Way better than last build, previous one was Alpha imo, this one you could call Beta, but you know Beta is NOT stable and final.

If you wanna see how Sammy is progressing with TW+ICS compilation then you might try it, but I am sure you have to come back to GB.

AppBoot isn't needed I guess, least I didn't care it.

Ok, I just flashed it, Touchscreen is smooth but little heavy i feel. Face unlock crashing during its setup, I think this is T/W issue.

But I will go with this because of good Indic support.

Thanks for the concern.

Hey anyone has the Tutorial for flashing the stock 2.3.6, Though i am ready now to flash i, i am a bi worried about the procedures... I got an excellent brief report but i would be grateful if i have something like a tutorial so that i can follow and do without any hassle.

I flashed KP8 using mobile odin pro,surprisingly it worked for me

It was rooted but su binary is not working

My findings

New books app is there

Face lock is not working

3g data,voice working fine

But 3g Data made my phone insanely hot and i have to switch off the data mode

New Data Usage feature is cool

No real Force Closes for my 2 hrs usage

Market is working fine,

3g data making phone really hot - This making me to force flash to KL1,otherwise for calls and sms its a daily rom,

Someone confirm wether its me or everyone is having problem of phone heating up with 3g data transfer

Have to flash KI3 and Root with Doomlord. Now intalling KL1 through Mobile Odin All this to avoid custom binary count to stay to zero,

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Impossible to say really, as each and every one has different taste.

I, for one always stays on Stock ROM's and with SpeedMod Kernel. I like my device to be simple and fast.

Mobile Odin: Just put the .tar file in SD card, open Odin, select Open File option, it will auto select the files (if there are more than one) at correct locations. If you have the Pro version then you probably know that selecting Everroot option will carry forward the root to your new upgraded ROM.

It's a hell of an app.

If you have any CWM folder in both root of internal and external SD card, trying deleting (with normal file explore (my files), dint want you to delete any system files!) and try again. Take backup of those folders before deleting just in case.

If you are lazy, then you can move the folder to external SD and then move it back to internal when you want to play :p

[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
CM9 ALL THE WAY.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thank you for the response. So just to reconfirm again, increase in volume only appears over headphones? I don't use headphones at all also it's quite loud over headphones really. Wanted it to have increased volume over loud speaker, especially watching movies.

Some say it's a kernel issues, some say it's that you need to try the external SD or you must choose internal SD card as option to choose the zip. Or is it because of CM9?

Oh @others I have CWM version 3.0 when I open the CWM from app drawer?? Why dint the ROM/kernel instal the v5?

I had installed CM9 enjoied it then flashed 2.3.6 then CF-ROOT then wiped/factory reseted from cwm recovery then booted after that rebooted into recovery and it says "E:Cant mount /sdcard/"

Then I would say it's a bug you witnessed. Because if you see the pic it's 0 seconds. So that means the data which is shown to you on the graph is only for 0 seconds, so the graph shows a straight line itself lol :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
If you have tried everything and if it's okay with you I might suggest trying factory reset. If you are not rooted you can take the apps backup with help of Astro File Manger or Gemini App manger.

This might be a known thing to you all, but just sharing along..

If you own a Galaxy S2 (doesn't matter where you buy it from - need not be from Samsung authorized outlet) and your mobile carrier is Vodafone, then you can get free 3G up to a limit of 1 GB per month for 6 months. To activate this, visit your nearest Vodafone store. No documentation is needed. The phone rep said he can't activate this over the phone.

This offer is valid till 31st August.

My update on the overheating issue...

Installed Clarus battery monitor...temperature range for my phone is usually between 27C-37C.

On running Real Football 2011 & playing one exhibition game...the area near the camera becomes appreciably hot & the heat can also be felt on the screen near the speaker area but temperature shown by the widget is around 34-37C which gradually decreases after i quit the game.

So my question is that is this faulty or normal?

I saw that on various other android forums that people have even gone to the extent of exchanging their SII for a new one due to this issue.But i really do not know whether this is a rational decision as it may be a software issue & the new one may also come with it.

Thus I am really confused on my further course of action...please advice.
[Galaxy S II General] Style Icon:
Are you sure about this scheme? Is this scheme valid only if you are a billed (postpaid) customer of Vodafone or even if you are a pre paid customer? Are you sure I have to pay nothing to them for six months for using upto 1GB per month even if I had purchased my phone from some other shop? Sounds too good to be true. There must be some catch. Pls double check.

New SGS 2 phones in India with 1 GHz dual core Orion Processors?

Recieved a promotional email from India Plaza today which was giving a discount offer on the SGS2, but what I found surprising in the mailer was that it mentioned in the features : 1GHz dual core Orion Processor

So this is why the price of SGS 2 has come down to 28,000 now? They have downgraded the processor from 1.2GHz to 1 Ghz now? Does this mean that those of us who bought in the first lot got lucky and got the 1.2 GHz Exynos chip with ARM cortex 9 processor? And now the poor latecomers are getting only 1Ghz?

Microsoft 6000 Bluetooth Keyboard works with SGS2!

Hi Everyone, just unboxed my SGS2 and also a new Microsoft 6000 series bluetooth keyboard, and i have managed to pair them successfuly.

I have not been able to use it a lot yet, but the pairing is functional, the arrow keys move the focus of the cursor, typing is fluid in Office app as well as sms (Except it seems to capitalize randomly) Backspace seems to work slow, but like i said i have not tested fully yet! the function keys also seem to respond and perform functions like Lock screen and others. The volume up down keys on the keyboard work just fine while playing music videos.

Yea, I do. Did I ever say that I don't like TW/Sammy ROM's? In these 7 months I have always stayed on stock ROM's. Only once I tried CM 7 or whatever it was and I learned my lesson. They still have bugs on GB based ROM's, so ICS..........

And KP8 is still beta, lets see what the final version will have.

TW 4 over ICS is not ! Thats where i dont like ICS version of Samsung. You will be surprised to see TW 5 on SGS III. I have seen this same with SGS I as well.

Its for sure, Personal Choice...but What I feel is, Samsung should at least think about What changes are there in OS. I would not like an ICS ROM which has Half Green and Half ICS Framework. e.g., All Google apps + third party apps based on ICS would be different. That's where i don't like TW.

samsung should release tw 4.5 or 5 for galaxy s2 and

touchwiz 6 for s3
[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:

However, I do wish they update TW for the next ICS based official ROM as the underlying OS is itself very different in looks from it's predecessor.
