Common guys. This is leading to nowhere ... Just dont reply on questions that already been asked. I wasn`t on the forum for a while (i mean posting) cause v6 for me is still awesome!

Even if Leo's ICS is there just in months.... Deal

with it!!! And if they

are waiting for Jkay...deal with it again!!!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] spiros83:
Indeed they did, but I am still not sure if the upcoming release will be any better or with less bugs than the rest of the ICS releases. Don't get me wrong, I fully trust the CheckRom Team, but I think that until we get an official Samsung release, there won't be anything better than CheckRom v6. All those leaked versions have bugs and issues.

Does anyone know something specific about an official release? I seem to remember something about the 15th of April, though I am not sure if the tweet I stumbled upon mentioned an international version. Please do correct me if anyone knows for sure...

First official ICS from Samsung was released about a month ago. 10th of March if I remember correctly....

The LP3 version I tested for a week was very good. Anyways, don't think I will be using any Samsung ROMs for a while... I forget why I used an AOSP rom on my Desire for the last 6 months I owned it. I'm totally hooked on Hydrogen ICS for the S2 <3

[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
how did you flash hydrogen..? full wipe?

really tempting but i feel a bit lazy, having to wipe and all that.. and i don;t use titanium and stuff like that.. i only need my contact and the apps that i have with google play.. but still feelong a bit lazy.. how is battery life?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
I flashed yesterday Hydrogen yesterday, totally dissapointed. Is laggy. I dunno how is battery life, coz didn't use to long. For me AOSP roms better.

Laggy? Mine is super fast and buttery smooth, the only thing that lags is the Chrome browser, but I don't use it, I use Opera mini or Dolphin HD.

BTW, Hydrogen is an AOSP ROM!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cytherean:
Slim & CM9 all running smooth and worth a try. I'm on Hydrog3n now and I have to say that it was nice for the Google backup to re-install all the apps for me. :)

Andrei, not to try to steal you away from CheckRom but you should give any of these a try. Keep a nandroid of Checkrom and if you don't like them; it is a factory reset and restore your nandroid.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aeroman:
i'll test hydrogen and bezke, (back to Sammy Build Roms)..

is AOSP Based Rom and have integrated AOKP Features which comes from Galaxy Nexus, but have a lot of bugs with Galaxy S2.

I think the better way is a Sammy Build Rom with Google Apps and important Samsung Apps, so a Mix. :D

Sammy Build Rom have better USB (MTP) and Kernel Support. :cool:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
I agree...I liked cm9 but hate lack of features and devs attitude... namely one :mad:

Sammy has all the features working ...time will tell I suppose.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jingsoy:
tried more than 10 ICS roms already since the LPQ release and i can say that all those ICS roms has issues nothing beats CRR V6. have you noticed how they keep on updating the roms? i think it is because they still havent fixed the issues. backing up, wiping, flashing then restoring to crr v6 is really a waste of time. my loyalty is with checkrom so i am patiently waiting for the crr ics release nothing beats checkrom. those who tried to flash ics roms and says they're not having problems/issues with the rom that's great! but sooner or later you will still go back to crr v6.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zekurosu:
i was a previous user of CRV6 ... have to say that it served me well during GB ... but since i tried CM9 ... it is hard for me to go back to GB based roms .... but again it all depends on yourself ... some might say AOSP or AOKP is better than the other but it all depend on yourself ... try it and judge it yourself

if you dont like it, theres always your nandroid backup of CRv6 :D

Just switched to checkrom and siyah kernel a few days ago. Works great so far but I had a few questions.

First, I can't figure out where the mount point is for the sdcard? There should be an internal and external card. I know one of them is /sdcard, where's the other?

Second, I'm using Go Launcher EX. Before on CM I could customize the grid size to have an extra row. But on CheckRom the setting doesn't seem to have any effect?

Third, in CheckRom when switching to vibrate mode the phone vibrates. Is it possible to disable this?

Thanks all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tyrol:
1) /sdcard/external_sd

2) Go to the Preferences of GO Launcher, Screen Settings, Grid Size. You can change how many rows & columns you want there. I think you should have "Auto-fit" checked too.

3) Uh.. You *are* switching to Vibrate mode after all, why would it be called Vibrate mode if it didn't, well, vibrate? I think you can turn it off using the toggles that come with Jkay though.

Alternatively, go to Settings, Sound, Vibration and set it to Never or whatever you want.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] crimsondr:
1. Thanks.

2. Thanks, I just realized I was modifying the app drawer grid size and not screen grid size.

3. I knew my question wasn't worded correctly. When switching to vibrate mode, it immediately vibrates as a notification of the mode change. I want this disabled but still vibrate for actual notifications. Does that make sense? What do you mean by Jkay toggles? Where is that? Sorry but I'm new to CheckRom.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
Yeah, always keep my CheckROM V6 nandroid backup just in case. Wipe cache, data, dalvik, system. All went well, though I came from a LP3 ICS ROM. Dont know if going from GB to Hydrogen is any different.

Anyway, for me battery life is pretty nice actually. It's been a while since I did such a fresh and clean instal anyway. Now 6h30m standby and 1h30m screen time, 72% left. Still Second sycle though. But its ok IMO :) And it's so smooth and fast... and best of all, so many features and options in settings. Really, you should check it out. You can always restore your CheckROM backup.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aquariuzism:
On CM9, at first i like it as well. And i must say it's better than any other ICS ROMs in terms of GPS panache and ROM smoothness. But just yesterday when i tried to play an AVI format movie using MXplayer, it just kept on force closing which never happened when i was on CRR V6. Another issue is that Task manager displays 0.00MB for all the running apps(though already sorted out by gokahn himself). Most home launchers, if not all, are also quite slow compared to GB. Now i am wondering why a lot of people here are upgrading(really!?) to ICS. Is it because of hype or just for the sake of being "IN"?

Hmmm... gonna need my nandroid back up now.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedro.coba:
to ICS version of what is already out?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
ICS is so much more imo then what most people see/think.

It's like almost every part of the OS is re-done. All these little touches make for a new and very nice experience. The fact that I (and probably more people here) wouldn't go back to GB shows this...

Ps: Im talking about AOSP roms. The LP3 Sammy ROM doesnt feel so awesome, but with Apex Launcher and ICS Domination 4.1 theme it gets closer.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] simes6600:
the smoothness and scrolling in S2 ICS is piss poor compared to GB. and the battery life is like watchin the clock count down on a shuttle launch.

im more than happy on Checkrom v6 GB for now until ICS is sorted out. the S2 ICS stock isn't even themed like the Nexus etc. i have tried loads of diff custom ICS roms (Andy, Sensation, Batista, Pure, Wanamlite, Omega etc), and not one compares to or adds anything better than Checkrom v6. i would say wait for an ICS update, but the word avoid is probably better choice.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bundi22:
with the latest cm9 kernel or siyah kernel, the touchscreen sensitivity is back to the way it was on gingerbread. i was annoyed by how it was, but now it is fixed!

battery is the same.

install hydrogenics aokp and siyah kernel, and you will never go back.

i had checkrom up until cm9, so once ics checkrom comes out, i will have it dual booted with aokp, which will be implemented in siyah kernel soon.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
neee.. that's really good.. with lighning rom, you say? hmm.. very tempting indeed.. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
Ok, everything you say is not true in my point of view.

1. It's super smooth and fast.

2. Scrolling is fixed, same level (maybe even better) then GB. At least in HydrogenICS + Siyah 3.0.1.

3. Battery life is about the same

4. All the roms you tried are Sammy ICS ROMs. Again, once I tried Hydrogen (CM9 based + AOKP stuff, very nice) I was hooked. I even enabed the navigation buttons like on the Nexus. You can give the the size you want, the colour you want, add more buttons in the bar, all from AOKP ROM settings. Most of the time you don't even need to reboot to see the changes.

If I knew earlier how much stuff you can tweak and modify in an AOKP ROM I would have flashed it long ago :)

That's a +1. I will never go back. :D

Im very happy with gb..i c no reason in changing roms every third day as thats the rate at which new mods and roms are coming out...i will wait as long as it takes for one widely accepted stable rom which is then taken up by checkrom and released and the day ics domination for ics has as many features as the gb version...that is the day i will leave gb..i dont c y i should shift to ics simply because its new...im quite happy with gb and thats all that matters to me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zaphyr:
As many of you I was very happy with CheckROM v6 and GB as such. Initially I intended to wait for CheckROM v7 ICS, but curiosity got the better of me and I just had to try an ICS ROM. First I tested CM9 nightly, but wasn't convinced. Then I tried Hydrogen and I'm really happy with it! I'm will definitely switch back to CheckROM when ICS is released, but for now Hydrogen will do just fine. And finally, to all of you that don't want to try ICS, you don't know what you're missing imo :-) it's great!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
I agree. The sceptics are missing out . Battery life is good too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 007Arc:
Is this the discussion thread for ics? Because in the title it says CheckRom V6
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goku80:
agreed. but on the other hand people are waiting to find out what is going to be instore with the ICS version of Checkrom. But on a overall case ICS is beautiful and very much of an upgrade to GB. AOSP roms are the way to be really. When i had my S2 the only thing that was running on it was cm9 or Slim ICS.

Checkrom v7 will be a beast to have on your phone though. Because of the work the team does you are for sure to get the same standards that AOSP devs give to their roms. So guys you also have an option of dual boot kernel coming soon from Gokhamoral. That means two roms to use. ICS sammy based and cm9 roms. Wished i had my galaxy s2 still to be honest.

But anyway thanks to GM you guys have the best of both worlds...Try out ICS roms play with them till v7 is out. But please do not moan about it and respect the thread here and keep discussions regarding ICS to general thread.

but if you want to try a ICS rom try any AOKP ones...They rock...Till v7 is out that is

Yes. From the kitchen... :-)

So there is no solution?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
As I thought...its well known...dial a number and hang up sorts it temporarily.

For permanent fix, Reflash the rom and you'll have the stock dialer back. Its a non wipe rom but you'll have to flash any kitchen mods you have again.

If i take the apk from the rom en flash phone.apk? It's gone?

I think people forget when a new version of Android comes out such as ICS. That there are going to be a lot of new updates that come thick and fast. For those that want to upgrade they can and good for them.

For myself I'd rather wait through the many different sammy updates and wait for something solid and slick. CheckROM v6 is fantastic and a brilliant ROM to wait on while waiting for an ICS rom that won't be completely outdated a few days or weeks later. I don't understand either why people have tried ICS roms are happy and then come here to complain why there is no ICS. Leave this thread alone, go say how happy you are with your new ICS rom in that thread. Community always complaining rather than being grateful.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] iscio:
is there any possibility to see checkrom ICS?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
Hmmm, could it be that your AC charger is now set to 450mA instead of 650? Don't know, you could try downloading Voltage Control (off course then you need a kernel that supports it, like Siyah or NEAK) and go to the charger settings and check if AC is set to 650mA.

If you are already on Siyah kernel and using ExTweaks, you can check it in that app (since if you use ExTweaks Voltage Control won't show the charger settings anymore)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
This rom does not alter charge time.

Default AC charging current is 650mA unless u changed it using Siyah kernel and Voltage Control app or Extweaks app.

Default USB charging current is 450mA so it will be slower if you use USB cable.

Which are u using?

If you are using AC wall charger, I'd try another charger.

I changed to HyDrOG3N-ICS, too, because I WANTED ICS - and to be honest: First scrolling was strange, but after one day of usage I got used to this new way of scrolling (I think it isn't laggy - it's just different). Today I used the SGS 2 of my wife (CR V6) and found scrolling on GB very strange ;-). Human beings and their habits...

By the way: Waiting for CR V7 ....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
I agree with you "53970" (what a name lol). On Hydrogen + Siyah kernel 3.0.1, the scrolling is very good, especially if you compare it with how it was on earlier Samsung ICS roms. It is diffrent then GB, that for sure. But it's a matter of getting used to, once you do you will love it :)

It's sad I really loved CheckROM and was sure I would go back once they release their new ROM. But the problem is, I got hooked on AOSP again... don't think I want to go back to Sammy anymore :"> Guess there is always the dream that the CheckROM team changes their mind and base future releases on AOSP haha

Next Problem is the bad Vibrationsintensy und Touchlight Support. The AOKP Settings and Features haves some Probs
