First, thank you. I tried this on my Kindle Fire 2 (CM10 - 4.1.2) and it worked, but the device doesn't support mass storage. I still get prompted for MTP or PTP in (Android) Settings.

Otherwise, I think it will work well for Honeycomb, and earlier.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I guess one could rip it out. Swype has English and Japanese now, the beta is free and the Japanese dictionary is good.

The Google Japanese keyboard is good too. Way better than the Samsung one.
[Galaxy S II General] osirls:
Thanks Simmo

I gave the Swype keyboard another try and it's been vastly improved since I last used it.

The English keyboard is great and I can use the swype functionality if desired. The Japanese keyboard is pretty awesome though the swype functionality is pretty hit and miss. I'd guess that's more to do with the Japanese language and less variety in the word characters. Typing normally is great though and the word recognition is pretty spot on.

I have issues with the Google Japanese keyboard. The typing is less responsive and the spacebar is too small. I always end up hitting the fullstop key or the arrow keys.

I'd say Swype Japanese keyboard is the best Japanese keyboard I've used on Android so far, especially because the English keyboard works flawlessly too.

Would be interesting to try an updated Galaxy S3 Japanese keyboard though.

No prob. It's got a fairly easy learning curve. Up to 20 selectable pie wedges. 10 on 10. PLUS, it has about 20 or so swipe inputs also, so it's not just "pie". Really all you need to use the whole screen. Pending on what home launcher you use, just hide the status bar and dock, or nav bar of you have 'nexus' type phone or tablet. Just takes time to learn everything. Run scripts even.

I'd say almost flawless, about 95%.

I just switched over to a CM10.1 build from KBC Developers for the SC-02c.

GPS and SP Mode both work, though I can't speak for the long-term stability of the rom until I have a chance to use it for longer.

From my initial testing, GPS is fast, way faster then I was getting with any of the earlier builds.

Here is the link:

https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/sc02c

They also have a CM10.1 kernel that will allow GPS to work with any CM10.1 based rom.

im currently using cm10 stable

i just wanna ask, what roms are safe to flash on my sc-02c?
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Just about any of the roms will work as long as you have the SC-02c modem and a compatible kernel.

The most recent modem that is included in SimmoF's AnyRom fix will work with any rom that is out there. Finding a compatible kernel is the hard part.

Siyah kernel is compatible with the SC-02c, but the most recent beta is only supporting on stock-based roms, no CM. KBC Developers has a CM10.1 kernel that seems to work pretty well, though it's not quite as fast as Siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Dorimanx kernel is based off Siyah and works pretty well and is updated daily.
[Galaxy S II General] benjp2k1:
Has anyone been having trouble with the wireless connection? Both Wifi and 3G seem to fall asleep on me. And sometimes requires airplane mode on/off to get it started again. Other times, I'll suddenly get bombarded with with Emails and LINE messages that have built up (I know they built up because I get both on my PC - just didn't notice there was no notification on my phone). Is this possibly the modem?

I've tried both WanamLite and NeatROM (Currently on Neat) - both times using the anyrom patch + sp-mode push patch from SimmoF
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
I have never been able to get the GPS working on any of the CM10.1 roms with Dorimanx. Am I missing something obvious?
[Galaxy S II General] osirls:
I'm using the UHLPS NeatRom

Which comes with the Siyah 3.4.1 kernel

Then patched with Simmo's Any Rom patcher.

Everything works great except sometimes I lose signal as I'd my SIM is not supported and have to restart my phone to get a signal back. (Toggling flight mode doesn't work as it won't let you turn it off again!)

Well prob just try a later Siyah kernel to try and fix it though.

Hello Friends,

Can anyone help me by posting a tutorial teaching put CM 10 / 10.1 step by step SC-02C?

Currently the phone is with the official ROM 4.0.3

Researched on various sites and only found how to install CM9, but the links do not work.

Being in Brazil, which modem should I use? and for the GPS fix?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] hugofunatsu:
please just take a doubt:

- Cm-10-20121216-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip

- Gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

- Simmo's SC-02C Any-Rom Tweaker 20120204

My GPS will work?

Where is your CM10 and Siyah? I don't found on your Google Drive! Can you send me the links?

what I have to do for the GPS function with this ROM?

I'm Brazilian. Sorry for bad english.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
For CM10 you would need to install a kernel that is compatible with the SC-02c. Siyah Kernel v5 always worked for me (http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?p=1536).

Step by step, what you would need to do:

Wipe Data / Factory Reset

Wipe System

Wipe Dalvik

Install CM10 Stable (or you can use Revolution Rom 3.1.2, I found that to be a little faster. You can get it here)

Install Gapps

Install Siyah Kernel

Install Simmo's Any-Rom tweaker

Reboot, you should be good to go.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

For CM10.1, the best version I have found is a build by KBC Developers for the SC-02c (Here)

Steps for installation:

- Install Simmof's Any-Rom tweaker (to make sure you have the correct modem)

- Wipe Data / Factory Reset

- Wipe System

- Wipe Dalvik

- Install cm-10.1-20130214-KBC-i9100.zip from KBC Developers

- Install Gapps (for CM10.1)

- Install wjchen's compass fix (don't ask me why, none of the sensors would even work without it)

Reboot and enjoy. So far I have found this to work pretty well. It does not run as well as CM10 or some of the Android 4.1 AOKP builds, but I haven't had any trouble with using it as a daily driver.

GPS seems to work best with this Rom.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The OMMP4 seems to have something buggy. It's ether the modem crashing or something in the rom. But it causes my 3g/wifi to drop out too.

I am playing around with OMMP4 rom with the OMLPL modem and ril.

The latest patcher on my google drive has these implemented, if you want to try changing it.

I'll report back with results.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Where can I find this compass fix?

I've been trying to get my gps working for I don't know how long anymore. No one seems to know of a fix, that I know of, for SC-02C and 4.2.+ roms.

Would really like to give this a try and see if it helps me.

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in adv. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
OK, I have attached it to this post.

Just for clarification, this is used in the KBC build of CM10.1 to fix the sensors. GPS is aready working with that rom (and works very well in my opinion).

Please click thanks if this helps you!
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Thanks.

Yeah, this is the same file I used to fix my compass inversion when the 4.1.+ roms first started rolling out.

But thank you anyway.:thumbup:

I am running the KBC rom currently and so far it has been running quite well.

If you wanted to try some of the other 4.2 roms, KBC has a 4.2 kernel that you can download and flash. I haven't really had time to test it though, so if you do this please post your results.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
I was just looking at them. Seems like the 4.2 kernels are being made by someone else maybe? Looks like they haven't been touched since September or October of last year from what I can tell. The 4.1 kernels on the other hand kind of have 'nightlies' looks like.

MCM has a 10.1 kernel I think I'll try out.:thumbup:

It looks like they just released a new nightly yesterday.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Ouch, which kernel caused that?

Did you try going into download mode and flashing a new recovery kernel with Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
You're right about the kernel, my mistake.

Guess my eyes got ahead of my brain.(what's left of it anyway):thumbup:

About odin, I rooted and everything without the use of a pc, because I don't own one. I used signed zips that are flashable with stock recovery, only if you are on at least ics. Then cwr the rest, simple. xda thread starts with 'universal root ... '

Luckily, I can get into download mode so when I get my hands on a pc, I can resuscitate my bebe. Hehe.

Anyone in the Tokyo-ish area maybe with a laptop willing to meet up and help me out. I'll buy you a beer, or a coffee, or something. Pretty please??? :rolleyes:

I have no idea how you have survived so long without Odin. That has saved my ass numerous times from bricking my phone!

Anyway, you might be able to do it at an internet cafe, as long as they let you use a usb connector.

Odin doesn't need to be installed, so I could email you the Odin executable file and a recovery kernel and you could flash it straight over from the internet cafe's computer.

[Galaxy S II General] Imaginovskiy:
SC02OMLPL modem is what I'm using at the minute. Would it be worthwhile to test a UK based modem?
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
As far as I know that would probably just make your signal worse because the hardware isn't the same. However, it wouldn't hurt for you to try, just make sure you have a backup of the SC02OMLPL modem that you can flash if the UK one doesn't work.

Do you happen to know what frequency your mobile provider uses?
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Thanks for the help, btw.

2,100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+ 3G

800 MHz LTE (Summer 2013 launch) 4G

I'm on the o2 network in the UK, these are their frequencies. Some seem to overlap with the Japanese frequencies.
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Yeah, it looks like you are missing some of the frequencies.

The SC-02c supports 3G at 800MHz and 2.1 GHz, so you are missing out on O2's 900MHz band. While you can still get a reasonably stable signal with 2.1GHz, the lower frequency signals typically have more penetrating power to go through walls and other obstacles. I imagine that your signal probably takes a pretty big hit when you are indoors.

Now, I have no idea whether the actual hardware supports other frequencies (though I would guess that the hardware is also Japan-specific), why don't you try flashing a UK modem and see what happens to your signal strength. (Just make sure you have a backup of the SC-02c modem in case you can't get any signal at all)

Kernel: Siyah-s2-v5.0.1

SC-02C USB port problem and resolution - experience

FYI how I solved my broken USB port.

My phone had the common Galaxy S2 problem where you can't charge the phone or transfer data through the USB port and the phone would suddenly rapidly discharge from shorting in the USB port.

Tried all the tricks I could scour on the web to rectify it but realised I had to replace the port :(

Wasn't able to find the Charging Port with Flex Cable for the SC-02C so order the Charging Port with Flex Cable for the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II (SKU MBRPSS313 from parts4repairDOTcom) - I didn't fit the SC-02C but was worth a try.

Ended up buying the USB Charging Connector Replacement (yes just the tiny little USB socket) and had to remove the original dead one with snips (couldn't de-solder easily) and solder the new one one - it was very tricky but did do the job - it now works perfectly!

If anyone DOES know of where to get the correct Charging Port with Flex Cable for the SC-02C, then please post it here (my Japanese wife originally went on some Japanese forums to find out where to get the part but even Japanese otaku said they couldn't get hold it!!)
