I've always wondered why people use the stock browser when it is quite frankly **** compared to some third party ones.

There is a browser comparison on XDA which details how Opera Mobile wipes the floor with all the others, and to be honest the only reason why a lot of people didn't use it (the pain of changing the User Profile from mobile to desktop) is non existent with the most recent update, as it now has a menu option (instead of digging into the config).
[Galaxy S II General] sinjiyo:
or instal LeoMar75's rom.:p
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
That's correct. while i was deodexing browser.apk i just looked at the dipendencies with the bootclasspath and i discovered that it has no dependencies with other odexed apps. Keep in mind that if you change a single odex jar file you will fucx up the checksum stored in the dalvik virtual machine.

That said i asked to myself if we really need to change jar file inside framework. The answer is yes because we need overscroll gliw effect and the extended power menu which means that we need to hack android.policy.jar and framework.jar. Ok we can still survive whithout overscroll glow but i wanted the extended power menu. So thanks to jkay i managed to use by modding his app and theme, theme settings app in this way it was possoble to have a fully customizable power menu.

That'it

BTW sorry for my bad english i hope it make sense for you.

Do you have a link to the comparison? I would like to read about it.
[Galaxy S II General] Fysi:
Did some digging and found it. It's a couple months old but the browsers haven't changed that much since then.

Guys i do not like to say bull**** but come on the stock hw accellerated browser is the best i have tried so far. If you are not blind you will agree to me.

[Galaxy S II General] sinjiyo:
me too. I test opera and mini opera. Hum...

not really enjoy.

I think the Odexed hardware accellerated KG1 Browser is better than older with flash etc...

don't update flash player on the market .It does something strange with flash video on the browser.
[Galaxy S II General] cCeT:
that stock browser you are talking about is not hardware accelarated one..it is the old one like htc desire or galaxy s.

I've rarely ever used the stock browser since i got my first real smartphone the HTC HD2 last year always a different browser,on my GS2 i use X-Scope and it's by far and away the best available with Miren and Dolphin coming in next,no lag and smooth scrolling.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Fysi:
Just thought that I would let you know that I got the SGS2 the release week before any ROMs had been released. So I do know what I am on about. Opera Mobile completely obliterated it with smoothness and non checkbox ness and not looking like ****.

do i miss something ???
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Mate you should use my whole framework jar file because there are some odexed file that have been deodexed modified and odexed back in order to get the power menu button working in accorder to theme settings application also framework-res.apk has been modified accordly.

In addition make sure you do a wipe factory reset and a dalvik cache wipe.

im not saying you dont know anything about phones.just said that the stock browser on that comperation is not galaxy s2's browser.

galaxy s2's browser almost 2 times faster than htc sensation which sensation has better result than the epic 4G.

Tomorrow morning i.e. this morning i will post a new release of my custom rom here on xda.

Stay tuned!

i already downloaded your rom on hdblog, but the thing is market is not opening. Thas is the loading screen dont go away and who the market at all.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Did you make sure to wipe everything before installing? Market is working fine here
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Try to wipe market data: settings applications manage apps and cancel data for market.

[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
Anyway i uninstalled it and installed a version downloaded from XDA. Market is working fine now. Thanks for ur replies

The problem now i am facing is i am unable to connect to kies. since i have contacts backed up on my pc i am unable to get it back now. I am also facing the same problem in other custom roms. But i am not facing it with Lightening rom. Any help please.
[Galaxy S II General] xinfinityoO:
sweet cant wait ti test that one..as i am already using ur latest one found on the other forum..
[Galaxy S II General] xinfinityoO:
yeah KIES is not working .. not that important .. wait till its fixed by the developer
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
But i really needed my contacts back
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Guys i know that kies is not working right now. I hate samsung kies and i prefer to have contacts syncronyzed with gmail. Nevertheless i will give a look at it in order to get it working...

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
I'm assuming you made a backup of an existing Rom that would have all your contacts on it? If so, restore that Rom and do a Titanium Backup. Reinstall Leo's Rom and restore contacts from TI. Not the most elegant solution but should work
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
When you post the next Rom can you increase voltages slightly? I noticed that I'm getting some wakelock issues when the device is coming out of sleep. Twice while waking the device it wouldn't and required a battery pull. My device might not be able to handle the amount of undervolting used by your kernel :(
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
If you use setcpu and set values as shown in my post #2 (on my forum) you won't have this issue anymore. BTW I'm running a new release of angelo kernel, and i haven't had any problem so far.

I use Opera browser I find it faster than the stock browser. It has hardware acceleration support :)

It also has many configurable options via opera:config command. Whatever you set also stays and doesn't reset on boot.

You can configure options such as user agent, frames rates and picture quality :). I also like the refill after pinch and zoom which isn't available in the stock.
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Thanks. But I can't understand the post on the setcpu section. It's in a different language. Thanks anyway, was just curious how you handle problems with undervolting using setcpu settings.
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Thanks for your advice. I haven't tried opera browser but i compared the stock gs2 browser against skyfire and dolphin hd and i'd say that the winner is the stock browser. I will try opera browser and i will double check it.

However most people still prefer to use the stock browser and what i did was to figure out how to get it working in my custom rom. For sure opera can still be a valid alternative.

[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
You may also consider trying xScope. It's by far the best browser for me in terms of performance
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
I know it's written in italian However you can just look at the picture and set it accordly. The story is this: if you go under 500 Mhz when you enable scaling cpu on demand it is hard for your device to wake up after it has been left long time in standby so if you create a new profile for screen off and you set 500 Mhz as min and max frequency and priority to 100 you won't have any kind of issue.

[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks, will see if the takes care of things. Look forward to trying out the new angelo kernel. If I remember correctly he did good work on the Thunderbolt
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Use Google Chrome, it will auto-detect the language and translate it to your preference (in my case English).
[Galaxy S II General] Annihlist:
Trust me opera is smooth. I dont like the icon though hehe

That's correct! We are working together..

[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Thanks. I also can't see the attached image that's why I asked. So this means when your device is in sleep mode the frequency will be use is stuck at 500mhz?
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Sorry I'm using my phone:p
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Sorry that post wasn't addressed to you. And I find xScope much better than opera :)
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Right! This means that you are saving your battery life.

Guys thanks to you I reckon I'm improving my English a bit hihihihihiihh

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Yeah the image shows (under profiles)

Screen off

Max 500

Min 500

Scaling: Ondemand

Priority: 100%
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
Is there a possibility that the phone will not go to sleep mode using this setting? As compared to 200 min which is the lowest frequency when in sleep mode?
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Never happened so far! However at 1504mhz i found it very stable and i got good results on utuntu benchmark 2011. But I am on a different kernel version.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
That's a good question, don't have the answer off hand. Let me do a little research.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Then I think you need to share the kernel you're running :D
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
can anyone tell me if dolphin hd has hardware acceleration for s2? i like the features
[Galaxy S II General] xinfinityoO:
hi

Could you maybe tell us what configuration u are using for setcpu..for noobs it will be a great help.. some settings/profiles which you could recommend

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
He already told that. Read above :)
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Sure, right now, as I'm testing a new kernel version I do not like to experiment with unsafe settings for SetCpu.

I recommend to set on the main screen:

Max:1504MHz

Min:200MHz

Scaling: ondemand

check Set on Boot

Create a new profile and select "Screen Off"

Profile: Screen Off

Max: 500

Min:500

Scaling: ondemand

Priority: 100

I already explained why i use this settings! Anyhow with this profile your device get stuck at 500MHz while sleeping and there is no problem to wake up it!

Normally, while you are using your handset the CPU freq. scales from 200 up to 1504MHz depending on the load of the cpu!

You can play around with different profile infact it is also possible to set a temp threshold and set the CPU freq at that given value and so on...

As soon as i finish to test this new kernel i will play with all these settings and i will share them!
[Galaxy S II General] xinfinityoO:
thx mate using these settiings as of now.will test it .. so far all good..the ROM is great..cant wait for teh update tomorrow..if its not to late to ask.. the only thing i am missing is the overscroll glow :) wud be great if its in the next update
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Hum, it is not possible for now... As i aready explained, this is an "hybrid" ROM with odexed and deodexed file togheter! If i touch android.policy.jar and framework.jar in order to add code for the overscroll glow effect, the browser doesn't works anymore, to be more precised the rom won't boot! This is because there are dependencies among browser.odex and odex jar file inside framework.

An odex file has dependencies on every "BOOTCLASSPATH" file that is loaded when it is generated. The odex file is only valid when used with these exact BOOTCLASSPATH files. dalvik enforces this by storing a checksum of each file that the odex file is dependent on, and ensuring that the checksum for each file matches when the odex file is loaded.

When you try to deodexing an apk if you don't set the bootclasspath (because you don't get any worning or error msg) by default it has these 5 file: core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar and services.jar

However, some apks have dependencies on additional jar or apks files beyond that of the base 5 jars.

While i was deodexing browser.apk i discovered that it has no other dependencies beyond the jar file inside framework!

To sum up browser.odex and the other odex file inside frameworks live togheter and i can't figure out if it will be possible to hack some of them!

Hope it can help!
[Galaxy S II General] dcargirisc:
your rom has very promising features and i d like to try it ,but i see you have exclude the wifi sharing (tethering?) feature.

could you pls put it back on?

i think it is very usefull ,for every galaxy S2 owner.
[Galaxy S II General] cCeT:
@ LeoMar75

your rom is great but browser forced close a few times even i wiped everything before installing. besides home screen scrolling was laggy.so i changed the kernel with chainfire now everything is ok. quadrant score was 2700 with your kernel after chainfire got 3500.i think your kernel needs to be improved a bit.
[Galaxy S II General] xinfinityoO:
kernel is undervolted .. to save battery.. pluss quadrant scores are meaningless.. if u want higher scores with quadrant use setcpu on his rom and u can get around 4000 as his kernel supports uptil 1.5ghz
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
I think something went wrong with your install. I get 4225 on Quadrant and no lag with browser using LeoMar's kernel
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
First of all Quadrant doesn't have any support for dual core cpu so if you are used to compare custom rom by using that benchmark i'd to say you are totally wrong.

No problem at all with this kernel, therefore I guess you did some mistake during the installation process.

If you are looking for a good benchmark then try utuntu 2011.

[Galaxy S II General] eternauta1949:
Use Antutu or Smartbench for testing
[Galaxy S II General] cCeT:
i know quadrant is not important but as i said the lag problem made me change the kernel. gonna wait for your new release you will share here today.and give it a try again. thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] alexdesa:
In fact I have had problems of wake up, setting min 200 max 500 in profile screen off. I solved by my own setting as you said. Really thank you for your perfect work. Your rom is the best!
[Galaxy S II General] LeoMar75:
Just to let you know that i am opening a new thread on XDA with my own custom rom also i'm uploading a new release v2.1!

For who already has the v2.0 i will release an update!

Changelog v2.1

-New angelom Kernel with CIFS and Sheduler Deadline. In addition you will notice a little boost in performance!

-Removed several apps in data/app such as Flashlight, QuickBoot, Rootexplorer, tegratek 3d (sorry i used rootexplorer for my own testing and i forgot to take it out. As i like to be fair, it would be better to buy that app in order to support developers)

-Bloatware script used by Gscript has been updated. (now the delete script won't delete voice search.apk)

-I themed two toggle btn icons that i forgot in my previous release.
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
So the kernel in this ROM supports tegrak? Great! :)

WAITING with impatience :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
My wife uses a Samsung Vibrant and there are just so many issues with it. Currently, it's on the latest stock Froyo release. It keeps losing all of her home screen icons (using stock TWLaucher) and we have to kill TWLauncher or reboot to get them back. Seems to have lag all over the place. Also, wifi signal strength is poor. The wifi calling app constantly turns off saying the wifi signal isn't good enough.

I'd like be interested in trying out a custom ROM. I've tinkered with some of the leaked ROMs, so I'm familiar with ODIN. I've used CWM on my Droid X before, so I should be ok with that as well.

She's not interested in 100 different themes and fancy icons and fancy features, etc. We are just going to want something that's close to stock with some tweaks that might fix some of the issues we are having. Not interested in partially working ROMs where the GPS doesn't work or issues with the camera, etc. Would like wifi calling to work as well. Need something totally stable. I'm not going to want something that's going to need updating weekly either.

Anything out there that meets what I'm looking for?

Please make suggestions.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekobus:
Hi, same situation here, my gf has stock vibrant with froyo and many issues...

I've cm7 on my N1 so I considered it for the vibrant but at the moment it have troubles with gps and wifi SO I've searched a lot and the much more stable rom (for me of course) is the projectV, it's based on the official froyo with some tweaks and fixes, seems pretty stable until now ;)

here the topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1105037

hope u enjoy it :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
Agreed with nekobus
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
I actually had my eye on that one.

It'll improve the lag and losing icons and things like that? I don't need a lagfix on top of that as well?

I'm not doing this for the eye candy (extra lock screens, etc.), I just want things to run more smoothly.

This probably won't help the low wifi signal though, since it's using the same modem as stock froyo, right?

Anyone else want to chime in?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
It'll definently improve Lag and that icon problem that you have will not happen. And almost every ROM in here has a Lagfix, so Project-V does have one and will come on when you flash it. (A voice of a robotic women after flashing means that Voodoo is flashing) Voodoo is the name of the Lagfix, which makes our systems run on ext4 instead of the slow RFS system stock that your wife had.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
The best thing about Project-V ROM is that its made to be fast and for tweaking, that's why they say they're not competing with Cyanogenmod because it also has both speed and tweaking abilities. So don't worry if you think Project-V is all eye candy, because its both Speed, Stability, and Tweaks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
If anything, I'll probably give this Project V a shot then. My wife will kill me if I F up her phone or cause her to lose stuff.

I flash this with CWM? I don't exactly recall where to get CWM or how to use it, but I'm sure I'll figure that out.

Installing this over stock will be a total data wipe, right? I should back up programs and program data with Titanium first and then restore after?

This does include the lagfix/file conversion? That just happens automatically when I flash this?

Everything works? No serious bugs? I can also flash that wifi calling file in the first post using cwm and then I'll have wifi calling too?

Let's say Samsung releases a 2.3 that's a solid ROM and I want to go back to stock. With this applied and whatever lagfix, file conversion that's been done, how hard would it be to get back to stock?

Anything else I should know?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekobus:
I've rooted the stock froyo, backupped ALL with titanium and then wiped all from cwm and installed projectV, no problem at all but titanium is required :)

About gingerbread.... do you remeber the "froyo story" right? :P I think I seat and wait for the gingerbread version of projectV (or other roms based on official release)! No more stock images in my home please :D :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
Yes, wouldn't be surprised at all if there's never an official 2.3 for this. Their 2.2 release was many months behind competing phones originally released around the same time. Still, just want to make sure I understand what I'm getting into here and how hard it would be to get back out. Could I easily get back to the stock froyo that it's on now, if I need to?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekobus:
