Hey everyone! How are all of you? Have not been here since my S2 days! The Note 2 is awesome in case any of you wish to upgrade. We also have a forum like this in the Note 2 section. See you there! :)

[Galaxy S II General] haramizuki:
The Note 2 is awesome indeed. I would've traded my S2 at MOA yesterday to Samsung for the Note 2. But I want to keep my S2. My lock period will end on July 2013, so I have to wait until I can upgrade :( maybe S4 is out by then. Or I'll just wait for Note 3? Lol

That offer was irresistible indeed, the thing is I've already grown attached to my S2 (I can hear Smeagol say, "My Precious...." :silly:). As long as the community provides support to this phone, I'm gonna hang on to it for a while.
[Galaxy S II General] mundixx:
That offer sounds good. What were the terms?
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
AFAIK, trade your old smartphone and get up to 50% discount on a new Note 2... I'm thinking they had some criteria to get the full discount though. :confused:

its 4.04

i updated mine this afternoon

way better than 4.03. all the bugs in 4.03 are gone lol

I feel that the phone is smoother. battery seems to be okay. got it on wifi for 9 hours, from 97 it just dropped to 83 percent. well with just yahoomail, gmail, and whatsapp on that is

at first glance nothing has changed. no nature UX lol. same touchwiz plus the goodies like battery percentage, etc etc

At last... source code for Exynos family 4 will be released by the end of this year. Our phones will truly live long and prosper! :thumbup:

4.0.4 is the polished version of the previous release, and is the base of many custom ROMs' stable releases. Just you wait 'till Jellybean is out, it'll be a lot better :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Abaddon:
jellybean will be out for most samsung device nov 13 onwards. :)

as for the source code for exynos. yeah that's good news but I hope they really do release it. they often say things like that but never do it. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Girghe:
True.

For Samsung regarding releasing of source codes, one should always apply the saying "to see is to believe" (so no hard feelings if they don't lol). :silly:

oh finally the 4.0.4, contacts and phone dialer tab can easily be switched. just like in GB.

macro seems liked improved but not that much.

phone feels faster. i just noticed that some apps FCs.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
yup phone feels faster or is literally faster. scrolling is really fast lol

no fc on apps so far. battery life looks good. will have to let rom stabilize some more perhaps. too early to tell

did not do FR, left it as is

once i notice FCs then i might do a factory reset.

are those apps that fc side loaded? i got no problems with all apps from play store. didnt try my sideloaded apps yet
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
^ app that FCs are all from Play. One time when i was 4.0.3, it restarted itself and went on "upgrade mode" as if it was from 2.3.6. then after upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. it got stuck in the installing applications. i had to restart and it continued again from the "installing applications" but this time successful.

camera is acting up (sometimes). :( takes time to load preview or starting it.
[Galaxy S II General] mixtapes08:
I didn't. Someone advice it to me. I did get my galaxy nexus from kimstore tho for 17k now it's just 16500. It's much better if you get a new one..

[Galaxy S II General] Girghe:
By the way francis820, what's your over all experience with the new Resurrection Remix? :) I'm trying out different ROMs but so far I'm liking RootBox (with default CM kernel) a lot. Stable, fast enough, decent battery life and cool (temp). I also tried Super Nexus + Dori which gave super smooth results but I felt like it runs a bit hot and I like to modify/theme some stuff. I will probably switch to Dorimax kernel when he's done fixing the sound problem.

Just came from ICS 4.0.3 and was holding out for a while (upgrading)... got bored and decided to root and flash ROMs. lol :silly:
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
The newest version is the best I've used so far. I've only had 1 FC so far which usually happens in MX Player. I used to have long battery life but I'm deducing possible culprits such as Dorimanx kernel (just updated to 7.4.2) or the LPW modem (which I really doubt it) because I'm having unusual battery drains on Wifi. For lack of more technical info, I'll describe it as as if I'm using data. I'll probably switch back to Siyah if I'm still having this Wifi batt drain after 3 days. I really want Dori to work 'cause of the Mali drivers though..
[Galaxy S II General] blancer:
those who updated to dxlpf, do this rom still have the brick bug? thanks.

Just flash Siyah Kernel afterwards and you will have nothing to worry about.

[Galaxy S II General] haramizuki:
Any one here uses pdroid? In your opinion, which is better, the usual pdroid or the new pdroid 2.0?

Im using 2.0 but I might revert to the old one cos im having fc on the pdroid app, but no problems with any app or system app. :confused:

I think 2.0 automatically sets your newly installed apps to random or whatever you chose in pdroid settings.

one question, how do i root ms S2 after flashing DXLPF? i use to root using cf-root but right now there's no available cf-root kernel for DXLPF?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Good question... looks like Chainfire hasn't released one yet, but you may follow his thread here.
[Galaxy S II General] daimler1727:
I used to have CF-root before I upgraded to DXLPF. Since I wanted to root it (because I make use of apps that needs root), I resorted to Siyah Kernel. It was supposed to be temporary but I just got spoiled with it most specially the battery performance.

Mine has been on it for two days already. So far, so good. No issues yet so far. No FCs. No nothing. :)

Sir, it runs awesome. Battlife i get 5 hours screen on time at least. The surgeon is there as an option in case you wanna strip down the base of unuseful apps. Different surgeon, different apps removed. As for signal, its with your modem which neither the surgeon or the base rom touches. In other word its up to the user to switch modems. Im using ki3 modem but honestly kahit anong modem gamitin dito sa pinas, mahina talaga signal compared sa ibang bansa. Rarely would you get green under phone signal sa battery usage screen. Hope this helps.

Soft brick is fo example you get stuck on the bootscreen or keep getting bootloops. I just learned the hard way. Got stuck, had to read xda forums and made it work again. But its a scary experience. So to make things simple, just use the base rom and flash the surgeon u want. Run it as the makers intened it to be ran. No oc or uv to be sure. :) just my two cents bro.

Guys can our sgs2 phone have satellite GPS that can be used offline? or only online GPS?

If yes, how do you use it? what app? TIA.
[Galaxy S II General] kelvs:
the only reason why you need data for GPS is to download the "maps". latest version of google maps lets you download a few areas so you won't need to be online to use google maps.

google maps -> more -> labs -> precache

go on wifi and download your designated area first.

although locking on the gps satellite without data sometimes takes a while.
