Just go to recovery to flash the modem Im using the XXLPX and have had one dataloss in 2½ weeks plus.. so there might be some truth in it having some signal loss. so newer don't necessary mean better, but I keep testing it. else XXLPW is pretty new, and havn't had reports about instability.

The nelp2 and nelp3 seems popular by some.. I even tried the old XXKI4 gingerberead modem.. and it worked ok, some say its still one of the best concerning battery life, and signal in rural areas, but I had minor complaints of speed..with that in mind, check the faq's modems part, and read up on what other Canadians find the best! :)

EDIT-> always leave a spare modem on your SDcard ready to flash if the one you are using suddenly fails on you frequently!

Hi guys, been lookin into flashing a rom for a while now and I think this will be my first venture into the rom world!. I flashed the siyah kernel onto my stock rom SGS2 to root it and trial it out, now Im looking at flashing RR 2.2.

Am I correct in thinking I can just do a full wipe and flash this rom? Im only questioning this as Ive done the siyah auto root way, rather than the CF root other people have done. Any advice appreciated...

Cheers.

Vis.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
If you after installing this one, run into any trouble, just flash a Siyah again, from recovery (be sure to have one there) and it should autoroot as far as I know

on a scale I'd put

1. SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2

2. SiyahKernel v3.3.1 <-higher initial drain

3. dont care :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Should Try

You should deffinately give XXLPQ a try, working great with siyah 3.2 kernel. In Winnipeg your MhZ frequency will be compatible with 1900-2200Mhz and that modem gives the best data download/upload/ping in and around that frequency. Do not worry about the kernel for now, just flash the XXLPQ modem.zip through recovery and you are good to go. Enjoy the speed.

guys any help !! my phone gets super hot when tweeting and surfing the internet !! why is thaat !!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
I am using XXLPQ Baseband too... not had problems with it at all (getting full bars for my wifi, etc, but I suppose this could be due to region and type of equipment standards used in your region).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Can only add to it, that I used XXLPQ since stock ICS, and didn't have much to complain about at all.. just wanted to 'try something new'
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
Well it's a double edged sword - trying new things. On one hand, good to try and maybe find something better (people become to complacent and miss out on things)... on the other hand, could mess things up lol. But I think by now most of us practice backing things up (nandroid, etc) to not worry about it so much.

Never know, you might find something better - give it a go bro!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Try pulling out the battery a few minutes and then pull it back. Also you can try changing the kernel :)

Don't expect a new release before next AOKP.. http://aokp.co/index.php/news then add a few days building it, and hopefully a week testing it! (since galaxy s2 isn't officially supported by AOKP, since none in the gang have one)

OK guys, thanks for your input. I think I will give xxlpq a try because it seems to be the most recommended. But excuse my new ness, but where do I download the cwm modem zip? All I can find Googling it are roms
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Tried to help out the one behind green infinitum (donate) and got him to fix two bugs, but the last one he can't currently fix, the default weather widget backgound turning grey, instead of default black, on the other themes, when installing his theme. Not many use that widget I guess.. but wrecking others themes (accidentally, from a 'minor bug') feels a bit sad from my point of view. I don't mind since I only use his theme!

I'm not sure if 'my' version of MyLifeRocks10's version of the store fix (to get a black and working store up to 98%, and fully backupable) survives a dalvik vipe, since it fragile.. and built up of multi-dpi, and it's custom framework, which is run over by my pitchblack store apps install, except the framework. so take care when wiping dalvik, and please report to me the results via PM!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
You should try LD3 instead. I read good feedbacks from users across Canada, including myself.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Mostly its suggested that a modem needs 1-2 days to settle.. like a kernel. But if you notice total network/data loss a lot.. or even twice,during that time, you should consider another one. It's mainly it's battery that need to settle, the rest just to make itself optimize.

And the XXLPQ is a polish (europe modem mainly) That comes with the standard europe (or nordic) ICS stock install

This rom contains kernel (because original Samsung's kernel can brick my phone, yes?). I bought s2 today and I must learn everything :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] readz_one:
guys, i tried to set max cpu to 1.6 MHz and suddenly the phone goes really bright and seems like going to explode. i took out the battery immediately. i tried it again but the phone hanged. so, we can't really overclock it to 1.6MHz ? I'm using siyah kernel 3.2.7.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kilometers4:
Not all phones can handle being over clocked. Mine can't
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
It contains CM9 kernel.. to be on the really safe side you can flash a siyakernel after install, if you have any problems with root .http://www.gokhanmoral.com/

1. SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2

2. SiyahKernel v3.3.1

since they autoroot, when installed. dont kill me if it don't work!

But download at least one of them to have as backup in recovery

If it's your first time.. have you rooted your phone? else check the guide on http://galaxys2root.com/

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonnyhall1bmx1:
couple of questions,

the 2 led buttons at the bottom is it possible to set them to a 3second timeout so they go off aftar 3 seconds like i could on official rom?

brightness, is it just me or does autobrightness not work or as well is it did in official rom ?

and last, what is the best kernel for this rom ? the stock cm9 that comes with 2.2 or to flash the siyah kernal. in terms of best i mean battery, stability, speed.

thanks guys
[Galaxy S II Android Development] askor:
Nope, I didn't root yet because I bought s2 today by auction and I'm waiting for parcel :P Thanks for your reply, I'll try it ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
No possibility to set it at 3 second, just kernel specific, on Siyah you have them on all the time or off all the time, or lower the voltage with extweaks to 2700 so its not so bright.

autobrightness gets better and better in the AOKP, after using your camera, it goes down a step (part of a temporary camera bug)

For speed and stability SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2 or SiyahKernel v3.3.1 (my very biased opinion) for battery CM9 according to people hooked on it, but it's a very basic kernel, no dualboot options, no tweaking via extweaks (available free at the store (for Siyahkernel only))
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
1. It's not possible without change of kernel, you can set it with Siyah or Fluxxi but no with CM9 kernel

2. Doesn't work like in the stock but it's working, just more slower

3. For battery CM9 for customization all the others :D this is really a matter of taste, test the stock kernel for at least 3 days and then switch to another, here you have my index of kernels: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27210265

Always easier to do remounts in recovery (if there aren't any problems, or changing it to external_SD) Then try to faq fix, but there will still probaly be 2 of each, since there actually are two of each, by making both /emmc/ and external_sdcard readable, use Poweramp, and you can choose what dir to look for music in (well worth the money! but there is a trial version out there too) (and for different gfx on the songs check my little fix in the faq)

Ok then it's not possible from recovery, since you are after a change of mount points. But if you suddenly (like me) get stuck on sd card not mounted when trying to get into either your internalsdcard or externalsdcard (/emmc/) with a rootable file explorer

you can remount them in recovery! And go on like nothing happened :)
