[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doofah:
Hi Guys, I've been searching and searching for several days now, and trawling endless requests and information about what kernels are compatible with what, but [blank look] huh?

Being an HTC user for the last 5 years, this all seems overly confusing, just when I think I have the info I need, I read a contradiction, then the thread dies!

So my question, and I apologise so much if this has been (and I'm sure it has) asked before:

I have a KH2 orange branded SGS2. I've flashed a new kernel (KH3) CFRoot, didn't put the original one back on because I don't want to lose CWM - it was invaluable on the hero, g1 etc.

Android Version: 2.3.3

Baseband: I9100BVKH1

Kernel: 2.6.35.-I9100XXKH3-CL479037 se.infra@SEI-15 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD BVKH2

But I still have the old Orange Firmware / Rom on the phone. I want to try some new unbranded ones, and check out how cyanogen works (and hunt out villainRom! My fave), but worried that if I use a rom with the wrong code (i.e based on XWKL1 or IML74K) I'm going to end up with an expensive (but very pretty) paperweight.

I see KH1, KH2 and KH3 in my phone info and I'm starting to get a little nervous that I messed up! lol

As far as I'm aware the code (XXKH3) (XWKL1) refers to the kernel?

The baseband would be the modem? If so, is this flashed with the rom/firmware?

How on earth do you decipher those codes?!

Thanks, and again, apologies if this is not a unique question but I'm sure the search feature is beginning to wear out now. If I had a touchscreen pc, there'd be a hole in the screen from pressing it so often!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
The "codes" as you call them are just firmware version numbers

(Year)(Month)(rom number)

So KK5 would be a 2011 rom released in the 11th month and its the 5th rom built this month.

BV

KH1

Bold: Country code

Underlined: Rom version

Baseband is the modem, you can mix/match any modem with any firmware (also our modem is almost unbrickable, had someone flash a i9000 modem and it was fixed by flashing a correct one ontop, but still be careful), there is no "best" modem, just find one that works for you.

Its best to keep your kernel and rom version the same, but it wont hurt to much if they dont match.

Recovery and kernel are fused together in samsung devices, so when you flash a kernel you flash recovery, so in order to get CWM you need a kernel with it (glad to see you worked this out!)

Dont worry about the base version, you can flash any i9100 rom on your i9100, the code is just a version+region code.

Also you dont need to worry about the region code, it doesnt have to match your region.

Also, this is a very good guide

ps make sure to backup your EFS asap, read that guide for more info!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doofah:
Thank you very much!!

That's so much clearer :) And now I'm not terrified of turning my SGS2 into a plastic poptart let the fun begin!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Its generally a hard phone to brick

A few notes

1) you dont need to put a pit into odin

2) dont repartition in odin

Swype will be releasing an official beta later this month.

I've tried the swype.apk from the post in Applications and themes (can't post links since they've got a C&D letter from swype). It works, but i couldnt manage to download additional languages. I checked the swype forums, and they say that download of language packs doesnt work for ICS yet.

There is a workaround where you use titanium backup to get the language files you want. You have to be rooted for this to work though.

Who else here using launcher pro as their default launcher? Has anyone notice during reboots it takes time for it to reload? Other launchers like go ex, launcher 7 reloads automatically..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidkid311:
Im using launcher pro and i dont get you?

looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckle03:
After every fresh reboot it shows a blackscreen for like minimum 20 secs to 1 minute before it totally loads up. Unlike go launcher which im in right now, after every fresh boot you can use it directly even if everything is still scanning. Dont get me wrong i love LP, im asking here coz i cant compare it to someone else coz im the only one here at home using android.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
I know exactly what you're talking about. And more often then not I ended up force closing it. Until I started using CM9.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckle03:
Yeah samehere :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incident404:
Yea, usualy its just FC on boot, after this all going ok.

I was fan of LP from Nexus One launch. But few weeks ago changed it to Go Launcher. Was annoyed by bug with rotation in all apps list (when all icons go to 1 corner). Go launcher was realy laggy on CM7, but now i'm using RevoHD4, and seems Go launcher not lagging anymore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabioascoelho:
Having the same problem here. With every ROM or Kernel, LancherPRO Plus always take 20-40 sec to boot up. Sometimes it force close...

I'm using it this way because it's only on bootup but its annoying me since last year. I was hoping for and Update but there's almost 8 months since the last version was released. I think this project is abandoned.

I think i will change to another launcher.

Does anyone recommend a good one? Where the APP Drawer list apps alphabetically and not like TW, i hate to organize every app i install.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twistbaloo:
when i was on gingerbread i use go launcher i think it's the best launcher , now on ICS i just use trebuchet
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefrcoko:
I use go launcher but don't notice the problem you described, although I do get the feeling the app has been abandoned. I suggest go launcher, because although it has slightly more lag than launcher pro, it is more customizable in my opinion. you can also try adw launcher and see which you prefer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
I use LP, but behaves a little differently on reboot than the descriptions here.

No blank screen - icons etc load instantly - but it's unresponsive for 6 seconds (timed it).

No biggie for me, I usually have 6 seconds spare...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chemija:
Same here. Max 5 seconds spare. I think it depends on your system.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabioascoelho:
Maybe it has something to do with widgets you use?

I'm using the LP Twitter Widget (with a modified dark-transparent skin), Beatiful Widgets for clock/weather, 5 SimiFolders widgets 1x1 and PlayerPro Music Widget...

Hi,

I have a problem with the HD videos, movies.

I use Moboplayer and the 720p .mkv video playing is fine but no sounds!

I tried it with mVideoplayer, Rockplayer, Vplayer, BSPlayer. No sounds.

The TP's hardware is powerful to play HD videos so i don't understand. Do i need codec pack?

Btw the normal (not HD) video playing is perfect.

Android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Alpha 3.5

Please help!
[TouchPad General] Grizzy3:
Maybe try MX video player and see if that works.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
Did you change audio tracks when the little audio note symbol pops up? I have to do that every time or I get no sound.
[TouchPad General] tom1420:
@Grizzy3: I tried MX video player and installed ARM7 codec pack for mx video player, no results :(

@muyoso: I tried to change the audio track but both don't work.
[TouchPad General] Grizzy3:
Sorry I couldn't help. Hm. I use the Xron rom i see you're on cm7 alpha. Maybe try re-flashing that? Or you might want to try out X-Ron.
[TouchPad General] tom1420:
How to install Xron rom? Just wipe and install the xrom.zip from recovery?

If i try MIUI? Which is the better? Xron or MIUI?
[TouchPad General] Grizzy3:
You should probably wipe all data then just flash like any other rom. I would suggest Xron. That's what I have and I personally enjoy their work. You're welcome to check out both threads in the development section to help your decision but I would go with X ron.
[TouchPad General] omnikai:
I find Dice Player is the best solution, though it isn't free. There's a trial though to see if it works for you.
[TouchPad General] tom1420:
Well, i tried it, now i have sound but no picture and after 7 seconds the video stopped and the app closed.

I am so confused, i think the best what i can to do forget the cyanogenmod and try an another rom.
[TouchPad General] Grizzy3:
I would recommend giving xron a try.
[TouchPad General] tom1420:
Could you show me the Xron's topic please? I can't find.

Or can i have an xron download link please?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] djynns:

In all GB ROM many people says that the push notifications work fine but then the push notifications not works fine.

To check if the push notifications works fine, you must to standby your screen about 30min and then send you a whatsapp or gmail.

Can you check if after 30min with the screen in standby whatsapp and gmail notifications works fine?

All GB ROM have the same problem.

what files do i need before installation?

hope someone can shade some light for me. tq.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
Let me try to answer this since TS has no hints or busy.

Flash to KPE then KPQ via ODIN

Flash Kernel (UC v6, v7 or v8fix). v6@1.1GHz is stable and recommended.

Flash this cROM

Clear caches and reset via CWM

Restart and a new era has arrived...

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bracula:
bro, which kernel do you use now?

do you still have issues with wifi connection?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
i tried v7 and v8fix. both exhibit weird wifi issues and occasional hang. but they boot up much much faster than v6.

however, i am looking for stability so i revert back to v6. battery life is fantastic and deep sleep is 80%++ during airplane mode at night.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bracula:
haha, finally I revert bact to v6. and everything seems working fine now.

thanks, bro!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] botac_6:
how should i flash this custom ROM?

flash as PDA on Odin is it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bracula:
No.

after you flash KPQ and UC Kernel via Odin; you copy the icebolt rom (the zip file) to the root of your external SD.

then enter recovery mode and install the zip file via CWM.

don't forget to wipe chaces

Internal memory (1.6gb) used as storage and sd card as in external memory (one expandable upto 32gb)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
you are using the wrong terms and creating confusion.

Do you know the terms:

memory vs storage?

ram vs nand flash?

bit vs Byte?

Facts:

Internal memory is 478MB, not 1.6gb.

Internal memory is DRAM type so it is not used for storage.

SDcard is not memory, it is storage.

For I9003, sdcard storage is inside phone which is fixed at 2GB.

External sdcard is expandable to 32GB.

They are GB, not gb.

Get your facts right before you ask funny questions.

If you are asking about external sdcard and sdcard swap, it is just changing 2 lines in etc/vold.fstab after rooting. You can find in this forum how to do it.
