[Galaxy S II General] PRATS228:
bhai how do you manage to get 2-3 days battery backup??
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Would prefer KI3 over KI8 I think - mostly because there is better support for KI3 and a lot of ROM cooks haven't shifted to KI8. KI3 seems to be the last firmware everyone has migrated to before waiting (impatiently, I must add ;) ) for ICS. I would recommend LeoMar's 2.7.1. It is a no wipe ROM.

As for CSC, you just need to flash the CSC, not the phone I believe.

Changing to this ROM did not have any effect on the APN/Network settings for me. And the Baseband KI3 gives me the best signal ever on the S2.

Any time dude.

I had heard about it so much that I was planning on flashing it first thing when I rooted :D you have made me think otherwise :D

That I know of not may of us here have KI8 although the regulars are already on KI3 and have also accepted that it has better battery life, is more stable and is smoother and faster than any other that we have used (Non-rooted ones mind you Ravi, Me, Emaze etc). Frankly i always give it 1-2 weeks before the ROM is fully dissected by XDA members on issues and pros before tryin it. :D Hope it helped although i think you might have already chosen the rom of your liking by now :D pretty much beats the point but in case you have'nt hope it helped.

Thanks for your replies guys.

I've decided to go for KI3 as it's more popular and probably more stable. But which one should I download, there is a Non Wipe package in Intratech's thread as Frankenstein™ Non-Wipe, is that the one? What is Frankenstein package?

Hi All,

Coming from Defy that had a locked bootloader and the flashing hence, was pretty easy (ala no risk of completely bricking your phone, no rom counter worries, flash any rom and use baseband switcher to come to Indian baseband) I am thoroughly confused..

I need help with how can to install KI3/KI8 firmware and leave everything (CSC, Baseband) untouched. Also, will the flashing increase the ROM counter?

Also, this would be the rom until Samsung release a ICS for India.

Please help the no-ob...

Just when I was thinking KF3 is a stable ROM which is working fine, I start getting this error (Force Close) message whenever I try to add a New Contact from my Calls Log screen. This error comes when I tap on "Create Contact" button:

The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

How to solve this problem? Also, I am tired of waiting for a Firmware update from Kies. Should I go for Intratech's non-wipe XXKI3 with Indian CSC of India KF3?
[Galaxy S II General] micrographics:
For some reasons I was forced to re-install Stock ROM and after that when I attempted to re-install Applications from Android Market, it says Application already installed and not allowing me to reinstall.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Installed XXKI3. Well browser is fast, still no option for Full screen browsing. Swype has upgraded to version 3.8. The screen shots are now in .PNG format instead of .JPEG. One crazy thing happened. when I Backed up my data by Nandroid and then restored it the whole 2.3.3 system got restored!

Usually Kies is giving the funny message that I am running a Non Official version. I'll check here if there is any upgrade comes for India.

It's a SHAME that we have to use other region ROM's. Frankly this is my LAST Samsung. The only reason to buy Sammy for me was S-AMOLED screen, now as other brands are providing it it's meaningless for me to stick with a brand has pathetic customer support.

I've also cooked a Simple battery mod from UOT. It's just the plain circle battery mod, uploading it, if anyone is interested.

To put it in simple words B2G is web based mobile platform and hence it uses HTML 5 , javascripts etc..

All in all bigger picture is entire show will be run on a browser, and hence every app is web based app coded in html/java scripts

for eg: Dilaer/sms/contacts apps all of of them are made out of htmls/javascripts css etc.

There will be apps which can be run directly from web and also you can download apps which can sit on B2G AFAIK.

There are literally options in B2G where you can go and see the source code of apps just like you can see source in a web browser :)

check out the screen shots in this link - You can notice every thing runs inside browser

http://www.webmonkey.com/2012/02/first-look-mozillas-boot2gecko-mobile-platform-and-gaia-ui/

There is full screen modes where in you will not see address bar! smart..

If you ever read about chrome os or used it you can imagine B2G as chromeos of mobile.

Chrome os is optimized for chromebook/notebooks while B2G is focused more towards smart phones.

Hope that explains what it means by HTML 5 and web based.

Does this B2G os has native Indian language support?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

I didn't even reset agps data, it started working straight away.

Ya , its better to have file manager in cwm package, will be handy when making full wipe

I'm kinda getting used to things by reading a lot of stuff on XDA.

I've flashed stock ROMs only till now through ODIN. I'm on LP7 (Serbia) ICS now.

I want to flash hydrog3n ICS.

Please correct me if the following steps are wrong:

1. Get root access through CF-Root

2. Take an EFS backup with EFS Pro v1.4.7 on dekstop

3. Download Titanium Backup Root from market & backup all app+data

4. Flash Hydrog3n ICS as described in the instructions (through CWM)

Is that correct? Please guide me. This is the first time.

Do I need to flash a secure kernel like Siyah coz I read that CF-root is not secure?

Please guide.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
@ravi- Just use the built in Personal diary man. Or use an additional app from Market. Do inform me if you've found a better one.

@bala- Happy journey :)

Our lead to top is now just two points, City thrashed Norwich :(

@all- Can you guys please check that if the Accuweather app from Market works in ICS or not? In mine it isn't working!
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
You dont have to be on siyah for flashing the hyderogen rom.Just follow the steps in hyderogen rom thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yes looks proper. But make sure you flash the proper Cf-Root kernel.

No need of siyah. You can flash siyah later when you are, comfortable with the hydrogen ROM.

Also I if you want to know I took EFS backup with this method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068193.

Also after taking titanium backup take a nandroid backup through CWM just in case you want to revert back.

Well that's it and you are good to go.

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well there can't be a so called patch for GPS actually. It all depends on the GPS strengths of your cell, positioning of satellites, and need to access the appropriate servers. An edited build.prop can't/shouldn't be called as A patch. What might be giving you a lock in 10 seconds today, will be 10 minuets tomorrow :cool:

Anyway, sharing that build.prop once again.

Yea, they did :( Tensed about tomorrows match!

Yes, there is a accuweather app in Market. Just search by name, it will appear.

Built in apps? Don't know!

But you can try My Tracks or Endomondo. They both are from Top Developers ;)

Guys I wanted to ask this many days before. Where is the clipboard in CM9! It was there is samsung stock ROM and I loved it.

But why not show them?

I understand your problem. The options are so very confusing. The heading says "Keep Wifi on during sleep" and the options are always, when plugged in, never (increase data usage)

So it has two interpretations:

1. If I keep it as never then it means wifi will never be on during sleep

2. For never option there it's says increase data usage. So we can say that never will actually don't let the wifi to switch off when it goes to sleep and hence high data usage.

Man. I will go for option 2. That feels better now.

[Galaxy S II General] emze:
it is quite simple actually.

when you set the option to

1. Always, it means, the wifi WILL BE KEPT LIVE/ACTIVE during deep sleep.

2. Plugged in, when the phone is NOT charging, the wifi will be TURNED OFF.

3. NEVER indicates, the wifi will be turned off as soon as the phone goes into sleep. and if you have an active mobile data plan 3G or 2G, you will be charged accordingly.

it is as simple as that. there are no two interpretations to it.

The thing is that in my mom's Sony Ericsson Live messages were not going and when asked with network operator CC they told that 200 messages already sent! :eek: where as mom had sent only 10 messages max. And around 60 rupee or so was deducted as 60 paisa per message for 100 message.

Is the operator in mistake or is it so that some stupid app sent the messages unknowingly? I saw the sent items and there were only few and not 200! I even looked at lookout ad detector and nothing was classified under SMS or call category.
