God knows what he meant in that post lol.

Anyways doesn't the selecting defaults on menu of that app revert to factory setting?

So anyone else using voodoo? Just restarting phone will sure set the settings to default settings from voodoo right?

Any iPhone color theme available for the S2 ?

I don't need the iPhone UI look, just the soothing color scheme, like the light blue / grey / white colors.

S2 themes are normally all dark.

Also, is there any thing like text expander for Android ?

In iOS, I used an app where I could assign shortcuts like 'rs' for 'rupees' or 'wk' for work. And when I would type the keyword, it would be instantly replaced by the full form.

It's available by default in iOS 5 now.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Go for MIUI ROM..Yes!!,you have to change ROM to get the whole color schema..otherwise if u try themes like MIUI mix,you settings,menu,etc., will have the black look.

And for textexpander from what i know of android, one has to replace the keyboard. For securitypurposes applications are not allowed to listen to what the user is typing in other apps. You can try SlideIT keyboard or Firekeys.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
If you don't want third party apps then:

Got to settings > language and keyboard > Samsung keypad settings > then XT9 advance settings > XT9 auto-substitution > press menu > add then add the required input and output.

If you put shortcut as "rs" then substitution as "Rupees." when you type rs you will get Rupees. The only downside is that to type rs as it is you will have to type it letter wise.

Edit: you need to tick auto substitution option in XT9 advance settings too for this to work.
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
Oh! That's crazy! I thought that there would easily be an iOS theme or color scheme out there for Android.

I am on Checkrom. How good / stable is MIUI ?

Works great ! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Yes its quite good.It has even some ICS parts!!But, i left MIUI coz one guy asked me whether it my phone was a new version of an iPhone?lol :P And MIUI is very very gorgeous looking..trust me..but i missed some features in Sammy ROM..so came back..

You can give it a try..only 100 MB ROM :)

Thats a paid app isnt it. Though paying for CF apps is something i wont mind at all. Interesting idea. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
Ok. Any idea if Samsung Voice Commands / Voice Talk would work on it ? How can I get those with MIUI ?

I already got that from the KitchenPro on Checkrom ! Thanks!

I don't really want a launcher. Just the light colors. Colored Android fonts on black backgrounds look a little tacky.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Yup it works..Though i didnt try it at that time when i had MIUI..

PS.- Another reason for me leaving MIUI was it didnt have wifi-direct support :( which i use a lot..
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
What's Wifi Direct for ?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Wi-Fi direct is a technology to make two devices to talk without a wireless access point.So ,in S2 me and my friend use to transfer files(fileas as in 300 MB to 600 MB files) in less than 1 minute..So MIUI didnt support it..Only Sammy ROMs and all those based on Sammy ROMs have that feature..
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You can activate the feature by going to settings > wireless and networks > wifi direct settings.

Its a feature where you can transfer files between two devices over the wifi with out the need for access point or wireless router. Its just like Bluetooth but you use wifi instead. Its a huge battery drainer and also gives high speed data transfer. But you need the same feature in the other device too.

AFAIK this feature is available only in GS2 and Galaxy Note in India.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
so, i flashed CheckRom revolution HD on my phone. believe me, it is not at all impressive. very very bad battery back up. other than that, the rom was good. i will, how ever, keep this rom for another 2 days and see if there is any improvement. if not, its back to Androidmeda
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@emze bro I am on checkrom revolution hd from last so many days. And mine battery life is good.. M on siyah 2.4.2 kernel and kl1 modem.. It's giving me nice battery backup..
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
Ok. That's pretty fast for that size !

On a sidenote, does anyone have a Note here ?

My brother is planning to buy one.

Is there any flaw / drawback, I need to check for ?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Two major drawbacks!

1. Its big in size. So you need two hands at least to operate it. Can't operate it at all when other hand is engaged :p

2. You got to take new pants with bigger pockets. :p

Hehe.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
My brother has mammoth hands ! And he wears ballon pants !

Problem solved ! :p

On a serious Note, anything ?

Also, does it support USB on the Go ? Can I use my usb pen drive to transfer data to and fro ?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Man I would like to buy a baloon pants!

Well I at anytime think of new mobile will go to gsmarena and read the review thoroughly. Used to do this for each and every major phone until I purchased Galaxy S2. Now I go to that site like once a week.

So you might wanna read this review www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_n7000-review-676.php and see the specs here www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note-4135.php

Well I personally find gsmarena reliable. However asking a person who has used it is much more better.

Question ::

I want to flash siyah 2.4.2. I am not rooted. All i have flashed till now is intratech official ROMS via PC ODIN.

Can anyone let know the steps to follow to flash the kernel? I want to stay on my stock ROM itself. Do i need to root?

I know about Vlingo. But the functionality is quite different in the Samsung implementation.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thanx I got beautiful widgets already :)

Since siyah is an insecure kernel, means not stock, flashing it itself will root your device. As far as I know you can install it only via CWM? Someone correct it if I'm wrong.

what do you mean by icons messed up? Like you can't see them? Gibrish or something?

When I tried it, it arranged properly. How long the gap? You can upload a screen shot? Also you have this problem now and then? You told you don't want to clear cache each and evetytime..

And what about cahe and dalvik cahe?

I was sort of thinking to root by darklord's method.

That saves the binary counter increment if i remember right.

It says it will

' This script will:

(1) root ur device using latest zergRush exploit (16 Nov)

(2) install Busybox (1.18.4)

(3) install SU files (binary: 3.0.3 and apk: 3.0.6)

There are two types in kernel flashables

CWM -> flashable via CWM recovery or CWM tool.

TAR - > flashed via odin, or darky rom tool.

Id suggest you to use CWM method, all you have to is download the cwm zip file, copy to sd card, select the file in CWM and flash... its over. siyah kernel is already rooted.

But it wont come with SU to give you all permissions, either you have to push it manually or install SU via CWM

You can get SU from here

http://goo-inside.me/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip

Just download it and flash via CWM.

Indian update coming

Hi all...

I asked Joseph of youmoblie to enquire about the android update for india from samsung India. He enquired it and all the info he could gather from sam India is that by the end of this month we are getting an update which can be 2.3.4/2.3.5.

You can take a look at this page of his site and read a commnt down that page..

http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-2-3-5-Countries-Release-Status-Daily-Updated

My twitter screenshot is also attached..

He also said that this can be cancelled and further delayed too as ICS is coming on January 2012. I know all of us here are already on Android 2.3.6 or on custom rom..but still a small piece of news about a firmware upgrade. This is definitely a bad show by sammy as they are still thinking of releasing a 2.3.4/5 firmware instead of 2.3.6...we are still not getting the latest firmware...sad!
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Yep, I am using A1 too. It says "SM2 (A2 Line) - SMD_AMS427G03" - same as yours, whatever that means :)

This setting is probably the best for me too. Brings out the best in my lockscreen (attached)

Yep, been using it for along time now. Resets on every reboot. You can also "click" on the "Samsung" button to revert to default settings.

CheckROM has a very nice MIUI theme by our very own Silesh Nair :)

You can check this page for apps. Updated everyday and official!

https://market.android.com/details?id=apps_timed_promotion&feature=banner&hl=en

INR is taking quite the beating!!

CheckROM working great for me too. I am on v2.0 though. Planning to shift to 4.0 at the end of my vacation.

WiFi Sharing was one of the initial sources of battery drain. It is a system apk. You can flash it and if it causes a battery drain, you can delete the apk from /system/app

Video Playback Issue

Ever since I flashed CheckROM v4 I've tried multiple kernels but none seem to have fixed the issue with video playback. My main issues are with 720p mkv files, 720p mp4 files and mov files. The playback seems sluggish and I need to open them in Mx player and switch to S/W Decoder if I want audio. Otherwise the vides just play without any sound. Anyone else have this issue? Also scrubbing through the video is extremely slow and the video playback hangs somethings. :(

Just that all file formats played flawlessly when I was on stock.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
i am not a big fan of CRR. now i have come to a conclusion, the KK5 and all roms based on it are not good. the CRR V3 was better than V4 if you ask me(based on KJ3) stock KK5 is also having issues. it does not let me view a few non youtube videos, it is sluggish, battery is not that great again. but it is too early to talk about battery since i flashed last night only

i might go down to androidmeda as i am missing my gtalk video support
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Try changing the governor and scheduler via voltage control or some other apps, some governors are bad with playback. The way 720p encoded might have some problems with s2, not all mkv encoding methods will work. I too have a file 720p video file where the audio wont play in stock or any other player except mx video player(audio in software mode)
