The Samfirmware site is wrong. I flashed (VIVO) and it is 4.0.4.

I sent an email to them to fix the information in download page, but, so far nothing changed.

By the way, this version is really good. Using it almost 4 days, and the battery duration is really good, very smooth and stable. I really pass 4.1.2 with this version.

There are 4 pré-installed apps that you can remove, and I recommend a full wipe before and after rom is installed.

I'm from Florianópolis am I'm on lite version of neatrom LSD. my phone working smooth and fast with this rom. For better battery I've using some scripts to configure stweaks and disabled a lot of apps that get autorun without permissions. Now, this is the best rom (in my opinion) actually.
[Galaxy S II General] ehcelino:
Wildnick, how are you feeling in general about the phone with I9100XWLSD? Battery, responsiveness, heating? I'm interested in trying the same config. Any considerations? BTW, I didn't find the same kernel version, but I downloaded PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSD-OXX-4.31.tar.md5, since the kernel thread oriented me to do so.
[Galaxy S II General] Wildnick:
I have no issues with XWLSD. Battery consumption is a little higher than in 4.0.3 official Roms. I have not experienced the loopback problem that some people relates to 4.1.2 official Roms. I'm also using Philz 4.31 kernel. The problem with Philz is that everyday he releases a new version. But he makes an wonderful job.
[Galaxy S II General] dandroid13:
Well, the latest is supposed to be better always. :p

And c'mon guys! If you are here you know that you can use another launcher if you don't like MIUI's default one. :eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy S II General] luizffgarcia:
Bare in mind that even skilled developers are susceptible to placebo effect :)
[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
It should :)

One thing I did is disable HSDPA (*#301279#, select 2 then select 1). Now it's 3G only... fast enough for me, since Vivo limit me to 32kbps when I exceed the quota.

HSDPA is "newer, better, faster", also consumes a lot more battery and does nothing to my specific case :)
[Galaxy S II General] dandroid13:
You guys who don't like MIUI should ask this guy http://checkrom.com/threads/brasil-Área-para-pessoal-com-dúvidas.34/#post-45

I've asked on their thread but they didn't reply.
[Galaxy S II General] dandroid13:
Bump!

I was googling about fast dormancy on brazilian carriers and couldn't find anything about it. :confused: Anybody here knows something? :D
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
As far as I know, Brazilian carriers don't support fast dormancy, and if you leave it enabled in your phone whereas your carrier doesn't support it, it will actually consume more battery juice instead of saving it. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, while in Brazil we should disable it dialing *#9900# and following the options on the menu.
[Galaxy S II General] dandroid13:
Problem is, how to do it using MIUI? :p
[Galaxy S II General] luizffgarcia:
Kernel

Guys, i really recommend you test the new Siyah Kernel 2.1, you won't belive what this one will do for your battery life. Sometimes changes are small and people even say it's a placebo effect, but this one is absolutely evident!

If you disable HSDPA it will be even more amazing. I have been using my phone exactly as before the Kernel, and i used to take 12 hours to consume 20% of my battery, now it takes 20 hours to consume the same amount!

Btw, it is also fast and stable as hell...
[Galaxy S II General] dandroid13:
I use it since day one. It's the best kernel for the S II. :)
[Galaxy S II General] rafael000:
Hey, nice thread!

I've just changed my settings for the AGPS with Faster Fix (I'm on Exynos Extreme 7.2).

Nice tip.

I own a SGS2 since May. I bought it in the UK.

I don't matter using it in English, so I just flash any ROM I want.

I was using Lite'ning, but the guy stopped updating, so I moved to Exynos and it's great.
[Galaxy S II General] maFi0us:
Rafael and others who like Lite'ning, one good alternative to this amazing rom made by Lite'Pro is VillainRom.

Just as Lite'ning, Villain is a close to stock rom, and if u combine it with JKAY Deluxe themes it will look like Lite'ning. Besides that, this rom provides great battery life, no bugs and good perfomance at all.

[Galaxy S II General] ygor.almeida:
Hi Guys,

So none of you knows how to help Devs to Port MIUI and CM7 PT-BR to our currently custom ROM ??

I've asked someone one .. and they asked for CSC - but as far as i know no PT-BR on 2.3.5 samsung builds.

Isn't it possible to port the files from another android CM7 or any AOSP !??

Thx
[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
Is it really the ROM that needs translation?

I think it's just some APKs, like Settings.apk, the touchwiz launcher apk (or just use some other launcher that already support pt-BR, like Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, ADW...)

What else really needs translation? I don't think CSC really matter.
[Galaxy S II General] wander_jarra:
I Think the same ... just some parts ( special settings and other things ) must be in Portuguese.

I think CSC will only help in case of Number Format (0xx11)XXXX-XXXX

But how about a translator group ? if someone manage to start a project. As we can see everyone that posted on this topic, knows english better than own mother language. ;)

I can help, and Ygor ( my friend ) too. But we are not programmers neither a android dev, so directions must be posted.

[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
So he had KI4 with pt-BR then moved to KI3 without it?

And where he got KI4 with pt-BR?

This guy sounds confused.

Yes, br.pool.ntp.org, it's a load balancer that will redirect to the other hosts.

If anybody needs a modem file, I extracted from latest ICS 4.0.3 build from VIVO firmware, worked like a charm

The name inside does not match the current baseband, I used a previous file to do it, fearing the filename would imply errors with some scripting I left the name as the previous one.
[Galaxy S II General] guedes_puc:
Have you tried jb modem first, or flashed vivo's modem straight?

I wonder how the original modem behave in our network.
[Galaxy S II General] gusnd:
the built in modem I used was from a previous firmware, but the performance was not good enough, I remembered places where I used to have good signal reception, and after flashing the new firmware the reception was really poor, so I used this one. Would like to have some feedbacks from people which used it besides me.
[Galaxy S II General] the_biu:
Hey guys or brothers, hehe. I'm using CM 10.1 on my GT-I9100 and with those releases of Samsung JB ROM I'd like to test them. But before, I'd like to know how to install... Can I flash strait from CM to Stock JB or is it better to flash a Stock ICS before? Plus, those releases have just a .md5 file as ICS releases. I just select then in PDA and press Start? Because I remember the first JB ROM that leaked had more than a file inside. And when I flashed the JB just selecting the .md5 in PDA, when I restart the phone it gave me a error, like if it was corrupted. So... How do I install?

Sorry my bad english.

Thanks in advanced.
[Galaxy S II General] levysmv:
How can i install this modem?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
You can flash the tar.md5 straight through Odin without a problem, that single file should contain all parts required inside it. Just remember to do a full wipe, which is highly recommended when going from CM to stock (it is highly recommended when flashing any new ROM, but in this case I would say it is essential).

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II General] the_biu:
Thanks for the reply first... So, I just select the .tar.md5 file in PDA, right? And then just press Start to flash it. Is that it?

Sorry for the questions, is just that the first time I flashed it I got that error kind saying something got corrupted.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
Yup, that's pretty much it...
[Galaxy S II General] Wildnick:
First: backup all your applications. I use Titanium Backup for this task. The backup shall be placed in your SD card.

Second: full wipe your phone.

Third: Use ODIN to install the new ROM.

I think there is an issue with my phone and I know BBS can tell me if there is an app or service that is causing wakelocks, etc.

Does the brazilian Galaxy S2 version have Digital TV?
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
No, it doesn't. Neither does the S3. Only the first Galaxy S had it.
[Galaxy S II General] nosklo:
Charge your phone to full, then install it and open to activate it. After that unplug your phone from the power outlet leave your phone alone for the night, like for 8h or more. Then check the "Since Unplugged" stats on the application. You can generate a report from the application and send it to the thread.

In Galaxy S2 the recovery partition is not used, the actual recovery is stored in the kernel partition together with the kernel. So the only way to change recovery is to install a new kernel. The ZIP you mention opens the recovery but doesn't flash it. To change recovery install a kernel, like Siyah Kernel for S2, or Dorimanx Kernel, or maybe CyanogenMod Kernel. All those kernels come with custom recovery in the kernel, so when you flash it you also replace the recovery.

I've been using Siyah kernel with great success. (It works with stock rom, and allows dual boot).

If I helped please click on THANKS below.
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
If you are using a stock ROM and want to keep using the stock kernel, search for chainfire's CF-Kernel that is compatible with your ROM.

Every time a new stock firmware is released Chainfire takes the stock kernel, roots it and changes the recovery to include CWM, without making any tweaks or changes to the kernel itself.

Best regards.

Did you flash it through Odin/Mobile Odin? When I used to flash it through either of them, I used to have battery problems afterwards as well. Try to give it a couple of full cycles (100% - 0% - 100%) and see if it still happens.

One method that worked for me a lot was to let it charge to 100% (waiting for the full battery notification), remove the battery, wait for a while (to let it cool off - maybe 5, 10, 15 minutes), put it back and recharge it again until the full battery notification pops up.

Best regards, mate.

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

Você flasheou pelo Odin/Mobile Odin? Quando eu fazia os flashes por qualquer um dos dois eu costumava ter problemas com a bateria também. Tenta fazer alguns ciclos de carregamento (100% - 0% - 100%) e vê o que acontece.

Um método que funcionou muito comigo foi deixar carregar até o 100% (esperando a notificação de bateria completamente carregada), remover a bateria, esperar um pouco com ela removida (para deixar ela "descansar" - talvez uns 5, 10, 15 minutos), colocar ela de volta e recarregar de novo até a notificação de bateria completamente carregada aparecer de novo.

Hi, yesterday I installed this rom: [ROM][LS8][04.02]Custom Stock ROM 4.0™ Edition (Codename: ETERNITY)[1] which worked perfectly in my samsung s2 i9100. Today I tried to update SuperSu, but it asked to install in recovery mode. After my mobile rebooted, it only shows the samsung galaxy logo. I tried to enter in recovery mode and didn't work; the download mode works. I sent zImage again and didn't worked. What I should do? I use heimdall in linux.

Oi, ontem eu instalei essa rom: [ROM][LS8][04.02]Custom Stock ROM 4.0™ Edition (Codename: ETERNITY)[1], a qual funcionou perfeitamente no meu samsung s2 i9100. Hoje apareceu uma atualização no google play para o SuperSu. Ao fazer a atualização do su, ele pedia para reiniciar no modo recovery. Quando o celular rebootou para fazer essa atualização, ele não saiu mais da tela do logo. Tentei entrar pelo recovery e não vai, só o modo de download funciona. Enviei o zImage da Eternity e nao funcionou. O que devo fazer?

As long as you are able to access download mode you can still flash a stock ROM with Odin on Windows OS and recover your device from this softbrick (I am completely unfamiliar with Heimdall on Linux OS, so I can't say anything about it).

As for the reason why you got softbricked in the first place, you should look at the custom ROM's original thread, as it seems like some sort of incompatibility issue (I'm also unfamiliar with that custom ROM).

Once you have flashed the stock ROM you should be able to reflash the custom ROM you were using before or pick up another custom ROM of your wish without any problems.

Best regards and good luck, mate.

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

Enquanto você conseguir acessar o modo download você consegue flashear uma ROM stock usando o Odin no Windows e recuperar o seu aparelho desse softbrick (eu não sou nem um pouco familiarizado com o Heimdall no Linux, logo não posso falar a respeito dele).

Quanto ao motivo do softbrick, você deveria olhar no tópico específico dessa ROM customizada, porque isso está com cara de problema de incompatibilidade (eu tabém não estou nem um pouco familiarizado com esta ROM customizada).

Assim que você flashear a ROM stock você deve conseguir reflashear a ROM customizada que você estava usando ou escolher qualquer outra custom ROM ao seu gosto, sem problemas.

Abraço e boa sorte.

By the way, that does look like the old bootloop problem the first official JB ROMs had, so my advice to you is to try to use a newer ROM, maybe LSD or LSE based ROM, as they seem to have this bootloop problem fixed.

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

Por falar nisso, parece que foi um problema de bootloop que as primeiras ROMs Jelly Bean oficiais tinham, então meu conselho é que você tente usar uma ROM mais recente, talvez uma baseada nas ROMs LSD ou LSE, que parecem ter esse problema de bootloop corrigido.

I'm currently using the latest stock XWKJ3 with CSC XEN (Netherlands), using under Oi (or BrT as you may prefer define this s**t) network. The GPS , is really amazing out-of-the-box, far the best without any kind of fixes for using in Brazil (simply not needed as I'm getting about 5-10m precision indoors!!!), and the reception has been really great so far. It also feels faster and smoother, definitely much better than all previous ROMs I've used so far. I think that Samsung is finally finding its way through android (possibly also the results of hiring Cyanogen for their in-house team).

Nevertheless, Wi-Fi still the same s**t, and it has only PT-PT, and not PT-BR. As prefer using EN-GB, for me this last point is not an issue at all.
