1. This one?

1. Well its called. 'DigitalClock.apk' its not there in stock version of CheckROM v4. You can download the apk from kitchen under widgets/apps > transparent widget pack. Flash that zip or extract the apk from the zip and push to SD card using root explorer.

2. You can try MiLocker from market. Got lots of unique locks screens. Or use the JKay settings to setup aosp lock screen. Widget locker is good but its not free.

Guys on which site S2 is available in white color ??
[Galaxy S II General] devvfata1ity:
u r welcome buddy. :)
[Galaxy S II General] adi8800GTX:
Hi guys today i finally updated my S2 to 2.3.6 XWKL1 through odin.Thank you for all the help !;)

Now i'm planning to root and install a custom ROM.And i've got few more n00b questions lined up for you.:p

Plz verify whether these steps are correct..

1)Root through this kernel..

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_INU_KL1-v5.0-CWM5.zip - [Click for QR Code] (6.46 MB, 798 views).Chainfire says its untested..should i go for it?

2)Take back up of all apps & data through Titanium backup(Should i take a back through CWM Recovery as well ?) Plz advise..

3)Flash the new ROM through CWM by placing the zip file in sd card..

I'm thinking of flashing CheckROM or Criskelo.But both those ROM's have XWKK5 firmware which wasnt released for India?Will those work for the networks available here or do i need to know something else?Sorry i'm new to all this..:(

Thanks in advance..:)

whenever I restart my phone ... certain apps like yahoo msngr and some games automatically (can see'em in the task manager ) .... Is there any simple way to disable them at startup ?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
try ebay......
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Use Gemini App Manager and disable boot from the apps you need.

I'll say SpeedMod :)

1- Correct.

2- Just take a Nandroid Backup, ie- via CWM Recovery and later with advanced restore restore only Data.

Random reboots after XWKL1 update

Hey All,

I updated my SGS2 from KF3 to KL1 last night using KIES.

Since then my device has been rebooting randomly - It has rebooted automatically 3-4 times in the last 12 hours I have flashed this.

Anyone else facing this? or have a solution except factory reset and all?
[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
rooted?

I updated to KL1 using kies. I see hindi fonts in my messages which were earlier boxes. But when I browse on hindi websites it still shows me those (idiot) boxes. Is there any solution to this without rooting the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] jasraja:
This is a wrong place to ask such questions. Just a suggestion - why don't you try India Broadband forums.
[Galaxy S II General] devvfata1ity:
are u rooted? if no..then clear cache by going into recovery, take out battery and wait for a couple of mins and then reboot. :)

Hi Everybody

any one here tried ICS CyanogenMod 9 on Indian Vodafone network?

I have tried but didn't got any network signal.

Please advice
[Galaxy S II General] jasraja:
Thanks dude! It was

Opera mini the culprit. Got the regular Indic fonts in the stocks browser.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You welcome mate. Stock browser is way better than any others. It's choice thing though
[Galaxy S II General] eaglerazor123:
It isn't a daily driver! So stay away! Till stable ICS cums out! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Is this only with you or everyone facing the problem? Because if I disable wits suggestion from settings I don't see any suggestions top of the keyboard.
[Galaxy S II General] jasraja:
Yea cannot agree more on it. I was able to book a railway ticket on irctc with a 2G connection on my phone while I was travelling. I don't think it would have been possible with any other browser.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I am on stock KF3 and I am actually very happy with it. Rock solid, and get about 2 days battery life easy. Everything /apps all work well. So I really have not bothered too much about 2.3.4/5/6.

Is it really worth updating to KL1 which is there on Kies? Or should I just wait a month or so and update directly to ICS? Or is ICS going to take till March (when sammy say Jan?)

Some negative feedback like silent icon, etc. is there for stock KL1.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
If you have observed if the' vibrate always on' is not selected under settings(that is when the icon disappears) then the phone will not vibrate during incoming call and message. So if vibration is needed 'vibrate always on' is to be selected. But then that would take one more space in the status bar and I would like to keep the status bar as empty as possible :p so for me at least its a nuisance really. So disabled the icon on JKay settings.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
No one can say when Sammy will proviede update.And like you said you heard some negative feedback for 2.3.6 based ROMs like vibrate icon and all there are also lots of positive feedback.As a thumb rule the latest version is 9 out of 10 times faster and stable than the previous build.So i would suggest you to update your device.
[Galaxy S II General] eaglerazor123:
KF3 is too old ;).Use KK5 or KL3! KL1 is Dev firmware! And Most Important thing is dont get confused by reading all posts,Confusion makes mistakes! :)

Sammobile just tweeted , Better then KP1 or KP2 begin 2012.

Looks like, We are close to CM9 Beta ... :P
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
When was XWKL1 a dev ROM?

Edit

----

Got you.U meant XXKL1 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
The Silent Icon is not a negative feedback, all along since we were seeing the sound icon back-lite I feel it took time to understand what was happening. I believe its more of a bug that has got fixed with the latest firmware. I also felt KL1 faster than KF3..

Moreover you can never speculate on ICS schedule!
[Galaxy S II General] dilpal:
I have noticed that in 2.3.6 the video player plays video in portrait mode with auto rotation turned off. Is there any way to make it landscpae mode? I do not want to enable auto rotation .

KF3>>KL1>>CheckROM(Awesome!!!)

I was on KF3, so i updated my phone to KL1 via KIES, without any wipe.

I felt the phone had become very laggy, so i flashED the checkrom with siyah kernel. Believe me, i have never seen my phone work so fast. No lags at all.

I am glad that i flashed checkrom.

So, can anyone tell is there any major difference, in respect of UI, b/w KL1 and KK5????
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
This app has so many features! Thank you for sharing. Regarding disable boot for apps, is it okay to block all those user apps in the list from opening during startup? Because the Gemini app is giving a warning

Also why do apps need to auto run when they have no business at all? For example glu games like blood and glory or ck zombies. They even well be running in the background!
[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:
I can imagine your pain .... the culprit in my phone is Yahoo msngr & CK zombies

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Are yaar just root it. I can't find a single point to not root ;)

Besides how can you bear stock kernel when some great ones are available?

PS- Anyone using Font Installer app, can you guys recommend me some good fonts? I've used Storopia and Styllo, they are great, but how about others? Really don't have time to test all 197 fonts, if anyone used/using any cool ones please mention here.

TIA.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I bumped up to this thread xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894397 of that I have tried Ubuntu and FuturaLTMedium. Its good for me. If you need I will post the apk here :) no need of font app for this.

But if you want app you can try Fontomizer SO from market. Well that too gives the apk link by the end :)

I flashed aosp a while back. Now, I'm sick of the battery. 27% remaining in 12 hr 15 min with 1.5 hr display time. And 12 min calls.

How is the Indian rom? Worth a flash?
[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:
well I don't see any point in rooting and putting and custom gingerbread rom. So once ICS roms comes out (hoping that CM9 will be stable and better than CM7), I will definetly go the root way :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well but rooting is not only for custom ROMs. You can try many things like CF 3D, backups, customize the looks, give special effects and also block startup apps :p hehe.. I like how JKay deluxe app lets you to customize the notification areas and such.
[Galaxy S II General] sids911:
No, I am not rooted, and cannot root it since its a company paid device!

Am I the only one facing this from Indian KL1? :p

Flashed KL1 using Mobile Odin Pro using Ever root option

CWM Recovery gone and Busybox is not installed by Mobile Odin

Flashed CF 5.0 KL1 kernel from chainfire thread

This is time Both CMW manger and Super user app came in first page,is it just me or everyone got there cmw manager and super user app in first page?

Another method to flash this firmware using CMW Manager with CF 5.0 and above,it keeps CF root and busybox and superuser.

Did a nandorid restore

and again flashed KL1 WITH mobile odin with Everroot option and Selecting	CF-Root-SGS2_XW_INU_KL1-v5.0-CWM5.zip kernel in kernel section, So i used both firmware file and kernel in same flash. Reboot struck at samsung s2 logo for about 3-4 min, got impatient and switched off and Again switched on the phone, My heart was in my mouth till it rebooted .Thank god it was fine and everything went well and now CMW and Superuser are not in first page of app drawer!!!

Guys i have updated to KL1. I used to face frequent 'call not connecting' errors on KF3 and on all other stock roms. I don't know what is wrong but i have faced this problem on nearly every rom except the GingerMOD and MIUI.

The GingerMOD had KI1 as baseband.

My Case Mate Barely There case has finally split open after dropping my phone for the third time (lasted only 6 months).

I went through the accessories forum and seems like Case Mate Pop / Otterbox Commuter are the best for protection but they are expensive and not available in India (unless you count GEB on eBay).

Over on Flipkart Amzer and Capdase are available but Amzer has bad reviews (covers the edge of the screen). Any reviews for Casdase Soft Jacket 2?

I'm looking for a slim case (available in India) which is stronger than Barely There and preferably costs less than 1k.

Hey I did mentioned about the stock ROM KL1 which I update through KIES, I believe the battery life is better (still to do a complete cycle) and also call quality. There where specific areas where there was a call drop but after the update I've never lost a call..

But when contacts are opened there is a considerable lag, its really pathetic and takes few secs before it opens; dnt know whats happening there. I've never seen such a lag in 2.3.3, but the other apps I feel is faster.

Very true, AOS bug is still there. I've seen more than 50% going into the OS process...
