[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hardik_hrc:
Hello,

Just got my phone yesterday and this is my first android phone i am pretty sure my previous phone Windows phone was a lot lot better at most of the things and performance too!!

some times i see lag in scrolling menus,etc! on a Dual core it was hard to believe but anyways i hope it gets better with ICS soon.

So at the moment can anyone tell me where to get good apps (marketplace sucks to find apps)

and some ways to improve battery usage with keeping phone in push mode?

I would highly appericiate if anyone can give me a clue of good ICS custom ROM build there are so many builds and its highly confusing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Viamonte:
There's only one ICS thread for the Note, and it's on Development. About apps for performance and battery, i suggest applying either custom kernel (AbyssNote's or FM) and using SetCpu or Tegrak for overclock and undervolt. Custom launchers might help too, being Go Launcher and ADW two of the most famous. CPUSpy might help detecting any apps that are unlawfuly sucking juice or strange core behavior.

As a last Note, tough (pun intended) your dual core Android will never be as fluid as your 800mhz WP. That's the price we pay for the ability to customize absolutely everything.

Sent from my NotePhone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wannajump:
Amen to that. Viamonte is absolutely right, some of IPhone and window phone users have little idea what a good Android phone can do. Anyway welcome to Android, it's worth the switch.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Viamonte:
No idea, but it isn't. No matter how much you customize and alter your Android, you'll always find instances where it doesn't wake, or lag on scrolling, or screen changing, or whatever. After using a Titan, a N9 and a 4S for extended periods of time, I can easily say that's an Android problem, no matter how good the phone or the software is.

Except ICS, I haven't tried it yet...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CorruptedSanity:
Yes no android I've ever used was as fluid as an Iphone sadly.

I used a Desire and an HD on 2.0 and 2.1 and now have the Note on 2.3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jobiza:
Android 4.0 is really stable, my kid plays games with my phone and he got gb almost everytime reboot twice a day, but ICS haven't even once rebooted in a month. And android 4.0 is really fluid, due to hw-acceleration, but still not 100% fluid i think, maybe because i have unofficially ics on i9000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Update to the latest GB firmware (LA4?), it will resolve all your lag issues.

I know, I know quad core, BUT people say ICS makes a world of difference on any device 4 cores or 1!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hardik_hrc:
Yes i saw that ICS thread but i was little set back to see it isnt stable yet and being stated as it wont get camera till official ICS rom so i am looking at a no camera rom for at least 2 months for sure so cant dive into ICS as of now.

Your reply helps a lot :)

Was thinking if i can directly go to install any custom rom although i found more than 9 ROMs on the first page and all looked so same but not being good with technical of android i was thinking if you can suggest me a good rom.

I dont care about the theme and visuals at all i need cutting edge performance and battery life thats the only thing needed/

Do let me know if you have any specific rom in mind.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hardik_hrc:
I guess N7000 and your i9000 both are not the same so probably i cant install ICS in GNote (at least not the stable one right?)
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
hello guys, today i was charging my phone while using it, and my hand slipped and the cable just came off, it wasnt at an angle or anything but it was quite sudden, and now i notice a thin hairline on the usb port, i would like to ask is it a crack, can other lg optimus 2x users verify that there actually is a white hairline on the usb port, thx

p.s. i would try to take a picture with a camera, if anyone can post a pic of the usb port for me to compare would be very much appreciated
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
i dont mean to bump this thread, can somebody pls help to take a closeup pic of their micro usb port of the phone
[LG Optimus 2x] panospc:
I can't post a picture but my usb port has a very thin gap in the upper side

[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
wow thx guys, i was just abit worried, but my usb port still works, charging and sending files , i think its too difficult to take a photo, if any problems ill just send to lg service centre
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
ya it was clear enough thx, looks the same like mine, dont know how you managed to take a photo that closeup, must be good with cameras :)

[HD2 General] bn326160:
Yesterday I was working on my HTC HD2, flashed WP7 Mango on it, and opened it again to align the plastic keys with the hardware keys undeneath. It didn’t really work out, so I carefully seperated the digitizer from the display to realign theglass abovethe keys. Now The keys work perfectly, but the screen doesn’t react anymore. I have no clue what could’ve went wrong, the digitzer flex cable is still perfect, aswell are the others which connect the screen to the motherboard. Anyone have a clue what could’ve went wrong? I hope it can get fixed easily

I’ll try to hold the ‘end call key’ while using the display. Seems like that will help to entight the connection.

Fix: So I took the Display out again and checked the connection of the digitizer at the back of the screen. It was loose. So i've put it in place and fixed the connection with some extra tape.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NiTroGenious:
It happened to me twice, at random moments. The system froze for about 2min, Android restarted (without reboot, just the Android system) and all my video files stored in my external SD card (16GB kingston class4) are gone . Just the video files, nothing else! I don't know if the internal SD card was affected, because I had no video files in it.

The first time it was on Jetpack ROM v8.2 JW1 (I can't recall which kernel, because I tested a few), but now it happened again on the Surface v9.0 JVU ROM with semaphore 2.5.0 kernel.

It's definitely not this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3692, because no jpg file was affected and there was no .nomedia file in these directories. Even the videos from /external_sd/DCIM/camera were deleted!

It seems it's a Media Scanner issue. Has anyone encountered this issue?

EDIT:

I found the culprit!!! It seems that the "innocent" Vovio Vitamio Media Player has a bug that deletes all videos!!!! DO NOT INSTALL IT until they provide a fix (they are aware of this problem).

[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
those skins are only for the desire hd. they won't work on the Hero. the only way they possibly could work is if maybe they were ported to the hero but i couldn't say 100% if thats even possible. I don't have any experience at all in porting roms/skins etc so i'm afraid i can't help you with that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
Hi,

I just thought to start a thread for people that own the UK Orange Galaxy SII NFC Edition (Model GT-I9100p). Had this phone for a little over 2 weeks now and learned a lot from both XDA and sammobile. Okay here are my experiences so far:

The phone that I have comes with Android version 2.3.4 and has Orange applications pre-installed.

What I have been able/unable to do?

Able to root using DooMLoRD v4 exploit - yes!

Able to debrand uninstall Orange Apps using Titanium - yes! ( BUT not the logo at startup though)

Able to use CWM recovery - no! Not unless you are willing to put an insecure Kernel that is and then lose functionality of the NFC. There are some threads that post an NFCEnabler.zip file that you can flash post installation of the insecure Kernel but my experience has been giving me errors when I try to turn NFC on so it's a no go if one wants to keep NFC.

So far the above list is things possible using the orignal ROM that is branded with Orange.

The next thing I have been able to do is install 2.3.6 Samsung stock ROM (list of ROMs found at sammobile.com) - however as this is for the non NFC version you lose that functionality. Also DooMLord exploit does not work with this version so no root (haven't tried any other methods - if anyone else has feel free to update the thread). I have also installed 4.0.3 ICS from sammobile.com but found this a tad buggy (mainly Kernel Panics) - and again no NFC.

A caveat for anyone planning to venture down that route beware, if you want to go back to Orange stock ROM you will get errors stating Cannot mount /efs and /cache directory(ies) etc - took me a while to figure this out but you can get your original Orange rom back if you use Odin3 v1.85 check Re-Partition, Auto-Reboot, F-Reset Time, use a PIT file (I used u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4) and the Orange stock ROM (again found at sammobile).

So at the moment I am back with the original Orange ROM as I want to have NFC.

I hope this is useful and would be happy to create a thread of Q&A for owners of the NFC GT-I9100p edition.

Cheers,

J
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saull:
Thanks for the info, I'm using the same model, I've rooted using doom lords v4, and disabled some of the orange bloatware using nobloat,

however I can't find orange backup to disable it, I network unlocked my phone to use giffgaff instead so don't want this to run after each reboot, the only orange app left on the systems app list is signal boost which when disabled messes up the phone, maybe orange apps, games and back up is built into this our something, because I can't seem to find them on the list..

Did you remove signal boost?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanderli:
The fact is that you can flash any i9100 Custom Rom on the i9100p...The only inconvenient being that you'll lose NFC...which is not a big deal anyway as there is barely nothing you can do with it...at the current time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saull:
I no I can flash any rom/kernel I am happy with rooted stock tho because I keep NFC and tv out via mhl. I just want to no how he removed orange backup and orange app store?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
Hi - no I left signal boost just in case I need it (as I am using both Orange and T-Mobile sim cards at the moment). Since my last post I have actually removed a few more apps using Titanium - I removed the backup and orange using the same method. One thing though, when I removed the Orange Home Selector app I got a boot loop and had to do a reset in recovery 3e (& had to reinstall my apps) but then funny thing after that the home selector app is no longer there - I am guessing Titanium removed it from the actual ROM and upon reset it is no longer there?

The only Orange branded things I have now on the phone are the Orange Internet icon for the web browser, Signal Boost and the annoying splash animation when booting up/down the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
If you want you could also change the boot animation to the original SGS2 one or a custom. Details are within the forum.;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
Sweet - thanks for that

I followed this article here and I used the bootanimation.zip file for the boot up and the shutdown.zip for the boot down & works perfectly - thanks again for the heads up! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
UPDATE: Do not remove Home Screen Selector app

A little more info on removing Orange apps:

I did this (removed Orange Home Screen) and just found out that any launcher installed thereafter (Tried ADW and Go) makes the phone reboot into a loop and can't get passed the samsung logo animation....I even tried other home launcher managers from the App Store to the same effect!

PS you can fix the loop by going into recovery (3e) and rest all data etc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
OP:

Let me get this straight... you flashed a standard I9100 firmware (in other words, NOT an I9100P firmware... I9100 firmwares DON'T support NFC), then attempted to flash just a kernel to try to get NFC back?

I'm about 90% certain on this: NFC support is NOT in the kernel. If you remain on your stock i9100P firmware, you can flash whatever kernel you want that supports an I9100 (including insecure rooting kernels, Siyah, SpeedMod - whatever), and you should not lose NFC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
Well I thought so too but after flashing an insecure kernel (the one I tried was GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.0.2.tar which contains a zImage file inside) the NFC option disappeared from under Wireless & Networks. Then I tried the NFCEnabler.zip option to bring it back and did get it back but could not enable it as I was getting an Error Occurred message.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Where did you get that tar? Based on the name of the tar, it sounds like it's just cwm recovery... So you never tried a CF-root kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
Everything I got is from various threads here on XDA (apart from the offical ROMs which I got from sammobile) - maybe it wasn't a kernel...I did try another zImage which was meant to be the Orange France NFC Kernel (again downloaded from a thread on XDA - filename KERNEL_I9100PBVVKI2) and even with that NFC was not there...I am staring to think I should have gotten a non NFC phone... ;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigyun2000:
Hi all. I have just received one of these after many years as an iPhone user. So i am a total newbie to Android.

Ok i do not want to mess about with my phone at the moment. I wondered if any of you have any idea for a workaround for the problem i am having with KEIS.

I have installed KEIS and i want to run (store) Samsung Apps. Problem i am getting is

"This device is not supported by Samsung Apps, View compatibility list".

I look in the list and select Galaxy SII GT-I9100. But still no use. So i am at a loss. I guess this may have to do with me having the I9100P NFC from Orange.

I would appreciate any assistance please.

Many thanks

Tony
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
IMO Kies is total piece of cr*p - don't really use it but I have just connected it and I get 'Samsung Apps cannot be run - Please try again later'. Sorry I can't help further with that.

PS you know you can use the Samsung Apps application installed already on the phone if you want apps from there?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
But didn't I see somewhere that you already flashed a non i9100p ROM? If so, no kernel is going to bring it back. Nfc.apk is probably gone, and needs to be put back. There's an nfc enabler out there that does that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Is the PS a question? If so, yes. I've installed need for speed hot pursuit from the samsung apps app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
Okay, originally I flashed a non i9100p and yes lost NFC. I then tried the NFC.apk and did get it back but was getting error occurred when trying to enable the tick box under the wireless settings.

Then I found the original Orange i9100p ROM (on sammobile) installed that, got NFC back but I also wanted to have clockworkmod recovery and not the samsung 3e one and that's when I tried what I thought was the insecure kernel (the CWM file in my first reply) but lost NFC totally after applying that. I then tried the Orange France kernel (also a zImage) and that did not bring it back either. That's where I stopped trying anything else.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
What version is your "original Orange i9100p ROM"?

I'd say you need to flash back to your original Orange i9100p ROM, then flash the closest CF-Root kernel to that version. This should retain NFC, give you root, and install CWM all at the same time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petexx:
Hi Guys,

I only got this phone today (orange UK version).

I've spent hours on the forum trying to find some guides on how to root my phone and flash clean rom. There seems to be just way too much info for me.

Can you please point me into the right direction?

All I want is to root, remove simlock and flash a standard non-orange ROM.

Thanks

Pete
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Do you have an I9100, or an I9100P? (P has NFC)

Look in the sticky in the General section. There is a root guide and a firmware guide posted there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petexx:
I have I9100P locked to Orange UK. Thank I will try to look there but I'm a bit concerned that might damage my phone because the guides are not for the I9100P maybe?

I don't care about NFC I just want clean rom without all the orange rubbish.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
If you don't care about NFC, you can use any I9100 ROM. Just don't use an I9100G ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petexx:
ok thanks. So should I start with installing CWM first and then flashing custom ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Sounds like you're not rooted yet either. I'd suggest flashing a CF-Root kernel that is compatible with your firmware. This will root and install CWM. Then take a backup with CWM. (many, MANY guides are abound...)

Then you can do whatever you want. Just make sure you stick to I9100 or I9100P ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammw:
I've attached a screenshot....the problem with this edition is that mostly all xda developing is done on the i9100 so there isn't much in the way for this phone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petexx:
Thanks, I think I'm finally getting somewhere. The only thing is I don't know which CF-Root is compatible with my firmware like you say...

My Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100PBVKI3-CL608158

Any ideas?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
KI3 is the important part.

I'm also on KI3, I believe I used "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip".

Also, FYI. This information is already available on the CF-Root thread, under the heading "Help! Which file do I use ?"

Take your time, read as much as you can voraciously.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volod96:
Hello. I owe the same phone model and I think I can help you. i've senn that you're running KI3 firmware (not the latest). Even if you used the latest one flashing a kernel like CF-ROOT (use the CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip, I thin kit's the best) or Siyah.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petexx:
Uff... I've finally managed to flash CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip.

Can you guys advise me which ROM should I flash now? I'd like to go either for the most generic Samsung or custom ROM that is close to generic.

At the moment I've managed to sim unlock my phone and now priority is to debrand it completely from orange.

To the people who managed to sim unlock, how did you do it?

The methods I've tried don't work. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Upgraded to i9100p (Orange UK) last Friday;’09-03’ from the Desire. Rooted using DooMLoRD v4 exploit. Read of the binary count increase, so was dubious about putting an insecure kernel on from the download mode.

I have finally worked it out from scouring XDA forum. Download HC-KTool from Market. Edit the Build Prop using Root Explorer from ro.product.model=GT-I9100P to ro.product.model=GT-I9100, then save. Run HC-KTool and dump the kernel; “this will save it to the sdcard”. Download and extract the zimage of CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4. Copy the zimage to the root of your phone sdcard.

Run HC-KTool and flash Kernel from /sdcard/image.

You now have root and CWM and recovery without binary count increase(no yellow triangle on reboot). Reboot into recovery and backup your rom. Freeze bloatware using titanium backup or delete using root explorer;” be careful though”.

NFC and Orange signal boost still functioning. Not bothered at the moment in installing custom roms;" will wait for Kies or Samfirmware updated ICS on i9100p.

Thanks to Chainfire and DooMlord's method for all downloads and information.
