HTC One X speaker sound is like its always on mute...enjoy!!

@manoj rather go for the nexus!!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Finally some one :highfive: :highfive: ........I was thinking why no one said it
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
HOX Very bad screen issues too!!
[Galaxy S II General] KristianKenneth:
I mean it is important to have the same firmware version as to the custom ROM I am about to install or it doesn't matter. for example the OP says "this custom rom is based from ____" and then I have a different firmware version. Does it matter to have matching firmware or I can just flash right away? I have succesfully rooted my phone by flashing siyah kernel through odin.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
So I dont need to download that 1.4GB everytime right? just some 10-12mb from market when ever A7 gets update (if they didn't change the sd card data)........waiting for ankit to post pics of the rom he using (I asked him for Phablet UI in that rom...forgot rom name ....OOPS) .....I might flash today night or tomorrow once back from college
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
Custom roms can be flashed whatever firmware you are on, flash it using recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It doesn't matter
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
if you felt it that way, please dont compare it with s2 or s3 ever... once you compare it you will see the difference. i have compared my s3 with hox personally. hox screen is a defenite improvement in colors whrn compared to other lcds but nowhere near to LED at colors and black levels.

why not go for nexus?!
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
In that 1.4 GB their is some 5-10MB app and rest is sdcard data so if the app gets updated then that 5-10mb app has to be downloaded but if new features and cars are added then some amount of SD data should also be downloaded, can be any amount 5mb, 500mb or 1000mb its upon them
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
oh Cool Thanks paaji ;)
[Galaxy S II General] KristianKenneth:
Thanks for clarifying. The reason I am asking is because I tried to flash VK ROM twice now and I am not successful to boot the phone. I am stuck with GT-I9100 screen. but I can restore using ODIN to stock. I did full wipe, re installed the the ROM in CWM and it didn't help. I am on Siyah kernel 3
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Have you followed all the steps Dev wrote in the thread?...maybe the file you download had some problem/got corrupted...download again or try another rom

Flashing cm10 tonight from LPG

any suggestions note worthy..

I took a long holiday from firmware,when i got back i just seeing This brickbug thing everywhere,and to my worries my chip is having BUg when checked with gotbrickbug app

so cm10 wont brick ..right??
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
Nothing from CyanogenMod comes with that nice feature - brick bug aka mmc_cap erase
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
btw i'm cf root

should i flash cwm recovery thats mentioned cm10 before flashing cm10???

OH my god so many doubts...!!!!

forgive my reborn noobness
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
Make sure you are on CWM 5.5.0.4

AFAIK CF root comes with CWM 5.5.0.4 if its the LPG one
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Hey CB.........I'm also gonna flash it..Today or tomorrow....after almost 2 months of complete Stock (no root nothing).............suggestions: BACK UP! of emmc (wait ....was that emmc?..........Oops it's EFS.........DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lost my complete knowledge about rooting and everything)..EFS*.........CM never had that bug

Time to get back on Track!...............Posts getting deleted?.......I think this post was in new page but moved to this page

@idareyoutoclickthis Take backup of EFS!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Hey ravi

I'm also on stock+s3 launcher
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
This is cmw 5.5

So no need to flash cwm again??
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
No need to flash again
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
No you dont need the latest recovery.I was on Root box rom which comes with same 5.5 version.Just follow this steps

-Copy GApps and CM10 ZIPs to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM10 zip from internal SDCard

- Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard

- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)

- Reboot
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You're not on stock bro...your mobile is rooted.........well you can say stock rooted FW :p
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
my recovery is 5.5.0.4

so one part is fine

steps for me

Titanium backup = 15 min

flash cm10 = 2 min

flash gapp =2 min

do a wipe =10sec

roboot to (pre)view JB 4.1.1 == ?????
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Mine will take around 30 mins :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
if thats the definition of stock,:confused: so you arent rooted for two months

I cant believe it though .???
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Yup the simplest way to flash a rom.
[Galaxy S II General] KristianKenneth:
Yes I read about EFS somewhere. Funny how we don't have much problem on this in Xperia phone. I used X10 and ARC S. Does the Kernel Companion tool by Hellcat still work? or I need to do the painstaking terminal commands? After backup where should I copy the backup file? in extern SD or Internal SD?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Ya Completely stock.....not even a app which need root (other than launchers,BBS) :rolleyes: :D :cyclops:

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

you flashed siyah so it makes a auto back of EFS also just like Auto root....try GSII repair.........I made 4-5 backups :silly: .........anywhere it doesn't matter ....In a safe place
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
that really strange for a recognized contributor of xda

Could you please explain what exactly is this screen issue with SpeedMod kernel? What all does it affect?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
call statistics

Hey guys,

Any ideas where i can view the call statistics in the gs2. I have not been able to find it even though in the most basic phones it is available. If not available, any apps for the same.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Modified Colour saturation, altered DNIE settings, low brightness. Initially you'll notice less vivid/colourful screen, usually you'll get used to it.

:eek:

Have you seen the Call logs?
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
Thanks!

Thanks again !

Also, just flashing a stock rom (for eg XWKJ1) wont erase my apps and data right ? Or will it ?
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
So is it a bug or intentional?
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Call logs

@ithehappy - How silly of me. Thanks buddy. But the call log is giving the total duration of calls. Is there any way to check the daily duration of incoming and outgoing calls. As per the call log, my daily talk time is about 1.7 hours. Just wanted to check the daily usage. Also i am planning to flash the speedmod kernel. Currently i am on clean and simple rom 1.2 with siyakernel 2.1.1. As per the reviews, speedmod gives a better battery life. Can i flash speedmod using cwm. If yes, speedmod installs cwm v4.x on the gs2, whereas currently i have cwm 5.0. can it create any problems.

Regards

1.nope no nfc in sgs2... bt it has a soln i think(read some pages b4)

2.again nope... some users only get vodafone offer activated..

3.no extra accessories is provided by any of the sites as of now..

you can get sgs2 at a best price of rs.25599 from here

http://mobiles.sulekha.com/samsung_galaxy-s2_mobile.htm

and adexmart is selling at a price of 27750...here

http://www.adexmart.com/samsung/1845-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100.html

i usually do a trick with airtel using s2..

will put network mode in gsm only..and activate a 2g pack(such as rs 17 pack for 3 days with 200mb usage) using *567#...

then i will change network mode to wcdma only...

now,when i use internet it will be in 3g speeds and there will be 3G notification instead of "E"(which appears while using gprs)...

it works fine and gr8 for me..:)

3g speeds at 2g tarrif..:D tada...;)
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
i flashed CheckRom Revolution HD yesterday, although it is too early to tell, but the AOS bug is taking quite a bit of juice in this rom. my battery has drained to 77% in 11hours 7min but i have not used the phone that much. display has been used only for 30 min with 1 min voice calls. the phone is in 3G network but running 2G speeds. if i stick with this rom, it is only.. ONLY for GTalk with video. else, there is no point staying with this rom. and there is no other way to get gtalk video even post rooting. most apk's FC gtalk or remove the app and the problem is solved only after re-flash.
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
a frnd of mine brought otg here...

Hey would do u have any similar way for IDEA? or at least for 3G. Around few months back using proxy settings in mms settings used to give free internet. But does not work now though.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:

He likes it that way, but that doesn't mean everyone will like it, I don't like it ;)

Still I can't give up a great kernel for that issue, that issue only.

I am also using airtel..it shows 3g/h+ but speed will be less....Did you measure speed using speedtest.net app? On other thought i read it may depend on area where airtel is not having full functional setup of 3g..(like a beta).Which area are you from?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
If the ROM is a Non wipe one then it won't touch your data. But if you face any problem after flashing, like 'phone process FC' or else, then you'll have to Wipe + Factory reset via Recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It need 2 months rest
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

mostly i do restore contacts,message and memo,calender and call log (sometimes)

this part titanium beats any app handsdown,
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
restoring up contacts,messages wont give FC's?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:

its cool

can we use it as daily rom?
[Galaxy S II General] emceeb:
Its not a bug its a kernal option where u can change the screen to negatine mode. I happens coz of a default button setting in the kernal. Use whatever app there is to tweak darknight and disable it that shud do the trick
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
No such thing

since 2.3.5.. to 4.0.3 for every rom i'm doing this no such forcecloses for me

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You know. This is what I say. Don't restore system APPS. But you can restore the green coloured backups in TB. See an example in screen shot.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
even contacts,sms ,memo call log cant be restored???

oh then i should restore and do a google backup then try restore from google server..does this work?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
The latest version of TB can take backup of all those on XML format and the same can be restored. Else you can try some third party apps. For contacts backup I always use Gmail sync.

Most interesting settings are customization of status bar ...i'm loving it
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
sync once and wait for few minutes, it will be there
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:

2. It's how it is in ASOP.

This is ICS 4.0.4 which would be coming with a different CSC and modem from Samsung India in a few months from now :p . As usual they just copy Nordic country firmware and change a few things and release it here

B/w anyone having crashes and force closes with tapatalk..? I'm heavily using latest release v2.2.4 and its PITA when it just crashes for no apparent reason. I saw comments on play store from other users as well.

Unless you want to install a theme later, flash the odexed version. Odexed ROMs are faster. Wanam's odexed might not have certain apps such as vlingo, picture editor ( I realised this he last time I tried his fimwares) so I recommend sammobile's link.

Learn and Share.. That is what XDA is about..
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
That's true but initially the dev needs to implement the code in the app & once he does that the play store servers would take care of the rest. It's still a choice for the dev to implement or not.
