I have the same problem as ""chetan_mohanty "". Gallery stops working after trying to select a home screen or a lock screen wallpaper. The default launcher crashes and disappears some times. Google maps seem to be running in the backgroudn all the time.

ICS seem to look good but it also sucks
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Gallery Will not work if You have set Force GPU rendering from Developer Options. Check that. I am surprise why samsung did not used 4.0 Gallary App..hence thats much faster and better then GB One.

Download link for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X HD latest version?

Hi Bala, the USA Hollywood industry is cracking down on online piracy, so they have shut down Megaupload, Filesonic etc. Idiots!

Can you or anyone else here give me the download link for a WORKING LATEST VERSION OF Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X HD? Pls Note: It should be working on SGS II (GT-i9100)

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
I let go off to that ROM in 15 minutes..and that thing even changed my bootloader..cant reset using USB jig..

BTW guys anyone who has flashed ICS ROM and has reseted the counter using usb jig,can he/she tell me does flashing the intratech's old bootloader and then using the USB jig works?

Is there any precaution i need to take?

I mean i have to only flash the old bootloader on top of my CM9 build and then use the USB jig?right?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Flashing Old Bootloader via ODIN and Reseting works fine...even if you are on ICS ROM , You can do that. No Harm. Atleast it worked for me :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
They protecting themselves. If I want to use it for myself I will go ahead with dropbox!
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Normally you do it in bootloader section or PDA section ??I know both can be used..but whats preferable?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Bootloader would be fine. I always used Bootloader to flash it.
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Yes the bezel and the screen are one unit... Even the proximity sensor is in it if I am not wrong!

Had given my previous S2 to the Service Centre and they had scratched my back panel so I forced them to replace it and best thing was someone had forgotten a memory card inside... I went and returned it but I conclude that they rough use the customer's phone in the name of testing.

Though eventually things got even more messed up and I got a full refund from Samsung after 4months of use.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I am waiting for Chetan's result, coz not worked for me. Have to reflash the rom again

Don't no, it just stopped at sbl process in odin and never completed.

Reflashed the old GB rom again, then reseted counter
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Your Problem seems to be something else then ! I have managed to do it with ICS ROM as well. It works fine. Chetan : better you first try to use Bootloader section and try.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
ya ya..i will obviously try the easier way...that is flash bootloader ONLY :) I am 99.99% sure it will work..:D

Btwn what about Sense theme porting, do you started anything!

OHH Sense porting!!No no..tym shortage..BTW hey i searched for some themes that day you asked for..couldnt find a decent one.If you have some suggestions please gimme the link..
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
After thinking much, true sense porting is very hard task.

some devs ported it with third party launcher and third party widgets with modification, which is inferior.

The flip Clock and weather animation works only with sense framework.

I think it is waste of time as ur a busy Guy. Family, Job, GF!

anyways some links are here, I Like very much the Flip clock and its animation with sound.

Can somebody pls tell me what are these folders for..

No Problems so far

I have 2 Android devices.I have updated both of them to 2 official upgrades each via Kies.So far no problem at all.

Some Advice Regarding Kies:

1.Use Windows XP for trouble free Update[Win7 and Kies are Sworn enemies;););)]

2.Update ur Kies before doing FW update

3.Disconnect all External Hard Disks,USBs,Printers,..etc from ur computer before starting update

4.Have an Internet connection with atleast 1 MBPS speed as Kies is going to download atleast 400 MB data.

5.Do ur FW update during Off-peak hours as Samsung servers frequently get downed during peak hours

6.Usually it takes about 40 minutes for Kies update.Do not touch/use ur phone,the cable and computer for any other purpose[Not a Hard&Fast rule;Just advice]

Last one:If u do not want all these Headache,Read then Read and READ EVERYTHING about using Odin and then use it.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Same here. I learnt how to use odin and never looked at Kies again lol.

Guys a problem. Whenever the phone goes to deep sleep, even after I try to unlock the phone the display is not lighting up. So to test if it's switched off or not, I called my mobile and i could hear through call. And mute the call but display still off. The only way was to restart the phone by holding the power button for more than 10seconds. Why is this? :( Did nothing major with my mobile from many days. I'm facing the problem from today or yesterday evening :(
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
Well thats not true. The only reason Kies detects our phones is because it has the device drivers bundled for our phones. Which in fact, it also uses to detect which phone is connected. The drivers are just a small part of Kies. The rest of it is a non-functional, non-productive PC Suite that is redundant, laggy and it eats RAM. So its the drivers you need, not Kies itself. :D
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
If you flash clean theme wont face bootloop. means flash the theme without any mods installed!

[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
So if i have some mods installed (i have a phone mod and some widgets. Radio and kernel are stock), i should re-flash the Non-Wipe version of CheckROM and then flash ICS Domination 1.8?

About the active noise cancellation mic

Friends, Does anybody know when the secondary mic with active noise cancellation feature can be available to Indian GSII users??Its not that i need it urgently,but having the hardware but no option to use it in the software menu is kind of pointless !!!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I completely agree on this. Absolute non sense to not have a software option when hardware is there. Anyway I hope in the next firmware we definitely should have this minimal option.

Besides, the option is currently enable. I did a Factory Reset and the option was there for the first call then it just disappeared, but in that short time I figured that if you turn it off then there is a crossed mic signal shown in a call.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Yup i also have heard that after a reset it shows up for the first call only.What kind of software approach is this Samsung??

BTW @ithehappy is there any way i can know whether the option is currently enabled for me as well

If you don't see any cross symbol across a mic icon then it is Enabled. Actually I turned it off on that first call and saw that icon. But by default it is On.

I haven been on Litening Rom ever since I got the phone 10 weeks back. I rooted the phone the very next day I got the phone and enjoyed all the new leaked updates, tried various rom and settled with Litening.

One thing I noticed with leaked firmware meant for europe, the network of mobile service was weak, at home and work place it would show network not more than 1-2 bars. I assumed that GSII gives out a weak signal. And than I tried flashing CSC file meant for India and last file released through Kies was KF3, downloaded the file from Intratech's thread and flashed it through Odin. Immediately after rebooting the phone I have observed between network signal ( almost full 4 bars ), slight improvement with 3G too.

Now after flashing every new updates on the Rom I flash the CSC KF3 file and GSII works much better.

Wonder if anyone tried this ?
