch...

Had the same problem... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3f1ant:
I'm still having trouble with the toggles stopping. After a reboot they seem to work fine, but after some random time they stop again.

A few pages back it was suggested to run 'latest siyah' so running rc3 now but that didn't help. Neither suggestion or wiping caches or fixing permissions.

Is this a kernel problem or just an instability in the toggles or both?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
I think it's a problem with both of them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
I wouldn't agree. Its not quite there yet. Not bad but definitely not better.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
I think it might be a Samsung issue to be honest. Wiping caches and fixing permissions did fix it for me but it does happen every now and again for some unknown reason. Its improved on the latest siyah but some people still have the issues
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fehrcomp:
+1 same problem here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
That's why it a personal opinion, for me it's a improvement of 25%, for somebody else a 25% decrease of battery life. It totally depends on the usage and which apps/widget etc you've installed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Misterdjus:
Ah ok thanks will try that. Hmm can't really believe the battery thing is personal. There has to be some sort of reason right? Well i'll just keep experimenting...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Misterdjus:
Hmm doesn't seem to solve the problem... The strange thing is its also wrong in english. It says on the lockscreen on network status: no sim card placed. And in the bottem of the screen the emergency call icon just says: correct. Also when i start up the phone it says i need to enter my puk code... Some applications have strange things as wel... Like youtube says synchronising where it should say loading...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
You have a strange phone :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] αкαѕнα:
so interesting..... and have you tried the full wipe routine ??

Like this:

I had lots of problems before and followed this guide:

- Boot to recovery

- Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache.

- In Advance: wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats.

- In mount and storage - format data , system and cache

- Reboot to download mode

- flash the rom with odin again

??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Sounds like ur rom is corrupt. I'd wipe data, format system, flash rom, wipe data, wood cache and dalvik cache. That will sort u out ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 3izz:
I'd say thanks for this great rom i tried many Ics roms but this one is amazimg no fc and the battery is much better using latest speedmod kernel ..:-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arcmanov:
This ROM is not allowing me to set my APN.

Everytime I add it and 'save' the APN list remains empty.

WTF? :confused:

I have never had this problem on any other ROM, stock or custom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Reboot you phone. Sometimes you can't do this direct after flashing. Reboot and try again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] αкαѕнα:
Whats the main deifference between SpeedMod, SiyahKernel and CF-Root LP7 anyway ??

Should i even care to look on any of those ?

I had lots of problems that i never experianced before and followed this guide:

- Boot to recovery

- Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache.

- In Advance: wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats.

- In mount and storage - format data , system and cache

- Reboot to download mode

- flash the rom with odin again

Then everything was working smooth.. but check out some of the updates in the LRToolbox...

BTW: could someone PLEASE send me their phone.apk.. I didn't like the ICS dialer at all...

I really think the Lite'ning Rom dialer should be downloadable too if you didn't like the other one...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rikko97:
Hi all.

Has anyone flashed this via mobile Odin? Does it work properly?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
I tried it and just hung on the samsung boot screen. Used MobileOdin Pro tried it with wipe and no wipe. Same result.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arcmanov:
OK, I got the APN working, but only after rebooting directly from that screen...

...which lead me to realise also that system settings only 'take' after a reboot.

Is there any fix for this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sduford:
Tried it too and got a boot loop.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arcmanov:
Too many niggling little issues with this ROM, so it's back to Revolution Remix.

Its a shame though, I can't use BLN with that one.

SwiftKeyed from my Samsung Galaxy S2 with Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rexboy:
BLN is a kernel issue not a ROM one, just flash a new kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dandroid13:
It works here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] c3k:
just discovered that rom settings overclock cpu @1200 Mhz

I think this has to be included in the OP description

EDIT: 1200 is default cpu freq!!! I'm going to take a coffee ;) ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheWizardbc:
That's depending an the kernel, Siyah uses 1200 MHz, maybe cf root also.

Now i flash litening 2.7 rom but camera dont work. İf i use camera app ( camera360, pro hd camera..etc. ) its working but if i try phone camera it isnt working.

What can i do ?? please help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Open root explorer, navigate to system/app, find camera apk and reinstall it. I doesn't work, delete it and push back, then reboot in recovery and fix permissions.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Full wipe of system, data, cache, dalvik immediately before LP ROM flash would have prevented you bringing bugs from another ROM....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Bloody toggle issue keeps happening here....getting annoying now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eqjunkie:
In the last 2 days ive done about 5 full wipes, Installed LR 2.0, 2.6, 2.7 (3 times), formatted SDCARD and manually added the LIME.APK to resolve this keypad problem in Portrait and still cant get it working. All keys work fine in landscape and was working prior to the original upgrade from 2.1 to 2.7

Its like an invisible line down the screen in portrait which refuses to recognise touch. Flip it on its side and it reads fine. Its doing my head in and Ive NFI what to try to get my keypad working again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] αкαѕнα:
Hey...

So... any chance of getting the lite'ning phone.apk available trough the LRToolbox ?

I would be very happy :o
