Hey guys,

I am so frustrated with the battery life that i have finally decided to flash a new rom. Currently i am on Android version: 2.3.3, Baseband version:I9100DDKE4, Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3, Build no.:Gingerbread.XWKF3. Obviously i want to install the latest official rom available. However, i am a total noob in case of android as i have just shifted from blackberry. Can anyone refer me any guide which can tell me about rooting, kernel, how to flash, which rom to flash for better battery etc. I know i can search for this info but if anyone can guide me it will save me some time and i guess thats the whole point of the forum, helping each other.

Thanks and Regards

Note: I am thinking of installing the following:

XWKJ2

Android 2.3.5

This package has: PDA: XWKJ2| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

Download: http://www.multiupload.com/9T5AORNZ3Y

XWKJ2 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/DDKCBP8PHD

Password: intratech@XDA

Used XXKI3 modem in this package as I compared it to XXKI4 and whilst performance was similar on O2 network XXKI3 was more efficient when it came to battery life.

Kindly comment if it will be ok as it says that it shows a better battery life and is the latest version of 2.3.5. It is a frankenstein package.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
On KF3 I had the best backup, but from the day I switched to 2.3.5 the backup has gotten worse, in Standby mainly. Now it's up to you if you want to move on to KJ2 or else. I am not saying that you will have the same issue like me, just said my story.
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Thanks for the tip bro. But ever since i shifted to android i have not flashed a new rom and the itch is very strong, so i guess sooner or later i will install a new one. Only thing is that i dont have any idea about this so i am asking for help.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] shrayv:
Any ideas on this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
I think i will try the intratechs guide and install xj2 wiht k13. Lets see what happens. I guess i will also backup the data and applications installed.

Been testing the SpeedMod kernel, and I am amazed with the result. Highly recommend this kernel. Even without any UV this result is mind blowing. This is the result comparison with other kernels,

Angry Birds Rio, continuous screen on, at Beach Volley Stage, mainly white and sky background,

CF- 35% drain after 55 mins,

Ninpho 2.1.3/2.0.2- 28-29% after 80 mins,

SpeedMod Latest- 19% after 80 mins :eek:

Nice.

The only thing missing is Overclocking option :(, which I might do in future.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Hey can anybody on KI8 confirm whether they get the option to again call back,sms,etc after a failed call.I dont get it anymore.though,the option is checked on phone settings.

Is it because of the SiyahKernel i am using???

which channel?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Sony Six
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Nope...Many indian users use non indian modems(i am using the latest modem from LPG rom)

I don't think samsung india does anything in indian rom, they just compile the European rom with changing the name(and all frequencies are included which are supported by SGS2 in every modem over the world)

Just try many modems and see which balances the best battery and signal

Titanium Backup Pro NOT INSTALLING! HELP!!

Hi Friends,

I'm having this peculiar problem. Whenever I try to install Titanium Backup it does not install saying there is not sufficient space and I should first remove some apps.

I have around 900 MB space Free out of my 1.97 GB of RAM memory and I have 3 GB space free out of my 11.5 GB on the INTERNAL SD Card (built in by Samsung). Is this much space not sufficient? How much space does Titanium require anyway?

And point to be noted is that I had Titanium Backup Pro installed even when I had much less space than I have now earlier, but for some reason I uninstalled it a few months back. Now no version of Titanium is getting installed giving error msg of Lack Of Space. Does anyone know what the problem is??

Useful help will be much appreciated. Thanks

PS: Needless to say I'm on the latest firmware XWLP7 and am rooted. I have also tried freeing up space by uninstalling many apps, but no matter how many apps I uninstall, I am still getting msg, "out of space" when I try to install Titanium

Some queries I want to ask to all those Samsung users who have got their ICS update. I think only S2 and Note users have got ICS update.

1. Have you received 4.0.3 or 4.0.4? I use SGS2 and I got 4.0.3 update. I have read at number of places that 4.0.3 is buggy. What version of ICS is on SGS3?

2. When you open up the Qwerty keypad on your device for typing something do you get a keyboard sign on the top? Sometimes I get annoyed seeing that sign – Is it possible to disable that sign?

3. Earlier on Gingerbread you had options like turning on/off background data and Auto Sync. I usually used to disable both. When background data was off you would not be able to access the Play Store but apps like Whatsapp used to function – by function I mean I used to receive Whatsapp notifications even when I was not using the phone. Now in ICS, the background data option is in Data usage section. However when I disable that option Whatsapp gives me notifications only when I open the app. I mean I want the notifications to come as and when a friend messages me (like it used to happen on GB 2.3.6), not when I unlock my phone and open Whatsapp. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there an option which I have not selected because of which this is happening?

I know these are small things but I fail to understand why has Google changed things which required no changes. I mean these things were already simple and easy to use – Why they need to change that? My battery life is almost similar to what I was getting on GB 2.3.6.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Video calling isn't an asop feature, its a samsung one which by the way is muddled with proprietory code so it is never gonna get implemented unless google does.

Linaro code was tested on a galaxy nexus as well as a droid razer & there was noticable improvements. As to the code comming to other devices, a review with the code has been submitted to gerrit for it to be reviewed & implemented into the CM tree so if & when it does get implemented you can expect the code to be in all CM9 device builds.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:

1st of all how many video call would you make?

2nd there is always gtalk video & viber & tons of other apps that would do that so people don't have to remain on stock firmwares & if still people want video calling then they can stick to stock, asop is a one size fits all & not tailor made.

1. SGS2 got 4.0.3

2. Open Titanium pro and freeze Voice search( I tried disabling it from settings but it came alive some how persistently)

3. That option is taken out in ICS.:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I saw many peoples were admiring Touchwiz and its goodies when S2 was launched.

AOSP roms became much popular with 4.0.x. I doubt many people yet to try CM7 on S2 from this thread.

at the same time Samsung missed opportunity polishing ICS OS for S2.

with GB rom still Touchwiz is best choice for S2.

This is my personal opinion though, Where is Sahib??

In GB CM7 didn't have stability(crashes and FC), was the reason of less installs of CM7(through it was installed on 52k SGS2)

On my x10 is was much more stable

But touchwiz4 looks **** even on GB(my personal option and 52k other people with CM7)

And when samsung released ics for s2 70% people said tw4 sucks bad on ics and ruins the ics looks,style,feel and looks like minor update

After theme chooser and other cm9 tweaks people are more and more going towards CM9 and yet half of the tweaks and customization is not included in CM9

CM9 is the has much more functionality and customization

FM- I don't use it as i have WIFI/3G to listen songs of my choice(their is spirit fm app which fixes fm on cm9)

TV OUT- i don't have MHL cable(half works, videos)

VIDEO CALL- Never used it yet from mobile network(g-talk/skype for free)

Why i didn't buy galaxy nexus

1.Was 42k at that time as was imported by 2-3 sellers and demand was also great

2.No warranty

Now its 23k thinking of getting it but have to invest 5k which i want to save for next phone:D

My next device will be nexus 4

What we were discussing in a few posts above:

Previously in GB, when u restrict BG data it applies to Google specific apps like market and data syncing.other apps like whatsapp will still function.

Now in ICS, it's like all or none phenomena.You cannot restrict BG activity in piecemeal now in ICS.Even then Google play can still access internet.This setting only prevents apps access to internet once they have gone to the background.
