How is the battery life?

I am on CyanogenMOD X and it is draining my battery like anything... read in the forum that it has some media scan issues.. have to install "Rescan Media Root" and disable media scan. Doing this i am not able to play audio from Jetaudio, (it shows opening USB and stucks there if i disable the Media scan),

So my question is does this ROM has the similar issue?

I have just installed it.. let me check till tomorrow. I will give review.
[Galaxy S II General] riazsgs2:
sahibunlimited, I thought AOSP is the Google's Source Code and adding some tweaks to AOSP is a AOKP, and CyanogenMOD is a AOKP!!!:confused::confused:

In your terms, AOSP is a BAAP and AOKP/CyanogenMOD/(Any other ROM) is BETA.:):)

Correct me if i am wrong!!!:cool::cool::cool:

Hi,

Can anyone help me with a custom rom on the S2, that would be a good daily driver ? I'm new and confused with the abundance of roms. I need a rom that's stable with a good battery backup. I use my phone majorly for calls, texts, light browsing over WiFi, watching YouTube videos, emails and medium gaming.

I'm on the rooted stock rom right now, which seems great, and haven't faced any issues at all.

Just wanted to know what better options are available ? Id prefer a rom that is bug-less and doesn't crash.

Which rom do you guys recommend for my usage and stability ?
[Galaxy S II General] Rjev07:
Good that you are rooted ......for Me root box rom v1.7 (ics)from bajee has been amazing for daily usage.Give it a try.You can find this in android development thread.

Happy flashing.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
What you are saying is true but for SGS2 cyanogenmod based rom is first made by team hacksung so anyone who builds a AOSP or AOKP ROM, it will be based on team hacksung's work to make everything working as it is working in team hacksung's CM ROM so in that term I was saying BAAP and BETA
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Listen. Do something like this and report back.

1. Install rescan media root and disable media scanner from there.

2. Now installation Fx File explorer from market and go to the folder/sdcard where your media is and there tap on tools and choose "rescan media"

4. Works? Yes? Enjoy. No? Chuck jet audio and choose something else or wait till media scanner is fixed.

+1

Okay it goes like this. Google Source (also called by AOSP) - then CM9 - then AOSP and AOKP.

Now there is a AOSP after CM9, this means the few of the devs create a nexus kind of feeling ROM for a PARTICULAR device but with the help of CM9. Same goes with AOKP.

Google Source codes are like vegetables that are not cooked. They are universal sources. You cannot put it directly to a device. So CM9 comes and complies (cooks) and adds tweaks and makes device specific builds (dishes). Then other devs take those builds and tweak it a little further and make their AOSP or AOKP.

CM9 is CM9 and not AOSP or AOKP.

AOSP = Android Open Source Project.

AOKP = Android open Kang Project
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
AOSP is the stock android which Google releases.

AOKP/CM9 both add some features on top of AOSP and release it

In case of Samsung phones currently only teamhacksung has devs with experience and capability to get hardware working with AOSP.They

write the drivers/wrappers for our phones which enable AOSP to run.They are also part of CM and maintain CM for Samsung phones.So unless teamhacksung does it's work neither CM9/AOSP or AOKP can run on our phone.

Hey Guys,

I see many of the regulars are offline but what the heck. I'm having weird issues. I'm on CMX 20120805 build downloading 06. Now the google apps din install the Maps APK. I unzipped and found there is no Maps.apk in it. Second i'm unable to either update YouTube or download Maps from the market. I had the battery issue but installed ReScan Media Root and also removed the widgets from my home screen. Helped alot. It would really help if someone could provide a Maps zip for JB.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Maps hasn't been in gapps for a long time & so has YouTube. You shouldn't have any issue with downloading or updating both the apps as they are available in India & I don't have any issues downloading or updating them. Have you changed your DPI? If so then return to stock DPI. If not then see if you have the data of the app left in the /data folder & delete them, reboot & then try downloading again.

[Galaxy S II General] exynoss:
LOL......I will buy sgs2 very soon again and then join this gang again :D

I am planning to sell HOX with profit margin :p . I bought 2 months old HOX @25k. I used it for 10 days now selling it. I just got few offers 26k , 25.5K , 26.5K.

Currently searching for sgs2 white @18k or max 19K.

Had to redo everything from scratch :p also it removed a few apps eg. root explorer ..... the builds are buggy no doubt had the launcher crash 2wice yesterday .........
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
ah, profit margin! Smart buoooooooy :p

What all things you liked in HOX apart from huge screen?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
ROLF! You went from an excellent device to an average device & now your coming back & that too with a profit. Looks like this lesson didn't cost you money but made you money. All those passionate arguments in support of the hox v/s the s3 was just a hoax (pun intended) because you brought the device. Will have to see now what bala_gamer has to say:p

Google services framework. It's a system app. Since CM10 is an experimental build you need to expect such things & although they say that wipes are not required if you just upgrade if your facing issues a full wipes normally solve everything.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Hmmm yeah a wipe almost always solves everything ..... golden flashers rule ....... this is my first CM though i've tried AOKP roms before ICS ones ...... i guess if this is the base ROM for most of the ROMs out there why not stick to it and they update it so frequently with lotta support cause lot of fellow flashers use it too :)
[Galaxy S II General] exynoss:
If u have sgs2 more then 8 months then u are habitual of slim trim phones. Hox has little fat ass and sharp edges too.

I did not find anything great in HOX if u compare it with sgs2.

HOX 1800 mAH battery not performing well with a quad core processor and with huge 4.7" HD display.

Running CM9 latest build and Siyah 3.5.2

Sometimes, when the phone is in standby it fails to come on altogether. Pressing home or power button does not work. Only way to get it to work is to do a battery pull and power on the device.

Any reasons why this could happen?

P.S. - Any suggestions if one keeps changing Kernels frequently? Is there a way to clean up the remnant actions of the previous kernel before flashing the new one? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:

4. Price little over bugget

5. Because nexus not officially launched in India so I have doubt if something goes wrong with my phone then who gonna repair that??

Can anyone tell me whether factory reset will remove my root??And i have backed up my apps using titanium backup,can i transfer the backup folder to my pc and after factory rest transfer it back and restore??
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Nope.

Until you flash a whole new ROM or a Stock Kernel nothing will remove Root.

Bala answered it on last page :)

Make sure you are giving up on all the Samsung features, CM/MIUI will be a completely new experience.

And Yes, they have lot of bugs frankly :)
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@chetan_mohanty factory reset through cwm won't remove your root and it won't remove files on your internal memory(14gb). And taking titanium backup folder backup on pc is always a good choice just for to be sure..

Hey I followed your instruction. But seems all it did is to take me back to stock KF3. I do not see KJ3 anywhere in the "About Phone" menu.

Here's what I did:

My guess is it flashed KJ3 first and then overwritten it with KF3. Are we supposed to give full .tar as CSC?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I've never seen anything like that! You've flashed absolutely fine. No way a CSC could overwrite a ROM! What's *#1234# showing?

Flashed KJ3 with SpeedMod K2-18-test1.

Somehow I did not need the password you provided?!? What was that password for? extracting?

And do you by any chance happen to know what's the difference between KF3 and KJ1/2/3?

Only difference I noticed so far is cyan overscroll glow effect.

@chetan_mohanty switch off your mobile and then press volume up + home button + power button and your phone will boot on clockwork recovery mode and from there choose factory reset/wipe data kind of option.. And it will take care of it. And if you are flashing any new rom also remember to wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery status from cwm only..

@chetan_mohanty yes ofcorse factory reset will erase 2gb of system memory.. Not remaining 14 gb(to be precise 11.50 gb). Okay tell me some answers 1) on which rom are you? 2) how did you flashed that rom? 3) did you wiped your all data(factory reset) before flashing current rom?

Any ideas which one should i go with or if there is a better option which i have not found out till now. Thanks for the info.

[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@chetan_mohanty anytime bro. Btw if you try any new rom do a application and data backup through titanium backup and then do wipe data through cwm and wipe cache and stuff then flash any new rom through cwm(not through any application like rom manager etc.). It will avoid any conflicts with new rom, old data. And then you can restore through titanium backup.

Don't need to tell me about reasons to say on pure CM. I've been using that reason ever since nce I've rooted my phone & no other roms compare to it. If the akop team comes out with CM officially for the s2 then I may think of switching because even akop has very few improvements over CM.

I'm up & around xda a lot especially when I'm bored so when I was surfing through all the thread I found the comparison thread & went through it just for kicks.

Manoj971: you've got your kep remapping in CM now.

You can transfer stuff over wifi in wifi direct. Can't use tv out with any app because the function itself is completely broken & nothing except working on the code with do.
