Well, tried CM 7.1...compared to InsertCoin I was running it is pretty weak...the insert coin is far better as far as stability...as soon as I opened market it crashed, settings, crash....etc...

Nandroid restore to insertcoin and smiles again!
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
hmmm.... so? what ROM should i download? CM7? or InsertCoin? what do you recommend guys?
[G2 and Desire Z General] costipl:
Why don't you just try yourself? Would take much less time than reading about personal preferences of people ;)

I never tried CM and probably won't in a visible timeframe, because I chose HTC over Samsung because of Sense (and the fact that my operator had the DZ dirt cheap compared to others :P ).
[G2 and Desire Z General] barryweston:
I prefer InserCoin. More complete for the device. CM7.1 is okay...but like the last person said, sense is why some ppl like htc...buy htc...etc.

It is all personal preference, but from what I have found so far...sense roms, insertcoin included are much nicer on the device...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] scoot05redss:
So I'm very tempted to make the jump to CM7, but I really like the Camera included with the Stock Rom. In my previous experiences with CM7, I've not been too happy with the camera app. On my Atrix 4G I installed the MIUI 1.7 Camera app and it was better but lacked FFC support and still didn't have the same quality and the stock app. So my question and request is for people to post pictures they have taken with maybe both or one of the Roms. I wanna see the differences. I would appreciate any pics! Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the AOSP screen shots, I'm a little more interested in pictures taken with the camera apps on the 2 different Roms!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] saltytostitos:
Gotcha. I sorry!

On cm7 you can't focus by pressing the screen. It only focuses on the center with the shutter button.

Also image is only wide and fills screen at 2.5 mp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] scoot05redss:
Meh, Looks like i'm sticking with the stock based Roms for now. Unless the quality of the pictures it takes is close to the same!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
It takes 8MP pics along with many other settings. I think it takes great clear pics and I haven't notice a difference in quality between stock camera and CM7 camera quality wise. It may not have all the same functions and the layout is different but other than the touch to focus I think it has all the settings. If you are on stock just MAKE SURE you do a nadroid backup. If you don't like CM7 you can just go back into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, restore nandroid backup of stock rom and you will be EXACTLY where you left off. It is ALOT easier going back to stock or any other roms via nandroid backup that on older captivates or sgs1's.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: you are right!

You are 100% correct about the CM7's camera user interface (UI).

Even before taking pictures or videos with it, just looking at CM7's LCD

anyone can see that CM7's user interface looks like some cheapy camera

and not something which is sopposed to be just about top of the line.

CM7 always had this issue even when I used to have the Captivate phone.

I just do not understand why some of the DEVS cannot replace the

camera's user interface with a much nicer looking one after all this time.

So far I was only commenting on the cosmetic aspects of the CM7's camera.

Now I will tell you about the quality of the actual videos and snapshots

I have done a lot of tests with.

#1: CM7 cannot record videos in 1080p HD

#2: CM7 cannot record at the full 30 fps which is very noticable.

#3: CM7 cannot do continuous auto-focus while recording videos.

Flash CyanogenMOD rom then record some videos of moving cars or people

walking or or running or you can simply put a can of pepsi in front of the

phone about 3 feet from the camera lens on a table or something while

moving the phone left to right, right to left, up and down while focusing in

on the can of pepsi on a table.

Do this for a couple minutes and you will see exactly what I am talking

about. Then do this same test using the STOCK GB rom and you will see

a day and night difference in the two recordings quality.

CM7 only records at approx. 15 to 21fps constantly changing rates making

the recordings look jerky and unprofessional unless you are recording

stationary objects or people who are are just sitting on a chair talking but

with little motion or movement.

One other thing, when taking snapshots with CM7 rom the auto focus takes

about twice as long for it to lock onto anything you are taking pictures of.

These are the main reasons I have not taken the Cyanogen route yet.

I really do like most all other aspects of the CyanogenMOD rom a lot

but until all the camera issues have been fixed I will simply stick with

GTG's "noname" custom rom which after much testing I find to be the

best and the most reliable custom rom which is availble for our phones

at this time.

After all, the camera part in any cell phone is one of it's highest selling

points especially for people like myself who love photograpy.

I hope all this info has helped you and other's too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] scoot05redss:
Awesome info! It helps tremendously. I've found the Unnamed Rom to be the best so far as well. Looks like ill stick with it.

I"M SORRY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS Q+A. WRONG FORUM. PLEASE MOVE

I've done some searching/research and found that a few ROM's do support extended battery, but I've also read that they only mostly support the HD2 official HTC extended battery, which is 2300 MAh.

I've got a 2700 MAh extended battery.

Will this not work since it's not the official extended? Or will it only show 2300 MAh?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to get a new NAND ROM, hopefully with CyanogenMod.

I"M SORRY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS Q+A. WRONG FORUM. PLEASE MOVE
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mr. Clown:
Moved to proper forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirbo.g:
Hi all!

I am exceptionally new here, especially with Android. I've been a long time Blackberry user and the difference between both OS are really different. Felt like a grandma using this phone.

But anyway, I've done a lot of research and reading on this forum about upgrading firmware, rooting and etc. but still have questions that need to be clarified.

I have purchased a GS2 from a store that gets their phones from overseas. Thus my phone is not from a carrier and is from a different country.

I tried upgrading my firmware using Kies but it's not allowing me:

"This version of the device cannot be updated"

I know for sure there's new firmwares to be updated as I have owned another GS2 before this one and it was fine at updating through Kies. I had to return it for a burnt image (that can be for another thread).

Here's my phone's info:

PDA: I9100ZSKF1

PHONE:	I9100XXKE4

CSC: I9100OZSKE7

kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9100ZSKF1-CL225635 jdk@jtj-desktop #6

Not sure if this is related or not but when I first turned on the phone, everything was in Spanish and had no choice in the Language option to change to Chinese (just in case but I use English normally). So I asked the boss of the store how can I get Chinese on this thing? So he just took the phone and did his magic. I was waiting for about half an hour, he gave it back to me and everything was in Chinese. Changed it back to English, went home and played around with it. Realized I have a Super User app in my app drawer. I was suspecting that the boss rooted my phone just to get the Chinese language on. Because for sure it would not come stock.

So my big question is, if this phone is/was indeed rooted, how do I check? If I root not knowing that this is rooted already, would there be any problems that may arise?

Kernel wise, since this phone was originally in Spanish, it wouldn't make sense to have a China/Hong Kong kernel. Does it? I'm so new at this that I don't know if kernel's country make any difference. Oh yeah, I don't even have a freaking warranty card for this phone, I guess I wouldn't even have Samsung's warranty. :confused:

Thanks in advance. And sorry for the long post...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Do you have a superuser icon in your app drawer? If yes then you're rooted.

You root by flashing a cf-root kernel, flashing it again wont cause any issues at all.

I wouldn't worry about origin of kernel's.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tinofet:
I have the internaltional version of this case and it fits perfectly .

There is one MAJOR issue with it .

The hole for the headphones plug is so ****ing small.

So if you have a big PL plug you need to connect you just cant .

Which suck`s .

In addition when you slide your finger to the right or left and touch the outer shell it bends it a bit and thats annoying ...

My rating for this case :

1-10 ( where 10 is the best )

9 the look of the case

9 for the fit

5 for functionality ( due to the headphone jack ****up )

9 for the price

overall if you do not mind limit yourself for a headphone jack or using your dremel to expend the hole then take it

otherwise look somewhere else

SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 ATT Case Neo Hybrid EX Series

Looks like SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 ATT Case Neo Hybrid EX Series does not cover the 2nd microphone ..

Looks it is include in the site today ..

PS : unable to include link...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
yep no problem. the key to doing it that way it to NOT pull the nail out while its still hot bro. once you push it through, just hold it there until it cools down. otherwise if you pull it out while its still hot, the plastic will pull up and you will ruin the perfect hole and it will be all messed up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
Yeah, I just noticed that as well.

The Neo Hybrid cases have a notice that that the second mic is covered, the Neo Hybrid EX doesn't.

Kind of interesting that they are the same price even though the EX does not come with any back cover...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
Where do you see this? I am looking at the site right now and it looks like the 2nd microphone is still covered. Also, the cutout on the upper left corner and lanyard hole is still there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayosee:
good bit of info. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayosee:
went and picked up my case directly from their warehouse. They are local for me. The people there are really nice. I got 2 cases. One regular Neo Hybrid, and one EX (black one and white one). This is recommended for anyone who gets more than one case. The outer shells are exactly the same, the only difference is the inner shell. The EX doesnt cover the battery, which is perfect for someone who has the extended battery cover. Or you can use the EX inner shell if you want to show the original back cover (which I like). So you basically get 4 cases for the price of 2, since the shells are interchangable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
Could be just using stock photos.

On the regular NEO Hybrid site it has a warning about the mic being covered:

*** Please note that the case covers the microphone hole and may result in possible sound reduction.

http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...samsung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-series.html

On the NEO Hybid EX site it doesn't have the same warning.

http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...sung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-ex-series.html

As stated above it looks like both cases use the same outer shell. So either they updated the cases (at in the OP) to accommodate, or they didn't. I guess we'll truly find out in a few weeks when someone actually orders a "newer" one and it arrives!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayosee:
They are the SAME outer shell, just different inner shells. I went to their location today, and picked up one of each. The only difference is now they include the correct screen protector for the AT&T version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
I wouldn't even take a lot of their descriptions seriously as the one for the Neo Hybrid Ex is messed up in a few places. IE: The red asterisk note is part of the first sentence of the description and the FAQ question refers to the iPhone4. Even on the Neo Hybrid page, one of the frequently asked question answers contradict the warning about covering the microphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
And second mic on top still covered, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SirAnkie:
I take it you had to try a few times since you ordered three of them. Two questions:

Did you poke the hole from the inside out or outside in?

Did you use any particular method make sure the hole you made was aligned to the microphone hole?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
That was actually my first attempt surprisingly. I pushed the nail from the outside in. That way any excess plastic goes towards the inside of the case. How I aligned the hole was I put just the rubber case on first and poked the hole through it to line up with the mic hole. Then I basically just eyeballed the plastic part. I would kinda lift up the plastic to see wear the hole was and lightly mark it with the nail. Then I just went for it and poked the hot nail through.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dream5hift:

The Neo Hybrid Ex is more like a bumper, the Neo Hybrid is a full body case, I suppose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
one more question, is the neo hybrid ex keep the camera off surfaces when laying down? and is it like the ip4 where they had buttons , or is it cutouts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
yes it keeps the camera face off of surfaces when you set it down. and it does have butttons, not just cutouts.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
Got my black one in today. Decided to play it safe before I choose another color and don't end up liking it. **Click the picture for the album with more pictures

I remember reading about how the right side with the power button was super sensitive to touches where almost any touch on the side near the power button would turn the display on. If you go through the album and look at the last picture, I decided to shave off a little nub with my Spyderco knife that was there in the power button cutout that may have fixed the issue. Before, it was TOO easy to push the power button. After the mod, the resistance of the power button felt normal again and doesn't trigger itself like before. The volume button works fine from the start.

Case feels good overall. Didn't think the silicone part would be so slick but it feels pretty nice like soft-touch plastic. The case feels pretty rigid once everything is on even though the two parts are flexible as hell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
^^^I wanted to do that to the power button.. but I'm afraid I might mess up lol.

Did you poke a hole for the top mic yet? I haven't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
Yeah it was pretty tricky considering how thin the silicone cover is. If you're gonna do it, I'd suggest using something really sharp to cleanly shave off just tiny bits of it. The bump on mine is still there, but apparently not enough to make it crazy sensitive again.

Probably not gonna poke a hole for the top mic just yet. Might try out a few call recordings somehow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cbb77:
I've read a few times in the SG2 International forums that the back ends up sagging after about a week or so. Can you post back with your experience. Wondering how bad it gets and if the case is worth it. Looks great but not if it's going be a problem in the long run.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dbsltmch:
Yes, you are correct. I had mine for about a week and the back end started to sag and it became loose around camera opening. I didn't like that and I ended up cutting the middle piece out to make it like Hybrid EX case. I like it better. I should have bought EX case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
Just got mine in the mail and I love it. Modified the hole on the top, doesn't look as awesome as this one but def is a hole and I'm sure it works fine. Used an x-acto knife to make it look better, opened up the mic at the bottom of the case just to make the sound easier to get to it, I wanted to do that for some random reason. Thanks again for the tip on making the hole on top, worked great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SirAnkie:
Just search on youtube you will find a lot of videos reviewing case. it's basically a silicone case with a plastic shell for around the edges.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tdiliplane:
well I got my case last night and was psyched to get it on my galaxy. It came with a screen protector (100x better than the moshi , no grainy display) I'm a little disappointed with the cheap feeling of the case it looks great but I feel if I drop it, it would most certainly smash. another thing that bothers me is the cut out for the noise canceling mic, its in the wrong place and I just can't grasp why they would make this product knowing there was a flaw. Other than that im pretty happy with the purchase. Now ive just read that the silicon case starts to sag around the camera ill be back in a wk or so to update.
