This is my exact problem.
[Galaxy S II General] zainqaiser:
That is why devs insist more on reading and less on flashing their roms....
[Galaxy S II General] GRiM-UK:
I've got absolutely no sympathy for you.

The GS2 was my first native Android device (Came from a HD2) and it took me less then a couple of hours after buying device to learn and flash a custom kernel and rom to it and this was because I could be bothered to read and learn before jumping in.

This reminds me of my fave video...

Like I said...I made a noob mistake after working all night and not paying attention this morning when i got home since i was all school girl giddy about ICS. I can get into dl mode but the phone is not recognized at all....tried reinstalling different drivers for international version and klies but no luck...thank you
[Galaxy S II General] zainqaiser:
i think all u need is to uninstall previous drivers and re-install the T-Mobile s2 drivers....once finished then connect ur fon to pc...hope this helps
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
Maybe try uninstalling Kies, going into Device Manager and moving all Samsung devices and drivers, maybe a registry clean after that, then a fresh reboot and see if it's recognised.

Or if you have another PC handy, try it all fresh in a new PC.

I feel it's a driver issue more than anything.
[Galaxy S II General] nukesecurity:
same here seeing as how it worked fine until Odin then jsut after reboot it poofed! lol! i will post back with results...
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
Jus a quick question.. i notice copy and pasting is no longer so simple in ICS... anyone having similar problems care to share?

Used to be able to long press on the input box and an option will me out... and double tapping on a word will bring up the cut copy paste menu...

EDIT: not sure if its a feature or a bug... u can access the notifications area if you have ur lockscreen set to "slide" only... its quite handy to quickly access missed calls, whatsapp etc without unlocking the screen first... somewhat like the tune of iOS notification system...
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
Noticed same issue with cut/paste but went back to kl1 for other reasons
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
I kinda manage to figure out how to cut n paste in mms.apk.. but seems like its not extended to other apps... which is kinda weird... somehow it might be related to clipboardsaveservice.apk...

anyway, anyone knows what does MAPServiceSamsung do? its a thread that keeps FC on me... but has totally no impact on the system other than being annoying.. and i cant locate which apk is tied to MAPServiceSamsung.... it goes by the handle com.samsung.map....

EDIT: i found the app that is linked to MAPServiceSamsung... its located with BluetoothMap.apk.... gonna remove it and see if there is any impact on bluetooth usage...

KP8 beta test release expect stuff not to work firmware not for public use testing only .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
We are aware it's a Beta and stuff won't work, doesn't hurt to still report the issues though and find workarounds to those issues!

That's kinda how Beta testing works..., ditto to your same reply on my other post aswell....
[Galaxy S II General] Crussader:
Hey, any luck with the stock email app? I've tried just the Email.apk from a Galaxy Nexus with no luck... I'll try with the Exchange.apk also... Maybe is that
[Galaxy S II General] koolshubh:
Face Unlock is not working for me....

HELP NEEDED.... :(
[Galaxy S II General] jerkywez:
I would have to disagree, i installed XXKP8 and i used to be able to get HSDPA on my provider but i also now dont see the H icon and have confirmed only the 3G icon appears and is definitely slower, hence it is not operating in HSDPA mode where as when i had 2.3.5 installed it was working..
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
I have to agree with you above, I am maxing out at 3 odd Mbps whereas used to be able to hit 7 - 8 Mbps in H zones... this would indicate I am truly only getting 3G.
[Galaxy S II General] lew247:
READ the rest of the thread and find the answer.. it's posted several times

I could post the answer for you but then you'd expect the same next time, A little reading never hurt anyone, and you might learn something too
[Galaxy S II General] ragsbava:
I am using the browser but there seem to be no lag (rooted it with KP8) also there is the brilliant feature where u can use google search new option where you can the search directly shows all the sites in the search results and that works fine too.
[Galaxy S II General] interfreak:
I'm getting over 5Mbps on bezke's XXKP8 ROM and 3G is the only symbol showing on my phone as well. So the phone is definitely connecting via HSDPA, its just that XXKP8 is not showing it in the status bar.
[Galaxy S II General] NinetyEagle:
XXKP8 have some problem!

I really liked that. But:

After a call the screen doesn't show anything. Only shows wallpaper.

Lockscreen doesn't work, task manager etc.

now i'm downloading XXKP4 :D

I hope it will work well.

But i have a 1 question. After i flashed that rom, then i have to change kernel version?

Thanks, sorry for my bad eng. :D
[Galaxy S II General] dorian95:
Guys, I think we all should wait, till Sammy make final ROM, it should be done in 1 month I think ;)
[Galaxy S II General] SWave711:
I bet the real ICS update will look similar to skinning seen here with all the bugs fixed. They will probably release TW5 for the GS3.
[Galaxy S II General] Cactus42:
Why? If you don't want to use it that's fine but lots of us don't have a problem playing with test versions.
[Galaxy S II General] dorian95:
I do not dispute with this, I'm just think that this version is not yet stable, for daily use, so we should wait for final build. I bet, it will be released at the end of January ;)

BTW, I really hope that Sammy will make TW5 for GS2, TW4 is just ugly for ICS, its not suitable at all, I think you guys agree with me.
[Galaxy S II General] sacmat:
no flash.......

plz confirm about nfc....
[Galaxy S II General] Synman:
what is there to confirm? our phone has no NFC hardware.

For gods sake! What is this hate that people have with a F*king triangle!

It does no harm.In fact it looks quite pretty!

I understand that you may want to get rid of it to return it under warrenty, but hey seriously, Whats wrong with a little yellow triangle that appears for 2 secs upon boot?

I LOVE MY TRIANGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] catolh:
Ok, so if i were to take my stock untouched SGS2 and do this, how would i get it back to stock again?

Is that even possible?

(asking in advance so i dont mess up my device)

[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
How did you get your H+ to work? Care to share?
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
After fishing this and going back to gb I still get the triangle but only if I'm charging the phone when it is turned off. Doesn't bother me though, think it only does it because the battery levels are low
[Galaxy S II General] gueststg:
My feeling about this rom,

It's no stable, Some bug below about it

A can use MyBackupPro to restore application or data I have a I/O error about my SD card;

Many reboot or freeze during use any compnent or appli.

I will waiting more stable update

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

If you want to remove yellow triangle,just need to back file (I9100_KERNEL_I9100XXKP8_CL42141_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5)to phone with Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] karthik.shreeram:

[Galaxy S II General] aegis_85:
Anyone got some random red frame? I didnt have this first day installing this, but now it bugs me.
[Galaxy S II General] rmeletti:
Try Bezke

You guys should try Bezke 's ICS rom. Most important things are working and stable. of course there are a few FC but only if you start "digging" into the system. For "user only"daily use it is completelly reliable! No more Gingerbread and TouchWiz ever!
[Galaxy S II General] meatmeat:
Disable the rede frame in settings and development
[Galaxy S II General] kevinkrs:
It is nice to see ics. But the performance are sometimes slow.
[Galaxy S II General] smnsnt:
I'm using this and it's okay for everyday use. I don't get FC so much, just only when the app is not compatiable. The battery is about the same as the gb version (if it's worse then it's just a lilttle bit worse cause I don't notice much difference. Still get 10-12 hours with normal usage, a little gaming and most of the time web browsing. I play with my phone every 5 - 10 minutes all day.)

It's okay for everyday use for me. Just wish for better battery performace in the retail version.
[Galaxy S II General] leon0602:
LOL i love my yellow triangle too :D:D:D

Thanks! buddy....Hotfile is sooo dead slow...
[Galaxy S II General] Perceval from Hyrule:
Sure ICS will not change everything ;) (I'm using Android since 1.6, and interface will not change massively - Windows uses the same interface since 1996 for instance ^^)

If you want to change things, have fun in framework-res.apk :)

[Galaxy S II General] Whookid:
Thanks for the outline, first day I'm having a Samsung Galaxy S 2 and this method was absolutely easy to do!
[Galaxy S II General] khanpk:
I have installed this rom but it have problems:

Battery is drain within 3 hours. also not working as flash drive.

Please don't waste your time.
[Galaxy S II General] ibabob:
You are right about that, this firmware is very plain and boring compared to the latest CM9 release which is a lot more like the Galaxy Nexus !
[Galaxy S II General] mattwilkinson11:
What is the battery drain like ? Also will this work on Galaxy S,

How do you overclock?
[Galaxy S II General] ste1164:
I would you suggest you do a bit more reading first. This won't work on the galaxy s unless a dev manages to make a port of it. The battery drain seems pretty bad. It's only beta software after all. To overclock you need root and a custom kernel that supports overclocking. You then download an app called set CPU and use that to change clock speed.
[Galaxy S II General] yohojones:
Update?

Accuweather crashes and I've had a few reboots.

Since this is an official rom can you wifi update? I connected to Kies and it says my phone cannot be updated. I don't want to go through odi again if i don't have to.
[Galaxy S II General] YoTu_01:

[Galaxy S II General] NZed:

[Galaxy S II General] TheSobadef:
It will not because the two are entirely different phones. The TELUS version sports a qualcom A8 chipset, while the I9100 sports an samsung A9 cshipset, not to mention a different motherboard and such.
[Galaxy S II General] netokee:
I tried KP8. Not stable enough. Will waiting on a "Official" and more Stable Version ;-)

Go back to KL1.
[Galaxy S II General] i1allz:
still waiting a fine-tuned UI from Google, like Microsoft did with Win Vista, Win7 and WM7, not big changes but more attractive. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Jeegsawk:
I don't think so. they are presenting galaxy s3 in February, I really doubt they will update SGS2 before that. Maybe galaxy note but I don't know. Consider they released last week a 2.3.6 firmware for Italy which locked wifi and Bluetooth to many users. I don't think they are giving so much time to SGS2

In my opinion they will not do it, SGS have still touch wiz 3. In any case there are custom roms

[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
Anyone else having constant reboots when screen goes off??

This happens with CM9 too :( :(
[Galaxy S II General] poochewer:
I agree. It cant be only me who thinks that the look of ICS is really ugly and plain.

Dont get me wrong ,Im sure its better at handling ram and multitasking and such, but boy, its looks so dull and dreary!!!!!:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] mc01319:
I think i'll wait for a custom stable ROM for ICS
[Galaxy S II General] poochewer:
You can make a little usb "dongle" that plugs in when the phone is turned off and it clears away the triangle.Just google it and you will find instructions on making one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKRrTZayRxU

Dont worry too much about the exact value of the resistor.People are very much overstating the importance of an exact resistance.Close enough is good enough.
[Galaxy S II General] leoni1980:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think he meant TouchWiz is boring and the same as it was on GB. If you're saying ICS is boring then I have to disagree. I have been using ICS on my Nexus S and it's like a whole new device. On the whole performance is BETTER than stock S2 in terms of smoothness.

I am of the opinion that in these early build Samsung is just using its Gingerbread apps and widgets and general UI setup but that simultaneously they have designers working on getting it themed up to work nicely with the look of ICS once they have the performance up to scratch.

If not then I will be very sad to see my Nexus S go when I sell it.
[Galaxy S II General] SaeMii3N:
Spent hours getting everything ready to flash this ROM, finally flashed it. It's really great so far, but it's not quite there yet. Lots of force closes and reboots, and somethings just aren't working. Can't wait for the official release to come out!
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
I had constant reboots and had to give up....next ROM perhaps
[Galaxy S II General] vyks10:
If you've decided to stick with this ROM, and are getting the occasional locks with just the wallpaper showing, you can save yourself from doing a reboot and it may still be possible to get into Settings via Menu, go to Apps > All and Force Close TwLauncher.

Pressing Home will relaunch and hopefully be up and running again. Apologies if already mentioned, this thread is a behemoth, I did a quick search to no avail.

KP8 is interesting from the standpoint we get to see where Samsung is taking ICS. That being said, this build is chalk full of bugs so beware this probably won't be your daily driver yet. Tons of kernel panics, TW FC's, random reboots, stock browser lags badly just to name a few. Appreciate the leak and look forward to future improvements.

i didnt use pit for what is this file and what this change ??

Its for Re-Partitioning a device and our partitions are on EXT4 as factory default.

try to avoid setting data limit lower than warning this will cause settings to freeze everytime you try to enter data usage...

I was trying to configure the data usage stuff and I set data limit first, and then I couldn't change the warning amount to fix this, so I had to do a reset...

PS, I am noticing some really poor performance in some parts compared to kp8, and when I uninstall an app the app menu plays up a little so I cant uninstall another app straight after, I needed to exit to my home screen then open the app menu again before I could uninstall another app...
