Before, I was using foxhound revolver ocelot rom but recently I've changed to wanamlite 12.0 due to vertumus ICS Domination 4.5 compatibility. Wanamlite 12 rocks not only because you can install ics domination on top of it but it is a clean and stable rom. This is what I can recommend to both of you now :D I'm sticking with Sammy based roms as of now since I am a med student (need my phone to be as stable as possible :P :D) If CM9 becomes stable I would not think twice to flash that rom! :P

The combo of wanamlite12+ics domination4.5+jkay deluxe apk tweaks+apex launcher is a beaut! :D

FM App

Hi Guys

If you miss FM radio you can get this in the link provided:

http://www.mediafire.com/?f43kmcm4dbmfhey

Just install it and set Regional band to "North america" ;

and Method to “Galaxy S2 Test” under Settings->Audio in the app.

Don't worry about the regional band, it works i'm using it right now:)

Give credits/thanks to my friend coolstorybro_123 he gave permission to the link:)
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
I would consider myself fairly new to this though I had my S2 for about 9 months now. I stuck myself with stock rooted ROMs being cautious of warranty. I've only started using a custom ROM lately and so far I'm having fun with it. It will actually depend on how you use your phone as to what ROM will you use. :cool:

Guys what modem is the best in our country? After installing wanamlite and analyzing battery usage I've found out that its lp9 modem is causing more wakelocks than normal (connectivityservice, more RILJ than ever). I've just installed lp7 modem which I remember is what samsung provided natively here in our country. I'll analyze the bat usage today :)
[Galaxy S II General] digitallysick:
Why dont you guys use CM9? I see most people here don't seem to use it, whats the reason?
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
I had a bad experience experience with CM9, going through an endless boot loop no matter how data wipe, fix permission, and clearing the 2 cache I perform... guess it just isn't built for my phone. Resurrection Remix works like a charm on the other hand, so I stuck with it.

...although I think the kernel on the version 2.2 uses a CM kernel :D
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I'm waiting for a stable release. Don't wanna update my phone everyday for the bug fixes. It is very important that I have a stable phone since I am a student, need it for texting and calling whenever I'm outside :P Don't want my phone hanging when the moment matters the most :D On the other hand though, I am very excited to see cm9 stable. If it releases then I'll flash it right away! :D As of now though I'm sticking with sammy roms. wanamlite12+ics domination4.5jkay+siyah3.2.5.2 now since the combo is very stable, customizable and offers eye candy goodness :D

Oh and another thing for cm9, I don't quite get why the need to flash a new bootloader. Flashing a bootloader is risky so I'm still searching and reading things about bootloaders as of now. I want to know every nook and cranny before I install new things in my phone (I don't wanna have an expensive paperweight) :)

How's your experience with RR? Is it good? Any bugs worth mentioning? If I understood correctly AOKP means AOSP+more added tweaks. Does this mean the bugs on CM9 is present in RR? I'm thinking of flashing RR. Looks kind of cool :)
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I used to use cm9. I just got bored by stock ics look. I missed sammy stock ics :D
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Same here... I stuck on stock ROMs for quite some time until I understand (to some extent) the advantages and disadvantages of using custom ROMS. So far, taking the risk was well worth it. My experience in RR is so far smooth, albeit some bugs (data goes down below 3G despite setting it on HSDPA/HSUPA only, rare times colors are inverted). I would like to think that some of the bugs in CM9 were addressed since this is AOKP but there are some others more experienced can shed light on this for us. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
One of these days I'll flash RR. You don't need any custom bootloaders with that right? Just wipe everything and flash? Though I think I've read that it is not advised in cm9 based roms to restore from titanium. This is one of the major setbacks for me.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
I guess I haven't read enough yet, as I installed RR 2.1 and later on 2.2, both using Titanium to back up and restore my apps. It worked well for me though, except Opera Mobile that force closes. I had to clear its data before it came out fine again.

No need for custom bootloaders per my experience, and yes, just do the whole wipe thing and flash. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
+1! :D its nice to know that titanium backup can be used. well then, I think I'll flash that rom when I have the time this weekend! :D
[Galaxy S II General] JB calhoun:
Clear cache in settings

sent from team perfections ics rom
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I think there are no custom bootloaders as of the moment because flashing it is dangerous if y failed. Everybody uses the sammy stock bootloader :D
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
while on topic. when you flashed cm9 did you flash the corresponding bootloader it is asking in the cm9 instructions? :D
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Nope. Gb bootloaders were ok and i still have it since i didn't flash any bootloaders. But just for curiosity i flashed the bootloder on the cm9's OP. I think it was just stock, the one from samsung :)
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
oh ok. thanks for the info :D I got my phone just this february and it came preloaded with GB 2.3.6 i think? I then upgraded to ICS through kies; after which I installed many custom roms after. I never flashed any bootloaders along the way. Does this mean that I still have the GB bootloader? :D

-----------------

BTW I think I've finally found the best combo firmware for my phone. wanamlite12+siyah3.2.5.2+lp7modem. Best battery consumption I've seen. Have sent sms, quick glances at fb and twitter and watched anime throughout the duration of screen on time. 1hr 48mins at 80%. Very satisfied! :D Excited to see the results after battery is completely drained :)

Hi dude,

I'm using Remix ROM and in versions 1.9 to 2.0 it was not stable, it gave wifi problems for me and other users as well. But it is fixed now and it is the stock kernel for version 2.2.

Btw, this is the link for the CM9 kernel used for Remix v.2.2 and latest release as well (05/30/2012) incase u want it.:)

http://www.mediafire.com/?l747yyozfaby7yc
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I just thought of this now, since I am using siyah, what if I try to install cm9 as my secondary rom to see if my bootloader can load cm9? Will this prove to be a good testing process? :P
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Yes, you can try that. If not the flash the bootloader in the first post of cm9. Remeber the risk and i will not be held accountable for anything :D anyway, it goes well with any roms weather it is aosp or sammy roms. :)
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
That's the part when I stopped trying to install CM9... :D
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
Yup I know the risk. :) If my bootloader doesn't load cm9 at second rom dual boot, I'll stop there. I won't install the cm9 bootloader. I'm scared, lol. :P If I do that I might end up losing my sgs2 and buy that cherrymobile 500+php phone! Hahaha

a not so technical question :) how do you add album art? is it per MP3 or per album where you can just drop ang image file and will auto detect?
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
It seems like you can do it either way, but I prefer to do it per MP3.. I use TCM Music Tag Editor for that.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I prefer mp3 tag editing also. iTag is an android app that does just that and it can search the album art for you. Whenever I am using my laptop, I use iTunes for tagging :D

How to Factory Reset Phone to Stock Firmware

Referring to the posts ng mga iba about restoring firmware to stock, sa kahit anong firmware basta hindi mo na set ng maayos ang CSC hindi talaga siya marerecognize ng kies. Lalong lalo na yung mga ibang firmware na hindi official like KH3.

WARNING: Always backup your data. Use a program like MyBackupPro from the Android Market and copy your important files to your external SD.

Para ma set ng maayos ang CSC:

1. Buksan ang dialer at i type mo to: *#272*yung IMEI mo#

2. Choose XTC. Tapos magrereboot yung phone. Pero remember iwiwipe niya lahat ng contents except internal SD and external SD.

Note: Pag hindi DX ang start ng firmware na flinash mo sa phone mo like XXKI8 etc walang Philippine (XTC) CSC yun. Use any other CSC na makita mo dun like XEU or NEE etc.

WARNING: Kailangan i-close ang Kies pag nagflaflash using Odin kasi nagcoconflict silang dalawa.

Para ma restore sa stock or tamang firmware para sa pinas gawin mo to:

1. Pumunta ka sa thread na to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

2. I download mo kahit anong firmware na nagstastart sa DXblablabla. Basta DX yung simula. Preferably yung sa dulong part ng first post kasi yun yung bago. Wag dodownload sa "Frankenstein" area kasi hindi official firmware yung mga yun.

3. I-double click yung file pag natapos magdownload para ma extract. Buksan ang odin tapos ilagay mo yung extracted file sa PDA part. Wag galawin ang ibang settings. Ilagay ang phone sa download mode (patayin ang phone at ihold down ang volume down+menu+power button ng sabay sabay hanggang may lumabas na android mascot). Tapos isaksak na sa odin at i-flash ang firmware.

4. Pag na flash mo na sa odin, ipaboot mo yung phone.

5. Buksan ang dialer at i type mo to: *#272*yung IMEI mo#

6. Choose XTC. Tapos magrereboot yung phone. Pero remember iwiwipe niya lahat ng contents.

7. Para sigurado mag hard factory reset na rin. Buksan ang dialer at i type: *2767*3855# This will wipe everything including yung data sa INTERNAL SD card na kasama sa phone (16gb). Hindi mawiwipe yung external SD card mo.

8. Parang galing factory na phone mo with the latest software na legal. This way, makakaclaim ka ng warranty.

Troubleshooting:

Pag ayaw magboot ng phone at na stuck sa bootloop (yung paulit ulit lang siyang nagrereboot) don't panic, kailangan lang magboot sa recovery at magwipe ng data.

1. Hold down ang power button para i-off ang phone.

2. Hold down volume UP+home button+power button hanggang magboot sa recovery.

3. Select factory reset, then confirm. Tapos select wipe cache, then confirm.

4. Select reboot phone pag natapos.

For the best signal/data speed:

Usually using our Philippine modems are the best choice because we can assume na tinest yung modem na yung for our country/region. Kaya for me, so far ang best signal and data speed modem na nagamit ko ay ang DXKI1. Kahit anong firmware version ang gamiting mo pwede mo naman gamitin ang Philippine modem.
[Galaxy S II General] blue4004:
But is it possible na hindi mag work ang gprs?

Cause nung nag update ako sa kies di na nagwowork gprs ko, naactivate ko siya pero kahit sinasabi na running siya, di naman ako nakakakuha ng connection :(
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
What to you mean? Walang data connection? Reboot your phone or go to a place na better ang signal. Sometimes nawawalan din ako because of Globe/Smart and not because of the phone. Be sure to turn on data under Settings>Wifi>Network>Data
[Galaxy S II General] blue4004:
Hmm but I already tried it sa iba't ibang places and sa places na dati nakaka connect ako. if i turn on yung sa data packet setting, lumalabas yung icon sa top ng screen pero di parin ako nakaka kuha ng connection kaya di ko alam if it's because of the update. parang diba usually 2 arrows na nag bliblink yun ang nagblilink lang is yung green arrow pointing upwards, does that mean something?
[Galaxy S II General] kulot:
nakaka adik magflash ng ROM! hehe
[Galaxy S II General] ryn888:
Hahaha... ingat ka bro kagaya ng. Custom binary mo baka ma void warrantym need mo ng usb jig para ma reset...

[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I experienced that too. It means may problem sa Smart or Globe. Data connection is not always stable. Sometimes meron sometimes wala. Try going out to a different location like from Manila to Makati or changing location now. If ayaw pa rin then report back here.
[Galaxy S II General] kulot:
Thanks man! Finally figured it out. My SGS2 is now rooted, running GB 2.3.5 with XKI8, no issues so far. Apir!
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Supported ng Globe ang fast dormancy so wag mo patayin.

Glad to help! :)
[Galaxy S II General] pongster:
Th ROM doesn't flash a modem for you as its really based on personal preference and testing... I use KI3 modem and I don't have any signal problems... dati sa KG6 hirap kumuha ng signal kaya ang lakas kumain ng battery... personal testing ko lang yan, so YMMV.

H, based on my understanding is the HSDPA signal of Smart.. in some areas I even get the H+ and am able to get 4-5MBps :D

[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I'm just wondering and I can't shrug off the fear. :P I've been searching for situations in xda if it is possible to brick your phone with dual boot. This is if the 2nd rom is not compatible with the bootloader and haven't found any answers. Say I have wanam in first rom and cm9 in second rom, if cm9 is not compatible with my bootloader, will my phone cease to boot up? Or cm9 (second rom) will just be the one that won't boot up? Thanks in advance for the help. Damn I'm so noobish haha :P :D
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
Ako I've tried CM9 before kaso di ko type. Why?

- puro software mode lang pwede when playing videos. So onti lang ma play at laggy pa. Lakas din sa batt ng SW decode mode.

- yung external SD ay nasa ibang loc, so di compatible ibang apps like Airdroid.

It will be just cm9 that won't boot up since flashing a to the 2nd rom won't flash any kernel. So you are pretty safe there. I also checked cm9's script and it has a fail safe system. I.e you installed a cm9 rom for i9000, it won't let you because it checks for comoatible modek first before flashing. It checks the build.prop i think.

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
That's not really surprising since it hasn't got all the Sammy bloatware that they love to add on their ROMS. AOKP and AOSP performances are largely similar. In the end its good to pick one that works best for you with your apps.
