Governor Doubts

@bala_gamer,

I saw that you're on Siyah 2.2. The final release came out today and there are 2 versions, a normal one and a nolog one. I am a bit confused as to which on to install. Also could you please tell me which governor you are using and how I can flash it. SmartassV2 seems to be the most popular, what do you suggest.

I know this post is directed to bala but anyone who's used Siyah with different governors can help me out here! :)

Well yeah I guess permission 5 is the creepy one.. Maybe that's how amazon makes money by giving away paid app for free completely..

Actually I tried in my browser too and could not find the merge option? :confused:

You replied a little too fast lol :p

EDIT: oh hey it merged. Okay I figured it out.. The next double post should be instant I guess, only, then it will merge up.. :/

On other had.. do you people like the stock browser? I feel its so buggy because when you try to scroll you will see alot of checkered black and white backgrounds. Also the browser will just stop loading the page, like the circle beside the bookmarks icon will stop rotating and the only way to make it work is by locking and unlocking the screen.. :( using opera mobile instead.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
The no log version version doesn't use android logger, giving a slight performance increase. But you can't use app locking software's with no log version.

If you don't use any such app, you can better go with the nolog version.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

A decent video card will cost you around 8k. But there many factors you have to check before going for the upgrade.

The only advantage with the stock browser is it is hardware accelerated. Apart from that it sucks.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh the reviews and other sites were like its the best browesrr out there.. :rolleyes:

Which you people use in GS2? A browser where you always go back to after trying many?

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

What does TRAI got anything do with sofware updates? Maybe they are looking for if the update overrides the 100msg limit per day.. bha.. Just lame excuses I guess..
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Im using Opera 11.x, its stable and fast and to add finally it has the page wrap feature which the other browser lacks.

I heard they have extended the limit to 200 a few days back, anything new after that?
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:

@Ravi Teja and all,

I'm currently using Cognition 1.6.1 with Speedmod 16, The phone is getting kinda laggy with a few 250+ apps. Thinking of reinstalling ROM.

I wanted to try out CM 7 but I've heard the Camera on CM 7 isn't that good as sammy is it true? What is your suggestion regarding this? Any good ROM that you can recommend? Do you think a little bit of downgrade for cam is worth it over all?

btw, I use my camera a lot to take pics.

Thanks btw and I hope you recover very soon! :D (HYD FTW!!)

[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
my SGS2 ceased working yesterday. One checking , the motherboard is gone and now it has to replaced. apparently the samsung warranty would not cover the motherboard and the total cost comes around 10k INR. I had bought warranty from the shop i got the phone and so now they are taking a look at it and see if something can be done at a lesser cost with insurance covering half of it. Worst case I am told that I would get 75% of the current cost as refund from the insurance. missing my SGS2 badly. :(

Criskelo comes with stock camera too. As i havent used stock roms for a while i cant comment about the pros and cons. Custom roms are all about the look and feel, i liked the look of criskelo and hence using it. By the way it is pretty stable too.

I cant watch any video online until and unless they are uploaded on youtube. What should i do

CM7 camera is not that good,better use stock camera app from samsung or , try camera360 and others from market.

Do you mean "unless played on youtube app?", have you installed the flash player from market?
[Galaxy S II General] Link2Adi:
Yes i have installed the app. It only opens if its on youtube. Then it plays both in browser and youtube app. Otherwise i dont even see the video window. For example, i cant watch dailymotion videos in browser
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Working perfect here on stock browser. did you tried different browsers?
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
I think we can't use stock camera app on cm7 or am I wrong..please enlight me

Ya it wont work. If you want better pics, then its better to stay away from cm7 , though the quality difference is negligible.

Thread sticky

Guys,

I tried getting this thread to be stickied, but didn't get a positive response.

The reason given was that the Indian milestone is similar to the European milestone and hence not required.

Also the AU and Japanese phones are different and hence their threads stickied.

Just for info so that others wanting to get this done need not try.

Good day.

to all the folks here, respond to this message with your current rom, how long you have been on it, your battery life, over all performance and what do you think about the ROM. if you are rooted, what custom kernel did you use. i think if we do something like this on a regular basis, like every 100th page, it will be easy for everyone to get updated on the latest/best roms and it will be easy for new people to choose a good custom/stock rom.

Thanks for everyone for helping out each other and making this thread successful

1\ Can we flash speedmod kernel over CM 7? Is it possible?

2\ How do I remove Yellow Tri-Angle? Can anyone let me know any simple ways to do this?

3\ Speedmod or Siyah kernel? Which one is the best in terms of battery life & performance? (based on your experience?)

I've played with undervolting on my x10 and SGS-II and I'm surprised Speedmod is getting good battery life without UV. Just wanted to ask opinions regarding this.

Do you believe this :(

Hi ,

Today my brother bought Galaxy Y(young) Mobile 7K. Stock ROM version 2.3.6

Why for Galaxy S2 , official stock ROM still 2.3.4 :(
[Galaxy S II General] :
Hey every one, had rooted phone yesterday to see whats the benefit of the custom rom. I honestly did not find much change from the stock rom, i'm kinda new to sg2 but back in dhd we had kernels built in to roms and pretty much you could distinguish between each one easily,that does not seem to be the case here :D.

So i was wondering if we could have a poll or if every one could point out the best things they found on the roms they are currently on :D

For starters i tried the sensation rom and andromeda.

Of them i like sensation for its customisation but looked like it was heavy on the battery and for andromeda i got confused on all the surgeon thingy :p

So i said before i did not see much difference hence went back to stock 2.3.5 ( European firmware :D).

What say my fellow contry men which rom do you guys use :D

Buddy it has been stated thousand times, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days don't matter, its Display on time what matters most. As long as you're getting around 5 hours of display on time then that's what you need.

Nowadays I am charging my phone twice a day, downloading all time :D

Besides, I don't believe that there is any combo of best ROM &	Kernel thing out there. Just my opinion, no offense to anyone.

Coz u cant expect any more updates for Galaxy Y. Whats the point in waiting for 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 for GalS2 when there is a less diff, and Samsung might working for ICS rather thn just versions.
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Certain combos work and some don't. Also the phone reacts differently to different kinds of usage so you've got to play around n find what works for you. I've had good battery life with KJ2 & Speedmod K2-18test2/Siyah 2.1.1. I have also had good battery life with Galnet MIUI 1.11.9 + Siyah 2.1.1. I've also heard good stuff bout Wanamlite, will be trying it soon. :)

UV can help battery, but I haven't played with that yet so I can't suggest any settings!
