That's the lockscreen, man. :p You go to Settings > Location and security > Set up screen lock to change it's style. To remove it you need an ap like this.

About Siyah, well, you can undervolt your phone so you can save battery, and it features many other tweeks too.

A Lock Screen? There is a way to disable it.
[Galaxy S II General] mfractal:
If you have Jkay installed you can disable the lockscreen from there.
[Galaxy S II General] ehcelino:
Thanks dandroid! I installed the app and now the lockscreen is gone. I'm analising the options around kernels and other options. I've seen that some have updated their modem codes and the signal is better now, is that for real? I'm still very cautious around Odin.

Dude, I really don't know, I rarely use 3G. About kernels I'm using Red Pill now for a while, it's very good too.

Well thank you guys for helping. Now I'm running Siyahkernel 2.6.11, and got rid of the lock screen by changing it for widget locker. Waaay nicer. I'm learning how to customize the kernel, but for now the phone is running smooth - actually the screen is a little more responsive then with default kernel. I'm using ADW as well, and it's not yet the manager I want, but less bloated than the others, and less prone to malfunction. I'm still looking for a screenshot app, if you guys can give a hint I'd appreciate it. Also bought AutomateIT Pro, and it's a very good app, it makes my phone quiet when I'm sleeping, and I'm automating other tasks as well.

By the way, any good KIES replacement? I've tested a few, and damn none is as stable as it must be. They keep breaking my contact groups apart, and so on.

Well, i'll be watching this thread all times, and hope there are improvements for us Brasileiros. I'm running my phone in english, and got rid of the digits problem using morelocale2.

I'll try to help if I can too, after all, it's the least I can do.

Thanks again!

Dude... I didn't read all the posts, so I don't know if I'm saying bull**** but..... There's an app called "Widget Locker". Do you know? I think that it's the best choise for people that wanna change that horrible samsung lockscreen. Right? Of course that this app don't remove lockscreen function, I know. But it gives you many possibilites to change for a better one. So....

Hey guy's, not sure if it's really relevant here but I've recently moved from the UK to Brazil (north east - Joao Pessoa), looking for a network provider, not sure who to go with, was looking for some advice. It seems that smartphones are thin on the ground in Brazil and the network providers haven't catered for them particularly well.
[Galaxy S II General] KickButts:
I think this is true for the northeast, but in the really big cities there's a lot of smartphones around and good support for them. The problem here is that Internet is slow and expensive, and this is true not only on mobiles. Cable and ADSL have the same problem.

[Galaxy S II General] mfractal:
Another "don't" here : avoid TIM. Service is super bad, reception is awful, dropped calls and super slow data.

I recommend Vivo or Claro. They are both more expensive than TIM & Oi and there's a reason for that :-)

Just remember, guys. If a carrier provides a bad service at you region or city doesn't mean it will provide a bad service for all regions or cities. Always ask for advice on other people from your region before assuming anything.

I surely agree on that. I'm passing for that right now! And what? I'm just ignoring all the calls from the Carrier and i'm just getting all the proofs like double-sent and overpriced accounts like a really retarded service! Damn I'm going at PROCON very very soon to take some bills from them! I'll win for sure and laugh for last.

New Brazilian Kies update:

http://fus.nanzen.se/#GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] brunofm:
Downloading it right now, let's see...

EDIT:

It took about 20 minutes but it's finished. Now I'm at 2.3.6 (up from 2.3.4) and the kernel has I9100UHLB2 in it. Does anyone know if there's a changelong besides the AOSP one on Wikipedia for this update? I can't seem to notice any differences...

I'm new to XDA, as my post count clearly shows, so i'd like to ask another thing: what's "ZTO" and why did I get the LB2 and not it? And isn't it strange for us to get 2.3.6 today, with ICS planned to be released next thursday?

EDIT #2

After a few minutes I noticed s few changes. Swype is in a new version, with word suggestion, the call accept/reject sliders are different (better imo) and now there's a permanent icon on the notification bar when phone is set to ring and vibrate.
[Galaxy S II General] hebermc:
Im on a unlocked 2.3.4 kernel.

What is the procedure to update to 2.3.6?

Do I need to update the rom or just the kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] dandroid13:
Unlocked device you mean? You must update the rom, obviously, kernel is just a kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Steve_max:
Your ROM is UHLB2. This means:

UH: Latin America

L: 2012

B: February

2: second ROM compiled this month

Your CSC is ZTO, meaning Brasil.

About the changelog... Forget about it. Samsung's updates are like a box of chocolates... You can ask for the kernel source and find some differences, but most will be on closed source parts (like the TouchWiz interface).

[Galaxy S II General] brunofm:
Thanks for the help! :) Too bad there's no official changelog, but I assembled a small one myself. Please remember these are changes from stock 2.3.4:

Swype now has suggestions when you type (love it) and the dragging line is semi-transparent

Touchscreen seems more responsive (this could be subjective but it really seems better)

Scroll bars in lists now have a rubbery effect and when you reach the edges there's a glowing effect

WiFi reception seemed better today on two access points I tested (subjective) - web pages loaded more quickly and such

Whenever you set the phone to always vibrate on calls, there's a permanent icon on the notification bar (hate that)]

Battery seems to be draining a tad bit more than before (according to Battery Drain; need to investigate more and have more data before I can say for sure)

I know that this is not the correct place to post this question but anyone know how to root this version 2.3.6?

Go to PROCON, but also go to the "Juizado Especial Civel" (i.e. small claims court) in order to claim refund in double for any overcharges, in the terms of the Brazilian consumer law (Art 42, paragrafo único, CDC). PROCON only encourage mediation and may apply administrative fines, but it has no power beyond that ;)

Flash any rooted kernel, no mystery.
[Galaxy S II General] Steve_max:
This probably won't work now, if you already updated, but for the future: get Mobile Odin from the market, and flash all future kernels through it. Using its "Ever Root" option, you will keep root even on stock kernel, and the binary counter won't move.

Brazil → 4.0.3 Update Available! (14/03)

From what I understand, its available on Kies, what firmware do I need installed on the phone to get it?
[Galaxy S II General] Marcb:
Dude... you really think that if a brazilian ICS ROM was available since 14/03, everybody would be quiet for 6 days?

This is the Trinidad & Tobago ROM, that everybody adreesses as Brazil... but it's not...

You need to be in LB2 2.3.6 stock to receive the update via Kies...
[Galaxy S II General] do1984:
The first time I've installed TTT stock, Kiest said I couldn't update via Kies. Then I got back to 2.3.6, flashed stock kernel and decided to move back to TTT 4.0.3. I've used cf-root kernel to root, exactly as the first time, but surprisingly now Kies tells me there is no update available at this time. But the message "your device doesn't support kies updates" is gone.

Weird hehe.

Well, I know the ZTO 4.0.3 probably is going to be exactly the same as lpq and others, but, even so, can't wait for the release. For the first time ever, I'm willing to use a stock rom, official, kies updates and stuff, but Samsung doesn't let me :P
[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
Why this obsession with stock ROMs? If you stick to stock, you will always have an old ROM in your phone, usually with bugs and lots of crapware inserted by operators...

Get a Frankenstein from Intratech topic... or a custom deodexed... get a good rooted Kernel... You will have much better performance.

And now ICS have pt-BR by default, so there's no longer a language excuse for getting old Brazilian ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] do1984:
Noed, I´ve been using custom roms since my first Android device (xperia x10 mini pro), and continued using it in my Milestone 2, but since mini pro didn´t have an official Cyanogenmod build, and Milestone 2 was always developed based on Defy builds, I´ve never had a good experience with custom. I´ve tried the nightly cm9 and the Pure ICS 7.1, and I had a lot of bugs and issues with both. For now, while those custom rom doesn´t reach a REAL stable status, I just prefer to stick with Stock, that by the way, isn´t that bad. Once you get used to the TW features, it gets kindda nice :)

Even the build released by Samsung was also buggy. But for now, it´s the closest to stable I managed to test.
[Galaxy S II General] dandroid13:
MIUI is Samsung-based now and it's not outdated.

You can always remove crapware and CM7/9 has no FM radio. Using stock isn't that bad after all. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
I suggested to install a Frankenstein Stock from Intratech... or a stable custom ROM based on stock... just deodexed, zipaligned, bloatware clean...

You don't need to wait for an official Kies update to Brazil to get a stable and bug-free ROM.

Of course, you can go extreme also if you want, a nightly CM9... but obviously it won't be stable yet.

Aprecio a iniciativa do criador do tópico, mas após revisar as páginas vi que é uma discussão feitas por brasileiro mas que não serve para todos os brasileiros.

Acredito que ajudaria mais se a linguagem básica da discussão fosse o português.

Também sei que umas das normas do fórum é que se use o english, e seguindo a linha de raciocínio do criador do tópico, que sustentou sua intenção nos modelos que existem de outros países e que nesses tópicos usam suas língua nativas, acredito que não seja nenhum pecado fazê-lo aqui.

Hi,

I know Cyanogen and MIUI have portuguese brazilian translations, but these are ROMs based on Android original source... I've tested and didn't like, feels unstable yet, need to wait longer until drivers are figured out.

Currently I prefer ROMs based on Samsung base, like CheckROM Revolution, Villain, Batista70, Darky, Androidmeda...

Problem is Samsung hasn't been releasing in pt-BR :(

Morelocale2 sure helps with apps, but not with the base system.

I'd like to make some translations, anybody know where to start? If someone send me the files, I can translate... but I will take longer if I have to figure out the ROM source and compile it myself.

2.3.5 PT-BR Rom

Hi guys, i just moved from Atrix to Galaxy S II, and already tried Cyanogen RC1 and VillainRom 3.0, but decided to keep the stock ROM because it's in BR Portuguese and has a better camera app (IMHO).

The question is, is there a 2.3.5 Gingerbread ROM with BR Portuguese support? I hate reading PT Portuguese, "contactos?" ercã?!?!" lol

Cyanogen has BR Portuguese, i don't understand why is it so difficult to find other ROMs that do too...

Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S II General] gasparzim:
As someone said here before, it´s because the devs usually base their work in the european ROM. Maybe not every dev is interested in adding PT-BR language to their ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Download "More Locale2" from the market and select PT-BR to fix the way the numbers are shown. From ICS on, all languages are included by default.
[Galaxy S II General] marcusvnac:
Did you do this? It works?

[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Yes it does! Actually, instead of selecting pt_BR I made a custom en_BR locale as I prefer using UK English language on my phone (not good for the "turn-by-turn" navigation though, as the English pronunciation of Portuguese street names is quite strange), but I strongly prefer the Brazilian way of formatting phone numbers.
[Galaxy S II General] marcusvnac:
Great!

So, with European version, I can use de voice commands and the Swipe keyboard in brazilian portuguese, and my apps that have translate do PT BR will apear in this language?

My doubt is if I can use this ROM (XXPLQ) as the same way that i use the ZTO ROM in Brazil. Which is the difference?
