Running this now and ehh. it needs work. i thought ki3 was good but they felt the need to add some fancy oversroll effects and other nonsense but it clearly isn't finished. the new launcher is pretty quick and cool though. It has looping scrolling which i like.

To anyone that has this ROM loaded, are you able to play YouTube videos? For me, any YouTube video was showing up as a rainbow screen. That is, it was like I was watching a video of a rainbow screen. The sound worked and everything else in the app worked fine. The screen rotated to full-screen in landscape too. It's just the video itself that rainbowed.

Just curious if it is a bug in the ROM (shocker right? LOL) or if I just had a botched odin install or something.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
You have to wait least till the media scanner is finished before you open any flash, videos, or the camera app.

reboot the phone and let it sit for 10minutes. it has to do with the bootloaders being incompatible with the kernel. It cant be fixed till the devs have source code but when we have that there will be bootloaders which will be the true fix. There are rogers based custom kernels with a fix applied but they don't support hdmi or wifi with this ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jvanlew:
Ah yes, I remember reading about this now in some older posts. I came to the Infuse in late August and I believe there was a fixed GB kernel from LB by then.

Thanks for the refresher. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
Nice job!

Runs smoothly and can easily go back and forth between stock and entropy's kernel.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] djdd0201:
Thanks guys...put the earlier version of this ROM on my Infuse this morning and everything worked good except for receiving calls. Everytime someone called me it would ring once and then it would drop all the service...weird. So I found you guys and realized that this was a newer version and slapped it on to my phone and it worked. The other version was the SGH-I997_I997UCKI4_UC_ATT in case someone wants to look it up and take a peek at that nightmare that was my morning....by the way this is my first time on here and might be a little excited because I did this without bricking the phone...lol THANKS AGAIN!!!

The ugly overscroll effects were added because of an Apple lawsuit.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
What? Samsung needs better lawyers. And apple needs to quit that ****. And people need to stop believing is responsible modern smart phones. Apple only popularized them and made them for the non tech geek. Spreading this stupid belief only give spoke a sense of entitlement to have exclusivity to features of the iPhone. Some things are just plain logical. Its like parenting the wheel or the concept of a book. What if the world had only one publisher/it just doesn't work.

How do we root this? I've tried Gingerbreak not working, tried superoneclick not working either.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Face palm

I made a whole thread on rooting with a custom kernel using heimdall and it got no attention, the Rogers root thread covered this already and its stickied. I've answered the question several times and it has been known since 2.3.3 that root is not able to be pushed with rage against the cage methods anymore.. I won't stand for belligerent noobism! This devices is one of the last too get gingerbread and this should be considered common Android knowledge by note that rioting needs some trickery now, nor to mention that Samsung and our great devs made it insanely easy for us.

Google it! For the love of good use google, this site even has a custom google search and a thread search, use them!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eowyn:
Hey genius! I would not ask if I've known the answer, I do my own research before I ask questions and I do use Google. If you don't feel like answering my question just let me be instead of ridiculing people like me who are Not so technologically knowledgeable like you! I don't need people like you! As if you have known all that you know now from the beginning? You also learned from other people no matter what you say, you also used others work even if you studied on your own! You self righteous man!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanElliott:
U know dani's kinda right. Nobody reads anything. Sometimes the answer is right in front of u. If u don't wanna read then u shouldnt be here. Its like school. U have to try before u ask. And I learned that. I know much more about rom development and Modding and tweaking then I knew when I got my infuse. Also have some respect. I get where he's coming from. You gotta realize somebody isn't there to hold your hand and guide you through everything in life.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eowyn:
You know what, I am a very respectful person to a person who deserves respect. I can be a very good friend a man could have. I learned using the computer just by watching others do it and by reading, self taught. I learned how to flash ROMs by reading through the forums, have had several phones and flashed ROMs on them because I love to flash and try different ROMs and change them almost everyday. And not even bragging, I even helped other people by fixing their soft bricked phones by asking them to send their phones to me so I can fix them for "free" as long as I know how to fix them. I don't give "sermons" to people who ask questions, you yourself ask questions also as I have read on your threads as you yourself want to learn from others also, don't you? Asking "noobish" questions as you Intellectual people call does not mean that the person asking the question is "too lazy" to look for solutions themselves but maybe because they are really "new" to this kind of things and would like try them out, and want to learn from you "gifted" people. Don't you ask questions from your Professors? Does your Professor or Teacher tell you to "Google it" to answer your question? Not all people are as smart as you guys. Just post the link to answer the question posted if you want to help and just ignore it if you don't want to help. I do hope that when you ask someone a question, people won't tell you "Google It" to find your answer. I've seen you ask other developers questions on other threads, they did not tell you to "Google It".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I gave of hints on where to find answers. If you weren't so busy defending your ignorance you could have rooted your phone by now. I don't understand how someone can use Odin to flash this and not figure this out.

Let me reiterate, "I have answered the question several times." Search for the question in different forms and threads.

"I wrote a tutorial on rooting with a custom kernel using heimdall that was ignored." Search for that thread

Rooting with a kernel is covered in the Rogers root thread which is stickied" hint its the same as rooting a Rogers phone read that thread!

Sorry if you don't like my attitude but I was being helpful if you could look past that. You won't make me feel guilty. if I have questions I try to keep it to yes/no answers, or "where can I find..." Or I have ... What am I missing?" Type things. not to mention that rooting is probably answered somewhere in this thread or the tread for am earlier leak.

I have an attitude because I've tried to push flash tools like Odin and heimdall and get people too get or of the cwm box since the kernels were originally posted. It is easier and faster and if you mess up at least you know how to get download mode and flash the phone again to fix it. People hang on to cwm a and all the little variations and work around fixes that go into using it on a new phone to the point that I can only describe it add belligerence. The kernel root method has been around a while, I first saw it on the intercept I got for my mom, it was around before that, it piped up on the captivate and was ignored there too. on XDa people are just afraid to try Odin on Samsung phones. They'd rather complain about Goole and Samsung putting up road blocks which are actually security measures and muscle through them with hex edited recovery files and security exploits than try to use something easier for the end user.

I also just switched from the iPhone to the S2. I have had a iPhone since THE iPhone so this was a big decision for me.

For the most part, there is no comparison. The S2 is so much better.

But...and there always is one isn't there?

I am now thinking about switching back. The one big hold up I have right now is sending videos via MMS. With the iPhone, ANY video I shot could be sent. No matter the size, the duration or the settings. I always shot video at the highest quality and could send them any time later.

Can't do that with the S2. 1000k limit. That sucks.
[General Topics] Matriak31:
Bloody hell thats one long long story...Some parts i agree with you some i dont.

Apps yes hands down appstore is the best..If i was you i would not be posting about Installous and about the same for android cause its against the rules here my friend.

Display i have to say the S2 beats the retina anyday...Sorry i had iphone 4 and although i loved it for me the S2 is perfect you cant beat AMOLED..But again thats my opinion.

Jailbreaking and rooting...il be honest i find jailbreaking alot more easier and simple to do than rooting....Regarding downgrading to a previous version on the iphone that was pretty easy to but sometimes right painful...Just factory reset the phone and you got as it was out of the box.....Well i always managed to find a way just incase i messed up..

Anyway im happy with the S2 it does what i want and most of the apps i manage to live with...I cant see myself without it and only as time will come we will see more quality apps coming in the market..

Next upgrade for me..Galaxy S3...Be sure to find out that will be a world beater my friend...Nice post though very good reading
[General Topics] buxz777:
the limit is usaully set by the network not the phone (its usaully 300kb for mms)

unless your talking about sharing online via youtube or facebook etc ???

there is no way you sent a hd video longer then 10-20 seconds via mms on the iphone
[General Topics] yeahmon:
I too have been an iPhone owner since it's inception. I toyed around with an Android phone I bought from Craigslist earlier in the year just to see what all the fuss was about. It was an HTC something or another on AT&T. I REALLY wanted to like the Android OS, but I hated that phone. I had to charge it every 3-4 hours, even WITH Juice Defender running. I promptly sold it on Craigslist for more money than I paid for it, so that was a lose/win.

I went back to my iPhone 4, which was tried and true. Then one day, I dropped it on it's face, and spiderwebbed the screen. My entire life was on that phone. Thankfully, I have a no-questions asked warranty from Squaretrade, and they fixed it for $50. (Would have cost me $150 from local iRepairman). I needed a phone to use while it was on vacation, so I bought the Galaxy S brand new on Craigslist for $200 cash. Again, I decided to try to give the Android OS another chance. (I also have a Xoom, and make love to it every day. It KILLS my iPad, but thats another write.)

My iPhone4 came back fixed after a week, but I have yet to reactivate it. I continued to woo the Galaxy S.

When the Galaxy S2 was released. I had a dilemma. Wait for the iPhone 5 and hope it went to the 4.5" screen, (which would have been THE selling point for me), or buy the Samsung Galaxy S2. As soon as the iPhone4S was announced, it was decided. I went straight to the ATT store and upgraded to my Galaxy S2.

I have had it for a week now, and I can say, this IS a fantastic device, if not the best I have ever owned. While I can agree with most of the OP's remarks, the iPhone is a dummies phone. It is no-frills out-of-the-box, and it just works. To also mention, I had a PhoneSuit on it, which gave me 2-3 days battery life without a recharge. The PhoneSuit is amazing. I would only hope they would make one for the S2. The Android phones take some tweaking to get them to work like you want. I expect to see a flood of accessories before x-mas.

I will leave the verdict out on which brand I like better. I enjoyed the no-frills of the iPhone, but I love the Android phone too. It is a true nerds phone.
[General Topics] MuddyPaws1:
Well it was for sure better resolution than the "record for mms" setting on the S2. And the iPhone did the conversion on the fly. So you could take the video in HD today, and a week from now send it to someone via MMS. You can't do that with the S2. You have to know you are going to send it via MMS and record it in that setting. Which means you can't also use that video to send to youtube or use on your computer because the quality is terrible.
[General Topics] Matriak31:
think you should just switch over mate..you sound like an iphone boy through and through...be honest if the 4s was a tad bigger i would of gone for it as well but like i said im happy with what i got now;)
[General Topics] buxz777:
iam sorry but through mms the limit is set by the network which is 300kb - 600kb

if i take a video and add it to my sms , the sms turns into a mms , it then converts the picture/video small enough if it can ie it wont be able to ahrink a 30min hd video into 300kb

i dont have to take the video in mms settings the sgs2 can convert things on the fly and does , what it doesnt do is make the impossible happen and shrink a 30mb file into 300kb

the iphone wouldnt either i have owned one (the iphone4) it cant magically make a video shrink from 30mb-300mb into 300kb , as you say the quality would be horrendous even on a small video taken in mms mode , so a longish clip shot in hd would look just as bad if not worse

the iphone works on exactly the same principal so i dont understand your post and your problem isnt even a problem?? try adding an 8mp photo to your sms , its over 1mb and hus to be shrunk , everytime i do this my sgs2 says converting .... then adds the picture :-)

seriously mate the sgs2 does convert media but it cant do the impossible and make the alps fit in your car garage at home :-)

The S2 does not convert on the fly. I have a 20 second video I shot on the S2 and it will not send it...tried with many MMS apps and it always says file too big.

Thank you dikai_yang and taking time writing and for posting.

As for many others commenting Ipone vs. SGS2 you seems to have good insight and have taken time to write in a educational way that many of us could learn a bit from.

If you later take your time writing about your experiences I would definitely read it.

[General Topics] Kailkti:
The only point I do not agree with or am knowledgeable enough to disagree is Rooting vs Jail breaking. Firstly root for me means being able to do anything with your device. Meaning the ability change roms, kernels and aspects of the system.

Now rooting in some phones do not or did not have such a privilege. Phones like droid 2, x10, droid x. These phones you could "root", meaning say the ability to use titanium backup or root explorer. In other words gain superuser access. What you could not do was change kernels, which is the heart of a rom.

So the point you are making about rooting on Android being easier isn't entirely true since some phones do not actually have "true root".
[General Topics] BrandoHD:
Sorry, but you started off on the wrong foot and because of that, you never got on a good track.

There us no such thing an unbiased review, what you have written is your personal feelings on two vastly different mobile operating systems. Trying to pass it off as a review is only trying to fool oneself and others, while you have pointed out a few facts, you filled it with too much opinion because some of the very things you see as weaknesses, I see as strengths, e.g size, I had an iPhone at the same time I had a blackberry and i hated using the iphone because it was too small, now that I have the sgs2 I sometimes wonder if this phone is enough, I am able to use the phone with one hand easily and most importantly, it gives me the type of feel I want when I am typing using two hands, just like the blackberry I use for work.

Also, I see you tried to take choice of different hardware and turn it into a weakness, it is not, if you are satisfied with one phone per year, that's personal, meanwhile, I like the idea of having the ability of upgrading my phone hardware if I see fit before a year is up, secondly the iphone is not a "good phone for all" its one size screen, no hardware keyboard no different, with android, every individual can have the choice of a phone with hardware that they want, it you want a good camera, you can have that, hardware keyboard, smaller or bigger screen, or should all other pc manufacturers close offices and we all use dell GX 240s.

Also, not everyone can afford an iPhone, android has high, medium and low range handset so that everyone can get a taste of using a proper smartphone with a proper smartphone OS, I rather to buy a low end handset made in 2011 than a 3GS from 2009.

Now while you I can go and rebut all of your points against android, I can even take the strengths you gave android and turn it in favor of the iphone, what's important is that we all understand that there are over 6 billion people out here, and unless it's a fact like "we need oxygen" everything is a matter of opinion, personal opinion and we tend to forget that our opinions only count for ONE. Using a Samsung Galaxy S II doesn't and cannot make you an "unbiased" judge of Android and then have you the authority to pass your opinion off as "an unbiased review" of both operating systems.

Have you used vanilla android extensively, what about HTC Sense, have you considered what other people may want from their phone. Doesn't seem like it. You have effectively compared iOS to Samsung's implementation of android. While your review may assist someone on the fence, let it be known that this is a personal review, not to be taken as fact.

Would have gone on, but I have to sleep.

[General Topics] dikai_yang:
I guess I should've stressed my "unbiased" statement as that I wanted to provide an informative comparison of two specific phones NOT as a fanboy of either phone. As you can see from my post I don't particularly defend one phone over the other. And yeah, it's definitely personal but based on facts (ie. the part about battery and multitasking).

When I was on Nokia years back, lots of Nokia fanboys talk bad things about the iphone without ever using one (many of them do use it now, haha). And of course the iphone fanboys would not say a good thing about an android phone and say bad thing about it based on guesses. But having used both intimately, I was hoping my post can bring some facts to the potential user of one of these two phones. Hopefully I've done an okay job.

I cant figure the 'cost' of iPhones.. i just got my Galaxy S2 Friday, and i could sell it now, and possibly get about 350 euro here in dublin for it secondhand - a guy who works with me has sold multiple iphones - and only the other week he got 450 euro for a iphone 4 16gb with a scratch on the screen locked on vodafone.. now most people would probably agree that the S2 is at least the equal of the iphone 4 - some would say its much better..

Apple have done a great job inflating the price of their product. I would love to get an iphone for my wife, but the cost of the handset, coupled with very high contracts means its hard to justify (she's always wanted one)

I paid 150 euro for my S2 and pay 22 euro a month for my contract.. i could get an iphone 4 on contract for free, but it would be a min 2 year contract and 45 euro a month..

+1

most of the drivel about iPhones on here is from Apple fanboys masquerading as SGSII users but this is probably the best comparasion ive read yet, i would agree with 80% of what the OP said with the exception of the display and battery life where i believe the SGSII wins again.

For me the ONLY real advantage the iPhone 4 has is the App store but it's not all about apps, no doubt Android market will in time catch up anyway.
[General Topics] :
blah blah iphone this blah blah iphone is that.......look GS2 forum....iphone has its good points and has its bad..same with the beauty im holding right now(yes its megan fox)im talking about ;) anyway iphone 4s same design as it was last year with just an internal upgrade inside. now the internal upgrade inside is a very powerful one indeed. but come on make the display a bit bigger at least..that would appeal to the many people out there now. as regarding siri....android had vlingo for god knows how long now...so about apple making that innovating please..they went out and put the company that made siri and just stuck it in the iphone...so no innovation there....plus who wants to be walking around and looking like a prick talking to a voice control assistant anyway...(although it does look sweet indoors)

im not having a bash cause im an old iphone user...this apple vs android to me it is just plain stupid....choice for the consumer i say and they can choose what they like..like jonny said above the only bad thing about the android is that the market is lacking behind the appstore...but its getting there so hopefully we will see more quality apps coming to android in general..

and another thing..samsung do release flagship phones once a year....yes you have the different variants of the flagship phone in different regions but its still the same underneath the hood with the tad exception....

what would make life alot easier is a global release for all regions and thats how we can see how the s3 will fair..
