Thanks .... will try .... actually 1-2 weeks now on Criskelo flashed it 3-4 days after CheckROM ....... :) I'll also give Omega and Wicked a Shot ...... deal is i'm at office and here we have a firewall where every fu@#$ thing is blocked so even to see the images posted by you guys i have to tapatalk. I checked and MIUI website .... and it opened .... so i downloaded all possible roms from there and tried them ....... the ICS one is pretty cool ...... but i find them very buggy ...... not the regular FCs but options missing here and there menu navigation a pain things like that ...... i guess the whole experince of the ROM is based on the launcher if there is a custom one installed rest of the things are almost same experience per se .... if you want themes you can try custom launchers on stock it's the same thing ..... i liked criskelo since tw 4.5 was a new experience for me :p ........ lets see i also have time crunch when i go home i have like 2 hrs to my self and then family time can't even update apps from market during that time ....

Hey tried 160. Its not that bad really. I just was wrong. Indeed everything looks siyah beautiful and crispy. I wanted to stay in 160 itself lol. But this gmail app looks like so beaten up. Its proper only 200+

I'm on 192 right now. Just how to determine which I good? Should I see through resolution at which it will be displayed? I just don't get it. 182 to 192 no big difference. And thank you lot for that link. The trick worked. No more angry face when in market :D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
how about using any proxy sites or https ? it might work

increase the font size via spare parts you sure will love 160

1350 is way too costly mate , isnt it? my bill is around 560(if i dont go beyond 2.5 gb :D) + monthly dload of 150+ gb.

i hacked my office pc's account to dload stuffs :D

gmail app looks good for me, did you try increasing the font size? atlast switched back to my fav 160 ;)

Guys, I am facing a weird wifi problem. Whenever I connect to a wifi (open), it gets stuck at "obtaining IP address", resets to"remembered"and goes to"obtaining IP address" again! Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
does this occurs on all wifi spots or on some particular wifi routers? i had this problem with my netgear router, have to configure the ipaddress,default gateway,subnetmask manually, it did the trick for me.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
I think that wifi outer has a problem..Switch off your router,take out all the wires and then again restart after 5 minutes.I usually do that. If that doesnt solve then factory reset :D
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
I think I'm having the problem on all routers. :(

This one is a public router :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
then try the manual configuration.

This one is a public router :p

lol!!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Oh ok...I thought that when I saw at&t on it

BTW where is ithehappy? Playing with 800?
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
I had tried factory reset once. Still having same problem. :(

Didn't have this problem with KF3. :(

I guess Hyderabad doesn't want me to use their wifi :p
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I have a Idea...Take a Hammer and break the router :p

160 looked really damn good! Its like a wow screen. But see the pic. Also the gallery won't load at times. The screen will be full black with "Gallery" text flashing on top right corner :(

Note the black spot top left below the notification bar but beside label?

You sure? Even for private router? He can't set the IP address too manually if he does not have the IP address in first place.

Usual stuck on IP address happens because if DCHP issues in router. DCHP is used when assigning the IP address automatically by the router.

[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Hey guys,

I have a Galaxy S2 and I rooted it via CFRoot 4.0

Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555

root@DELL101#2

Build number : GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

I have Rom Manager premium installed & tried to back up the current Rom using the Rom manager. it will boot into the Android system recover and this is what shows up on my phone:

-- Install from Package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

verifying update package...

E:faield to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

with that massage I dont think that I have my current Rom backed up any where...

does any one know how I can get passed this step??
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I dont know about rom manager, but you can take your rom backup with CWM. salect cwm>backup>ok
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
First, CF-ROOT's insecure kernel, which are u on now, doesn't works with ROM Manager.

Second, When u rooted, an app "cwm" must have been installed on ur phone.

Search it in app drawer, and use it to perform your current rom backup.

Third, its time to update now. 2.3.6 is available via KIES now.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Oh, so I guess my phone is okay :D

It doesn't need a hospital like me, lol! :P
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Thanx a ton for your reply . :)

I'm backing up my current ROM because i want to update to KL1 2.3.6 via ODIN .

So can you tell which kernel to flash if i have to get ROM manager to work .? I've bought it :(

Also , nandroid backup via cwm = nandroid backup via ROM manager .?? Are they the same .?

And i've backed upp all my stuff via Titanium backup .Apart from apps + data Does it backup sms , settings , screen layout , system apps etc automatically .?? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
You can try siyah kernel, or speedmod, but i don't know for sure, it may work with Rom Manager.

And, YES... nandroid backup via cwm = nandroid backup via Rom Manager.

But its better that, for now u backup via cwm app.

And, you can backup sms, system settings, etc vi "My Backup Root" app from market.

Why u need to backup system apps?? They will be automatically reinstalled, once u flash 2.3.6.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Whenever you see signature related error then you haven't flashed the zImage of your rooted kernel, flash it, error will be gone, simple.

How is NEAK kernel ?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh you in hospital now? Take care mate! Get well soon :)

Over one of the public router I wad getting same IP address error. So after adding manual IP it was okay. At my home I don't get the error at all.
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
I don't want to backup System apps . Only settings , screen layout , widget layout etc apart from user apps + data backup . Can that be done via Titanium backup .? Also , I've also taken backup via MyBackup Pro .

But just wanna know if Titanium takes backup of sms, system settings, etc or not .?:confused:

Also Does nAndroid backup also backup the video files on my phone as well .? And could you tell me the location of nAndroid backup .? Wanna backup it to my PC .

How to flash the zImage of my rooted kernel .?

I've got root via CF-Root 4.0 , and people say that this kernel does not work with ROM manager . Then , would flashing the zimage method make Rom manager work .? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Yes Titanium backup takes backup sms, system settings etc. But u have to backup them individually.

That is most green-colored items, in the backup/restore tab.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Yea. Thanx a ton! :)

And oh, tried with another wifi and it worked. I guess I can't use the hospital wifi then. :(

But the hospital wifi is blazing fast, gives download speeds of around 1Mbps :D
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Why so much of complication?

1. Nandroid backup (also called CWM backup) will backup the whole state of your phone. Just everything from that 2GB system partition you have. So its advised you do this backup even if you have done any kind of backup. That's because Nandroid backup is your last resort if all other backup fails.

2. Titanium backup too will backup all the system apps + user apps + data from both. That includes all kind of settings and stuffs. So suggest you take system + user app + data as to keep a copy of the all settings in the backup. Those settings you will find in the backup list in the titanium app which is coloured as GREEN. See pic below. Each green ones will have some usefully settings backup. When restoring apps via titanium, restore only user apps + data and then only those required green system backups.

If something goes wrong you will always have Nandroid backup.

About ROM manager plus, I haven't tried it as titanium back and Nandroid will take all the backup I need.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Hospital have a wifi? that too in Hyderabad for free :eek: .....Hospital name?
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
LOL..... you seem to be very interested in Free Wi-Fi!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
LOL yes....Before rooting...There was a open wifi near my home tried sooooooo much to get connected with it but failed Reason:long distance from router......Than rooted...Three main reasons for me to root is Wifi from laptop,Themes and custom roms (so I can try themes)

[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Even, my building is Completely wifi equipped. But it gives very slow speed. So, i have my own wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Okay . So if i select "Backup all user apps + System data " option in the batch menu in Titanium backup , will that backup everything incl . settings , sms , logs , user apps etc .??

And nAndroid backup does not take the backup for the user data like music , video files etc .?? And can you tell me the location of the nandroid backup file saved via the CWM .? Will have to backup it to my system before flashing another ROM . :)
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Yes, it will backup everything.

Nandroid backup does not takes backup of files stored on sd card, or external sd.

CWM backup folder is located at:-

internal sd card>>clockworkmod>>backup
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
1- Flash CF kernel normally via Odin.

2- Extract that kernel (.tar file) and you'll get the zImage, copy it to your phones SD card.

3- Flash back Stock kernel.

4- Flash that zImage via CWM which is already installed in your phone.

Done.

to people who are in need of multi dpi dialer, i have attached them in this post, these files are extracted from hyperdroid rom 5.

Tested and working with 160 dpi + XWKL1

1.Just copy those two files in the archive to system\app and replace the existing one.

2. you will get force close, dont worry, just reboot and now your dialer is multi dpi :)

http://www.mediafire.com/?1nqp81zj4w4ufan

Multi dpi music apk is also working from that rom.

if anyone tries this dialer apart from XWKL1, pls do a backup before using this.

[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
In step 3 wouldn't flashing back stock kernel remove my root .? :confused:

I thought flashing an insecure kernel only gives you root access .

And Since i have already flashed CF kernel before to root my device , do i need to redo step 1 again .?

Also is this flashing of zimage only necessary for making ROM manager to work or some other purpose as well .?

One thing though crossed my mind ...... will the ICS Stock for S2 have the new bootloader if yes then how will we reset counter with the jig if it does'nt work one we flash it via odin or update it via KIES over rooted KL1 Stock ?

[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
AFAIK a varient of S2 has NFC it's the I9100P released in korea i guess anyways once PPL start using Wifi Direct for data transfer NFC will be obsolete for atleat that purpose me and my friends exchanged the auto expo pics using that some 500 odd MB in less than 10 mins :) ..... NFC will prevail as an alternate to credit cards but it'll take a lotta time for them to capture the indian retail ...... so rest assured you can sit back and relaxed for atleast 1 year ..... :)

I am using Sony XBS in ear headphones and music is crystal clear.Bass is acceptable but not upto my expectations.

however, the volume still seems to be low when i use my Sony MDR V700 DJ headphones.

Im sure, we all will find a workaround for this as time flows by.

Rather i think,my DJ headphones need more sound outputing devices.But,to my strange notice, my very old 2006 released htc P3400i pumped out bass like heaven with these headphones.

i demand the Yamaha chip(P.S. correct me if im wrong) in our GS2 to do justice.

I am having a crazy problem!

I am on Vodafone, I was already using 3g.

I went to the Vodafone store to ask for 1GB free data. She said it would be activated by 24 hours.

Now the free 3g offer has not been applied. Will i get a message of some sort?

What is now happening is that while browsing the net, my account balance reduces as well as the 3G data limit for which i've already paid.... Rs. 375 for 500 MB!

Bottom line, unable to use data at all due to reduction in account balance!
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
This is a service provider issue.

You need to have a word with your service provider and get it solved.

i had a similar problem when i activated 3G on my GS2.i am on Airtel.

[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Vodafone scheme activates itself

I appreciate and accept the apologies of Sajad & Jhonny. ITheHappy & Style Icon have put it very sensibly. Let's move on.

Let me just inform all the users of Vodafone a good news. You do not have to visit the Vodafone store to activate the free 6 months 3G data. It will start automatically within 48 hours (maximum) after you insert your SIM card in your Galaxy S II phone. You will also get a confirmation sms from Vodafone that they have received your request for Samsung GS2 Offer and it will activate within 24 hours.

If you do not want your Phone Balance to reduce before the SGS2 Offer is activated then you can cut off your data network activity by using some app like APN droid.

As regards the firmware update, it is really annoying that an update has not come so far. We need improved battery life and Android 2.3.4 now. I think by 1st September it should come. Let's hope so.
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
Awesome news !!! shifting vodafone now.fedup of Airtel pricy plans.

I've used MTNL so far and it is excellent at some places and pathetic at others depending upon the proximity of their cell towers. At some places I get H (HSPA) signal and nearly 2 MBPS speeds and at some places only get E (Edge) with 50 Kbps! Have just inserted the Vodafone SIM card today and got the SMS from Vodafone in the evening saying my SGS2 Offer request has been received and will be activated within 24 hours. Am yet to use Vodafone so can't comment on their service yet. Hopefully after the Offer activates within the next 24 hours, then after using for a week or two I'll comment on their service. Cheers!

[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
In Mumbai, Vodafone gives you the best service by far - I tried Airtel before it and they don't even come close. I have friends who have shifted to Vodafone from DoCoMo, Aircel etc and are much happier with Vodafone.

As for 3G - It usually drains the battery to much as the modem is continuously searching for a 3G signal if you don't have one (the problem gets magnified when you are travelling). Plus the 2G/3G switch is a bit iffy because sometimes you might have 3 Bars on 3G and 4 bars on 2G, the modem usually chooses 2G whereas you might prefer 3G in that case. So whoever is using the 3G plan, best have a 2G/3G toggle on your home-screen.

Note: I last tried 3G on the KE7 modem and on a stock ROM, some ROMs modify settings for 3G/2G plus the newer modems are probably better at handling this.
