It seems samsung intentionally made galaxy nexus as less hardware gaint,so it can restrain people to swap for galaxy s2 or if some one want to choose between s2 and galaxy nexus

IMO galaxy nexus will get all android updates may it be 5.0 or 6.0 ,But samsung may not give to our beloved s2

samsung officially defending why it pissed off galaxy s from getting ics

is Google nexus is better phone than Galaxy S?????

Really a great crap explanation by samsung,
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
still watching tv? again the same :eek::eek:

@ coolbuddyin

It seems all the mobile manufacturers should provide android updates for their device for atleast 18 months. Galaxy s already had enough support jumping from eclair to froyo then gingerbread. Also the 18 months period is over for galaxy s, isnt it?

Apps to SD

I just flashed Criskelo 34.1 and everything is super smooth. Loving it so far. I just restored apps using titanium and I realized a lot of them had been restored to the SD card and not phone memory. I have never moved any app to SD so I don't understand why this is happening. Few of the apps that have miraculously moved to SD are: Aldiko, can knockdown, cordy, field runners, flick golf etc... Can someone tell me y this is happening? Also, should I leave them on SD or move them back to phone?

I am going for a refund then. Just help me one last time & give me some model numbers which I can check on the box before I buy. I want a 19100 without any yellow tint or dead pixel issues. Maybe in the production of October or later. The previous two were in September which had dead pixels. So please, some model numbers of 19100? :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
If some applications are big, it goes to sdcard. It was a bit weird for me in the beginning, but later i find it useful, apps like fifa12 ,hot pursuit which are bigger in size are better to be in sd card rather than rom, it saves space.

You can also move back the apps back to phone via android assistant or any other app

how is the look of criskelo? you like it?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Yo..I am open to all type of suggestions.infact i want u all to suggest me ideas..

Newayz the lag is normal.It is just the place where the 2nd set of frames start looping and even my other bootanimation had that,just no one noticed in the high number of frame changes per second.

And the Lion just moves its head in one direction,coz its a loop.If i was to keep the whole animation,then the bootanimation would itself been 157MB ..lol...
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Oh ok cool! so basically titanium takes the decision on it's own eh? Just that it's seems pretty random cuz an app like piano is tiny, why would that be moved to SD? Also I heard that apps running from SD run slower. How true is this?

Oh and criskelo is awesome. Seems to be super slick and smooth. Yet to flash some nice theme. :) Dunno y but it feels quicker than CheckROM for some reason. Do you feel this too?

Sorry but I have a couple more doubts:

Just tried to flash the 34.1 update through clock work but got an error and the installation was aborted. :(

Secondly, I use keis air a lot so can I flash the keis package I downloaded from kitchen pro, when I was using CheckROM?

Quick Question: What exactly is moved where when an app is moved to SD? Is it just the stuff in the data folder that is moved to the ext SD card? Pls explain, :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@radical

I dunno why some apps go to SD card. Yes I have always felt criskelo is much snappier. I haven't felt any speed difference between app in SD card and phone memory.
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Cool thanks. What about the error when I try to flash this UPDATE 34.1

Are you on 34 or 34.1?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well that will keep happening like a loop, you buy Note or Lumia, within six months S III will be announced, you buy S III, within next six months another one, and that goes on and on.........

I am currently on my 43rd cell, buying and changing in rapid time from 2003/04, before buying S II I just figured how much I spent on those 42 cell phones, all were so called smartphone, and in the past years you know what a cell like X1 or Bold or HD 2 did cost, and then taken an oath that I will keep this for 18 months at least..................
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
EDIT: Ok so I wiped both caches, updated to Siyah 2.6.1 and tried to flash the update 34.1 and it worked. However, 'Rom Version' in about phone section still says Criskelo v34 and not v34.1. How do I know for sure that I have updated?

[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Frankly it's appalling how lax and indifferent Samsung is being about customer service, but it is to be expected. A lot have of companies have started churning out a ridiculous number of products every year, leaving them overwhelmed by sheer volume of customers they need to cater to in terms of service. Frankly, looking at how cut-throat the tech industry is, companies don't want to provide unparalleled support for their products, for prolonged periods, because they really don't want people using, say a mobile phone, for more than a year or two at most. It's sad but true. Somewhere along the way things have got really messed up and we keep buying, in spite of the way we are treated by these companies, while they continue to hoard by the billions. Something needs to change, because this problem has no simple solution.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Im on 34, as 34.1 removes the rotate animation(though i can copy those two files again manually), so didnt change to 34.1

your download might have corrupted, did you check the md5 values?

Hello Everyone

Just got myself a Samsung Galaxy S2 and managed to get CF-Root Kernel running on it and CWM recovery 5.x

I am currently running CheckROM RevoHD V4 and when I check the battery stats, I see "Android System" and "Android OS" as too big culprits who have consumed 45% of battery together. Isn't the issue deemed to be fit ?

Wanted to get feedback on following ROMs with respect to battery life and performance

1. Insanity

2. GingerMod

3. VillainROM

-Sahil
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Don't know mate how to make sure to differentiate between the date of production units of S2. One thing is that the device having yellow tint is normal. Even I have it. i'm not bothered as what had to offer to me is much greater than the tint. But got to say that the yellow tint reduced after I installed custom roms and stuffs. About pixels I haven't looked for it really in my device. But it is indeed a manufacturing defect. I just wish you good luck that the next S2 will be prefect for you :) if you look for problems every device will have some :p just my thought on the table. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
May be the Android IS bug is also fixed by custom kernels? Try Siyah or speedmod :)

And I have used only CheckROM with Siyah. Getting buttery backup of 15+ hours with heavy usage mainly browsing with 3G.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Saw Note in Love2HateU.It's soooooo Big..If I brought it..It would have not fitted in my pocket for sure...But it got nice features like write something on the pic you took which GS2 don't have
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh then lag is kind of normal then. Lol 157 MB is too much for boot animation. But, you can loop in around with its head turning left and right? Left - roar - right - roar - loop. Will that increase the size yet highly? Because only the right loop looks like unfinished animation.

There is new fonts in ICS alpha 13, they are Lohit-Devnagari.ttf, Lohit-Bengali.ttf and Lohit-Tamil.ttf. These fonts displaying perfect Devnagari in ISC Alpha. However as you know ICS alpha is not yet daily usable so I extracted those fonts to use in 2.3.6.I pushed them into fonts directory, but unfortunately not working.

The fonts are true type. is there any compatibility issue? as I said with ICS alpha its superb to display.

Edit: yeah the fonts are there!! Installed those using font changer but still its of no use, it seems ICS renders the font differently (might be supporting complex scripts), so it should be working in ics only unless some changes are made to gingerbread font renderer :(

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I completely replaced stock fonts with ics and found in boot loop. I think its compatibility issue. The ICS build is very comlicated i suppose, no GB things workig with ICS and this example of fonts shows that even any ICS thing not compatible wit GB

Regarding Devnagari Font

guys... when i bought my sgs 2 .. It had an European firmware not the Indian one..

I bought it form tata croma..

thats why it did not have the indic language font support because it was customized for EU countries.

Did any one of you get Indian version of SGS II ??

If yes... did it have support for indic languages in the stock rom ?

do reply.. .thanks...

2. Non cf root method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Dude thanks so much for recommending Criskelo! I'm currently on 34.1 + Siyah 2.6.1 and my battery life is the best it's ever been. With light usage, browsing, and listening to music I am at 75% after 24hrs. Finally my phone is actually deep sleeping properly. :) The ROM also feels butter smooth and Siyah 2.6.1 is smooth even when I UC to 100 - 800 on Conservative. I would recommend this combo to everyone... Merry Christmas!!!

Oh and a quick question:

ICS Dom 1.7 is out and I really love how it looks and would like know if I can just go ahead and flash it as I am on Criskelo 34.1 with stock theme and no mods? Also, does ICS Domination affect battery life in anyway? I love my current setup but want the ICS look without losing battery life...

System ROM

Titanium backup shows that I have only 117Mb out of 528Mb of my System ROM free. Is this normal or is there a way to free up more space? Or does this have to do with the amount or space that my current ROM requires to function properly?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you mean v0.8? have just downloaded it for testing purpose, will give my feedback soon.

I dont think we can flash ics 1.7 on criskelo, as it has its own customization, have never tried that. give it a try after a nandroid backup and let me know what happens :)

As long as you have 100+ free in system rom, its not a problem. I have only 75+ after installing some fonts. You can free up some space by deleting unwanted or unused notification tones, ring tones.(Only if you need space)
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
You need not worry about it, as "/system" is where the ROM itself is stored, and has no relationship with application storage.

But, If you still want to free space from it, you will need to remove system apps (the ones that come like the ROM)

Or you can move into manage applications>> and click on each app and see if you can move into sd card.

BTW i have 58MB left..no problem with them.S2 manages ROM efficiently ;)

Download his v3 root zip. Check USB debugging your phone, connect to pc (windows), and run the file. Within 2 minutes your phone will be rooted, without a yellow triangle. For further kernel/rom/mod flashes, you can use DarkyRom tool from market.
