Please recommend me a good anti-finger touch screen guard with minimal impact on clarity & visibility.

I had bought cheap anti finger print screen gaurd for my samsung omnia hd a while back and it was horrible..

I'd be okay with spending upto 1000 if its really worth it..

Hi,

Got new problem. I'm on XXKI4 non-rooted.

1.

i've attached screenshots about battery status.

Suddenly it's showing OS is consuming max power. But as far i monitored, i never saw this, it was always display or voice calls.

Recently i installed GO launcher (contacts, notification and weather). after installing this the first day battery was draining like crazy, but after 2 charge it was all okay (i didnt get it though). But at that time also i noticed android OS was in the 4th on the list. But after installing "Order n Chaos online" and downloading the cache via wifi its showing the current result.

Please advice me what can i do.

2. And how can i change the battery indicator other icons on status bar. Is it theme or rom that changes them??

3. please tell me more about custom rom. What can i do and get more from them, rather rooting.

thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
Nice. But my stock kernel had AOS usage at almost 50% all the time.

I hardly got 7-8 hours out of the phone with screen on time of about 2.5 hours.

It's been better with Siyah.

I am managing Display time of about 3.5 hours with standby of around 15-16 hours. Decent enough.

So you're saying ninephetamine kernel might give me better battery backup ?

Also, if you don't mind, can you elaborate a bit more on your usage ?

You are saying you get around 2+ days, right ?

Can you please break it down for me ? I might know what I am doing wrong from that.

My daily usage is like this -

Calls - 30-40 mins.

Facebook - 10 mins.

Twitter - 45 mins. Spread across the day for about 9-10 minutes each time.

Browsing - 10-15 mins.

Games - 10 mins.

Emails - 10 mins.

Music - 20 - 30 mins.

Wifi / 3g always on.

DoomLord's method is good cause it doesn't increase your download counter nor gives you any yellow triangles.

Root With DoomLord's method

Flash Siyah or any other kernel with CWM using DarkyROM2 tool from market

Done .. no Yellow triangle .. no custom binary counter increase

[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Darkmessiah, my post wasn't about you. It's about someone from Mumbai selling USB jigs. I totally dislike people who go back on their word.....and that too for something as small as a 500 bucks item! How cheap can people get. Just wanted to warn others. If you're buying any items online, make sure you are buying from a reputed vendor. Don't buy anything from unknown individuals selling randomly on forums like this, and certainly don't pay them anything in advance without seeing their goods.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
I wouldn't suggest you to buy from Letsbuy when you can buy it for 30K easily over the counter anywhere in the country. Why pay in advance and then wait for weeks for your phone to arrive at your door. And what if it arrives in a damaged condition or with incomplete accessories, then you will waste more time in communicating with the selling website. Letsbuy doesn't have a good reputation anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
I have the same one. Quality is top notch and it fits perfectly too.

BTW i did not order from this seller, I ordered from a Hong Kong based seller for just $0.99(Around 44 rupees).

Ordered it as a backup case, cos it was so cheap, and when I received it, I was surprised to see the quality. :p
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You are right They don't have a Good Reputation and CC team won't reply fast.I have Paid 1000/- rs on 4th and than paid rest amount on 6th and than got Mobile on 14th June around 1pm (I was keep spamming there FB so they sent fast.They sent 2 free items 1st with mobile than after 1-2 week(s) sent other 2)

Dear TheMegaStar,

I am definitely not the one you are referring to because I haven't spoken to you or anything.

Kindly edit the post to state the name of the vendor you were buying from and make things clearer. This way people know not to buy from him. I am from Mumbai and I sell USB jigs on ebay and on the forum for Rs 500.

All the customers I sold Jigs too are extremely happy and have shown it through their feedback on eBay.

Please do not hinder my sales because of your bad experience with someone else. Kindly co-operate

Thanking You,

Apologies if its a repost in this thread, I am using this for a past 2 days and i am liking this. It FC's just once, seems to be stable port.

ICS keyboard download link

http://www.mediafire.com/?9sttpdaa2te3fc5

Give it a shot, if you have not tried it yet.

cheers
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
It seems your apps are frequently syncing online like facebook, mail etc. Try increasing the update interval. Also disable GPS related things if you are not using it.

Regarding battery indicator, you can download it from "app and themes", if a mod is available for your stock rom, then you use it straight away, else you have to go for a custom rom which suits your customization taste.

And custom rom, its a modified version version of stock roms, with some nice customized look,animation and tweaks.

LCD Density changer

Thanks for letting us know about this app, Bala. But what I want to know is this...isn't the current resolution that we have on our SUPER AMOLED PLUS screens already in HD quality? I think the video screen resolution on our SGS II is already awesome and better quality than even iphone 4s, then what is the need to change it? Is there any significant improvement in setting the LCD density level to say 180 rather than the current 240?

As far as I am concerned, I am very happy with the current stock screen resolution that comes with KJ3 ROM. Watching movies is a joy on this phone as the picture is crystal clear and sharp.

[Galaxy S II General] sayem_unlimited:

Can you tell me where can i find mods for stock roms?

and i'll try uninstalling the apps to check if that make any difference.
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Download CheckROM, as stock rom is odexed ... and for some mods you need a de-odex firmware :)

CheckROM has a kitchen app, so you can download any mod you want :)

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
lcd density is not going to change your video playback resolution , its like getting higher resolution in you pc(like switching from 800x600 to 1920x1080),things will be smaller and crisp.

If you want to change your lcd density, use "blade buddy" from market. Change the values and you will feel the difference. ill post different screenshots for comparison later

Keep practicing dude. Once you get used with it there is no way back ;)

I am using it from Wave, it was some T9-Trace, but that was much better than Swype imho, the dictionary of Swype is way advanced, hence complicated, that's why you might have trouble to input simple words. My typing speed in Swype is becoming equal to my KB speed :D

You could also use TouchPal.

CWM Recovery

Hey Everyone..

Can anyone tell me, how do i install CWM Recovery, for taking nandroid backups.

I rooted via DoomLord's, because in CF-ROOT method, odin got stuck at "setup connection". So, i need a way to install cwm now.

Also, can anyone suggest me, y odin is getting stuck at "setup connection"????

Also, which firmware version i should use to update to 2.3.5, i have heard about KJ3?? is that good?Will it wipe my currenta data and apps?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
ithehappy? Help on this? :)
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
For CWM you need a Kernel with it ....... As arpan said before download DarkyROM tool to flash an insecure kernel from SD Card CF-Root is preferable it comes with busybox, CWM UI and Recovery .... and you won't get a yellow triangle since you rooted with DoomLord's method ...... After that flash as much as you can from SD Card without issues :D

KF3 is pretty good and the latest we have ....... try a different USB port for the odin thing ...... check all KIES processes are closed when you flash ........ check all drivers need be uninstall and re-install the drivers ....... that's about it
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:

Hi Guys,

Is it mandatory to have kies installed on ur PC for flashing via ODIN?? i have some prob with installing KIES...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@sathya

Kies is required to install the drivers for your s2 to get detected in the pc. If you have the separate driver package downloaded from net, then you can skip kies. Note that when you start odin , your mobile should get detected.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Thanks for the clarification. i thought it wasnt neccesary as anyway we are going to kill all the kies related processes before flashing.

Okay then I'm think of buying this. Any word of advise or as such because this will be my first online purchase :P

Hey thinking of buying this too.. But just a question.. How good are these OTG cables? I'm sure they are not a branded one right? In eBay I saw you something about paisa pay.. thats what you all people too use?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
yes all use paisapay only which is 100000% safer
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Personally they are ok ..... the deal is i had seen jigs sold as high as 450-500 so getting a OTG along with it was an OK deal for me ..... The finishing if you ask me is pretty gud ....... and the jig as well as the OTG packing are not flimsy at all ..... :) it's a gud buy if you ask me

Yeah paisa pay is pretty cool ...... also the reputation of the vendor is also a factor i use to judge whome to buy from any one with a rating with over 96% is fine for me........ :p

PMed you the link.. download it and install...
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thank you guys! U will go ahead with it. There is one last thing which I need. Its the case or a skin for my device. Which do you guys suggest? If its the matter of personal choice then I would like to have following things in it:

1. It should be black in colour.

2. It should be durable and be resistant to scratches if possible

3. Most importantly it should withstand day to day use! I'm emphaising this because, one of my friend got a case (he called it a skin) for a 700 bucks from a store. Its a black in colour and quite hard and ROCK is written on back bottom of it. So he was playing Asphalt 6 with the skin on and on that excitement, he slides the brake and his finger just swiped from the screen to the volume keys. And the thin layer above the volume key of that case just broke! I hope you get the picture. Its just a shame that giving 700 bucks and this happened to it.

4. Lastly which is important the camera should not get scratched, like to say when I keep it in pockets or keeping it on table. My other friend used a rubber kind flexible case and the camera is fully scratched. The device just fails to focus properly at times.

On other note, I take extreme care about my device since I have paid a lot for it! Rifht now using the leather pouch givien in box, just got bored of sliding and removing it all the time :P
