[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
I'm not sure, you should probably use the previous firmware from October. BTW, what OS is 2013 SC03DOMMP3?

Also, Cyanogen 10 is ... somewhat stable. Some days it's extremely "rebellious" and goes down multiple times in a row, other times I get about a week before anything strange happens.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

A quick look here:

https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/sc03d

Shows that there is now a cyanogenmod 10.1 Japan remix available... You can use the 2013 SC03DOMMP3 if you want... there is no support for Puzzle Dragons right now I think, and sometimes the lock screen becomes flipped (mirrored? upside down? -- he says "flipped" but not what way)

Other than that, you can install all the latest and greatest fun stuff from GAPPS 4.2.2 :)

I'll probably screw with it this weekend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ext23:
so...this all worked fine and the Cyanogen ROM was running like a dream...until I then tried to root the phone. Now everything is fsked; the root didn't even work and I'm getting boot loops and unresponsive hardware buttons, etc. Tried both CWM and TWRP. Can't even seem to get the phone to go back to a stock firmware using Odin...

Halp! How do I do a factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
hrm.. ok.. if you're doing this.. once you put the Cyanogen on, you're rooted. You should have had super SU or SU root or something that manages your "root"-ness. To go back to your default or to start over... well... reboot to recovery/download and just flash the original firmware. As far as I know, as long as your phone is functioning, you just need to hold power and vol +/- and choose odin and flash sammobile/firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ext23:
I've tried almost every firmware from sammobile and I get a bootloop with the Samsung 'S' on every single one of them... ><

I am able to flash Cyanogen through CWM, BUT the back and menu keys don't work. The backlights are always on. Curiously it's the same in recovery; CWM and TWRP are the same. Hardware buttons broken!!

I'm freaking out, afraid I have somehow bricked my friend's phone. ><
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ext23:
Sorry for double post. Managed to fix the hardware buttons by flashing an old 2.3.6 official Docomo ROM, updating the touch keys firmware, then reflashing Cyanogen. However!

A new problem: my friend can't make or receive calls, even though her 3G and LTE are working fine. Suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
Sounds like your APN isn't set correctly? -- you probably need to get the settings, I manually entered it copying it from my wife's settings.. if you need it, I'll look in my settings and see if I can get it for you.

Here is the site for the rom and custom recovery:

https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/sc03d

Here is the site for gapps:

http://goo.im/gapps

Before doing anything, make sure you boot into recovery and do a factory reset and clear your cache, then download your rom and gapps:

ROM: [ROM] CyanogenMod10.1 JP Remix for SC-03D

Gapps: 20130301

I just put the latest firmware from sammobile: 20130302 - SC03DOMMP3 using Odin 3.07 on a japanese windows xp -- use PDA to flash it.

After it reboots, you need to flash the

[Recovery] CWM-based Galaxy S2 LTE Recovery V6

After you've installed CWM-based recovery, boot into recovery, sometimes holding both + & - volume keys while booting loads recovery and sometimes just holding volume up gets you into recovery.

Then use CWM to first flash your rom (don't forget to factory reset and clear cache)

Then flash your gapps (factory reset, clear cache)

reboot and it should work.

-----

So, anyway, I've had this in for over 2 days now, and I love it.

New minor Docomo firmware update.

http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/support/utilization/product_update/list/sc03d/

Released March 28th 2013

Fixes issue with unlock screen in wrong orientation.

Adds Google Books app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ext23:
if you could share the APN settings that would be good.

apart from that i did exactly the same as you and i'm confident that cyanogen installed properly. the fact that LTE works but the phone itself doesn't is just bizarre. the phone runs basically flawlessly otherwise.

EDIT: could installing the [Kernel] Android 4.2.x JellyBean MR1 for AOSP ROM on the github page fix any issues like this?

https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/sc03d
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
Oh! Geez -- I forgot to include that in my step by step instructions -- I'm not sure exactly what that does, but you should flash it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ext23:
The APN was already set fine, Cyanogen has that exact configuration built in.

Flashed the new kernel but still no volume in calls. >< I should specify, the phone RINGS and is able to place calls, but once the call is connected the Galaxy goes silent. No sound through the speaker and no sound picked up by the mic.

EDIT: Seems this is a pretty common problem on phones running CM10.1, including other versions of the Galaxy S2. No proven solution yet...hopefully the Japanese dev working on this ROM can update it ASAP.

Appears the AT&T S II Skyrocket, which hardware-wise is similar, is rolling out 4.1 updates. Now NTT just needs to butcher their own ROM...

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57579284-94/android-4.1-launches-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-skyrocket/?subj=News-Mobile&tag=feed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
Upgrading to 4.2.2 slimbean solved my problems with google talk and line phone calls. but, there's something weird with the camera app, when using video, what I see while recording is kinda zoomed in and pixelated, but the actual video turns out nicely. Also last night it crashed and just started vibrating over and over.

I tried posting in this 2ch thread, but apparently they block my ISP, my mobile's ISP and HMA's Japanese vpn... YaY

Anyway, if you follow this thread, you will be able to get the latest and greatest:

There have been a lot of positive reviews for JellyBam I feel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ext23:
thanks for this man, i'm keen to try this jellybam as well because やっぱり cyanogen has been fsking up a lot on my friend's phone.

do you know if you can just install the hercules ROM as-is from the jellybam official site? no need to play with kernels or anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
From reading the thread, it seems that Hercules (vs skyrocket - I know that wasn't the question) works best, I'm not sure what he's doing to the ROM before uploading it to his dropbox -- I grab a copy whenever I can -- but I do know that at least he's putting the APNs in for Japan. I had the 10.1 remix from last year, and most of the time it would work nicely, but sometimes it would just go into "failmode" -- freezing, rebooting, showing FC for apollo etc.. I am fairly confident you can install any Hercules rom as is, if you need to update the kernel, you can get it from kbc-developers git site, still no fix for the upside down log screen I think. I have installed liquid smooth once from their site and it worked fine, so I don't see why others wouldn't work.

cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ext23:
sorry, i'm missing something - is someone tweaking the jellybam ROMs being discussed on 2ch? or are you talking about the ROMs up here: https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/sc03d?

i was warned on 2ch not to install any hercules ROMs "as-is" but i just wanted a second opinion...

if you're talking about 2ch would you mind posting a link to the latest ROMs/kernels that you are using? as for the 'slim ROM' they are talking about...what is that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
Hmm.. I didn't see anything about that, but to be honest, I was only browsing for new releases, I wasn't following in too much depth.

You can get all the latest builds here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ipzpraesf0xn7at/9_M2TYkpFt

I've copied most of them to my own Dropbox because his tends to exceed bandwith. The version of JellyBam he upped is 7.6.0 and the latest is 7.6.2, I was thinking to do it as is, since I did liquid smooth once "as-is" and it worked out

I've been flashing the kernel from KBC-devs.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Sorry for double post... the slim rom is slim bean 4.2.x or something like that, you can get it from the dropbox link... among many other choices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
If you can get a copy of the new jellybam 4.6.2 from his dropbox, I'd be much obliged if you could repost it somewhere
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
Alright... so, Jellybam is forbidden on XDA -- Anyway, for any rom, not just Jellybam (which is popular on 2ch right now) you can follow this nice guide:

http://ime.nu/customromfun.hatenablog.com/entry/2013/04/26/100114

and you can set up your own custom rom.

This worked on my wife's xp japanese, but not on my win 7

cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Asitaka:
Dunno if anyone has tried flashing any custom ROMs, but it seems like the guys at KBC's release page have released a new kernel, and a new flashing tool.

I got the PACman 21.1.1 rom and tried fixing it and flashing it, but both skyrocket and hercules do not rotate correctly - I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? If so, how do I fix it?

cheers
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I'm running Calk's rom with the Rogue Outlaw kernel right now, but it's been happening ever since I first got the phone, even before I rooted. Sometimes incoming or outgoing texts just won't arrive...it's like they just disappear. I don't think it's an LOS issue, because I still have full bars, instead of the "no" circle.

Is this happening to anyone else? Am I just missing something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Yep, happens to me every now and then, if I reboot the phone, I get them.

Only way I know I get them is I use google voice, so texts come to my phone and my computer. I hear my computer go, and I wait for them on my phone, never show up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Oh, good call. I've noticed that if I send texts through the google voice app, they always go through, but if I try stock, handcent or Go SMS they just randomly drop, or show up hours later. Called Sprint, and they said that there weren't any service issues.

No idea what's going on, but it's annoying as hell.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already!

I posted this in another thread, but mine looks like this. Not terribly interesting apart from the Widget.

For anyone that is interested, I'm using ADW Launcher, the Widget is a Beautiful Widget with an opacity setting of 30% I think. I also hide the icon labels, as it makes it a lot cleaner! I set the Columns to 7 and the Rows to 6 to get as many icons on the screen as I could without it looking too crowded.

The widgets used are as follows:

Widget Type: Beautiful SuperClock 4x3 (Tablet) - I stretched it out so it fits the screen better

Super Clock Skin: honeyclock

Weather Skin: FlatWhite

I'm using the Dalvik Debug Monitoring Service (ddms.bat) in the tools directory of the Android SDK install. You must also have the correct drivers installed, which if you've rooted your KF, you should already have.

Once it's detected and connected to your device, you can go to Device > Screen Capture.

just went in to the file structure and replaced the image with my own. the wallpaper is from a poster who put up some alternate wallpapers to use instead of the defaults. i just pasted it 21 times in a folder and renamed them to the default names, so it never changes. in reality it's changing every time, it changes to the same pic each time. here's the pic. cant remember the link where i got it.

Thanks for input and again, sorry if it's a dumb questions.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ags29:
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most of us are rooted simply because a lot of ppl seem to have several apps only found on the Android market. Of course you can sideload them without the market, but I think that instead of going through all that trouble most ppl have just rooted and installed the market (especially since it's so easy to do and also allows you to take screenshots).

CM7 with ICS Theme

Go Launcher with Go FbWidget (blurred for privacy) and Go Calender Widget (both using ICS themes)

Beautiful Widgets (with ICS Theme)

Volume Control - Green bar at the top. Size, color, and location can be adjusted. Disappears after a couple seconds. Available in all windows, even full screen games or apps. Helps replace volume buttons.

Zmooth Lite - Blue box at the bottom. Size can be adjusted. Uses gestures for Home, Menu, and Back buttons. Also available in all windows, even full screen games or apps. Helps replace missing hardware buttons.

I have a couple Gestures setup in Go Launcher to hide the status bar and dock bar. This is using a 10x10 grid with icons set to 48 (can all be changed in Go Launcher settings). Make sure to uncheck Auto-fit items, as it makes stuff look squished. This is still a WIP, but I am pretty happy with it. I only run one screen.
