It's in German but I could understand the key words, so, you can also.

[Galaxy S II General] tuxStyle:
Thanks.

I guess it was too good to be true :P
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Well, it says it is based on Linux kernel 2.6.25.14 while Siyah's is 2.6.35.14..

I suspect it is a typo on the German kernel. It also does not mention any support for two cores. That, of course, does not mean it does not, but the Siyah 2.1.1 kernel works no nicely, I doubt I will try this kernel.. If anyone is really bored - go for it, and let us know how it goes.

BTW- Since Google Translate is out, I read many languages.. :)

Camera app?

Excellent build, thanks. Tried both .11 and .9 and both work without any notable problems (other than the camera, for me).

Has anyone found a 3rd party camera app that yields better results? Or are you finding that all apps are equally handicapped by the hw driver issue?
[Galaxy S II General] tilaksidduram:
I'm using Galnet ICS 1.11.9 Rom with Siyah kernel 2.2 beta6 . My phone battery is at 65%, it has been 30 + hrs since the phone was last charged. Looks like this kernel is giving better battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
The linux version is typo, it's the same as syiah, the dual core app from tegrak doesn't work with it but at least it shows that cores are either working both or just one, so, it has some threshold for enabling second core. I have flashed it, it has only three governors, supports oc/uv will try more. I don't care about multiple features, for me battery life is essential.

Nobody else got this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Vignette from the market is doing some improvments, yet far fro beig as good as the Samsung camera app..

Since most of my pics taking require lower resolution (need to send them, don't want 2Mbyte file) I use fast burst camera.
[Galaxy S II General] madduckuk:
ill tell you what has impressed me more than anything about the ICS 11.09 + Siyah combo, the pattern lockscreen is ridiculously smooth :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
Fast burst? I think quality there is kinda poor, but of course good for sending. I found that camera zoom also do burst but in higher resolution and better quality. Well, using fast burst camera myself, also like lgcamera.

[Galaxy S II General] benjo:
I got this problem, but when I was using CheckRom. I was using Poweramp so I think it may be that.
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Just an educational comment - Since GB 2.3.3 both cores are accessible, however it does not really use two cores in the 'dual core' fashion. Core 0 suppose to be the master and hand over tasks to core 1. So the fact you have a tool that can 'see' the two cores, is not actually allowing you using both. Even with Kernels that suppose to send tasks to the second core (Samsung recommends 60% busy on core 0 as the threshold to make core 1 operative) I am not quite sure there is actually sharing of CPU on the same tasks. Most likely, if anything, that some tasks occupy core 0 and core 1 kicks in when core 0 is loaded with 50% or more, by taking the next task. I think this is the best we can get right now, as GB is not really allowing two CPU's share the same task. I am not an expert on this (I have hardware background, but not software) but judging by performance, it does not seem going with a 'dual core supported' kernel there is a major change. I may be completely wrong, of course. Either way, at least I made this thread climb close to the top of the forum again, hehehe.. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Yes u are correct. ICS should see a big improvement in this aspect of load management .
[Galaxy S II General] kenny17430:
Hi,

I also have installer Miui ICS on my sgs2, but at first I installed a wrong rome I guess, cause I took it from the thread sgs 2 AT&T which resulted in the setting seing samsung SGTH 770, I think it was this model number but still was working perfectly reaching 4800 in quadrant, but then I re downloaded the right ROM since then I only reach 3200 in quadrant.

ANy of you guys are around 4800 with this rom ?

thanks,
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Not that this test is the ultimate comparison tool, but my score on it, running Siyah kernel (I use version 2.1.1) is around 4,400. I never know if running it gives different results due to other background tasks.

I would say the only way to compare apples with apples is to try and run it with the same apps installed, under same setup and configuration, and on the same device. Comparing it any other way is meaningless.. and the most important thing - what makes the difference to YOU is the important thing. I had before ROMs with 5,000 on this test, and they were boring, stock ROM like, and I have replaced them. ICS 1.11.9 is one of the few ROMs I have on my phone from the day it was introduced, and I don't see a reason to change it. I think only a complete port of ICS 4.0 will make me try another ROM. Besides the camera quality - it's near perfection.
[Galaxy S II General] linggo:
+1 absolutely right :)
[Galaxy S II General] kenny17430:
Sorry I might sound mean, but have you read what I wrote ? I never asked to compare any scores, the problem is that with my same phone but with the same miui rom I have a difference of 2800 to 4800 to quadrant, therefore there is an issue somewhere.

Secondly I have a lot of Force close in the market app, also when I go into system/about phone.

Do you have these issues too ?

regards,
[Galaxy S II General] Martin5000:
Could be a general ROM (the Galnet ICS MIUI) issue. I haven't tried it on my SGSII yet, but it does sound exactly like my experience with it on my Desire HD.
[Galaxy S II General] Ali I Hagen:
I'm the only who problem playing videos with this rom? Using mostly GalnetVideo and problem playing every single video I have on the phone. They are not able to playback or open the files.

Anyone knows a solutions? :)
[Galaxy S II General] madduckuk:
Are we expecting an update on this style of rom or has it been discarded now the source code is out?
[Galaxy S II General] Coedy:
probably changing from just the framework to the full ICS with MIUI Incorporated... Guessing it may take time?

Ive not seen them say anything about stopping it on their own forum?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Obviously you are not, and obviously you don't read or search this thread.. it has been mentioned several times. HD video sucks on all CM7 based ROMs, including all MIUI, for the S2 phones. Even stills are far from being as good as Samsung ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
First of, yes, I did read, and I can't tell if you run the test in the same conditions. I still think it isn't just the ROM making the different results. As for the Market - yes, known issue, for all of us, but only by trying to scroll the pics.. all it is you not really found the reading.. ;) but I am cool with that. Lastly - what else gives you FC? If it is not the market - then you shall clean cache and dalvik, and re- install the ROM. It should not give you that, and maybe it also explains the test results..
[Galaxy S II General] yuandroidhi:
I have a problem when I calling...

I cant hear my friend sound,,and he said if he doesn't too...
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Will glad to help if I knew what have you done..

1. Was the phone working fine before? What ROM did you have?

2. What is your modem version ? Is your phone the AT&T version or not?

3. When you installed the ROM, did you wipe anything?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Some current observeations

I am running Siyah ver 2.2.b15 and it runs smooth. BT give no issues (fix is already made at 2.2b10)

What I don't like is the USB behavior. As soon as the SD cards (internal and external) are hooked to a windows XP computer (at least with Dell) the phone will freeze and reboot after 30 seconds as soon as I disconnect the USB cable. This happens regardless if I dismounted the logic drives or just yanked the cable out.

I also witnessed today the SD card bug (over heat, and battery rapid discharge) when I've got a new 32Gig SD card. I copied the the content of my 16Gig card and without format, tried to copy content. As soon as my pics were copied, the heating started, and copying anything else failed. Quick formatted the new SD and am copying content back. Will see how it goes after that..

Anyone notice the volume won't go higher than about 40% while listening to music?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Works fine on mine. what kernel do you have? Try flashing Siyah 2.1.1 and see if it gets better. Some issues with CWM 5.xx and MIUI is reported from time to time.. Siyah uses CWM 5.xx but I have no problem creating a backup file ..
[Galaxy S II General] Riccardo83:
Ok, flashed, no md5 sum error. Thanks. So u are using it too? Like it. Will test it more and check if it had any impact on the crashing market.

Can u play aroudn on ur marekt for a bit and see if when u look at the apps' images for a while it causes an error or crash or wrong rotatioon?
[Galaxy S II General] escalebur:
Hi every body,,

First of all, thanx for this post :)

My question is : is this rom stable enough, cause i wana flash it for my freind and in galnet forum they sayed that the rom is not enough stable .... :confused: :D

sank you :D
[Galaxy S II General] Riccardo83:
so far so good 2 days testing. apparently the market crashing issue is known. not a rom bug, its the market itself... so nothing to worry. in order to backup use siyah kernel. just flash galnet and then the kernel on top using cwm

EDIT: I found one more bug, when u merge contacts, the search function when it doesnt find a suitable contact does not work.

can u guys confirm this?
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
For market FC, just change the language to English UK or US
[Galaxy S II General] Riccardo83:
what do u mean? the whole rom is english.

and did u check the error when merging a contact?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Well, market will FC when scrolling on the pics of an application. I tried changing locale language as suggested, and be back on US English but this did not fix it. Oh well, this feature is not that important. I can live without looking at the pics..
[Galaxy S II General] BdA2:
what up guys ?

does it support arabic language?

I know the ICS support alot of languages its self....
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
See here: http://hotfile.com/dl/134659356/755b676 ... x.zip.html

Although it is called ICS, it is only ICS framework, not a complete port, so you still need RTL fix to support Arabic..
[Galaxy S II General] Riccardo83:
I found one more bug, when u merge contacts, and no appropriate contact was found to merge to, you are offered a search function. but searching does not work when merging contacts.

can u guys confirm this?

[Galaxy S II General] kwhkkwhk:
Everything is great- smoothness, battery imo, etc.

but just wanted reiterate and list out the stuff that are still there.

1) Volume 50% Bug

2) LED Capacitive Buttons are ALWAYS on

3) Market (scrolling pictures) Crash

4) Call Recording Doesn't Work...

5) Video Playback performance..blows

ALSO

I find that I am incompatible for so many APPS its crazy! I can't even install the paid version of Titanium because of the market saying its not there and the market website saying its "Incompatible." NO i did not mess with any LCD density stuff, but is this MIUI? or is this my location problem? I use Market ENABLER btw..

Im guessing this has something to do with the market app or MIUI..

somebody help if possible.

thanks

Hey Mat/Galnet,

Thanks so much for your time in replying. Glad to hear about a release/developer that actually pays attention to these details. Wanted to reply on the forum but "forgot my password" wasnt working.

Hope you aren't working yourself too hard. Btw, I wanted to buy the galnet forum app, but its incompatible with my device.. dont know if this because of the framework, rom, or just miui..

really appreciate your efforts

Indeed, and it works just great. Flashed without wipe, and running siyah kernel 2.2 .

Noticeable changes;

a) added a tool to setup desktop and top bar. Pretty cool. Not sure if this is a MIUI tool or Galnet, buy grateful for it.

b) THE bug of same ringtone to email and SMS, regardless of choice, is fixed.

Looks other minor bugs fixed. See log. I will fix the thread header to 1.11.26 as soon as I get it not through the XDA browser..

trying to install the new ics build coming from checkrom. Ive wiped data/cache factory reset, installed zip but still it wont get past the miui flashscreen. Ive installed 3 times now.

Yep, I have the same problem. I'm trying to flash the latest from http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/download/ics-builds/.

Even after wiping everything and formatting /system, I get a bootloop.
[Galaxy S II General] tedo911:
To prevent bootloops, do the following:

1. Flash the weekly build (1.11.25)

2. Boot up the phone normally.

3. Reboot into Recovery.

4. Flash the stable ICS build (2.11.26) without wiping.
[Galaxy S II General] devaeron:
how to install?

umm sorry for asking

i come from cognition 1.5.1 and ninpetanime kernel

what i've done was

i used CWM app instead of ROM Manager

but i still managed to get into recovery mode which is version 4.0.0.2

and after that i:

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition(is this equal to dalvik cache?)

3. install zip from sdcard and i choose the miuiscotland_19100-2.11.26-ICS.zip

4. after that what i need to done is reboot only right?

but still keep seein the logo...

update:

succeded instal the rom directly without wiping, but what i got was the process android acore was stopped unexpectedly..

so i look into some forums and said that it was because i'm not wiping my data, but if i wipe my data i only able to see the MI Galnet boot looping again and again...

thank you for any assistance and sorry for this noob question, cheers

Back to 1.11.9

Oh well,

Not sure why, and if this is Siyah's kernel or Galnet ROM, but ver 2.2 Siyah kernel used to work just fine with 1.11.9 and with 2.11.26 my phone gets the sleep of death. I have seen this 3-4 time the recent 24 hours, and since my phone can not be woken up, unless I remove the battery and reboot, and even then, it will happen on me almost immediately after screen is off again, I went back to 1.11.9

Anyone else experience it?
[Galaxy S II General] kenny17430:
To be honest I had the sleep of death on the 1.11.9 with siyah 2.2 kernel but since I went to 2.11.26 I don't have it anymore...
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
I am going to try it again. Let's see. The 1.11.9 never did it former, but since you have no freeze, maybe it was a bad flash.. will report soon..

Running 2.11.26 with original kernel for the next few hours. For now the phone is quick and responsive..

Im assuming if you are on a rom based on the samsung rom (ie. lightning etc) and are on a kernel that is based on the samsung kernel (ie. nephantine) you can just follow these instructions:

Battery life

A bit premature report- but with the built in Kernel, and no Overclocking/undervaluing , and withut Juice defender installed, I have about 4% per hour drain BEFORE calibration (drain and full charge) .

My baseline until now, with undervolting and Ultimate juice was - 4% after calibration.

I'd say it is safe to assume battery life is as good or better than other ROMs I tried.

As for BUGS - all the ones reported until now on this thread do not show on my phone. I have to assume a full wipe is the answer. yes, it's annoying, but within 30 minutes of work after flashing- I have a very stable phone.

All my market apps work fine. Phone is cool (warmup is typical only when the SD card is scanned for music/pics) , battery life is more than decent (average 24 hours between charging, can't ask for more) , everything seems to work just fine. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Flashin MIUI based ROM on top of any non MIUI

I would ask all the noobs that are new to ROM flashing in general, and to MIUI in particular to do the following:

1. Take a deep breath.

2. Spend an hour or so reading anything that 'MIUI' is in its topic before any other activity.

3. Learn the pro and cons going to MIUI and decide if you really want to have so much freedom defining HOW it will look and feel (hint- lots of work)

4. Be prepared to run Alpha/Beta and don'y ***** about bugs, just kindly report them AFTER doing some reading to figure out was it already reported, and maybe even fixed..

5. Back up everything. Heck- even make sure you have Odin and CF-root handy. I have bricked my phone twice with MIUI to a point CWM was gone !

6. Know the stinking yellow triangle of Samsung counter may show it's ugly head if you use Odin (but this is not MIUI specific).

7. Be prepared to wipe the phone clean, and work a bit to gain everything back.

If I did not scare you until now, you are a worthy tester for the Galnet MIUI ICS ROM..
[Galaxy S II General] aussie1234:
I agree!

I agree with post 31 above.

But must also add that MIUI is very customisable and great to use. Yeah it's a little more time-consuming regarding customising but well worth it.

Frankly I haven't gone back to a stock based rom since flashing MIUI.

Keep up the great work and thanks!!

Aussie
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
I agree too

Same here- never went back to any non MIUI ROM. Obviously you define pretty much why we both on it - can be greatly customized..

So for those who are 'iPhone' users (not a bad word- I mean ones who everything is setup for them) maybe it's not for you. For the rest - give it a try. All i can say this 1.11.7 by Galnet is VERY stable, if you follow the first rule of flash - full wipe..
[Galaxy S II General] wali01x:
hey guys i know this question hasn't been asked but i tried asking this in langtang's thread but never got any answer. so what id like to know is this. is it possible to use sammy's camera anytime soon because miui is good but just i miss sammy's camera and its clarity and all compared to miui cam. also what about video calling? isn't that supported as of yet compared to stock sammy's rom? i tried using skype to no use of video calling. i mean miui and this ice cream topping on it is just amazing and are not even the words to explain it but those 2 things are throwing me wanna go back to stock :( i hope someone can clarify those things for me..

[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
I agree with post 31 as well but slightly disagree with your mention of "...Yeah it's a little more time-consuming regarding customising..." I think MIUI is far better at customising than any other ROM out there. Themes are 100% better than anything else out there IMO... copy theme to sd and hit apply?
[Galaxy S II General] xelin0:
I initially downloaded this and cyanogenmod 7 simply to test them out. I was wiping my phone to install a new version of Omega (a very good ROM in its own right) and in between thought I'd check these out.

Cyanogen I like but the look and feel of it is offputting, and I am not particularly enamoured with ADWLauncher.

This on the other hand blew me away, it's fast, responsive, easily customisable.

Within seconds I found an app to create an App drawer, which was one thing I missed, and a Theme that emulates Ice Cream Sandwich (it was called Dark Ice, and its exceptional).

Loving that I found this, and so far no errors at all, although I've not tested much.
