@bala where did u download the aosp package from? For spike...pm the link...call logs don't work..can't receive calls after flashing that...btw spike is the best ICS right now...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Spike has released a modified aosp package last night with calls working, its there in the last 3 or 4 pages of that thread, can't search for th links now as I'm in mobile :)
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
That ROM does not exist. The upload was hacked by someone and the OP requested to close the thread. Better try something else like RemixICS or WanamLite.

I flashed Siyah beta on resurrection and now I can't get past Galaxy SII logo. The screen goes blank. Any help?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Can you go to CWM with 3 button combination?

@Ravi did you try the apk from their official website?
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Yeah that's all there. I just can't boot. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] joseph.alukka:
Hello guys,

I have an imported European S2 since 3 months and on this forum since quite sometime. Did samsung release ICS for Indian version?
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Not via kies. It is available here at xda though.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Okay. Try it step by step then.

First try clearing only cache and dalvik cache and try to see if it reboots properly. If not, try flashing the ROM again.

Siyah is still beta and did something bad code I guess. Which version you flashed btw?

Nothing to worry as long as you can go to CWM or download mode :)
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I know that but I just wanted to know what happened. Bala followed the Siyah thread, let's see if he has anything to say.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
@iekanash its still on beta stage anything could have happened. Well let's see what bala got to say.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
alright, so, i hear good reviews of the 2.3.5 leaked rom on samfirmware.com that is great. but, the rom does not support gTalk with video. so, is there any other workaround for the same? i really need gTalk with video. so, what are my chances?
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Root ........... i believe you could switch it with the one with video calling.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
try Skype? It has video calling also..so it will be good
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
That's already been recommended to him ........ it's i believe sykpe is banned in the middle east or something and he needs to do a voice / video chat ........ many other users have also dissuaded from using skype ....... say GTalk is way better
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
yes. skype is banned in ME. besides, with skype i have connectivity issues and it is a big time battery hog. unlike gTalk.

rooting is an option. but is there any root available for 2.3.5? and won't changing to a rooted kernel have an effect on the battery life?

should i go through with this or just stick with the XXKG1 that i already have for a little while longer and update to the official 2.3.X of the indian release?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
oh......Skype is banned? why?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
yeah.. god knows. crazy rules. quite a few good websites are banned
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
have a look here

http://android.modaco.com/topic/339390-r1-12-may-google-video-talk-installer/

[Galaxy S II General] emze:
thank you for your reply bro

the insecure kernel thing is going over my head. i am not new to flashing firmwares on samsung. but it does take a little while for me to understand certain things. if you have seen on my profile, i am a doctor(yes a doctor) and doctors are NOT supposed to be tech savy :)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I started using T9 Trace on my S8500, then after buying the I9100 I thought Swype would be much better, but it failed totally in comparison to T9 Trace. The Dictionary is way too complicated. I was using it anyway until I found TouchPal keyboard. Don't wanna go back to Swype for now.
[Galaxy S II General] eaglerazor123:
Whoa he isn't normal guy,he is Paul O'Brein,great coder of all time.!!
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Hmmmmmmm

Sorry was out for lunch :D

Basically I'm assuming that you have no prior knowledge of any thing core technical computer related I'm gonna say this.

Kernels are intergrated into the rom. Its what makes the rom run. The beating heart of android if you will. Kernels add much of the behind the scenes functionality that you get from a ROM. It is also responsible for how the CPU runs, how it decides to change frequency and even how much power it uses at that frequency. The kernel is probably the biggest and most important part of Android.

So now Rooting. Rooting is nothing but basically having super user privileges over your phone so you can uninstall system programs and services access the /system folder place files in and out of it etc. etc. The stock kernels are secure meaning they will not allow you to run the super user mode. So to root we need to flash insecure kernels which are primitive kernels but support newer ROMS. So we flash em and root the phone. But after installing softwares like CWM mod or busybox we reflash the stock kernel that goes with the ROM. So after that we have the same ROM that we had previous to rooting and super user mode to do all things root in it.

Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Hmmmmmm lemme just use swype for the moment cause i kinda just upgraded from the touch keyboard. I'll keep T9 Trace and Touchpal in mind when i adept to swype.

Din know anythin bout it just found it through google. I'm guessin he's kinda big ?

Also turns out Chainfire's kernels already have root+superuser+busybox+Clockwork Mod and it's stock :eek: so you need'nt worry just flash the kernel via odin from the PDA section.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
thank you for the info buddy, i have downloaded 2.3.5 and CF root. will do the upgrade some time later. btw, for my galaxy s1, i have changed roms at the drop of a hat. CM, MIUI, cooked roms, etc. so, got an idea about things. how ever, you have given me quite a bit of info on a lot of things. :) good job.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
How is our Battery after Calibration?

and can you say in detailed way how you did it?
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Cheers,

Always there to help mate. :D
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
It's been what 2 days since I changed my ROM it's already given me a day full of battery and still going on.

The Process so to speak:

Kill the battery first ( Wifi + Angry Birds + HD Games + Download, whatever you can think of) meaning drain the beast.

Then Charge it some what and turn it on

Let it charge to 100% till the beep.

Pull out the battery and charge in power off mode it'll be slightly less than 100 when you plug it into the charger again.

Then power on again and charge to 100 and use.

You are done :)
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
oh, and one more thing. although this is basic stuff, i have never done a nandroid backup. now, coming to think about it, i got some games that i have been playing, and i dont want to loose that information. so, will nandroid help that out? and how do i go about doing it?
[Galaxy S II General] veer987:
Hi Guys... im very happy to see a thread for Indian SGS2 owners!! i was using a HTC HD2 (running NDT MIUI 2.3.5), but its screen got shattered last week as it slipped from my hands :(

Anyways, no i have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 (just bough it last night)!!! this phone looks great.. feels great.. has a brilliant screen.. etc etc etc...

I wnated to ask as to which is the latest firmware on your phones?? mine is a Aug 2011 manufactured unit.. XWKF3... android 2.3.3

i read that some of you have have 2.3.5?? do u have official updates?? as on Samsung Kies it says my phone is up to date...

or have ul rooted ur roms and downloaded unofficial updates?? (samfirware)

Also, do u need to root ur phone to download unofficial updates?

Also, when i click on Software Updates in the settings menu, it never connects to the server (but i hv been trying this on EDGE, will try this on wi-fi at home later tonite), do u also face similar problems?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Thanks will try that..Can you show the Battery Status Pic

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

No you don't need to root to try Unofficial Firmwares...Software updates is not live in 2.3.3....It does in 2.3.4(I hope the FW 2.3.4 I have tried did that)
[Galaxy S II General] veer987:
So trying an unofficial firmware doesnt void your warranty???

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
actually the problem lies with the mixer of system components used in resurrection. Still most of the components comes from XXLPH in resurrection 1.0 rom, that should be(most probably) the cause of blank screen with siyah as siyah only supports LPQ and later roms.

By the way i too had the same blank screen when using resurrection + siyah :p

How did you install the aosp package? try this method.

1.Install rom and reboot.

2.finish the initial welcome screen work.

3.reboot to cwm and flash aosp (+ siyah)

4. reboot and now it should be ok.

also did you tried the aosp package from decodex (the one i mentioned earlier), it never gave me crash whatsover.

Oh good. It was only a router that you got right? Does it how is the wireless coverage? And can you mount it to a wall?
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
belkin is good as i have seen it in my friends home, and im using netgear and it is good too. heard you need signals upto 3rd floor, why not go for router with longer range like belkinN300?

belkin n300 has a coverage of 365m compared to 300m in N150
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
What you mean by It was only a router that you got right? Can't mount it to a wall....Can't say much about wireless coverage because never tried it outside of the flat..
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
If that n150 is wireless N then the range will be the best among 3 of them
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
Now contacts stopped working with the aosp package... :-(

And I use the buffalo router..its brilliant..I can also set up an Adhoc network for my psp with just one click...and you can mount out on wall...its had ring like thing..that can be used to Mount...signal strength is dement for this class of routers...very easy to set up a also...got it for 1200 :-D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
he meant weather its a router or modem + router. actually belkin n150 is only a router . Modem + router always costs more thatn 2k

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But N300 only router are like 1000 rupees extra. I already have a modem plus router from BSNL in ground floor. So the signal will somehow reach upto 2nd floor. I will place this router in 2nd floor through bridge mode where I will not need to draw any cables from ground. This is what I'm thinking. If I need to buy N300 that I would have to go for the modem plus router will cost around 4K. What do you think?

You mean to say 802.11n routers?

Well it goes like this from official website pages:

1. Buffalo WCR GN is showing as IEEE802.11g, IEEE802.11b but the description reads as " Wireless-N Technology extends performance and increases range over Wireless-G" now what's that? Some other sites mention 802.11n too.. Source http://www.buffalo-asia.com/cgi-bin/products/detail.cgi?country=id&code=4&id=440

2. D link DIR 524 N150 is IEEE802.11b/g

3. Belkin Basic N150 does not specify properly in their website. Other few sites tell that it's 802.11n. The manual has mentioned "Integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point. The N150 technology enhances your Router’s wireless capabilities, allowing for data transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps across your network. "

So......?

Sometimes it's bad being a techi.. I tend to see and compare minute things.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
after using ics and cm9 , i dont think you will like cm7. i personally had bad times with cm7 in the past. but its worth give it a try as you have not tried it yet

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

if thats so then , i think you can use one router + modem , instead of 2,you can avoid separate power supply, configurations etc.

Comparing minute things is good for us, but when we do the same in a shop (noob shop) , we will look like aliens to them :D
