Better than LPB but not as good as LP6

I've been running on LPH for more than 3 days and here is my list of points:

None of the apps has crashed yet

Touch is not good enough

The battery usage is a real mess... 20% in 1hr 45mins - the worse usage on ICS

Battery is not getting hot as much as in LPB or LP6

If I install a font for system it is not working for all apps as whatsapp, twitter, smart keyboard... fonts fully work on LP6

If I press a link I get sometimes to the last page I opened but not the one I pressed... also happened no previous leaks

Modem has been working around 3.5Mbps... not bad

Bootloader not needed... at least I didn't flashed it since I'm using the older that allows me to reset flash counter

To laggy when opening an app like twitter, facebook, whatsapp... I get a black screen and takes about 8 secs to open the app

OTG cable is not working... no usb drives, no keyboard, no mouse

No tun.ko module... have to wait for final release

Winamp stops playing sometimes but doesn't crash at all... this issue wasn't present in other leaks.

Exchange client font size changes only a little the font size... the app just displays text in Big (tiny), bigger (normal) o biggest (large) sizes... the change in font size is minimum... this also happened on LPB but LP6 changed literally font size to a real tiny size.

Icons in notification bar are bigger than ever... the mail icons are ugly... small icons look better (like LP6)

Twitter contacts still not syncing (twitter issue)

GPS locks faster and no gpsfix is flashed

Tethering working fine, no issues are detected with it... I mean, mobile data is not interrupted and there is no need to restart tethering

I get "sd card not mounted" when phone boots... I have to go to "storage" and wait for it to be mounted, then lock the screen and unlock it to remove the message from screen...

Camera is slow when loading

I still loving LP6... LPH is stable but has some issues there that need to be fixed...
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
I don't have any of the negative issues you mentioned, apart from the icons in the status bar. Doesn't bother me.

Battery life and performance has been terrific for me.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
But it comes with free candy :o

Some people do that per hour :D

Eyup, that's what you should do.

While it's running pretty smooth and stable in general, there's still some bugs hidden every now and then.

I had it running over the weekend and loved it, didn't really encounter issues - but didn't try everything.
[Galaxy S II General] fujidave:
Wow, and here I was thinking that forums were meant for people to share information and provide support. That reminds me why I don't bother posting here.

Cheers for not answering my question and generally describing why XDA developers has such a bad rep right now. You should be proud. Here's a gold star...
[Galaxy S II General] catolh:
This happened to me when i had CF kernel flashed. The same way some apps could not install (Cannot install to USB or SD Card). It worked after i flashed the stock kernel after i had rooted the device with CF's kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] bahaa89:
How come Swype is preinstalled in XXLPH and I can't find it in system/apps?
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Maybe because it's in Settings->Input as keyboard?
[Galaxy S II General] bahaa89:
No it's not... really weird ! I can't find libSwypeCore either
[Galaxy S II General] Primedoughnut:
It's a nice build, the only problem I'm having with it regards the gallery. It displays pictures fine, but everytime I try to set a picture to lockscreen or wallpaper from the 'Camera' directory on the external or internal memory, the app fails and crashes.

Anybody else having this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
Swype wasn't installed on xxlph (by Intratech). I had to install it by myself.

Poweramp is not working.

Battery is draining.
[Galaxy S II General] zee54:
Flashed it on saturday night and been very pleased with it so far :)

Came from KK5 2.3.6 and other than a few very small little issues it's been silky smooth. Good on the battery too :)

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Nope, no problems here. I have set my wallpaper from the homescreen using the option in the menu, and just now tried it from within the Gallery app and it all works smoothly on pics from the 'Camera' directory and other directories.

Might be worth restarting the phone and/or trying a re-flash.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Swype comes preinstalled on the version in this thread.

Also, I am having very good battery life, very little drain. My Android OS is only 18% after 3h 40m on battery (CPU Time - 17m 54s, Keep awake 1h 55m).

I flashed the rom on this thread, using the 3 seperate files and it did a clean wipe as I was coming from the KK5 rom (2.3.6). I didn't restore any of my apps from backups but did fresh downloads and installs from the market place, which I find is the best way when installing a new rom.

Might be worth a shot if you're still having large problems.
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
I'm also having great battery life compared to stock GB and the ICS previous leaks. I'm now leaving my wifi on all day and I'm only charging @ night.
[Galaxy S II General] oscarmalo:
this kernel and modem working very nice! i'm using in my SII
[Galaxy S II General] titynakrani:
Only a question

Will this upgrade make my phone slower??
[Galaxy S II General] niwaywood:
Ok thanks I'll try that :)
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I don't think it's slower, but it isn't faster either.if you don't wish to backup and experiment with ROMs just wait 2-3 weeks for Samsung's official release.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Disable forced hardware acceleration. I had same issue and someone on here solved it for me in this thread a couple of days ago. Worth subscribing to these threads to keep up to date with any bugs that appear.

I'm finding the browser faster and smoother than gingerbread, browsermark and sunspider prove it definitely is faster too.
[Galaxy S II General] tapperace2010:
Not had this fault

Try wiping full, then re-doing through odin, and use PIT file should work great i have had no issues at all with this rom.

Hey guys, does anyone know how i can get the Aosp Gallery working on XXLPH, i have the apk from XDA and installed it but it doesnt display ?? thanks for anyhelp:)
[Galaxy S II General] y2kkingboy:
Just a question. Does this work on I9100G? If not, can you develop the leak to work on the G version.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
i'm confused, isnt xlpb supposed to be newer than xlph? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
Simply: NO!
[Galaxy S II General] mannyvzla:
Naah. LPH is the most recent leak and it's pretty stable and fast. I guess the OP has mistaken the screenshot
[Galaxy S II General] TehH4rRy:
He even says that they are screenshots from XXLPB, There is nearly no difference in screenshots between versions, apart from some numbers on the about page :p
[Galaxy S II General] benwalker:
Does anyone know of a way to reduce the size of the icons to the left in the notification bar? Apologies if this has been answered, I tried searching to no avail.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
There doesn't seem an option anymore to use WPS to connect to a network :(
[Galaxy S II General] msaraiva:
I see you use Exchange...well, of course battery is draining. There's a constant wakelock because of push mail. You can confirm it with BetterBatteryStats. It's a known bug since the first ICS build.
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Other bug i found with the exchange support is that i have missing folders. No subfolder can be shown below the inbox.

I have two Exchange accounts, and both display sub folders.

Odd.
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:

[Galaxy S II General] cc999:
Does your exchange accounts work? Can you open attachments?

Charlie C
[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
I am able to see sub folders , view & open attachments and no battery drain :-).

Can you guys full wipe and try again
[Galaxy S II General] RorixRebel:
Ive been on LPH for 4 days now and none of the things you mention happend to me, the only problem could be the size of the icons on the notification bar and the links not working correctly, aside from that the ROM is flawless

best baterry life i had experienced, managed to get 1d 13 hours out of it.
[Galaxy S II General] bahaa89:
Anyone knows what is Swype application name in system/apps ??
[Galaxy S II General] stupotty1210:
WARNING. when flashing over latest stock gingerbread ROM, make sure all upper settings on ODIN are ticked. re-partition, f.reset, and the other option in the center. "cant remember what its called"

and make sure you download: u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit.

AND LOAD THIS INTO ODIN.

if you DONT do all this you will get DATAFS freeze!

OP needs to update his install guide.

had to get a guide from a 3rd party site to compete the flash.

P.S FLASH COMPLETED BY GSII NOOBS.

1st EVER FLASH.

BOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOM :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] hedgepigdaniel:
I'm getting much more stable 3G reception on XXLPH vs XXLPB. Not sure if its the modem or the kernel or something else, but its definitely better.
[Galaxy S II General] 4ktvs:
oh crap!!!!!!!!

I can't get Odin to open. redownloaded a few times, now trying old XXLPB odin to flash with.( I don't know were else to get get)

I should not have killed odin with the old ICS build. (Why did I do it WHY!!!)
[Galaxy S II General] hasen34:
I am using XXLPH for a few days. My phone doesnt vibrate when ring sound open.İt only rings when sound is closed. İs it a mistake or am i cant find to open vibrating and sound.
[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
Its know issue. please install sound manager & go to vibrate setting n enable vibrate with sound.
[Galaxy S II General] snudel:
I am also having the problem, that apps cant install after flashing the rooted kernel.

I also went back to stock and all is fine.

Can someone tell me hot to install stock kernel only? Without wiping the device.

I could live without root till chainfire found the problem
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Root and then flash stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] snudel:
I need otherwise its useless.

When take the file from first post, and just take PDA file it will wipe my phone. No chance for titanium.

So please provide the kernel only.
[Galaxy S II General] KuNgZi:
I'm flashing this xxlph firmware. I hope this is good.:p
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
Have you tried to "unmount" your sd-card first, then install your app's then "remount" your sd-card..?

If you want your app's on your sd-card, you can move them after installing to the phone first..
[Galaxy S II General] snudel:
I didnt move anything. I am trying to install them via market

update:

managed to get it working.

for all folks with this prob:

follow procedure post 1.

then extract kernel from rom (zImgae) file.

flash with CWM tool from within the phone

flash root kernel with CWM from within the phone

done.

works perfectly.

thanks button always welcome ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bahaa89:
I'm using XXLPH for a few days, everything is good excepe that I'm facing the "Android OS" bug... it's always 50%-90% usage of the battery.... Anyone having this issue ?
[Galaxy S II General] ionutzm05:
I just hate this annoying Samsung ICS lockscreen. Any .zip that I can flash to get the AOSP ICS Lockscreen? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] zee54:
I am using an exchange account for my hotmail and having noticed any battery drain or wakelock issues.

What I have noticed with exchange though is that it deletes emails off the server okay but if i read an email on my phone it doens't seem to mark it as read on the server. So when I log into hotmail on the computer it still shows those emails as new and unread.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
You can disable the lock screen and use widget locker or another one from the market. It's hard to change from widget locker after customizing it for flashlight, camera, email, texts, phone, silent and with a nice ics ring :-)
[Galaxy S II General] zee54:
Personally that doesn't sound right to me. I've always been told to NEVER tick Re-Partition, I'm not too sure exactly what it does, but doesn't sound too healthly.

I came from GB 2.3.6, and all I did was follow the OP's instructions and install the PDA, Modem and CSC files. I didn't load the new bootloader nor did i use the .PIT file (the download didn't have one in it), and everything for me seems to be running fine for me :)

If you get a DATAFS freeze during odin, just switch the phone off (might need to pull the battery), start up back into download mode, close and open odin and restart the flash like normal. Sometimes Odin runs into problems and freezes. It happens, you shouldn't need to change any of the settings.

Anyway, where did you get the .PIT file from?? The last couple of leaks I have downloaded from this thread haven't come with .PIT file. OP says it is optional and not really necessary but does it help to have one?? Is it actually better to flash with a .PIT file than to flash without it?
[Galaxy S II General] stupotty1210:
we tried a few times as the OP instructed, but DATAFS freeze kept happening. after seeing a diffrent guide it worked 1st time for us.

just google the PIT file name in google, 1st link will be the download.

we didnt use the bootloader ether.
[Galaxy S II General] tanct48:
Will i be able to flash XXLPH from ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB??
[Galaxy S II General] slippyr4:
It's not a system app. First boot after a reset "installs" several apps (presumably because there's a lack of free space on /system).

You'll find the apk in /data/app

(com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk)
[Galaxy S II General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
Hi all,

Sure. I did it a few days ago, from LPB to LPH.

I think is good to do it.

I did not activate the Bootloader, when Odin.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] zee54:
Oh okay, that's a little strange, i've never really had any problems myself. But as long as you have it working now I guess thats the main thing.

Thanks for the PIT file. I've never used one in the past and it doesn't seem to have caused any problems so I'm not sure if I will use it.

Can anyone tell me whether it's good to use the PIT file or not and what it's for exactly?

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Looks like I have answered my own question regarding the .PIT File. Just did a quick forum search and found this ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1251901&highlight=pit+file

Quick answer: PIT File is ONLY needed when using Re-Partition, and you only need to Re-Partition is you somehow managed to ruin the existing partition. If you are doing a Re-Partition, you MUST have a .PIT File.

@stupotty1210 - You must've somehow done something to your existing partition which is why you needed to tick Re-Partition and use the PIT File to correct it before you flashed the new ROM. This might also explain why you kept having problems with Odin when using the OP's instructions.

Hope this helps clear things up :)
[Galaxy S II General] penfold99:
You can try this one, it works for me...
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
Exchange has stopped working. Connection error. Reinstall brings no cure.

Anyone knows a solution?
[Galaxy S II General] abilge:
I have been using XXLPH for over a week now and I can say that I am having battery performances even better than 2.3.x. The only things that bother me are

-the unresponsive thouchscreen,

-the new style of the phone app which does not contain the contacts tab

Other than these, it is nearly complete.

To everyone using Viber app, which wasn't working on Android 4.0.x: an updated app version was released yesterday, Feb 20th (version 2.1.3.575) and now it works flawlessly on XXLPH (I just tested).

You LPH capture with menu+power?
[Galaxy S II General] ronj1986:
To disable(freeze) apps, go to Settings> Applications> All....click on the system app that you would like to disable(freeze). In the right corner should be an option to disable. You can only disable system apps, not downloaded apps, also some apps can't be disabled this way.

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Same here. It will drain battery if I'm not using the phone, due to apps not obeying the Disable Background Data feature I have selected. If I'm not using my device, I turn wifi off also to save battery power

Its the home button + power button for screen shot.
[Galaxy S II General] Edwrib:
Finaly fugured out, it's power+home (ICS), not home+power like in gingerbread.
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
Yes that's correct, menu and power
[Galaxy S II General] lstrike:
On the international sgs2? Mine is Home + Power. Menu + Power does nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
Home/ Menu same thing for me LOL, sorry! Yes to be technically correctly, Home + Power = Screenshot
[Galaxy S II General] joker2mbr:
No, it looks like account sync doesn't work properly yet on ICS. But at least the main app works: we can open it, select a given contact and actually make VOIP calls.

Previously you couldn't even open the app on ICS, as it would crash right away...
[Galaxy S II General] Edwrib:
For me is home key too (my bad, edited my post)

But the point is need press power

before

home, in gingerbread you need to press home before.
[Galaxy S II General] joker2mbr:
Anyone else noticed a problem using Bluetooth A2DP audio streaming (it's skipping all over)? I tried using the default music app, PowerAmp and none worked properly for me.

I can confirm this feature was working flawlessly on Gingerbread (2.3.4, 2.3.5 and 2.3.6).

I'm really starting to get annoyed with the scrolling :mad: ... It worked so well on GB, why did they need to change it so that now when it swype up or down it scrolls like 3/4 lines and you have to continuously swipe until your fingers fall off before you get to the bottom of the page!! Change it back!!

Also, is it just me, or have they removed the 2 & 3 finger swipe gestures?? :confused:

2 finger swipe used to have no recoil and the page would stop scrolling as soon as u lifted ur fingers (not THAT useful). But a 3 finger swipe would scroll quickly to the top or bottom of the page/list, this came in quite handy at times. Now I can't seem to get either to work :(
