sorry dude, i don't know the answer. but i always wanted to put that up.
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
Silly Questions :p.

Can we install both APEX and NOVA as system apps at the same time.

If so, do we choose the default launcher in the same old way from the settings-->apps ?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Is it just me or every one has this??In LPB where is all my music in the music app?

I always see "media scanner running" toast notification
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
yes you can. i did it too. i am using apex. the nova, has a few feature like gestures which i use, missing. besides, both the launchers for some reason are crashing.

to those of you who said earlier and think that the latest ICS rom is a battery saver, think again. i am not getting that great battery life. although, it is better... no, much better than the previous versions.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
OT:

I found this theme and wonder if a same is available for Go Launcher as well, if anyone knows please PM/post here.

TIA.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Westcrip's Ressurection ics 8.6 is smooth as ****. Undoubtedly the best ICS rom out there. The customization over touchwiz is beautiful. It also has almost all the aosp apps including the people app. I like it a lot better than CM9 at the moment. This ROM is based on lidroid's ROM & lidroid who has done a fantastic job in some Chinese forum.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you have to disable, stop some service in the background to get good battery life :) Some of them are

1. Turn off accounts and sync

2. Untick all options in location services.

3. Disable socialhub*,syncml and someother apps.

It will give you enough battery life for a stock (beta) kernel.

One letdown is apex and nova consumes more battery, but as long as they are in beta it shouldnt matter.

Edit:

My battery is @ 95 % after 8 +hrs , (initially i pulled my charger at 98% :D)

Hi All ,

Tried Resurrection 8.6 phone rebooted twice when removing headset from the jack. So planning to go back to Checkrom v4 .

Do i need to flash a 2.3.6 bootloader or just install the zip from SD.(of course after a full wipe)
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Full wipe and flash the checkrom or flash stock rom then checkrom.i would suggest to nand backup gb rom and you can easily swap between ics and gb.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
First one is correct.

As for the second one keep your setup like this:

1. Turn off both background data and auto sync when in both wifi and data mode

2. If you are downloading something off the market, the market will prompt you to enable background data. So enable that. And after downloading disable background data.

3. If you want to use data network itself, just turn off the wifi and turn on the data network mode and start using. No need to change anything for background data or auto sync unless the apps request for the same.

@karchukumble. Thank you for for the link downloading now. The speed if varying from 60-120kB/s
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I think its better than Hotfile. Resumable !!

Regarding Background data, Gtalk also need BD to be enabled. On stock rom IM aslo need it, but I am not sure as I didn't played much with stock ROm

Guys thinking of purchasing 32gb card, strontium offers 32gb with class 10 speed. Both sandisk and transcend are only class 4. Which one do you people recommend?

Also any links for sandisk 32gb class 10 card would be appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I recently bought Class 10 16GB Scandisk from Flipkart... I think, 32GB are rarely available in India ... :(. I was also looking for 32GB but then ended up buying 16GB.
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Many members in this forum have commented that Class 4 of sandisk's speed is comparable to Class 10 of other manufacturers like Samsung.. and also the cost!

Sandisk is very reliable and works with good speed. The bad block that come with Sandisk is quite less so you get more of usable memory.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
im having transcend 16gb as of now, thought of an upgrade :) btw how about strontium?? it offer class 10 cards and is available with 5 years warranty.

class 4 is 4mb read speed and class 10 is 10 mb read speed, so i dont think its comparable.
[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:
Hey bala ... do try out Lexar class 10 32 GB... I have been using it for almost 3 months now and the performance is very good ... constant 10+ MB/s write and 19+ MB/s read speed.... also last month Amazon reduced its price heavily ... check it out here

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...lass-10-microsd-card-reader-for-39-99-78-off/

and yeah ... it has 5 years warranty and it comes with a handy card reader which connects to normal USB port on the computer.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Never Heard of this company ...So, its has be risk If you go for it...I would say no since, 32GB Class 10 would be a bit on higher cost.

In that case, I think You should rely on reliable brands.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
it seems the price is increased to 70$ for that offer :(

but there are positive reviews there in flipkart, even someone posted the test results of sd card test there

[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Buddy, but there are only 3 reviews. I don't think we should judge on 3 reviews. I feel 2.5K is quiet a money for SD Card. Make your decision wisely on this one Dude... :)
[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
Hi Bala

"The class of the card only shows the MINIMUM sustained read/write speeds of the card and has nothing to do with the peak speeds."

"Sandisk usually deliver more than promised, so a class 4 could be performing like class 6 or even class 10. On the other hand if it performs just like class 4, you can't return it claiming there is something wrong with it."

"The class rating of cards e.g. class 2, 4, 6, 10 etc (the number inside the "C" printed on the cards) relates to their continuous read/write performance, not their random read/write performance. Consequently the class rating isn't a reliable indicator to their performance."

"I have a SanDisk class 2 (8GB), write speed is 7MB/s and read speed 14MB/s.

That's faster than class 6!"

Okay Bala.

That's the kind of things I have been reading about the SanDisks. The reality seems to contradict classes of cards.

Now the decision is yours.:p:p:p

Issue while dialing numbers

Ever since I flashed LPB and then went back KL1(cause I didn't like some things in LPB), whenever I dial a number it is displayed in iPhone style format for eg. 999-999-9999.

It never used to happen when hadn't flashed LPB. Is there any way I can correct this
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Nice info, thanks for that.

Even i know all these info, my mind is not accepting to go for class 4 again:D. continuous read write performance plays a major role when playing HD videos, and you can see the visible difference of speed between class 4 and 10 when making and restoring a nandroid backup, thats where continuous read/write performance comes into place. im not bothered about random read/write performace, like you said even a class 2 card will be sufficient for random read/write works :)

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

change your language settings.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

yup, will surely go for a nice card, lets get some data from google about that card
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
I am using sandisk 32gb card class 4 since 3months. No Big difference, My nandroid backup or restore takes 12-15 min. Each nandriod takes some 1.5 to 2gb avg 1.8gb

thats acceptable for me.

IF I remove card and try in memory cards ,speeds for copying vary between 4-6MB/s. more steadily in 4-5 MB range .Even USB mass mode,the speeds are same,

right now all class 10 cards are in higher price range, their price may fall drastically. IMHO, its not advisable to invest more on those.(just my opinion) Most of the memory we store on the memory card is usally is unmoved. Or it may be moved for just backup purpose only. Its not like a pendrive/

just remember that we have already have a 16gb memory on board in the phone and it is fast.it does 9-10MB/s write speeds for me. So if i really want to copy files in hurry,i do it my phone memory. later in leisure time we can remove them to mmc.

Hi guys,

I am from Pune India.

Here's what I tried :

Hi Guys,

My 1st post here...

Well here's how I landed up to boot loop..

Wanted to install Titanium Back and since my S2 (India) was on the Official Rom was unable to do it. So thought will root it and then install it. Have used Odin a couple to times to update firmware for my friends so thought the process of rooting is also simple...

Anyways started following :

And ZAPPPP!!! the phone did reboot but with the yellow triangle at the bottom..

the kernel I downloaded was : CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5

Now after reading 30 pages of this thread and trying a few ROM (12 times) and flashing with VillainROM-SGS2-V1.1.tar 2 times I am still not able to boot my phone.

I am able to go into downloading mode and was happy to know its not bricked but unable to go to restore (Volume Up + Home + Power) does not work...

Now I am new to Android and not sure what my Kernel was or the details Just remember that Android version I last updated via kies was 2.3.6.(Iam from INDIA) Not sure of the other details..

Can you guys please help been searching for 24hrs and landed up on this thread and was reading and trying to get my phone back to normal but finally after so many tries gave up and though will ask...

No help

Tried the help in the below mentioned thread nothing...

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Flash a stock or different custom rom it might fix it
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
Welcome to the technology world where things go so fast, you cant even imagine. So, keep flashing and enjoy the best kernel for SGS2. :D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
especially the siyah world is very very fast :D
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
Thanks for the quick reply...

When I try it and reboot it shows me a Phone-Triangle-PC...

Any particular stock or different custom rom which I should tried..

I tried : GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKK2_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4

But it also failed..

:(
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
First tell us, if you own I9100 or I9100G. If you own I9100 then read head.

I think, You need to flash Full WIPE ROM.... Download XXLPB for now...and see if that works ... This one is ICS ROM and Full Wipe.

Later on, If you are booted fine...Flash 2.3.6 Indian version and Wipe.

If you have 9100G , Then flash ROM of that version.
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
I have the GT-I9100G

Tried the new ICS I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX also but it also failed and then back to the Phone-Triangle-PC

Unable to go to Restore mode to do a wipe only able to go to download mode.

:(
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Like I said, Never flash ROM of different Model... Check on sammobile.com and flash ROM that is of I9100G.

I9100G and I9100 have a different hardware ... hence, their ROMs are not compatible with each other.

Never do it in future again!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
NEVER TRY I9100 ROMS ON I9100G....Download a I9100G rom not I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
Damn is this I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX for I9100 or I9100G

Because on Sammobile it was given under S2 offical ICS ROM

Can you please send me a link for I9100G...

I will be really greatfull if that works..
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1374135&highlight=9100g
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
Well it says Flash it through CWM

I don't have it on the phone and its not going to Restore mode..

Currently downloading this : GT-I9100G_INU_I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_I9100GDDKI1

I think that was the last version on my phone since I remember WKJ2 present.

Is this ok??

And if I want to wipe everything and unable to go in restore mode how can I do it?

Thanks a lot for you help bro really appreciate it..
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Yes, Go Ahead. First Flash this and see if it helps you boot up. Then You can think of Wipe, if recovery mode it back.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
any i9100g rom works...after flashing try to boot if it works no need to wipe
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:

[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Which ROM you flashed ? INU one ? this happens if you flash ROM with some specific signature ... Like CHINA I9100 ROM cannot be flashed on international one though its same model.
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
This one : GT-I9100G_INU_I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_I9100GDDKI1

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Guys i think ill end up with either sandisk or transcend class 4 card.(preferably sandisk) as this a quick deal no time for online ordering and stuff :)

Hopefully i made a right choice, what you people say?

I am placing in in PDA...

Once its on Phone-Triangle_PC does not go to download mode..

If I flash it with villianROM1.1 I get the Samsung Boot Screen with Yellow Triangle and it stops there and if I switch my phone and restart it then it goes to download mode..

:(
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Unplug your phone, and wait for a while .... Make sure, You put file into PDA...

Make sure you don't tick Re Partition.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Man, Stop flashing, ROMs of I9100 Model. You will never get it working on I9100G. I think You need 3 file firmware now. Check if its available...I would say first try with INU version.
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Modern Combat 3 : Fallen Nation is available for free at Samsung Apps only for SGS2 but :p

I have used Odin a few times to update so knew it has to go in PDA with Re Partition Not Ticked..

:(
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
1) Switch Off your Phone ...

2) Remove battery and put it back.

3) Directly Go into Donwload Mode ... Volume Down + Power + Home.

4) Connect to USB.

5) Start ODIN , Select PDA and Start.

See what happens then

And thanks again for you patience and help..

Sorry bout it..
[Galaxy S II General] live4speed:
It seems you have soft bricked your phone. You'll need usb jig to get your phone into download mode. Only then you can flash rom via odin
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
In addition to that exit all other running app including kies
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
Iam able to get into download mode however apart for villianROM1.1(Which I understand is for GTI9100 and not GTI9100G) If I try any ROM it goes to that Phone-Triangle-PC screen and then it does not allow me to go to download mode. IF I again flash with villian ROM bingo again able to go to download mode but unable to flash rom and then back to the phone triangle pc thing.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I WANT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!how?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I think, You are confused and getting all of us as well...

Simply Answer this... "Are you able to go into Download Mode from switched off phone ?"

If Yes, then Follow procedure I mentioned earlier
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
SanDisk all the way. Try this buyer as I have brought from them myself and checked for whether its genuine and it passed the tests. You will get 4-6mbps write speed and 19+ read.

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Try what Virtualsk and others said...if it didn't work.......I think your mobile motherboard is messed up...flash 2.3.3 version of I9100G and use Jig to make the counter 0 and go to a service center and say you were updating through KIES and this happened..act like a Noob there
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Ravi, You just gave him soft heart attack.... :D:D:D:D

But, Its likely that his Motherboard is messed up since, He flashed exynos based kernel on TI-OMAP. Anyway, Sh**t Happens!

Service Center in Pune is @ Deccan. Building where , previously ABN AMRO ATM was there ...I hope you know that place. Coz, i dont know the name of it. but its cross opposite to R DECCAN.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I think I read somewhere that flashing other mobiles FW will give problems and he did same so I thought it might be messed up...but he have warranty so no need to worry...He might get new mobile or get it fixed
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
Well I am able to get into download mode. I guess from all the answers you have given that the 1st time I flashed my phone to root I did it with wrong kernel...which was CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5 not sure.. But only after you guys answered that I came to know that villianROM was wrong..

Anyways I would **** to try the correct ROM this time so will you guys be kind enough to send a link from were I can download the correct ROM including the .PIT file I guess I will need that too..

Thanks for the address Virtualsk its in Bhosale Shinde Arcade in deccan 1st floor.. lol..

Anyway by any chance I could get a jig in a shop in pune? IF all fails.. lol..

Thanks a lot for the help guys... wish I could return the help in future..
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
So you've decide on what I said this morning with the idea of class 4 cards :D, would say you stick on to sandisk..
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
One you donwloaded from Sammobile , is the right one ... ROM having I9100G as a model should be for your device.

JIG can be order online from ebay. Not sure about shop. But you can tell them how to make it and they can make one for you.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I think you need to flash I9100g Rom and Kernel..Will try to search one..I think it might fix...If not only way is Service Center
[Galaxy S II General] Jay_B:
Ok will order a jig online...

As for sammobile there is not mention for I9100g can you please point out correct one please.. Theres only SII9100 I can see in official ROM on sammobile.

Thanks again for the help
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Here you go...

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100G&r=2#regiona

If you are able to successfully flash the firmware and the phone becomes normal like before... then I dont think you need to visit the Service Center..

But still order the jig and keep to remove the yellow triangle and reset the binary..

Touch screen sensitivity LOST in ICS

is anyone experiencing this or am I the only one ???

It was all fine while using GB but from the time I am using ICS, I feel my touch screen sensitivity has been lost to some extent. Its the same with most of the ICS ROMs... ( Simplistic ICS, WanamLite Stock etc...)

Is it something to do with the kernel or something else ???

Could someone please assist me in finding a stable ICS ROM because my data connection also dosent seem to work with most of the new LPB ICS Roms...

If I need to change my kernel, then can someone please give me a link to a stable ICS kernel ???
