Screen Problem

I just noticed faint horizontal banding in the new Go Launcher settings menu, which is now white in colour. A pure white image does not have this banding and if I open up Voodoo screen tuning app and tap native, this banding goes away. Can anyone else using go launcher confirm this pls. I hope it's not just my S2 that behaves like this. :(

UPDATE: I have attached a screenshot of the menu I am referring to, in which you will notice that the while menu background has a subtle gradient to light gray. My S2 struggles with this gradient, causing banding. Does this happen with yours or does it appear smooth like it does on your pc?

PS: I just used Go Launcher on my aunt's LG G2X and the menu looks perfect on hers. No issues. :(

@kachrukamble hey buddy can you just upload ics bootloader from Odin version. I will try to flash it via mobile Odin and then will try and flash cwm version of cm9..what say? Is it a good idea?
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@Mr. Raviteja get them from market..
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Just ordered my sgs2 from ebay.in

Will be receiving it soon

Christmas offer
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Cool..Welcome to Galaxy Family.....I really hope you get I9100 not I9100G in I9100 box
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
I hope you have confirmed with the seller that this is the I9100 and not the I9100G version.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Yup I know the huge difference and i confirmed it

But if it turns out to be I9100G then i will replace or refund it
[Galaxy S II General] samirbole:
Hi,

Should I directly overwrite the existing file using windows explorer/file explorer on android or flash it using CWM Recovery?

I have been able to install the CM9 build correctly but the signal keeps on dropping. WIFI and all other things are working fine

regards
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I am out of the town right now, Tried extracted the backup of CM9 in mobile. cant find the boot loader within those extracted files. will provide u later if u want. Btwn do u downloaded that alpha leak and before flash did u wiped data/factory reset
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
Ya I had that leak already and tried to flash over it. Wiped data, done factory reset, wiped cache and stuff but no luck its just stops at start screen before animation. Btw is it possible to flash Odin version through mobile Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Install root explorer in your mobile and replace the files.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Not CWM package, if u download odin package then go with mobile ODIN. btwn I will proveid u boot loader before 2.00 pm
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
OT: lol nice Sig for a second I thought there was a insect on my laptop screen
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
+1, it was so real for a sec..
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I think you can see it in my screen shot too. If I increase the brightness the banding is not there. Try keeping lowest brightness in your aunt's phone and check it?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
@ Virani_joshi

Here is boot loader for ODIN
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@kachrukamble thanks for the boot loader but i just finished downloading the Odin version..will try of Odin version through mobile Odin..any precautions to take before flashing through mobile Odin. Because m using it for first time... m thanks you..
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Also download gapps n place it to sd. don't forget to wipe data after flash. Try to leave ur phone for a while to detect simcard also try reboot the phone. If ur lucky u will be. If still sim card not detected, replace those lib files provided by bala_gamer in to systym/lib folder using root explorer. here u can use your phone without data network. And one thing there is no File manager preinstalled.
[Galaxy S II General] samirbole:
It is presently working without copying these files to my phone. 2G Data also works fine.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Reboot ur phone and check the signal. This build has network issue regarding RIL, some time it works other time it wont
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Confusion resolved

@bala,

regarding the missing crazy animations where the screen flips every time you select a menu item and stuff was present only in Criskelo 31 and not 34 or 34.1. Hehe. The reason I know this is cuz I did a really stupid thing. lol. I flashed v34 then by mistake, flashed v31 thinking it was the v34.1 update.zip. haha.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
lol!!! atleast you solved your issue :) i thought you missed some basic animations lol
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@kachrukamble thanks buddy. back to GB for now. Will try at night again..
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
....Check PM....
[Galaxy S II General] npk21:
Hey friends m confused a lot between S2 and Sensation XE

Please suggest me a good one!!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well people will suggest Samsung GS2 anyways :rolleyes:

Can someone with Android v4 post screen shot of the smiley in stock messaging app here? Are they still the same ugly android heads?
[Galaxy S II General] npk21:
..........................

Well , i saw an aquarium live wallpaper on S2 and Note , desktop scrolling was smooth on note but bit laggy on s2 ? what might be the reason ??
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I will say GS2...This is a GS2 forum so almost everyone will say S2 only...If you go to Sensation XE many might say Sensation XE only

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
No need to flash, it will be there on kies in a week,(its available in kies now with test mode enabled)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
lol......Downloading KL1 but not going to flash
[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:
my dream comes true

man ... I said right ... I had a dream about KL1 :D :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
You are right, but atleast we can try it and extract some useful goodies, specially the fonts, im sure this firmware will support all indian fonts
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Just want to Add that, SGS never recieved 2.2.1 update officially ... SGS directly recieved 2.3.4 from 2.2 ... :P

Well , I think Samsung is going to do the same here .. 2.3.3 and then directly 4.0.1 or 4.0.2

However, We may get 2.3.5/6 update by end of December.... :P

This is pure Guesswork...

That was me dude ... :P
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
lol *runs to find sleeping tablets and gives them* Now sleep and dream about 4.0/4.1 :p

oh ya now I remember that was you
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Can you do me one favor? After your download is finished can you upload me the fonts folder in this rom?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Woow

Finally Samsung India did it

Thanks Samsung India, First Thing in the TOMORROW morning Is Flashing KL1
[Galaxy S II General] ankitjain*:
One of them is me . :-P
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Sure ...My net is slow (this months limit is over of high speed) and I am using net right now and downloading other side...So will take time...I might upload it by night or tomorrow morning.....Have you checked your PM?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Just checked your Pm, thanks for sharing, once the beta expires i think it wont work(lets hope not :p)

It will be great if you upload those files within tonight, cos ill download it tmrw morning anyway :D

Edit:

I really appreciate the samsung india guys, i have contacted them so many times, but this is the first ever time to get a positive reply(with proper response ofcourse).
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
They took 6 months to release a update for us and Now they will take another 6 months for 4.0 :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
I think KL3 for thailand is the latest build

Which one we should flash KL1 OR KL3?
[Galaxy S II General] superarnab:
As Joseph of youmobile tweeted me regarding the update being available by december end...and I posted with a screen shot in this forum, samsung India did it and all my thanks goes to Joseph to telling the update ETA. Thank You Joseph..and that was not any guesswork too...(Got 4 thanks for that too..ha ha :))
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Your welcome..I think it won't stop...Click update and it will get updated to next beta :) ....I will try
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Like you really care for INU Release of 4.0 !!! :) I bet you will jump into ICS rom the moment stable one leaks. ;)

I just tried CM9 today, and believe me when i Say this. ...

There is no reason for me to stay on TW based ICS. :-) CM9 Looks amazing and blazing Fast!

I dont think SGS II TW ICS release would be that Great. it would be GB + ICS :).
[Galaxy S II General] samirbole:
Data network stopped working now. I have the KL1 files as suggested by bala_gamer and root explorer installed on my phone. I am not able to start the USB storage on my phone thru CWM(It says lunfile not found when i say mount usb storage)

How can I transfer files from my PC to phone
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Use FileExpert to share Files from from via Wifi ftp. in case you have Wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Well I care for INU release and you are right I will jump to ICS when stable one will release
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
If mounting doesn't works, you can always mount your SD card from cwm and copy this files.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Ohh..It seems i Have to rush home to make a new version for my ROM ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Ill jump as soon as the first working version releases. :p
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
This time for Me, CM9 have got my vote ! Pure ICS experience if Really awesome.

You know it as well , i believe?

Just flashed DDKL1 , waiting for it to reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
2.3.6 update will be available OTA?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Dont think so! 2.3.3 ROM has OTA in it ? If yes, then you might get it.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Yay!!!!

Finally, an update.

A late christmas gift, or on time new year gift.

For ICS, next year it is then.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
It will be available in kies in few days.

Edit

Not sure about ota, may be or may not
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Oops
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ virtualask

I'd love to see pure aosp, rather than cm9, but if cm9 is good I'd surely go for it. Cm7 was never perfect for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
CM9 is pure aosp + tweaks which are good for daily use. Like Notifications shortcuts in Notification bars, new Music App , New Launcher App.

Problem would be to get things which are part of Samsung Roms. .. :-) e.g., Swipe to call or message.

CM9, now has T9 dial-er ..which i always miss in CM7. Pure GB UI sucks for sure...TW is better than stock GB.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you are right,id prefer tw when compared to stock gb, cant guess how tw will be modified for ICS, or simply they will save the tw update for sgs3, fingers crossed/
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
CM9 updated

Codeworkx updated CM9
[Galaxy S II General] superfast:
any change log :D other thn it supports kannada fonts!

so wht happened to the gtalk vedio!

this update means more wait for official ICS :D
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Welcome to the S2 family.

I myself, had x10 before.

You were, the one who introduced DikeJ, if m not wrong.

Make sure u get I9100.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Wot beta!? Anything to rip off? Lol Hehe :p hope I'm not poking my nose.

Btw anyone using android v4 can tell me the smileys in the stock messaging app is the same as those ugly green android heads? Hate them! If they are changed please post a screen shot! :D

Guys also I need to know which ways2sms app works good in market? There are quite a few and is it safe?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Your guess is right.............If you know any good way2sms app say it to me also

Thanks Digi for 100th Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
the smileys are revamped, still there are green but they are dark green and looks much better then the old ones, will post a screenshot later. I used 160by2 mobile app for sending sms, but for some reason its not working, havent tried any others, notify me if any sms app works for you :)

@ ravi

you got 100 thanks, great goin dude
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Also can someone point me to good sms counter? I mainly need it for sent sms. That's because as you all know we are only limited to 100sms! So I wad using 'sms counter' from market. But that app records the sent items not that accurately. What I mean is if I send one sms with 2 parts included in it, then the app records it as 1 sms sent instead of 2. It should record as 2 because the network operator sees the sms parts and not the whole sms. Hope I could explain in a proper way. Someone know any app? :) thanx!

I found a handset with the code-name 'KAINU' at the end. Manufacturing date is Oct' 11. I am afraid I can get a 'I9100G' version again. Its only I9100 on the box. Can anyone confirm that the KAINU version is G or non G ??????? Then I'm going for it tomorrow!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
LKAINU is I9100 LKGINU is I9100G
[Galaxy S II General] :
Its going to be no different from the other KL1 releases with some customizations for the Indian market like fonts/CSC. That's pretty much what you will get.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Are u 100% sure??? Can I go for it then??????
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Hmm..thanks silesh..But i just hoped someone would tell if its laggy or something along that lines...

eg-I just dont like the small lag introduced in 2.3.6 while opening the music app,when one clicks on the music control in the notification bar..
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Yes I am 100% sure...............What if they kept Product code also wrong on box and gave I1900G in the box?

anyone using polaris office ??

When i'm typing in word document in polaris document using swype ,some text is getting replaced by typing word, and i have to type whole thing again. Its really really annoying

Undo button is not giving back replaced text.. pLS SOME ONE CHECK AND REPLY PLS ITS URGENT, I need to type few letters urgently. Now i'm typing in Memo and copying back.
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
I don't get it...after months of waiting and all sorts of speculation, why aren't we more excited about the Indian firmware update?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Because most of us are rooted and using custom roms.........You won't see us excited until we get 4.0 First/Fast :p
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
He can always has the option, of suing SAMSUNG in court, if they provide an I9100G, in I9100 box. But, thats a hassle.

So, its better, to confirm, that its a I9100, by looking the phone itself.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
The pleasure is in pursuing. ;)

HEre is the screenshot of new smileys in cm9 build, somewhat better than gingerbread one.

Becoz there is nothing to get excited about. What are you expecting in this release anyway?
[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
At-least Gtalk with video ;) i believe Gtalk with video on this ROM..

Can you someone confirm this.

I have used European KL1, which having Gtalk with video :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
ITs same as XWKL1 with regional changes, checkout the KL1 thread for gtalk.
[Galaxy S II General] :
LOL, You are downloading a 350MB firmware file just to get Gtalk with video when i can get it as a seperate zip file which is 5MB. :)

I haven't downloaded the rom yet, so can't comment on your query.

One more SII lol

[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Hey, just checked this cool site. I would also like to customize my battery icon, but just worried if it works? Did yours work fine? I think you posted earlier that you were stuck at the splash screen after flashing your battery mod? So we just have to flash the ZIP file that we get from the Kitchen with Odin? Or do we have to flash it with CWM? We have to flash the zip file as it is or after extracting? I'm on KF3 rooted, will it work for me?
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
My GS2 was stuck at the splash screen when i used someone elses battery mod.

So i created my own.

Yes, if u are on KF3 stock rom with CF-Rooted KF3 kernel,it will work for you.

i hope u liked my creation for KF3 roms. :)

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Thanks, Karan. I'm gonna try a lot of modifications now :) Hope it works. Just confirm to me the exact steps in flashing the ZIP file.

1. Push the zip file in phone's sdcard

2. Open CWM and choose Reboot into CWM Recovery

3. Flash UOT zip

4. Reboot normally....done!

Are the steps correct? Pls confirm. Also tell me if after modding my battery icon, if I want to change other things and create a new UOT zip for them........then while uploading the system files, I have to upload the NEW system files (which will get created after modding the battery) OR do I have to upload the Original system files which were there Before modding the battery??
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
Yes these are the steps.did it work ? read my first post properly.It is only for KF3 stock ROM with CF-Rooted KF3 Kernel.

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II General] arvindm:
Yes it is to be flashed via CWM. I think you can flash it via the normal recovery as well but you will have to rename the file as "update" .. am not sure about this part though. But if you have CWM then yes, just flash it and you will have the new battery mod.
