[Galaxy S II General] MorRoquen:
I've owned the S II since July 2011, and have had a blast with this phone.

Just wanted to let you guys know - the best ROM out there right now, especially for us users in India is CheckROM 3.1.1

I've used many ROMs in the past, (most recently was stable on DarkyROM) and while all of them have been good, I'm very happy with CheckROM. The kitchen app is awesome, the ROMs battery life is very good, benchmark scores have been above average. I'm on the stock kernel.

Just remember to completely wipe your phone before installing it. This is the thread to get it from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312240

I'm now waiting for the JKay 13.1 update in the kitchen and version 1.5 of the ICS domination theme :-)

Best Battery Backup

Can you suggest the stock ROM with best battery backup for Indian user.
[Galaxy S II General] MorRoquen:
Stock KJ3 is pretty good. But a custom ROM will have lots of useful tweaks and optimizations that will make you even happier with your phone :-)

for example: I used to run DarkyROM, and got about 40+ hours of battery life.

I'm currently running CheckRom 3.1.1 with the CF kernel. 49-50 hours battery life on average with email/3g on constantly and approximately 4-5 calls a day and lots of screen time. No juice defender/other "battery saving" app installed.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Ya dude, coentje messed things last night by leaking the latest build with his own fingerprint and not even crediting other devs.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

[Galaxy S II General] MorRoquen:
The stock kernel that came with the ROM. CF-Root 4.4

I've had issues with Siyah and Speedmod in the past on other ROMs so didn't bother replacing the kernel.

I agree, I've seen some people complain about not-so-great battery life. Are you running the ICS theme? I'm on the stock theme.

Here's my current battery level (slightly more than moderate usage for me this time):
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I have been using it from past one month really. Not a problem at all. Google it or just send a PM :)

Edit: Is it okay to give super user permsission to widget locker? I'm giving it because of home screen option. Tried enabling the home screen fix without root and like it said the Widgets in home screen was not prioritized so they will re draw itself when in unlocking the screen. You know like it happens when you clear the RAM. thus is related only to WL.

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yea, absolutely ok. You've to enable Home Helper and select WL as default launcher to block the home button, if you don't know already.

I am back on using ATK.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I did enable the Home Helper and also selected the default launcher as WL, but the problem I'm facing is where the home screen Widgets will just refresh itself when unlocking or going to home screen from other apps. The WL did warn about it though. This refreshing happened when I used Root Helper too. So is it always like that?

What can be done with ATK for lock screen?

Vodafone service today in Mumbai, getting E (Edge)

Hi,

I am using Vodafone's free 1 GB for six months offer and the 4th month started today. In the morning I was getting H+ signal for a couple of hours. But after that all day I have got only E signal wherever I went in Mumbai. Are other Vodafone users also having problem in getting H+ signal today? Is Vodafone service down?

Need urgent help :(

I recharged today my pre paid idea using www.freerecharge.in .. it does recharge ur number. But just so very stupidly when typing the number to be recharged I input the wrong digit. The middle two digits got inter changed :( that other person received the recharge.. so I tried calling and it was some lady who started playing around.. I called her again but my call is being getting forwarded!

Later I put a complaint in that site.. they told to contact the network operator and gave me the transaction ID

So I called the customer care now and they told since I have not used an retail outlet but an online means they cannot revert the transaction :(

So I told the same thing over that site and they yet to reply. Feels like I just lost this money..

I know I should have checked the number a 100 times before approving the payment!!

Please can anyone give some suggestions?

Molife fit to use case looks gorgeous. Even though it does not cover the top half and bottom half completely, the matte surface is very convenient to hold and gives the look/feel of an iPhone 4. I had mine from Letsbuy

If you are interested in trying out the released in the wild official Samsung firmware ,please upgrade to XK2 which runs on Android 2.3.4. My first feeling is that, the new firmware does manage battery better
[Galaxy S II General] gr8member:
I don't seem to have a issue. Btw, the new firmware KG2(released in wild) has a noise cancellation option as well. May be it is the network or the environment to blame

[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Thanks for the free publicity mate :)

What you wanted was 2 USB Jigs (worth 500 bucks each on ebay right now) in exchange for a case that was worth 700 bucks which I would never use anyway. Did not like the deal. Did not want to do it. But yes, probably should have picked up the phone. Sorry for that.

At 1 am in the night I just texted you - you had all day on the next day for replying, but you chose to actually call me at 1 am.

As for online payment, I never asked for one, good advise anyway.

I work 5 days a week and value my weekends a lot, saw no point in pursuing a deal for such a small item when the other user was not willing to commit on a price and would say stuff like "It can be made for Rs 2". I thought we had very different perceptions about the price of the product and decided not to pursue a low probability deal and spend the last work-free hours on the weekend the way I wanted to.

Finally, I will probably be selling this to another user on XDA in the same city this Sunday who can probably verify the truth of this - if we care enough about proving this of course

Moral of the story: Well, nothing really

@other users: sorry for this, but I was the one accused on a public forum
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
As such, 2.3.4 has not been officially released for this device.

However, If you head to the development section of the Galaxy S2 forums on this community, you can see a number of ROMs running 2.3.4.

If I had to recommend something, VillainROM and Litening ROM are stable and have a good following too.

CM7 is in development right now and have the first nightly up which is functional, but not perfect yet. Use it only if you want to experiment with Android.
[Galaxy S II General] anil190185:
I already ordered it from there for Rs 27050 :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
But I don't want to root my mobile till the warranty is over
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
ah, so you must wait for Samsung to officially release the update for this device. The other ROMs I mentioned are based on a leaked version of 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
1. The Jigs you are selling are USED, even if for one month as you claim.

2. No Deal was made on the phone. I kept saying we will make a deal on the spot after both examine each other's products. I even said I'll buy you coffee when we meet. If you were not okay with this, why did you make an appointment to meet? And you fixed a time to meet, not once, but TWICE! You cancelled the appointment TWICE. And did not even bother to pick up the phone the second time. That is a clear indication of your class and upbringing.

3. You messaged me first at 1 AM to haggle about the price. I did not have the time or the energy at that time of the night to type texts back and forth, which is what you were essentially doing, so I called you to finish the matter then and there without having to type endless messages back and forth.

4. If you read backdated messages on this forum, someone from India actually posted this message here that they made a USB Jig themselves and it cost them just Rs. 2. All it takes to make a USB jig is a USB pin and 301K resistence. If not Rs. 2, then the actual cost of making a USB jig is not more than Rs. 20.

5. What is obvious now is that you cancelled the appointment twice just because you wanted to sell your USB jig without having it examined. You might have had another enquirer after speaking to me, and you thought maybe you can get a better price from him. Well, Good luck! :rolleyes:

I heard MW3 is just not awesome...similar to MW2 supposedly!!!

BF3 is woooow for gameplay as well as GFX !!! 1080p with highest GFX settings on my custom RIG :D

Not sure to play RUN or not.. Never liked NFS after MW days...

Revelations, Noire are what i'm waiting now!!!

Arkham City got an amazing 96 @ metacritic :O

Can't choose which to buy but!!! :( MW3 or BF3 ?? Got mixed reviews about O/L gameplay!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well BF3 will win the race undoubtedly against MW 3 this time. It was MW, or I should say COD series was always my favorite. World at War was an epic game. MW 2 was very good too. This MW 3 is some embarrassment IMO. Graphics, Surrounding audio sync, Story and also Gameplay, they all are solid in BF 3. It's a clean an clear winner :)
